With such a huge disparity in strength, why would the Zhang Family want to annex the Yu family?

This doesn’t make any sense.

Yu Xi stealthily glanced at Han Yi.most afraid that after revealing everything, the other party would retreat due to the difficulty. For the Yu family, this would be pouring oil on the fire.

However, this was something they had to face sooner or later. If they didn’t explain it in advance, the other party might resent the Yu Family if they encountered danger, which would be even worse.

But what puzzled her was that the tall, thin cultivator holding the golden knife just stood there, frowning and pondering.

It took him less than three breaths.

The other party then snapped out of his thoughts.

“One month and ten thousand Spirit Stones, just to protect your safety?”

Yu Xi nodded her head, feeling a sudden nervousness in her heart, and stared closely at Han Yi with her beautiful eyes.

In fact, the only one of the Yu family who could move around was her, so protecting her safety was tantamount to fighting against the entire Zhang Family.

The Yu family wasn’t full of fools with money, and this money wasn’t easy to take.

Furthermore.

Before this, the Yu family had tried to seek help in the Tian Nan Immortal City and nearby cities from other families or sects, but their efforts were blocked. Yu Xi suspected that the Tuoba brothers were responsible, but they lacked tangible evidence.

Still, she hadn’t given up and had visited the nearby cities and even traversed the southern parts of Yu State, but she eventually came up empty-handed.

Those who could afford to help were out of their league, and those they could afford didn’t dare or think it was worth it.

So…

The Yu family focused their attention on Daqian, and ultimately chose the rising Xuandan Sect.

Seven years ago, the Sect Master of Xuandan Sect appeared out of nowhere and seriously injured the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Daqian Southern Dipper Divine Palace, shocking the world. The Yu family obtained intelligence that the Sect Master was also not weak among True Monarchs, allowing the Southern Dipper Divine Palace to go for years without laying a hand on Xuandan Sect.

Moreover, as the newest Nascent Soul Great Sect, Xuandan Sect was determined to develop, and they had a high demand for Spirit Stones.

Powerful, ambitious, and short of Spirit Stones, this was the label the Yu family had put on Xuandan Sect.

Upon deciding on the Profound Immortal Pavilion, the Yu family spared no cost and even went ahead at a loss to throw themselves into the plan.

The Yu family’s ultimate goal was to seek shelter under the protection of Yuan Shun’s powerful name.

Even if the Golden Core cultivators of Profound Immortal Pavilion perished here, the sect master of Xuandan Sect might still take a trip to Tian Nan Immortal City.

By that time, within the Daqin Empire, the Yu family’s backing would have become a Nascent Soul Great Sect.

If they knew that Yuan Shun had disappeared, and that the current Xuandan Sect was no more than flying a false flag, and had no Real Monarch overseeing them, who knows what they would think.

However…

At this moment…

As Han Yi looked at the money, the other party looked at the people, and the two parties hit it off almost instantly.

After all, Han Yi finally nodded his head and agreed because the other party was really offering too much.

“I agree.”

Han Yi handed the Qiankun Ring to Yu Xi, then said solemnly, “Since I agreed to protect you.”

“Then I have the right to know, what the Yu family will do next, what dangers they may face, and what are the causes and consequences of the Yu family’s purchase of this batch of cultivation resources?”

Since he had taken the money, it was only natural for Han Yi to fulfill his duties, to understand the whole story and what needed to be done, and to know what dangers there were, in order to protect himself.

Yu Xi hesitated for a moment, but still revealed the aftermath of the conflict between the Yu family and the Zhang family.

Her face turned ugly, showing a sense of indignation as she slowly recounted.

“A year ago, the Supreme Pavilion had a downstream business deal, which my Yu family snapped up. The resources involved in the deal turned out to be the ones that the Yu family purchased from Profound Immortal Pavilion.”

“However, after that, Zhang Tu from the Zhang family suddenly came to our doorstep, asking to become Dao companions with my sister Yu Ling. But my sister is a student of Guanxuan Academy and only met Zhang Tu once recently, so naturally, there were no feelings between them. My Yu family also has no tradition of selling daughters for glory, so we drove him out.”

As she said this, Yu Xi’s face turned livid, her eyes filled with rage.

“I never expected that the people of the Zhang family would be so domineering. In order to force our Yu family into submission, they went so far as to quietly hinder us from all sides, forcing all of the Yu family’s downstream suppliers to not dare to do business with us, isolating the Yu family.”

“With the deal between the Yu family and the Supreme Pavilion drawing near, our family had no choice but to take a detour, crossing over the Evil Mountain Range and heading to Daqian to seek a lifeline.”

“This is the cause.”

Han Yi frowned and shook his head.

“The Zhang family’s goal is just to force your sister to marry Zhang Tu?”

“This is simply absurd.”

