Chapter 97 – Conspiracy
“The people of Shi nationality don’t produce much, all of them are really vampires!”
Yang Junshan searched through the wooden house and very quickly found a storage room, which was filled with around ten spiritual valley Stones. The row of people who went up deep reported that he had only collected five stones, and the scattered Jade Coinnd stone coins added up could be equivalent to twenty Jade Coins s. There were also some spirit herbs, spirit materials, ores, medicinal pills and other miscellaneous items.
“No wonder in my previous life, it was said that all the cultivators of the Shi nationality were rats, and were vampires. From the looks of it, this was only a monk that was halfway through being transformed, with a cultivation level equivalent to the fifth level of Mortal Realm. But in just three months, he was able to take so many things from the hands of mortals and low level cultivators!”
After taking away some of the Jade Coins s, medicinal pills and spirit materials that he needed, as well as the remaining corpse, Yang Junshan was unable to take them away for now. After taking care of the corpse, Yang Junshan returned everything to its original state and deeply glanced at the shrine, which he wrapped up with a beast skin. He then threw the shrine into the moat outside of the county city, and on the second day, he took a carriage to the Bluestone Town and returned to his uncle’s house.
“Ox-Head Mountain?”
Two days later was the day Han Xiumei escorted the hundred and fifty stone spiritual valley from Tuqiu Village to Bluestone Town. She never thought that her son would bring such news to his mother’s house without resting for even a moment.
Ever since he came to a secret agreement with Chu Chuang in the Green Tree Village, Han Xiumei would send a carriage of spiritual valley to the Bluestone Town every three months to secretly trade with him, and then bring the soil powder back to the Tuqiu Village. He wanted An Xia to secretly avoid the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s tax barriers by passing through the tunnels, and exchange it for a large amount of cultivation resources and spiritual valley s.
Of course, Yang Junshan would never believe that his father was only staring aiece of meat like the Green Tree Village. Chu Chuang was just a stepping stone for him to open the door for Chenyu County, and with Chu Chuang’s fifth stage Mortal Realm, he simply did not have the courage to eat a hundred and fifty stones of the spiritual valley every three months. There was bound to be a portion of these spiritual valley s that were sent out, and the things Han Xiumei brought back to the Mengyu County were definitely not just powdered earth.
After listening to Yang Junshan carefully, even though Han Xiumei was furious at him for acting rashly and actually daring to lay his hands on someone whose cultivation was higher than his, she was still extremely proud that her son was able to defeat a fifth stage practitioner in the Mortal Realm.
Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “That’s right, Ox-Head Mountain, located at the border between Chenyu County and Mengyu County, I have already scouted everything from the Evil Disciple, that should be one of his strongholds, the leader only has a cultivation level equivalent to a cultivator of the martial arts realm, and that place should be filled with all the cultivation resources accumulated by this group of Evil Disciples over the past three months.”
Han Xiumei glanced at him, and said: “How do you know that person isn’t lying?”
Yang Junshan naturally knew that the person was not lying, because he did not say anything at all. All of this was something that Yang Junshan had guessed based on his understanding of the Shi nationality in his previous life.
Yang Junshan smacked his lips, and said: “This child can be sure that the person is not lying, the disciples of the Protectors will deliver the cultivation resources collected in three months to the Ox-Head Mountains stronghold. We can take this opportunity to sneak in, and we can just wait for the right opportunity to make our move.”
In the end, Han Xiumei chose to believe in his son, and said: “This matter requires your father to be in charge!”
Whether it was the Heaven-Shaken Sect s, various famous sects, or powerful people, all of these organizations were firmly forbidden and attacked by the cultivators. In the eyes of the cultivators in the world, the actions of the people from the Shi nationality s were thoroughly considered as part of the Evil Sect’s organizations, but the leader had been confirmed by Yang Junshan aogue cultivator in martial arts realm, and more importantly, after hearing Yang Junshan’s introduction of how to recruit people, Yang Tiangang could not help but think of using this opportunity to earn a sum of money.
Five days later, Yang Junshan and Han Xiusheng drove a large carriage all the way to the Ox-Head Mountain, where the Chenyu County was located. Chu Chuang had long since brought a few friendly looking Yang Junshan and waited there, among them was Chu Yang.
“Haha, brother Yang!”
Seeing Yang Junshan coming over, Chu Chuang laughed out loud and walked towards him, then said: “Thank you little brother, you still remember us, Old Chu, you did not forget to let us, Old Chu, have a share of this good fortune.”
Yang Junshan laughed: No matter what, it is a life and death business, my brother came here to help me, but victory in this battle is no problem, the key point is to not let the disciples of the Demonic Sect escape, when that time comes, I will rely on Brother Chu and my brothers.
Yang Junshan could tell that although Chu Chuang and his brothers had only reached the fourth and fifth stage of the Mortal Realm, their auras were extremely sharp and fierce. It was obvious that they were men who had seen blood and experienced life and death battles.
In these past half a year, he heard that Chu Chuang had almost taken all of the hundred over miners in the Green Tree Village as his subordinates, and had even given three points to the Martial Realm Cultivator in the Green Tree Village. Even the new Chief of the Wang Family was not willing to offend him, so it was likely that there was a lot of bloodshed mixed in between.
