Scholartree Manor was located southwest of the Sangzhou. Compared to Ling Yizongâs Maple County, Cyan Tree Sectâs Songzhou and Thousand Lake Sectâs Tong County, it was originally the most complicated region in the cultivation world of the entire Sangzhou. After the arrival of the foreign forces, the situation of the Scholartree County became even more chaotic.
In the dense forest of a certain canyon, Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi dragged their exhausted bodies back to the depths of the canyon. At the same time, they also returned with two bronze puppets, but in this temporary resting place, Sang Shenerâs face was pale white as she leaned againsree. She looked weak and weak, as if she would collapse at any time without the support of the tree.
Yang Junhao sat down on the ground without showing the slightest bit of his strength, and leaned on the other side of the big tree, fiercely breathing a little more evenly, and said: âWe can temporarily block the two of them, only that the protective barrier of this secret canyon has already been broken through three levels, and I probably wonât be able to hold on for much longer with the last two levels. When that happens, weâll probably have to fight to the death with them.â
Yang Junqi sat cross-legged on the other side, flipping over with both hands, both of them held a crystal in their hands, and started to cultivate, recovering the exhausted True Essence in their bodies. But looking at the Spirit Qi undulations around her body, she was impressively at the second stage of the realms of life, it could be seen that during Sangzhouâs many years of travelling, Yang Junqi also had another fortuitous encounter.
Sang Shener stretched out her hand and pulled, causing two light sounds to ring out. The two puppets that had just returned with Yang Junhao and Yang Junqi each had a thin transparent thread retracting back into his hands, if one did not look carefully, they would not even notice it.
The two threads retracted back into Sang Shenerâs hands and after losing the two thousand-year-old Ice Silks, the two puppetsâ fighting strength immediately stayed still on the spot.
Yang Junhao glanced at the two puppets and praised: âItâs all thanks to these two thread drawing puppets, they are much stronger than normal Heavenly Dipper Realm puppets. If not for these two puppets, with just the formation technique restrictions from the treasure trove, we would not have been able to persevere.â
Sang Shener laughed bitterly: âWe are only barely maintaining it, with my spiritual sense, it is impossible for me to control the two puppets for long, if Fourth Brother did not come, then the three of us would not be able to escape the secret treasure trove, since the two people blocking the way are the top two amongst Ling Yizongâs true disciples.â
âEven if Fourth Bro comes, so what? You said it, the two people outside are outstanding disciples of Ling Yizong, existences of Taihang Realm, Fourth Bro went all out to deal with one of them, who amongst us can deal with the other two?â
Yang Junqi who was initially cultivating suddenly opened her eyes and said coldly.
Sang Shener remained silent while Yang Junhao stood at the side and said, âTenth Sister, what kind of dejected words do you mean, we should believe Fourth Brother!â
However, Yang Junqi turned a deaf ear to Yang Junhaoâs words, and said to Sang Shener: âSister-in-law, are you still planning on hiding this from us? If the two people outside clearly know our identities, then I suspect that they are not here for us, but to lure fourth brother. Donât forget, one of the two people outside had a grudge with fourth brother. â
Sang Shener dodged Yang Junqiâs gaze, while Yang Junhao stood to the side and tried to persuade her, she spoke in a defensive tone, âTenth Sister, are you thinking too much? We have already been stuck here for such a long time, and during this period of time, we have also been fighting more than one or two times with the aid of the Secret Treasure Inhibition Formation.
Just as Yang Junqi was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice from outside the valley: âJunior Sang, how come you two senior brothers do not know to come out to meet each other? Did you think that after leaving Ling Yizong, we would not recognize you?â
Yang Junqi simply shut her mouth, and for a moment, Yang Junhao didnât know what to say either.
Sang Shener laughed bitterly and said: âSenior Sister has guessed correctly, those two outside did indeed come here secretly after finding out my identity, but they might have found out that Jun Hao and I were together with Ling Yizong back then, so they did not know the background of Jun Hao and the Tenth Sis Yang Family.â
Yang Junqi did not intend to fall out with Sang Shener, after hearing what she said, she sighed and said: âI hope so, but Thirteenâs heart is completely focused on you, and I have long noticed that you may have intentionally brought us to this secret treasury, in truth, you already knew about the existence of this secret treasury, right? Furthermore, after entering the Secret Treasure Trove, even though you tried your best to hide it, it is still difficult to hide the familiarity that you have here. â
Yang Junhaoâs expression was stunned, he could not care about his exhaustion, and turned to look at Sang Shener beside him.
