Chapter 60 – DECISION
After that, Ning Ji was saved by a person who forced Ning Ji to pay a high price in the town. After that, the Sirius Gate found out that the hostage was lost, and then, the Sirius Gate attacked and killed Ning Ji. After that, Ning Bin secretly notified the Ning Family, one of the three strongest warriors in the county, and through the Ning Family, brought an expert from the Heaven-Shaken Sect. With the smoke amulet from the Sirius Gate as bait, he killed twenty-three people from the Sirius Gate, including one from Martial Realm Cultivator, from twenty miles away.
Yang Tiangang waved the Communication Sword Talisman in his hand, narrating the contents of the talisman to everyone present, then continued to speak: “Afterwards, Wangshan Town Vice Guard Wu Fengzhu, who had always been working with his opponents, took action to kill Sun Zelei, and collaborated with the Ning Family and the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s reinforcements to break through the prison. The rest of the Sirius Gate sent their people to retreat to Tuo Wu Shan.”
Yang Tiangang explained everything that happened in the Wangshan Town to everyone present. Xu Sanniang asked curiously: Why did the Heavenly Wolf Gang purchase the Wangshan Town s at sucigh price.
Han Xiumei laughed coldly: I think that this Sirius Gate already knows that the locust plague is coming, it might be because of their own scheme: Don’t look at the high price of the spiritual valley, once we meet with it, it wouldn’t even be surprising if it was sold to us aigh price, even if it was doubled!
The Blacksmith Zhang said hesitantly: “That makes sense. Brother Yang, did the message from the Guardian Master Liu say how many spiritual valley have died this time?”
Yang Tiangang sighed, and said: “Several villages in Wangshan Town were all attracted by the high price offered by the Sirius Gate, and the total number of spiritual valley s purchased reached one thousand and eight hundred stones!”
“Eighteen hundred stones!” Everyone let out exclamations of surprise, and Blacksmith Zhang cried out involuntarily: “Why are there so many?”
It had to be known that the output of the spiritual valley s was not high in the first place. In a year, the entire harvest of the spiritual valley s was only at a mere one thousand five hundred and six hundred stones.
Right now, they were on the eve of spiritual valley’s harvest, so even after spending half a year, the’s families probably did not have much left over of their rations.
Yang Tiangang said solemnly: “This year’s Wangshan Town is even better than ours, and the most experienced Spiritual Farmers has also determined that this year’s spiritual valley will definitely have a good harvest, so naturally Wangshan Town will not have any worries, and adding to that, Sirius Gate’s purchase price is very high, and Spiritual Farmers is also worried that the spiritual valley’s prices will drop after harvesting, so they all started to sell the spiritual valley that was in their homes.”
“Of these eighteen hundred Stone spiritual valley s, one thousand and two hundred stones have already been transported back to the Zhang County. The remaining eight hundred stones were burned by the Sirius Gate cultivators who had evacuated during the recovery of the garrison, and in the end, only about two hundred stones were seized.”
The hall was once again filled with the sounds of people beating their chests and stomping their feet, as they loudly cursed Sirius Gate for wasting suceavenly treasure. Other people found it difficult to understand Spiritual Farmers’s obsession towards Ling Tian and spiritual valley.
Xu Sanniang said softly at this moment: “So you’re saying that the hope of the entire Wangshan Town is placed on the spiritual valley that we’re about to obtain. If what Brother Yang said is true, then an extraordinary locust disaster will befall. Then, wouldn’t that mean, the entire Wangshan Town …”
Everyone fell into silence, their hearts cold, Sirius Gate’s actions could be said to have ended his life.
At this time, Yang Tiangang broke the silence, and said: “Whether or not the locust swarm or not, Liu Zhen asks all the villages to be on guard, of course, he is saying that the villages should be cautious of outsiders, to prevent the Zhang County from infiltrating our town, but we should take this opportunity to organize the entire village, and prepare for the disaster, if the giant locust does not come, then we are not completely helpless against it.”
All the cultivators of Tuqiu Village in the hall looked at each other, and in the end, under the lead of Xu Sanniang and Blacksmith Zhang, all spoke at the same time: “We are following Village Head’s orders.”
Yang Tiangang said loudly: “Alright, if Wangshan Town’s matter is truly related to the locust swarm, then the locust plague will most likely come from the south, and gather the village’s highest cultivation people to form a defensive formation in the south of the village. According to the tradition, as long as I am in the center of the village, Brother Zhang and the Xu Family Patriarch can guard the two wings, but this locust plague will most likely be different than the past, and now we have four Martial Realm Cultivator, so I wish to join hands with Brother Zhang to guard the south, how about it?”
Without waiting for Blacksmith Zhang to nod his head, Xu Sanniang began to giggle: “So you’re saying that the two wings are guarded by my sister Yang and myself! However, the Yang family’s sister-in-law has just advanced into the martial arts realm, and doesn’t have her own magic tool, so I’ll protect the southeastern corner. ”
The real direction of the Wangshan Town should be the south east side of the Wasteland Town. If the locust swarm truly came from there, then the defense in the southeast side would definitely be in the southwest direction of the powerful nations.
