Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 901 Please come with us to the Immortal Law Hall!
Yunxiao stood with his sword sheathed, his robes fluttering even without wind, as if the sword strike that had just been powerful enough to shatter mountains and cleave rivers was merely a casual gesture.

Yang Zhengshan was completely taken aback and utterly shocked.

Xuanzhen and the others stared at the clouds in terror.

As for Master Zhou and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had already turned into dust and scattered between heaven and earth.

"What terrifying sword energy! Are all Foundation Establishment cultivators this terrifying?"

Beside the cold spring, Ma Qiuyan looked at the formation that had been breached, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear.

Yunxiao's final sword strike actually broke through the Taiyin Cold Spring Formation. Although it didn't break the formation, it only temporarily created a gap in it, but it was still incredibly terrifying.

If Yunxiao were an enemy, he would have already led his people out of the formation by now.

"It's not that all Foundation Establishment cultivators are this terrifying, but rather that Senior Yunxiao's swordsmanship is simply too terrifying!" Yang Jizhen looked at Yunxiao's figure with a face full of reverence.

He cultivates the Yi Wood Thunder Control Scripture and the Yi Wood Azure Thunder Sword Technique. Although the Yi Wood Azure Thunder Sword Technique is not a traditional sword technique, it contains some profound sword principles, so he also cultivates swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, his talent in swordsmanship was only so-so. He could use various lightning techniques very skillfully, but when it came to swordsmanship, he could barely be considered a beginner.

Xuanzhen came to Yunxiao and looked at the sword in Yunxiao's hand.

"Your sword seems extraordinary!"

Yunxiao brought two fingers together and ran them across the sword. "This is the Mountain-Slaying Sword, a top-grade magic weapon."

"From an ancient remnant array?" Yang Zhengshan asked curiously.

"Yes, this sword was originally a spiritual weapon, but it was severely damaged in the past. A hundred years ago, I had it repaired, but it was not restored to the level of a spiritual weapon. It can only be considered a top-grade magic weapon!"

Yunxiao didn't hide anything and explained the origin of the Broken Mountain Sword, "It's a pity that this sword cannot be my natal magic weapon!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, but didn't pay any attention to the sword.

He possessed the Taiyin Bagua Furnace, a true spiritual artifact, so naturally he wouldn't care about a top-grade magic weapon flying sword that had degenerated from a spiritual artifact.

"Xuanzhen, Bai Xiaoyun, you two go and clean up the battlefield first!"

The battle is over; now it's time to reap the rewards.

There were only nine enemies in total, and Yunxiao's sword power was too terrifying. It not only crushed people into dust, but also destroyed their storage bags and damaged their magical artifacts.

Under Yunxiao's sword, only Xu Mingzhu's storage bag was preserved.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, but it took Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun more than an hour to put away the formation.

Yang Zhengshan returned the water of transformation to the Spirit Spring Lake, and waited for them to clean up the mess before returning to Baiyun Immortal City with everyone.

Xuanzhen, Yang Jizhen, and the others rarely come to Baiyun Immortal City, so naturally they won't go back so soon. They will stay in Baiyun Immortal City for a while.

……

Just as the battle ended and Yang Zhengshan and his men were cleaning up the mess,

Inside the Cloud Wilderness Alliance, in an ancient and quiet room, an old man with silver hair and deep wrinkles was meditating and cultivating.

Outside the quiet room, light footsteps could be heard, followed by a voice.

"Ancestor!"

"What is it?" the old man asked, his eyes slightly closed and his wrinkled lips trembling slightly.

"Xu Mingzhu's spirit tablet is broken!" the person outside the door replied.

Soul tablets are magical artifacts that can display the state of a cultivator's soul. Many powerful forces will refine soul tablets for their high-ranking members so that they can know the life status of the high-ranking members in a timely manner.

For example, Wanbaohang's identity token also has a similar function to a soul token, but Wanbaohang's identity token targets changes in aura, not the soul.

The old man's eyes, however, were like a cold pool reflecting the moon, their turbidity concealing a sharp glint. "The soul tablet is broken!"

He slowly stood up and walked out of the quiet room. Outside the door stood a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance.

"That's right, it shattered just now!"

"He left the city?"

"I just asked around. A little over an hour ago, Xu Mingzhu hurriedly led a group of his subordinates out of the city. Oh, and he also invited Master Zhou from the Thousand Array Alliance."

"According to the people of the Blazing Flame Hall, Xu Mingzhu has been keeping an eye on a man named Yang Zhengshan recently, and it seems that this man has a considerable grudge against him!"

The middle-aged man said.

The old man seemed to be deep in thought. "Yang Zhengshan! Xu Mingzhu also sent someone to see me before, seemingly wanting me to do him a favor at the Immortal Law Hall!"

"It seems he couldn't find a convenient place with me, so he went out of the city to take action himself!"