Sang Shener laughed bitterly: âTenth Sister guessed right, but it is much more intricate than the guy beside her. However, Tenth Sister should know, I have no ill intentions in bringing you guys here.â
âThatâs because of Little Haoâs absolute trust in you!â
Yang Junqi said, then said: âIf you really had any malicious intent, you wouldnât have shared the treasures in this secret treasury with Thirteen and me. I wouldnât have advanced to Gangli Accumulation Realm so quickly, and I wouldnât have teamed up with you to defend against the two Ling Yizong cultivators outside.â
Yang Junhao could not help but ask: âJust where did this secret trove come from, and why would you hide it from me?â
A bitter expression appeared on Sang Shenerâs face, but she still replied in a low voice: âThis place, is a secret treasure that my father had left for me!â
Yang Junhaoâs face revealed a look of disbelief, his teacher, who was also Sang Shenerâs father, was merely an ordinary Gangli Accumulation Realm cultivator. As an outer sect elder, he did not have many feelings of existence in the entire Ling Yizong, but the things that had been unearthed over this period of time, were obviously the remnants of an extremely rich Great Divine Cultivator.
âNo, heâs my biological father!â Sang Shener said softly.
âSenior Brother Cheng, how long will it take for us to break these restrictions?â
Xu Tiancheng asked as he looked at the surrounding scene in the canyon.
A cultivator dressed in white who had an elegant demeanor formed a few seals in his palm, and then, he faced a clump of trees in front of him, and with a crackling sound, a ray of lightning shot back and forth, causing the grass in the area to explode into pieces, and a seal that was originally hidden in the area was removed, then Senior brother Cheng stood up and said: âHow could Sang Wujiâs inheritance be broken so easily?â
âHowever, you and I have already wasted more than a month here. I believe that there arenât many restrictions left in this valley, and it should be in the next three to five days. At that time, the three people hiding in the depths of the canyon wonât be able to escape!â
Senior brother Chengâs tone was full of confidence, and it was clear that he was full of pride.
After Xu Tiancheng heard this, he asked in surprise, âSenior Brother, can you finally confirm that this treasure was left behind by Sang Wuji?â
Furthermore, Sang Shenerâs father, Sang Gensheng, was the one who followed Sang Wuji all those years ago. It would be reasonable for Sang Wuji to inform Sang Gensheng about the secret treasury before her death, and now that Sang Genshengâs daughter has indeed found her way here, there is no doubt about it. â
Senior Brother Chengâs explanation sounded reasonable.
When Xu Tiancheng heard this, he laughed: âTruly, breaking iron and finding a place to do so doesnât require much effort to obtain it. Thinking about how so many people in the sect coveted the inheritance of the Tiancheng, it iity that after Sang Wuji committed suicide, no one knew the clue to the inheritance of the Tiancheng, and the sect purposely left a trail of Sang Genshen behind. He originally had his suspicions, but did not think that Sang Genshen would be able to endure it, even after he died without finding any trace of Sang Wujiâs inheritance.
If he had not committed a heinous crime and killed himself in front of the sectâs few Patriarchs in shame, it is likely that the one who will be truly in charge of Ling Yizong today will not even be Junior Master Blueflower. If he really left behind the legacy of the Tiancheng in this treasure deposit, then our achievements in the future might not necessarily be lower than him. â
Xu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: âSenior Brother Tian Yu, do you know what crime that Sang Wuji committed in the past?â
Spiritual Master Cheng Tianyu glared at him and said, âI donât know either. All the elders in the sect who know about this seem to keep it a secret.
Xu Tiancheng âheheâ laughed, and said: âHow would I dare? But seriously, Senior Brother, do we need to report this treasure deposit to the sect? â
Cheng Tianyu seemed to have already understood what Xu Tiancheng was thinking about, his eyes slanted into a smile as he asked: âWhat do you think, Junior Brother Xu?â
Xu Tiancheng looked at Cheng Tianyu, as if he did not notice the ridicule from the corner of Cheng Tianyuâs mouth, and said in a low voice: âIf we report it to the sect, it will definitely alarm the Dao Ancestorâs seniors, at that time, I wonder if I can leave some leftovers for you and me.â
Cheng Tianyu laughed out loud and said: âBreak the formation first, the so-called clues for the Tianchengâs inheritance are just guesses between you and me, even if you want to report it to the sect, you canât possibly do it without any proof, can you, Junior Brother Xu?â
Xu Tiancheng clapped his hands together after hearing that, and said, âSenior Brother Cheng is right. It would be best if you and I were to thoroughly understand the contents of this inheritance. However, the rest depends on Senior Brother.â
Cheng Tianyu also laughed: âAlso, you need to borrow the power of junior brotherâs spatial teleportation gourd. Although those two Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns are nothing, and her two helpersâ strength are limited as well, borrowing the formation restrictions that exist everywhere is troublesome. Also, you have to be wary of any accomplices that might appear.â
Xu Tiancheng patted his chest and said: âDonât worry senior, itâs just a few little clowns. If our brothers and I teamed up, who else would the Dao Realm experts be afraid of?â
