Wang Yulin and the other vice-presidents who had been trying to fight for power during this period also calmed down a bit, but the unhappiness between them still existed.
It's not entirely short-sightedness or internal fighting at this critical juncture, it's just that there have always been differences in ideas.
The two vice-presidents were both Heaven Rank Six Stars. One of them was called Weng Yan, who had always been a die-hard fan of Chen Lianyan and was a sworn brother of Qin Xiang. He was the most angry when the incident happened this time, and he shouted that he was going to seek revenge.
But it was not easy for Wang Yulin and his men to come back with the help of the teleportation magic weapon, otherwise all of them would have been killed there, with several Heavenly Ranks lost, and they were locked up in the Yin family's private prison, with countless injuries. How could it be so easy to fight back now
Fortunately, Wang Yulin has some background, so no matter how powerful the Yin family is, they will not come to attack them, giving them a chance to recover. Otherwise, they would have been trapped by them.
The other vice-president is named Ye Rumei. She is not usually in the college. She is in charge of Yaozhou City, the second largest city in Beizhou, which is not far from Lin City. The relationship between Yaozhou and Lin City is like that between Lingguan and Lei City before, but she usually does not interfere in the affairs of the college. This time she came here specially because she knew something happened.
The disagreement between the two people had a long history. The main reason was that Ye Rumei once competed for the position of the Dean of the Inner Court. Wang Yulin's position as the Dean of the Inner Court was one level higher than that of the Vice-Principal, but he lost the competition and was squeezed out by Qin Xiang and Weng Yan. He had to go to Yaozhou, so their relationship had never been good.
Ye Rumei is an old veteran in Wang Yulin College. After the chaos and when Chen Lianyan took over, she was marginalized. It is impossible to say that she has no resentment at all.
Therefore, she was not as angry as Weng Yan about the defeat this time. She was relatively calm, and her arrangement for subsequent events was completely different from Weng Yan's.
"It's better for Lincheng to recuperate now and not cause any more trouble. Fighting with the Yin family will not do any good," she said. "Besides, we were wrong from the beginning. How could you do such a thing by threatening them with a half-death fight with the Huayu Sword Immortal's relics? It's shameful already, not to mention that we're being beaten back now, which is even more embarrassing.
Also, I said it when I was in college, many of these ordinary students are very talented, but also have tempers, if you take advantage of others' lack of background to deliberately bully them, sooner or later something will happen, but you just don't listen."
"You are still here making sarcastic remarks. I think you are just hoping for something bad to happen!" Weng Yan disliked her and was furious when he heard this. "Ye Rumei, are you targeting Wang Yulin or the Yin family? Just wait, when the principal wakes up, I will definitely sue you. You are turning your elbow outward. I'm afraid you don't want to be the Lord of Yaozhou City anymore!"
The two of them started arguing and fighting over a few things. The two were equally skilled and it was hard to tell who was the winner.
During this period of time, Ye Rumei had little to say to him, so it would be better not to meet him.
But no matter how much the two of them don't get along, she has to stay here for the stability of Lincheng. There are too many injured Heavenly Stage people.
The Yin family didn't call during this period, but news came one after another. Lincheng was affected by the situation and there have been many shocks recently.
No matter how much Weng Yan tried to suppress the news, it was useless. The ordinary people of Lincheng were grateful to Huayu Sword Fairy, after all, she was their savior. Only after they were defeated this time did they find out that the academy had actually used her belongings as collateral. Now, not only did they have no sympathy for these people, they also asked a lot of people from Leicheng, and even had a lot of yearning for them.
There were so many "surprises" around. First, the Immortal Vine appeared, shocking the entire Northern Province. Then, the Yin family successfully won over two mercenary groups with it. Because of this, Wang Yulin became anxious and began to win over the remaining wavering mercenary groups, trying to bribe them with a lot of resources.
"No matter how powerful Yin Jiuxiao is, he is nothing now," Weng Yan said to them. "Our Principal Chen and Dean Qin are about to come out of confinement. Last time, they just took advantage of the Yin family's trick. When they recover from their injuries, we will gather everyone to kill them. What is there to fear about the Yin family? Isn't it the Immortal Vine that you want? We can just grab the seeds and take them away!"
