"Elder Yanmo, no matter what the reason, that woman embarrassed our Yanxia Sect in public. We have to find her no matter what. As for those two people from the Yunxia Sect, since we are in the wrong, let it go." The person who spoke was the instigator of the protection fee, Yue Jiang.
A person with temperament and a bit of a dandy vibe.
"Haha! Yue Jiang, why are all of you who came back from Yun Sect all the same? Since your return, the atmosphere in our four major sects has become worse and worse. Can you do something good?" Han Yu said in a cold voice.
He had just had an argument with this guy, but unfortunately, since they were all his direct disciples, he couldn't do anything to him.
The original disciples and returning disciples of the four major sects were basically fighting each other. It was not just the Yunxia Sect that was like this. The fighting among the three sects was even more intense.
This was because Yun Che was on the side of the Yun Clan, while the other three Dao Palace Level 4 masters who had returned were all thinking about seizing power.
“Hmph! The world of cultivation has always been like this. If you have ever been to the Yun Sect, you would know what it means that if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What’s that to me if I just ask for some spirit stones?” Yue Jiang snorted coldly.
Han Yu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the elder of their family.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I hope that the same thing as what happened to Yue Jiang won't happen again. But that woman offended our Yanxia Sect, so we can't just let it go. Even if the two people from the Yunxia Sect rescued her, we might as well go to the Yunxia Sect to ask for her back. Since that woman didn't leave Silent City, she must be on Yunxia Street." Elder Yanmo interrupted the quarrel between the two.
Regarding this matter, Han Yu also agreed to cause trouble for Wu Linzhi, because Wu Linzhi had brought great shame to their Yanxia Sect and had also injured their people, so it was impossible for them to just let it go like this.
As for the embarrassment caused by the hallucinogenic fog, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.
“Yes, since this matter was caused by me, I will go to Yunxia Sect myself to ask for the person. I believe that they will not make enemies with our Yanxia Sect just for a casual cultivator.” Yue Jiang said, then turned around and left.
As long as Wu Linzhi is still in Silent City, it will not be difficult for them to find her. The difficult part lies in negotiating with the Yunxia Sect.
Ye Liuyun and the other two were still eating, drinking and chatting in the Lingshi Restaurant, unaware that Wu Linzhi was about to get into trouble.
Chapter 178 Conflict (I)
Yue Jiang of the Yanxia Sect and his men have arrived at the Yunxia Sect's branch on Yunxia Street.
"I am Yue Jiang from the Yanxia Sect, and would like to see Senior Yun Ming." Yue Jiang arrived at the entrance of the Yunxia Sect branch and gestured his identity token to the two Yunxia Sect disciples at the door, and also explained his purpose.
After confirming the other party's identity, the guarding disciple of Yunxia Sect immediately bowed slightly to the other party, and then hurriedly invited Yue Jiang in.
This Elder Yunming is the elder who is in charge of Yunxia Street in Silent City and a cultivator of the second level in the Taoist Palace.
Yun Ming already knew what happened in Yanxia Street not long ago, and he also knew that the people from Yanxia Sect would definitely come to cause trouble, so he immediately called the important disciple in charge of managing Yunxia Street to come over to see what the people from Yanxia Sect were going to do.
"Yue Jiang from the Yanxia Sect pays his respects to Senior Yun Ming." After arriving, Yue Jiang immediately bowed to a female elder who was sitting in the main seat.
As soon as we hear the name of Elder Yunming, we know that he must have been a male elder.
Also here are Feng Wenshu, one of Yunhui's direct disciples, and Zhao Ke, another direct disciple of Huigui.
"Well, Junior-Junior Brother Yue, what are you here for?" Yun Ming knew the other party's purpose, but she had to play dumb because the one who caused the trouble was Lin Aoxue.
When Yue Jiang saw the other party pretending to be stupid, he immediately felt unhappy. Silent City was so small, and such a big thing happened in Yanxia Street, it was impossible for the other three families not to know about it.
But there was no other way, he could only patiently explain in detail the purpose of his visit.
"Oh, Senior Yunming, this is the case. Not long ago, a big incident happened in our Yanxia Street. A female cultivator in the Lingwen Realm had a conflict with our Yanxia Sect's disciples and injured them. We checked and found that the other party ran into Yunxia Street, so we hope that the Yunxia Sect can help us catch this woman." Yue Jiang explained.
