Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 836 Using force to suppress others
A moment later, Situ Wujiu arrived at the main hall.

Li Xingchen was the disciple who had been following Yueming before, and one of the few people in the Illusion Moon Sect who knew Yang Zhengshan's identity.

At this moment, Li Xingchen was dressed in a moon-white robe. His young and handsome face showed the composure of a disciple of a major sect. He sipped his tea, looking as if he were at home, not at the Situ family's residence.

In front of Yueming, he was a respectful disciple, but outside, he was a high-ranking disciple of the Illusion Moon Sect.

"Greetings, Patriarch Situ!"

Upon seeing Situ Wujiu enter the main hall, Li Xingchen respectfully stood up and bowed.

"Haha, I am Situ Wujiu, greetings to the envoy!" Situ Wujiu warmly returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Compared to the Twelve Great Families, the Three Great Sects are all superior sects, and the disciples of the Three Great Sects are all considered superior envoys.

"Please have a seat, Your Excellency!" Situ Wujiu gestured for Li Xingchen to sit down, then asked, "I wonder if Elder Yueming has any instructions for sending Your Excellency here?"

Li Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, there are two small matters that require the help of Patriarch Situ!"

"Oh, Your Excellency, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost!" Situ Wujiu said.

Li Xingchen smiled and said, "The first thing is that Master hopes the Situ family can hand over Qianshan Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Situ Wujiu, who had been quite composed, immediately changed his expression and looked at Li Xingchen with disbelief.

"Why?"

Qianshan Pavilion is the most important property of the Situ family in Anhu City. It not only concerns the income of the Situ family, but also serves as an extension of the Situ family's influence in Anhu City.

If the Situ family loses Qianshan Pavilion, it will not necessarily withdraw from Anhu City, but it will affect the Situ family's prestige in Anhu City.

This matter was no small thing for the Situ family, because the Situ family's sphere of influence in the Lingxiu Sea was mainly concentrated in the northeast of the Lingxiu Sea, and Anhu City happened to be located in the northeast of the Lingxiu Sea.

Once the Situ family loses its prestige and status in Anhu City, the impact on the Situ family will be enormous.

"This is Elder Yueming's instruction, and I don't know why!" Li Xingchen didn't explain and directly blamed it on Yueming.

As for why Yueming did this, one reason was to do Yang Zhengshan a favor and suppress the Situ family at the same time. The other reason was to gain some benefits for the Huanyue Sect. Recently, the Huanyue Sect had obtained a lot of goods from the Lingyuan Land and had already sold them in many cities and markets.

Anhu City is also a sizable market, and the Illusion Moon Sect wants to gain a larger market share there.

Yueming had already received instructions from Yueqing. He was originally worried about which family to fleece, but now that the Situ family had run into trouble, he might as well take the opportunity to fleece the Thousand Mountains Pavilion from the Situ family.

Situ Wujiu's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything presumptuous to Li Xingchen. He simply said, "Your Excellency, could we discuss this matter further?"

"Didn't you say before that you were willing to go all out as long as you could do it? What? It's just a small Thousand Mountain Pavilion, and Patriarch Situ can't bear to part with it?" Li Xingchen said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

Situ Wujiu was somewhat embarrassed. "Well, never mind, my Situ family is willing to offer Qianshan Pavilion to Huanyue Sect!"

He still chose to compromise.

Although Qianshan Pavilion is important, losing it would not shake the foundation of the Situ family. However, if they offend Huanyue Sect because of it, the Situ family's future would be difficult.

Li Xingchen nodded slightly, but did not say anything more about the matter.

He was right about one thing: a small Thousand Mountain Pavilion is nothing to the Illusion Moon Sect.

If Yueming hadn't wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Situ family, he wouldn't have cared about such a trivial matter at all.

"There's one more small matter that I need the Situ family head's help with!" Li Xingchen added.

Situ Wujiu really wanted to say that he didn't want to help, but in the end he didn't dare, and his attitude became even more humble, for fear that Li Xingchen would make any more excessive demands.

"Please give your orders, Your Excellency!"

Li Xingchen took a sip of tea and said, "This matter is simple. Several martial artists from the Yang family of Lingxi have served in the Anhu City Defense Army for ten years and are about to return to Lingxi Mountain."

"They have made great contributions in Anhu City, and we should ensure their safety, at the very least, we should safely send them back to Lingxi Mountain!"

"So the task of escorting them can be entrusted to your Situ family. You don't need to send too many people, ten or eight will be enough!"

"By the way, I heard that your young master Situ Xicheng has a good cultivation level, so let him personally escort you!"

Upon hearing these words, Situ Wujiu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why Li Xingchen had come to his door today.

