"In front of Martial Uncle is the Western Mountain Village." Liu Zhifei respectfully reported to Chen Ji.
"Oh." Adept Chen nodded, then turned and glanced at a female disciple. "How long has it been since you last returned to the village of Xishan. Are you familiar with everything here?"
Xu Jing laughed and said, "Martial Uncle has forgotten that although this disciple came from the Xu family in the distant Tuqiu Village, not long after the West Mountain Village was merged together, the Xu family, under the leadership of Martial Nephew's fiance, moved to the west of the town and created a new village. This disciple has also returned to the village where his clan resides several times, but West Mountain Village has not been in for several years."
Adept Chen nodded, then said, "So that's how it is. The marriage arranged by the clan, have you not finished the marriage?"
Xu Jing embarrassedly smiled and said, "Disciple is still not thinking about this. I just want to use all of my strength to break through the bottleneck and successfully advance to the Adept stage."
Liu Zhifei, who was beside her, secretly curled his lips. Not marrying now, once you advance to the Adept level, the gap between you and your fiance will be even larger. At that time, what you'll consider is not marriage, but cancelling the engagement, right?
However, from the perspective of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, Xu Jing was also one of the seeds that the sect focused on raising in the Mortal Realm. If he could break the shackles from the outside world and advance to the Mortal Realm, he would be able to devote all his energy and effort into cultivating in the sect.
Liu Zhifei interrupted, "Martial Uncle, this time we have been ordered to regulate the conflict between the Yang and Wang Families. I heard that the Wang Clan's newly advanced Mortal Realm Wang Yuan took advantage of the fact that the Yang father and son were not at home to enter the Western Mountain Village. "Could it be that we went too late, and Wang Yuan caused too much trouble, causing the Yang family to suffer too much, and end up getting the jealousy of the Yang family?"
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as the Yang father and son are safe and sound, the Yang family will not fall!" The Yang family's true foundation did not lie in how many family members there were, nor in the village protecting array nor the spiritual vein on the western mountain, but in the Yang family's father and son! "Without these two, what do you think the Yang family would be?"
"Lambs, lambs waiting to be slaughtered!" Liu Zhifei said firmly.
"That's right, he is indeed a lamb!" "But what you said is right, that Wang Yuan has just advanced into the Adept stage, and I'm afraid that he is very satisfied, and those who are pleased with him will easily forget him. If he really does something that will not end well, then I'm afraid that the sect will fail to show their gratitude this time, and instead, stab the father and son of the Yang family in their hearts, so we better hurry up and go to the West Mountain Village and take a look."
When Chen Ji, Liu Zhifei, and Xu Jing, the two Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators, and a peak Martial Disciple cultivator, arrived at the Xishan Village, the silence in the village wasn't like when a hostile Xishan Village cultivator visited them. On the contrary, when the three of them arrived, the villagers looked at them with a trace of strangeness in their eyes.
"The two unknown Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators have arrived, I hope they will come at a time when you are far away!" Han Xiumei brought Yang Xi, Yang Tianlei, Yang Tian Lin and a few other higher status clansmen of the Yang family to the outside of the village to welcome them. At the same time, she smiled at Xu Jing and said, "Isn't this the grandnephew daughter of the Xu family? After so many years of not seeing her for so many years, she seems to soon reach the Mortal Realm.
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Mistress Yang is too kind. This time, I've come because I received a message from a noble family saying that the grandson of the Wang Family from Chenyu County is here to stir up trouble. Is this true?"
Han Xiumei did not answer him directly. Instead, she pointed towards the direction of the village and said, "You three have had a hard time. Please come to the village and serve us some tea!"
As the three of them entered the village, they naturally paid attention to their surroundings. However, aside from the two collapsed houses, the entire Western Mountain Village didn't look like it was devastated by a cultivator.
While the three of them were having their suspicions, Han Xiumei had already led them to the Yang family's living room to serve tea.
Spiritual Master Chen Ji was quite patient. After praising the spiritual tea that the Yang family had planted in their own spiritual garden, he said, "Mistress Yang, I wonder how the matter that I asked about at the village entrance is resolved? I see that your village is safe and sound, and does not seem to have suffered a great loss. "If that is the case, then that is for the best. Both families are the arms of the Heaven Shaking Sect, so if we can work together, that is the fortune of the Heaven Shaking Sect!"
Han Xiumei smiled and said, "Actually, I was about to report this to the Master."
After he said that, he nodded towards Su Bao Zhang who was waiting outside the room: "Bring Wang Yuan here!"
When Daoist Master Chen Ji heard this, his hand that was holding the teacup trembled. She almost spilled the tea in his hand onto the ground. Liu Zhifei and Xu Jing, on the other hand, thought that they had misheard.
What did this Lady Yang say? Bring it up? Bring who up? Wang Yuan? Could it be that Wang Yuan was captured by the Yang Family? How could this be possible? That person was a cultivator in the Rebirth Realm! And right now, the Western Mountain Village only had a group of Martial Disciples.
While the three of them were still in shock, Su Bao Zhang and Yang Tianlei walked into the main hall, holding onto a burned black cultivator whose clothes were tattered and who had his hair standing upright.
Unexpectedly, there might be some kind of restriction on his body that sealed his cultivation, but he directly threw himself onto the ground. He said with an almost sobbing voice, "Chen, Martial Uncle Chen, please, save me. I am Wang Yuan, and my grandfather is Spiritual Master Wang Qian."
"What?"
