Chapter 514: The Frontier Of Martial Cultivation (II)
From the very beginning, Zong Linjing's attention had been fixed on Lin Zheyu, this unfamiliar yet powerful cultivator. She had been observing his every move with great care.
"That pill was specially modified. The reason it gave off the aura of a Profound Origin Pill was just to mislead others," Lin Zheyu replied smoothly, having grown quite adept at making up explanations.
"I see. Thank you for your help this time. When we reach Yanwu City, feel free to ask if you need any assistance," Zong Linjing said sincerely.
"You are too polite, Fellow Zong," Lin Zheyu said with a smile before asking curiously, "By the way, from your earlier conversation, it seems there are quite a few conflicts between the Martial Alliance and the three great ancient martial esteemed families?"
"It's a long story. The Martial Alliance was initially founded collaboratively by the three esteemed families. However, as it grew stronger through the efforts of successive leaders and many experts shifting towards cultivating the Immortal Dao, it gradually gained independence from the three families. Despite this, in the Martial Realm, the Martial Alliance still lags behind the three great esteemed families. That’s why you saw what you saw earlier," Bai Lin explained.
"No wonder. I beat Woo Yixuan pretty badly just now. He will not run back to his father and come back for revenge, will he?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"Within the Martial Realm, definitely not. As long as Woo Yixuan is not dead or severely injured, it will be regarded as sparring. His loss would simply be due to inferior skill. Even if he seeks revenge, it would be through an open challenge, and at the same level of cultivation," Zong Linjing said. She then added, "But once you leave Yanwu City, you should be more careful."
"Oh, then there is no problem." Lin Zheyu nodded, letting go of his only concern.
Although the Martial Alliance was weaker, it was not something the three great ancient martial esteemed families could freely manipulate. They would not dare act recklessly within the Martial Realm. At most, they would send a few people to beat someone up and humiliate them, but would not go so far as to cause serious injury.

The Martial Realm was not very large. As the three chatted, they soon arrived at the Martial Alliance's base. The city where the Martial Alliance was located was called Yanwu City. It was much smaller than the Lei Family city, but it looked extremely imposing.
"Was this plaque written by the alliance leader?" Lin Zheyu clicked his tongue as he looked at the bold and unrestrained characters on the plaque at the gate of Yanwu City.
