Chapter 123 The Choice of Yan Family Fortress

Chapter 124 The Choice of Yan Family Fortress

"We should be able to gather all the materials within a year."

After reading the contents of the jade slip, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's beautiful face turned ashen, as if stained with ink, yet she had no choice but to suppress her killing intent and said coldly.

"A year won't do, that's too long. Who knows what might happen along the way? A month at most."

Upon hearing the time required, Lin Yue shook his head and refused.

"A month? You should find someone else, fellow Daoist! As for my son's life, if anything happens to him, all seven sects will surely perish with him, and you will also be hunted down by our sect until you die."

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife sneered and uttered harsh words, seemingly disregarding Wang Chan's life completely.

This made Wang Chan's face even paler, but she didn't utter any words of pleading for help, showing a rather proud spirit.

"Alright, since that's the case, then Young Master Wang Chan will have to go first, and Madam will accompany him later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then gave a cold laugh, his tone devoid of emotion, chilling and terrifying, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Wait, half a year, at the fastest it will take half a year. The materials you need, fellow Daoist, are far too numerous in spirit stones. Even though I am the wife of the Ghost Spirit Sect Master, it is not an easy task for me to collect them all."

Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife's face, which had been as cold as ice for millennia, softened, and she quickly spoke.

No matter what, Wang Chan is still her child, especially after Lin Yue's last sentence, which made her feel worried.

Even now, she still can't see through Lin Yue, and can't even sense whether Lin Yue exists. She only had this terrifying feeling when she was in the Foundation Establishment stage and facing the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang family.

She is now a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Lin Yue still gives her this feeling. Coupled with what happened in the room earlier, even if it was due to his cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, this proves that Lin Yue's strength far surpasses hers.

Therefore, it is not impossible to kill her. She may not care about Wang Chan's life, but she cannot ignore her own.

Even though the possibility was slim, it still gave her a great sense of danger.

Therefore, the wife of the Ghost Spirit Sect Master chose to compromise.

"Three months, Madam wouldn't want to be separated from Young Master Wang Chan and his son for too long, would she?"

Seeing this, Lin Yue's face showed a triumphant smile, and he held up three fingers.

"Three months, good, I will do my best. However, I will trouble you to take care of Chan'er."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife glanced at Wang Chanzhen with her beautiful eyes, which held a complex and mysterious look, and nodded slightly in agreement, her expression full of anticipation.

"Thank you, Madam. As for Young Master Wang Chan, please rest assured. I will take good care of him and ensure he is not in any danger. However, I also hope that Madam will keep her promise."

Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

"Very well, thank you, fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave now."

Faced with Lin Yue's somewhat intense gaze, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife was unwilling to stay a moment longer and immediately took her leave.

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light carrying demonic energy and disappeared.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, turned to look at Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and smiled.

"What a pity. I thought I could cultivate together with your mother and advance further. That way, we could be considered to have some connection."

.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, stared at Lin Yue with bloodshot eyes and a fierce rage, as if he wanted to devour him alive, but he dared not utter a sound or utter any harsh words.

"Don't look at me like that, because you're asking for it."

"Snapped!"

Lin Yue's tone suddenly froze, and then he slapped out, sending Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, flying.

"Although I promised not to take your life, if there is a next time, even if you lose an arm or a leg, I believe your mother wouldn't care."

Lin Yue glanced at Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, who was rolling on the ground, and chuckled.

After saying that, he began to remove the formation one by one and took him back to Yan Family Fort.

However, it was only after confirming that the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife had left that they returned to Yan Family Fort.

With Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, gone and Yan Ruyan missing, the Yan Family Fortress is naturally of little use to the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Therefore, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife only asked Yan Family Fort to provide some materials as compensation before leaving the Ghost Spirit Sect.

They showed no intention of taking him away. After learning that Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, had been captured, the higher-ups of the Yan Family Fortress looked extremely displeased. Faced with the threat from the Ghost Spirit Sect's mistress, they had no choice but to agree.

Most importantly, the Nascent Soul cultivator who captured Wang Chan, the young sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and Yan Ruyan must have been the same person.

In this situation, Yanjiabao's predicament becomes much more difficult.

In the council hall of Feiyun Pavilion, the old patriarch of the Yan family fortress, with his full head of red hair, looked extremely worried. Apart from him, the only other person in the hall was the middle-aged scholar Xuan Ye.

