Chapter 739: Endgame 221: Yang Xuan the Sinner!

Master, I don't know either.

Upon hearing that, Hua Jieyu's face grew even colder, she snapped, "You're utterly useless!"

Yang Xuan's body kept trembling.

He didn't understand!

He didn't understand why returning to the sect earned him such treatment.

Master, what's wrong with you?

Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?

How come they all look at him like he's an enemy?

It's as if he were a traitor of the Azure Sword Sect!

Deep inside, Yang Xuan felt an overwhelming sense of injustice and confusion.

Hua Jieyu's divine sense probed Yang Xuan's body, wandering through nearly every meridian and every corner of his physique.

Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.

Yang Xuan's body held no hidden hand of Tie Xiongqiong.

Only at his Dao foundation did Tie Xiongqiong's starry sky power reforge his Dao foundation.

But now Yang Xuan is burning out, his lifespan nearing its end—he likely has only a month left.

There's no way to wait for his Dao foundation to be reforged!

Thinking of this, Hua Jieyu coldly rebuked, "Earlier, word from the outside said Tie Xiongqiong chose you—so why did Qing Hill receive his inheritance instead of you?"

Yang Xuan replied truthfully, "Tie Xiongqiong's chosen inheritor was originally Qing Hill. Moreover, Senior Lu Xuan seems to have been an old friend of Senior Tie Xiongqiong; I merely earned Tie Xiongqiong's favor."

"Yang Xuan and Tie Xiongqiong are old friends?"

Hua Jieyu raised her brows.

She didn't think Tie Xiongqiong was still alive; she believed he had perished when the Star Firmament Sea shattered, just like Elder Hun Shang.

So if Tie Xiongqiong had died, wouldn't he have entrusted Lu Xuan to look after Yang Xuan?

Hua Jieyu felt a chill run down her spine.

She had heard of Lu Xuan's reputation!

Lu Xuan personally slaughtered hundreds of thousands of experts from the Strange Realm, without even blinking!

Moreover, he slew tens of thousands of great demons, smacking the Demon Realm right in the face!

It seems she can't simply seize Yang Xuan's inheritance and then kill him!

Anyone can see Yang Xuan's lifespan—he can only live a little over a month.

If he were to die now!

Perhaps it would arouse Lu Xuan's suspicion!

"Then let Yang Xuan live or die on his own!"

Hua Jieyu thought to herself.

In the next instant.

Hua Jieyu coldly looked down at Yang Xuan, "Yang Xuan, hand over Tie Xiongqiong's inheritance."

Yang Xuan took out a jade slip and gave it to Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu took it, her divine sense entering the jade slip, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Truly a powerhouse of the Sovereign Realm from the Primordial Era!

Although it's only a fragment of the Starry Sky Sword Dao's inheritance, it still far surpasses the sword dao she currently commands.

At that moment.

Yang Xuan pointed to the two Divine Lord-tier treasures fallen on the ground and said, "Master, Junior Sister, these are gifts I prepared for you."

Hua Jieyu lightly raised her jade hand, stored the two treasures away, and said lightly, "Understood."

To the side, Chu Youwei flared up, saying, "You didn't prepare a gift for the Junior Brother, did you?"

Yang Xuan froze, "Junior Brother?"

He glanced toward Tang Jiu at his side; Tang Jiu wore a brocade robe, looking somewhat refined. He followed Yang Xuan's gaze, smiled, then bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, I've long admired your name! I've heard that in the Burial God Abyss you gathered the starry sky fortune for our Azure Sword Sect—you're truly a model for our generation!"

The voice fell!

Both Hua Jieyu and Chu Youwei wore expressions of deep indulgence and affection.

This made Yang Xuan feel an excruciating sting deep inside.

Why are Master and Junior Sister so affectionate toward this Junior Brother?

Yet toward him they act like enemies!

A moment of silence passed.

Hua Jieyu coldly regarded Yang Xuan, "Yang Xuan, you can no longer cultivate—hand over all the storage rings on your person."

Yang Xuan hesitated, then handed all his storage rings over to Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu put away the storage rings, her face expressionless, as if this were a most ordinary matter, she said coldly.

"Yang Xuan, the last time Elder Zhang Ye went to seek refuge with you, his entire force was wiped out, causing an uproar throughout the sect."

"Both elders and disciples hold great grievances against you!"

"To quell the anger, I need to make a show of it—cast you into the Sin Valley to reflect, and declare you a sect sinner!"

Upon hearing that, Yang Xuan was stunned speechless.

"A sect sinner?"

He single-handedly built the Azure Sword Sect's glory, yet now he's become a sect sinner?

He now feels especially lost.

Why…… why did things turn out like this?

What greeted him was not flowers and applause, but rather charges, contempt, and disdain.

Hua Jieyu looked at Chu Youwei to the side, 'You will escort Yang Xuan into the Sin Valley.'

Chu Youwei showed a cold smile on her face, 'Senior Brother, let's go.'

Yang Xuan suddenly kowtowed to Hua Jieyu, saying, 'Master, I can bear the charges, I can enter the Sin Valley, but I wish to first see my sister Ling'er.'

Hua Jieyu's face turned cold, she scolded, 'You want to see Ling'er, but she does not want to see you. If Ling'er has already become the Holy Maiden of the Cangjian Sect, she is very disappointed in you!'

Chu Youwei also said from the side, 'Not bad! If it weren't for me and Master stopping her, Ling'er would have wanted to sever sibling ties with you!'

"Hum!"

Yang Xuan's mind went completely blank.

His body began to tremble violently.

How could this be possible?

How could Ling'er possibly sever ties with him!

Ling'er is the last bit of warmth he has in this world!

"There must be some misunderstanding here!"

"Master, I must see Ling'er in person!"

Yang Xuan said loudly.

Hua Jieyu gave a cold snort, 'Yang Xuan, first enter the Sin Valley to reflect. When you understand, Ling'er will come to see you.'

Chu Youwei coldly said, 'Senior Brother, let's go.'

Yang Xuan stood up, listless, following behind Chu Youwei, like a walking corpse.

"How is this possible? How is this possible……"

Yang Xuan's mouth kept muttering to himself.

Chu Youwei coldly said, 'Otherwise, do you think why Ling'er doesn't want to see you today!'

Yang Xuan felt as if struck by lightning!

"Ling'er."

"Ling'er……"

No wonder over the past thousands of years, he felt the bond between him and Ling'er seemed to be weakening.

You should know that because of the Seven-turn Causality Gu, he and Ling'er can sense each other.

That is a kind of mysterious connection of the power of causality.

However, during the days in the Burial God Abyss, as time passed, he felt the distance between him and Ling'er growing ever greater.

Could it be that Ling'er truly abandoned him?

Now he can hardly sense Ling'er at all!

Looking at Yang Xuan's appearance, Chu Youwei showed a mocking expression, 'Senior Brother, don't think about Ling'er for now, reflect on yourself! When you understand, Ling'er will come to see you.'

Yang Xuan felt utterly bewildered.

All of this seems unreal!

Reflect?

What is there for him to reflect on!

He really doesn't know!

At this moment.

Hua Jieyu's icy voice spread throughout the entire Cangjian Sect.

"The sinner Yang Xuan has returned to the sect and is about to go to the Sin Valley to reflect!"
