157: Deliberately let the water go, terrible family

The strength Yang Yi displayed just now startled them.

Although they knew Jin Yanxi was powerful, whether she could defeat Yang Yi was still unknown.

Just that one Sword Qi from Yang Yi, it would probably not be easy for Jin Yanxi to block.

The scene was silent.

As Manxin Old Ancestor nodded slightly, she couldn't help but worry for her newly accepted Disciple.

Jin Yanxi's Realm had reached the Heavenly Desolate Realm, while Yang Yi was in the Earth Moon Realm.

They were a Realm apart.

It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to defeat the opponent.

"Yang Yi, be careful."

"You are my only Disciple."

As the two were about to start fighting, Manxin Old Ancestor instructed Yang Yi.

Yang Yi nodded slightly, knowing that Manxin Old Ancestor was not instructing him, but rather reminding Jin Yanxi and the Jinling Family members.

She was telling them to show mercy.

As for whether they would show mercy, that depended on how much Jin Yanxi respected Manxin Old Ancestor.

Jin Yanxi clearly did not take Manxin Old Ancestor's words to heart.

Every move was lethal, as if she wished to pierce Yang Yi to death with one Sword.

Yang Yi was forced to retreat step by step.

At this moment, he finally understood his Master's words from before:

"You'll know if an apology is necessary once you arrive."

This time, he finally knew.

He really should apologize to the Jinling Family.

These women were indeed not to be trifled with.

Relying on the Seven Injury Divine Sword, he could still contend with Jin Yanxi.

Without the Seven Injury Divine Sword, this woman could truly kill him with one Sword.

This was just one woman from the Jinling Family, and there were many other women watching from the side.

Several of them held higher positions than Jin Yanxi.

Even if these few were not as strong as Jin Yanxi, they would certainly not be much weaker than him.

What's more, the Jinling Family also had hidden Old Ancestors.

If any one of those Old Ancestors made a move, he probably wouldn't be an opponent.

The more Yang Yi fought, the more alarmed he became, occasionally glancing at his Master.

He didn't want to lose now; he could only rely on Manxin Old Ancestor.

Manxin Old Ancestor could also tell that if the fight continued, Yang Yi would undoubtedly lose.

She coughed heavily, attracting everyone's attention.

Her expression also turned icy cold.

Everyone could feel the temperature drop slightly.

This clearly indicated her displeasure.

Jin Qiuyan naturally understood Manxin Old Ancestor's meaning.

Two days ago, she had also discussed it with the Family members.

Ultimately, everyone decided to give Manxin Old Ancestor Face.

She had also discussed it with Jin Yanxi, agreeing to let Yang Yi off during the battle.

Who knew that this girl would forget her instructions once the fight started?

Seeing Jin Yanxi losing control more and more as she fought, Jin Qiuyan coughed softly, quickly reminding Jin Yanxi.

"Defeating him is enough."

"You must not injure Third Grandmother's Disciple."

These words had a clear effect.

Jin Yanxi's attack paused slightly, and her offensive became much weaker, no longer as fierce as before.

Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Seven Injury Divine Sword in his hand swept out.

The Sword of Ruthlessness was unleashed.

The surrounding air stagnated.

Many people felt themselves locked on by the Sword Qi.

In an instant, a majestic Sword Qi burst forth.

With a loud bang, smoke and dust billowed around.

Jin Yanxi retreated from the center of the explosion with extremely fast footwork.

Not a speck of dust stained her clothes as she stood quietly not far away.

Yang Yi had a little sweat on his forehead.

He looked at the Seven Injury Divine Sword in his hand, then at Jin Yanxi, who had already dodged the attack, and fell silent.

He had lost.

Just then, Jin Yanxi suddenly spoke.

She coldly said, "I lost," then turned and left, leaving behind a bewildered crowd.

Everyone present was a Master.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Jin Yanxi had more than enough to deal with Yang Yi.

Yet, she voluntarily conceded.

The Jinling Family members naturally knew what was going on.

Sect Leader Zixu and Cang Jiuzhou were not fools either.

They also understood that Jin Yanxi intentionally let Yang Yi off.

This infuriated both of them.

The most angry was Cang Jiuzhou.

He resented the Jinling Family for going easy.

He resented the Jinling Family for not telling him in advance.

If they had told him, he wouldn't have participated in this matter.

Nor would he have offended Yang Yi.

But now, he had offended the person, and the person wasn't killed.

Wasn't this like drawing water with a bamboo basket, all for naught?

It was no longer empty; there was something unsettling in the basket for him.

He gained no benefits, only a full body of bad luck.

He snorted heavily and turned to leave.

Sect Leader Zixu looked at the Jinling Family members.

Finally, he nodded heavily at Jin Qiuyan.

"Good, good."

After saying two "good"s, he also left.

Jin Qiuyan sighed, giving Yang Yi an annoyed glance.

Then, she smiled and approached Manxin Old Ancestor.

"Third Grandmother, you must be satisfied with this, right?"

"Several Old Ancestors wish to see you."

"You see..."

"Alright, let's go see them now."

Jin Qiuyan led Manxin Old Ancestor away.

The others also dispersed.

No one cared about Yang Yi anymore.

Yang Yi returned to his courtyard.

He was about to close his door and enter seclusion to Cultivate for a period.

However, before the door was closed, a person gracefully walked along the path not far from the doorway.

Yang Yi placed one hand on the doorframe and scratched his head with the other.

He smiled and greeted the approaching person.

"Young Miss Yanxi, we meet again."

"Thank you for showing mercy just now."

Jin Yanxi stood in front of Yang Yi with a cold expression, looking down at him.

"No need to thank me."

"Helping you wasn't free."

"I heard you have a Medicinal Pill that can allow people to reach the Life and Death Realm."

"Give me some."

"How many do you want?" Yang Yi asked.

Jin Yanxi's eyes moved slightly upwards as she pondered and said,

"Give me twenty first."

"I'll give you thirty, but I don't have them right now."

Jin Yanxi's eyes widened slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

It sounded good, but she hadn't received anything.

As far as she knew, Yang Yi not only killed without batting an eye but also talked a good game, saying one thing and doing another.

He had a good friend named Haitang, who had been tricked by Yang Yi several times.

Her friend had even warned her that if she ever had the chance to meet Yang Yi, she must be extremely cautious of his every word.

Sure enough, her friend was right.

"I only want twenty."

"Give them to me now."

Jin Yanxi extended her long, fair hand.

Yang Yi cleared his throat and smacked his lips.

"I don't have them temporarily."

"How about waiting a few days?" he tentatively asked.

Seeing the other party's eyes about to pop out, Yang Yi quickly explained.

"I really don't have them right now."

"But within a month, I'll definitely give you thirty."

Jin Yanxi was very displeased.

She told Yang Yi to hurry up, then left.

Right after she separated from Yang Yi, a servant ran up from not far away.

The servant whispered a few words in her ear.

Jin Yanxi frowned and reluctantly walked towards the Jinling Family's meeting hall.

Upon arriving at the meeting hall, many people were already seated inside.

Most of them were young girls, chattering non-stop.
