Chapter 329 - Planning

“I need the Yang family to stand by my side, and this time, your opponents will be the three strongest warriors of this county, specifically the Xiong Family, and more specifically, the Wangqiu Town. I need the Yang family to step in, to restrain the Xiong Family’s power!”

The Wangqiu Town was the traditional domain of the Xiong Family, and for many years, the protection of the Wangqiu Town had always been held by the descendants of the Xiong family. A newly promoted Prominent Class Yang family wanted to challenge the authority of the strongest in the county, no matter how one looked at it, this was an act that was out of control.

Seeing the Madame Yang and his son becoming hesitant, Song Wei seemed to understand what they were thinking. He smiled and said, “You do not need to worry about Xiong Family, there is already a teacher and this county’s Dream Beauty Guard suppressing you, you only need to deal with Martial Realm Cultivator’s who might be sent to Wangqiu Town!”

Even so, with the background of the strongest in the county, it was not something Yang family could compare to when Martial Realm Cultivator randomly sent over a dozen or so people. Thinking about it, when the Xishan Village went to the same village, Xiong Family casually sent ovehird steward, who was also a Perfection of the cultivator with peak martial arts realm, one could imagine the number of cultivators in the later stages of the martial arts realm.

In the entire Yang family, there was only Yang Tiangang who was at the peak of the martial arts realm, and the only cultivator that was at the late stage of the martial arts realm was Wu Shuo, but he was not surnamed Yang, and his identity as a Witch clan cultivator waroblem. Furthermore, only Yang Junshan and An Xia’s cultivation at the third stage of the martial arts realm was considered decent, and after the Western Mountain Madame Yang became a family member of the, An Xia bringing the whole family and leaving was already a foregone conclusion.

Even so, with Adept Realm Cultivator not helping, there was still hope, even though this hope still looked slim, it would depend on whether Yang Tiangang and his son believed that a single treasure manual was worth the risk or not.

Spiritual Master Chen Ji was calm as always, and Yang Junshan was also considering the gains and losses. However, Song Wei had a smile on his face, as if he was confident that the Yang family would make a choice that would benefit his side.

Yang Junshan’s heart skipped a beat as he thought about Song Wei and asked: “Big Senior, if it’s just based on the power Xiong Family has set up in the Wangqiu Town, my Yang family is confident that we can restrain it, even if we have the confidence to suppress it, it’s not because we don’t have the confidence. The only thing to worry about is that the Xiong Family will send our clan’s cultivators over continuously.

Yang Tiangang also raised his head at this time. In fact, when Song Wei guaranteed that the Xiong Family Dao Cultivators wouldn’t appear, Yang Tiangang already wanted to agree in his heart, but the reason he made such a difficult decision was only to get more support and help from the county magistrate.

Song Wei chuckled, as if he had already known that he would be asked this question, and said: “I haviece of news for you all, Xiong Family’s first grandson, Xiong Xiying, because in the Sunset Cave, he colluded with other cultivators to hurt their fellow disciples, but our sect had already stripped him of her identity as a true disciple, lowering him to the status of an inner disciple and releasing him into our county’s Wasteland Town to guard, and in the future, she will take over!”

Seeing the shocked expression on the Madame Yang father and son’s face, Song Wei continued to speak: “Speaking of this matter, it seems to have a lot to do with you, junior brother. I heard that you and Xiong Xiying had some conflicts at the Sunset Cave, and you have replaced Xiong Xiying as her true disciple.

Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment before recovering his composure. Witondering look on his face, he smiled bitterly: “Does that mean that this time, even if my Madame Yang does not provoke Xiong Family, he will not let us go?”

On top of the western mountain, within the light that could only be seen by Yang Tiangang and his son, Spiritual Master Chen Ji and Song Wei, swiftly disappeared into the horizon.

The father and son stood shoulder to shoulder on the summit. After a long while, Yang Tiangang stroked the manual in his hand and sighed, “Your grandfather had begged the Heaven-Shaken Sect several times for the Overthrow Secret Art but could not get it. In the end, he died when he was trying to attack the realms of life, but who would have thought that the treasure manual would come so easily today.

Yang Junshan said: “This cultivation technique is not necessarily weak, the Xiong Family is not so easy to deal with. Even if the Master of the magistrate promises the Xiong Family’s legacy to not act, how could it be easy to deal with Xiong Xiying, who is a Successor Disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect?”

“Hehe, didn’t you also get one year’s time from the Adept Chen? One year’s time is enough for us to make some preparations for this.”

In contrast to Yang Junshan’s worries, Yang Tiangang did not really care about it at all. In his view, the Overcast Treasure Incantation was enough to support Yang family in spying on the strong and powerful clans. Compared to this possibility, the price he had paid was completely reasonable.