These mercenary groups have never reached an agreement with the Yin family. They just want to use the power in their hands to threaten the lion and make more contracts that are beneficial to themselves before Yin Jiuxiao grows up and poses a threat to Wang Yulin, but the Yin family refuses.
So there were really people who were deceived by Weng's words and thought that since they couldn't get it, they might as well kill him and take it away.
Ye Rumei frowned when she saw it.
To be fair, she has no selfish motives towards the Yin family, but she is not a good person either.
In the spiritual world, there are countless selfish people. She knew that she had received the favor of the Yin family, but after the Yin family fell, she still chose to protect herself and followed Chen Lianyan, the only seven-star left in Beizhou, and never cared about the life and death of the Yin family for so many years.
But no matter how selfish Ye Rumei is, she at least has a bottom line.
She doesn't lend a hand to help, but she won't do anything to kick someone in the face. She has always been cautious and not impulsive. She will consciously choose the side that is most beneficial to herself and will not be affected by any personal feelings.
This time it was also for Wang Yulin.
They probably forgot how powerful the Yin family's Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword is.
With the appearance of Yin Hengxie, the situation is already very troublesome. He, like Chen Lianyan, is a Heavenly Rank Seven Star. Even if he is besieged, it is not easy to be killed.
What's more, there is still Yin Jiuxiao. Even if all forces are gathered to encircle and suppress them, the enemy is definitely not fully prepared. Under the cover of Yin Hengxie, it is very easy for Yin Jiuxiao, who already has heavenly strength, to escape.
It would be fine if Yin Jiuxiao was only at the Earth Rank, and maybe he could extinguish this future Lord. But now he is an absolute Heaven Rank who can attack Chen Lianyan from the side!
How long can Wang Yulin live happily if he creates hatred for the sake of a little pleasure
With Yin Jiuxiao's talent, in a few years, when he grows up and comes back, the Jiuxiao Jueyun Sword with a ninth-level heavenly rank will be an incredible existence in the spiritual world, and he will be able to kill Wang Yulin by himself.
Ye Rumei didn't want to die with them anyway.
The lifespan of the celestial realm is long, so she still has a long time to live.
In her opinion, there is no harm in lowering your head at this time.
Beizhou is so big, the Yin family is in need of manpower now, they will not kill them all. I heard that they had offended Haihun City before, but Fu Qingping changed his attitude according to the situation, and now he is cooperating happily, isn’t he
She thought that Weng Yan and the others were used to being arrogant, not just because of the grudge. Wang Yulin had only been the big shot in Beizhou for more than ten years, so how could he bear to see his status being taken back by the Yin family
Ye Rumei couldn't help but sigh. She was worried and had been paying attention to the news outside the City of Tears.
Compared to the somewhat chaotic Wang Yulin, the Yin family seemed much calmer.
I heard that the wolf descendants were very good at getting information, and they were able to do it without anyone noticing. Some time ago, she had a fight with Weng Yan during the chaos in the academy, so she was not paying attention at all, and they took away several extremely talented alchemists, which made Weng Yan very angry again.
The Wolf Clan had such abilities, so they knew it shouldn't be difficult for a mercenary group to defect to Lin City, but they didn't come to fight for it. It seemed that they didn't care, but instead slowly established an Equipment Refiner Association and started doing business.
I heard that the Alchemist Association has also been established, but I don’t know who Zhou Xian and Mu Jiu plan to be the president.
No matter who comes, they seem to be able to discuss things together, and the atmosphere is much more harmonious.
While the Alchemist Association is still in preparation, the pills have been put on sale first. Even if Weng Yan chases and blocks them and does not let any suspicious people enter Lin City, the merchant teams supported by Lei City have strong penetration power. It is impossible to completely stop the small groups of teams carrying pills.
Everyone who has used the elixirs produced in Tear City has spoken highly of them. For the same price, they get products that are obviously much better. Even a fool would know how to choose.
Especially after seeing the pill, the senior executives of Wang Yulin who had similar feelings as Ye Rumei also came to her.
