Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 955 Zhao Tianhai's Death

The Great An Dynasty, at the foot of Tianqing Mountain.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi walked on the streets of the small town, gazing at the verdant Tianqing Mountain to the north.

A century has passed, and Tianqing Mountain has undergone tremendous changes. The sect that was once like a mountain village has now become a major sect with magnificent pavilions and palaces from the mountainside to the summit, looking very impressive.

Unfortunately, Yu Qingyi was somewhat disappointed by all this; all she missed was the peaceful little sect she once knew.

"Aren't we going up to take a look?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yu Qingyi shook her head slightly, "No, all my senior uncles have passed away, and I guess no one recognizes me now!"

"Hehe, there are still a few people who recognize you!" Yang Zhengshan laughed.

The last time they visited the Tianqing Sword Sect was probably sixty or seventy years ago. At that time, Hua Jinqiu introduced several outstanding disciples of the Tianqing Sword Sect to Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

He also remembered that Hua Jinqiu had adopted a child named Hua Mingzhu.

Unfortunately, they only met Hua Mingzhu once, and even if they met again, there was nothing to reminisce about.

"Let's go, let's explore other places!"

Yu Qingyi merely reminisced, without any particularly complex emotions.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, and then strolled around the town like a martial arts master.

They came to Da'an not just to reminisce about the past, but also to experience the warmth and life of the world.

Although Lingyuan now has hundreds of thousands of people, it lacks the lively atmosphere of the secular world.

The two stayed in the town for three days, and just as they were about to leave, Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt someone calling him.

"what happened?"

The two rode their horses along a country road. When Yu Qingyi saw Yang Zhengshan stop, she asked him a question.

"Someone is looking for me, I'll go check it out!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

"it is good!"

Yu Qingyi led his horse over and said.

Yang Zhengshan flashed back to the Spirit Source Land.

In Da'an, he couldn't detect the summons from the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty because it was too far away, but he could detect the summons from the Land of Spiritual Origin.

The so-called summoning is simply crushing the Soul Raven.

The one who summoned him was none other than Xuanzhen.

Yang Zhengshan appeared in the lakeside pavilion of Wuzhen Dao Palace, where Xuanzhen had already prepared tea.

"What is it?" he asked, sitting opposite Xuanzhen.

Xuanzhen asked, "Has something happened in White Cloud Immortal City?"

"White Cloud Immortal City?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

“Yes, Yunxiao told me that Zhao Tianhai is dead! You know Zhao Tianhai, right?” Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned. He naturally recognized Zhao Tianhai. This guy had become a celebrity in Wanbaohang in recent years, but it was all infamy.

Moreover, Zhao Tianhai is a newly promoted seventh-rank guest elder of Wanbaohang, and also a guest elder who can refine top-grade demon essence pills!

"How did he die!" Yang Zhengshan's expression turned serious.

“Yun Ge killed him!” Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhengshan wondered if he had misheard. "Who did you say?"

“Master Yun Ge!” Xuanzhen said.

Yang Zhengshan narrowed his eyes. "You're not joking?"

"Is this something to joke about?" Xuanzhen asked.

Yang Zhengshan felt a little dazed.

Did Yun Ge kill Zhao Tianhai?

Where is this?
Yun Ge is a disciple of True Lord Baiyun, in charge of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, and resides in Qingli Immortal City. He rarely returns to Baiyun Immortal City.

Zhao Tianhai was a guest elder of Wanbaohang, and a seventh-rank guest elder who was capable of refining top-grade demon essence pills.

He simply couldn't find a reason for Yun Ge to kill Zhao Tianhai.

Logically speaking, Yun Ge should have fawned over Zhao Tianhai. Given Yun Ge's personality, he would have been able to endure some humiliation for the sake of the top-grade demon essence pill.

These two should not have had any interaction before. If they had, it was Yun Ge who begged Zhao Tianhai.

"Are you sure Yun Ge killed Zhao Tianhai?" Yang Zhengshan still found it hard to believe.

“Yes, that’s exactly what Yunxiao said!” Xuanzhen confirmed again.

Yang Zhengshan stood up, stroked his beard, and paced back and forth in the hall.

"That's not right. Why would Yun Ge want to kill Zhao Tianhai? Do they have a blood feud?"

"If there were truly a blood feud, Yun Ge would have taken action against Zhao Tianhai long ago, instead of waiting until now!"

"Alright, wait for me a moment, we'll go find Yunxiao and get to the bottom of this!"

What can you possibly guess by yourself? You might as well ask Yunxiao, or if all else fails, go to Wanbaohang to see what's going on.

Of course, before that, he had to bring Yu Qingyi back first; he couldn't leave his wife behind.

