Chapter 411: Chapter 411 - Return to the Yin Clan, Depose Yin Mingchong, and Appoint a new Patriarch!

At that moment, someone behind Sheng Lingfeng shouted, “The Sheng family’s disciples are out!”

Sheng Lingfeng walked towards the bottom of Saint Pond. Sure enough, he saw the Sheng family disciples in navy blue uniforms coming out.

Soon, the others noticed the Sheng family disciples.

Sheng Xiao and Sheng Zhou walked at the front of the team. Sheng Yang was half a step behind her brother. She looked energetic, as if she had received a huge gain.

Sheng Lingfeng looked at Sheng Yang and then at Sheng Xiao, who looked calm. For a moment, he couldn’t guess if someone had obtained the inheritance. If someone had, who was it?

Seeing Sheng Lingfeng, all the Sheng family disciples knelt on one knee and shouted, “Mentor!”

As the eldest disciple, Sheng Zhou was the leader. His voice was clear as he congratulated Sheng Lingfeng loudly. “Mentor, our clan has gained a lot from this trip to Saint Tomb. The Young Master has successfully obtained the legacy of Prime Master Tie Feng, and Sheng Yang is also lucky enough to obtain the legacy of the Soul Calming Beast!”

Sheng Lingfeng suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Why did Yang Yang also obtain an inheritance? And it was the inheritance of the Soul Calming Beast that chased after men crazily?

When Sheng Lingfeng recalled how he had been chased down by the Soul Calming Beast when he was young, he couldn’t believe that what his eldest disciple said was true.

Sheng Lingfeng subconsciously looked at Sheng Yang. Coincidentally, Sheng Yang was also looking at him. Seeing her father looking at her, Sheng Yang couldn’t help but smile smugly.

Seeing how proud his daughter was, Sheng Lingfeng understood that this was definitely true!

Sheng Lingfeng was overjoyed. He couldn’t help but smile. “Very good! Very good!” He didn’t expect his Yang Yang to obtain an inheritance too!

When the Patriarchs of the other families heard this, they looked at Sheng Lingfeng with envy and jealousy.

Damn!

This fellow had really given birth to two impressive children.

After confirming that Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang had obtained the inheritance, the representatives of the affiliated families praised Sheng Lingfeng. “Congratulations, Prime Master Lingfeng! These two children are quite impressive. They will be outstanding in the future!”

Sheng Lingfeng accepted their congratulations. “Thank you, everyone!”

Liuli Xiangsi also said to Sheng Lingfeng from afar, “Prime Master Lingfeng, congratulations.”

Sheng Lingfeng nodded at Liuli Xiangsi and turned his gaze back to the Sheng family’s disciples. Realizing that there was one person missing, Sheng Lingfeng asked, “Xiao’er, where’s Ah Huang?”

Sheng Lingfeng acted as if he really didn’t know what Yu Huang was doing.

Sheng Xiao looked at his father and understood what he was thinking.

Sheng Xiao lowered his eyes and replied, “When we were passing through the teleportation array just now, Ah Huang suddenly got separated from me. Perhaps there was a mistake in the teleportation array and Ah Huang was sent to another team.”

Sheng Lingfeng asked with feigned confusion, “There has never been such a mistake with the teleportation eye. Where was Ah Huang teleported to?”

At this moment, Xuanyuan Shen’s sharp eyes saw another group of people appear. He saw the color of their clothes and shouted, “The Yin Clan’s disciples are out!”

Upon hearing this, the big shots on the shore looked in the direction of the exit of Saint Pond.

She was here!

Sheng Xiao and the others turned to look at the stairs behind them.

A group of youths in red and black clothes walked up the long and narrow stairs.

The Yin Clan disciples walked out of the stairs. The moment they appeared in Saint Pond, hundreds of gazes landed on them at the same time.

At the front of the Yin Clan’s team were three women with outstanding appearances. The woman on the left had a gentle temperament and graceful appearance. The woman on the right had a glamorous appearance, but she had a cocky and ostentatious aura.

The woman in the middle was wearing a navy blue robe. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a red ribbon. Her skin was as fair as snow, and she was beautiful and eye-catching. Her almond-shaped eyes looked imposing.

The woman stood quietly in the crowd, but that was enough for her to steal everyone’s attention.

