Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1072: Chapter 736: The Fall of the Xiang Family

“Have you chosen a location?” Yang Zhenshan looked at him in confusion.

Lv Hua’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, “I’ve chosen it, in the Xue Meng Mountain in the north Cold Valley County!”

The north of Ancient County is Cold Valley County, and currently, Cold Valley County has been occupied by a sect called the Cold Cloud Sect.

This Cold Cloud Sect is similar to the Shaking Mountain Sect of Lushan County, merely an ordinary sect without a Martial God Realm expert, but the Cold Cloud Sect acts justly and governs Cold Valley County quite well.

As for Xue Meng Mountain, it should be part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, a mountain range stretching hundreds of miles; it’s a sparsely populated area, a good place to hide.

“Mm, as long as you’ve chosen the place, tomorrow I’ll bring some people over to help you set up the training base first!” Yang Zhenshan said.

As the saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles without defeat. Currently, what Yang Zhenshan lacks most is intelligence.

It’s not only the intelligence on the Sea of Spirit but also the intelligence on the numerous forces surrounding the Sea of Spirit.

To the west of the Sea of Spirit is the former Dazhao Dynasty, now fragmented. To the south, several dynasties have emerged, and to the north, several sects occupy the area, while the Capital City has become the royal capital of the Dayun Dynasty. These forces are fighting each other, while the Lu family, having occupied half of East Splendor County and the entire Ancient County, has stabilized instead.

The north of the Sea of Spirit is the Yunxiao Mountain Range, extending three thousand miles to the north, mostly territory of mutant beasts. Even some Martial Arts forces there are relatively weak.

In the southern Wanlin Mountain Range, however, there are many Martial Arts forces, scattered like stars, even more chaotic than Dazhao.

As for the east, it’s said to be the domain of the Nether Prison Sect. Here, the Sea of Spirit refers to the Nether Prison Sect as the Demon Sect, but Yang Zhenshan knows nothing concrete about what kind of Demon Sect it is.

Now that Yang Zhenshan has established himself in the Sea of Spirit, he undoubtedly wants to make a grand impact in the Sea of Spirit in the future, but he cannot overlook the forces surrounding the Sea of Spirit. It is still very necessary to gather some intelligence in advance.

Therefore, Yang Zhenshan took Lv Hua’s suggestion seriously.

The next day, he selected six people from the Spirit Source Land and entrusted them to Lv Hua.

Yang Chengxian brought five Personal Followers to assist Lv Hua in establishing the training base for the Secret Martial Guards. At the same time, Yang Zhenshan gave Lv Hua ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred spirit stones as funds for forming the Secret Martial Guards.

Since it was the same type of work, Yang Zhenshan didn’t bother to come up with a new name and continued to use the name of the Da Rong Secret Martial Guards.

The reason he chose Yang Chengxian for this task was because Yang Chengxian’s personality was quite suitable.

Yang Chengxian is now forty-four years old and broke through to the Innate Realm three years ago. This child has been meticulous since childhood, making him very appropriate for assisting Lv Hua.

Now the third generation of the Yang family has grown up. The eldest, Yang Chengye, is still reigning as Emperor in Da’an, the second, Yang Chengmao, has a gentle personality and works in the Clan Hall, the third is Yang Chengxian, while the fourth, Yang Chengyou, is a main king in Dajing, and the fifth, Yang Chengzhang, and sixth, Yang Chengzhen, are both preparing for breakthroughs recently.

Lastly, there’s the seventh, Yang Chengyu, and eighth, Yang Cheng’an, who are relatively young and not yet at the age to handle matters independently.

As for the fourth generation, the eldest, Yang Qinyuan, is only thirty-four years old now, and his cultivation hasn’t reached the Half-step Innate. It’s not suitable to bring him here yet.

So Yang Zhenshan, after considering options, could only have Yang Chengxian take on the task.

Lv Hua left Lingxi Mountain with Yang Chengxian and the six, leaving the intelligence gathering work to Chen Zhongshu and Li Chang.

Chen Zhongshu was responsible for running outside, while Li Chang replaced Lv Hua to handle receiving intelligence and conveying Yang Zhenshan’s orders.

Meanwhile, Wang Lei continued to focus on training the young and strong members of the Lingxi Yang Family.

After arranging Lv Hua’s matters, Yang Zhenshan returned to the Spirit Source Land to continue his cultivation.

In the county government of Nanxia County, Lu Jianghua and Lan Peng sat in the main hall, discussing the recent obliteration of the Yu family.

“Yu Xiaoning has escaped. This person is shrewd and ruthless; the Fourth Young Master must beware of his revenge in the future!” Lan Peng said softly.

Although he looked rugged, he was a meticulous person. Before attacking Longxi Town, he had made various arrangements to prevent anyone from the Yu family from escaping.

However, Yu Xiaoning was indeed no simple man. As soon as he got the news of the Red Flame Army crossing the border, Yu Xiaoning decisively left Longxi Town with his wife and children, abandoning everything of the Yu family, not even taking his elderly mother along.

“Rest assured, General Lan, I will be cautious. But I still hope you will look after matters here!” Lu Jianghua smiled.

Lan Peng laughed heartily, “Just a matter of duty. I expect there will be many situations in the future that will trouble the Fourth Young Master!”

“By the way, I have another finding here; Fourth Young Master, please take a look!”

As he spoke, he took out a slip of paper and handed it to Lu Jianghua.

Lu Jianghua took a quick glance; the content was simple, only nine words, ‘Red Flame Army has arrived, make preparations early,’ with a name at the end, ‘Xiang Feiying.’

He flipped the slip over and carefully examined it. It was just an ordinary piece of paper, nothing special besides that line of words.

“What is this?”

“Found in the Yu family’s spiritual material shop!” Lan Peng sipped his tea, his expression calm and unruffled.

Lu Jianghua’s lips curled slightly, “Can it be verified?”

“Does such a thing need verification?” Lan Peng laughed heartily.

Lu Jianghua chuckled, “True, whether it can be verified doesn’t matter!”

Relying on just a slip of paper to decide the life or death of a family indeed seems absurd.

But it’s just a small Martial Arts Family; so what if it’s a bit absurd?