He returned to Yu Qingyi's side, explained the situation to her, and then took Yu Qingyi back to the Spirit Source Land before leading Xuanzhen to find Yunxiao.

"What exactly happened?" Yang Zhengshan asked Yunxiao directly upon seeing him.

Yunxiao said irritably, "Didn't you say you were going to Wanbaohang? Did something happen at Wanbaohang that you don't know about?"

Yang Zhengshan rubbed his nose. Well, he had told Yunxiao and the others that he would stay at Wanbaohang for a few years, but in reality, he spent most of his time in Lingyuan Land. Wanbaohang was just a cover.

"Get to the point! Why all the nonsense?"

Yang Zhengshan could only give a vague answer.

Yunxiao was too lazy to argue with Yang Zhengshan, after all, this wasn't the first time Yang Zhengshan had done something like this.

Previously, Yang Zhengshan said he would be stationed at the Illusion Moon Sect, but he would appear in Yangjia Town one moment and then go to Baiyun Immortal City the next. He claimed to be in seclusion at his villa on Wangyue Mountain, but in reality, he was not there at all.

"This matter is a bit complicated. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly!"

Yunxiao gestured for the two to sit down and spoke slowly and deliberately.

A few days ago, he went to Baiyun Immortal City, intending to buy some spiritual materials and also to meet Yang Zhengshan.

Before he even arrived at Baiyun Immortal City, he discovered something was amiss. There were many immortal cultivation families around Baiyun Immortal City, and these families had countless connections with Baiyun Immortal City.

The disturbance in Baiyun Immortal City will also affect them.

At first, he was puzzled as to why these immortal cultivation families were so nervous, but when he arrived at Baiyun Immortal City, he learned about the recent events that had occurred there.

First, many teams that went out were ambushed by monsters. Then, the Baiyun Daoist sect investigated spies in the city, causing everyone to be in a state of panic.

Finally, ten days ago, Zhao Tianhai, a seventh-rank guest of Wanbaohang, died at the hands of Yun Ge.

"Wait, how was Zhao Tianhai killed by Yun Ge? Although Yun Ge is a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhao Tianhai also has late Foundation Establishment cultivation. If the two of them were to fight, it would be impossible to determine a winner in a short time!" Yang Zhengshan interrupted Yun Xiao's narration and asked.

Yunxiao shook his head slightly, "I don't know the specifics. I only heard that the two seemed to have some kind of conflict, and then Yun Ge, in a fit of rage, attacked, and Zhao Tianhai died!" Yang Zhengshan's lips twitched slightly, "That death was too sudden!"

Yun Ge instantly killed Zhao Tianhai?

It's not impossible; if Zhao Tianhai is caught off guard, Yun Ge could still deliver a fatal blow.

But this still doesn't explain why Yun Ge wanted to kill Zhao Tianhai.

However, that doesn't seem to be the key point now; the key point is how Wanbaohang views this matter.

What was Wanbaohang's reaction?

Yunxiao said, "I don't know either."

"..."

Yang Zhengshan was speechless.

Well, I'll have to go check out Wanbaohang.

"I'd better go and ask him myself!"

"After you've found out the details, don't forget to come back and let me know!" Yunxiao said.

"Ok, I know!"

Having said that, Yang Zhengshan didn't linger any longer and got up to leave with Xuanzhen.

……

Upon arriving at Wanbaohang, Yang Zhengshan immediately sensed the extremely heavy atmosphere within the establishment.

The once bustling Wanbaohang was now eerily quiet, with hardly any pedestrians in sight. Even when one or two people did pass by, they were all in a hurry.

Yang Zhengshan went directly to Zhong Lixiayi.

Zhong Lixia looked very tired; even her exquisite makeup couldn't hide her exhaustion.

"What exactly happened?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Zhong Lixia's voice was full of helplessness, "I don't know!"

"Even you don't know?" Yang Zhengshan said.

Zhongli Xiayi sighed softly, "Zhao Tianhai did indeed die at the hands of Yun Ge. It seems to be a misunderstanding. Zhao Tianhai offended Yun Ge, and Yun Ge, unaware of his identity, attacked him in a fit of rage, and then Zhao Tianhai died!"

"He acted out of rage. Master Yunge has always been kind to others and rarely gets into conflicts with anyone!"

Yang Zhengshan raised his doubts. Master Yunge was in charge of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce, so he had the amiable nature of a businessman, believed that harmony brings wealth, and was always very kind to people.

Even when he was in charge of Qingli Immortal City, he handled affairs in a very gentle manner, which is why he was highly respected in Qingli Immortal City.