The Yang family of Lingxi!

The Yang family of Lingxi actually has a connection with the Illusion Moon Sect?
This!
He had just ordered Situ Xicheng to gather men to intercept and kill the Yang family of Lingxi, but now the Huanyue Sect is ordering his Situ family to escort the Yang family of Lingxi back.

He didn't understand how the Lingxi Yang family could be associated with the Huan Yue Sect. He had previously sent people to investigate the Lingxi Yang family, and the reply he received was that the Lingxi Yang family was just a small family.

"What is the relationship between the Yang family of Lingxi and Elder Yueming?" He wanted to find out.

"Hehe, I don't know either!" Li Xingchen laughed.

"Uh, well..." Situ Wujiu's mind was racing, and he didn't know what to say.

Now that the Illusion Moon Sect has intervened in this matter, the Situ family certainly cannot target the Lingxi Yang family anymore.

However, he was hesitant to give up so easily. It wasn't that he still wanted to destroy the Lingxi Yang family, but rather that he wanted to know what the relationship was between the Lingxi Yang family and the Huanyue Sect.

We can't just give up the entire Qianshan Pavilion like this without any real understanding.

"This matter will be entrusted to Patriarch Situ. Please send someone to Anhu City as soon as possible."

Li Xingchen was too lazy to waste any more words with him, so she got up and took her leave after saying that.

Situ Wujiu saw him off at the gate of the mansion, his face dark and uncertain as he watched his departing figure.

What a humiliation!
This is blatant humiliation.

The Yang family of Lingxi not only caused the Situ family to lose Qianshan Pavilion, but also forced the Situ family to admit their mistakes and send people to escort them.

He dared not hold a grudge against the Illusion Moon Sect, so he could only direct all his anger at the Yang family of Lingxi.

Unfortunately, he also knew that he couldn't fight city hall. Since the Illusion Moon Sect had already intervened, he couldn't target the Lingxi Yang family anytime soon.

……

"What? Dad, are you out of your mind?"

In the study, Situ Xicheng stared at Situ Wujiu in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Shut up, you're the one who's out of your mind!"

Situ Wujiu glared and shouted angrily.

"You will personally lead men to Anhu City to escort the Yang family of Lingxi back. Remember, do not show any hostility, and do not offend them again. If possible, try to resolve any grudges with them and repair relations!" Situ Xicheng was full of confusion. "Why? Are we afraid of the Yang family of Lingxi?"

Situ Wujiu lowered his eyes slightly, "We are not afraid of the Lingxi Yang family, but we have to take into account the attitude of the Huanyue Sect. Before we figure out the relationship between the Lingxi Yang family and the Huanyue Sect, we absolutely cannot continue to antagonize the Lingxi Yang family!"

He wasn't one to swallow his anger, but as the head of the family, he was capable of being both flexible and assertive.

Now that this feud has been created, he will surely keep it in mind. He cannot disobey the orders of the Illusion Moon Sect now, but what about later?
"I won't~~" Situ Xicheng wanted to refuse, but when he saw Situ Wujiu staring at him, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

In the end, he could only sheepishly lead his men to Anhu City to escort Yang Minghao, Ding Qiu, and the others back to Lingxi Mountain.

Actually, there's nothing worth escorting them for; apart from the Situ family, no one else would harm them.

Of course, Yang Minghao and Ding Qiu were too lazy to pay attention to the Situ family. After returning, Ding Qiu was going into seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier. He had no time to mess around with Situ Xicheng. Yang Minghao was also thinking about his cultivation plan after returning. Although he was still some distance away from breaking through, he was already preparing for it.

……

On the third day after An Yuxing's breakthrough in the Land of Spiritual Origin, Liang Shengze also finally broke through.

Seeing Liang Shengze walk out of the house, Yang Zhengshan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, Patriarch!" Liang Shengze bowed deeply to Yang Zhengshan with a sense of relief.

Yang Zhengshan quickly helped him up, "We don't need these formalities between us. How are you feeling?"

"The situation is not bad. Although there are some hidden injuries, they will recover after a period of rest!" Liang Shengze said with a smile.

This time, he was incredibly lucky. Unfortunately, he failed to break through, but fortunately, Yang Zhengshan intervened in time, not only saving his life but also allowing him to successfully break through.

If Yang Zhengshan hadn't woken him up in time and given him a Foundation Establishment Pill, his fate would have been the same as Zhou Tianci's—death and annihilation.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright, hahaha, and I have another good news for you, Old Man An has also broken through." Yang Zhengshan laughed loudly.

