The human cultivators watching from a distance began whispering among themselves.
“The Wu Clan of Kaiyang Domain has really stirred up trouble for themselves this time.”
“Who told Wu Jun to refuse to accept his loss? They thought the other guy was a pushover, but he turned out to be a tough nut.”
“Indeed, for that young man to receive such help from Silent Moon Valley, he must be extraordinary.”
…
Among the onlookers, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood silently, his face hidden behind a mask.
“Didn’t expect this guy to have such strong connections. Looks like I don’t need to step in to help,” the black-robed man murmured.
…
At the scene.
“What?”
Wu Jun’s father’s face changed. Apologise to Master Wu?
With so many onlookers nearby, if word of this got out, where would he hide his face?
“Do as you’re told if you want to leave! Otherwise, you won’t be going anywhere today!” Yu Rou snapped.
“Father, what… what do we do now?” Wu Jun asked, panicking like an ant on a hot pan.
“You have the nerve to ask! This is all your fault!” Wu Jun’s father, face ashen, scolded him harshly.
Wu Jun trembled in fear, not daring to say another word.
“The chance has been given. If you don’t comply, bear the consequences,” Yu Rou said coldly.
They might struggle against Nether Palace, but dealing with the Wu Clan was no problem at all.
“Fine, I’ll apologise!” Wu Jun’s father gritted his teeth, finally giving in.
Although Silent Moon Valley’s team had no Supreme, and the leading elder was only in the Void Dao Realm, if a fight broke out, the Wu Clan could likely escape.
But fighting Silent Moon Valley would mean making an enemy of them, possibly inviting their retaliation.
What they feared was Silent Moon Valley’s deterrence.
Wu Jun’s father then stepped in front of Master Wu.
“Old Seven, I… I apologise to you,” Wu Jun’s father said, head lowered, his face ashen.
For him, this was an immense humiliation.
Master Wu, smiling, said, “Wu Ersheng, I never thought I’d see the day you’d bow and apologise to me. This time, you miscalculated.”
Master Wu continued, “Also, you’d better keep your son in check. Stop treating me and my son as easy targets! Don’t push us too far!”
Wu Jun’s father was speechless, his face growing even uglier.
“Alright, you can go. But remember this: don’t trouble Lin Yun again, or your Wu Clan will pay a price!” Yu Rou warned.
Wu Jun’s father could only nod with a forced smile, then led the Wu Clan team away in disgrace.
This time, they could only admit their bad luck.
Lin Yun only asked for an apology, not wanting to stir up more trouble.
After all, with both sides having Void Dao Realm cultivators, the main goal was to resolve the issue.
With the Wu Clan’s departure, the crisis was fully resolved.
“Phew, the trouble’s finally over,” Wu Chengtian sighed.
“Yu Rou, Yu Qing, thank you. Without you, I’d have been in serious trouble today,” Lin Yun said, smiling at the two sisters.
“Benefactor Lin Yun, we’re the ones who should thank you. And knowing you’re alive makes us so happy!” Yu Qing said with a playful smile.
Back then, they thought Lin Yun was surely dead, and they had been heartbroken and guilty for a long time.
“Lin Yun, compared to you risking your life to save us, this is nothing. You’re the bravest, most righteous man I’ve ever met. No matter what trouble you face in the future, we sisters will do our utmost to help you!” Yu Rou said, her beautiful eyes filled with sincerity.
“Young ladies, the trouble has been resolved. We should head back. Before we came, the master instructed us not to let you linger in the Ancestral Heart Realm,” the Silent Moon Valley elder said.
“Mm,” Yu Rou responded.
Then she turned to Lin Yun. “Benefactor Lin Yun, if you’re willing, come with us to Silent Moon Valley. We sisters will strongly recommend you to join. Silent Moon Valley has a significant reputation across the Ancestral Land, with abundant cultivation resources and a deep historical legacy.”
Lin Yun was taken aback.
Master Wu quickly said, “Lin Yun, joining Silent Moon Valley would be a great opportunity. With these two young ladies helping you there, it could bring immense benefits. You should consider it.”