At this moment, when the big shots on the shore saw the dark blue figure mixed in with the Yin Clan’s team, they couldn’t help but voice their doubts—

“Huh? Why is Yu Huang standing in the Yin family’s team? As the Young Madam of the Sheng family, she’s wearing the Sheng family’s uniform. She should be standing with the Sheng family’s disciples.”

When the two sly people, Caro Xiangfu and Liuli Xiangsi, saw Yu Huang in the team, they cleverly guessed a possibility. Their eyes flickered, and then they looked at Sheng Lingfeng with tacit understanding.

At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng acted very shocked, as if he didn’t understand why Yu Huang would appear in the Yin Clan’s team.

When they saw this, the same question flashed across the minds of Caro Xiangfu and Liuli Xiangsi. Did Sheng Lingfeng really not know Yu Huang’s true identity?

On the shore, Yin Mingchong stared fixedly at Yu Huang.

Yu Huang had long been married to the young master of the Sheng family. Why would she appear in the Yin family’s team?

Where was Yin Huang?

Under everyone’s gazes, Yu Huang took a step forward.

Everyone quietened down when they saw Yu Huang move, and they silently stared at her. They saw Yu Huang bow toward Yin Mingchong before saying in a low voice, “I, Yin Huang, would like to greet my uncle!”

Yin Mingchong’s eyelids trembled when he heard this.

At this moment, many memories surged into his mind simultaneously, and Yin Mingchong almost spat out blood. His throat rolled, and he spent a great deal of effort to keep himself from spitting out blood.

!

Yu Huang was actually that girl!

No wonder that old fart Lin Jiansheng took her in as his disciple. No wonder that spirit pet became more energetic after following Yu Huang.

So this brat was really his brother’s daughter!

Be it the big shots on the shore or the disciples of the same age in Saint Pond, when they heard Yu Huang’s words, they all exclaimed—

“What?!”

“Yu Huang is actually the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue!”

“What’s going on?!”

Yin Rong also stood out. She hugged the spirit sword in her hand and reported to Yin Mingchong, “Father, Yu Huang is indeed the daughter of our clan’s Prime Master Yin Mingjue. The direct bloodline of Yin Clan flows in her body, and she has already successfully obtained the inheritance of Prime Master Jing An!”

After saying that, Yin Rong congratulated loudly, “Congratulations, Father, for successfully finding Yin Huang!”

After knowing that Yu Huang had actually successfully obtained the inheritance of Prime Master Jing An from the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb, everyone finally believed that Yu Huang was the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue.

Unexpectedly, Yu Huang was actually Yin Huang.

No wonder she could awaken her super beast form. No wonder she had such amazing cultivation talent. So she was the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue!

Prime Master Yin Mingjue was young and promising. The year he sacrificed himself to save the common people, it was said that his cultivation level had already broken through to the Prime Emperor Realm. In fact, Prime Master Yin Mingjue was the youngest Prime Emperor on the Holy Spirit Continent.

As the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue, it wasn’t surprising that Yu Huang had such talent.

At this moment, everyone’s gazes landed on Yin Mingchong, and they were curious about Yin Mingchong’s reaction.

Being stared at by so many people, Yin Mingchong could only suppress all his anger and hatred. After that, a wisp of feigned excitement appeared on his usually benevolent face.

“Child!” Yin Mingchong suddenly flew down from the shore and landed in front of Yu Huang before hugging her.

Yin Mingchong said with tears in his eyes, “Child, you’ve suffered during these 21 years! It was my fault for not protecting you properly, causing you to be stolen by the bandits. It’s been 21 years since we last met!”

“Child, I feel so guilty!”

“Child, can you forgive me for my negligence back then?”

Yin Mingchong was basically pressuring Yu Huang.

On the shore, those sly people sneered when they heard this.

This old man’s acting skills were really superb.

On the other hand, when these young disciples in Saint Pond saw this scene, they actually really thought that Yin Mingchong was happy about successfully finding his niece, and some soft-hearted women shed tears.

But who was Yu Huang?

Was she the kind of person who would obediently submit to anyone?

No.

Yu Huang had never been a kind person.

A crocodile’s tears could fool an idiot, but not Yu Huang.

Yu Huang pushed Yin Mingchong away forcefully before extending her hands to support Yin Mingchong’s arm.

Yin Mingchong wasn’t tall, and he was only 1.75 meters tall. Yu Huang didn’t need to raise her head to look him in the eye.

