Chapter 298

Returning to the Yin-Yang School on Mount Li, Su Xuan brought up the destruction of the Nongjia.

Upon learning that the leader had decided to take action against the Nongjia, many Yin-Yang School disciples volunteered.

Although the Yin-Yang School had changed a lot after Su Xuan took charge.

But it had only been a short time, and in their bones, many disciples had not changed their nature of being brave, fierce, and competitive.

Besides, the leader had the grace of teaching them.

Although they did not know why the leader, Lord Master Xuantian, wanted to take action against the Nongjia, it must be that the Nongjia had offended the leader. As members of the Yin-Yang School, they must help the leader vent this anger and destroy the Nongjia.

Su Xuan accepted the kindness of the many Yin-Yang School disciples but did not agree.

In fact, he had never put the Nongjia in his eyes, and destroying the Nongjia did not require so many people.

If he really wanted to destroy the Nongjia by numbers, wouldn't it be better to just agree to Ying Zheng's army trampling the Nongjia?

Let the Moon God temporarily manage the affairs of the Yin-Yang School.

Su Xuan took the Eastern Sovereign, the five great elders, Yan Yan Lingji, and a purple-haired girl who had recently joined the Yin-Yang School, and headed toward the Nongjia territory.

The Eastern Sovereign Yan Fei and the five great elders were all masters. Yan Yan Lingji was also the person who had followed Su Xuan to the Yin-Yang School. Although she was from the Fire Department, her status was special, and her position was not below the Fire Department Elder Da Da Siming.

It was not particularly strange for Su Xuan to bring these people along with him.

The only odd thing was that he had also brought along a purple-haired girl who had only recently joined the Yin-Yang School.

The girl possessed a rare aptitude—the Wood Spirit Body—giving her the potential to become a Five-Spirit Profound Child. However, that was all. While Five-Spirit Profound Children were rare, the Yin-Yang School had special methods to identify such constitutions, and due to the years of war, many had been recruited into the school over time.

Why, then, did the Sect Master favor this purple-haired girl enough to keep her specifically by his side?

Many could not understand.

Even Lady Yan and the Five Elders did not understand.

Only Yan Yan Lingji, who had followed Su Xuan the longest and knew him better than anyone, disregarded his status as the Yin-Yang School Sect Master and asked him directly, "You brought this little girl along specifically—don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her~~?"

She could not help but size up the purple-haired girl; although her face was covered by a white veil, she indeed had the potential to become a "femme fatale."

Su Xuan appeared uninterested in women.

But Yan Yan Lingji knew this was merely a facade; in private, Su Xuan was not nearly so upright.

As for how Yan Yan Lingji knew this?

Naturally, it was because she had been put through the wringer by him.

She considered herself a martial artist, with a constitution far stronger than that of an ordinary, delicate woman, yet under Su Xuan, she still found herself unable to endure his demands.

It could only be said that Su Xuan's strength was so immense that his stamina far exceeded that of a normal person.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan Lingji could not help but glance at the purple-haired girl again. The girl was so soft and weak—could she withstand Su Xuan's torment?

Su Xuan noticed Yan Yan Lingji's gaze toward the girl and could not help but offer an explanation: "You're overthinking it. I simply feel her aptitude is not bad, so I intend to keep her by my side to offer some guidance."

"Really?"

Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan with a face full of disbelief.

If it were merely about having good aptitude, there were plenty of people in the Yin-Yang School with such talent; why hadn't she seen Su Xuan guiding them one by one?

Well, that wasn't entirely true; Su Xuan had guided them, after all, having held two lectures.

Su Xuan knew Yan Yan Lingji would find this explanation hard to believe, but he said nothing more.

He did have some selfish motives for keeping the purple-haired girl by his side. He could hardly say that in the original story, this person eventually became the Young Master of the Yin-Yang School, and upon her first appearance, she had been one of the characters he liked most.

The reason he brought her along this time was, first, because the Yin-Yang School had recruited her into the sect according to his orders, and second, due to his own personal bias.

Not far away, Lady Yan also heard Su Xuan praising the girl's talent and could not help but take another look at her.

In Lady Yan's view, the purple-haired girl's talent was merely average.

Could it be that the girl possessed some undiscovered potential?

As a woman of extraordinary skill in Yin-Yang arts, Lady Yan was immensely talented and was indeed qualified to judge the aptitude of a "Five-Spirit Profound Child" as average. However, because Su Xuan had said those words, she could only conclude that he possessed a unique insight, seeing things she could not.

The movements of the Nong Family were extremely secretive, but after Su Xuan had successively captured the six Elders of the Nong Family and the Heroic Leader Tian Guang, finding their whereabouts was not actually a difficult task.

The Nong Family was employed by Lord Lord Changping, who was a man of Chu; logically, the Nong Family would most likely be hiding in the State of Chu.

But in reality, this was not the case.

The headquarters of the Nong Family was in the State of Qin, hidden within the Dong Commandery.

Dong Commandery was a new commandery established during the time when Lu Lu Buwei was in power, after he ordered General Meng Ao to attack Wei and capture twenty cities in the eastern territory of Wei. The Battle of Puyang, which left a deep impression on Jing Ke, was an episode that occurred during this war.

This battle was also Meng Ao's final one; less than two years after it, Meng Ao passed away.

Aside from the ancestral grounds of the Nong Family, the Six Sages Tomb, which was hidden in the Daze Mountains.

The six halls of the Nong Family were all situated among the rolling mountains of Dong Commandery. The distance between the six halls was not great, and each occupied a mountain peak.

At this time, the Nong Family had not yet split, solely because the Heroic Leader Tian Guang was in power.

But even so, there was constant strife and undercurrents within the six halls. If Tian Guang were no longer there, the conflicts between the six halls would likely erupt into the open immediately.

Therefore, to prevent the internal conflicts of the Nong Family from erupting, Su Xuan decided to be a "good person" this time.

He would wipe out all six halls of the Nong Family in one fell swoop.

He would not give them the chance for their conflicts to erupt.

Su Xuan, accompanied by Lady Yan, the Five Elders, Yan Yan Lingji, and the purple-haired girl—exactly ten people—soon arrived in the land of Dong Commandery. As for why there were ten people? It was the same issue: the Five Elders of the Yin-Yang School actually consisted of six people.

"This is the place!"

Arriving beside a stream and looking at the vast mountains ahead, Su Xuan spoke softly.

Lady Yan, wearing her usual attire whose color never changed, stood quietly by Su Xuan's side, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and asked him, "Which hall do you intend to strike first?"

The Nong Family had six halls and numerous disciples, while their own numbers were few. To destroy the Nong Family, they could only strike one hall at a time.