What exactly did Zhao Tianhai do to provoke Master Yunge into taking action?

“None of that matters. What matters is that Zhao Tianhai is dead!” Zhong Lixia looked up at Yang Zhengshan. “Zhao Tianhai was a seventh-rank guest elder!”

Yang Zhengshan's expression shifted slightly. "So? What is Wanbaohang's stance?"

Nothing else matters now; the most important thing is Manpower's attitude.

No matter how many strange things happened, Zhao Tianhai definitely died at the hands of Yun Ge.

The managers at Wanbaohang aren't a bunch of incompetent fools; they couldn't possibly have made such a mistake.

"This matter still needs to be handled by True Lord Tianbao! We don't have any specific ideas at the moment," Zhongli Xiayi said.

"True Lord Tianbao?" Yang Zhengshan looked at her in confusion.

Zhongli Xiayi said, "Tianbao Zhenjun is a fifth-rank Zhenjun of my Wanbaoxing, who is stationed in Taoyuan Mountain deep in the Wanhua Mountains and oversees a total of six Wanbaoxing in the Wanhua Western Region and the Wanhua Mountains."

Yang Zhengshan suddenly realized. He knew it! Wanbaoxing must have a Golden Core True Monarch overseeing things here. It turns out it's deep in the Wanhua Mountains.

"Then we won't fall out with True Monarch Baiyun, will we?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Zhong Lixia looked at him with a meaningful gaze, "Guess!"

Yang Zhengshan said somewhat awkwardly, "Probably not!"

No matter what, True Lord Baiyun is a Golden Core True Lord. Even if Wanbaoxing has a powerful background, it shouldn't be worth making an enemy of True Lord Baiyun because of Zhao Tianhai.

“How could I possibly guess what the True Lord is thinking? Just wait! News should be coming soon!” Zhongli Xiayi said.

……

Zhongli Xiayi was right. The order from Taoyuan Mountain was quickly delivered to Baiyun Immortal City, along with two seventh-rank stewards.

On this day, more than a dozen managers of Wanbaohang gathered in front of the gate. In addition to Situ Yuan, two other seventh-rank managers also appeared.

One was an old woman with a cane. Her eyes were sunken and her face was wrinkled like a tattered burlap sack, but the cane in her hand was quite peculiar.

It was a bluish-purple vine, and at the top of the cane was a flower that looked quite alluring.

The old woman was named Madam Wisteria. Yang Zhengshan had only heard of her name before and had never met her.

The other was a man dressed in white. Unlike Madam Wisteria, he looked very young, only in his twenties, but his eyes were as deep as the ocean.

Yang Zhengshan had met this person once before. He was known as the White-Robed Master and was said to be a talisman master, though he rarely showed his face.

Even these two came out to greet us, which clearly shows that the two managers from Taoyuan Mountain are no ordinary people. However, Situ Yuan did not come out.

Yang Zhengshan stood behind, quietly watching this scene.

About 15 minutes later, a group of people flew through the air and landed in front of Wanbaohang.

The reason it is described as a group is because there were also people from the Baiyun Daoist lineage, Yunhai, Yunbi, and Yunfan, who personally came out of the city to welcome them.

"Greetings, Master Mo Hai and Master Qing Xu!"

Upon seeing the two, the members of Wanbaohang bowed and paid their respects.

Master Mo Hai was thin with hair as black as ink, and his expression was somewhat cold. "Fellow colleagues, there's no need for such formalities!"

Master Qingxu was chubby and didn't look like a cultivator; he looked more like a wealthy old man.

His eyes were small, like slits, making it impossible to see the expression in them.

He stepped forward and bowed to Madam Wisteria, "Madam, it's been a long time!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect the True Lord to actually send you here. Well, with you all here, I can rest assured!" Madam Wisteria laughed.

Master Mo Hai nodded to Madam Zi Teng, then turned to Yun Hai and the other two beside him, "Fellow Daoists, I am new here and need to exchange ideas with my colleagues. I will not entertain you any further!"

This is Baiyun Immortal City, but Wanbaohang does not belong to Baiyun Immortal City.

Although Master Mo Hai was an outsider, he could represent Wanbaohang in front of the Wanbaohang store.

Yunhai sighed, "I hope Master Mohai can see through this misunderstanding!"

He was in a very bad mood during this period.

Not only him, but everyone in the Baiyun Daoist lineage was extremely distressed.

First, he was furious about the ambush outside the city, and then he was overwhelmed by the matter of Zhao Tianhai and Yun Ge.

To avoid suspicion, Yun Ge has already requested to enter the underground cave for ascetic practice.

This matter involves Wanbaohang, so they have to handle it with caution.
