Household Ye

"Jiang Yufeng, are you crazy?! Cave Heavens are the foundation of any sect! The number of Cave Heavens a sect has often means the number of Celestial Immortals that can be born in the future. You actually want to hand over such a crucial foundation to someone else?!"

As soon as he finished speaking about the Gu Jinlai, Ye Yunguang immediately shouted.

"Shut up!"

Yun Zhenzhen glared at Ye Yunguang, his aura surging. "Do you Ye family really consider the Creation Sect your own home? Why did the Creation Sect erupt into civil war sixty years ago? Wasn't it because your Ye family was the only one in power, colluding to exclude others and trying to devour all the benefits of the sect? And now it's the same. It was clearly Jiang Yufeng who obtained the cave heaven first, yet you people kept pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks. Do you have to sever the declining lineage of the Creation Sect before you're satisfied?"

"You... you're talking nonsense! My Ye family has worked diligently for the development of the Creation Sect, never daring to slack off in the slightest. Non-Self Uncle Ye Yan supporting the Creation Sect, it would probably have been devoured by the surrounding factions. What's wrong with me protecting the assets of our Creation Sect right now?!"

As Ye Yunguang spoke, he turned to Gu Jinlai and said sternly, "On the contrary, the Jiang family is trying every means to move the resources that belong to my Creation Sect out of the country. Now they are even willing to give up the foundation of the sect, such as the Cave Heaven. This is the real act of squandering the family's wealth!"

Gu Jinlai frowned. "Although my brother has provided some assistance to the Jiang family over the years, how much of it has actually been in terms of supplies? You can tell from the fact that the Jiang family, apart from me, has not produced a single Mahayana. Yet, he has worked diligently for the sect for the past thirty years, devoting himself to stabilizing the sect's situation. Even if he were to accept a stipend, it would be equivalent to the amount of supplies he has given to the Jiang family, wouldn't it?"

"Offering him a stipend? If it weren't for his great-uncle's tireless cultivation, how could Jiang Yujian have attained immortality? His great-uncle has invested so many resources in him, shouldn't he contribute to the Creation Sect? Otherwise, wouldn't he be an ungrateful wretch!"

Ye Yunguang said in an unquestionable tone, "In short, I will not agree to hand over the grotto-heaven, which is the foundation of the sect, to others!"

"That's not up to you!"

Yun Zhenzhen snorted coldly, "According to the agreement of our sixteen major forces, whoever conquers Baihe City and Hongyun Sect's territory will own it. Right now, Baihe City, Hongyun Sect, and the sect's grotto-heaven are all occupied by Jiang Yufeng alone. He has absolute control over the grotto-heaven and Baihe City."

"As you said yourself, it was an agreement between the sixteen major powers! Jiang Yufeng is a Dao Child of my Creation Sect, and he was able to achieve the Mahayana through the cultivation of my Creation Sect. His things naturally belong to my Creation Sect, and how to deal with them is up to my Creation Sect!"

"You want to use your power to intimidate me?! You're not qualified, you're just a Dao Proving Realm cultivator!"

Yun Zhenzhen waved his hand and said loudly, "Jiang Yufeng will decide how to deal with this cave today. That's my decision."

"What you said?! What right do your words have?!"

Ye Yunguang took out a crystal, which seemed to ripple with energy. "Yun Zhen, do you really think we're afraid of you just because you're a True Immortal?! Even if Xia Yuanxing from your Cloud Soaring Sect came, he wouldn't have the right to interfere in the affairs of our Creation Sect!"

Upon seeing the crystal that Ye Yunguang had taken out, Immortal Yunzhen and the elders of the Yunxiao Sect all changed their expressions.

"A Celestial Crystal?! Or a refined Celestial Crystal?!"

Gu Jinlai, people have always focused their attention on this crystal.

The Divine Crystal of the Grotto is a more precious treasure than the Grotto Stone, and it often serves as the core of a grotto.

