Sovereign to Immortality

1In fact, just as Yang Junshan had predicted, after Shi Nan Sheng decided to lead the Shi family, only two-thirds of the families of the Shi family were willing to follow him. About two hundred clansmen of the Shi family, over a thousand Shi family, chose to leave.    3

    

According to the news sent back by the clan members, after the Shi family began their migration, the Heaven Shaking Manor's cultivators openly appeared among the Shi family members. They assisted and escorted the Shi family members on their way to the Desolate Hill Village.    

    

Yang Junshan only sneered when he heard the news. With the start of the Shi family, no one else in the village could remain still. Even if they didn't want to leave, they would still try to figure out whether the Yang family was willing to expel the Shi family from their village.    

    

Although Yang Junshan had already expected this, he didn't expect that on the night the Shi family moved away, there would be people knocking on his door, and two of them at that!    

    

"Uncle Li, Brother Xu, do you two also plan to move away from Xishan Village?"    

    

Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun smiled at each other, then Xu Lei said: "We do indeed plan to move. However, the Xu and Li families do not plan to go to the Desolate Hill Village. They want to rebuild the village there."    

    

This idea was out of his expectation. Yang Junshan asked curiously, "I don't get it, the county magistrate wanted to absorb more spirit farmers to cultivate the spirit farmland, but the conditions were extremely kind. Since the Xu and Li families don't plan to go to the Wasteland Town, why should they move their families to rebuild their new village?"    

    

After a moment, Xu Lei said: "I don't know if the young clan leader has noticed, but the conditions for the county magistrate to use the bear and the two families' spirit fields to recruit and cultivate the spirit farmlands are also very good, but in reality, the ownership of the spirit farmland is still in the hands of the county magistrate. That is to say, no matter how long the spirit farmland is cultivated in the hands of the Heaven Shaking Sect, as long as they wish, the spirit farmland will always be taken back from the hands of the spirit farming farmer!"    

    

Yang Junshan was stunned, but he didn't expect it.    

    

Li Shaoqun smiled from the side: "We country cultivators are mostly ancestors of the spirit farming industry, so as long as we own a piece of spirit farmland, we can accept it even if the taxes are a bit heavier and the output is a bit lower. As for the spirit farmland in Wasteland Town, even if we give it to you for a hundred years, we would have no choice but to give it up with just a word."    

    

Yang Junshan seemed to realize something as he nodded, and then said, "But the Shi family moved their spirit fields to the northern part of the Barren Town, near the town. Yang Junshan nodded as if he realized something, and then he said," But the Shi family moved their spirit fields to the northern part of the Barren Town, near the town.    

    

"But when the time comes, will they still have a village to stay in? "Will the Yang family allow them to rebuild their village in Wasteland Town, or will they be magnanimous enough to allow them to return to Xishan Village?"    

    

Xu Lei's face had a mocking smile on it. In these past few years, the temperament of this young head of the Xu family had become even more gloomy, and his shrewdness had grown deeper and deeper. He didn't know if it was because of the stimulation of his mother's death, or because of the humiliation and shock brought about by Xu Jing's marriage annulment, but Yang Junshan maliciously believed that it was more likely to be the latter.    

    

"One day, the Heaven Shaking Sect will take back the spirit farmland they cultivated. Without the support of the spirit farmland, then the villages they built in the town will no longer exist. The entire Shi family will probably fall to the ownerless tenants!"    

    

"What do you mean?"    

    

He pointed to a location southwest on the map and said: "Here, there is originally a spiritual field of the Yu Family, and near this spiritual field there are also two wild spiritual fields, and these three spiritual fields should be under the control of the Yang Family. The Xu Li family is willing to give up all of the spiritual fields in Xishan Village in exchange for the three spiritual fields here, and they hope to receive the Yang family's promise to help us build two villages!"    

    

Yang Junshan had a good idea about all the spiritual fields in the town under the control of the Yang family. With just a glance at the map, he knew the quality and area of these three spiritual fields, and couldn't help but say with some surprise, "Although the area of these three spiritual fields is not small, but as far as I know, it is still a little less than the area of the spiritual fields the two families have in the Xishan Village."    

    

Xu Lei laughed: "Although it's a bit worse, but our village cannot be built without the help of the Yang family, not to mention the Young Patriarch can give a stone spirit valley to every family that moves away from the Shi family, there's no reason to be biased against us right?"    

    

"What's more," Xu Lei restrained the smile on her face, and her expression turned even more solemn: "We are still within the scope of the Yang family's influence in the Wasteland Town, our two families can still be regarded as the Yang family's vassal families!"    

    

Yang Junshan looked deeply at Xu Lei, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that I have no reason to refuse!"    

    

After sending off Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun, she returned to find Yang Tianlei and Han Xiusheng waiting for him.    

    

"What, are the two families leaving again?" Yang Tianlei had clearly heard the conversation between Yang Junshan and the other two.    

