Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 160 – Xiong Yu

The previous owner of the Dream Beauty Guard was the Heaven-Shaken Sect Dao Soldier Array Heaven Shaking Formation. The Heaven Shaking Guards of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were each formed of nine cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm, forming a small Heaven Shaking Formation. It was said that they could fight against cultivators at the second level of the realms of life if they joined hands.

Furthermore, every nine guards had a total of eighty-one cultivators at the late stage of the martial arts realm working together to set up a complete Heaven Shaking Formation. Legend has it that they were able to take on cultivators at the fifth stage of the realms of life head on and did not lose out, but this was only a legend, and no one knew if it was true or false, and even the people of the Yuxian believed that it was an exaggeration.

This Heaven Shaking Formation was taught to the various counties of Yuxian through modifications made by the Dao Soldier Array Grandmasters of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Although the power of the Great Dao Soldier Formation had weakened, it had at the same time lowered its threshold. In the past, it could only be practiced by cultivators at the late stage of martial arts realm.

The inner and outer disciples of the Martial Realm Cultivator s were selected from the courtyards and practiced, thus forming the deterring force of the Heaven-Shaken Sect s in the counties. At the same time, the Dao Guards were named after the names of the counties, the Mengyu County s were called the Dreamy Cloud Guards, the Jinyu County s were called the Jinyi Guards, and the Chenyu County s were naturally the Morning Jade Guards.

The power of the formations depended on the strength of the nine cultivators. Normally, among the nine people, they only required three late stage martial arts realm, three mid stage martial arts realm, and three early stage martial arts realm to form a formation that could block the attacks of the first stage of the realms of life. Of course, this was only if they were defending and not attacking.

According to the rules of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, there werotal of six counties under the jurisdiction of the Yuxian, and each county had a total of three guards for a total of twenty-seven Dao soldiers. According to the power of the array, the twenty-seven Dao soldiers could simultaneously form a large formation, and even if all twenty-seven of them were early stage Spirit Intermediate Cultivators, they could still be used to suppress a cultivator of the early stage of the realms of life.

Thus, every time a county magistrate took office, the most important task was to capture the Three Protectors Dao-soldiers in the courtyard firmly. With these three guards in hand, coupled with the fact that the county magistrate was also a cultivator witealms of life, then there would be sufficient power to suppress all the clans and powers in the counties.

Even to the extent that in times of crisis, an early stage realms of life magistrate personally presided over the Great Way of the Dao-Soldiers, so even if it was againshird stage realms of life cultivator, there was no need to fear.

The Mengyu County had caused Spiritual Master Chen Ji to appear unmoved on the surface, but in reality, from the start, Spiritual Master Chen Ji had entered the courtyard and captured the three guards tightly in his hands. He then carefully cleaned the twenty-seven people, revealing the backs of the Mengyu County’s three strongest warriors. Scenic, all use various reasons, excuses to carry out the selection and transfer.

At the same time, these twenty-seven people were also strengthened. Some of them whose cultivation base had not improved in the past few years were also converted to higher cultivation bases or those with greater potential. They were trained in the Dao-Soldier Formation day and night, causing these twenty-seven Dream Guards’ strength to increase greatly.

It was precisely because of this that even though Spiritual Master Chen Ji seemed to be doing nothing in the Mengyu County, the three great tyrants of the Mengyu County and the various great families did not dare to lower their guard against the county magistrate in the slightest. Although last time they had borrowed the power of the Adept Zhu’s presence and power from Spiritual Master Wang Qian and the Jinyu County’s presence in the Chenyu County, the three great tyrants had still not shown their strength to the Heaven-Shaken Sect and had also attempted to show goodwill to the at the same time.

The man was shocked when he heard that his teacher wanted him to bring a guard of the Dream Yoga, but he was puzzled when his teacher said, “This disciple is retarded. Please tell me, how can I ‘administer justice’?”