"He even lost his own life!"

"Go and find out who this Yang Zhengshan is!"

He was Kuang Fu, one of the five elders of the Yunye Alliance. Xu Mingzhu had previously wanted to ask him for help to use the rules of Baiyun Immortal City to kill Yang Zhengshan.

However, Kuang Fu was not someone Xu Mingzhu could order around at will. In fact, in Kuang Fu's eyes, Xu Mingzhu was nothing more than a knife in his hand.

Since it's a knife, it's best not to cause trouble and just obediently wait for its master to use it.

Kuang Fu never expected that Xu Mingzhu would die like this, a death that seemed utterly meaningless.

……

Chunqiufang.

Yang Zhengshan rented three more cave dwellings in Chunqiufang as temporary residences for Xuanzhen and the others.

After everything was arranged, no one rushed out to wander around. Instead, they stayed in the cave and asked Yunxiao for advice.

Yunxiao's performance just now was simply too amazing. Even Yang Zhengshan was almost stunned, let alone the others.

Faced with such a senior master of swordsmanship, everyone naturally wanted to learn from him.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan had consulted Yunxiao before, but since he did not practice swordsmanship, Yunxiao could not offer him much guidance.

However, it was still quite easy for Yunxiao to give guidance to Yang Jizhen, Bai Xiaoyun, and others.

To celebrate the victory, Yang Zhengshan specially went to a restaurant to prepare a table of fine food and wine.

Everyone asked each other questions and toasted each other, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After this battle, the relationship between Yang Zhengshan and Yunxiao undoubtedly took another step forward.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Yunxiao, seeing that Yang Zhengshan's disciples had stopped asking him questions, said to Yang Zhengshan, "I didn't expect you to have so many good disciples!"

Actually, he was quite surprised today, surprised that Yang Zhengshan had so many immortal cultivators under his command.

This also gave him a clearer understanding of the Yang family's strength once again.

Even if he didn't make a move today, Xu Mingzhu and the others would most likely still be doomed.

Although his swordsmanship was powerful, he did not forget that Yang Zhengshan still possessed the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace, a spiritual artifact.

Back then, when Yang Zhengshan stood with his feet on the Bagua Furnace in front of Qingxuan Mountain, he could only give him some courtesy.

Perhaps his swordsmanship is very skilled, but compared to the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace which possesses the true fire of the sun, his swordsmanship is still a level below.

Yang Zhengshan picked up his drink, tilted his head back, and chugged it down. "Hehe, you must have quite a few disciples, senior!"

Yunxiao shook his head slightly, "There are quite a few, but apart from Yunxi, none of them are up to par!"

Yunxi was not his disciple, but she was more like one to him.

Yunxi was his junior sister. His master had taken Yunxi as his disciple less than twenty years ago when he died unexpectedly. So, Yunxi was actually someone he had personally taught. "I also have two other junior disciples. When I have time, I would appreciate it if you could give them some guidance!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Yunxiao is a sword cultivator, and among his disciples, the only ones who can truly be considered sword cultivators are the sisters Li Jianning and Li Jianan.

"As long as I have the Demon Essence Pill, I'll do anything you ask!" Yunxiao said, winking.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhengshan felt a headache coming on.

He seems to owe a lot of demon essence pills.

Half of the ten Demon Essence Pills ordered by Cangyu Mountain have not yet been delivered.

Although he had already given Yunxiao the two Demon Essence Pills he had promised, he now owed him three more for these three sword strikes.

He also needs to produce a few Demon Essence Pills from Wanbaohang, otherwise Zhongli Xiayi will doubt that what he said is true.

He can only refine four Demon Essence Pills a year, which means that all the Demon Essence Pills he refines in the next four or five years will already be taken.

However, Yunxiao's guidance is also very valuable, especially since he, as the master, is not good at swordsmanship. Li Jianning and Li Jianan need a swordsmanship master to teach them.

“Alright, you’ll guide these two disciples for three years, so I’ll consider it an extra demon essence pill I owe you!” Yang Zhengshan said.

"How about two every ten years!" Yunxiao said greedily.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him speechlessly, thinking that this old guy had really latched onto him.

"Two it is!"

Lice don't itch when you have a lot of lice, and debts don't worry you when you have a lot of

Since I already owe four coins, one more won't make a difference.

"Haha, that's great! Don't worry, I will teach you wholeheartedly and will not hold back anything!"

Yunxiao laughed loudly.

……

In the following days, Xuanzhen, Yang Jizhen and others wandered around the immortal city, which can be considered as them broadening their horizons in Baiyun Immortal City.

However, the Immortal City is just so-so; it's just that there are more immortal cultivators, more Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more prosperous industries.

It's fine for broadening your horizons, but if you're going to live there permanently, it's actually not as comfortable as the Spirit Source Land.

A few days later, they returned home.

