The Yinling Sect
The Shen City Commercial Association Building is located in the city center of Shen City.
Walk to the end of the most bustling commercial street, and you'll find the fountain square in front of the trading company building.
This five-story building occupies nearly 500 square meters. Its exterior is elegant and understated, yet it subtly exudes an air of wealth.
At this moment, in the bank president's office, the somewhat overweight president was speaking in an extremely obsequious manner.
"Miss Yin, please convey the message about the port to Elder Yin."
Sitting before him was a beautiful young woman, exceptionally lovely and graceful.
According to the bank manager, she must be Miss Yin.
The girl showed no emotional reaction to this fawning attitude; she simply nodded indifferently.
"I will report the situation here truthfully."
To reassure the bank manager, whose eyes were still filled with worry, the girl spoke again, adding...
"My Yinling Sect and your esteemed firm have been partners for many years, so Mr. President, there's no need to worry too much."
"Well!"
With the guarantee from the Yinling Sect, the bank manager immediately felt more confident.
As for the City Hall, he didn't expect any substantial promises.
He knew perfectly well that the people at the City Hall were the type who wanted all the benefits but didn't want to take any responsibility.
However, he had no complaints about it.
After all, wasn't he himself just like that?
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the girl left.
"Pass the word down to increase the number of patrols at the port."
After Miss Yin left, the bank manager immediately summoned his secretary and began giving instructions on the follow-up work.
"Remember, find some Yellow Realm first or second stage cultivators, or ordinary workers who haven't awakened yet, to patrol."
"It would be best to have them go to the border line from time to time and loiter around in front of the patrolling soldiers."
The "boundary line" mentioned by the bank manager is actually the location where the merchant's goods storage area meets the military supplies storage area.
Perhaps because they were confident that no one would dare to cross the line, the boundary was separated only by a row of temporary fences.
Moreover, only the occasional passing soldiers on patrol would glance at it.
The bank manager was clearly using this as a pretext to deliberately incite the soldiers to take action, so that he could have a more serious excuse to get the Yinling Sect intervene.
After hearing the bank manager's order, the secretary wisely refrained from asking further questions and simply relayed the order in a businesslike manner.
In response to the perilous situation faced by the military in the Jade Swallow Continent, a plan is being formulated.
In the plaza in front of the trading company building, a young man was feeding breadcrumbs to passing seabirds.
Many of these seabirds are entirely white, with only some of their wings interspersed with dark colors.
His wide-brimmed baseball cap blocked the scorching sun and also obscured his gaze as he looked diagonally toward the building entrance.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Miss Yin step out of the shop and walk straight to the carriage parked to the side.
Before getting into the car, Yin Xingyue —that is, Miss Yin—sharply noticed the gazes of others.
She couldn't help but turn and gaze into the distance.
All she could see were Human Race feeding seagulls in the square; no one was looking in her direction.
Illusion?
Yin Xingyue frowned slightly, rejecting this conclusion in her mind.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
When the servant saw his young mistress stop, he asked her in a low voice.
"It's alright, we'll head straight back to Yinling Valley later."
The servant was puzzled as to why the young lady had changed her original itinerary and was no longer going to the City Hall.
But he still respectfully replied, "Yes."
The carriage drove away quickly.
The young man in the baseball cap turned his gaze back to the carriage speeding away.
"That's very perceptive."
He truly deserves to be called a capable young talent of the Yinling Sect; he needs to be more cautious.
The young man in the baseball cap finished scattering the last handful of breadcrumbs and stood up.
As her sleeves swayed, the Golden Silk Chains that had slipped down her arms as she rose were faintly visible.
Children ran across the square, startling a flock of seabirds.
Once the flock of birds dispersed, the young man in the baseball cap who had been feeding them also disappeared.
The few scattered feathers on the ground indicate that many seabirds had lingered here.
The Yinling Sect is currently the largest sect in the Jade Swallow Continent, without exception.
However, the leader of this sect in the Jade Swallow Continent is not a local force.
Their place of origin is actually the Chou City of the Kaiyang Continent.
It was completely controlled by the sect's forces, similar to Mao City before the incident, which was controlled by the Academic Clique.
Therefore, the area is rife with sects and fierce competition, making it a place where there are far more wolves than meat.
In order to expand, the Yinling Sect established a branch in the Jade Swallow Continent more than fifty years ago.
Thanks to the competitiveness that emerged from the fiercely Chou City.
Before long, they used force to persuade the local forces and seized the leadership position in one fell swoop.
It has never wavered to this day.
The above is the information belonging to the Yinling Sect stored in the City Hall.
Only a few words were recorded; most of the information was not kept in the City Hall's archives.
It's not just the Yinling Sect; in fact, the City Hall doesn't keep many records of any faction of any significant size.
Shisui speculated that this was one of the benefits the government offered to its allies after the sects reached a cooperation agreement with the Shen City.
Recalling the information in his memory, Shisui's eyes flashed with undisguised interest.
Meanwhile, his other Kakugan remained tightly closed.
Through Radiant Feathers black feathers interspersed with crimson plumes on the seabird's body, one can observe this scene of the mantis stalking the cicada.
The young man wearing a baseball cap was following far behind the Yinling Sect carriage.
High in the sky, seabirds flew behind them.
As Shisui followed them toward the Yinling Sect's lair, he continued to recall more information about the Yinling Sect.
He vaguely remembered that among the group of representatives from Qiongfang City who were with [Spirit Dream Recall] and [Fire Thief] at the time.
It seems there are members of the Yinling Sect among them.
He remembered that it seemed to be a contestant from Chou City.
He thought for a long time about the specific name and talent before he remembered that the other person's name should be Yin Xingyao.
I remember him because his talent was quite interesting; it was a unique control-type talent based on Psychic Energy fluctuations.
As for what his talent was called, Shisui had forgotten.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that it was too weak and far less worth cultivating than [Spirit Dream Recall], so he forgot about it.
However, he did not express any regret about it.
Because the Yinling Sect member who is currently being tracked has almost identical Psychic Energy fluctuations to Yin Xingyao's.
Moreover, she is much stronger than Yin Xingyao.
This means that no extensive training is needed; the equipment can be put into use as soon as it is ready for deployment.
Shisui admitted that he was tempted.
Imprisonment-type talents, if used properly, can be life-saving.
Silently adding a item to his to-do list, Zi Sui Yu Ukaku Shisui his wings, continuing to slowly and discreetly spread his Radiant Feathers throughout Shen City.
There was still a long time before nightfall, giving him ample time to take control of every corner of the city.