"Xuan Ye, what should we do now?"

The patriarch of Yan Family Fortress once again questioned the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Xuan Ye.

"Ancestor, there's no other way at the moment. We can only take it one step at a time and wait for that Nascent Soul senior who took Ruyan and the young sect master of the Ghost Spirit Sect to arrive. As for what will happen to the family, I can't guarantee anything. We can only let nature take its course. Now the Ghost Spirit Sect has no intention of recruiting the family at all. If the Seven Sects knew what's going on, they would be lucky if they didn't personally send someone to wipe out the entire family, let alone protect and help it."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, Xuan Ye, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If you are weaker than others, no method or means will be of any use.

"Have all the core members of the family left?"

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of Yan Family Fortress pressed for another important question.

This way, at least some of the bloodline can be preserved.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, they have all evacuated the family and gone to the Purple Gold Kingdom."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, Xuan Ye, nodded.

This is a last resort, and it is also the most common way for cultivation families to preserve their bloodline.

"That's good. Now we just wait for that unknown Nascent Soul stage senior."

The old patriarch of Yan Family Fort breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded.

"I just don't know if our Yan Family Fortress has offended this person, why would they do this? Not only did they take Ruyan away, but they also captured the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect and even killed the two Li brothers of the Ghost Spirit Sect."

"Whether we've offended them or not, we can only wait and see. Our life or death depends entirely on that senior's intentions."

The old patriarch of Yan Family Fort sighed and shook his head.

"The ancestor is absolutely right."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar, Xuan Ye, smiled bitterly.

It's impossible for the entire Yan Family Fortress to leave the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom now. Doing so would only provoke them. Moreover, with Yan Ruyan still in their hands, it's even more impossible for them to leave.

At the same time, they also wanted to figure out what was going on.

Just as the two were discussing the impending fate of Yan Family Fortress, a manager from Yan Family Fortress walked in.

"Reporting to Ancestor, Miss Ruyan has returned, but she is accompanied by a distinguished guest."

"Distinguished guests, please invite them in!"

Upon hearing the words "distinguished guest," the patriarch of Yan Family Fortress and the middle-aged scholar Xuan Ye exchanged a glance and guessed who it was, then gave their instructions.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, the steward of Yanjiabao then brought up the main hall.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yan Ruyan, her cheeks flushed, was embraced by Lin Yue and stepped into the hall.

Seeing this, the old patriarch of Yan Family Fortress and the middle-aged scholar Xuan Ye both turned slightly dark-skinned, but they still stood up and said respectfully.

"Greetings, senior. May I ask if our Yan family has offended you in any way by doing all this?"

"Not really, it was just a coincidence. Also, Ruyan's spiritual root and physique are quite suitable for cultivating with me. Of course, don't worry, we won't cultivate together until Ruyan has reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

Lin Yue's smile remained unchanged as he unceremoniously embraced Yan Ruyan, whose face was flushed with shyness, and sat her down on a chair in the hall.

Upon hearing this answer, the old patriarch of Yan Family Fort forced a smile.

"It is truly an honor for Ruyan."

"I will not interfere in the matter between Yan Family Fortress and Ghost Spirit Sect. As for the Seven Sects, they will not know about this matter. Fellow Daoist Yan, please rest assured."

Seeing this, Lin Yue said something that put the Yan family patriarch at ease.

"Thank you very much, senior. I hope you will treat Ruyan well in the future. Please feel free to ask if you have any requests."

The patriarch of Yanjiabao breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands in thanks.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, there's no need to be so polite. I just need your help to collect some materials and spiritual herbs. This shouldn't be a difficult task for a noble like you."

Lin Yue then took the opportunity to propose conditions.

"Of course, senior, please give your instructions. As long as it is available in the clan, senior, please feel free to use it."

77

The patriarch of Yan Family Fort agreed without hesitation.

Once the matter of colluding with the Ghost Spirit Sect is exposed to the Seven Sects, the fate of Yan Family Fortress is predictable.

With their weaknesses in the enemy's hands, Yan Family Fort had no choice but to accept their fate and admit defeat.

"Here is the list of materials and medicinal herbs. Fellow Daoist Yan, please take a look!"

Lin Yue took out a cyan jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to the patriarch of the Yan Family Fortress, saying...

"This junior obeys."

Upon seeing this, the patriarch of Yan Family Fort quickly took the jade slip and began to examine it.