The Spirit Source Land suddenly gained two more Martial Gods, and Yang Zhengshan had seen Qu Changkong. If nothing unexpected happens, Qu Changkong should also complete his breakthrough soon.

By then, there will be four Martial Gods in the Land of Spiritual Origin.

In the entire Lingxiu Sea, besides the three major sects, which other force can produce four Martial Gods?
Of course, compared to those veteran martial arts masters, Yu Qingyi, An Yuxing, and others are much weaker.

However, their breakthroughs represent different things. This means that the Land of Spiritual Origin has entered a new era, the era of the God of War.

It is foreseeable that more and more martial gods will emerge in the Spirit Source Land in the future, one after another, in an endless stream.

"Hahaha, this matter deserves a big toast!" Liang Shengze laughed heartily.

Having achieved this breakthrough, a huge weight has been lifted from my heart, and the fact that this incident was narrowly avoided is something to celebrate.

Yang Zhengshan also felt that they should celebrate, so he took Liang Shengze to find An Yuxing.

Upon hearing that he could drink alcohol, An Yuxing disregarded the need to stabilize his cultivation and immediately began drinking with Yang Zhengshan and Liang Shengze.

The three of them drank and enjoyed themselves for most of the day before Yang Zhengshan urged them to go and cultivate.

They have just broken through to the next level, and now is the time to consolidate their cultivation, especially Liang Shengze, who still has many hidden injuries that need to be healed as soon as possible.

Yang Zhengshan prepared some nourishing pills for him and sent him back to his cave.

When Yang Zhengshan returned to Lingquanshanping, Yang Mingzhi and Ding Qiu had just returned.

Looking at Ding Qiu, Yang Zhengshan felt very gratified.

"Not bad, judging from your appearance, your cultivation has reached a point where it can't be improved any further." Yang Zhengshan patted Ding Qiu on the shoulder.

Yang Zhengshan was very pleased that Ding Qiu had grown to where he is today.

Unlike An Yuxing and the others, Ding Qiu is only a little over a hundred years old and doesn't need to worry about his lifespan at all.

Moreover, Ding Qiu's cultivation was very steady, taking one step at a time, and he continued to hone his skills without any haste, even though he could have broken through long ago. Until today, he has reached a point where he can no longer make any progress.

It can be said that Ding Qiu's breakthrough is the most guaranteed.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely make a breakthrough.

"This is all thanks to Master's kindness!" Ding Qiu said with a smile.

"Haha, alright, stop flattering me. Now that you're back, go spend some time with your family. The resources you need for your breakthrough have already been prepared at the clan hall. Just go and collect them!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

“Yes!” Ding Qiu replied.

"Father, when do you think I can break through?" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said, "Your older brother will be ready in three to five more years. You should wait another seven or eight years!"

"Another seven or eight years?" Yang Mingzhi asked, somewhat disappointed.

Yang Zhengshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't rush. Breaking through from the Innate Realm to the Golden Body Realm is different from previous breakthroughs. There are great dangers involved, so you must proceed steadily and surely!"

"In my opinion, it's best to break through to the next level after the age of 100; doing it too early is not advisable!"

The Land of Spiritual Origin does not require geniuses; one only needs to cultivate steadily step by step.

With the presence of the spiritual spring water, everyone in the Spiritual Source Land will have a very solid foundation, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they can enter the Innate Realm at the age of thirty-six.

Then, from the Qi Sea stage to the Earthly Fiend stage, then from the Earthly Fiend stage to the Heavenly Gang stage, and finally reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Gang stage.

Reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Gang stage before the age of one hundred is not a difficult task.

Breaking through the barrier after reaching 100 years old is also the best option.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan intended to schedule everyone's breakthrough at the age of one hundred, so that they could make full preparations before attempting the breakthrough.

Of course, to give everyone in the Spirit Source Land a chance to break through, a large number of second-tier spiritual objects are needed, preferably mid-grade or higher.

With the current resources of the Spirit Source Land, it is definitely not enough to support more than 100,000 people to break through; it can probably only support the breakthrough needs of 300 to 500 people.

The Land of Spiritual Source cannot guarantee that everyone will have the opportunity to break through, nor will it provide everyone with the spiritual items and resources needed for a breakthrough for free.

Currently, the spiritual items and resources needed for everyone's breakthrough are provided uniformly by the clan hall, because the Spirit Source Land needs more martial god powerhouses.

However, once the number of martial gods in the Spirit Source Land reaches dozens or even hundreds, the clan hall will certainly no longer be able to provide breakthrough spiritual items and resources for free.

Everything should be based on merit and contribution.

The land of spiritual origin has been developing continuously, and the clan hall has also been constantly formulating various new rules and regulations.
