After receiving Lu Yuâs eye signal, Ying Meiâer likewise nodded imperceptibly.
After seeing that Ying Meiâer responded back to him, Lu Yu stopped looking in the direction of the Ying family, turned his head back and closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, the procession of the three great families were ready to continue their journey.
When Lu Yu saw this, he also chose to tag along with the Song familyâs group. Together with the three great families, Lu Yu and company headed for the deeper regions of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
Following the three great families, Lu Yu soon arrived at the central area of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.
For some reason, all the cultivators within the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had converged here today.
Other than the three great families, the number of cultivators at the War General level who had congregated here had reached hundreds.
When he saw so many cultivators at the War General level, Lu Yu couldnât help feeling somewhat shocked.
He didnât expect that after only five days, the number of cultivators at the War General level who entered the Primal Chaos Secret Realm had reached hundreds.
Next to him, as Song Yu looked at such a large number of cultivators at the War General level, she was also at a loss, and stood rooted to the same spot in a daze.
A deep sense of fear flashed across the eyes of the young man who led the Chu family, one of the three great families.
As for Ying You, who was the leader of the Ying Family, he simply looked at those cultivators at the War General level in a calm and relaxed manner.
âYoung Master Ying You, what should we do now?â
âAccording to the orders of the Patriarch, we must ensure that we locate that legacy and activate it together with the Song and Chu families, after which our three families must unite and enter it together.â
âBut now all the War General cultivators in the entire Primal Chaos Secret Realm have converged here! This is already somewhat beyond our imagination!â
As Ying Meiâer looked at the crowd of War General cultivators from the various factions that surrounded them, eying the members of the three great families warily, she couldnât help but ask Ying You with some concern.
As Lu Yuâs mole within the Ying family, Ying Meiâer certainly did not want to see the Ying family get what they wanted.
However, now her ability had not reached the stage where she could fight against the Ying family. So even though she felt very reluctant in her heart, Ying Meiâer could only bury it deep in her heart.
In the face of Ying Meiâerâs inquiry, Ying Youâs originally calm and relaxed expression changed slightly. The corner of his mouth curved up into a faint smile as he slowly replied, âYou donât need to worry about this matter. Since Father sent me here and gave me the leadership role, then you just have to
follow my orders!â
âAs for the other matters, you donât have to be anxious, nor do you have to think about it. But of course, if you think youâre smarter than me and you want to get killed, you donât have to do what I say.â
Although Ying Youâs voice sounded extremely gentle, the underlying meaning contained in it made the hairs on Ying Meiâerâs back stand on end.
Ying Meiâer understood very well what Ying You meant when he said that.
The real intention was to warn Ying Meiâer that she should just do what Ying You told her to do.
However, if Ying Meiâer dared to take matters into her own hands and did not follow Ying Youâs instruction to carry out her tasks, then there was only one fate waiting for Ying Meiâer, and that was death!
When she thought of this, Ying Meiâer hurriedly bowed to Ying You and answered with a slight stammer, âYoung Master Ying You, donât worry! I, Ying Meiâer, will definitely keep in mind the Patriarchâs orders and do exactly as you instructed!â
With this assurance from Ying Meiâerâs, Ying You then nodded his head with great satisfaction.
âAlright. I know all about your loyalty to the family. You can go now. Just remember what I said, thatâs all.â
After receiving Ying Youâs order, Ying Meiâer obediently retreated to the rear of the Ying familyâs procession.
However, Ying You did not notice that just as Ying Meiâer retreated to the back of the Ying familyâs group, several core members of the Ying family immediately surrounded Ying Meiâer.
âSister Meiâer, do we really have to follow the orders of the Patriarch and listen to the orders of that opinionated guy, Ying You?â
âThatâs right! Ever since we entered the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, weâve listened to his orders and done what he told us to do. But weâve already missed many opportunities!â
âLooking at the current situation, if we allow that guy to continue willfully like this, we will really return empty-handed from our trip to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm this time!â
A few core members of the Ying family spoke to Ying Meiâer, voicing their discontent with Ying You.
In their opinion, Ying You was just a second generation heir with no ability, and he was simply relying on his fatherâs status as the Patriarch of the Ying family!
However, Ying Meiâer had seen Ying Youâs methods, so naturally she would never look down on him the way these core members did.
Even so, she was not able to reveal what she had witnessed due to her earlier promise to Ying Chao.
Precisely because of this, Ying Meiâer only replied with a calm expression to the words of the core members who despised Ying You.
âAlright. I have to warn you first though. Youâd better not say these words again!â
âOtherwise, when these words reach Ying Youâs ears, at that point, even I wonât be able to protect you!â
After she finished speaking, Ying Meiâer turned her head back and whispered to a female core member of the Ying family at the side.
âHow did it go? Did you find anything? We must hurry and ensure that our three great families find the location of the legacy before these scattered cultivators and other factions!â
Faced with Ying Meiâerâs inquiry, that female core member shook her head helplessly and replied to Ying Meiâer, âIâm very sorry to disappoint you, Sister Meier. I have yet to locate the burial place of the legacy. It may take some time before I can ascertain the approximate location.â
The female core member answered and bowed to Ying Meiâer with some trepidation.
After getting this female core memberâs answer, Ying Meiâer couldnât help but
frown deeply.
Just now, Ying You had issued an ultimatum to find the burial place of the legacy as soon as possible.
Time waited for no man. If they delayed until the location of the legacy was discovered by all the War General cultivators inside the Primal Chaos Secret Realm,
at that point, Ying Chao would naturally not blame Ying You, who was the future successor of the whole Ying family. Therefore, the outcome would be Ying Meiâer would be the one to get the blame from Ying Chao and be held accountable by the whole Ying family!
To a large extent, the reason Ying Meiâer was sent to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm this time was to make her the scapegoat for Ying You and for her to take the blame.
Therefore, Ying Meiâer could only pray silently in her heart. She prayed that the three great families would find out the location of the buried legacy before the independent cultivators and the other cultivators at the War General level from the various factions.
At the same time, within the Song familyâs group, Lu Yu suddenly felt the rapid vibration of the legacy plaque that he obtained from the five members of the Lin family inside his interspatial ring!
