I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

“So, you truly didn’t kill her?”

Seeing Wen Yong’s distressed expression, Huang Meng couldn’t help but ask in a deep voice.

“It wasn’t me, I was just angry and recklessly threatened her, I didn’t dare to kill her. Besides, her protector is much stronger than me!”

Wen Yong was on the verge of crying.

He regretted his rash actions, he should not have made those threats in anger.

Who could have known that Dai Yingying would actually be murdered, and now he couldn’t clear his name.

Huang Meng took a deep breath, saying, “Could it have been done by the other brothers in our alliance? But they wouldn’t do it without informing us!”

With a sad face, Wen Yong said, “It must be those despicable and cunning people from the Spirit Sect or noble families who are trying to frame me.”

“Little Yong, run. Leave Yuzhou. I will arrange a place for you in an external state of our alliance. Once the All Ages Alliance is officially established, we need not fear the second-rate Dai Family anymore.”

“Alright, I will flee now!”

Wen Yong’s face turned pale, knowing that sooner or later, the Dai Family would hunt him down in Zheng Country, let alone in Yuzhou.

The Dai Family had spared no effort to hunt down the killer and had put up a substantial reward.

The royal family of Zheng Country also issued a bounty.

For a while, the Zheng Country martial arts community was in a state of panic, countless independent cultivators were trembling in fear, afraid of being implicated for no reason.

And the real murderer, Xu Yan, was by then already far away from the territory of Zheng Country.

The location blessed by divine dragon energy was miles away from Zheng Country. While he was journeying, Xu Yan was learning about the situation in Zheng Country and Yuzhou, and how many Spirit Sects and noble families there were.

The Gate of Lingyu was located in Zheng Country, Yuzhou. If the Chang Qing Pavilion wanted to migrate to the Ling Domain, it would inevitably need to settle in Yuzhou, and therefore it was essential to familiarise oneself beforehand.

There were significant differences in the power structures between the Ling Domain and the Inner Domain. In the Ling Domain, the Spirit Sects and noble families were the main governing forces.

The royal families and nations were subsidiary forces of the Spirit Sects or noble families, established to govern their territories.

In the entire Ling Domain, a strict hierarchy of supremacy and subordination was maintained, even among the Spirit Sects and the noble families.

The third-rate Spirit Sects had to follow this hierarchy when meeting with second-rate and first-rate ones, placing themselves behind the superior sects, never overstepping their bounds.

Of course, if there were deep-seated hatred and opposition between them, this rule would not be observed, unless there was a stronger Spirit Sect or noble family present, in which case the rule would need to be followed outwardly.

Yuzhou was controlled by three major Spirit Sects, five major noble families, and eighteen medium and small noble families and sects.

In total, there were six kingdoms.

Zheng Country was the only one that was not controlled by any Yuzhou Spirit Sects or noble families but instead, was governed by several transcendent Spirit Sects.

The task of guarding the Gate of Lingyu was an exclusive privilege granted by these transcendent Spirit Sects.

The Jade God Sect was the first sect of Yuzhou and also the only sect of the Ling Domain first class in Yuzhou.

Apart from the Jade God Sect, none of the other Yuzhou Spirit Sects and noble families possessed strength and depth that matched a first-class Spirit Sect of the Ling Domain.

They could only be considered as first-class Spirit Sects and noble families within Yuzhou.

Xu Yan gradually understood Yuzhou and some common knowledge about the Ling Domain from Yu Xiaolong.

For example, the Ling Domain did not have a unified currency. The currencies circulating in the martial arts world were issued by several transcendent Spirit Sects, and they could be used anywhere in the Eighteen States of the Ling Domain.

“Take this Great Zhou Spirit bill, for example. It’s issued by the Great Zhou State, the only kingdom in the Ling Domain that is comparable in power to a transcendent Spirit Sect. The Great Zhou State is the only self-governing kingdom in the Ling Domain,” Yu Xiaolong explained to Xu Yan.

It was puzzled, wondering why Xu Yan knew so little about the basic facts of the Ling Domain.

Perhaps he is a novice independent cultivator?

But still, why is his power so astonishingly great!

The fact that the Great Zhou State could remain independent and not be subjected to the rule of the Spirit Sect or noble families, and yet was as powerful as a transcendent Spirit Sect, showed the extraordinary power of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

“The land we are in now belongs to the Mo Family of Yuzhou, which is the number one noble family here,” said Yu Xiaolong, pointing to a city in the distance.

“Let’s go into the city and have a look around.”

Xu Yan decided to visit the shops in the city and look for any valuable items that might be worth buying.

“I’d better hide.”

Yu Xiaolong wrapped itself around Xu Yan’s wrist and hid under his sleeve.

Qinglin City, one of the six cities belonging to the Mo Family, the top-ranked family in Yuzhou.

The city walls were embedded with scale-like structures, from which it derived its name.

The Mo Family, being a first-class noble family in Yuzhou, didn’t establish any kingdom to rule over a territory but instead built the Mo Family City to govern their own territories directly.

Being one of the six major cities of the Mo Family, Qinglin City had a peak-Level Miraculous-Being warrior stationed there.

At that moment, in the Thunder Cloud Pavillion of Qinglin City, several martial artists were holding a portrait as they announced a bounty.

“Whoever provides information about this person will be rewarded with a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, or one Pill of Spirit Gathering!” they declared.

The group of martial artists was taken aback. A hundred thousands Spirit Crystals, or a Pill of Spirit Gathering?

The Thunder Cloud Pavilion was a shop in Qinglin City established by several transcendent Spirit Sects. It was packed with martial artists every day, and any independent cultivator with a bit of strength or wealth would visit this place.

People looked at the portrait of a young man holding a sword, handsome and with an extraordinary demeanor.

“May I ask, sir, what has this young man done?” A curious martial artist queried.

From the way he inquired, it was clear that he was an independent cultivator.

The martial artist holding the portrait looked at him with an indifferent expression and coldly said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, just provide the clues and claim the reward.”

Someone in the crowd asked, “What would be the reward if we manage to capture this person ourselves?”

Seeing who had posed the question, the martial artist holding the portrait smiled and said, “If you capture this person, the reward will be five Pills of Spirit Gathering, or an equivalent prize.”
