Chapter 526 New Enemies

Inside a hall, five people seemed to be having a serious discussion. They had previously received a voice transmission from someone, so they decided to meet and discuss it.

"Do you guys think what she said is true? The ancient ruin was a fortress, and it is now in the hands of that brat?" A middle-aged woman with long black hair and a green dress spoke first.

A silver-haired middle-aged man answered him. "Lu Weiwei, we both know her character well; I'm sure she's not lying to us."

"But it sure wasn't that easy to snatch that thing from his hands." A red-haired man joined in. "As you all remember, that brat is Zhu Yuhe's son-in-law; if we attack him together, then it will alert her, and she will retaliate against us."

Another middle-aged man snorted and said. "Humph! Why are you so scared of Zhu Yuhe, Hong Ling? Don't you want to avenge what she did to your brother? She even massacred Hong Chen and his family! Moreover, that brat has crippled my son's cultivation; I will avenge him and snatch that fortress from him."

Hong Ling, the red-haired man, frowned upon hearing that; he naturally wanted to avenge his brother against Zhu Yuhe. However, he had not returned to this continent in a long time, and he was unaware of the current situation on the Southern Continent. "Hey, Ran Luzhe, if you feel so great, why didn't you avenge your son right away? Why did you have to wait until now?"

"You-"

"You guys better not fight here; we gathered in this place to talk about that brat and the fortress." A young woman with long black hair and wearing a sexy dress said softly, but her voice stupefied the three men.

Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and used her energy directly, which brought the three middle-aged men back to their senses. "Hey, Mao Yao, you better not use your charm on them."

The three men took a deep breath; they realized that it was always difficult for them to resist Mao Yao's charm because her charm was extraordinary.

"Little Wei, you don't need to be so serious; I just want to play around with them." Mao Yao spoke as she smiled seductively. "So what are we going to do to take the fortress from that brat, Yang Yuan?"

The three middle-aged men exchanged glances for a moment, and Yang Yuan answered her. "How about you go meet that brat, Mao Yao? I'm sure that he won't be able to resist your charm, and you should be able to easily control him. That way you can take the fortress from him without causing chaos, and we won't alert Zhu Yuhe either."

"Are you sure you want me to do it?" Mao Yao asked as she looked at him with a seductive look.

Yang Yuan then discussed with the other two men first, and they finally nodded in agreement; they could only rely on Mao Yao for now.

"Anyway, what about that Ling family treasure? Have you managed to snatch it from them yet?"

Yang Yuan was momentarily stunned by Mao Yao's questions; he then answered her. "Unfortunately, the treasure is no longer in their hands."

"Huh? Did Ling Xiao give it to someone else?" Mao Yao asked with a frown.

"I'm not sure about that." Yang Yuan shook his head. "Back then, while Ling Xiao and the others were busy with the war against Hong Chen, I paid the people of that group to seize the treasure, but they couldn't find it."

"Hmm?" Mao Yao frowned even more at that.

Yang Yuan then continued. "However, a few days ago, I saw his third granddaughter wearing a necklace made from that treasure."

"Oh?" Mao Yao was surprised to hear that, so she then nodded and said. "In that case, I will meet the little girl first, and I will go to Star Moon Sect afterward."

"Good!" The three middle-aged men said in unison, and Mao Yao immediately disappeared from their sight.

Lu Weiwei finally asked, a little angry. "Why did you guys ask her to do it? That greedy cat will keep that fortress for herself."

"We have no other choice, right?" But then Yang Yuan's gaze became sharp, and he said it coldly. "At the very least, I believe she can control that brat and wrest the fortress from him. But if she intends to keep it to herself, then we will cooperate with the others to snatch it from her hands. Aside from that, Luzhe can also avenge his son against that brat, and we won't have to deal with Zhu Yuhe ourselves."

"I see." Liu Weiwei nodded in understanding; she then got up and left the room.

Ran Luzhe then asked curiously. "What treasures of the Ling family did you talk to him about just now, Yang Yuan?"

"It's just a big chunk of stone, but it's different from ordinary stones, and it can't be cut in the normal way." Yang Yuan nonchalantly replied, especially since the Divine Sky Stone was no longer in Ling Xiao's hands, so he felt no need to cover it up anymore.

"Do you know the name of the stone?" Hong Ling joined in asking him.

Yang Yuan shook his head at him. "No, I've never seen that stone before, so I can't recognize it."

After they discussed a few other matters, Ran Luzhe and Hong Ling quickly left the room, and Yang Yuan leaned back on the chair, talking to himself. "You better not disappoint me, Mao Yao, or you will regret it later."

--------------------------------------

Meanwhile, after she left the Yang main family house, Mao Yao was already standing in front of a shop. "So the little girl is in this place, huh?"

Mao Yao then entered the shop and looked for the little girl, who was none other than Ling Yufei, Ling Xiao's third granddaughter.

"Oh? What can I do for you, young miss?" Ling Yufei, who had just come out of the back room, immediately greeted her. Even though Mao Yao was very old, her appearance was no different from a girl in her twenties.

However, Mao Yao did not answer her, and her eyes turned pink. Instantly, Ling Yufei became dazed, and her eyes also turned pink, just like hers.

After that, Mao Yao pulled her into the back room; she then took Ling Yufei's necklace and observed it carefully. "Oh? This necklace is really beautiful, and this stone makes it even more beautiful."

Mao Yao caressed Ling Yufei's cheek and asked. "Who gave you this necklace? Did your grandfather give your family treasure to that person?"

Since she was under Mao Yao's control, Ling Yufei answered her without hesitation. "Yes, my grandfather gave the treasure to Xia Tian, and he gave this necklace to me."

"Xia Tian?" Mao Yao was really surprised to hear that; she didn't expect Ling Xiao would give the Divine Sky Stone to him. "Why did he give this necklace to you?"

"When my grandfather gave the treasure to Xia Tian, he asked him to give me a piece of jewelry, and he gave it to me to fulfill his promise."

"Does this necklace have a special function?" Mao Yao felt that there was something in the necklace, but she couldn't recognize it because the formation was indeed not from the lower realm.

Ling Yufei nodded at her. "Xia Tian has already embedded a formation within the necklace, and it will protect me if someone attacks me."

"Hmm?" Mao Yao raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, and as she continued to observe the necklace, she tried to activate the formation within. But after trying it for a while, the formation remained dormant, which made her wonder. "How do I activate it? Is it only this girl who can use it?"

Mao Yao then placed the necklace around Ling Yufei's neck; she then exerted a bit of her energy and attacked her. The moment she did that, the formation inside the necklace instantly activated on its own, and she was sent flying backward.

*Bam*

"Cough…" Mao Yao coughed lightly after her body hit the wall, but she couldn't see the protective formation around Ling Yufei's body as it was invisible. "Damn it! How could Xia Tian set up such a formation? "This is interesting; if I can get that brat to make the same necklace for me, I won't have to fear Zhu Yuhe and another."

After she thought for a while, Mao Yao sighed softly and disappeared from the room. Since she couldn't use the necklace himself, she didn't take the necklace from Ling Yufei.

And after she disappeared, Ling Yufei instantly came back to her senses, but she still felt dazed. "Huh? Why am I here? Where did that young woman go?"

Since she couldn't find the answer, Ling Yufei then resumed her activities.
