Sovereign to Immortality

It was an unexpected surprise that there was actually an undamaged magical artifact left behind!    

    

Although Yang Junshan was also happy, he was not as overjoyed as Yang Tian Gang and the rest. After the initial pleasant surprise, Meng Shan's expression was also somewhat regretful and reluctant, because he knew that no matter what, this magical equipment would not be given to him.    

    

In front of everyone, Yang Junshan directly picked up this short whip magic tool from the ground, and at the same time, he picked up the storage bag from the bandit leader's body.    

    

Although this whip appeared to be only as thick as a thumb, it was actually crafted from ten different types of slender vines that had undergone exquisite processing. Of course, the so-called creation of this whip was only on the surface, but in reality, it still couldn't be separated from the artificer's methods.    

    

Since Yang Junshan had the experience of his previous life, he naturally saw through the background of this magical equipment. He passed it to Han Xiumei in front of everyone and said, "Mother, this magical equipment is quite compatible with your cultivation art. Since you have already advanced to the martial man realm for a long time, it looks like your dantian will produce turbid Qi and enter into the second stage.    

    

Although Han Xiumei's heart warmed up when she saw the magical equipment, there were so many people present after all, and they all contributed to the extermination of the bandits. She was naturally too embarrassed to ask for it, but when she saw her son passing the magical equipment to her as if no one else was present, she could not help but rebuke, "You child, who is not your senior? Don't be such a joke."    

    

Yang Tian just smiled and didn't say anything, but Meng Shan was the first to advise him, "Hey, Sister-in-law, I'll have to say a few words for my eldest nephew. If it wasn't for my eldest nephew's plan, how could we find the nest of this group of bandit leaders?" If it weren't for my eldest nephew setting up the formation, how would we have been able to eliminate this group of bandits in one fell swoop? "Sister-in-law, you don't need this magic tool, but according to the merit, this magic tool should be given to my eldest nephew. Even if brother Yang wanted it, I still wouldn't accept it, but now that my eldest nephew wants it as a gift, who would dare to say anything?"    

    

Who would dare? As long as you, Meng Shan, didn't say anything, then no one else had the right to say anything!    

    

Yang Junshan glanced at Meng Shan somewhat gloomily, this fellow called him "Eldest Nephew" and even said that he was a guard of Wasteland Town, even to the point of being a little silly. If it wasn't for Yang Tian, who was also the deputy guard of the village in the Wasteland Town, Yang Junshan felt that this guard position would have been pushed down a long time ago, however, Yang Junshan felt that this person was crafty.    

    

Hearing Meng Shan's words, Han Xiumei quickly declined. "Brother Meng, you flatter me. This kid is just relying on a little bit of luck and intelligence. Meng Shan has put in a lot of effort in this battle. I think it's best to give this magic tool to Brother Meng."    

    

If he had really shamelessly taken this magical equipment, Yang Tian Gang might not have stopped him, but from now on, even if his relationship with the Western Mountain Village ran out, in the current Wasteland Town, he still could not do without Meng Shan, but he could not do without Yang Tian Gang. Meng Shan still wanted to stay in the place where the Wasteland Town was guarding, so he could not offend Yang Tian Gang.    

    

Although Meng Shan didn't know why Yang Tian hadn't fought him for the position of the guard and had willingly helped him again and again with the title of a vice guard, he knew that the Yang Family in Xishan Village had a big ambition and was very happy about it.    

    

Seeing that Han Xiumei was still being modest, Zhang Tie said, "Sister-in-law Yang, please don't be modest. I don't think that anyone else is qualified to use this magic tool. Hehe, just share the rest with us."    

    

Meng Shan agreed and said, "There are still a lot of cultivation materials obtained by robbing all the caravans in the cave. Since the Yang family's sister-in-law has gotten the magical equipment, we can share some of the things inside."    

    

At this time, Yang Tian finally spoke up and smiled, "Thank you for your kind intentions. Since everyone is willing to give up this magical equipment, then I will not be stingy in taking the rest. Right now, we can only take twelve carriages of supplies with us, Brother Meng and Brother Zhang can split it."    

    

When they first arrived, they had already told Yang Tian that they would only get one carriage of the items and materials. Although Meng Shan's cultivation was one level higher than Zhang Tie, he was still a villager of Western Mountain, and was one level closer to Meng Shan. Therefore, their shares were the same.    

    

However, the spoils of war that the two of them had distributed had increased from one cart to three carts. They were ecstatic in their hearts, but they were also amazed by Yang Tian's huge sum of money that had just won them over. They did not have the wealth of Yang Tian Gang, so each carton of goods was worth at least a thousand jade coins and three carts was three thousand jade coins.    

