Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 322 – Meng

Even when the Yuzhou’s cultivation world was prepared, the losses caused by the giant locust’s attack this time had far surpassed everyone’s expectations. This had led to the conflict between the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Sirius Gate and the Sirius Gate, which were initially at loggerheads in the southern part of the Yuzhou.

The locust swarm did not cause much damage to the Xishan Village, but looking at the scene of the swarm of locusts covering the entire sky outside the village protection formation, it made everyone’s scalp tingle.

Although it was unable to shake the protection of the magnetic light Formation, every day, the cost of operating the formation had more than doubled. Furthermore, with sucuge array running smoothly, there was no way for it to be watertight.

Although the majority of the Martial Realm Cultivatoad been sent out, Xu Sanniang, Blacksmith Zhang, Shi Nansheng and the rest of the Martial Realm Cultivator s did not dare to relax their guard. These locusts would usually be destroyed the moment they barged into the village.

During this period of time, Xishan Village had sent oueam to destroy the locusts, led by Martial Realm Cultivator. They had gone deep into the various villages in Wasteland Town to assist them in fighting the locust swarm, but they had won a lot of prestige for Yang family.

At the same time, rumors of Xishan Village seeking the Wasteland Town’s Prominent Class spread throughout the villages, and some people in the entire Mengyu County had heard of this matter.

There were also people who asked Xishan Village’s Extermination Squad’s Martial Realm Cultivator for confirmation on this matter. However, these people would usually not reply with a smile, as if they had already agreed to this matter. It seemed like they already did not hide their ambitions.

But regarding this matter, although most of the citizens of the Wasteland Town did not clap and praise him, they were not too against it. Most of them stood on the neutral ground, but to the Yang family, this attitude was enough.

and the disciples of the Yang family were standing at the edge of the woods, looking at the faint buzzing sound coming from the forest. From time to time, one or two giant locust s would reveal their bodies, and they were all twice the size of the normal giant locust s.

“Good boy, the giant locust hiding here should be around a foot big, and that’s only the insect king’s locust guard. How big is the real insect king? It’s much bigger than the locust guard that was brought to us and killed on the western mountain back then!” Yang Qianhai said in shock.

An Xia’s face did not look good, she turned and asked: “What’s the situation in Tu Meng Village, have you finished setting up the ‘Jin’ array disc that Little Shan handed to you?”

“It’s already been set up,” Yang Qianhai’s face revealed a look of hesitation, and said: “Only, this formation has a very miraculous effect on killing locusts, do you really want me to teach it to others?”

An Xia’s face revealed a look of regret, and she sighed: “The news of Xishan Village having this array has already spread out, we cannot protect this array, rather than letting someone force us when we are at it, we might as well take it out now. Although the array is simple, and is easy to be copied, it’s enough for us to earn a lot of Jade Coins s in a short amount of time!”

“Sigh, that’s true. Although we’ve been sending out quite a few array discs recently, there are still quite a few people coming to purchase!”

“Alright, let’s talk about this later. Let’s first eliminate the insect king hiding in the forest. This way, the locust plague in Earth Meng Village can be greatly reduced!”

Even though Yang Qianhai stopped smiling, he still muttered: “These locusts are everywhere. Even if we destroy this insect king, who knows if there will be another tomorrow. This is way more scale than the giant locust disaster back then!”

Under the guidance of a few cultivators from Xishan Village, they laid down a few array formations on a few important Ling Tian s and pastures in the village. When those horrendous locusts passed over the area covered by the array, it was as if they were suddenly pressed down by a heavy object from behind, and instantly fell to the ground, struggling randomly. As for the villagers who were waiting in the surroundings, they simply pulled a huge stone wheel and crushed them down.

This was the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of the Tu Meng Village. He had just advanced to the martial arts realm last year and was normally regarded highly by the Meng Shan.

Meng Shan turned his head and glanced at him, then asked: “Have you learned the method to arrange the formation?”

Meng Yu’s face revealed a hint of joy, and said: “Second Uncle, don’t worry, the array setup was not difficult, and it was recorded in your nephew’s mind. This time, the Xishan Village Yang family’s people were kind, and taught them in detail.”

A trace of ridicule flashed across Meng Shan’s face, and he sneered: “Do you think that the Yang family members are that kind? Do you really think that you have learnt the art of setting up formations? “The Dao of array formations is vast and profound. All you people have learned is the method of setting up array discs, that’s all. Do any of you know the true details of that array formation?”

Seeing the look of astonishment on Meng Yu’s face, Meng Shan explained: Those array discs are all one-time use tools and can’t be used repeatedly. It seems like the giant locust disaster will not be resolved in a short period of time, once these formation discs are destroyed and the array formation knows the benefits of resisting the locust plague, what will you do?

“Of course to go to Xishan Village to buy new formation plates.”