Chu Chuang was overjoyed upon hearing that, and said: “That’s good, if our brothers can’t even do it, then we, Old Chu will be doing it for nothing, brothers, obediently continue digging underground!”
Yang Junshan then asked: “Brother Chu, you have arrived early, have you seen anyone deliver items up the mountain?”
Chu Chuang nodded his head, his expression serious: “Those people have a strange Qi, my brother and the others have all seen three groups of people, some of them were pushing wheelbarrows, while some of them were pulling flatbeds, all of them were heading towards the top of the mountain. Don’t worry, we did not alert them.”
On the contrary, the dirt roads leading to the mountain were quite spacious. Even a large food cart pulling a Spirit Sealing Box could walk all the way up to the mountainside and then replace it with a wheelbarrow or a double-wheeled cart.
“Looking at the time, it should be time to make a move, right?”
Han Xiusheng’s expression was obviously nervous, although he was also at the fifth stage of cultivation, he had trained regularly and had never experienced fighting or killing before. Originally, Han Xiumei did not plan to let him join in, he only needed to go into the mountains afterwards to carry the spoils of war.
But this time, Han Xiusheng took the initiative to tame Yun Che, as he himself was also at the fifth stage of cultivation. He had secretly organized this operation because he was not strong enough, otherwise, he would not have pulled and the rest of the people in, and now, Han Xiusheng had taken the initiative to get in.
Han Xiusheng naturally had his own plans, he had also participated in the things that Yang Tiangang had planned in the past few years, and knew that this brother-in-law had suddenly risen up to become a new Yang Family. Under these circumstances, he naturally didn’t want to be excluded from Yang Tiangang’s core circle.
Furthermore, his cultivation had already been stuck at the peak of the fifth stage for many years, so according to what Yang Junshan had said, he would definitely reap some benefits this time. If he was able to accomplish something good enough, Yang Tiangang would not have many people under his command right now, so he would definitely give his all to support him in advancing his martial arts realm.
Yang Junshan had some experience with Han Xiusheng’s psychology. In his previous life, although this uncle of his was not bad, he was a little cowardly and soft on the ears, so he could avoid things easily. This time, he was able to muster up enough courage to come forward on his own accord, which could be said to be extremely valuable.
Don’t worry uncle, the number of disciples under the Scholars who can spread their teachings is at most seven or eight disciples that can protect them. They are all at the fourth or fifth stage of the Mortal Realm, and even if there are others with the same cultivation level, they are only at the lower levels of the Mortal Realm. They have just stepped into the cultivation realm, and this time, there are nearly twenty people at the fourth or fifth stage of the Mortal Realm.
At this point, Chu Chuang and the rest were scattered around Ox-Head Mountain, preparing to intercept the cultivators of Shi nationality who were escaping the mountain. Han Xiusheng and Yang Junshan were also guarding a path down the mountain.
At this moment, a sharp whistle came from the top of the mountain. The intense whistling sound shook all of the cultivators that were hiding at the intersection of Ox-Head Mountain. This was the signal for them to take action.
“Which daoist has come to my Ox-Head Mountain? I, Yuan Kun, am honored!”
A voice came from the top of the mountain, in a trance it was able to shock people’s mind, causing Yang Junshan to inexplicably rush to quietness, the killing intent in his heart quickly melted like snow encountering a warm sun.
The Conspiracy Spell used by the people of the Shi nationality to recruit believers was able to eliminate the killing intent in people’s hearts, and could also weaken the will to resist, as well as confuse people’s minds.
Even though Yang Junshan had lived for two lifetimes, he was still extremely determined, and quickly gathered his killing intent. Han Xiusheng, who was by the side, was actually distracted by the technique, but was stimulated by the killing intent coming out from Yang Junshan’s body, and was startled awake.
Just at that moment, a snort came out from the top of the mountain. Yang Tiangang’s voice was like rolling thunder: “Hmph, as expected of the Evil Sect, they specialize in deceiving people, and people can kill them!”
A huge fireball suddenly shot down from the clouds, bringing with it a blazing flame as it streaked across the sky. It then smashed towards the peak of the mountain.
“This is the spell that brother-in-law activated with the High quality magical equipment!” Han Xiusheng’s eyes lit up.
“Vile spawn, you dare to disturb my training hall? I won’t let you live!”
Soon after, a ball of golden light suddenly rose from the top of the mountain and collided with the fireball with a loud bang. A ball of fire immediately spread out in all directions along with the golden light, and the entire Ox-Head Mountain was instantly lit up like a burning torch.
A sound that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves came from the top of the mountain. The sound was the gathering of the Shi nationality’s followers who were affected by Yang Tiangang’s spells.
The voice that came from the peak of the mountain was immediately enraged. “Impudent! Who are you? I have always been kind to people and have never interacted with other cultivators. When have I ever offended you?”
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed to the top of the mountain and shouted: “If you want to fight, then just fight. Why are you blabbering so much? Do you think you’re a disciple of the evil faction trying to escape?”