    

The two were still hesitating on whether they should decline when they heard Yang Tian waving his hand and said, "It's settled then!"    

    

Due to the lack of time, there was a chance that other members of the Heavenly Wolf Sect could find this place and join up with the dead bandits. Thus, Meng Shan and Zhang Jiexi happily led the packhorse beasts out of the cave and each took out three carts of supplies.    

    

Seeing that everyone was pulling the horse cart, Yang Junshan took the bandit leader's bag of holding and put it into his own pocket. On the other hand, Bao Yu took out two of the other four grey bags of holding, each containing a two feet square space. With a wave of his hand, Yang Tian gave the contents of the bags to Meng Shan and Blacksmith Zhang, causing the two of them to express their gratitude. However, what they didn't know was that after Bao Yu'er found the two bags of holding, he had already moved some useful things into one of the bags of holding that Jun Yang Shan had given her.    

    

"Hey, isn't this the bag that the bandit leader was carrying just now? What's in it?"    

    

Meng Shan was the first to notice the cloth bag that was sent flying when the bandit chief and Yang Tian first started fighting, but he was still quite cautious. Although he saw the cloth bag, he did not immediately open it, and instead used the Imperial Censor's magic tool to cut the bag open.    

    

Meng Shan let out a "heh" and laughed, "This bandit cultivator from the Heavenly Wolf Sect is quite satisfied. Not only is he robbing money, he is also robbing lust!"    

    

When Yang Junshan saw the clothes of the person who rolled out from the cloth bag, his head buzzed as he thought to himself, "Oh no, how could it be her!"    

    

Yang Tian and An Xia, who were also familiar with the woman in the cloth bag, also had a slightly ugly look on their faces.    

    

Meng Shan was originally in high spirits. Although he hadn't seen the girl's face clearly, just his figure made his heart heat up, and he was thinking of asking the girl to come over and be his concubine when he returned to the village. However, when he saw the Yang father and son's expressions, his heart involuntarily thumped as he asked hesitantly, "What, is there something wrong?"    

    

Seeing that the girl had fainted, Han Xiumei walked forward and brushed her hair away, revealing a beautiful face that had a hint of coldness in it. Who else could it be other than Xiong Xiyi?    

    

Yang Tian let out a sigh, knowing that he couldn't hide this matter. Fortunately, everyone was still considered grasshoppers on the same rope, so he said, "This girl's surname is Xiong, Xiong Xiyi, and she belongs to the Xiong Family, one of the three strongest people in this county!"    

    

Just as Yang Tian finished his sentence, Meng Shan let out an "ah". Not only was there shock on his face, there was also fear!    

    

Yang Junshan stepped forward and placed his hand on Xiong Xiyi's neck. He stood up and said, "It's sealed by a secret art. There's no life threatening danger. This is a hot potato, what should we do?"    

    

Yang Tian Gang said thoughtfully, "Why did the bandit disciples of the Heavenly Wolf Sect leave behind the life of this woman? Is it really because of her perverted nature?"    

    

Meng Shan composed himself and said, "Brother Yang, don't tell me you think that this girl's identity saved her life?"    

    

Yang Tian smiled and said, "What do you think about Brother Meng and Brother Zhang?"    

    

Whether she stayed or not, if the news were to leak out, it would be of no benefit to everyone here. The most obvious effect would be that the large amount of resources they had already obtained would no longer be preserved.    

    

Meng Shan patted the carriage beside him and said, "Anyway, I don't want to let others know about the three carriages that I have split with them!"    

    

Blacksmith Zhang was even more straightforward, saying, "I think we might as well just kill him. It'll be over with once and for all!"    

    

"You can't!"    

    

Yang Junshan objected first: "All these powerful people have secret talismans on them, once they die, they will be known by the family members, and they can even determine the general location of the victims. They might even have some secret skills to lock onto the killer's aura. The Xiong family is not someone we can mess with right now."    

    

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard what she said, feeling increasingly frightened and helpless. An Xia said, "Anyway, this girl doesn't have much intelligence. We just need to leave her here to avoid having to worry about her all day."    

    

An Ran's words were actually what the others were thinking about. Yang Tian saw that Yang Junshan was confident and jokingly scolded him, "Little brat, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us what you think!"    

    

Yang Junshan laughed, "No matter what, we should leave the valley first. Otherwise, after a while, it would be hard to escape."    

    

Twelve packhorses and twelve large carriages were pulling them. In a quarter of an hour, they had already arrived at the boundary where the county prince's residence was located.    

    

On the way back, Yang Junshan saw that the others were in a daze, so he suddenly smiled and asked, "How about we be kidnappers and use this woman to blackmail the Xiong Family for some benefits?"

His family was delayed because of something.
