Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Hearing Yang Zhengshan say that he wanted to kill them, Cheng Wuji and Han Changshun immediately struggled violently.

Deng Yuehe's already uneasy heart became even more uneasy.

"Why are you still standing there? Help drag them down and kill them!" Luo Jinsong saw that they were struggling hard, and hurriedly said to Li Chang next to him.

Li Chang's followers stepped forward and directly dragged Cheng Wuji and Han Changshun down.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Deng Yuehe, an old woman, but she looked to be in her forties, with crow's feet all over her eyes, but it can still be seen that she should have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan was not concerned about her appearance, but what she was useful for.

"How high is your cultivation?"

"To reply to the Marquis, I condensed the innate true qi twenty years ago, but in the past ten years, my cultivation has rarely improved!" Deng Yuehe said respectfully.

Yang Zhengshan calculated in his mind that twenty years ago, this lady Deng had already cultivated to the half-step innate before she was less than forty years old, which shows how high her cultivation aptitude is.

But now she is nearly sixty years old, but her cultivation has not reached the innate realm, which can only mean that the innate opportunity is really hard to come by.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it, and took out a jade box with his sleeves.

"Three yellow plums are helpful for condensing the innate true qi and connecting the meridians. Although it is not certain whether it can help you break through to the innate realm, it should be helpful to you!"

"Since you are willing to join Darong, I will give you this three yellow plum!"

Deng Yuehe was stunned at first, and then she was overjoyed and knelt down and said: "Thank you for your gift, Lord! From today on, I am willing to follow your lead and serve you like a dog and a horse!"

She was not happy about the three yellow plums, but Yang Zhengshan's attitude.

Yang Zhengshan gave her the three yellow plums, which meant that Yang Zhengshan would not break his promise, and that their Lu family could really join Darong and would not be abandoned.

This is also the reason why Yang Zhengshan gave her the three yellow plums. This is not a spiritual fruit, but a heart-settling fruit.

"Get up!" Yang Zhengshan said calmly.

"Thank you, Lord!" Deng Yuehe stood up.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Luo Jinsong again and said, "You will go to Xingyue Island tomorrow, take Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang with you, um, let Yu Tonghai lead the Tenglong Vanguard to go with you."

The high-level officials of Xingyue Sect have been wiped out, and only some small minions are left. There is no need for Yang Zhengshan to go out personally, and the Tenglong Vanguard is enough.

"What should be done with the people on the island?" Luo Jinsong asked.

"Just do it as you should, Madam Deng, you can discuss it with Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang when the time comes!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Well, the old woman will obey the order of the Lord!" Deng Yuehe said.

Since they are asked to discuss it, it is natural to leave no trouble while protecting themselves.

Most of the residents on Xingyue Island are from the fifteen surnames of Xingyue Sect. Except for Wang Mingjian's Wang family and Li Chengzhang's Li family, the remaining thirteen families probably cannot be left.

Deng Yuehe was not a saint. She was ready to kill people on Xingyue Island.

…

On an uninhabited island northeast of Manyue Island.

A small boat slowly approached the shore, and several warriors in black robes carried the weakly breathing pirates into the island.

The island was not big. It was just a patchwork of reefs. It was no more than a hundred feet long and only twenty or thirty feet wide. However, there was a valley in the center of the island.

An old man covered in black robes stood in front of many pirates, among whom there were actually several soldiers of Dayong.

These pirates were put on the ground. Each of them was breathing weakly. Although they were not dead yet, they were not far from dying.

"Lord Liejun, this is the last batch. Dayong cleaned up the battlefield too quickly. It is difficult for us to find the wounded now!" A black-robed warrior said softly.

The old man in black robe nodded slightly, "Move everyone here first!"

A moment later, more than a dozen seriously injured and dying people were moved to a low-lying area.

The old man in black robe came forward to check one by one. He divided the injured into different places according to their cultivation level.

Almost one group was below the third level of the acquired realm, one group was from the fourth to the sixth level of the acquired realm, and those above the seventh level of the acquired realm were put together.

There were about a hundred people in total, and only seven or eight people were above the seventh level of the acquired realm.

Suddenly, the old man in black robe exclaimed, "Hey, this is it!"

He looked at a familiar face, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wake up, wake up, are you dead!"

The old man in black robe patted the other person's face.

With his eyes open, Yue Hongyi tried hard to see the person in front of him.

