Ye Jingcheng tightened security around the Ye Family after its Ice Spiritual Root was exposed, met the gifted Ye Qingshuang, and sent the Wan Family cultivators to investigate a teleportation array. The Wan Family’s plan went disastrously wrong when the ten were captured by the Celestial Corpse Sect, which did not know Wan Hongchang and began preparing to turn them into Living Corpses.
