Chapter 1265 - 599: The Second Yangshan Assembly
Yangshan, a series of figures hurriedly rushed toward the Fire Bamboo Forest.
On the way, Shi Haizhu encountered Zhai Guofeng, Xiao Mingtian, Xue Guohua and several others rushing over.
These individuals were former captains under Liang Yuan’s command from Mist City.
Among them, both Zhai Guofeng and Xue Guohua were Earth Attribute Superpower Users, while Xiao Mingtian was a Metal Attribute Superpower User.
Zhai Guofeng and Xue Guohua both held middle and high-level leadership positions in the construction department.
Likewise, as an Earth Attribute Superpower User, Shi Haizhu was quite familiar with them.
When the two parties met, they immediately greeted each other.
"Old Zhai, Old Xue, Captain Xiao, you’re here too?" Shi Haizhu shouted.
Zhai Guofeng turned back and laughed, "Captain Shi, you’re here too."
"Mr. Liang urgently called a meeting, asked us to come over, but I’m not sure what it’s about."
"I heard the Three Great Sects and the military have come together, it probably has something to do with that."
"Are we going to war?" Xiao Mingtian asked.
The group’s expression turned solemn, and Shi Haizhu said gravely, "If it’s really war, we won’t be cowed. We’ve finally secured a territory; why should we let them take it over? We might as well fight to the death."
"Well said, Mr. Liang is the best leader I’ve ever met. Although we joined Yangshan halfway, we’ve already established our homes here."
"Anyone who dares to touch Yangshan is destroying my home, and I’ll be the first to take them down!" Zhai Guofeng said hatefully.
Xue Guohua replied, "Let’s go, we should head to the Leader’s Mansion, it seems a lot of people have gathered."
"Let’s go."
They quickly made their way to the Leader’s Mansion and soon arrived.
At a glance, they were surprised to find the mansion gathered with nearly seventy to eighty people.
Personnel from various departments were present, including a significant number of middle-level managers.
Fortunately, the mansion was large enough; otherwise, it would have been difficult to accommodate so many people.
Shi Haizhu quickly approached and saw Tang Ying from the medical department and immediately walked over.
"Miss Tang, where’s Dr. Yang?"
Tang Ying smiled, "Old Yang has a few patients over there and couldn’t leave, so he asked me to come."
She had recently married Yang Shenmin, holding a simple wedding and inviting old friends from the same neighborhood like Liang Yuan, Ding Yan, Old Ma, Shi Haizhu.
Though it wasn’t grand, the attendees were all high-ranking members of Yangshan, thus quite significant.
Tang Ying is now pregnant, and many responsibilities of Yang Shenmin’s medical department were handed back to him while she took more rest to nurture her pregnancy.
"Miss Tang, do you know why Mr. Liang called such a grand meeting?" Shi Haizhu couldn’t help asking.
Tang Ying shook her head, "I just arrived not long ago. I overheard Old Ma mentioning it in the front, it seems related to the Three Great Sects and the military."
Shi Haizhu’s eyes widened, "So it’s about that, I’m going to find out."
He immediately stood up and went over to Ma Guocai’s side to inquire about the situation.
"Old Ma, hey, Old Cai, you’re all here, is Mr. Liang assembling us to attack the Three Great Sects?" Shi Haizhu asked quietly.
Old Ma shook his head, "We’re all speculating it might be related to the Three Great Sects, but attacking might not be at that level yet."
"After all, Yangshan still lacks enough experts. I heard from the Inspection Department’s intelligence that there are quite a few Genetic Species experts among the Three Great Sects’ high ranks, and quite a few with points above ninety, with the Sect Leaders chiefly reaching 100 point attributes."
"What! 100 point attributes!"
Shi Haizhu inhaled sharply. He had been cultivating relentlessly during this time, never daring to slacken.
This was exactly because of the possibly impending war.
Yet even so, his current Main Attribute was only at 81 points!
With such a Main Attribute, he was already considered strong among the upper echelons of Yangshan, second only to the top tier individuals like Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua.
But there was still a significant gap from 100 points.
Thus, hearing this, he was naturally shocked and a bit concerned.
"So we’re preparing for a defensive battle?" he couldn’t help asking.
"We speculate it might be so. If it really turns into a defensive battle, our construction department will be quite busy."
"Additionally, the navy fleet’s side will also get busy; they have a lot of Water Attribute Superpower Users, who will collaborate with us in constructing more defense structures when building the ice walls."
While speaking, a graceful figure approached.
Old Ma saw the person and immediately smiled, "Minister Zhuang, you’re here too?"
Zhuang Shuyuan saw Old Ma and smiled, "Minister Ma, you’re all here?"
Old Ma was relatively courteous to Zhuang Shuyuan.
He, being experienced, had long seen through the unclear relationship between Zhuang Shuyuan and Liang Yuan.
So he always regarded Zhuang Shuyuan as one of his own.
Zhuang Shuyuan also knew the weight of this group of elders in Liang Yuan’s heart and naturally intended to befriend them.
Thus, their interactions were naturally very harmonious.
Moreover, back when Zhuang Shuyuan was serving, it was under Granny Li.
Granny Li took considerable care of her, and she was naturally grateful, frequently visiting Old Ma’s house as a guest.
If it weren’t for the age differences, she would’ve planned to recognize the old couple as her godparents.
Zhuang Shuyuan was already thirty, while the two elders were in their fifties or sixties, but after awakening their superpowers, they appeared much younger.
