C399 secret passage

After Yang Junshan and Yan Qingxi left with the talisman, they did not agree on where they would meet. The two of them knew that the Ouyang Family had already noticed them, and if they moved together, they would most likely be suspected. Moreover, they had stirred up such a big mess, so naturally the most important thing was to escape.

However, it was clear that Yang Junshan had other plans!

The Heaven Shaking Peak's forbidden formation would cause a huge backlash if a cultivator of the Mortal Realm approached it. Yang Junshan had already reached the Great Circle of the Martial Saint Realm, so he didn't have much time to explore the Heaven Shaking Peak's ruins.

In a shrubbery about forty miles southeast of Hantian Peak, Yang Junshan jumped out of the shrubbery and looked around vigilantly.

It was said that after mastering the Earth Escape Technique, one could at least escape fifty miles underground and still grasp the general direction. Using the Earth Escape Glyph would only allow one to travel thirty miles, and the direction wasn't very good.

Perhaps it was because Yang Junshan had mastered half of the Earth Escape Technique, or perhaps it was because the cultivation technique he was cultivating was the most authentic Earth Elemental Art. Although it was his first time using a talisman, when he appeared from underground, he was already forty miles away.

He even tried to change his direction while he was underground, and it was a success. When he reappeared, he had saved a large portion of his journey to Yu City.

Yang Junshan disguised himself a little and looked around. Then, he returned to Yu City.

At this point, the news of the collapse of the formation outside the Heaven-Shaking Mountain Ruins and the backlash from the battle of the cultivators had yet to spread throughout Yu City, and the news of Yang Junshan and Yan Qingxi being the culprits was naturally not known by anyone.

However, when he returned to Yu City, he did hear some news about the various sects in the cultivation world of the Jade Province after the destruction of the Heaven Shaking Sect.

Before the Heaven Shaking Peak collapsed, the Heaven Shaking Sect's Daoist Master Qing Mu and Daoist Master Qin Cai led the hundred or so Heaven Shaking Sect disciples and suddenly appeared in Yu Cheng. As they fled towards the south, more and more Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators who escaped from Yu Cheng and the Heaven Shaking Peak gathered.

After that, they were attacked by all sorts of fierce beasts. When Spiritual Master Green Tree and the rest of the remaining Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators arrived at Chenyu County, they once again returned to their original size of a hundred people. However, the remaining one hundred people were all extremely loyal to the Heaven Shaking Sect without exception.

When Adept Green Tree led the remnants of the Heaven Shaking Sect to Chenyu County, the three Heaven Shaking Sect members from Jinyu County and Mengyu County didn't come to meet up with them as scheduled.

The Heavenly Wolf Sect of Zhang County and the Opening Spirit Sect of Yao County had once attacked Mengyu County together, trying to snatch the large mixed spirit material raw ore at the border of Mengyu County. Unexpectedly, they were beaten back by the prepared Meng Yu County's Chen Ji Zhenyu County, Jin Yu County's Zhu Zhenren County's Zhu Zhenqing County, and Meng Yu County's Ning Shijie County's powerful patriarch, the four of them.

However, when the news of the Heaven Shaking Peak collapsing spread out, the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect were all panic-stricken. Despite the efforts of the few Adepts from the two counties, quite a few people secretly left the Heaven Shaking Sect.

It was at this moment that Daoist Master Hui Lang and Spiritual Opening Sect Master Yuan Fei, who had just returned from the Heaven Shaking Peak, sent out two more Profound Handles to attack Mengyu County together.

This time, however, the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect, who had received reinforcements, had the upper hand. The azure-clothed Daoist Master had fallen under the control of the Spiritual Master Cheng Shi Ting, while Spiritual Master Cheng Shi Ting had also been severely injured by the green-clothed Daoist Master on his deathbed. As for the other three Spiritual Masters Chen Ji, Ning Shi Jie and Zhu, each of them had injuries on their bodies, so the three Spiritual Masters could only choose to retreat.

However, before the Heaven Shaking Sect retreated, Daoist Master Chen Ji seemed to have predicted this and sent his men to destroy all the mines in the main vein of the Sunset Mountains. If he wanted to restore them, it would take at least two years.

However, right after the Heaven Shaking Sect's cultivators who had been left behind to defend Mengyu and Chenyu counties were forced to retreat, the survivors of the Heaven Shaking Sect who had escaped from the Heaven Shaking Peak entered Chenyu County, there were two sky-shaking battles occurring at the western border of Chenyu County.

Although many people had noticed the commotion caused by the battle, they did not know who was on the two sides. However, after the battle, there was news that the Damascus Seal Faction suddenly entered a state of martial law, and it seemed that a Spirit Gathering cultivator from the Tan Xi Faction did not return from the Heaven Shaking Peak. Soon after, the skirmishes between the two Factions began, becoming more and more intense.

