Hundreds of members of the Yang family and the Shi family were listening to Shi Yan's speech by the lake.
The Yangs and the Shi family had approved Shi Yan from the bottom of their hearts, especially the Shi family members from the Quiet Cloud. They supported him unconditionally, taking his words as the truth.
They all knew that without Shi Yan, they couldn't have come to the Endless Sea or the Divine Great Land. They could imagine that if they were still in the Quiet Cloud, they would have been killed a long time ago.
They had seen how Shi Yan had grown up. They had seen him break through in just ten years from a kid without Essence Qi to a height that they could only look up to.
In their eyes, no doubt, Shi Yan was a living God. His future was immeasurable, and his future would be even brighter.
Instinctively, they thought that as long as they stayed with Shi Yan, they could have a good future.
However, many warriors who had submitted to the Yang family didn't agree with him. Especially the hotshots who had been fighting in the Fourth Demon Area, in their eyes, only Yang Tian Emperor was their master.
After they had come to the Divine Great Land, these warriors who worshipped the strong had even disdained Yang Tian Emperor.
If the Yang family hadn't given them a favor, they would have left already. They wouldn't have stayed until now.
"Great Grandpa, I think many people want to go to the Secret Domain. They want to stay with the seven ancient factions. Anyway, it's much safer there. The seven ancient factions are willing to accept them."
ShiYan's face was cold. He looked around and said neither fast nor slow, "Many of them are here because the Yang family and the Shi family have taken care of them. That's why they are here. However, although they stayed, their hearts aren't here. I think it's better if they don't stay here. It's better to go to the Secret Domain like the others to save their lives. They don't want to stay with us to endure the disaster. "
"Kid, what do you mean?" A consecrator of the Yang family at the Second Sky of Sky Realm, with an ash-gray beard and a long green robe, said with a cold voice, "Do we need you to sneer at us wherever we are?"
"Who are you?" Shi Yan frowned.
"The head of the Yang Clan's Five Yakshas, Shen Ao." The old man snorted, slightly raised his head, and said, "We, the Five Yakshas, have always been fighting in the Demon Area. Before you came to the Endless Sea, we were already in the Fourth Demon Area. Although we are not the most qualified elders of the Yang Family, our contributions to the Yang Family are not something you can casually scold. "
Shi Yan's expression didn't change. He remained cold and indifferent as he nodded. "It's an honor to meet you at last. The five great Yakshas are indeed like thunder in my ears."
He knew that besides the three Asura Kings, there were only the five Yakshas amongst the experts of the Yang Clan.
The Five Yakshas weren't active in the Endless Sea. Quite the contrary, they were famous in the Fourth Demon Area. Many members of the Demon Tribes in the Fourth Demon Area were terrified of the Five Yakshas, saying that they were the butchers of the Human Clan.
Shen Lin was the leader of the Five Yakshas, with the Second Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base. In the Yang family, he was considered a character with a high position. Even Yang Tian Emperor valued him a lot.
"What are you shouting for? No matter what decision the Master has, we will follow him. But you, a kid who still smells of your mother's milk, want to show off here. Do you think you deserve it? "
Shen Lin harrumphed, ignoring Shi Yan's compliment. "Whatever decision we make, it has nothing to do with you. Kid, don't think that just because you're related to the two pagans, you can order us around. Harrumph, if it weren't for the Master's face, I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson. "
Shen Lin had been in the Fourth Demon Area for many years, so he didn't know much about ShiYan. Although he had heard about ShiYan's deeds in the Endless Sea, Shen Lin had always thought that ShiYan's realm was exaggerated and that it was just a rumor.
In the eyes of the current Shi Yan, a Second Sky of Sky Realm warrior could be killed with just a wave of his hand. He didn't care about him at all.
However, he didn't take action. He knew that if he took action, it would make people disappointed, and it wouldn't solve the problem.
Although Shen Lin's words weren't pleasant to hear, they were the thoughts of many hotshots of the Yang Family. If he killed Shen Lin, the hotshots who had submitted to the Yang Family would be disheartened.
The ones who had always considered the Yang Family would have other thoughts. Even Yang Tian Emperor wouldn't have a good ending.
"It's true that I'm not qualified to say much. I just want to say that no one can predict the current situation of the Divine Great Land. It's not that the seven ancient factions can protect the flame of inheritance of the Human Clan." Shi Yan smiled calmly.
"Of course, if someone thinks that the Yang Family can't protect them, and that they aren't as strong as the seven ancient factions, it's better to leave early. Staying here and worrying every day will hinder their cultivation base. Great Grandpa, I think you won't stop people from finding a better way out, will you? "Shi Yan lifted his head, looking at Yang Tian Emperor by the lake.
Yang Tian Emperor cracked a smile, talking slowly. "I've told you that I won't stop your future. If you think that I, Yang Tian Emperor, can leave at any time."
"Master, the Yang Family has helped us a lot. When the Yang Family is in trouble, we will never leave!" Shen Lin slightly bent his body, his face sincere.
