Chapter 501 - 501 501 Yu Ying's Conditions Sixth Update

501: Chapter 501: Yu Ying’s Conditions (Sixth Update) 501: Chapter 501: Yu Ying’s Conditions (Sixth Update) “Wuxia, we’re here.”

On that day, two figures arrived outside the mountain gate of Zhenyang Sect.

They were Long Yan and Wuxia.

Long Yan, holding Wuxia’s hand, whispered to her.

“Is this the Zhenyang Sect?”

Surveying the whole Zhenyang Sect, Long Yan murmured softly to himself.

Ahead of them were a small range of mountains, lush and green, shaded by trees and full of vibrant life.

Within the mountains, buildings were scattered, some spectacular waterfalls existed, and the environment around Zhenyang was actually pretty good.

In front of the mountains, two jade columns shaped like coiling dragons stood, next to which was a towering stone stele twenty feet high.

The three words “Zhenyang Sect” on it seemed to contain infinite mysteries.

This was Zhenyang Sect.

The area the Zhenyang Sect occupied was not small, but in the Southern Wasteland Continent, not many people knew about the Zhenyang Sect because, after all, the Zhenyang Sect was just a third-rate force on the Southern Wasteland Continent which could hardly hold any significant influence.

Ahead, where the mountain gate was, a few disciples of Zhenyang Sect were guarding it, their faces listless.

“Who is it?”

It was only until Long Yan and Wuxia were almost in front of them when they noticed the two.

One of the gatekeeper disciples immediately shouted in rebuke.

“I’m here to see the Sect Leader’s wife, Yu Ying, of the Zhenyang Sect,” Long Yan replied.

“How dare you!

How can you so casually utter the name of the Sect Leader’s wife?” The gatekeeper disciple scolded again.

“Yu Ying is my aunt.”

At this moment, Wuxia spoke up.

“Aunt?”

Hearing this, those gatekeeping disciples suddenly didn’t dare to take this lightly.

They were just outer disciples of the Zhenyang Sect and had no intention of offending those distinguished figures.

“You two wait here.

I’ll report immediately.”

A clever young man among them hurriedly ran into the Zhenyang Sect.

Long Yan and Wuxia quietly waited outside the mountain gate.

Less than an hour later, a figure flew out from Zhenyang Sect.

Her gaze immediately fell on Long Yan and Wuxia.

When the figure descended from the sky, she was already standing in front of both of them.

The woman was Yu Ying.

“Wuxia.”

Yu Ying looked at Wuxia and softly called out her name.

“Aunt.”

Wuxia immediately ran towards Yu Ying and flew into her arms.

At this moment, Long Yan was observing Yu Ying.

She was a beautiful woman, with perfect curves and an impressive figure.

Although her face couldn’t be considered extraordinarily beautiful, it was definitely not bad, without a single wrinkle, and indicating careful maintenance.

However, sadness marked her face and the conspicuous tear stains marred her beauty.

Yu Ying had the cultivation base of the Martial God Ninth Level.

“Aunt, this is my brother, who brought me here,” Wuxia said, breaking away from the hug and pulling Long Yan forward to introduce him.

“Come with me.”

Then, Yu Ying led Long Yan and Wuxia into the Zhenyang Sect.

“Aunt, Grandpa has passed away.”

In the courtyard, Wuxia could no longer hold back her tears and started crying.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying’s body trembled.

She pulled Wuxia into her arms, and with her eyes on Long Yan, asked, “What happened?”

“It’s like this…”

Long Yan didn’t hide anything, carefully explaining everything that had happened, not concealing a single detail.

“Dad…”

After listening, Yu Ying only felt a throbbing in her head, leaving her feeling a bit dizzy.

“Oh God, why, why has it come to this?”

Yu Ying’s body violently trembled, her entire being plunged into profound grief.

Her voice was tinged with desperation, and her cheeks became streaked with bloody tears.

“Could something have happened to the Zhenyang Sect?”

Long Yan began to speculate within his heart.

