Chapter 400: The Beaten Sheng Xiao
Yu Huang pretended not to know what had happened in the Saint Tomb. She pretended to be curious and asked Yin Rong, “What happened?”
Yin Rong bit her lip and raised her head while staring at Yu Huang in shame. She didn’t speak, but Yu Huang could sense her self-reproach.
Yu Huang sighed inside, but her expression was still cold and aloof.
“I…” Yin Rong’s face turned even redder. She stammered and said softly,” I met you in that round, but I didn’t know that it was the Tomb Guardian Beast that had transformed into you. During the test, in order to obtain the inheritance, I was bewitched by the Tomb Guardian Beast, so… ”
Yin Rong lowered her head again and said with difficulty, “I killed you.”
Yin Rong finally mustered her courage and confessed the truth. She looked so uneasy.
Yin Rong felt that she was very selfish. To think that Yu Huang treated her as a good friend while she killed Yu Huang for personal benefits.
After being teleported out of the Saint Tomb, Yin Rong had been blaming herself and feeling ashamed.
When she faced Yu Huang earlier, Yin Rong didn’t even have the courage to approach her. After telling the truth, although she felt flustered, Yin Rong felt more at ease.
Yu Huang’s gaze finally landed on Yin Rong.
Yin Rong sensed Yu Huang’s gaze and raised her head to meet her gaze. “Yu Huang, I… let you down.” Other than apologizing, Yin Rong didn’t know what else she could say.
Yu Huang said, “Actually, I knew long ago.”
Yin Rong suddenly raised her head when she heard this. She stared at the faint smile on Yu Huang’s lips and was momentarily stunned.
“The Tomb Guardian Beast told me what you did to me.”
Yin Rong was even more ashamed when she heard this. “I’m sorry, Yu Huang. Back then… I might have been possessed. When I stabbed you, I regretted it.”
Yin Rong covered her face with her hands and said in pain, “Fortunately, it wasn’t you. What if I really stabbed you?”
Yu Huang hugged her sword and told Yin Rong calmly, “Yin Rong, you don’t have to feel guilty towards me. If I were you, I would also be unable to be rational at all times. I don’t blame you, but…”
Yu Huang tilted her head and looked into Yin Rong’s eyes. She said, “But from now on, you will never be my trusted friend anymore, because you betrayed me.”
Yu Huang really didn’t blame Yin Rong and could even understand Yin Rong’s actions back then. However, it was impossible for her to continue being friends with Yin Rong.
Someone who had betrayed her once could no longer be trusted.
When Yin Rong heard Yu Huang’s words, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle. However, she also understood that betrayal was the worst. She could no longer shamelessly beg Yu Huang for forgiveness.
“I understand. Yu Huang, I’m sorry.” With that said, Yin Rong turned around and ran back to the Yin Clan. The sachet tied to her waist swayed gently as she ran.
Yu Huang stared at the sachet on Yin Rong’s waist and thought of all the kind things Yin Rong had done in the past. The coldness in her eyes faded a little.
However, she still turned around resolutely and left the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb before rushing towards the Sheng Clan’s Saint Tomb.
…
In the Sheng family’s Saint Tomb.
The disciples of the Sheng family and the disciples of the affiliated families had found a treasure land suitable for their seclusion. Sheng Yang and Sheng Xiao had also entered the Saint Tomb of Prime Master Tie Feng.
Sheng Lingfeng’s personal disciples sat around Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb. They quietly breathed spiritual energy in and out while cultivating every second.
Suddenly, a gust of wind approached from afar.
“Who’s here?” Sheng Zhou immediately opened his eyes and looked at the sky. He saw a red light flying over quickly.
Seeing the familiar pair of Vermillion Bird wings, Sheng Zhou smiled and said, “So Young Madam is here!”
Hearing this, the male disciples beside Sheng Zhou opened their eyes and looked at Yu Huang happily.
Yu Huang retracted her wings and landed in front of Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb. She knelt down and kowtowed three times to Prime Master Tie Feng before walking to Sheng Zhou and the others.
