Yang Chen hurriedly saluted and said, “Yang Chen will keep the great kindness of the two seniors in mind. When the time comes, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay it.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qing and Murong Baisheng were also much relieved.
After all, the common enemy of the Great Wild Hundred Clans was still the Horse-thief Gang.
Feng Wuyang laughed heartily, “Good, good, back then we were not afraid of the Horse-thief Gang. Now, the various tribes in the wilderness won’t be afraid either! Since both of you have agreed, there is nothing to be afraid of now. Do you want us to take action ourselves against the remaining bandits, or will you choose self-castration?”
The bandits brought by the Third Master were terrified to the extreme. Seeing the situation change suddenly against them, how could they calm down?
“Do you want to start a war with the Horse-thief Gang?” A bandit yelled.
Feng Wuyang burst into laughter, “Just now, our conversation didn’t seem to be deliberately hidden. Didn’t you hear it?”
At this remark, the bandits dared not hesitate. One by one, they fled as if pursued from behind.
Feng Wuyang and the other two elder powerful ones were all quick and decisive. They acted without slacking. Seeing several bandits about to escape, everyone took action. These bandits were merely a rabble in the Body Refining Realm. How could they escape under the joint siege of these powerhouses? In less than a cup of tea’s time, these bandits turned into cold corpses one by one…
After that, the Yang family returned to the clan and quickly began the highest conference, discussing preparations for war. Although the bandits brought by the Third Master were dead, there were traitors from the Horse-thief Gang in every major tribe. It was only a matter of time before the news leaked and reached the ears of the Horse-thief Gang.
Everyone foresaw the day when the Horse-thief Gang would take action.
So no one planned to harbor any luck.
As the instigator of the incident, the Yang family naturally had to actively prepare for the battle.
Yang Zhengyi sat in the main seat and asked, “What are your views on this battle with the Horse-thief Gang?”
Yang Yuan, one of the high-ranking members of the Yang family, heard Yang Zhengyi’s words, stroked his chin and then said, “Great Elder, I think whether to start a war with the Horse- thief Gang depends on the situation of the major tribes. Although the Feng family, Murong family, and Zhang family are all tribes that recognize the big picture, it does not mean that other tribes will think the same way.”
“You are right. It is still difficult for our Yang family to contribute in the fight against the Horse-thief Gang. To put it bluntly, we still rely on others.” Yang Zhengyi has no criticism of Yang Chen’s action of killing the Third Master.
After all, the Third Master’s aggressiveness was unbearable to anyone.
Yang Jin He said, ‘Great Elder, in fact, I think that if the Horse-thief Gang really starts a war with the Zhang, Murong, and Feng families, the other tribes will not just stand by. They will understand the principle of mutual dependence, and if the Horse-thief Gang wins, who in the Great Wilderness will have good days?”
“Similarly, if Feng Family and the others win, those major tribes that don’t contribute will also not have good days. So I think all the major tribes won’t be that foolish!”
“Indeed, but our Yang family is not a weakling that relies on others. If we really start a war with the Horse-thief Gang, all our fighting forces must be dispatched. This time, the Horse-thief Gang caught the Fourth Elder of our Yang family. Our faces have been torn, so there is no need to be polite anymore.” Yang Zhengyi’s fighting spirit was still there, and he immediately shouted.
“But, why should we clean up the mess that Yang Chen caused? Fighting with the Horse-thief Gang, who knows how many people will be sacrificed.” A tribal elder of the Yang family said unhappily.
This made Yang Zhengyi’s face cold, “If everyone thinks like you, what’s the point of having a clan? What’s the meaning of the family’s existence?”
Hearing this, the tribal elder was slightly startled and had nothing to say.
Yang Zhengyi swept a glance around and saw that many people had the same attitude as that tribal elder. He knew that many people in the Yang family thought like that man who had just spoken.
