Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 999 - 580: Aftermath, City-Building, and... Hidden Dangers (Part 2)

Chapter 999: Chapter 580: Aftermath, City-Building, and... Hidden Dangers (Part 2)

In truth, while she was pondering, she was communicating with Yang Genshuo through Divine Sense.

After a moment of discussion, the two finally reached a consensus.

"I actually got something wrong all along..."

Yang Qiangjing took off her monocle and scanned the members of the Shangguan Family and the Liu Family with her eyes.

Compared to Shangguan Yixin’s active self-rescue, Liu Changqing was already drained, his face ashen, eyes vacant, completely exhausted like a dead pig.

But upon hearing Yang Qiangjing’s words, he couldn’t help but perk up his ears.

He knew he was finished, but he just wanted to hear what the smartest person in the Yang Family intended to do.

The gaze of others also turned to Yang Qiangjing, waiting for her to speak the next word.

Because her words represented the Yang Family, represented the ancestor.

"I used to think that the Ancient Immortal Clan had deep heritage, outstanding talent, hidden trump cards that we didn’t possess, knowledge unknown to us, and vision we lacked, but... after witnessing your actions, I was wrong."

"The so-called Ancient Immortal Clan is merely a bunch of short-sighted insects."

At this time, Yin Zhixiang couldn’t stand it; he immediately looked at Yang Qiangjing, signaling with his eyes: I’m different from them~

Yang Qiangjing glanced at the three of them and deliberately emphasized:

"Including the Yin Family."

Yin Family’s three brothers: "???"

Goodness, giving you a signal was to emphasize it, was it???

"Really, when helping your Yang Family in the Magic Battle just now, why didn’t you say this? If I had known, I wouldn’t have come, such bad luck!"

Yin Zhiping couldn’t bear this kind of insult, and angrily stood up!

"Hmm?"

Yang Qiangyou turned his head, and the Black Dragon also looked at Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping: "...."

Yang Qiangjing waved her hand towards Yang Qiangyou.

"Brother, no need to scare them, I’m stating facts. You Yin Family members are so short-sighted that you needed Douyang Cultivators to teach you what to do... but in the end, you did the right thing. I’ll provide you with a better path, helping you obtain the status your strength deserves."

Hmm? Going to include us?

Yin Zhiping immediately sat down: "But that being said... our relationship with the Yang Family has always been good, mutual help is naturally to be expected, hahaha~ haha~ ha~"

Shangguan Yixin looked completely dark, while Liu Changqing gave a scornful laugh.

"The victor becomes king, the loser becomes the bandit, why say so much nonsense? If you want to kill, then kill, if I were to succeed... hmph~"

Yang Qiangjing continued:

"You cannot comprehend..."

"Because the education you’ve received since childhood is still rooted in the ancient world order of killing for treasure, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, believing that Immortal Cultivation is merely a struggle for Heavenly Dao, where others can be sacrificed... an outdated zero-sum game mentality."

"Physical illness can be treated, but there’s no cure for a diseased heart. Today, without your Liu Family, Shangguan Family, Feng Family, Yin Family... there will still be other Ancient Immortal Clans, as long as the Yang Family possesses great treasures, someone will always want to take them."

Liu Changqing, with an excited expression, said:

"This Life Divine Tree, if I don’t take it, it’s your Yang Family’s, and the one to achieve immortality will be that kid Li Fan. You speak so lightly, but if such an opportunity were presented to a Yang Family member, could they resist? What are you pretending to be a renowned sect for???"

"Our Liu Family contends for this Heavenly Dao! Going along with the mortal, defying the heavens to become immortal!"

After hearing this, Yang Qiangjing shook her head.

"I ask you just three questions, is Li Fan a member of the Yang Family? Can the power of the Life Divine Tree cultivate only one person? How has the Yang Family treated you before?"

With just three questions, Liu Changqing was rendered speechless.

He was envious of Li Fan’s ability to cultivate the Life Divine Tree, to cultivate alongside it, so he taught Li Fan a problematic Cultivation Technique, eventually seizing control of the Life Divine Tree from his hands, using the Spirit Tree to prove his way.

But he forgot one thing... Li Fan wasn’t a member of the Yang Family, before he married Yang Qiangjin, he was already cultivating the Life Divine Tree. He had heard Li Fan say... he was once just an ordinary person who admired the former Family Head Yang Shi, who had passed away.

He had, step by step, worked his way to the core management of the Danai Empire, becoming a favored person of the Yang Family, and ultimately marrying Yang Qiangjin.

The Yang Family trusted him, allowing him to use the Life Divine Tree for Cultivation, while also nurturing the Life Divine Tree, which was mutually beneficial...

If he were willing to collaborate with the Yang Family and serve as a guest professor at something like the Xuanwu Academy... perhaps he could also...

