Sovereign to Immortality

"I knew I was tricked by you father and son. I've only been registered in your village for a day, and now I've been captured. If I knew earlier, I would have been a rogue cultivator myself!"    

    

Lin Chengzi held the compass in his hand as he continued to calculate and search for something. At the same time, he was constantly complaining. Every time he confirmed a specific location, Yang Junshan would immediately move on to the next array.    

    

Yang Junshan first made a row of holes in the ground, then stuck a carved rune stick into it, and then buried a dozen or so stone coins around it. After that, he used a thin thread to connect the stone coins with the rune stick.    

    

Lin Chengzhi slanted his eyes at the simple formation on the ground and said: "Is it that simple? "Even cultivators in the late stage of the Martial Disciple Stage were able to be discovered when they passed by?"    

    

Yang Junshan stood up and nodded, "It shouldn't be that simple. Isn't it supposed to be with senior's guidance? As long as the spiritual energy channels you found are accurate, these warning arrays will definitely work."    

    

Lin Chengzi's face suddenly changed, "Brat, you dare to not believe this old man's methods?"    

    

Yang Junshan quickly smiled, "Of course not. If it wasn't for you, senior, it wouldn't be so easy for me to set up these warning arrays."    

    

"In a short period of time, I can only confirm a few relatively clear Feng Shui lines. However, these few Feng Shui lines are far from being able to take into account the entire village. At that time, if the thieves infiltrate from other directions, the warning array glyphs will become a decoration."    

    

Yang Junshan nodded and said, "That was just luck. If we were able to discover it in advance, we would have time to prepare."    

    

Lin Chengxi smiled and said, "I hope my luck isn't too bad. If it was an early stage Martial Disciple, then it would be fine, but even if I wasn't discovered beforehand, I would not be afraid with the strength of Xishan Village. However, if I were to meet a late stage Martial Disciple, then I'm afraid I would suffer some losses."    

    

Yang Junshan smiled, "Have you forgotten that I have set up a formation in the village's merchant group warehouse?"    

    

Lin Chengzhi said: "Your array is not completely set up yet, who knows how useful it would be. Even a late stage Martial Disciple would be trapped here?"    

    

Lin Chengzi had originally thought that Yang Junshan was only an early stage array master, and wouldn't have much experience. However, these few days of exchanges had made it impossible for him to have any thoughts of looking down on Yang Junshan, and in terms of knowledge and opinions, Yang Junshan's experience and insight seemed to be above his.    

    

On the stage in the Western Mountain Village, there was a bounty that was posted by the county magistrate saying: "One person who has been beheaded by a Celestial Wolf Bandits at the early Martial Disciple stage will be rewarded fifty stones, fifty jade coins; one person who has been beheaded by a Celestial Wolf Bandits at the middle Martial Disciple stage will be rewarded a hundred stones, one hundred jade coins and five middle-grade spirit materials; one person who has beheaded a cultivator from the Heavenly Wolf Sect at the late Martial Disciple Stage will be rewarded three hundred jade coins, ten middle-grade spirit items, and one Spirit Containment Pill." In addition to the bounty mentioned above, the loot obtained by the Heavenly Wolf Bandits will be found by the person who cut them down. "    

    

Not to mention the bounty for killing the Heavenly Wolf Bandits, all the things that the Heavenly Wolf Bandits had belonged to the people who had captured them. Who would not know that the Heavenly Wolf Bandits had plundered everything during this period of time in Mengyu County, obtaining a huge sum of money. If they could capture them and find out where the stolen items were hidden, it would mean a huge fortune!    

    

However, in the next few days, many villages in Mengyu County discovered the disturbance and destruction caused by the wandering cultivators of the Celestial Wolf Sect, causing the death and injury as well as the loss of their houses. Although the martial arts cultivators of the various villages tried to encircle and annihilate them, these wandering cultivators were very crafty, and the moment they realized something was amiss, they would immediately evacuate.    

    

Moreover, after these few days had passed, the initially defeated cultivators now showed signs of joining forces. Yesterday, there were three cultivators that attacked the hill village in the Desolate Hill Village.    

    

In the past, Yang Tian and the others had only been thinking of how to eliminate the Heavenly Wolf Bandits, so that the Western Mountain Village would be safe from looting. Now that the county magistrate had placed a bounty on the villagers, the entire village of Xishan rubbed their hands together, thinking about how they could earn a generous reward from the county magistrate, especially about the mid-grade spirit materials that were offered as rewards, they did not specify which ones they would want. It was clear that they wanted the reward to be picked by themselves.    

    

As for the sixty-seven types of spirit materials that could be used to ensure that the Spirit Source's land could be restored, the gap was even bigger. However, these Heavenly Wolf Bandit Cultivators had looted the warehouse of the Barren Mountain Town garrison, so if they could obtain the hidden items from their mouths, they would definitely be able to gather a portion of the sixty-seven spirit materials.    

    

On the flat ground in front of the stage in the village, the West Mountain Village Merchant Group's warehouse was already built. The reason why they chose this place was because it was very spacious, and once they started fighting, the losses could be minimized. And the reason was because Yang Junshan had mentioned from Lin Chengzi that there was a major Feng Shui line that could be used to set up the array when passing through the spirit vein in the West Mountain.    

