Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 969 - 675: Having Subordinates Is Only Natural, Right?
Chapter 969: Chapter 675: Having Subordinates Is Only Natural, Right?
In the Grotto Heaven, the trees had already begun to turn yellow. Though it didn’t have the desolate scene before winter snowfall, the difference compared to summer was still substantial.
There was even a hint of coldness in the air.
At this moment, many Ye Family Members were gathered in front of Spirit Peak.
Their expressions were urgent, their gazes shifting, evidently having received the news.
The Ye Family, at this crucial moment, was slandered, and if not handled well, the many years of their endurance would become a mirage.
After all, those propagating in the dark dared to publicize it, naturally carrying a high probability of evidence.
The Ye Family couldn’t gamble that the other side had no evidence; otherwise, truly reaching Lingyun Peak and being faced with evidence from the other side, at that moment, the Ye Family would have no retreat!
Moreover, this had also disrupted all previous arrangements by the Ye Family, especially Ye Jing Hu, who was extremely remorseful at this moment. It was due to his insistence on coming to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, leading to the family being infiltrated and scrutinized at Clan Mountain.
If it hadn’t been for that action, perhaps the Ye Family would not have been exposed.
“Fourth Uncle Ancestor, please impose heavy punishment on Jing Hu.” Ye Jing Hu directly knelt down.
Yet, Ye Xuefan raised his hand to lift him up.
“If you have a heart of admitting wrong, let’s discuss this after the matter is resolved. The position of Patriarch will have an acting title added to it!” Ye Xuefan didn’t punish Ye Jing Hu at this moment; instead, everyone looked towards the peak of the mountain.
Where the only Golden Core Cultivator of the Ye Family stood.
Also requiring Ye Jingcheng to pilot the Tier Four Spiritual Ship to swiftly return to the Yan Kingdom.
They were now already in the territory of Chu Kingdom; if it were a Tier Three Spiritual Ship, it might take over ten days to reach Yan Kingdom, which was too slow.
By that time when returning, it’s feared the Eastern Domain Ye Family would have been thoroughly massacred.
At that moment, suddenly vast yellow light emerged in the sky.
Then, it began to thunderously gather the Qilin Profound Earth – True Hall Secret Technique.
An awe-inspiring, lifelike earth-yellow Qilin True Hall, seemingly a palace of the True Spirit.
Accompanied by an angry roar of the Qilin True Spirit.
Along with the Spiritual Light being applied again, a Qilin Spirit Shadow stepped atop the True Hall, likewise staring exceedingly.
A pair of Qilin Eyes proudly stood, triumphantly overlooking the world. After meeting its gaze, one felt a terrifying gravity suddenly bursting, as if instantly starting to bear the weight of a great mountain.
The earth-yellow Spiritual Light of the True Hall also began to spread widely.
“Scatter!” With a light shout, all the Spiritual Light completely dispersed, first the True Hall crumbled, followed by the Qilin Spirit Shadow.
And within the Qilin Spirit Shadow, the last to disperse was a pair of Qilin Eyes.
After everything vanished, Ye Jingcheng’s figure descended from the high sky.
Appearing in front of everyone.
“Jingcheng, have a look at the Clan Token!” Ye Xuefan said urgently.
Ye Jingcheng also nodded; he had previously been in seclusion, consolidating the True Essence brought by the Earth Dragon Demon King Beast.
Also allowing him to progress considerably within half a year.
Furthermore, the Earth Spirit Secret Technique had finally reached the realm of Minor Achievement.
He glanced at the Token, and his expression turned grim.
The investigation into the Ye Family was not conducted by Illusion Peak; Dharma Peak and Sword Peak came instead.
This was almost impossible to leave without any face.
Jing Yun could stall for some time, but resolving the matter was a difficult task.
Ye Jingcheng’s mind was rapidly working at this moment. He tried every solution yet still felt a massive headache.
Finally, seeing the previous Fire Peak, Ye Jingcheng’s eyes focused.
“Fourth Uncle Ancestor, if the Zhang Family and Jia Family were truly orthodox of Artifact Desolate and Kuihuang, how many Golden Cores are possible now?” Ye Jingcheng directly asked.
Regarding past information of the Eight Desolates Sect, he was not very well-versed.
But he knew that he now had three Golden Core battle power, plus an Earth Dragon Demon King as a peak Demon King.
If the opposite side was in seclusion breaking through to Nascent Soul, the Ye Family might indeed give it a try.
“At least over five!” Ye Xuefan pondered for a moment, then spoke.
“This Zhang Family and Jia Family naturally cannot be Kuihuang and Artifact Desolate direct lineage. The tragic situation of the Eight Desolates Sect back then is enough to be entered into Cultivation historical records, so back then, they likely only had Purple Mansion Cultivators, but now Zhang Family and Jia Family openly possess Golden Cores, covertly hiding at least one more Golden Core!” Ye Xuefan speculated.
He understood Ye Jingcheng’s meaning; if the Ye Family could leverage this wave directly to enter the Extreme West Desert Sea, they wouldn’t need to worry about any Eastern Domain forces at all.
Because lacking a Teleportation Array, entering the Extreme West Desert Sea at least required crossing a hundred thousand mountain-sea.
In ordinary views, the Taihang Mountain Range was already large enough, yet it merely served as the gateway to the mountain-sea, where there is a substantial number of Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.
Ordinary Nascent Souls wouldn’t dare to ensure safely traversing through the mountain-sea to reach the far western Desert Sea.
