Chapter 484 The Yang Family in the Secret Realm

The center of the ruins.

Yang family.

This completely secluded, mysterious family, who almost never ventures into the outside world, is repeating their daily cultivation routine.

Led by elders, they teach martial arts and pass on their skills, while the young people diligently imitate them, showing great joy at any progress they make.

This scene has been playing out in the Yang family for thousands of years.

At this moment, deep within the ancestral land of the Yang family.

The old woman, leaning on a cane, moved with surprising agility and lightness, arriving in front of a gaunt old man.

The old man's hair had all fallen out, making him look like a dried-up corpse. Half of his body was covered in death energy, and even his pupils were a decaying black, making him almost unrecognizable as human.

The old woman said coldly, "Lie'er has returned, and she has even subdued a spirit fire and successfully obtained the Azure Flame Undying Grass."

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing this, the old man, who resembled a dried corpse, widened his eyes and struggled to lift his head.

Although his lifespan had ended, his powerful aura still indicated that he was a true top-tier Seven Pillars master.

We are just one step away from raising the eight pillars.

He excitedly reached out and gently grasped the old woman's hand with his thin, bony fingers: "Sixth Sister, you didn't lie to me?"

The old woman shook her head: "Second brother, this is your last chance. Lie'er's aura is much weaker than before, and he doesn't even dare to show his cultivation in front of me. I once suspected that he was being impersonated."

"But upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lie'er's aura, exactly the same. Even his speech habits and that damned domineering manner were identical. My sister concluded that Lie'er had suffered a physical injury while trying to subdue the spiritual fire, and perhaps even damaged the foundation of his cultivation."

The old woman's eyes gleamed, as if her long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled.

The gaunt old man also let out a long breath, his arms trembling with excitement.

"It's alright...it's alright..."

"It's good that he's back. I'm just afraid he'll find out something and never come back!"

"I never expected him to have the ability to subdue the spirit fire and even retrieve the Azure Flame Undying Grass for me. With that, perhaps I can stop using this cursed life-extending method!"

The old man became more and more emotional as he spoke, and tears of joy welled up in his eyes.

The old woman said worriedly, "But that's spirit fire; any spirit that touches it will be extinguished..."

"Don't worry, I taught Lie'er the Soul-Seizing Technique precisely for this moment! In addition, he carries our clan's blood, which is pure. There is no risk in me seizing his soul!"

"Sixth Sister, your judgment is very good. He is very likely seriously injured and is just covering it up."

"But even if he wasn't injured, as long as he still has the blood of the Yang family flowing in his veins, he can't possibly resist my Soul-Stealing Secret Technique! With Lie'er's body, our grand ambition might really come true!"

The old man opened his mouth as if to laugh wildly, but no sound came out; only a near-manic twitch of his lips.

When are you planning to make your move?

"No rush, let Lie'er meet his wife and daughter one more time."

"As it should be."

The two exchanged a glance and silently shut their mouths in perfect unison.

As the old woman left and the ancestral gate closed, the conversation seemed as if it had never happened.

……

the other side.

Ye Kang also entered the vast Yang family compound.

Almost the entire central area has Yang family houses, forming independent villages and streets, and even a market town.

As Ye Kang walked among them, almost everyone who saw him subconsciously stopped in their tracks, then lowered their heads, cupped their hands in greeting, and dared not meet his gaze.

Ye Kang thought to himself, "Senior, it seems you're not very popular."

Yang Lie sneered, "What is popularity? A bunch of useless trash. I can't even be bothered to look at them."

"I think I know why you're not popular."

Ye Kang smiled helplessly. It seemed that each of his identities was more hated than the last.

But not everyone was afraid of him. A young girl mustered up her courage and came over, saying, "Uncle Lie, you're back."

Yang Lie thought to himself, "A useless niece, just as useless as her useless father."

Ye Kang was speechless for a moment.

This guy has a really sharp tongue; he always calls you a useless piece of trash. You're not useless, so how did you become a spirit?

Despite thinking this, Ye Kang still looked coldly at his niece and said, "Yes, you're back."

"Uncle, tell me more about what's happening outside! I'm very curious!"

"What's the use of knowing more? You can't go out. I'm going home now, so don't block my way."

After saying that, Ye Kang stepped over her, ignoring the girl's expectant gaze, and headed straight for a magnificent cave in the distance.

That cave dwelling was built in a magnificent and luxurious style, completely different from the other simple and unassuming cave dwellings.

Only someone as worldly-wise as Yang Lie could pursue such a luxurious architectural style.

Ye Kang muttered a complaint to himself before entering the cave.

Inside the cave, a graceful figure was holding the hand of a seven or eight-year-old girl, looking at him in disbelief.

The spirit Yang Lie's expression also changed, and he said in a low voice, "She is my wife, named Lu Hong. She is not a member of the Yang family. I brought her in from outside. Next to her is my daughter, Yang Wu Hui."

Ye Kang felt embarrassed. Although his disguise was convincing, he was still an imposter.

Now, facing Yang Lie's wife and daughters, it felt rather strange.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Hong walking over with her daughter, smiling and saying, "You're back?"

"came back."

Just as Ye Kang was about to say something to cover up his embarrassment, Lu Hong suddenly transmitted her voice: "Where did my husband go?"

boom!

Ye Kang's mind jolted, and his expression turned slightly surprised.

So that's how they found out?

Yang Lie smiled wryly and said, "She understands me perfectly. Do you really think you can fool her just because you've fooled others? But I still have to tell you, she was just bluffing you."

As expected, Lu Hong's expression darkened, and she continued to transmit her voice: "As expected, you are not him. Tell me, is he still alive?"

Ye Kang also transmitted his voice, saying, "Madam is wise. I am not Senior Yang. I am just here to fetch some things for him at his request."

"he died?"

"Madam, there's no need to ask any more questions. If I had intended to harm you, you would already be dead."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I'll leave after a while without doing anything."

"Leave? Once you're here, there's no way you can leave."

Lu Hong gave a bitter smile, a vague guess forming in her mind.

At that moment, she even considered taking direct action to kill the imposter in front of her and avenge her husband.

But after careful consideration, she still didn't take any action.

After all, she could risk her life, but her daughter couldn't.

Ye Kang looked completely bewildered: "Why do you say I can't leave?"

Lu Hong smiled and said, "Because you were deceived by my husband. He sent you here to die."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then angrily communicated with the spirit within the Ink Dragon Spear.

"What do you mean!"
