Chapter 453 – Guilds

Meteors of various sizes continued to appear in the sky for two days. The world was filled with muffled rumbling sounds as if the end of the world had arrived.

Fortunately, after the village protection formation had slowly recovered, it finally protected the entire village again. Even though it was only for a few short days, the sense of security it brought gave the Xishan Village felt like it had not been there for a long time.

Yang Junshan was supposed to be at the top of the Western Mountain, but news of Mengyu County still continued to reach his hands.

Hu Niu and Bao Yuer had received news that the beasts of the Wasteland Town were migrating towards the Sandtown. According to Hu Niu, there might be a Spiritual Demons in the Sandtown.

This made Yang Junshan involuntarily think of the mountain which had been collapsed by a meteor in the direction of the Sandtown two days ago, as well as that explosive roar that seemed to have spread throughout the entire Mengyu County.

It had always been occupied by the Opening Spirit School, as it waassage for the Opening Spirit School to invade the Mengyu County. Now that there was a Spiritual Demons here, it was likely that the real people of the Opening Spirit School would not be indifferent to it.

In reality, the spies from the Sandtown had quickly spread the news that the demonic beasts in the wilderness had become abnormally fierce. They had been wandering around in groups, causing a lot of casualties among the lone cultivators.

Then there was news about the Wasteland Town. Little sister Yang Junxin had found two different Spirit Source Lands in two remote areas of the Wasteland Town, which made her extremely surprised, because all of these places had been investigated by her before, and she clearly did not have any traces of Spirit Qi on them. If Yang Junshan did not remind her, she would not even think of walking past this place.

At this time, Yang Junxin’s attainment in the Spirit Searching Technique had already surpassed Lin Chengsi’s, but her teacher had already become her assistant.

Yang Junxin had already placed the two Spiritual Beads along with the supporting array formation at the two places, and in about a year’s time, the two Spiritual Beads would absorb all of the two places, and transform itself into two Origin Spirit Beads.

Hearing that his little sister had indeed found two places with Spirit Sources, Yang Junshan was excited, but also a little regretful. Originally, the Spirit Spring Water in the belly of the West Mountain had already absorbed eight Spirit Origin Pearls, if he added these two together, a Spirit Vein might already be born in the West Mountain.

However, during Yang Junshan’s two years of closed door cultivation, because he was rushing for the realms of life s, he had no choice but to extract too much spirit energy from the Spirit Spring Water, and even the village protection formation s had to stop for a while, causing the Spirit Spring Water to suffer damage. The Spirit Spring Water that was originally equivalent to fusing with eight Spirit Origin Pearls could only supply seven times the amount of spirit energy in the Spirit Spring Land.

In other words, even if he added in the two places that she found, the Xishan Village was still a little short of being able to form a spirit vein.

Because the spiritual vein produced several times purer spiritual energy than the spiritual origin, and the spiritual energy supplied by the spiritual origin was a lot more complex. In the process of cultivation, absorbing this spiritual energy would require a great deal of effort to filter and purify this spiritual energy, however, after being able to refine it and store it for one’s own use, the cultivation efficiency would naturally be a lot slower.

Not only had the Spirit Origin suffered Yang Junshan’s excessive absorption, in the past two years, in order to break through the realms of life, Madame Yang had used up more than a third of all the high grade cultivation resources that he had stored in the treasury all these years.

Other than all sorts of high level pellets, due to the lack of spiritual energy in the area, Yang Junshan had no choice but to use up a large amount of Jade Coinnd crystal coins to replenish his energy, almost half of it was used up. And that was not the end, as Yang Junshan still needed to use up a large amount of cultivation resources to consolidate his cultivation, he predicted that when he could finally stabilize his cultivation and come out, the Yang family’s reserves would be depleted by at least half.

Three days later, just as Yang Junshan was meditating and cultivating to stabilize the Nine Toughness True Handle that was born in his dantian, he suddenly felt an enormous aura fluctuating and moving rapidly towards the direction of the Xishan Village.

Yang Junshan suddenly jumped up from the ground, and in a flash, he was already at the top of the western mountain peak. The fog soared and a ray of light stealthily passed through the village protection formation and landed, and the pale Yang Tiangang appeared at the mountain peak. In the instant he looked at Yang Junshan, a surprised and gratified look surfaced on his face, and then, his face flushed red.

Lao Yang’s injuries were severe, but it was fine as long as he could return!

Yang Junshan was slightly relieved, and placed Lao Yang in the Spirit Spring Room to train to recuperate. Furthermore, he had already heard from Lao Yang, who had awoken, about everything that had happened in the Hidden Sky Ruins, as well as how he managed to escape.

The reason was very simple. Lao Yang’s body contained the Qi of the witch clan which was unique to the Witch clan, and the power of the witch clan’s resentment could not only be used to kill people, it could also be used to differentiate friend and foe. Furthermore, the aura of the witch clan which was on Lao Yang’s body showed that he was a friend of the Witch clan!

