Yang Haoyu's Plan

At the stone table, the expressions of the cultivators varied as they saw Yang Tianyou arrive.

Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu's eyes were full of satisfaction, Jin Lianri beside him also showed appreciation, making no attempt to hide his goodwill.

The last Golden Core Cultivator Zheng Qiufeng, remained indifferent and showed no sign of intimacy.

"Young friend Yang has successfully Foundation Establishment and embarked on the Great Dao to immortality. Congratulations! If Xiao Ge knew this news, he would be overjoyed!" Jin Lianri spoke first, smiling.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior. It has been a long time since I last met with Brother Jin, and I have been missing him dearly. I must pay him a visit after this matter is over!" Yang Tianyou replied with a slight smile.

Zheng Qiufeng, who was standing nearby, overheard the conversation between the two and his eyes flickered slightly. It was clear that the Yang Household was stating their position.

However, he didn't care about this small Lineage. Out of politeness, he chuckled and said, "This must be Yang Tianyou of the Great White Blade. Now that you've entered the Foundation Establishment, your future is limitless!"

Hearing these obviously polite words, Yang Tianyou remained unmoved, but wore a sincere smile and quickly replied respectfully, "Thank you for your praise, senior!"

His demeanor was respectful, but lacked warmth, a stark contrast to his attitude towards Jin Lianri.

The way Yang Tianyou handled his attitude, both before and after, was just right, which made Jin Lianri smile even more and his opinion of Yang Tianyou improved.

A person who can clearly see their own place is likable no matter where they are, right?

After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Tianyou stood behind Yang Haoyu, his expression serious, recalling the details of the plan left by his Old Ancestor in the intelligence.

Faced with the Black Sha Sect's attack, Yang Haoyu, like Yang Tianyou, decided to first retaliate against the Zhao Household.

However, how to retaliate, how to strike the Zhao Household to the greatest extent possible, and at the same time secure sufficient benefits and interests for the Yang Household, is a question worth pondering.

Therefore, Yang Haoyu summoned Yang Qiongye, the Lineage's strategist. The two devised a plan in a short period of time and put it into action immediately.

This plan can be summarized in four words: drive away the tiger to devour the wolf!

Yang Haoyu has a habit of reviewing important events that his Lineage has experienced in the past every now and then, so as to learn from them and draw lessons.

After the fall of Crouching Ox Pass, Qi Yulong came into Yang Haoyu's sights, and she treated this dangerous figure with the utmost vigilance.

Therefore, when Yang Haoyu was browsing through the Lineage's past records, he focused on the matter of selling the Dragon Valley Hall to Jin Lianri.

She noticed a detail: the price Jin Lianri paid for the Dragon Valley Hall was significantly higher, around 20,000 to 30,000 Spirit Stones, or even more.

It should be noted that the other party was in a completely advantageous position at the time, and in theory, it wouldn't have been unreasonable for them to try to lower the price further. However, the final price they offered was extremely generous, which is very rare for a sect that started out in trade.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Haoyu might have thought, like Yang Dangmo who went to the transaction, that this was due to the generosity of the Gold and Silver Alliance. However, after the matter of the Dragon Valley Sect's restoration, she couldn't help but think more about whether there was any connection between the two.

A woman's intuition is always frighteningly accurate, and Yang Haoyu is no exception; she has great faith in her intuition.

Based on this intuition, Yang Haoyu formed a bold hypothesis: that there were some incredibly valuable treasures in the Dragon Valley Hall that had not yet been discovered by the Yang Household and Zhao Household.

When Jin Lianri discovered this treasure, whether out of kindness or for some other reason, he chose to compensate with Spirit Stones and resources.

The crux of the matter lies in this unknown treasure.

It should be noted that the Yang Household and Zhao Household had thoroughly searched the Dragon Valley Hall, looting and taking away all valuable items that could be disassembled and moved, yet they still failed to find this treasure.

There is only one possibility: this treasure is very well hidden. The most likely possibility is that it is integrated with the Dragon Valley Hall. Only in this way can it evade the careful Detection of the Yang and Zhao Households.