The old man laughed: “The Spirit Origin realm is not a small matter in Mengyu County. Since the Great Cauldron Hall received the news, the other two tyrants have also been working in the Mengyu County for a long time, how could they not know about it? Since they already knew, would they allow the Xiong Family to take all the benefits? I’m afraid that this little Tuqiu Village will have some fun to watch tomorrow. ”

As if the man had understood something, he smiled and asked, “Then in teacher’s opinion, how will this Spiritual Source be settled in the end?”

The old man looked at him, then said: “That will depend on whether I see wrongly this Tuqiu Village, or not, will depend on your own ability.”

The man carried a hint of surprise and said: “Disciple does understand what teacher means, it is just that Tuqiu Village’s Teacher Yang Tiangang seems to be rather familiar with this person, could it be that this person is a spy laid down by teacher?”

The old man laughed and said, “Not at all. It’s only because his son was once taught to me by me. He was accepted by me as an honorary disciple.”

The man was suddenly enlightened, then he said with great respect, “Teacher’s vision is deep, disciple is not as good as you think.”

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Tiangang and a few other Martial Realm Cultivator brought a group of village elders of high standing to wait at the southern entrance of the village. Although the entire Tuqiu Village felt that it was a great pity that they had bestowed the Spirit Source Land to the Xiong Family, but they did not forget that the Xiong Family was the strongest in the entire Mengyu County.

“Eh? Why isn’t the third wife of the Xu family here yet?”

Most of the villagers had gathered, but Xu Sanniang had disappeared from the Xu family’s crowd, so the rest of the villagers could not help but whisper amongst themselves.

These discussions naturally couldn’t be hidden from Yang Tiangang, who inadvertently turned to look at Blacksmith Zhang, only to see that Blacksmith Zhang’s gaze just happened to land on him.

“Sanniang, if you have any orders, please do not hesitate to tell me.”

Xu Erchen came out from nowhere, and stood amongst the Xu family members while smiling at Yang Tiangang, the aura of martial arts realm around him surged like a demonstration towards Tuqiu Village.

Although the news of Xu Erchen advancing to the martial arts realm had already spread throughout the entire Tuqiu Village yesterday, everyone couldn’t help but be shaken when they saw the true level of Xu Erchen’s martial arts realm. After all, there were very few Martial Realm Cultivator in the village and currently, Xu Erchen had only advanced to the fifth rank in the entire Tuqiu Village.

Everyone had different expressions, but most of them still revealed happy expressions. After all, there was one more Martial Realm Cultivator, so the strength of the Tuqiu Village would also increase by a level.

Yang Tiangang saw that when Xu Erchen said this, the expressions of the people of the Xu family were extremely complicated, they laughed coldly without leaving a trace, and said: “Oh, there are no orders, just wait!”

Just as the sun rose, the people of Tuqiu Village did not have time to wait for the cultivators of Xiong Family to arrive, but on the other side of the river, a commotion could be heard. A group of people led by Village Head Shi Jiutong were heading towards Tuqiu Village.

“Haha, Brother Yang, congratulations. I heard that your village actually found a place with a spirit source. It’s worth celebrating!” Shi Jiutong congratulated Yang Tiangang loudly when he saw him from afar, but he could not hide the ridicule and complacency in his expression.

This Shi Jiutong originally only had the cultivation of the second stage of the martial arts realm. Perhaps it was because of the stimulation from Yang Tiangang a few years ago, during these two years of hard work, he had already reached the peak of turbid energy. Later on, he had even obtained the assistance of the Xiong Family s, allowing him to break through the bottleneck of the second stage.

Accompanied by this Shi Jiutong, other than Shi Nansheng, who had reached the second stage of the martial arts realm, and another Martial Realm Cultivator from Stone Village, two other Martial Realm Cultivator s, who were unfamiliar with each other, traveled towards the Tuqiu Village among the village names.

These two unfamiliar Martial Realm Cultivatoad the second stage of cultivation, they should be the leaders of Xiong Family’s tenants who had disguised themselves as landless tenants to be taken in by the Earth Stone Village.

Where in the Mengyu County did Martial Realm Cultivator becomenants of a commoner? A discerning person would be able to tell the ins and outs of this place, but this also showed the boldness of the Xiong Family. I am openly bullying you, what can you do?

