He asked casually:
What if it really is true?
Huang Yaoshi's expression changed.
The clasped hands tightened slightly.
A flash of anger crossed his eyes.
But calm soon returned.
He took a deep breath.
"If you wish to pursue this matter, please name your reasons, and I, Huang, will be ready to see it through to the end!"
His tone and expression, however, were unusually solemn.
He has even broken through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.
He has his own pride.
It's simply because they couldn't see through Ximen Yu's true nature.
I had some concerns earlier.
(Maintain the original narrative logic, adjust sentence structure, remove redundant descriptions, and highlight details of character interactions)
People in the martial arts world have always disregarded life and death.
After all, the Nine Provinces are so vast that no one can guarantee that they won't provoke powerful enemies.
But what worries him most right now is—
My precious daughter is still here!
It would be one thing if he lost his own life.
If anything were to happen to my daughter...
How can he face his deceased wife in the afterlife?
The air in the courtyard grew increasingly heavy.
Nine figures appeared like ghosts.
The person the leader was carrying...
It was the hidden sentry in the inn who was monitoring Ximen Yu.
He was already covered in wounds by this moment.
Huang Yaoshi trembled violently.
My back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He is absolutely an unparalleled expert!
"Are you a high-ranking member of the Azure Dragon Society?"
Chuan Ying casually tossed the prisoner aside.
His sharp eyes scanned the crowd.
The final image focused on Ximen Yu.
This person was the only one in the room who remained calm and composed.
But this made Chuanying's heart pound wildly.
He couldn't see through the other person at all!
This discovery sent chills down his spine.
He hasn't left the mountain for decades.
Has the martial arts world become so terrifying?
Such cultivation level is achieved by a mere high-ranking member of the Azure Dragon Society?
That large dragon head, Ximen Yu...
What kind of terrifying existence must it be?
This thought also crossed the minds of Li Gong and others.
Their shock was even greater than that of the eagle.
His expression was extremely grave.
If Ximen Yu knew what they were thinking...
They'd probably burst out laughing on the spot.
If I'm not mistaken,
"Are you all the protectors and retainers of the Great Sui Dynasty?"
Xi Menyu calmly raised his eyes.
His tone was as calm as still water.
But his words revealed an undeniable firmness.
"Such a confident tone suggests you must be a core member of the Azure Dragon Society."
Chuan Ying nodded noncommittally.
Chapter 47 Intelligence
Then the tone suddenly changed.
"I wonder if the Azure Dragon Society sells intelligence?"
"What information do you wish to obtain?"
Ximen Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, revealing a hint of interest.
Three questions.
"Firstly, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on the Sui Emperor and the forces associated with him."
Secondly, what is the current whereabouts of Ling Donglai?
Thirdly, what is the cultivation level of your esteemed leader, the Great Dragon King? Where is he located?
Chuan Ying asked three questions without hesitation.
A barely perceptible smile flickered in Ximen Yu's eyes.
Of the three questions, only asking about Ling Donglai was relatively normal.
The other two, however, had an inexplicable strangeness about them.
Not to mention that the Great Dragon Head himself was standing right in front of him.
The mere act of inquiring about the leader of the Azure Dragon Society is utterly absurd.
Even more absurdly, they actually inquired with the Green Dragon Society about the assassin who killed Yang Guang—
Didn't he ever consider that the real culprit might very well be the Green Dragon Society?
Jiang Yuyan, Baoqin, and Lu Linxuan
Along with the four sword attendants, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum,
They were all rendered speechless by this absurd question.
The look in Chuanying's eyes was full of strangeness.
This person has probably gone mad from practicing martial arts.
091-Ximen Yu: The Green Dragon Society has no need for useless people! (Please customize)
He took in everyone's reactions.
Chuan Ying frowned in confusion.
He then kept a close eye on Ximen Yu, waiting for his reply.
"What's the price?"
Ximen Yu did not keep him waiting long.
But the corners of his mouth, I don't know when...
The curve has already begun to show a playful quality.
"A thousand-year-old medicinal herb!"
Chuan Ying responded in a deep voice.
On the way here,
He had already calculated the price he would have to pay.
Originally, the plan was only to exchange it for a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb.
But after meeting Ximen Yu,
That thought vanished instantly.
Furthermore, out of reverence for the Azure Dragon Society,
He doubled his chips.
After all, if a mere "high-ranking member" of the Azure Dragon Society is so unfathomable,
How terrifying must the foundation of the entire Azure Dragon Society be?
Faced with such a massive force.
Even someone as proud as him had to act cautiously.
Master Huang Yaoshi and his wife acted as bystanders.
Hear these words.
My heart skipped a beat.
They were astonished by Chuan Ying's lavish spending and the exorbitant price of the Qinglong Society's intelligence.
But more than anything, it was fear of Ximen Yu, a "high-ranking" member of the Qinglong Society.
They remember it clearly.
I (my daughter) had offended the other party before.
The Azure Dragon Society has always been ruthless and merciless in its actions.
It's inevitable to feel worried.
All eyes were on Ximen Yu.
No one paid them any attention.
Ximen Yu shook his head calmly.
The tone was relaxed and casual.
It was like a thousand-year-old elixir that everyone dreamed of.
In his eyes, it was nothing more than an ordinary thing.
This is indeed the case.
With the power of the system.
Over the years, the treasures he has signed for have piled up into a mountain.
There are countless things even more precious than millennia-old elixirs.
As long as he lets out even the slightest hint.
That alone would be enough to unleash a bloodbath across the Nine Provinces.
How could a mere thousand-year-old elixir move him?
