Chapter 82: You Still Want the Immortal Herb After Attacking?
"Alright, enough catching up."
Seeing Yu Tianlin and the other two talking casually while still surrounded by his Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi's voice turned cold.
"Yu Mingfeng, your son agreed to trade immortal herbs with me. I fulfilled my side of the deal, and now he wants to go back on his word. Is this how one of the Upper Three Sects behaves?"
Immortal herbs?
Yu Mingfeng was momentarily stunned. Clearly, he had no idea what Yang Wudi was talking about.
He turned to his son and asked, " Tianlin, is that true?"
Yu Tianlin shook his head.
"No, Dad. I wasn't planning to back out on my word."
"Heh, that sounds nice. 'I wasn't planning to back out,'" Yang Wudi sneered. "Which means now you are planning to back out. Excuses are still excuses. You never intended to keep your promise in the first place."
Facing the aggressive Yang Wudi, Yu Tianlin remained calm.
"Senior Yang, you've taught me a lot during my stay with the Breaking Clan. I shouldn't need to explain such basic principles to you again."
"Believe it or don't, but at the beginning, I fully intended to honor our agreement. That immortal herb is useless to me, so giving it to you costs me nothing. That's why, even though we argued, I was trying to negotiate with you properly."
"Even with you pressing me again and again, I still wanted to settle things through discussion and, in the end, give you the immortal herb."
His tone suddenly cooled.
"But the moment my father arrived, you didn't hesitate to strike at me. Once you chose to attack, Senior Yang, you tore the agreement apart yourself. Since you broke it, our previous deal is naturally null and void."
"You—!"
Yang Wudi was furious. The light around the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand flared sharply, and Yu Mingfeng's gaze narrowed. The dragon wings on his back trembled slightly as he prepared to take off at any moment.
Yu Tianlin continued, unhurried,
"Senior Yang, even if my father showed up and took me away, as long as you didn't attack me on the way out, I would still have kept my word after returning home. Unfortunately, you never trusted me from the start and chose to seize me by force."
"Well said."
Yu Mingfeng laughed.
"Once a deal is made, it's normal to have disagreements. Those can be resolved in proper talks. But, Senior Yang, you were the one who chose to make a move. Since you used force, it's only natural that the agreement no longer stands."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi's expression twisted even further. His eyes seemed to burn with rage, and the veins at his temples throbbed violently. It was obvious he was on the verge of exploding.
"Senior Yang, there's no point wasting your breath," Yu Mingfeng said calmly, staying alert as he spoke. "You should know it's useless."
"Honestly, carrying both of them is a bit inconvenient, but I can still fly. Even if you lead all your clan members to attack together, at most you'll be able to injure me slightly."
"If you can't keep us here, then attacking will only make things worse. As a clan leader, you really can't even control your temper?"
Being pressed again and again by father and son, Yang Wudi could only take deep breaths to suppress his fury.
"Get out of my sight!" he roared.
"Then we'll be on our way."
Seeing Yang Wudi lose control like that, Yu Mingfeng didn't bother to argue further. His dragon wings beat fiercely, and his figure shot into the sky, quickly turning into a small black dot disappearing toward the horizon with Yu Tianlin and Zuo Jianping in tow.
Outside the council hall, the Breaking Clan members heard Yang Wudi's roar. They hesitated for a moment, but in the end, no one dared to stop Yu Mingfeng.
"Clan leader, we…"
The gate opened, and the Breaking Clan members entered the hall, seeing Yang Wudi still standing there, chest heaving.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, just like the Clear Sky Sect, are all unreliable," he growled.
"From now on, if I see anyone from those two sects, I'll beat them half to death first and ask questions later."
Well, fine.
In any case, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan rarely came to the Star Luo Empire. It was hard to say whether Yang Wudi would ever run into another one.
As for the Clear Sky Sect, they had sealed their gates and cut themselves off from the world.
Oh, right. There was still Tang San wandering around outside in the future. If he wanted to recruit the Breaking Clan someday… well, that would be his problem.
Leaving the furious Yang Wudi behind, Yu Mingfeng flew with the two of them for about an hour before finally descending into a small forest.
"Alright, we'll rest here for a while."
After he spoke, Zuo Jianping tactfully walked off to stand guard in the distance.
Of course, "standing guard" was just an excuse. The real purpose was to give father and son space to talk without being disturbed.
Once Zuo Jianping was gone, Yu Mingfeng sat cross-legged on the grass.
"Alright, talk. What happened?"
Yu Tianlin summarized it simply,
"I came to Yang Wudi to make a trade. He fulfilled his side readily and then wanted me to fulfill my promise as soon as possible. I told him I could only do that after returning home, and he refused to accept it."
"So that's what happened."
Yu Mingfeng rolled his eyes.
"So you were trying to get something for nothing out of Yang Wudi. Of course he wouldn't agree. I wouldn't either."
Yu Tianlin's lips twitched.
"Dad, can you not make 'taking advantage' sound so ugly?"
"Forget it."
Yu Mingfeng stretched lazily.
"In any case, this matter ends here."
Yu Tianlin, however, couldn't relax so easily.
"Dad, the age of my Spirit Rings has been exposed. That might cause trouble later."
Yu Mingfeng chuckled.
"It's not that bad. From start to finish, only Zuo Jianping and Yang Wudi saw your Spirit Rings."
"Zuo Jianping is absolutely trustworthy. He won't say a word. As for Yang Wudi, he won't dare spread it around either."
"If you get targeted because he revealed the secret of your Spirit Rings, then he'll bear responsibility as well. When that time comes, your grandfather will personally go to his door to 'reason' with him."
"That's good then." Yu Tianlin nodded in relief, then asked, "By the way, Dad, how did you arrive at just the right moment today? The timing was perfect."
"That's all thanks to Zuo Jianping."
Yu Mingfeng explained,
"I actually arrived in Fengxing City 2 days ago, but I didn't act immediately. I waited until I could contact Zuo Jianping."
"When Yang Wudi called you alone into the council hall and barred Zuo Jianping from entering, he sensed something was off and quietly alerted me to be ready."
"Not long after, a powerful aura erupted inside the council hall. Zuo Jianping understood at once that Yang Wudi was making a move against you, so he immediately sent me all the details. That's why I could rush in at that exact moment."
So that was how it was.
If Yang Wudi hadn't released his Spirit Power to test him, Yu Mingfeng might not have been able to clearly judge the situation. Even if he intervened, he might not have acted so decisively.
In the end, Yang Wudi's probing had only caused his own plan to backfire.
