Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 339 – Killing

Mountain Monarch Seal s were powerful enough. Even among similarly ranked magic tools, Mountain Monarch Seal s were not to be trifled with!

But Yang Junshan kept feeling that the Mountain Monarch Seal lacked some agility. When fighting with others, the Mountain Monarch Seal could be used arump card to determine victory or defeat, but it was not a treasure that could be used to change the outcome at will.

Therefore, whenever Yang Junshan fought with someone, once the Mountain Monarch Seal made a move, the outcome would always be decided, and it was even a matter of life and death.

The amount of spirit energy that had been accumulated for many years was not something that Yang Junshan, who had only advanced to the late stage of the martial arts realm, could compare to. Therefore, Yang Junshan could only defeat this person in the shortest amount of time possible with the help of his own spirit techniques and magic tools!

When the Fourth Manager felt that something was amiss, Yang Junshan’s three inch square Mountain Monarch Seal had turned inthree meter square seal, and landed with the force of a mountain pressing on top of a mountain.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

The fourth butler shouted loudly, and the golden ball in his hand exploded with a golden light that shot into the sky. Following that, a deafening explosion sounded out in all directions, but the Mountain Monarch Seal only swayed in midair for a bit before continuing to fall.

The newly-stabilized Xu Lei almost fell to the ground again. The fourth butler took advantage of the time the ball-shaped artifact bought him to dodge the Mountain Monarch Seal’s suppression, but in the next instant, his nose and mouth were filled with blood. His artifact was actually pressed on the ground by the Mountain Monarch Seal, and it looked like his tool had already been damaged.

When the Fourth Butler saw that the situation was bad, he turned around and was about to escape, but Yang Junshan’s attack had the advantage and he would not give his opponent another chance to catch his breath. The instant the Mountain Monarch Seal landed, an extremely strong magnetic light exploded from the magic tool’s body, covering an area of one hundred meters.

Although this magnetic light could not directly injure someone, the four stewards felt as if they were carrying a thousand kilograms of gravity, making it difficult for him to move a single step!

The experts were fighting, competing for the opportunity. The Fourth Butler slightly paused, Yang Junshan had already caught up, but if he wanted to escape, Yang Junshan had blocked his path of retreat!

But this time, Yang Junshan had also made a miscalculation, the direction that the four stewards were running towards was not towards the northwest direction of the Yu Clan or County City, but towards Xu Lei who was not too far away!

This was simply courting death, because the distance between where Xu Lei was and where he was right now was not too far from where Yang Junshan was.

“How dare you!”

At this moment, he was sure that he could easily kill the Fourth Housekeeper, and the Fourth Housekeeper was also able to pull Xu Lei, who was unable to retaliate at all, onto his back while he was on the verge of death!

Since Yang Junshan was here to save Xu Lei, then naturally, he was not willing to let Xu Lei just die like that.

Honestly speaking, Yang Junshan did not care about Xu Lei’s life and death. Although the Xu family was still useful in Xishan Village, without the Xu family, the impact on the Yang family was limited.

However, after receiving his father’s secret letter, which brought him here with great difficulty, he had actually brought Xu Lei’s body back.

Thinking to this, Yang Junshan’s hands couldn’t help but slow down, and although the fourth butler had his back to Yang Junshan, he was well aware of what was happening behind him. He couldn’t help but smile complacently, and the divine ability that was originally meant to kill Xu Lei also receded slightly, changing from killing to capturing.

When the fourth butler saw that Xu Lei was about to land in the hands of the fourth butler, a loud howl came from beside him. The fourth butler shifted his gaze and saw a figure rushed over from the side, sending Xu Lei, who was in front of him, flying several meters away. This figure was also immediately grabbed by the throat of the fourth butler;

“Little Lei, avenge our Old Xu!”

Xu Sikun, who had his throat grabbed by the fourth steward, was fearless. He opened his arms and slapped at the face of the fourth steward before him, but with a light “kacha” sound, the arm powerlessly fell. At the same time, Xu Sikun’s head, which had a hint of a smile of relief, also drooped down.

“Fourth Uncle!” Xu Lei rolled and crawled like Xu Sikun’s corpse.

However, there waay of light that was faster than him, the Fourth Butler’s face was filled with unwillingness as he looked at the hole in his chest. When he raised his head, he saw Yang Junshan slowly lowering his Snake-Kiss Bow.

Yang Junshan did not pause at all when he passed by Xu Lei, who was hugging Xu Siquan as he cried, and went to the corpse of the fourth butler and pulled down the storage bag at his waist. After that, he extended a finger, and the Mountain Monarch Seal that was on the ground began to shrink and fall into his hands.

“Now is not the time to cry, if you don’t want the rest of the Yu Family to catch up!”

After Yang Junshan finished speaking, the Snake-Necked Bow suddenly appeared in his hands, he quickly pulled the bowstring apart, and the Spirit Light Arrow started to gather at the tip of his finger, in the blink of an eye, the bowstring started to tremble non-stop, the three Spirit Light Arrows had already submerged into the darkness of the plains, only a few screams could be heard from afar before they stopped abruptly.