The Witch clan was a strange race. They loved to fight, and their methods were vicious and murderous, but they valued loyalty and righteousness. They would not hesitate to risk their lives to defend the people they approved of.

They were also paranoid, there were many similarities between the Witch race and the Demon race, they loved to kill, and their methods were ruthless, but the Witch race’s paranoid nature gave off a kind of ‘stupid’ feeling, just like that Witch Clan cultivator. If he, Yang Junshan, faced with a siege, he could choose to ignore it, but he just had to save his, or even almost lose his life.

Demonic Cultivator’s paranoia was a selfishness that was extremely “smart”. They would not put themselves in danger, and even more so would not take risks when they knew of the danger, even if they were close relatives in front of them.

This Witch Clan cultivator originally wanted to take part in the attack on Lao Yang, but when he discovered that there was something wrong with his aura, this Witch Clan cultivator tried to work with Lao Yang to rescue him. Even so, Lao Yang was still severely injured from all the attacks from the Alien Cultivator, and after escaping from the Hidden Sky Ruins, he had persisted until the end of his days to return to Xishan Village.

Instead, he had become Lao Yang’s savior in the end, and Yang Junshan also didn’t think that the friendship he had with Wu Shuo and Jiu Li would indirectly become the reason for Lao Yang’s rescue.

Chenyu County Wang family, the enemy that stole the Madame Yang’s ancestral home and killed the two most senior members of the Yang family. This time, the enmity between the two families was even stronger, it was just like the so-called old and new enmity, although Yang Junshan’s face was calm, in her heart, countless of thoughts flashed, this enmity, she had to avenge the Wang family!

However, Lao Yang was heavily surrounded in the Buried Sky Ruins. Looking at the situation at that time, it was already certain that he would fall, so what attitude would the Heaven-Shaken Sect have towards the Yang family take next? Yang Junshan could not help but feel a bit of interest, and even some anticipation.

Yang Tiangang’s return was soundless, and in the entire Xishan Village, other than Yang Junshan, no one knew that he had returned, nor did they know that he was severely injured.

But just at that moment, Yang Tiangang suddenly raised his head and looked towards the east, his heart sneering, he truly could not endure anymore, could it be that he could not wait any longer?

Just as Yang Junshan was about to go down the mountain, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped walking and waited quietly.

Sure enough, a moment later, a Message Talisman tore apart the obstruction of the fog and Yang Junping’s violent voice that carried a weeping tone came out from within: “Brother, Song Wei said that father’s loss in Buried Sky Ruins is disastrous!”

Yang Junshan took in a deep breath, and a mixture of shock and anger appeared on his face. After that, he madly sprinted towards the foot of the western mountain, and everything along his way was completely destroyed by the astral energy around him that he still could not completely control.

“… ….” My Heaven-Shaken Sect is deeply regretful. At that time, the three of us in the Heaven-Shaken Sect had already tried our best to save him, but unfortunately, the situation was abnormally dangerous and a large number of enemies heavily besieged Taoist Yang. In the end, we were unable to save him … ”

“My dad won’t die, you’re lying!” It was unknown when Yang Junxin had already returned to the village, but after hearing this news, she was the first to cry out.

“Miss Yang, I know that this is very hard to believe, but the truth is, Taoist Yang is indeed trapped in the enemy’s encirclement, I am truly sorry, but one of the responsibilities is also my Heaven-Shaken Sect. If it wasn’t for the urgent matter at that time, we wouldn’t have let Taoist Yang take charge of this matter, and he wouldn’t have ended up in the encirclement.”

The Yang family members started to cry in a low voice in the hall. A family that had just gained a real person was preparing forosperous future, but in the blink of an eye, the family’s pillar that could hold up the sky fell. The fear brought about by this huge gap made everyone in the Yang family to feel incredulous, but they all became at a loss as they felt lifeless.

Yang Junping really wanted to ask loudly why his own father would be surrounded, and not someone from the Heaven-Shaken Sect. He even suspected that there was something behind this, but he didn’t dare to openly question the person in front of him right now.

It was not only because the person in front of him represented the Heaven-Shaken Sect, nor was it because he was a Adept Realm Cultivator. It was also because the Yang family, which no longer had any cultivators overseeing them, no longer had the qualifications to question a Adept Realm Cultivator.

At this time, Song Wei would probably be a little courteous to the Yang Family because of his guilt. If the Yang Family did not recognize the situation their family was in and recklessly questioned them, or even angered Song Wei, then the Yang Family would probably suffer an even more severe blow.

Yang Junping started to peek outside the door from time to time. If his father really was going to fall, the Yang Family would probably reach a life or death situation. How would his brother react after receiving the news?
