154: Jinling Family

Most of the people had left.

Yue Lingxin ran to Yang Yi.

She tugged at his sleeve.

"You!"

"Your guts are too big!"

"Of all the people to kill,"

"Why did you kill someone from the Jinling Family?"

"Now you've really caused big trouble!"

"I have a backer!" Yang Yi said loudly.

Manxin Old Ancestor, who had already left the palace, nearly stumbled when she heard this.

Even with a backer, he shouldn't have done that.

The Jinling Family was not to be trifled with.

The only thing worth celebrating was that she was also a member of the Jinling Family.

So, there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

Representatives from various forces left in a hurry after attending the master-disciple ceremony, not lingering.

When they returned and recounted how Yang Yi had slain people from the Jinling Family and others, everyone was shocked beyond measure.

Especially the people of Diancang Sect.

Along with their shock, there was more anger.

He was too lawless!

He simply didn't treat the people of Diancang Sect as human beings.

He killed them as he pleased.

Even when slaughtering pigs, one would call friends.

Yet, he showed no mercy when killing the people of Diancang Sect.

If this continued, the people of Diancang Sect would truly become pigs in Yang Yi's eyes, to be slaughtered at will.

The Sect Master's little bit of gratitude towards Yang Yi vanished completely.

He had just taken office.

If he couldn't resolve this matter, how could he command respect?

After a moment of contemplation, he decided to make an example of Yang Yi.

The reason for this decision was that Yang Yi had offended the Jinling Family.

The power of the Jinling Family was something that even the Twelve Sects of Yun Province could not compare to.

Having offended the Jinling Family, he was doomed to die.

The Sect Master personally rushed to the Jinling Family, preparing to cooperate with them to eliminate Yang Yi.

On his way to the Jinling Family, he specifically made a trip to Opening Heaven Gate.

Opening Heaven Gate and Diancang Sect had always maintained a subtle relationship, neither particularly good nor bad.

This time, he planned to include Opening Heaven Gate as well.

Three major forces going against one Yang Yi, even if Yang Yi had Luoyue Sect backing him, it wouldn't be a problem.

Upon meeting Cang Jiuzhou, the Sect Master stated his request directly.

He had expected Cang Jiuzhou to prevaricate or demand various conditions, but to his surprise, Cang Jiuzhou agreed immediately.

Moreover, he wanted to go to the Jinling Family with him.

Cang Jiuzhou had his own thoughts.

He had verbally agreed to Diancang Sect, but in reality, he wanted to see the Jinling Family's attitude.

If the Jinling Family was willing to jointly execute Yang Yi, he would support it.

If the Jinling Family was unwilling, then he would have to change his strategy.

Just as the two were heading to the Jinling Family, Manxin Old Ancestor also couldn't sit still.

She knew that Diancang Sect would definitely not let the matter rest.

This day, she called Yang Yi over.

Yang Yi acted as if nothing had happened, going about his business as usual.

He hadn't taken the previous events to heart at all.

Manxin Old Ancestor shook her head helplessly.

"You certainly take things in stride."

"You're not worried at all about others retaliating against you."

Yang Yi sat across from Manxin Old Ancestor and said calmly, "When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it with earth."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Others are nothing, but the Jinling Family, you can't deal with them."

"Pack up, and come with me to the Jinling Family."

"I have nothing to pack, I can leave now."

"However, what are we going to the Jinling Family for?" Yang Yi asked, his Face full of questions.

"What do you think?"

"Of course, to apologize to them."

He immediately became unwilling.

"Is it necessary?"

Manxin Old Ancestor walked up to Yang Yi and gently patted his shoulder.

"Whether it's necessary or not,"

"You'll know once we go."

The two greeted Sha Yue and then left for the Jinling Family.

When they arrived at the Jinling Family, Sect Leader Zixu of Diancang Sect and Cang Jiuzhou of Opening Heaven Gate had already been there for two days.

They had already told the Jinling Family their ideas, but the Jinling Family had not yet made a decision.

When they heard that Manxin Old Ancestor of Luoyue Sect had arrived, Sect Leader Zixu and Cang Jiuzhou were startled, knowing that something was amiss.

They knew very well that Manxin Old Ancestor was a member of the Jinling Family.

Although Manxin Old Ancestor's status in the Jinling Family was not high before, as time passed, Manxin Old Ancestor had lived for an unknown number of years, and her strength was so great.

Her identity also changed accordingly, rising with the tide.

She had already become an elder among the Jinling Family members.

Even the current Clan Chief of the Jinling Family had to call Manxin Old Ancestor 'Old Ancestor' or 'Grandma' when they met.

Her seniority was extremely high.

Because Manxin Old Ancestor's seniority was so high, everyone in the Jinling Family, from the Clan Chief down to the children, came out to greet her.

They called her 'Old Ancestor' one after another, some calling her 'Great-Grandma' or 'Grandma'.

Manxin Old Ancestor had not returned to the Jinling Family for many years, and she didn't recognize these people in front of her.

However, seeing people with the same Bloodline as herself, she still felt very close.

Everyone came to a luxurious living room and sat down.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Manxin Old Ancestor, not a stingy person, gave some good things to the Juniors, making everyone feel even more like Family towards her.

After chatting for a while, Jin Qiuyan, the Clan Chief of the Jinling Family, changed the subject to Yang Yi.

"I heard that you, Third Grandma, have taken a disciple."

"This young brother must be him, right?"

Manxin Old Ancestor nodded with a smile.

"That's him."

"A good-for-nothing fellow."

"He just became my disciple and already caused me immense trouble."

The originally lively hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone knew what Manxin Old Ancestor meant by that.

It was nothing more than saying that Yang Yi had killed people from the Jinling Family.

If she hadn't brought up this matter, everyone would have maintained their elder-Junior relationship with her.

But since she brought it up, their relationship with her took on another layer of meaning.

Jin Qiuyan was a beautiful woman.

She smiled faintly.

"Being young and impetuous is understandable."

"But don't be arrogant."

"Third Grandma, our Jinling Family is renowned throughout Yun Province and even the continent."

"Before Yang Yi became your disciple,"

"He must have heard of the Jinling Family's name."

As soon as she said this, Yang Yi interrupted her.

"Sorry, I haven't heard of it."

Just this one sentence made more than half of the Jinling Family members dislike Yang Yi.

Manxin Old Ancestor also glared fiercely at Yang Yi, blaming him for being talkative.

"You continue," Manxin Old Ancestor said to Jin Qiuyan.

Jin Qiuyan, however, didn't mind Yang Yi's words and continued to speak eloquently.

"Even if you didn't know,"

"But once someone from my Jinling Family appears,"

"The people around you would tell you."

"Yet, you still killed someone from my Jinling Family."

"Are you intentionally provoking us?"

"Or are you saying that you believe your strength is immense and you don't need to give our Jinling Family Face?"

Manxin Old Ancestor, fearing that Yang Yi would say something else foolish, gently tapped the table with her hand, signaling Yang Yi to be careful with his words.

Yang Yi stood up and cupped his hands towards the young women in front of him.
