Chapter 1229: Chapter 564: The Three Great Sects Arrive (Part 2)
They’re just afraid that this time, they’ll capsize in a ditch.
But upon thinking it over again, he felt he might be overthinking.
This time, it’s not just the Earth Mother Sect making a move, the Water God Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect are surely taking action as well.
Moreover, Yangshan has already offended the military, and this time Yangshan is doomed with no way out!
At this moment, on the vast snowy plain, hundreds of people were riding sleds, swiftly rushing out of Guangfu District, heading straight towards Yangshan.
Judging by the flags on their sleds, these were clearly the flags of the Water God Sect!
Two giant mutant beasts were pulling a sled as large as a ship.
On the deck of the ship, several individuals dressed in blue robes of the Water God Sect stood.
Most of them wore masks, with only a few showing their faces.
Among them, a masked man leading the group said in a deep voice: "Do you think that guy named Liang has gone mad for making trouble with the military?"
The Plague Priest Han Tai laughed: "He’s not mad, he’s just desperate."
"Old Han, what’s your insight?" the masked man asked in surprise.
"Younger Brother Wu, you’ve been staying in the Miyuan Rainforest, so you’re not very aware of the situation outside."
Han Tai slowly spoke, "You might not know, the team the military sent this time is nominally allied with Yangshan, but is there really such a favorable thing in this world?"
"The team sent this time is from the military’s Hawk Faction. What kind of people they are, others may not know, but we from the Three Great Sects surely do."
"These people are not good individuals, nor are they the civilian army from before the Great Flood. They were incorporated by the military after the Great Flood, a group much like the Spiritual Ability Sect, focusing only on strength and seeking evolution."
"Yangshan’s people occupied such excellent resources, and even Li Qinghua, who is touted as the King of Space, seized a Spatial Attribute Floating Island."
"Tell me, if you were in their place, wouldn’t you be tempted?"
When the Spatial Attribute Floating Island was mentioned, a trace of greed appeared on the face of the masked Life Priest.
"Are you saying that the military also wants this Floating Island? Their support for Yangshan seems like help, but in reality, it’s to intimidate us and then monopolize Yangshan?"
The Plague Priest Han Tai laughed: "Exactly, this is the Hawk Faction’s style. They are not like the honest Dove Faction military."
"In such a situation, you think that guy Liang would tolerate watching his hard-earned territory being gradually devoured by the military? Could he bear it?"
"With his strength, he would naturally not bear it and would definitely expel these military personnel at the first opportunity."
"But based on my estimation, at most he would just drive them away. I didn’t expect him to be so aggressive, disarming these people, arresting these soldiers, and even detaining folks like Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen of company-level status."
"This means turning against the military completely."
"Who knows what gives him such confidence." The Life Priest couldn’t help but ask.
Han Tai sneered: "He still thinks the world outside is the same as a month and a half ago."
"I’ll admit, a month and a half ago, he was truly terrifying, with a ninety-point main attribute, and outside the Dark Attribute Floating Island at the time, almost no one dared to oppose him."
"However, a month and a half has passed, and the outside superpower users have made tremendous progress."
"He was trapped in the Shadow World for so long, and probably hasn’t made any progress."
"Hehe, the world has already changed, and he is bound to die this time!"
Han Tai’s analysis was thorough, making his partner beside him nod slightly.
"It would be best this time if we could capture him, force out of him what really happened on the Dark Attribute Floating Island, and what’s going on with Deng Ze."
"Of course, our main target is still the King of Space from Yangshan."
"The Spatial Attribute Floating Island must be seized by us!"
"A Spatial Attribute Floating Island will play a significant role in our sect’s unification of Linjiang City."
...
Over on Yangshan’s side, Liang Yuan returned to his home on the cliff of the Fire Bamboo Forest.
Yang Mei and the others had already rearranged this home on the cliff.
Looking at the cozy room in front of him, Liang Yuan was very pleased.
Yang Mei was still busy in the kitchen cooking, while Song Wen and Dong Yan were chattering to Liang Yuan about the beautiful sights in the Mirage Snake Space.
Song Wen couldn’t help but say: "Brother Liang, you have no idea, over there because there is no light, the various glowing plants make it look very mysterious."
"Later, we planted a large area of Mutated Sunflowers on Little Straw Mountain, almost turning it into a glowing mountain over there."
"Because it glows, Little Straw Mountain is now called the city that never sleeps."
"And many survivors scattered in the Mirage Snake Space have come over. Guess how many people are in the Mirage Snake Space now?"
Liang Yuan laughed, "How would I be able to guess that?"
"Haha, not counting the underwater population, there are nearly three thousand people in total."
Liang Yuan was taken aback, "What, there are people living underwater as well?"
"Yes, you’ve forgotten about Ji Xiaoyu and her group from the underwater shelter, haven’t you?" Dong Yan quickly reminded.
Only then did Liang Yuan recall that there was such a group of people.
He asked in confusion, "But there aren’t many of them, right? I remember Ji Xiaoyu and her group didn’t have many people underwater."
"There are quite a few, nearly a hundred people. It’s not just Ji Xiaoyu’s group who established an underwater shelter. With the appearance of the city that never sleeps, other underwater shelter personnel from different places have also come forward."
"Over time and negotiations, everyone spontaneously decided to settle with the city that never sleeps in Little Straw Mountain as the center."
"Now it’s too cold on land, and those Merfolk and mermaid superpower users prefer to live underwater."
"Oh, Brother Liang, while you were away, Li Qinghua and Zhao Kai have both gotten their own titles."
"Oh? What titles?"
"The people in the Mirage Snake Space call Li Qinghua the ’King of Space,’ and Zhao Kai over in Meishan is called the ’King of Ice.’"
Hearing this, Song Wen’s expression showed a hint of worry.
"Brother Liang, their prestige isn’t low either. Won’t this impact your position?"
Liang Yuan was astonished, not expecting Song Wen to think of this aspect.
He couldn’t help but laugh: "Don’t worry, it won’t."
His eyes flashed slightly as his position in Yangshan was almost irreplaceable.
However, the titles of ’King of Space’ and ’King of Ice’ did give Liang Yuan some ideas.
"Maybe I could form an elite Yangshan powerhouse group, so everyone’s cultivation is motivated and can also intimidate the petty villains."
Just like the Three Great Sects, which have set up a bunch of complicated organizational structures.
For example, the Water God Sect established the Four Great Priests.
The Spiritual Ability Sect established the Evolution Council.
They sound impressive, mysterious, and unpredictable, adding much mystique to their sects and attracting many people over to be fleeced.
Yangshan over here, although it doesn’t follow the church route or the religious ruling model.
But individual heroism can indeed be advocated.
Times have changed since the Great Flood; before, Huaxia emphasized the collective concept, and heroes could only appear posthumously.
But with the emergence of superpower users after the Great Flood, the birth of heroism was inevitable.
A powerful force must have powerful heroes to lead it.
Only then can the cohesion of the force and the people’s loyalty be increased.
Currently, the only person in Yangshan being pushed to the extreme hero position is himself.
But this is still not enough. Through several crises, it’s obvious that Yangshan needs to create more heroic figures.
In that way, even if he’s not in Yangshan, other heroes can also serve to unite the people.
At least it wouldn’t become a scattered mess, easily broken by others.
"Maybe I could establish a Celestial King organization based on the strength of the people in Yangshan."
"With the King of Space and King of Ice, add a couple more, and make Yangshan’s Four Great Celestial Kings?"
With this mischievous thought flashing through his mind, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
