Taking Action
As Ye Xingliu left, the sky over the entire area near Soaring Cloud Peak darkened.
The entire sky was filled with the coolness of early autumn.
The dark clouds loomed heavy, like a black mountain pressing down on Soaring Cloud Peak.
Everyone felt a sense of oppression.
Whoosh!
Without realizing it, even though he was resting with his eyes closed in his room, Ye Jingcheng heard the sudden downpour.
The rain was heavy, and the Jade Ring Rat escaped the Array again, chasing after the moths.
It seems they are demonstrating their combat power.
In the sky, eagle-like Spirit Beasts soared into the high heavens once more.
Logically speaking, with such heavy rain, it's not suitable for Spirit Beasts to fly high into the sky.
But to do it in this way is quite unusual.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Lineage Token, glanced at it, and found no new information.
Then he glanced at the Jade-Scale Snake, which was in seclusion in the room next door. If the Jade-Scale Snake were here, this rainy day would be a perfect opportunity for it to shine.
Soon, the Array in the sky also isolated the rainwater from Soaring Cloud Peak.
The moths that had floated out were all somewhat stunned.
Ye Jingcheng, however, thought it was normal.
At this time, it is really not suitable for rain to nourish the mountain peaks.
He stepped out of the house and into the spirit field, where he summoned over four hundred Five Poison Bees, which flew towards the vicinity of Soaring Cloud Peak.
Although the Five Poison Bees are not very effective at reconnaissance.
But these are extraordinary times, and even a little warning would be a good thing.
After the Five Poison Bees spread throughout some of the smaller checkpoints on Soaring Cloud Peak, they also covered some nearby peaks and forests.
They hid under some leaves, secretly watching the rain.
Ye Jingcheng felt much more at ease.
The rain was still falling, and there were noticeable changes on the mountain peaks.
After a moment's thought, Ye Jingcheng used a sound transmission talisman to send a message to Ye Haiyun.
However, the latter allowed him to prepare quietly.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt even more at ease.
If Ye Haiyun, as an elder in the clan, was so at ease, he had no reason to worry, especially with the Five Poison Bees issuing a warning.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng summoned the Jade Ring Rat and had it lie outside the door. Its ears were quite sensitive, so it could transmit information immediately.
Having done all that, he continued his research on the Pill Formula.
The pharmacology of second- Pill Formula formulas is more complex than that of first- Pill Formulas, requiring the harmonization of more medicinal properties, varying dissolving temperatures, and different manifestations of the pill's properties...
However, Ye Jingcheng's contemplation today was not very effective, partly due to the incessant rain and partly due to his elder brother's telepathic communication.
His elder brother received the information, so it's impossible that he was an inside agent.
It is highly likely that the Li Family, the Chen Family, and the sect had made arrangements.
They sought some conveniences.
Therefore, the Li Family and the Chen Family will definitely take action during this period.
However, after a whole day of studying the Ye Jingcheng Pill Formula, there was not a single movement on Soaring Cloud Peak.
Because of the long rain, birds in the mountains were chirping.
When it rains, ordinary birds cannot fly.
The latter half of the night is equally thought-provoking.
It seems that those in the shadows are still worried that Ye Xingliu might launch a surprise attack.
Two more days passed.
The Dark Clouds in the sky finally showed signs of dissipating, and a hint of white appeared.
The rain became sparse.
Just then, Ye Jingcheng felt that several of his Five Poison Bees suddenly lost their Blood Pact connection. At the same time, the Jade Ring Rat began to stand up, its jade ears flapping loudly.
Ye Jingcheng picked up the token, only to find that an emergency defense order had already appeared inside.
In addition to the defense order, bells also rang out in the sky.
The bell tolls once, then twice!
It was struck nine times in total.
All the cultivators flew out of the house and looked towards the front of the mountain.
The enemy advanced extremely quickly, and had already killed many of the Demon Beasts prepared by the Ye Family.
Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bees were among them.
What came into view was not enemy cultivators, but groups of hairy, refining corpses.
These corpses all appeared to be in the late stage of the first rank, numbering as many as seventy or eighty. Some were corpses of Spirit Beasts, while others were corpses of human cultivators.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all fearless and would not stop even if they were clawed by Spirit Beasts and bled profusely, or if their bodies were broken by Fireball Technique, wind blades, or ground spikes.
On the contrary, it will be even more ferocious!
The second-tier Blood Hawk in the sky was currently fighting against an unknown second-tier giant bat corpse!
