Before the ancestral shrine on Sky Shadow Peak, a massive incense burner with beast-shaped handles stood at the center of the square.
Billowing sandalwood smoke formed a dragon that soared into the sky and coiled above the hall, its fury plain to see.
Cultivators entered the square one after another, their steps hurried but their expressions utterly solemn.
Before the hall stood countless memorial tablets. Those placed there this time bore the names of Ye Family cultivators whose deaths had been caused, directly or indirectly, by Penglai.
The blood-red lettering embodied thousands of years of hatred!
Ye Jingcheng, Ye Qingnian, Ye Xuecang, and Ye Xuefan had also emerged from seclusion and taken their places at the very front, all four standing with solemn dignity.
Their journey to the Eastern Region would both secure the Ye Family's foundation of immortality and avenge its wrongs. Naturally, they had to report it to the Ye Family's ancestors.
Of course, not every member of the Ye Family could enter this square. Only those at Purple Palace or above could take part in exterminating the demonic sects. Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators could only clear the battlefield once the outcome was settled.
This time, the Ye Family's campaign against the demonic sects would not merely smash through Penglai's gates and kill one or two Spirit Transformation cultivators. They intended to uproot Penglai's foundations and utterly crush its legacy.
The Ye Family would even uproot some of its subordinate sects.
Among them were the Heavenly Water Sect, the Green River Sect, the Beast Spirit Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect...
These were all forces that had once slaughtered Ye Family members and mortals in the Eastern Region.
Every Lineage member who entered instinctively bowed in respect.
Then Ye Qingfeng, Ye Tengming, and Ye Tengchuan entered.
