The next day.
Yu Family.
People from Yuehua Sect arrived ahead of schedule.
Yuehua Sect appeared to place great importance on the Yu Family's sword domain. This time, in addition to Ma Yuanwu, several other sword dao geniuses also arrived together.
Even the person leading the group was a Mahayana Stage elder, which could be said to give the Yu Family more than enough face.
When the Yuehua Sect group arrived, the scene was extremely grand.
Nine Explosive Flame Tigers pulled the carriage. Each Yuehua Sect disciple looked high-spirited, and all the citizens of the city were required to stand on both sides to welcome them.
When the Yuehua Sect disciples descended, everyone had to kneel in unison to show respect.
The entire Yu Family had long been waiting at the city gate. As soon as the people arrived, Yu Lin and several Yu Family higher-ups hurried forward to receive them. Judging by their expressions, each one looked more servile than the last.
Yun Jin and Yu Songnian naturally didn't show themselves. The two hid in the shadows, watching this scene with different expressions.
"How arrogant. How despicable!" Yu Songnian squeezed out eight words through clenched teeth.
How arrogant! How despicable!
These words were directed at the Yu Family.
In front of mortals, how arrogant they were.
In front of Yuehua Sect, how despicable they were.
Fawning on those above while bullying those below, without a shred of integrity.
Every time Yu Songnian thought that this was the Yu Family his father had painstakingly managed for so many years, he felt a fire burning in his chest.
"Third Senior Brother, don't rush," Yun Jin said calmly. "The time is almost here."
In two more days, the sword tomb would open, and the sword domain would take shape.
At that time, the outcome would be decided.
Yuehua Sect putting on such a grand display indeed looked like they were fully confident, but Yun Jin didn't think she would lose.
However.
She wasn't afraid of losing, she was afraid that the Yu Family and Yuehua Sect would play dirty.
So.
Since Yuehua Sect wanted to promote their sect's sword dao genius, she would help them promote him thoroughly.
After Yuehua Sect members entered the city, Yun Jin and Yu Songnian also left the scene.
Over the next few days, it was unclear what Yuehua Sect and the Yu Family plotted together.
But the entire Canglan Kingdom became extremely lively.
Under Yuehua Sect's own promotion, the news that they were coming to the Yu Family to break the sword domain gradually spread.
Even Lin Ya received the news. He anxiously sent a message saying he would rush over immediately. Yun Jin temporarily calmed him down. After all, Tianxing Sect still needed her master to stay behind. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble Zhao Wuji might cause.
At the moment, aside from Lin Ya, no one could reliably suppress Zhao Wuji by force.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yun Jin wouldn't let Lin Ya come.
After the news spread, sword dao geniuses from all over Canglan Kingdom began gathering toward this place.
The Yu Family's sword domain hadn't been very famous before. Most participants were merely cultivators from nearby areas.
But this time, because of Yuehua Sect's involvement, the sword domain suddenly gained great notoriety.
Among cultivators, it was rumored that although the Yu Family was only a small cultivation clan, the treasure within the sword domain was likely extraordinary. Otherwise, Yuehua Sect wouldn't have personally sent people to break the sword domain.
Whether to watch the excitement or hoping to pick up leftovers, countless people headed toward Lin City.
Even the ruler of Canglan Kingdom personally dispatched experts.
What was subtle was that the expert sent by the Canglan Kingdom ruler was also a Mahayana Stage cultivator.
In terms of strength, this perfectly counterbalanced the Mahayana Stage cultivator from Yuehua Sect.
Moreover, Canglan Kingdom's Mahayana expert also brought along sword dao geniuses secretly cultivated by the kingdom. The most outstanding among them was Feng Linglong, said to possess an Innate Winde Body. Her sword techniques were extremely swift, and she wasn't inferior to Ma Yuanwu.
This news likewise spread throughout Canglan Kingdom in a very short time.
The intention of Canglan Kingdom's ruler was obvious.
He also wanted to intervene in this sword domain!
After receiving this news, Yun Jin felt half at ease.
In the cultivation world, secular power was far inferior to the power of cultivators.
But the nations here didn't rely solely on secular power. Canglan Kingdom itself was equivalent to a large sect. In terms of overall strength, it might be somewhat weaker than Yuehua Sect, but not by much.
Otherwise, Yuehua Sect wouldn't merely remotely control a single Lin City, they would have the entire Canglan Kingdom under their control.
With Yuehua Sect making such a grand gesture this time, whether to probe the situation or to obtain the treasure within the sword domain, the ruler of Canglan Kingdom would definitely intervene.
Canglan Kingdom versus Yuehua Sect.
Who would win and who would lose?
This had already become a common topic of gossip.
But most people favored Yuehua Sect.
The reason was very simple.
If they didn't have absolute confidence, why would Yuehua Sect act so high-profile?
They were deliberately inviting everyone to watch.
This showed just how confident Yuehua Sect was in Ma Yuanwu.
Yu Family.
Yu Lin felt slightly nervous.
"Elder, more and more people are arriving, and even Canglan Kingdom has sent people. Could something unexpected happen?"
The Yuehua Sect elder, Mu Lan, glanced calmly at Yu Lin, "What are you anxious about? No matter how many people there are, only Yuanwu can break this sword domain."
Ma Yuanwu, standing nearby, also revealed a confident smile.
Seeing this, Yu Lin hurriedly offered a few flattering words and didn't dare mention anything else.
Mu Lan brought Ma Yuanwu back to the room and casually set up a barrier.
He looked at Ma Yuanwu with great satisfaction, "Yuanwu, for you to cultivate the Thunderclap Sword Technique to the ninth level at your age, you have already met the preliminary conditions to enter a Holy Land. For Holy Land disciple recruitment, reputation is also required. Breaking the sword domain tomorrow will be your chance to become famous! No matter how many sword dao geniuses come, they will only become your foils. You can step on them and stand at the peak. When the time comes, I will help arrange things further. At this Holy Land disciple recruitment conference, there will definitely be a place for you."
Ma Yuanwu hurriedly responded, "This disciple will certainly give his all."
Mu Lan nodded, "You have tried that Yu Family sword domain several times before. Last time, you already reached a spot very close to the center. This year, you have made another breakthrough in sword techniques, breaking the sword domain should be almost guaranteed. I will be waiting to celebrate for you."
Ma Yuanwu was full of confidence, "Last year, I was only a little short. This year, this disciple is determined to succeed!"
The Holy Land disciple recruitment conference was right before his eyes. Within these two years, he had to accumulate enough reputation in order to obtain the qualification to join a Holy Land.
Mu Lan smiled slightly, "Good. Rest well tonight. Tomorrow, whether it's Feng Linglong or Huo Linglong, they can only become your stepping stones!"
Ma Yuanwu snorted coldly, "That Feng Linglong from Canglan Kingdom is also definitely aiming for a spot in the Holy Land disciple recruitment. This time, I will completely extinguish her hopes."
Mu Lan looked extremely satisfied.
His disciple indeed understood everything with just a hint, there was no need for further instruction.
Tomorrow.
The sword tomb would open, and the sword domain would form.
That night.
There were still sword dao geniuses continuously heading toward Lin City.
Ma Yuanwu and Feng Linglong were the two most famous among them.
There were also many other sword dao geniuses with some reputation, all being discussed by the crowd.
As for Yun Jin?
No one mentioned her.
And no one cared.