A faint smile appeared on Yu Huang’s face. She said coldly, “Uncle, what are you saying? I was stolen by a thief. It’s not like you deliberately opened the door to welcome the thief!”

Yin Mingchong’s face trembled slightly when he heard the sarcasm in Yu Huang’s words.

Yu Huang continued, “I have been wandering outside for 21 years. Although I haven’t seen all the evil in this world, I’m still someone who has been through a lot. Naturally, I have a sense of propriety. I won’t hate someone for no reason. Naturally, I won’t let off anyone who has hurt me before.”

Yu Huang suddenly tightened her grip on Yin Mingchong’s arm, and her smile deepened slightly as she told Yin Mingchong in a low voice, “Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.”

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth!

Yin Mingchong’s eyes were filled with gloom when he heard this.

But in front of everyone, he didn’t dare to give himself away.

Yin Mingchong turned around and held Yu Huang’s hand while tears flowed down his face. “Good child, you’re truly an understanding good child. If your father knew that you were so outstanding, he would definitely be proud of you.”

Yu Huang wiped Yin Mingchong’s tears and said with feigned sadness, “Uncle, don’t cry. If my father knew that you cared about me so much, he would be relieved in the afterlife.”

Yin Mingchong couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat when he heard this.

He let go of Yu Huang’s arm and pretended to be happy as he asked, “I heard from Yin Rong that you successfully obtained the legacy of Prime Master Jing An? The legacy test of Prime Master Jing An is extremely difficult. Back then, even your father didn’t successfully pass the test. When I saw you, I thought of that sentence.”

“The student surpasses the master.”

Yu Huang lowered her eyes and replied humbly, “It was all luck.”

Yin Mingchong was speechless.

Screw luck!

All those years ago, he had gone to clear the test as well. He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to clear the test of Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance. Yu Huang’s casual dismissal was an insult to Yin Mingchong.

On the shore, when Caro Xiangfu and the others saw this scene of “filial piety”, their mouths curled into cold smiles.

Old fox!

Mo Yunyan, the patriarch of the Mo Clan, thought of something. He walked to Sheng Lingfeng’s side and sighed with emotion as he said with a smile, “Prime Master Lingfeng, I really didn’t expect your daughter-in-law to be the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue. I remember that when the Prime Master held a 100-day banquet for his daughter, he even joked that he would arrange a marriage between his beloved daughter and your son. After so many twists and turns, that child still ended up with your son.”

“They’re a match made in heaven!”

At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng’s expression was one of surprise and joy. He sighed and said, “To be honest, as a father, I only found out the truth at this moment!”

Sheng Lingfeng’s eyes turned red. He muttered sadly, “I didn’t expect Yu Huang to be Brother Mingjue’s daughter.”

Sheng Lingfeng and Yin Mingjue had always had a good relationship. Otherwise, Yin Mingjue wouldn’t have joked about marrying his daughter to Sheng Lingfeng’s son during his daughter’s hundred-day banquet.

“Did Prime Master Lingfeng only find out the truth today?” Mo Yunyan looked at him suspiciously.

Sheng Lingfeng immediately said seriously, “Of course. If I had known earlier, wouldn’t I have told Patriarch Yin long ago? Who doesn’t know that Patriarch Yin has been looking for his niece all these years?”

Mo Yunyan smiled mysteriously. “That’s right. He has indeed been looking for her eagerly.” He couldn’t wait to find the child and secretly kill her.

On the other side, Liuli Xiangsi suddenly turned her head and shouted to Xuanyuan Shen, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, how are you feeling?”

Liuli Xiangsi’s voice was loud.

Thus, many people heard her.

Many people secretly looked at Xuanyuan Shen and saw his mixed expression.

From the moment Xuanyuan Shen heard Yu Huang admit that she was Yin Huang, his expression became interesting. He originally thought that Yu Huang was just a little girl from an ordinary family, so he had always looked down on her.

Back then, when Yu Huang was disfigured, he also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xuanyuan Jing go to end the engagement. Later on, Yu Huang awakened her beast form and cultivated the Purifying Spirit Art before marrying into the Sheng family. Xuanyuan Shen also secretly regretted it.

It was only today that the regret turned into remorse.

From now on, Yu Huang would be respected and cared for no matter where she went. After all, her father was the hero of the Holy Spirit Continent. He had saved everyone!

And the Sheng family that she married into would have even more prestige than before.

