Chapter 181: Chapter 37 Calm

Lin Yuan quietly waited on the pavilion, while the Pei family members kept tidying up the aftermath.

Below the pavilion, someone was already reporting information from various places to Pei Zeqi. Seeing Lin Yuan waiting for something, Pei Zeqi did not dare to leave, lest a breach of etiquette cause Lin Yuan displeasure, which would be improper.

Thus, the area below the Moon Gazing Pavilion temporarily became the information processing center.

About the time it takes an incense stick to burn later.

"The Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder have supported the weapon store, repelling the Hong family’s offensive. The Third Elder suffered a minor injury, but it’s nothing serious," a trusted aide quietly reported the situation.

"Good." Pei Zeqi felt assured, his eyes revealing infinite killing intent: "The Hong family targets my Pei family, with the top members fully out, now that Hong Weiqing and all the top martial artists of the West River Alliance are dead, it’s the perfect time to crush the Hong family."

Pei Zeqi turned his head, clenching his fist harshly: "Sixian, I trouble you to act again tonight. The death of my Pei family disciples must be avenged in blood."

"As the Family Head says." Hou Sixian nodded as well upon hearing this.

In the later stage of Wuyuan realm, ten members of the Hong family are already gone, with little resistance left. The Pei family, pursuing the victory, should seize the opportunity to strike down the Hong family now, breaking their plaque.

"Once I bid farewell to Brother Lin, I’ll act immediately." Hou Sixian pondered slightly, not moving right away.

Because now Lin Yuan’s status is the highest in both the Pei family and Yanghua. Whatever he requires, the Pei family must do their utmost to fulfill, showing respect for Lin Yuan.

This point was well-handled by the two as leaders of the Pei family.

The discussion concluded, they said no more, waiting quietly.

Seeing the Family Head there, the other members of the Pei family dared not make any noise. After quietly reporting important matters, they left quietly, not daring to disturb.

Silent, both raised their heads to look at the silhouette above.

Pei Zeqi, looking at the thin figure, felt infinite emotion.

"In this crisis, with the Hong family allying with the West River Alliance, my Pei family almost had no ability to retaliate. Also, the Hong family, knowing about the alchemy activities, certainly has insiders hidden in the shadows. After this, a purge is a must."

"Tonight’s situation is truly as precarious as a stack of eggs."

"My Pei family is fortunate to have a hidden master like Brother Lin." Amidst his sentiments, Pei Zeqi felt a stroke of luck.

When Hong Weiqing struck, he was prepared to fight with all his might. Near despair, yet with Lin Yuan’s intervention, the Pei family had a dramatic turnaround, miraculously surviving and reversing the situation.

"A third-degree powerhouse, truly terrifying." Seeing Lin Yuan’s calm demeanor, Pei Zeqi suddenly felt a trace of awe.

On the balcony.

Mei Andao was awakened by snowflakes falling on his face.

"Lin Yuan didn’t kill me," realizing it, his face filled with joy.

However, when he opened his eyes and saw Lin Yuan standing quietly above, his joyous expression instantly collapsed.

"Sir, sir," Mei Andao said with a mournful face, probing.

"Awake?"

Lin Yuan nodded, speaking calmly: "I’ll ask, you’ll answer."

"Yes, yes, yes," Mei Andao, with a pleasing face like a chick pecking at rice, kept nodding.

"What is said about the third realm in Wuyuan?"

Lin Yuan’s mild voice sounded in Mei Andao’s ear.

"Third realm?"

Mei Andao was immediately dumbstruck.

You, a master of the third realm, asking me what’s said about the third realm? How would I know? I’m also barely at the Wuyuan level.

But the calm eyes of Lin Yuan exerted an immense pressure on him, the terrifying sort understood only when experienced firsthand.

Mei Andao shrunk his neck, summoning the courage to speak out the rumors he knew: "The third realm is regarded as the Aperture Realm. It’s the stage where one’s energy is full, opening up the apertures to house more energy."

"It is heard that many powerful masters open up dozens of apertures, and some top-tier geniuses can open up as many as eighty-one."

"And then?" Lin Yuan grew interested and continued to ask.

"I really don’t know," Mei Andao smiled bitterly: "You know too, I’m just a small-level Wuyuan. Haven’t you already entered the Aperture Realm, so why?"

Before Mei Andao could finish, he was interrupted by the serene gaze cast upon him, silencing him, not daring to continue questioning.

"What realm is the City Lord of Baiyan City? Does it have anything to do with the Martial Academy?" Lin Yuan, seeing he couldn’t get more information about the Aperture realm, switched the topic: "What about the three great sects?"