Yang Tiangang did not react, and said: “When we found the spirit source, it was at my Tuqiu Village’s own home, what does it have to do with you? Village Head Shi brought people here with such fanfare, could it be to demonstrate their strength, or to try to steal the location of the Spirit Origin Stage? ”

Shi Jiutong laughed and said: “Brother Yang is joking, and that Spirit Origin is now in your Tuqiu Village’s pockets, I, Shi Lao Jiu, might be envious, but I do not have the guts to snatch it from your Xiong Family’s hands. How could I be like you, brother Yang, who even dares to beat someone from Xiong Family?”

Saying that, Shi Jiutong’s face became gloomy, and continued: Forget about the people from Xiong Family, when the time comes, they will find you to settle the score, but why did they beat up more than ten children from Tuqiu Village yesterday? Furthermore, you suffered such heavy injuries, do you really think that the people of my Earth Stone Village are easy to bully? ”

It was as if Yang Tiangang had heard something funny, and said curiously: “That’s strange, I didn’t ask Village Head Shi about the crimes, but Village Head Shi came back to beat the crap out of him. Since that’s the case, I dare to ask Village Head Shi about the fight yesterday, how many children are there in your village, and how many children do we have?”

Shi Jiutong’s face immediately flushed red. A group of over twenty people from the Earth Stone Village had besieged Yang Junping and the others. Not only did they not gain an advantage, they were beaten to the point of crying for their parents.

Seeing that, Shi Jiutong immediately changed the topic and said: “Hehe, it is all a matter of children, so this Village Head is too lazy to bother anymore, and only reminded Yang Cunzheng to control his own children more in the future. This time, this Village Head brought the villagers here, firstly, to witness the grand event of the spirit source being handed over to Xiong Family.

While Shi Jiutong talked about the matters of the village, a majority of the people of the Earth Village behind him had passionate looks on their faces. On the other hand, most of the Tuqiu Village had angry and disdainful expressions.

That Shi Jiutong laughed complacently, and said: “What I want to inform Yang Cunzheng is, when I received the news this morning from the county city, the county magistrate Chen Ji had already promised me that we would join the village, but after the two inches are combined, the position of Village Head, hehe, this time is the perfect timing to send someone over. Xiong Family is the strongest in the entire county, and is a suitable candidate to witneswo inch merger.

Hearing that the matters of the village had already been approved by the County Magistrate, indignation and indignation filled the mound. Everyone whispered to each other and many people with impatient personalities even began to curse.

At this time, there were seven to eight beams of light flying towards Tuqiu Village from the horizon.

“The people from Xiong Family are here!”

It was unknown who shouted, but the people from the two villages all looked towards the direction of the light.

After a while, the light had already reached the sky above the Tuqiu Village. Before the person had even landed from the light, the peerless imposing aura had already landed on the ground. The faces of the hundreds of villagers in the two villages all became pale.

As the light scattered, Wangqiu Town who was guarding the Xiong Man Shan descended first, and then six more people descended, a total of seven people, all of them having martial arts realm cultivation, other than two early stage martial arts realm cultivators who were dressed in servant’s clothes, which were at the back of the group, and the three in the front, who were all at the third stage of martial arts realm like the Xiong Man Shan, and the two in the front, other than Xiong Man Shan who was a direct descendant of the Xiong Family, an old man in his fifties who was slightly behind him, had a stern aura, and was impressively a cultivator at the fifth stage of martial arts realm.

He was even a servant of the martial arts realm, and was indeed worthy of being the strongest person in the county. Most of the villagers, for the first time in their lives, had seen an expert of the fifth stage of the martial arts realm, and all of them sighed in their hearts, this trip was not in vain.

“Haha, sorry to bother Yang Cunzheng so long, I’m sorry!”

Xiong Man Shan said that he was sorry, but his expression did not contain the slightest of regret. His expression changed to look at Shi Jiutong who was beside him, and he said: “Hey, is Village Head Shi also here?”

