Chapter 1321 - 654: Yang Baoshan Falls
"Fanshan Island has been reclaimed?"
Liang Yuan was a bit surprised and looked at Wu Ying and Han Xiangman.
He didn’t expect that just as he returned, Wu Ying and Han Xiangman had already resolved the situation on Fanshan Island.
Han Xiangman said, "It’s been reclaimed. On Fanshan Island, apart from Gu Jianye who was somewhat difficult to deal with, there were no other experts."
"Oh, by the way, we’ve also captured Gu Jianye’s son, Gu Qingshan. He’s currently held in the Stone Forest at the Mouth of Dark Abyss."
Liang Yuan burst into laughter, "Great, well done."
"Since Fanshan Island has been reclaimed, our next move is to head to Baoshan City and make a trip to Yang Baoshan."
"You’re going to Yang Baoshan?" Han Xiangman asked.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Since Chang Yuntao wants to kill Pu Shanlie, that means Pu Shanlie could be a friend to make."
"Of course, cooperation aside, we in Yangshan need absolute control."
"We’ll see how things are when we get to Yang Baoshan."
Liang Yuan made the plan to go to Yang Baoshan to assess the situation there.
"Mr. Liang, I’ve already sent people over to investigate, they should be back soon," Wu Ying immediately said.
Liang Yuan smiled, Wu Ying had indeed grown, not only had his strength improved quickly, but his thoughtfulness in handling matters was also commendable.
Not only had he reclaimed Fanshan Island ahead of time, but he also sent people to Yang Baoshan to check the situation in advance.
"Then there’s no rush, let’s settle down in Fanshan Town first."
Wu Ying promptly said, "I’ll show you around Fanshan Town, it was built after you last visited, and you haven’t had the time to see it."
Liang Yuan nodded with a smile, "Sounds good."
Then Wu Ying and the others led Liang Yuan to look around Fanshan Town.
Fanshan Town is located near the Stone Forest at the Mouth of Dark Abyss, spanning an area of about 4 hectares, where over a hundred people lived within this range, it didn’t feel crowded, rather quite spacious.
The whole town was specially designed by the Construction Department, divided into residential areas, warehouse areas, activity areas, training fields, and market centers.
The entire Fanshan Town was enclosed by a barrier, keeping the dark attribute energy entirely outside.
Inside the barrier, a large number of mutated sunflowers were planted, making the town bright and spacious.
Also, thanks to the barrier, there is no problem of accumulated snow and rain, overall, the construction of Fanshan Town was quite decent.
After viewing the foundational construction of Fanshan Town, Liang Yuan praised, "This town is built well, though not large, it’s fully functional. Who planned this?"
Wu Ying quickly replied with a smile, "It was designed by Old Ma and his team. The town mimicked the construction area of Yangshan, and they say administrative areas will be added later."
Liang Yuan smiled, "Not bad, let Old Ma and his team think of ways to add more functional areas to improve the quality of life here."
"Once winter passes and the snow melts, the Mouth of Dark Abyss will also gather near Yangshan, making life more convenient for everyone."
Wu Ying also showed a look of anticipation, looking forward to joining Yangshan soon, so the Mouth of Dark Abyss wouldn’t stay adrift outside.
"How’s the military fortifications construction coming along?" Liang Yuan looked around at the military fortresses near the barrier.
Wu Ying promptly said, "Currently, four military fortresses have been built at the four corners of the town."
In fact, a 4-hectare town is essentially an area of forty thousand square meters, similar to a square land measuring two hundred meters on each side, equivalent to five or six standard football fields.
Within this area, four fortresses are quite sufficient for the town’s defense.
Approximately one hundred people living here is definitely safe.
Especially since this is the Mouth of Dark Abyss, with dark attribute energy widespread outside, a natural barrier.
With the addition of the Black Dragon stationed here, it’s practically impossible for an enemy to invade on a large scale.
As they approached the fortress, a familiar figure came over.
With wind attribute energy swirling around her, she swiftly flew over from the military fortress.
"Hello Mr. Liang, do you remember me?"
Nie Xin looked at Liang Yuan, her pretty eyes showing a hint of joy.
Apparently, she didn’t expect Liang Yuan to arrive so soon.
Since last separating at Fanshan, she hadn’t seen Liang Yuan again.
To this Yangshan Leader who saved her in times of crisis, she had inexplicable goodwill.
Seeing her, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but smile, "Nie Xin, of course I remember you. You were the first person I met when I came to Fanshan Island, a very memorable impression."
Nie Xin immediately beamed with joy, extremely delighted.
She quickly said, "Thank you for remembering me."
"Are you and your family living here now, with no one bullying you anymore?" Liang Yuan smiled.
Nie Xin couldn’t help but smile, "No, with Captain Wu here, those ill-intentioned folks have quietly fled away, and some even betrayed us in previous battles and were executed."
Liang Yuan laughed, "That’s good, if you have any difficulties in life, just let me know, if I’m not around, you can mention it to Wu Ying and the others."
Saying this, Liang Yuan turned to glance at Wu Ying, smiling, "This young lady once showed me the way, consider it a favor I owe her. Look after her more."
Wu Ying quickly nodded, showing a hint of kindness toward Nie Xin and said, "Alright, Mr. Liang."
"Nie Xin, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, don’t be shy."
