Very quickly, the Grand Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion, Hua Nongying, personally summoned Ye Yu.
This was the first time Ye Yu had openly entered the main hall of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.
It was also the first time he had truly met the benefactor Bone Lady had spoken of.
Hua Nongying.
Grand Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion, and currently the one in charge of the entire pavilion.
She wore a flowing purple gauze robe, her bearing noble beyond words.
Compared to Bone Lady, she possessed a few more traces of dignified composure.
Compared to Cui Yanshui, she carried a few more hints of mature elegance.
She gave off a beauty entirely her own.
But honestly speaking, Hua Nongying did not look injured at all.
Her complexion was excellent, and her divine power was condensed and abundant.
Were the rumors outside fake?
Thoughts raced through Ye Yu’s mind, but his gaze did not linger on Hua Nongying for too long.
After cupping his hands in greeting, he proactively offered his respects.
Some polite formalities might sound cliché, but they could not simply be omitted.
Hua Nongying, however, clearly had an impatient temperament.
She immediately said,
“For your Cui family to deliver medicinal pills and divine herbs at a time like this, you have shown sincerity.”
“But what I truly wish to know is—what exactly is this information you came to tell me?”
Joy immediately surged through Ye Yu’s heart.
As long as Hua Nongying was interested in this matter, then half his plan had already succeeded.
Thus, Ye Yu did not waste time with unnecessary buildup and directly revealed information about Ling Tai.
During the previous battle at the Cui family, Ling Tai truly had not been Hua Nongying’s opponent.
She had buried him underground and attempted to crush him to death using the power of the earth dragon veins.
Under normal circumstances, he should have died beyond all doubt.
The reason he was still alive and kicking now was because the violent aura within his heart had not yet been fully exhausted.
That was why he had managed to survive by sheer luck.
But that did not mean Ling Tai possessed a truly immortal body.
After all, those violent energies could be depleted.
During the battle with the Cui family, Ling Tai had suffered severe damage. As long as he was killed one more time, he would definitely die.
And when he appeared at the Extreme Moon Pavilion two days earlier, that should originally have been his perfect death sentence.
Unfortunately, a mysterious figure had interfered.
That was the only reason Ling Tai managed to escape disaster again.
However, according to Ye Yu’s analysis, Ling Tai’s next step would definitely be searching for more violent aura to replenish himself.
Wherever remnants of ancient violent aura existed, Ling Tai would appear there.
Ye Yu claimed he had learned all this while Ling Tai was mentally unstable, exchanging candy beans for information.
It was also one of the backup measures Ye Yu had deliberately left for himself.
At the very least, he now knew how Ling Tai could be killed.
After Ye Yu finished speaking, Hua Nongying fell silent for a long while.
She did not ask where Ye Yu had obtained this information from, nor did she question its accuracy.
Instead, she simply said,
“What do you want?”
Ye Yu’s brows lifted slightly.
Dealing with straightforward people truly was comfortable.
He did not even need to raise the topic himself before the other party took the initiative.
Seeing Ye Yu remain silent for a moment, Hua Nongying continued,
“Everything in this world is an exchange of利益.”
“Do not tell me you traveled all this way to deliver information and five divine ships worth of medicinal pills merely out of goodwill.”
“Good. Since Grand Elder Hua speaks so directly, then I won’t hide anything either.”
“That Ling Tai has a mortal grudge against me. I’m worried he’ll come seeking revenge, so I was hoping to stay here for a few days. Would that be acceptable?”
Ye Yu immediately stated his true intentions.
Hua Nongying agreed just as readily and immediately ordered people to arrange accommodations for Ye Yu and his followers.
However, she also stated that the Extreme Moon Pavilion likely did not have the energy to search for Ling Tai anytime soon.
Because the pavilion currently had far more important matters to deal with.
Naturally, Ye Yu knew exactly what Hua Nongying meant by “more important matters.”
It was undoubtedly that mysterious figure.
Which only made Ye Yu even more curious about that person.
What exactly had that fellow taken from the Extreme Moon Pavilion a few days ago?
No matter how much Ye Yu thought about it, he could not figure it out.
Still, he did not dwell on it excessively.
Instead, he peacefully settled into the Extreme Moon Pavilion.
This time, he not only brought Qi Yuan and Cui Yanshui with him—
he also brought over twenty members of the Cui family branches as well.
It could be said that Ye Yu had practically moved the entire Cui family here.
Although doing this was equivalent to walking straight into the tiger’s den and voluntarily entering the territory of the Extreme Moon Pavilion—
there was simply no better option.
After all, that madman Ling Tai not only regarded Ye Yu as his inner demon, but also as the stepping stone for his own advancement.
In Ling Tai’s eyes, only by killing Ye Yu could he eliminate his inner demon and advance further in strength.
That kind of person was a complete lunatic.
Left with no choice, Ye Yu could only make this gamble.
At the same time, he was also betting.
Betting that Ling Tai would take the risk and personally come searching for him.
At that point, as long as Hua Nongying killed Ling Tai, there would still be room to salvage everything.
Ye Yu had a hundred different excuses ready for slipping away afterward.
By then, the Extreme Moon Pavilion’s attention would still be focused on the mysterious figure, so they certainly would not care too much about Ye Yu leaving.
That was the best possible outcome.
But if the Extreme Moon Pavilion resolved the mysterious figure issue while Ling Tai still failed to appear—
then the annexation of the Cui family by the Extreme Moon Pavilion would become inevitable.
No one would be able to stop it.
Unless Cui Yanshui managed to step into the Divine Sovereign Realm during this period.
Of course, the likelihood of that happening was extremely low.
Which was why bringing the Cui family into the Extreme Moon Pavilion was, in essence, a gamble.
Although Cui Yanshui had initially opposed the idea somewhat, she ultimately agreed.
There was no denying that this truly was the optimal solution.
Two days later, after nightfall—
Ye Yu, Qi Yuan, and Cui Yanshui gathered together to discuss their next move.
Cui Yanshui was the first to break the silence.
“How about this? I’ll go search for Ling Tai’s current hiding place. Once I find him, I’ll send you the location. Then you can bring the Grand Elder of the Extreme Moon Pavilion there.”
Ye Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“In my opinion, Hua Nongying has already made her stance very clear.”
“The Extreme Moon Pavilion only wants to kill that mysterious figure right now. Everything else has to wait.”
“Ling Tai deserves death, but they genuinely have no time to bother with him at the moment.”
“If Ling Tai takes the initiative to come here, Hua Nongying wouldn’t mind killing him.”
“But if you expect Hua Nongying to actively search for Ling Tai? That’s absolutely impossible.”
Hearing this, Cui Yanshui frowned tightly.
Yet she could not refute him.
After all, she herself currently lacked the strength to deal with Ling Tai.
Qi Yuan’s expression turned solemn as she softly asked,
“Then all we can do is wait?”
Ye Yu could not help letting out a sigh before replying in a deep voice,
“That’s right. Waiting is our only option now.”
“I just hope Ling Tai sees the letter I left behind and comes here on his own.”
“Otherwise... I truly have no other solution.”
