Chapter 363 – Confrontation

The strength that Yang Junshan had displayed had intimidated everyone present and when he turned this kind of strength into his own power, everyone present subconsciously chose to accept it as well.

At this time, the situation in the mines had already been settled. A majority of the Xiong Family members were killed, only a small portion escaped into the forest, and most of them were in the Martial Realm Cultivator. It would be extremely difficult to chase them down, but the mines had already fallen into the hands of the various forces of the villages.

However, when faced with the wealth left behind by the Xiong Family, not a single person dared to move. Everyone, including the people from the Western Mountain Madame Yang s, cast their gazes towards the Western Mountain Madame Yang youth standing in the middle of the mines.

And at this time, Yang Junshan was smiling yet not smiling; he was also staring at the face of a young man several tens of meters away, but this person’s face had instantly turned deathly pale!

“The eldest son of the Sandtown, Tian Yu?”

With regards to Sandtown’s Tian Clan, which had risen to prominence in the Mengyu County just like Western Mountain’s Madame Yang, the father and the son naturally wouldn’t be careless. Thus, the moment they saw this person, Yang Junshan immediately recognized his identity.

However, Yang Junshan still realised that he was still a little unsure about the’s new young master. At least, this Young Master Tian Yu’s cultivation was not at the second level of martial arts realm like people said, but at the third level of Evil Qi.

“Young Master Yang, please do not misunderstand!”

One of the Fury Qi realm cultivators beside Tian Yu stepped forward, blocking Yang Junshan’s gaze from looking at Tian Yu, and said: “Wei Lu’s actions were entirely his own doing. After all, even we didn’t know that he had already advanced to the late stage of martial arts realm!”

Yang Junshan recognized him as well. He was Tian Zheng Wang’s younger brother, Tian Zheng Tai, who was also Tian Yu’s uncle. Since the Sandtown Tian Clan was able to rise to prominence, Tian Zheng Tai was Tian Zheng Wang’s most trusted assistant.

The Tian Clan originated from the Sandtown’s Four Village Alliance, and it was not originally only the Tian Clan who said so, but in the process of rebelling against the Sandtown’s Prominent Class Sha Family, Tian Zheng Wang had relied on his outstanding skills to firmly bind this loose alliance, and the Tian Clan had stood out amongst the Four Village Alliance, their strength rapidly increasing.

However, compared to the Western Mountain Madame Yang s, the roots of the Sandtown Tian Clan was much tougher. At the very least, below Tian Zhenggang, there were at least four to five Evil Realm cultivators, and just this foundation alone was much more solid than the Madame Yang s’.

However, the Madame Yang also had its own advantage, and that was that the Madame Yang’s power was much purer than the Tian Family’s. The Madame Yang’s clansmen held the dominant position in the Yang family, and compared to the Tian Family, they were more united, more cohesive, and stronger.

Yang Junshan’s voice was filled with ridicule: “Are you saying that Wei Lu purposefully concealed his cultivation level and that he ambushed me? You guys don’t know?”

Tian Zhengtai’s expression did not change as he said, “I know that this matter is unbelievable, but the truth is as such. After all, the appearance of a late stage martial arts realm cultivator in our Tian Clan’s power iuge matter, not to mention that Wei Lu is not surnamed Tian!”

The meaning behind Tian Zhengtai’s words was obvious. He had even risked the other members of the Tian Clan to explain this matter to Yang Junshan.

The main pillar of the Tian Family, Tian Zheng, currently only had a cultivation at the late stage of the martial arts realm. Wei Lu had also advanced into the late stage of martial arts realm, which was already extremely obvious to the Tian Family.

The reason why he sneaked an attack on Yang Junshan this time, was probably to incite a fight between two of the new clans, and he was lucky enough to benefit from this, but he did not expect Yang Junshan’s strength to reach such an unbelievable level, to actually have the spare energy to kill another cultivator of the same cultivation level after fighting two cultivators of the same cultivation level!

There were all sorts of indications that Tian Zheng Wang was able to gather the forces of the Sandtown in such a short period of time, expel the Prominent Class Sha Family, and become a family that was as new and prosperous as the Western Mountain Madame Yang. Behind them, there was also an enormous force supporting them.

Furthermore, Yang Junshan did not even need to think to know who the power behind the scenes was. Other than the county magistrate court, other than Spiritual Master Chen Ji, Yang Junshan really could not think of any other power in the Mengyu County that would dare to brazenly support a family of the Prominent Class!

Yang Junshan had never felt that there was anything special about him and the Yang family members being able to obtain the affection of a county magistrate, as for their identity as honorary disciples, if they couldn’t even become an official disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, then they could just take as many people as they wanted. In any case, with his identity as the realms of life, casually teaching a small inheritance was enough for a family to treat him as their Master.