This guy is quite smart. He didn't mention at all the fact that Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun rescued Wu Linzhi. In this way, the Yunxia Sect had basically no reason to reject Yue Jiang.
"Is there such a thing? Then do you know where this troublesome female monk is now in our Yunxia Street?" Elder Yunming asked again.
Since Yue Jiang came to Yunxia Street, he must have known where the people were. It was just that Wu Linzhi and Lin Aoxue were together, and just because they were in Yunxia Street, it was impossible for him to bring people to Yunxia Street to arrest them.
The best way is to ask Yunxia Street to help catch the person and then hand him over to them. This is the best result.
"I know this. The person is in a spiritual food restaurant on Yunxia Street. So, I hope that you can send someone to capture the female monk and hand her over to our Yanxia Sect. We, the Yanxia Sect, will be very grateful." Yue Jiang replied.
When Elder Yunming heard this, her face twitched. After she learned about this, she went to find Lin Aoxue as soon as possible. Yunxia Street is so small that it is easy to find someone.
But what if she found the person? According to the report from the disciple she sent to find the person, Lin Aoxue seemed to get along well with the woman in green, and they might have become friends.
This was not the first time that Lin Aoxue came to Silent City. She knew Lin Aoxue's character and knew that she would definitely not let the Yunxia Sect hand over the person.
But it was not easy for her to directly reject Yue Jiang. If she was not careful, it would cause a conflict between the two sects. But if she did not offend Yue Jiang, she would offend Lin Aoxue. She already knew about the Blood Demon Cult. Lin Aoxue was actually able to defeat the evil cultivator of the second level of the Taoist Palace alone. With such combat power, she was probably not weaker than theirs.
So this is basically an impossible problem to solve.
Yun Ming was very conflicted, so he didn't say a word for a while, but at this moment, Zhao Ke spoke. Zhao Ke was a disciple who returned from Yun Sect. He and Yue Jiang were acquaintances, and as they were both from Yun Sect, they were on the same front.
So he must help Yue Jiang.
"Elder Yunming, a small casual cultivator dared to ignore the majesty of our four major sects and the regulations of the city. I think he should be arrested and severely punished. I suggest that you capture him and hand him over to the Taoist friends of Yanxia Sect." Zhao Ke said with a smile.
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, Yun Ming and Feng Wenshu frowned at the same time.
When Yue Jiang heard Zhao Ke speaking on behalf of their Yanxia Sect, he immediately smiled. This way, the Yunxia Sect would have no way to refuse.
"Wenshu, come here." After thinking for a while, Yun Ming called Feng Wenshu to his side and whispered a few words to him.
After she finished speaking, Feng Wenshu immediately turned around and left.
"Eh? What does Senior Yunming mean?" Yue Jiang looked at Feng Wenshu who was leaving with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, nothing. Didn't you want us to catch someone? I sent Wen Shu to check it out. If the person is really there, we in the Yunxia Sect will immediately capture him and hand him over to you, Junior Brother Yue." Yun Ming replied with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Yue Jiang and Zhao Ke looked at each other at the same time.
"Senior Yunming, you don't know this woman in green, how can you find her? Why not let me lead the way myself?" Yue Jiang said hurriedly.
"Elder Yunming, I am also willing to help Junior Sister Feng catch the troublemakers." Zhao Ke also said.
Elder Yunming pretended to be in deep thought. After about half a minute of silence, he nodded.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly ran out of the attic.
"Hey! Aoxue, Aoxue, I, your uncle, can only help you delay for a while. I hope you know what to do." Yun Ming said helplessly when he saw the two leave.
Lin Aoxue had already received the message from the Yunxia Sect. After noticing her identity token vibrating, she checked it immediately.
"Hey? Liuyun, stop eating. We have to find a way to hide Sister Wu." Lin Aoxue stood up suddenly and said to Ye Liuyun.
As soon as Ye Liuyun saw Lin Aoxue's reaction, he knew that it must be the Yanxia Sect that came to cause trouble.
Based on their understanding of the sect, even if Wu Linzhi spoke up for justice, she was blatantly challenging the authority of the Yanxia Sect, and the Yanxia Sect would definitely cause trouble for them. As for the two of them, nothing would happen to them.