If it was only due to Yu Kun’s death, it wouldn’t have been sufficient enough to plunge Yu Ying into such a depth of sorrow.

An hour later, Yu Ying gradually managed to steady her emotions.

Her gaze once again fell upon Long Yan as she said, “You want to open the treasure vault to obtain the Order of the Holy Fire.

I can’t agree to it for now.”

“Why not?”

Long Yan’s eyebrows faintly creased as he quickly responded, “Rest assured, I only want the Order of the Holy Fire.

As for the other things in the treasure vault, I won’t take a single Spirit Stone.”

Compared to the Order of the Holy Fire, everything else was insignificant.

“It’s not that I don’t want to open the vault.

Even if the vault’s opened, there is no guarantee that you will get the Order of the Holy Fire.

In fact, it may even call forth disaster.”

Yu Ying explained.

“What exactly is going on?”

Long Yan asked again.

Right then, Yu Ying recounted all the events, including the change in the Zhenyang Sect half a month ago.

It was revealed that of the two talismans left to open the treasure vault, one was in Yu Ying’s possession, while the other served as the token of the Zhenyang Sect Leader.

Half a month ago, when the Zhenyang Sect Leader died, one of the talismans fell into the hands of Xiao Wuqing.

Originally, only Huang Haoran and Yu Ying knew about the treasure vault of the Zhenyang Sect, but once Huang Haoran inadvertently let it slip, Xiao Wuqing came to know of it.

Xiao Wuqing was Huang Haoran’s sworn brother.

Both Huang Haoran and Yu Ying trusted Xiao Wuqing completely and hence shared the existence of the vault with him.

In other words, only three people in the entire Zhenyang Sect knew about the existence of the vault.

After Huang Haoran’s death, all that was left was Yu Ying and Xiao Wuqing.

Xiao Wuqing only knew of the vault’s existence but was unaware of its whereabouts.

Now, one of the necessary talismans was with Xiao Wuqing.

To open the treasure vault, Xiao Wuqing’s knowledge of it was inevitable.

Once the vault was open, Xiao Wuqing would surely not let Long Yan take the Order of the Holy Fire.

“What if I am strong enough to take the Order of the Holy Fire?”

Long Yan spoke.

In the Zhenyang Sect, there was no one who could compete with the Spirit Girl.

As long as he could open the vault, he was sure to obtain the Order of the Holy Fire.

Nobody could obstruct him.

“Absolutely not.”

Yu Ying shook her head slightly and said, “The treasure vault is the foundation of the Zhenyang Sect and cannot be opened lightly unless…”

“Unless what?”

Long Yan asked.

“Unless you help me figure out whether my spouse’s and son’s deaths are related to Xiao Wuqing.”

Yu Ying spoke.

The real reason Yu Ying didn’t want to open the treasure vault was her growing suspicion of Xiao Wuqing.

For the past half a month, Xiao Wuqing had been using the opening of the vault, to enhance the strength of the Zhenyang Sect, as an excuse to find out about the vault’s location.

If the deaths of Huang Haoran and his son were related to Xiao Wuqing, then Xiao Wuqing undoubtedly sought the vault.

Once the vault was open, it would fall directly into the hands of Xiao Wuqing.

She couldn’t let Xiao Wuqing have his way.

“Well…

okay then.”

After a moment of hesitation, Long Yan agreed directly.

He had to obtain the Order of the Holy Fire, and also, he pitied Yu Ying.

Losing her father, husband, and son all at once was a pain only a few could truly understand.

“By the way, do you know why Wuxia’s grandfather doesn’t allow her to cultivate?”

Long Yan changed the topic.

“I indeed know the specific reason, but I can’t tell you.”

Yu Ying explained, “However, starting now, Wuxia can cultivate.

What should come will come sooner or later.

It’s unavoidable.”

“It seems the Yu family has quite a few secrets.”

Since Yu Ying didn’t want to speak, Long Yan naturally wouldn’t ask further.

However, he felt that the Yu family was becoming increasingly mysterious.

They undoubtedly had many secrets.
