Chapter 161 - 160 Resolve the Hatred for the Yang Family First

Chapter 161: Chapter 160 Resolve the Hatred for the Yang Family First

That year, Yang Shi had aged a bit.

Every day, battling wits and magic with the Demon Sect and the Danai Decree Bureau, he expended a great deal of energy.

However, his cultivation had increasingly advanced; upon reaching the Divinity Realm, he comprehended his own divine skill, “Heart Sword,” and now, every move he made carried immense pressure.

Moreover, after consuming the Third Grade Elixir “Clear Wind Divine Condensing Pill” brought by Yang Fushuo, his divine sense surged, making his strength even more unfathomable.

But there was no sign of fatigue on his face, only a deep commitment to what he was doing.

This was precisely what he had always wanted to do!

Hearing the words of his son, Yang Fu, Yang Shi seemed to have never considered these matters before.

“After exterminating the demon cultivators, go to Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect…”

He had heard his two children describe it as an ethereal Immortal Realm with highly cultivated immortals, fields full of spirit fields, and countless Immortal Cultivation Families… it was an excellent place.

For the Yang Family to go there would indeed bring honor to their ancestors.

‘But… do I have a place there?’

Yang Shi looked at his robust body; he was merely a martial cultivator, and just a martial cultivator at that…

The realm he aspired to was not in that Immortal Sect; his everything was here.

His vendettas, his hatred, and all his beautiful memories…

“We’ll talk about it another day; it’s uncertain if we can resolve this calamity of demon cultivators before you leave this year… When it’s time for you to go, just go, don’t delay.”

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo still had three months before they returned to the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Don’t worry, Father, in this past half-year, we’ve accelerated the progress of the final battle between our righteous path and the Demon Cultivation Decree Bureau. As long as we confront the enemy together with the Xuan Stone Sect, plus the Miracle Treasure given by Uncle Murong, we can surely end this all!”

Yang Fu was careful and strategic, with many tactics severely wounding demon cultivators originating from his hand.

“Rest assured, Father, my strength has improved recently too, allowing me to control a larger range of explosions.”

Yang Fushuo had advanced to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, further enhancing his control over spiritual fire and elixirs.

The most ferocious two attacks this half-year still depended on Yang Fushuo’s divine intervention; triggering elixirs to explode, creating devastating attacks similar to the one that eliminated sixteen contenders in the final clash of Immortal Path last year.

Once they eradicated a legion of the Decree Bureau, and another time they wiped out a large army of demon cultivators assembled by the Demon Path giant, Ding Zhen.

These two instances had crippled both factions!

It also hastened the fusion of the Demon Path and the Decree Bureau, enabling them to achieve victory in one fell swoop!

If the battle continued slowly, it naturally would be somewhat easier, especially since the Danai Dynasty had only two Golden Core Stage cultivators: Daoist Xuan Zhen of the Xuan Stone Sect and Mo Zhu, the Valley Master of Blood Soul Valley.

As the two were wary of each other and dared not make a move, the group of four including Yang Shi basically wouldn’t face life-threatening dangers.

But they were out of time.

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo had only one year left to deal with mundane affairs.

If they were as willful as Murong Ziyuan and simply chose not to go, they indeed could stay for a few years, but… the Yang Family dared not gamble.

Murong Ziyuan was not only a Heavenly Spirit Root but also a very rare Thunder Spirit Root, her talent being the highest seen by the Twelve Dynasties in nearly a thousand years!

Because of her willfulness, Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect could indulge her for many years.

But for the two from the Yang Family, although they secured first and second place, they were still cultivators of Four Spirit Roots and Five Spirit Roots. If Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect decided they were unwelcome… that would be the end.

The Yang Family’s chance to ascend to an Immortal Clan in an Upper Sect would be directly lost, severing the entire family’s path to rise.

Low in rank, they dared not take the risk.

As they discussed this, someone arrived from outside.

Elder Huang of the Xuan Stone Sect, a foundational pillar of strength at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Ding Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness it’s not the Thunder from Thunder Peak…”

“Shh! Don’t speak his name! Be cautious!”

