635: Chapter 437 635: Chapter 437 All the wealthy families were gathering together, and this even dragged their family into the mix.
Tang Feiyang had also noticed another difference, only the Guardian God Family members did not participate in the banquet.
He felt it wasn’t because that family’s people were inactive, perhaps they had seen clearly, seen through which faction those active in the crowd belonged to.
The members of the Husheng Family’s faction weren’t active at all.
Tang Feiyang had also discovered that his own family and team were among them.
Tang Feiyang… Could it be that his family and team had also been infiltrated by these bad elements?
He began to report his concerns to his father, and the two of them talked for a long time in the study.
They unanimously agreed that things couldn’t go on like this, so they called a meeting with the family team, and seriously told them to restrain their household members.
Tang Feiyang and his father also told their family that they should not actively participate in so many events, wishing they could bring people from these different teams into their home.
Tang Feiyang and his team and family also solemnly mentioned one point, that Du Jiaolan and the women active around her, especially Du Jiaolan, her sisters, and mother, needed to be guarded against.
At first, the meeting’s attendants thought that women like to gather, and that they were all from high society, which we recognize and interact with.
This was absolutely beneficial for them holding positions in the Imperial City, as fulfilling the role of wise and supportive spouses was necessary.
Tang Feiyang, frustrated by these people’s disbelief, told them that among this active group, there were people from the Prime Minister.
Lately, the Prime Minister had also seemed to be constantly active, and in secret, he was up to something with their team.
“It’s strange, the King’s health has improved a lot recently, those Princes were previously very active, but now, seeing the King in good health, they don’t dare to make a move,” said one of the ministers.
This person had thought about choosing sides, not wanting to be on the King’s side, but later, Tang Weiguo, the Chief of Staff, opposed it, saying that as long as the King didn’t die for one day, his sons wouldn’t have a chance.
Besides, not one of those Princes was competent; if they were to ascend to the throne, there was a possibility they would be worse than the King, so it would be better to support the King.
Tang Weiguo was also anxious, with an incompetent King and worthless Princes; if they, as subjects, didn’t rebel, they had no choice but to remain loyal.
But such loyalty was laborious and strenuous.
With treacherous officials making chaos behind the scenes, it wasn’t just their disruptiveness, but they also colluded with outsiders.
He and his son used to not support the General or the opposition, forming an independent faction with another team.
Now they supported the General, protected the motherland, opposed the reactionary faction, and their two teams collaborated to control the opposition.
They prevented them from joining forces with terrorists to cause trouble in the Imperial City.
Tang Feiyang had recently noticed the absence of Ye Tian; upon inquiring, he learned that Ye Tian had gone on a mission.
Old General Ye was in command, limiting the opposition’s ability to cause trouble.
Tang Feiyang was very curious about what kind of mission Ye Tian had gone on.
Was it related to the King’s health?
Tang Feiyang heard some news that a city had been taken over by terrorists; it was Ye Tian who called on friends to eliminate those terrorists, to resolve the poison, and exterminate the rabid rats.
He remembered the young man who had detoxified Immortal Venerable City; at the time, he had witnessed the terrible state of the sealed city with poisoned people.
In order to save the people in the city, high-ranking Mages were mobilized to concoct Pills and use protective gear to guard their breath.
Even so, they could only save a few people until the arrival of that young man, who with a wave of his hand, scattered green flowers across the sky, filling the air with the vitality of Qi.
Even he, who had been lightly poisoned, felt refreshed, sensing the impurities in his body being cleansed by the Qi, permeating out and stinking up his whole body.
It’s fortunate that we have Cultivators with us; with one Spell, we can remove the stench from the entire city.
Tang Feiyang envied their capability, as his Confucianism Tao family, skilled in martial arts, did not possess such flying tricks.
Seeing many people already starting to advance their Cultivation, his family longed for it too.
Tang Feiyang felt his body purify from impurities during that event, feeling much more comfortable, and then he sensed his martial strength increased a little.
He also noticed that the students who had followed him to Immortal Venerable City had turned their misfortune into a blessing; their physical conditions improved significantly, no longer the wastrels they were before.
