Sovereign to Immortality

The damage caused by the giant locust invasion this time was far beyond everyone's imagination, even when the Jade Province's cultivation world was prepared for it. In the originally tense south of the Jade Province, the Heaven Shaking Sect had clashed with the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Opening Spirit Sect, and because of the locust swarm rampaging within the region, they had no choice but to temporarily focus their main attention on exterminating the locust.    

    

The locust disaster hadn't caused too much damage to the village, but looking at the scene of the locust swarm that covered the skies outside the village protection array, it caused everyone's scalps to go numb.    

    

Although it was unable to shake the protection of the magnetic spirit array, the daily consumption for the operation of the magic array had more than doubled. Furthermore, the operation of such a huge magic array was impossible to keep up with, and as a result, a locust swarm or two happened to break into the village every day.    

    

Even though most of the Martial Disciples in the Yang Family were sent out, Xu Sanniang, Zhang Jiu Chen, Shi Nan Shen and other Martial Disciples did not dare to relax their vigilance. These locusts would usually just enter the village, but they would be annihilated by the combined forces of the cultivators.    

    

During this period of time, the Yang Family sent a team led by a Martial Disciple from Xishan Village to help them fight against the locust swarm. However, they won a lot of prestige for the Yang Family.    

    

At the same time, the rumor that the Yang Family from Xishan Village was fighting for the Wasteland Town's Prominent Class had been spread among the villages. In fact, everyone in Mengyu County had heard of this matter.    

    

There were also people who asked the Western Mountain Village's Extermination Squadron for confirmation regarding this matter. However, these people would usually smile and not answer, as if they had already agreed to this matter. It seemed like they were no longer concealing their ambitions.    

    

However, although most of the residents of Wasteland Town didn't applaud or praise this event, they basically didn't have any resistance towards it. Most of them stood on the neutral side, however, for the Yang family, this attitude was enough.    

    

This place was covered by a dense forest. An Xia was currently standing on the edge of the valley with a few Yang Clan disciples, watching the faint buzzing sound coming from the forest. Occasionally, one or two giant locusts would reveal their bodies from within, and they were all twice the size of the normal individuals in the large locust swarm.    

    

"Good boy, the giant locust hiding here should be around one foot in size, and this is only the locust guard of the insect king." Good boy, the giant locust hiding here should be about one foot in size, and this is only the locust guard of the insect king. Yang Qianhai said in surprise.    

    

An Xia's expression was not too good. She turned around and asked, "How is the situation in the village? Have you set up the formation plate for the 'Jin' formation that Little Shan gave us?"    

    

"It has already been set up," Yang Qianhai showed hesitation on his face as he said: "But, this formation has a miraculous effect on killing locusts, do you really want me to teach it to others?"    

    

An Xia's face also revealed a hint of regret, and she sighed: "The news of this formation has already spread throughout the Western Mountain Village, and we can't protect this formation. Compared to being threatened by others when the time comes, we might as well take it out generously, although this formation is simple and easy to be imitated by others, but at least for a short period of time, it's enough for us to earn a large amount of jade coins!"    

    

"Sigh, that's true. Although we've been sending out quite a few array discs recently, there are still quite a few people coming to purchase!"    

    

"Alright, let's talk about this later. Let's first eliminate the insect king hiding in the forest. This way, the locust plague in Earth Meng Village can be greatly reduced!"    

    

Even though Yang Qianhai stopped smiling, he still muttered, "This locust plague is overwhelming. Even if we kill this insect king, who knows if there will be another one tomorrow. This is way bigger than the one with the giant locust plague!"    

    

Under the guidance of a few cultivators from the Western Mountain Village, they laid down a few formations on several of the most important spirit farmlands and pastures in the village. When the raging locust swarm passed over the area covered by the formations, it was as if they were suddenly pressed down by a heavy weight and fell to the ground, struggling randomly. As for the villagers who were waiting in the surroundings, they simply pulled a huge stone wheel and crushed it down.    

    

This was one of the most outstanding disciples among the younger generation of the Tu Meng Village. He had only advanced to the Martial Master realm last year, so he was usually taken seriously by Meng Shan.    

    

Meng Shan turned his head and glanced at him, asking, "You've already learned how to set up the formation?"    

    

Meng Yu's face had a trace of joy on it. "Second Uncle, don't worry. That formation was not that difficult and it was recorded in your nephew's mind. This time, the Yang family from Xishan Village is very kind and taught in detail."    

    

A trace of ridicule flashed across Meng Shan's face, and he sneered, "Do you think that the people of the Yang family are so kind? Do you really think that you have learnt the art of setting up formations? "The Dao of array formations is vast and profound. All you people have learned is the method of setting up array discs, that's all. Do any of you know the true details of that array formation?"    

