Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1900 - 1137: Counting the Family’s Assets

Yue Yao seemed a bit helpless, "Then how does the venerable intend to proceed?"

Yang Zhenshan stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "We are not familiar with the Northern and Southern Domains, so there’s no need to muddle with it. The situation is too complicated, and we are too small to get involved!"

"Therefore, my target is the Wanhua Mountain Range!"

"Establish the foundation of White Jade City in the Wanhua Mountain Range and incorporate it into the territory of White Jade City!"

He also wanted the Wanhua Mountain Range because it has enough resources to nourish the Life Realm Immortal Palace.

"The Wanhua Mountain Range? Are we going to confront the Unpredictable Ghost Sect?" Lin Qihe’s expression shook as he spoke.

"Exactly! The Unpredictable Ghost Sect can be considered our old foe, and it’s time to settle the score!" A hint of coldness flashed in Yang Zhenshan’s eyes.

His grievances with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect have a long history, from Mo Xuanyu to Zhang Mo, to An Wusheng. Although he often had the upper hand, the battle at True Yang Immortal City cost Spirit Source Land dearly.

Yang Zhenshan has always kept this account in mind.

Lin Qihe felt a bit tempted; his grudge with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect was the deepest, with enmity that could not coexist under one sky due to the annihilation of his clan.

However, his reason prevailed as he said, "The Unpredictable Ghost Sect is powerful, we might not be their match!"

"Indeed, we might not be their match, but it’s not as if we have no fighting power! Besides, it’s not like we plan to fight them to the death immediately!" Yang Zhenshan said.

He had already learned about the situation during the fall of the Wanhua Demon Court.

At that time, both sides were locked in a war of attrition in the Wanhua Mountain Range for several months, and only after the Wanhua Demon Emperor’s Tree-man Army was exhausted did the Wanhua Demon Court fall.

In this war of attrition, although the Unpredictable Ghost Sect achieved victory, they also paid a significant price.

At this moment, the Wanhua Mountain Range still has a mountain of corpses—no, it isn’t a mountain, but a corpse wall stretching for thousands of miles.

A corpse wall built from the bodies of Flower Soldier Tree Men and Yin Soldier Blood Puppets.

Thousands of miles long, thousands of zhang high, composed of billions of corpses.

According to Yang Zhenshan’s estimation, there are at least two hundred million Yin Soldier Blood Puppet corpses there.

No matter how deep the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s foundation is, facing such horrific casualties, it couldn’t come out unscathed.

Moreover, considering the Golden Core Cultivators the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has lost over the years, although still powerful, it should not be as formidable as before.

White Jade City might not yet surpass the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, but the gap between them is no longer insurmountable.

"Has the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s Yin Soldier Army entered the southern part of the Wanhua Mountain Range?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"They should have just entered; it’s unclear exactly where they are!" Xuanzhen replied.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, "Then we’ll act as an obstacle, first blocking them from taking over the entire Wanhua Mountain Range!"

Directly confronting the Unpredictable Ghost Sect head-on, White Jade City currently cannot match the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

However, if it’s just to serve as an obstacle, White Jade City can certainly do that.

His idea is simple: first occupy a piece of land in the southern Wanhua Mountain Range, then block the Yin Soldier Army from moving south.

At this time, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has already taken over most of the Wanhua Mountain Range; as they need to build White Bone Pillars all over, the Yin Soldiers will be dispersed. Combined with their casualties from the war of attrition, the number of Yin Soldiers moving south won’t be too many.

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s occupation of most of the Wanhua Mountain Range is their victory, but also their greatest weakness.

The region is too vast, requiring significant forces to control.

Don’t assume that because the Wanhua Demon Court has fallen, there’s no resistance left in the Wanhua Mountain Range.

The Wanhua Mountain Range stretches nearly one hundred thousand miles north to south, with countless deep forests and hidden places, harboring innumerable demon beasts and mutant beasts, and many hidden cultivators.

Though some of the Demon Clan fled upon hearing the news, in reality, many demon beasts remain unaware of the situation and have stayed in the Wanhua Mountain Range.

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s current occupation of the Wanhua Mountain Range is only superficial, and they have not yet cleared out the remaining forces in the mountains.

"Now let’s evaluate the forces we can deploy!"

Yang Zhenshan needed to assess his resources; with unavoidable wars ahead, he needed to know how much power he could marshal.

"Xuanzhen, first tell us about the Divine Generals!"

"We currently have eight thousand Divine Generals, all of whom have already cultivated the Golden Light Divine Spell," Xuanzhen grinned, "They are the nemesis of the Yin Soldier Blood Puppets!"

Although the number of Divine Generals is small, they are immortal entities. As long as the Unpredictable Ghost Sect doesn’t invade the Spirit Origin Land, they won’t die in battle.

Even if they are slain outside, they can be reborn in twenty or thirty years.

Of course, they are not invincible.

While they can be reborn, raising their power again requires time and resources.

Regarding Xuanzhen’s claim that they are the nemesis of the Yin Soldier Blood Puppets, it’s not just boasting.

The Golden Light Divine Spell is the foundation of the eight divine spells; since the Divine Generals have cultivated it, they can also cultivate the Purify Heaven and Earth Divine Spell.

Once they master the Purify Heaven and Earth Divine Spell, they are indeed the bane of the Yin Soldier Blood Puppets.

Eight thousand Divine Generals against billions of Yin Soldier Blood Puppets almost seems negligible.

But the forces cannot be compared like that; first, the Divine Generals have strength equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while the Blood Puppets are at most Golden Body Realm Martial Artists, and only the Yin Soldiers among the army can truly contend with the Divine Generals.
