Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 67 – Solo

“There really is a Bug King?”

Yang Tiangang saw that his son actually also wanted to ask about the formation, but after looking at Xu San and Blacksmith Zhang for a moment, he still asked about other things.

The Insect King was naturally extremely important. If he could be sure about that, when he encountered the giant locust again in the future, the most important thing would be to find and kill the Insect King.

Furthermore, many giant locust s in various parts of Yuxian were plagued by this disaster and it was filled with grievous news. If he could truly confirm that there was an Insect King among every locust swarm, then it would be of great help to the Yuxian in its battle against the locust plague.

Right now, it was already the second day of the locust invasion. Even if Yang Junshan did not tell them the secret of the Insect King, tomorrow, he would be discovered by chance, and after two to three days when the various cultivators confirm it, the Yuxian’s giant locust would be suppressed one by one.

Yang Junshan nodded, “There is indeed a Insect King!”

With that, he told the rest about what happened on the western mountain. Blacksmith Zhang heard that the group of giant locust that was attacking Tuqiu Village and the village was of the same group, and after Yang Junshan killed the Insect King, he let out a cold snort. “Those bastards from the village took advantage of me!”

Yang Tiangang pondered for a moment, and said: “Although we are not certain that the insect king exists in every single wave, we still have to report this matter to Liu Zhen. Once the existence of the insect king is confirmed in any other village, it will undoubtedly be beneficial for fighting against the giant locust.”

Xu Sanniang spoke in a sour tone: “If that’s the case, Brother Yang, I’m afraid that you have made another meritorious service. Recently, there has been a rumor in the town that Liu Zhen may rise in rank, and Heaven-Shaken Sect will choose to take over the position of Martial Realm Cultivator in the town. I’m afraid that Brother Yang iot candidate this time, and might even be accepted as an outer disciple by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, rising to become the strongest in the town!”

Although the losses suffered by the Tuqiu Village in the giant locust disaster had yet to come to fruition, it was definitely much less than the losses he suffered in the village earlier. This was actually a great contribution, if combined with the matter of the Insect King, it would be hard for Yang Tiangang to not gain the attention of the Heaven-Shaken Sect.

Although Yang Tiangang reported the possible existence of a Bug King among the giant locust to the guard, Yang Junshan did not care about this matter. After all, being able to lessen the locust swarm in the entire Yuxian was still considered to be a good thing.

The thing that Yang Junshan truly cared about was that although the insect king’s secret could not be kept for long, the cultivators at this time did not know that the insect king was actually a demonic locust that had been demonized, and that the beasts that were demonized by the locust must have celestial spirits in their bodies. Hence, even if the cultivators that killed the insect king had immortal spirits, they did not know that the insect kings of the giant locust all had celestial spirits in their bodies.

Yang Junshan secretly told Yang Tiangang about this matter, and also showed the Winged Fairy Spirit that he had obtained for the couple to see. The two of them were amazed, previously, Yang Junshan obtaining this pair of Demonic Bear Palm Immortal Spirit Qi was already something that made the two of them extremely happy, they did not expect his son to find a pair of Immortal Spirit Qi. Although it was only a low grade spirit stone and the scope of it was extremely narrow, it was still a pair after all.

“You mean to say that the insect kings in the other giant locust groups might have celestial spirits?”

Yang Tiangang took a glance at Blacksmith Zhang and Xu Sanniang, especially the daughter-in-law of the Xu Sanniang family. Then, he quietly formed a hand seal with his hand, and a bizarre wave started to circulate around Yang Tiangang, so that no one could hear his words.

Yang Junshan naturally knew that the technique was actually called the “Hidden Sound Method”, it waechnique that cultivators used to discuss secrets. Once the technique was used, even if Xu Jing had a special innate hearing ability, she would not be able to hear the conversation between the Yang family members with her current cultivation.

Yang Junshan laughed: “In any case, killing a few insect kings is not bad, on the contrary, it will further increase your reputation as an old man. If there really is a fairy, then you will earn!”

Yang Tiangang’s expression was clearly moved, but Han Xiumei also instigated: “I can see that what my son said makes sense, with how widespread the disaster is, it will probably be difficult for everyone here, if we can get a few immortal spirits, then we can at least get a few hundred Jade Coins, and that will be enough for us to spend a long period of time!”

When Yang Junshan saw that even his mother had joined in the persuasion, he knew that it was very likely that she had succeeded. In fact, Yang Junshan could have done it himself, but with his current cultivation, it would not be easy for him to find the locust swarm. However, for a Martial Realm Cultivator like Yang Tiangang who already had his own consciousness, it was much easier.

As the group of giant locust that attacked the village becamile of sand, although the number of ordinary locusts that were carried away was still above the group of giant locust, but with the combined efforts of the Tuqiu Village, on the morning of the second day, the Tuqiu Village’s locust swarm had basically been controlled, and on the third day, the locust swarm had already been exterminated on a large scale. By the fourth day, the Tuqiu Village’s locust swarm had basically been exterminated, becoming the first village in the entire Wasteland Town to escape from the plague of locusts.

