Chapter 396: The Cunning Yu Huang

The three women released their strongest attacks at the same time. Yin Fu’s Green Ghost Octopus extended its tentacles and clung tightly to the mud wall.

Yin Fu played the Pixiu, and the tentacles of the green ghost octopus instantly became thick. They bent down on the mud wall, and their tentacles took root deeply in the mud wall.

“Explode!”

Accompanied by Yin Fu’s loud shout, the tentacles that were rooted in the mud wall suddenly exploded, and the mud wall was blasted into pieces before falling to the ground.

Yin Fu was delighted when she saw that the mud wall had actually been destroyed so easily. “We succeeded?” She had defeated this Tomb Guardian Beast alone. Was she too powerful, or was the Tomb Guardian Beast too weak?

Yin Fu felt a little smug.

Right at this moment, Yu Huang suddenly roared loudly, “Nine Tails Appear, Heaven and Earth Collapse!”

Accompanied by the summon, the nine-tailed fox behind Yu Huang suddenly stood up with its nine furry tails. Lightning crackled all over its body and instantly gathered into a lightning ball.

Yu Huang grabbed the lightning ball with great destructive power with her bare hands. She raised the lightning ball and was about to throw it at the mud wall that had yet to completely collapse.

However, at this moment, Yu Huang’s wrist suddenly changed directions. The lightning ball that should have been thrown at the mud wall was actually thrown at Yin Rong.

Yin Fu shouted anxiously, “Yu Huang! You missed! That’s Yin Rong!”

Yin Rong was attacking the mud wall when she discovered that Yu Huang had actually used an offensive cultivation technique on her. She was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the lightning ball.

Yin Fu was anxious.

“Yu Huang, you’re crazy! Even if you and Yin Rong are competitors, you can’t plot against her!” As she spoke, Yin Fu raised the Pixiu in her hand and was about to attack Yu Huang.

Yu Huang berated Yin Fu with a cold expression. “Stop fooling around. Look at Yin Rong!”

Yin Fu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Yin Rong. She saw that Yin Rong, who had been struck by the ball of lightning, had suddenly exploded!

Yin Rong’s dress was blown into countless pieces, and her arms and legs were also blown away!

When Yin Fu saw this scene, her eyes widened. She cursed Yu Huang, “You b*tch, you actually dared to kill the eldest disciple of the Yin Clan. I’ll kill you today to avenge Yin Rong!”

Yin Fu summoned the Green Ghost Octopus and was about to attack Yu Huang when she heard a series of crackling sounds.

The sounds came from Yin Rong.

Yin Fu looked at Yin Rong in shock, but she discovered that the flesh and blood that had been blasted away had reassembled. However, after they reassembled, what appeared was not Yin Rong’s figure, but a terrifying-looking demon beast!

The demon beast had six heads, but their bodies were like ferocious tigers. They looked very sloppy. It was obvious that God had not put much effort into creating this species.

Realizing that the person in front of her was not Yin Rong at all, but a ferocious demon beast, Yin Fu’s face instantly turned pale.

She also understood why Yu Huang had done that just now.

Afraid that she would be alone and be attacked by the demon beast, Yin Fu subconsciously leaned towards Yu Huang.

Yu Huang sneered as she looked at the demon beast. She said, “You’re not Yin Rong. You’re the real tomb guardian beast.” After saying that, Yu Huang glanced at Yin Fu and said, “What you blew up just now was just an ordinary mud wall.”

Yin Fu was speechless.

No wonder she felt that the Tomb Guardian Beast was easy to deal with.

“How did you discover it?” The level 7 demon beast had been imprisoned in the Saint Tomb for more than two thousand years. Its cultivation had long broken through to level 8 and it could speak.

Yin Fu also stared at Yu Huang in confusion.

The Yin Rong transformed by the Tomb Guardian Beast looked exactly the same as Yin Rong herself. Even Yin Fu, who was quite close to Yin Rong, didn’t notice anything unusual.

How did Yu Huang discover it?

Yu Huang said, “Although the tomb guardian beasts are high-level demon beasts, they are not good at attacking. They are better at disguising and figuring out people’s thoughts. Your disguise is very outstanding and you did not give yourself away.”

