2016 Deal With it Here! The Holy Lady’s words were indeed effective. Yang Sijie hurriedly raised his hand to halt Yang Jiu before he smiled apologetically and said, “Holy Lady, what are you talking about? How could we break our contract with you? The Sacred Wood Mystic Realm will go on opening as per usual.” The Yang family had just eliminated the Su and Bai families. Because of the help sent by the Truth Association, the Yang family did not suffer many losses past the initial stage. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 Without the Su and Bai families, Yang Sijie was not happy in the slightest. This was because, by accepting the Truth Association’s help, they were now indebted to them. He did not know what his parents were thinking. The Truth Association came from the Great Lush Federation, and the Yang family controlled the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. Yet, they had submitted to a group from the Great Lush Federation. If word of this got out, how could the Yang family still bring themselves to continue lording over the other factions in the Divine Wood Federation? Moreover, the Truth Association clearly had a serious ploy that they were trying to orchestrate. All of the law crystals and World Crystals had been taken by the Truth Association many years ago. This had cut off the Yang family’s experts’ means of increasing their power and development. Without Class 5 Creation Masters, they could only rely on things that contained laws, such as law crystals and World Crystals, to increase their power. But after the Truth Association had taken all of them away, they would be strengthened while the Yang family’s development would stop in its tracks. After killing the Su and Bai families’ experts, the Truth Association also requested the law crystals and World Crystals that were stored in the two families’ treasure vaults. It could be said that the Truth Association had only helped the Yang family to obtain these resources. This made Yang Sijie feel that the Truth Association was playing a complicated game of chess. If they were really so greatly lacking in law crystals and World Crystals, they could obtain them from the feys of their thearch- and emperor-class experts. When he thought of this, Yang Sijie felt a twinge of fear, as though he was being treated like prey. Moreover, from the perspective of the Divine Wood Federation’s development, eliminating the Su and Bai families would take away from their elite combat power. In such a circumstance, when the Divine Wood Federation fought against the Iron Hammer Federation, they would not have enough power to emerge victorious. Because the Great Lush Federation had killed the bandit groups in masses and restricted the movements of the chambers of commerce, the Iron Hammer Federation was in a state of extreme hunger. During the winter, the starving Iron Hammer Federation could do anything. After losing so many experts, the Divine Wood Federation was helpless against the Iron Hammer Federation. Moreover, after eliminating the Su and Bai families, the members of the Truth Association expressed the desire to leave. The more Yang Sijie thought about it, the more he felt that the Great Lush Federation was playing a large game of chess. First, they caused the Iron Hammer Federation to fall into starvation. Then, they reduced the Divine Wood Federation’s elite combat power. It was as though it was trying to trigger a war between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation. Nonetheless, these were all just Yang Sijie’s guesses. Usually, when he made such guesses, Yang Sijie would immediately discuss them with his father. But now, his father seemed to have become a follower of the Truth Association. Thus, Yang Sijie no longer dared to tell his father about such guesses about the schemes that the Truth Association could be planning. As one of the Yang family’s direct disciples, all of Yang Sijie’s actions were done while placing the Yang family’s profits as the highest priority. Compared to the Great Lush Federation and Truth Association, the Holy Lady who had been in Sacred Forest City for decades was much more deserving of trust. No matter what happened, Yang Sijie would not choose to offend the Holy Lady. Yang Sijie even wanted to discuss with the Holy Lady about giving all the seats on the council to the Yang family now that the Su and Bai families were gone. After all, they did not lack the Creation Master resources they needed to provide to the Holy Lady. However, there were still members of the Su and Bai families present. The members of the Su and Bai families on the outside had all been killed. There was no way that the Yang family would mercifully leave any survivors. With this thought, Yang Sijie continued speaking. “Holy Lady, the experts from the Su and Bai families sieged the imperial court for some reason. The Yang family thought their goal was to prevent the opening of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, so we killed all invading experts. “Now, we have to take all the members of the Su and Bai families who had entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm away with us. I hope you can understand! Furthermore, I have something to discuss with you. Will you come and have the discussion with me in the imperial court?” The Holy Lady thought, Thankfully, Lordess Begin Lady hid the entrance to the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm every time it closed. As a result, Yang Sijie hasn’t noticed that the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm has been ripped apart. The strange events in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm had not been seen clearly by the members of the Divine Wood Federation’s factions because they had been too far away, but they had still noticed what had happened. As such, it would not take long before everything that happened in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm spread throughout the factions in the Divine Wood Federation. At that time, the Yang family would definitely find out as well. The Holy Lady could hint the next time the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm opened to the Yang family and offer all of the treasures within to the Yang family. This way, she could take advantage of the Yang family’s weakness to rob them blind. Since Begin Lady had instructed the Holy Lady to stay in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court to gather information, she could continue playing along with Yang Sijie. Hehe, Yang Sijie sure is shameless! The factions under his family are a mess, but he’s still trying to act innocent in front of me. “Since you claim that the Su and Bai families’ experts are targeting the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, you don’t have to take them away. Deal with them here. This will send the message that there will be no good end for anyone who tries to target the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.” While she spoke, the Holy Lady turned her hand over. The members of the Su and Bai families were feeling a mix of astonishment and despair when they saw green leaves enter their bodies. Soon, an unexplainable agony erupted from within their bodies. However, the green peach tree leaves had the effect of maintaining consciousness. No matter how much pain they were in, they could not fall unconscious. All they could do was watch as green branches sprouted from their flesh, and their bodies were reduced to bones as their spiritual power and souls disintegrated. The Holy Lady’s method and Yang Sijie’s news immediately stirred up the crowd. Ding Chengshuo was currently next to Lin Yuan. ... Although he did not know what had happened while he was stored within Lin Yuan’s spatial instrument, he was not concerned in the slightest. The members of the Su and Bai families who had entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm usually always had their noses in the air. But now, they did not have any means of fighting back. This sight only cemented Ding Chengshuo’s belief that he could only walk toward a bright future when he was by Lin Yuan’s side.