"Save me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

At this time, Yue Hongyi was seriously injured and dying. An Yuxing's wine gourd hit his chest, shattered, and his internal organs were also severely damaged.

However, if he can get good treatment and cultivate himself for two or three years, he can still recover as before.

The vitality of the innate warrior is still very tenacious.

"You are Yue Hongyi!" the old man in black robe asked.

"You know me, who are you?" Yue Hongyi saw the old man's face clearly and looked more alert.

The old man in black robe smiled, "Ling Bufu, I wonder if Master Yue still remembers me?"

"It's you!" Yue Hongyi thought of a weak figure.

Ling Bufu was the son of Ling Bo, a great pirate in the southeastern sea. Ling Bufu was weak and sickly when he was young. In order to help him cure his illness, Ling Bo collected various precious medicines everywhere, and even went to Xingyue Island to ask for medicine in person.

At that time, Yue Hongyi was not the sect leader of the Xingyue Sect, nor was he an innate warrior, he was just a steward within the Xingyue Sect.

He had met Ling Fuhua, but that was more than fifty years ago.

He can remember Ling Fuhua because of Ling Bo.

Ling Bo had no grudge against Xingyue Sect. Xingyue Sect even traded many precious medicines to Ling Bo back then, which could be regarded as helping Ling Bo and Ling Buqi.

Thinking of this, Yue Hong forced out a smile and said, "Brother Ling, please help me. I will be rewarded generously after I recover!"

"A generous reward? What can you give me?" Ling asked with a smile.

Yue Hongyi frowned, but still said with a weak breath: "Anything is fine, as long as you want it, I will try my best to give it to you!"

Ling Fuli nodded, "Okay, I want your blood!"

"You!" Yue Hongyi looked at him with some surprise.

Ling Buhua held down his hands, and then leaned over with a smile on his face, "You and I have become acquainted, and I will give you a happy one today. Don't worry, you won't die too soon! "

As he spoke, he bit down on Yue Hongyi's carotid artery, blood gushed out, and he swallowed heavily.

Yue Hong opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"You have practiced evil skills!"

At this time, Ling Buhua's eyes had turned blood red. He looked at the old Yue Hongyi with his blood red eyes, as if there was a teasing smile in his eyes.

Yue Hongyi felt that his blood was constantly draining, and the vitality in his body was constantly disappearing. Emotions of weakness, fear, and panic climbed into his heart.

He wanted to beg for mercy, curse, and resist, but unfortunately, the weakness in his limbs made him remain silent in the fear of death.

Ling Fuli swallowed Yue Hongyi's blood with big mouthfuls. He swallowed not only the blood, but also Yue Hongyi's innate true energy.

The Blood Art of Xu Ling is practiced with blood, but it is also true energy.

The basic idea is to refine other people's Qi and blood into your own.

To Ling Fuhui, the energy and blood of an innate warrior was like a powerful tonic pill.

But within a moment, Yue Hongyi's energy and blood were sucked dry by him, and his old body now became like a mummy.

In contrast, Ling Fuhua had a rosy complexion and black hair, as if he was more than ten years younger.

"Hahaha~~"

Ling held his head high and laughed. Yue Hongyi and him were no less than a great opportunity.

After absorbing Yue Hongyi's energy and blood, his cultivation level will be further improved.

"Young ones, the rest is for you to enjoy!"

Hearing this, the surrounding black-robed warriors shouted overjoyed: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"

The next moment, a group of warriors enjoyed the food in front of them.

These people are all believers of the Shenyang Sect, and they practice the spirit-retaining and blood-refining techniques.

It's a pity that Yang Zhengshan didn't know that there was actually a group of Shenyang Sect followers hidden here, otherwise he would have come over and wiped out these rubbish things.

…

The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Yang Zhengshan took Jinhaiwei's Dafu Ship to Xingyue Island.

He stood on the pier, looking at the green hills on the east side of the island, then at the town outside the pier and the endless rice fields.

"This is a good place!"

Xingyue Island is really a good place, with mountains, water, fertile fields, and a small town.

Based on the conditions of Xingyue Island, if ten thousand people live there, it can be completely self-sufficient.

The only thing that was not very satisfying was the strong smell of blood permeating the island.

"Master Marquis, has everything on the island been taken care of? All those who deserve to be killed have been killed, and all those that deserve to be buried have been buried!" Luo Jinsong stepped forward to report.