To his surprise, it was exactly what the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's wife had requested, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to be within his expectations.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Yan. After the treasure hunt, I hope you can hand it over to me."

Lin Yue nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, and said.

"I understand, senior, please rest assured."

97

The patriarch of Yan Family Fort respectfully agreed.

"Alright, I don't have anything else to do. Let Ruyan show me around the castle."

Lin Yue stood up and smiled.

"Alright, please go ahead, senior."

The patriarch of Yan Family Fortress would naturally not refuse, since Yan Ruyan was currently in his arms, how could he dare to refuse?

"Okay! Ruyan, let's go!"

Lin Yue put his arm around Yan Ruyan and left the hall.

They came quickly and left quickly, allowing the Yan Family Fortress Patriarch and the middle-aged Confucian scholar Xuan Ye to exchange a glance before both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that our Yan Family Fortress will be under this man's control from now on. Hopefully, he will treat Ruyan well!"

"Hmm! That's the only way. How many of those materials does the Spirit Herb Family have? If the quantity is too small and this person is dissatisfied, it will be troublesome."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar Xuan Ye nodded and then inquired about the important matter.

There is nothing more important right now than this.

"There's still quite a bit left; that should satisfy this person."

The old patriarch of Yan Family Fort nodded.

That's good.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar Xuan Ye was somewhat relieved.

"But what is this person's background? I know many Nascent Soul stage seniors in the Tiannan cultivation world, but I have never heard of this person before."

"No matter what this senior's background is, he is not someone our Yan family can afford to offend."

The old patriarch of Yan Family Fort smiled bitterly.

The Yan Family Fortress simply cannot afford to provoke, nor can it afford to provoke, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At the same time, Lin Yue also learned about the general situation of Yan Family Fort through Yan Ruyan's introduction.

The entire Yan Family Fortress has a population of over 100,000. However, only a small portion of them possess spiritual roots and can cultivate magic; the majority are ordinary mortals.

These mortals, who should have lived in the secular world, included some who had no spiritual roots but whose bloodline still came from the Yan family, and others who were relatives of Yan family disciples. After all, it was not appropriate for the Yan family to only intermarry among their relatives. Only by appropriately absorbing some new blood could the Yan family continue to grow stronger.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, these mortals who enter Yanling Fortress can never leave the city again in their entire lives; they can only live, grow old, get sick, and die there. Although they will never have to worry about food and clothing again, it is still an extremely sad thing.

Those newcomers who moved in from outside were alright, as they had at least seen the dazzling world outside. But those who were born in the fortress and had no spiritual roots never even had the chance to catch a glimpse of the outside world.

However, when ordinary people first entered this fortress, none of them were forced! They were all driven to desperation, or they were deeply indebted to the Yan family and entered willingly. Furthermore, Yanling Fortress is heavily guarded, protected by array formations, and any ordinary person who leaves the fortress without permission is immediately executed. Therefore, to this day, no ordinary person has ever been known to have successfully escaped from this place.

After introducing the situation of Yan Family Fortress, Yan Ruyan and Lin Yue went to a private room in a teahouse.

Although she was in Lin Yue's arms, Yan Ruyan felt not only shyness as a young woman, but also uncertainty about the future.

"Senior, do you think the seven sects can defeat the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom this time?"

Yan Ruyan asked an important question.

"We can't win; defeat is inevitable. The gap is simply too large. The Ghost Spirit Sect alone is comparable to the combined strength of the seven sects. Under these circumstances, how could the seven sects possibly win? But if we can get help from other countries, it shouldn't be a problem to hold out for a little longer."

Although Lin Yue was somewhat surprised by Yan Ruyan's questions, he still answered them one by one.

"Then why did you help the seven sects, senior? Didn't you say you weren't a Nascent Soul cultivator from any of the seven sects?"

Yan Ruyan asked, puzzled.

"How did you come to the conclusion that you're helping the Seven Factions?"

Lin Yue chuckled.

"Isn't everything you're doing now helping the Seven Sects?"

Yan Ruyan smiled and said.

"I have some connections with the Seven Sects, so I naturally wouldn't mind lending a hand if I could. Besides, I do need some materials, and what I'm doing now is just a coincidence. It can't really be considered helping."

Lin Yue shook his head and said.

"If the Yan family were to pledge allegiance to you, senior, would you be willing to protect them?"

Yan Ruyan asked an extremely important question.
