Yu Yunzheng held nothing back as he told everyone everything that was going on with Yunyan City.
After he finished, the entire hall grew dead quiet.
Everyone was wearing a different expression. Some were shocked, some looked wary, and some were still dubiousâ¦
Even Yu Yunfeng was stunned... Did Sixth Brother realize how bad his situation was and decide to change for the better?
It was only after a long silence that someone sneered, âHeâs ultimately an outsider. No matter how powerful he is, itâs not like he can participate in our clan competition.â
Yu Yunzheng said expressionlessly, âDonât forget that Sixth Brother is the legitimate son of the patriarch. As long as he participates in the competition, he will be qualified to enter the Great Yu Secret Realm regardless of his result.
âAnd that fellow you all regard as an outsider is a dao rune founder that even Master Mo has admitted he is inferior to.
âWith his help, the restrictive power that our first ancestor left in the Great Yu Secret Realm wonât be a problem for Sixth Brother at all!â
The atmosphere became somber.
The clan competition would begin in less than ten days. Yet, right at this juncture, the fool who they thought didnât have the guts to participate in it at all had unexpectedly displayed a tendency to.
Moreover, he was also bringing along a powerful external support!
Who wouldnât be alarmed?
While all of them were rivals, Yu Yunhe was still different. As the legitimate son of the patriarch and his wife, his bloodline was pure, so he held a special status.
If he hadnât been behaving so poorly in the past, then he would have long been selected as the future patriarch, and this position wouldnât have been left vacant until now.
Suddenly, someone spoke up, âAre you telling us all this because you already have a plan, Third Brother?â
The question caused all eyes to fall on Yu Yunzheng.
Yu Yunzheng frankly said, âSixth Brother isnât worth worrying about, but his aid is a potentially huge threat to every one of us here. What do you all think?â
Many people nodded.
Seeing this, Yu Yunzheng revealed his true intention, âTherefore, I have summoned you for only one thing: to unite all of our strength and get rid of this helper!â
Many eyes narrowed at this.
Yu Yunzhengâs voice was heavy, âEliminating this person is equal to cutting off Sixth Brotherâs greatest reliance. We all know about our brother, he cannot compete with us with his abilities alone even if he participates in the clan competition and enters the Great Yu Secret Realm.â
âThird Brother, isnât this a bit too much?â Yu Yunfeng frowned.
Yu Yunzheng said nonchalantly, âFirst Brother, I hope you know that we are dealing with an outsider and not Sixth Brother.â
The others also chimed in, âYes, First Brother, heâs only an outsider. Heâs simply looking to die if he dares to meddle in our clanâs affairs!â
Yu Yunzheng instantly smiled, knowing that he had convinced them.
Only Yu Yunfeng sighed in his heart.
â¦â¦
Two days later.
A treasure ship shot across the blue sky.
âBrother Lin, over there is Jiuhua Sacred Mountain, where our first ancestor certified his Emperor dao on. Since then, our Yu Clan has inhabited this place for all our generations.â
On the Grand Universe Ark, Yu Yunhe emotionally pointed to the distance.
All these years, he had been cultivating in the Alchemy Dao Sect in order to avoid the infighting among the clanâs youngsters. This was the first time he had returned in a long time.
Lin Xun raised his eyes to look.
A majestic mountain occupied the distant horizon like a massive dragon. Steaming with divine splendor and shrouded in an auspicious aura, the mountain was simply magnificent.
âA great place indeed.â Lin Xun controlled the treasure ship to land on the ground before Jiuhua Sacred Mountain.
âBrother Lin, Iâll report your request to my father as soon as I see him. If Ancestor Qingyang is in the clan, Iâm sure he will definitely meet you,â said Yu Yunhe as he led Lin Xun and Nan Qiu toward the mountain gate.
âStop!â
A figure emerged in front of the ancient and wide gate. It was a feather-clad youth with an arrogant demeanor.
âOld Ninth?â Yu Yunhe frowned. âWhatâs going on here? You donât recognize your sixth brother anymore because I havenât returned to the clan for some years?â
âHeh.â The feather-clad youth chuckled. âSixth Brother, everyone is very happy that youâve returned, but you know that the clan competition will soon begin. At this juncture, all outsiders are prohibited from entering.â
Yu Yunhe instantly understood that he was targeting Lin Xun!
His face was grim. âOld Ninth, if you still consider me your brother, then quickly make way, otherwise donât blame your sixth brother for not giving you face.â
âOh? Arenât you so mighty, Sixth Brother, being rude and demanding to your kin the first moment you show up after so many years?â A cold laugh rang out.
From the mountain gate, Yu Yunzheng, Yu Yunlong, and a host of leading figures of the Yu Clanâs young generation came out in a line.
What a scene theyâre making!
Yu Yunheâs heart sank. The fact that so many people made an immediate appearance after he had only just arrived meant that the other party had obviously planned this beforehand!
âThird Brother, is this all your idea?â A furious Yu Yunhe gritted his teeth.
âNinth Brother is right. We welcome your return, but we donât welcome the people around you,â said the second brother Yu Yunlong coldly.
Yu Yunhe was seething with rage as he stressed his words, âI want to see Father and report this to him. If he makes the same judgment, then Iâll have nothing to say. But if this is only a decision you guys make privately, then I, Yu Yunhe, shall not let this matter rest!â
There was a moment of silence in the arena.
