Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 336 – Slaughtering

The conversation with Zhang Huzi went on smoothly, as both sides had their own needs. With the refiners controlling the refinement and extraction of ores, Xishan Village no longer needed to sell raw ores, and instead would directly sell low grade spirit materials, thus their income would naturally increase greatly.

On the other hand, Zhang Huzi could use the ore mine at the mine to hone his refining skills, and Yang Junshan had also promised that Yang family would use all his power to gather spirit materials for him to help him become the first Artifact Master, but Zhang Huzi would become a vassal in the future.

During the entire conversation between the two, the Blacksmith Zhang had never revealed himself. Yang Junshan did not mind either, at least in his opinion, the value of Zhang Huzi to the Madame Yang was much higher than his.

Perhaps, it was because Yang Junshan had crippled two Martial Realm Cultivator’s cultivation in one go and had used such ruthless methods to intimidate the cultivators of the various villages in the surrounding mines. In the next half year, the construction of the Xishan Village’s mine was steadily progressing, and all the spirit materials that had been excavated were sent back to the Xishan Village.

On the other hand, with the support of the Madame Yang, Zhang Huzi set up the refining workshop for the spirit material mine in the Xishan Village. He directed a group of people to work day and night to refine the spirit material from the ores, and then, through the channels that the Xishan Village had established these years, he sold them and brought back a cart full of Jade Coins and other cultivation resources to the Xishan Village.

Yang Junshan, who was in charge of overseeing the Sunset Ridge’s mines, did not miss out on any of the major events that had happened in the Mengyu County. During this half year, the Mengyu County looked like it was flourishing because of the huge Sunset Ridge mining lode, but there were actually dark waves surging in the shadows, and all sorts of forces were fighting incessantly.

The first was half a year ago, when the county magistrate suddenly ordered the entire county to clear the area of the Ling Tian that belonged to every village. The next was to expose that Wangqiu Town, Wasteland Town and Sandtown were hiding their Ling Tian on a large scale, and the area of the hidden Ling Tian was over ten acres.

It had to be known that even though two years had passed since the giant locust disaster, due to the lack of spiritual valley s, the food prices in the three towns had always been high. If there were tens of mu of Ling Tian s to produce, the three towns’ Spiritual Farmers s would not be living such a miserable life.

And these three towns were the “traditional” scope of influence of the two families, Xiong and Yu, of the three tyrants in the Mengyu County. Although the Spiritual Farmers of the three towns were under the influence of the three tyrants and they did not dare to act rashly, but as the guardian of these three towns, the lives of the children of the two powerful families were not so good.

Very quickly, the Spiritual Farmers from the three towns started to clash with the bear farmers of the Ling Tian s and with the two powerful families of the Yu Family. From then on, it became a large-scale gang fight, and some people even died in front of them.

Among them, Martial Realm Cultivator s from the Xiong and the other two families had joined in an attempt to intimidate the three town’s Spiritual Farmers s. Unexpectedly, before these people could act, Martial Realm Cultivator s from the three towns had already gone up and returned without any success.

Normally, these Martial Realm Cultivator from the three towns would not have the guts to confront the tyrannical Martial Realm Cultivator of the Xiong and Yu families. However, this time, it was extremely strange, these people had the courage to not only stop the suppression of the Martial Realm Cultivator, but also to fight with the tyrant cultivators from the two families.

Following his order, the three Dream Yoga Guards teams from the Mengyu County entered the three towns respectively. Soon after, a team from the Qingzhang Tribe formed from the various villages in the Mengyu County to inspect the Ling Tian of the three towns first, and a few acres of Ling Tian were distributed to the various villages amidst the cheers of the Spiritual Farmers from the three towns.

However, what surprised Yang Junshan was that even though the two families were split up by the Ling Tian, although there were some clansmen from the Xiong and Yu families trying to stop them, no one from the high order cultivator, who were the true representatives of the two clans, came forward to express their stance, as if they had silently agreed to the punishment given to them by the County Magistrate.

Since when did the two powerful families, the Xiong and the Yu Family, submit so readily?

And what was strange was that another powerful family, the Ning family, was not affected by this storm. Why was that?

After the three towns were over, the magistrate court quickly turned their attention to Mengyu County’s warehouse shops. More than ten of the smaller shops were closed because of tax evasion, and all of the warehouses had been confiscated, with the biggest loss being still the Xiong and Yu Families. Although the Ning Family had two stores closed during this operation, compared to the Xiong and Yu Families, it was liklague of scabs.

However, Spiritual Master Chen Ji did not stop when faced with the two tyrants’ suppression. Instead, he punched out one after the other like a combination of fists, and this time, his punches directly landed on the two tyrants’ noses.

Three months ago, the Banyan Mountain Celestial Spirit Enclosure was opened, although the two families had only just entered Mortal Realm for the second batch, the quota had been reduced by 50%, but the Ning Family which was also strong, had only been reduced by 20%.

As for the extra slots, they were given to the Yang family of Wasteland Town, Tian family of Sandtown, Ma family of Wasteland Town and more than a dozen other families.

