Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 204 - 202: Jin Family of the Myriad Beasts Sect

Chapter 204: Chapter 202: Jin Family of the Myriad Beasts Sect

“The waters of Silver Brocade Lake come from our Jin Family’s territory. Without our generosity, not to mention harvesting fish, the lake itself would dry up! Isn’t it only fair that we take half of the harvest?”

“And this Earth Crystal Mine of yours—according to the contract signed with the Guo Family back in the day, we are entitled to half of the underground yield as well. It’s time for you to fulfill your obligations, and make up for the past few years’ harvest as well.”

“I would advise the Yang Family Head not to be ungrateful and to be wise. Otherwise, the fate of the Guo Family… hehe~”

The speaker was clad in beast fur, wearing a golden cap on his head, and mounted on a black panther, looking quite barbaric.

The words spoken were also exceedingly unreasonable.

This person, named Jin Wei, was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and quite powerful.

A few days ago, he had been clamoring for the Yang Family Head to return for a talk; otherwise, he threatened to linger at the Yang Family residence and refuse to leave.

After Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo rushed back from the Sect, learning the reasons, they sought guidance from the old ancestor first.

At this time, Yang Genshuo hurried back home and, having seen Jin Wei’s words, briefly communicated with Yang Fu and grasped what had happened.

“So it’s the Jin Family from beneath the Myriad Beasts Sect… I remember now,” he said.

When Baji led the assassins from the Ghost Shadow Tower to eliminate the three from the Guo Family, he remembered that those three doomed souls from the Guo Family mentioned sending a message to the Jin Family about the Earth Crystal Mine, trying to play a game of using someone else’s hand to murder, but ended up being eliminated by Baji first.

“Who would have thought, four years later, the Jin Family would still come knocking…”

No wall is impenetrable. In the six years that Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo had managed the Silver Brocade Lake location, the Immortal Clan of the Yang Family had soared, growing richer and stronger by the day, naturally attracting other’s covetous eyes.

The Immortal Clan under the Myriad Beasts Sect was not constrained by the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, and the Guo Family had nearly been wiped out by them before.

The people of the Guo Family preserved their territory only by signing a contract that stripped them of their rights and humiliated their lineage. Eventually, due to poor management, they still lost all their assets and were forcibly taken over by the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, which then handed over this treasure land to the ‘connected’ Yang Fu.

Now, seeing that the Yang Family had revitalized this piece of land and that the Earth Crystal Mine was producing again, their greed had been kindled, and they had come to shake the tree for autumn leaves.

“Doesn’t the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect care?”

“Elder Ancestor, although the Immortal Clan Pavilion of the Sect does handle some conflicts, this area is a border territory, and it’s difficult to provide support from afar. Besides, the Jin Family from the Myriad Beasts Sect can always retreat to their own lands. Once there… it would not be appropriate for our people to follow, as that could lead to conflict between two major Sects.”

“I could seek help from the Sect, but that would only be a temporary solution. How to resolve this ultimately depends on the strength of our Yang Family Immortal Clan itself… The Jin Family has an extremely bad reputation. It’s not just us who have been harassed by them; neighboring Families like the Zhao and Qian Families have been rather aggrieved these years as well.”

Now, Yang Genshuo understood.

The notorious local bully, huh!

“They’ve come knocking on the Yang Family’s door to extort us… What’s the lowdown on the Jin Family?”

“The Jin Family is a medium-sized Immortal Clan under the Myriad Beasts Sect, with over 1,200 Cultivators including more than a hundred at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Most of them practice Beast Taming Cultivation Techniques and, with the aid of Demon Beasts, have superior combat ability among their peers.”

As the Family Head, Yang Fu had Baji investigate the surrounding Immortal Clans over the years, so he was well-informed about their details, which naturally included the Jin Family, located very close by.

“Do they have any Golden Core Stage cultivators?”

“My reports do not mention any Golden Core Stage cultivators in the Jin Family…”

“That’s a relief, at least you have the Arrays to rely on for a response.”

If the opposing side had Golden Core Elders, Yang Genshuo thought there was no need to struggle; just pay up, and if they got too greedy, then flee, abandoning the residence and ceasing the game.

