The majority of the Xiong Family members were killed, only a small portion of them escaped into the forest. Most of them were Martial Disciples, so it became extremely difficult to chase them down.
However, no one dared to touch the wealth left behind by the Xiong Family. Everyone, including the Western Mountain Yang Family clansmen, cast their eyes towards the young man from the Western Mountain Yang Family standing in the center of the mining field.
At the same time, Yang Junshan was staring at a young man who was standing about a hundred meters away with a faint smile on his face. That young man's face suddenly turned pale!
"The Eldest Young Master, Tian Yu, who was guarding the fields in Sandstorm Town?"
The Yang father and son naturally cared a lot about the Rage Sand Town Tian Clan that had risen to power in Mengyu County like the Yang Clan of the West Mountain. Therefore, the moment they saw this man, Yang Junshan already knew who he was.
However, Yang Junshan still found that his attention was still not accurate. At least, this Young Master Tian Yu's cultivation was not at the second level of the Martial Disciple Stage, but at the third level of the Evil Qi.
"Young Master Yang, please do not misunderstand!"
Another baleful cultivator standing beside Tian Yu stepped forward, blocking Yang Junshan's line of sight, and said, "Wei Lu's actions were all his own doing. After all, even we didn't know that he had already advanced into the late stage of the Martial Disciple realm!"
Yang Junshan recognized this man. He was Tian Zhengwei's younger brother, Tian Zhengtai. He was also Tian Yu's uncle. If the Rage Sand Town Tian Clan could rise to prominence, Tian Zhengtai would be Tian Zhenggang's number one right-hand man.
The Tian family originated from the four villages of Sandstorm Town. Originally, the Tian family did not speak of this alone, but in the process of resisting the Prominent Class Sha family of Sandstorm Town, Tian Zheng Wang had relied on his outstanding skills to firmly bind this loose alliance.
According to the information that Yang Junshan had gathered, Tian Zhenggang's cultivation had already reached the limit of a late stage Martial Disciple, which meant that he could advance to the Great Circle of the Martial Arts Realm at any time. However, compared to the Yang family in the Western Mountain area, the roots of the Desolate Sand Town's Tian Family were much stronger than the Yang family's.
However, the Yang family also had its own advantage, which was that the Yang family was much more pure than the Tian family. Compared to the Tian family, the Yang family was more united and focused.
Yang Junshan's voice was full of ridicule, "Are you saying that Wei Lu purposely concealed his cultivation level and ambushed me? Did you guys not know that?"
Tian Zhengtai's expression did not change as he said, "I know this is unbelievable, but the truth is as such. After all, the appearance of a late stage Martial Disciple among our Tian Clan's forces is a huge matter, not to mention that Wei Lu does not even have the surname Tian!"
The meaning behind Tian Zhengtai's words was obvious. He even risked the other members of the Tian Family to explain this matter to Yang Junshan.
The main pillar of the Tian Family, Tian Chanzi, was only at the late stage of Martial Disciple. It was obvious that Wei Lu had also advanced to the late stage of Martial Disciple. Wei Lu also understood the situation he was in and had been hiding his cultivation.
And the reason why he sneaked an attack on Yang Junshan was probably to incite a war between the two new clans, but he was so surprised to find out that Yang Junshan showed such incredible strength, after fighting two cultivators of the same cultivation level, he still had the energy to kill another cultivator of the same cultivation level!
However, how could Yang Junshan let his uncle and nephew of the Tian Family off so easily? All kinds of indications indicated that Tian Zhengwang was able to consolidate the influence of the Desert Town in such a short period of time, expel the Prominent Class Sha Family and become a newly emerged family like the Yang Family of the Western Mountain.
Yang Junshan didn't need to think to know who was the mastermind behind all this. Besides the county magistrate court and Chen JIxian, Yang Junshan couldn't think of any other family in Mengyu County that would dare to brazenly raise a family of the Prominent Class!
Yang Junshan had never felt that there was anything special about him and the Yang family. As for the so-called honorary disciple status, if they couldn't even become an official disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect, then they could just accept as many people as they wanted. In any case, with his status as a Real Realm warrior, he could just casually teach them a small inheritance.