Bai Xiaoyun had to return to Qingli Immortal City to oversee things, Ma Qiuyan needed to prepare for Foundation Establishment, and the others also had to go back to cultivate, so they couldn't stay in Baiyun Immortal City for too long.

That day, after seeing them off out of the city, Yang Zhengshan returned to his cave in Chunqiu Ward.

He planned to tell Yunxiao that he would go to Wanbaohang first to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and then refine two batches of Demon Essence Pills.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he found that there were more than a dozen cultivators dressed in white cloud-patterned robes standing in front of the cave.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes slightly. He wore a cloud-patterned robe with golden floating patterns. He was a cultivator from the Immortal Law Hall!

The Celestial Law Hall is responsible for maintaining order and administering punishments in the Celestial City, and it is a relatively powerful institution in White Cloud Celestial City.

"Why has the Celestial Law Palace come knocking on our door?"

"Has the ambush and assassination of Xu Mingzhu been exposed?"

Yang Zhengshan was a little confused. He hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward.

No matter why the Immortal Law Palace came, he could not avoid it, unless he did not want to come to White Cloud Immortal City again!

"Halt! This is an official business of the Immortal Law Hall. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"

Yang Zhengshan had only taken a few steps forward when a Foundation Establishment cultivator coldly rebuked him, while the other Qi Refining cultivators also stared at him with cold eyes.

At this moment, Yang Zhengshan did not conceal his cultivation level. He was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while there were only early-Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage cultivators in front of him. However, these people completely ignored his cultivation level and scolded him without giving him any face.

Cultivation is paramount, strength is supreme—this is the ironclad rule of the immortal cultivation world. However, this ironclad rule was broken in front of the Immortal Law Hall.

"This is my cave dwelling!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression turned serious. "Are you Yang Zhengshan?"

"That's right!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

"You've come at the perfect time! Please come with us to the Immortal Law Hall!"

Yang Zhengshan chuckled. "Who are you?"

"Kuang Hengxian, Punishment Envoy of the Immortal Law Hall! The White Cloud Immortal Law decrees that anyone who dares to defy the Immortal Law Hall shall be immediately executed on the spot by the Punishment Envoy using patrol puppets! Please!" Kuang Hengxian stared at Yang Zhengshan with icy eyes.

The Immortal Law Hall has patrol officers and punishment officers. The patrol officers are responsible for patrolling the city to maintain order, while the punishment officers are responsible for arresting and judging cultivators who violate the Immortal Law of White Cloud.

The executioners have arrived; they've mistaken Yang Zhengshan for a criminal!
Yang Zhengshan did not expect that killing Xu Mingzhu would alarm the Immortal Law Hall. Logically speaking, the Immortal Law Hall should only be concerned with matters within the city and not with the struggles outside the city. Otherwise, he would not have so blatantly ambushed and killed Xu Mingzhu.

Is someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes? The Cloud Wilderness Alliance?

He immediately realized that someone was using the Immortal Law Palace to help Xu Mingzhu take revenge.

"You must tell me why you invited me to the Immortal Law Palace!" he asked.

"You'll know when you get there! Enough with the nonsense, or don't blame us for being impolite!" Kuang Heng said coldly.

Yang Zhengshan glanced at the cave dwelling. Yunxiao had left. There was no one in the cave dwelling at the moment, but the protective formation of the cave dwelling had been activated. Obviously, these people had forced their way into his cave dwelling.

"Let's go!"

He neither resisted nor refused; in fact, he also wanted to see the Immortal Law Hall of White Cloud Immortal City.

The Immortal Law Hall of Baiyun Immortal City is also a renowned institution, wielding considerable power both within and outside the city.

Because the Immortal Law Palace controls thousands of patrol puppets in White Cloud Immortal City.

Those are all second-tier puppets; it's said that the Immortal Law Hall also has third-tier puppets.

These puppets alone are enough to crush many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yang Zhengshan's straightforwardness surprised Kuang Hengxian slightly, while Yang Zhengshan's fearless demeanor made Kuang Hengxian frown.

However, Foundation Establishment cultivators have their own dignity. He may not care about Yang Zhengshan's cultivation level, but he cannot ignore the dignity of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At least in public, they still have to consider the reputation of the Immortal Law Palace.

And so, Yang Zhengshan was led out of Chunqiu Fang by them.

After leaving Chunqiufang, Yang Zhengshan was put into a carriage. Although it was called a carriage, it was actually pulled by a deer-like animal.

As Yang Zhengshan was getting into the car, he saw Yunxiao return.

Yunxiao frowned as he looked this way, and Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly at him, signaling him to calm down.

Yunxiao thought for a moment, then his brows relaxed.

However, Kuang Heng noticed Yang Zhengshan's actions first.

He followed Yang Zhengshan's gaze and saw that there were many people watching. Yunxiao was inconspicuous in the crowd, so he did not notice her.

"You have an accomplice?"
