Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and didn't dodge at all.
Yu Liangping felt a surge of joy. At this moment, he no longer cared about any consequences, his sole thought was to first kill Yun Jin and Yu Songnian.
The attacks from the others arrived almost simultaneously.
Just as they were about to strike Yun Jin.
A barrier appeared in front of her. All the attacks instantly vanished without a trace.
Yu Liangping's expression instantly changed drastically.
He looked up, only to see that the holy land disciples and the people of Yuehua Sect had followed over at some point.
The one who had just acted was unmistakably Mu Lan!
The Supreme Elder of their sect!
Yu Liangping immediately began to stammer, "Elder, they framed my father. I was only—"
However, when his eyes met Mu Lan's icy gaze, he could't continue. A dejected expression appeared on his face.
Mu Lan said expressionlessly, "Yu Lin's crimes were personally witnessed by us all and heard with our own ears. There is no possibility of fabrication."
Yu Liangping's heart skipped a beat. He tightly gripped the sword in his hand, at a loss for words.
"Elder Mu," Yun Jin looked at Yu Liangping. "Your Yuehua Sect has been quite close with the Yu Family. Yu Lin committed such disgraceful acts, did Yuehua Sect truly know nothing?"
Mu Lan's heart jolted. He looked at Yun Jin, "What do you mean?"
Yun Jin smiled, "This Yu Liangping is still a disciple of your Yuehua Sect. Just now, he wanted to put us to death. And these people, weren't they attacking together with Yu Liangping? I now suspect that your Yuehua Sect is also colluding with the evil cultivators. Yu Lin was one of your pawns, and Yu Liangping was the link connecting you. Regarding this, shouldn't Elder Mu give an explanation?"
Mu Lan's expression instantly turned ugly.
This Yun Jin!
She's trying to drag Yuehua Sect down?
Mu Lan glanced at the panic-stricken Yu Liangping and suddenly realized something.
He snorted coldly and casually waved his hand.
An irresistible force descended.
Yu Liangping, along with the few who had just attacked, instantly turned into ashes. Not even their Nascent Souls managed to escape.
Mu Lan had directly killed them.
Yun Jin wasn't surprised. She smiled and said, "In that case, there's no longer any evidence. Then let this matter end here."
Mu Lan glanced at her and retreated to the back.
Yun Jin had deliberately spoken that way simply to force him to personally kill Yu Liangping and the others.
Yu Liangping was nothing more than an ordinary disciple. If not for the sword tomb of the Yu Family, he probably wouldn't even know such a disciple existed.
Now that he's been killed, he's been killed, nothing of value was lost.
Only.
Yun Jin's method still left him extremely displeased.
Endure it a little longer!
Once that secret treasury is opened… it will be Yun Jin's time to die!
Then he would make her regret everything!
Yun Jin couldn't be bothered with Mu Lan's thoughts. She looked at the remaining Yu Family disciples, some terrified, some confused, still unable to process the sudden changes.
Yun Jin said nothing more. She stepped back and returned the stage to Third Senior Brother.
Yu Songnian calmly swept his gaze over the others and said slowly, "From this day onward, I am the patriarch. Does anyone object?"
Ordinarily, to become patriarch, one would at least need cultivation at Fusion Stage.
But just now, everyone had seen in the recording how Yu Songnian had beaten the Fusion Stage Yu Lin to death with his bare fists.
At this moment, naturally, no one objected.
"If there are no objections," Yu Songnian said calmly, "then from now on, the Yu Family is under my authority. I've heard that in these past years, you've been extremely arrogant here in Lin City, bullying men and women alike. Today, upon assuming the position of patriarch, the first thing I will do is rectify the family rules. I will rewrite the family rules. Anyone who has violated them in recent years will punish themselves accordingly. After the punishment, you will still be Yu Family disciples. I will personally execute those who have committed capital crimes. All rules take effect from today!"
The crowd immediately stirred.
