Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1411: Chapter 895: An Unexpected Enemy

Yang Zhenshan fell into deep thought.

Should he join the Ten Thousand Treasures Store?

It seemed possible to join the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store was an extremely vast trading company, its businesses spread across numerous Immortal Cultivator settlements in the Wanhua Western Region. You could even spot the presence of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store in many places within the Wanhua Mountain Range.

And the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store was immensely formidable. It was said that behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Store was a Major Sect from the Wanhua Central Domain. Which specific sect it was, there was no accurate information within the White Cloud Immortal City.

However, the White Cloud True Monarch probably knew.

From the fact that a store as large as the Ten Thousand Treasures Store existed in the White Cloud Immortal City, one could deduce the attitude of the White Cloud True Monarch towards the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, the powers behind them should be far above the White Cloud Immortal City.

As the saying goes, it’s good to take refuge under a big tree!

Yang Zhenshan didn’t mind taking refuge in a powerful force. He had served as a subject in Da Rong, had been a Guest Elder in the Illusion Moon Sect, and now joining the Ten Thousand Treasures Store as a Guest Elder was also an option.

However, he did not agree immediately but said, "I need to think about this matter carefully!"

"Of course, this is the rule and treatment of our Ten Thousand Treasures Store. Fellow Daoist can have a look first." Zhongli Xiayi handed over a Jade Scroll to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan put away the Jade Scroll and got up to take his leave.

Zhongli Xiayi personally escorted him out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

Upon leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, Yang Zhenshan saw it was still early and started strolling down the street.

There were many shops in the White Cloud Immortal City, and there were no fixed workshops. Every street was lined with numerous shops.

There were countless shops of various sizes, offering a wide range of goods.

Yang Zhenshan saw many peculiar shops, such as music workshops that specialized in musical instruments. Naturally, the musical instruments sold in these workshops were not ordinary but were sound Taoist Skills and Magical Treasures.

There were also shops selling spirit insects; Yang Zhenshan went in to take a look and found hundreds of types of spirit insects.

He strolled around leisurely, taking the opportunity to buy quite a few things.

However, just as he was about to return to his cave dwelling, his expression shifted slightly, and his Spiritual Sense discreetly swept behind him.

A cultivator who looked very ordinary caught his attention.

On the street, there were many cultivators coming and going. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t pay attention to an ordinary cultivator, but this person seemed to have been seen many times, as if he had been following him constantly.

"Strange, being targeted again? When did they start targeting me? Was it when I left the Ten Thousand Treasures Store?"

Yang Zhenshan recalled for a moment and found that this person had been targeting him for a while, seemingly before he entered the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

Not because of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store?

Then what for?

Yang Zhenshan was a bit puzzled.

He had just arrived at the White Cloud Immortal City and had no grudges there, so why was he suddenly being targeted?

Could it be because of Yun Xiao?

Yang Zhenshan continued strolling down the street, confirming that this person was indeed tracking him.

"I want to see who is tracking me."

Then, he directly returned to his rented cave dwelling, allowing that person to follow, not alarming them.

However, after he returned to the cave dwelling, he hid himself within it, silently watching the person outside the sect gate.

That person only had the cultivation of the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, a cultivation level that was too common in the White Cloud Immortal City, making it hard to draw attention from others.

In the White Cloud Immortal City, employing Qi Refining Cultivators to track someone was much more convenient than using Foundation Establishment Cultivators, since the streets were full of Qi Refining Cultivators.

That person, seeing Yang Zhenshan enter the cave dwelling, did not leave but disguised as a passerby, circled around outside the dwelling several times.

"What’s going on?"

Yun Xiao, seeing Yang Zhenshan standing at the doorway of the dwelling and not coming in, came out to ask.

"Went out once, brought back a tail!" Yang Zhenshan gestured with his chin and said, "Don’t startle them!"

Yun Xiao slightly furrowed his brows, and his Spiritual Sense subtly swept outside the dwelling, soon discovering the cultivator as well.

This was Spring and Summer Square, not a bustling street. Though the square had many residents and tenants, the alleyways were usually quiet.

This person wandering back and forth in the alley was clearly suspicious.

"Can you tell who it is?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"I can’t tell!" Yun Xiao slightly shook his head.

"Not your enemy?"

Yun Xiao lightly stroked his beard, shaking his head slightly, "Impossible. I also have no enemies in the White Cloud Immortal City. If I did have enemies, there would only be one barely considered; but this time coming to the White Cloud Immortal City, he shouldn’t know."

Yang Zhenshan nodded, not doubting the truth of Yun Xiao’s words.

Yun Xiao was not someone who liked to provoke trouble. His character was very steady, probably because the Xuanqing Sect did not value Immortal Cultivators, he always acted low-key and amiable, rarely having conflicts with others.

The two of them watched the person outside. Seeing that Yang Zhenshan hadn’t left the dwelling for a long time, the person seemed to confirm this was Yang Zhenshan’s residence and then left.

"I’ll follow and take a look!"

Yang Zhenshan’s features subtly changed, transforming into a young man in his twenties. Even his vestment robe turned grey-white.

His aura was suppressed to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer level, just like that person’s, appearing as an ordinary Qi Refining Period cultivator.

This ability to change appearances was a new skill Yang Zhenshan gained after cultivating the Devouring Spirit Body.

The essence of it was to control the transformation of the body’s flesh, enabling muscles to become robust or skin to become smooth.

It could alter one’s appearance and physique.

Then, he followed behind that Qi Refining cultivator.

When it came to tracking skills, Yang Zhenshan was not lacking. He didn’t even need to keep his eyes on the person, only needing his Spiritual Sense to lock onto him.
