Chapter 314: Chapter 309: The Blazing Sun Shines, Elementary Rank 5

Ultimately, her slender, pale finger pointed east, away from Slave Ant Ancient City.

That was the direction of Qingshi Town.

Yu Qianshuang said, "Yue Sheng, take Jingyi and go to Qingshi Town. When I have taken full control, I will certainly call for your return."

Hearing this, a faint sense of joy bloomed in Fang Yang’s heart.

Qingshi Town had been his intended retreat all along.

Now, judging from Yu Qianshuang’s actions, it seemed he had truly influenced her.

In other words, although Yu Qianshuang was nominally his sovereign, in reality, that was not the case!

HUM.

HUMMM.

「The next morning.」

Under Fang Yang’s lead, the Qiu family’s caravan departed from the eastern gate of Slave Ant Ancient City, heading straight for Qingshi Town.

Thanks to Fang Yang’s efforts, the Qiu family was now a force to be reckoned with, in no way inferior to the Chen family of the past.

Furthermore, because their family legacy was built on Talismans, their power and influence were even greater!

Along the way, the Qiu family’s caravan was harassed by hordes of Fierce Beasts, bandits, and even spies from other families.

But with Fang Yang’s ruthless methods, he eliminated these obstacles one by one.

At this moment, they arrived at the southeast entrance of Qingshi Town.

However, they were stopped outside by Qingshi Town’s local constables.

Even the Town Protection Array was faintly aimed at them!

It was obvious that if anything went wrong, another bloody battle would erupt.

Fang Yang’s expression was calm. "The Town Lord’s communication Talisman?"

"We don’t have it." The Qingshi Town constable chief gave a wry smile.

In that moment, the constable chief realized he and his men were being used as pawns by the local powers.

But the situation had already been set in motion, and he had no choice but to see it through.

Fang Yang’s expression remained calm. "I’m telling you to answer it."

WHOOSH—

The constable chief jolted.

The next moment, the Qingshi Town Lord’s voice, cursing up a storm, drifted out of the communication Talisman.

"Yang Zhendong, you son of a bitch, are you asking for a beating?!"

"I went to the Leaping Carp Ice Spring for secluded cultivation, not to die!!"

"You motherfucker, aren’t you going to open the damn gates for me?"

"Did you hear me? Get a move on! For fuck’s sake...!"

The constable chief bowed his head, listening to the Town Lord’s furious tirade, but he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

’When immortals fight, mortals suffer.’

He hastily urged the other constables to open the gates and respectfully ushered the Qiu family’s caravan into the town.

Fang Yang observed this, his state of mind tranquil.

But as he stepped into the territory allocated to the Qiu family, he narrowed his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

A sliver of his Tier Four Middle realm aura instantly scared off the onlookers.

「Late at night.」

The Qiu family had temporarily settled in.

And in the study, Qiu Jingyi had specifically come to find Fang Yang.

"Yue Sheng."

Qiu Jingyi said, "Qianshuang hasn’t been betrothed all these years. From my experience, I’d say it’s nine times out of ten because she already has someone in her heart."

"And that person is you."

"You don’t have to be so quick to avoid the subject. I’ve been thinking a lot lately."

"I think if you were to marry Qianshuang, your future path would surely be much smoother."

"I’m already very happy to have been able to walk with you for this long."

"You... you shouldn’t be trapped here."

"Besides, this is the only way our Qiu family will have a path of retreat..."

...

...

And so, Fang Yang led the Qiu family, quietly laying low in Qingshi Town.

But he was a Tier Four Middle Great Cultivator. In the region of Ant-Controlled Ancient City, his strength was significant enough to tip the scales.

Because of him, not only were the local powers of Qingshi Town on edge, but even the Yu family was constantly inviting him to come out of seclusion.

And because it wasn’t Yu Qianshuang who held power in the Yu family, Fang Yang politely refused their invitations every time.

He remained in Qingshi Town, holding back and quietly cultivating in seclusion.

As for the younger generation, he kept them under strict control with stern reprimands.

However, how could one allow others to snore beside one’s own bed?

Inevitably, the Qiu family came into conflict with the local powers in Qingshi Town and was forced to eliminate them.

Other than that, the Qiu family almost never showed its claws.

Time flew by. Under Fang Yang’s leadership, the Qiu family became like a giant crocodile in the abyss.

From a distance, it was difficult to glimpse its fangs.

Get too close, and you were certain to be torn to pieces.

Meanwhile, with Fang Yang’s guidance, Yu Qianshuang made steady progress, quietly laying her plans.

Finally, when Fang Yang had advanced his cultivation to Tier Four High, it was at last Yu Qianshuang’s turn to take the reins of power in the Yu family.

In this year, Qiu Jingyi turned forty.

Power not used is power wasted.

In that same year, Fang Yang accepted Yu Qianshuang’s invitation and took the opportunity to return.

And with his Tier Four High cultivation, he gloriously ascended to the position of a great general, looked up to by all the heroes of the realm.

During Yu Qianshuang’s time in power, he fully displayed his talents, fighting tirelessly and overcoming powerful enemies time and again.

He gradually pushed his life and career to their peak, to the point where even Yu Qianshuang had to rely on him completely.

Gradually, with his help, Yu Qianshuang went from being a rotating Patriarch to the permanent Patriarch.

She even ascended to the throne of the Ant-Controlled Ancient City Lord!

Despite his immense power and influence, he never forgot his original goal.

He gradually withdrew from the limelight, bravely retiring at the peak of his career.

In the end, he secured their wealth and status, allowing the Qiu family to put down roots and flourish, constantly developing.

Moreover, he also achieved his ultimate goal: to live as a distant ancestor, accompanying his childhood sweetheart, Qiu Jingyi, loving and protecting her, and spending a wonderful life with her.

’It’s finally ending,’ Fang Yang sighed inwardly.

On her sickbed, Qiu Jingyi closed her eyes and passed away peacefully, a smile gracing her lips.

This layer of the Star Dream Realm had lasted for quite a long time, far exceeding Fang Yang’s expectations.

Throughout these long years, he had improved his various skills, but it had been difficult to avoid the toll it took on his spirit.
