Chapter 1021: Relocating to Longyue City! No Special Treatment! They Must Be Scattered!

~7 min read 1,327 words

That beast god was ugly, sure, but its strength was quite impressive!

The only question was when the Huaxia Federation planned to launch a full-scale assault on the Shoushen Sect.

In any case, Su Yang did not believe the Huaxia Federation could tolerate the Shoushen Sect.

What he had to do now was raise his strength as quickly as possible; when the full-scale assault was launched, the Huaxia Federation might just remember him.

Su Yang patted Mo Yi's little head and said: "Two Heishan boars are enough. Catch one large defensive-type pet beast, then add a few of other types. If we're lucky, finding some small-bodied but powerful fierce beasts would be great too!"

"Got it!"

"Then let's keep going!"

While Su Yang was out training hard, the Tianxing Society had already infiltrated Mount Dajiao City.

Relying on a lockdown to prevent Tianxing Society members from sneaking into Mount Dajiao City was almost impossible.

Unless Su Yang simply shut the city gates and sealed Mount Dajiao City completely.

That wasn't very realistic.

In the basement of an ordinary inn, two Tianxing Society members who had just infiltrated Mount Dajiao City were talking with the innkeeper.

This time, neither of the two Tianxing Society members was particularly strong.

But they could absolutely be called experienced.

One was a Platinum Low-Grade middle-aged beast-tamer named Geng Yan.

Geng Yan had long been engaged in intelligence work; his insight was astonishing, and he was skilled at reading the enemy's mind.

Historically, he had once recruited nearly a hundred beast-tamers into the Tianxing Society.

Thirteen years ago, he had even drawn a young genius who had won first place at the Southeastern Youth Beast-Tamer Biwu Assembly into the Tianxing Society.

Within the Tianxing Society, Geng Yan also bore the title of life mentor!

The other was a Gold-level beast-tamer, Shu Wenkang, who was mainly there as Geng Yan's assistant for the operation.

"What orders does Helmsman Lin have, I wonder!"

"Coming to Mount Dajiao City this time, there are mainly two missions!" Geng Yan said directly: "First, we need to find Zhou Xue and her son, and seize the chance to kill them. Zhou Xue and her son may have changed their appearance, but they are mother and son after all, so they should be relatively easy to find."

The innkeeper asked doubtfully: "Zhou Xue and her son… is that the Zhou Xue and her son I'm thinking of?"

This innkeeper vaguely remembered that their helmsman seemed to have a wife named Zhou Xue by his side.

He hadn't known it originally, but he had heard that Zhou Xue's son had been greatly favored by the helmsman back then!

"It's exactly the Zhou Xue and her son you're imagining!" Geng Yan said in a low voice. "Zhou Xue's son did not awaken beast-tamer talent. According to convention, that child needed to be disposed of, but Zhou Xue actually went against our Tianxing Society's principles, took that child and left, defecting from the Tianxing Society on her own. The Helmsman was extremely furious. Traitors must die!"

The innkeeper bowed and said: "Understood!"

"There's one more thing, also the Helmsman's order!"

Geng Yan's tone grew serious.

"Please give your instructions, my lord!"

"Regarding that Sovereign Jiazi, how much do you know?"

"You mean Su Yang's adjutant, my lord?"

"Correct!"

"Not much. She hasn't been in Mount Dajiao City long either. I only know that Su Yang trusts her greatly."

Geng Yan said with a headache: "The most important mission for me coming here this time is to figure out a way to persuade Sovereign Jiazi to join our Tianxing Society!"

Geng Yan naturally had a headache—any scheme involving Su Yang would give anyone a headache.

Who didn't know the origin of the nickname "Su Gou"?

Anyone targeted by Su Yang almost never escaped.

The innkeeper said helplessly: "That's no easy task. Su Yang is not someone to be trifled with. Ever since Su Yang came to Mount Dajiao City, I've been living in fear every day!"

"Indeed it's not easy, but it's not that we have no chance!" Geng Yan said. "First, investigate Zhou and her son. As for how to approach Sovereign Jiazi, we need to take our time and plan carefully. After all, the danger level is still very high!"

The danger level was certainly high—Sovereign Jiazi was a King-level powerhouse now.

If they failed, they simply couldn't escape!

Geng Yan also knew that the Tianxing Society planned to look for opportunities to make a move against Sovereign Jiazi's subordinates and family. The success or failure of this matter directly affected their success rate.

Until news arrived from that side, he planned to investigate carefully first and not approach Sovereign Jiazi rashly.

In the evening, Su Yang had just returned when he heard Sovereign Jiazi mention that the Southeastern Military Headquarters had already issued an order for her subordinates and family to relocate to Longyue City.

"Longyue City isn't near the coast, so it should be decent, right?"

Su Yang only roughly knew Longyue City's location.

When Su Yang had consulted Sovereign Jiazi earlier, she had said that her subordinates and family preferred to live in areas closer to the interior. Longyue City's geographical position should satisfy Sovereign Jiazi's requirements.

In fact, Sovereign Jiazi's request also perfectly suited the Southeastern Military Headquarters' wishes.

They didn't want to place the Daoguozhe Gang in coastal cities either.

"Not bad!" Sovereign Jiazi nodded. "It's just that the journey is a bit far; the relocation might take some time."

"Wasn't that your people's request?"

"Mm!"

Su Yang said: "Don't worry! For the relocation, they'll probably send a Worm Train to pick them up—the treatment is already quite good. I remember that Danmu Baihui of yours is also a King-level powerhouse, right? With her escorting, the problem is already not big!"

"The Southeastern Military Headquarters' intention is that when the time comes, they seem to want to scatter them throughout Longyue City. I'm afraid they won't speak the language and communication problems will arise…" Sovereign Jiazi asked softly, "General Su, could you discuss it with General Qian and let my subordinates and family gather together? They'd be able to look after one another."

"That's impossible!"

Su Yang refused cleanly and decisively.

"Why?"

"If your people gather together, they'll form a faction, and that will only delay the process of truly joining the Federation. Understand?"

Sovereign Jiazi fell silent.

"Scatter them. They're only uncomfortable at first, but it will help a great deal in integrating them locally!" Su Yang said seriously. "General Qian and I both don't want them to keep remembering they're island-nation people, don't want them to keep speaking the island-nation language, and don't want them to keep following island-nation customs!"

Why did Su Yang take in those few thousand people?

Wasn't it because these island-nation people, if casually dropped into any city of the Huaxia Federation, would be assimilated clean within three generations.

"They're outsiders after all. If they're stubborn and refuse to blend with the locals, they can be ostracized by the locals!" Su Yang said with a smile. "If a real conflict broke out, who do you think the local Chengzhu Society would side with? Who do you think I would side with?"

Sovereign Jiazi put on a pitiful look and said: "Can't you help us?"

"You're dreaming!"

"General, is your heart made of iron?"

"Whether it's iron or not, I don't know, and I haven't seen it either!" Su Yang said lightly. "I'm just telling you the facts. The facts are this cruel. Giving them some precious land, a residence within the city, letting some of your subordinates join the City Guard system — that's already very generous treatment. Beyond that, there's nothing else."

Sovereign Jiazi looked at Liu Mengyun, hoping Liu Mengyun would put in a word for her. Liu Mengyun lowered her head and shoveled rice into her mouth, saying nothing.

Whatever Su Yang wanted to do, she supported it.
