Chen Yang encounters Mayor Tang Jingshan and learns about Cangshi Town's troubles: conflict with the Barbarian Bull Tribe and mysterious disappearances in the mines, rumored to be caused by a ghost. Chen Yang suspects the ghost is a fabrication and decides to take command to address the external threat first.

The second wave was a middle-aged man who was somewhat obese, with a full face of wealth.

Following him were cultivators all dressed in ordinary clothing, with strength not much different from Tang Jingshan.

Judging from their attire, it was easy to tell that this was likely the Xiao Family, one of the three major forces in Cangshi Town.

The fat man leading them was very likely the Family Head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Xin.

And the third wave of people was dressed somewhat unusually.

The strong man leading them was bare-chested, with a body of bronze skin and well-defined muscles, very striking.

For his lower body, he wore pants made from the hide of a demon beast.

The whole person seemed extremely rugged, a tough guy!

The people following him were dressed similarly, looking like primitive humans, with fierce eyes and wearing demon beast furs.

Seeing their outfits, Chen Yang guessed that this must be the Fierce Tiger Gang, the third force in Cangyun Town.

Although the Fierce Tiger Gang was entrenched in Cangshi Town, their lair was not in the town but on a hill near the town.

"Great Perfection, all the combat-ready personnel in the town are here."

Once everyone was assembled, Tang Jingshan immediately walked up to Chen Yang and said with a smile.

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

Then, Tang Jingshan immediately introduced, "Great Perfection, this is the Family Head of the Xiao Family in the town, whom I introduced to you before, his strength is quite impressive."

"Haha, Great Perfection, hello, it must have been hard on you to come all the way from Cangnan Academy!" Xiao Xin also acted very courteous, voluntarily stepping forward to exchange pleasantries with Chen Yang.

"Hello, Family Head Xiao, I came this time hoping to help you reclaim the mining veins, and when the time comes, I hope the Xiao Family Head will lend much support." Chen Yang said.

"Of course, of course, definitely support." Xiao Xin nodded repeatedly.

"Great Perfection, and this is, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang! Zheng Dayou! His strength is even more formidable, I fear even as the town mayor, I am no match for him," Tang Jingshan introduced with a smile.

It sounded like what he was saying was true.

But anyone could see that compared to Tang Jingshan, the rugged Zheng Dayou was perhaps still a bit green.

Definitely not a match for Tang Jingshan.

Otherwise, their Fierce Tiger Gang wouldn’t have settled in the woods.

In Cangshi Town, the strong are respected, and the mayor must not only have connections with the academy but also possess overly strong power.

Otherwise, how could he possibly hold onto the mayor’s position in such a place?

"Hello." Hearing the introduction, Chen Yang glanced at Zheng Dayou a few times, and seeing he had no intention to speak first, Chen Yang took the initiative to speak.

This Zheng Dayou not only dressed uniquely but also had a different personality from the others.

Everyone here greeted Chen Yang with a smile, only this Zheng Dayou was very cold towards Chen Yang, even somewhat disdainful.

However, this disdain did not upset Chen Yang at all; instead, he was quite pleased.

Someone like Zheng Dayou, at a glance, was a straightforward and straight-laced guy.

Being openly disdainful was far better than Tang Jingshan and Xiao Xin’s feigned enthusiasm, while they harbored unknown thoughts in their hearts.

"Hmm, hello." Zheng Dayou reluctantly spoke, replying to Chen Yang with a sentence.

Then he directly, somewhat impatiently, asked Mayor Tang Jingshan, "Why have you called our brothers here, what’s the matter?"

Zheng Dayou’s cold attitude made Tang Jingshan a bit awkward.

But in such a situation, he could at least manage an awkward smile while bracing himself to speak.

"Brother Zheng, haven’t most of our Cangshi Town’s mining veins been occupied by the trolls of the Barbarian Bull Tribe lately?"

"This Great Perfection is a helper I specifically found from Cangnan Academy!"

"He asked me to gather you all here to reclaim our lost mining veins together!"

Tang Jingshan spoke with generosity and passion.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dayou’s eyes visibly brightened, but for some unknown reason, they quickly dimmed again.

At this point, Ma Yuan, the second in command of the Fierce Tiger Gang, snorted coldly, his attitude full of disdain, "Him? Mayor, you must be joking, right?"

"Don’t think we just stay on the mountain and know nothing."

"Disciples from Cangnan Academy are graded into levels, and this guy’s wearing a blue outfit, which at best makes him a fourth district disciple."

"What kind of strength does he have to lead us? I think we should just drop it! Don’t waste any more lives needlessly!"

Ma Yuan spoke without any regard for Chen Yang’s status.

His words instantly turned the atmosphere at the scene awkward.

"Ma Yuan! What are you saying? If the academy lets Great Perfection come, it must be to help us solve the problem!" the mayor immediately scolded with a serious face.

"I..." Ma Yuan just wanted to argue, but Zheng Dayou cut him off.

Zheng Dayou chuckled first and began to speak.

"Mayor, I think Ma Yuan makes a valid point; this time, the Barbarian Bull Tribe has strenuously looted, completely unlike in previous years when someone random from Cangnan Academy could easily settle it."

"This time, the Barbarian Bull Tribe has shown so many strong individuals. Without having overwhelmingly crushing strength, trying to seize the mining veins by force will result in many deaths; our lives are worth little."

"But it’s at least a life, and we can’t just hand it over to others unclearly."

Zheng Dayou’s tone was calm, not as targeted as Ma Yuan’s.

But the sharpness in his words was still directly pointed at Chen Yang.

Tang Jingshan heard these words and agreed in his heart; his eyes looked at Chen Yang with some doubt.

However, he still pretended to scold Zheng Dayou.

"Zheng Dayou, your words are a bit excessive! So, tell me, how can you be assured to entrust your life to Great Perfection?" Tang Jingshan said.

"Ma Yuan, you say." Zheng Dayou sneered, not answering directly, but instead letting Ma Yuan respond.

Ma Yuan smirked, stepping forward two steps, "It’s simple; real skill reveals real talent. He doesn’t have to defeat our big brother, but at least he has to beat me, Ma Yuan!"

"Otherwise, how can someone who can’t even beat me make us trust him much less have us entrust our lives to him."

Ma Yuan became more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice even getting louder towards the end.

His words also sparked the doubts in all present potential fighters.

They also knew very well that the disciples of Cangnan Academy are divided into levels.

Chen Yang’s blue robe, breaking the sky, would only make him a fourth district elite.

And from what they knew, even the strongest in the fourth district would only reach the Great Perfection of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

This Realm was indeed higher than most of their cultivation levels present.

But when dealing with the Barbarian Bull Tribe, it was far from being enough.

"Yes, we must see your strength, otherwise, why should we risk our lives?"

"If you have the skills, we’ll all follow your lead; if not, just go back."

"What has happened to Cangnan Academy? Why send a blue robe? Aren’t they always purple robes before?"
