Sun Ming's face took on a nostalgic look. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The Yang Clan is renowned throughout the Green Toad Archipelago for artifact refining. Their legacy runs deep, and they wield considerable influence in the archipelago. The Yang Clan's trade caravans also do business on the Central Heaven Continent. They openly have five Nascent Soul Cultivators, though there may actually be more."
"The strongest among them is Yang Qinglong, who possesses Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. However, he formed his Nascent Soul long ago and rarely shows himself.
