Chapter 204: I'll Spill Some Dirt Too!

With Hu Yanyong protecting him, Ye Yuan felt free to focus on refining the medicinal power.

As for the verbal sparring between Su Yubai and Hu Yanyong, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

In the world of martial artists, it was never about words; it was about strength!

Now that Hu Yanyong had broken through to the Condensation Crystal realm, Su Yubai's bluster was useless.

Even for a sect, a Condensation Crystal realm martial artist was not a pawn to be discarded lightly. Even if the Su family took the complaint to the sect, the sect wouldn't do anything to Hu Yanyong just because of one word from the Su family.

In the Youyun Sect, Condensation Crystal realm martial artists, though not exceptional, were the backbone of the sect!

Casually discarding a Condensation Crystal realm martial artist was undoubtedly an act of self-mutilation.

Unless the crime was heinous, the Youyun Sect would never do such a thing.

Moreover, Hu Yanyong was younger than Wan Donghai and even Ye Hang. Breaking into the Condensation Crystal realm at this age meant his future was undoubtedly very bright.

The sect couldn't ignore that.

As for the struggle for imperial power in the secular world, it was a trivial matter to the sect. No matter who became emperor, they wouldn't shortchange the sect's taxes.

"Stop!" Su Yulin forced Ye Hang back with a palm strike and roared.

Hu Yanyong's unexpected appearance made the entire situation delicate. Su Yulin could no longer afford to tangle with Ye Hang.

Worried about Ye Yuan's safety, Ye Hang naturally didn't want to prolong the fight. He leaped over to Ye Yuan in one bound.

Seeing Ye Yuan sitting in meditation to recover, his complexion gradually turning from pale to rosy, a great weight lifted from his heart.

Su Yulin's expression was grim. He stared at Hu Yanyong and said coldly, "Did you just say that you're only here to protect your student Ye Yuan?"

"That's right!" Hu Yanyong didn't deny it.

"Does that mean that as long as we don't lay a hand on Ye Yuan, you won't interfere in today's affairs?" Su Yulin's gaze burned as he fixed his eyes on Hu Yanyong.

"That's about it," Hu Yanyong said after a moment's thought.

"Very well. You can take Ye Yuan and leave now! Ye Hang, if you don't meddle in today's affairs, you can leave too! From now on, you can continue running your Medicine Fragrance Pavilion in the imperial city, and I will never make things difficult for you!" Su Yulin said something that shocked everyone.

Wan Donghai's face changed dramatically upon hearing this. He quickly said, "Brother Yulin..."

He was about to speak, but Su Yulin stopped him.

"Brother Donghai, these are extraordinary times, and we must use extraordinary measures! Once we take down the Nanfeng family, can Ye Hang still stand against our combined forces?" Su Yulin transmitted his voice.

Though Wan Donghai had reservations after hearing this, he still gave up.

Ye Hang didn't say anything, but Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing couldn't stand still.

"Master Ye, don't fall for Su Yulin's trick! This is a delaying tactic. If the Nanfeng family falls, they will definitely not let you off!" Nanfeng Ruoqing said urgently.

"Brother Ye Hang, we've dealt with each other for so many years. Don't fall for such a low-level provocation!" Nanfeng Lou also said.

Su Yulin sneered, "Is that so? Brother Ye Hang, how much effort have you put in for the Nanfeng family over the years? And what have they given you in return? What can they give you?"

"Master Ye, don't listen to Su Yulin's nonsense! He thinks he has victory in his grasp, but he doesn't know that the emperor has long been prepared. The emperor has gone to get reinforcements. Once they arrive, Su Yulin will surely die without a burial place!" Nanfeng Ruoqing said.

"Hahaha... Your Highness, the reinforcements you speak of, are they the Great Qin Dragon Guards?" Su Yulin burst into wild laughter.

Nanfeng Ruoqing's expression changed upon hearing this!

The Great Qin Dragon Guards were top secret. How did Su Yulin know about them?

"Your Highness, are you wondering how I know about the Great Qin Dragon Guards? Nanfeng Yi secretly trained a force to deal with me. This force consists of two hundred men, each with the cultivation of the Spirit Liquid realm! Truly a force powerful enough to drive one to despair!" Su Yulin's sigh was full of sarcasm, and Nanfeng Ruoqing's heart sank to the bottom.

A force of two hundred Spirit Liquid realm martial artists was enough to kill Su Yulin instantly!

Yet, this secret weapon had been discovered by Su Yulin in advance. What would be the consequences?

"You... how do you know so clearly?" Nanfeng Ruoqing's face turned pale.

"Heh, what's so difficult about that? This force has two hundred men. Is it strange that one or two of them are my people?" Su Yulin said smugly.

Nanfeng Ruoqing's face turned ashen. "You... you didn't..."

"That's right. The two hundred Great Qin Dragon Guards are now the Great Qin Death Guards! Just yesterday, my Su family's death squads surrounded Dragon Mountain and caught them like turtles in a jar! They used five seven-stringed crossbows to block the Great Qin Dragon Guards. Do you think they still have any hope of survival?" Su Yulin said.

Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing fell into despair upon hearing this.

This was their last trump card. If even this final card was completely wiped out, the Nanfeng family was truly finished!

Moreover, they didn't think Su Yulin was lying to them. The existence of the Great Qin Dragon Guards was a top secret within the royal family, not even known to Nanfeng Zhirou.

The reason a trump card was a trump card was that others didn't know about it. But now that Su Yulin knew, how could he let the Great Qin Dragon Guards off?

"Since things have come to this, let me make your despair even more complete!" Su Yulin's words were filled with glee.

Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing exchanged glances, their faces deathly pale, because they both thought of what Su Yulin meant!

Nanfeng Yi!

Since Su Yulin already knew about the existence of the Great Qin Dragon Guards, how could he not target Nanfeng Yi?

"Impossible! The emperor is a Condensation Crystal realm expert, and you're here. Who did you send to kill him?"

"Hehe, that's why I said let your despair be even more complete! Over the years, my second brother and I have been the ones managing the Su family. Haven't you heard news of my eldest brother for far too long?" Su Yulin sneered.

Nanfeng Ruoqing had no reaction, but Nanfeng Lou shuddered and said incredulously, "Su Yusen? How is that possible? Wasn't he... wasn't he long dead?"

"That's right, he did die. But he died for the Nanfeng family to see! Before my eldest brother faked his death, he had already broken through to the second layer of Condensation Crystal, but no one knew! Now, more than ten years have passed, and he has broken through to the third layer of Condensation Crystal. He went to kill Nanfeng Yi. Do you think he has any chance of survival? Hahaha..." The more Su Yulin spoke, the more pleased he became, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hearing such terrible news, Nanfeng Ruoqing staggered and nearly fell, but someone caught her.

"Teacher, be careful. It's not yet time for despair." Ye Yuan smiled at Nanfeng Ruoqing. He had already recovered.

After speaking, Ye Yuan smiled at Su Yulin and said, "Since Patriarch Su is so happy, I'll spill some dirt too. Su Yishan was indeed killed by my own hand in the Boundless Forest! I wonder, Patriarch Su, upon hearing this news, do you still want to let me go?"