The vast majority of them had committed some mistakes over the years. If Yu Songnian were to settle accounts like this, most of them would likely face punishment.
"Those with objections may speak now," Yu Songnian said.
These people looked at Yun Jin behind Yu Songnian, then at the group of people behind Yun Jin.
They chickened out.
If they obediently accepted punishment, there's still a way to live. If they resisted, it would truly be a dead end.
"Looks like no one objects," Yu Songnian said indifferently. "Then so be it."
He looked at the Yu Family disciples and pointed out several people, "The few of you will come with me to implement the family rules and supervise their enforcement."
The few who were named looked somewhat bewildered.
Yu Songnian said, "I've been mingling in the city these past few days. Among the common people, you all have fairly good reputations."
Clearly, Yu Songnian hadn't been idle during these days. He had long had a plan for rectifying the Yu Family.
Only then did those people breathe a sigh of relief and respectfully agree.
"Elder Mu, when my senior brother rectifies the family rules, there will inevitably be some who refuse to behave. These next few days, follow my senior brother," Yun Jin looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan's expression changed.
Is this Yun Jin ordering him?
"Don't want to? Then the matter of opening the secret treasury—"
Duan Yiwei glanced at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan gritted his teeth, "I understand."
Only then did Yun Jin nod in satisfaction, "As long as Elder Mu cooperates well with my Third Senior Brother, once the others arrive, we will set off immediately. Otherwise, I'm not in the slightest hurry about when to open the secret treasury."
Duan Yiwei snorted coldly and said nothing.
He even wished he could use a teleportation talisman to bring over the people Yun Jin was waiting for.
But clearly.
Even if they were brought over, it would be useless.
Yun Jin intended to use their presence to help Yu Songnian reorganize the Yu Family.
If this matter wasn't fully dealt with, then even if everyone arrived, it would still be pointless.
Fortunately, it's only a small clan. With Mu Lan suppressing them, it should be resolved quickly.
"Now, everyone follow me to the mausoleum," Yu Songnian said.
The Yu Family disciples all responded.
"Junior Sister Yun, we won't be going over," Jin Yu said. "If there's anything else you need help with, feel free to tell me. We'll stay at that inn."
"Right, we're free anyway."
Ye Liuqin and Cheng Su also expressed goodwill.
Yun Jin smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. My Eldest Senior Brother and the others will probably take about seven days to arrive. In seven days, Third Senior Brother's matters here should also be finished. I can also take this opportunity to go into seclusion and break through to Nascent Soul Stage. Seven days later, that will be the day we depart."
At last, there's a fairly definite time.
Duan Yiwei also relaxed slightly and said coldly, "There'd better not be any more accidents."
As for Yun Jin breaking through to Nascent Soul Stage, he didn't care at all.
In front of him and so many experts, was there really any difference between Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage?
Those who should die would still die!
Yun Jin merely smiled, "Presumably, there won't be any more accidents."
Duan Yiwei narrowed his eyes and turned to leave. The others also bid Yun Jin farewell one after another.
Yun Jin followed Yu Songnian to the graveyard.
Yu Songnian took out Yu Feng and the others' remains and buried them separately.
Afterward, he led the Yu Family in solemn worship.
Yun Jin also lit a stick of incense for Yu Songnian's father.
When everything was handled, Yu Songnian looked at Yun Jin, his gaze gentle, "Little Junior Sister, this time—"
He wanted to say thank you, but after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say it.
Between them, saying thanks would be too shallow.
Yun Jin smiled, "Third Senior Brother, your strength was forcibly elevated just now. You probably won't be able to use spiritual power for a short time."
Yu Songnian was somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry. I lost control for a moment and might delay matters regarding the secret realm."
"It won't delay anything." Yun Jin looked at Mu Lan. "Elder Mu, you've seen my Third Senior Brother's condition. Take out some pills to treat him. Remember, make sure they're effective. Otherwise, if the opening of the secret realm is delayed, no one will let you off."
Mu Lan: "..."
