The elder leading Silent Moon Valley immediately stepped forward, blocking the Wu Clan members from leaving.
Wu Jun and his father’s faces changed drastically.
“This… this is between you and Nether Palace. It has nothing to do with our Wu Clan,” Wu Jun’s father said, forcing a smile.
“Enough nonsense. Stay put,” the Silent Moon Valley elder said coldly.
Yu Rou turned to the Nether Palace elder and said, “Elder of Nether Palace, Silent Moon Valley is protecting the people by my side. If you don’t want conflict with us, you’d better leave quickly.”
“A mere girl dares to challenge me?” the Nether Palace elder said, his face darkening.
The Silent Moon Valley elder sneered, “Elder of Nether Palace, if we fight, it benefits no one. You should understand the stakes. Besides, you’re the ones bullying others. What wrong did he commit by bidding fairly with his own money?”
“And if I insist on dealing with him today?” the Nether Palace elder said, his tone chilling.
“Then we’ll fight! Don’t underestimate our resolve to protect him. Even if it means war, we won’t hesitate!” the Silent Moon Valley elder declared.
On the way here, the elder had discussed with Yu Rou and Yu Qing that they would protect Lin Yun, even if it meant fighting Nether Palace’s team.
Hearing this, the Nether Palace elder’s expression grew uglier.
He hadn’t expected Silent Moon Valley’s determination to protect Lin Yun to be so strong!
The Nether Palace elder knew that Silent Moon Valley was part of the Dao Alliance. Fighting them would bring considerable trouble.
He had come to intercept Lin Yun, thinking Silent Moon Valley wouldn’t clash with them over an outsider.
“Brat, I’ll remember you!” the Nether Palace elder said, glaring at Lin Yun with venomous eyes.
With that, he waved his hand.
“Let’s go.”
He promptly led the Nether Palace team away.
Fighting Silent Moon Valley over the beastman corpse in Lin Yun’s possession was clearly not worth it.
In truth, they had targeted Lin Yun as an easy mark, thinking there was no risk in dealing with him.
Once risks appeared, and they outweighed the benefits, they naturally wouldn’t continue.
Lin Yun, Master Wu, and the others breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Nether Palace team leave.
Without Silent Moon Valley’s help, the pressure from Nether Palace would have been overwhelming, and resolving this situation would have been nearly impossible.
The Silent Moon Valley elder, Yu Rou, and Yu Qing didn’t stop Nether Palace from leaving.
Their main goal was to protect Lin Yun, and that had been achieved.
Fighting Nether Palace would bring them no benefit either.
Both Nether Palace and Silent Moon Valley were major forces with Supremes. Unless absolutely necessary, neither would轻易 engage in conflict.
“Phew, the trouble with Nether Palace is finally resolved,” Lin Yun let out a long sigh.
Lin Yun was very aware that today’s incident boiled down to his lack of strength.
He hadn’t wanted to provoke Nether Palace; he only wanted to bid normally. He had no prior enmity with them.
Nether Palace, relying on their power, had deliberately bullied him.
If Lin Yun had enough strength, would Nether Palace dare to play these games with him?
Master Wu looked at Lin Yun and smiled. “Friend Lin Yun, you’re truly remarkable. Silent Moon Valley was willing to confront Nether Palace head-on for you. On the way out of the city, you said you had no connection with them, and I almost believed you. But at the critical moment, it was Silent Moon Valley who stepped in to help.”
“This… Master Wu…” Lin Yun gave an awkward smile, momentarily at a loss for words.
It wasn’t that Lin Yun had deliberately hidden anything; he genuinely hadn’t known!
“Benefactor Lin Yun, how should we deal with them?” Yu Qing asked, pointing at the Wu Clan.
Yu Rou added, “Benefactor Lin Yun, you decide how to handle them!”
Hearing this, Wu Jun and his father instantly panicked.
They knew their Wu Clan’s deterrence was far inferior to Nether Palace’s. They had no standing to challenge Silent Moon Valley directly!
They had hoped Nether Palace would deal with Silent Moon Valley, but now that Nether Palace had left, they were completely without support.
“Let them go,” Lin Yun said, looking at Wu Jun and the others.
Wu Jun and his father breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
But Lin Yun suddenly changed his tone. “However, before they leave, they must first apologise to Master Wu, especially him!”
Lin Yun abruptly raised his hand, pointing at Wu Jun’s father.