It was Zhang Fu, the alchemy elder of Wang Yulin.
He was a heavenly rank six-star alchemist, and among the many senior executives, he was one of the few who treated children of ordinary backgrounds equally. Song Xuemiao was brought up by him. But he alone could not influence the status quo of the entire academy. Knowing that some children had run away, he could only sigh.
But when he came back to find Ye Rumei this time, his expression was very serious, even more serious than when those children ran away.
In his hands, he not only had elixirs of various colors produced in the City of Tears, including several types of yellow-grade elixirs, but also the recently produced improved version of the black-grade elixir, a limited edition jointly produced by Diemeng, Lin Yun, Si and Li Yan. It used the best materials and had a 40% improvement. All alchemists would be shocked when they saw it.
Many alchemists in Lianlin City couldn't help but say that the hope for the rise of the Northern Province probably lies in the City of Tears, and many people are already preparing to leave.
In addition to this, there is a letter.
It was written by Song Xuemiao, but it is probably self-evident who was able to break through Wang Yulin's layers of barriers and send it over.
"City Lord Ye, it says here that you also received it, right? It's a letter from the Yin family," Zhang Fu looked at him and lowered his voice slightly, "What do you think?"
Ye Rumei didn't say a word.
She did receive it.
The Yin family was not satisfied with poaching Ding Lian, and they also wanted to poach people from Wang Yulin. Perhaps they knew that she and Weng Yan had different ideas and had already fought, so they took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to her.
Wang Yulin has a relatively fatal flaw, which is that the time it takes for these people to merge together is too short.
They just rose up by taking advantage of the chaos. This force was established just over ten years ago. The ties between them are very shallow, so internal strife is inevitable. Therefore, some young people like Ding Lian can run away if they want to, without any burden at all.
As for other prominent forces in the spirit world, they have all existed for a very long time. Even the relatively young Haihun City Chamber of Commerce has a history of several decades. The circle of Heavenly Ranks around Fu Qingping have known each other since he awakened at the age of three, and have fought together all the way to the present. Aristocratic families like the Yin family have stood for a thousand years, and the Heavenly Ranks who grew up under them have extremely deep family ties, so it is very difficult for them to betray or completely break away from them.
But Wang Yulin is far from having such cohesion.
The Yin family must be aware of this, which is why they are so bold as to directly poach talents and send them to Ye Rumei and Zhang Fu.
Ye Rumei felt that she could understand if she shook it for a while, but Zhang Fu...
She never expected that he would come up to her.
He is an elderly alchemist who usually doesn't care about the conflicts in the academy. Although he is the highest-level and most capable alchemist, he is not the one who makes the decisions on the alchemist side and can only be an ordinary alchemy elder.
Ye Rumei didn't believe that she was shaken by Song Xuemiao's letter.
She didn't need to worry like herself. The grudges between combat spirit masters usually didn't involve alchemists, so they would usually be protected. Even if she made the worst guess, and Yin Jiuxiao came back to kill Wang Yulin, Zhang Fu would be spared.
In fact, the Yin family's target was not him. He was not considered at all at the beginning. It was Song Xuemiao who took the initiative to suggest it, saying that this teacher was not a bad person and his only hobby was to study alchemy.
If Diemeng sent him some of his current achievements, he would be very interested. It would be best if he could get them.
Although they said so, the Yin family did not hold out much hope for him. They were somewhat confident about Ye Rumei, but they were just giving Zhang Fu a try and sent some insignificant messages to test the waters. Mu Jiu, who had contacted him before, shook his head and said that there was not much hope and that this person would not move easily.
But what was unexpected was that Zhang Fu's reaction was even faster than Ye Rumei's.
Ye Rumei was still hesitating. He had already communicated with the Yin family several times. His intention was very obvious, and now he came to them on his own initiative.
Ye Rumei looked strange and asked him, "Are you here because of the elixir?"
Not really.
"This is only part of it," Zhang Fu exhaled, his cloudy eyes seemed to brighten a little, and he suddenly mentioned someone, "City Lord Ye, do you know what Lin Qinghen looks like?"
