My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 648 Compromise
"I only knew that Yang Qiangjing had never stopped researching lasers over the past century, but I didn't know that besides the 10th generation laser sword, there was such a powerful laser tower!"

"What Prism Tower!"

"Four top experts, half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, and illusory figures of the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, couldn't even withstand a single blow?"

Yang Genshuo was really scared.

The laser tower's attack directly created a spatial rift!
What power this is!

Master Jieyu, who was originally forced to sever his hands to survive after being hit head-on by the fifth-grade [Return to the Void Formation], stopped crying out in pain at this moment. After silently taking a high-grade healing pill, he allowed his hands to slowly grow back.

For cultivators of this level, as long as they have spirit stones, losing a limb is not a big deal.

He is most grateful that he wasn't hit head-on by that strange light.

The other four experts whose Heaven and Earth Dharma Image illusions were broken were not so lucky. After they fell to the ground, they coughed up blood and their complexion became extremely weak.

If it weren't for the magical artifacts they had accumulated over the years that helped them withstand most of the power, that attack would have taken all four of their lives.

"Cough cough! Cough cough! What kind of magic weapon is this? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"I thought the Yang family of the Da Nai Empire had a fifth-grade grand formation as their trump card, but I didn't expect them to have one as well."

"Master of Interpretation, is this an array or a magic weapon?"

The four struggled to their feet, completely incapacitated, and retreated.

At the same time, his divine sense also swept over the other experts on the ten ships behind him, fearing that these people would take advantage of his serious injuries to launch an attack.
Those behind them hadn't yet considered this. They maneuvered their treasure ships back ten miles, avoiding the skies above New Bright City and escaping the attack range of the laser tower.

They were terrified!

Everyone had only one thought in their minds: Is this a human?
Now, even if Yang Qiangjing invites them in, they don't dare take a single step forward.

One unpleasant turn of events, and he was reduced to ashes in a single blow.
The power of the laser tower was beyond the comprehension of these Golden Core cultivators.

At this moment, the two brothers, Ma Yan and Ma Bi, looked the worst.

During their previous poaching, they overheard news about unusual celestial phenomena from ordinary farmers in the surrounding area and realized that there was some great opportunity at hand.

Using the family's magical artifacts to deduce the aura of that land, they indeed discovered traces of the legendary place.

However, their strength was far inferior to that of the Yang family at the time, so they secretly returned to the Lingmiao Continent. After quickly dealing with the captured demons, they gathered a group of like-minded people and came together to force the Yang family to hand over the key to the legendary land.

They thought they had the Yang family cornered this time, and that they could not only enter the legendary land but also make a fortune before leaving.

Unexpectedly, the Yang family gave them a hard time right from the start!

They were able to force them back simply by using the formation, without any member of the Yang family having to lift a finger.

"Brother Ma, before we came, you didn't mention that the Yang family had such a powerful formation."

"If it weren't for the profound skills of those experts, we would probably have died on the spot."

"Your Ma family has the most people, yet you've hesitated to step forward. Could it be that you already knew the Yang family possessed such a treasure and are trying to take advantage of us?"

Upon hearing this, not only did the other cultivators turn to look at Ma Yan and Ma Bi, but the four injured experts also looked at the two with a hint of suspicion, and all stepped back to keep their distance from them.

The two are now in a difficult position and must provide a reasonable explanation.

Ma Yan pondered for a moment, then flew forward a short distance and stood in front of the crowd.

"It was because we failed to properly investigate the strength of the Yang family that the four of you suffered a setback in your first battle. Therefore, I, Ma Yan, am willing to compensate you for your losses by giving each of you a Heaven-grade spirit beast egg."

Everyone: "Hmm, that's somewhat sincere."

Upon hearing this, the four experts' tense expressions relaxed slightly.

A single Heavenly-grade spirit beast egg can fetch tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones. Even for experts like them, this is a considerable sum of money, equivalent to several years' worth of income.

Even experts need spirit stones.

Or rather, experts like them who are at the half-step Nascent Soul stage need spirit stones even more.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage depends not only on comprehension and talent, but also on a person's assets.

Otherwise, preparing for the promotion ceremony alone could consume a cultivator's decades of time.

If the ritual is not perfect, even if one has the right aptitude and cultivation level, there is still a high probability that the advancement will fail.

Moreover, even if this Heavenly-grade spirit beast egg isn't used to make money, it's still excellent to leave it for future generations.

Spirit beasts generally have a longer lifespan than humans, and once successfully trained, they can protect a family for several generations.

On the Lingmiao Continent, which immortal clan doesn't have a few guardian spirit beasts?
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's business has always been very successful, and their business is quite profitable.

As the second largest immortal clan under the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Ma family naturally possesses a rich heritage.

After Ma Yan and Ma Bi took out four Heavenly-level spirit beast eggs, they temporarily stabilized the situation and reconciled with the four experts.