Deng Yuehe, Wang Mingjian and Li Chengzhang stood behind him respectfully.

There were many people outside the dock. They were all members of the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Li family. There were about three to four thousand people.

Most of them are members of the Wang family and the Li family. The Lu family, Deng Yuehe's husband's family, has only a few hundred close relatives except Deng Yuehe's children and grandchildren.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and said to Deng Yuehe and the others: "I'll give you three days to prepare. After three days, you will all move to Darong. That's no problem, right?"

"No!" Deng Yuehe and the others said quickly.

Now that the Xingyue Sect has been destroyed, they are now the prey of Yang Zhengshan. They have handed over the lives of the entire clan to Yang Zhengshan.

"Well, let's get ready!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The three retreated, along with their clansmen, and soon only the Tenglong vanguard soldiers were left on the dock.

After they retreated, Yang Zhengshan led Yu Tonghai and Luo Jinsong towards the town outside the dock.

Xingyue City cannot actually be regarded as a city, because it has no city walls, but there is the main hall of Xingyue Gate in the city, and it is also the place with the largest population on Xingyue Island.

Its size is about the same as the county seat of Darong, with a permanent population of about 10,000.

Most of the houses in the city are made of wood, and there are many mansions and courtyards, as well as teahouses and restaurants.

Yang Zhengshan observed this small city as he walked.

"How much money and food do you have?" he asked casually.

"We haven't calculated the statistics yet, but we have already controlled the warehouses of the Xingyuemen main hall and the warehouses of many mansions. However, there are still many villages on the island. Now the soldiers are carrying money and food from various villages!" Yu Tonghai replied.

Yang Zhengshan stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "How many granaries are there in the city?"

"Three places!" Yu Tonghai said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and said, "Leave a granary behind when you leave!"

Xingyuemen has a lot of food reserves, because Xingyue Island has a population of nearly 50,000 and cannot be self-sufficient, so they need to purchase food from the outside world. In order to avoid being controlled by others in terms of food, they will store a lot of food.

"Yes!" Yu Tonghai agreed without asking why.

"What else is good on the island?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"There is a medicinal field at the foot of the mountain over there, about ten acres of land, and there are many precious medicines in it." Yu Tonghai said.

There is a reason why Xingyuemen chose this island as the headquarters. Although the land that can grow precious medicines is not a blessed land, it is not comparable to ordinary arable land.

"Keep the medicinal field and don't let anyone move it! Before leaving, you leave 300 soldiers to help take care of it for a while!"

"You will also stay here with your guards!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at Luo Jinsong.

"Yes!" The two responded.

Xingyue Island is a good place, not far from Darong, and Darong should not occupy it. The reason is very simple, there is no need.

Yang Zhengshan wanted to take this place for himself, and also wanted to use it as a retreat for the Yang family.

The Yang family might not be able to stay in Darong for too long.

It's not that he doesn't want to stay in Darong, but Darong can't accommodate the Yang family.

At present, there are many masters in the Yang family, including Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng, Wu Zhan, Wu Zheng, and Luo Jinsong, five half-step innate warriors, and more than ten post-natal ninth-level warriors in addition to them.

If another ten years pass, Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng, etc. will probably become innate warriors.

By then, the Yang family will have six or seven innate warriors, can Emperor Yanping still sleep well?

In the past, Yang Zhengshan felt that the Yang family was too weak and it was difficult to protect itself, but in the future, Yang Zhengshan would worry that the Yang family would be too strong and would be feared by the emperor.

Once the emperor fears the Yang family, Darong will definitely not be able to accommodate the Yang family anymore.

So to be prepared, Yang Zhengshan plans to use this place as a retreat for the Yang family.

"Let's go, let's go see the wealth of Xingyuemen first!"

Then the three of them came to the warehouse of Xingyuemen's main hall. Xingyuemen has many warehouses, including medicine warehouse, weapon warehouse, treasure warehouse, silver warehouse, etc.

Among them, the weapon warehouse is basically empty, and the medicine warehouse is also relatively empty. Only the treasure warehouse and silver warehouse are relatively abundant.

The treasure warehouse contains a variety of things, including various gems, ores, precious medicines, and many strange things, including a spiritual fruit.

As for the silver warehouse, there are about two million taels of silver. Xingyuemen is still short of silver, otherwise they would not support Qixingtang to make money in Darong.