“Then how did you discover it?” The Tomb Guardian Beast had guarded the Saint Tomb for more than two thousand years. Every thirty years, a group of challengers would come. Ninety percent of them had been defeated at this level.

Although there were two to three people who successfully passed the third level, no one had been able to see through its disguise in such a short period of time.

The Tomb Guardian Beast was very confused.

Yu Huang said, “The question I asked you earlier was actually to test you.”

The Tomb Guardian Beast thought for a moment before saying, “The brooch?”

“That’s right.” Yu Huang told the Tomb Guardian Beast, “The brooch Yin Rong made for me isn’t an amethyst brooch, but a Three Lives Stone brooch.”

Knowing that it had been tricked, the tomb guardian beast was a little angry. “You’re so cunning.”

Yu Huang treated it as a compliment.

Yu Huang stared at the Tomb Guardian Beast’s bleeding body and asked, “Will I be able to enter the next round after defeating you?”

The Tomb Guardian Beast shook its head. “You can’t win against me,” it said.

Yu Huang raised her eyebrows but did not retort. Although the Tomb Guardian Beast was not good at attacking, it was a high-level demon beast after all. Yu Huang really wasn’t its opponent.

The tomb guardian beast looked at Yin Fu and Yu Huang with amusement and actually said, “As long as you successfully kill the other party, the remaining person will be qualified to obtain the final test of the inheritance.”

Yin Fu and Yu Huang looked at each other and didn’t speak.

Yin Fu was worried that Yu Huang would really kill her, so she took out a power forfeiture talisman and planned to forfeit.

At this moment, Yin Fu heard Yu Huang say, “What you said just now wasn’t the test that Prime Master Jing An left for you, right?”

The Tomb Guardian Beast was stunned.

The Tomb Guardian Beast retorted angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting?!”

Yu Huang calmly pointed out, “Prime Master Jing An was betrayed when she was young. The type of person she hated the most in her life was treacherous people. I guess she must have told you that no matter what the test is, anyone who betrays their companions will be considered a failure.”

Yu Huang stared at the Tomb Guardian Beast with a faint smile. She smiled and said, “I guessed it, right?”

The Tomb Guardian Beast’s large eyes instantly widened. It could not help but ask Yu Huang, “How did you know?!”

This was an admission.

“Because I’m smart,” Yu Huang said thoughtfully. “The spiritual energy in the Saint Tomb is abundant. To you, it’s also an excellent place to cultivate. You don’t want to see anyone successfully pass the level. You want to stay in the Saint Tomb to continue cultivating, so you deliberately set a trap for the people who pass the level to fail. Am I right again?”

“You… are so cunning!” Staring at the cunning smile on Yu Huang’s face, the tomb guardian beast knew that it had encountered an extremely intelligent powerhouse.

Damn, this batch of challengers was so smart!

The Tomb Guardian Beast took a deep look at Yu Huang, then said to Yin Fu, “Little girl, listen to me. You can’t defeat the little fox beside you. You should forfeit.”

Yin Fu was speechless.

Damn, she was snubbed again. She was so angry!

Yu Huang also said to Yin Fu, “Yin Fu, the subsequent trials will definitely be very difficult. You should forfeit early and withdraw from seclusion to cultivate. Don’t waste time inside.”

Yin Fu took a deep breath and cursed. She actually crushed the forfeiture talisman and was teleported out.

Seeing Yin Fu disappear from the spot, Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief.

Yin Fu was timid and rash. It was right for her to withdraw early. The subsequent tests would definitely be even more difficult. With a burden, it would be difficult for Yu Huang to perform to her full potential.

Yu Huang was about to leave when she suddenly heard the Tomb Guardian Beast say, “A girl came earlier.”

Yu Huang stopped.

She turned around and stared at the Tomb Guardian Beast. She frowned and asked, “Yin Rong?”

The Tomb Guardian Beast did not nod and only revealed an unfathomable smile. It said to Yu Huang, “She failed.”

Yu Huang was somewhat shocked.