Since the Master of Deciphering Language had not suffered any serious injuries, and besides, it was because his technique for breaking the formation was not good enough, he was too ashamed to ask the Ma family for compensation.

He just stood there with a dark expression, seemingly lost in thought.

After the people from the ten ships gathered together again, the Ma brothers, Ma Yan and Ma Bi, stepped forward and cupped their hands in greeting to the assembled cultivators:

"Fellow Daoists, you are all renowned figures on the Lingmiao Continent. Today, we have gathered here to seek an opportunity. I, Ma Yan, will not utter any hypocritical words. We also wish to obtain one, or even multiple, opportunities! But the Yang family is blocking our way, trying to monopolize the opportunities!"

"Our only common enemy is the Yang family. We will never harm you. If you are defeated and cannot take down the Yang family, we will not be able to enter and will not get any benefits."

"We underestimated the Yang family. Their formations and strange fire-type magic weapons pose a great threat to us. If we can't eliminate them, we'll probably have to leave in disgrace. After all, nobody wants to die here."

"Fellow Daoists, do you have any methods to counteract this? Let's discuss an excellent solution together!"

The words of the Ma brothers, Ma Yan and Ma Bi, pleased the cultivators, and their straightforwardness led to a lack of concern about the previous setback, and the cultivators began to discuss the matter.

The four injured masters are focusing on recovering and have not participated for the time being.

Having just had several of his protective magical artifacts destroyed and suffering severe injuries, he wouldn't dare enter even the legendary lands if he didn't recover in time.

The Master of Interpretation stroked his white beard, gazing at the City of Light ten miles away, his eyes filled with many questions.

"That power just now... that's the core of this fifth-grade grand formation. What kind of spirit tree is that?"

While people here were discussing this, Bright City was also holding a meeting.

Although Yang Qiangjing had temporarily repelled these people, her expression was far from relaxed.

"Grandma, are you worried that they will launch a full-scale attack regardless of the cost?"

Yang Zhuxing stood next to Yang Qiangjing and asked.

"No, they won't. I only fought off four people, and these people were scared away ten miles away. They don't have the guts to fight my Yang family to the death."

"So what are you worried about?"

"I'm thinking about what will happen next. This matter will eventually come to an end. Let's talk about you first. How could your grandfather bear to let you come here? I think it's been about 5 years since you last came here, right?"

"The old man said that they were short-handed here and asked me to come and keep an eye on things, and to step in when necessary."

"Hehe~ Little Xing, your talent and strength are quite good. You have inherited the excellent bloodline of your family. However, you are only at the third level of the Golden Core stage. This level of combat is too dangerous for you."

"Grandma, don't underestimate me. I've inherited Grandpa's true skills."

"Oh? I understand. Since your grandfather sent you here, he must be confident in your abilities. I won't say any more. If I need your help, I won't hesitate to act."

"That's how it should be."

Yang Zhuxing is a little younger than Yang Zhu, but his cultivation level is higher. He is Yang Min's only son and the most talented and powerful person in the fifth generation of the Yang family.

Um. Apart from Yang Zhu.

This guy is a prodigy. "Go to the city wall now and keep an eye on the people outside. Report to me if there's any disturbance."

"Yes, great aunt."

Yang Zhuxing walked out of the administration building, rode the wind upwards, sat cross-legged on the city wall, and let his divine sense drift to the isolation formation set up by the Master of Interpretation ten miles away.

Yang Zhuxing transformed his divine sense into a needle, piercing directly into the room and easily eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

The master of interpretation didn't sense it at all.
Yang Genshuo could only admire it when he saw it.

“Yang Zhuxing’s talent is probably the most unique in the Yang family. He becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents. With him here, we feel much more at ease.”

After hearing that the Yang family was trapped in the legendary land, Yang Fu asked Yang Zhuxing to pack his things and come to their aid.

He can be described as shrewd and calculating.

"Yang Fu is a steady man. At that time, there was no information that outsiders would pressure the Yang family, so he was already taking precautions."

"However, this time things might really turn out badly. Our ammunition isn't unlimited. That kind of attack just now must have consumed a huge amount of spiritual materials. I wonder how many more attacks of this magnitude we'll have."

Yang Genshuo quickly asked Yang Qiangjing.

“Ancestor, this laser tower is the highest power laser tower I have researched so far. It consumes fourth-grade spiritual materials and forms an annihilating force in the violent explosion reaction, which is why it can cause this level of attack. Theoretically speaking, it is already infinitely close to the attack of a Nascent Soul stage expert.”

"That's obvious, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defeat all four of them in one go."

"With our reserves over the years, we can withstand a hundred more attacks like this. If they still try to force their way in, I will give them a few more chances to see our true strength."