Yu Yunheâs father was the current leader of the Yu Clan. If word of this got to him, then no one could predict what the consequences might be.
âSixth Brother, youâre not thinking clearly!â bellowed Yu Yunzheng who proceeded to reprimand him coldly. âAre you not aware that the guy surnamed Lin beside you just brutally murdered two high-ranking elders of the Yunyan Breeze Sect a few days ago?
âTheyâve already announced a wanted notice on him, and this kind of vicious criminal can be executed by anyone, but you still plan to bring him into the clan. Simply unbelievable!â
His words resounded powerfully.
However, the mention of this matter completely triggered Yu Yunhe. His eyes became bloodshot, and he bristled with anger.
âStop your bullshit, Old Third! You and that despicable wretch Lan Caiyi joined hands to get rid of me outside Yunyan City, so you persuaded those two old bastards of the Yunyan Breeze Sect to do that. If Brother Lin hadnât been so righteous to help me, then I wouldnât have been able to return alive!â
The area became restless as the expressions of the Yu Clanâs youngsters shifted. Yu Yunzheng had never said a word about this, so it caught everyone off guard.
It was worth mentioning that the Yu Clan could tolerate infighting, but they would never permit them to kill each other.
If Yu Yunheâs claim was true, then Yu Yunzhengâs action was tantamount to crossing the clanâs bottom line!
Yu Yunzheng was confounded, simply not expecting that Yu Yunhe, who he considered an idiot, would bite back at this time. He was so mad that he gritted his teeth and took a good moment to react.
âPresumptuous! Donât you dare slander me, Old Sixth!â roared Yu Yunzheng. âThose two elders of the Yunyan Breeze Sect only wanted to deal with that brat surnamed Lin beside you, it doesnât have the slightest thing to do with you at all!â
Yu Yunhe scoffed, âReally? How do you know so much about the matters of the Yunyan Breeze Sect, then? Whatâs more, when I left Yunyan City, you saw with your own eyes that I was traveling with Brother Lin. I was intercepted by those two fossils soon after and they clearly wanted to kill me, and you say that I wasnât their target? Whoâd believe you?â
Yu Yunzheng was stumped and furious.
The others were also taken aback. Was this still that uneducated and unambitious piece of trash they knew?
In the past, Yu Yunhe had always acted like a mouse seeing a cat when he had encountered them, never daring to talk back to them at all.
But now, not only was he not acting like a coward at all, but he was also displaying an unprecedented unyielding altitude. This was completely unexpected to them.
Lin Xun watched this without feeling surprised at all.
While it looked like the fuss was about him, in reality, these youngsters were only using him to attack Yu Yunhe!
âIt seems that my appearance makes them feel threatenedâ¦â pondered Lin Xun.
He didnât even need to guess to know that Lan Caiyi had sent a message to Yu Yunzheng and told him about the death of Wei Chong and Chai Feng.
Then, Yu Yunzheng, knowing the situation wasnât good, had made an immediate decision to gather the others to join hands, resulting in what was unfolding right now.
âNan Qiu, stick close to me later,â transmitted Lin Xun.
Nan Qiuâs heart tightened, and she nodded imperceptibly.
âOld Sixth, looks like youâve been so blinded by this Lin brat that you canât see clearly anymore. In that case, as your older brother, Iâll do you a favor by ridding you of him first, and then we can have a good chat to inform you of the reality!â Yu Yunzhengâs expression was chilling, his voice callous.
âYou still want to continue with this fad?â Yu Yunhe couldnât contain his anger.
Is there even a need to ask?
Lin Xun inwardly sighed. Yu Yunhe was still green after all. Since the other party had made such a scene, how could they possibly stop so easily?
âChildish!â Yu Yunzheng sneered and swung his hand.
Whoosh~
A group of experts rushed out. There were both men and women, all of whom had a shockingly powerful aura. Quite a few of them were even Saint-Kings.
Yu Yunhe froze in shock. Many of these people were his elders, holding different important positions in the Yu Clan!
âSo, you guys have everything well arrangedâ¦â Yu Yunhe only felt that his lungs were about to explode with fury. Did these clansmen treat him as a lamb to be slaughtered?
âSurnamed Lin, are you going to surrender or are you going to make us make you?â Yu Yunzhengâs gaze was icy cold as it locked onto Lin Xun.
The others also displayed hostility.
Lin Xun looked indifferent, his eyes deep as he said, âFrom the looks of it, you guys definitely wonât let me leave even if I want to.â
Yu Yunzheng was unperturbed. âYou killed two elders of the Yunyan Breeze Sect and hoodwinked my sixth brother. Since you obviously harbor evil intentions, how can we let a murderer like you leave?â
âWhatâs the point of talking nonsense with him? Hurry up and kill him,â urged Yu Yunlong impatiently.
Lin Xun looked up at the lofty Jiuhua Sacred Mountain and suddenly smiled, a smile that was devoid of emotion.
This was the Imperial Yu Clan and its grand entrance, but none of its big figures had even shown up once.
Did this mean that they were also acquiescing or even condoning what was happening here?
âYou want to attack him? Over my dead body!â
It was also at this moment that Yu Yunhe, taken over by anxiety and rage, let out a roar and blocked in front of Lin Xun without any hesitation.
