Branch Elder Yang Tianshi
"Indeed, in the past few years, after the Lineage has collected and summarized the intelligence from various sources, it has been discovered that cultivators of Orthodox and Demonic Paths have begun to become active in several major states in the northern Northern River Region."
A month ago, Dang Long and his group discovered traces of the Dwarf Child in Mo Province.
"It's a pity, though. This guy is quite cautious. After wiping out a Foundation Establishment Lineage, he disappeared again." As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on Yang Haoyu's face.
Yunhua's fair face held a cool expression. Her lips parted slightly as she softly said, "Once they show themselves, they'll do it again. These Devil Cultivators have endured for decades. Knowing their nature, once they taste success again, they certainly won't be content to Concealment in the shadows."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou slowly nodded, "Madam is right. The Dwarf Child and the Five Poisons Old Devil cannot hide for long. It's just a pity that Old Devil Yan died at the hands of Nascent Soul Cultivator a few years ago, making it difficult for my Yang Household to avenge him personally."
Yang Haoyu sneered, "That Old Devil Yan is just unlucky. He only attacked a village, but he just happened to run into a traveling Nascent Soul Cultivator. If he doesn't die, who will?"
"Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. They're just withered bones in a tomb, like grasshoppers in autumn, they won't last long." Yang Tianyou waved his hand and asked, "Old Ancestor, the Purple Moon Army has been established for twenty years. What is its current combat strength?"
When this topic came up, Yunhua also looked over curiously.
It should be noted that the Yang Household had high hopes for the Purple Moon Army and invested a great deal of resources in it.
Spirit Pill, powerful Battle Formations, cultivation Cultivation Method, War Beast armor, War Law Artifacts, and more.
They are equipped with the best, and are in no way inferior to the elite Province-Level Powers.
The number of people is rather small, only about a hundred.
However, these one hundred people will be the Seeds of the Purple Moon Legion in the future.
As the legion grows, these people will rise from soldiers to squad leaders, Commanders, and from Commanders to legion commanders and marshals.
"You'll see the true strength of the Purple Moon Army in half a month when they hold their Triennial Martial Demonstration," Yang Haoyu said, keeping everyone in suspense, a deep smile in his eyes.
She seemed quite satisfied with the current combat strength of the Purple Moon Army.
"Oh? In that case, I'll be watching with anticipation!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
Three days later, a Pale-Cyan Flying Shuttle sped in from the south at an astonishing speed, comparable to that of Late Golden Core cultivator.
Finally, the Flying Shuttle stopped in front of Purple Moon Mountain. With a flash of light, Yang Tianshi stepped out.
He still had a blank expression, and even his eyes seemed like a stagnant pool. No matter how good someone was at reading people, they couldn't glean any information from those eyes.
He took out his Identity Token, swept it across the Clan-Guarding Array, and ripples appeared in the air in front of him, opening a narrow Portal.
Yang Tianshi observed the Formation before him, nodded slightly, and then stepped inside.
At the Purple Moon Mountain, shrouded in mist, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua returned after learning of Yang Tianshi's return.
"Tenth Brother, how did the Sect Examination go?" Yang Tianyou asked with a cupped hand and a smile.
"After passing the ninth level of the Four Symbols Tower, I obtained the Branch Elder Position and five thousand Elder-Level Contribution Points Contribution Points. I used one thousand of these points to exchange for various Formation manuals, and exchanged the remaining four thousand for various resources that the Lineage currently lacks."
Yang Tianshi spoke methodically, at a steady pace, with a flat tone, but his voice was unusually hollow.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou and his wife, as well as the old man Yang Haoyu, all showed a hint of helplessness on their faces, but they didn't say anything more.
That's just his personality; there's no need to force it. Yang Tianshi's love and loyalty to his Lineage are no less than anyone else's; he just never expresses it verbally.
Yang Tianyou took the Storage Ring handed to him by Yang Tianshi and scanned it with his Divine Sense. It contained two thousand Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, and the rest were various Cultivation Resources.
"It's still the fastest way to get resources by taking advantage of the Four Symbols Sect!" Yang Tianyou exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Yunhua covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "The Four Symbols Sect has done our Lineage a great favor. When we rise to power in the future, we must not forget to rebuild the Four Symbols Sect."
"That's natural." Yang Tianyou nodded slightly. "My Yang Household has always been grateful for kindness received."
At this moment, Yang Tianshi spoke up, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the Formation Valley to study Formations."
With that, he prepared to leave.
"Tenth Brother, wait a moment." Yang Tianyou quickly grabbed him, saying with a wry smile, "Tenth Brother, what's the rush? Our Lineage plans to upgrade the Spirit Vein to the Fourth Tier in the next few years. At that time, the Clan-Guarding Array will also need to be upgraded, which will inevitably require your help. You can't go into seclusion!"
Yang Tianshi turned his head and said expressionlessly, "Understood. After returning, I will focus on studying the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation."
"Tenth Brother, these are some Formation into formations from my sister-in-law. Please take them back for reference." Yunhua chuckled, took out a Jade Slip, and handed it to Yang Tianshi.
The latter accepted it, a barely perceptible change flickering across her stiff face. "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
After bowing, Yang Tianshi transformed into Escape Light and departed.
