Chapter 70 – Eyeing Red
After five days and five nights of torrential rain, another flood came right after a locust plague.
The rain had already turned blurry in Yang Junshan’s memories. It seemed that something like this had happened, but there shouldn’t be any unexpected accidents, otherwise, his memories would not be so blurry.
Although Yang Tiangang was not in the village at the moment, he still reported to his family about what happened in the village everyday. If it was a normal situation, this Martial Realm Cultivator could do it for him.
A few streams had already completely turned into a channel for the flood. After rushing out of the mountain with countless sand and rocks, they immediately spread out from the two sides of the river, submerging a large amount of land opened up by the pebbles and mounds in the upper reaches of Qinshui, including a few acres of Ling Tian s.
On this day, just as Yang Junshan was thinking about when the rain would stop, he saw Yang TienNiu run in under the heavy rain. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, “Sister-in-law, did brother just come back?”
Han Xiumei knew that something must have happened. She hurriedly walked out and said, “Your brother isn’t back yet. Brother Steel Ox, tell me what happened.”
Yang Tieniu said anxiously, “It’s the Earth Stone Village, they are now flooding the flooded fields. Although the mountain torrents have flooded the farmlands, the people of the Earth Stone Village have obviously crossed the border. The few acres of Ling Tian that originally belonged to our village have also been taken by them, and there are still a few of our Yang Family’s Ling Tian inside!”
Han Xiumei said angrily, “It’s raining so heavily and draining water in the fields, the fatty Shi is getting more and more out of hand. Brother Tie Niu, do you see how many of them there are?”
Yang Tienu said: “The three Martial Realm Cultivator s of the Earth Stone Village are all here. Oh right, that Qian Chunlai fellow as well, I think this matter might have been started by this guy!”
Han Xiumei said decisively: “Brother Tie Niu, go inform Xu Sanniang and Blacksmith Zhang and call the one with the best cultivation in the village over. Let’s go take a look!”
When Han Xiumei left, Yang Junshan followed immediately. Hu Niu who was originally like Yang Junshan’s tail did not follow him out because of the heavy rain outside.
The news quickly spread across the Tuqiu Village, and when Yang Junshan walked into the village, there were at leasundred Spiritual Farmers who had come out of their own homes, carrying machetes, metal rods, and some Runic Swords at their waists. It was clear that they were prepared for a fight.
Yang Junshan would naturally not participate in a group fight, with his current cultivation, he did not even know who he would be beaten up by.
Yang Junshan’s eyes turned, he had actually donned a straw cape at home, and dove head first into the rain, but he did not head towards the fields upstream from Qinshui, but instead turned and headed towards the Tu Shi Village.
At this time, most of the Spiritual Farmers s in the Tu Shi Village had followed the three Martial Realm Cultivatoo head to the Qinshui. When Yang Junshan walked all the way to the Tu Shi Village, he did not notice anyone’s identity at all.
“The Spiritual Farmers in the village has followed the Village Head to head upstream. It’s rare for them to not stop for even two days during this rainy day!”
A few village lackeys were chatting while it was raining, but when they saw Yang Junshan come over to their side to listen to their nonsense, they paid him no mind, and continued to chat and laugh loudly.
What do you know? The upper reaches of Qinshui is being washed into a vast ocean by the torrential flood, the Village Head and the rest are currently bringing the Spiritual Farmers to clear the farmlands, saving the time when the people of the Tuqiu Village took over our village!
Who doesn’t know that you are taking advantage of the flood to take advantage of my family’s Tuqiu Village. I heard that there are still a few acres of Ling Tian in the upper reaches of Qinshui, so I’m guessing that there iigh chance that you are headed towards those acres of Ling Tian.
“Don’t tell me that the Tuqiu Village has never occupied our village’s land before? The two villages have already fought many times over land and water, yet you still need to fight this time? ”
Honestly speaking, ever since Tuqiu Village switched to Village Head, that new Yang Cunzheng is no pushover. In the past two years, our village has never tried to get anything from him.
“If you don’t have the confidence, Village Head Shi would dare to take this risk? This time, our village has the backing of the town’s Vice President Qian Chunlai. As long as we possess those few acres of Ling Tian, and then forcefully change the Tian Qi and send it to the town for the record, then these few acres of Ling Tian will belong to us too, and when that time comes, Qian Chunlai will be able to stand up for us! ”
“Vice Captain Qian?” When did Qian Chunlai become the guard? ”
“You don’t know that? Originally, our town had contributed the most, and was most likely to become an outer disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect. But then, we suddenly changed the rules, Yang Cunzheng did not meet the requirements of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, but Qian Chunlai actually went up all of a sudden, and got the support of our country’s top three tyrants, the Xiong Family. Becoming an outer disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect is something that everyone is sure of, and now that people in the town have seen him, they call him ‘Vice Commander Qian’! ”
“Damn, this guy is a scumbag who got his way for the sake of his future prospects in Earth Origin Village. I heard that he suffered greatly from Yang Cunzheng’s big loss at Tuqiu Village and even had his butt shot by Yang Cunzheng’s son. Do you think he will suffer badly this time?”
