Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1827: Chapter 1104: Seeking Refuge and Acceptance

The Yang Family Blessed Land, inside the Bamboo Creek Pavilion.

Yang Zhenshan is meeting with Master Jing Shui. The Unpredictable Ghost Sect has invaded the Yunxiao Mountain Range, and the Sea of Spirit has naturally also received the news. Although they received the news the latest, they were the first to arrive.

In the tranquil bamboo building, the two sat opposite each other at the tea table, with Lin Pingyang on the side serving tea and water.

Lin Pingyang is Lin Zhan’s fourth-generation grandson, and he is also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He is currently stationed at the Yang Family Blessed Land.

”True Monarch, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect is coming fiercely, what should we do?” Master Jing Shui asked directly, without any pleasantries.

Yang Zhenshan sipped his tea lightly, his expression solemn.

He had known for a long time that the Unpredictable Ghost Sect was mobilizing ghost soldier armies towards the eastern part of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, and he had also been considering how to face the Unpredictable Ghost Sect’s attack on the Yunxiao Mountain Range.

To be honest, he didn’t have any way.

With the current power of White Jade City, it was far from being able to confront the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Even with the addition of Hidden Sword Mountain and Cangyu Mountain, they were not a match for the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

More importantly, Yang Zhenshan currently did not want to confront the Unpredictable Ghost Sect directly. The opponent of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect should be the Wanhua Demon Court, and they absolutely could not become the cannon fodder for the Wanhua Demon Court again.

”There are two paths: either migrate westward, or~”

He paused and said, ”Or join the Yang family!”

Migrating westward needs no explanation—the west of the Sea of Spirit was once the Great Fortune Dynasty. After its demise, three dynasties were formed, and after a hundred years of turmoil, a tripartite balance was eventually established.

In that region, although there are some spirit veins, the quality of the spirit veins is low, and there aren’t many Blessed Lands.

Moreover, the population there consists mainly of ordinary people and martial artists, with almost no cultivators.

The Unpredictable Ghost Sect will definitely not go there.

Actually, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect probably won’t conduct a massacre at the Sea of Spirit, because the population there consists mainly of ordinary people and martial artists, with few cultivators.

Even if the Unpredictable Ghost Sect wants to occupy the Sea of Spirit, they won’t conduct a massacre there.

Remember, one of the five bans of the Heavenly Constitution Road is to prohibit senseless slaughter.

Transforming earth veins, altering the environment of spiritual energy, and even wanton slaughtering demon beasts and mutant beasts in the Wanhua Mountain Range are all fine, but the Unpredictable Ghost Sect will not massacre ordinary people.

The so-called prohibition on senseless slaughter is actually to prohibit the massacre of ordinary people, because ordinary people are the foundation of Immortal Cultivation. Killing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Immortal Cultivators won’t change much in the Wanhua Domain.

But if several million ordinary people, or even more, are slaughtered, then the Immortal Cultivation World in the Wanhua Domain will decline.

After all, most Spiritual Acupoints are born from ordinary people, not from those of the Immortal Clan or Immortal Cultivation families.

The ordinary people in the Sea of Spirit won’t be slaughtered, but the martial artists and cultivators might not be so lucky.

Therefore, once the Unpredictable Ghost Sect wants to occupy the Sea of Spirit, the Xuanqing Sect and the Illusion Moon Sect must leave.

In fact, Yang Zhenshan doesn’t care about the Sea of Spirit. To be brutally honest, the current Sea of Spirit is not worthy of his attention.

However, migration of the population from the Sea of Spirit to the Spirit Source Land is not out of the question.

Yang Zhenshan’s pause was due to hesitating whether the Spirit Source Land should accept the population from the Sea of Spirit.

Master Jing Shui listened to Yang Zhenshan’s hesitation but was very resolute as he said, ”I am willing to join the Yang family, and request True Monarch to shelter us!”

He stood up, his expression solemn, and bowed.

Yang Zhenshan waved his sleeve, and an invisible force lifted him up.

”Our Yang family has its own rules. Once you join the Yang family, there will be no Xuanqing Sect or Illusion Moon Sect anymore!”

Master Jing Shui replied, ”I understand; those who wish to come can come, and those who don’t, may go their way!”

Yang Zhenshan chuckled lightly, ”You are quite carefree!”

Master Jing Shui said, ”At my age, I naturally don’t care about such things anymore!”

When he first met Yang Zhenshan years ago, he was nearly three hundred years old, and now he’s over four hundred and fifty, which means his lifespan is only a few decades more.

He no longer cares about other things; now he only wants to find a future path for his descendants.

As for the choice of the Illusion Moon Sect, that’s the matter of the Illusion Moon Sect itself.

”Hmm, go back now. Those who wish to come should do so quickly. I estimate it won’t be long before the Unpredictable Ghost Sect will come knocking at the Yang family’s door!” Yang Zhenshan said.

”Understood, I’ll make the arrangements now!”

Master Jing Shui acknowledged and got up to leave.

He hadn’t even walked out of the bamboo building when someone came to report, ”To inform the True Monarch, there are people from Qingli Immortal City seeking an audience at the mountain gate. The visitor claims to be Yun Fan!”

Yang Zhenshan furrowed his brow slightly, ”Invite him in!”

Why is Yun Fan coming to see him?

Could it be that they also want to rely on him?

It might not be impossible!

A moment later, Yun Fan came to the Bamboo Creek Pavilion, ”White Cloud Disciple Yun Fan pays respects to Yang Zhenjun!”

”Come and sit,” Yang Zhenshan said casually.

Yun Fan bowed respectfully and sat in front of Yang Zhenshan. He glanced at the freshly washed tea set, his heart moved, understanding that someone had just left.

”Speak of your business,” Yang Zhenshan said.

Yun Fan kept his head lowered and said respectfully, ”The Unpredictable Ghost Sect is coming fiercely, and we ask True Monarch to protect us!”

”Protect you!” Yang Zhenshan glanced at him and shook his head slightly, ”I cannot protect you!”

He certainly can’t withstand the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, and naturally cannot protect Yun Fan.

The only choice for protection is to join White Jade City. But after joining, White Cloud Dao would cease to exist.

It’s not that its heritage would be lost; White Cloud Dao can still continue in the Life Realm Immortal Palace, but the future inheritance would be of Cultivation Techniques, not Dao heritage.