Due to the characteristics of its core, this precious treasure, after being refined using special methods, has another great use: it can project the power of the cave, and even the power of the Heavenly Dao within the cave, across hundreds of millions of miles.

Just like the Holy Dynasty's Zhou Tian Ju Xing Array can project power to the thirty-six outer cities.

Although the farther away the force is, the weaker it becomes, it is still enough to suppress the performance of the Cloud Soaring Sect members by one or two minor realms.

Although Yun Zhenzhen was originally a high-level True Immortal, once suppressed, he would inevitably fall to the level of an ordinary True Immortal, or even a peerless Void Immortal.

On the other hand, the Creation Sect has four Void Immortals: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. When they set up a sword formation and joined forces, they could fight against True Immortals. If True Immortal Yun Zhen were truly suppressed to the level of a peerless Void Immortal, the power between the two sides would be reversed to a 50/50 split.

Looking at the celestial crystal that Ye Yunguang had taken out, Yunzhen Zhenxian's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. "This is the way your Ye family behaves. You're like a bunch of bedbugs, crawling on the Creation Gate to suck blood, and you're still so high-sounding and self-righteous. It's disgusting."

"You outsiders have no idea how much effort our Ye family has put into maintaining the legacy of the Creation Sect."

Ye Yunguang sneered.

"So..."

Yun Zhen Zhen lowered his voice. "Your Creation Sect... do you want to start a war with our Cloud Soaring Sect?"

"It is your Cloud Soaring Sect that has gone too far in bullying my Creation Sect. My Creation Sect has no choice but to retaliate."

As Ye Yunguang spoke, he turned to Gu Jinlai and said, "You have seen the current situation. Because of your nonsense, our Creation Sect and the Cloud Soaring Sect have become irreconcilable enemies. Now, you take back your statement and take this cave heaven back to our Creation Sect. You don't want the Cloud Soaring Sect and the Creation Sect, which were originally on good terms, to fall into irreconcilable conflict and even go to war because of you, do you?"

"What a masterful use of moral blackmail! I've certainly learned something new. No wonder the Creation Sect split into two factions sixty years ago due to the constant pressure from your Ye family. Those who were truly capable were not respected, and who could bear such humiliation and had to stay in the Creation Sect?"

Gu Jinlai said, "No wonder that no matter how hard the Creation Sect has cultivated for more than sixty years, not a single True Immortal has been born. In the end, Elder Ye Yan had no choice but to turn his attention to cultivating my elder brother, making him the sect leader, and promising that he would inherit the Creation Heavenly Dao after he became a True Immortal. I guess he also knew that the Ye family was beyond saving."

"How dare you! How dare you comment on the actions of the Ye family here?! Slap him!"

Ye Yunguang's expression hardened, and he reached out to slap him.

But as soon as he made his move, Yu Xu immediately stepped forward to stop him. "Elder Yun Guang, I think it's you who's being presumptuous! Jiang Yufeng is a Dao Child of our Creation Sect. The status of a Dao Child is the same as that of an Elder. What right do you have to slap him!?"

"Yu Xu, you... you also want to be an enemy of the Ye family!?"

"Baihe City and Hongyun Sect's grotto-heaven were indeed occupied by Daozi first, so they should be dealt with by Daozi. You are holding this grotto-heaven divine crystal now to deal with the pressure from Zi Ruyan, Long Congyun and others, not for you to use to bully our allies!"

Yu Xu snorted coldly, "If you continue to act so unreasonably, I will report directly to the sect leader and ask him to ask the Grand Elder to come forward and judge the matter, to see which side he is on."

"Report to the sect leader?"

Ye Yunguang sneered, "Then why don't you report it?"

Those who have heard this Gu Jinlai have come to some conclusions.

No wonder Ye Yunguang dared to be so arrogant.

He already knew that Jiang Yujian had gone into seclusion to break through to the True Immortal Realm, and at such a crucial moment, he naturally could not be disturbed.

