A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Standing behind Liu Qingxia, Chen Yang was deeply moved. Looking at her delicate yet resolute back, and feeling all that she had done for him, he secretly vowed never to betray her. At the same time, his hatred for Ma Tinghai intensified. Ma Tinghai had wronged him without any explanation, even trying to kill him. He had to get revenge!

Seeing Liu Qingxia's resolute attitude, Ma Tinghai knew it was impossible to take Chen Yang away today. He glared at Chen Yang and said hatefully, "Chen Yang, you just wait! You're lucky Liu Qingxia is protecting you today; one day I'll make you pay!"

Having said that, he lashed out with his whip and roared at the Ma family disciples, "Withdraw!"

The Ma family glared at Chen Yang resentfully before leaving with Ma Tinghai. The onlookers, seeing there was no more excitement, also dispersed, pointing and gossiping about Liu Qingxia and Chen Yang as they left.

Inside the Liu family mansion, Liu Qingxia looked at Chen Yang, the coldness on her face gradually fading, replaced by a trace of worry: "Ma Tinghai is narrow-minded. He suffered a loss today, and he will definitely not let it go in the future. You must be more careful in the future."

Chen Yang nodded.

He already had a plan in mind.

the next day.

Chen Yang found Meng Shuang.

He instructed Meng Shuang to send someone to deliver Ma Haoyu's jade pendant to the Ma family compound, along with a note that read: "Ma Haoyu is being pursued in Black Wind Mountain and is in critical condition. If you wish to save him, bring the family's elite forces immediately, or things may change."

Following Chen Yang's instructions, the messenger delivered the jade pendant and note to the Ma family compound. Ma Tinghai was pacing restlessly in his study when he heard a servant report that someone had delivered Ma Haoyu's jade pendant and a letter pleading for help. He was immediately startled and quickly ordered someone to bring the items to him.

Upon seeing the familiar jade pendant, Ma Tinghai's face instantly turned deathly pale. This jade pendant was one that Ma Haoyu had worn since childhood, always kept close to his body. Now it had appeared here, accompanied by a distress letter, clearly indicating that Ma Haoyu was indeed in danger.

"Black Wind Mountain!" Ma Tinghai stared anxiously at the note, his heart filled with urgency. "How could Haoyu be being hunted down at Black Wind Mountain?"

He knew that Black Wind Mountain was a complex terrain, teeming with wild beasts, and rife with bandits, making it extremely dangerous. Although Ma Haoyu was quite skilled, he was still young and inexperienced; if he were to encounter a powerful enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"No, I must go and save Haoyu immediately!" Ma Tinghai could no longer sit still and immediately summoned the family elders and elite disciples.

"Patriarch, what happened?" The Second Elder asked hurriedly when he saw Ma Tinghai's anxious expression.

"Haoyu is being hunted down in Black Wind Mountain, and his situation is critical!" Ma Tinghai handed the jade pendant and note to the elders. "We must set off immediately to Black Wind Mountain to rescue him!"

Upon seeing the jade pendant and the note, the elders' expressions all changed. The Third Elder said, "Patriarch, could this be a trap? What if this is a snare set by the enemy to lure us to Black Wind Mountain and then launch a surprise attack on the Ma family compound?"

"A trap?" Ma Tinghai frowned, then shook his head. "This jade pendant is Haoyu's personal possession; it's not something anyone else could easily obtain. Besides, Haoyu is impulsive; it's not impossible for him to encounter danger in Black Wind Mountain. We shouldn't delay. Even if it's a trap, I have to go check it out! If anything really happens to Haoyu, I'll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life!"

His tone was firm and left no room for argument. Seeing this, the elders stopped trying to dissuade him. After all, Ma Haoyu was the future heir of the Ma family, and if something were to happen to him, the Ma family's losses would be immeasurable.

Soon, the elite disciples of the Ma family had reassembled. Ma Tinghai, along with the Second Elder, Third Elder, and several other core elders, as well as fifty elite disciples, hurriedly headed towards Black Wind Mountain.

