Ominous Clouds Gather, the Three Rivers Sect Faces Annihilation
A few days later, at Crouching Ox Pass!
In a room within the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Haoyu, the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Tianyou, the inheritor elder, and Feng Yuezhi, the patriarch of the Feng family, began a meeting that would determine the future direction of Longgu County.
Inside the room filled with wisps of smoke, several bright pearls emitted a warm glow, casting flickering light on the faces of the two people sitting opposite each other.
"Daoist Friends, please explain clearly what the letter you had Great White write was about." Feng Yuezhi sat there calmly, a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"Hehe, Daoist Friends Feng is a straightforward person, so I won't waste any more words. Our Yang Household has just received news that Red Cloud True Person seems to want to sell the Sect-Guarding Law Treasure, the Three Rivers Bowl, in exchange for a breakthrough Spirit Items, breaking through the current realm, breaking the deadlock, and revitalizing the Three Rivers Sect!"
"Oh?"
Feng Yuezhi replied indifferently, but his heart was in turmoil.
He smiled faintly and said, "Isn't this good for your Yang Household? With Red Cloud True Person breaking through to the Middle Golden Core, you will be able to truly stand on equal footing with my Feng Household!"
"Daoist Friends is joking. Let's not beat around the bush. The weak Three Rivers Sect is in the best interest of my Yang Household. If this sick tiger recovers, then it will be my Yang Household that feels uneasy!"
Yang Haoyu did not reveal the Yang Household's true intentions. It's always best not to say everything; keeping something in reserve is the safest approach.
"Not necessarily, is a three-way balance of power the best possible outcome?" Feng Yuezhi asked tentatively, his eyes flickering.
"But Dragon Valley County is only so big, and the profits are limited. If one faction takes a bigger bite, the other two take a smaller bite. The Three Rivers Sect doesn't have that kind of appetite, yet they insist on taking such a large share..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuezhi understood.
It turns out that the Yang Household had their eyes on the resources of the Three Rivers Sect.
Indeed, the Three Rivers Sect currently only has one Golden Core, thirteen Foundation Establishment Qi Refining disciples, yet they still cling to their past gains.
The Feng Household coveted these things but had no way of getting involved.
Because once they cross the border, the Yang Household and the Three Rivers Sect will join forces against them, and even if they obtain a large amount of fixed resources, they will not be able to hold onto them.
But the Yang Household is different. After seizing the resources, they can quickly digest and absorb them, while the Three Rivers Sect has to swallow their pride and bear it...
Feng Yuezhi had guessed the Yang Household Member's thoughts, and just as he was about to say something, Yang Haoyu continued to speak.
"Daoist Friends Feng, how about we join forces to destroy the Three Rivers Sect?"
"What?"
Feng Yuezhi stood up abruptly, then, seemingly realizing he wasn't composed enough, slowly sat back down.
However, Raging Waves was brewing in his heart.
Is the Yang Household going to destroy the Three Rivers Sect?
Have they lost their minds?
Could it be that the Yang Household is going to surrender to the Feng Household?
A variety of thoughts surfaced in my mind in an instant.
Seeing Feng Yuezhi, Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou were not surprised.
With the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation concealing their aura, and a gag order placed on the clansmen, the news of the Wolf Ancestor's breakthrough could not be spread for the time being.
Outsiders have no way of knowing the current strength of the Yang Household, so when considering issues, they often cannot break out of their preconceived notions.
However, given Feng Yuezhi's intelligence, he should be able to detect something amiss soon.
However, lacking sufficient information, he could only guess.
More likely, the blame will fall on Yunhua.
They believed that Yunhua's existence had fueled the Yang Household's ambitions.
This was a smokescreen set up by the Yang Household, intended to disrupt his thoughts.
After all, for the Feng Household, once the Yang Household reveals its current strength, Feng Yuezhi might not necessarily join forces with the Yang Household.
This Lineage's potential is terrifying. In such a short time, two Golden Core Combat Strength have emerged in succession. What will become of them in the long run?
In this way, he might even stop suppressing the Three Rivers Sect and instead join forces with them to suppress the Yang Household's development.
Based on Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou's deductions, given Feng Yuezhi's personality, this possibility is very high.
As expected, Feng Yuezhi, who had lived for over three hundred years, quickly calmed down and, in a flash, used the existing clues to deduce the Yang Household's purpose.
The final conclusion was that the Yang Household had become arrogant, believing that with Yunhua around, the Feng Household would not dare to attack Yang Household. In order to accelerate their development, they chose to join forces with the Feng Household to annex the Three Rivers Sect.
This explanation is undoubtedly quite reasonable. If the Wolf Ancestor hadn't broken through, the Yang Household's actions would have been perfectly acceptable, though they would have had to bear some of the risks from the Luochuan Sect.
