Chapter 784 The Abnormalities of the Yu Family
Tianjing Mountain was packed with people; looking up, one could see hundreds of thousands of people waiting there.
Its scale was comparable to the Vulcan Festival, a grand event rarely seen on the entire continent.
"The opening of the Langhuan Secret Realm is an unmissable opportunity for all cultivators below the Four Extremes Realm in the Cangwu Realm. Moreover, the Holy Land has no restrictions on those who enter; anyone who is willing can enter."
"It is said that at the beginning, millions of cultivators entered the Langhuan Secret Realm each time, but due to its terrifying loss rate, many people later gave up."
"Now, the number of participants is basically stable at 80,000 to 100,000 each time it is opened."
Seeing Zhao Mu's surprised expression, Yu Ying gave a brief explanation.
"Is it all for Tibet?"
"Do not."
Yu Ying shook his head and said, "Only those who win the championship are qualified to enter Tibet. Although the people of Cangwu Realm are ambitious, they also have a certain self-awareness. Most of them are not here to win the championship."
The Langhuan Secret Realm is a place rich in opportunities, and over the years, many people have risen to great heights because of it.
"In my Yu family's collateral branch, there was a senior who was unremarkable in his early years, but he obtained an opportunity within the Langhuan Secret Realm. After emerging, he soared to great heights, advancing his cultivation to the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm within just a few hundred years."
hiss~
Zhao Mu gasped. Eighth level of the Tribulation Realm—that was definitely high-end combat power.
In the outside world, such a person would be considered a top-tier power, and the probability of such a person with unlimited potential reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm is extremely high.
No wonder so many people flock to the Langhuan Secret Realm.
"Brother Zhao, people from the Yu family have arrived."
As the two were talking, a group of people approached from not far away. There weren't many of them, about thirty people, but it was clear that they were all elites.
After a brief assessment, Zhao Mu discovered that almost every one of these people was comparable to the most outstanding individuals at the Green Water Pavilion gathering two days prior, aside from Cang Ming and the other two.
To be honest, if it were three days ago, he wouldn't have stood a chance against any of these people.
As for now...
How would we know if we've never fought one?
"The Yu family only has thirty people?"
Zhao Mu asked with some curiosity, "A grand event with 80,000 to 100,000 participants, it seems strange that the Yu family, one of the three great families of the Holy Land, only has so few people participating."
"Of course not."
Yu Ying smiled and shook his head, saying, "The Yu family has a hundred such teams, and the Cang family should have more, around a hundred and twenty. The Yin family is slightly less so because of some troubles they had a few years ago, but they still have around ninety teams."
Zhao Mu suddenly realized that there were too many people, so they were divided into multiple teams.
The changes in the Yin family must be due to factional infighting, and the fact that his mother's lineage was brought down.
Such matters are not for him to consider right now. He estimated that the Yin family of Cangwu Mountain was probably stronger than the entire Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, and that was not something he should be thinking about at the moment.
"that......"
Noticing the gazes of the thirty people sweeping over him, Zhao Mu raised an eyebrow slightly at Yu Ying beside him.
"Hum~"
Yu Ying was amused by Zhao Mu's expression and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Zhao, yesterday's situation won't happen again."
Seeing the unfriendly looks from those people, Zhao Mu expressed his suspicion.
Therefore, when the Yu family arrived, he first cupped his hands to everyone and said, "I am Zhao Mu. I already have a Daoist partner. My relationship with Fairy Yu is just that of friends. Please do not misunderstand."
puff~
Yu Ying's two sword servants couldn't help but burst into laughter.
???
The men and women of the Yu family were completely bewildered by Zhao Mu's actions. What was going on?
They were just wondering why there was a strange man next to the young lady, and they thought they had hit it off. But who would have thought that this guy would stand up and say such a thing without saying a word, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with the young lady at all.
"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist? Could it be that my eldest daughter of the Yu family is not good enough for you?"
A woman who was almost thirty years old immediately stood up and stared at Zhao Mu with an unfriendly expression.
"That's right, my Miss Yu has talent, strength, resources, looks, and fame. How could you possibly look down on the dignified Fairy Yu?"
"If you don't give us a reason today, we will definitely not let you off the hook."
"Tell me, why do you look down on my young lady?"
"It's your good fortune that my young lady has taken a liking to you, yet you're already complaining."
"..."
???
Zhao Mu was full of questions. Why were these people not playing by the rules? Normally, after he severed ties with Yu Ying, these people should have been very friendly to him.
After all, he was being sensible.
But how did it turn out like this?
It was as if not being with Yu Ying was a heinous crime.
"Brother Zhao, why bother with this?"
Yu Ying looked at him with a wry smile and said, "These are all the people closest to me in the Yu family. You really are..."
"That was because I was too talkative."
Zhao Mu chuckled and cupped his hands to the crowd, saying, "I apologize, everyone. I didn't mean to look down on Fellow Daoist Yu. I was just explaining the situation in advance to prevent a repeat of the previous conflict."
"After all, people should be able to understand the saying that beautiful women can bring disaster."
"It is said that no man has ever been able to get within a zhang of Fellow Daoist Yu. I am standing next to her, and I am afraid that you will misunderstand."
"Just a few days ago at Green Water Pavilion, I was chased and bitten by one of Fellow Daoist Yu's suitors, which was very annoying."
"..."
After Zhao Mu's explanation, everyone immediately understood that they had been seeing things from afar.
"Alright, Brother Zhao, no need to explain further, they're all on our side."
Yu Ying interrupted Zhao Mu and said to the others, "Brother Zhao will be joining our team, so you must cooperate well with him."
"Your order is obeyed, Miss!"
Everyone bowed in unison.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu understood that these people were Yu Ying's true confidants.
Moreover, he is most likely not far related to Yu Ying by blood. As for how he knows this, the current situation makes it quite clear.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you really have no interest in Miss Zhao?"
"That's right. The young lady is as beautiful as an angel and is willing to get close to you. That's practically an open declaration that I have feelings for you. What are you still hesitating about?"
"Miss Yu, becoming a Daoist couple will propel you to new heights. What are you still hesitating for?"
"A Daoist partner? So what if you have a Daoist partner? As long as you're capable enough, you can take the young lady in as well."
"You don't know, the young lady has never been so intimate with a man before."
"Of course, we don't count. Don't treat us like outsiders. We only have respect for Miss and we can't wait for her to find a Daoist partner!"
"..."
???
Zhao Mu was truly exasperated by these old men. They actually started trying to sell him Yu Ying and urging him to win over this fairy Yu. It was unbelievable.
