【Two days later, a tall man in a black robe appeared at Ye Yu’s side.】
【The black robe he wore was a divine artifact that could completely conceal his aura, even hiding his face entirely.】
【The reason for covering him so thoroughly was simple—this person’s identity could not be exposed!】
【That’s right, he was Ling Tai, the Sect Master of the Xuanling Sect!】
【As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.】
【Ye Yu had never given up on something just because of fear!】
【A Divine Sovereign Realm expert—why wouldn’t he take one if he could get it for free!】
【With him following behind, even speaking felt more confident.】
【Of course, that was under the condition that he wasn’t discovered by the people of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.】
【Otherwise, it could very well drag both the Cui family and Xuanji Hall into the abyss.】
【Ye Yu didn’t believe his luck would be that bad.】
【As long as Ling Tai behaved and didn’t wander off, the chances of the Extreme Moon Pavilion discovering him were practically zero!】
【Zero!】
【However, sometimes reality has a way of slapping you in the face faster than expected!】
【Ye Yu had just returned to the Cui family main hall and hadn’t even steadied himself when a divine attendant hurried over to report.】
【“Family Head, there’s a black-robed person outside asking to see you. Uh... dressed about the same as the one behind you, just not as big.”】
【As soon as the divine attendant finished speaking, a light breeze swept through.】
【Immediately after, another figure in the same kind of black robe appeared in front of Ye Yu.】
【This uninvited attitude made Ye Yu quite displeased!】
【But when the man pulled back his hood and revealed his true face, Ye Yu’s heart instantly tightened!】
【Yin Yu, Third Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.】
【Ye Yu was not unfamiliar with this man.】
【In previous dreams, he had dealt with him more than once—and had even nearly been killed by him!】
【If not for an expert stepping in to save him, he would have definitely died at Yin Yu’s hands in that dream!】
【Of course, that expert wasn’t exactly a good person either!】
【After digging out the crystal from his forehead, he had killed him anyway!】
【Tsk, no sense of decency at all!】
【But now was not the time for reminiscing.】
【The most urgent matter was to figure out who Yin Yu had come for.】
【The Cui family—or Ling Tai behind him?】
【“I was not informed of Elder Yin’s visit. Please forgive the lack of proper welcome.”】
【As Ye Yu spoke, he took a step forward, positioning himself directly in front of Ling Tai.】
【He was trying to use this to reduce Ling Tai’s presence as much as possible!】
【But it clearly didn’t work.】
【Yin Yu circled around and came to stand in front of Ling Tai, looking him up and down.】
【Seeing this, Ye Yu began scanning the surroundings with his divine sense.】
【From what he knew in the dream, Yin Yu was at the mid to late stage of the Divine Lord Realm—】
【Not the Divine Sovereign Realm.】
【If he really discovered Ling Tai’s identity and had come alone, Ye Yu wouldn’t mind killing him right here.】
【There was only one principle—Ling Tai’s presence in the Cui family could never be exposed.】
【Otherwise, a lot of people would die!】
【Ling Tai was also starting to feel uneasy under Yin Yu’s gaze!】
【He immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Yu, “Big brother, he keeps staring at me... can I kill him?”】
【Just as Ye Yu was struggling with how to respond, Yin Yu spoke first.】
【“Copying me? What gives you the right to wear the same thing as me? Get out.”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu was instantly overjoyed.】
【It seemed he didn’t know Ling Tai’s identity.】
【Good, good!】
【Ye Yu immediately chimed in, “Exactly. What gives you the right? How dare you wear the same thing as an elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion? Get outside and stand there. Don’t move without my order!”】
【Ling Tai’s breathing became heavy as violent energy surged wildly within him.】
【He was extremely displeased with Yin Yu’s tone and wanted nothing more than to tear him apart.】
【Seeing that Ling Tai’s state was off, Ye Yu kicked him directly.】
【“If I told you to go, then go! Don’t you want any candy beans?”】
【Candy beans were Ling Tai’s favorite food—without question.】
【Every time Ye Yu brought them out, he would immediately become obedient.】
【So the moment he heard the words “candy beans,” Ling Tai calmed down and silently walked outside.】
【Yin Yu casually set up a soundproof barrier.】
【Then, without any preamble, he stated the purpose of his visit.】
【“You may be an outsider, but you are in charge of the entire Cui family. It’s time to choose a side. Submit to the Extreme Moon Pavilion—or cooperate with me. Choose one.”】
【Yin Yu was far more talkative than before.】
【And his way of speaking had improved significantly.】
【By using the words “submit” and “cooperate,” he subtly guided the choice before it was even made.】
【After all, those who stood in the God Realm were all exceptional talents.】
【Unless they had no other option, who would choose to submit?】
【In contrast, cooperation was far more acceptable.】
【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and feigned confusion. “I’m afraid I don’t quite understand what you mean, Elder.”】
【Yin Yu smiled immediately.】
【“This should be our first meeting, correct? Yet you were able to identify me precisely. That alone proves you’ve investigated the Extreme Moon Pavilion.”】
【“As for why you did that... I don’t think I need to explain.”】
【“Before Cui Sheng died, he sent a message to the Extreme Moon Pavilion, claiming that your Cui family had already agreed to merge into the Pavilion. That’s why a team of over a hundred people came here afterward.”】
【“Speaking of which, their deaths have quite a lot to do with your Cui family.”】
【“When the Xuanling Sect arrived, you all fled—causing the Extreme Moon Pavilion to lose over a hundred lives.”】
【“Tell me, how should this matter be handled?”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu understood—】
【The thing he had feared most had still come to pass.】
【There were no fools in the Extreme Moon Pavilion.】
【Someone was bound to come and hold them accountable—it was just that no one expected it to happen so quickly!】
【And without any prior notice, giving him no time to prepare!】
【Fortunately, although Yin Yu kept talking about accountability, he clearly had no intention of actually pursuing it.】
【Otherwise, he wouldn’t be standing here wasting time talking to him.】
【Ye Yu said softly, “Please, Elder Yin, show me a path forward.”】
【Seeing how receptive Ye Yu was, Yin Yu immediately laid everything out.】
【With the destruction of the Xuanling Sect and the reemergence of the Cui family, the Extreme Moon Pavilion had once again set its sights on absorbing them.】
【After all, while the Cui family’s strength had declined, the resources they possessed were still immense.】
【Absorbing them would mean taking in a vast amount of resources.】
【Naturally, that was extremely worthwhile.】
【However, with Cui Sheng dead, the Pavilion had no choice but to send someone else to negotiate this matter.】
【That person was Yin Yu.】
【In other words, Yin Yu had come to take over the Cui family.】
【But he didn’t want to do it for the sake of the entire Extreme Moon Pavilion—he wanted the Cui family under his own control, to monopolize this massive wealth of resources for himself.】
