Chapter 253 Establishing Prestige
Liang Yuan looked back at Tu Long, whose face was full of helplessness and frustration.

Obviously, what Old Man Yang said was true.

Liang Yuan asked: "You can't even cure an old man?"

Tu Long was helpless: "In our entire shelter, he is the only one who can make Explosive Rune Stones. Every time we trade with Gou Wu Pavilion, we rely on the income from his Explosive Rune Stones to exchange for the plum blossom pigs from Mei Hai Garden, the red chickens from Wu Wang Pavilion, eggs and so on."

"Old Dog Hong said that this is the cash cow of our Phoenix Temple. We can't hit it or scold it. We can only coax it."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, as expected, a blacksmith must be strong himself.

The reason why this old man is so successful is because he has an excellent ability in making talismans.

If it were an ordinary old man, even an old man who had awakened ordinary superpowers, he would never be able to receive such preferential treatment.

Didn’t you see Uncle Ge next to Han Xiangman? He is over 50 years old, but he still has to fight on the front line.

Because of this, Uncle Ge can become the core figure of Han Xiangman's team.

Looking at his own old man Ma Guocai, he has not awakened his special abilities and is now basically a marginal figure.

Many times it’s not that Liang Yuan doesn’t want to take care of them, but their strength is there.

As ordinary people, they simply cannot do some dangerous things.

If this continues, we will become increasingly marginalized.

The same is true for Cai Zhi. Their situations are actually very embarrassing.

The two are considered veterans, but because of their low strength, they are becoming increasingly marginalized.

However, both of them are smart and know how to take the harem route.

Cai Zhi's wife Wu Qian and daughter Cai Yao have always maintained a close relationship with Yang Mei.

Lao Ma’s wife, Aunt Li, has always been very close to Song Wen.

Thanks to their wives, these two people can still maintain a good status in the shelter. Ordinary survivors still have to be polite to them when they see them.

Of course, this is also related to the identities Liang Yuan assigned to them as patrol members.

Liang Yuan saw all of this and did not do anything extra.

He was also happy to see his former companions live a better life.

Yang Mei listened patiently as Old Man Yang talked about his sad journey.

At the end, Yang Mei asked, "Uncle Lin, do you know anything about my parents? How are they doing now?"

Hearing this, Old Man Yang shook his head and said, "When I left Meishan Village, the flood had not yet come. Your parents were both in Meishan Village at that time."

"Then the great flood came and I never went back. I don't know what's happening to me now."

Yang Mei immediately showed a look of disappointment, forced a smile, and said, "Oh, so that's it..."

Seeing Yangmei's dejected look, Old Man Yang couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, little Yangmei, your parents must have gone to Meishan a long time ago."

"We all know that we need to run to the mountains for shelter, so how could the people of Meishan Village not know that?"

"They lived at the foot of the mountain at the time, so if they wanted to go up the mountain, it would definitely be much more convenient and faster for them than for us."

Old man Yang's words gave Yang Mei a lot of comfort.

Indeed, Meishan Village is at the foot of Meishan Mountain.

Different from later-built communities like Yangshan Community, Meishan Village still retains its village ecology and has not been overdeveloped.

Basically every family has a rural villa with fields and yards.

Meishan Village has even been designated as a scenic ecological village by the Linjiang Municipal Government. Many people who come to Meishan for sightseeing will look for local farmhouses to eat and stay.

This is considered a major source of income for Meishan Village.

In addition, Meishan is rich in bayberries. Every June and July, when bayberries are ripe, a large number of tourists come here to taste them. Many people also bring their families and children to pick bayberries by hand and experience the fun of rural life.

So, Meishan Village is really at the foot of the mountain. Once you go out the door, you can reach the mountain in just a few steps.

Old man Yang was right. If a flood occurred in Meishan Village, the people of Meishan Village would definitely move to Meishan as soon as possible.

Liang Yuan also came over at this time, gently hugged Yang Mei's waist, and said: "Sister Mei, don't worry, Meishan Village is full of single-family villas, not high-rise buildings. If there is a flood, the houses will be submerged. Your parents will definitely move to the mountains as soon as possible."

