In the mountain forest north of Sandtown, a heavy snoring sound resounded like thunder in a mountain cave. A huge bear was currently sleeping soundly in the cave.
Following his breathing, the grass outside the cave continued to sway rhythmically towards the cave and its exterior. Every time the snoring sound reached its loudest, sand would fall from the cliffs and on the ground around the cave.
A giant, multicolored tiger silently advanced through the forest. The colourful patterns on the tigerâs body allowed its enormous body to give off a faintly discernible feeling under the cover of the vegetation.
Wherever the giant tiger passed by, it seemed as if there was a mountain breeze blowing along with it. A cold and gloomy feeling began to spread throughout the surrounding area.
The giant tiger was headed for the cave where the giant bear was sleeping. The forest that had been brimming with vitality suddenly became quiet, as if it was welcoming the arrival of a king. All that was left was a solemn silence.
Gradually, the sound of the giant bear sleeping began to resound. The giant tigerâs elegant footsteps paused, and the snoring sounds that came from the distance came to an abrupt halt as if its neck had been strangled!
The giant tiger suddenly lowered its forelimbs and madouncing motion. Following that, it let out a low roar, as if it was trying to provoke the existence in the distance.
A loud roar suddenly came from the forest ahead of them, shaking the entire forest, a rough voice came from afar, âNot annoying, not annoying, I say you two brats are not annoying, in the past year, you guys have beaten me three times, do you really think I have a good temper?â
âXiong Zhuang, itâs fine if you want us sisters to not cause trouble for you. You should give up this forest and the surrounding territories. From now on, this place belongs to our sisterâs area of influence.â
âBullshit!â If you want to take over Old Bearâs territory, you should first win against him! â
An explosive roar rang out, and the ground immediately began to tremble with the muffled sound. It was as if a colossal monster was charging towards the giant tiger, breaking all the trees along the way.
A Savage Bear was charging straight towards the tiger from the forest. It only stopped when it was a few dozen feet away from the tiger. It also looked at the tiger in front of it, occasionally scanning its surroundings.
âWhy is it just you? Whereâs your ghost lady, do you still want to hide and ambush me?â
The giant tiger suddenly let out a soft laugh and said with ridicule, âXiong Zhuang, youâre scared!â
âBullshit, will laozi be scared?â
The giant bearâs voice was like thunder that caused the surrounding vegetation to shake, âThe Tiger Demon undead ghost is indeed powerful, but it iity that your cultivations are too low. You have just advanced to the True Demon Form, and have not even succeeded in refining your life demon equipment, how could you be Old Bearâs opponent?â
âIs that so?â The laughter coming out of the giant tigerâs mouth made Xiong Zhuang terrified. âThis time, it might not be the case. Yuâer, letâs go!â
The giant bear roared, and suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind it. It swung its forearm behind it, and swung its Piercing Spear behind it.
Unexpectedly, there was an explosion from the ground, and the Mountain Piercing Spear struck nothing but air. In front of him, there was an explosive roar, and the Multi Colored Tiger had already pounced towards the bear.
âAh, despicable!â The huge bear let out a loud roar and waved its paw. The demonic qi in front of it surged and a huge palm made of Essence pressed down on the head of the giant tiger.
In the secret room of the Spirit Spring Water in the west mountain, the spirit spring water flowing out of the ground brought along clouds of white spirit mist and dispersed in the air. Most of it was absorbed by the enormous formation plate on the floor of the Spirit Spring Room.
And in a piece of wetland that was specially opened by the spirit spring, there were two plants growing by the spirit spring, one of them had a few green fruits hidden within the scarlet red leaves, and the other one was just a broken branch that was inserted into the soil. This was the branch Yang Junshan brought back from the Valleyâs secret realm, which was specially used to increase the strength of his fleshly body.
The two soul figures of the Western Mountain Madame Yang, Yang Tiangang and his son, were currently sitting in a secret room, discussing what to do.
âEver since Wang Yuanâs face had been greatly swept across the Xishan Village, it could be seen from the news that, in this period of more than a year, Wang Yuan had already traveled back and forth between the Bluestone Town and the Magnetic Birth Mountain no less than ten times. There were even two occasions when he and Wang Yuan had proceeded to the Bluestone Town together, and although there have been some secret discussions between the two parties, from the news that came from the Heaven-Shaken Sect and the Wang Family clansmen, the return of the Wang Family is unavoidable.â
As Yang Junshan spoke of the news that he obtained, he calmly replied: âLooks like the Wang family has been provoked!â
âIâm afraid that the Heaven-Shaken Sect was also provoked,â Yang Junshan said hatefully. âItâity that neither of us was back then, otherwise we would not have allowed Wang Yuan to go back with his tail between his legs!â
âWhatâs the use of saying all these now!â
Yang Tiangang continued: âIf the Wang family and the Heaven-Shaken Sect flow together, the Heaven-Shaken Sect will have the absolute advantage. Then, the time to annex the entire Chenyu County is just around the corner.â
Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: âThatâs right, although Tan Xi Sect is powerful, but right now, Tan Xi Sectâs stall is way too big, I canât care about my own family, and in ten out of ten, I will not directly clash with Heaven-Shaken Sect.â
âOnce Heaven-Shaken Sect completely controls Chenyu County, Iâm afraid that it will be Mengyu Countyâs turn next!â
After Yang Tiangang finished speaking, the father and son became silent.