“`
However, the strength of the Zhang Family and the Jia Family might not be weak, and most critically, they’re facing Kuihuang, which might have several Golden Core Puppets.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng fell silent.
If they didn’t have the numerical advantage, rushing into the Desert Sea would be a suicide mission.
Not to mention whether the Zhang Family and the Jia Family have other allies.
After all, from what the Eight Desolates Sect has revealed, the Ye Family is the Beast Desolate, the Wan Family is the Sword Desolate, and the remaining four Desolates are still unaccounted for.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng had his suspicions about the Qinghe Sect and the Taiyi Sect. Their sect model was clearly still the model of the Eight Desolates Sect.
“If there are six Golden Cores, then it might be worth trying. Aren’t they gathering a Tier Five Spiritual Vein?” Just then, the voice of the Earth Dragon Demon King resounded in everyone’s ears.
This scene left Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuefan, and the others dumbfounded.
“Besides Jingcheng’s combat power, the Three-eyed Demon Roc, the early-stage Fourth Tier Thunder Roc, and the mid-stage Fourth Tier Mammoth Demon King can join as well!”
Upon hearing this, their gazes turned even more bizarre.
“Don’t look at me like that. I need to have Fourth Tier beast subordinates, don’t I, just like you cultivators, to break through to the Fifth Tier!” said the Earth Dragon Demon King.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt a sense of relief in his heart.
It was as if the deadlock was about to be broken.
Moreover, he had just sensed that the Earth Dragon Demon King wasn’t lying.
He might not know the exact strength of the Mammoth Demon King, but the Ye Family understood the power of the Three-eyed Demon King.
It was also an existence at the late stage of the Fourth Tier and had been for over seventy years, not just newly broken through.
Its strength had certainly increased significantly.
The Thunder Roc Demon King was a newcomer who had occupied the former Cloud Lion Valley.
Though only at the early stage of the Fourth Tier, it was a Thunder Attribute Demon King.
This added three Golden Core combat powers.
The Ye Family’s chances of victory increased significantly!
“I can summon the three of them to the Earth Dragon Valley, but until I break through, you can’t communicate with beasts, only contract with them!” the Earth Dragon Demon King demanded again.
During soul injection, anyone who communicates with beasts can seize some soul power.
The Earth Dragon Demon King was not concerned about Ye Jingcheng’s original beasts because they were all Tier Three, with only the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon reaching the Fourth Tier.
However, if they could all communicate with beasts, it would be different.
“Naturally, this deed is to your great merit, Dragon Ancestor; the Ye Family will certainly remember it!” Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly.
He had been somewhat distressed about the Chenjing Jade earlier, but now he felt it was entirely worth it!
Ye Xuefan and others also beamed with joy.
If they could conquer the Extreme West Desert Sea and move the teleportation array into the Taihang Mountain Range, the Ye Family would be secure, even if the Penglai Immortal Sect came, it would be useless!
“Jingcheng, if we don’t have to expose ourselves, let’s avoid it. The Taiyi Sect isn’t entirely cohesive with them!”
At that moment, Ye Xuefan spoke again.
“Given the current situation in the Yan Kingdom, the Taiyi Sect has only one Nascent Soul, and the Tian Dao Sect has one as well. The Medicine King Valley of the Zhao Kingdom can block the Qinghe Sect’s attack on the Taiyi Sect, but it can’t stop their attack on the Tian Dao Sect. If the Tian Dao Sect falls, the Taiyi Sect will either be swallowed by the Medicine King Valley or by the Qinghe Sect, there’s no surprise in that!”
“The Profound River Infinite Sword Array is presumably prepared for the Tian Dao Sect, and this, if utilized well, the True Monarch Zi Ming might just keep things under wraps for us!”
“After all, is finding the Beast Desolate truly beneficial for the Taiyi Sect? If the Artifact Desolate and Kuihuang exist, why can’t the Beast Desolate?”
“Find the Secret Treasure? Wouldn’t the Penglai Immortal Sect silence everyone?” Ye Xuefan’s words bolstered Ye Jingcheng’s confidence even more.
Indeed, the people of the Taiyi Sect were divided into three factions: some secretly sought the Secret Treasure and Beast Desolate, some openly searched, and some didn’t search at all.
These three factions were embodied in Illusionary Blade Peak, Dharma Peak, and Purple Peak.
“Fourth Uncle, I understand now. Let’s return to the Yan Kingdom first. I’ll head out to steer the Spiritual Ship!” Ye Jingcheng nodded and left the Grotto Heaven.
The Spiritual Ship outside the Grotto Heaven was being piloted by Ye Haisheng.
At that moment, Ye Haisheng was exerting all his strength, pasting a Spirit Talisman onto the Spiritual Ship, his face flushed from the effort.
After all, Ye Haisheng was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion, and such exertion was indeed a significant burden!
Clearly, Ye Haisheng was also particularly worried about Lingyun Peak and wanted to return as soon as possible.
Even though he grew up at Hidden Peak, the Ye Family’s bloodline coursed fervently and warmly between Lingyun Peak and the Hidden Peaks!
“Uncle Haisheng, let me take over. You head into the Grotto Heaven first!” Ye Jingcheng suggested.
He then took out a Tier Four Spiritual Ship, boarded it, and instantly, the Spiritual Ship sped off like an arrow from the bow, disappearing across the plains in an instant.
Ye Haisheng marveled at the speed, his eyes naturally filled with envy, and after a glance, he entered the Grotto Heaven.
He knew that the battles to come could be tough, and he must quickly restore his True Essence.
