Chapter 140 - Punishment
The Jinyu County was not as sparsely populated as the Mengyu County, with a large field to cultivate in. It was also not as densely populated as the Chenyu County, with abundant spirit materials and minerals, and was located between the two counties, Cheng Yu and Meng Yu. The terrain was narrow and it was the smallest county amongst the six counties in the Yuxian.
When the Chenyu County and the Mengyu County were in an uproar because of the county magistrate’s dismissal, the Jinyu County welcomed an even bigger storm. Jinyu County’s only powerful family, the Changsun Family, had ‘expelled’ the new Heaven-Shaken Sect’s realms of life County Magistrate Zhu Duo Rong!
“I understand, the Heaven-Shaken Sect is trying to use my Changsun Family as a chicken to scare the other monkeys!”
The only Adept Realm Cultivator in Changsun Family, the clan elder Sun Xiu witead full of white hair and a ruddy complexion, and the clan leader Sun Qi sat shoulder to shoulder in the ancestral hall, speaking to the dozen or so clan Martial Realm Cultivator s below them in a heavy tone.
“Hmph, that day, I accompanied Grandfather when he came to ask Grandfather for the diagram of the great magnetic light protective formation. Grandfather naturally rejected it, and Zhu Bandong said that Grandfather did not place this county magistrate in his eyes, grandfather had only argued with him for a few sentences, then that person shattered the table, and even hung Grandfather’s most beloved pair of siblings in the hall to death. Grandfather was so angry that he handed oveand and sent this person flying out of the hall.”
Although the cultivation of the Martial Realm Cultivator s in the ancestral hall was at the bottom of the list, they were still at the very front of the list. It was obvious that they had an extremely high status in the Changsun Family s.
He then heard the young man say angrily: “Who would have thought that Zhu Ba Rong would actually anger Master Grandfather on purpose. After leaving the Changsun Family, he said that Master Grandfather did not wish for him to become the Jinyu County Order, and even made a move to expel him. He was no match for Grandfather, and had no shame to stay in the Jinyu County, and immediately left!”
“This is Heaven-Shaken Sect’s conspiracy!”
“The magnetic light Great Formation is a great protective formation of our Changsun Family, how can the array blueprint for the formation be handed over to outsiders? Moreover, this formation was originally constructed by the patriarcundred years ago when he asked the array master of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Now, the Heaven-Shaken Sect is asking us for the formation map.
The moment the youth finished speaking, many Changsun Family cultivators in the Ancestral Hall started shouting out in anger, but there were some who remained silent with worry.
He then said: “Today, the three Spiritual Masters Qing Mu, Zhu Ba Rong and Cang Wu, have led dozens of Heaven-Shaken Sect s into the Jinyu County, and are heading towards us. This is to completely destroy my Changsun Family, hehe, and is also to use my Changsun Family aool to intimidate the strong and unruly clans of the other five counties.”
The Changsun Family cultivators in the Ancestral Hall were in an uproar, many of them had turned pale with fright. Three Adept Realm Cultivatond dozens of Martial Realm Cultivator s, this kind of power was not something that Changsun Family could withstand.
The current Patriarch Sun Qi who was sitting beside Zhangsun Xiu suddenly snorted coldly and stood up: “Right now, my Changsun Family can be said to be at a moment of life and death, a time where everyone has the same mind and will work together. If there is anyone else with different thoughts, then my Changsun Family will not be far from the annihilation of our clan!”
As the only expert at the peak of the fifth stage of martial arts realm in Changsun Family, Zhangsun Qi’s prestige in the clan was only second to Zhangsun Xiu.
Just then, a cultivator from the Changsun Family shouted: “This time Heaven-Shaken Sect has clearly come prepared, our Changsun Family is in imminent danger, it’s nothing much for us to die in battle, but the Changsun Family cannot be destroyed, as there were people from the Tan Xi Sect and the Sirius Gate who came here a few days ago, I wonder if we can evacuate the younger generation of the first, if all of us die, my Changsun Family will not die!”
The eldest grandson Xiu stood up and said, “Sirius Gate is unreliable. All the children of the third generation are evacuated to Tan Xi County and when that happens, there will be people from Tan Xi Sect coming to help. The rest will follow me and fight against the people from Heaven-Shaken Sect.”
Zhangsun Qi hurriedly stood up, and said: “Second uncle, it’s better if I stay here to cut off the rear. Our Changsun Family cannot leave you!”
Zhangsun Xiu said with a smile, “You? You can block the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s three great Adept Realm Cultivator’s? Although the magnetic light Great Formation is powerful, it still depends on who has control over it. If we cannot stop it, the Heaven-Shaken Sect will chase after us and when that time comes, our Changsun Family will be exterminated! ”
Elder Sun Xiu turned around and said to the people in the Ancestral House, “All of you go back and settle down your wives and daughters. Later, get them to leave through the magnetic mountain passage. Patriarch and Xing’er will stay!”
Everyone hurriedly left the ancestral home, leaving the clan leader Sun Qi and the previously generous young man by his side.
Seeing that everyone had left, the eldest grandson Xiu had two more scrolls of map and one storage bag. He handed the large scrolls of map to Zhangsun Qi, and the small scrolls of map and storage bag to young Zhang Sunxing.
