Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 184 – Shock

After the Mengyu County’s bounty was issued, every village and town quickly launched a wave of wild catching of Sirius Gate cultivators, and from time to time, news of them killing any suspected Sirius Gate cultivators spread, but there was also news of them being unable to ambush and being taken revenge by the Sirius Gate cultivators.

In just a short span of three to five days, dozens of attacks had occurred within the Mengyu County. It was said that there were close to ten cultivators that had been captured and killed before the wave of attacks gradually subsided.

However, in these three to five days, the losses that the Sirius Gate cultivators had caused in the Mengyu County far exceeded the bounty they had for capturing and killing these people, and many people hoped to be able to obtain from the captured Sirius Gate cultivators that they had hidden away and plundered. Most of them also failed, because the vast majority of the defeated Sirius Gate cultivators did not leave behind their lives.

It was only at this time that someone noticed that something was amiss, because according to the Wangshan Town border guards back then, after the Sirius Gate cultivators were defeated, there were only about a dozen or so Sirius Gate cultivators that flowed into the county. Moreover, there were still a few injured people among the dozen or so people, so how could they cause sucuckus in the Mengyu County in just a few short days?

During this period of time, the Ning Family, which was one of the three great tyrants, respectively apprehended and killed a late stage Sirius Gate’s martial arts realm cultivator. There was also a Prominent Class Mengyu County who, at the price of the life of one of their family’s Martial Realm Cultivator s, killed a late stage Sirius Gate who attempted to burn down their clan’s treasury.

The fact that the Ning Family captured and killed a late stage martial arts realm Fei Xiu was nothing, then Sirius Gate Fei Xiu would simply be courting death if he were to find out about the Ning Family. On the other hand, the’s Prominent Class Sha Family had killed a late stage martial arts realm Sirius Gate and received praises from the entire Mengyu County, but the price that the Sha Family had to pay for that was not known to outsiders.

However, after the Sha Family received the bounty from Mengyu County’s head, they were intercepted and killed on their way back to the Sha Family. Two Martial Realm Cultivator’s and eight Sha Family’s Mortal Realm cultivators were not spared, and all the supplies they brought back from the county city were plundered.

That night, the Sandtown’s Sha Family was attacked by unknown cultivators. Although the Sha Family worked together to repel the enemies, two more Martial Realm Cultivator s died in the battle.

Although the Sha Family’s late stage martial arts realm cultivator, Changsha Yun Xing, had not been able to hold on, the two disciples from the Sha Family who had the highest possibility of advancing to the late stage of the martial arts realm had already fallen. The moment the old Family’s Changsha’s life force was exhausted, and the Sha Family did not have any future talents to inherit, the Royal Family’s Sha Family would no longer have the same attitude as the Wang Family.

When the news arrived, the entire Mengyu County was immediately in an uproar. Didn’t the remaining Sirius Gate only have a few dozen members left, and after going througeriod of slaughter, how could they organize a force that could blow the whole Sha Family apart?

The number of people that entered the Mengyu County was not limited to the dozen or so people that were scattered all over the place. This was the first reaction of all the forces in the Mengyu County.

Soon after, there were also rumors claiming that there was a spy in the Mengyu County. With the help of the informants from the Mengyu County, Fei Xiu quietly avoided the border guards and snuck in to cause trouble for the entire Mengyu County. There were even rumors that the informants might be among the Mengyu County’s border guards.

There were also rumors saying that this was because there were other powers within the Mengyu County who had malicious intents and were unsatisfied with the state. They were trying to use the Sha Family’s matter to pressure the Adept Chen s who had provoked the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School, to target the three tyrants head on.

At this time, the county magistrate, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, made his move once again. All the disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, both inside and outside of the Heaven Shaking Courtyard in the Mengyu County, were dispatched and stationed at the six main headquarters. There was only one town in the side courtyard, which was guarded by the Dream Yoga Guards, and the other was guarded by the Meng Yu Guards.

It was as if a ladle of cold water had been poured into a boiling pot. The entire Mengyu County suddenly quietened down in such a strange manner that all the rumours and rumors disappeared withourace. The panicking hearts of people calmed down immediately, and even the incident where the Sirius Gate attacked the village that was spread from all over the place every day did not happen again.

Ordinary people had returned to their original living conditions. Only some of the sharper cultivators seemed to have noticed the hidden contest behind the chaos.

And just when the cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Courtyard had all moved into the various garrisons, the Wasteland Town’s caravan of Xishan Village, which was originally formed on the basis of the Tuqiu Village’s caravan, had returned to the village.

Perhaps it was due to the deterrence of the Heaven-Shaking Courtyard’s cultivators entering and exiting the various guard posts, Yang Tiangang led sixteen carts of supplies from the Wangshan Town to Xishan Village. On the way there, he actually didn’t encounter any problems, and returned safely to Xishan Village.

Although the Xishan Village’s caravan was long famous, how could they possibly go out at such a crucial time, and with Yang Tiangang personally leading the caravan, which never happened before, could it be that the rest of them were not afraid of the Xishan Village being attacked by the Sirius Gate’s caravans?

