Chapter 173 – Disintegration
Xu Sanniang naturally knew who she had told the Yu Family when she went to the county to notify them. Hearing Blacksmith Zhang’s affirmative reply, her gaze was like a knife as she stabbed at Xu Erchen, who was hiding within the Xu Family clansmen and planned to slip away.
“Xu Erchen, where are you going?” Xu Sanniang’s stern shout made Xu Erchen, who was just about to quietly leave, turn deathly pale.
Xu Erchen slowly turned around, his face revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: “Third, Third Sister, where did you go? Isn’t this the outcome of the battle?
How could a cultivator with martial arts realm possibly hold back his piss? Xu Sanniang’s expression became even gloomier, and she said: “Was it you who leaked the news last night?”
Xu Erchen shook his head with all his might, and said: “No, not me!”
Blacksmith Zhang shook his head at this time, “It really wasn’t him!”
Xu Sanniang was startled, but before Xu Erchen could feel relief, he heard Blacksmith Zhang say, “That person looks short and thin, and isn’t Xu Erchen at all, he seems to be his son!”
Xu Erchen panicked and quickly scolded: “Blacksmith Zhang, I have no enmity with you, why would you harm me?”
Blacksmith Zhang was stunned: “I was only speaking the truth, could it be that I made a mistake? Wasn’t that person your son last night?”
“You …” Xu Erchen pointed at Blacksmith Zhang but was unable to say a word.
Shi Jiutong, who was still trapped in the pit, suddenly spoke out: “That’s right, last night Xu Erchen indeed let his son spread the news, and told me about Xu Sanniang heading to the county to inform the Yu Family, but killing Patriarch Xu midway is definitely not something I can do!”
The crowd went into an uproar again as they started discussing in private.

“I think it’s like that. Otherwise, why would this Master Xu Er take down Xu Sanniang’s position?!”
“Right, look at that Second Master Xu who was the first to fight. I originally praised him for his bravery, but now it seems like he couldn’t even withstand three moves or two. I’m afraid it wasn’t intentional!”
“Of course, but I think that this Second Master Xu is doing this for the sake of the Xu Family’s Patriarch position. Xu Sanniang is only a woman, and in the past, the Xu Family only had her as the Martial Realm Cultivator, that’s all. But now, the Second Master of the Xu Family has also advanced to the martial arts realm.
Xu Erchen’s face became even paler, and he could feel the sharpness in Xu Sanniang’s eyes grow stronger.
Song Wei laughed out loud and said: “This matter is becoming more and more interesting. Then, Village Head Shi, why don’t you tell me why the people from the Xu family are looking for you?”
Shi Jiutong’s expression was dejected as he said: “Xu Erchen’s son found me and informed Clan Leader Xu about going to the county to notify the Yu Family.
“And then?” Song Wei said with a kind of persuasive tone.
“Cough,” Xiong Zhizhong interrupted Song Wei and said: “Mr. Song, Xiong Family did indeed receive news about the Xu Family from this Shi Village Head. However, the matter of intercepting and killing the Xu Family Patriarch has nothing to do with our Xiong Family!”
“Just which side is this Xu family on?” Some people in the villagers discussed in a low voice.
“That’s right, if we are on the Yu Family’s side, then Master Xu must have passed the news to the Xiong Family through Shi Jiutong; if we are on the Xiong Family’s side, then the Patriarch Xu must have been intercepted and killed in order to notify the Yu Family!”
“Hehe, it’s nothing more than a wager on both sides, a double wager. What’s so strange about that!”
“That’s true. When the time comes, no matter who gets the position of Village Head, the Xu family will be able to rest easy!”
“Uh, didn’t you say before that it was because Xu Sanniang and Xu Erchen were fighting for the position of Patriarch?”
“Well, who can say!”
This time, not only did the Yu Family look at the Xu Family with a dark face, even the Xiong Family’s expression was very ugly. This kind of person who could not control himself, once found out by people, would often be hated the most.
At this time, Song Wei suddenly squatted beside Shi Village Head, patted his face and said: “Then after that, I’ll trouble Shi Village Head to come with us, and tell us the history of this inheritance of spirit techniques in your hands!”
“Hold on!” A loud shout came from behind Song Wei.
Song Wei slowly turned around, only to see Xiong Chi blocking in front of the aggressive Xiong Man Shan, and smiling at Song Wei: “Mr. Song, I actually want to ask, if there is an unknown spirit art inheritance on Shi Village Head, then we will take it away, but the Young Master of the Yang Cunzheng family used a spirit art that I do not know about, should we also take it away?”
“Hehe,” Song Wei laughed coldly, and said: “So it was with this idea in mind, to let you all know, the spirit technique that the kid used was called ‘magnetic light Technique’, and was passed down as a spirit technique in my Heaven-Shaken Sect, so there’s no need to ask about it!”
The inheritance of the spirit arts was something small, but the origin of the spirit arts was. Song Wei took Shi Jiutong away, more importantly, to find out if there was any trace of the Seven Spirit Sect and Opening Spirit School behind the inheritance of the spirit arts.