After saying that, Meng Yu suddenly said, “Second Uncle, are you saying that the Yang Family will take this opportunity to raise the price and make a fortune?”

Meng Shan sighed: To raise the price is not necessary, Yang family has always wanted a lot, it would not ruin his own reputation at this time, but to make a fortune, according to what I know, the formation called ‘One Jin’ is not very difficult, it is just a cheap trick, thus, the formation plates and tools are extremely simple, the cost is very low, and they can be mass-produced, so even if the price is not high, the total amount is still very high.

“Right now, there are already many villages rushing to the Xishan Village to purchase the ready-made array discs, and there are also many people from other towns and villages. All these years, Yang Tiangang has seized every opportunity to strengthen the Yang family, it is truly inconceivable.

At this time, Meng Yu also seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice: “Second Uncle, I heard that Yang family is going to become the’s Prominent Class, then Yang Tiangang will also become the Wasteland Town’s guard. If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean he’s going to steal Second Uncle’s position?”

The Meng Shan looked at him and said: “This is not a secret, possessing general control over a small town is one of the basic requirements of a Prominent Class. If the Yang family wants to become a Prominent Class, then guarding the position is something that Yang Tiangang must have!”

“Then …” Meng Yu felt that his mood was very strange. It was as if he should feel angry at this moment.

At that time when I, your second uncle, was protecting this Wasteland Town, I was already somewhat surprised. With the strength of my Meng Village’s Meng Village’s Meng Family and your second uncle’s cultivation, if not for Yang Tiangang’s help, I am afraid that no one would have placed us in their eyes! ”

“On this point, Yang Tiangang has done his best, the Yang Family has taken action many times, and we have all gained benefits from following them. As the saying goes, one can only take advantage of a person to win his mouth, and now that we think about it, Yang Tiangang had probably been arranging for the rise of the Yang family ever since, and the benefits of coming to our doorstep is to protect our position today.”

Meng Yu was completely shocked by what his uncle had said. He could not help but say: “That Yang Tiangang is really scheming something, but what should we do? Is Second Uncle giving up the position of guardian?”

“Foolish!”

The Meng Shan pointed at Meng Yu and lectured: “Do you think that it’s easy to deal with him, Yang Tiangang? Do you remember what I said before? Don’t you think it’s strange that Yang family’s schemes for all these years were like foresight? When the two villages of Tu Qiu and Tu Shi merged back then, the Xiong and Yu Clan of the Three Great Heroes supported Shi Jiutong becoming the Village Head. In the end, however, it all ended up in Yang Tiangang’s hands. ”

Meng Yu naturally knew what had happened and said, “Second Uncle, do you mean that the backers of the Yang family are the county magistrate?”

The Meng Shan snorted coldly, and said: “Otherwise, why do you think that he, Yang Tiangang, a rootless duckweed who has left his family, would be able to establish such a large family business in the Xishan Village?”

The Meng Shan paused for a moment, then said: “This time, the battle of the three great protectors at the border, I am afraid that with the great victory of County Official Chen, I will increase the speed of the differentiation and suppression of the three great tyrants. This supporting small families to destroy the three great powerhouses’ influence in the Mengyu County is one of the methods that the County Magistrate Chen uses, the reason for the Madame Yang’s rise in power is to catch up to County Official Chen’s blade, but in order to make this blade work, County Commander Chen has to take out some benefits first, to sharpen this blade a little bit sharper!”

Meng Yu said with an “ah” sound, “Then doesn’t that mean that his Yang family will benefit, then our Meng Family...”

Meng Shan waved his hand to interrupt Meng Yu, and said: “Don’t forget, the three great warriors have been in operation in this county for hundreds of years, although the Chen County Magistrate is powerful now, but the strong dragon cannot suppress the snake, his Madame Yang is powerful foime, but she also risks the destruction of his family. He has more than ten Martial Realm Cultivator, and Yang Tiangang is also an expert at the fourth stage of martial arts realm, our Meng family is only big now, and you are also not more than three Martial Realm Cultivator.

Meng Yu nodded excitedly and said excitedly: “Don’t worry second uncle, I will definitely work hard to cultivate. My Meng family’s future will definitely not be any worse than Yang family’s!”

Meng Shan nodded his head in satisfaction, and said: “Good job, my Meng Family needs to have this kind of determination. You can go first, remember to guard the best Ling Tian in the village well!”

Watching his nephew leave confidently, Meng Shan suddenly thought of Yang Tiangang’s son. He could not help but laugh bitterly and muttered: “He is not worse than Yang family, heh!”

One of the biggest locust kings had a body size of almost one foot five. However, at this time, An Xia had already dismembered its corpse, and only had two hard looking mandibles left in its hands. It was a little funny as it said: “A pair of low grade immortal spirits, but where does this item go to be used? Do you know whether or not it’s a cultivator with two front teeth?”