    

Seeing the look of astonishment on Meng Yu's face, Meng Shan explained, "Those formation plates are all one-time use items and can't be used repeatedly. Seeing the look of astonishment on Meng Yu's face, Meng Shan explained," Those formation plates are one-time use tools and can't be used repeatedly.    

    

"Of course to go to the Western Mountain Village to buy a new formation plate."    

    

After saying that, Meng Yu suddenly said, "Second Uncle, are you saying that the Yang Family will take this opportunity to raise the price and make a fortune?"    

    

Meng Shan sighed, "Raising the price is not enough, the Yang family has always wanted a lot, so they won't ruin their own reputation at this time, but to make a fortune, as far as I know, this formation called 'One Jin' is not difficult in itself, it's just a trick. As a result, the formation plates and tools are very simple, their costs are very low, and they can be mass-produced, so even if the price is not high, the total amount will still be very impressive."    

    

Right now, many villages have rushed to the West Mountain Village to buy ready-made array discs, and there are also people from other villages. In these past few years, Yang Tian has been able to grasp every opportunity to strengthen the Yang Family.    

    

Meng Yu seemed to have thought of something at this time, and said in a low voice: "Second Uncle, I heard that the Yang Family is going to become the Prominent Class of Wasteland Town. That Yang Tian Gang is going to become the guardian of Wasteland Town."    

    

Meng Shan looked at him and said, "This is not a secret. Having control over a small town is the basic requirement for a Prominent Class. If the Yang Family wants to become the Prominent Class of Wasteland Town, then the place they will guard is the place Yang Tian has to obtain!"    

    

"Then …" Meng Yu felt that his mood was very strange. It was as if he should feel angry at this moment.    

    

He then heard Meng Shan, who was standing next to him, laugh, "You don't have to be so conflicted. Back then, when I, your second uncle, was in charge of guarding this town, I was already somewhat surprised. With the strength of my Meng clan and your second uncle's cultivation base, if it wasn't for Yang Tian's help, I'm afraid that not many people would have placed us in their eyes!"    

    

What Yang Tian has just done can be considered righteous and righteous on this point. The Yang family has taken action several times, and we have all gained benefits from following them, as the saying goes, one can only take advantage of the person and not the person. Now that I think about it, Yang Tian Gang has been arranging for the rise of the Yang family ever since, and those benefits are all for the sake of protecting the position today.    

    

Meng Yu was completely stunned by what his uncle had said. He couldn't help but say, "That Yang Tian is very scheming, but what should we do? Could it be that Second Uncle will give up the position of guardian?"    

    

"Foolish!"    

    

Meng Shan pointed at Meng Yu and lectured, "Do you think that Yang Tian is easy to deal with? Do you still remember that I said before that the Yang family's schemes all these years were like foresight? Don't you think it's strange? Back then, when the two villages, Tuqiu and Tu Shi, merged together, the Xiong and Yu families of the three strongest people supported Shi Jiu Tong as the leader of the village, but in the end, it all ended up in Yang Tian Gang's hands. "    

    

Meng Yu naturally knew what had happened and said, "Second Uncle, do you mean that the backers of the Yang family are the county magistrate?"    

    

Meng Shan snorted coldly and said, "Otherwise, how could you think that Yang Tian, who had just left his family, would be able to establish such a large family property in the Western Mountain Village?"    

    

Meng Shan paused for a moment, then said, "This time around, the battle between the three powerhouses at the border will give rise to a victory for the Chen County, which will probably speed up the differentiation and suppression of the three powerhouses. The support of the small family will destroy the three powerhouses that are deeply rooted in Mengyu County, which is one of the methods that the Chen County uses.    

    

Meng Yu let out an "ah" sound and said, "Then doesn't that mean that the Yang Family will get some benefits? Then our Meng Family …"    

    

"Don't forget, the three great warriors have been in operation in this county for hundreds of years. Although the Chen County Magistrate is powerful now, but the strong dragon cannot suppress the snake in the ground, his Yang family is powerful for a time, but he is also taking the risk of losing her entire family. Right now, his Yang family has more than ten Martial Disciples, and Yang Tian Gang is even at the fourth level of Martial Disciple.    

    

Meng Yu nodded his head excitedly and said, "Don't worry Second Uncle. I will definitely work hard to cultivate. My Meng Clan will definitely not lose out to the Yang Clan in the future!"    

    

Meng Shan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Well done. Our Meng Clan needs this kind of determination. You can go first. Remember to guard the best spirit farmlands in the village!"    

    

Watching his nephew leaving, Meng Shan suddenly thought of Yang Tian Gang's son. He couldn't help but bitterly smile and whispered, "He is not worse than the Yang family. Heh!"    

    

One of the largest locust kings had a body size of almost one foot and a half. However, at this time, the locust king's body had already been dismembered by An Wu, leaving only two hard looking upper jaws in his hands. He said with some ridicule: "A pair of low level immortal spirits, but where do you want this item to be used? Do you have any spiritual cavities for cultivators with two front teeth?"