At the same time, Steward Xiong’s intention was to frame someone using the “magnetic light Technique” on Yang Junshan. Unexpectedly, Song Wei directly called out the name of this spirit art’s inheritance, and directly stated that this inheritance originated from the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
What did this mean? Under what circumstances would the Heaven-Shaken Sect hand over his inheritance ability to an outsider?
It only meant that the person who stood behind Yang Cunzheng and looked like he had no background was the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and the skills and techniques on Yang Junshan’s body were most likely bestowed to him by some expert of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, which was why Song Wei did not pay any heed to it.
So it wasn’t just the Xiong Family, even the cultivators of the Yu and Ning Families all had a feeling that something was amiss. The one standing behind Yang Cunzheng was the Heaven-Shaken Sect, or perhaps it was the Chen County Magistrate.
It was no wonder that they were defeated this time!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOriginally, Tuqiu Village Yang Tiangang had won the position of Village Head in the competition for the title of Commander. At the same time, because Shi Jiutong had brought Shi Jiutong to the county, he had also taken over the position of Deputy Guardian that Shi Jiutong had left behind.
Finally, the matter of the Spirit Origin was settled, and it was handed over to the Xishan Village. The three tyrants of the Mengyu County returned with a low level of confidence, and the reason why the Heaven-Shaken Sect revealed this matter was to cause others to ponder.
From start to finish, the Mengyu County’s County Official Chen had never openly fought against the three tyrants. However, the shadow of that person had always lingered behind the scenes, and at the same time, the appearance of the Meng Yu Guards had once again intimidated the various powers in the Mengyu County.
In the past month, stayed in the Spirit Spring Cave at the top of the mountain to train and recuperate. However, the matters that happened in the village afterwards were a myriad of things, Yang Tiangang was extremely busy during this one month.
After Yang Tiangang became the Xishan Village, because he was taken away, many of the villagers in the far earth stone village became flustered. Luckily, he immediately promoted Shi Nansheng to vice Village Head and quickly stabilized the situation.
During this month, a few major events had happened within the Xishan Village. First, there were the hundred plus Spiritual Farmers who had just entered the Yuan Tu Stone Village, and under the lead of the two Martial Realm Cultivator s, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, the two of them left. At the same time, over a dozen families of the Earth Stone Village also left due to their agitation.
firmly believed that Xu Erchen wanted to reveal her whereabouts to Shi Jiutong in order to obtain the position of Patriarch, and wanted her to die; Xu Erchen however, accused Xu Sanniang for deliberately suppressing the cultivation progress of some people, including him, in order to consolidate his position of Patriarch over the years, causing the Xu Family to repeatedly lose the opportunity to grow stronger, and was not worthy of wielding the power of the Xu.
Xu Sanniang and Xu Erchen, the brother and sister pair, finally broke off from each other. Because Xu Erchen had secretly communicated with the foreign enemies, many of the original Tuqiu Village villagers did not like him, so in the end, she brought about ten families, which consisted of about four to five hundred people from the Xu Clan, and left the Xishan Village.
The Xu family was originally the largest family in Tuqiu Village, witopulation that was around one third of the original Tuqiu Village. Even if the two villages combined into a Xishan Village, the Xu family’s power would far surpass the original Stone Village’s largest Shi family.
Now that the Xu family had lost a Martial Realm Cultivator and brought along seventy or eighty supporters, the Xu family’s influence in Xishan Village was naturally greatly weakened. On the other hand, due to the fact that Patriarch Shi Jiutong’s life or death was unknown, and under the circumstances where the dragon did not have a leader, more than a dozen families of Shi Jiutong’s hardcore clansmen left the Xishan Village with the Xiong Da and Xiong Er in fear of Yang Tiangang’s revenge and joined the Xiong Family. Aesult, even if Shi Nansheng served as the Vice Village Head, the power of this clan was also greatly weakened.
When Yang Junshan returned from the Spirit Spring Cave, the Xishan Village had completed the basic integration process with Yang Tiangang and the others. After integrating all of them, there were approximately eighteen hundred thousand households in the Xishan Village, witopulation of over ten thousand. In the Wasteland Town, it was considered the largest village, even in the entire Mengyu County, it could be considered as one of the big villages.
The current Xishan Village had eight inside Martial Realm Cultivator s, of which Yang Tiangang’s family held three. Adding the fact that Yang Tiangang had the strongest strength, the Yang Junshan father and son that were unable to even get a grasp of his identity, and the fact that Wu Shuo also had a servant-looking Wu Shuo, even though his Yang family wasn’t the largest in the Xishan Village, he firmly held the authority of the Xishan Village.
It was also because of this that, in the process of merging the two villages, although there were still many conflicts erupting, under Yang Tiangang’s strong suppression, they did not obstruct He Village too much.
“Currently, Xishan Village is likot potato. Although it looks smooth, the truth is that there are a lot of worries as well. Such a large village only has eight Martial Realm Cultivator s now, it’s too few. Originally, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor between the two villages. It was way too big! ”
Even though the process of the village formation was smooth sailing, Yang Tiangang still had a deep sense of worry. This time, although the village formation had won him a great victory, it had also pushed him to the forefront of the storm that was raging in the Mengyu County.
