Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1301: Chapter 845: Reforming White Jade City

Illusion Moon Sect, Moon Mountain.

Above the misty cliffs, Yang Zhenshan and Master Jing Shui sat in front of a stone seat. A pot of clear tea exuded a rich tea fragrance, making one feel invigorated just by smelling it.

Master Jing Shui, gazing at the drifting clouds, said sorrowfully, "Master Shanming and Duan Qingyun are both dead!"

Yang Zhenshan’s expression was calm as water, sipping his tea lightly.

Shanming, the elder of the Precepts Hall of the Wuxiang Sect, was an old monk profoundly skilled in Buddhist Law.

Duan Qingyun, an elder of the Xuanqing Sect, was always responsible for matters related to the Ancient Array.

Yang Zhenshan was quite familiar with these two, though he had never interacted with them.

They were both veteran Martial Gods, their cultivation had reached the late stage of Martial God, but their lifespans were nearly exhausted, belonging to the same era as Master Jing Shui.

Just a few days ago, they died in the Evil Blood Killing Array left by Mo Xuanyu.

After discovering Mo Xuanyu’s plot, the Three Sects of Lingxiu and the Nether Prison Sect immediately launched a siege against the Unpredictable Ghost Sect and the Soul-breaking Blade, while also organizing personnel to attack the Evil Blood Killing Array at Black Mountain Ridge.

Although Mo Xuanyu had left, many ghosts remained within the Evil Blood Killing Array.

He used the ghosts to control the array, commanding them to block those who intruded into the array, initiating such a chaotic battle.

Lin Daoyuan and Yue E personally pressed on the array, four Foundation Establishment cultivators, and over a dozen Martial God experts were responsible for breaking through the array, thus they managed to break the Evil Blood Killing Array.

Yet the Three Sects of Lingxiu and the Nether Prison Sect paid a hefty price.

The Nether Prison Sect lost three Martial Gods, the Three Sects of Lingxiu not only lost two veteran Martial Gods but also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one of whom belonged to the Wuxiang Sect.

After this battle, the Wuxiang Sect suffered another substantial loss.

Previously, the Wuxiang Sect was already severely weakened by the war with the Nether Prison Sect, and this time they lost yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator, leaving the Wuxiang Sect now somewhat short of talent. Although there is still a Martial Immortal powerhouse in the sect, the core strength of Martial Gods and Foundation Establishment cultivators are down to only two, far inferior to the Xuanqing Sect and the Illusion Moon Sect.

Of course, as one of the Three Sects of Lingxiu, the Wuxiang Sect still has deep foundations.

Yang Zhenshan actually anticipated such an outcome, Mo Xuanyu wasn’t a fool; he knew that he was exposed and wouldn’t stay to wait for death at Black Mountain Ridge.

He could run, but the Evil Blood Killing Array couldn’t, so using the Evil Blood Killing Array to trap the Nether Prison Sect and the Three Sects of Lingxiu was also within expectations.

And the current situation fits precisely into Yang Zhenshan’s plans.

With Mo Xuanyu exposed, the Three Sects of Lingxiu and the Nether Prison Sect, after this incident, would likely not conflict again for a short time but perhaps form an alliance to counter the peering from the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Now everyone’s focus is on Mo Xuanyu, but the situation inside the Ancient Relic Array has been ignored.

They naturally attributed the changes in the Ancient Relic Array to Mo Xuanyu.

The only unexpected thing for Yang Zhenshan was that the ghostly lady actually escaped.

He didn’t expect the ghostly lady to escape the array under everyone’s watchful eyes.

However, a ghostly lady was of no importance.

While Master Jing Shui was nostalgic, Yue Qing, dressed in a moon-white long skirt, gracefully approached the cliff.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" The two promptly rose to salute.

"Martial Uncle, Elder Yang!" Yue Qing’s beautiful face carried a faint, friendly smile as she greeted them.

"Does the Sect Master have matters?" Master Jing Shui asked.

Yue Qing looked at Yang Zhenshan and smiled, "I have a matter to discuss with Elder Yang!"

Yang Zhenshan poured a cup of tea for Yue Qing; this Moon Mountain was now his Dao Field, although Master Jing Shui was still present, Master Jing Shui’s lifespan was nearly exhausted, and he had already handed everything over to Yang Zhenshan.

Actually, there wasn’t much to hand over on Moon Mountain. Within the entire Illusion Moon Sect, other than Yang Zhenshan and Master Jing Shui, there were eight Qi Refinement Realm Immortal Cultivators, and Yang Zhenshan’s task as Guest Elder was to guide these eight Qi Refinement Realm Immortal Cultivators until one of them becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, thereby fulfilling his promise to the Illusion Moon Sect.

"I wonder why the Sect Master is looking for me?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"It’s not a big matter; the Lian family has joined the Unpredictable Ghost Sect. After discussions among the Three Sects, it has been decided to expel the Lian family."

"At the same time, the Three Sects have also decided to let the Lingxi Yang Family replace the Lian family as one of the Twelve Families!"

Yue Qing sat down gracefully, speaking leisurely.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, "It seems my identity has been exposed!"

"Hehe, it was a matter of time! Rest assured, however, we haven’t disclosed anything about the White Jade City; outsiders only know you as a Foundation Establishment cultivator who joined our sect and became our sect’s Guest Elder!" Yue Qing responded.

"That’s good; some matters are better kept hidden!" Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Although White Jade City was something he fabricated, the Spirit Source Land truly exists. Saying Spirit Source Land is White Jade City isn’t too far-fetched.

In fact, Spirit Source Land is now developing toward White Jade City, and the Clan Council is preparing to reform it once again.

The clan system is somewhat petty; when Yang Zhenshan initially established the clan system, it was merely to reassure the many affiliated families, to assure those entering the Spirit Source Land that he never intended to treat them as slaves.

Thus he established the Clan Council, allowing over thirty families to enter the Clan Council and share the power of the Spirit Source Land.

To this day, the clan system has been in implementation for over thirty years, and some elements are no longer suitable. It’s time for a change.
