Chapter 442: Chapter 389: Shocking News, Preparing for Battle! (Double-Length)
However, his heart was pounding.
Unlike before, he was one of those in the Ye Family kept in the dark.
This time, he was the only one in the Ye Family who knew the truth.
To be honest, this action absolutely surpassed the Ye Family’s original expectations.
After all, they initially just wanted to frame the Jin Family and Kong Family’s Purple Mansion, leading to the death of one or two Purple Mansion cultivators, but they hadn’t expected the Kong Family Ancestor and Jin Family Ancestor to secretly infiltrate the Ye Family’s county and town.
They were discovered by the Silver Moon Demon King.
In this way, the Ye Family had nothing to do with the beast tide anymore.
Even if there’s denial, it would be the Jin Family and Kong Family doing the denial.
However, the more critical the moment, the more Ye Jingcheng felt he had to act out this play.
Indeed, he even felt that if the beast tide ended, the development opportunities for the Ye Family would be greater, and by then, nothing would hold back the Ye Family.
For him, it would also be a chance to break through to the Purple Mansion without worries.
For a long time, escape light appeared in the distance, along with various beast roars, and a copper coin flew over from the sky.
There were very few cultivators on the copper coin, not many.
Besides the Taiyi Sect Elder and Master Tianfu that Ye Jingcheng had seen before, there was only the Jin Family Ancestor, Jin Chengyun.
However, at this moment, Jin Chengyun was barely alive, his body covered in knife scars.
The knife scars resembled fish scales, seemingly caused by the Silver Moon Demon King using the Silver Moon Scale Saber.
“Ancestor!” Jin Zongliang hurriedly opened the array, a mix of fear and bewilderment reflected in his eyes.
He was unaware of his ancestor’s whereabouts and initially didn’t believe it.
But now, it proves that what Ye Jingcheng said was true.
“Greetings, Master Tianfu, and all esteemed elders!” Jin Zongliang, after assisting Jin Chengyun with sorrow, began to bow to the True Masters and Ascendants.
Master Tianfu, wearing a purple robe, appeared somewhat desolate despite his large figure.
“The other members of the Ye Family probably left with Lingyun Peak. Here are some Spirit-Blocking Robe fragments left from the self-destruction!” Master Tianfu produced a few pieces of clothing.
These fragments were clearly not from a single robe, indicating a significant number of Ye Family members self-destructed.
Though self-destruction of a cultivator’s Spirit Platform does not affect others, as the physical changes are drastic, it is quite effective against demon beasts, and it protected the Ye Clan members with a semblance of vitality.
“My condolences, but rest assured, as long as I am here, I will protect your Ye Family!” Master Tianfu solemnly declared.
He then ascended to the peak of Cyan Willow Mountain and retrieved an Array Disc, beginning to set up the array.
The beast tide had not ended.
The Silver Moon Demon King had not withdrawn.
Next, Cyan Willow Mountain and Cyan Willow Lake would serve as the defense line against the beast tide.
If Cyan Willow Mountain fell, a large part of Taihang Commandery’s mortals would perish to the beasts.
By then, even if the beast tide ended, Taihang Commandery would be half-ruined.
“The beast tide this time is quite strange; everyone be cautious and keep your spirits up to eleven!” declared the Tianzhen Ascendant.
Though he was a Tier Three Top-Grade Array Master, interfering with a Tier Four Array was beyond his capability.
Supreme Taihao also approached Ye Jingcheng.
“Change is coming; Master Gu Xiang from the Kong Family has perished, devoured by the Silver Moon Demon King!” This statement from Supreme Taihao left Ye Jingcheng stunned.
“Of course, your Lingyun Peak is practically ruined now,” Supreme Taihao added.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s discomfort, Supreme Taihao offered no more than needed, inquiring if the sect should relocate some Early Stage Qi Cultivation family members to the Taichang Market.
Ye Jingcheng had nearly eighty people here, with almost forty being youths at the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation.
Nearly all were Immortal Seedlings rising in the past six years.
Fortunately, the Ye Family had ascended once before the beast tide; otherwise, losing so many mortals would have severely impacted the next Immortal Ascension Conference.
As the Ye Family members hesitated, Master Tianfu had already completed setting up the Tier Four Array and flew beside Cyan Willow Lake to begin restoring True Essence.
The Jin Family Ancestor went alongside him.
Jin Zongliang’s expression became extremely grim.
