Chapter 178 – Bounty

Just as An Xia and the rest left the Tuo Wu Shan, a group of Frontier Cultivators sealed off the Tuo Wu Shan’s secret passage, the only difference being that, even if An Xia and the rest could return, they would not be able to preserve the resources of the ten over carriages.

After passing by the Wangshan Town, the few of them came to understand the situation. There was a group of Sirius Gate cultivators that sneaked into the Wangshan Town and launched a surprise attack on the gatehouse.

The Martial Realm Cultivator went all out in a resistance, but they were caught off guard in the end, and the defense post was still breached. The large number of warehouses that the Wangshan Town had stocked up on for food taxes this year were found by these people, and abouhird of the spiritual valley and other cultivation resources were looted.

This group of Sirius Gate’s cultivators had no choice but to leave. Before they left, they even lit up the storage area of the Wangshan Town, and although they were saved and exterminated, one third of the spiritual valley s and cultivation resources were still burnt.

Yang Tiangang heard An Xia recount the events in the Wangshan Town, and immediately became serious. He asked: “Where is that group of Sirius Gate cultivators, did they break out of the encirclement and return to the Zhang County, or did they flee to the Mengyu County?”

An Xia said: “This is what I want to tell you, third brother, that the Frontier Cultivators caught up to the Frontier Cultivators and engaged in a big battle. Both sides suffered injuries and deaths, and a batch of supplies were brought back, but the remaining people of Sirius Gate were also defeated and escaped, but the Frontier Cultivators quickly sealed up the Tuo Wu Shan.

Yang Tiangang stood up and said: “Inform all Martial Realm Cultivator s in the village to be on high alert, I need to inform Meng Shan, and ask him to inform the other Village Head s, so as to prevent the wandering Sirius Gate cultivators from causing trouble.”

Yang Tiangang was currently both in charge of the Wasteland Town and in charge of the city, so the matters of the Wasteland Town might have already been reported to the county magistrate court, but it would be a waste of time to ordeeturn trip to the local village.

Yang Junshan suddenly thought of something and asked An Xia: “That’s right, Seventh Uncle, what is the cultivation level of this group of Sirius Gate cultivators?”

An Xia said: “I can’t say for sure, but there are people from the early to late stages of martial arts realm. Now that they have been defeated by the border guards, and each of them have fled, no one knows which one they will encounter.”

Shi Nansheng said at this time. “This Wangshan Town is really unlucky. Three years ago, he was killed and protected by the Sirius Gate, and when the giant locust came, he bore the brunt of it. Now, it was not easy for him to recover his vitality, but after being robbed like this by the Sirius Gate …”

Blacksmith Zhang also added, “It’s not that big of a deal, I think the Sirius Gate is not just taking revenge because of the previous attack by the Dream Yoga Guards on Yuanwu Town, they really lack spiritual valley s. This time, the County Official had ordered for the borders to be sealed, all the secret passages were sealed, and even the proper trading routes were not allowed to leave.

As the two talked about the Wangshan Town, Yang Junshan recalled the current Wangshan Town’s guard, Wu Fengzhu. After the former Wangshan Town’s Deputy Guardian, Sun Zelei, colluded with the Sirius Gate to kill the former Guardian, the position of Wangshan Town’s guard fell into Wu Fengzhu’s hands.

In the past few years, she had worked diligently in the Wangshan Town, causing the Wangshan Town to develop from a pile of rubble to its current state. It could be said that she was quitopular person in the Wangshan Town, but it was precisely this kind of person that took the initiative to surrender and open the door to the Mengyu County before the destruction of the Heaven-Shaken Sect in his previous life and the invasion of the Mengyu County.

Yang Junshan himself only suspected that if sucerson was really a chess piece laid down by the Sirius Gate, it might actually be related to him. However, in his heart, Yang Junshan had already put the Wangshan Town’s Wu Zhuan into a dangerous position.

Yang Tiangang coincidentally returned at this time, and said after hearing: “So you’re saying, there might be more looting in the Sirius Gate next?”

Blacksmith Zhang spread out his hands and said: “How would I know? I was just guessing.”

However, Yang Junshan’s expression was gloomy, and said: “What Uncle Zhang has said makes sense, the borders of the Mengyu County and the Ling Zhang County are ovehousand miles long, how can a mere border guard be so watertight, I think we should be more careful, and rely on the spirit source land’s village protection formation, we need to arrange it as soon as possible.”

Shi Nansheng said: “How would we be able to make it in time, the village protection formation will have to protect the entire village, sucuge formation, even the Prominent Classes will have to spend many years before being able to set it up, the amount of resources required is too high.”

An Xia could not help but grumble: “What do you think of our Chen County Command? Although the two counties belong to different counties, but this is still the territory of the two Sirius Gatnd the Opening Spirit School s. The Sirius Gate and the Sirius Gate have a deep grudge, and revenge comes very quickly, but I think that the Opening Spirit School would not be able to take such a loss without making a sound! ”

The people in the room were quiet for a moment, then Yang Tiangang suddenly looked at Yang Junshan and said: “In a few days, go down to the city and trade the spirit herbs that are mature among the middle tier Ling Tian s for a batch of pills. Also, ask about the materials to set up the array, see if Shopkeeper Kong has any leads.”