Another reason, Zhuang Shuyuan worried that acknowledging them as godparents might upset Liang Yuan.
So she had never dared to mention it.
However, their relationship was naturally very good.
Old Ma asked in a low voice, "Xiaozhuang, do you know why Mr. Liang called us here this time?"
In crowded situations, he called her Minister Zhuang, but privately, he called her Xiaozhuang.
Zhuang Shuyuan enjoyed this intimate address very much and smiled upon hearing it, "Uncle Ma, I just came out from inside and gathered some information, this meeting might be good news."
"Good news?"
"Yes, Mr. Liang, Captain Zhao Kai, and Captain Li Qinghua are inside discussing how to relocate the population."
"Relocate the population? Where are the people coming from?" Old Ma and Shi Haizhu exchanged a bewildered glance.
Zhuang Shuyuan shook her head, "I don’t know either."
She went in to deliver a cup of water, originally hoping to get close to Liang Yuan, but seeing people inside, she could only place the teacup down and come out.
So she didn’t hear any crucial information.
At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted from inside.
"Mr. Liang has come out!"
Immediately, Shi Haizhu and the others perked up and quickly found seats to sit down.
Liang Yuan walked out with Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua, Ding Yan, Han Xiangman, and others.
The people around him were considered Yangshan’s first-tier combat force.
Most of them had surpassed 80 points.
Shi Haizhu came too late this time; otherwise, he would have been called in for a small meeting in advance.
As everyone took their seats, Liang Yuan looked at the crowd.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Everybody’s here."
"It’s been several months since our last Yangshan conference."
The last Yangshan conference was before Liang Yuan went to seek the floating island.
That Yangshan conference established many matters like Floating Bridge Port, Yangshan Flag, and Yangshan School.
This Yangshan conference is equally important.
Liang Yuan scanned the crowd, saying, "Before we start the meeting, let me outline today’s agenda and theme."
"He Zi, Yu Ke, you go and distribute the materials."
He Zi and Yu Ke were Yang Mei’s secretaries, helping manage the complex.
This time, they were sent by Yang Mei to assist Liang Yuan in office work.
The two were both happy and excited; being alongside Mr. Liang was naturally thrilling.
They quickly picked up the thick documents and swiftly handed them to the Yangshan executives present.
Shi Haizhu picked up the meeting materials and glanced at the title.
"Concerning the development of Dark Abyss Mouth, Yellow Earth Divine Origin, and Miyuan Rainforest, three floating islands, and related military alliance matters conference."
The title was very long, yet the content was even more shocking.
All Yangshan members opened their eyes wide, breathing rapidly.
Looking at the text above, some found it unbelievable.
The somewhat impatient Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but look up at Liang Yuan above him and shouted, "Mr. Liang, I know about Dark Abyss Mouth; it’s the floating island you refined. Isn’t Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Miyuan Rainforest the strongholds of the Earth Mother Sect and Water God Sect among the Three Great Sects?"
Liang Yuan looked at Shi Haizhu, smiling and nodding, "Yes. But now they belong to us."
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Mr. Liang, how did it come under our control?"
"Would the Three Great Sects agree?"
"What’s really going on?"
A fierce discussion erupted among the crowd below.
Zhuang Shuyuan’s eyes revealed amazement, staring at Liang Yuan intensely, involuntarily pressing her legs together.
"To be able to shake everyone with a single word, such power is truly... a lifelong pursuit."
Old Ma couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Liang, what about the Three Great Sects?"
The noise was too overwhelming, and his words were drowned in the sound waves.
Zhao Kai knocked on the table and shouted, "Everyone, please quiet down."
Li Qinghua also coughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Three Great Sects have been completely eradicated today by Mr. Liang. The Water God Sect’s top ranks are all but annihilated, and the other two sects’ leaders have abandoned the floating islands and fled."
"Now the Earth Mother Sect’s Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Water God Sect’s Miyuan Rainforest have both been conquered by Mr. Liang."
"All the island population is now under Mr. Liang’s control."
"Furthermore, the Hawk Faction military leader Yuan Shijie has been executed, and Mr. Liang has now formed a coalition agreement with the Dove Faction military."
"Starting today, the Dove Faction military will open its military superpower research technology to Yangshan, including resources from Cloud Mist Island."
"The mountains such as Cangfu Mountain, Mide Mountain, and Denggong Mountain will be leased to the Dove Faction military for their use, with ownership remaining with Yangshan."
"Additionally, the Dove Faction military will announce cooperation matters related to Celestial Abyss and Abyss. For specific details, please refer to the materials in the meeting manual."
"Please take a look at the contents of the material in your hands. Half an hour from now, we’ll formally start the meeting."
With Li Qinghua and Zhao Kai’s explanation, the Leader’s Mansion instantly erupted in chaos!
"The Three Great Sects are all wiped out?"
"Whoa, when did this happen?"
"Wow, did Mr. Liang go alone?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Liang is mighty."
"Even the Hawk Faction military is gone?"
"Hahaha, feels so good!"
"Why didn’t Mr. Liang take me along, at least let me kill a few of those Three Great Sects’ bastards."
...
Everyone was both shocked and delighted, momentarily forgetting the materials in their hands as they excitedly danced around the large conference room.
Some had life-and-death enmity with the Three Great Sects, and were moved to tears, cursing, ’Well dead, deserved to die.’
The Leader’s Mansion was filled with excitement and cheers.
In this jubilant atmosphere, Liang Yuan’s reputation reached its peak.
