Chapter 198 - 198: 195: Heading to Liaocheng (End of Great Wilderness Arc)_l

When he opened the door, he saw Yang Jin He waiting outside, which touched him deeply. Yang Jin He’s wait undoubtedly expressed his importance to him.

“Yang Chen, are you out of seclusion?” Yang Jin He said, looking delighted. He took a careful look at Yang Chen, and his heart set off a storm: “Did you succeed?”

“I am glad to have not let you down.” Yang Chen thought back to the results of his five days of seclusion and laughed heartily.

Yang Jin He laughed amiably, stroking his small beard: “It’s good that you’ve succeeded. Yang Chen, you still have a long road ahead; sometimes, you don’t need to be too hasty. You can progress step by step and take it slowly. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”

He now regarded Yang Chen as a treasure and was afraid that something might go wrong with him.

“Clan Leader, don’t worry, I know my limits,” Yang Chen replied.

“Good, as long as you know your limits, ” Yang Jin He said with relief.

Yang Chen leaned back on his hands and sat down with Yang Jin He.

Gu Mingyue quickly went to pour tea and water, helping Yang Chen and Yang Jin He fill their cups, then stood quietly to one side, secretly watching her young master with a happy, contented smile on her face. From time to time, she revealed a silly expression that was adorable and touching.

Yang Chen didn’t notice these details. He now shared a cup of tea with Yang Jin He and asked, “Clan Leader, what has been happening in the Great Wilderness during my seclusion? Have there been any changes?”

“There haven’t been any major changes, but quite a few things have happened in these five days,” Yang Jin He replied with a grin, “Once you gave the word, both the Feng family and Murong family acted decisively. They joined forces to suppress the Chen family and Wang family. The Chen family, not knowing the situation, dared to resist and clamor, but after Feng Wuyang and the Murong family’s Ancestor joined forces to kill several powerful ones, they calmed down.”

This made Yang Chen smile wryly.

The Chen family really didn’t know how to appreciate favors. Since they chose to side with the horse-thief gang and the horse-thief gang failed, they were on the losing side. It was already good enough that they weren’t exterminated, but they still dared to talk back.

He didn’t have much sympathy for the Chen family, as he had already decided not to annihilate them completely, but they still weren’t satisfied? It wasn’t his fault.

Even under the pressure from other middle-ranking tribes, I doubt the Chen family can maintain their small clan status. They may become marginalized, barely maintaining their lineage. The Wang family, on the other hand, was much more aware of the situation.”

“Oh, what did the Wang family choose to do?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“The Wang family knows how to handle things. They voluntarily handed over Wang Ren, Wang De, and Wang Lang. These three had grievances with you and were the root of the conflict between the Wang and Yang families,” Yang Jin He explained.

“Oh?” Yang Chen was quite surprised.

It seemed that the Wang family really knew how to handle matters by handing over the three people who had a grudge against him.

“Seeing the Wang family act this way, the Feng family naturally didn’t have any issues. As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face. After killing these three people who had a grudge against you, they made a bit of a fuss in the Wang family and then let it go. While the Wang family can’t keep their status as a great tribe, it’s enough for them to barely rank among the middle-ranking tribes,” Yang Jin He laughed.

Yang Chen said, “That’s good. There’s no need to kill them all; it’s enough to set an example. If you really start a massacre, it will only make the other tribes feel uneasy. The Yang family can be a king, but not a second horse-thief gang.” He said this undoubtedly implying to Yang Jin He.

He couldn’t stay in the Great Wilderness for the rest of his life, and the ones who would eventually be in charge of Yang family were still Yang Jin He and Yang Zhengyi.

“I understand these things, and in fact, Elder Zhengyi is not too ambitious at his age. But our Yang family’s momentum now can make us a super-tribe with no problem. Moreover, Elder Zhengyi went into closed-door cultivation some time ago and is trying to break through to the Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Level. Haha, if he succeeds, our Yang family’s position as a super-tribe will be solid,” Yang Jin He laughed loudly.

Recently, as happiness brings a refreshed spirit, Yang Jin He’s appearance had become increasingly cheerful.

Yang Chen could feel Yang Jin He’s happiness and nodded when he heard the current state of the Yang family.

With the Yang family’s ample resources and his own influence on the various tribes in the wilderness, it was not a problem for the Yang family to stay safe for decades.

Moreover, with these resources, the Yang family could cultivate even more talents in the next few decades.

“I’m relieved now,” Yang Chen sighed, and suddenly changed the subject. “I can also leave the Yang family with peace of mind.”

“Leave the Yang family? Yang Chen, where are you going?” Yang Jin He was shocked.

Yang Chen smiled, “The young master of Jin Cheng has been kind to me, and he still has quite a few troubles in Liaocheng. It’s only right that I help him. More importantly, neither I nor the Yang family should have our sights limited to the Great Wilderness!”

“You mean…” Yang Jin He became thoughtful.

Yang Chen simply said, “Leaving the Great Wilderness is inevitable for me. In the future, I’ll not only leave the Great Wilderness, but I’ll also go to more distant places. So I plan to start by exploring the way in Liaocheng. After spending some time there to stabilize, it’ll be good for the Yang family’s talents to receive support in Liaocheng. Thus, the new and old members can help the Yang family grow stronger gradually. Of course, this is assuming your ambition, Clan Leader, is not limited to the Great Wilderness!”

All he could do to help the Yang family was this.

As with Zhang Xuelian in the past, they could only protect as long as they could. The rest would be left to fate. After all, no clan could last forever and never decline in this world.

Yang Jin He stroked his chin, “Of course my ambition is not limited to the Great Wilderness, but I’m afraid those tribal elders think differently…”

“Ha, do I still need to worry about their opinions at this stage?” Yang Chen laughed.

“Well, that’s true. In that case, let me report this matter to Elder Zhengyi. I’m sure he’ll agree. Yang Chen, if you want to go to Liaocheng, I won’t be able to accompany you as Clan Leader. Be careful on your way,” Yang Jin He said, shaking his head after considering Yang Chen’s cultivation level and realizing he couldn’t help much.

“Clan Leader, I leave the matters of the Great Wilderness to you,” Yang Chen said with mixed emotions.

“Alright,” Yang Jin He agreed.

The two didn’t talk for long before Yang Jin He left.

Yang Chen, on the other hand, remained deep in thought. As he looked around at the familiar surroundings and land, how could he not feel sentimental?

After a long time, he suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Mingyue, who was daydreaming behind him, startling her.

“Ming Yue!”

“Young Master!”

Yang Chen looked into the distance and asked, “Do you want to follow me to see the outside world?”

When Gu Mingyue heard that Yang Chen was going to leave the Great Wilderness, she was already heartbroken. But hearing his words, the dim flame inside her suddenly ignited, and she nodded repeatedly, like a pecking chicken: “Wherever the Young Master goes, Ming Yue will follow!”

Finishing this chapter signifies the end of the Great Wilderness arc, and the protagonist will start to stretch his wings in a broader sky. By the way, there will be another update tonight..