Shi Jiutong immediately smiled apologetically: I have seen San Ye, but I heard that San Ye is bringing people to take over this spirit land, and it just so happens that Master Liu has approved of the two sects and two villages joining hands, so I am thinking, and that, for our two villages, this iuge matter, and it just so happens that San Ye has come, you have a lot of face, so it is very suitable for you to witness the merging of our two villages!

The Xiong Man Shan heard and laughed, then said: “Village Head Shi is actually quite good at scheming, you are the deputy guard of this Wasteland Town, and also the Village Head of this village. The two villages combined should be your responsibility, but, you are the deputy guardian after all, and the Wasteland Town’s matters are numerous, so your mind should not focus on the merged village. It just so happens that Yang Cunzheng has great experience in managing the village, and you can be a deputy Village Head Shi, and help you manage the village well.

When Shi Jiutong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but he humbly replied: “No, no, guarding a bear is just too much. I’m still shallow, I’m afraid that when the time comes, Yang Cunzheng will be more suitable!”

Xiong Man Shan glanced at Yang Tiangang, and said: “Hey, Vice Commander Shi, don’t look down on yourself, you and Yang Cunzheng are all elites of the time, it’ity that Yang Cunzheng has only been a Village Head for a few years, and his qualifications is not as deep as yours, so what do you think, Yang Cunzheng?”

Seeing how the Xiong Man Shan was clearly biased towards Shi Jiutong, all the Tuqiu Village s drooped their heads in dejection. After the village event had become inevitable, and even the Village Head s after Yang Tiangang joined the village had become extravagant hopes, the villagers of Tuqiu Village had clearly lost their confidence.

In the face of Xiong Man Shan forcing him to express his stance, Yang Tiangang merely smiled calmly, and said: “Guardian Xiong, you should inspect the spirit source grounds first!”

Xiong Man Shan’s face revealed an unhappy expression, the gaze of the fifty year old man beside him was likhorn, he looked at Yang Tiangang and Yang Tiangang’s face instantly turned pale white, but he managed to maintain his smile.

The Xiong Man Shan snorted and signaled the fifty year old man beside him: “That’s fine, the one behind me is my Xiong Family’s External Affairs Attendant, Old Master Xiong Chi. He will be in charge of this Spirit Origin transfer.”

The steward Xiong Jingzhong took a step forward and said: “I have been entrusted by Master San to handle the ownership of this Spirit Source Land. According to the rules, I shall first go to the Spirit Origin Area to investigate and find out.

From beginning to end, Yang Tiangang’s expression remained calm, as if he accepted his fate. Hearing that, he nodded his head and followed behind the old man, and immediately, Blacksmith Zhang followed him. Xu Erchen from the Xu family thought about it, but under the gaze of the people from the Xu family, he did not take a step, and a few people followed him.

Seeing that no one had stepped forward, Xiong Chi nodded his head and waved towards one of the two Martial Realm Cultivator s who were dressed in servant robes. The person who walked up quickly was actually the Xiong Wu Jin that Yang Tiangang had put down yesterday.

In just a day’s time, this seven kilograms of leg bone was able to walk again. Only the little finger on his left hand was unable to recover.

The bear seven kilograms walked to Yang Tiangang’s front, the malevolence on its face fleeting. The way it looked at Yang Tiangang, however, it did not conceal the venom in its eyes.

“This is my Xiong Family, I think Yang Cunzheng has already seen it, let’s go!”

Yang Tiangang nodded his head, just as they were about to head towards the pomegranate forest, a voice suddenly came from far away, and then exploded out above Tuqiu Village: “Wait!”

Xiong Man Shan, who was just sitting on the mount offered by Shi Jiutong, suddenly sprung up from his seat and said: “Yu Zelin, who was it? Who informed the Yu Family?”

Xiong Jingzhong, who was about to bring Yang Tiangang and the rest up the mountain, suddenly turned around. Hearing the Xiong Man Shan’s roar, he shouted: “Master San, calm down!”

A few more beams of light descended from the sky. The leader, a cultivator in his thirties with a jade-like face and shining eyes, had the cultivation of the fourth stage of the martial arts realm and was able to suppress the Xiong Man Shan.

“Yu Zelin, what are you doing here?” Xiong Man Shan snorted coldly.