Seeing Lin Yuan stop inquiring about the Aperture realm relieved Mei Andao.

When it came to the distribution of power in Baiyan City, he was somewhat aware.

"The three great sects collectively established the Martial Academy in Baiyan City. If a martial artist from the academy catches the eye of the sects, they may enter and cultivate higher-level cultivation techniques. It’s rumored that not only are there cultivation techniques for the Aperture realm but even higher level ones."

"Higher level?" Lin Yuan’s expression shifted: "What is it?"

Mei Andao, cautiously thinking it through, finally bit the bullet and answered: "It’s said to be the Divine Diagram. But I can’t guarantee if it’s true."

"It’s heard that the City Lord trained in the Divine Diagram, hailing from the Evergreen Sect, one of the three great sects."

"Evergreen Sect?" Lin Yuan nodded, contemplating briefly, then asked: "Can only the Martial Academy members join these great sects?"

"That’s right. The three great sects only select disciples from the Martial Academy."

"Anything else you’d like to add?"

"?"

Mei Andao was stunned, then suddenly shocked, instantly sensing a scent of death.

Lin Yuan gave him a painful end.

"Ugh!"

A low groan escaped his mouth.

Mei Andao’s eyes turned dark, divine light fading, his body went completely limp.

Lin Yuan gazed into the distance with a deep look in his eyes.

Besides questioning, his greater focus was covertly observing where that spirit was lurking.

Luckily, there were too many battles unleashed tonight. The spirit near the Hong family had already consumed dozens of living souls, filled to the brim, and did not come out wandering around.

Feeling entirely at ease, Lin Yuan descended the Moon Gazing Pavilion.

Waiting for a long time, Pei Zeqi and Hou Sixian immediately approached.

After the greetings, Lin Yuan solemnly said: "Family Head Pei."

"Grandmaster Lin, please instruct," Pei Zeqi quickly stepped forward, listening intently, bearing no posture of a superior.

"I don’t want to be in the spotlight, don’t make a fuss about me killing the Hong family today," Lin Yuan lightly reminded, "If I hear any rumors about me out there, don’t blame me for turning my back."

"Watch your Pei family people!" After speaking, Lin Yuan’s energy surged, shattering all the snowflakes in this space.

"Yes." Pei Zeqi was drenched in cold sweat, alarmed in his heart.

At this moment, he realized what kind of terrifying existence Hong Weiqing and others had faced.

"Another reminder," after considering slightly, Lin Yuan advised, "The Hong family, can’t be fought."

If striking the Hong family angered the spirit hidden within, he might not be able to protect the Pei family either. The best was to maintain the current situation openly, allowing Yanghua some peace, helping the spirit to stabilize.

However, Lin Yuan’s words left Hou Sixian and Pei Zeqi both stunned.

Glancing at each other, Pei Zeqi’s face slightly darkened.

"Grandmaster Lin, why is this?" Pei Zeqi mustered the courage to ask.

After all, he couldn’t bear to see the opportunity slip away without giving it a try.

The Pei family and the Hong family had fought for hundreds of years, now was the Hong family’s weakest point. If they didn’t seize the momentum to capture the Hong family, letting them regain momentum.

They would inevitably regret later.

"Family Head Pei, may I ask you a few questions?" Lin Yuan asked calmly, "In the hundreds of years of struggle between the Hong and Pei families, has there ever been a night this crazed?"

"Why is the Hong family so desperate to exterminate the Pei family, and why in such a hurry?"

Lin Yuan’s question made Pei Zeqi frown, pondering the deeper meaning behind it.

The alliance of the Hong family with the West River Alliance was a god-given opportunity rare to come by, and the Pei family fell into the trap, thinking West River Alliance only wanted to establish its foothold in Yanghua.

But the two secretly conspired, joining forces to destroy the Pei family, which indeed surprised them.

Seeing Pei Zeqi still hesitating, Lin Yuan’s expression remained calm, continuing to inquire: "Think about it. Why was Hong Weiqing so confident, who gave him the courage?"

"If tonight, a few in the later stage of the Wuyuan realm escaped from the Pei family, how would the Hong family handle it? To leave a few behind in the later stage of the Wuyuan is very difficult unless there is absolute domination. But why did the Hong family dare to act so boldly? The answer is, there are means behind them targeting those unafraid of danger."

Pei Zeqi and Hou Sixian exchanged another glance, their hearts suddenly shocked, cold sweat breaking out.