Compared to the group led by Liu Tao, they were much stronger.
Tang Feiyang hoped even more to meet Jiang Tang again someday.
He could refine an elixir specific to their Confucianism Tao clan, one that would enhance their cultivation levels.
Understanding the need for medicinal herbs, which were collected by their martial practitioner clansmen.
Within their heritage, there were records of medicinal drugs and herbs for cultivation, but most of these have been lost to time.
Some herbs had gone extinct, and their methods of creating medicine were inferior to those of the Cultivation world.
Thus, they could only seek out someone capable of alchemy, Jiang Tang – a person who could refine Supreme Elixirs – perhaps he could help them.
When Tang Feiyang was pondering this idea, he had the fortune to meet General Ye, and so he secretly requested if he could pass a message to Ye Tian.
He asked for help in relaying a message, inquiring whether that alchemist could assist their family.
General Ye, knowing that their families had shared trials and tribulations together, felt that this request was not beyond aid – it was simply the passing of a message.
However, whether the Supreme Alchemist could be enlisted to help was beyond his control.
Hearing that General Ye had agreed to help, Tang Feiyang listed some elixirs and herbs not existing in their heritage on a piece of paper.
With that paper in hand, General Ye chose not to transmit the message in front of Tang Feiyang.
Once back at his family’s residence, using a Communication Talisman, he sent the content of the note.
Ye Tian was busy constructing houses for his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he heard the message from his father and said he would ask Jiang Tang when he saw him.
Jiang Tang was busy, he knew.
He didn’t disturb Jiang Tang, simply agreeing to pass on the message.
While working at home, Tang Feiyang waited, day after day, yet no message came.
Feeling embarrassed to bother General Ye with enquiries, he trusted that the message would be conveyed since a promise had been made.
It was possible that the Supreme Alchemist was busy and that Ye Tian was also occupied with duties elsewhere.
Jiang Tang was indeed busy.
He had flown around and planted Moonlight Stones all around the base perimeter, but this was not enough; he needed to form an Array with these stones.
In the process, he had to instill even greater Mana into each array point.
The task could not be completed overnight; he was slow but meticulous in his construction.
It was crucial to prevent any defense loopholes, embedding each array point with his profound Mana, and then creating a central hub for the Array which wasn’t located within the base itself.
The hub was being constructed within the space inside his body, so if anyone invaded, no matter where he was, the central hub within him would sense and control it.
This was also a defensive strategy, in case enemies penetrated the interior and gained control over the Array’s nucleus.
Jiang Tang didn’t think there were no such persons capable of doing this; as the saying goes, “A tall tree catches the wind,” and someday, there would inevitably be a rotten element.
Hadn’t the North City Immortal Sect had its share of scoundrels too?
They were not high-ranking Capable Beings but rather idle Disciples.
Jiang Tang decided that when he took on Disciples, he’d have his subordinates carefully evaluate the character of these individuals.
It was just too bad there was no Mind Reading Technique, nor a lie detector.
And there were no drugs to guarantee unchanging hearts; he only knew that employing people meant trusting them, and that defense measures were aimed only at certain people.
Engaged in such work, Jiang Tang made no distinction between day and night, his array points gleaming like twinkling stars.
Whenever he channeled Mana into them, the Moonlight Stones within the array points shone through, glowing as bright as daylight.
After one or two days, those skilled in crafting Magical Treasures had illuminated all the base surroundings, both roads and mountains, with hundreds of miles of streetlights.
From the pitch darkness when they first arrived, the base now shone day and night with dazzling lights, beautiful, creating an ambiance akin to the Immortal Realm.
The ordinary people who had just arrived worked while absorbing this splendid scene, their spirits extraordinarily lifted.
This was truly a Mortal Realm’s Immortal Paradise; residing in such a place was wondrously beautiful.
The Marquis, seeing the radiant beauty of the base, noted how the talented individuals had begun construction, creating a home more beautiful with each passing day.
Houses and stairways up the mountain were gradually taking form.
The Marquis was all the more eager to bring the Stockade’s people here quickly.