Since Spiritual Master Chen Ji was able to raise a Prominent Class family in the Mengyu County to share the pressure to fight against the two tyrants, he could naturally raise a second and a third family. After the collapse of the two tyrants, these newly formed families could still quickly fill in the gap left by the two great tyrants. After all, it was impossible for the county to extend the influence of the Heaven-Shaken Sect into every village.

Or perhaps, the conflict between the two families was what the magistrate wanted to see?

Yang Junshan thought quickly, and looked at Tian Zhengtai who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and laughed coldly: “Oh, you have pushed it clean, but Young Noble Tian has reminded me twice, what should I say?”

Tian Zhengtai shifted his gaze back a little, as if scolding with points. After a slight pause, he said, “Then, Young Master Yang, what should we do?”

had some conjectures regarding Tian Yu’s thoughts. That Wei Lu’s advancement to the late stage of martial arts realm had undoubtedly shocked them, but since the Western Mountain Madame Yang was their future opponent, and Wei Lu had launched a sneak attack on Yang Junshan, naturally, they did not mind having one less powerful enemy in the future. And the two reminders he had given out were actually just to ensure a better balance between the two.

Thinking to this point, Yang Junshan knew that this was not the time for him to lose decorum with the Tian Family. Since the Tian Family also had the shadow of a county magistrate behind them, then Spiritual Master Chen Ji would definitely not allow the two families to fight as they wished.

“In that case, the Tian Family will not participate in the battle for the mines this time around!” Although Yang Junshan’s tone sounded like he was asking for it, in reality, he had rejected it.

Tian Zhengtai’s face changed, Tian Yu who was behind him was just about to struggle forward, but he was stopped, and he said: “Young Master Yang, it was quite difficult, the Tian Family and the Mengyu County’s forces did their best to encircle and annihilate the Xiong Family, one of the Martial Realm Cultivator was dead and one injured, and with Wei Lu added on top of that, it could be considered as having suffered heavy casualties. Young Master Yang’s words to have made us retreat, this is too unreasonable, right?”

Seeing that Yang Junshan was still sneering, Tian Zhengtai clenched his teeth and said: “Alright, we will not take any money from Xiong Family’s cavalry, but we, the Tian Clan, must have a share in this mine!”

It was at this time that Yang Junshan saw Yang Tiezhu and his second brother standing next to him, giving him a meaningful glance.

Yang Junshan laughed at the sky, and then took out an object from the storage bag at his waist. The object was shaped like a disk, with a diameter of about five feet, and after it landed on the ground, following the infusion of spirit energy from Yang Junshan’s body, sounds of explosions could be heard from all around the mine, and then, five rays of colorful light rose up, pulling apart the light screen that was usually used by people in the air, resonating with the disc below Yang Junshan’s feet.

“Formation!”

Tian Zhengtai’s face turned pale as he said in a deep voice, “What a great young master Yang. We shared the information just to buy time for our family members to finish setting up the formation. Good plan, good plan. Our Tian family is not as skilled as you are, so we will take our leave now!”

The Tian Clan people anxiously left the mines, Yang Junshan did not use the array to make things difficult for them, and watched them leave.

Yang Junping walked up from the side and said: “Big bro, we should just show them the colors. This time, letting them go is considered cheap!”

Yang Junshan turned around and looked at the other cultivators who were feeling anxious and worried, and laughed: “Let’s first pacify these people, and divide up the things in the Xiong Clan’s team, since the Tian Clan has already left, we can give them more.”

Yang Junping said excitedly: “No problem, even if we give them more, we will still be left with a lot. With 35 beasts, our Madame Yang’s caravan doesn’t need anyone to pull us, the Ling Tian s should be more or less enough to cultivate us!”

Whether it was the Hunting Horses or the Stupid Cows, they were both considered to be at least level 4 or 5 Mortal Realm after they had matured. Whether it was farming, riding or pulling carts, they were all competent. It was just that these horny students were not easy to tame and had always been lacking something.

“Although the five element formation is successful, it is still only the lowest level of magic, and with such a large area of power dispersing the formation, scaring the cultivators with Mortal Realm is still alright. I still have to hurry up and consolidate the formation, so the rest of the things in the mine will be handed over to you.

After occupying the Town Hall and controlling the mines in the Sunset Ridge, with the fall of the Xiong Family, other than the county government, the Western Mountain Madame Yang could be considered as the person with the greatest benefit.

Although this would make the Xiong Family an enemy that would not rest until it died, the Xiong Family had already been expelled from the Mengyu County, and even if one person could make a comeback, by that time, the Western Mountain Madame Yang would not be a force that the Xiong Family could casually take on!
