Chapter 47: Family Unification

Yang Zhan gave an order, and all the Yang family experts, even the elders, looked at Yang Qi.

The family autumn hunt was always extremely dangerous. Although it could bring a large amount of wealth, encountering dangerous magical beasts could also lead to death.

But now, with Yang Qi, this invincible expert, they could probably hunt any demonic beast.

Even a demonic beast at the Ninth Stage of Qi Gong and the Qi Master realm would not be a problem.

"Qi'er, are you planning to lead the family deep into the Black Corpse Mountains to hunt demonic beasts this time?" Yang Zhan knew his son was highly capable and immediately asked.

"Yes, I can." Yang Qi also needed many demonic beast cores. In the future, when he cultivated the "Hell Furnace," he could directly consume them as the essence of life.

In fact, demonic beast cores were themselves a condensation of life essence and Qi Gong. However, humans and demons were different, so they could not merge. Generally, when people obtained demonic beast cores, they would refine them into medicinal pills to neutralize their properties, or after cultivating Qi Gong, they would embed them in divine weapons and tools to make them effective.

Many large sects and academies would regularly purchase demonic beast cores. They had secret methods to utilize the various functions of the cores.

To some extent, demonic beast cores were a kind of hard currency equivalent to Qi Gathering Pills on the continent. So ordinary people could make money by killing demonic beasts and obtaining their cores. Any place would buy this.

"Yang Yang, and you, Yang Tong..." Yang Qi pointed out more than a dozen young talents, all of whom he had just crowned, their powers greatly increased, their Qi Gong cultivation improved, at least reaching the Fifth Stage of Qi Explosion. "The family rules have just been established, but there is a lack of law enforcement. Form a law enforcement team. If anyone in the family does not abide by the rules or the etiquette we just set, punish them severely. Kill some, beat some, and imprison some if necessary. Without rules, there is no order. I will take the position of the chief elder of law enforcement."

The experts of the Yang family felt a chill in their hearts at this scene.

Yang Qi's move was not to be underestimated. By forming a law enforcement team, he pulled the young talents of the family into his boat, further establishing his authority within the family.

"Also, Elder Brother, Second Brother, you will form a Department of Etiquette and a Department of Finance to manage etiquette and finances, responsible for all the rituals and finances of the family." Yang Qi continued to point and direct. He had defeated Yang Xiongshi and Lady Yan, and despite his junior status, he had become the first person in the family. Under the strong martial power, no one dared to question or disobey.

The example of Yang Shi was still there; who dared to speak out?

"Once a disciple of our Yang family violates etiquette or the family rules, you will be responsible for judging and deciding the punishment. The final decision will be made by Father. Then, our law enforcement team will arrest and punish them. Also, the finances of all branches will be unified under the control of the family head, and the command of all troops will be returned to the main family. These matters need to be carefully planned by Father."

The entire Yang family had dozens of branches, each a small family, with the fewest having a hundred people and the largest having several hundred. The family also had troops and servants, which, when combined, formed a considerable force. If someone monopolized power, they could control the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention, there were one or two hundred elite members of the Yang family at today's autumn hunt gathering, all of whom were high-ranking officials.

Yang Qi's establishment of a law enforcement team, a Department of Etiquette, and a Department of Finance was ruthless. He was directly establishing his authority and ensuring the centralization of power under the family head.

Yang Zhan's eyes shone brightly, feeling that his son had truly grown up. Each suggestion was ruthless and decisive, completely unlike what an eighteen-year-old could do.

"Of course, the establishment of the Department of Etiquette and the Department of Finance is not just about punishment." Yang Qi looked around and saw many family elites bow their heads, daring to be angry but not to speak, knowing that they were submitting to his authority, but deep down, they were not convinced.

Because this move was equivalent to stripping them of their family property. The fact that they did not rebel on the spot was already a good sign.

"I am forming these departments to reward outstanding disciples of the family. This time, which disciple under thirty years old in the Yang family hunts the most demonic beast cores? I will ask Father to lend the Great Thousand Mirror to help him cultivate for a month and personally bestow him with primordial energy. How about that?"

Yang Qi's words stirred up a huge wave.

"What? The Great Thousand Mirror? The treasure of the Chen family?" Even Yang Xiongshi was stunned. Many of the older elders were also excited. They had more knowledge and naturally knew the power of the Great Thousand Mirror. Possessing this mirror could prevent the risk of going astray in cultivation.

In fact, the reason why Qi Gong cultivation progressed slowly was that one had to be extremely cautious, not allowing any deviation. One deviation could ruin a lifetime. Therefore, before cultivating a technique, one had to explore it for years, even a decade, until they were thoroughly familiar with it before they could begin.

Some cruel people would even have living people cultivate first to see if they would go astray. This was the way of the demon path, and if discovered on the Fertile Continent, they would be attacked by all.

