A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Yu Xinlian's movements suddenly stopped, and the resolute look on her face was instantly replaced by panic.

She was so focused on the thought that she would rather give it to Chen Yang than let Mo Weihui have it, that she disregarded everything else.

But the contact just now suddenly filled her with an indescribable sense of unease.

That's terrifying!

Taking the opportunity, Chen Yang gently pushed her away and said helplessly, "Sister Xinlian, calm down! I told you, it's not the final moment yet. We need to do two things: first, find out where your brother is, and second, get that 1200 million yuan dowry."

Yu Xinlian nodded subconsciously, and it took her a while to realize her lapse in composure. Her cheeks instantly turned so red they looked like they could bleed.

She quickly waved her hands, her voice tinged with panic: "Okay, okay! That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

"What's so scary?" Chen Yang looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"N-nothing!" Yu Xinlian hurriedly changed the subject, her eyes hardening. "Let's wait for the Grand Elder. If he really forces me to marry that bastard from Red Abyss Valley, I'd rather die!"

At the same time, Yu Guanhong was walking briskly toward the study of clan leader Yu Guangzhi, overjoyed.

He knew that what the clan chief was most worried about was that Yu Xinlian would not obey. Now that things had taken a turn for the better, he was naturally eager to report the good news.

Inside the study, Yu Guangzhi, the head of the Yu family, was having a pleasant conversation with a portly man.

Although it was Yu family territory, the man in the main seat was the pot-bellied man—Mo Weihui, the Enforcer of Red Abyss Valley. Yu Guangzhi sat below him, his face full of smiles, his posture almost obsequious.

"Enforcer Mo, you know very well that our Yu family paid a considerable price to ensure Xinlian's marriage to you this time," Yu Guangzhi said cautiously, his tone tinged with probing. "Yu Xinlian's younger brother, Yu Huaqiang, was driven to suicide by me. If Xinlian finds out about this, she will surely hate our Yu family to the core!"

Mo Weihui sat in the main seat, took a sip of tea, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

Yu Guangzhi continued, "I'm not worried about her hating me, but once she marries into your Mo family, her power and status will rise dramatically. Who knows, she might even break through to the Divine Power Realm one day and wield considerable power—after all, the Mo family is a leading force in Red Abyss Valley. With just a little help, she could crush our Yu family! Enforcer Mo, what do you think we should do?"

Mo Weihui naturally understood Yu Guangzhi's concerns. He chuckled, his tone tinged with disdain: "Clan Chief Yu, you can rest assured! Although I like Yu Xinlian, I'm only attracted to her body. We're all men; even the most beautiful woman is just an empty shell. We'll get tired of her after three to five months."

He paused, a sinister glint in his eyes: "In less than six months, Yu Xinlian will become my cultivation vessel. What status will she gain then? As for her strength, that's even more laughable—it won't be long before her energy is completely depleted, turning her into a cripple whose talent I've drained!"

"As for your Yu family," Mo Weihui changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of condescension, "I'll only help you out in the future, considering your sensible nature. How could I allow Yu Xinlian to suppress you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Guangzhi's anxiety completely subsided. He laughed heartily and immediately raised his teacup: "Enforcer Mo is indeed a clear-headed man! Rest assured, Yu Xinlian is not only beautiful, but also possesses an exceptional physique. Coupled with her considerable talent, she will undoubtedly greatly benefit your cultivation as your future cultivation vessel!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. Just then, Yu Guanhong pushed open the door and walked in.

He first bowed respectfully to Mo Weihui, then turned to Yu Guangzhi and excitedly said, "Clan Chief! Good news!"

"Oh? What's making you so excited?" Yu Guangzhi asked.

"Yu Xinlian has agreed to marry Mo Zhifa as a concubine!" Yu Guanhong chuckled and explained, "She probably knows she can't escape, and since a big shot like Mo Zhifa has taken a liking to her, she's definitely happy. However, she made a request: a dowry of 1200 million spirit stones. If we don't give it, she won't agree, and then we'll have to use force."

"1200 million spirit stones?" Yu Guangzhi frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure. "What's this woman up to? She's asking for an exorbitant price!"