Xuanyuan Shen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he said, “My son and her just aren’t fated enough.”

“Heh!” Liuli Xiangsi didn’t believe him. She chuckled. “Is it because they aren’t fated enough, or is it because her family background isn’t powerful enough? Patriarch Xuanyuan, you should know very well.”

Xuanyuan Shen knew that he was in the wrong, so he shut his mouth.

Liuli Xiangsi stared at Sheng Xiao and sighed. “Sheng Xiao is lucky.”

Caro Xiangfu said, “How can you say that? It’s said that Yu Huang was injured back then and her appearance was disfigured. How many men would have accepted her back then? But Sheng Xiao had good taste and found a treasure.”

“I can only say that he has good karma.”

Liuli Xiangsi didn’t retort.

…

Yin Mingchong had finally found his niece, so he naturally had to show off.

Yin Mingchong said to Yu Huang, “Since you’re safe and sound, follow me back to the Yin Clan and pay your respects to the Yin Clan’s ancestors.” Since she had already returned, it was time for her to acknowledge her ancestors.

Yu Huang smiled and said, “Uncle, you’re right. Since I’m already back, I should return to the Yin Clan.” She said the last few words forcefully.

Yin Mingchong took a deep glance at her while rage burned in his heart, yet he couldn’t flare up.

“Uncle, I’m already married. I wonder if I can bring my lover back to the clan with me? I want to bring him along to offer incense to my father so that he can rest in peace.”

Yin Mingchong instantly smiled. “Of course.”

Sheng Xiao walked over from the Sheng family’s team. He stood beside Yu Huang and bowed to Yin Mingchong. “Greetings, Uncle.”

Yin Fu stole a glance at Sheng Xiao and then at Yu Huang. Although she was unconvinced, she had to admit that the couple was really compatible.

Yin Mingchong suppressed his anger and said to Sheng Xiao with a warm smile, “My brother watched you grow up and he liked you too. If my brother knew that you and Ah Huang were a couple, he would be relieved.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Mingchong suddenly turned around, cupped his fists, and said to the big shots on the shore, “After 21 years, the Yin Clan has finally successfully found the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue. This is a joyous occasion! Three days later, the Yin Clan will hold a banquet to celebrate the return of my niece, Yin Huang. I hope everyone can take the time to participate!”

Hearing this, Caro Xiangfu said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come!”

Liuli Xiangsi also said, “I will definitely come personally.” Yu Huang’s return banquet in three days would definitely be lively. They couldn’t miss it.

Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang and said to Sheng Lingfeng, “Father, I’ll accompany Ah Huang back to the Yin family first. I won’t go home with you.”

Sheng Lingfeng nodded and flew to Yu Huang. He looked at her lovingly and sighed. “You child, you shouldn’t have hidden it from everyone. We’re family.”

Yu Huang secretly chuckled. She thought to herself that her father-in-law was also an expert at acting.

Yu Huang didn’t show her feelings on the surface. She said awkwardly, “All these years, there have been people secretly searching for my whereabouts. I was really frightened, so I didn’t dare to reveal the truth. I hope you can understand.”

Sheng Lingfeng immediately frowned and asked, “Someone is searching for you? Could it be that someone is plotting against you?”

Yu Huang was just about to answer when she heard Yin Mingchong say, “Could it be the group of people who harmed Brother in the Central Pagoda all those years ago?”

Yu Huang glanced at Yin Mingchong and shook her head. “I’m not sure about that.”

“It’s a good thing that you’re back safely. Let Xiao’er accompany you to the Yin family these days.” Sheng Lingfeng patted Yu Huang’s shoulder and left Saint Pond with Sheng Yang, Sheng Zhou, and the others to return to the Sheng family.

The others also boarded their aircraft and prepared to return. They were looking forward to the banquet three days later.

The Yin family was the last to leave. Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, and Yin Rong boarded the aircraft. Along the way, Yin Mingchong told Yu Huang about her father.

Yu Huang didn’t know if those things were true or not, so she listened quietly and rarely chimed in.

After only three hours, they arrived in Jingdu and flew towards the mountain where the Yin Clan was.

On the same day, the news that Yu Huang was the daughter of Prime Master Yin Mingjue had long been spread throughout the Divine Moon Empire, the Divine Realm Continent, and even the distant merfolk, elves, and beastmen.

At night, in the Myriad Book Pavilion.