However, it is impossible for the sect to make trouble with the Yanxia Sect for the sake of an unrelated cultivator, so they will definitely send people to capture Wu Linzhi.
Seeing Lin Aoxue’s big reaction, Wu Linzhi immediately frowned and asked.
"What? Are the people from Yanxia Sect here?"
"Well, Sister Wu, you are not a disciple of our four major sects, so there are some things that are difficult for us to say. But don't worry, the two of us will keep you safe." Lin Aoxue said.
After saying that, she glanced at Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun understood what she meant.
"Sister Wu, take this pill. After taking it, you can conceal your breath and hide your body. Just sit quietly and don't talk or move. They can't see you." Ye Liuyun handed an invisibility pill to Wu Linzhi.
When Wu Linzhi heard about such a pill, she was a little surprised, but she still followed Ye Liuyun's advice and took the pill.
Sometimes, you can only go with your feelings. She believes that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue will not betray her.
As the elixir entered her body, Wu Linzhi disappeared immediately. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was Feng Wenshu.
After Lin Aoxue was sure that Wu Linzhi was hiding, she turned around and opened the door of the private room. When she opened it, she saw Feng Wenshu and several disciples standing outside.
As soon as the door opened, Feng Wenshu first looked inside the private room, but what puzzled her was that there were only Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue inside, and there was no third person at all.
"Yes, Senior Sister Feng, why are you here?" Lin Aoxue asked with a smile.
Ye Liuyun also stood up and saluted Feng Wenshu, but Feng Wenshu did not say much. Instead, he quickly pulled Lin Aoxue aside.
"Junior sister, where is the green-clothed female monk who was with you?" Feng Wenshu asked.
Lin Aoxue knew that Feng Wenshu was here to ask this.
"Let's go. What's wrong? People from Yanxia Sect are here to cause trouble." Lin Aoxue said with a smile.
When Feng Wenshu heard that the person had left, she was very puzzled, because the person they sent to follow told her that Wu Linzhi had never come out, and she was not here to capture Wu Linzhi, but to help Wu Linzhi escape. She came here in advance to take the person away before Zhao Ke and Yue Jiang.
"Junior sister? Don't lie to me. Hand the person over to me quickly and I will send her away. The people from Yanxia Sect already know that you are here, and they have people following you outside." Feng Wenshu felt that it must be Lin Aoxue who hid the person.
But in the face of such a thing, Lin Aoxue would not believe what they said, even if the sect really came to help her solve the problem.
"Thank you, senior sister and uncle Yunming. However, the person is really gone. Look, there are only me and my sister here, no one else." Lin Aoxue said again.
Seeing that Lin Aoxue still said this, Feng Wenshu had no choice but to accept it.
"Junior sister, if you say so, then there is nothing we can do. They will be here soon. If they find that girl in this restaurant, it will be difficult to deal with then." Feng Wenshu reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm responsible for what I do." Lin Aoxue nodded.
Feng Wenshu said nothing more, but gave orders to the disciples outside the door.
"Go find someone."
The disciples quickly separated to look for people, and not long after, Yue Jiang and his companions also came up, but when they came up, they found that there was no one with Wu Linzhi here.
"Where are they? Junior Sister Feng, where is that woman in green?" Yue Jiang became unhappy immediately when he found that there was no one here, and at the same time looked at Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.
He knew that it was these two people who rescued the people and caused the disciples of the Yanxia Sect to have hallucinations.
"People? What people? What are the fellow Taoists from Yanxia Sect talking about?" Lin Aoxue asked impolitely with her hands folded.
When Yue Jiang heard Lin Aoxue say this, his face turned ugly on the spot.
"You are Junior Sister Lin from the Yunxia Sect, right? Junior Sister Lin, let's be frank. Not long ago, you and this junior sister rescued a woman in green from our Yanxia Sect. You also used some means to make our people fall into an illusion. We in the Yanxia Sect will not bother with you two about these things. But the person must be handed over to us. Your elders have already agreed." Yue Jiangzhi said.
