To put it bluntly, it was all because of "benefits."
That year, when the Yang family was still strong, they could transport a lot of cultivating materials to the Sea Tribes, which benefited the entire Sea Tribes.
Because of this reason, even in Barren City on the seabed, the Sea Tribes had unanimously protected the Yang family, making the Yang family the real leader of Barren City.
Now that the Yang family had declined, they could no longer provide more help to the Sea Tribes. Thus, the Sea Tribes naturally no longer protected the Yang family.
Not only that, because they knew that the Yang family had transferred a lot of materials to Barren City, they were greedy and didn't care about their old relationship. However, they didn't dare to directly take the Yang family's materials. Thus, they left the human warriors in Barren City alone or secretly encouraged them to support the human warriors who disobeyed the Yang family.
Shi Yan's mind was as clear as snow. After thinking for a while, he understood the relationship between benefits and benefits.
"How many Sea Tribes don't trust the Yang family anymore? How many Sea Tribes are neutral? How many Sea Tribes want to occupy our Yang family's materials? "After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked.
Fei Ya smiled faintly and shook her head. "You have to observe it yourself. After all, I'm also a member of the Sea Tribes. It's impossible for me to help an outsider like you. I can only say that our Naga Tribe didn't want to hit them when they were down. Our patriarch even wanted to stop them, but he was outnumbered. Eventually, he could only stay neutral and not help either side. "
"It's not bad that you can stay neutral." Shi Yan nodded, but his attitude was not friendly. "It seems that no matter where it is, there will always be short-sighted villains. This time, I've come to Barren City, of course, to reorganize the Yang family's order and make some people settle down."
The six Nagas were stunned for a moment, looking at him with a strange face. They didn't seem to be optimistic about him.
"Although you have the Sky Realm cultivation base, it's not realistic to rely on you alone to restore the Yang family's prestige in Barren City."
Fei Ya didn't say it directly. She just beamed a faint smile and said, "There are several Sky of Sky Realm warriors in Barren City who are disloyal to the Yang family. Among them, there are even Third Sky of Sky Realm warriors. It's not realistic to make them behave, let alone our Sea Tribes."
"Just wait and see," Shi Yan said coldly, his tone unyielding.
The faces of the six people of Fei Ya's group froze, revealing a mocking look as if they didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Apparently, they didn't think that Shi Yan had this ability.
Shi Yan didn't say anything more. He frowned and fell silent. His eyes were cold and his lips curved into a cold and cruel smile.
…
Undersea City.
This was an underwater city shrouded in a vast Water Barrier. It was very humid and had a large number of human warriors living in it.
This city was about the same size as the Merchant Union. It was divided into five districts: North, South, East, West, and Central. Inside Barren City, the buildings were all made of hard stones. There were also many buildings made of coral. The colorful coral buildings were very beautiful, emitting a charming light.
The barrier above Desolate City shone brightly all year round. Even though Desolate City had no sun, moon, or stars, it was still very bright. It did not seem dark at all.
There were five districts in the north, south, east, west, and center. Each district had a large number of human warriors. In each district, there were shops, and all kinds of stalls were set up on the streets, selling a dazzling array of cultivation materials. There were jades, elixirs, ancient books, secret treasures, and everything else that one could think of.
Many people of the Sea Tribes were also active in Barren City. They brought a lot of cultivating materials from the seabed to Barren City to sell or exchange for valuable cultivating materials from human warriors.
This was a huge trading place made up of many races.
Previously, the Yang family maintained the order in each district of this ancient city. Any human warrior who came to Barren City to sell materials needed to get permission from the Yang family and pay a certain fee on time.
The Sea Tribes didn't have this restriction.
Any member of the Sea Tribes could move freely in Barren City without paying any fee to the Yang family.
The Yang family had a huge group of buildings in the central district, which were all built with all kinds of shiny coral stones. Not only were they extremely hard, but they were also very beautiful and majestic. It showed how high the Yang family's position in Barren City was.
In the Yang family's group of buildings, there used to be many trading places, which had all kinds of cultivating materials that couldn't be found on the seabed. They were specially provided for the powerful Sea Tribes to choose.
All the big deals were done there.
If the warriors of the Sea Tribes needed some special cultivating materials, as long as they paid a sufficient deposit, the Yang family would be responsible for searching on the sea surface. They would find the materials for the Sea Tribes and obtain the equivalent cultivating materials from them.
Through this kind of trade, the Yang Family had obtained many rare treasures from the bottom of the sea. Once those treasures came to the Kyara Sea, they would be distributed through the Yang Family's channels and sold to the Cao Family, the Martial Spirit Palace, the Evil Wonderland, and other super forces.
The reason why the Yang family could become the most powerful force in the Endless Sea was related to the Barren City, which was a wonderful trading place. The Sea Tribes trusted the Yang family, treating them as the middleman to the Endless Sea. Recently, they had been living in harmony with the Yang family, maintaining the Yang family's transcendent position in Barren City. They also recognized the Yang family's management of human warriors in Barren City.
