The Grand Finale

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Chen Feng, I won't contact you first. We just bumped into each other by chance. I didn't expect Yang Yun to be so vicious." Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother, then I'll take my leave."

"Okay."

After parting ways with Chen Feng, Lin Yu headed towards the Yang residence.

The Yang residence was heavily guarded, but it was no problem for Lin Yu, who had cultivated the Five Elements Escape Technique. Lin Yu easily entered the Yang residence and smoothly arrived at Yang Yun's courtyard.

Yang Yun was naturally unaware of Lin Yu's arrival.

Inside the Yang residence, Yang Yun's father, Yang Yun, was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Looking at Yang Yun wielding his Sword Qi, Lin Yu couldn't help but nod in approval.

Yang Yun's aptitude is quite good. Although he is currently only a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, his aptitude is excellent. He is only one step away from stepping into the Spirit Transformation realm and becoming a true master. In the future, he may become a master of the Yang family.

Yang Yun's swordsmanship was sharp and powerful; with each strike, the air vibrated, demonstrating immense power.

However, Lin Yu didn't take Yang Yun's attack methods seriously. He possessed the powerful Nine Yang Supreme Technique, and he was also protected by the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.

In his eyes, these attacks were nothing more than trivial tricks.

He didn't even bother to make a move; he just stood aside and watched Yang Yun practice his swordsmanship.

"Hmph~" Yang Yun practiced his swordsmanship for a while when he suddenly noticed someone staring at him. He turned his head and immediately saw a handsome face. That face seemed somewhat familiar.

"Huh? Isn't this Lin Yu? What are you doing in our house?" Yang Yun looked at Lin Yu in surprise and asked.

" Lin Yu? Junior Brother Lin Yu?" Upon hearing Lin Yu's name, Yang Tianba was slightly taken aback. He quickly rushed out of the house and began to carefully observe Lin Yu.

After staring for a while, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"My God! This... this really is Junior Brother Lin Yu!!" Yang Tianba exclaimed. "Is this for real?"

"That's right, it's me." Lin Yu smiled slightly. "Yang Yun, do you still remember me?"

Yang Yun looked at Lin Yu, but Lin Yu's image kept flashing through his mind. He thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize him."

"Don't you recognize me?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I don't know him," Yang Yun said.

"Hehe, that's alright." Lin Yu smiled. "We've met once before, so I remember you."

"Oh." Yang Yun scratched his head. "So we've met once before. I thought I'd lost my memory."

"Do you remember when we first met?" Lin Yu asked.

Yang Yun shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I can't remember anything. Junior Brother Lin Yu, what brings you here this time?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "I was just passing by the Yang residence and wanted to see you."

"Just passing by?" Yang Yun smirked, clearly not believing it.

"Yes, I just happened to be passing by the Yang residence, so I thought I'd drop by to say hello. Is that alright?" Lin Yu said.

"Of course it's convenient." Yang Yun nodded repeatedly, and then led Lin Yu to the living room.

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, what brings you here this time?" Yang Yun asked.

"It's nothing, I just came to visit you since I had nothing else to do," Lin Yu said with a slight smile.

"You... you're not here to kill me, are you?" Yang Yun suddenly asked, his eyes filled with wariness.

"I wouldn't dare kill you; if I did, the Yang family would exact a furious revenge." Lin Yu smiled slightly. "I came to find you only to exchange something."

"Exchange things? Exchange what?" Yang Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, "Naturally, we'll exchange some cultivation techniques, secret manuals, weapons, pills, and other such things. Your Yang family should have many cultivation techniques and secret manuals, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Our Yang family's martial arts techniques are all ancient and very precious," Yang Yun said. "My father cultivates the 'Yang Family Fist,' a technique passed down through our Yang family lineage, only to direct descendants. Outsiders are not allowed to study it unless they receive permission from our Yang family patriarch."

"The patriarch of the Yang family?" Lin Yu frowned and asked, "Does your Yang family have a person named Yang Xuan?"

Yang Yun was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Junior Brother Lin Yu, you mean you've met our Yang family's ancestor?"

"Not bad." Lin Yu nodded.

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, hurry, come with me! I'll take you to see the Ancestor right now. He's my grandfather!" Yang Yun excitedly grabbed Lin Yu's arm and headed towards a courtyard on the back mountain of the Yang family.

Lin Yu was pulled along by Yang Yun, and they headed towards the back mountain of the Yang family.

"The ancestor is cultivating in the back mountain, please wait a moment," Yang Yun explained to Lin Yu as they walked.

The back mountain of the Yang family is a forbidden area, accessible only to direct descendants of the Yang family.

Lin Yu and Yang Yun arrived at the courtyard quickly.

The courtyard was spacious, and various flowers and plants were planted around it. In the very center of the courtyard, there was a stone tablet with a pattern carved on it. The shape of the pattern looked exactly like Yang Xuan.

"This is the cultivation method practiced by our Yang family ancestors. These flowers and plants were cultivated by our ancestors. All of our Yang family's cultivation methods are here."

Yang Yun pointed to the pattern and said.

The image depicted was that of Yang Yun's father, who was the second most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Yang family. He had once been a Rogue Cultivator, but was later discovered by the ancestors of the Yang family and taken in as a direct descendant.

"These all belong to the Yang family ancestors. My father was also a direct descendant of the Yang family, but now he is dead. His remains are in that valley, which is called 'Yang Xuan'," Yang Yun said, pointing to the southeast corner of the courtyard.

"Are these Yang Xuan's remains?"

Lin Yu carefully examined the Baigu. Although the Baigu had decayed, it still retained the appearance of Yang Xuan from back then, looking just like a living person.

"Yes, he is Yang Xuan, an ancestor of the Yang family." Yang Yun nodded.

"I see." Lin Yu nodded.

Yang Xuan's remains did not appear to have been dead for a long time; rather, they looked as if he had just died.

Not only the traces on the remains, but also the presence of breath, all proved this: Yang Xuan's life had not ended.

Lin Yu pondered to himself, "Who exactly is this Yang Xuan? Yang Yun's father should be a direct descendant of the Yang family, but his cultivation method is different from Yang Xuan's."

"Junior Brother Lin Yu, our Yang family isn't actually a major sect. Our ancestors weren't much more powerful than my father or my older brothers and sisters. Our ancestors weren't all experts; they were divided into three branches."