Chapter 179 Conflict (II)
"Oh, you from the Yanxia Sect have the nerve to say that? Yes, it was me who rescued her, so what? You from the Yanxia Sect violated the rules set by the four sects and exploited other cultivators at will. That sister was just speaking up for justice, but you wanted to arrest her. You were so domineering, I couldn't stand it, so I took action. Am I lying?" Lin Aoxue asked sarcastically.
Yue Jiang was choked by Lin Aoxue's words. He was not in the right anyway and certainly could not refute it, so he simply pretended not to hear it.
"That is our Yanxia Street's own business and has nothing to do with your Yunxia Street. I hope Junior Sister Lin will not destroy the relationship between our two sects because of a small casual cultivator." Yue Jiang said with a grim face.
Seeing that the other party was so shameless, Lin Aoxue decided to become a scoundrel as well.
"Really? Well, in a word, the person has already left. You can go find him yourselves. He is not with me anyway." Lin Aoxue sat down directly, leaving Yue Jiang aside, and continued to eat and drink with Ye Liuyun.
Yue Jiang was at a loss. Since there was no one here, the person must be hiding somewhere else in the restaurant. After all, their people could make sure that the person had not left the restaurant.
"Go find that person, look carefully." Yue Jiang ordered the people he brought with him.
As for Wu Linzhi, her heart was in her throat at this moment. She was sitting right in front of these people, but they couldn't see her. This was too exciting.
Yue Jiang still did not leave, but kept looking at and observing the private room. There were obvious traces of a third person here, but why was that person gone?
Time passed slowly, and soon, people from the two sects searched the place thoroughly, but could not find any trace of Wu Linzhi.
"Brother Yue, we didn't see the woman in green. Could she have really escaped?" The disciple of Yanxia Sect came back to report.
The disciples from the Yunxia Sect also failed to find anyone, so they could only shake their heads at Zhao Ke and Feng Wenshu.
It’s frustrating not being able to find anyone.
"No one? How is that possible? Didn't you say that this woman has been in this room all the time?" Yue Jiang asked angrily.
The disciples of Yanxia Sect who were keeping a close eye on him didn't know what to say for a moment. They were sure that the person had not left, but it was also possible that he had left using means they were not aware of.
"Hey! Have you found it? I told you, the person has left long ago. How long are you going to stay here? Let me tell you, I only let you search because of the relationship between the two sects. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to." Lin Aoxue put down the wine glass heavily, stood up and stared at Yue Jiang with a murderous look on her face.
Yue Jiang felt uneasy when he saw Lin Aoxue's eyes.
"Eh? Junior Sister Lin, what's your attitude? You shouldn't have helped a casual cultivator. Our four sects are of the same blood. Facing something like this, we should be united in hatred of the enemy." Zhao Ke spoke.
"Who are you? Do we know each other well? Is it necessary for you to lecture me here?" After hearing what Zhao Ke said, Lin Aoxue's attitude became even more unfriendly.
"You? Lin Aoxue, don't go too far. Do you think that just because you are the sect master's direct disciple, you can ignore the relationship between the two sects? With your behavior, how can you take on the responsibility of being the sect master in the future?" Zhao Ke started to make a big deal out of it.
But Lin Aoxue didn't buy it.
She couldn't help it, the murderous aura and strength in her body began to seep out, and her eyes became more and more hostile.
When Feng Wenshu saw this scene, he knew that he could not let them continue. If the confrontation continued, Lin Aoxue would definitely take action.
"Okay, okay, Junior Sister Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. Zhao Ke, please stop talking. Fellow Daoist Yue, since the person is not here, let's look for her somewhere else. Maybe this woman has some special means and left." Feng Wenshu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Yue Jiang also knew that there was no point in wasting time here.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, then walked away in a very gloomy manner.
Zhao Ke had no choice but to leave the private room after Feng Wenshu's persuasion.
Lin Aoxue waited until she was sure that they had left before she sat down again.
"I really want to slap those two guys a few times. It's annoying just looking at them." Lin Aoxue complained.
"Oh! I was scared to death. Sister Liuyu's elixir is really magical. They couldn't find me at all. But I didn't expect that Aoxue, you are the young master of Yunxia Sect. But I'm afraid you will be blamed by your elders for offending Yanxia Sect for me." Wu Linzhi spoke, but she is still invisible. After all, she doesn't know whether the other party will come back.
