Chapter Sixteen: The Avenging Blade

  "What?"

  "Is this impossible?"

  "This was the mechanism built by the ancestor of the Mohist school, only people inside can see outside, while outsiders absolutely cannot see inside."

  Everyone present was shocked by Danmei's words. Bixiu Xuan, Bianbuzhi and Wen Caiting even loudly questioned her.

  Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible either. Yu'er has just broken through to the 17th level of Tianmo Dafa, and her essence, energy, and spirit have reached their peak. With her essence and energy scattered outside, Tianmo Dafa also emphasizes spiritual power, so it wouldn't be surprising if she could discover you."

  Everyone present did not refute what Zhu Yuanyan said. The "Tianmo Strategy" has always been passed down through the main family line, and except for Zhu Yuanyan and Yunyun, no one else in the room is qualified to practice it, so they don't understand the Tianmo Great Law very well. They can only believe what Zhu Yuanyan said. However, Yunyun looked at Zhu Yuanyan with a strange expression, but she didn't say anything either.

  Dawn Plum continued: "Looking at Wang Yu's performance, he is already advancing and retreating with ease, with a strong sense of leadership. Moreover, his talent is extraordinary, breaking through to the 17th level of the Tianmo Great Law at the age of 18. With such talent, it's likely that he will surpass our Sect Master, and in the history of our Holy Gate, only Lingling can suppress him. The most important thing is that Wang Yu must have a terrifying intelligence organization behind him. Information like Yang Dingtian's wife and Changsun Wuguang's news, even our Yin Kuai faction didn't know, but Wang Yu was able to understand it beforehand. This shows that the new dynasty is absolutely not as weak as we imagined. There must be an unknown hidden force within the new dynasty, and this force is clearly loyal to Wang Yu. Since that's the case, we don't need to turn our heads to support others anymore. Based on the current situation, Wang Yu is indeed our best choice."

  At this remark, everyone was unable to refute. Because for Yang Dingtian's wife and Chang Sun Wuque, the Yin Kui faction really didn't know the news beforehand. After investigating and confirming, they were all shocked one by one.

  Xiangxiang looked at Danmei with surprise and said, "Aunt Mei usually doesn't talk much, but every time she does, she always gets straight to the point."

  Danmei is a veteran of the Yin Gui faction, although she is the youngest among the four Mei, but compared to Lingling, her age is also about half older. Because Danmei and Lingling have a good relationship, so Lingling usually calls Danmei "Mei Auntie". Like the other three of the Four Mei, Lingling has always only called them "Elder".

  Zhu Yuanyan seemed to have made up her mind as well, saying: "Ci Hang Jing Zhai has the courage to put all his eggs in Li Tang's basket. Can't my Yin Gu Pai do better than Ci Hang Jing Zhai? In that case, I, Yin Gu Pai, will make a unanimous decision and fully support Wang Yu in ascending to the throne of the new dynasty."

  Everyone in the room exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering, but they still stood up and chorused: "Obeying the Lord's order." No matter what, Zhu Yu Xian was the leader of the Yin Gui Sect, with an unshakeable position within the sect. Openly opposing Zhu Yu Xian? They didn't have that kind of courage yet. But as for private actions behind closed doors, that was a different story.

  ……

  The moon was high in the sky, Wang Yu sat cross-legged in his room. Suddenly he opened his eyes and said loudly: "Come in."

  The gate didn't move, but a person flew in from the open window. Wearing black clothes and a mask, with a slender figure.

  Wang Yu's face broke into a smile as he stood up to pour a cup of tea for the man in black, handing it to him after he sat down, saying: "Aunt Mei, you're here."

  The black-clad man pulled down his mask, revealing a stunning face, with silver hair faintly visible behind him. It was Dan Mei, the "Silver-Haired Enchantress" of Zhu Yu Yan's Four Enchantresses.

