Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1453 - 915: Your Grandfather Is the Master Here!

In Jade City, there are three guards: the Jade Central Guard, the Jade Left Guard, and the Jade Rear Guard.

Initially, each guard in Jade City had only two thousand members. Later, each guard expanded to three thousand members, totaling nine thousand troops.

The responsibility of the three guards in Jade City is to manage the external wars of the Spirit Source Land. However, since the formation of the three guards in Jade City, there has never been any external war in Spirit Source Land, so the only task of the guards these years has been to garrison Yang Family Town.

But Yang Family Town has only been guarded by two hundred soldiers at most, even if these two hundred soldiers rotate once a year, most of the soldiers of the Jade City three guards have still never left Spirit Source Land.

The existence of the Jade City three guards seems meaningless, yet Spirit Source Land not only retains their structure but has also expanded it.

Because everyone understands the principle that maintaining troops for a thousand days is for their use at a crucial moment.

Ziwei Tower, study room.

”Second brother, let’s deploy the troops. Those Immortal Cultivators are too vicious. They don’t dare to attack Yang Family Town, yet they embolden themselves by slaughtering the small families near Yang Family Town. If this continues, the profits of Yang Family Town will also be harmed!”

Yang Chengzhang stood in front of Yang Chengmao, speaking angrily.

The situation in the Sea of Spirit is chaotic, and the interests of the Yang family are bound to suffer.

Nevertheless, that’s a matter for the future. As of now, the profits from the Yang family in the Sea of Spirit have not only not decreased, but have increased significantly.

At the start of the chaos, prices for all sorts of materials have soared, from spiritual weapons to elixirs, spirit rice to herbs and so on. Anything useful for cultivation, any resource that can enhance combat power has seen its price rising.

Thus, over the past month or so, the profits from the Yang family in the Sea of Spirit have been growing tremendously.

Of course, this tremendous growth is only temporary. Once the chaos expands, the interests of the Yang family will inevitably suffer damage.

Moreover, Yang Family Town is not only the Yang family’s stronghold in the Sea of Spirit but also a prosperous Martial Cultivator workshop.

More than half of the goods from the Spirit Source Land are circulated from Yang Family Town. If the surroundings of Yang Family Town become unstable, it will definitely affect the prosperity of Yang Family Town.

Yang Chengzhang is different from others. Others might not care about Yang Family Town, but Yang Chengzhang cannot afford to neglect it, since he built Yang Family Town with his own hands.

Since the Yang family settled in Yang Family Town, it has always been under his control, now for nearly forty years.

Throughout these nearly forty years, he has been managing Yang Family Town, transforming it from a desolate place into a thriving town.

It could be said that Yang Family Town is his lifeblood, and he absolutely would not allow anyone to ruin the efforts of nearly forty years.

Yang Chengmao leaned against the chairback, his fingers interlocked on the desk, a faint aura of authority emanated from his body.

”Fifth brother, this matter concerns not only Yang Family Town but the entire Sea of Spirit!”

”The current situation is uncertain. We should not rush into any action!”

As the person in charge of Spirit Source Land, Yang Chengmao must consider not only the issue of Yang Family Town but also the impact of the situation in the Sea of Spirit on Spirit Source Land.

According to the news from the Secret Martial Guards during this time, the current chaos in Spirit Source Land is not only caused by those Loose Cultivators, but also by many factions that have started infiltrating Spirit Source Land.

Some Loose Cultivators are even secretly supported by certain factions.

”But should we just let them destroy the promising situation we’ve painstakingly built over the decades!” Yang Chengzhang protested.

Yang Chengmao’s fingers tapped the table.

At this moment, he was also deeply conflicted, unable to make a decision.

Not just him, even the elders in the council hall were constantly debating. Some felt they should proactively strike, while others believed they should first observe the changes carefully, and yet others thought they should step back and wait for the opportune moment.

In short, how to respond to the situation in the Sea of Spirit wasn’t decided at Ziwei Tower.

At that moment, a report came from outside.

”Reporting to the City Lord, Yang Family Town sent word that Lan Peng from the Lan family seeks to meet the ancestor.”

”Lan Peng!”

Yang Chengmao immediately recalled information regarding Lan Peng.

Although he hadn’t met Lan Peng, he knew that Lan Peng had quite a connection with Yang Zhenshan.

”I understand! First, send word to Senior An to receive Senior Lan Peng properly.”

Saying this, he looked at Yang Chengzhang again, ”Fourth brother, why don’t you go back first? I’ll ask Grandpa!”

Yang Chengzhang said somewhat reluctantly, ”Second brother, you must keep this matter in mind.”

Yang Chengmao was speechless for a moment, ”Can I not keep this matter in mind? Get out of here quickly!”

Yang Chengzhang pouted, ”Then I’ll take my leave!”

Having said that, he got up and left the study.

Yang Chengmao watched his back, shaking his head somewhat helplessly.

Sitting in this position is really difficult, everything needs his attention.

Exhausting both mind and body, yet not garnering any appreciation.

Yang Chengzhang obviously has dissatisfaction towards him, but what can he do?

This matter can’t be decided rashly.

Shaking his head to discard these random thoughts, he turned and left the study, flying toward the Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau.

As he flew, he pondered the purpose of Lan Peng’s visit to his grandfather.

If the Lan family is also seeking assistance, things will be even harder to handle.

No idea if his grandfather will agree.

The Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau remained the same, tranquil as ever.

The gentle mountain breeze swept over the lush orchards, bamboo groves, and lakes, carrying waves of calm serenity.

”Greetings, Aunt Qingxia!”

Yang Chengmao arrived at the front of the villa, coincidentally meeting Qingxia coming out from inside.

”Second Young Master is here, please come in!” Qingxia, holding several thumb-thick branches, said with a smile.