Besides Jiang Yujian, only a handful of members of the Ye family in the Creation Sect were qualified to meet the Supreme Elder Ye Yan directly.

That's exactly the time difference he's exploiting.

The reason why the Ye family insisted on guarding this grotto-heaven...

They were probably worried that if Jiang Yujian really broke through to the True Immortal realm and took control of the Creation Gate Cave Heaven, he would target their Ye family. Therefore, they planned to use the Red Cloud Sect Cave Heaven as a fallback for the Ye family.

In this way, even if Jiang Yujian pressed them aggressively, with this cave heaven around them, they were essentially invincible.

After all, Jiang Yujian couldn't possibly mobilize the Creation Heavenly Dao to deal with them, and even if he wanted to, Supreme Elder Ye Yan wouldn't allow it.

As long as the Heavenly Dao is not used, even if Jiang Yujian becomes a true immortal in the future, he will be unable to do anything to the Ye family lineage that possesses a grotto-heaven.

This scene Gu Jinlai.

Although saying this might be somewhat disrespectful to Ye Bingyu.

But the Ye family...

It is indeed the biggest cancer of the Creation Sect. If he really wants Jiang Yujian to control the Creation Sect and use the Creation Sect's "Creation" Heavenly Dao to massacre troops, and use the Cheng Ying mechs to sweep across the Flame River Road and even break through the Myriad Star Sword Sect, the Ye family will be an insurmountable obstacle.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "It's meaningless for us to discuss the division of the Red Cloud Sect's cave heaven right now. We still have troubles with the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon Sword Sect, and the Wind and Rain Pavilion to deal with. How about this, whoever can decide who gets to decide this cave heaven will be the one who can force these forces to back down. After all, if we don't force these forces to back down, no matter how well we discuss it, it's all just castles in the air."

As he spoke, he turned to Ye Yunguang and said, "Since you want the cave heaven, you must demonstrate your ability to protect it. If you cannot withstand the pressure from forces such as the Heavenly Fire Sect, then the Cloud Soaring Sect will take your place. If you can withstand it, then the cave heaven will belong to the Creation Sect."

Ye Yunguang considered that the reason he was able to bring this Cave Heaven Divine Crystal was to fight against the oppression of forces such as the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Dragon Sword Sect.

He immediately replied, "Okay, then so be it."

"Daozi."

Yu Xu immediately transmitted his voice. "When they can't hold on any longer, they will definitely ask Grandmaster Ye Yan to come out. At that time, Grandmaster Ye Yan will still have to clean up their messes."

"It's alright."

Gu Jinlai said, "It would be best if Ye Yan could be invited. I would like to have a good talk with this Supreme Elder."

This will relate to his second step in the plan.

When Yunzhen Zhenxian of Yunxiao Sect heard this saying from Gu Jinlai, although he felt that the hope of finding the cave heaven was becoming slim, he did not say anything more and remained silent.

Soon, dozens of auras came from the horizon.

These auras were all from the Void Immortals, with the two leading ones being none other than Zi Ruyan, a True Immortal from the Heavenly Fire Sect, and Long Congyun, a True Immortal from the Dragon Sword Sect, who had scattered and fled.

Sensing their menacing approach, the Yunxiao Sect members watched coldly from the sidelines.

Ye Yunguang waved his hand with a hint of smugness. "Let's go, let's go and meet the people from the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon Sword Sect, and the Wind and Rain Pavilion."

As he spoke, he took off into the air with a dozen or so Void Immortals and hundreds of Mahayana cultivators.

Yu Xu and Gu Jinlai followed closely behind.

Seeing the dozens of figures rapidly approaching, Ye Yunguang burst into laughter. "Hahaha, the people from the Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect, and Wind and Rain Pavilion are probably a step too late. We, the Creation Sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zi Ruyan quickly said, "We have received information that there are still remnants of the Red Cloud Sect hiding in Baihe City. On my orders, set up an array, seal off Baihe City, and dig three feet into the ground to find the remnants of the Red Cloud Sect!"
