Chapter 15: The "Bloody Lotus"

Yu Yuan didn’t feel like he did anything wrong.

Was it his fault that the two clans had to meet each other with fists and swords?it is not literary fists and swords, but an exaggeration of being involved in a conflict.

Yin Jue was his future father-in-law’s loyal servant, yet Yin Jue repeatedly attempted to kill him. Aside from the Cold Shadows Sect, Lin Hanyu must also have encouraged him!

If Lin Hanyu did not permit him to do so, in other words, if he did not sense Lin Hanyu’s encouragement, he would not have been so stubborn.

Now, after Yin Jue died, Lin Hanyu came to the Dark Moon City to take down the Yu Clan by force.

He not only wanted to force the grandfather to revoke the marriage agreement but also wanted to take the Ice Soul Crystal and would punish the person who killed Yin Jue.

But Yin Jue was the one that tried to kill Yu Yuan in the middle of the night!

Why?

Why should the Yu Clan be obedient and suffer in such injustice?!

If people didn’t give bullies like the Cold Shadows Sect, the Lin Clan, and Lin Hanyu a lesson, these bastards would only be more unscrupulous and abusive.

Therefore, Yu Yuan was determined to kill them in the most painful way he could.

“Despicable!”

Lin Zhuyun’s cold stare came across the few dozen meters toward them. Her pupils became ice-white.

The fierce force of cold spiritual powers scatters from her body, and the piece of ice jade hanging from her waist emitted a blinding white light.

Inside the ice jade, countless tiny words instantly become active!

Seconds later, the small words flew out of the jade and magnified into shiny cold daggers.

Then, these icy daggers swirling around her, forming a silky web of defense.

Yu Li, who was just about to rush up to her, stopped in horror, “Another Spiritual Class weapon! How can they afford such powerful weapons? How?”

“This is not from our clan. This Ice Web is a spiritual weapon gifted by the Cold Shadows Sect.” Lin Zhuyun looked at her calmly, “With a cultivator at the late stage of Yellow Hall Realm, unless you have another weapon of the same realm, you will never be able to break it open, and also, with the use of this weapon, people from the Cold Shadows Sect can sense that I am in danger. In no time, they will come to rescue.”

With a slight pause, she continued, “If my instinct is right, there should a powerful elder of the Cold Shadows Sect just outside of the city!”

Yu Li’s made a weird expression.

“A senior from the Cold Shadows Sect is on the way?” The corner of Yu Yuan twitched in a sarcastic manner. “Looks like you know that people from the Cold Shadows Sect had been commending him for killing me twice. Oh, so I deserve to die in your mind anyways right? You don’t know how to kill me yourself, so you let Yin Jue do it.”

He suddenly understood why.

He understood how his fiancée was thinking of him in her heart.

“You should never be born!”

Lin Hanyu shouted, “You bastard wasted my daughter’s valuable life for so many years and now you want to waste her whole life?! No matter how smart you can be, or who you have behind your back, you are nowhere close to being fit for my daughter! Hand over the antidote, and I’ll promise to only kill you, leaving the rest of the Yu Clan alone!”

Boom!

A bright yellow beam of light extended from his chest, boosting his powers once again.

In the meantime, he spat out a mouth full of blood.

He forced the Qi out from the Dark Door out, yet that accelerated the poison into reaching his organs.

He was clearly risking his own life to control the enemy as fast as possible.

“Anyone in my way shall die!”

Mixing the powers from Yellow Moon Sword and the light from his Dark Room, Lin Hanyu seemed, at this moment, undefeatable.

Crack!

An elder at the beginning stage of the Yellow Hall Realm was severed into pieces.

The retainers didn’t even have time to scream.

The yellow spiritual light mixed with the yellow Qi that powered the Yellow Moon Sword made the weapon like a moon that was lit in the hall, ready to take the lives of everyone in the Yu Clan.

The old clan members and retainers were petrified.

Even the two brothers, Yu Wei and Yu Lian, who were at the beginning and middle Stages of the Yellow Hall Realm, were burning the last bit of their energy to protect the clan.

“Hey.”

With a sigh, the two brothers still wanted to risk again taking over Lin Hanyu.

Behind the two brothers, Yu Yuan watched as Lin Zhuyun activated her Ice Web forcing everyone out of her way. He suddenly raised his voice and said toward the outside of the hall, “Are you just going to watch this progress?”

“What! More are coming?” Yu Can nervously looked around while sitting in his wheelchair. He said in a shaky voice, “Please don’t tell me that the Senior had been watching the whole time…”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Many blinding red lotuses floated in from outside.

Each red lotus was crafted from precious Crimson Crystals, cut to reflect light in every direction.

Crash! Boom!

Nine red lotuses crashed into Lin Hanyu’s bright “moon” formed from his spirit.

The “moon” was shattered and soon dissolved into the thin air.

The nine lotuses also shrunk into the size of fingernails.