An old man in a gray shirt and suit pants was standing on a high staircase and arranging the books in the Myriad Book Pavilion.

The bookshelves of the Myriad Book Pavilion were very high, more than twenty meters high. Because the books at the top were rarely read, a layer of dust would accumulate every once in a while.

The old man used a feather duster to brush away the dust on the book and tidied up the messy books.

He had been doing this job silently for twenty years.

Suddenly, the door of the Myriad Book Pavilion was pushed open. A group of Beast Tamers who had come to search for information strode in. They walked straight towards the classification area of the land beast form.

The old man didn’t need to look down to size them up. He could tell the age of this group of people just by their light footsteps.

They should be a group of young people in their early twenties. Only young people could walk so gracefully and briskly. All the old people or experts who had suffered knew how to keep a low profile.

As this group of young people flipped through the information, they chatted about today’s gossip.

“I really didn’t expect Yu Huang to be Yin Huang. Who would dare to believe that a person who has been missing for 21 years is actually still alive and well? She even successfully obtained the inheritance of Prime Master Jing An from the Yin Clan’s Saint Tomb.”

The person who spoke was a man. He was clearly shocked by what happened at Saint Pond this morning.

A pleasant female voice sounded. She said, “Yu Huang has always been alive and knew her identity. Then why didn’t she take the initiative to return to the Yin Clan in the past? I remember that Yu Huang was a female celebrity in the past. She started acting at the age of four.”

“Actually, it’s quite sad. As the young master of the Yin Clan, she wandered outside and became an actress. If Prime Master Yin Mingjue

knew that his daughter had lived this sort of life after his death, his heart would definitely ache.”

“That’s right. I heard from them that Prime Master Yin Mingjue loved his daughter very much. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he doted on her like the apple of his eye. Think about the name Yin Huang carefully. In our cultivation world, very few people will name their daughter ‘Phoenix’. This name is too domineering, and they’re afraid that their child won’t be able to handle it. The Prime Master named his daughter Phoenix. Clearly, he had high hopes for his beloved daughter.”

“However, Yu Huang is indeed very capable. Her current cultivation talent and identity as a dual cultivator are even more powerful than when Prime Master Yin Mingjue was young. In my opinion, Yu Huang will definitely be able to surpass Prime Master Yin Mingjue in the future and become even more powerful…”

After so much talk, the topic returned to the old question—

“Since she knew her true identity, why didn’t she return to the Yin Clan?”

This group of young Beast Tamers looked at each other and had their own guesses. Could it be that the Yin Clan was even more dangerous than the outside world, so Yu Huang didn’t dare to return?

At this point, everyone stopped talking.

Saying too much would cause trouble.

They quickly found the information they wanted and took it to the reading room next door.

On the high staircase, the old man lowered his eyes and stared at a book in his hand. He opened the book and saw the majestic Divine Feather Phoenix in it.

The old man gently stroked the Divine Feather Phoenix while tears flickered in his eyes.

“Mentor, Masteress, Little Junior Sister is still alive!”

Little Junior Sister was still alive!

Did you hear that?!

Little Junior Sister was still alive!

The old man put down the book and slowly raised his head. His slightly hunched back suddenly became straight. In an instant, this old man seemed to have become several years younger.

He jumped down from the high staircase and waved his hand. The closed door of the Myriad Book Pavilion opened automatically.

The old man crossed the tall threshold under the door, then walked out of the Myriad Book Pavilion and towards the Yin Clan with firm footsteps.

As he walked, his messy white hair suddenly became thick and black. His eyes, which looked lifeless, gradually regained their sharp and imposing look.

Seeing that he was going out at night, the colleague who swept the floor asked him with a broom, “Mr. De, where are you going so late at night?!” Strange, wasn’t Mr. De’s back a little hunched? Why was his back no longer hunched?

The old man stopped in his tracks and raised his head. He stared in the direction of the Yin Clan and said in a loud voice, “I’m going to return to the Yin Clan, depose Yin Mingchong and appoint a new Patriarch!”

With that, the old man’s figure appeared more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye. In a few more seconds, he completely disappeared.

Depose of Yin Mingchong and appoint a new Patriarch?

The colleague who was sweeping the floor stared blankly in the direction where the old man had disappeared in. When he thought of the rumors of the Yin family’s young master returning today, his eyes widened.

“Mr. De is from the Yin Clan?”