Nie Xin waved her hands repeatedly, laughing, "No, no difficulties. It feels like a dream to live on the Floating Island, with such houses, eating meat and rice every day, it’s truly a hundred times more comfortable than when we were on Fanshan Island."
She still remembered that when winter came at Fanshan Island, even mutant beasts hid away. Never mind eating meat, even bark had to be peeled off to eat.
Who would’ve thought that after joining the Mouth of Dark Abyss now, not only could they eat meat, they also had rice.
This life truly felt like stepping into paradise.
The grain at Fanshan Town was directly shipped from Yangshan by Liang Yuan’s arrangement.
Currently, this place has no conditions for growing crops, and can only rely on supplies transported from elsewhere.
Fortunately, the Sumeru Ring solves the transportation problem for food.
Also, the population here isn’t too large, so one transport lasts a long time.
After wandering around, they returned to Fan Mountain Town.
Liang Yuan checked his watch; it was already past eight at night.
However, Fan Mountain Town relies on mutated sunflowers for light, so it’s always daytime, no night.
As a result, no one noticed it was already nighttime.
Liang Yuan had dinner here, and around nine, Chen Guangming hurried back.
Upon seeing him, Wu Ying immediately called him over and asked, "What’s the situation on Yang Baoshan’s side?"
Chen Guangming had a serious expression and said, "Captain, Mr. Liang, Yang Baoshan has already been defeated; Yang Baoshan has been completely taken over by Beichen Island, and Mist City has appeared."
"I heard that Chang Yuntao, the Master of Fog City, personally defeated Yang Baoshan’s leader, Pu Shanlie."
"Pu Shanlie was critically injured and has disappeared."
"Some say he died, while others say he escaped; no one knows where he went."
Wu Ying and Liang Yuan both showed shock.
Liang Yuan immediately asked, "Did all of Yang Baoshan’s people get wiped out? What about Xu Haoyang?"
Chen Guangming shook his head: "I heard many of Yang Baoshan’s people swore not to surrender and were captured by Chang Yuntao, possibly including Xu Haoyang."
"The opponent has spiritual power experts, and I can’t investigate closely. Sorry, Captain, Mr. Liang."
Chen Guangming showed a hint of guilt.
Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No worries, this information is enough; you don’t need to risk further investigation."
"Since Chang Yuntao won, the next step is likely to attack us."
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiangman, Wu Ying, are there people on Fanshan Island?"
"Yes, I’ve stationed Hongmian and Jiu Yue there."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Tell them to be alert recently; without a doubt, Chang Yuntao will send someone to contact Gu Jianye."
"He likely doesn’t know that I’ve captured Gu Jianye."
Wu Ying quickly added, "Mr. Liang, not necessarily; after you pursued Gu Jianye, we seized the opportunity to escape, and during our takeover of Fanshan Island, some survivors escaped."
"Those people might have already informed Chang Yuntao."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan considered it and said, "Seems the ambush plan is not feasible."
"Since that’s the case, we’ll have to attack directly."
"Mr. Liang, what’s your plan?" Han Xiangman couldn’t help but ask.
"War is a game of deception, making unexpected moves."
Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed as he said, "We’ve taken Fanshan Island and have Gu Jianye. Chang Yuntao likely doesn’t know I’ve reached the Dark Abyss Mouth."
"So, let’s strike while the iron is hot and head to Baoshan City for a night attack tonight!"
The words invigorated everyone.
Wu Ying immediately said, "Mr. Liang, let me be the vanguard!"
Liang Yuan laughed, "Your dark attribute superpower makes you perfect as the vanguard!"
They immediately began to discuss battle plans.
Wu Ying led Yin Jiu Yue, Chen Guangming, and others as the vanguard to infiltrate Yang Baoshan, hoping to find the original Yang Baoshan personnel who were captured.
Once found, they could release them, causing chaos on the mountain.
Meanwhile, Han Xiangman and Zhang Peng would lead the frontal attack.
Liang Yuan was responsible for managing the situation and handling top-tier opponents.
With everything arranged, Liang Yuan immediately gave the order: "March!"
In an instant, around a hundred people from Fan Mountain Town set out.
Leaving behind the old, weak, sick, and children, all other personnel joined Liang Yuan and the others to leave the Dark Abyss Mouth.
Under the night sky, the snow continued to fall.
Despite the biting cold, a group of about a hundred people quickly made their way through the dark night, heading directly for Yang Baoshan.
Among them, all were superpower users.
Though not everyone had condensed a genetic species, genetic species experts made up one-fifth of the group.
The group rushed at full speed, crossed the river originally belonging to Linjiang, and soon arrived opposite Baoshan City!
Half an hour later.
In the darkness, the distant flickers of fire appeared in their view.
Undoubtedly, that was Yang Baoshan!
Although it was night and the mountain’s shape wasn’t visible, the obvious firelight in the darkness indicated it was a gathering place for people.
Liang Yuan was high above, and with night vision, he saw Yang Baoshan standing amidst the snowfields.
Around the mountain, there seemed to be patrol personnel flying in the high sky.
Liang Yuan sneered and said, "Everyone, we’ve arrived!"
Wu Ying immediately said, "Mr. Liang, wait here while I lead our forces to take the lead."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Send the signal once successful."
"Understood!"