Suddenly, they realized controlling the Chu Family’s lands was of little consequence.
The Jin Family Ancestor suffered severe injuries at this critical juncture, potentially reducing his combat power by seventy percent.
Moreover, being a Fake Pill cultivator entailed a gap compared to a true Golden Core.
Yet, the sole good news was the demise of the Kong Family Ancestor.
This equally represented great potential.
In the distance, the sound of the beast tide continuously surged, echoing from the mountains.
The Great Demons did not immediately charge forward.
Perhaps after a surprise invasion, they had feasted well and now let the Tier One and Two Demon Beasts slowly advance.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng sensed many Tier One Demon Snakes and Tier One Earth Lizards being led by Tier Two Demon Beasts rushing toward them using his Divine Sense.
His current Divine Sense was just slightly weaker than a Purple Mansion cultivator.
This scenario was equally noted by Jin Zongliang.
He glanced at the Tianzhen Ascendant.
“It’s time to battle, clear the surroundings; we lack enough preparation for this beast tide and cannot let them advance prematurely!” replied the Tianzhen Ascendant.
After all, this was the Qing Liu Jin Family branch, counting all cultivators from both the Ye Family and Jin Family, there were only around three hundred people.
When facing such a massive beast tide, allowing them to pile up before Cyan Willow Mountain could lead to a breakthrough.
“Also, keep an eye out for Earth Attribute Demon Beasts that may burst forth!” added Supreme Taihao.
Currently, the Taiyi Sect Elder naturally would not intervene.
The responsibility to deal with the Tier One and Two cultivators fell upon the Ye Clan and Kong Clan members.
At that moment, Jin Yutang also stepped forward.
At such a juncture, everyone held an undeniable responsibility.
He began selecting fast-moving cultivators from the Jin Family.
Similarly, Ye Jingcheng: “Jing Li and Jing Tai!” Ye Jingcheng called upon Ye Clan members, dedicating reinforcements, the Jin Family sends out people, so naturally the Ye Family must too.
“Along with Jing Hu, Jing Ting!” Ye Jingcheng declared.
This surprised everyone.
Ye Jing Hu was fine, being at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, but Ye Jingting was only at Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer.
Together with others from the Ye Family, they formed a fifteen-member team.
The only Foundation Establishment cultivators were Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jing Li.
Both stepped forward.
The Alchemy Master, Ye Jing Yun, stayed behind.
Meanwhile, the remaining inner hall members of the Ye Family looked toward Ye Jing Hu.
Prove to be a Ye Family genius on the battlefield.
Ye Jing Hu, eighteen years old, had a tiger-like appearance and was quite similar to Ye Jing Yong, but his eyes were sharp and astute.
His reputation in the Ye Family was equally significant.
Meanwhile, Ye Jing Ting was brought from Cyan Cloud Town, the granddaughter of the former town leader who passed away three years ago.
Ye Jingting’s Spirit Root was not ideal, but her tenacity in cultivation surpassed even Ye Jingcheng at his age; her determination was fierce, exhibiting impressive skills on Lingyun Peak.
Moreover, her proficiency in Talisman Making was exceptional, enabling her to reach Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer at eighteen.
Though she recently broke through, facilitated by the Cyan Grain Technique, she is considered an inspirational example among young cultivators.
Her character perfectly suited for Beast Communication.
Today’s battle for them would be a Beast Communication Pattern battle.
Those who succeeded would receive the Beast Communication Pattern; failure would leave them ordinary despite being rescued.
With few family members left, the Ye Family needed to expand their Beast Communication Pattern.
It is known the Ye Family collected Spirit Beast Cubs from Wangyue Lake, largely given to Hidden Peak but some retained.
Additionally, the agenda includes Ye Family’s Water Rank, Golden Tier, and Earth Rank Pills, along with the completed Spirit Beast Souls supplement from the Beast Communication Tower.
Solidifying the situation would herald rapid development for the Ye Family.
Yet, from outsiders’ perspective, it seemed disheartening.
They felt the Ye Family was devoid of resources.
But such perception was what Ye Jingcheng aimed to generate.
“Go!” Ye Jingcheng unleashed his Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast.
Even then, he instructed the Red Flame Fox to conceal one of its tails.
Nonetheless, the twin-tailed Red Flame Fox demonstrated immense power.
The Golden Scale Beast’s Golden Armor glowed remarkably, its size exceeding other Golden Scale Beasts in the beast tide.