Secondly, the Xishan Village Merchant Group had just returned from the Zhang County a few days ago due to the border martial law, so how could they leave again? What was even more suspicious was that under the situation with the border martial law, it was impossible for them to leave the Mengyu County, much less walk back and forth in such a short amount of time.

But the 16 carts full of goods could not be faked, although even the people in the Xishan Village were not sure about what was inside the 16 carts, but judging from the expressions of the few Martial Realm Cultivator carts and the many Yang Family members who accompanied the caravan, it was obvious that the village caravans were returning with everything they had.

Finally, someone guessed that Xishan Village must have discovered the location of the Sky Wolf Fei Xiu’s hidden loot. At this time, someone recalled the news they had vaguely heard from Xishan Village two days ago, saying that Sky Wolf Fei Xiu had also went to the Assault Village to kill dozens of people and destroy a few acres of Ling Tian, which caused a lot of losses to Xishan Village.

Wasn’t it said that after Fei Xiu and the others chased away the people who were assaulting the village together, they retreated? Could it be that they caught one of them and forced them to find the location of the hidden items from Fei Xiu’s mouth?

If that was really the case, then this Xishan Village’s information must be kept a secret!

However, what they did not know was that a few days ago, Xishan Village had been attacked for two consecutive days. It was just that because it was the first time, because of the formation, many people did not know what happened on that day, and because they were careless and got attacked on the second night, Yang Tiangang and the rest decided to let everyone know about it. Instead, they neglected the abnormal events from the night before, causing the news of the capturing Fei Xiu, who was at the peak of the martial arts realm, to be kept secret for a few more days.

It was only when Yang Tiangang and the rest successfully brought Sirius Gate Fei Xiu back from Wangshan Town and some of the resources he had plundered from the other Wangshan Town did everyone suddenly realize that there was something fishy going on that day.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of the sixteen full carriages full of cultivation resources? Even if it was the sixteen carriages of spiritual valley s, it would be the biggest amount of resources they had for cultivation, not to mention that these sixteen large carriages could not only contain the resources of the spiritual valley s.

If it was in the past, such a large sum of money would definitely not be enough to cover the entire road from village to village. However, currently, the Wasteland Town’s base was guarded by two late stage and two mid stage martial arts realm cultivators from the Heaven Shaking Courtyard.

These people represented the will of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. The bounty that was personally signed by Spiritual Master Chen Ji was clearly displayed in the villages, who would dare to explode at this time?

Although everyone could only watch as Xishan Village ate such a large amount of meat, it did not stop people from entering or leaving the Xishan Village. They asked about what had happened, both publicly and secretly.

However, when these people from the villages with various goals entered the Xishan Village, they were stunned by the bustling scene in front of them.

There were at least ten thousand people in the entire Xishan Village, among them nearly three thousand with cultivations, and about six or seven hundred with Mortal Realm level four and above that had reached the Spiritual Farmers’s standard, distributed amongst nearly five hundred families.

Now, these people were all busy with different things under the lead of the various Martial Realm Cultivator s. Even though every single person in the Xishan Village was extremely busy, and some people even seemed a little tired, every single person was full of energy.

At the same time, he also had to instruct these children on the difficulties they would encounter during their cultivation. Starting from this year, when the young cultivators of Xishan Village start cultivating, until the age of sixteen, they would be able to receive a sum of money and fodder from the village every year, regardless of their cultivation level, they would be able to compete with all the other villages in the entire Wasteland Town in this aspect, not to mention that these young cultivators were all organized together to train. This method could only be done by those Prominent Clans and powerful families.

Han Xiumei was in the midst of accounting for all the money and provisions in the village, and every day, large amounts of money and provisions were being spent from the public accounts and being transported to various corners of the village. Shi Nansheng was organizing the human labor of the entire village to repair and replenish the water resources, Xu Sanniang was bringing some of the Spiritual Farmers to repair the Ling Tian that had been damaged during the attack on the village as well as to maintain the other Ling Tian.

An Xia took out a drawing that Lin Chengsi had drawn, and according to the location marked on it, she brought over ten members of Lao Yang’s family to rush back and forth between the Xishan Village and half of the Western Mountain, she did not know what they were busy with, while Yang Tiangang accompanied Lin Chengsi to hide in the Spirit Spring Forest in the Western Mountain. The Spirit Spring Cave had been busy with something, ever since they brought the sixteen carriages of cultivation materials back to the Xishan Village, and whenever there was anything that was difficult to decide on, they would report on behalf of Wu Shuo who was guarding outside the pomegranate forest.

Just as the surrounding villages were all eyeing them covetously and all the forces were about to make a move, a piece of shocking news exploded out. A Heavenly Wolf Fei Xiu who was at the peak of martial arts realm was killed by the Xishan Village, and his corpse was sent to the county magistrate by the son of the Xishan Village, and his true body was verified.
