Everyone looked toward the ground, and sure enough.
Yu Liangping had been frightened out of his wits, and a puddle of liquid appeared beneath him.
Yun Jin immediately looked at him mockingly, "Young Master Yu, there's really no need to be so scared. Don't worry, I didn't plan on killing you."
The justice owed by the Yu Family would be reclaimed by Third Senior Brother himself.
Once Third Senior Brother resolved his bloodline issue, what would make Yu Liangping worthy of being compared to him?
Everything from back then would naturally be taken back by Third Senior Brother personally.
Yu Liangping's lips trembled.
He didn't dare look at others' expressions. There's no need to imagine the scorn on their faces.
He's the young master of the Yu Family! A disciple of Yuehua Sect!
Yet today, he had suffered such a great humiliation!
Yun Jin, this was all because of Yun Jin.
Yu Liangping's expression twisted as he shouted sharply, "Seize these two!"
The Yu Family disciples surrounded them.
Yun Jin casually swept her sword, freezing everyone in place.
The dust from the sword-testing stone was still spread across the ground…
This was a ruthless individual who could even destroy the sword-testing stone.
Even Yu Liangping's senior brother Ma Yuanwu might not be able to do such a thing.
This Yun Jin was really somewhat sinister.
"What are you all standing around for? Attack them! That Yu Songnian is just a waste. No matter how strong this woman is, she's still only one person!" Yu Liangping continued shouting, his eyes full of venom. Just now, he had already used a special method to notify his fellow sect members.
The people from Yuehua Sect would arrive soon. As long as these disciples could delay things for a bit, this Yun Jin was as good as dead!
The Yu Family disciples hesitantly began moving forward.
Yun Jin's expression was calm as she gripped her sword and proactively walked toward them.
Just as the conflict was about to erupt, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Since everyone is here to break the sword domain, why resort to fighting and killing?" A refined-looking middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd.
Behind him followed a beautiful woman dressed in red.
The moment Yu Liangping saw these two, his gaze slightly changed.
He had seen this woman before, she's the sword dao genius of Canglan Kingdom, Feng Linglong.
Then the identity of this man was obvious.
It's very likely that he is Feng Linglong's master, one of the national preceptors of Canglan Kingdom, a Mahayana Stage supreme expert: Qin Ping.
As soon as these two appeared, the corner of Yun Jin's lips curved into a subtle smile.
Just now, the system had reminded her that a powerful expert was secretly observing her.
So she had deliberately put on a display.
This expert indeed couldn't hold back.
"National Preceptor Qin has personally arrived. Why didn't you give advance notice?" Another deep voice sounded, and Mu Lan's figure appeared in front of Qin Ping in an instant.
Qin Ping smiled faintly, "Hasn't Elder Mu also been operating in Lin City for many years without informing the monarch?"
After all, this Lin City was a territory of Canglan Kingdom.
Yuehua Sect joining forces with the Yu Family to turn Lin City into this state was naturally indefensible.
Mu Lan also wasn't embarrassed. He smiled and said, "The National Preceptor misunderstood. Our Yuehua Sect is a cultivation sect. Coming to Lin City is for matters of cultivation. The Yu Family's sword domain is quite interesting, so we've had some extra interactions with the Yu Family."
"Is that so?" Qin Ping asked directly. "Then today we might as well break this sword domain. That way, it will also spare Yuehua Sect the inconvenience of traveling back and forth."
This was openly demanding Yuehua Sect withdraw from Lin City and cease involvement here.
Mu Lan's expression slightly cooled, "The affairs of Yuehua Sect do not require the National Preceptor's commentary. If there are any issues, let the king personally come to Yuehua Sect to discuss it."
There was a trace of disdain in Mu Lan's eyes.
In this world, besides sects, there existed various kingdoms.
These kingdoms initially only governed mortals.
But if a nation was well governed, with peace and prosperity under its rule, and the king was respected by the people, then Qi Luck would naturally gather.
Once Qi Luck gathered, cultivators would naturally emerge within the dynasty.
These cultivators came from mortals, lived among the secular world, and had especially deep feelings toward mortals.