Since Han Yi’s arrival, he had never heard of anyone forcing female cultivators to become Dao companions. Zhang Tu, being a true disciple of the Jiuding Sect, could have chosen any Dao companion he wanted, yet he insisted on having Yu Xi’s sister, whom he had only seen once, become his Dao companion.

Yu Xi gritted her teeth.

“Indeed, it is absurd. This is just a trick used by the Zhang family to try to swallow up the Yu family. We, of course, will not fall for it.”

However, upon hearing Yu Xi’s words, Han Yi’s mind flashed back to his earlier thought.

Considering the significant gap in strength between the two families, there was no need for the Zhang Family to annex the Yu family.

Could it be…

That the real target of the Zhang Family was actually Yu Ling?

However, he didn’t voice his thoughts.

Pausing for a moment, Yu Xi regained her composure and continued to explain:

“Now, Profound Immortal Pavilion provides this batch of resources.”

“And the Supreme Pavilion and my Yu family have agreed to exchange them in three months.”

“Of course, the danger lies in the journey from Tian Nan Immortal City to the Supreme Pavilion of Yu State Immortal City.”

“I employ you to protect me on this journey.”

Han Yi nodded, understanding the ins and outs of the matter. He received the balance payment and ten thousand employment fees in the Qiankun Ring without asking any further questions, which made Yu Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

“If what you say is true, then I agree.”

A joyful expression appeared on Yu Xi’s face.

“In that case, the deal is made. May I ask your true name, sir?”

Han Yi paused for a moment, deciding it was best not to use his real name.

“You can call me Wang Lin.”

Yu Xi wasn’t surprised. “In that case, thank you, Master Wang.”

Upon meeting earlier, Yu Xi had already known that this unruly cultivator was from Xuandan Sect, but she hadn’t found any images of him among the cultivators of the Xuandan Sect that she knew.

He had changed his appearance and aura.

However, this only proved his caution, and such caution made him more reliable.

Moreover, before this, Yu Xi had learned that there was a Xuandan Sect Supreme Elder named Huo Ming stationed at the Profound Immortal Pavilion in Daqian Immortal City.

Wang Lin should be none other than Huo Ming.

Of course, she didn’t expose him.

Then, after collecting a cauldron-shaped magic treasure from the waterside room, Han Yi sensed that his divine consciousness was able to extend outwards. He immediately realized that this was a special magic treasure that could suppress the release of divine consciousness within a certain range.

“Let’s return to the Yu residence.”

After putting away the magic treasure, Yu Xi led Han Yi away and headed straight to the Yu residence in Tian Nan Immortal City, with Han Yi being vigilant all the way.

The Daqin Immortal Country occupied four states of the Nine States in the Yu Heng World: Qin State, Ji State, Yang State, and Yu State.

Tian Nan Immortal City, situated in the southernmost part of Yu State and also the Immortal City closest to Daqian, was about twice the size of Jinyun Immortal City, which was separated by a mountain.

The area of the entire Tian Nan Immortal City was much larger than the first-tier city of Han Yi’s previous life, with mountains, rivers, and beautiful scenery; it could even be considered a small world.

Half an hour later, the Yu family’s mansion could be seen in the distance, and Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, while Han Yi remained vigilant.

Just at that moment…

The Immortal Boat controlled by Yu Xi suddenly collided with a spirit light, shattering it, but the Immortal Boat itself was trapped.

“It’s a trapping spirit talisman; we’re ambushed.”

“Damn them, they even dared to ambush us right at the doorstep of the Yu family. This is outrageous, utterly outrageous.”

Yu Xi’s expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in horror.

At the same time, she tried to fly away, but she felt her whole body sink, and a pressure forced her down, keeping her firmly on the Immortal Boat.

Simultaneously, at a distance of a hundred meters in front of the Immortal Boat-

Three cultivators appeared openly; upon seeing them, Yu Xi’s eyes blazed with anger, and she gritted her teeth.

“Tuoba Li, Tuoba An, Tuoba Di.”

She quickly turned to Han Yi and said, “They are three of the four Tuoba brothers. Tuoba Li is at the Middle Golden Core Stage, while the other two are at the Golden Core Early Stage.”

“Master Wang, please take me away quickly. As long as we enter the Yu residence, they won’t dare to break in with the formation protecting it.”

Yu Xi’s eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked at Han Yi.

Using the pseudonym ‘Wang Lin,’ Han Yi didn’t look at Yu Xi, but instead stared incredulously at the Tuoba brothers.

It turned out that these three were the very same Golden Core cultivators with malicious vibes on the Immortal Boat.

He hadn’t expected that they would return from Daqian together with him. Han Yi quickly figured out what had transpired.

Then, thinking of something else, a cold look appeared on Han Yi’s defiant face..
