Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1710 - 1044: Old Niu Is Truly a Genius!

Inside the room, Yang Zhenshan did not care about Wen Yu and Wen Qiao’s thoughts; he intended to continue refining his Golden Core. To him, it was the same wherever he did it.
Whether it was the Jade Sky Hall or Cloud Peak, it did not hinder his Golden Core refinement.
But as he sat down, a feeling of being watched emerged in his heart.
His Spiritual Sense silently spread out, but he did not find the observer, indicating that the observation came from the Void.
Who is it?
Yang Zhenshan remained calm on the surface, but pondered internally.
Who would spy on him?
It certainly wasn’t an ally, as allies would directly observe openly rather than hiding in the Void to spy.
Lin Qihe?
Probably not, as he should be finding a place to hide at this time; running around aimlessly is not a wise choice.
Unpredictable Ghost Sect?
That was even less likely. Yang Zhenshan was just a trivial Golden Core Cultivator, and the Unpredictable Ghost Sect was targeting the Demon Clan, not him.
Thinking over and over, there seemed only two possibilities.
First, it could be the enemy: Yellow Springs Old Ghost or Chi Yuan, who were the most likely to keep an eye on him, possibly taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Unpredictable Ghost Sect to trouble him.
Second, it could be a passerby, perhaps a Demon King from the Wanhua Mountain Range. As ordinary demon beasts fled from the mountain range, those Demon Kings might have also escaped.
No matter who it was, Yang Zhenshan had to meet them. Being spied upon was not a good thing.
With this thought, Yang Zhenshan’s figure suddenly disappeared.
At the moment he vanished, the spying Spiritual Sense also disappeared instantly, and at the same time, a hidden Qi Mechanism in the Void quickly retreated.
"Now that you’re here, why hurry to leave?"
Yang Zhenshan’s Qi Mechanism suddenly appeared in front of the retreating Qi Mechanism, and his Spiritual Sense spread out with sound transmission.
The Qi Mechanism had to stop, scrutinizing Yang Zhenshan up and down.
Yang Zhenshan also used his Spiritual Sense to scrutinize the opposite party.
It wasn’t Yellow Springs Old Ghost or Chi Yuan; it seemed to be a Demon King.
The Qi Mechanism leaned towards Wood Attribute with vibrant vitality.
The Life and Death Tai Chi Diagram slowly unfolded, enveloping the other.
Lifespan of four thousand eight hundred years, consumption ratio of four to one.
Judging by the consumption, the opponent’s strength wasn’t high, approximately between the early peak and mid-stage.
However, the opponent’s lifespan was astonishingly four thousand eight hundred years, not much different from Yang Zhenshan’s.
This was a person extremely skilled in health preservation.
A Golden Core Cultivator’s lifespan is generally about three thousand years; some adept in longevity might live to four thousand years, and some who have mastered special Divine Skills might reach five thousand or even longer lifespans, like Yang Zhenshan.
Others might use methods to prolong their life, possibly living seven to eight thousand years; however, such a way of living is stifling, and generally, they cannot reveal themselves unless absolutely necessary, as doing so might lead them to quickly meet their end.
In comparison, Ghost Cultivators’ lifespans extend two to three times longer than that of Immortal Cultivators, though extending life is more challenging for them.
Whereas Demon Cultivators generally have varied lifespans; most Demon Cultivators extend their lifespans longer than Immortal Cultivators by two to three times, some far exceeding Immortal Cultivators, and some Demon Kings might have lifespans reaching up to ten thousand years.
A thousand-year-old turtle and a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, like the Mystic Turtle, are typical examples of such demon beasts with prolonged lifespans.
Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts raced, guessing the identity of the person before him.
He knew quite a bit about the Demon Kings in the northern part of the Wanhua Mountain Range; a Demon King with Wood Attribute and such a long lifespan couldn’t be guessed among many.
"Green Bull Demon King!"
"You know of Old Niu?" The Green Bull Demon King no longer hid his identity and asked.
"Heard of you!" Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
The Green Bull Demon King’s power wasn’t strong, nor did he have a notable reputation outside, yet there were many rumors about him.
Some said he was timid and cowardly, others said he was scared of dying, some said he only loved to sleep, and there were even claims that he had died long ago.
A demon king ought to be formidable, yet the Green Bull Demon King defied most demon king stereotypes; before becoming a Demon King, he was insignificant, and even after becoming king, he had made no achievements.
Most demon kings would vie for some territory or resources, but not this Demon King; he neither fought nor contested for anything.
Sometimes people easily overlooked him; however, being a Demon King, if one needed to count the Demon Kings of the northern Wanhua Mountain Range, he couldn’t be entirely disregarded.
He remained unseen, leaving others unaware of his situation, thus leading to many rumors about him.
Yang Zhenshan naturally heard of these rumors; he had been quite curious about this one, considering him an oddity.
"Haha, to think someone still remembers Old Niu. I thought everyone had forgotten me!" The Green Bull Demon King laughed.
"Perhaps forgotten before, but certainly not now. Many are curious about the plight of your Gray-horned Green Ox clan after its demise," Yang Zhenshan said.
Upon hearing this, the Green Bull Demon King’s demeanor immediately turned deadly.
Yang Zhenshan continued, "The demise of the Gray-horned Green Ox clan has nothing to do with me; if you want revenge, you shouldn’t come after me. May I ask why you were spying on me?"
The tone suggested a kind of inquiry.
Spying on others is no trivial matter; whether a Foundation Establishment Cultivator or a Golden Core Cultivator, using Spiritual Sense to spy is considered extremely rude behavior.