    

Yang Junshan nodded and said, "We will leave sooner or later. Instead of using some tricks to chase them out of Xishan Village, it would be better for us to settle things now. We still have a favor to do in the future!"    

    

Han Xiusheng changed the topic and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the caravan first. I don't feel good about Yuzhou right now!"    

    

Yang Junshan looked solemn as he said, "What, did second uncle and uncle get any bad news this time?"    

    

Yang Tianlei said exasperatedly: "Didn't I just listen to you, little brat, and go to Jiayu County to find that strong and powerful district's family. That Qu Feng did find the place and the business was successful, but when the Qu family rebelled, our caravan was almost detained on the charge of colluding with the enemy. We had to pay all the jade coins we earned from the Qu family and got away with a fluke."    

    

"The Qu family is rebelling?"    

    

Yang Junshan was stunned at first, but soon his expression turned serious.    

    

Han Xiusheng hastened to say, "It can't be said that they rebelled. In short, the real cultivators of the Prefectural Committee had a falling out with the County Magistrate of Jiayu County, which made the relationship between the county magistrate and the family tense. However, we heard that the local forces of Jiayu County are stepping up their mediation efforts, so our caravan just coincidentally caught up with them and was taken advantage of by the county magistrate!"    

    

Yang Junshan looked at his second uncle unhappily.    

    

Obviously, Yang Tianlei did not notice as he said loudly: "We are no longer able to do this business anymore. How can it only take a year's time for everything to become unstable? If it's not internal strife, then why can't the Heaven Shaking Sect have a day of peace?" Where can the face of the number one sect in the Jade Province be hidden! "    

    

Ever since last year, when Spiritual Master Chen Ji had taken the initiative to exterminate the powerful Yu clan in Mengyu County, expelling the powerful Xiong family, and then single-handedly made the powerful Ning family join the Heaven Shaking Sect, it seemed as if he had broken the peace that Yu County had maintained for three to four years.    

    

First, the Heavenly Wolf Gate provoked them at the border. Following that, the Xiong Family that had escaped into Yao County began to frequently attack the border in the name of revenge.    

    

Following that, they were all influenced by Mengyu County. Other than Jinyu County which did not have any powerful families, the other four counties, including Chen Yu County's Wang Qian, had no choice but to take measures to suppress the strong and powerful of this county.    

    

However, this was not a unified operation coordinated by the Heaven Shaking Sect. The different counties' decrees had different priorities in suppressing the local tyrants, and this also gave the local tyrants a breather. Some of them had fled to the neighboring countries to seek help from other sects, some had started their own network of connections that had existed for hundreds of years, some had openly rebelled, and some had chosen to temporarily swallow their anger …    

    

However, regardless of what kind of countermeasures these powerful forces were taking, they were all secretly trying to save up resources. Perhaps they were not trying to rebel, but from their point of view, this was more like preparing for the final battle after they ran out of options.    

    

However, this situation had caused the situation in the entire Yuzhou region to turn tense. According to Yang Junshan's knowledge, the person who had instigated the suppression of the powerful experts within the country, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, had now become the target of public criticism. Not only did he suffer the heavy pressure from the powerful experts around him, he even received criticism from the Heaven Shaking Sect.    

    

While the Heaven Shaking Sect was debating whether or not to suppress the strong in each county in a short period of time, the borders of the six counties of Yuxian County were being harassed on a small-scale scale by the neighboring sects.    

    

This time, the Heaven Shaking Sect was once again unable to take unified measures to deal with the small scale border conflicts. The counties all took their own actions, and on Meng Yu County's side, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, with the cooperation of the Cyan Robed Master, still resolutely fought back.    

    

The Tan Xi Sect had even sent people to cross over the border of the Yuan Cheng Mountain and seized a few mines that were of good quality. However, it was said that a group of Tan Xi Sect cultivators had attempted to pass through the Nan Xuan Swamp to sneak attack a warehouse in Morning Yu County's Fang Shi Town, but had ended up going missing in the swamp. At that time, the Tan Xi Sect denied this fact, but the truth was unknown.    

    

The powerful forces within the county had yet to be settled, and the Five Origin Sects had also invaded the outside world. He had actually asked the powerful and powerful Ji Clan and Bi Clan's cultivators to join forces to resist, and it was said that the Bi Clan and the Five Origin Sects had secretly linked up with each other.    

    

As for the other two counties, Siyu County and Huaiyu County, they were also suffering from internal and external troubles. The situation was not any better than those two counties.    

    

"It looks like it's about to begin!" Yang Junshan murmured.    

    

"What's starting?" Yang Tianlei interjected.    

    

Yang Junshan didn't answer and instead ordered, "Starting tomorrow, the family caravan will bring enough jade coins and the Spirit Valley, as well as the spirit mines mined from the Sunset Mountains during this time. We will immediately go out and buy as many kinds of pills as possible, whether it's magic pills or elixirs, whether it's to aid in cultivation or to heal wounds, we must buy them even if the price is higher!"