"There were almost no mutant creatures in the water at that time, so they were basically not dangerous."

Yangmei's eyes were red and she hummed.

When Old Man Yang saw this scene, he looked a little strange. He looked at Liang Yuan's arm holding Yang Mei, and then looked at Liang Yuan again.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Um...are you Li Zhiqiang? How come I haven't seen you for half a year, and you seem like a different person?"

Liang Yuan was stunned, and Yang Mei suddenly realized that in the eyes of people who once knew her, she was still Li Zhiqiang's wife.

At that moment, there was a flash of fear in her eyes, as if something shameful had been discovered by an outsider.

Liang Yuan gently stroked Yang Mei's back, comforting her while smiling at Old Man Yang: "Uncle Lin, right? I'm Liang Yuan, Sister Mei lives with me now."

Old man Yang was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and said awkwardly: "Oh, look at me... I'm old and confused. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He apologized quickly and looked at Yangmei with some apologetic eyes.

Yang Mei waved her hands repeatedly: "No, it's okay, Uncle Lin, I... Li Zhiqiang and I..."

She subconsciously wanted to explain, but Liang Yuan held her hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, you have worked hard on this journey. I will take you to find a place to rest first."

Old Man Yang was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to meet the boss here... eh? Are you Liang Yuan?"

Old man Yang suddenly reacted. He had heard this name many times on the road, but he didn't react at first. Now he suddenly realized that the young man in front of him might be the leader of this shelter?
He defeated Tu Long?

Subconsciously, Old Man Yang looked at Tu Long who was lying on the ground beside him, and his thoughts were immediately confirmed in his heart.

Then he looked at Yangmei again, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Yang Mei pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but in public, her past was not very glorious, so she couldn't speak.

At this time, Liang Yuan stood up and said, "Uncle Lin, I am Liang Yuan. You have nothing to do here. Since you are Sister Mei's uncle, you are also my uncle. The grudge between me and Phoenix Temple naturally has nothing to do with you."

After that, he said to Song Wen who was standing beside him, "Song Wen, take Uncle Lin to the bamboo house downstairs to rest first."

Song Wen also noticed Yang Mei's embarrassment. She immediately came over, hugged Yang Mei first, and then said, "Sister Yang Mei, let me arrange it."

Yangmei nodded and hummed.

Then Song Wen took Old Man Yang downstairs.

After sending Old Man Yang away, Liang Yuan turned to Yang Mei and said, "Sister Mei, you don't have to explain anything. Just follow me and no one can question you."

"Go back to the room and rest. I'll take care of this."

Yang Mei's eyes were red and she nodded slightly. Dong Yan and Liu Feifei came forward to accompany her into the cave.

Tu Long pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he didn't hear any exciting news, and he felt a little itchy.

His intuition told him that there must be a story between Liang Yuan and this busty young woman.

That busty young woman actually has a husband, and isn’t her ex-husband’s surname Liang?

What does this mean?
Damn, this guy named Liang is not a good person either.

He felt even more fearful and wary of Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Are you listening carefully?"

Tu Long immediately pretended to be dead, groaning as he held the place where he had been kicked.

Liang Yuan sneered and ignored the guy.

Because he saw Han Xiangman leading the people from Wuwang Pavilion back.

After a while, Han Xiangman came to the upper floor and saw Liang Yuan. She said, "Mr. Liang, all the supernatural people in Wuwang Pavilion have arrived."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded at her: "Thank you for your hard work."

Han Xiangman shook her head slightly: "You saved us and took us in. This is nothing."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "Let's put one thing first. By the way, has Wu Meng left?"

Han Xiangman nodded: "He left. The people at Wuwang Pavilion saw him leave with their own eyes."

"Have you come down the mountain, or have you already gone out to sea?"

"He went out to sea. I asked Hongmian to follow him and see. He took a small raft and paddled westward."

Han Xiangman hesitated for a moment and said, "He took away a lot of supplies. The people at Wuwang Pavilion said that most of the water-repellent talisman stones were also taken away."