If Adept Chen was able to raise a Prominent Class family in Mengyu County to share the pressure against the two tyrants, then she could naturally raise a second and a third family. After the collapse of the two tyrants, these new families could quickly fill in the gap left by the two of them.
Or perhaps, the conflict between the two families was what the magistrate wanted to see?
Yang Junshan looked at Tian Zhengtai who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him and sneered, "Oh, you have pushed it clean, but what should I do about it, given that Young Master Tian has warned me twice?"
Tian Zhengtai shifted his gaze back a little, as if scolding with points. After a slight pause, he said, "Then, Young Master Yang, what should we do?"
It was true that Wei Lu becoming a late stage Martial Disciple surprised them, but since the Yang family of the West Mountain were their future opponents, since Wei Lu had launched a sneak attack on Yang Junshan, they naturally wouldn't mind losing a strong enemy in the future. Furthermore, he had warned them twice in order to keep the two in balance.
Thinking to this point, Yang Junshan knew that now was not the time to have a falling out with the Tian Family. Since the Tian Family also had the shadow of the county magistrate behind them, Chen Ji wouldn't let the two families fight with each other.
"In that case, the Tian Family will not participate in the battle for the mines this time around!" Yang Junshan sounded like he was asking, but he actually refused.
Tian Zheng Tai's face changed, Tian Yu was about to struggle forward, but he was stopped, and he said, "Young Master Yang, you have forced yourself to do this. The Tian Family and the people from Mengyu County have also put in a lot of effort to encircle and annihilate the Xiong Family, and with the death of a Martial Disciple, one was injured, and with Wei Lu, we have suffered heavy casualties. Young Master Yang's one sentence, for us to retreat, is that not acceptable?"
Seeing Yang Junshan still sneering, Tian Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, we will not take any money from the Xiong Family's team, but our Tian Family must have a share in this mine!"
At this time, Yang Junshan saw Yang Tiezhu and his second brother standing next to him, giving him a look.
Yang Junshan laughed at the sky, only to see him take out an object from the storage bag at his waist. This object was shaped like a disk, and was about five feet in diameter, and after it fell to the ground, with the infusion of spiritual energy from Yang Junshan, light sounds came from all around the mine.
"Formation!"
Tian Zhengtai's face turned pale as he said in a deep voice, "What a great young master Yang. We shared the information just to buy time for our family members to finish setting up the formation. Good plan, good plan. Our Tian family is not as skilled as you are, so we will take our leave now!"
The people of Tian Village left the mine hurriedly. Yang Junshan didn't use the array to make things difficult for them and watched them leave.
Yang Junping walked up to them and said, "Bro, we should show them our colors. It's really cheap to let them go this time!"
Yang Junshan turned around and looked at the other frightened cultivators, and said with a smile, "Let's pacify these people first. Divide the Xiong Family's cavalry team into points. Since the Tian Family has already left, we might as well give them more points."
Yang Junping was excited, "No problem, even if we give them more, we will still have a lot left. Plus, we have thirty-five animals, so our Yang family's caravan doesn't need anyone to pull them. Ling Tian farming and stuff like that should be enough!"
Whether it was the Hunting Horse Beast or the Stupid Cow Beast, they were both at least at the fourth or fifth level of the Mortal Realm when they reached adulthood. Whether it was farming, riding or pulling carts, they were all competent.
"Although these five elemental formations are successful, they are merely the lowest level of magic formations. With such a large area and dispersing the power of the formations, scaring Mortal Realm cultivators is fine, but I still need to hurry and consolidate the array. I'll leave the rest of the things in the mine to you, and by the way, give them more of the villages from Wasteland Town."
Hearing the cheers of the cultivators from the various villages and towns, Yang Junshan smiled and took over the town hall of the Barren Hill Town, then took control of the mine vein of the Sunset Ridge. After the Xiong Family fell, other than the county magistrate, the Yang Family of the West Hill was the biggest beneficiary.
Although this would make the Xiong Family an enemy that wouldn't rest until they died, after all, the Xiong Family had already been expelled from Mengyu County. Even if one person could make a comeback, by that time, the West Mountain Yang Family would not be a force that the Xiong Family could easily control!
