Chapter 206 – Intermediate
The sudden death of Xiong Man Shan made the entire area suspicious. This was because the people from the Xiong Family and the county magistrate had rushed over immediately, causing the death of Wangqiu Town’s guard to be shrouded in a thick fog.
Some said that the cultivators of the Sirius Gate had assassinated the Xiong Man Shan after infiltrating them, while some guessed that there was the shadow of the County Official Chen Ji behind this, some said that this was an internal conflict between the three tyrants, while some said that the powers outside the Yuxian had used the Xiong Man Shan as an assassin to incite the relationship between the Xiong Family and the county.
Some people even looked towards Xishan Village with suspicion. After all, Xiong Man Shan had played a very dishonorable role in the chaos in the village.
The Wangqiu Town is the only way for the Mengyu County to reach the Chenyu County. Because of the death of the Xiong Man Shan, the county magistrate had already sealed off the entire Wangqiu Town, so Yang Junshan’s plan to head to the Chenyu County would naturally be delayed.
But right at this time, Wu Shuo, who had always been training in the pomegranate forest and rarely appeared in the Xishan Village, suddenly found Yang Junshan and told him that he had felt the Qi of his clansmen.
Yang Junshan looked at him in shock, and asked: “Are there a lot of Shamans?”
Wu Shuo thought for a moment, then shook his head: “I don’t know.”
Yang Junshan asked again, “What do you plan to do?”
Wu Shuo pondered for a moment, then shook his head: “I don’t know either, but I want to take a look.”
“Do you know where it is?”
Wu Shuo said: “Not long after my clansmen’s auras appeared, they started to converge in the northeastern direction. After that, I don’t even sense the presence of clansmen anymore, it seems like their situation isn’t too good, and they’re hiding something.”
“Northeast direction?” Yang Junshan frowned, and blurted out: “Could it be that your people killed Xiong Man Shan?”
Yang Junshan had originally only said that casually, but he didn’t expect that a few days later, more and more accurate information would come from the Wangqiu Town, and more and more confirmation of the accuracy of Yang Junshan’s earlier unintentional words.
There were no injuries on the body, and it did not look like he had been poisoned. It did not look like he had been plotted against, but rather, it was as if an old man who had used up all his vitality had died.
However, the more it was like this, the more Yang Junshan suspected that the culprit was a Shaman. The power of the Shaman Curse was originally so hard to guard against that, if it wasn’t for the fact that they knew how to deal with Shamans, it would be extremely difficult to find out anything from them. However, the Shamans were not originally from this world, so no one knew about them.
But because of that, Yang Junshan could not let Wu Shuo go. If it was really the doing of the Witch Clan, then wouldn’t Yang Junshan just be letting Wu Shuo go into the jaws of death?
It was said that the last person to come into contact with the Xiong Man Shan during his lifetime was a woman. However, the woman had disappeared later on, and now that the county magistrate and the Xiong Family had joined hands to seal off the entire Wangqiu Town, they were looking for her.
Since he had roughly determined the target of the search, the blockade imposed on the Wangqiu Town began to slow down. Thus, Yang Junshan decided to head to the Chenyu County to search for the third treasure. Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Shuo stood out again and decided to follow him.
“You still want to find your clansmen? I am only passing by the Wangqiu Town this time, and although the seal has been partially lifted, it is still an external and internal matter. If there is really someone who stands out, do you really think that the leader of the three great tyrants is someone to eat? ” Yang Junshan advised.
However, Wu Shuo had obviously made up his mind, and said: “Don’t worry, I have a secret communication method, I only need to leave my mark on the Wangqiu Town using my witch’s secret technique, as long as there are people hiding in the Wangqiu Town, there is a seventy to eighty percent chance that they can detect me.”
In desperation, Yang Junshan could only bring Wu Shuo and the others through the Wangqiu Town to Chenyu County, the journey was peaceful and quiet, no matter whether it was the people from Xiong Family or the cultivators from the town, they did not make things difficult for the two, but Yang Junshan could still see their vigilant eyes.
From what he had heard on the way here, it was said that in order to thoroughly investigate this matter, the Adept Chen had sent a group of Dream Yoga Guards over, and it was said that there were also important figures of their family overseeing this area. Yang Junshan and Yue Yang did not pass through any of the entrances, and could clearly see the two groups of people.
Wu Shuo also saw it clearly by Yang Junshan’s side, and mocked: “Although the investigation was strict, it seems more like they are competing with each other.”
Yang Junshan laughed: “If the culprit wants to look for the guardian, then there’s no need to fight.”
Wu Shuo laughed and asked, “Then who do you think will obtain the position of protector?”
