Wang Long lightly waved his right hand, and the Thunder Element Annihilation Sword vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, Yu Yaoran rushed over with his personal guards to Wu Han's side.
"He's already dead," one of his guards, Leader, approached to check and shook his head at Yu Yaoran.
"Is that so?" Yu Yaoran appeared somewhat disappointed. "In that case, we can't confirm whether the person behind him is..."
"Young Master, it's all A Meng's fault. If Wang Long Your Excellency hadn't used such fierce techniques to kill him in one blow to save my life, it wouldn't have come to this," A Meng hurriedly interjected, fearing that Yu Yaoran might say something to provoke Wang Long.
Yu Yaoran understood his meaning and waved his hand to explain, "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame anyone. Just from what he said when he was momentarily pleased, I already guessed who wanted my life!"
Wang Long observed the situation around them; they had gained an absolute advantage. The remaining soldiers no longer required his direct intervention. He walked over to Yu Yaoran and calmly said, "Now that the external enemies have been dealt with, do you have anything you need to explain to us? For instance, how could an important figure from Zhuoyang Village attract such a powerful individual? Although I'm not very familiar with your so-called Zhuoyang Village, I can deduce that even if your Zhuoyang Village outnumbers Fire Village and Alin Village, it shouldn't warrant the attention of so many formidable experts. That Ninja Four Spirit Gods, based solely on assassination skills, likely surpasses some small Sect leaders! Even if you are the village chief of Zhuoyang Village, that would be hard to justify!" After this battle, Wang Long felt enlightened and was not afraid of confronting Yu Yaoran directly.
"Hehe, Lord Wang Long, please don't be angry. I indeed owe Your Excellency an explanation for this matter." Yu Yaoran now held Wang Long's strength in high regard. Although he had temporarily escaped danger, given the power displayed by Wang Long this time, if he couldn't secure such a strong ally, his future days would still be fraught with peril!
"That's right; I'm not just a merchant from Zhuoyang Village but directly from the Yu Family of Nanhua Village!" After revealing his identity, Yu Yaoran exuded an air of authority beyond that of a mere scholar. It was clear that someone who had not held a high position for long could not possess such a commanding presence. Moreover, there was great pride in his demeanor regarding his family!
"Uh, I've never heard of it; get to the point."
"..." Yu Yaoran's pride was nearly choked off by Wang Long's words. "Well then, since you haven't heard of it, let me start from the beginning."
"Our Yu Family can be considered an important force in Nanhua City. For generations, we have been invited by the city lord Lu Feng as key advisors. Coupled with our expertise in commerce, we have become talents capable of making money throughout the divine realm; thus, we have deep roots in Nanhua City."
"I see," Wang Long nodded. No wonder they could afford so many experts. To put it somewhat exaggeratedly, at one point Yu Yaoran had enough capability to severely damage Fire Village's Defensive Array. This lineup was still remnants that had broken away from their main forces; such strength in Nanhua City surely wasn't something just anyone could muster. "However, since your power is so strong within Nanhua City's sphere of influence, who was so blind as to provoke you? Aren't they afraid of facing your Yu Family's full retaliation once things are exposed?"
"I originally thought the same way, so I was puzzled about the identities of these bandits," Yu Yaoran said with a bitter smile. "But it wasn't until I heard Wu Han say something that I finally understood. The person behind all this isn't afraid of our Yu Family's retaliation at all, because they are actually part of our Yu Family!"
"Ah?" Yu Yaoran's words didn't scare Wang Long, but they shocked his bodyguards, Leader and A Meng. "Young Master, how is this possible? Why would there be..."
As they spoke halfway, both of them fell silent.
In dealing with unexpected situations, the two may have had different ranks, but spending a long time in a large family like the Yu Family made them understand more of the underlying "truths" than outsiders.
"Oh? Is it related to seizing the position of the family head?" Wang Long said with a sarcastic smile, directly pointing to the essence. Although he didn't know whether this Yu Yaoran was the only son in their Yu Family or had brothers, it didn't really matter. After all, back in Long City, even a single elder could cause the death of a father and force a betrayal to seize control of Long City's power. It seemed that the internal complexities of this so-called Yu Family wouldn't be any less than those in Long City.
"Exactly!" Yu Yaoran was taken aback, not expecting Wang Long to guess correctly so quickly. "What Wu Han just said—that even if he killed me, he wouldn't be betraying the Yu Family—must be for this reason. He has secretly allied with my second brother!"
"This time it's actually the Second Young Master!" A Meng and Leader were even more shocked. However, they immediately realized something and spoke in unison: "Young Master, please trust our loyalty to you. This time we will definitely stand by your side and will never betray you!"
"Good, I have always believed in your loyalty. With your help, I have nothing to fear even if I confront the second brother directly!" A hint of relief appeared on Yu Yaoran's face, but soon his gaze fell on Wang Long. "Lord Wang Long..."
"Heh heh, Young Master wouldn't want my loyalty too, would you?" Wang Long said half-jokingly.
"Naturally not," Yu Yaoran replied awkwardly with a smile. "Lord Wang Long's skills would surely be valued by Lord Lu Feng as well. Although our Yu Family has some influence in Nanhua City, we certainly cannot compare to Lord Lu Feng." Yu Yaoran was unaware of Wang Long's true purpose for coming to Nanhua City but could analyze that it wasn't simply for trading goods; otherwise, they could have just found a village along the way to exchange goods and returned home without needing to travel all the way to Nanhua City.
Combining this with Wang Long's abilities, it was likely that he wanted to make an impression in front of Lord Lu Feng and directly join the forces in Nanhua City for rapid advancement!
Now he had automatically categorized Wang Long as someone like A Meng—a high-ranking sect's discarded disciple—though certainly much stronger than A Meng. He believed Wang Long harbored ambitions and was unwilling to spend his life in some small village; hence he came to Nanhua City seeking opportunities to rise up.
"However, if Your Excellency could lend a hand in my competition with my second brother, then Yu Yaoran will forever remember Lord Wang Long's great virtue and will surely repay it in the future!"
This time, A Meng did not dare to voice any objections to Yu Yaoran's significant promise. Initially, A Meng thought this person was too arrogant, but now realized that he was genuinely low-key. Otherwise, if he wanted to assert dominance, he could easily deal with A Meng.
"Well, alright then." Wang Long pondered for a moment and nodded. Regardless, it seemed that Yu Yaoran's performance was quite good. Although he often mentioned the matter of the thousand Ancient Spirit Stones without knowing his own strength, overall he was still quite polite to them. Moreover, if he could help Yu Yaoran seize the position of head of the Yu Family, then reciprocating kindness might make the proposal for relocating people to the newly established village near Fire Village pass more smoothly.
After both parties reached an agreement again, Yu Yaoran felt more confident in his own strength. With the enemies he was most worried about already dealt with, even if his second brother had great courage, he would not dare to openly attack him once they entered the heart of Nanhua City. Thus, he boldly set his carriage on a direct path toward Nanhua City.