Even after stepping onto the immortal path, they refused to cultivate single-mindedly, remaining obsessed with worldly affairs, constantly claiming to seek benefits for mortals.
Orthodox cultivators looked down upon such people. To them, wasting one's precious lifespan on trivial matters was absolutely not worth it.
The Four Great Holy Lands had even established a rule targeting this phenomenon of dynasty cultivation.
If a king or a dynasty official stepped onto the immortal path, after fifty years, they could no longer manage mortal affairs.
Thus, kings and officials in such dynasties were often replaced every fifty years.
Those who stepped down would focus on cultivation. Though they could no longer interfere in mortal matters, many were unwilling to leave their nation, choosing instead to stay behind. Some formed enforcement teams to manage affairs involving cultivators, demonic cultivators, and other non-mortals.
Since these matters involved cultivators and demonic cultivators, they were not considered mortal affairs and were not bound by the fifty-year restriction.
Others remained within the dynasty, cultivating diligently.
They were fully aware that only if their dynasty's strength increased could they, in a world dominated by sects, fight for more rights for their nation and its people.
The Qin Ping before them was one such supreme talent of Canglan Kingdom.
A thousand years ago, he had been a virtuous prime minister of Canglan Kingdom, deeply loved by the people, possessing great Qi Luck.
After retiring, under the blessing of Qi Luck, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and today he had achieved Mahayana Stage.
Qin Ping might be strong.
But.
He's only one person.
Canglan Kingdom had no more than three Mahayana experts, and Qin Ping was the most presentable among them.
But what about Yuehua Sect?
Just among Mahayana Stage experts alone, they numbered in the double digits, and above them stood the support of Qingxiao Pavilion.
For these mortal kingdoms to oppose sects was simply wishful thinking.
Mu Lan also had an attitude of complete confidence. Nowadays, the strength of various kingdoms had grown somewhat excessive, and Qingxiao Pavilion was already planning to act, harvesting a wave of Qi Luck from the kingdoms.
Yuehua Sect had only dared to openly interfere in Lin City under such circumstances. And Canglan Kingdom, knowing this, hadn't dared to resist for many years.
As for this Qin Ping, he was merely speaking boldly. If they truly went knocking on their doors, would they dare respond?
Seeing Mu Lan's provocative demeanor, Qin Ping merely faintly smiled and said calmly, "Elder Mu, those matters can be discussed later. Today, we should first focus on breaking the sword domain."
"Oh? National Preceptor Qin seems very confident in your own disciple?" Mu Lan smiled
"Linglong has practiced swordsmanship for many years. She can be considered somewhat talented," Qin Ping said calmly.
He knew that Yuehua Sect had prepared for many years here. This time, breaking the sword domain would most likely be Ma Yuanwu's achievement.
Linglong coming here would most probably only serve as a foil for Ma Yuanwu.
But he had no choice.
First, this was Canglan Kingdom. If Yuehua Sect had acted discreetly before, that would've been one thing. But now they were being so high-profile, if Canglan Kingdom made no response at all, wouldn't that be tacitly allowing Yuehua Sect to bully them?
Second, it was inherently more difficult for dynasty cultivators to enter the Four Great Holy Lands. Linglong also needed a chance to make a name for herself. This time, the Yu Family's sword domain was able to make Yuehua Sect mobilize on this scale, it's clearly no simple matter. If Linglong is lucky enough to break the sword domain, her fame would naturally soar, and perhaps a Holy Land would be willing to extend an invitation.
Mu Lan smiled faintly, "Since the National Preceptor is so confident, and since the sword domain is a grand event for all sword cultivators, both the Yu Family and I would naturally welcome you."
Qin Ping smiled, then suddenly pointed at Yun Jin and Yu Songnian, "Since it is a grand event for all sword cultivators, the strength of these two is clearly sufficient. Why not temporarily set aside grudges and work together to break the sword domain?"
Yun Jin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we'll listen to the senior. For the time being, we can choose not to concern ourselves with the Yu Family."
Qin Ping was momentarily taken aback. This little girl picked up the conversation so naturally.
