Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 541 Darong cannot accommodate the Yang family.

When they heard Yang Zhengshan say he was going to kill them, Cheng Wuji and Han Changshun immediately struggled violently.

Deng Yuehe's already uneasy heart became even more uneasy.

"What are you still standing there for? Help me drag them away and kill them!" Seeing how hard they were struggling, Luo Jinsong quickly said to Li Chang beside him.

Li Chang and several of his followers stepped forward and dragged Cheng Wuji and Han Changshun away.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Deng Yuehe, an old woman who seemed to be in her forties. Her eyes were covered with crow's feet, but one could still tell that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

Of course, what Yang Zhengshan cared about was not her appearance, but what kind of use she was.

"How high is your cultivation level?"

"In reply to the Marquis, I condensed the innate true qi twenty years ago, but in the past ten years, I have made little progress in my cultivation!" Deng Yuehe said respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan calculated in his mind that twenty years ago, this Madam Deng, who was not even forty years old, had already cultivated to the half-step innate level. This showed how high her aptitude for cultivation was.

However, she is nearly sixty years old now, but her cultivation has not yet reached the innate realm. This only shows that the opportunity of innateness is really hard to come by.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it, then flipped his sleeves and took out a jade box.

"Sanhuangli can help condense the innate true qi and connect the meridians. Although I can't be sure whether it can help you break through to the innate realm, it should be of some help to you!"

"Since you are willing to join Darong, I will give you this three-yellow plum!"

Deng Yuehe was stunned at first, but then she was overjoyed and knelt down to say, "Thank you for your gift, Lord! From today on, I will follow your lead and serve you like a dog and a horse!"

What made her happy was not the Sanhuangli, but Yang Zhengshan's attitude.

Yang Zhengshan gave her the Sanhuangli, which meant that Yang Zhengshan would not break his promise, and that their Lu family could really join Darong and would not be abandoned.

This is also the reason why Yang Zhengshan gave her Sanhuangli. This is not a spiritual fruit, but a calming fruit.

"Get up!" Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Deng Yuehe stood up.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Luo Jinsong again and said, "You will go to Xingyue Island tomorrow, bring Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang with you. Well, let Yu Tonghai lead the Tenglong Vanguard to go with you."

The top leaders of Xingyue Sect have been wiped out, and only some small fry are left. There is no need for Yang Zhengshan to take action himself, as the Tenglong vanguard is enough.

"What should we do with the people on the island?" Luo Jinsong asked.

"Deal with it however you want, Madam Deng. You can discuss it with Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang when the time comes!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Yes, I will follow the Marquis' orders!" said Deng Yuehe.

Since they were asked to discuss it, they would naturally do it in a way that would protect themselves and avoid any future troubles.

Most of the residents on Xingyue Island are from the fifteen clans of Xingyue Sect. Except for Wang Mingjian's Wang family and Li Chengzhang's Li family, the remaining thirteen families probably cannot be allowed to stay.

Deng Yuehe is not a saint. She has already prepared herself to kill people on Xingyue Island.

……

On an uninhabited island northeast of Man Yue Island.

A small boat slowly approached the shore, and several warriors in black robes carried the pirates, who were breathing weakly, into the island.

The island is not big, just made up of some reefs, no more than a hundred feet long and only twenty or thirty feet wide, but there is a valley in the center of the island.

An old man covered in a black robe stood in front of many pirates, among whom there were actually a few soldiers of Dayong.

These pirates were all placed on the ground, each of them breathing weakly. Although they were not dead yet, they were not far from death.

"Lord Liejun, this is the last batch. Dayong cleaned up the battlefield too quickly. It is difficult for us to find the wounded now!" A black-robed warrior said softly.

The old man in black robe nodded slightly, "Let's move everyone here first!"

A moment later, another dozen seriously injured and dying people were moved to a low-lying area.

The old man in black robe stepped forward to check them one by one. He divided the injured into different places according to their level of cultivation.

Basically, those below the third layer of the day after tomorrow are put in one pile, those from the fourth to sixth layers of the day after tomorrow are put in another pile, and those above the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow are put together.

There are probably more than a hundred people in total, but only seven or eight of them are above the seventh level of the acquired realm.

Suddenly, the old man in black robe exclaimed, "Hey, this is it!"

He looked at a somewhat familiar face, and suddenly a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wake up, wake up, are you dead?"

The old man in black robe patted the other person's face.