Some of these families were newly rising Prominent Class families like the Yang and Tian Families, while others could only be considered as small and medium-sized families. They couldn’t even be considered as Prominent Class.

Perhaps it was because their family’s quota had been cut, that the disciples of the two strong families that entered the Banyan Mountain were unusually hostile to others, and not long after they entered the Banyan Mountain, there were several conflicts.

However, just at this time, the Mengyu County border suddenly alerted them, the Sirius Gate cultivators rushed over, but because of the war, the border guards around the border had been greatly reduced, causing the cultivators on patrol to be unable to seal the border, they had no choice but to notify the sect, and the news spread to the Banyan Mountain, where three of the inner sect cultivators immediately sealed the Banyan Mountain’s protective array and rushed towards the border.

After the three days of besieging the Immortal Spirit Qi ended, the three guardian beasts returned on time. However, when the besieging grounds reopened, the most serious casualty event in the history of the Banyan Mountain occurred!

Over a dozen of the powerful descendants of the Xiong and Yu Families who entered the Banyan Mountain did not come out, and more than half of the remaining people had injuries on their bodies, their faces filled with fear and tears.

As for the disciples from the other small and middle forces in Mengyu County, there were also a lot of casualties. However, perhaps it was because of the large number of people, their losses compared to the disciples from the Xiong and Yu Families were much less.

The parents waiting outside the Banyan Mountain were shocked, thinking that something had happened inside the Banyan Mountain. However, when all the parents asked about what had happened, the cultivators from the Xiong and Yu Families and the cultivators from the other small and middle-sized powers started fighting with each other.

This was related to the safety of each family’s child. This time, both sides did not hold back any longer and began a life and death struggle. Soon, it turned into a bloody conflict.

However, at this time, the two sides were already fighting with bloodshot eyes, there was no way for them to listen to their advice. Helpless, the three guardian cultivators tried to use their own strength to forcefully separate the two sides, so as to avoid causing more casualties.

In the end, they were still disciples of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so the three Mountain Guarding Cultivators attacked at the same time. The three sacred arts smashed into the gap between the two sides, and the powerful voice caused both sides to pause in their battle.

However, right at this time, a Yu Clan cultivator rushed out and shouted: “Heaven-Shaken Sect of the dog, don’t think that we don’t know that this is not your doing, stealing our Ling Tian, sealing our shop, and now you are killing our children, even thinking of pulling some strings, you are simply not giving us a chance to live! At this rate, our two families will lose all of our descendants, so why don’t we just fight with them for it!”

After this cultivator said this, he controlled his magic tool and charged towards the three Mountain Guarding cultivators. He didn’t seem to be afraid of death and was obviously going to go all out.

The three cultivators tried to warn him, but to their eyes, he looked like a mad demon. Even if he was injured, he would bite off a piece of meat. He looked like he wouldn’t stop until he died, and could only kill him.

The two cultivators, who were originally quite worried, saw that the cultivator had died and felt pity for him. However, someone first shouted, “Fight them to the death!” This immediately resonated with the cultivators of the two clans. The two cultivators rushed out like a swarm of bees and charged towards the three cultivators guarding the mountain.

Even though the three Mountain Guarding Cultivators had extremely high powers, facing the combined attacks of more than ten Martial Realm Cultivator, and amongst them were people with strength equivalent to theirs, they still quickly died on the spot. However, the two great families had also paid the price of two injuries.

The cultivators from the two great clans were also charging towards the Mountain Guarding cultivators. The cultivators from the various clans and Village Head, who had already killed to the point of red, also took action, causing the two sides to once again engage in a chaotic battle.

In the midst of the fierce battle, those children who had just come out of Banyan Mountain were once again the targets for cultivators from both sides who had lost their minds. It was unknown which side attacked the children of the other side first, which quickly turned into an abnormal massacre.

By the time the news of the battle reached the county city and the Mengyu County rushed over to suppress them, it had already become a battleground for the Banyan Mountain. Half of the two families’ Martial Realm Cultivatoad already perished, and almost all of them had suffered injuries; the other families’ Martial Realm Cultivator s had suffered heavy casualties as well.

There were only seventy or so youngsters left when they came out of Banyan Mountain. However, both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle with Banyan Mountain, and these young cultivators became the targets of the two sides as they fought each other to kill. In the end, only less than thirty survived, and more than ten of them were already scared silly by the scene and did not know if they would be able to recover.

Not long after the Dream Yoga Guards took control of the situation in the Banyan Mountain, Spiritual Master Chen Ji was the first to arrive. It was said that the furious Spiritual Master Chen Ji used a spirit whip to directly pull ouuge trench in the plaza below the Banyan Mountain.

Following that, another three terrifying auras descended, but they did not appear, and Spiritual Master Chen Ji also disappeared. Only the lucky survivors could hear that after Spiritual Master Chen Ji left, the sky above Banyan Mountain was filled with muffled thunder for a short period of time, as though he was crying out grievances for the souls below.

When Yang Junshan received this news, he was completely shocked. The Banyan Mountain was clearly the real Chen Ji’s plan for the Xiong and Yu Families, but the result seemed to be too crazy!
