The mountain wind was billowing, with Qing Yu's long hair fluttering behind her. Hands clasped behind her back, she chuckled and said, "Two Dragon Heads is too kind. If I couldn't see through such a posture, wouldn't that look down upon Two Dragon Heads?"
Yun Wuyue had spent two or three months originally just to find Feng Jiwu and, naturally, was upset. However, nearly two months had passed since that incident; to still hold a grudge would be somewhat petty.
Although it is often said that women are not broad-minded, to squabble over such a trifle for two months would underrate Yun Wuyue.
The previous feigned anger was merely to gain an advantage in the upcoming negotiations.
"Two Dragon Heads, please speak. If there is something important you seek from me, I need to consider what price you should pay." Qing Yu said indifferently.
"Oh? Then what would be the price for the detailed intelligence on the incident in the Nanyun Mountain Range?" Yun Wuyue countered.
'This young woman has become much more troublesome than before.' Qing Yu was somewhat surprised as she glanced at Yun Wuyue and thought.
The Yun Wuyue of the past had actually relied primarily on force and didn't care much for this haggling.
But now, it was different. This woman had started to employ stratagems, no longer as straightforward as before.
"Regarding the Nanyun Mountain Range incident, I could eventually find out about it. Two Dragon Heads bringing this up for a trade seems a bit insincere."
Although Qing Yu was eager to understand the inside story, she appeared calm on the surface, not revealing any urgency.
"Intelligence has its timeliness," Yun Wuyue remained unmoved, speaking softly, "Sometimes, if you're a moment late, the intelligence might become entirely useless. I know you have connections with Shadow Pavilion, but there are some things that even Shadow Pavilion might not be aware of."
"Is that so? Then state your price." Qing Yu replied.
"I always advocate fair trade, as long as your information is valuable enough, I'll naturally take care of your affairs. It's been over a year since we started cooperating; you should know how trustworthy I am based on that alone."
"The credibility of Dragon Chief is something I would not be unaware of."
Though her face was veiled, Qing Yu could still see that this woman was smiling. Since cooperating with Qing Yu, who had always taken the lead, it was rare for Yun Wuyue to regain some ground. Even someone as cold as Yun Wuyue couldn't help but smile.
"Dragon Chief should be aware that the Martial Arts I practice were created by my master after achieving Martial Arts Divine, based on the Cultivation Technique of Yin Demon Sect," Yun Wuyue stated.
"The talent of Yin Sect Master is something I have only heard of, but deeply respect."
Her words were neutral, but when Qing Yu said she respected her, it was genuine. She really did have a high regard for Yin Tianxia.
Regardless of how she obtained her power, the mere fact that she could best Zhu Xiping, a master of Philosophy, deserved admiration.
Not to mention, after ascending to the Divinity Realm, Yin Tianxia progressed further, becoming one of the strongest, ranked ninth on the Heavenly List.
Nowadays, in the world, there was no woman who could reach the heights of Yin Tianxia. Yin Tianxia, ranked ninth on the Heavenly List, could be said to be the World's Number One female warrior at the moment.
Yun Wuyue continued, "Outsiders all believe that my master innovated upon our sect's 'Yin Ji Xuanmei Skill,' but they don't know that the foundation of the 'Taiyin Jade Chapter,' a Divine Skill, is not just the 'Yin Ji Xuanmei Skill' but also includes another Cultivation Technique. That Martial Arts is the true foundation of the 'Taiyin Jade Chapter.'"
"I would like to hear the details," Qing Yu expressed her interest.
Yin Tianxia became one of the strongest after creating the 'Taiyin Jade Chapter.' This indicated that the unknown Martial Arts was the key to Yin Tianxia's becoming one of the most powerful.
Knowing the long history of Yin Demon Sect, which had only produced Yin Tianxia as its sole strongest member, to attribute it solely to the 'Yin Ji Xuanmei Skill' was something Qing Yu could not believe.
Yun Wuyue did not play coy, saying, "Azure Sea and Blue Sky, Guanghan Immortal Palace. My master once assassinated the Young Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, absorbed her 'cultivation body,' and through integration, achieved her current accomplishments."
When discussing killing and usurping someone's power, Yun Wuyue was indifferent and spoke plainly.
Actually, this was not an intolerable act; in the Demon Path, such deeds were commonplace.
Not just in the Demon Path, any warrior in the Divinity Realm, aware of a chance to become the strongest, would pay any price.
'However...' Qing Yu's thoughts drifted, 'How exactly did Yin Tianxia seize the 'cultivation body'?'
Even if the unfortunate Young Palace Master of Guanghan Immortal Palace had been willing, she couldn't possibly transmit a sect's core Cultivation Technique to someone else.
A core Cultivation Technique was not just any Absolute Skill; it was key to a sect's legacy.
Take Zhenwu Sect, for example. The Four Symbols Ultimate Skills were available for ordinary disciples to learn a move or two, and true disciples could freely learn them provided they contributed enough. However, for the sect's most core 'Taixu Wuji Scripture,' one could forget about it. Every cultivator receiving it had to accept the strictest restrictions to prevent any external dissemination.
If Yin Tianxia wanted to take the Young Palace Master's 'cultivation body,' she must have used some special method. Even if her own Martial Arts and the Martial Arts of Guanghan Immortal Palace were of the same Yin nature, it wouldn't be easy to seize.
'Rumor has it that Yin Demon Sect possesses the most supreme Energy Absorption Method in the world, could it be...'
Ahem, she was drifting into speculation.
Qing Yu took her thoughts back and said, "It seems, your target lies with Guanghan Immortal Palace."
Yun Wuyue was clearly not boasting to Qing Yu about Yin Tianxia's success story; mentioning Guanghan Immortal Palace could not simply be an offhand comment.
Connecting it with what she said about Yin Tianxia seizing the Young Palace Master's 'cultivation body' of Guanghan Immortal Palace, could it be...
Qing Yu felt her thoughts beginning to stray again.
She had also heard of Guanghan Immortal Palace, where all the members were women, not a single man – how could that be, haha.
"The current Palace Master of Guanghan Immortal Palace is the younger sister of the assassinated Young Palace Master. Originally, she wasn't supposed to succeed the position. Palace Masters of Guanghan Immortal Palace are to remain unmarried and keep their Pure Yin state for life. However, this Palace Master was once betrothed to someone from the Jiang Family..." Yun Wuyue said with implied depth.
'The Jiang Family is a colossal entity,' Qing Yu inwardly exclaimed.
Originally among the Nine Provinces of the world, there was a great family for each province. Except for the family in Central Province that is always the current Imperial Family, changing with each dynastic shift, the other families rarely change.
However, three hundred years ago, when Northern Zhou was established, taking over Yan Province and Yun Province, the leading family of Yun Province did not submit and was eradicated. The Si Family submitted, but the Northern Zhou Imperial Family consistently weakened them out of fear, rendering them in name only.
In Daqian, including the Imperial Ji Family, there are Seven Great Families. Among these seven top-tier families, the strength of the Jiang Family is second only to the Ji Family.