Han Xiumei’s eyes turned, and also laughed: “I heard that the Xu family has a low rank magic tool, if sister can lend this tool to me, how about we let sister-in-law use it for defense in the southeast direction?”
Xu Sanniang pursed her lips into a smile, and said: “Sister-in-law is joking, don’t listen to the village’s gossip, our Xu Family only has this magical equipment in your hands. If we really did have another magical equipment, how could we hide it till today!”
Ignoring the fight between the two girls, Yang Tiangang continued to instruct: “Get all of the village’s strong men to prepare. Although the grains within the Ling Tian have not fully matured yet, once the locust plague truly exceeds our expectations, we will immediately organize everyone to first capture the Ling Tian.
After pausing for a moment, Yang Tiangang continued, “There are also a few families in the village that only know how to live their lives with their own lands. Tell them that if this time, the village cannot be defended, everyone’s Ling Tian will be destroyed, and tell them not to be petty, and obediently send their own Spiritual Farmers to the south of the village, and not to guard their own clan’s thirty percent Ling Tian!”
“Also,” Yang Tiangang suddenly thought of something, and added: “We will be taking two-thirds of the Jade Coins s out of the village account this afternoon. We will trouble Brother Zhang to bring the Xu Family, Iron Ox, Qing Niu, and the others to collect the grain carts from the village and makrip to the Town Security.
Blacksmith Zhang knew that this was an urgent matter and not a matter of personal grudges. He solemnly nodded his head and said: “Rest assured, I will not disappoint you!”
Yang Tiangang nodded his head, and said: “En, this is all that I can think of, who among you all have any more suggestions, let us discuss again.”
Just as Yang Tiangang and the Tuqiu Village villagers were discussing about how to defend against the locust attack, Yang Junshan suddenly felt confused because the memories of his previous life had deviated from the reality of his current life.
In the memories of his previous life, the successor to the Wangshan Town’s garrison, Ning Ji, was Sun Zelei. Afterwards, Ning Ji’s son escaped from the Tuo Wu Shan after the locust attack, and with the support of the Ning Family, he identified Sun Zelei as the spy who had helped the Sirius Gate kidnap him and use him to coerce Ning Ji.
Sun Zelei quickly confessed and was executed. After that, Ning Ji was sent by his family to train in the inner sect of Heaven-Shaken Sect, and the Wangshan Town’s guardian fell on Wu Fengzhu’s head.
He remembered that at that time, when the Heaven-Shaken Sect was collapsing, he was the first to announce his departure from the Yuxian and join under the command of the Sirius Gate, and very quickly became the front line of the Sirius Gate. At that time, the Wangshan Town’s guardian was Wu Fengzhu, and in a short period of time, the Sirius Gate was able to occupy more than half of the Mengyu County.
Previously, the reason why Yang Junshan saved Ning Bin was because he thought that Ning Bin’s early rescue could save his father’s life. This way, the Wangshan Town would still be in the hands of the Mengyu County and even if the Yuxian changed in the future, the Southern Wangshan Town would also become a barrier to stop the Sirius Gate from entering the Mengyu County.
Unexpectedly, Ning Ji still died in the end. Even though Sun Zelei was exposed beforehand, the position of Wangshan Town’s guardian still fell to Wu Fengzhu in the end. Who would believe that Wu Fengzhu was also a spy for the Sirius Gate? On the other hand, this person had endured all kinds of humiliation. In the end, the contribution of assisting Heaven-Shaken Sect to restore Wangshan Town was already certain.
Yang Junshan tried his best to make some changes, but when he turned a corner in reality, he still returned to the path he had come from his previous life, causing Yang Junshan to feel even more worried.
Because Yang Tiangang had agreed with everyone in the village, the entire Tuqiu Village began to move very quickly. All the adults who had reached the fourth stage of Mortal Realm and above gathered outside the village.
In fact, the number of grasshoppers in the wilderness over the past few days had indeed increased, and the experienced Spiritual Farmers could tell that the plague breaking out was unavoidable. However, there were still many people in the village that thought that Village Head and the rest were making a big fuss out of nothing.
The Blacksmith Zhang who was purchasing spiritual valley in the town quickly brought back the first batch of spiritual valley s that they bought for a slightly higher price. The quantity was not more than 60 stones, and at the same time, the news of the locust plague had spread throughout the town.
On the morning of the second day, Yang Tiangang once again ordered the Blacksmith Zhang to greatly raise the price of the spiritual valley s’ purchases, and in the end, only brought them back 120 stones. This time, the Tuqiu Village’s actions finally alarmed Liu Chengyu.
Liu Zhenbiao had only just arrived in order to reprimand Yang Tiangang for disturbing his people, but before Yang Tiangang could explain himself, another flash of red light and a sharp whistling sound had already alarmed the entire Tuqiu Village.
Under everyone’s uneasy gaze, Yang Tiangang, who had tried his best to remain calm, checked the content of the sword token. He said in a deep voice, “The locust plague swept towards the north from the Wangshan Town, and the locusts’ bodies were three to four inches long.
