Chapter 686: Chapter 515: Arrival of Celestial Blessing (Double-Length)
Above the Jade Dragon Valley, with every wolf howl, one Cyan Wind Wolf after another descended with the wind, carrying the corpses of other Cyan Wind Wolves in their mouths as they swiftly retreated.
Some even carried the bodies of cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, the whole mountain ridge was left with nothing but countless battered and pitted holes.
Ye Jingli clutched his arm, frustration mingling with helplessness on his lips, as Ye Jingyun approached.
“Sixth Brother, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Old Jiu, this Beast Tide was truly frustrating!” Ye Jingli couldn’t help but curse.
In the past, each time they overcame a Beast Tide, they would leave behind some Demon Beast corpses, from which each clan and sect would reap some benefits.
The Ye Family’s Spirit Beasts could also feast on some Spirit Beast Meat.
But now, this group of Cyan Wind Wolves came and went like the wind, practically toying with Jade Dragon Valley, occasionally launching sneak attacks. Each time they broke through an array, a large number of cultivators would die, and the Ye Family has already lost over a dozen people.
Don’t think seven or eight is a small amount; after all, the Ye Family only brought a little over forty people, all of whom were cultivators above the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.
And the death of Spirit Beasts was even greater.
Nearly twice that of cultivators.
At this rate, the strength that the Ye Family accumulated over the past decade would be exhausted in this battle.
“Wait!” Ye Jingyun gave Ye Jingli a meaningful look.
They had already received news from the family’s Void Spirit Ridge.
They just needed to wait until the real Beast Tide was on the verge of attacking Lingyun Peak from a hundred miles away to request support and retreat to Lingyun Peak.
As long as they returned to Lingyun Peak, they wouldn’t become the breakthrough point for the Beast Tide.
It was clear that the Taiyi Sect was somewhat isolating their Ye Family.
He didn’t know the reason for the Taiyi Sect’s actions, nor was he sure if the cultivators from Illusion Peak really hadn’t come.
But since both Master Tianfu and Tianzhen Ascendant were here, it shouldn’t be like this.
“Jingting, assist Qingfeng and Qingwen in setting up some Array Discs. Be vigilant against another Cyan Wind Wolf attack!” Ye Jingyun continued.
He then handed over the Spirit Beast Bag containing the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect to Ye Jingting!
The Ye Family had managed to hold on for so long because they had set up many arrays, consumed a lot of Spirit Materials, and used quite a few Purple Sky Talismans.
Now that they finally had a breather, they naturally needed to set things up again.
“Yes, Brother Jiu!” Over time, Ye Jingting had matured considerably.
The once timid little girl had long become a cultivator of the Jing Generation, capable of handling matters on her own!
She led a group, working in teams of three, heading into the mountains to set up arrays.
…
In a grand hall within Jade Dragon Valley, Tianzhen Ascendant watched as Ye Xingming and a middle-aged Taiyi Sect disciple entered together.
Other Purple Mansion cultivators of the Taiyi Sect were also present.
These were responsible for the protection of the entire Jade Dragon Valley.
If the True Masters were the valley’s Guardian combat power, capable of deterring the Demon Race, then these Purple Mansion cultivators were the true core of the forces guarding the Taiyi Sect’s arrays.
Without the array’s protection, the losses for each clan and low-tier cultivators would increase by several fold.
“You say the Earth Dragon Valley is approaching the Ye Family from the Void Spirit Ridge, planning to break through the Jin Family’s Cyan Willow Mountain just like last time and then encircle Jade Dragon Valley?”
“Reporting to Martial Uncle, I witnessed it firsthand; the entire Ye Family is already contemplating retreating as they advance!” The Taiyi Sect disciple, who had been urging Ye Jingcheng, reported.
Although it was usually difficult to push, with this situation, it suddenly became less burdensome.
After all, with the Ye Family in trouble, there’s no reason to rush them.
The Taiyi Sect could recruit affiliated forces, but the premise was that the affiliated forces’ Clan Mountain must be safe.
If the Earth Dragon Valley attacked from the Void Spirit Ridge, then the safety of Lingyun Peak would drop to the lowest level.
Moreover, with the previous attack by the Silver Moon Demon King, the Earth Dragon Demon King would surely find it easier!
“Understood. All of you stand by for orders. If there is a new command, I will transmit it to you!” Tianzhen Ascendant nodded.
He didn’t issue a direct order but instead headed to the rear hall, where the four True Masters resided.
However, it wasn’t four True Masters this time, but five.
In addition to Master Xuandao, Master Miaofa, Master Tianfu, and Master Cheng Xuan, there was also True Master San Yuan.
Seeing True Master San Yuan, Tianzhen Ascendant finally felt relieved.
He bowed repeatedly.
“Master, Martial Uncle San Yuan, Martial Uncle Cheng Xuan, Martial Uncle Miaofa, Martial Uncle Xuandao, I have learned of the Earth Dragon Demon King’s intentions!”
“He likely intends to have his Demon Beast clan feign an attack on the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak and the Jin Family’s Cyan Willow Mountain!”
“And his main force, hidden within Chixia Ridge, is waiting for an opportunity with the Cyan Wind Wolves’ clan to deliver a heavy blow to our Jade Dragon Valley!” Tianzhen Ascendant explained.
At this moment, the True Masters remained silent, particularly Master Tianfu, who was furrowing his brows and contemplating deeply.
“Then what’s your opinion on defense?” asked the newly arrived True Master San Yuan.
He had come from the Taichang Mountain Range and knew the least about this place.
“Reporting to Martial Uncle, in my opinion, we should send a decoy to Lingyun Peak while the main body remains in Jade Dragon Valley, and conceal the fact that Martial Uncle has arrived. This way, we can deliver a heavy blow to the Cyan Wind Wolf King. The Cyan Wind Wolf clan has been rampant in the Cyan Wind Wolf Plain for too long, and if we don’t severely injure them, they might think we, the Taiyi Sect, are vulnerable and launch a full-scale attack on Taihang Commandery!” Tianzhen Ascendant suggested.
“And if the Earth Dragon Demon King joins forces with the Silver Moon Demon King for a large-scale invasion?” Master Cheng Xuan inquired further.
“Then we retreat to Cyan Willow Mountain, abandon the Lingyun Peak and Buqing Mountain area, and let the Wei Family and Cyan Cloud Nunnery fully guard Cyan Willow Mountain, continuing our previous policy!”
“And at Jade Dragon Valley, we will destroy Chixia Ridge in one fell swoop, kill the Three-eyed Demon King, and drive out the Cyan Wind Wolf King!” Tianzhen Ascendant concluded.