Both of them knew very well that the Mengyu Countyâs six towns were a county town. Currently, the Wangqiu Town, the county city and half of the Wilderness Town was controlled by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and the Yang Familyâs six towns and half of the Wangshan Town was controlled by the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
After the Heaven-Shaken Sect consolidated her power, she would definitely expel the powers of the Sirius Gate and Opening Spirit School from the Mengyu County. Then, would the Heaven-Shaken Sect congregate and attack the rabbits, including the Yang family?
The answer was almost yes, but the Yang family wouldnât be exterminated, the only difference was the depth of the suppression.
After a moment, Yang Tiangang asked again, âHow is the spirit artifact Ouyang Xulin refined for you?â
Yang Junshan said: Thatâs already two of them, and is currently refining the third one. But for my few spirit artifacts, the clan has spent a lot of spirit materials accumulated over the years, adding the consumption from setting up the Five Elements Lightning Lightâs treasure array, there are more than ten used up spirit materials, so the clan treasury is most likely empty now.
Yang Tiangang did not think much of it and said: âNo matter how much of an accumulation of those spirit materials, being unable to increase the strength of the clan is useless. Once Iâve used up all of them, Iâll just think of a way to collect them!â
Yang Junshan laughed bitterly: âIâm afraid that Ouyang Xulin didnât stay in the Xishan Village for long. Although the Heaven-Shaken Sect had only given him one year before he came, it has only been half a year and Heaven-Shaken Sect has already sent people over to visit for three different reasons. His words seemed to urge him to return to the Primary Magnetic Mountain as soon as possible.â
Lao Yang let out a âHehâ sound, and said: âTo be scared to this extent, I really do not know if my Yang family should be proud or unlucky.â
The father and son became silent again. The current situation that the Madame Yang was facing was already a bottleneck, and whether or not she could break free from this bottleneck would depend on whether the Madame Yang could soar into the heavens in the future.
After a moment, Yang Tiangang suddenly opened his mouth and asked: âI heard that Hu Niu and Bao Yuer have been looking for trouble with the Sandtown Demonic Bear lately?â
Yang Junshan laughed when he heard that, and said: âYes, Demonic cultivators are always aggressive, and Bao Yuer is an outsider as well. The two of them are not yet accepted by the human race, rather than living in Xishan Village, it would be better to just let them go and create their own world.â
Yang Tiangang suddenly came to his senses, and laughed: âAre you trying to get ahold of Sandtown?â
Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: âI originally wanted to only use Hu Niu and Bao Yuerâs power to extend my clanâs influence to the Sandtown, but now that Heaven-Shaken Sect is using all of her power to control the Mengyu County, donât tell me I will need to use these two people to attract Alien Cultivatorâs interference? If this news were to spread out and one person were to be charged with colluding with the Alien Cultivator, our Yang family would probably be beaten up. â
Yang Tiangang waved his hand without even thinking, and said: âWe canât do that!â
Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: âThen how about secretly contacting Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School, and letting them suffer a great loss, and stopping them from expanding?â
Yang Tiangang still rejected the proposal: âItâs not appropriate, the Heaven-Shaken Sect will easily notice it, and I heard that the Zhang County and the Yao County have a big momentum, the two sectsâ attention are no longer on the Yuxianâs side, if this were to cause Heaven-Shaken Sect to suffer, Heaven-Shaken Sect is not an idiot, he would definitely know that there iroblem inside himself, and at that time, the Yang Family will be the first person to be suspected.â
Yang Junshan thought that this was indeed the case, and was momentarily at a loss for what to do. He said: âPerhaps we should think of a way to divert Heaven-Shaken Sectâs attention away from us Madame Yang.â
Yang Tiangang suddenly thought of something. âI heard that Jingyang Sect suffered a big loss at the Coldjade mountain range?â
Yang Junshan also reacted instantly, saying, âYou mean, Yu County Huai?â
In the forest in the northern part of Sandtown, a rope silently flowed through the grass. When Xiong Zhuang found it, his legs were already entangled by a snake. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing that, Hu Niu was ecstatic. She threw out her palm, and in mid air, a tiger claw condensed out, clawing towards Xiong Zhuang who was on the ground. If the claw was real, half of Xiong Zhuangâs face, including his eye, would be smashed.
Xiong Zhuang let out a weird roar. His huge body struggled with all its might. The huge force actually caused the rope wrapped around his feet to creak.
Bao Yuer was secretly shocked, she could barely use the Spirit Treasure that Yang Junshan bestowed to make her spirit treasure, but she could not use the power that a Spirit Treasure should have, so she was afraid that it would destroy the mid tier spirit treasure. She immediately twisted the snake away, taking the chance to roll back her face, but she was able to grab onto the rough skin on her shoulder, and her injuries were not serious.
However, before Xiong Zhuang could heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard creaking sounds coming from the distance. He turned around to take a look, and his soul immediately flew out of his body.
However, Hu Niu still transformed into a young girl, pulling out a snake bone bow that was half the height of a man, and nocked it withree foot long arrow, aiming straight at him.