“Right, right, I was still careless…”

“Xuan Stone Sect isn’t in a position to have that person come out and handle things… Don’t worry needlessly.”

“It’s mainly because that year I was bitten… I’ve feared the rope for a good ten years afterwards.”

“I understand.”

Watching Ding Zhen and Elder Huang converse cryptically, Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo looked baffled.

“Uncle Ding, Elder Huang, whom are you talking about?”

“Little Fu, you two better stop prying, it’s bad luck!”

At that moment, Yang Shi knew who they were talking about.

“Hmm… Sister Murong has reminded us multiple times, we better stop casually talking about his elderliness.”

Although he hadn’t experienced it, Ding Zhen was plagued by misfortune for an entire year. Now, at a critical moment, it was better to be cautious.

“What did Sect Leader Xuan Zhen say?”

“Fight! The sect leader has already requested the Xuan Stone Sect’s foundation to come out of hiding. This time, we will completely eradicate the Demon Path and the royal family!”

“Foundation?”

“Hmph~ Do you really think the Xuan Stone Sect has stood for nearly a thousand years without any foundation? It’s time to thoroughly cleanse the Danai atmosphere, time to return to the righteous path!”

“Good! Then let us join hands!”

“The time is one month from now, when a meteor crosses the sky, that will be the day we strike!”

“Excellent!”

The two parties talked about many details, summarizing their own intelligence. Overall… they held the advantage.

Especially since Yang Fushuo could launch attacks beyond his realm, sometimes even more formidable than a typical early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

And Yang Fu was even more unequivocal, having a solid foundation and aided by the Low Grade Treasure, the Glazed Fire Bottle, along with having consumed the Third Grade “Burning Spirit True Fire Pill”—his strength was unrivaled!

Moreover… after experiencing three Heavenly Tribulations, Yang Fu discovered a trace of Thunder Spiritual Power mixed within his Five Elements Spiritual Power… To a Demon Cultivator, this was a disastrous calamity, as his magic was extremely restricive.

“This Heavenly Tribulation… It doesn’t seem to be a punishment from the heavens but rather a blessing for me.”

Yang Fu had been feeling this way lately.

After everything was discussed, they had one month to prepare.

Yang Shi stood at a high spot, looking towards the capital city of Danai, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

“Before the final battle, let’s settle our own family issues first.”

“Xiang Family!” Yang Fushuo answered quickly.

“And the Ge Family…”

During the most vulnerable times for the Yang Family, the Ge Family had harassed them multiple times for the formula of the Grain Avoidance Cake. If not for the ancestral Qi Fortune protecting them, the Yang Family might have already…

“Brother Ding, our father and son will take care of our own business, and in one month, we will surely return.”

“Your affairs are my affairs too, I’ll join you!”

“You have many identities, and moreover, you are the overall commander for this decisive battle. We can’t do without you here, the three of us… are enough.”

Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo both nodded as well.

After a moment of hesitation, Ding Zhen threw over the Thunderbolt Sword Scabbard.

“You’ve always wanted it, right? I’ll lend it to you for a month!”

Shing!

The sword scabbard merged, restoring the might of a Mid Grade Treasure.

Yang Shi bowed to Ding Zhen: “Thank you, Brother Ding.”

“Hmph! Don’t thank me so quickly. This Thunderbolt Sword Scabbard only exerts its full power with a truly pure and right-hearted swordsman. If you harbor any impure thoughts, you’ll be injured by the Thunder Spiritual Power of this scabbard.”

Yang Shi raised the sword scabbard.

Boom!

The Thunder Strike followed his hand, as naturally as if it were an extension of his arm, utterly smooth.

“Hahaha! I knew you would be able to handle it. I’ve left you plenty of mana, enough for your use.”

“Return it to me in a month! It’s just a loan!”

“Okay, I’ll return it when I’m back!”

Yang Shi wielded the sword scabbard, and the three of them departed.

In the sky, visible only to the Yang Family, three streams of golden light descended upon the three men.

The power solidified the steps of the three men from the Yang Family even further.
