Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1007: Chapter 705: Return to Divine Wood Island

Looking at the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus, Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi finally left the Spiritual Spring Space and returned to the Marquis Jing’an Mansion.

As soon as they returned to the Marquis Jing’an Mansion, they received the news of a great victory in the north.

Yu Qingyi went to the backyard while Yang Zhenshan sat in the study listening to Li Chang’s report.

”Just now, someone from the Imperial City relayed the message that Chongshan Town has already wiped out the Tatar and Chi Ci tribes, while Beiyuan Town has also destroyed the Wanggu Tribe. Currently, the army of Chongshan Town is marching westward intending to attack Yemi City, and the army of Beiyuan Town is heading towards the Kerelie Tribe!”

Li Chang roughly described the situation in the Northern region.

After listening, Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly. The annihilation of the Tatar, Chi Ci, and Wanggu tribes was an expected outcome. If Yang Mingzhi and Song Dashan didn’t have this capability, they would have wasted their lives.

However, the timing was faster than Yang Zhenshan anticipated.

”How was Kuku City breached?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

He naturally knew about Kuku City and the difficulty of breaching it.

Li Chang replied, ”The specifics are unknown, but it should have been the Second Young Master leading the archers for a strong assault!”

There was no shortcut to attacking Kuku City, only direct confrontation. For others, it would require a slow grind, but with archers, it could be slightly easier.

Yang Zhenshan merely inquired without being overly concerned about the situation in Kuku City.

”What about Longbei side? What’s the situation there now?”

”No news has come back, so presumably, there has been no decisive outcome yet!”

Zhou Lan faces the greatest pressure there, but given Zhou Lan’s capability, holding off the Wuliang Royal Court’s attack for a short time should not be difficult.

Now that the Tatar, Wanggu, and Chi Ci tribes have been annihilated, the Wuliang Royal Court’s army is likely very hard to maintain.

The armies of the Tatar, Wanggu, and Chi Ci tribes would certainly not want to remain at Longbei Town, as they surely wish to return to rescue their tribesmen.

And the Kerelie Tribe likely can’t stay put either; they must return to reinforce their flag territory, Bayandelei City.

As for Wu Tuo, he’s probably really frustrated at this point.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard and thought for a moment; the northern and western fronts of the Da’an New Dynasty seem stabilized now.

The Wuliang Royal Court’s army is once again on the verge of collapse, and the Da Yue Dynasty likely cannot breach the defenses of Suzhou Town and Tingzhou Town.

Sun Yunbo’s army from Anxi Town is campaigning against the Da Yue Dynasty. While they may not annihilate the Da Yue Dynasty, they should resolve the crisis at Suzhou Town and Tingzhou Town.

In this way, the problems in the west and north are no longer issues, leaving only Chen Hengchang.

Chen Hengchang and the Divine Sun Sect!

Yang Zhenshan truly doesn’t see them as a threat.

The Divine Sun Sect may seem powerful, but it is actually a paper tiger.

Although the Spirit Continuation Blood Refining Skill is a shortcut in training, it’s not an easy path, with too many flaws and limitations.

Even with this shortcut, the Divine Sun Sect cannot contend against the Da’an New Dynasty.

Although the Da’an New Dynasty is still in a stage of renewal and rebuilding, with the stabilization of the northern and western fronts, the Da’an New Dynasty’s situation will also stabilize.

As long as the Da’an New Dynasty can stabilize, Chen Hengchang and the Divine Sun Sect are nothing more than a flock of headless chickens.

In the past, Da Rong was able to drive the Divine Sun Sect into hiding like moles in their burrows, and now Da’an can do the same, even better than Da Rong.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment, feeling that the Da’an New Dynasty no longer required his concern; he could return to Divine Wood Island.

Having been away for so long, it was time to go back and take a look.

”Go prepare; in a few days, we’ll return to Divine Wood Island!”

”Yes!” Li Chang responded.

Before leaving Da’an, Yang Zhenshan had a few tasks to take care of. They weren’t anything significant; he mainly wanted to chat with fellow Innate Martial Artists, asking them to look out for the Da’an New Dynasty.

Why did the Da Rong Court end in such a scattered state? Wasn’t it because the royal family lost the support of the Innate Martial Artists?

And why did the Innate Martial Artists distance themselves from the Da Rong royal family? Wasn’t it because the Da Rong royal family failed to maintain good relations with them?

Innate Martial Artists are also social beings.

At a minimum, these formalities must be maintained, right?

Offering a bit more respect and face, sitting together occasionally for drinks or tea and chatting a bit—this also constitutes social bonds.

If you don’t even have these basic ties, how can you expect others to help you?

Of course, these are just matters of face and relations, but the key lies in interests and the situation.

The situation with Da Rong had deteriorated beyond repair, which made it impossible for the royal family to manage interest distribution, resulting in the alienation of the Innate Martial Artists from Da Rong.

Yang Zhenshan would not interfere in the governance of the Da’an New Dynasty, but he would assist in fostering ties with the Innate Martial Artists.

With his support, the Da’an New Dynasty gained the backing of numerous Innate Martial Artists.

Zhang Luan, Jian Chengfeng, An Yuxing, Lv Hua, and others could quickly integrate into the Da’an New Dynasty, all thanks to his efforts.

In the following days, Yang Zhenshan practically visited households one by one, either inviting them for drinks or on his way to invite them.

He even made a special trip to Cui Xia Valley to have a good drink with some old friends stationed there.

Very soon, it was October, and the northern war reports were once again delivered; the Wuliang army at Longbei Town had suffered another defeat, with Zhou Lan leading fifty thousand troops out of the border to pursue them, joining forces with the army of Beiyuan Town at Bayandelei City to begin besieging it.