The Yang Family has plenty of ways to make money!

“No harm must come to Yang Fu’s two children or the child in Tian Mumu’s belly.”

Tian Mumu had become pregnant earlier this year and had three more months until her due date.

After listening to Yang Fu’s report, Yang Genshuo took a bird’s eye view of the current situation and began to ponder how to respond.

“Such a domineering Immortal Clan, often riding Spirit Beasts to reap the harvest… it reminds me of a glorious nation in history.”

“Nomadic tribes.”

Genghis Khan even took his nomadic army all the way to Europe.

Today, the Jin Family is doing the same, letting their family members ride Spirit Beasts to bully these weaker Immortal Clans with their martial might. They flee at the sight of Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect’s people only to return and reap the harvest once they’ve gone…

“To fight or not to fight?”

Yang Genshuo felt that going head to head with the Jin Family in such a situation was unwise; they didn’t possess such formidable military power.

But if they allowed themselves to be oppressed, it wasn’t just the Yang Family’s loss of revenue that was at stake – their image would take a significant hit. Previously, many Immortal Clans had held the rising Yang Family in high esteem, believing they had strong backing behind them.

If they knelt this time, it would be tantamount to telling others how weak the Yang Family was.

Forget about preserving the achievements of the past few years, there might soon be more Guo Families emerging…

When it came to the question of whether to fight or not, Yang Genshuo chose:

“Still.”

Recalling how that nomadic tribe that conquered Eurasia had collapsed… a hint of a smile tugged at Yang Genshuo’s lips, an interesting idea emerging in his mind.

“Yang Fu, today I’ll teach you a lesson, this world is not always a zero-sum game.”

“Tell the Jin Family, we want to make a business deal with them…”

Yang Fu was greatly shocked after listening!

“Is this the wisdom of the old ancestor!”

The burly and broad-waisted Jin Wei stood atop a black panther outside the Yang Family’s station, followed by a horde of family Cultivators riding Demon Beasts, barbecuing Demon Beasts outside Silver Brocade Lake, exceedingly arrogant.

The closest Zhao and Qian Families had already sensed something amiss and sent quite a few Cultivators to observe.

The Myriad Beasts Sect Jin Family had bullied them for a long time!

The Guo Family, when they were here, suffered even harsher bullying!

The Guo Family couldn’t stand it and fought back, but ended up with their family ruined and members perished. It would have been better to barely scrape by; though they would suffer the Jin Family’s plundering, the remaining family earnings were enough for their expenses. They could always think of other ways to earn Spirit Stones.

Life, while tightly stretched, could still go on.

Since the Yang Family’s arrival, they overcame the initial difficulties and life improved. So, naturally, the Jin Family returned…

The Zhao Family’s Cultivators whispered among themselves.

“The Jin Family is fattening pigs here, watching as the Yang Family redevelops Silver Brocade Lake and gains some foundation, then comes to harvest the fat and leave.”

“The last time the Yang Family head’s eldest son was born, our family sent someone to hint at the threat of this foreign clan. I wonder if the Yang Family head understood.”

“What could he do if he did understand? Without strong enough Cultivators in his family, they can’t beat the Jin Family and will just have to be slaughtered. Otherwise, if the family’s Array is broken, they’ll be left with nothing.”

The Qian Family’s Cultivators joined the conversation as well.

“The Yang Family has two Inner Sect Disciples at Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect who have quite some prestige, much stronger than us. Can’t they use the Sect’s power to strike at the Jin Family?”

“Alas… A one-time strike is possible, but can the Sect guard their family every day? Not cultivate anymore? Jin Family’s people are like dogs; they run at the scent of danger and come back at the smell of meat, unkillable.”

“Do our three families combined have the strength for a fight?”

“It’s doubtful… I see the Yang Family bustling on the surface, but in reality, they’re not as combative as the Guo Family. Today, I reckon they’ll still have to bow and present both Spirit Stones and the crops.”

“Just wait. Within three hours, the Yang Family will submit. If they don’t make an offering to the Jin Family today, I’ll lay in Silver Brocade Lake and eat fish excrement!”