Liang Yuan sighed. He didn't expect Wu Meng to be so decisive.

I thought it would take at least some time for him to leave.

I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Liang Yuan said: "It's a full 50 kilometers from here to the Guangfu military base. Even if he is very powerful, it will take him a long time to paddle on a raft. He must have brought enough supplies."

"The flood is everywhere. If he can't find a place to stay in time, he can only spend the night on the water. The monsters in the water may appear at any time. The water-avoiding rune stone can save his life at the critical moment. He must bring it with him."

Han Xiangman couldn't help but say, "I'm not sure if what the people from Wuwangting said is true. That's what the woman named Zhuang Shuyuan said."

Liang Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why, isn't Zhuang Shuyuan the one in charge there now?"

Han Xiangman shook her head: "It seems like she can't control herself anymore."

As she spoke, Han Xiangman recounted what happened over there, focusing on the subtle competitive relationship between Zhuang Shuyuan and Li Yuejin.

After listening to this, Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, saying, "See, this is the end of the world, everything is so realistic."

"Everything is based on strength." "Including me. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to build a strong shelter and a complete fighting team."

As he spoke, he looked at the people who had gathered downstairs and said, "Let's go, it's time to go talk to them."

After that, he turned his head and looked at Tu Long, saying: "Tu Long, it's time to show yourself."

Tu Long climbed up reluctantly. He knew very well that Liang Yuan wanted to use him to establish his authority and build Liang Yuan's prestige.

Think about it, the leader of one of the four major shelters in the past, Tu Long of Phoenix Temple, had to surrender to Mr. Liang. Who else would dare to have any other thoughts?

However, the way Liang Yuan went downstairs made Tu Long's eyes widen.

But Liang Yuan strode out and actually stepped out directly from the bamboo building.

But he did not fall to the ground, but just stood in the void.

It was as if there was something in the void that was supporting him, allowing him to overcome gravity.

"This...this is impossible!"

Tu Long's eyes widened suddenly in disbelief.

Stepping in the air?

how did you do that?
Han Xiangman's pupils suddenly contracted, and her pretty face was filled with shock.

She noticed that Liang Yuan's feet were not pointing downwards, and they were not floating in the air.

Instead, his feet stood firmly in the void as if they were walking on flat ground.

It was as if it was not air, but the solid earth under one's feet.

The next moment, Liang Yuan took another step and walked casually in the void.

It was as if there was an invisible staircase in the air. Liang Yuan walked down the stairs and slowly walked towards all the supernatural beings in the three shelters!
This scene was so shocking that all the psychics in the three shelters were stunned.

Zhuang Shuyuan's beautiful eyes were filled with horror.

Li Yuejin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Ji Feng, Wang Xiao, Han Ben and others were also shocked.

flight?

This Mr. Liang can actually fly?

On the Mei Haiyuan side, Kong Sheng and others also felt their scalps tingling. Only at this moment did they realize what kind of person the person who defeated Li Yuefeng was!
"Wow—"

Suddenly, there was a cry of an eagle, and Tu Long's fingertips activated the pattern spirit, transforming into a giant eagle, soaring into the sky and following Liang Yuan.

When the survivors of Phoenix Temple below saw this scene, they all showed excitement.

"It's Boss Tu Long!"

"The boss is still alive, really alive!"

"Did the boss cooperate with Mr. Liang?"

"Are we not considered prisoners?"

"Great, the boss is still alive!"

……

Everyone in Phoenix Temple was excited and started talking about it.

However, the next moment, all their excited discussions suddenly disappeared, and everyone's face showed astonishment.

But Liang Yuan was seen standing in the air with his arms outstretched.

Tu Long circled in the air, hesitated for a moment, then obediently shrunk his body, quickly flew towards Liang Yuan, and stood obediently on Liang Yuan's arm.

This scene instantly shattered the impression of Boss Tu Long in everyone's mind at Phoenix Temple.