It was said that there were a total of five tests in the inheritance test. It was only the third test, but Yin Rong had already failed?

The tomb guardian beast told Yu Huang, “She has too many things on her mind. She is unstable, and she’s not as frank as you are.”

Yu Huang thought of the blood feud Yin Rong carried and could more or less understand why Yin Rong had failed.

Yu Huang bent down and crawled through the mud wall. She had only taken two to three steps forward when she heard the Tomb Guardian Beast say, “Every challenger faces a different test and scene. She has a demon in her heart. The moment she entered my barrier, she saw you.”

“Do you know why she failed?” An evil gaze appeared in the Tomb Guardian Beast’s eyes. It thought that since Yu Huang was so smart, she must have guessed the truth.

Yu Huang had also expected what the Tomb Guardian Beast would say next. She turned her head and stared at the Tomb Guardian Beast expressionlessly. She said calmly and rationally, “You don’t have to try to bewitch me and disturb my state of mind. I know what you want to say. You just want to tell me that she saw me in her challenge and betrayed me at the last moment, or even killed me.”

When the Tomb Guardian Beast saw that Yu Huang had guessed everything correctly, its smile instantly deepened. “Then are you disappointed?”

Disappointed?

However, Yu Huang continued, “Human nature has never been able to withstand tests. Yin Rong has deep hatred, and I have my ideals and ambitions. We are all people who will do anything to achieve our goals. I’m not disappointed because…”

Yu Huang paused and said, “I’m more ruthless than her.”

In order to achieve her goal, Yin Rong had only killed her. As for Yu Huang, she was willing to eliminate all obstacles!

When it heard this, the Tomb Guardian Beast’s gaze towards Yu Huang gradually became wary. It suddenly realized that this little girl in front of it was very likely to become the person to clear the last level of Prime Master Jing An’s Saint Tomb.

Because she would definitely obtain the inheritance.

She was smart and heartless, cruel yet compassionate. Such a person was exactly what Prime Master Jing An liked.

Yu Huang no longer looked after the Tomb Guardian Beast and walked towards Prime Master Jing An’s main tomb without turning back.

After passing through the passageway where the Tomb Guardian Beast was, at the end of the passageway was a house that looked like a living room. There was a tea set on the north wall of the living room. On the tea table, there were two cups and a teapot.

Yu Huang walked forward. At this moment, a woman’s figure suddenly appeared on the praying mat on the left side of the tea table.

It was Prime Master Jing An.

Prime Master Jing An, who was in front of her, had long white hair. She was still pretty and young, but she gave off the feeling that she was about to die. She was like a rotten wood that was about to wither. She looked beautiful and powerful, but her insides had already begun to decay.

Yu Huang noticed that Prime Master Jing An did not notice her existence and realized that this was a remnant image.

Yu Huang stood on the spot and quietly observed this scene.

Prime Master Jing An picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. She suddenly said to the empty space opposite her, “Are you there?”

The water in the cup rippled. Then, words written in tea appeared on the tea table—

[I’m here.]

Seeing this scene, Yu Huang immediately realized that this was a scene that had happened more than two thousand years ago. In the scene, Prime Master Jing An was talking to her invisible lover.

Prime Master Jing An stared at the word ‘here’, and her gaze suddenly became sad. She put down the cup and sighed with some melancholy. “Silence, I want to see you, even if my cultivation dissipates and I don’t enter reincarnation.”

This time, the tea in the cup did not waver for a long time.

Just as Yu Huang thought that everything was about to end, a row of words suddenly appeared on the table. Every stroke of the words was written very forcefully—

[Let her see me.]

Was this the final test of Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance?

At this moment, a warm breath spread on the side of Yu Huang’s face. Yu Huang turned her head to look at the empty air beside her. She asked, “Your name is Silence?”

Silence couldn’t speak, but he blew at Yu Huang again.

“You want Prime Master Jing An to see you?”

‘Silence’ blew at her again.

Yu Huang suddenly understood why no one had been able to successfully obtain Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance even though she had been buried in the Saint Tomb for more than two thousand years.

Because this fourth level was enough to stump everyone.