Watching the Ma family members leave, Chen Yang, who was lurking near the Ma family compound, curled his lips into a cold smile. Ma Tinghai had indeed fallen for the trap; now it was time for him to make his move.

Once the Ma family members had completely disappeared from sight, Chen Yang immediately used the Seven Steps Netherworld Slash, his figure transforming into a phantom as he silently infiltrated the Ma family compound.

Although the Ma family compound was heavily guarded, most of the elite troops had been taken away by Ma Tinghai, leaving behind only the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and disciples with lower cultivation levels, who were completely unaware of Chen Yang's presence.

Chen Yang moved like a ghost through every corner of the Ma family compound, avoiding the patrolling disciples, and crept towards the Ma family's warehouse.

As Ma Xinran's ex-husband, he naturally knew the location of the warehouse.

The Ma family's warehouse was located in the northwest corner of the compound and was guarded by two disciples.

Chen Yang approached silently, two flashes of cold light passing through his hand, instantly knocking the two guarding disciples unconscious without making a sound.

He pushed open the warehouse door, and a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him.

The warehouse was brightly lit and piled high with spirit stones, as well as various precious medicinal herbs, ores, and treasures. In one corner, a cultivation manual lay. Deep within the warehouse, a black treasure chest sat quietly, emanating a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, clearly containing the mid-grade magic artifact, the Heart-Locking Armor.

A hint of smugness flashed in Chen Yang's eyes. He strode to the pile of spirit stones, waved his hand, and stored all the spirit stones in his storage. These spirit stones were the wealth accumulated by the Ma family over hundreds of years, so they weren't exactly cheap.

Afterwards, he put all the medicinal herbs, ores, and various treasures in the warehouse into his storage bag.

These items can be auctioned off later.

After Chen Yang collected all the items...

He walked to the black treasure chest. The chest was engraved with intricate runes, clearly indicating a restriction. Chen Yang circulated his spiritual energy, placed his hands on the chest, and the energy slowly flowed into it along the runes. After a moment, the light from the runes on the chest dimmed, and the restriction was lifted.

Chen Yang opened the treasure chest, and a black suit of armor appeared before him. The armor was entirely black, covered with intricate patterns, and radiated a powerful aura. This was the Ma family's ancestral mid-grade magic weapon, the Heart-Locking Armor.

Mid-grade magical artifacts are now very rare.

This Heart-Locking Armor is a mid-grade defensive magic weapon, and it is even more rare.

Chen Yang picked up the Heart-Locking Armor, feeling its weight, and was overjoyed. With this mid-grade magic artifact, his ability to survive would be greatly enhanced. He put the Heart-Locking Armor into his storage bag, then checked the warehouse to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything of value before smiling with satisfaction.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the warehouse.

Chen Yang chuckled and left with ease.

A moment later, several Ma family disciples entered the warehouse, clearly on patrol. Upon seeing the unconscious guard on the ground, they were immediately alarmed: "Oh no! Someone has broken into the warehouse!"

"Quickly, notify the others!"

The entire Ma family was thrown into chaos.

Chen Yang acted as if nothing had happened and quickly returned to the Liu family.

After entering the room.

Chen Yang opened his storage ring and then checked his system.

[Items: Qingfeng Sword, mid-grade magic weapon, cannot be upgraded further. Soul-Slaying Bell, mid-grade magic weapon, cannot be upgraded further. Heart-Locking Armor: mid-grade magic weapon]

Chen Yang was dissatisfied when he saw that he only had 2,700 spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, the Ma family's century-old foundation only amounted to a mere 1,400 spirit stones, and even after counting the 1,300 spirit stones I had left, that was all.

We're so poor, so incredibly poor.

No wonder they resorted to any means to seize his spirit stones.

Chen Yang looked at him with disdain, then picked up the cultivation manual from the Ma family.