Yunhua is, after all, the representative of the Luochuan Sect. If he were to excessively support the Yang Household, it would provoke dissatisfaction from other Golden Core Forces in Luochuan Commandery once the news got out.
Under immense pressure, even though Yunhua has many connections within the Luochuan Sect and has the Yun Household and True Person Beigong as her backers, she still has to restrain her behavior. This is a constraint she must bear before she can completely break free from the Luochuan Sect.
Why did Yunhua never linger on Purple Moon Mountain in the past?
The influence of the Luochuan Sect is the most important reason.
Having understood all this, Feng Yuezhi's heart stirred, and a smile appeared on his face. "Daoist Friends's thoughts coincide with mine, so let's join forces and destroy the Three Rivers Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou exchanged a glance, both seeing the unfathomable smile in each other's eyes.
With an agreement reached, the next step was to decide how to divide the spoils after the destruction of the Three Rivers Sect.
After more than an hour of heated debate, the Yang Household Feng Household agreed on the following distribution principles.
Apart from the shops in Crouching Ox Pass, all of the Fixed Assets of the Three Rivers Sect belonged to the Yang Household.
This includes more than twenty Spirit Veins of varying levels, Mineral Deposits, the entire Yellowstone Market, and other shops located on the east side of Dragon Valley County.
The Feng Household, on the other hand, received all the liquid assets, such as the Three Rivers Sect Sect-Guarding Law Treasure — the Third-Tier Upper-Grade Three Rivers Bowl.
Red Cloud True Person Life-Bound Law Treasure — the Fire God Red Gourd, and the Third Tier Sky-Burning Flame, etc.
Of course, these assets will also be calculated, with refunds for overpayments and additional payments for underpayments.
If there are too many liquid assets, some will be allocated to the Yang Household.
If that's not enough, the Yang Household will provide some Spirit Stones.
In general, it's roughly a 50/50 split.
Regarding classical texts, each person shall make a copy; specific details will depend on the circumstances.
After settling these matters, Feng Yuezhi stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said with a smile, "Then I wish both our families a successful operation!"
A month later, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the stars filled the heavens.
On Yang Household Purple Moon Mountain, two Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Flying Boats floated into the air, with dozens of spirited Lineage cultivators and twenty Spirit Beasts standing on the decks against the wind, exuding a majestic aura.
In this attack on the Three Rivers Sect, the Yang Household mobilized two Golden Core cultivators, twenty Foundation Establishment, and over fifty Qi Refining.
Wolf Ancestor did not travel with the main force, but instead lay in ambush outside Three Rivers Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Of the twenty Foundation Establishment Yang Household Cultivators: Yang Tianyou, Yang Dangmo, Yang Tiankang, Yang Tianxue, Yang Tianwang, Yang Lihe, Yang Qiongchuan, Yang Tianshi, Yang Tianyu, and Yang Tianxiong!
Among them, Yang Tianyu and Yang Tianxiong are the newly Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yang Household in recent years.
Ten Tier 2 Spirit Beasts — Fengling, Yuan Ba, Ruoqing, Giant Mountain —plus six Purple Moon Wolves!
It is worth mentioning that the Purple Moon Wolf Clan experienced a major surge in strength within five years. Not only did the Wolf Ancestor break through to the Third Tier, but twelve Tier 2 members also emerged.
In addition, three Tier 2 Purple Moon Wolves broke through to the Second-Tier Middle-Grade, and one broke through to the Second-Tier Upper-Grade, greatly enhancing the Yang Household's strength.
At the Qi Refining level, there are forty Qi Refining cultivators from the Yang Household, twenty of whom are newly emerging members of the clan.
The purpose of bringing them there this time is to increase their combat experience and also to let the new generation of clansmen see the cruelty of the Cultivation World. If they are not strong enough, they will be ruthlessly trampled upon, thereby stimulating their motivation to cultivate.
In addition, there were more than a dozen First-Tier Purple Moon Wolves, all of which were First-Tier Superior-Grade old wolves.
Their duty, on the one hand, is to fight.
On the other hand, it utilizes the speed advantage of the Purple Moon Divine Light to support the battlefield and minimize casualties.
In particular, he protected those twenty new generation members of the clan, saving them when they were in mortal danger.
In addition to their overt combat forces, the Yang Household's Shadow Hall, led by Yang Dangmo, were also deployed outside the Three Rivers Mountain to eliminate any remaining members of the Three Rivers Sect.
Meanwhile, some Shadow Hall clansmen, skilled in assassination, infiltrated Three Rivers City under the cover of their Lineage's spies, seeking opportunities to assassinate Three Rivers Sect disciples and create chaos.
It can be said that the Yang Household has laid Heavenly Net, and this time, they are determined to annihilate the Three Rivers Sect and divide Dragon Valley County equally with the Feng Household.