  Danmei took the tea from Wang Yu's hand and drank a mouthful, saying: "Young Master."

  Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yu interrupted her: "Aunt Mei, I've told you many times, don't call me Young Master, just call me Yu'er."

  "Hey, Yu'er, I know you respect Aunt Mei, but we have different identities and positions, so we still need to observe the proper etiquette."

  Wang Yu said: "Aunt Mei, you are my nanny, I was raised by you since childhood. There is no identity between us. You also know that my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to my third brother, and from then on, I regarded you as my own mother. You can also regard me as your own son."

  Dawn Plum placed both hands on Wang Yu's face, with tears welling up in her eyes: "Aunt Mei doesn't have such good fortune, to think that if my son were still alive, he would be about your age now."

  Dawn Plum was originally a widow in Chang'an City, her husband had sacrificed on the battlefield, and Dawn Plum raised her son alone. By coincidence, she became King Yu's wet nurse. There were many rumors about the widow, Dawn Plum was young and beautiful, and there was a rascal in Chang'an who had been having improper thoughts about Dawn Plum. One day, he finally couldn't bear it and used force on her. Dawn Plum refused to give in, but unexpectedly, the rascal had brought a knife with him. In the struggle between the two, they accidentally killed Dawn Plum's son.

  Dawn Plum suddenly encountered a great change, and overnight became white-headed. Fortunately, Wang Yu discovered it in time and ordered someone to catch that rascal, letting Dawn Plum take revenge with her own hands. However, from then on, Dawn Plum's temperament also underwent a great change, being cold as ice to everyone except for Wang Yu, whom she devoted herself to wholeheartedly. Wang Yu had someone select several martial arts secret manuals from the imperial palace and give them to Dawn Plum, not expecting that Dawn Plum would turn out to be a martial arts prodigy. Although limited by her age, it was impossible to achieve too much, but at that time, she already reached the level of a second-rate master in the Jianghu.

  Until Wang Yu was six years old, he met Zhu Yuyan and decided to worship Zhu Yuyan as his master. Danmei wanted to repay the kindness, besides following Wang Yu, Danmei had no other choice but to live a hopeless life, so Wang Yu had an idea, thinking of letting Danmei enter the Yin Gu Pai as his own spy. Keeping one more card in hand is always good, Wang Yu didn't naively believe that all members of the Yin Gu Pai were kind-hearted men and women, because his own overbearing aura was enough to make them help him wholeheartedly.

  After getting rid of the people in the palace who knew about Danmei's existence, Wang Yu arranged another encounter between Zhu Yuyan and Danmei. Under Zhu Yuyan's invitation, Danmei naturally entered the Yin Gu Pai. And because of her loyalty to Zhu Yuyan, she was promoted to one of the four most powerful members under Zhu Yuyan in over a decade. Zhu Yuyan also bestowed upon Danmei some internal martial arts skills from the Yin Gu Pai, although not as supreme as the "Tian Mo Ce", they were still rare and precious manuals on the Jianghu. Over the years, Danmei continued to cultivate and had now become one of the top masters in the Jianghu.

  Today, Wang Yu smiled in the direction of the bookshelf, precisely because Dan Mei had reminded him earlier.

  After listening to Danmei's description of today's Yin Gu conference, Wang Yu sneered: "Bai Shou Xuan and Bian Bu Fu, you're really looking for death. Originally, I wanted to spare your lives for the sake of our master, but now it seems that can't be done."

  Danmei said worriedly: "Yu'er, you must be careful. Although your Tianmo Dafa has broken through to the 17th level, it's not easy to deal with Bixiu Xuan and Bian Wufei either. Bixiu Xuan is the sect master's shifu, after so many years of accumulation, his cultivation is deep and immeasurable. Bian Wufei is also known as the 'First Genius under the Evil King' within the Demon Gate, neither of them are easy to deal with."

  Wang Yu sneered: "A local chicken and a tile dog, not worth fighting."