When Yang Junshan turned around, he was already standing up with a spark swaying around his finger. After hesitating for a moment, he finally flicked the spark at Fourth Uncle’s corpse, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely engulfed his body.

“The tails have already been taken care of, we need to hurry to Xishan Village and with Adept Realm Cultivator not intervening, only the Xishan Village’s village protection formation can protect your Xu family!”

Xu Lei collected the ashes on the ground, tore off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it around himself. Then, he mounted a packhorse behind Yang Junshan and the two of them started to gallop towards the direction of the Xishan Village.

“How did you find me?”

Perhaps because he had experienced the successive deaths of his loved ones, the immature aura on Xu Lei’s body disappeared quite a bit, and his entire person looked a lot more mature. However, it was also because of Xue Chou that caused his temperament to become slightly more gloomy!

“Do you think that every single movement in the entire Xishan Village can escape my father’s sight? When Xu Si Kun was hurriedly leaving the Xishan Village, my father had already guessed where he was going, which was why he sent a message to me to come and receive him.

“Mn,” Xu Lei hesitated for a moment, and then said coldly: “Many thanks. If we are able to return alive, my Xu family will owe the Yang family a favor!”

Yang Junshan chuckled and did not speak any further. The two kept on running, until they finally arrived at Xishan Village at daybreak.

The tragedy in Banyan Mountain had caused to suffer tremendous pressure. Not only were the two tyrants and the various powers of Mengyu County asking for an explanation from them, there were also people in the Heaven-Shaken Sect who expressed dissatisfaction with Spiritual Master Chen Ji’s actions.

The main reason was that during the allocation of slots before the trip to Banyan Mountain, most of the families in the towns and cities of the Mengyu County had received suggestions from the counties. Thus, although the casualties of the Banyan Mountain were devastating, the losses sustained by the various families and clans were minimal. Furthermore, as the ones who reaped the most benefits from moving to the two great powers, these people would not give up on working with the county magistrate because of the losses sustained by the children of the various families.

In reality, during this period of time, the cultivators of the various villages in the Wasteland Town had already fought with the people of the Wangqiu Town openly or covertly several times. However, the young and tender Xiong Xiying was obviously not a match for the shrewd Yang Tiangang.

In fact, according to the news that came from the Wangqiu Town, if it was not for the people from the Xiong Family stopping him, Xiong Xiying would have already gone to the Wasteland Town to fight with Yang Tiangang one-on-one!

Not long after Xu Lei had returned to the Xishan Village, the news of the fourth housekeeper of the Yu Family being killed in the wilderness tens of kilometers southeast of the county had also spread throughout the Mengyu County.

In this tiny little Mengyu County, there were less than five hundred Martial Realm Cultivator s. As long as one could raise their cultivation to the third stage of the martial arts realm, they would be able to gain some fame in the Mengyu County, and be called an expert of one direction. Just like Yang Tiangang’s predecessor, Meng Shan of the Earth Meng Village, who, with his cultivation at the third stage of the martial arts realm, was able to stand guard oveegion.

Those who were able to reach the late stage of martial arts realm were all outstanding and famous in the entire Mengyu County. In total, there were only a few dozens, and most of them were concentrated in the county magistrate and three powerful families.

During this period of time, the situation in the Mengyu County was in a state of turmoil, and news of casualties were almost every day. However, there were extremely few casualties among the Martial Realm Cultivator, and most of them were cultivators at the early stage of the martial arts realm.

Very quickly, someone revealed the purpose of the fourth steward’s movements that day and went to chase after a first level martial arts realm cultivator. At that time, many tenants of the Yu Family Manor knew that the steward had been killed in the middle of the journey.

Soon after, more news came, saying that the Little Xiu who was being hunted was from Xishan Village. He had returned to Xishan Village, but he was not a member of Madame Yang.

The first thing that came to everyone’s mind was that someone had discovered that the Yang family had planted a nail in the Yu family, and that the nail was being chased by the fourth steward of the Yu family, while the middle earth was being killed by Madame Yang Patriarch Yang Tiangang who had rushed over to save them.

Many people secretly thought that the Yang family was brave, a mere Prominent Class who just got promoted, actually dared to plot against the mighty Mengyu County, the Yu family!

However, even before the rumors of this guess could spread, someone revealed the true reason behind the Yu Family chasing and killing Xu Lei. It turned out that it was because of the tragedy at Banyan Mountain that Xu Lei’s mother, who was in charge of the Yu Family, was accidentally killed by a member of the Yu Family.

So that’s how it was. This Yu family was really wicked. They had accidentally killed his mother, so they simply didn’t want to stop. They might as well kill her son too, so that he wouldn’t think of taking revenge in the future!

When what happened that day, Yang Tiangang was currently in the town hall welcoming guests who had come from the Sandtown, and there were many people who had personally witnessed it at the time.

Then who had saved that kid and killed the fourth steward of the Yu Family?

Maybe only Xu Lei knew what had happened, but when he returned to the Xishan Village, he stayed in seclusion, and normally did not exit the range of the Xishan Village’s protective array, even if other people wanted to, they would not be able to see him.
