The Yu family.

On a high-rise building, a man with long, flowing hair sat cross-legged, his brows slightly furrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This person was none other than Immortal Master Yuyang.

Zhang Lingshan always called him an old fellow, but that's because he didn't understand Master Yu Yang.

In reality, Master Yu Yang was a middle-aged man with regular features. He was even more handsome than Yu Chen, and had a more mature and charming appearance.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to deceive the women in the Xuanjiang Domain, thereby obtaining more powerful array techniques and the wealth that allowed him to rise to prominence.

However, these things are all secrets and cannot be told to outsiders, so not many people know about Master Yu Yang's past.

at this time.

Master Yu Yang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if something was missing. He immediately closed his eyes and began to communicate with the array patterns.

Within this area spanning tens of thousands of miles, there are array patterns personally arranged by him.

These array patterns possess various abilities, such as: monitoring, defense, attack, binding, and so on.

It was thanks to these array patterns that Master Yu Yang was able to firmly control this place.

This is the back garden of the Yu family.

But as he began to communicate with the array patterns, his heart sank and his face turned extremely pale.

really.

My perception was correct; something's wrong!
The array patterns in some areas malfunctioned and were depleted.

Continue to perceive.

He discovered that the one consuming the array runes was none other than Yu Chen, the most outstanding grandson of the younger generation of the Yu family.

'Who on earth could force Yu Chen to use up the array patterns I set up?'

Master Yu Yang was both surprised and suspicious.

Yu Chen is at the peak of the Transformation Realm, and his strength is among the top in the Yu family.

If he couldn't do anything to the other party, then how strong must the other party be?

However, within this defensive perimeter of ten thousand miles, everything is under the monitoring and perception of Immortal Master Yu Yang. If a powerful expert above the Transformation Realm were to appear, he would definitely receive a warning.

'What exactly happened? Who managed to break in?'

Master Yu Yang pondered for a long while, then suddenly said, "Someone come here."

"Owner!"

A dark figure immediately appeared outside the door and knelt on the ground.

Master Yu Yang said, "Investigate for me what happened in the Yellow Crane Sect's territory and why Yu Chen went there. Remember, it's just an investigation; don't get entangled in battle. The opponent is not weak."

"Yes."

The dark figure vanished quickly.

Just as the shadowy figure vanished, a woman's loud laughter suddenly echoed from inside the room: "Hahaha, karma has come, Yu Yang, your karma has come. Hahaha."

"What retribution?"

Yu Yang snorted and said, "It was just a little accident."

"Hahaha, foolish, ignorant! From the moment you deceived me, to the moment you began to confine this vast area and devour the vital energy and fortune of heaven and earth, your fate was sealed. You, you went too far in your actions."

The woman continued to laugh.

Yu Yang said, "Too ruthless? If you were to go too far, you would already be dead. How would you have the chance to speak here?"

"hehe."

The woman gave a mocking smile and said, "If you kill me, you'll die even faster. You know that. Back then, you were the one who tied your life to mine. Do you regret it?"

Yu Yang snorted, "My life is tied to yours, and your life is tied to mine. If I suffer retribution, do you think you'll get away with it? So, you should pray for me."

"Haha, pray for you? I'd rather devour your flesh and drink your blood! Die, die. Your retribution has come, I can feel it. This is a feeling that is connected to your heart, and you felt it too, which is why you didn't dare go to the Yellow Crane Sect at all, but sent your lackeys to their deaths. Hahaha."

The woman laughed loudly, wildly, her voice echoing throughout the entire building from the secret room beneath Yu Yang's buttocks.

"Shut up!"

Yu Yang's thoughts were exposed, and he became increasingly agitated. He immediately cast an array to seal the woman's voice below, his face turning extremely ugly.

'Are you scared? Am I really scared?'

Yu Yang reflected in his heart, but quickly shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid. I planted array patterns on Shadow's body. I sent him to use his eyes and body to help me sense who my opponent is. I want to see who is trying to mess with me."

……

Huang Hezong.

Not long after Zhang Lingshan swallowed the curse mark, he suddenly felt a chill and subconsciously unleashed a Heavenly Barrier Blade Intent.

laugh!
The sword intent cleaved through the sky, tearing a visible crack in the heavens.

"what!"

A shrill scream immediately echoed above Huanghe Sect.

Huang Yuanhe was horrified, only then noticing that a dark shadow had appeared in the sky.

The dark figure was struck head-on by the Heavenly Barrier Blade Intent, its entire body splitting in two before exploding into countless array patterns that fell into the sky above the sect master's peak and near Zhang Lingshan and Huang Yuanhe.

"Um!?"

Zhang Lingshan frowned, and with a thought, he immediately twisted the array patterns and made them his own.

but.