Their boss, the once ferocious Tu Long, actually transformed into a giant eagle and flew onto the man's arm like a pet!
At this moment, all the psychics in Phoenix Temple felt a huge fear in their hearts.

Comes from the fear of Liang Yuan!
Liang Yuan gently stroked Tu Long's eagle head and said with a smile: "Not bad, you cooperated very well."

Tu Long lowered his head and cried like an eagle to hide the embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart.

Liang Yuan stood in the air, looking at the people below, and said calmly: "Everyone, I guess you all know why you are here?"

"That's right. Your leader, the former boss, is in the Gou Wu Pavilion Alliance, discussing how to kill me, an outsider."

"As for the results, you saw it."

"I came back alive, but they, haha."

He chuckled and glanced at everyone.

Everyone present immediately lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look him in the eye.

Liang Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "From today on, the entire Yangshan Mountain belongs to me. The so-called four major refuges will no longer exist. Here, there is only one refuge!"

"That's my Liang Yuan's refuge!"

"From now on, you must obey my orders, accept my management, and do things according to my rules."

"Understand?"

No one below dared to speak.

Liang Yuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "I'm asking you, do you understand?"

Suddenly everyone's heart trembled, and Ji Feng, Kong Sheng and others responded subconsciously in a low voice.

"Listen...I understand."

Liang Yuan's face darkened, and he suddenly looked at the people at Wuwang Pavilion with a cold look: "I'll ask again, do you understand?"

hum!
In an instant, a mental shock wave swept towards everyone in Wuwang Pavilion.

"what!"

"puff!"

In an instant, all the superpowers in Wuwangting screamed in agony. Those with weak mental strength even spurted blood from their mouths and noses, their faces turned pale.

Everyone covered their heads and wailed in pain.

This is the result of Liang Yuan restraining his mental strength.

With his current mental attribute of 50 points, even with the white skill [Mental Shock], none of the psychics present could withstand it.

If he used his full strength, most of the people present would have their heads exploded and die.

This time, it's just a warning.

Liang Yuan stared at the people in Wuwang Pavilion with a sharp gaze and shouted, "Do you understand?"

This time, Zhuang Shuyuan took the lead and shouted, "I understand, Mr. Liang, we Wuwangting are willing to accept your leadership."

Li Yuejin and others followed suit and shouted.

"understood."

"heard it."

……

Liang Yuan sneered and looked at the others.

The people from Meihai Garden and Fenghuang Temple had already stood in an orderly manner.

They, the people with special abilities, understand better the value of what Mr. Liang did just now.

With just a glance, he almost killed all the superpowers in Wuwangting instantly.

They didn't even know what powers or methods the other party used.

Liang Yuan glanced around and said in a deep voice: "You must take responsibility for the mistakes made by your former leader."

"In the next month, I need all of you from the shelter to come and work for me to build my shopping mall complex."

"After serving here for a month, you will be free again. You can choose to stay or leave Yangshan. I will not stop you."

"I still say that those who stay must listen to my arrangements and follow my rules."

"From now on, everyone obeys the orders of my patrol team."

"The temporary leaders of the three shelters will stay here. Zhao Kai, you take the others to the valley behind the fire bamboo forest and build a shopping mall complex according to the original plan by cutting through the mountain and wall."

Zhao Kai nodded excitedly: "I understand, Brother Liang."

After saying this, he went down and immediately gathered everyone to leave.

As the newly elected leaders of the three shelters, Ji Feng and Kong Sheng both stayed.

However, the situation at Wuwang Pavilion was a little strange. Zhuang Shuyuan and Li Yuejin did not leave.

Liang Yuan looked over and asked condescendingly, "What's going on with you two?"

Zhuang Shuyuan looked at Li Yuejin with an unpleasant expression and asked, "Teacher Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yuejin didn't look at her, but looked at Liang Yuan, and said: "Mr. Liang, I am the talisman maker of Wuwang Pavilion, and I can make water-repellent talismans."

"And I have been in Wuwang Pavilion for so long, and I am actually responsible for many things in Wuwang Pavilion."

"Please give me a chance, I will prove my ability."