Spiritual Master Chen Ji suddenly stood up and quickly took two steps forward. He carefully examined the charred face of the person on the ground and said with a face full of astonishment, "He really is Senior Brother Wang's eldest grandson. You, you already advanced into the Dao Realm. How … how could you be in such a sorry state?"
Hearing Chen Ji confirm that this impoverished man in front of them was actually a Zhenren, the eldest grandson of the newly promoted Wang Family, the one who should be high-spirited and proud, Spiritual Master Wang Yuan. Such a huge gap even made Liu Zhifei and Xu Jing unable to react for a moment.
A cultivator of the Spiritual Master Stage could actually be humiliated like this?
Xu Jing was in disbelief, and he even felt a sense of confusion towards the Adept Realm that he had been pursuing. Liu Zhifei, who had just advanced to the Adept Realm, felt an incomparable sadness towards his; Chen Ji, on the other hand, was incomparably angry.
Adept Chen suddenly turned her head, and the aura around her body erupted. She said coldly, "Since the Yang father and son have already returned, why haven't they come out to meet them?"
Other than the Yang father and son, no one else in the Yang family had this ability. In fact, Chen Ji was 80% sure that this matter was caused by Yang Junshan, and Yang Tian was somewhat loyal, but only Yang Tiangang, who could not be seen through, had an extremely shrewd son, Yang Junshan, who was adept at array formations, was able to pull it off.1
How could she withstand the pressure from a veteran Astral Transformation Stage cultivator? However, she still resisted the discomfort and tried her best to say, "I'm afraid that Spiritual Master has misunderstood. My son and my wife have always been outside and have never returned to the clan."
After all, he was in the Yang Family's hall, and he was threatening the wife of the Yang Family. This was equivalent to declaring war on the entire Yang Family, so he hurriedly restrained his imposing aura, and apologized to Han Xiumei, "I was reckless. Lady Yang, please forgive me, but if you don't have a husband or your son, who could capture a cultivator of the Zhenqi stage? Madam, please answer my questions! "
Han Xiumei looked at Wang Yuan who was on the ground and said, "When the two Masters of the Yang family went out, outsiders thought that there was a chance. Wang Yuan thought he could do whatever he wanted, but he didn't know that my son's sworn sister was currently visiting the village.
Spiritual Master Chen Ji's eyelids jumped as he said, "Your son's sworn sister seems to also be a Zhenren stage cultivator. If that's the case, then it's Wang Yuan who got himself into trouble and brought this upon himself." I wonder if this person is still in the Western Mountain Village?
Han Xiumei shook her head and smiled, "Unfortunately, my goddaughter left the village after capturing this man and imprisoning his cultivation."
Chen Ji laughed and said, "Wang Yuan is just too unlucky. He didn't come late to cause trouble and didn't come long ago. Coincidentally, your son's sworn sister, Lady Yang's adopted daughter, only bumped into him when he was here."
Han Xiumei smiled and said, "It's indeed a coincidence."
"Since that's the case, Wang Yuan hasn't brought any trouble to the Yang family. Since I've also received my lesson this time, I will take him away. How about it?"
Han Xiumei said, "Since he was brought here, we naturally have to hand him over to the Heaven Shaking Sect. The Yang family believes that the Heaven Shaking Sect will definitely have a fair ruling on this matter."
"However," Han Xiumei changed her tone and said, "This time, I will use the Heaven Shaking Sect as a witness. From today onwards, we will no longer have any relationship between the fourth sister of the Yang family, Yang Tian Fang and Wang Yuan of the Wang family.
Chen Ji and the others looked at each other, but Wang Yuan did not object. He and Yang Tian Fang pressed a seal on a separate book and invited Chen Ji and the other two Heaven Shaking Sect cultivators to be their partners.
After walking a few miles away, Daoist Master Chen finally released Wang Yuan from his imprisonment. Since Wang Yuan's face had already been swept away from the ground, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer and hastily bowed and thanked the three disciples. He didn't wait for the true essence in his body to recover before leaving in a panic.
Liu Zhifei smiled bitterly and said, "What are we doing here this time?"
The Wang family has obviously set a trap for the Wang family this time, but the Wang family just jumped in so quickly. They all say that the Yang family is a powerful upstart, and Wang Qian is from the Heaven Shaking Sect, so he must be more scheming with his own strength, but this time it seems that the truly scheming family is the Yang family, and this Wang family acting so brazenly is like a parvenu!
Chen Ji said, but in his heart, he was thinking about the cultivator that captured Wang Yuan. What other secrets was this tiny Western Mountain Village hiding? How many cultivators were there in the Yang family?
Several days later, Yang Tian and his son finally returned to the West Mountain Village in Mengyu County, returning a few days later than planned. The reason was that a group of Daoist cultivators had fought against Cao Xun's spatial and barter sources in the Liangyu mountain range, driving away all the beasts within the mountain range and forming an unprecedented beast tide at the southern foot of the Liangyu mountain range.
The Yu Xiao sect and Jade Sword Sect, the two major sects of the Yu Zhou Country, hurriedly used their powers to defend themselves, while the other realms' cultivators, who had been evacuated from the Liang Yu mountain range, were also worried that the beast tide would reach the entire Yu Zhou Country. Yang Tian and his son were invited by the Jade Sword Sect to assist the Adept Fei Lie and the First Successor Disciple, Sage Lingshuang, to protect a city from the beast tide for a few times, after which they returned to the Western Mountain Village with the rare spirit materials that the Jade Sword Sect had gifted them.
