Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 428 - 209: The Destruction of the Yang Family_2

...

Not long after Wang Tengfei left, a major event occurred in the Immortal Cultivation World.

The ancestor of the Yang family from Wangyue City passed away.

Many old enemies converged on Wangyue City once more, preparing to use the excuse of paying condolences to the old ancestor to oppress Yang Dan and seize the Yang Family heritage,

Especially the third-tier spiritual veins occupied by the Yang family, had always been coveted by those with ulterior motives.

In anticipation, Yang Dan sent a messenger to Chen Yi, requesting him to come to Wangyue City to treat the old ancestor. As a reward, he offered the main ingredient of the Crystallisation Pill, worth over ten thousand spirit stones!

Regardless of the amount of spirit stones, Chen Yi had no desire to go.

Wang Tengfei once advised Chen Yi to stay away from Wangyue City.

In addition, with the imminent fall of the Yang family, helping them at this time might only lead to him being casually killed by those preparing to divide up the family's wealth.

Just as Chen Yi was mulling over whether to go or not,

The oppressive aura of a Pseudo-Core Cultivator came from beyond Little Cold Peak:

"Doctor Chen of Little Cold Peak, come out!"

Upon hearing that a Pseudo-Core Cultivating Monk was calling him by name, Chen Yi came out to find Shi Yuanzhen, who had attacked Aunt Qin along with Zhao Jingwu that day. He was once Elder Yang's servant and later, his student.

"Greetings to True Person Shi." Chen Yi greeted respectfully.

"Oh? You actually recognize me?"

"This junior once caught a glimpse of True Person at an auction in Wangyue City."

"Hmph, it's good that you remember. Remember this, too. Something is about to happen in Wangyue City, the Yang family invited you to come. If you dare to come, I will kill you afterward!"

Ever since Shi Yuanzhen rebelled against the Yang family, he had become more and more brazen. At this point, on the territory of the Cold Sword Gate, he openly threatened Chen Yi.

Chen Yi squinted his eyes, lowered his head slightly and did not counter this Pseudo-Core True Person.

On the surface, Chen Yi was a timid person, naturally shrinking when faced with the threats of the Pseudo-Core True Person.

However, in his heart, he noted this down.

You will kill me, will you?

I knew that when I was helping Yang Dan defend last time, I shouldn't have directed all my attacks at Zhao Jingwu, I should have given you a couple too,

Hmph, I hope nothing happens to you, giving me a chance.

"With True Person Shi's instructions, Chen Yi certainly wouldn't dare to disobey."

Chen Yi slightly bowed, feigning fear, and withdrew.

Shi Yuanzhen left, satisfied.

Chen Yi summoned the messenger sent by Yang Dan, using Shi Yuanzhen's threat as an excuse.

He regretfully told him with a wry smile that he dared not go. If he did, Shi Yuanzhen would kill him afterward.

Seeing this, the messenger could only give up and return to deliver the message with a sigh.

It had been nearly ten years since Shi Yuanzhen's name last appeared in the Eastern Archipelago after the skirmish over Yang Dan's Core Formation.

Unexpectedly, he was now back and active.

It seemed that the Yang family was truly headed for doom.

.....

Not long after Shi Yuanzhen left, Ma Xiaoqiu returned from outside, bringing a piece of news to Chen Yi:

The Yang family was indeed on the verge of collapsing. At the funeral of the Yang Family Ancestor,

Not a single one of the major mainstream sects came to pay respects, a sight of utter desolation.

Halfway through the funeral, it seemed as if someone had confirmed that Elder Yang had indeed passed away.

The Qi family of Wangyue City, who had somehow found a Core Formation Stage priest, suddenly made a move against Yang Dan.

Newly advanced to the Core Formation Stage, Yang Dan was no match for the veteran True Person who was well-prepared. He was defeated within a quarter of an hour and barely escaped, paying a heavy price.

And those wolves coveting the Yang family, seeing that the only True Pill Cultivating Monk of the Yang family was taken down, directly swarmed and took over all the territories the Yang family had in Wangyue City.

As for the two existing Pseudo-core True Persons of the Yang family, Aunt Qin was injured by Shi Yuanzhen using a shameless method and fled a long way off.

Yang Shenghu exhausted his life, dealing the final blow to save Yang Hui's life, but died himself.

Several scattered priests that Yang Dan had brought in over the years turned traitor in the battle, leading the enemy to snatch their master's resources.

However, the Yang family could no longer afford to worry about these matters.

After the event, Yang Dan, Yang Hui, and Aunt Qin all disappeared without a trace.

The next day, as the True Person from the Qi family was about to take over the Yang family's third-tier spiritual veins,

True Person Chengji from Qinglong Island showed up.

He stepped forward as the father-in-law of the Yang family. His disciple and Yang Dan were quasi-Cultivation Partners, and his disciple, Tan Feng, had died protecting Yang Dan.

