Chapter 66: Threat

Yi Qianmo was stunned, and not just him; Su Muyu beside him was also shocked.

She knew how powerful the Tang family of Qin Land was. They were a major family in Qin Land, which was one of the strongest countries and much more powerful than Yan Kingdom.

If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, Su Muyu would never have guessed that the Yi family, which had nearly been wiped out in Green Cloud City, could have any connection with the Tang family of Qin Land.

In that moment, Su Muyu suddenly remembered Yi Qianmo’s words "passed down through generations" and linked it to the old man’s earlier statement about the "Nine Branches of the Yi Family." She suddenly understood why Yi Qianmo had such amazing talent for alchemy and why the swordsmanship he inherited was so remarkable.

Everything made sense now; after all, the Yi family’s legacy, which shared the same lineage as the Tang family, must be quite exceptional.

After a long silence, Su Muyu signaled with her eyes for all her guards to step back. Since they were from the same family, there was no need for her to stay.

Seeing Su Muyu leave with her people, Yi Danian said, "Old Tang, may I have a few words alone with my grandson?"

The old man nodded and took his people out of the hall. After that, Yi Danian dismissed the others, leaving only Yi Lingyu and Yi Qianmo behind.

"Is this all true?"

Yi Qianmo tightly held his sister’s hand and asked.

Yi Danian sat back and nodded, saying, "I meant to tell you earlier, during that difficult time for our family, Grandpa wanted you to take Lingyu and leave Green Cloud City for Qin Land."

Upon hearing this, Yi Qianmo remembered that Grandpa had mentioned it before, but he was too busy dealing with the three major families at the time, so he didn’t mention it.

"But I remember Mother was pregnant back then!"

Yi Qianmo gritted his teeth, "If this is all true, then… Mother…"

He looked at Yi Lingyu, wanting to say something but stopped.

"After Tianyao passed away, your mother gave birth to a son, but… he didn’t survive," Yi Danian said, "This had nothing to do with Lingyu’s arrival."

"When did this happen?" Yi Qianmo asked.

He felt his sister’s hand trembling slightly; she lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him.

"Not long after you entered the Yu family, your mother was already unwell, and then there was the matter of Tianyao…"

Yi Danian sighed, "Later, the Tang family sent a baby girl, who was Lingyu."

"If the Tang family is so powerful, why don’t they care about the fate of my Yi family?"

Yi Qianmo said with a cold expression.

"Well, that brings us to the matter of the Nine Branches of the Yi Family."

Yi Danian said, "Legend has it that my Yi family once belonged to an ancient dynasty of immortals, but for some unknown reason, we faced a great enemy, and the whole family was destroyed, leaving only nine descendants alive; this is the Nine Branches of the Yi Family. The only branch that can still be contacted today is the Tang family."

At this point, Yi Danian rose and came over, "Although our branch has not changed its surname, we have greatly declined. If you have not grasped the sword techniques, I’m afraid…"

Hearing this, Yi Qianmo suddenly thought of their ancestors.

Our ancestors were great emperors in a magical land, so it is natural that they have descendants. With the blessings from our ancestors, the Yi family will not be weak.

Thinking about the Sword Pill and remembering his ancestors’ enemies made Yi Qianmo feel anxious inside.

Instead of calling it the Nine Branches of the Yi Family, it’s better to say that the Yi family from back then was left with only nine survivors after being destroyed by those ancient enemies.

"The Tang family faced a great enemy back then, which might be connected to the enemies of that time. So thirteen years ago, they were likely too busy saving themselves," Yi Danian said seriously. "But no matter what, Lingyu is still your sister!"

"I know!"

Yi Qianmo looked at his sister and asked, "Lingyu, do you still recognize me as your brother?"

"Yes."

Yi Lingyu looked up with red eyes, nodded vigorously, and began to cry, saying, "I thought my brother didn’t want me anymore."

"You silly girl."

Yi Qianmo wiped her tears and said, "How could my brother not want you?"

"But I’m not your real sister."

Yi Lingyu said while crying.

"No, you are my real sister, even closer than that."

Yi Qianmo held her hand and said.

"Then… brother, can I stay?"

Yi Lingyu looked at him longingly, her eyes full of hope.

"Have you talked enough!"

The door suddenly burst open, and Tang Yuan walked in. When he saw Yi Lingyu crying in Yi Qianmo’s arms, his face showed displeasure.

Yi Qianmo frowned but did not pay attention to him. He said to Yi Lingyu, "If Lingyu doesn’t want to leave, no one can take you away!"

Tang Yuan, who felt ignored and was already on the brink of exploding, heard this and instantly got very angry. "You little brat! Who do you think you are to stop us?"

"Slap!"

Yi Qianmo moved quickly and slapped Tang Yuan in the face, sending him flying out of the hall.

"You old fool, calling me a little brat! Who do you think you’re talking to?"

Before Tang Yuan could get up from the ground, Yi Qianmo stepped on his lower abdomen and held a sword to his neck.

The Tang family members present did not react in time. By the time they understood what was happening, Yi Qianmo had already pinned Tang Yuan down tightly, and several guards at the Foundation Establishment Stage rushed in to surround them.

The old man was also slightly surprised. It was clear he did not expect Yi Qianmo to dare to attack Tang Yuan, let alone to act so swiftly.

"Let go of my young master!"

A group of guards unleashed their aura, causing all the members of the Yi family present to tremble.

They were just ordinary people, with the highest among them only at the innate level; they could hardly withstand the pressure from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Put away your show of strength!"

Yi Qianmo glared at them fiercely, showing no mercy as he cut a wound on Tang Yuan’s neck and said, "If not, I will kill this dog right now!"

Some of the guards were uncertain; Yi Qianmo’s sudden and fierce actions had taken them by surprise. Now that the sword was at his neck, they were unsure if they could save him.

"Kill this little beast for me!!!"

Tang Yuan’s face turned red as he shouted.

The guards did not move, but suddenly, a pressure as heavy as a mountain appeared. Yi Qianmo’s spiritual power and vitality were instantly restrained, as if someone was choking him, and his body began to hover.

Everyone present looked at the old man, who stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Yi Qianmo with a hint of anger on his face.

"Little beast, you dare to hurt me!"

Touching the wound on his neck, Tang Yuan immediately got up, drew his sword, and thrust it towards Yi Qianmo in the air.

"Stop!"

With a fierce shout, Yi Lingyu suddenly had a dagger in her hand, pointed at her own neck.

"Miss!"

The old man immediately frowned, "Since I can silently subdue him, you, in front of me, will naturally not harm yourself."

"You can trap me for a moment, but can you trap me for a lifetime?"

Yi Lingyu held the dagger and drew it across her neck, "Release my brother, or you will only bring back a corpse!"