Yang Haoyu guessed that Jin Lianri was able to discover the treasure partly because of his high level of cultivation, specifically the Golden Core Realm. Once Cultivator Golden Core Formation Pill and achieves mastery of Divine Sense, their ability to perceive subtle details is far superior to that of Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

On the other hand, it is very likely that Jin Lianri refined the Dragon Valley Hall on the spot. As the owner of this Grotto-Heaven Law Treasure, he would naturally be able to discover all the secrets hidden within Law Treasure.

Therefore, further speculation suggests that since this treasure is hidden so deeply, it indicates that the Dragon Valley Sect attaches great importance to it, perhaps even more so than the Dragon Valley Hall.

Would Dragon Valley Sect give up such a treasure, or rather, would Qi Yulong, who rebuilt Dragon Valley Sect, give it up?

Yang Haoyu couldn't help but recall the rumors that circulated when the Dragon Valley Sect was destroyed two hundred years ago.

It is said that when the Dragon Valley Sect was destroyed, it was actually divided into two parts, one in the open and one in the dark. The one in the open was Zhou Zhenhao, the Dragon Valley Sword Immortal who served as the Inheritance Elder, while the one in the dark was the sect leader's lineage.

However, more than two hundred years have passed, and the lineage of the Dragon Valley Sect Master has never appeared. This news has been treated as mere rumor and laughed off.

However, after Qi Yulong destroyed the Three Rivers Sect's headquarters and announced the restoration of the Dragon Valley Sect a few days ago, the authenticity of this news was beyond doubt, and it also gave Yang Haoyu a basis to continue his speculation.

She put herself in his shoes, wondering what she would do if she were the sect leader of the Dragon Valley Sect more than two hundred years ago. What if she truly possessed an extremely precious treasure?

The answer is, divide it into two!

The two sides, one open and one covert, each took a portion of the treasure, with the covert side keeping the most crucial core part of the treasure.

Such a treasure that requires careful preservation is definitely not a combat-type Law Treasure, because when facing a crisis of annihilation, combat-type magic weapons would certainly be used. Therefore, this is most likely a functional heirloom.

These heirloom treasures contain mostly stable Spirit Mark and Spiritual Qi, making them extremely stable, unlike Law Artifacts and Law Treasures used in combat, which are easily damaged if disassembled rashly.

Therefore, in most cases, even if a treasured heirloom is split in two, its effectiveness will not be affected. As long as some cost is incurred when using it, it can simply be recombined.

Yang Haoyu believed that the safest method was for one side to take a portion of the treasure, while the side in the shadows would keep the most crucial and core parts of the treasure. This way, even if one side was defeated, the lost treasures would be incomplete and unable to be used, thus preventing them from falling into enemy hands.

The other side, having survived and risen again, still has the possibility of retrieving the treasure.

Qi Yulong is one of the survivors from back then, so he will never give up searching for such a treasure.

Then the rest is a matter of course: after making a bold assumption, it's time to carefully verify it and prove the correctness of your hypothesis!

This is actually not difficult; the method is simple: just send someone to Detection the recent activities of the Devil Cultivators from the Dragon Valley Sect.

Since the resurgence of the Dragon Valley Sect, it has been riding high, making this the best time to search for treasures.

Just by observing whether Qi Yulong, the sect leader of the Dragon Valley Sect, has sent people to search for something, Yang Haoyu's guess would be pretty much correct.

The Yang Household acted swiftly, which was also largely due to Qi Yulong's lack of concealment of his intentions. Before long, Yang Haoyu received news that a large number of the Dragon Valley Sect Devil Cultivators were indeed searching for something!

Upon learning of this, she felt certain and, based on this, began to devise a plan to strike at the Zhao Household.

But before the plan could be completed, the Black Sha Sect launched an attack.

After the attack, Yang Haoyu was furious at the enormous losses his Lineage had suffered. He then summoned Yang Qiongye, and the two of them worked together to perfect the original plan.
