"Since you say that I'm strong, then do you still think that it is impossible for me to conquer all the families in Martial City?" Yang Song put the teacup down and asked slowly.

Li Wanjing thought for a while before he started, "Master, I'm not sure if you know this, but a lot of families in Martial City are more or less related to each other in one way or another."

​​

Yang Song of course understood this fact, but he did not say anything troublesome, he just said, "I know this. However, so what if they are related to each other? What if they can gather force to retaliate against me together later? Do you think I have no method to defend against them?"

Li Wanjing nodded in understanding and asked further, "Then, Master, what is your plan?"

"But I tell you my plan, since you are a local in Martial City, let me ask you something first. Do you know about the fact that the top families in Martial City have connections with the seven Grandmasters?"

This was what Yang Song was most worried about. Since he wanted to conquer all families in Martial City, it meant that those top families were excluded either.

So if he wanted to conquer those top families, it meant that he had to bypass those Grandmaster martial artists first.

Li Wanjing nodded as soon as he heard this and said, "This is not a secret matter. And this is also what I'm worried about."

Yang Song fell into silence and closed his eyes for a while. But soon, he opened his eyes and arced his mouth, "Don't worry about it. I have a method to bypass those Grandmasters."

"Really?" Li Wanjing asked with an unsure expression.

Yang Song simply explained to him, "Your life and death, aren't they in my control?"

Hearing this statement, Li Wanjing's breath went stagnant a bit before he regained his senses and nodded quickly with excitement, "Yes, Master."

Previously, Yang Song used a kind of weird yellow paper on him and his subordinates. Li Wanjing was not sure what that yellow paper was, but he was pretty sure that via that yellow paper, Yang Song could control his life and death freely.

Yang Song saw Li Wanjing's face and knew what he was thinking about, then he shifted the topic slightly and said, "So what I need you to do is give me a list of all families in Martial City, from top to bottom, from the strongest to the weakest. Try to gather their crucial information as much as possible and try to do it as fast as possible."

Then, without caring if Li Wanjing would agree to this order or not, Yang Song got up from the seat and walked to the door.

Li Wanjing was dumbfounded and also got up, then, Yang Song left him a sentence before leaving, "This is your only chance to prove your worth."

This sentence echoed in Li Wanjing's ears for a few seconds before disappearing.

When Yang Song's back completely disappeared from his sight, Li Wanjing came back to his senses and he smiled uncontrollably.

This task might sound difficult and what Yang Song said might sound harsh, however, Li Wanjing wanted this the best.

Because the harder the task was, the more handsome the reward would be after he completed the task.

But in Li Wanjing's mind, he felt that this task was quite hard because he had to gather crucial information of those top families, which would inevitably offend them and arouse their attention.

But regardless of that, Li Wanjing was confident that with his various connections and power, he would be able to accomplish this task for sure.

…

After leaving Li Wanjing's mansion, Yang Song flew to Tong City and entered the White Dragon Abode, and resumed his cultivation.

Yang Song felt that although his current strength was strong, it was still not the strongest here.

So while Li Wanjing was doing that task, Yang Song himself had to cultivate to upgrade his strength as much as possible.

At the same time, when he broke through to the 8th stage of the Foundation Building Realm, Yang Song would start making more talismans, especially the Lesser Soul Binding Talisman.

With that thought in mind, Yang Song focused his entire attention on cultivation.

…

For the next few days, Yang Song cultivated all the time and did not care about the outside world at all.

He even told his descendants not to disturb him unless there was a very urgent situation that required him to know and required his decision.

The three pets of Yang Song had woken up several days ago, however, they stayed near Yang Song all the time. They did not need to worry about food as Yang Song gave them a lot of food.

The three guys did not stay idle either, Yang Song had designed them a technique each and let them practice hard.

Actually, in these several days, the undercurrent around the world was surging and every country was making every preparation possible so that they could defend in case the abyssal demons appeared again.

The governments put together their respective powerhouses, prepared their respective weapons, and arranged their respective protective measures quickly.

The movements were not silent, so almost every civilian was also preparing themselves.

But even after the next few days, no other appearances of the abyssal demons were seen or detected again.

But just on this day, just as everyone relaxed their vigilance, the government around the world suddenly announced a piece of good news to everyone – the Energy Detector had finally been created successfully and launched for the first time.

This Energy Detector could detect all kinds of energy in each country via various respective special satellites.

On this day, the government of C Country also launched the national Energy Detector across the whole country.

For the first time, the world finally had a proper Energy Detector and each country could find those hidden entrances of the abyss.

As for Yang Song, he also knew this news. So as soon as he was informed by Yang Haodong about this news, he immediately paused his cultivation and finally put the Innate Mirror Formation into use.

The Innate Mirror Formation was a defensive formation, however, it also had the concealing function which was exactly why Yang Song prepared it.

But to make this formation, Yang Song had to start every from scratch, especially since he did not have the core material of the formation – formation flag.

Fortunately, refining the formation flag was not difficult and the materials needed were also available.

So after Yang Song successfully refined nine formation flags, he began to draw some strange symbols in eight different directions around the Yang Family courtyard.

After drawing those symbols, Yang Song's True Energy was quite drained but he did not care. He immediately put the formation flags he had refined in eight different directions on those symbols.

When this preparation was finished, Yang Song held the main formation flag which was the control formation flag, injected his True Energy into it, and activated the Innate Mirror Formation.

Buzz…

There was a strange up high in the air, however, this was only heard by Yang Song alone as this sound was the sound of Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth grouping up together and surging in one direction, which was the Yang Family courtyard.

Although the Spiritual Energy nowadays was not so pure and abundant, since there was only Yang Song who used it, the amount was actually more than enough to activate a formation and let it operate.

The formation flags in the eight directions immediately trembled, and at the same time, the eight symbols also lit up one after another.

Finally, the formation flags and the symbols blended into the earth and disappeared without a trace. However, the Innate Mirror Formation had already been activated and it was operating.

The whole process was actually done inside the Yang Family courtyard, so no outsiders saw the things here.

When Yang Song just finished launching his formation, the country launched the Energy Detector.

For this, Yang Song also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his actions were fast. Otherwise, if the country detected such a huge energy fluctuation, Yang Song would've been in big trouble for sure.

After the launch, C Country indeed found a handful of hidden entrances of the abyss. This was not good news in general, but people were still happy because they found no appearance of the passage of the abyssal demons.

It was the evening when the country announced the result of the launch of the Energy Detector.

And Yang Song had also finished making formations around that time.

However, at this moment, the sky outside darkened without warning, accompanied by a muffled sound that shook the sky and the earth!

Everything was so sudden.

"What happened?"

"What's the matter?"

In various places, people started talking.

Outside, the sky above Martial City had completely changed, and only an unusual black substance obscured the sky.