Yang Qiangjing was right, the Life Divine Tree isn’t just for one person, in the Ancient Era, it was the cradle of strong figures in the Human Clan.

Since initiating his plans, Liu Changqing had never hesitated, just like when he first laid eyes on the Life Divine Tree, he had constantly been making plans for this day.

And these three questions left Liu Changqing lost in thought...

He began to doubt himself.

Yang Qiangjing was also too tired to utter another word to him.

"In a world of great contention, how can you achieve good development with a group of insects?"

"Shangguan Yixin, I once spared you... I thought I needed to use your power, but I was wrong..."

Shangguan Yixin’s face changed incessantly, and he asked: "What do you mean by this... are you mocking that I can’t solve problems? Go ahead and state the real solution... at most, you’ll demand more chips."

"You have no use to me whatsoever..."

Yang Qiangjing had lost interest in negotiating terms with people like Shangguan Yixin.

Such people are not worthy of speaking with the Yang Family.

Shangguan Yixin’s face suddenly changed.

"What are you going to do..."

"Brother, kill him."

Yang Qiangyou sneered, then directly crushed down with a dragon claw.

"No! No!!! Save me!!!"

Shangguan Yixin never expected that Yang Qiangjing would really dare to kill him!

His Nine Great Piano Masters had already been controlled, completely unable to save him, even if they were their young lord...

Splatter!

The dragon claw crushed Shangguan Yixin’s head, thoroughly grinding it into a lump of flesh.

The Shangguan Family was collectively terrified, angry, and... afraid.

"What about these people?"

Yang Qiangyou lifted the dragon claw, as if he had just crushed an ant.

Yang Qiangjing coldly laughed: "Shangguan Yixin deserved to die, but these people’s power... I can still use it, seal them all up."

"Huh? You killed their master, aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate against you?"

Yang Qiangjing did not answer, turning to look at Yang Qiangjin and Yang Feng.

"I remember... there is a magic in the Reverse Flow Technique that can forcibly manipulate others’ souls, turning them into zombies."

Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Soul Stealing was indeed the key part taught in this volume of the Reverse Flow Technique.

"But this is a Demon Technique..."

"To deal with enemies, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Demon Technique or a Righteous Technique, as long as it achieves the goal, it’s a good cultivation technique, this is also what the ancestor meant."

"Okay... okay."

Everyone looked at Yang Qiangjing with a bit of... fear in their eyes.

They all realized Yang Qiangjing had changed.

"And what about Liu Changqing? Should we just kill him too? I have to return in a few days..." Yang Qiangyou asked.

"Leave him, I still have use for him, we should go help Master Murong now."

Shangguan Yixin was killed on the spot, Liu Changqing was sealed and imprisoned.

The group, having resolved this issue, proceeded to Trial Town to assist Murong Ziyan.

A day later, the Demon Clan retreated...

Everyone gathered in Trial Town to discuss the upcoming town-building plan.

At this moment, a sound came from outside the town.

Caw~ Caw~

A mournful cry came from afar, a large long-haired parrot flew from afar.

On its back lay the corpse of Yang Fuqing...

"Da Mao..."

This was the first time the Yang Family had truly seen the corpse of Yang Fuqing... Her expression was still frozen in disbelief, having been killed by Liu Changqing.

In her last moments, she never imagined... Liu Changqing would turn into an assassin against her.

Her intelligence network penetrated the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan, but against internal clans like the Liu Family and Yin Family... she was powerless, even she couldn’t see through Liu Changqing’s true actions.

She died just like that, leaving behind not a word except a whisper, "Ancestor..."

Li Fan managed to do what he wanted before he died, left behind what he wanted to say, but Yang Fuqing died under Liu Changqing’s despicable sneak attack, unable to say anything, she didn’t leave the Yang Family any explanation.

"Aunt..."

Yang Qiangjin, Yang Qiangjing, Yang Qiangyou, Yang Feng, Yang Qiangwei looked at her... unable to speak for a long time.

Trial Town’s people slowly gathered, looking at Yang Fuqing’s corpse, silent.

It was a moment of silent mourning for a departed friend.

"She was a kind person..."

"She saved many from the Demon Clan and helped many Spirit Beasts."

"She always advocated that humans and demons are equal, as long as the hostility is dropped, anyone can be friends... Many of our brothers and sisters fled from Devil Wind Forest because of her."

The Human Clan and Demon Clan both had great respect for Yang Fuqing, this woman dedicated her entire life to striving for peace...

As they mourned, the portal of the Trial Tower behind them glowed.

A person stepped out from it.

"Eh? Why is it so quiet today? Why isn’t anyone avoiding me? Don’t blame me if my cultivation gets off track tonight..."