"Hahahaha!" Mo Weihui, seated at the head of the table, suddenly burst into laughter. "Only 1200 million spirit stones, and she'll willingly marry me as a concubine and serve me? That saves a lot of trouble!"

He said casually, "I was worried that after bringing her to Red Abyss Valley, I'd have to go through the trouble of looking after her. If 1200 million spirit stones can solve this problem, then it's well worth it! Patriarch Yu, give her the 1200 million spirit stones as soon as possible!"

Yu Guangzhi looked troubled: "Yes! But 1200 million spirit stones is indeed too much, and we need time to prepare."

"1200 million spirit stones is nothing more than worldly possessions." Mo Weihui waved his hand dismissively. "Your Yu family is in business; you must have a considerable amount of spirit stones stored up. Just give it to him. In the future, with a single word from me, the benefits you receive will far exceed these spirit stones!"

Yu Guangzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded, "Enforcement Mo is right! Since you've given the order, we'll do as you say! Yu Guanhong, go and make the arrangements!"

"Yes, Clan Chief!" Yu Guanhong quickly replied, overjoyed—with Mo Zhifa's words, the Yu family's future rise to prominence was just around the corner!

Mo Weihui laughed heartily and said with satisfaction, "Very good! Your Yu family has handled things efficiently, I'll remember your kindness! Don't worry, you'll understand how important this favor is to the Yu family in the future!"

Yu Guanhong and Yu Guangzhi looked at each other and laughed. Then Yu Guanhong turned around and left quickly to prepare the spirit stones.

The Yu family is, after all, a family of merchants with a deep foundation. Although 1200 million spirit stones is a lot, it is not a problem for them.

The elders split up and took out 900 million spirit stones from the family's reserves. They also borrowed 300 million from other merchants and soon raised the required amount.

Yu Guanhong, carrying a storage ring full of spirit stones, excitedly returned to Yu Xinlian's residence and pushed open the door.

When Yu Xinlian saw his beaming face, her heart sank instantly—as expected, even 1200 million spirit stones couldn't stop them!

She glanced at Chen Yang helplessly, and the thought of dying had already taken root in her mind.

She hadn't been too determined to die before, but after touching Chen Yang's weapon, images of the future kept flashing through her mind: she would have to endure Mo Weihui's disgusting attacks every day, and she would never be able to bear it!

"Xinlian, we have fulfilled your request for 1200 million spirit stones." Yu Guanhong handed the storage ring to Yu Xinlian, his tone urging her on, "Now, you should keep your promise."

"Okay." Yu Xinlian responded weakly, took the ring, and handed it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took the storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense. Sure enough, 1200 million spirit stones lay neatly inside! He casually transferred the spirit stones into his own storage ring, and the next moment, the system panel in his mind had been updated:

[Remaining Spirit Stones: 2100!]

"Elder, Sister Xinlian and I have some private things to discuss. Please wait outside for a moment while I finish giving her my instructions," Chen Yang said to Yu Guanhong.

"Haha, I trust you to get things done!" Yu Guanhong laughed, his eyes narrowing. "Alright, I'll wait for you outside. I'll give you some time!"

After saying that, he tactfully withdrew and closed the door behind him.

Inside the room, Yu Xinlian walked to Chen Yang's side, her tone tinged with bitterness: "Chen Yang, you should leave the Yu family as soon as possible. Don't get involved in my affairs anymore, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Sister Xinlian, you rest for a while and wait for me."

Before he finished speaking, he walked to an empty space in the room and suddenly waved his right hand!

"Swish swish swish swish!"

Five figures appeared out of thin air in an instant; they were five grandmaster swordsman puppets! They were dressed in purple-black gold armor, holding long swords, with cold eyes and exuding a chilling killing intent.

Without further hesitation, Chen Yang opened the system panel and silently chanted, "Upgrade the puppet!"

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 2000 million spirit stones and 4 Otherworldly Source Fragments to upgrade the Grandmaster Swordsman Puppet to a Sword Saint Puppet?]

"yes!"

[Ding! Your Grandmaster Swordsman Puppet has been upgraded to a Sword Saint Puppet!]
