Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1323: Chapter 855: Ambush—Don’t Try to Use the Xuanqing Sect to Pressure Me

Wang Qisheng and Li Qianqian’s marriage is an internal alliance within the Xuanqing Sect. Although the Yang family is now one of the Twelve Families, it is still considered an outsider to the Xuanqing Sect.

And although Yang Qinting is a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect, he is even more so a descendant of the Yang family.

Many descendants of major families join the three major sects, but few can hold high positions within them.

This is because the three major sects are also wary of the families growing too powerful, thereby affecting the sects internally.

Take the Beishi family for instance; the reason why the Master Family split into the Beishi and Nan Shi families was because the Master Family was becoming too prominent.

And since the relationship between the Master Family and the Xuanqing Sect was too close, the Xuanqing Sect couldn’t completely eliminate the Master Family, so they simply split it and let the Nan Shi family come under the governance of the Wuxiang Sect.

Therefore, descendants of major families not only do not have an advantage in the Xuanqing Sect but are often neglected.

"Forget it, let’s deal with those who are following you, and as for the rest, let’s wait for the ancestor to decide!" Yang Chengye pondered for a moment and decided.

Saying this, Yang Chengye took Yang Qinting to the training ground behind the Tianshu Tower.

The large training ground didn’t have many people; only eight figures were wielding spears and staffs inside.

The main force of the Tianshu Tower is the Secret Martial Guards, whose primary duty is to gather information outside, so most people in the Tianshu Tower are like civil staff, mainly responsible for analyzing, summarizing, and recording information.

Under normal circumstances, the Tianshu Tower is guarded by only eight people at the Heavenly Gang Stage, ready for unexpected needs.

Should a large force be required, the six thousand soldiers of the Jade Capital’s three guards outside the city are always ready for battle.

"Brothers, let’s go, we have something to do!"

Arriving at the training ground, Yang Chengye shouted excitedly.

Indeed, he was a bit excited. Since coming to the Spirit Source Land, he had only been to the Sea of Spirit once and only strolled around Nanxia County, and after that, he hadn’t left the Spirit Source Land.

The Spirit Source Land is large, but ultimately it’s not as vast as the outside world, nor as bustling as the world outside the sect.

Sometimes, being in Spirit Source Land could be quite dull.

Although Yang Chengye is the master of Tianshu Tower, there weren’t actually many tasks at hand for him to do, so besides cultivating, he found himself somewhat idle every day.

"Master, what happened?" Luo Bo, holding a long spear, strode over to Yang Chengye and asked.

Luo Bo is Luo Shang’s eldest grandson and hence Luo Zhen’s eldest son.

From Luo Shang to Luo Zhen, the Luo family has always been responsible for trade matters. Even now, Luo Zhen is the deputy master of the Tianquan Tower, mainly in charge of commerce and trade, and many descendants of the Luo family hold positions in Tianquan Tower.

But Luo Bo, as the eldest grandson of the Luo family, did not go into trade, because early on, he was arranged to be beside Yang Chengye, following him in the Chongshan Town military. Later, when Yang Chengye raised his army and established his country, Luo Bo always stayed by his side.

Even when Yang Chengye came to the Spirit Source Land, Luo Bo stayed with him.

Not just him, but also Song Jie, Lu Miaoheng, Zhou Shang’an, and others; they all form the core of Yang Chengye’s team.

Now, their cultivation has all reached the Heavenly Gang Stage, although they’re only at the entry-level of it, their strength is already quite formidable.

"Haha, my nephew has a bit of a problem, let’s go help him solve it!"

Yang Chengye laughed.

Then, he took the group to the Receiving Hall, where he received nine Jade Tokens, and then went along with Yang Qinting to the small courtyard in Green Jade City.

"Greetings, Young Master!" Zhang Cheng quickly bowed when he saw Yang Chengye arrive.

"Haha, no need for such formality, Uncle Zhang!" Yang Chengye hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Zhang Cheng was one of Yang Zhenshan’s personal followers back in the day. Though those twenty personal followers have since spread out and no longer accompany Yang Zhenshan, their status in the Yang family remains high.

Yang Mingcheng and his three brothers call them brothers, while Yang Chengye’s generation even calls them uncles.

Calling them uncle is certainly not an injustice, as the third generation of the Yang family, except for the younger Yang Chengyu and Yang Cheng’an, all trained under them.

Back when Yang Zhenshan was still in Da Rong’s Capital City, Yang Chengye used to lead a group of brothers to train at the camp outside the city, where they were trained by Zhang Cheng and others.

"Have those people come over?" Yang Chengye asked.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "They came, but they didn’t approach, just watching from the street across!"

During the time Yang Qinting was off to the Spirit Source Land, Zhang Cheng wasn’t idle and had already gotten a good sense of the situation outside.

"How many of them are there?"

"Six! All Martial Artists at the Heavenly Gang Stage!"

"Haha, deploying six Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists to deal with a junior; the Wang family is really shameless!" Yang Chengye said coldly.

Yang Qinting is just a junior who only recently entered the Innate realm; there’s no need for six Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists to deal with him.

"Their target may not be just Young Master Qinting!" Zhang Cheng said.

"Oh? What else are they planning to do?"

"They might be targeting our Yang family!"

Yang Chengye pondered; employing six Heavenly Gang Stage Martial Artists against Yang Qinting is excessive, but why would they deploy so much power?

Could it be because their subordinates were too idle and needed to be taken out for some fresh air?

Yang Qinting is a member of the Yang family, and the Yang family is one of the Twelve Families now, having made quite a name for themselves in the Sea of Spirit these past years.

"It seems this matter is going to escalate!" Yang Chengye smirked slightly.