After all, it was still a step late.

'Is it a surveillance and sensing array?'

Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed to be Yu Yang's doing; he had sent people to investigate.

According to Zhang Lingshan's guess, the other party should have engaged him in direct combat, then recorded what happened through array patterns and fed back to Yu Yang.

But I didn't expect it.

His strength was greater than they had imagined; with a single strike of his Heavenly Barrier Blade Intent, he instantly killed the dark figure.

Even so, Yu Yang still had a backup plan: the shadowy figure's corpse exploded and transformed into monitoring and sensing array patterns, allowing him to see the commotion on this side as well.

I've been exposed!

As Zhang Lingshan had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.

Yu Yang, who was standing on the upper floor of the Yu family's attic, suddenly stood up, his face changed color in shock, and he couldn't help but tremble, whether from excitement or fear, it was hard to tell.

His reaction was so strange that even the woman in the cell beneath him sensed something was amiss and cried out, "What's going on, Yu Yang? Is this truly your retribution?"

"Haha."

Suddenly, Yu Yang burst into laughter: "Heaven is on my side! I never expected that the famous Lord of Ling Mountain would actually come to my territory. Hahaha."

Logically speaking, Yu Yang should not know Zhang Lingshan at all.

After all, even when he manifested himself on the Nine Provinces Continent, he never directly confronted Zhang Lingshan.

The only time he saw Zhang Lingshan was when Zhang Lingshan was in disguise and killed him, Yu Yang, with a single blow, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

but.

It doesn't matter.

Because not only was he killed, but Zhang Lingshan also killed Zhang's patriarch, Ji Mengxuan, Wushan Ghost Granny, and others.

Everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy.

Therefore, after returning to the upper realm, everyone immediately gathered to exchange information.

The most important thing was that the patriarch of the Zhang family drew Zhang Lingshan's image, which made everyone deeply imprint his appearance in their minds.

That's why, the moment Yu Yang saw Zhang Lingshan through the monitoring and perception array patterns that erupted from the shadowy corpse, he immediately recognized Zhang Lingshan's identity.

Although I don't know how this kid suddenly appeared on my turf, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is, the opportunity has arrived!
Who says it's useless to devour the fortune of a region spanning thousands of miles? Isn't this the very function of fortune?
Hahaha!
'It's laughable that Ji Mengxuan and Zhang Tianshi were still waiting for Zhang Lingshan to walk right into their trap in the Ascension Hall, not expecting that Zhang Lingshan had already ascended through another path.'

Master Yu Yang chuckled inwardly.

Waiting passively for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is the act of a fool.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he disdained the actions of Zhang Tianshi, Ji Mengxuan, and Wushan Ghost Granny guarding the Ascension Hall, and thus did not participate. He felt that once Zhang Lingshan ascended, he would definitely have a way to find him, and there was no need to waste time waiting in the Ascension Hall.

No matter how powerful Zhang Lingshan is, he will be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth when he comes to Xuanjiang Domain, and his strength will never be able to improve by leaps and bounds.

But he himself was a powerful being at the peak of the True Essence Realm.

Do we really need to wait for a rabbit to run into a tree stump to deal with a mere Zhang Lingshan?

This is the confidence of Immortal Master Yu Yang as a peak True Essence Realm expert, and the confidence of a local tyrant guarding a territory.

but.

The reality was somewhat unexpected.

Because Yu Yang discovered that Zhang Lingshan was incredibly strong, stronger than he had ever imagined.

Not only did he kill his own genius grandson Yu Chen, but he was also able to kill Shadow with a single blow.

You must know that Shadow is his confidant, who has received his true teachings and is at the True Essence Realm.

Even if his shadow is bound by his own limitations and he can only maintain the early stage of the True Essence Realm, he is still a True Essence Realm expert.

But he couldn't stop Zhang Lingshan's attack.

Unbelievable!

'Looks like I was wrong before. This kid has a way to circumvent the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth. Hmph, he really has good luck; he's really enjoying all the fortune of the Nine Provinces.'

Yu Yang harbored a secret resentment.

If it weren't for Zhang Lingshan's existence, he could have at least gotten one-eighth of the fortune of the Nine Provinces Continent.

Damn!

The thought that he had gone through so much trouble to descend to the mortal realm only to gain nothing made Yu Yang furious.

He wished he could rush to the Yellow Crane Sect right now, kill Zhang Lingshan directly, and at the same time devour the fortune of the Nine Provinces Continent that was bestowed upon him.

but.

Yu Yang did not do that.

The more excited he became, the calmer he remained.

The death of the shadow made him realize that even though Zhang Lingshan had only recently ascended to immortality, he could not underestimate him.

With a single slash, just one strike, the shadow was instantly killed.