“But this child does not have complete confidence in raising his cultivation to the late stage of martial arts realm within a year!”

“Haha …”

Yang Tiangang suddenly laughed and patted Yang Junshan’s shoulder, and said: “Xiaoshan, you must remember, although the cultivation world values individual strength, but in many cases, individual strength does not matter the overall situation. For example, if you want to deal with Xiong Family, you don’t think that the Adept Chen will ally with us, right?”

Yang Tiangang said in a serious tone: “Xiaoshan, if you can really advance to the fourth level of martial arts realm within a year, then that would be for the best. My Yang family will definitely havuge increase in strength and will have many successors, but even if you do not succeed, it will not affect the layout of the entire Mengyu County at all.

Although Lao Yang’s analysis made Yang Junshan feel a little disappointed, he couldn’t help but admit that what his father said was extremely reasonable.

“It’s just that in the past, the Adept Chen had always been slow in treating the strong and powerful in this county. I didn’t know that it would suddenly change and become so radical, going against the three powerful men!”

A look of doubt flashed across Yang Tiangang’s face as he said: “The first reason is that we have no other choice. Perhaps the former is because the external crisis of the Heaven-Shaken Sect is about to erupt, and in order to focus our energy to deal with it, we have no choice but to quickly calm down the internal instability. As the saying goes, ‘anything outside of the city must first be safe inside.’ If it’s the latter, it’s because the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s overall strength has undergone a qualitative increase, and these powerful families are no longer in the eyes of the Heaven-Shaken Sect!”

What kind of reason could it be?

Originally, Yang Junshan would have thought that it was the first method without hesitation, but from the beginning to the end, when he was conversing with Song Wei, both Master and Disciple had very confident expressions, as if it was only the second method, while Yang Tiangang himself thought that it was the second method.

“Let’s go and take a look at the people from Bluestone Town. I heard that your Sixth and Tenth Uncle have personally come, they should all go and meet them!”

“Aunt and Fourth Grandpa can’t be thinking of asking Dad to return to the family right now, right?”

“Is that possible?”

“Uh, even if we had that plan, with dad, with your current situation, as long as Sixth Uncle and Tenth Uncle are sane, they wouldn’t bring it up again. They wouldn’t be asking for help, right?”

“Well, that might be possible…”

Just as the father and son pair were discussing about the agreement they had with the Adept Chen, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, who was flying back towards the city on a cloud, was also discussing about the Yang family.

“Teacher seems to think too highly of Yang family this time!”

“Oh,” Spiritual Master Chen Ji said without turning his head back, “You are talking about the Earthen Shattering Treasures?”

Song Wei nodded his head: “That’s right, teacher will usreasure manual as a bargaining chip, although it can make the Yang family use his real ability, but from my perspective, even if I have to use something as a bargaining chip, the Yang family will still agree, after all it is just a force that has just become a Prominent Class, their accumulation of knowledge is still shallow, not to mention that the Yang family and the Xiong Family have an old grudge, even if they don’t say anything, in terms of dealing with the Xiong Family, the Yang family will not fall behind!”

Spiritual Master Chen Ji slightly smiled and said, “Do you still think that with sucigh level cultivation technique, the Yang family will appear, and even if we overthrow the Xiong Family, there will be a possibility of another Madame Yang being powerful?”

Being hit by the teacher’s words, Song Wei could only laugh awkwardly: “Teacher’s eyesight is sharp, but disciple thinks that we do not need to be this cautious, especially since the ancestor of our sect has already succeeded, we can cut through anything quickly, if there really is someone who dares to jump out and carry everything, isn’t that the chicken that is already prepared to be used to frighten monkeys?”

“Even you think so, you can imagine how radical the sect’s strategy is in dealing with the powerful families of the counties under their jurisdiction. No wonder why Xiong Xiying’s identity as a Successor Disciple was so straightforward, it seems that when Senior Master took that step, the entire sect’s views were completely different!”

Song Wei was a little puzzled when he heard it, “Master seems to be dissatisfied with the current situation of the sect. This disciple remembers that teacher once advocated the centralization of power in the sect, and now that my Heaven-Shaken Sect is reviving its prestige, why does teacher … ”

“Unsatisfied?” Spiritual Master Chen Ji laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, “When my Heaven-Shaken Sect was the Patriarch Nine Toughness, he dominated the entire cultivation world of the Yuzhou. Even if it fell later on, the legacy of the Daoist Realm was never cut off, and I still havivotal position in the entire cultivation world!”

“Now that the sect is guarding the Yuxian, and the entire strength of the sect has been used to force Martial Uncle to take this step, it is time for him to rest and recuperate, to make up for the years of overdraft.” Now that the sect is guarding the Yuxian, and the entire strength of the sect has been used to allow Martial Uncle to take this step, it is time to recuperate and make up for the years of overdraft.
