Evil Yi Yun
“About the alliance…” The steward began to think through his words, “Now, the family is indeed facing such a choice, and there is quite a number of upper echelon elders who are leaning towards it…”
When the steward said this, Yi Yun’s heart sank. They were really going into an alliance!
He had just come to the Tian Yuan world, and his strength was still relatively tiny in this world. Did he have to travel the world by himself? If he did, he might even have to face the possibility of the Shen Tu family clan’s deathly pursuits!
“They are leaning towards it? What are those old fools thinking? The Shen Tu family clan is not any good. Is allying with them not the equivalent of asking a tiger for its skin?”
Su Jie immediately cursed.
The steward smiled bitterly, “Elder Su, let me say my piece. Actually, this matter is related to you…”
“Oh? Related to me?” Su Jie was shocked.
“To be precise, it has to do with your disciple, Miss Xintong…”
Lin Xintong?
Yi Yun’s heart thumped, was this related to Lin Xintong previously being summoned home?
And following that, the steward’s next words verified Yi Yun’s guesses.
“Elder Su, you naturally know the matter of Miss Xintong’s meridians…”
The steward glanced at Yi Yun, intending to mince his words. He did not want to discuss Lin Xintong’s problem in front of Yi Yun. However, Su Jie only waved his hand, indicating that he need not worry about Yi Yun, “Just say it directly.”
“Oh… Having natural Yin Meridians means that one will die within 500 years of age. It is effectively the end of one’s martial arts path, and it is an incurable disease.”
“This meridian state is a curse from Heaven, however… Once someone is able to defy heaven and join up the natural Yin Meridians, then an incredible metamorphosis will occur. In ancient times, there was a peerless Great Empress who managed to reverse the situation of her natural Yin Meridians, and her cultivation level skyrocketed, becoming the number one person of her generation. Her strength was unfathomable… It was rumored that the Great Empress was much stronger than our Lin family’s grand elder and the Shen Tu’s Ancestor of our time…”
“And about two years ago, the Shen Tu family clan found an ancient Desolate Heaven technique in a mystic realm, and it is suspected of being related to the peerless Great Empress…”
“The Shen Tu family clan believes that this ancient Desolate Heaven technique is able to join up Miss Xintong’s terminated meridians. Thus the upper echelons of the family summoned her back.”
“However, the family’s upper echelons are still doubtful of this technique. Although it is really an ancient Desolate Heaven technique recipe, it cannot be confirmed that it was left behind by that peerless Great Empress. And… even if the recipe really can cure the natural Yin Meridians the family’s upper echelons do not believe that the Shen Tu family clan has the ability to guarantee that they will be able to refine this desolate bone relic…”
When the steward said this, Su Jie was stunned.
Over the past few years, he had brought Lin Xintong around to many places, but he had failed to find a way to join up her natural Yin Meridians.
Now, the Shen Tu family clan had declared that they found a Desolate Heaven technique recipe related to the ancient Great Empress, how could this not surprise Su Jie?
Previously, Lin Xintong may have been a direct child of the Lin family and a genius not seen in a thousand years, she was greatly loved by the Matriarch. However, because of her naturally terminated meridians, her status in the Lin family was not high.
For the Lin family, with their great heritage, everything went in accordance with the rules. And these rules could only be described as being cold and heartless.