Seeing the duo’s doubtful expression, Zhangsun Xiu said: “My Changsun Family has been around for hundreds of years, so naturally I know the logic behind the Three Mystical Caves, but unfortunately, this old man is not kind, and caused my Changsun Family to suffer such a great catastrophe. I am ashamed of my ancestors, and these two scrolls record the nine secret treasure troves that the Changsun Family had constructed over the centuries, and the big scrolls records the six secret treasure troves in Jinyu, Mengyu and Chenyu counties, and the small scrolls records the three treasure troves in Zhang County and Tan Xi County.
Then, he gave the storage bag to Zhang Sunxing as well, and said: “Throughout the three generations of Changsun Family, only you, Xing’er, have the possibility of becoming a realms of life master in the future. Sigh, it’s also because this old man was incompetent, causing my Changsun Family to never cultivate a Adept Realm Cultivator, that made that Heaven-Shaken Sect choose to harm my Changsun Family.”
Zhang Sunxing said fiercely: “Grandfather, in the future, when I advance to the realms of life, this hatred will definitely be repaid to the entire Heaven-Shaken Sect!”
“Alright!” You know how to endure, this makes grandfather very pleased. This storage bag is something Grandfather prepared for you to cultivate in the future, especially after you advance to the realms of life, there are many things that you can use. ”
Just as Changsun Family was about to mobilize all over the place, under the leadership of the three Adept Realm Cultivator s, Qing Mu, Zhu Bajun and Cangwu, the cultivators of Heaven-Shaken Sect had already encircled the mountain from three different directions.
As the last disciple of the Adept Qing Shu, Zhang Yueming deliberately followed his teacher to the Jinyu County. Now, he was standing behind his teacher as he looked down from the clouds at the Changsun Family encampment.
“This Changsun Family has always been a distance away from the control of the remote sects in the city, colluding with Tan Xi Sect and Sirius Gate, secretly dealing with each other, they have almost managed to turn this Jinyu County into their Changsun Family Clan’s private land!”
Adept Qing Shu stood at the top of the clouds like a fairy, and explained to the disciples behind him: “This time, he’s even more arrogant, your Junior Master Zhu is under the Jinyu County’s orders, he personally came to persuade you, but his words somewhat exposed the undercurrents of Changsun Family’s actions, which made that Senior Sun Xiu, that old ghost, angry from embarrassment.
Zhang Yueming said from behind him: “This eldest grandson is indeed extremely arrogant. The entire Yuxian is under the rule of my Heaven-Shaken Sect, and this Jinyu County is the kingdom of his eldest grandson. This wind cannot be prolonged, if not, where is the foundation of my Heaven-Shaken Sect? However, would the sect’s grand display of force against the Zhangsun clan alarm them? ”
Adept Qing Shu nodded his head in satisfaction, and said: “How could the sect not know that suching exists in the other five counties. That Wang Qian tried all means to get the Chenyu County Medallion, but was boycotted by the two families of Ma and Sun, and cannot leave the county. Junior Brother Chen Ji’s three months in office in the Mengyu County, was even more unimpressive, and many people in the Mengyu County did not even know of the existence of the County Official Chen Medallion!”
This time, we are going to make an example of them and intimidate the various large and small families and powers in the other five counties, letting them know who the real master of the Yuxian is. If they continue to be this stubborn, then the future of the Changsun Family will be their future!
Zhang Yueming could not help but say: “It’s just that the various great clans and powers in Yuxian have been doing business for a long time, and their interests are closely related to each other. Even if they are intimidated by the Changsun Family, I’m afraid they can still give up the majority of the benefits they had!”
The Adept Qing Shu sighed, then turned and said worriedly, “That’s right, the Heaven-Shaken Sect is in good shape on the surface, but the truth is that danger lurks in all directions. How could Master not know that this is just a dangerous move, and that it would cause all the different forces in the Yuxian to fall apart, and that it would backfire on us if we were to be careless? However, what we lack the most right now is time, as long as we can use the Changsun Family to win time, we can slowly obtain it!”
Zhang Yueming thought for a moment, then said: “Teacher, I heard that this great protective formation of the Changsun Family was laid down by our sect’s traitor Yin Chen Ming. Although Yin Yang Ming died, the formation that he created using our sect’s magnetic light technique was extremely extraordinary, and this disciple is extremely interested in it. It’ity that this formation has already disappeared from our sect, but disciple hopes to find the complete magnetic light Great Waves Map in the Changsun Family.”
Adept Qing Shu laughed out loud, and said: “Recently I heard that you managed to cultivate the Flying Stone Spirit Art, and then found the inheritance of the magnetic light technique in the Scripture Pavilion to study, and it turned out that you did it for that formation.
Zhang Yueming also laughed: “Not only that, the Changsun Family’s encampment is located at the Jinyu County’s Magnetic Birth Mountain. Not only is the Magnetic Birth Stone and Magnetic Essence Stone produced here, there is alsossibility that they contain a natural magnetic light.
Qing Mu muttered to himself for a moment, then said: “The nurturing of the magnetic light is extremely difficult, and it is not easy to capture. However, Changsun Family has been in operation for hundreds of years, so perhaps they really do have this Spirit Stone, but I will handle this matter, you can bring your people to the Tuo Wu Shan, and if I am not wrong, that old ghost, Zhangsun Xiu, is already secretly transferring the disciples of the clan!”
At the same time, Yang Junshan had also snuck into a forest that was only a few kilometers away from the Primary Magnetic Mountain.
