Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 444: Chapter 390: Slaughter Unleashed, True Master Compelled

Just like cultivation, alternating between exertion and relaxation is more beneficial.

And hatred also needs to be vented.

This moment is undoubtedly the best situation.

Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox each found Tier Two Demon Beasts.

The targets were the Red Moon Python and Silver Moon Python within the Beast Tide. Although they were currently resisting the Beast Tide, Ye Jingcheng hadn’t forgotten that, apart from the Golden Falcon, the one with the most hope of breaking through to Tier Three was the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

So the plan was to collect enough Water Attribute Spirit Beast Meat to first allow the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to break through to Tier Three.

This was Ye Jingcheng’s primary plan going forward.

A Tier Three Half-Flood Dragon, even among Tier Three Demon Beasts, is definitely not weak.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat worried, as the Golden Scale Beast preferred slaying Tier Two Golden Armor Beasts and Earth Lizards, which might delay his plans.

But before him, the Golden Scale Beast didn’t even glance at those Earth Attribute Demon Beasts, focusing exclusively on charging at the Tier Two Red Moon Python and Tier Two Silver Moon Python.

Its skin was covered in a thick layer of Golden Armor, so even if it was struck by the Tier Two Silver Moon Python, it merely wobbled a bit.

And continued to fight ferociously.

With each Tier Two Python Demon it slew, it roared three times.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but shake his head, seemingly having underestimated the grudge the Golden Scale Beast held against the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon…

With the Demon Beasts being cleansed circle by circle, and the Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox unleashing full power, Ye Jingcheng focused even more on leading the overall situation.

He wasn’t rushing, as this defensive strategy wasn’t difficult, and currently, the Great Demons hadn’t appeared; these were merely demon beast fodder.

There weren’t many pure-bred Golden Lizards and Silver Moon Python Great Demons, instead, miscellaneous demon beast types were appearing in droves.

At this time, he needed to ensure the family’s completeness.

The family’s cultivators were already few, and with the resources in his Storage Ring, they were more than enough.

Once this Beast Tide was over, the Ye Family would experience unprecedented growth.

But for Ye Jingcheng, he had to be more cautious, as he wouldn’t have Ye Xingliu or Ye Haicheng to guide him from behind in the short term.

One could say the family had placed absolute trust in him.

The Ye Clan’s older generation left behind very few, now only Ye Xinghe stationed in Taihang Market, and Ye Haiyi stationed in Buqing Mountain; others were either elders of the Xing Generation or the Jing Generation.

Moreover, Ye Haiyi’s days were numbered.

Currently, anyone in the Ye Family could stand out, but he could not.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t employ any formidable secret techniques, just simply used the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed, paired with Ironthorn Wood and supported by the Eternal Green Sword.

Yet with just the control of the Cyan Wood Spirit Seed and the assist of the Eternal Green Sword, Ye Jingcheng displayed immense power.

Fierce Sword Light and omnipresent Ironthorn Wood.

Also led to the Ye Clan’s side slaughtering a significant number of Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts.

The distant Beast Tide finally stopped advancing.

“Brother Liu, don’t chase!” Watching the dissipating Beast Tide, Ye Jingcheng called Ye Jingli, who wanted to pursue them, back.

He was currently full of murderous intent, seemingly ready for a death-defying battle, but his Spiritual Light was somewhat dim, clearly indicating a lack of Spiritual Power.

“First clean up the battlefield. Uncle Xingshui, record the Spirit Beasts that died among the clan members. For any dead Spirit Beast, provide extra compensation with the Beast Corpse. This time, the family will not extract anything from the Spirit Beast Corpses; distribute them according to performance!” Ye Jingcheng instructed again. This time was just a warm-up, no clan members perished, but several Spirit Beasts inevitably died.

These words brought joy to the faces of some of the Ye Clan members who participated in the battle.

But even so, their smiles faded quickly.

The Beast Tide’s advance to Cyan Willow Mountain meant that Buqing Mountain, Cloud Valley, and Lingyun Peak had all fallen into the hands of the Beast Tide.

They lost all their clan mountains.

“Return to the Array first!” Ye Jingcheng glanced at the harvest, estimating that they slew no less than ten Tier Two Demon Beasts and no less than a hundred Tier One Demon Beasts.

Don’t think it’s too few; after all, these are invaluable Demon Beasts.

Sometimes the Beast Tide is both a crisis and an opportunity.

Without Great Demons driving so many Demon Beasts, it would be extremely dangerous for ordinary cultivators to visit the Taihang Mountain Range for such hunting.

After confirming and tallying, Ye Jingcheng immediately led everyone back to Cyan Willow Mountain’s Array.

Under his Divine Sense, he sensed the outer Beast Tide growing more numerous.

For cunning Demon Kings and Great Demons, they would deploy all Great Demons in pursuit of cultivators.