He and the Yang family had previously agreed that he had the right to half of the Yang family's third-tier spiritual veins.

He also questioned the identity of the Qi family priest. The stranger True Person was simply there to pick up a bargain.

But seeing that even the True Persons of Qinglong Island had showed up and on top of that they tried to occupy this third-tier spiritual vein using such an excuse, didn't it clearly indicate that he had been used as a pawn?

The Yang Family was just bait that Qinglong Island had set their sights on.

"True Person Chengji, if I had known earlier that Qinglong Island had taken an interest in this place, no amount of spirit stones offered by the Qi Family would have lured me here.

Just as well, consider me unlucky, having been used once as a pawn unknowingly.

True Person Chengji, this third-tier spiritual vein is yours. I'll take my leave."

The other True Person saw Qinglong Island appear after the fact, wanting to occupy this third-tier spiritual vein. He also noticed that none of the higher-ups from the other major sects of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance were present.

He knew very well what was going on.

This time, he got played.

The Qi Family had originally promised that the seized third-tier spiritual vein would be used by him until the Qi Family produced True Pill Cultivating Monks.

However, the third-tier spiritual vein hadn't even warmed up in his hands before it was gone.

In his anger, the True Person killed the current Family Head of the Qi Family before leaving as a warning to others.

True Persons should not be trifled with!

The current Family Head of the Qi Family was Qi Yunzu's father, a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, who had just turned a hundred years old.

If he hadn't given all the family resources to help Qi Yunzu achieve core formation, he would've had a high chance of reaching that stage himself.

Winning the Yang Family over, acquiring the spiritual veins, it would have been an opportunity for the Family Head to attempt core formation.

In the end, his son's revenge was successful, but he lost his own life in the process.

The alliance of the Four Companies of Wangyue City fell apart at once,

turning into a large branch of Qinglong Island in the eastern region, supervised personally by True Person Chengji,

who was preparing to form a caravan to share the commercial route with the Lingxiao Sect of Xuantian Continent.

Chen Yi was quite moved after hearing all this.

The Qi Family and Yang Family were nothing more than pawns in the hands of those two Golden Core Cultivators

The current predicaments of both families were quite tragic,

The Qi Family was alright, at least the main assets were still retained.

The Yang Family had suffered considerably, with many of the severely wounded scattering away without a destination.

Given the current circumstances, it's estimated that the likes of Shi Yuanzhen and Zhao Jingwu wouldn't let those fleeing from the Yang Family escape,

especially Yang Dan. If she was allowed to recover her Yuanqi, without the constraints of the Yang Family's heritage,

She could sink into the shadows and commence subversive activities.

Eliminating those Pseudo-core cultivators would be too easy.

Shortly after the blow to the Yang Family,

One night, a Pseudo-core cultivator abruptly invaded Little Cold Peak.

From afar, Chen Yi noticed that it was Shi Yuanzhen again.

"True Person Shi, what are you up to! How dare you attempt to forcefully seize my Little Cold Peak!"

Chen Yi roared angrily, simultaneously waking up Ma Xiaoqiu, who was sleeping nearby,

The Array Method of Little Cold Peak was agitated, nearly being broken by Shi Yuanzhen,

It was only when Chen Yi used the ice sword, left by the Headmaster of the Cold Sword Gate that he managed to block Shi Yuanzhen's array-breaking strike.

"Huh? Ling Baofeng actually left you something to protect the array? Hmph, but it can't stop me,

You are the Turtle Doctor right? Come out and surrender, stay with me for two years, and I promise to spare your life!"

This time Shi Yuanzhen came to forcibly capture Chen Yi,

Although the reason was unknown,

Chen Yi deduced that Shi Yuanzhen might be targeting all the physicians within this eastern region,

Yang Dan and Aunt Qin were both seriously injured. In this boundless marsh, it's hard to locate them if one wants to assassinate them,

but if all the physicians are arrested, they naturally will have nowhere to heal their wounds.

Shi Yuanzhen did just that, right now in his hidden cave mansion there were three middle to late-stage Foundation Establishment physicians who had been captured,

Chen Yi was the last target on Shi Yuanzhen's list. However, surprisingly, the array method used by this Turtle Doctor was quite something.

Just as Shi Yuanzhen was about to take drastic action,

Ma Xiaoqiu also flew out, straight away he brought out two Quasi-third tier attack-type puppets, directly summoned to lock onto Shi Yuanzhen,

Without uttering another word, he bombarded him with two energy waves.

It took Shi Yuanzhen by surprise.

During the day's battle, to obstruct Yang Dan's core formation, he had seen the power of a Quasi-third tier puppet, one was already powerful enough.

Now two had suddenly cropped up, and they were being manipulated by the puppet master himself.

With the protection of the array method, Ma Xiaoqiu, while controlling two Quasi-third tier puppets, his combat ability was absolutely not inferior to a Pseudo-core cultivator.
