Chapter 550: Chapter 498: Descendants of the enemy, People from the Sky Wasteland
Ever since Yang Yongxiu had escaped, he had been wanted by the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Now after twenty years gone by, due to an unforeseen opportunity, he had actually attained the power of Spirit Realm Third Level. The strong figures in the Demonic Cult who were originally unwilling to submit to Master Xue unexpectedly betrayed the cult to join under Yang Yongxiu’s command, thus forming a substantial force that caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.
Yang Tinghe’s eldest son, Yang Yongxiu, although young was very well-known throughout all of Tiandu and even Great Ming imperial court. He had not only stepped into the Grandmaster Realm in martial arts at a young age due to his extraordinary talent, but also achieved accomplishments in the Confucianism. He was considered by everyone to be the best successor to the primary adviser, Yang Tinghe.
Therefore, after Yang Tinghe’s death, the person who was most concerned about the decision to search for those who were in Yang’s mansion was this key figure, Yang Yongxiu.
Speaking of which, Qingyang Zi was also confused. Given the rigorous defense of Tiandu at that time, although it was unable to prevent the infiltration and departure of many powerful individuals, it was quite baffling how Yang Yongxiu, who was only a newly promoted third-grade grandmaster and the son of Yang Tinghe, was able to leave Tiandu so easily, and avoid the search by the Factory Guards and the Six Gates.
“Hehe, it’s nothing more than local protection. Those people are just mourning the loss of their ally,” Pei Xuanjing sneered.
Whether Qingyang Zi truly didn’t understand, or was deliberately pretending to be confused, Pei Xuanjing did not conceal anything at all and directly unveiled the reasons behind all this.
Yang Tinghe had been in the imperial court for decades, being the head of the Cabinet, with power beyond what many could imagine. Even if he was not proactive in these decades, the position he held was enough to form a massive network, accumulating countless imperial court officials, disciples, and juniors.
Even after his identity as the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect was exposed, it wasn’t easy to erase all the things he had done over so many years, especially those officials who had dealings with him. The implicated could be exempted, but the allies would not break ties.
People of the same status, when seeing Yang Tinghe in such a situation, would certainly help Yang Yongxiu escape. After all, if they ever found themselves in such a situation in the future, they would not want to be left without anyone to extend a helping hand.