“Young Madam, where did you fly from?”
“Why did you disappear from the Saint Pond?”
“Why are your clothes torn? Were you in danger?”
Their concern made Yu Huang feel extremely touched.
She walked to an empty grass patch and sat down cross-legged. Then, she told them, “After entering the Saint Pond, I was teleported to the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb. I’ve been at the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb for the past few days.”
“Huh?” After knowing that Yu Huang had actually sneaked into the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb, a male disciple called Sheng Wuque immediately gave Yu Huang a thumbs up. “How impressive. You actually sneaked into someone else’s Saint Tomb.”
Upon hearing this, another male disciple called Sheng Wuyang frowned and said in confusion, “That’s not right. The stone door at the entrance of every family’s Saint Tomb has the soul consciousness of their ancestor. You’re a member of the Sheng family. How did you sneak into the Yin family’s Saint Tomb?”
“That’s true. How did you do it, Young Madam?” Everyone was curious about what Yu Huang had done.
Yu Huang smiled mysteriously and said, “Not only did I successfully enter the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb, but I also obtained the Yin Clan’s Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance.”
The surroundings of the Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb instantly fell silent.
Sheng Lingfeng’s personal disciples all looked at Yu Huang in shock. For a moment, they couldn’t tell if Yu Huang was joking or telling the truth.
Unable to guess Yu Huang’s thoughts, Sheng Wuyang warily asked Yu Huang, “Young Madam, are you serious?”
Seeing that these fellows did not dare to believe her, Yu Huang suddenly closed her eyes, and a teardrop-shaped colored tear appeared on Yu Huang’s head.
Yu Huang opened her eyes and pointed her right hand in the direction of the Sheng family disciples. The teardrop enveloped Sheng Wuyang and the others.
Enveloped by the teardrop, Sheng Wuyang and the others immediately sensed that their physical strength and spiritual power were suppressed by some powerful and terrifying force. They could not even move!
If Yu Huang wanted to kill them, she could take advantage of these few seconds to chop off their heads!
Everyone was shocked!
What kind of terrifying cultivation technique was this?!
The tear quickly disappeared. At the same time, Sheng Wuyang and the others returned to their peak state and regained control of their bodies.
Sheng Wuque looked at Yu Huang with fear. “Young Madam, what cultivation technique is this?” They knew Yu Huang quite well. From the information they had, Yu Huang had never learned such a cultivation technique.
Yu Huang smiled proudly and said, “This is the Yin Clan’s Prime Master Jing An’s inherited cultivation technique, Tears of Reincarnation!”
“!”
“Good lord!” Sheng Wuyang and the others widened their mouths in shock. “Young Madam, you really obtained the Yin Clan’s inheritance?”
Yu Huang nodded.
“Impressive. The Yin Clan’s Prime Master Jing An was the first batch of Prime Masters to be buried in the Saint Tomb. All these years, the Yin Clan has sent two hundred core disciples to participate in the inheritance test, but not a single one of them has succeeded. Even Prime Master Yin Mingjue failed back then.”
“I didn’t expect that the hard bone of the Yin Clan would actually be bitten by the Young Madam of the Sheng Clan!” Sheng Wuque and the others gave Yu Huang a thumbs up and praised her for being impressive.
Their young master was really impressive. Not only was he impressive, but his wife was also impressive.
Yu Huang waved her hands and said, “Alright, everyone, cultivate in peace.”
“Okay.”
Everyone sat cross-legged around Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb. Soon, they calmed down.
After they calmed down, Sheng Wuyang and the others also sobered up. They immediately realized that Yu Huang’s words were just a lie!
If Yu Huang was able to enter the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb because of an unorthodox method, then how did she obtain the inheritance?
Prime Master Jing An was a Prime Master. How could she not see through Young Madam’s tricks?
Only the direct bloodline of the Yin Clan could obtain the inheritance of the Yin Clan’s Prime Master! This was a rule that would never change!