Yang Zhengyi was so angry that flames flew out of his head. He suddenly slammed the table, “What a load of nonsense!”Seeing Yang Zhengyi angry, everyone underneath was shocked.
Yang Zhengyi said coldly, “The purpose of the family’s existence is to unite against external threats. If anyone gets into trouble, the family can help him. If anyone is bullied, the family members can immediately help. This is the family. The family cultivates you, giving you a place to settle down, in order for you to help when someone from another family bullies us!”
“Yang Chen was able to fight fiercely with the Third Master when Elder Yang Si was in trouble. Now that Yang Chen is taking action, you all are hesitating!
What does our Yang family need you for? Tell me, who did Yang Chen kill the
Third Master for? Wasn’t it for the Yang family?”
When Yang Zhengyi’s words fell, he still seemed furious, “Now, anyone who feels it’s unnecessary to help Yang Chen can apply to me to leave the Yang family and stay out of it. Don’t worry, I won’t blame him. But when you go out in the future, don’t call yourself a member of the Yang family.”
Hearing this, those who originally thought Yang Chen was responsible for the mess changed their expressions and dared not speak.
How dare they leave the Yang family?
Without the Yang family, even as masters, their lives in the Great Wilderness would not be as prosperous.
Yang Zhengyi swept his gaze around and saw that no one was speaking, he snorted coldly, “A bunch of cowards! How could my Yang family produce such cowards? Yang Chen, don’t mind them. As long as I, Yang Zhengyi, am here, no one can insult you! Moreover, the Great Tribes will also join in the battle. The Horse-thief Gang cannot dominate the Great Wilderness by itself!”
Yang Chen was already used to the selfishness of the Yang family elders, so he didn’t take their words to heart.
If he really took it to heart, he would be angered.
After all, he was the one who stood up for the Yang family, but it was the Yang family who eventually abandoned him. To whom could he reason?
Fortunately, Yang Zhengyi was a sensible person, and Yang Chen said slowly,
“Thank you, Great Elder!”
Although he said so, the solemn expression on Yang Chen’s face did not lessen at all.
Elder Yang was sitting next to Yang Chen, and with his keen observation, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yang Chen, what’s bothering you?”
Yang Zhengyi also observed and asked, “Yes, Yang Chen, what’s weighing on your heart?”
This made Yang Chen smile bitterly, “Great Elder, I don’t know if I should mention this, but I always feel that even if the Twelve Great Tribes of the Wilderness work together, they may not be able to gain any benefits from the hands of the Horse-thief Gang. We, the Yang family, cannot rely solely on others. We must think of some methods ourselves!”
“Oh? How do you explain this?” Yang Jin He couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Chen sighed, “Look, the Third Master is usually arrogant and domineering, but he wouldn’t be so ruthless in his actions. However, in recent days, he has become even more arrogant, even daring to casually mention such a major event as going to war. It sounds foolish, but if you think about it, the Third Master is fearless because he has backup.”
“You mean, the Horse-thief Gang is secretly plotting something, and has long intended to go to war with the Hundred Clans of the Wilderness?” Yang
Zhengyi was very smart and immediately understood Yang Chen’s meaning.
Yang Chen nodded, “At first, I didn’t take it to heart, but now that I think about it carefully, don’t you think the Third Master’s arrogance is a bit too much? If he didn’t have some confidence, how could he be so arrogant?”
“What Yang Chen said makes sense.” Yang Zhengyi stroked his chin. “Now that I think about it, something really seems off!”
Yang Chen’s words were not unfounded.
For example, the Horse-thief Gang had secretly been plotting to build a teleportation array in the Inner Area of Monster Beast Mountain for several years. How could they not have other plans?
At a time when Yang Zhengyi was puzzled, he said, “Yang Chen, it’s commendable that you can think of this. What are your thoughts on the
Horse-thief Gang?”
“I want to go to Liaocheng!” Yang Chen said decisively.
“Go to Liaocheng? What for?” Everyone was confused.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and then said, “To enlist reinforcements!”
