Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 122 - 120: Wuhou Hall and the Three Great Clans of Central State
Xu Yang was shocked!
The Cyan Gang Sect still has a treasure?
It’s been twenty years since its destruction with not a single rumor—why is it suddenly appearing now?
Zhao Mushen and Lv Xiu never mentioned it either.
His first thought was that Zhao Mushen and Lv Xiu had betrayed him, deliberately leaking such news.
But... on second thought, something just felt off!
"Where did this information come from?" Xu Yang fixed a fierce gaze directly on Su Yun.
Su Yun’s heart gave a sudden tremble for no reason!
He was even scarier than when he was in Beixuan City.
That look in his eyes—no longer as openly intense as before, but even more so, piercing straight into her soul!
Su Yun’s throat bobbed subtly as she swallowed, trying not to show it.
In this kind of atmosphere, her instinct was to put away her ’charm,’ press her legs together, and sit firmly upright!
"According to what I’ve found out, it should have come from Wuhou Hall!"
"There’s a surviving remnant of the Cyan Gang Sect locked in Wuhou Hall’s dungeon—he was the Grand Elder back then!"
"They must have tortured the secret out of him!"
The Cyan Gang Sect’s Grand Elder?
Xu Yang’s expression shifted again and again; at this moment, he desperately wanted to meet Zhao Mushen.
With Zhao Mushen’s status, he’d be able to divine deeper truths from these brief clues!
But since Su Yun hadn’t mentioned Zhao Mushen, clearly, news that Zhao Mushen and Lv Xiu had returned to Daqian hadn’t reached her yet!
Xu Yang let out a silent breath of relief, but his expression only grew more solemn.
"I’ve never heard of this. Why would they think I can find it?"
"Because of your mother, Mr. Xu!"
The last Sect Leader’s personal disciple—if the Sect hadn’t been destroyed, you’d have been the next in line!
Along with the Cyan Gang Spirit Bone!
These things—if someone worked at it, they’d come to light. They can’t be hidden!
At this, a cold smile crept onto Xu Yang’s face—he’d already guessed the true purpose behind this invitation!
"Wuhou Hall, together with the three great families of Zhongzhou, wants to carve up the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure!"
"But since you set the meeting place in the Northern Territory, even though it wasn’t expected, it means the treasure must be here for them to agree!"
"After all, the Cyan Gang Sect ruled the north in those days! At their height, even the three great families could only play second fiddle. Even Wuhou Hall today can barely compete!"
Imagine how staggering their treasure must be?
If the story gets out, the whole of Daqian will go mad with desire! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh. "What if I can’t find it?"
Su Yun teased, "Unless you turn back right now toward the Barbarian Race!"
Go back?
Xu Yang shook his head, decisive as ever.
If he didn’t know, that’d be one thing.
But now he knew the truth—and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure is enough to make Wuhou Hall and those clans all desperate—even he isn’t immune to temptation!
If he finds it, with his identity, he’ll have a tremendous advantage!
The treasure... could it be tied to the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant?
Xu Yang’s heart stirred, though with outsiders present, now wasn’t the moment to dig deeper!
"Mr. Su, what brings you here?"
Xu Yang swept aside stray thoughts, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Su Yun wasted no words. She leaned forward, so close her curves almost pressed to the table, and spoke bluntly: "Spread the word, throw everything into chaos!"
"The more chaotic, the better—to fish in muddy waters!"
"The Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure is a massive opportunity! But it’s also a deadly pit."
"While you were away, Mr. Xu, things in Daqian haven’t been quiet concerning you!"
"Oh? And what are they saying?" Xu Yang asked, voice faint.
"The disgrace of Daqian!"
"A crime beyond redemption!"
Xu Yang remained unmoved, a cold smile on his lips. "People do love to point fingers. Whose idea was it for me to marry into the Barbarian Race?"
All of this traces to Zheng Xuan!
He hadn’t the strength to resist at all!
And yet in the end, all the infamy lands on him alone!
Daqian’s disgrace?
These people are the true disgrace!
Shameless fools!
A chill flickered in Xu Yang’s eyes, dropping the hall’s temperature as a murderous aura seeped into the air!
"So then..."
"Wuhou Hall holds deep malice toward you, Mr. Xu! Zheng Qi of King Beixuan’s House is currently undergoing the Wuhou title trial—he’s not someone you can ignore. His master is a Vice Hall Master of Wuhou Hall!"
"And as for the Chen Clan of Zhongzhou—need I say more?"
As she finished, Su Yun smiled sweetly at Xu Yang.
She was sure Xu Yang would know how to maximize his gains!
They were all Xu Yang’s enemies!
Even if he didn’t provoke them, they’d come at him with thunderous force!
Xu Yang’s expression flickered as he quietly pieced together all the information!
Chaos!
It’d serve him greatly.
To face the Chen Clan of Zhongzhou, Zheng Qi, Wuhou Hall, and all his foes—
The greater the chaos, the greater his advantage!
"My current power is nowhere near enough. The Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure could be a huge asset!"
"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association... to shelter the Cyan Gang Sect remnants, judging from Su Yun’s moves, they’re just waiting to swoop in and seize the biggest share!"
"But I’ve no conflict with them. We can work together!"
"I can also borrow the Barbarian Race’s strength!"
Xu Yang shivered—that without realizing it, he was already entangled with so many dangerous powers!
When the time comes, the Northern Territory will become a terrifying whirlpool!
One that devours everything!
At the thought, Xu Yang’s face lit up with a radiant smile.
Perhaps, in Beixuan City, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would bring him unimaginable rewards!
The thought cut short, Xu Yang’s voice dropped low: "To spread the word, I imagine Mr. Su already has a thorough plan?"
At these words, Su Yun knew the deal was made.
"Of course!"
"Had I not come, I daresay the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association would have forced me out somehow as well." Xu Yang’s eyes bore down on Su Yun, pressure so intense she glanced away, unable to meet his gaze!
This boy... was only getting more frightening!
Yet I like it!
No one could see the turmoil within Su Yun. Her voice soft and coy, she said, "I’m just a small fry, and can only consider what’s best for Mr. Xu’s interests!"
"It’s still the great ones who make the final decisions!"
"Then I’ll trouble Mr. Su to carry word on my behalf."
Xu Yang saw right through Su Yun’s act, but didn’t care.
This ordeal—full of danger, yet ripe with opportunity!
He couldn’t refuse!
"So you’re that Xu Yang?"
A white-robed youth strode into the hall, fixing Xu Yang with a critical, probing stare!
"And who the hell are you?"
Xu Yang’s brows drew tight; the guy’s tone was seriously unpleasant!
As if standing above, looking down!
It reminded him of Zheng Ming—already dead!
"Young Master!"
Su Yun quickly stood, bowing to the youth as she made a quick introduction: "Mr. Xu, this is Wei Xuan, young master of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association!"
Wei Xuan cast a glance Su Yun’s way, a glint of greed flickering in his eyes as he sneered, "So this is the guy who’s got Mr. Su so infatuated? Seeing you in the flesh—there’s nothing so special about you."
The first moment he’d seen Su Yun, he’d wanted to pin this seductive woman beneath him.
But unfortunately, this woman refused to drink his toast—yet insisted on drinking the forfeit!
Though he was the young master, Su Yun had cozied up to a bigwig within the Commerce Association because of Xu Yang. Even he didn’t dare move against her openly!
"Xu Yang, where’s the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure?"
"You got any token of the Cyan Gang Sect on you?"
Wei Xuan gazed down at Xu Yang, totally arrogant and issuing commands like a lord!