Tuqiu Village had roughly estimated the losses caused by the locust plague this time. All the Ling Tian only received about seventy percent of the spiritual valley s, and because they had not reached a fully matured world, their output had dropped by forty percent compared to last year’s.

When the news spread, not only was the Tuqiu Village not disheartened, instead, all of them were overjoyed, and were even happier than when they had harvested the year before, because news of the calamities that had occurred in various parts of the Mengyu County had also been constantly spread to the Tuqiu Village. From these news, forget about the other villages in the Mengyu County, even those who had lost sixty percent of their harvests, were extremely few in number.

In the entire Mengyu County, only the farms near the county city had a harvest that was comparable to the Tuqiu Village, but because the county city had Adept Realm Cultivator as its leader, it was considered not bad for the other villages to have thirty to forty percent of the harvest, and the Tuqiu Village had a unique situation in the entire Mengyu County.

If it was said that all of Tuqiu Villagad only recovered sixty percent of the harvest, then Yang Junshan’s family of spiritual valley s had also snatched back at least eighty percent.

Due to the effect of the poison powder, the Ling Tian s of the Yang Tiangang family did not receive too much damage from the locusts. Only less than 10% of the spiritual valley s were eaten by the locusts because of the uneven distribution of the poison powder.

There were many rumors in the Wasteland Town, saying that after Liu Zhen left, it was very likely that Yang Tiangang would be moved to town. Even if he did not take over the role of a guard, he would at least become Yang Tiangang’s assistant, and after a few more years, the Wasteland Town would definitely be in his hands.

However, just as everyone in the Wasteland Town was discussing about Yang Tiangang, this Tuqiu Village was lying in wait outside a village in the Wasteland Town.

Using the method that Yang Junshan provided, Yang Tiangang quietly left the Tuqiu Village on the day that the locust plague was resolved, and then he went to the Earth Meng Village and Earth Yuan Village. Without alerting the two village Martial Realm Cultivator s, he found and killed two Bug Kings and oveundred Bug King guards, and as expected, he obtained two low tier Celestial Spirits.

However, at this time, most of the Wasteland Town’s giant locust calamities had already been effectively controlled, so Yang Tiangang came to this village of the Wasteland Town.

The plague of locusts in this village had yet to completely disperse. Looking from afar, one could see that the spiritual valley among the Ling Tian in the village had already been nibbled into pieces.

Yang Tiangang observed from the outside of the village for more than two hours. Through the special technique Yang Junshan had intentionally brought up while he was talking about the Insect King, he had already determined the Insect King’s location. It was only because that place was too close to the village, that if he made a move, it would most likely alarm the Martial Realm Cultivator in the village.

In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Yang Tiangang had been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for this group of Insect Kings to leave the village for a while before making his move. However, he was currently a bit anxious, and based on his calculations, at this time, he should have already confirmed the report he had made to Heaven-Shaken Sect about the Insect King.

Just then, a movement came from the locusts in the distance. Yang Tiangang raised his head and looked over, only to see that one technique after another had exploded within the locust swarm, causing the giant locuso die.

Two cultivators of the martial arts realm walked out of the village while talking and laughing, the person in front of him, Yang Tiangang, was someone he was extremely familiar with, it was Qian Chunlai, who he had a grudge with previously.

“Strange, what is this Qian Chunlai doing in the Wasteland Town!”

Yang Tiangang quickly restrained his Qi, afraid that he would be discovered by two cultivators of the same cultivation level. Fortunately, the two did not expect that there would be someone hiding at the side during the plague of locusts.

“Then it’s decided. When the time comes, I hope that Ye Village Head can help me speak a few more words. I will definitely reward you handsomely!”

Qian Chunlai looked extremely serious and sincere.

The other cultivator that escorted Qian Chunlai out of the village laughed and said, “Rest assured, Brother Qian. Leave this to me, Old Ye. When the time comes, my brother-in-law will definitely speak up for you.”

Before they left, Qian Chunlai had even shoved a embroidered bag into the man’s hands. Judging from Yang Tiangang’s experience, the embroidered bag should be filled with a considerable number of Jade Coins s, but Qian Chunlai did not know what he was doing to actually be willing to spend so much money.

After Qian Chunlai left, Village Head Ye also returned to the village through the group of giant locust. It had already been five or six days since the locust plague broke out, and even the slowest village would have controlled the situation by now, but Village Head Ye seemed to not care about the locust plague in the village.

Yang Tiangang stared at the back of Ye Village Head in disdain, only until the man’s back was completely covered up by the locust swarm did he rush towards the west of the village. When Qian Chunlai and Ye Village Head came out of the village previously, a burst of crazy bombardment actually scared the insect king far away from the village, towards the west of the village.