This strength reminded Yu Yang of the time before the Holy Tower on the Nine Provinces Continent, when his manifested body was destroyed by Zhang Lingshan in a single move.

damn it.

This kid has always been ruthless, and he's still the same in the Upper Realm, arrogant and domineering, showing no restraint.

Yet, its strength is also so unbelievable.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yu Yang would never have imagined how a newly ascended youth could instantly kill someone at the True Essence Realm.

'This kid's ability to rise from humble beginnings, establish Mount Ling, and single-handedly defeat the eight ancient sects of the Nine Provinces is truly remarkable. Coupled with his extraordinary luck, if we don't subdue him with swift and decisive action, he will surely escape. We need to devise a foolproof plan.'

Yu Yang pondered for a long time.

Finally, having made up his mind, he began to rapidly form hand seals.

All of a sudden.

As he began to form hand seals, the entire Yu family, from clansmen to servants, all flew away, heading towards the array nodes in all directions. They then sat cross-legged, burning their blood and energy to reinforce the array nodes.

in this way.

Within this vast area, everything was under Yu Yang's control. No matter where Zhang Lingshan hid, he could sense him and arrive at the scene immediately.

"It took me nearly a hundred years to establish and expand the Yu family. And now, all that has been spent is for you, Zhang Lingshan. Therefore, your fortune, your flesh and blood, and the secrets of your cultivation techniques must be more than worthwhile; don't disappoint this immortal master."

Yu Yang sighed inwardly.

For the sake of Zhang Lingshan, the entire Yu family was sent out to serve as life-sustaining targets for the formation; the sacrifice was considerable.

However, as long as the gains are significant enough, these sacrifices are worthwhile!
"Yu Yang! You have acted perversely and are utterly devoid of conscience. You will die a horrible death. Going too far in everything is tantamount to suicide. Listen to my advice and stop immediately; you still have time."

The woman in the caged room shouted loudly.

but.

Yu Yang pretended not to hear, instead reinforcing the array patterns to seal its mouth shut, along with the entire pavilion, before sinking into the ground.

This woman, after all, is connected to my life, so I must hide her well.

Anyone can die, but she cannot.

After he captures Zhang Lingshan, he will take the woman away from here and find a new place to live in seclusion.

Yu Yang firmly believed that as long as he captured Zhang Lingshan and seized all the mysteries within him, he would be able to advance further, break through to the Spirit Origin Realm, and condense his Spirit Origin True Body.

in this way.

He could then sever his life connection with this woman, and from then on, he could roam freely in the vast sky and sea.

Hahaha.

Tweet!
Then Yu Yang stepped on the cyan sword, and his whole body transformed into a cyan stream of light, rushing towards the Yellow Crane Sect.

but.

When he arrived at the main peak of the Yellow Crane Sect, he found the place deserted.

'They ran away?'

Yu Yang scoffed inwardly.

Zhang Lingshan, that rascal, is indeed not easy to deal with. He is extremely quick to react and fled as soon as he sensed something was wrong.

but.

Yu Yang had anticipated this.

The reason for using array patterns to control all members and servants of the Yu family to go out and act as life-sustaining targets was to prevent this from happening.

now.

He had a firm grip on the entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles. No matter where Zhang Lingshan fled, he could not escape his grasp.

'Let me see where you've been hiding.'

Yu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

If someone were to observe closely, they would see through the slits of Yu Yang's eyes that there were complex patterns, with a glint of light on them.

If you zoom in on the pattern, you'll find that it's actually a map.

It was a map of the Yu family's territory, spanning thousands of miles.

To Yu Yang's surprise, no matter how he searched the map, he couldn't find any trace of Zhang Lingshan.

What happened?!

Yu Yang felt a sudden panic, sensing that something was very wrong.

I have already laid out all the necessary measures, so in theory I should be able to find Zhang Lingshan instantly. But why can't I sense even a hair on his head?
'Could it be that this kid is also skilled in formations, and even more so than me?'

Yu Yang's heart pounded wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

If that's really the case, then all my methods are simply a joke.

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! '

Feeling that he had lost his composure, Yu Yang shook his head fiercely, forcing himself to calm down.

His own array formations were painstakingly improved in the Xuanjiang Domain, and all his array techniques far surpassed those of the Nine Provinces Continent.

No matter how powerful Zhang Lingshan is, he is limited by the rules, and his array formations are only those of the Nine Provinces Continent.

How can anyone compare to myself?

There must be something wrong with my formation, rather than Zhang Lingshan's formation being stronger than mine.

With that thought in mind, Yu Yang immediately calmed down and began to sense again.

suddenly.

A slight smile played on his lips: "Hehe, found it!" (End of Chapter)