"All late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, go and hold off the first-tier refined corpses! We must not let them get close, as the blood of these refined corpses can contaminate the Array!" In the sky, Ye Haiyun landed on a Spirit Boat and calmly issued one command after another!
The cultivators from the Ye Family also rushed out.
Among them were familiar faces to Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingli Ye Jingyong, Ye Jingli, Ye Jingfeng, and Ye Jingfeng Ye Jingyun; the "Xing" generation included Ye Xingqun, Ye Xinghan, and others...
There are even more Spirit Beasts: Blood-Patterned Leopard, Flying Cloud Leopard, Golden Jade Eagle, and Azure-Scaled Python.
In an instant, it was as if all the beasts had descended from the mountain, creating a tremendous commotion.
There are creatures that fly in the air, run on the ground, and if there were rivers flowing through them, there would also be Demon Beast swimming in the water.
At the same time, a Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger leaped down from the mountain peak. It was extremely fast and landed in front of the other group of Demon Beasts in just a few breaths.
"Roar!" The Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger roared and was about to charge into the group of corpses.
But then, a green-armored corpse appeared from the horde of corpses. This was also a second-tier refined corpse, and it headed straight for the Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger.
If the battle between cultivators is a clash of Law Artifacts and Law Technique, then the battle between Demon Beasts and corpse refiners is a bloody struggle of physical bodies.
Its fists and claws aimed straight for vital points, but whenever the green-armored corpse was at a disadvantage, it would spit out a large amount of green poisonous mist and shoot out many green needles.
These green needles have extremely strong penetrating power.
Even Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger would have to dodge.
Just then, a ripple appeared, and countless spikes appeared beneath the feet of the green-haired corpse.
These spikes were huge and sharp, and they actually pierced through the green-haired corpse, pinning it to the spot.
Beside them, the figure of Five-Colored Venom Lizard also appeared; clearly, the ground spikes from earlier were released by the Lizard Elder.
The Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger lit up at the sight, and with a roar, it soared into the air, clawing at the heart of the green-armored corpse.
Corpse refiners are more fearless and ruthless than cultivators, but they also have a major flaw: they have a corpse core in their chest, which is similar to the inner core of Demon Beast.
However, while Demon Beasts can survive without their inner cores, corpses without their inner cores become true corpses. Even if they are reactivated using Secret Method, their power is only like that of an ordinary corpse, and they no longer possess any power.
However, the sharp spikes began to corrode under the blood of the green-haired corpse.
The green-haired corpse roared furiously, unleashing countless poisonous mists that obscured its form, and from within the mists shot out numerous green-haired corpse needles.
On the contrary, the Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger was stabbed in several places, and its roar was quite shrill.
Fortunately, the last claw managed to strike half of the green-armored corpse's body.
Half of the corpse's flesh was removed.
They fought to a standstill.
The Five Poison Lizard beside him was about to make another move when a line of emerald green poison shot towards it.
It had no choice but to dodge away and turn its head to look in that direction.
Suddenly, a gigantic black venomous spider-like corpse appeared there.
It charged toward the Five Poison Lizard with eight enormous black legs, baring its fangs and releasing venom!
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Overall, however, the Ye Family still holds the advantage.
But just then, another humanoid zombie emerged from the shadows. This humanoid zombie was even more difficult to deal with, being a mid-stage second-tier zombie.
The pressure from the Blue-eyed Hanging-eyed Tiger and the Five Poison Lizard has increased once again.
The situation of the entire Ye Family has begun to change. Even though the Ye Family's Qi Refining cultivators are overwhelmingly powerful, if their second-tier combat strength collapses, the outcome this time will still be the destruction of the mountain and the extinction of the clan.
"Everyone, retreat three zhang!" Ye Haiyun roared in the air as he activated the mountain-protecting formation.
Twelve Mountain Spirit blades materialized in the sky.
Each spirit blade was three zhang long and radiated the spiritual power of a second-stage Foundation Establishment.
With a soft shout, twelve spirit blades slashed towards the group of corpses.
In an instant, a large number of first-tier refined corpses fell, while among the second-tier refined corpses, the green-armored corpse and the mid-stage second-tier refined corpse took out various corpse tablets and magical Law Artifacts, while the black spider refined corpse burrowed into the ground!
In the shadows, two figures quietly approached.
They observed for a long time and found that the Ye Family was indeed as they had guessed.
There were no other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Do it!"
One of them immediately took out Formation-Breaking Talisman and slapped it towards the Array!