"The Yang Family has taken care of us for a long time in the Endless Sea. We're the Yang Family's members. It's the same in the Divine Great Land."
"We swear to follow the Master until we die!"
"As long as the Yang Family doesn't kick us out, we will never leave!"
Many warriors who had submitted to the Yang Family outside the lake echoed the Yang Family. They stretched their necks and shouted. However, no one knew how many of them were sincere.
Yang Tian Emperor smiled faintly, waving his hand to signal people to calm down. Then, his eyes looked at Shi Yan with deep meaning. "Little Yan, don't talk too much. You've just arrived, so you don't know the situation. Come here, we should talk."
"Harrumph, what a strange kid. You don't know anything, but you dare to talk nonsense." Shen Lin darkened his face, coldly looking at Shi Yan.
Shi Yan frowned. A cold saber-like beam of light shot out from the corner of his mouth. He nodded faintly, but didn't say anything else.
As he had heard Yang Tian Emperor's soul thought, he knew that the situation here wasn't the same as what he had thought.
Shi Yan had to put aside his original plan. Crossing the lake, he walked to the stone tower where Yang Tian Emperor was staying. Shi Jian and Shi Tie walked with Yang Hai, their faces happy. Yang Zhuo and the other direct descendants of the Yang Family also came forward.
Shen Lin looked at them in silence, his eyes dark and gloomy. He exchanged looks with the other Sky Realm warriors. They seemed to have another plan.
"It's not the same as what you've thought." Sitting down in the stone tower, waiting for Shi Yan, Shi Jian, Shi Tie, Yang Hai, Yang Zhuo, and Yang Mu to greet each other, Yang Tian Emperor lowered his voice. "We have two thousand people here, but at least half of them want to leave. Among these people, some of them are hesitant because they have received the Yang Family's favor. They don't want to leave. However, some of them don't think so. It's not that they don't want to leave. They have other plans … "
"Oh?" Shi Yan's visage slightly changed.
"Some of them want to join the seven ancient factions. They know that their forces aren't strong enough, so they want to set a high starting point for themselves. Thus, they want to bring more people to the seven ancient factions. Perhaps, they have already joined us. The reason why they haven't left yet is that they want to recruit more people. Perhaps, they want to get more information from us. "Yang Tian Emperor smiled, but his eyes were as cold as a saber.
Shi Yan suddenly became cheerful.
The Divine Great Land had suffered a big calamity, and many ancient factions had to bear a big loss. Too many Disaster, Nirvana, and Sky Realm warriors had died. Their foundation was shaken, and their forces weren't strong enough.
In the Divine Great Land, where martial techniques were abundant, most of the peak warriors of the Human Clan weren't hurt, but the number of low-realm warriors was decreasing.
To the seven ancient factions, they all valued the future. They knew that the low-realm warriors would become the pillars of the sect in the future.
Thus, the seven ancient factions had tried their best to recruit the small forces, using the Secret Domain as an enticement to attract them. They wanted to add fresh blood to their sects.
Because of this reason, when Tang Yuan Nan's Three Gods Sect and Xia Qing Hou's Xia family joined the Radiant God Cult and the Pure Land, they didn't meet any resistance. Quite the contrary, they were favored.
With the current situation, whoever could bring more low-realm warriors to join the seven ancient factions would be welcomed with open arms.
If someone could bring the elite disciples of the Yang family to join the seven ancient factions, the seven ancient factions would regard them as important figures. They would think that they could handle affairs well, and that they would be rewarded with high positions.
After thinking for a while, ShiYan suddenly realized that his previous plan had failed.
"Great Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Pondering for a while, he said, "Those with ulterior motives won't get any benefits if they stay here. Moreover, they will shake the Yang family's foundation. Many of them have contributed a lot to the Yang family. If we target them and launch a war against them, it will disappoint the people who are loyal to us. It's a big problem. "
"I have a way to make them leave. But I think it's too risky, so I haven't done it yet." Yang Tian Emperor beamed a faint smile. "We can't kill them immediately. We can only force them to leave first. Then, we will deal with them later. I planned to lure the strong beasts here to make them think that the Yang family will perish. Then, they would leave. If they left under such circumstances, they would never have the face to come back. However, it's too risky. I was hesitant. Anyway, you're back now. "
Shi Yan's eyes brightened. He grinned. "Great Grandpa, you've got a good plan."
Those people had disloyal thoughts. Perhaps they had joined the seven ancient factions already. If they knew that the Yang family would perish, they wouldn't risk their lives to save the Yang family. They would leave quietly.
That way, they didn't need to launch a war, and they wouldn't disappoint the people who were loyal to the Yang family. It was easy to remove the malignant tumor.
However, the premise was that the Yang family had to be confident that they could preserve the power of the family in that perilous situation.
"I've planned it well. As long as you can help me deal with a level 8 demonic beast, it's done," Yang Tian Emperor smiled.
"Don't worry. Even if it's two level 8 beasts, I can make them leave," said Shi Yan.
"Then it's foolproof."
