Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1175: Chapter 785: Nanxia County Under Attack (Part 2)

The reason for such secret rules is to have someone attack the workshop.

Because each workshop has at least six families involved, whoever attacks a workshop offends six families, not just one.

As for the industry of the three major sects, they mostly concentrate in large workshops, like those in county city martial cultivator workshops, while no such industry exists in county town martial cultivator workshops.

Of course, no matter how many families have industries in Nanxia County’s martial cultivator workshop, if it gets attacked, the greatest loss still falls on the Lu family.

”Quickly go to Nanqing Mountain for assistance!” Although Lu Jianghua was burning with rage, he hadn’t lost his rationality.

Even though Lan Peng had gone to Yu Mountain Town for several years, the Red Flame Army remained stationed on Nanqing Mountain.

No matter who’s causing chaos, as long as the Red Flame Army arrives in time, they will surely wipe out those thugs.

In fact, there’s no need for him to send people to inform them, as the Red Flame Army on Nanqing Mountain already knows the county town is under attack due to the raging fire that lights up the night sky visible from dozens of miles away.

...

On Lingxi Mountain.

Wang Lei hurried to the main house, standing outside the room and called in a deep voice, ”Family Head!”

Yang Zhenshan, who was cultivating on the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, heard the call, frowned slightly, and within a thought, appeared in the bedroom.

Although he and Yu Qingyi had come to Lingxi Mountain, they would return to the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau to cultivate at night.

”What’s the matter?” Yang Zhenshan walked out of the bedroom and asked.

If there was nothing wrong, Wang Lei definitely wouldn’t disturb him in the dead of night.

”Something serious seems to have happened in the county town, the fire is very large!” Wang Lei said solemnly.

Yang Zhenshan stepped out of the house, gazing toward the direction of the county town, indeed seeing the raging fire lighting up the night sky.

Suddenly, Yang Zhenshan recalled the few disguised martial artists he saw while leaving the city during the day.

”Where’s Xiang Heng?”

”They’re already waiting in the front yard!”

”Get all the clansmen outside to retreat back home!” Yang Zhenshan said.

He wasn’t sure of the situation in the county town, so he wouldn’t easily provide aid, even though he had a good relationship with the Lu family, it wasn’t to the point of abandoning the Lingxi Yang Family to help Lu Jianghua.

Moreover, since the other party dared to attack Nanxia County, they must be fully prepared.

During the day, he saw a Heavenly Gang stage martial artist and five Earth Evil stage martial artists. The opponent surely has more than these six, possibly many Heavenly Gang stage martial artists.

Not knowing the situation, he couldn’t rashly act.

Compared to the county town’s situation, he’s more concerned about affecting the Lingxi Yang Family.

The Lingxi Yang Family’s strength is not considered strong; counting everyone, they only have seven innate martial artists, including outsiders like Wang Lei and Tian Hu.

In the current chaotic situation, it is not wise to further disperse people; better to summon everyone back.

The Yang family’s industry lies around Lingxi Mountain, with the furthest being only twenty miles away from Lingxi Mountain.

After two hours, most clansmen outside were recalled.

In the ancestral home’s front yard, Yang Family gathered together, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

Yang Zhenshan sat solemnly at the main position in the hall, Wang Lei stood behind him, Yang Xiangheng, Yang Xiangdong, Yang Xiangxi, Yang Xiangyang, and Yang Xiangwu sat below him, with Tian Hu sitting at the last position.

Tian Hu was the only retainer in the Lingxi Yang Family, and he had been living quite steadily with the Yang Family over the years, while Prince Ji’s heir Wei Qianye also grew up, though now he’s no longer Prince Ji’s heir, but merely Tian Hu’s disciple.

”Report, Red Flame Army has already marched out, heading to the county town for backup!” A Yang family member ran in to report.

Yang Xiangheng lowered his head in thought for a while, then said, ”Uncle Ancestor, with Red Flame Army intervening, the county town should be fine, right?”

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly, ”Not necessarily, since the opponent has acted, they surely are fully prepared, not neglecting the presence of Red Flame Army!”

”We still don’t know the opponent’s purpose. If they aim to loot wealth from workshops, they’re likely to retreat before Red Flame Army arrives, but if their aim is different, then Red Flame Army could be in grave danger!”

The Red Flame Army is an elite force; despite numbering only two thousand, their combat ability is immensely strong.

But that’s compared to ordinary innate martial artists. If they face a group of Heavenly Gang stage martial artists, then the Red Flame Army will be nothing but lambs to the slaughter.

Both being innate martial artists, the gap between Heavenly Gang stage and Qi Sea stage is enormous.

Moreover, most of the Red Flame Army soldiers are at the postnatal seventh or eighth layer cultivation, their individual strength actually not that strong.

Just requiring seven or eight Heavenly Gang stage martial artists can rout the two thousand Red Flame Army.

”Uncle Ancestor, does this mean the Red Flame Army is at risk of total annihilation?” Yang Xiangdong said worriedly.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t answer; he merely took a sip of tea.

Yang Xiangxi couldn’t help but say, ”Uncle Ancestor, should we go to assist the Red Flame Army?”

”Why should we assist the Red Flame Army?” Yang Zhenshan looked up at him.

Yang Xiangxi was stunned, ”The Red Flame Army is under General Lan’s command, they...”

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly, ”I have some connections with Lan Peng, but understand that the Red Flame Army belongs to the Lu family, not Lan Peng.”

”Also, we owe nothing to the Lu family; on the contrary, they still owe me a favor!”

Whether it’s Nanxia County or Red Flame Army, those are matters of the Lu family.
