Chapter 47: The Empire's Five New Moons

Late at night, Yuan Lianyao and Su Yan’s sudden visit scared Yu Yuan.

“What are you doing here?” Yu Yuan asked.

Everyone in the Yu Clan was still asleep.

Would it be these two women that caused all these?

“Are you the only one awake?”

Su Yan asked first. She looked at Yu Yuan from head to toe and said, “There has been such a commotion and no one awake? How is that possible?”

“How do you know so much about my clan?” Yu Yuan suspected that she was up to no good.

“I just happened to be passing by.” Su Yan paused and said, “Nowhere else seemed to have experienced the shake. What is your clan up to?”

“Sounds like none of your business!” Yu Yuan raised his brows and smiled. “Want to stick your nose into your clan’s affairs just because you are from the Su Clan?”

In fact, Su Yan’s words actually confirmed what he thought.

Only at the Yu Clan, nowhere else.

Despite that, he still wanted to figure out what was going on, but he hated how Su Yan attempted to command his clan as if they belonged to her.

“I am just curious.” After her encounter this morning, Su Yan knew very well what kind of person Yu Yuan was. “Since we are in a close business relationship for the past years, I just want to make sure everything is fine here.”

“Well thank you for your kindness.” Yu Yuan said sarcastically.

When he returned today, he heard from Yu Li that Su Yin came to visit in the morning.

Su Yin made Yu Can very upset, and many members of the Yu Clan were also displeased.

Not only did they want to take away the young master of the clan, but they also wanted a so-called alchemist that apparently helped the Yu Clan.

What gave them the right to ask for such requests?

They have never done anything good for the Yu Clan during the years anyway.

“I’m also interested to know what happened here.”

Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Yuan Lianyao smiled and joined the conversation. “As the mayoress of the city, I need to get more information in regard to such a weird incident.”

She did not have much of an opinion toward the Su Clan.

After Yuan Qiufang was taken away by Fang Yao, she expected soon they would gain support from the Red Devil Sect.

With this relationship, he was confident enough to face any clan in the empire.

Yu Yuan and the Su Clan’s conflicts seemed only to benefit the Yuan Clan in some ways.

“You seem to have known each other very well…” Su Yan whispered.

She looked at Yuan Lianyao, then glanced at Yu Yuan.

She knew that the lord of the Dark Moon City was not an easy one to make friends with.

This was also the reason why her uncle, Su Yin had come multiple times in the past to visit Yuan Lianyao.

Not only was she powerful, but her beauty was also one of the tops in the empire.

Among the cities big and small, many wanted to meet this beautiful lady and perhaps spend a night with her.

But Su Yan heard that no one ever succeeded in doing so.

Many of those who came never get to go back. They were either killed directly by her or got plotted against in some other ways.

It was not easy to approach this leader of the Yuan Clan and the Mayoress of the Dark Moon City.

“I thought his fiance was Lin Zhuyun…” Su Yan suddenly had a weird thought emerging from her mind, but she soon shook her head and said in her mind. “No way that can be true.”

“Since Sister Mayoress wants to know a little, I can help you with that.” Yu Yuan smiled and said, “But as for her, there’s no way!”

Yuan Lianyao understood what he wanted to do. “Sister Su, how about let’s meet another day?”

Then, Yuan Lianyao followed Yu Yuan into the gates of the Yu Clan.

“Next time you come here, please come during the day.” Yu Yuan snorted. “Don’t come again like this being suspicious around here.”

Yu Yuan was triggered by how Su Yin tried to put pressure on his clan just because of his background.

He felt disgusted by the Su Clan and Su Yan.

Not only that, he could put the herbs produced from his clan into better use and sell for a higher price.

With his existence, the Yu Clan won’t necessarily need the Su Clan anymore.

He had already secretly decided not to provide any more raw materials to the Su Clan in the future.

He planned to keep all the herbs for his own use.

After another round of sarcasm, Yu Yuan let Yuan Lianyao into his own room.

Slam!

He purposely shut the door loudly so that Su Yan could hear.

Looking at the front gates of the Yu Clan, Su Yan’s face was as green as a rusted piece of copper.

…

“You talked awful a lot today.”

Yuan Lianyao picked a spot without broken pottery and sat down. She said to Yu Yuan with a smile, “Do you know who she is?”

“Nope.” Yu Yuan said quickly.

“Su Yan, the daughter of Su Xiangtian.” When Yuan Lianyao said “Su Xiangtian”, her expression suddenly became stern.”Su Xiangtian is one of the most significant figures in the whole empire. Even though he is part of the Su Family, he is still not the direct descendant.”

“But even so, due to his contributions to his clan, he might become the leader of the Su Clan in the near future!”

“Furthermore, he is already a Yin God!”

“Su Yin, who is the same age as him and a direct descendent, was only at the Middle Stage of the Dark Burst Realm.”

Yuan Lianyao said softly.

“Yin God.” Yu Yuan was also a little surprised. “The Su Yin here this morning is whole two realms under Su Xiangtian.”

“This man is admired by many in the empire.” Yuan Lianyao was a little saddened. “And this girl from the Su Clan is just as famous as your fiancee Lin Zhujun, both are the future hopes of the empire. Along with three others, they are called the five “New Moons” of the empire.”

“Su Xiangtian? New Moons?” Yu Yuan never heard about these before.

After he first gained consciousness a few months ago, he had been focused mainly on the things in the city and the sects in the Land of Extinction.

He had never actually taken the time to learn about the situation of the Silver Moon Empire and the other cities.

Regardless of Su Xiangtian or the so-called “New Moons”, they were nothing compared to where he was last lifetime.

After all, he was once at the top of the social pyramid.

He had seen the best of all people, so these so-called excellent of the empire was not impressive for him.

He didn’t even bother to ask who the other three of the new moons were.

“All five of them will attend that festival of the empire.” Yuan Lianyao explained. “Even the Queen is looking forward to that event.”

“That’s not what I want to know right now.” Yu Yuan changed the topic. “What did you see about the Yu Clan just then?”

“From what I could tell with my spiritual senses, I saw a heavy mist covering your clan’s property. In the mist was endless sadness.” Yuan Lianyao thought for a moment and continued, “Su Yan told me that I got lured into the sadness as well, and I saw memories from my past.”

“Also, the weird earthquake was also true. We looked around to meeting with you.”

“All the other clans were just fine.”

“Can you tell me what happened to your clan?” She stared at Yu Yuan. “And why are you the only one awake?”

Yu Yuan frowned and said, “Looks like it is indeed a bit weird.”

At first, he thought the sadness in that fan wasn’t all that powerful.

But according to Yuan Lianyao’s descriptions, the sadness was able to overwhelm the entire area of the Yu Clan?

That little power emerging from the fan could never be able to affect such a massive area by itself, not to mention that it even affected Yuan Lianyao who already stepped into the Nuance Realm!

Unless……

Unless there was some other device that amplified the effectiveness of the fan!

“What could that be? A powerful formation in the Yu Clan?”

Suddenly, he had a clue. It must be because of the glowing walls and pillars he saw moments ago.
