Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 971 - 676: Zhang Family’s Plot and Zitian’s Arrival
Chapter 971: Chapter 676: Zhang Family’s Plot and Zitian’s Arrival
He didn’t care about anyone else; he only knew that wherever there’s a struggle, there are corpses.
This information is valuable; they could even send people to the Zhang Family to seize one or two Tier Two Spirit Mountains.
It’s a completely risk-free task.
One thousand Spirit Stones, getting such information is definitely profitable.
After the person left, Shopkeeper Qiu murmured:
“Interesting, truly interesting!”
“Both Beast Desolate and Artifact Desolate are emerging, and now there’s a descendant of the Eight Desolates Sect about to break through to Nascent Soul! It’s the first time!”
…
Outside Demon-Vanquishing Valley, Ye Jingfeng spat out the Spirit Tea and immediately retreated without leaving a trace.
At this moment, he had the Turtle Ancestor with him, so he naturally couldn’t take risks.
After flying several dozen miles, he released six or seven Ye Family Members from the Turtle Ancestor Grotto Heaven.
These family members were quite clever.
They were the ones responsible for spreading the news to implicate the Zhang Family.
Even though there was no substantial evidence, everything pointed to the Zhang and Jia families.
After the Ye Family went to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, they were actually very cautious openly.
There were only two groups that could infiltrate the Ye Family: those involved in the spirit beast meat business with the Jia Family,
and those in the business with the Taiyi Sect.
The Illusion Peak and Sword Peak of the Taiyi Sect had no reason to go out of their way to frame the Ye Family, so it was clear who was left.
But framing was just the Ye Family’s apparent counterattack, diverting everyone’s attention to the Zhang Family.
It also disgusted the Zhang Family.
Meanwhile, it let the Jia Family relax.
After all, the Jia Family was the true target of the Ye Family.
After Ye Jingfeng finished speaking with everyone, he instructed them all to spread the word individually.
Of course, their main targets for spreading the word were Loose Cultivators, ensuring minimal risk.
Although Loose Cultivators weren’t as effective, the Ye Family was only trying to gain an upper hand in public opinion for now.
The Artifact Desolate’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul stirred as much sensation as the previous Spirit Gathering Array incident.
This news was as shocking as the news about the Ye Family being the Beast Desolate’s descendants.
After all, neither had evidence, both relying on overwhelming rumors and the principle of “three people make a tiger.”
After everyone dispersed, Ye Jingfeng, along with the Turtle Ancestor, headed towards the mountains beyond Demon-Vanquishing Valley, making his way toward the four commanderies of the Cyan River in Yan Kingdom.
…
At the Lingyun Peak in the Taihang Mountain Range.
At this moment, some uninvited guests had arrived on the summit.
Ye Jingyun was courteously receiving everyone.
Among these cultivators were True Master San Yuan and Master Miaofa from Dharma Peak, an impressive presence. Upon their arrival at Lingyun Peak, a terrifying pressure fell on Ye Jingyun.
Ye Jingyun felt a roaring in his mind; as a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, naturally, it was hard to resist.
He almost coughed up blood.
“Is the Ye Family aware of their crimes?” Master Miaofa’s voice was like true thunder, resounding on the entire Lingyun Peak.
“Replying to the elder, the Ye Family has not violated any sect regulations and is unaware of any crimes!” Ye Jingyun’s eyes were burning with intense anger.
He hadn’t expected the other party to use True Essence suppression immediately.
“Your Ye Family is indeed the descendants of Beast Desolate!” Master Miaofa shouted again.
“Elder Miaofa, Han Kingdom has the Beast Spirit Sect, Zhao Kingdom has the Beast Taming Yu Family, Lu Kingdom has the Beast Taming Min Family, all are occasional inheritors of the Spirit Beast lineage. Could they all be Beast Desolate?”
“If it weren’t for this recent grave injustice, we juniors wouldn’t even know what the Eight Desolates Sect is!”
Under immense pressure, Ye Jingyun spoke.
If it weren’t for the array on Lingyun Peak helping to relieve the pressure, he might have collapsed.
“Where is Ye Jingcheng?” This time it was True Master San Yuan who spoke, and Ye Jingyun suddenly felt the pressure vanish.
“Replying to Elder San Yuan, he is still in seclusion, breaking through!” Ye Jingyun said.
These words left everyone stunned.