When attacking clan mountains or cities, they would use Beast Sea tactics to exhaust Arrays and deplete the strength of defending cultivators.

Waiting for a chance to break through.

If the Beast Tide came aggressively, it meant it wouldn’t last long.

But if it came cautiously and methodically, one must be even more mindful of this Beast Tide.

“Be cautious; this Beast Tide might last quite a while!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng and others return, Supreme Taihao softly transmitted a reminder.

Regarding Ye Jingcheng, Supreme Taihao found him increasingly impressive upon closer look.

No wonder Master Tianfu had such a high appraisal of Ye Jingcheng. His recent experiences in Magical Combat surpassed many Sect Foundation Establishment realm cultivators from the Taiyi Sect.

Additionally, he had two formidable Spirit Beasts, which also seemed to have reached mid to late-stage Tier Two.

He couldn’t help but show a bias towards Ye Jingcheng.

“Thank you, Elder Taihao.” Ye Jingcheng nodded, his face showing no additional expression.

Instead, he continued organizing the Ye Family’s cultivators, starting to recover Spiritual Energy on the city walls, feeding the Spirit Beasts, and healing the Spirit Beasts.

He didn’t even bother to conceal this fact, as if Ye Jingcheng, as the Patriarch, was unaware until Ye Xingshui beside him reminded him to activate some Spirit Separation Arrays.

This scene made Jin Yutang from the Jin Family and others naturally feel that Ye Jingcheng was somewhat inexperienced.

But in fact, Ye Jingcheng was informing everyone else that the Ye Family had nothing special.

It was only that they had conducted more research on Spirit Beasts and raised a few more Spirit Beasts.

As for anything else, perhaps only Ye Jing Hu might seem to have some talent.

But under Ye Jingcheng’s instructions, Ye Jing Hu didn’t unleash Thunder Magic this time.

Only directed a Thunder Spear.

So even if people speculated, they could only guess that now, with Master Tianfu watching over the Ye Family, coupled with severe losses, no one would make an unwise move against the Ye Family at this time.

And at this moment, several Spiritual Ships appeared in the sky behind them.

Upon closer inspection, they were the forces and cultivators from Taihang Market.

At a glance, there seemed to be no less than two thousand people.

Mostly loose cultivators, family cultivators were a minority, given that the Jin Family and Kong Family were both in action and the remaining cultivators from the Chu Family and Xu Family had fled.

But it was extremely difficult to define how many among these loose cultivators were spies and how many were genuine loose cultivators.

Leading the Spiritual Ships was Master Miaofa from Taiyi Purple Peak, wearing a Taiyi Daoist Robe and exuding an aura of righteousness.

However, the expressions of the cultivators behind him were not the same.

Due to the influx of cultivators into Taihang Market and its extreme disorder, many Blood Cultivators and Demon Cultivators were present, alongside numerous spies from other Cultivation Kingdom sects.

Previously, it wasn’t feasible to thoroughly investigate, but now it was just the right moment as Master Miaofa brought them all over bundled together.

With the arrival of the Beast Tide, every cultivator had the responsibility and duty to resist it.

On the Spiritual Ship, Ye Jingcheng also saw Ye Jingyong, his wife Chu Yanliu, and their son Ye Wen, along with over ten members of the Ye Family at Taihang Market.

Ye Wen, now ten years old, had reached the age for Spirit Root testing.

Being brought along by them, the likelihood of possessing a Spirit Root was high.

Besides the Spiritual Ships from Taihang Market, Spiritual Ships from the Kong Family were also visible in the distance.

While the Jin Family cultivators appeared merely dispirited, the Kong Family cultivators appeared even more sullen.

The Jade Talismans belonging to each family’s patriarch contained vital information and had dedicated cultivators guarding them to ensure the family could react first in an emergency.

Under normal circumstances, the Kong Family would retreat immediately.

However, the Kong Family had already established a branch in Taihang Commandery and forcibly annexed the Xu Family.

Now, even if they wanted to retract their family’s influence, they were unable to.

They could only hope for the Taiyi Sect’s continued support, leading to the birth of a new Golden Core as soon as possible.

But how could a new Golden Core be birthed so easily?

And the Taiyi Sect’s level of support or more terrifying surreptitious infiltration were different matters.

Of course, the views of the cultivators on the Spiritual Ships didn’t matter.

For Ye Jingcheng, numerous formidable cultivators had arrived this time. If during this wave, they could defend against the Beast Tide’s impact on Cyan Willow Mountain, perhaps the Ye Family could ensure the survival of tens of thousands of mortals in the Cyan Willow Mountain region.

Lingyun Peak and Buqing Mountain could also be resurrected quickly.

The fate of the Ye Family in Yan Kingdom and Taihang Commandery could be preserved as much as possible.

If so, it would undoubtedly be much easier for him.