Only then did people notice that the nine lotuses were like nine small clusters of flames, surrounding a graceful woman.

“Yuan Lianyao!”

“Lady Mayoress!”

“How can this be the leader of this city?” Lin Hanyu shouted.

Yu Can was shocked, and the rest of the Yu Clan were also overjoyed.

“You, how do you know that I am here?” Yuan Lianyao ignored all others and looked directly at Yu Yuan, “I hid my presence on purpose. With your cultivation, you shouldn’t be able to tell that I am here. Even Lin’s second son didn’t notice, how can you?”

“It’s not I that sensed you, the poison from the Red Shelled Pill did.” Yu Yuan solemnly bowed as he explained the process. “It is a pleasure to see you again. We are in the Dark Moon City, and the Lin Clan is a mass killing in our clan. Sister Mayoress, please give us the justice we deserve!”

“Sister… Mayoress?” The corner of Yuan Lianyao’s mouth curled into a weird arc. This title seemed a bit strange. “As far as I can tell, you are the murderous man in the Dark Moon City. Lin’s second son is a bit aggressive, but isn’t it you, the young master of the Yu Clan, who released the poison first?”

After he woke up, he killed Yin Jue, convinced her father to kill Lu Kun, and now he wanted to kill the two from the Lin Clan. What did this kid want to do?

As for what her father had told her, Yuan Lianyao only believed some of it.

That was because she couldn’t believe all of her crazy father’s words.

She wanted to see Yu Yuan with her own eyes to confirm.

“You don’t understand the backstory!” Yu Yuan shouted, “Lady Mayoress, Lin Clan‘s follower Yin Jue tried to murder me repeatedly, and my fiancee, who knew it all, has done nothing to prevent it from happening. If it isn’t because of my excellent luck, I would’ve been long dead. You are the leader of the Dark Moon City. Please support our clan!”

Yu Can and the others quietly watched in a sense of absurdity as Yu Yuan accused the Lin Clan.

Didn’t this kid know that Yuan Lianyao was famous for siding with the powerful and oppressing the weak? She got to the position of the Mayoress just because she eliminated all her competitors in such a ruthless way.

Asking for her support for the weak Yu Clan was such a joke. Was Yu Yuan trying to make fun of her?

“Let me guess, you just want to buy time by reasoning with me.” Yuan Lianyao said coldly.

Everyone soon noticed that the fierce-looking Lin Hanyu now looked like a deflated ball.

Lin Hanyu was exhausted. His face gradually became pale, and his eyes became bleak.

This was obviously a sign of deep poisoning!

“Yuan Lianyao!”

Lin Hanyu gritted his teeth like a trapped beast on the verge of death. “If you have not come, I would’ve forced Yu Yuan to give me the antidote already! It is you who broke my Yellow Moon Lightwheel and made me be like this! The poison has penetrated into my organs. Looks like I am just going end here in the Yu Clan.”

“But your trouble has just started!”

“My elder brother, the entire Lin Clan, and the Cold Shadows Sect will all give you some tough times! You and Yu Clan will inevitably face their anger!”

These words were filled with endless rage.

“Father!”

Lin Zhuyun, protected by her Ice Web, suddenly screamed; her cold eyes filled the light of hatred.

“Hand over the Red Shelled Pill’s antidote!” Yuan Lianyao slowly walked toward Yu Yuan.

“Lady Mayoress!”

Yu Wei and others of the Yu Clan tried to stop her.

“Hem?”

Yuan Lianyao looked displeased. She frowned, and said coldly, “Get out of my way!”

“Step aside!” Yu Can commend.

Everyone including Yu Wei stepped aside as they were told.

Yuan Lianyao, with her way being cleared, stood in front of Yu Yuan, staring at him with interest. She held out her jade-like hand and said firmly, “Quick, take out the antidote for the Red Shelled Pill. If you don’t want to, the whole Yu Clan will be doomed, so I suggest you just listen to my advice.”

Yu Yuan did not show any weakness, staring straight back at her, “Lady Mayoress, are you… threatening me?”

Yuan Lianyao was just about to say “yes”, but then she suddenly remembered what happened to Lin Hanyu, who had threatened him just then. The toxin had penetrated into his organs, and would soon die if the antidote was not given.

She suddenly remembered that facing the threat, Yu Yuan’s arrogant nature would probably rather let both sides fight to the very end.

“That’s not a threat! Just a simple suggestion, a kind suggestion.” Yuan Lianyao changed what she was going to say at the last second. To assure Yu Yuan that she was not faking it, she even added in a sweet tone, “If you want my support, then just listen to my advice. Okay?”

The last word, “Okay”, even came with a slightly pleading tone.

Every Yu Clan member and retainer were all stunned by what they saw.

What was going on?

A beautiful slime with a sweet-sounding tone… Was she still the Bloody Lotus of the Dark Moon City?
