Hearing Manager Liu's words, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Oh, it's Manager Liu. A pleasure to meet you."
"No, you're too kind, young master." Steward Liu quickly waved his hand, his tone very humble. "We've come specifically to invite you to the Northern Underworld Sect."
"Oh? What does Steward Liu want?" Lin Yu asked casually, not feeling that he had any connection with the Beiming Sect.
Manager Liu said, "Young Master, we had people following you and discovered that you killed a disciple of the Beiming Sect at their headquarters. We've sent someone to invite you back to assist with the investigation."
"You sent people to follow me?" Lin Yu was stunned. He hadn't sensed any disciples from the Beiming Sect following him, nor had he discovered any Beiming Sect disciples. It seemed his divine sense was sealed, and he hadn't been able to perceive the outside world.
Manager Liu quickly explained, "Young Master, this is just a misunderstanding. Our Beiming Sect disciples were killed in an accident. The people who came with us are our Deputy Hall Master and Elders. They are here to discuss how to handle this matter. We wonder if Young Master would be willing to cooperate?"
"You are the deputy hall master and elders of the Beiming Sect, you should know my identity, right? Do you still need my cooperation?" Lin Yu asked with a cold smile.
"This..." Manager Liu Wuyan. He did know Lin Yu's identity and that Lin Yu was an extremely powerful figure. They had no right to threaten Lin Yu, but they still had to bite the bullet and go for it because they were the Beiming Sect, one of the four major sects on the Beixuan Continent, and they absolutely would not allow any provocation. This was the majesty of the four major sects.
Manager Liu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We know that you are of noble status, young master, but if you do not follow our orders, don't blame us for being unethical. This matter is a personal grudge, not a public one, so you don't need to worry that we will harm you. We also hope that you can cooperate, and we will ensure that all the disciples of the Beiming Sect dare not provoke you again."
"Heh." Lin Yu scoffed twice, shaking his head. "I think you've got it wrong. I was the one who killed him, and the killer was a disciple of your Beiming Sect. If I didn't kill him, would I have kept him alive to avenge you? If it were your disciple who was killed, would you have come to seek justice yourselves?"
"This..." Manager Liu was speechless. It was indeed true. If they were the murderers, they would certainly come to take revenge themselves.
"Are you done? If you're done, then get lost, or I won't hesitate to kill you again," Lin Yu said impatiently, his patience almost completely worn out.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Manager Liu's face immediately turned ugly. The people they had sent out were all the best of the younger generation of their Beiming Sect, and Lin Yu had killed them all. Naturally, he was unhappy, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, after all, Lin Yu's strength was too great.
"The people we sent are the top experts of the younger generation of our Beiming Sect. If they are killed, our Beiming Sect will lose all face. This responsibility is not just mine alone, but the responsibility of the entire Beiming Sect. So please cooperate, young master, so that we can explain ourselves." Manager Liu suppressed his anger and said these words in a deep voice.
Lin Yu chuckled and said, "It was indeed your fault in this matter, but your men have already been killed by me. I'm not afraid to tell you, the reason I killed them was because they laid a hand on my woman. I absolutely will not allow anyone to harm my woman."
Manager Liu said, "But young master, they are just ordinary disciples. If it were Core Disciple of your sect who laid a hand on your woman, would you still protect her like this?"
Lin Yu smiled faintly, but his words were filled with domineering arrogance. "If it were truly one of your Core Disciple who laid a hand on my woman, I would personally send them to hell. If it were one of your disciples, I wouldn't kill them, but rather make them suffer a fate worse than death. I know you are from the Beiming Sect, but your Beiming Sect is merely a small sect. You have no right to restrict me, do you? If I wanted to kill someone, who do you think could stop me?"
"Young master, your strength is indeed formidable, and we are no match for you. However, we are acting under orders, so please understand and do not make things difficult for us," Steward Liu earnestly advised.
Lin Yu said, "I only want to negotiate with your Beiming Sect. Your decisions are not my concern."
"Young master, don't push your luck!" Steward Liu rebuked angrily.
Lin Yu shrugged, looking indifferent. "You can see me as someone who bullies your Beiming Sect, but what can you do to me?"
"Young master, since that's the case, then don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between the Beiming Sect and you." Manager Liu snorted coldly, then quickly left with his men. He knew that the matter had already escalated, so he planned to use force to coerce them. As long as they could capture Lin Yu, they could quell the matter and prevent damage to the foundation of the Beiming Sect.
Manager Liu disappeared into the night, while Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I wouldn't mind fighting with your Beiming Sect, but I'd rather not fight with your entire Beiming Sect, because you're not strong enough."
Manager Liu led a group of Beiming Sect disciples away from Lin Yu's residence and back to the Beiming Sect's mansion located in the southwest corner. This place was the closest to the East Palace and was also one of the Beiming Sect's key defense zones.
Manager Liu returned to his residence and immediately summoned several managers from the Beiming Sect to discuss how to deal with Lin Yu. Lin Yu's cultivation was too strong, and if they wanted to find an opportunity to kill Lin Yu, they had to find a way to lure him out.
"Gentlemen, what method should we use to lure that bastard surnamed Lin out?" Manager Liu said in a deep voice. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult to find a way to lure Lin Yu out. After all, Lin Yu was too cunning and possessed powerful martial arts skills. Such a person was not someone they could deal with easily.
The group of people frowned. Although they were the managers of the Beiming Sect, they were not omnipotent. It would be very difficult to capture Lin Yu here.
"Steward Liu, I remember our Beiming Sect has a secret technique specifically for high-level martial artists called the Soul-Seizing Technique. We can use the Soul-Seizing Technique to bewitch Lin Yu." A steward suddenly reminded Steward Liu.