"Interesting. But what are you planning to do in the end? Even if we manage to scare away these 200-plus people today, what if 400, 500, or even 1000 come next time?"

The allure of the legendary land is too great; many Golden Core cultivators are willing to come and compete for its opportunities.

"Therefore, after intimidating them, I will consider reaching an agreement with them."

After hearing Yang Qiangjing's plan, Yang Genshuo nodded helplessly.

"This is the only way."

Just as he was about to go and check on Yang Zhu and the others in the legendary land, he suddenly realized something.

"Xiao Jing, what was the principle behind the power of your laser tower?"

"It consumes fourth-grade spiritual materials, causing a violent explosion that generates an annihilating force that propels the laser beam."

"Explosion. Annihilation, hiss~ Once we've dealt with the Legendary Land, we'll take a good look at your laser tower."

Yang Genshuo felt as if he had grasped something extraordinary.

A moment later, ten large ships pressed down again.

This time, the two brothers, Ma Yan and Ma Bi, stood at the front.

"Yang Qiangjing! Come out!"

Hearing the two shout, before Yang Qiangjing could even come out, four large laser towers emerged from the city wall.

The two of them were startled.

Quickly summon your spirit beast to protect you.

But this time, instead of attacking immediately, Yang Qiangjing slowly flew out.

"Do you still wish to test the formations of my Great Nai Empire?"

Seeing that Yang Qiangjing hadn't activated that strange fire-type magic weapon, Ma Yan mustered his courage and flew forward a little further.

"Lord Yang, if I'm not mistaken, the power of this formation is limited, isn't it?"

"We will rely on the treasure ships to form an array and will no longer venture out alone. If you wish to attack, please continue. However, when the power of your array is exhausted, that will be the day we enter Bright City, and also the day we massacre the city!"

"Furthermore, I've heard that many members of your Yang family have entered that legendary land, haven't they? A legendary land where danger and opportunity coexist. You might think that once you escape, you'll be safe and sound, and your future will be bright. But! Don't forget, that legendary land is outside the city!"

"You can hide inside, but as long as any member of the Yang family comes out, we will capture you. I wonder if Lord Yang will still be so tough then."

"In that case, it can be considered a stroke of luck. After all, to emerge safely from the legendary land, one must be carrying quite a few treasures, right?"

"Jiejiejie~~~"

Ma Yan and Ma Bi discussed their plan, a wicked smile playing on their lips.

Since you are heartless, don't blame us for being unjust.

Siege the city, massacre the city, guard the gate, seize the treasure!
These four methods are all aimed directly at the Yang family's weaknesses!

Yang Genshuo couldn't help but gasp.

"Damn, these guys are ruthless!"

"To block someone from getting rich is like killing their parents!"

The conflict has escalated further!
The words, especially those from outsiders, spread throughout the entire Bright City, causing local cultivators to feel uneasy upon hearing them.

They didn't want to be taken along when the city was massacred.

Immediately, some cultivators lacking courage went to the city management department to ask what to do.

Yang Minyong was furious when he saw the chaos in the city.

"Damn it! What the hell are you all panicking for! If the sky falls, we'll hold it up!"

What if you can't handle it?

One of the cultivators muttered under his breath.

Yang Minyong overheard this and flew into a rage!
boom!
His muscles swelled up, and he landed on the ground like a Gundam, creating a huge crater.

"What did you say?"

His fierce gaze was fixed on the cultivator who was trying to disrupt the morale of the army, and he approached step by step.

Instantly, the young cultivator was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

Kill the chicken and the monkey!
Yang Minyong wants to use him as a sacrifice to the heavens!

Although Yang Minyong usually speaks very roughly, he knows that stability is more important than anything else at this time, and he must suppress any discordant voices before making any further moves!
Just as he was about to seize the young cultivator and execute him on the spot, a figure in cyan light drifted over.

"Uncle, calm down. He's just scared. There's no need to make a big fuss."

Yang Zhuxing stood in front of the young cultivator, his figure slender, but he possessed an aura that commanded respect.

Yang Minyong was also at the third level of the Golden Core stage, but after hesitating for a moment upon seeing Yang Zhuxing arrive, he quietly withdrew his hand.

“I was just trying to scare him, nephew.”

Then, it snorted coldly at its surroundings and flew back onto the city wall to maintain order in the city.

Yang Zhuxing turned back and nodded to the young cultivator before flying back to the city wall to face the powerful enemy with his family.

This little incident was witnessed by many cultivators, causing much discussion in the city and creating a somewhat tense atmosphere, as everyone waited for the Yang family to make a decision.

Yang Qiangjing looked up at the cultivators in the sky and spoke calmly:
"It seems you're determined to enter today."

"Very well, since you insist, my Yang family doesn't want to fight to the death with you, so it's fine to open it for you."

"However, anyone who wants to enter the legendary White Granary must first sign a contract with us."
