Chapter 307: What's It Got to Do With You?

~8 min read 1,405 words

Now?

He glanced at the time; it was already evening.

Is this appropriate?

Qiao Yue had doubts in her heart.

However, since Qin Yang had said that, she would certainly comply.

"Alright, let's go to their door."

After saying that, Qiao Yue and Qin Yang left together.

They drove, and twenty minutes later they stopped in front of a manor.

The gatekeeper saw a strange car suddenly appear before them, and two young people got out, neither of whom he recognized.

This made them a little tense; looking at the two, their gazes were full of vigilance.

Qiao Yue clasped her hands and said in a low voice: "Please inform the head of the Wu family that Qiao Yue of the Dragon Pavilion has come to visit and has an important matter to discuss."

Dragon Pavilion Captain Qiao Yue?

Hearing that name, the two guards' expressions immediately turned solemn.

They immediately notified the head of the family.

Soon, one of the gatekeepers said: "Please follow me."

Qiao Yue and Qin Yang then followed that guard inside.

This manor was relatively modern, showing no traditional style; it was completely Western in design.

Qin Yang and the others entered and were led into a hall.

The hall already had many people, waiting for Qiao Yue and Qin Yang.

When they saw Qiao Yue appear, the person leading them smiled and said: "Dragon Pavilion Captain's visit to my humble abode truly brings glory to the Wu family."

"The Wu family head is being polite."

Qiao Yue said lightly.

The other side hadn't come to greet her just now; their attitude made it clear they didn't take the Dragon Pavilion seriously.

The other side had a background in the cultivation world, and they didn't hold their fellow cultivators in high regard.

Qiao Yue could understand that.

"Who is this?"

Wu Yun's gaze fell on Qin Yang.

He didn't know why, but when Qin Yang's gaze fell on him, Wu Yun felt an urge to kneel, like a mortal seeing a deity.

"We, the Dragon Pavilion's Special Envoy, Qin Yang."

Qiao Yue said.

Wu Yun's heart stirred; Qin Yang? That name sounded familiar.

However, after thinking a moment, he couldn't recall it, and Wu Yun didn't press himself.

He immediately asked: "I don't know what brings Captain Qiao to my Wu family."

"We want something from the Wu family."

Qiao Yue was also blunt, getting straight to the point.

Wu Yun's expression changed slightly; he said somewhat unnaturally: "What does the Wu family have that the Dragon Pavilion would take a liking to? Please speak; as long as we have it, we will naturally give it to Captain Qiao."

As for whether such a thing exists, that's naturally up to Wu Yun to say.

Qiao Yue, seemingly not catching his meaning, said directly: "What we want is a cauldron; although that cauldron is precious, it is of no use to martial artists and will only bring disaster, so please, Wu family head, part with it; as for conditions, you may propose whatever you like, as long as it's not excessive, the Dragon Pavilion will agree."

Wu Yun's heart stirred.

A cauldron?

Could it be the Jiuzhou Cauldron?

He had obtained a Jiuzhou Cauldron, but that was several years ago.

However, no matter what method he tried, he could not activate the Jiuzhou Cauldron.

So, Wu Yun had almost forgotten about the Jiuzhou Cauldron in his heart.

He never expected the Dragon Pavilion to come looking for the Jiuzhou Cauldron, and moreover to let him set whatever conditions he liked.

This rekindled hope in Wu Yun's heart.

He feigned surprise, saying: "Captain Qiao, you may have heard wrong; the Wu family has no Jiuzhou Cauldron; surely someone is spreading rumors."

Having said that, Wu Yun feigned casualness and asked: "I don't know, Captain Qiao, what use is the Jiuzhou Cauldron? If it benefits Long Guo, our Wu family can also help search for it."

Qiao Yue's face looked a little unpleasant.

She stared at Wu Yun and said in a low voice: "Wu family head, I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you that keeping the Jiuzhou Cauldron in the Wu family will only bring disaster upon you."

Seeing Qiao Yue not speak, Wu Yun gave a faint smile and said: "If that's the case, there's nothing more to say; the Wu family indeed has no Jiuzhou Cauldron; men, see the guests out."

Having said that, Wu Yun rose to leave.

Qiao Yue wanted to flare up.

Qin Yang's heart stirred; he pulled Qiao Yue and said: "Don't rush, wait and see; there will be a good show shortly."

Qiao Yue's heart stirred; she immediately suppressed her anger.

Just then, several figures descended into the manor.

The Wu family members immediately sensed something wrong and rushed over.

They then realized the newcomers were all Western foreigners, seven in total.

They emanated holy light, staring at the Wu family members, making them unable to resist an urge to worship.

Wu Yun had been about to leave, but after seeing this scene, he could only stay.

You are from the Holy Radiant Court? What are you doing at my Wu family? This is Long Guo, not a place where your Holy Radiant Court can run wild.

Wu Yun rebuked.

But he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

The Holy Radiant Court's experts are matched against Dao cultivators.

These martial artists of theirs are no match for the Holy Radiant Court.

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, those Holy Radiant Court experts were somewhat surprised.

Evidently, they did not expect that a martial arts family would actually know of the Holy Radiant Court.

The leading Holy Radiant Court expert stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We came here to ask for something from you—hand over the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and we will not make things difficult for your Wu family."

Wu Yun's heart jolted.

He glanced at Qin Yang and the others.

These Holy Radiant Court experts also came for the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

This made Wu Yun recall what Qin Yang and the others had just said.

They had just said that the Nine Provinces Cauldron would bring disaster upon them.

Now it seems that this was indeed not a lie to them.

"As long as you don't kill us, I will present the Nine Provinces Cauldron with both hands."

Wu Yun immediately said.

Facing Qiao Yue of the Dragon Pavilion, he still dared to argue his point, not too worried about the other side turning hostile.

But the people of the Holy Radiant Court are different.

They will really make a move—even if they destroy the Wu family and then leave Long Guo, no one can do anything to them.

Qin Yang gave a light smile; he didn't mind, as long as the Nine Provinces Cauldron was produced.

Soon, the Wu family produced the Nine Provinces Cauldron and directly handed it to the Holy Radiant Court expert.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron fell into the opponent's hands, and that Holy Radiant Court expert's face instantly filled with ecstasy.

He immediately said, "Kill them all."

Wu Yun's face changed dramatically.

He loudly said, "You promised me that if I handed over the Nine Provinces Cauldron, you would not kill me."

"You heretics all deserve to die; accept the wrath of Shénmíng."

That Holy Radiant Court expert completely ignored him.

At that moment, Qin Yang reached out and made a grasping motion.

The Nine Provinces Cauldron directly fell into his hand.

That Holy Radiant Court expert's face changed drastically, and he directly struck out, aiming to kill Qin Yang.

Jiéguǒ, Qin Yang let out a Lěng hēng, and that Holy Radiant Court expert with Nascent Soul strength exploded instantly, dying before everyone's eyes.

Wu Yun's face was full of surprise and joy; he hadn't expected Qin Yang to be so strong, and the Wu family was saved.

At that moment, Qin Yang's voice sounded.

"Let's go."

"No, you cannot leave; I have already handed the Nine Provinces Cauldron to you, and you must protect our Wu family."

Wu Yun said excitedly.

Qin Yang glanced at him, gave a faint smile, his expression full of unsaid sarcasm.

"You might have misunderstood; this Nine Provinces Cauldron of mine was snatched from the hands of the Holy Radiant Court people—what does it have to do with you?"

Wu Yun froze, his face turning Cāngbái.