Yang Junshan knew that Yang Tiangang actually wanted him to meet the. On that day, when the Xishan Village was fighting in the competition in the village, many of the Martial Realm Cultivator saw that Song Wei was biased towards him, but they were only suspicious of him at the very most. The matter of Yang Junshan being an honorary disciple of the Adept Chen was the biggest secret of the Yang family, so Yang Tiangang would naturally not reveal it.

When Yang Tiangang asked Yang Junshan to pay a visit to Spiritual Master Chen Ji, other than thanking him for helping with the matters of the village, he naturally wanted him to learn more from the mouth of the Chen County Magistrate.

Now that the Mengyu County’s situation was subtle, the usually gentle Adept Chen suddenly ordered the Dream Yoga Guards to kill in the Ling Zhang County and Huyao County, causing everyone to be unable to figure out the methods and thoughts of this County Order. The current Xishan Village was one of the small powers in the Mengyu County with Yang Tiangang’s help, and due to the incident in the village, the Xishan Village was already standing on the side of the county magistrate in the eyes of the people, causing Yang Tiangang to feel that it was necessary for him to follow the county magistrate’s footsteps, so he could make preparations.

But when they heard that Yang Tiangang had the way of the Great Cauldron Hall, Shi Nansheng and Blacksmith Zhang both revealed a surprised look on their face. They only knew that the spirit herbs planted within the middle tier Ling Tian s had all been sold to the Great Cauldron Hall s, but from the words they heard, they could tell that Yang Tiangang had a special relationship with the Great Cauldron Hall s manager Kong.

Yang Junshan nodded upon hearing this, and said: “Alright!”

Yang Tiangang took a deep breath and said: “I have already sent people to get Patriarch Xu and Young Master Li, then we should discuss how to guard against the wandering cultivators of Sirius Gate.”

The Li Family also had oveundred clans. Other than the Xu and Shi Families, they were considered to be the third largest family in Xishan Village. Moreover, there was also the Martial Realm Cultivator, Li Shaoqun.

Not long after, Xu Sanniang and Li Shaoqun arrived one after the other. After hearing about what happened in Wangshan Town, the two of them knew how serious the situation was and immediately started to discuss on how to guard against the attacks from the wandering cultivators.

Furthermore, the key is that the strength of the enemy is hard to determine. Although all of them escaped after being defeated, but it is difficult to reunite midway, so even if they did not reunite, we do not know if they are early stage martial arts realm cultivators or late stage cultivators. Xu Sanniang frowned and said.

Yang Tiangang replied: “With the strength of our village, regardless of being at the early or middle stage of martial arts realm, it doesn’t matter. But if it’s a cultivator at the late stage of martial arts realm, that’s the real problem.”

Shi Nansheng added: “The key is that these people are as fast as the wind, their whereabouts are hard to determine. If we destroy a few acres of Ling Tian and burn a few houses tomorrow, the moment we chase them out, they would escape, which would be difficult.”

Yang Junshan said. “Besides taking revenge by infiltrating the Mengyu County, it is very clear that they are here to plunder. What if they build a warehouse in the village with some spiritual valley or cultivation resources as bait?”

Everyone was silent for a moment, obviously they were considering the feasibility of Yang Junshan’s idea, after a moment, they did not say a word, and Li Shaoqun said: “What if the people that came are strong, while the cultivators of the late stage of martial arts realm can rely on the combined forces of us, but it will not be easy to make them stay, even if we cannot take everything and destroy the treasury, then wouldn’t we be the ones who lose?”

Yang Junshan said: “Then what if we have the help of the array?”

Everyone was startled, and after a while, An Xia asked with some worry: “Are you really able to trap cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm?”

Yang Junshan laughed and said: “If they really want to come, then we will have to face them. The right to take the initiative is not in our hands.”

Li Shaoqun asked again, “There is another problem, just like what Young Master Yang said, the initiative is in the hands of others, but we can’t just let them take it all. As the saying goes, only a thousand days of being a thief cannot guard againshief.”

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “Seems like I will need to borrow Senior Lin Chengsi’s help.”

The bait was already prepared, the Xishan Village caravan’s several large carriages were still outside the Yang family compound. The warehouse was originally located in the middle of Yang Tiangang’s compound, but Yang Tiangang would naturally not lure the fire of war into his own home, so he moved the spiritual valley that he had not changed this time back onto the carriage, and built a suggested warehouse at the stage in the village, pretending to be a village caravan that was about to set off.

At least three villages were attacked by strong people, resulting in dozens of casualties. Among them, two of the villages were Village Head, and all of the barns in the village had been plundered. At the same time, at night, there were also people from Tu Meng Village who were trying to attack the village, but because of Yang Tiangang’s reminder, they were discovered by a Martial Realm Cultivator on night watch.

In the afternoon, an emergency notice from the county magistrate had finally been sent to every village in Mengyu County. At the same time, a bountiful reward had also arrived!
