"Yuwen family?"
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly and he said, "I guess I know a little bit about it."
"Fellow Taoist, you should know that over the years, the Yuwen family has been domineering, oppressing monks from both places including us, and acting arrogantly."
There was a trace of gloom in the old man's expression:
"The bad disciples and I were practicing in Kongqingchuan, but we couldn't stand the oppression of the Yuwen family, so we had to leave and find another place."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Yao was quite surprised when he heard this:
"The Yuwen family on Wuyin Island, the reclusive monks who bully Tiandu Mountain and Kong Qingchuan? This..."
He really didn't expect that in just a few decades, such changes would occur in the world of immortal cultivation in the Lu Kingdom.
Is there really a master in the Yuwen family who doesn't want to go north to Weiguo and Cangguo, but is dominating the world of immortality in the small Lu Kingdom?
No future?
Lost your mind?
"Is it possible that Fellow Taoist is not aware of this matter?"
The old man looked at Zhang Yao, as if he didn't know what the Yuwen family was doing, and was a little confused.
"My Taoist friends don't know that I like to live alone. I have been living in seclusion here at the Spiritual Spring for decades..."
Zhang Yao opened his mouth to explain.
"I see……"
The old man showed a hint of surprise, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Then let me explain this matter for fellow Taoist."
"This matter started more than thirty years ago..."
As the old man narrated, Zhang Yao slowly understood.
It turned out that not long after he left Tiandu Mountain, a monk from the Yuwen family on Wuyin Island, 'Yu Wenhua', also broke through to the middle stage of Qi refining.
After Yu Wenhua's breakthrough, perhaps because he couldn't let go of his descendants, he did not go north and left, but chose to stay in the Lu Kingdom.
Since then, the situation in the immortal world of Lu has changed.
The disaster of Kirigakure Island that year, although the Yuwen family won a complete victory by raising the flag to protect the island, it really left a shadow on them, so that for decades they did not dare to leave the island for fear of being attacked.
After Yu Wenhua broke through the middle stage of Qi refining and took control of the high-level magic weapon left by Mrs. Liu, he left Wuyin Island directly to seek revenge.
Years passed:
Most of the survivors who participated in the Battle of Hidden Mist Island left the Lu Kingdom, except for the two older monks who were killed by Yu Wenhua.
After completing his revenge, he made a high-profile announcement, asking the monks in Tiandu Mountain and Kong Qingchuan to pay them regular tributes of spiritual grass, spiritual rice and other materials, and also to dispatch manpower to help them take care of the spiritual fields on Wuyin Island.
Due to Yu Wenhua's tyrannical strength, the monks in the two major spiritual areas were indeed unable to resist. They could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and have been bullied by them to this day.
"The Yuwen family is really too domineering, leaving no way for people to survive..."
The young man on the side also interjected, with a look of frustration and anger on his face.
A noble and otherworldly cultivator was reduced to a slave under the oppression of the Yuwen family. How could anyone tolerate this?
Today, there are less than ten Qi Refining cultivators in the two major spiritual areas. Many people have fled Tiandu Mountain and Kong Qingchuan, choosing to take the risk of going north through the desolate belt.
The old man and the young man in front of me were those who went to Kirigakure Island to 'do corvee service' and then returned to Kong Qingchuan Spirit Vein to pack up their things and escape.
It was just that the young man had just entered the Immortal Sect, and the old man did not dare to take him north, so he came to Yunzhou in the south to find the place of spiritual spring recorded in the sect's classics.
"This is really..."
After Zhang Yao listened to their stories, he shook his head and said:
"There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king."
With Yu Wenhua's cultivation level, he could only be a spiritual farmer when he went to Weiguo, and he had no status at all.
But it was a bit funny for such a person to be able to rely on his own strength to dominate the world of immortal cultivation in the Lu Kingdom.
"Hey, who says it isn't?"
When the old man heard Zhang Yao's words, he also deeply agreed.
In the past few decades, there have been immortal cultivators who have broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining, but they all chose to go north and leave because they did not have powerful magical weapons and did not dare to confront Yu Wenhua.
So much so that Yu Wenhua, who was in the middle stage of Qi refining, had dominated the world of immortal cultivation in the Lu Kingdom for decades, and no one could control him.
"Two fellow Taoists..."
Zhang Yao opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and turned to look at the sky.
"Um?"
The old man opposite was startled for a moment, still a little confused.
But in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed and he stood up in panic.
"boom!"
A stream of light fell from the sky, violently tore apart the surrounding driving formation, and fell straight into the small courtyard.
After the light dissipated, a young man was revealed who was wielding a flying sword. He was wearing a bright yellow python robe and his expression was indifferent.
"Run? Let me see where you run!"
"Without the approval of my Yuwen family, you dare to escape from Kong Qingchuan privately and resist the law. How brave you are!"
His eyes were cold, staring at the old man and the young man, making their faces turn slightly pale.
"Damn it! They bastards, they actually betrayed me..."
At this moment, the old man felt regretful and anxious:
Before the two masters and apprentices fled from Kong Qingchuan, three remaining comrades saw them off. During the parting words, he mentioned in passing that he was going to try to find a place of spiritual springs to avoid the Yuwen family. Oppress.
He didn't think much about it at the time, subconsciously thinking that everyone had the same problem and would definitely keep it a secret from him.
Unexpectedly, when the Yuwen family found out that the master and apprentice had escaped and launched an investigation, they would leak the news.
If not, how could the monks of the Yuwen family pursue him so quickly? Let him be in trouble.
"My lord, there is a misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding..."
The old man forced a smile on his face and quickly explained:
"I'm just here with my apprentice to visit friends, not..."
"Um?"
Only then did the young man from the Yuwen family notice Zhang Yao beside him, and then saw the spiritual field opened next to the cabin, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"I can't believe that there is a Qi Refining monk hidden here, and there is also a spiritual field."
"Well, these spiritual grasses are growing well. They seem to have been carefully cared for..."
He rolled his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Yao at the side, and said unceremoniously:
"Whether you are a commoner or a Qi-refining monk, since you are in the Lu country, you must be under the control of my Yuwen family."
"Seeing that you are good at taking care of the spiritual field, I will give you special permission to practice here, but when the spiritual grass matures, you have to pay 70% to send it to Kirigakure Island!"
After hearing what the monk from the Yuwen family said, the old man complained secretly, feeling that he had caused Zhang Yao to be harmed.
He was cultivating here well, but because of his visit, he was targeted by the Yuwen family. It was an unforeseen disaster.
The young man beside him turned red, clenched his fists, but did not dare to say a word.
"……what are you?"
Zhang Yao finally spoke slowly and said calmly:
"I have lived here for decades. I opened the spiritual field myself and cultivated the spiritual grass myself."
"You asked me to hand over 70% of the money as soon as you opened your mouth. How could you be so brave?"
