Chapter 3190, Lesser Fullness (mysteriously disappeared)
Yang Tian smiled bitterly, his gaze falling on Hu Xiaoman, and slowly said, "I'm sure you've heard that our Feiyang City is home to two ancient families that have stood for centuries."
"The Zhou family has always hoped that a sect leader would emerge from their clan."
"Unfortunately, the former sect leader of Feiyang Realm, Sect Leader Zhu, suddenly disappeared a few years ago, leaving no trace, neither alive nor dead."
"As for me, I was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Elder Hu of the Flying Sun Realm a few years ago."
"The position of sect leader in the Flying Sun Realm has always been selected only from within the sect, which gave the Zhou family an opportunity."
He paused, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice: "Don't be fooled by the fact that Feiyang Realm is ranked as a mid-level sect in the Extreme Plate Immortal Cultivation World. They are actually quite strapped for cash, and what they lack most is money."
"The Zhou family paid a million taels of gold to buy me the position of Flying Sun Realm Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone tinged with amusement: "Oh?"
"So, your position as sect leader was bought with money."
Yang Rui, who was standing to the side, immediately sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "I've never heard of a sect leader's position being put on a price tag in my entire life."
Hua Nian said with a hint of teasing, "The Zhou family has plenty of money. As the old saying goes, 'Money makes the world go round.'"
"Buying a sect leader position isn't unusual."
Yang Rui's words were barbed: "That's true, the Zhou family is probably so poor now that all they have left is money."
His hands clenched slightly!
If it weren't for the Flying Sun Realm, their Kunlun Sect wouldn't have almost been wiped out!
As he said this, his gaze drifted almost imperceptibly towards Yang Shuang, who was standing beside Yang Tian.
That gaze lingered for only a moment, but it happened to meet Yang Shuang's eyes.
Yang Rui looked away immediately, as if he had been burned.
The fleeting elation that had just appeared in Yang's eyes vanished without a trace as his gaze shifted away, leaving only a faint sense of melancholy.
Hu Xiaoman saw all of this subtle scene.
It seems that there is indeed some unusual connection between Fourth Senior Brother and Yang Shuang.
Judging from Fourth Senior Brother's attitude, he clearly has no feelings for Yang Shuang.
On the contrary, Yang Shuang's eyes, when looking at her fourth senior brother, held a deep affection that was being suppressed so intensely that it was almost overflowing.
Yang Tian was unaware of the undercurrents here, and continued in a deep voice: "To be honest, the Zhou family is indeed very wealthy."
"Although the Lin family and the Zhou family are both century-old families, the Lin family has declined in recent years and is far less prosperous than the Zhou family."
"If it weren't for the occasional help from the Zhou family, the Lin family probably wouldn't have been able to survive long ago."
He paused slightly, his tone becoming somewhat cryptic: "After all, with something like that hidden away, how could the Lin family possibly have an easy life?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman's gaze suddenly darkened.
Yang Tian's words clearly indicate that he knows about Lin Ying!
Since he knows it, then the entire Zhou family must know it too.
The Lin family produced an evil entity like Lin Ying, yet the Zhou family remained indifferent and took no action whatsoever.
What kind of intention does An have?
She then recalled Zhou Wenlun, the young master of the Zhou family, whom she had met before.
When that person looked at Lin Ying, his eyes were filled with undisguised infatuation, as if he wished he could give her his heart.
Since the Zhou family knew that Lin Ying was an evil being, there was no reason why Zhou Wenlun wouldn't know.
But why does he still act so devoted to Lin Ying?
What exactly does the Zhou family want to do?
Yang Tian continued, but with a hint of helplessness: "When I first became the leader of the Flying Sun Realm, I was actually happy for a while."
"But our joy didn't last long before trouble struck."
"Although I am the son-in-law of the Zhou family, the Zhou family has never truly trusted me."
“They specially brought my wife, Zhou Ya, to Feiyang Realm.”
"They called it a way to reunite my husband and me, but in reality, they were just using her as a bargaining chip to control me."
“My wife is already in poor health. Feiyang Realm is located at a high altitude and is shrouded in thick fog all year round, and the air is very damp.”
"Such an environment is detrimental to her condition in every way."
"In just a few days, her health deteriorated, and her condition worsened day by day."
At this point, Yang Tian's voice became more urgent: "I knew that things couldn't continue like this, so despite the Zhou family's objections, I insisted on sending my wife down the mountain to recuperate."
"But just as I finished packing my luggage, intending to send her back to the Zhou family—"
Yang Tian clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "My wife has disappeared!"
"I only went out to pour her a glass of warm water, which was less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. When I returned, the room was empty!"
Yang Tian's eyes gradually became bloodshot: "She just disappeared right under my nose!"
"That night, I led my men to turn the entire Feiyang Realm upside down, but we couldn't find a single trace of them."
"I'm so scared... My wife is my life."
"I can't live without her."
"I would give up everything for her; I only pray that she can come back safely."
"But she vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace!"
Yang Shuang's eyes also turned red.
She had witnessed her parents' love firsthand.
From childhood, my parents were a sweet and loving couple, living a happy and wonderful life.
Therefore, she was full of hope for love.
She hoped that she could have a beautiful love like her father and mother, and that she could have only one love in her life.
Her mother was gone, and she watched helplessly as her mother's health deteriorated.
Hearing her father's words now, her heart still aches faintly!
Hu Xiaoman frowned.
Another unexplained disappearance!
Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the black bird not far away, tightly bound by thick hemp rope, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.
"Do you think Lin Ruoying did it?" she asked.
Yang Tian shook his head: "At first, I also suspected it was her."
"As the sect leader, I have long known of the existence of such an evil creature hidden in Feiyang Realm."
"But I later found out that she had nothing to do with it, she didn't do it!"
He suddenly raised his eyes, his angry gaze burning like fire, and stared straight at the Mirror Ancestor who was being trampled under the feet of the golden dragon.
"It's him!"
"It was that beast, Kagami, who did it!"
His anger was so intense it felt like it was setting him on fire; even his voice was trembling.
"He claimed to be a Celestial Master and Talisman Master in the Extreme Plate Immortal Cultivation World, and had been in seclusion for a hundred years, not concerning himself with worldly affairs."
"But in reality, he's just a demon in human skin!"
His words drew everyone's attention to Mirror Ancestor.
At this moment, the old man was trampled under the feet of the golden dragon, looking utterly pathetic, yet still exuding a sinister aura.
"He kidnapped my wife!" Yang Tian's voice was filled with anger.
"He wasn't in seclusion at all; he might have already come out!"
"He took advantage of my inattention, knocked her unconscious, and kidnapped her to his secluded mountain cave for cultivation!"
