"Do you remember what you promised me before you left?"
Tu Shan Ya Ya was speechless and fell silent.
But seeing Lin Yu's uncompromising expression, he could only nod sullenly.
She knew in her heart that if Lin Yu really disagreed, he could easily knock her unconscious with his strength, and then she would be helpless.
"I understand. Then come back early. Don't cause trouble at the Celestial Academy, or I'll tell my sister."
Tu Shan Ya Ya spoke with a false sense of power, trying to save face for herself.
"Ah."
Lin Yu gave a simple reply and turned to leave.
The distance between Tianxian Academy and the martial arts school is not far; one is at one end of the street and the other at the other.
Perhaps it was intentional to make the most dangerous place the safest place. In any case, with the strength of the Silver Moon Guardians, as long as they are careful and do not use their demonic power on ordinary days, they are quite safe.
Upon arriving at the Celestial Immortal Courtyard, it was as bustling as ever, with the incessant sounds of lewd women filling the air, truly a place of debauchery in broad daylight.
Lin Yu strode forward, and soon a madam warmly greeted him.
Before leaving Tushan, Tushan Honghong made thorough preparations for everything.
Besides the tokens, there were also many pills that Cui Yuling could help prepare to aid in cultivation, as well as a large amount of money.
It can be said that every aspect has been taken into consideration.
That's why Lin Yu felt no pressure at all coming to a high-end place like Tianxian Academy.
Soon, with Lin Yu's generous spending, he became a rare and distinguished guest.
Despite the flattery from the crowd, Lin Yu discreetly gathered information.
It is said that money can make the devil turn the millstone. After Lin Yu expressed his admiration for the immortal, a guy dressed in a Taoist robe came over with an arrogant expression.
However, after spending some money, the so-called arrogance vanished, replaced by enthusiasm.
These lowest-level cultivators, with no hope of cultivation, only think about making money.
Over drinks, Lin Yu easily obtained the information.
"Some time ago, there was a guy who colluded with the demon race, harmed a lot of people, and then fled to Tushan."
"It's not easy to anger those big shots above. I heard they're going to take action against Tushan soon. When that happens, we'll be able to replace our Heavenly Immortal Academy's merchandise with a new batch. I'll save the good stuff for you then."
Lin Yu smiled, raised his glass, and echoed twice, then asked with some doubt.
"This kind of news about an impending war should be highly confidential, so knowing about it shouldn't cause any trouble."
"Hey, what's the big deal? So many people know, it won't make a difference if you keep spreading rumors."
"Besides, would our Heavenly Immortal Academy know about this if we didn't have some connections? Those powerful families up there all have connections with us."
"Moreover, the most important thing is to capture the fox demon. Otherwise, who would do something without some benefit? If a war were to break out, it wouldn't be so easy."
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, trying to decipher the meaning behind the other person's words.
"Speaking of which, I am very interested in the affairs of immortals. Immortal Master, you might as well tell me more about them. What about the patriarchs of noble families?"
"This is a long story."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu smiled and handed over a gold ingot, which immediately made the other party beam with joy and began to speak.
After leaving the Celestial Academy, return to the martial arts school.
Tu Shan Ya Ya noticed the commotion and ran up immediately.
Upon smelling the scent of rouge and powder on Lin Yu, she frowned, circled Lin Yu twice before feeling relieved, and asked somewhat anxiously.
"Have you found out any news?"
"Yes, I found out."
Lin Yu nodded. "Let's go inside and talk."
The two returned to their room, and Lin Yu briefly recounted the information he had gathered.
In fact, Lin Yu had always felt a little strange about the Heavenly Immortal Academy's positioning.
At first, he thought that the Celestial Academy was a folk organization composed of some hopeless cultivators who were afraid of death.
They profit from these unscrupulous voices, then pay money to the Dao Alliance so they can turn a blind eye.
However, in reality, the Celestial Academy is actually an organization under the Dao Alliance.
Behind it are many powerful families involved, with collusion and interests.
Among all these, the Heavenly Immortal Academy's greatest reliance is the Xiao family of the Dao Alliance.
These two words might seem unfamiliar on their own.
But if you change the name, it will be different.
Obsidian Inspector!
That's right, it's the same group of people who forced Mu Mie's father to his death during the Yang family's wedding in the original novel.
As the supervisors of the Dao Alliance, the Xiao family wielded considerable power within the alliance.
Those who wield law enforcement power are a thorn in the side of almost every powerful family.
Even a powerful family like the Yang family, who were humiliated by the Xiao family on their wedding day, still dared not directly retaliate, which shows how powerful the Xiao family is.
Otherwise, without his leadership, how could other powerful families have dared to engage in this kind of business of "colluding" with the demon race and making a lot of money?
This operation against Tushan was mainly spearheaded by the Xiao and Mu families.
Needless to say, the Mu family's patriarch died at Lin Yu's hands, and such deep-seated hatred cannot be easily resolved.
As for the Xiao family, and other families, they are only after their own interests.
With the Mu family taking the lead, it was the perfect opportunity for them to join forces and plunder Tushan.
Compared to other demon races, the fox demon's charm is far superior.
Who wouldn't want to try the taste of a fox spirit?
After listening to Lin Yu's description, Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes flashed with anger, and she slammed her hand on the table in front of her.
"These beasts!"
"Do they really think we, Tushan, are easy targets?!"
The Xiao family and other powerful families completely disregarded Tushan and treated their clansmen like commodities.
This behavior can no longer be described as humiliating; it's more like they simply don't take it seriously at all.
Unless there's a real war that breaks out, simply taking advantage of others won't cause any unrest or attract the attention of other demon kingdoms.
But this will definitely be a difficult challenge for Tushan.
Tu Shan Ya Ya was filled with rage, but Lin Yu remained silent, his mind racing with thoughts about the matter.
Compared to Tu Shan Ya Ya, Lin Yu could see further ahead.
Over a long period of time, anything can decay.
It's like the Sword Tomb of the Wang Quan family, or the Dao Alliance today.
From the beginning of the conflict between humans and demons, to the time when humans learned to make and use magical artifacts and established the Qi Dao Alliance.
Over a thousand years have passed, and the powerful families at the top of the pyramid hold immense power, control all resources, and enjoy unparalleled status.
Although many people sacrificed their lives in this process.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 99 Relieving the Siege of Wei by Luring the Snake Out of its Hole
They were willing to sacrifice themselves to fight against the demon race for the future of humanity.
However, as time went by, the Dao Alliance gradually began to decay internally.
The Xiao family is perhaps the most direct example of this.
Although the demon race still posed a threat from the outside world, things had been relatively peaceful for many years, which made some people restless.
If there are no external wars, then internal strife will begin.
On the day of the Yang family's wedding, forcing the groom to commit suicide was a tactic to strike at their rivals, deflate the Yang family's arrogance, and boost their own prestige.
Nowadays, the campaign against the demon race is no longer for the sake of the main purpose, but rather for the sake of minor gains.
Thinking about it this way, it might actually have been the right thing for me to have been just a casual pawn in the Martial Alliance before.
Compared to the gradually decaying Dao Alliance, a vibrant new organization is what humanity needs.
At least in the future, if I really do use force to suppress everything, someone will be able to share this responsibility.
The task of ensuring peaceful coexistence between humans and demons may fall to the Martial Alliance.
But those are things for later. The focus now is on the issues concerning the Xiao family and other prominent families.
How to help Tushan solve this problem requires careful consideration.