At this point, a few idlers let out a few stifled laughs before one of them said, “It doesn’t matter if that Qian guy is defeated or not, as long as our village doesn’t suffer any losses this time!”
“Actually, this is all due to the locust swarm. Although our village managed to preserve forty percent of the harvest, after the collection of the grain tax is completed, there is not much left, and after Tuqiu Village heard that sixty to seventy percent of the harvest was guaranteed. After the collection of the grain tax, the remaining spiritual valley s are comparable to the ones in the past! If we do not seize this opportunity now, if this goes on, next year, because our Spiritual Farmers is lacking spiritual valley to maintain our cultivation, there will definitely buge gap between us and the Tuqiu Village, and we will not be able to contend against him! ”
“They’re all jealous!”
“Now, who in the Wasteland Town isn’t jealous of the Tuqiu Village? Not only is his family’s spiritual valley storehouse full, I heard that before the locust plague, Yang Cunzheng used the village’s treasury to purchase 180 stones from the spiritual valley s and piled them up in the village’s warehouse to prepare for the war. Say, who do you think the Tuqiu Village does not attract anyone’s hate? ”
Ignoring the admiration and amazement of the group of idlers, Yang Junshan had already rushed out of the biggest and best house in the village. This should be the Village Head’s house in the village.
At this time, Shi Jiutong was fighting with people from the Earth Stone Village over land in the upper reaches of Qinshui. There was no one at home, but Shi Jiutong was a cultivator with martial arts realm after all.
Yang Tiangang had even set up a formation inside Yang Junshan’s house, especially to protect the spirit well in the backyard. Normally, if there was someone in the house, the formation would not activate, but once there was no one in the house, it would activate on its own and prevent others from entering.
If the Martial Realm Cultivator were to come, these simple protective formations or warning talismans would naturally not be able to stop him. However, the cultivators would mostly carry their wealth with them and would rarely leave it at home, so the Martial Realm Cultivator would naturally not put any of those things in his eyes.
However, the things that he did not put in his eyes using his martial arts realm were not completely useless to the current Yang Junshan.
The Dao of formations was vast and profound, and its starting point was even on the path of alchemy and artifact forging. Usually, one would only be qualified to study it after reaching the martial arts realm realm, and good formation masters were all respected existences in the cultivation world.
Furthermore, in his previous life, after the great change that had occurred in the world, various mystical arts and techniques of the cultivation world had emerged out of nowhere. All the sects and families did not dare to ignore their broom in front of a calamity, and this allowed a rogue cultivator like Yang Junshan to have the opportunity to come into contact with the secrets of the array that rogue cultivators originally did not even have the qualifications to come into contact with.
After walking around the large courtyard once and discovering that there were no people around, Yang Junshan took out two Jade Coinhat had escaped from his waist pouch and crushed them in his hands, releasing a ball of dense spirit energy. Yang Junshan then formed a finger seal with his right hand, and the ball of spirit energy was immediately activated.
If anyone who knew better saw this, they would definitely cry out in alarm. Yang Junshan’s ability alone was enough to fight shoulder to shoulder with those veteran Symbol Masters.
Pushing the Void Talisman onto the courtyard’s wall before it fell to the ground with a single hand, the talisman immediately burrowed deep into the bricks. Yang Junshan then felt the ground beneath his feet slightly tremble, after which he gave a low laugh, leaped up and stuck to the wall, and flipped into the courtyard.
At the same time, upstream of Qinshui, the flood from the western mountains had already turned the land in front of them into a country of lakes. At this time, however, there were two groups of several hundred people standing against each other in the water!
In between the two groups of people, there was a stone tablet that was shattered into pieces, the Blacksmith Zhang on the side of the Tuqiu Village held a gigantic iron hammer tightly, his face slightly pale, facing another gigantic man who had also reached the second stage of the martial arts realm, holding onto a steel rod, he looked at Blacksmith Zhang with a stern expression.
When the citizens of Tuqiu Village had rushed over, the people of the Stone Village were currently moving the Boundary Stone from the field to the side of Tuqiu Village. When they saw the people of Tuqiu Village rushing over, they hastily prepared to bury the Boundary Stone.
The Blacksmith Zhang, the person with the highest cultivation among all present, did not say a word. He immediately brought out his own mid-grade magic tool, the Refined Iron Hammer, and smashed it towards the few Stone Village villagers who were carrying the World Stone.
However, the World Stone was smashed into pieces by the Blacksmith Zhang. Just at this moment, another magic tool flew over from the opposite side, and clashed with the Forging Hammer in the air. The Blacksmith Zhang was slightly inferior, and the fat man in front of them was the Village Head from the Earth Stone Village, Shi Jiutong.
