Chapter 740: Endgame 222: Hua Jieyu's Schemes!

Sinner Yang Xuan has returned to the sect and is about to go to Sin Valley to reflect.

The voice fell!

Like thunder, it spread throughout the Azure Sword Sect.

In an instant, countless divine senses and divine awareness probed toward Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan walked toward Sin Valley like a puppet, his mind filled only with Yang Ling'er.

He felt those countless divine senses and awareness were extremely cold and strange, and full of hostile intent.

It seemed he did not belong to the Azure Sword Sect!

It seemed he was the enemy of the Azure Sword Sect!

On the way to Sin Valley, many elders and disciples stopped to watch.

Their gazes were like blades, slicing into Yang Xuan's body one stroke after another.

That was a look of contempt!

A look of extreme hatred!

How dare this sinner Yang Xuan show his face back in the sect?

Why didn't he die in the Burial God Abyss?

If I were Yang Xuan, I'd have found a rock to smash myself to death!

Mockery and ridicule never ceased along the way.

Yang Xuan felt a pang of heartache.

What exactly is the reason?

He truly did not understand.

Not long after.

Yang Xuan was imprisoned by Chu Youwei in a dark dungeon in Sin Valley.

Reflect well, Senior Brother.

Chu Youwei looked at Yang Xuan with an icy face, said those words, then turned and left.

Thud!

Yang Xuan dropped to his knees and began to recall everything.

It was he who, step by step, pushed the Azure Sword Sect to its present prosperity!

Why has he become a sinner!

Moreover, the gazes of those elders and disciples along the way were without pretense—truly a deep loathing and anguish!

Yang Xuan burst into tears, tears sliding from his eyes as he muttered.

"Ling'er."

"Ling'er..."

Is Ling'er really angry with him?

But why does thinking of Ling'er cause him an indescribable pain?

Meanwhile.

In a great prison on another Spirit Peak.

When Hua Jieyu's voice announcing Yang Xuan as a sinner rang out, Yang Ling'er, who had been curled up trembling in the corner, suddenly shuddered.

"Brother!"

She endured the pain all over her body and crawled up.

She let out a loud shout!

"Has my brother come back?"

"My brother has come back..."

She went straight to the prison, grabbed the Xuan‑iron bars with both hands and shook them, shouting, "Let me out! I want to see my brother!"

Two clear streams of tears slid down her cheeks.

The Xuan‑iron bars clanged loudly.

Soon, a big‑eared, fat‑headed prison guard elder strode over and barked coldly, "Yang Ling'er, what are you howling for here? Get out!"

Yang Ling'er kept shouting, "My brother has done so much for this sect, you…"

Before she could finish, the guard elder kicked straight at her belly.

"Boom!"

Yang Ling'er was blasted several zhang away and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Yang Ling'er spat out a mouthful of essence‑blood.

The big‑eared, fat‑headed guard elder sneered, "Don't even hope to see that waste Yang Xuan again—though you've returned, your Dao Foundation is shattered, your cultivation has fallen to the One‑Star Heavenly God Realm, and you won't live long. Don't count on him to save you either; the sect leader has locked him in Sin Valley, where he can barely protect himself."

The voice fell!

Yang Ling'er was stunned.

"What? How could my brother be like this?"

"You know, before he went to the Burial God Abyss, he was a Six‑Star Divine Sovereign!"

"Now he's become a Heavenly God Realm cultivator!"

"And his Dao Foundation is shattered!"

"That means he can't cultivate anymore!"

"More importantly, he won't live much longer."

Thinking of these, Yang Ling'er instantly felt her vision go dark, she gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly did you do to my brother? Why did he become like this?"

The fat‑eared guard elder snorted coldly and left.

Yang Ling'er curled up on the ground, tears streaming down continuously, she took out Yang Xuan's wooden carving in her hand and cried louder and louder.

"Brother!"

"Brother, you've been deceived by those wolf‑hearted, dog‑lunged people of the Azure Sword Sect."

"You did all this for the Azure Sword Sect, yet you've become a sinner of the sect!"

"They bully me, and they bully you……"

"Compared to me, brother, you're the one who suffers the most."

……

Elsewhere.

On the Sect Leader Peak, Hua Jieyu had Tang Jiu leave, leaving Chu Youwei behind.

"Boom!"

Hua Jieyu flicked her sleeve, directly casting an endless sealing prohibition in the main hall.

Chu Youwei felt some doubt; it was the first time she saw her master's expression so solemn before her.

Hua Jieyu looked down at Chu Youwei and said slowly, "The matter of Yang Xuan is settled; I need to set out for the Sword Qi Long Wall."

Hearing that, Chu Youwei said, "Master, you've worked hard."

As the chief senior disciple of the sect leader, Chu Youwei naturally knew that Hua Jieyu would go to the Sword Qi Long Wall from time to time.

She didn't know exactly what her master did there.

But she was sure it was to plan strategy.

Otherwise, why would the Azure Sword Sect have sent far fewer people to the Sword Qi Long Wall?

Even theoretically, someone like her master at the Nine‑Star Sovereign realm must fight at the Sword Qi Long Wall for at least a thousand years.

Yet her master has never participated in battle at the Sword Qi Long Wall.

Hua Jieyu's gaze was deep as she stared at Chu Youwei and said lightly, "This time, you must come with me."

Chu Youwei froze.

Hua Jieyu looked Chu Youwei up and down, having to admit that Chu Youwei's face was very pretty, her figure excellent, her bust large, and her legs beautiful.

No wonder that old thing Qin Gu wanted Chu Youwei to come over as well.

Hua Jieyu asked, "Aren't you curious what I do each time I go to the Sword Qi Long Wall? How I've managed to protect the Azure Sword Sect so well?"

Chu Youwei thoughtfully said, "Master must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. But I don't know exactly what."

Hua Jieyu's face flushed slightly; although hard to speak, she still said it.

After all, if she went to the Sword Qi Long Wall this time, she would likely have to be completely frank with her disciple.

"Not wearing anything!"

"The scene might be…… beyond words."

"By then it might be even more awkward."

"For these thousands of years, I have been serving a high‑star Sovereign realm elder named Qin Gu at the Sword Qi Long Wall."

Hearing that, Chu Youwei froze, "Serving?"

She thought of something, but dared not think it was that kind of serving.

After all, that's the lofty master!

Normally the master is extremely aloof; there are some pursuers outside, and she treats them like dogs.

How could such a domineering master possibly go……

Hua Jieyu continued, "It's exactly what you're thinking."

Chu Youwei was struck like by lightning, "But Master, you……"

Hua Jieyu took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, and said, "Do you think our Azure Sword Sect could have survived to this day without my sacrifices? No one knows. Before the strong, the weak are dogs. What choice do I have?"

Chu Youwei stared speechless, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Just thinking that her master had been defiled by that elder named Qin Gu made her feel her heart in turmoil.

Suddenly she thought of something and asked in shock, "Master, I'm just a maiden! Do I also have to go serve that elder Qin Gu?"

That elder Qin Gu has cultivated to the Sovereign realm; he's certainly an old fossil.

She felt a wave of nausea!

"Slap!"

Hua Jieyu directly swung a slap, sending Chu Youwei flying, and coldly rebuked.

"What purity are you pretending? Don't think I don't know about your shady dealings with Tang Jiu, and those transactions you have with some inner‑door disciples!"