After their respective Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns Lin Xiao and Fei Xiao returned to their respective sects, the two sects quickly announced that they were in closed-door seclusion to break through to the Supreme Astral Realm. As for the neighboring Yu County, Siyu County, they were split up by the two sects.

Lin Prefecture, which was right next to Jia Yu County, had five great sects. Originally, they had received the help of the cultivators from the powerful Bi family in Jia Yu County. This time, the Five Elements Sect would definitely be the biggest beneficiary.

Unfortunately, during the battle at Heaven-Shaking Peak, Daoist Master Bi had fallen. Daoist Master Lou Yuan was severely injured at first, but was then unable to escape from the forbidden formation. The Five Elements Sect suddenly fell from the clouds and became the largest one of the five major sects in the Lin Prefecture.

In the following struggle for Siyu County, the Five Elemental Sects were suppressed by the other four sects. Not only did they fail to share the benefits of Siyu County, they even lost a lot of their own interests in Linlin County and suffered a disastrous decline in their sect's influence.

However, the Jingyang Sect and the Xuan Ji Sect had both suffered losses when the Heaven Shaking Peak collapsed. The Zhuge family was still the head of the three forces in the Lang County and no one dared to offend the Zhuge family on the surface. Huaiyu County was also divided up by the three sects according to the prior agreement.

After hearing about this news in Yu City, Yang Junshan finally understood that when the Heaven Shaking Sect was destroyed, all the great sects of Yuzhou, who seemed to have great power, had actually paid a great price for this.

Of the 30 Adepts that had joined forces to attack the Heaven-Shaking Peak, only three of them had managed to escape. However, of the cultivators from the various sects, three or four had died in the process, and as the formation was activated, the Heaven-Shaking Peak suddenly collapsed, burying another four or five.

It could be said that the price paid by the various factions of the Jade Province's Cultivation World this time around to join hands and annihilate the Heaven Shaking Sect had far exceeded their expectations.

The Sunset Ridge had already been taken over by the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect. Even though the remaining Heaven Shaking Sect forces had joined forces with Chen Ji and the others, the Heaven Shaking Sect, which had gathered six cultivators of the Spiritual Realm, was still quite powerful.

Aside from Spiritual Master Qing Mu, the only other Spiritual Master Zhu of the other five Spiritual Masters to have reached the Astral Reaching Realm, and with the exception of Spiritual Master Qin Cai, the other four Spiritual Masters were all injured. Amongst them, Spiritual Master Chen Ji was the one with the heaviest injuries, making it impossible for him to recover in a short period of time.

After the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect occupied the Sunset Mountains mine, they would continue to move forward into the depths of Mengyu County. The Heaven Shaking Sect, under the overbearing joint attack of the two sects, would still be able to preserve their final resting place, and the Yang Family, who had already taken control of the town, would inevitably be caught in the crisis.0

While Yang Junshan was thinking about the current situation of the Yang family, he was walking slowly on the street of Yu City. He had already arrived near a big manor in the south of the city.

Regarding how Daoist Master Qing Mu had led more than a hundred Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators to flee the Heaven Shaking Peak, many cultivators in the Jade Region had had their own opinions on this matter. However, the Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators had kept their mouths shut about this matter.

It wasn't until many years later that a group of cultivators who had come to the Heaven-Shaking Peak to explore discovered an underground passage in a large manor in the increasingly defeated Yu Cheng City. It was only after many years that a group of cultivators who had come to the Heaven-Shaking Peak to explore had unintentionally discovered an underground passage in a large manor in the increasingly defeated Yu Cheng City.

After the news spread out, the Heaven Shaking Peak that had been under exploration for more than ten years suddenly became lively once more. It had once again become the climax of the search for the Heaven Shaking Peak's Ruins.

After passing through the secret passage, the progress in the exploration of the ruins of the Heaven Shaking Sect was much faster. Because this secret passage went straight to the heart of the Heaven Shaking Peak, the treasures discovered during the exploration were of a much higher grade.

Because this manor belonged to the Ouyang Family, no one had ever come here to investigate it before the Ouyang Family's downfall. And the Ouyang Family didn't even know that Adept Green Tree and the others had actually escaped from their estate in broad daylight.

Yang Junshan walked around the manor and found that there weren't many cultivators of the Ouyang Family guarding the manor. Moreover, the security wasn't very tight, so Yang Junshan leaned against the wall in a corner of the street and blended into the shadows.

In such a short period of time, Yang Junshan wasn't able to successfully cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, but he could at least use some of the simpler spells, such as the three sacred arts of the Earth Escape Technique, Wall Piercing Technique, and Fossils.

Inside the manor, Yang Junshan broke free from the wall. With his current strength, as long as he wasn't a cultivator of the Mortal Realm personally taking action, it would be difficult for him to detect Yang Junshan.

After easily avoiding the Ouyang Family cultivators guarding the manor, Yang Junshan quickly arrived in front of a fake mountain in the middle of the backyard.