    

In the past two days, several villages in Barren Town also discovered the traces of these roaming cultivators, and a few villages had already been attacked in different degrees at night. Perhaps it was because the combined strength of the two villages made the ambushers feel troubled, so they never appeared near the village.    

    

"This is not right!"    

    

Yang Tian once again gathered the few Martial Disciples from the village and said: "According to the information I obtained, the last time they entered the Desolate Mountain Town, there were only twenty or so Heavenly Wolf School cultivators. After they were defeated by the border guards, about half of them survived, at most a dozen of them. However, in these few days, all six towns in Mengyu County were attacked.    

    

Zhang Fei did not mind, "That's nothing. A dozen people are divided into three groups, each attacking five or six different villages. Over the past three days, more than a dozen people have been attacked."    

    

Yang Tian Gang shook his head, "It's not calculated like that. Firstly, it is very difficult to form an organized attack after these people have been destroyed. Secondly, there are some indications that they are trying to combine their forces, so it is even more impossible for such a large-scale destruction to occur. Thirdly, there are injured people among these people, so there is no guarantee that they will make another sneak attack on the village."    

    

Shi Nan Sheng said, "Maybe the Heavenly Wolf Sect and other cultivators have infiltrated the sect."    

    

Yang Tian nodded, "That is possible. However, under the twin attacks of the border martial law and the bounty, even if the Heavenly Wolf Sect were to sneak in, they should be trying to escape with the defeated cultivators. How could they continue to act against the wind?"    

    

"Third Brother, do you mean that someone is fishing in troubled waters?" An Xia asked in disbelief.    

    

Yang Tian nodded and said, "To be more accurate, someone should be deliberately causing chaos!"    

    

The news that came from the various counties in Yu County during the past two years did not seem to be very good. The Heaven Shaking Sect represented an official faction that was engaged in a fierce battle with the local forces, and the only ones that were a bit calmer were Jin Yu and Meng Yu. Jinyu County was originally weak because of the local forces, but was exterminated by the Heaven Shaking Sect later on.    

    

However, after the incident at the Xishan Village, the local forces in Mengyu County seemed to have noticed the shadow of the county magistrate taking the initiative to attack. Coupled with the fact that the Dream Yoga Guards had suddenly started to provoke them, the local forces had sensed the danger.    

    

Xu Sanniang asked, "Then what should we do?"    

    

Yang Tian muttered to himself for a moment. However, he did not answer Xu Sanniang's question. Instead, he turned to Yang Junshan and asked, "How is the arrangement of your formation? Are you able to trap a late stage Martial Disciple?"    

    

Yang Junshan replied: "The warning talisman markings have already been placed on the edge of the terrain near the entrance of the village, but these talismans are unable to take care of the entire village. The fake warehouse has already laid down the formations, so it is impossible to trap a late stage Martial Disciple, but it is not a problem to weaken his strength. When you all charge in, at least you will be able to form a entanglement with the incoming enemy."    

    

The status of array masters was quite high in the cultivation world. Yang Junshan had already proven his identity as a array master, so even if Xu Sanniang, Shi Nansheng and the others had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to refute him.    

    

At this time, Lin Chengzi on the side smacked his lips and said: "I have some understanding of formations, the formations that this boy has set up are very rare, at the very least if he personally controls the formations, I think we should correct what he just said, that is, even if the peak of the fifth stage cultivators come, we can still rely on the formations to tangle with the enemies. If we are lucky, we might even cause the enemy to suffer a huge loss."    

    

If Yang Junshan's words had been belittled by others because he was a junior, then as a famous Spirit Master of Mengyu County, Lin Chengzi couldn't help but believe the words of others.    

    

This also caused Xu Sanniang, Zhang Jiu, Shi Nan Sheng, Li Shaoqun and the other Martial Disciples who were not completely related to Yang Tian to feel bitter in their hearts. Whether it was a formation spell master or a Spirit Master, it only showed that Yang Tian's control and authority over Xishan Village had reached a level beyond their reach.    

    

The night wind was slightly cold, and the ones who were on duty at the fake storage tonight were the two 2nd level Martial Disciples, Zhang Tie and Shi Nan. The night wind was slightly cold, and the ones on duty at the fake storage were the 2nd level Martial Disciples, Zhang Tie and Shi Nan.    

    

An oil lamp, a few dishes, and a jar of old wine were enough for the two of them to exchange cups.    

    

But at this moment, the wind chime hanging from the southwest corner under the eaves suddenly jingled. The two people who had just raised their wine glasses froze at the same time. A look of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time, and they each put down their wine glasses.    

    

Zhang Xing Jian stood up, holding the hammer in his hand. Shi Nan Sheng, on the other hand, had an oil lamp on the table that was being poured over, the oil of the lamp running on the ground ignited a blue flame. Following which, a dim earthen yellow light flashed on the ground, and the formation beneath his feet was ignited by the blue flame.    

    

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Junshan suddenly sat up from the bed. When he put on his clothes and came to the yard, Yang Tian had already stood there and lit a pot of dry smoke in the southwest direction.
