Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 281 The Powerful Royal Family
Zhou Qing called Wang Yang over and asked, "Wang Yang, how far is this place from your family?"

Wang Yang's spirits lifted, and he said, "It's less than a thousand miles from here."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "I'll take you back now to resolve your family's problems. It will just be the two of us, so be prepared."

He then called Xiao Xiao and the other three over and said, "I'm going to leave with Wang Yang first. You can stay here and cultivate. If any outsiders ask, just say that I'm in seclusion and not receiving any guests."

Xiao Xiao and the other three nodded in agreement.

That same day, Zhou Qing changed his aura, took Wang Yang away from the group, and headed towards the Wang family's location.

Although Wang Yang had always been by his side, he was not his follower, so he was not as well-known to outsiders as Xiao Xiao.

Zhou Qing therefore felt that his plan had a chance of success.

Zhou Qing rode his flying sword, carrying Wang Yang on his journey, and arrived near the Wang family's residence in less than half a day.

The Wang family was merely a Qi Refining family, so naturally they couldn't access any spiritual veins. Their family's residence was very close to the cities of mortals, which was considered to be the area between the immortal path and the human path.

In the mortal world, the Wang family is a renowned and aloof force. All heroes and outlaws, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, hold them in the utmost awe. No matter what disputes arise in the martial world, as long as any servant of the Wang family comes out, a single word from them can quell the conflict.

However, in the world of cultivation, the Wang family is merely an insignificant existence.

The Wang family's Liuxian Mountain Villa is located on Xiaojing Mountain.

At the foot of Xiaojing Mountain lies a lake called Xiaojing Lake.

There are many farmhouses and courtyards around Xiaojing Lake, which belong to the Wang family's estate.

For reputable sects, and even Foundation Establishment families, there are no farmhands who specialize in farming, and they generally don't need to eat much.

As for the Qi Refining King family, although the Bigu Pill was not considered a particularly valuable item, it was not something they could afford to provide for the entire family to consume every day.

All of this information was given to Zhou Qing by Wang Yang.

Zhou Qing thus gained a deeper understanding of the distinct social classes within the cultivation world.

He entered the Qingyun Sect from the very beginning, and his daily interactions were at least with the heads of Foundation Establishment families, so he really didn't know much about the dynamics of these smaller families.

The two walked through the farmhouses and courtyards and arrived at the foot of Little Mirror Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a platform, and next to the platform is a stele with the three characters "Jiejian Stele" inscribed on it.

Wang Yang explained, "When ordinary people in the martial arts world have disputes, they sometimes ask my family for help in resolving them. When they arrive at this place, they must take off their weapons and climb the mountain empty-handed to show that they have temporarily put the dispute aside."

At this point, Wang Yang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it was just a way to establish authority. I hope you won't laugh at me."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "It's alright, it's very interesting."

The two walked to the Sword-Unlocking Stele and found a large group of martial arts practitioners gathered there. These people all had a fierce and unruly demeanor, but here they were all well-behaved and dared not behave in the slightest.

A younger member of the Wang family was listening to these江湖客 (jianghu ke, meaning people from all walks of life) talking, occasionally nodding slightly to indicate that he already knew.

Finally, he said to the wandering swordsmen, "I will report your request to the patriarch immediately. Please wait here."

The martial arts practitioners immediately showed excited expressions and said one after another, "With the Wang family involved, this matter will be much easier to handle!"

Zhou Qing asked one of the men dressed in mourning clothes with curiosity, "What is it that you are asking the Wang family for?"

The man looked at Zhou Qing and Wang Yang with suspicion and said, "May I ask how you are addressed, sir? Do you also have a favor to ask of the Wang family?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I guess so."

The man sighed, "Fortunately, the Wang family is here to protect the martial arts world, otherwise I would have to go to various places to seek justice."

"My family owns the Longwei Escort Agency in Huzhou. Three years ago, my father was escorting goods through Xiushan when he was spotted by a wicked crippled man. Because he was lame, the crippled man despised those with able legs and cut off the legs of my father and thirty other escorts." "In response, our Longwei Escort Agency used all our wealth to recruit martial arts masters to defeat the crippled man. However, this villain's skills were extraordinary. Eighteen top masters from various schools were unable to defeat him and were instead killed by him. Only three managed to escape by feigning death."

"Afterwards, we discussed it and concluded that only the Wang family could kill this traitor, so we came here to seek help."

He let out a long sigh at this point.

Zhou Qing glanced at the people who came to plead with the Wang family and saw that they were all wearing mourning clothes. They were either from the Longwei Escort Agency or family members of the fifteen martial arts masters who had been killed.

Before long, the Wang family members returned.

The man from Longwei Escort Agency hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has Old Master Wang agreed to take action?"

The Wang family shook their heads and said, "We are really sorry, but our Wang family is facing a great enemy and can hardly protect ourselves. We really can't spare any manpower."

The members of Longwei Escort Agency were stunned and asked, "Who is this person that even Old Master Wang can't handle?"

In their minds, the old master of the Wang family had already entered the Dao through martial arts and become a first-class Earth Immortal. How could anyone make the Wang family unable to protect itself?

The Wang family members shook their heads with a wry smile, thinking to themselves, "How could you possibly know the vastness of the world?"

He turned to go back to the mountain, but then he saw an old man walk out from the crowd.

"I'm sorry, the Wang family is not receiving guests at the moment."

The Wang family members stopped Wang Yang and said.

Wang Yang glanced at him and smiled, "Who is Wang Can to you?"

The Wang family member was taken aback and said, "It is indeed my father. And who are you?"

Wang Yang sighed, "Time flies so fast, Wang Can's little brat is already so big."

Hearing his arrogant tone, the Wang family members figured he was no ordinary person, so they set aside their pride and asked, "May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

Wang Yang laughed and said, "My name is Wang Yang. You may not have heard of me, but your father definitely does."

The disciple was immediately shaken and exclaimed, "So it's the Ancestor who's returned!"

"My father has been waiting for you for many years, please come in quickly!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone at Longwei Escort Agency, Wang Yang and Zhou Qing crossed the Sword-Unlocking Platform and headed up the mountain.

Ancestor?

Wouldn't that mean someone of a higher generation than the Wang family patriarch?

Such a being must be a celestial being descended from heaven!
Led by a disciple named Wang Xin, Wang Yang and Zhou Qing made their way up the mountain.

The current head of the Wang family, along with several of the most powerful elders in the clan, are holding a meeting.

When Wang Yang and Zhou Qing entered the council hall, they were both sighing and looking helpless, clearly facing considerable trouble.

Hearing footsteps, Wang Can and the elders looked outside. When they saw Wang Yang's face, they were all shocked and rushed over.

"Uncle!"

Wang Can exclaimed excitedly, "You're finally back!"

Wang Yang laughed and said, "After wandering around aimlessly for so many years, I haven't been able to do anything for the family. How dare I come back?"

Wang Can said emotionally, "Uncle, why say that? We all know what happened back then."