Yang Junshan thought for a moment, then said: “Wangqiu Town iraditional area of influence of the Xiong Family, if you were to snatch the position of being the guard of this Wangqiu Town, it is equivalent to tearing off the face of the Xiong Family.
Yang Junshan paused for a moment, then said: “However, this can be considered as a chance after all, so I presume that County Governor Chen will not let everyone come here for nothing. I guess no matter what, he will drop a nail in the Wangqiu Town to pin Xiong Family down.”
The location of the treasure that was located in the Chenyu County was even further away. Even if Yang Junshan had the map fragment in his hand and Wu Shuo was helping from the side, he still had to spend an entire two days to find a cave that was sealed by a large boulder by the side of a mountain path.
“What a close call. I was just 10 feet away. This underground cave was actually found by the person who created this mountain.”
Yang Junshan and Wu Shuo were both extremely proficient in the field of body-tempering. Although this pile of rubble was much larger than human beings, they were able to quickly clear it out with a casual wave of their hands.
According to the Changsun Family’s remnant map, this place should originally bill, and Changsun Family’s large amount of cultivation resources were stored in a cave below the hill. However, an unknown number of years ago, a road was opened up here, and this hill was flattened.
This road was connected to Chenyu County City, and was also connected to Bluestone Town. There were also several villages nearby the road, and there were a lot of people passing by.
This path directly passed above the hole, and was only six or seven feet away from digging through it. Fortunately, the entrance to the hole was more than thirty feet away from the side of the road, and was extremely hidden.
When Yang Junshan and Wu Shuo entered the underground cave, there would often be people driving carriages past on the main road above. The rumbling sounds resonated in the cave, causing people’s ears to buzz and scream.
When the cave finally calmed down, Yang Junshan saw the mountain of cultivation materials and immediately said with a smile: “I never thought that the storage here is the largest among the three cave’s. How about it, let’s see if there’s anything that you need.”
Wu Shuo had already walked around the place, and upon hearing his words, he said: “You actually said there are a few things here, since you are so generous, I will not be courteous anymore. With these things, I believe that my cultivation will be able to return to the Second Stage of the Power Wu Realm in a short period of time.”
said from the side: “How do you plan to transport the things here? “There are quite a few pedestrians on the way up. If they were to bring someone with them, who knows how many people it would alarm.”
Yang Junshan had just found Qi Bei Yu in a wooden box, one of the forty-nine rare low rank spirit materials used to refine Chess. Upon hearing this, he laughed: “There’s no rush, the goods being transported from here will definitely attract the attention of the nearby Chenyu County people, we can take what the village protection formation needs from here first and think of a way later, in the autumn.”
The two of them spent more than half a day to pick out the items they needed, until their storage bag could no longer hold them, and had no choice but to give up some of the items they had picked earlier for something of higher value. Only then did they leave the underground cave.
Before leaving, Yang Junshan had once again set up a concealment array formation at the entrance of the cave. The two of them had even moved the huge rocks around and pressed the entrance of the cave down again.
The two of them drove a large carriage back along the road. Wu Shuo saw that Yang Junshan was still thinking about the storage bag in the carriage, and obviously wanted to count the rewards he had gotten in the cave, so he laughed: “How about it, what do you want to do the most right now?”
Yang Junshan shook the storage bag in his hand, and a middle-grade magic tool that was like a disc appeared in his hand, and laughed: “What I want to do the most is to exchange for the first half of the Earth Escape Technique from the dark market.”
Wu Shuo looked at the disk shaped magic tool in Yang Junshan’s hand, and asked: “You are willing to part with it?”
Yang Junshan was a little hesitant for a moment. In the underground cave of the Chenyu County, he had also found a Concealment Formation and a Jade Fragment Formation merging together in a corner. This time, he had even obtained three treasures after breaking the formation.
‘s own Mountain Monarch Seal was also a lower tier magical equipment, and Han Xiumei and Yang Tiezhu’s hands were both still empty. Honestly speaking, if this middle tier magical equipment was brought back to the clan, although it would not fit Han Xiumei and Yang Tiezhu’s cultivation method, it would still bare increase in strength for the Yang Family.
Moreover, the dark market only had half a set of Escape Technique. Even if Yang Junshan managed to cultivate it successfully, he would only be able to enter the ground and not escape.
Just as Yang Junshan was still hesitating about whether he should exchange the middle grade magic tool for the half set of Earth Escape Technique, Wu Shuo’s expression suddenly shook, he immediately discovered some movement, and just at this moment, the curtain at the entrance of the carriage fluttered, and a figure quietly entered.