With his eyes opened, Yue Hongyi tried hard to see the person in front of him clearly.

"Save me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

At this time, Yue Hongyi was already seriously injured and dying. An Yuxing's wine gourd hit his chest, shattering it, and his internal organs were also severely damaged.

However, if he can receive good medical treatment and recuperate for two or three years, he will be able to recover.

The vitality of innate warriors is still very tenacious.

"You are Yue Hongyi!" asked the old man in black robe.

"You know me, who are you?" Yue Hong looked more alert when he saw the face of the old man in black robe clearly.

The old man in black robe smiled and said, "Ling Bufu, I wonder if Master Yue still remembers me?"

"It's you!" Yue Hongyi thought of a weak figure.

Ling Bufu was the son of Ling Bo, a great pirate in the southeastern sea. Ling Bufu was weak and sickly when he was young. In order to cure his illness, Ling Bo collected all kinds of precious medicines and even went to Xingyue Island in person to ask for medicine.

At that time, Yue Hongyi was not yet the leader of the Xingyue Sect, nor was he an innate warrior. He was just a manager within the Xingyue Sect.

He had met Ling Bufu before, but that was more than fifty years ago.

The reason he could remember Ling Bufu was because of Ling Bo.

Ling Bo had no grudge against the Xingyue Sect. In fact, the Xingyue Sect had traded many precious medicines to Ling Bo in the past, which could be considered as helping Ling Bo and Ling Bufu.

Thinking of this, Yue Hongyi forced a smile, "Brother Ling, please help me. I will definitely reward you generously after I recover!"

"A generous reward? What can you give me?" Ling Bufu asked with a smile.

Yue Hongyi frowned, but still said weakly: "Anything is fine, as long as you want it, I will do my best to give it to you!"

Ling Bufu nodded, "Okay, I want your blood!"

"You!" Yue Hongyi looked at him with some suspicion.

Ling Bufu held down his hands, then approached him with a smile on his face, "We are acquainted, and today I will give you a quick death. Don't worry, you won't die too soon!"

As he said this, he bit down hard on Yue Hongyi's carotid artery. Blood gushed out and he swallowed it in big gulps.

Yue Hongyi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You practiced evil skills!"

At this time, Ling Bufu's eyes had turned blood red. He looked at the old Yue Hongyi with his blood red eyes, and there seemed to be a mocking smile in his eyes.

Yue Hongyi felt his blood was constantly draining away, and the vitality in his body was also constantly disappearing. He felt powerless, fearful, and panicked. He wanted to beg for mercy, to curse, to resist, but the weakness in his limbs made him sink into the fear of death.

Ling Bufu swallowed Yue Hongyi's blood in big gulps. What he swallowed was not only blood, but also Yue Hongyi's innate true qi.

Xu Ling’s blood refining technique refines blood, but also true energy.

The essence of it is to refine other people's qi and blood into your own qi and blood.

The qi and blood of a congenital warrior is like a tonic for Ling Bufu.

But in just a moment, Yue Hongyi's blood and energy were sucked dry by him, and his originally old body became like a mummy.

In comparison, Ling Bufu had a ruddy complexion and black hair, as if he was a dozen years younger.

"Hahaha~~"

Ling Bufu raised his head and laughed. Yue Hongyi was no less than a great opportunity for him.

After absorbing Yue Hongyi's qi and blood, his cultivation will be further improved.

"My little ones, the rest is for you to enjoy!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding black-robed warriors shouted in great joy, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"

The next moment, a group of warriors enjoyed the food in front of them.

These people are all followers of the Shen Yang Sect, and they all practice the Soul-Refining and Blood-Refining Technique.

It’s a pity that Yang Zhengshan didn’t know that there was a group of Shen Yang Sect followers hiding here, otherwise he would definitely come over and wipe out these garbage.

……

The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang Zhengshan arrived at Xingyue Island on Jinhaiwei's Dafu ship.

He stood on the dock, looking at the green hills on the east side of the island, then looked at the town outside the dock and the endless rice fields.

“This is a great place!”

Xingyue Island is really a good place, with mountains, water, fertile fields, and a small town.

Given the conditions on Xingyue Island, if 10,000 people live there, it can be completely self-sufficient.

The only thing that was not very satisfactory was that the island was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"My lord, has everything on the island been dealt with? Those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be buried have been buried!" Luo Jinsong stepped forward to report.

Deng Yuehe, Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang stood behind him respectfully.