After all, Ye Jingcheng’s breakthrough to the Purple Mansion seemed to have been only twenty years ago in their opinion; it was quite challenging to achieve a breakthrough every twenty years in the Purple Mansion.
This aroused their imagination.
“If the elders are not in a hurry, they can ascend Lingyun Peak and wait for Jingcheng to exit seclusion!” Ye Jingyun continued.
“All the Ye Family members are here; no one has left!”
“Let’s wait a few days!” True Master San Yuan looked at Master Miaofa, who hesitated a few times before nodding.
True Master San Yuan was a Late Golden Core stage cultivator, while Master Miaofa was in the Early Golden Core stage, naturally not daring to oppose True Master San Yuan.
…
Seven more days passed.
At this moment, the entire Yan Kingdom was filled with intense smoke, as if the Qinghe Sect was preparing to invade the Taiyi Sect again, creating an atmosphere of trepidation everywhere.
And just at this time, a golden light streaked through the sky and entered Lingyun Peak.
This was Ye Jingcheng. At this moment, he did not conceal his presence, knowing he wouldn’t be able to hide from True Master San Yuan and Master Miaofa, even if he could from ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.
Moreover, his aura at this moment was not entirely restrained.
This startled True Master San Yuan and Master Miaofa.
For a moment, they seemed to have realized something.
“Fellow Daoists, let’s talk in the side hall!” Ye Jingcheng did not hide the aura of his breakthrough to Golden Core.
At this time, there was no longer a need to hide it.
In fact, hiding it might even produce a counterproductive effect.
In the Cultivation Realm, a prerequisite for good negotiations is equal strength. More importantly, his Divine Sense detected someone.
“Are you Junior Brother Tianfu?” In the side hall, this was what True Master San Yuan said.
His eyes were filled with doubt.
Because in his view, no matter how talented Ye Jingcheng was, breaking through to Golden Core was unlikely.
It was too unbelievable.
Only a possession and subsequent retraining could explain it.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head but didn’t give a definite answer.
“I’ve been in the midst of a breakthrough these past times. Do you have any business with me?” Ye Jingcheng asked.
With these words, the two of them even understood why Ye Jingyun felt so humiliated.
This was evidently a possession by Master Tianfu, so how could they be Beast Desolate descendants?
Even if there were a Beast Desolate inheritance, it was likely a small part received by chance.
“There’s been a rumor spreading that the Ye Family is indeed descendants of Beast Desolate.” This time, it was Master Miaofa who spoke.
He wasn’t here for reminiscence, nor did he care if the person in front of him was truly Master Tianfu or Ye Jingcheng.
He only cared about whether they were descendants of Beast Desolate.
“Considering how many times you’ve searched Lingyun Peak, when did it truly seem like they were Beast Desolate people?”
“That person merely cooperated with the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain and started spreading rumors because I wasn’t at Lingyun Peak, and you believed it?”
“Or are you also aligning with the Qinghe Sect?” With Ye Jingcheng’s words, the two were greatly shocked.
After all, it was the Qinghe Sect in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain that first brought up Beast Desolate.
But from start to finish, no Beast Desolate person appeared in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.
No one found any Beast Desolate person either.
It’s even highly possible Beast Desolate was fabricated as a scapegoat.
“I understand now; I’ll report this when I return!” True Master San Yuan nodded and prepared to leave.
Whether it’s possession, retraining, or Ye Jingcheng’s own high talent that allowed him to break through to Early-stage Golden Core, there simply wasn’t enough time for him to have left Lingyun Peak.
And as True Master San Yuan decided to let it go, Master Miaofa opened his mouth to speak but swallowed his words at the thought of Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Core stage.
“We’ve delayed long enough; we need to return. The Taichang Mountain Range might face relocations from the Penglai Immortal Sect, supporting the Celestial Horse Sea Domain!”
“Now, of the three major islands of the Celestial Horse Sea Domain, only the Celestial Lu Islands remain. The flood dragon of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea and the Chenjing Whale of the Chenjing Sea are too wild, even True Monarch Zi Ming has gone to the Celestial Horse Sea Domain!” True Master San Yuan left with his people.
After the two left, Ye Jingcheng remained in the side hall, starting to brew tea.
Soon, a purple-robed cultivator entered from outside.
This figure was not unfamiliar to Ye Jingcheng; it was Master Zitian from Taiyi Purple Peak, next only to True Monarch Zi Ming in Taiyi Sect.
And the person Ye Jingcheng sensed earlier was indeed Master Zitian.