This situation continued until Yang Tian Emperor fell into the Demon King's confinement. Then, it gradually changed.
…
The center of Barren City.
In the Yang family's group of buildings.
Within the beautiful coral buildings, the former trading area had long since been emptied. There were few people here, and there were no longer any seafolk that came here in search of unique cultivation materials.
After the Yang family had left the Kyara Sea, those trading places had been closed. The Yang family didn't have a lot of cultivating materials to sell, and they didn't continue to buy treasures from the seabed from the Sea Tribes.
People of the Yang family had been living in seclusion in that group of buildings. They rarely came out, as if they had quieted down.
After one year, the human warriors who were supposed to come here to pay the fees on time didn't come anymore. They just found excuses, saying that they didn't have any crystal stones, so they asked the Yang family to give them more time.
At first, the Yang family's attitude was tough, and they had even taken heavy measures. However, after a period of time, the Yang family didn't get the upper hand after several battles. Quite the contrary, they suffered a big loss.
Gradually, the Yang family didn't care about the human warriors who didn't pay the fees.
Thus, more human warriors started to ignore the Yang family's leading position, and didn't pay the fees anymore.
Over time, the strong forces who didn't pay the fees started to probe the Yang family. They even coveted the cultivating materials stored in the Yang family's group of buildings. They started to find excuses to provoke the Yang family, saying that the materials they had sold to the Yang family were too expensive, and that the Yang family had given them too little compensation.
A group of people started to force the Yang family to compensate them with crystals.
…
Inside a massive cellar …
Inside the cellar, there were all kinds of cultivating materials. There were rare ores, rare spirit herbs from the seabed, all kinds of medicinal pellets, and even some rare treasures in the Endless Sea.
These cultivating materials took up one-tenth of the storage on the Immortal Island. When the Yang family moved to the Immortal Island, they were sent to Barren City through the Teleport Formation.
In the cellar, a group of Yang family warriors were counting these materials with solemn faces, talking with each other with worried faces.
Yang Mu, Yang Zhou, Yang Xue, Yang Ke, Yang Meng, and Li Fenger were all there.
The young people of the Yang family's fourth generation were looking at the huge amount of cultivating materials in the cellar, secretly worrying about the transportation of these materials.
Yang Zhuo, Yang Mu's father, had the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm cultivation base. At this time, he was the elder of this group, and also the warrior with the highest realm. Looking at the materials on the ground, he was also worried, shaking his head and sighing.
"Father, these materials must be sent out as soon as possible. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that they won't belong to the Yang family anymore." Yang Mu said with a cold face, "Many people in Barren City are staring at these materials. They are ready to take action, and their patience is getting less and less. I'm afraid that if we wait any longer, they will directly attack us."
"Father, although we haven't received any news from the Xia family's people yet, we have to prepare in advance." Yang Zhou also sighed. "If the Xia family's people can come earlier, perhaps they can make those guys restrain themselves. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that we can't wait until the Xia family's people come. Sigh, if only Grandpa Mo or Grandpa Li were here, we wouldn't be so passive."
Mo Duanhun and Li Mu were the three Shura Kings' wills. They had the Sky Realm cultivation base, and were bloodthirsty. In the Endless Sea and Barren City, many people respected them.
Unfortunately, the two Shura Kings had entered the Fourth Demon Area, and there was no news from them.
"Grandpa has sent the hotshots to the Fourth Demon Area for the family's future. It's for the future of the family. We have to endure this humiliation for the time being. As long as we wait for the right time, we can make the Yang family step into the sea again. At that time, we can suppress everyone and become the real leader of the Endless Sea!"
Yang Zhuo said coldly with a calm face.
"Great Grandpa is in the Demon Area. Is it true that nothing unexpected will happen?" Yang Mu forced a smile.
"Never doubt your Great Grandpa!" Yang Zhuo harrumphed. "Your Great Grandpa has been waiting for a chance for so many years. He wants the Demon Dwellers and the Dark Dwellers to invade the Endless Sea. He wants the Yang family to stay dormant and not participate in the war. He wants to preserve the family's overall strength. At the critical time, he will show up and establish the great cause! Right now, the Yang family is temporarily dormant. Your Great Grandpa has already predicted that as long as we persist, we will see the day when the Yang family overrides all the other forces. "
"But I'm afraid that we can't protect these materials." Yang Mu gently shook his head. "I'm afraid that we can't endure for a long time."
"As long as we can endure for one day, we will endure for one day!" Yang Zhuo contemplated for a while. His eyes were complicated. "That year, your Great Grandpa said that at the most difficult time, there will be a turning point. He asked us to be patient and not panic."
"Turning point?" Yang Mu and Yang Xue were surprised.
"Yes." Yang Zhuo didn't seem to be sure. He said with a strange face, "When your Great Grandpa used the Immortal Blood to predict Shi Yan's future, he said that Shi Yan would provide great help to the Yang family in the future. He said that Shi Yan would enter the Barren City on the seabed. He asked us to wait for him at the most difficult time."
Everybody was stunned.
