Rampant Ambition

With the Wolf Ancestor breaking through to the Third Tier, the Yang Household's strength increased significantly, now possessing two Golden Core Level warriors and one guarding the Lineage to ensure the clan's survival and prosperity.

Whether it's venturing out to seize fortuitous opportunities, make friends, or participate in Golden Core Level trade fairs, having a member as a mobile combat force can make the Lineage's development path smoother.

Three months later

At the Purple Moon Mountain, Spiritual Qi abounds. A verdant fence encloses several acres of Third Tier Spirit Fields, where many spirit medicine are planted. Nourished by the abundant Spiritual Qi, these spirit medicine are growing very well.

Beside the stone table, Yang Tianyou looked at the vibrant scene and chuckled softly, "Old Ancestor, you've really done a remarkable job with this little Spirit Medicine Garden. It's a real shame you're not Spirit Plant Master."

Yang Haoyu waved his hand, "Once you understand one path, you understand everything. As your cultivation level increases, your understanding of the world will become more profound. Things that seemed obscure before are now just that simple."

No wonder cultivation level is always the most important thing. Without climbing to the top of a towering peak, one will ultimately remain confined to a small corner, like a frog at the bottom of a well!

Her expression was quite complex. Breaking through to the Golden Core did not bring her any relief; instead, it allowed her to see a much broader world of cultivation and to understand her own insignificance. She seemed to exude a kind of humility befitting a seeker of the Dao.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. You'll understand when you reach a certain level. Let's discuss the future development of the Lineage!"

Coming to his senses, Yang Haoyu smiled calmly and said softly.

Yang Tianyou nodded, then said, "Old Ancestor, with Wolf Ancestor breaking through to the Third Tier, our Lineage now has two Golden Core Combat Strength. If we add the three from the Feng Household and the one from the Three Rivers Sect, the entire Dragon Valley County will have six native Golden Core cultivators!"

"What are you trying to say?" Yang Haoyu took a sip of tea, raising an eyebrow slightly, as if he had guessed something.

"I mean, even a mountain cannot hold two tigers, let alone three tigers sharing a room..." A dangerous glint flashed in Yang Tianyou's eyes.

"My grandson has received news that Red Cloud True Person of the Three Rivers Sect seems to be making a desperate gamble, preparing to sell the Sect-Guarding Treasure Three Rivers Bowl in exchange for a breakthrough Pills to break through to the Middle Golden Core realm. If he succeeds in breaking through, it will not be a good thing for our Yang Household."

"Oh? Where did you get this information?" Yang Haoyu sat up straight and asked.

In recent years, in order to consolidate her cultivation, she has entrusted Yang Tianyou with all the important Lineage affairs. In addition, with the rapid development of the Yang Household, she is not fully aware of many aspects of the Lineage's current situation.

Yang Tianyou chuckled, his expression enigmatic, "Old Ancestor, not everyone is as radical as Red Cloud True Person, for example, Qi Guijie..."

"Is that so?" Yang Haoyu suddenly realized, but he wasn't surprised at all.

As everyone knows, Red Cloud True Person of the Three Rivers Sect has a bad temper, dislikes meddling in affairs, and is not good at dealing with people.

After his senior brother, Raging Tide True Person, perished, Red Cloud True Person not only did not change his personality, but instead became even more obsessive.

Instead of focusing on developing their sect, they believed that as long as their cultivation level improved, they could turn the tide.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that his cultivation level was far from reaching the peak of the Early Golden Core realm, and as a mere Lower Vehicle Golden Core, even with the assistance of Spirit Items, he might not have absolute confidence in breaking through the bottleneck of the Middle Golden Core.

"Therefore, Qi Guijie objects. But as far as I know, he is quite loyal to the Three Rivers Sect. Even if he disagrees with Red Cloud True Person's plan, why would he leak such important information?" Yang Haoyu frowned and looked at Yang Tianyou.

The latter stroked his chin, a playful look on his face, "Old Ancestor, Qi Guijie's loyalty to the Three Rivers Sect doesn't mean that those around him are the same, especially the young people."

"Or rather, they weren't disloyal, but rather their ideas were a bit too radical; they wanted to use the Yang Household's power to shatter Red Cloud True Person's illusions."

"I must say, if my Yang Household only had one Golden Core cultivator, this situation might indeed have occurred, but they don't know that the Wolf Ancestor has also broken through!"

After Yang Tianyou finished speaking, he grinned, his white teeth gleaming with a chilling light.

"What do you intend to do? You need to understand that Wolf Uncle and I have only recently broken through to the Golden Core stage. Even if we gang up on Red Cloud True Person, we could only manage a draw at best, and that would be because his attributes are incompatible with the Three Rivers Bowl magic Law Artifact. After all, he broke through to the Golden Core several decades ago, and his strength is still considerable!"

"Our family alone can't handle it, but what if we add the Feng Household? Our Old Ancestor has set up the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation, and our Old Ancestor has broken through. Our Lineage no longer needs the Three Rivers Sect to share the pressure from the Feng Household; they are no longer of any use."

"However, more than one-third of the various Mineral Deposits, more than twenty Spirit Veins, Yellowstone Market, etc. in Dragon Valley County are still in the hands of the Three Rivers Sect."

It's laughable that Red Cloud True Person lacks self-awareness, and Qi Guijie is a cowardly and incompetent man, hesitant in his actions, attempting to cling to his existing interests with his meager strength, unaware that this is a path to death!

Yang Tianyou said a lot, but his target was very clear: the Three Rivers Sect.

Yang Haoyu was tempted. She was naturally an extremely shrewd person with ruthless methods, but having just broken through to the Golden Core, she had devoted most of her energy to the Dao of Heaven and Earth and was not so perceptive about external matters.

Now, after Yang Tianyou's reminder, he immediately realized his mistake.

Indeed, given the current weakness of the Three Rivers Sect, how could they possibly claim so many benefits?

Red Cloud True Person actually wants to break through to the Middle Golden Core; isn't this forcing the Feng and Yang Households to join forces?

After thinking for a while, Yang Haoyu's expression became firm. "We'll do it your way. But are you confident about dealing with the Feng Household?"

"A few days ago, I had a member of the clan send a letter to the head of the Feng Household, saying that we would meet at Crouching Ox Pass in ten days. By now, Feng Yuezhi and Feng Qingyang should have received the letter."

"In that case, let's prepare. Have the Lineage allocate War Resources. If negotiations with the Feng Household go smoothly, then send troops to annihilate the Three Rivers Sect!"

In the elegant, quiet room of the Feng Household's Clearwind Valley, Feng Yuezhi and his grandson Feng Qingyang were discussing something.

"Grandpa, what exactly do you think the Yang Household means by inviting us to Crouching Ox Pass to discuss important matters, saying it concerns the future of Dragon Valley County? What are they really up to?"

Holding a letter in his hand, Feng Qingyang frowned, his face showing confusion.

Feng Yuezhi beckoned, and the letter fell into his palm. He opened the envelope and examined it carefully several times, his gaze growing increasingly solemn with each reading.

Between the lines, the sharpness of the Yang Household's Great White Blade is fully revealed; this tone...

"In a few days, you will guard the Lineage, and I will personally make a trip to Crouching Ox Pass. I have a feeling that something big is about to happen in Dragon Valley County this time!"