It was forbidden to use living people to test Qi Gong cultivation, a rule set by the Holy Ancestor Dynasty and all the academies.

"This is the Great Thousand Mirror, which has always been in my possession." Yang Zhan took out the mirror made of Nine Heavens Divine Jade and slightly shook it, making the eyes of these people go wide.

Some elders sighed, "If we had this mirror earlier, we would have saved so much time in our cultivation."

Immediately, everyone was eager to get the cultivation rights of the Great Thousand Mirror.

"Alright, let's enter the mountains now."

With an order, the elite team of one or two hundred Yang family members entered the depths of the Black Corpse Mountains, leaping through the trees, surpassing apes.

Along the way, some fierce demonic beasts were all killed, and the entire mountain range suffered a great disaster.

Yang Qi coldly floated in the air, looking down at the advancing team. He did not personally kill the demonic beasts but observed the overall situation. Whenever a Yang family disciple encountered a fierce demonic beast, he would suddenly strike, sending a sword qi from a distance to kill it.

This happened dozens of times, and all the experts of the Yang family felt that this person was like a god, high above and unshakable.

"Yang Xiongshi, do you think there's really no way to deal with Yang Qi?" Lady Yan rested on a tree, having just used her dragon-headed cane to kill a demonic beast at the Seventh Stage of Qi Gong. She looked up at Yang Qi, who was floating in the sky as if walking on flat ground, deeply shaken.

Qi Master experts had the ability to run in the sky.

However, someone like Yang Qi, who was so calm and treated the sky as the ground, was something they had never seen before. His true qi was ten, even a hundred times more powerful than theirs.

Moreover, every time Yang Qi struck, he could send his true qi tens of thousands of steps away.

"Watch out, there's an Eighth Stage Qi Gong demonic beast ahead, the Crimson Flame Fire Pig!"

At this moment, the Yang family disciples advancing ahead encountered a fierce demonic beast. This beast was a large pig, several times bigger than a cow, surrounded by flames. With one breath, it could spew a straight line of fire, burning the forest.

The "Crimson Flame Fire Pig" was a rare demonic beast that lived in underground lava, naturally carrying high-temperature flames and could absorb the essence of fire to cultivate fire-attribute true qi.

Several family disciples were burned and forced to retreat, some almost dying in the flames.

At this moment, Yang Qi, standing high in the sky, was about a hundred thousand steps away. He pointed his hand, and a thread of sword qi shot out, reaching the Crimson Flame Fire Pig in an instant and binding it tightly.

"What?"

Yang Xiongshi's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Lady Yan's heart was also twitching.

"Yan Taijun, how far can your true qi reach?" After a long time, Yang Xiongshi asked in a daze.

"With my full strength, I can shoot out eight thousand steps. Beyond that distance, it will dissipate and cannot harm anyone." Lady Yan also replied in a daze.

True qi had a range. Ordinary experts could injure people within a hundred steps, while true strongmen could kill from a thousand steps away. Qi Master experts were even more powerful, surpassing the range of bows and arrows, using true qi to kill people.

However, someone like Yang Qi, who could easily capture a huge Eighth Stage demonic beast from a hundred thousand steps away, was something Yang Xiongshi had never seen or even heard of.

"His realm is just the Eighth Stage of Qi Gong now." Yang Xiongshi's face was a mix of joy and sorrow. "Soon, he will advance to the Ninth Stage. I wonder how powerful he will be?"

"Yes, he is still at the Eighth Stage of Qi Gong..." Lady Yan was also shocked. "If he advances to the Ninth Stage Qi Master, he will be invincible!"

"Now, he is already invincible at the Qi Gong realm." Yang Xiongshi said bitterly. "If he advances further, even experts at the Life Seizing realm may not be able to stop him. Is this good or bad?"

"By reorganizing the family like this, he has made us lose our status in the elder council. He has the ambition of a wolf!" Lady Yan's voice was lower, using the secret sound transmission technique. "This person and his mother are both demons. They will eventually bring disaster to our family."

"Hmph! Bring disaster to the family! Ambition of a wolf."

Suddenly, a voice thundered in her ear, and extremely powerful true qi surged into Lady Yan's body, making her spit out another mouthful of blood.

High in the sky, Yang Qi's gaze fell on her. "Lady Yan, I know you are still不服气 (unconvinced), but your every move is under my control."

Yang Qi had heard the secret sound transmission and simultaneously transformed his Qi Gong into sound, striking down. The surrounding disciples did not hear it, only Yang Xiongshi and Lady Yan heard it, like a thunderclap, making their ears ring.

"Now, during the family hunt, I will not do anything to you. If you still try to disrupt family unity, I will have the law enforcement team take you down according to the rules when we return."