Since Young Madam was able to obtain the Yin Clan’s Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance, there was only one possibility—
Young Madam was the Yin Clan’s direct descendant!
Sheng Wuyang and the others thought of this possibility at the same time. They opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Yu Huang with mixed gazes.
Yu Huang was being stared at by five to six pairs of eyes, so she naturally couldn’t really remain indifferent. She shook her head helplessly and asked them, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Sheng Wuyang said with certainty, “Young Madam, are you a direct descendant of the Yin family?”
Since Sheng Zhou was his eldest disciple, Sheng Lingfeng had spent a lot of effort on him. He was naturally the most levelheaded and shrewd among his fellow disciples.
The others only thought that Yu Huang was a direct descendant of the Yin Clan, while Sheng Zhou thought of a past from 21 years ago.
Sheng Zhou stared at Yu Huang’s face and said thoughtfully, “If I remember correctly, Young Madam is 21 years old this year. I did some calculations. If the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue had not been stolen, she would be 21 years old now.”
Sheng Zhou stared at Yu Huang with a burning gaze. He said with certainty, “Young Madam, you’re the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue, right?”
The Sheng family disciples were all stunned.
“What?! Young Madam is the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue?”
“Is that true?”
Being glared at by her senior brothers, Yu Huang couldn’t take it anymore. She smiled helplessly and could only admit, “It’s me.”
After receiving Yu Huang’s affirmation, Sheng Zhou looked at Yu Huang excitedly.
“It’s really you!” Sheng Zhou told Yu Huang. “When Prime Master Yin Mingjue held the 100-day banquet for you, my mentor brought me and Sheng Xiao to attend your banquet. You were so small when you were lying on the crib. I didn’t dare to reach out to hug you.”
Sheng Zhou looked at Yu Huang as if he was looking at a miracle. He sighed with emotion. “I really didn’t expect you to still be alive.”
Yu Huang smiled and said, “I can’t be killed.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re blessed since you survived such a calamity.”
As he spoke, the Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb suddenly shook.
Seeing this, Yu Huang immediately turned to look at the stone tablet behind her. She stared at the trembling ground under the stone tablet and asked Sheng Zhou, “How many days have they been in?”
Sheng Zhou told Yu Huang, “It’s been three days.”
Three days. It was time for the outcome to be decided.
Sheng Zhou told Yu Huang, “In Prime Master Tie Feng’s Saint Tomb, there is a level 8 Soul Calming Beast. That is the last test of the inheritance test. Only by defeating the Soul Calming Beast can one obtain the Prime Master’s inheritance. Back then, my mentor failed this test.”
Yu Huang nodded and said curiously, “I wonder if the siblings will be able to obtain the inheritance this time.”
Sheng Zhou smiled and said, “There’s still hope for Young Master. As for Sheng Yang…” At the mention of Sheng Yang, everyone smiled in restraint.
Clearly, in their opinion, Sheng Yang, like Yin Fu, were pulled over to make up the numbers.
…
At that moment, Sheng Xiao was being chased by the Soul Calming Beast in the Saint Tomb. Sheng Yang was standing in the corridor and watching quietly as her brother was beaten up.
Although Sheng Xiao had already become a Supreme Master, the level-eight Soul Calming Beast was as strong as a Grand Master. Even Sheng Xiao would be beaten up by the huge Soul Calming Beast.
Sheng Xiao was panting from the chase. He stood at the corner of the tunnel with Black Qing Sky Dragon. He turned around and asked the Soul Calming Beast, “Why are you only chasing me?”
The Soul Calming Beast spoke in human language with a clear and pleasant female voice. It actually said, “You men are all heartless people. I beat you guys up whenever I see you!”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
He felt exasperated.
Who would dare to believe that there was actually a man-hating Soul Calming Beast in the Sheng Clan’s Saint Tomb? No wonder no male disciple had passed the inheritance test for thousands of years. So it was because of this Soul Calming Beast!