There were quite a few people outside the dock. They were all members of the Lu, Wang and Li families, probably three to four thousand people.

Most of them are members of the Wang and Li families. The Lu family, which is Deng Yuehe's husband's family, has only a hundred or so confidants besides Deng Yuehe's children and grandchildren.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and said to Deng Yuehe and the other two, "I'll give you three days to prepare. After three days, you all have to move to Darong. Is that okay?"

"No!" Deng Yuehe and the other two said quickly.

Now that the Xingyue Sect has been destroyed, they are now fish under Yang Zhengshan's chopping board. They have already handed over the lives of their entire clan to Yang Zhengshan.

"Well, let's get ready!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The three retreated, and with them their clansmen, and soon only the soldiers of Tenglong's vanguard were left on the dock.

After they retreated, Yang Zhengshan took Yu Tonghai and Luo Jinsong and walked towards the town outside the dock.

Xingyue City cannot actually be considered a city because it has no city walls, but there is the headquarters of the Xingyue Sect in the city, and it is also the place with the largest population on Xingyue Island.

Its size is roughly the same as that of Dayong County, with a permanent population of about 10,000 people.

Most of the houses in the city are made of wood. There are many mansions and courtyards, as well as teahouses and restaurants.

Yang Zhengshan observed the small city as he walked.

"How much money and grain is there?" he asked casually.

"The statistics haven't been calculated yet. We have already controlled the warehouse of the Xingyue Sect's headquarters and the warehouses of many large mansions. However, there are still many villages on the island. The soldiers are now transporting money and food from various villages!" Yu Tonghai replied.

Yang Zhengshan stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "How many granaries are there in the city?"

"Three places!" Yu Tonghai said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and said, "Leave a granary behind when you leave!"

The Xingyue Sect has a lot of food stored. Since Xingyue Island has a population of nearly 50,000 and cannot be self-sufficient, they need to purchase food in large quantities from the outside world. In order to avoid being controlled by others for food, they store a large amount of food.

"Yes!" Yu Tonghai agreed without asking why.

"Are there any other good things on the island?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"There is a medicinal field at the foot of the mountain over there, which is about ten acres in size and contains many precious medicines," said Yu Tonghai.

There is a reason why Xingyue Sect chose this island as its headquarters. Although the land that can be used to grow precious medicines cannot be considered a blessed land, it is not comparable to ordinary farmland.

"Leave the medicinal field alone, don't let anyone touch it! Before you leave, leave three hundred soldiers behind to help watch over it for a while!"

"You will also stay here with your guards when the time comes!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at Luo Jinsong.

"Yes!" the two responded.

Xingyue Island is a good place. It is neither far nor close to Dayong. Dayong should not occupy it. The reason is very simple: there is no need.

Yang Zhengshan had some intention of taking this place for himself, and also wanted to use it as a retreat for the Yang family.

I’m afraid the Yang family won’t be able to stay in Darong for too long.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay in Darong, but Darong can’t accommodate the Yang family.

There are many masters in the Yang family at present. There are five half-step innate warriors, Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng, Wu Zhan, Wu Zheng, and Luo Jinsong. In addition to them, there are more than ten acquired ninth-level warriors.

If another ten years pass, Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng and others will probably become innate warriors.

By that time, the Yang family will have six or seven innate warriors. Will Emperor Yanping still be able to sleep well?

In the past, Yang Zhengshan felt that the Yang family was too weak and it was difficult for them to protect themselves. But later, Yang Zhengshan worried that the Yang family would become too strong and would be feared by the emperor.

And once the emperor becomes wary of the Yang family, Darong will certainly no longer be able to accommodate the Yang family.

So to be prepared, Yang Zhengshan planned to use this place as the Yang family's retreat.

"Let's go, let's go check out the wealth of Xingyuemen first!"

Then the three of them came to the warehouse of the Xingyue Sect's headquarters. There were many warehouses in the Xingyue Sect, including the medicine warehouse, weapons warehouse, treasure warehouse, silver warehouse, etc.

The armory was basically empty, the medicine storehouse was also relatively empty, and only the treasure storehouse and the silver storehouse were relatively well stocked.

The treasure house contains a wide variety of items, including various gems, minerals, precious medicines, and many strange and weird things, including a spiritual fruit.

As for the silver treasury, there are probably more than two million taels of silver. Xingyuemen is still relatively short of money, otherwise they would not have supported Qixingtang to make money in Darong.
