You're the Useless One!
Having dealt with the corpse controller, the remaining patrol teams no longer dared to tamper with their path.
After all, the corpse puppets in their hands were painstakingly raised with many precious items. They weren't as generous as the corpse controller in front of them, who actually gave away all the good treasures under his command to someone else's sword.
Moreover, perhaps out of fear of Sang Ying's terrifying sword, the rest of the night patrol team simply bypassed the three of them.
Therefore, Sang Ying and her party arrived at the Yin Mountain Sect without any problems.
The young sect leader, whom they had met only once before, greeted them warmly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the three of them, seemingly having eagerly awaited their arrival.
"My father has already arranged accommodations for everyone. It's too late now, so please wait until you've all rested before discussing anything else. We can talk about it tomorrow." Liu Duanyue Yue's excitement hadn't subsided, but she knew the importance of the matter, so she directly led the people towards the guest courtyard.
Sang Ying hadn't expected the Yin Mountain Sect to be so courteous, with even their accommodations being personally arranged by the sect leader.
Looking again at the disciples who came out to greet them, each one was looking at them with anticipation, which seemed somewhat out of place with the gloomy atmosphere of the Hidden Nether Realm.
However, Sang Ying quite liked this atmosphere.
She cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Liu Duanyue: "Then thank you very much for the Yin Mountain Sect's hospitality tonight."
Liu Duanyue quickly said she dared not, but a smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, right." Halfway there, Sang Ying seemed to remember something and handed the two ropes to Liu Duanyue: "These are the villains who disturbed the three of us tonight. We've heard that Moonless City is now under the control of the Moonless Household's patriarch. We'd appreciate it if the young sect leader could help us find a place to settle them. Tomorrow, we'll take them to the Moonless Household Head to file a complaint."
Liu Duanyue and the other Yin Mountain Sect disciples had already noticed the two strings of people in her hand. Moreover, they knew that these must be assassins sent by the Moonless Clan to kill Sang Ying and the other two.
They were still wondering how Sang Ying would deal with this group when they heard her say this.
"Fellow Daoist, don't you know who sent this?" Liu Duanyue asked tentatively.
Sang Ying smiled gently, "As an outsider, I naturally wouldn't know these things, which is why I need the current acting city lord to help me investigate. Whether he just pulls someone out to take the blame or gives us outsiders justice, it all depends on what the Moonless Household Head decides."
After understanding the meaning behind Sang Ying's words, Liu Duanyue was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing on the spot.
His plan was to lead this group to the Moonless Household to demand an explanation. Even if they couldn't do anything to Wuyue Hao, they could at least dampen their arrogance.
But he didn't expect that Sang Ying was planning to pretend to be confused and simply pass this difficult problem to the Moonless Household Head.
If the other party really just randomly finds someone to take the blame, the people of Moonless City aren't fools; they certainly won't be fooled. In that case, the prestige of the Moonless Household Head will probably plummet.
If the other party admits to this, will he really hand over his son? Even if they don't want to severely punish Wuyue Hao, the competition between the two families is imminent, and in order to show their fairness, the Moonless Household Head will have no choice but to be ruthless towards his only remaining son.
This is clearly a well-intentioned conspiracy!
Liu Duanyue couldn't help but glance at Sang Ying and the other two again. Previously, he had only thought that these people were extremely perceptive and had a bright future. Now he realized that they were not only highly perceptive, but also extremely intelligent.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate again. If it were Wuyue Hao, a drag on the Moonless Household, the Yin Mountain Sect probably wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity to rise to prominence!
Liu Duanyue quickly assured Sang Ying, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely keep a close eye on these people and ensure they have no chance of escaping!"
"Of course I trust the young sect leader." Sang Ying nodded to him.
The Yin Mountain Sect had been operating in Moonless City for many years. Even though the Moonless Household had slightly suppressed them in recent years due to their position as acting city lord, their hundreds of years of operation were not in vain.
Sang Ying and the other two were distinguished guests whom they had gone to great lengths to invite, so Sect Master Liu naturally dared not neglect them. Therefore, he arranged the best accommodations for them in the entire Yin Mountain Sect Guest House.
As soon as the three of them settled in, Jiang Zhuoxue disgustedly tossed Gu Wangchuan into his room, and the young swordsman continued to sleep, finishing his unfinished dream.
Jiang Zhuoxue, however, used the excuse of being frightened to follow Sang Ying into her room.
When he lay down on the bed that Sang Ying had given him, and his fingers touched the small vines again, his mood was quite different from before.
Even the corners of her mouth, which had been drooping, began to curve slightly upwards.
Sang Ying was unaware of his ulterior motives and simply sat quietly in meditation to the side.
She can now use about 70-80% of the sword technique she comprehended in the training grounds, so it seems that the day when Sang Ying achieves Nascent Soul cultivation is not far off.
It's just unknown whether her tribulation will arrive as promised.
The Yin Mountain Sect quickly fell silent along with the night, and the commotion caused by Sang Ying and her group left no trace in the hearts of the others in Moonless City.
At this moment, the only one unable to sleep peacefully was Wuyue Hao.
He dispatched his most skilled corpse-crafting and corpse-controlling subordinates, hoping to kill Sang Ying and the others with a single blow.
However, his men had been gone for quite some time, and there had been no response, which made him somewhat worried.
After pacing around the room for a while longer without any response from the communication talisman, a subordinate finally came to report the news.
The disheveled man in the black robe cried out as soon as he saw Wuyue Hao, "Young Master, it's terrible! All our men have been captured by that female sword cultivator! Even my Golden Core Realm corpse puppets have been wiped out by her! Now, those three have gone to the Yin Mountain Sect. In my opinion, those three have long been colluding with the Yin Mountain Sect!"
Each of these three sentences was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Wuyue Hao's already fragile heart.
His face turned deathly pale. He grabbed the corpse controller's collar and gritted his teeth, saying, "How could this be? The highest cultivation level among the three is only at the Golden Core Realm! I gave you so many people, how come you couldn't even handle a Golden Core cultivator?!"
"Useless!" Before the corpse controller could even explain, Wuyue Hao shoved him aside. "You're all useless!"
He had already offended those three, ruining his plans to win them over within the clan. Now, the men he sent to assassinate them had been captured and sent directly to the Yin Mountain Sect!
Recalling the words that the Moonless Household Head had warned him, Wuyue Hao felt that he was completely finished this time.
He closed his eyes, his face filled with despair.
However, Wuyue Hao's misfortune was destined not to end there, because the next moment, his door was kicked open, and a dignified middle-aged man strode in, looking at Wuyue Hao as if he were a pile of mud:
"They're trash, so what are you?"
A booming voice slammed into his ears, as if it were a judgment on Wuyue Hao, filling him with fear.
