The teahouse instantly fell into chaos. Other customers avoided the situation and the scene became very chaotic for a time.
Du Yu's strength is indeed extraordinary. His swordsmanship is fierce and accurate, and every sword is filled with murderous intent.
Although Qin Wuyan was brave, he still struggled under Du Yu's stormy offensive.
Yuan Ling and I also joined the battle. Yuan Ling used her Taoist skills, and her aura flashed to resist Du Yu's attack.
I used the Heavenly Master's spells I had mastered to release a series of talismans to compete with Du Yu's sword moves.
However, Du Yu was not alone. Several masters he brought also joined the battle, and we soon fell into a hard fight.
The fighting was so fierce that the tables and chairs in the teahouse were beaten to pieces and sawdust flew into the air.
Although we tried our best, we were outnumbered and gradually tired.
At this critical moment, a powerful aura suddenly poured in from outside, and a figure quickly entered the teahouse.
It was Taoist Master Yun Yang, and his arrival instantly changed the balance of the battlefield.
Taoist Priest Yun Yang's strength was unfathomable. He showed overwhelming power as soon as he took action, forcing Du Yu and his men to temporarily stop the attack.
"Stop!" Taoist Priest Yun Yang's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty, "Dujiang City will not allow you to behave like this!"
Under the suppression of Taoist Priest Yun Yang, Du Yu had to withdraw his offensive, and the atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while.
The arrival of Taoist Priest Yun Yang originally brought a glimmer of hope for reconciliation, but Du Yu's arrogance and provocation made the whole situation tense again.
Not only did he dismiss our protest, he even began to openly mock Taoist Yun Yang.
"Old man Yun, if you can't find out what's going on, why are you pretending to be a good person now? Have you forgotten who owns Du Jiangcheng?" Du Yu's harsh words made the atmosphere in the venue even more solemn.
Taoist Master Yun Yang's face darkened and he was about to respond sternly, but Du Yu didn't give him a chance and continued to sneer: "In the past, we only called you Taoist Master because of your age.
Don't forget, you are just an old dog that our Du family rewards with a few bones.
Don't be too ungrateful, otherwise you won't live long. "
These words made Taoist Master Yun Yang furious. His aura suddenly exploded and he was about to take action against Du Yu.
However, at this critical moment, a more majestic voice sounded, interrupting Taoist Priest Yun Yang's movements.
The owner of the voice was Du Dahai, the elder of the Du family.
I saw Du Dahai slowly walking down the stairs. He was tall and had white hair, but the majesty and intimidation in his eyes could not be matched by anyone.
"Yun Yang, do you still know your position now? If you dare to take action today, you will be the enemy of my Du family."
Facing Du Dahai's pressure, Taoist Priest Yun Yang's expression suddenly changed. He was well aware of Du Dahai's strength and status. He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and shook his head at us, saying that now was not the time to take action.
Then he took a deep breath and left the teahouse slowly but helplessly.
As we watched Taoist Priest Yun Yang leave, we couldn't help but feel complicated in our hearts.
Du Yu looked at us with a proud smile on his lips. Apparently he thought he had won.
He immediately left the teahouse with his men.
We are left with a sense of powerlessness and anger.
Obviously, the power of the Du family is deeply rooted in Dujiang City, and even a figure like Taoist Priest Yun Yang can't fight against them.
And we, even more so, seem extremely small in this struggle for power.
"We can't just give up." Qin Wuyan clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination.
"No matter how powerful the Du family is, one day the truth will be revealed to the world."
Yuan Ling shook her head and said calmly: "Don't be naive, the Du family has obviously determined that we killed Du Yunpeng, and I suspect that they have another plan.
That is to use Du Yunpeng's death to get rid of our Yuan family, and then Dujiang City will be their world.
Therefore, no matter what evidence we find or what we say, the Du family will not believe it. "
After saying that, she walked outside first, and Qin Wuyan and I quickly followed.
Back at Yuan's house, the atmosphere at dinner was obviously heavy.
There were exquisite dishes on the table, but no one seemed in the mood to enjoy them.
Yuan Tingfeng sat at one end of the dining table, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep thought and worry.
"Recently, various industries of the Yuan family have been severely suppressed. I suspect this is Du Changtian's handiwork." Yuan Tingfeng's voice was calm and powerful, and his eyes swept across everyone present.
The air on the dining table seemed to freeze, and everyone could feel the severe situation the Yuan family was currently facing.
Although the Yuan family has considerable influence in Dujiang City, compared with the Du family, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Qin Wuyan clenched his fists, his face showing anger: "This is completely naked bullying! We can't just endure it."
Yuan Ling was calmer, she shook her head gently: "A blind counterattack will only put us into a more disadvantageous situation.
We need a more cautious strategy. "
Yuan Tingfeng looked at us with a sense of confidence in his tone: "Although the Du family is powerful, they cannot easily defeat the Yuan family.
The efforts of several generations of our Yuan family will not be destroyed so easily. "
He paused and continued: "I have begun to deploy a counterattack strategy.
We need more evidence and allies.
Dujiang City does not belong to the Du family, our Yuan family also has our own heritage. "
Although the atmosphere of the dinner was heavy, Yuan Tingfeng's words were like a ray of light, bringing us hope.
A few days later, a heavy atmosphere filled the courtyard of the Yuan family.
Yuan Tingfeng sat in the study, with various documents and reports in front of him, each of which contained news about the suppression and obstacles to the Yuan family's various industries.
The ink spread on the rice paper seems to directly reflect the Yuan family's current predicament.
Yuan Tingfeng's brows were furrowed, and his eyes scanned these reports heavily. Each report was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart.
Qin Wuyan and I stood aside, our expressions were equally serious.
The anger and fighting spirit of that moment a few days ago have now been cooled by the reality in front of me.
"All allies have chosen to remain neutral." Yuan Tingfeng's voice was heavy. "They dare not offend the Du family and are unwilling to get involved in the dispute between us."
Qin Wuyan clenched his fists, anger filling his tone: "This is cowardice! They clearly know that the Du family is making trouble unreasonably."
Yuan Ling stood by the window, with a rare calmness and thoughtfulness in her eyes.
She turned around, looked at us, and said calmly and firmly: "We can't count on others.
In the current situation, we can only rely on ourselves. "
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and a servant hurried into the study, holding an urgent letter in his hand.
"Master, there is new news."
There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
