Gongs and Drums Clash

The clear sky was a deep, unblemished blue, and a Spirit Boat slowly sailed in on the clouds.

On the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng, wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe, looked at the large figure beside him.

He hadn't expected that after all that talk, the person who came with him would be Ye Xinghe.

You should know that his Lineage had prepared many treasures for him, and he also had Spirit Beast by his side, but Ye Xinghe had none of that; he only had a body that was wider than that of an ordinary person.

Ye Xinghe's eyes still looked shrewd, and he held two Spirit Talisman in his hands, which he placed under the mast of the Spirit Boat, concealed by the sails.

"Uncle, Tiger Roar Pass is just ahead!" Ye Jingcheng said, his eyes narrowing.

Tiger Roar Pass is located between Taihang Marketplace and Soaring Cloud Peak. Inward, it connects to the plains of Taihang Commandery, while outward, it governs the mountainous counties and towns of Taihang Commandery.

Here, several mountains and valleys are connected, with only a few narrow, winding paths leading out, making the terrain treacherous.

It has always been a place where mortals are buried in war, but after the two major immortal cultivation sects rectified the mortal kingdom of the entire Yan Kingdom, it has fallen into silence ever since.

After being abandoned, it became a place where many Evil Cultivators collected corpses. It was sparsely populated, and small groups of Azure Cloud Wolves often appeared there.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is it. Jingcheng, slow down!" Ye Xinghe looked up, his expression somewhat grave.

The Spirit Boat's speed slowed down considerably before it continued its ascent into the higher void.

Only after passing through the clouds did they continue flying forward.

However, even after passing through the clouds, the next moment, they saw streaks of spiritual light flashing and weaving into a spiritual net, binding the two of them with the force of a net covering the heavens and the earth.

Ye Xinghe finally picked up the Spirit Talisman in his hand; they were two Formation-Breaking Talisman.

As one of the formation -Formation-Breaking Talisman was thrown out.

In an instant, the spiritual net tore open.

The Spirit Boat then broke through the opening and sailed out.

At the same time, a strange, bloody sound reached Ye Jingcheng's ears, and the scene before his eyes changed instantly. He seemed to have landed in a land of withered bones, ruins, and blood flowing for miles.

It was as if the war from a thousand years ago had resurfaced, and countless wronged souls roared at him.

Just then, the jade pendant around his neck slowly emitted a warm spiritual light, and his vision returned to normal.

He looked back and saw a silver needle flying towards him, not far in front of him, heading straight for his face.

The next moment, with a clang, a black cauldron landed in front of Ye Jingcheng. However, the cauldron flew away almost instantly, revealing a crack about an inch long.

The light was dim.

It should be noted that the Origin-Suppressing Cauldron was activating the defensive power of the Spirit Patterns, greatly increasing its defense, yet it was still in its current state.

This clearly demonstrates the Xiao Ke power of these silver needles.

Moreover, after breaking through the Origin-Suppressing Cauldron, the speed of the silver needles did not decrease but increased instead.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng was already prepared. With a quick pinch of his hands, a huge Profound Cold Ice Shield instantly condensed in front of him.

As soon as the Profound Cold Ice Shield condensed, everything around it was frozen, and even the gale seemed to slow down considerably.

This Secret Method was already powerful, and this time, Ye Jingcheng used the spiritual power of the Jade-Scale Snake, making it even more ferocious.

While condensing an ice shield, Ye Jingcheng also cast a layer of Stone Armor Technique on himself, his entire body enveloped in golden spiritual armor. Finally, he placed one hand on the Spirit Beast pouch and the other on the Golden Bell Shield Spirit Talisman.

The silver needles shattered the ice shield, turning into ice shards and exploding with a series of low hums.

This is, after all, just a Secret Method.

But after enough time, the Golden-Scaled Beast appeared and stood in front of the silver needles.

Even with the Stone Armor Technique, Ye Jingcheng would not risk his life.

With a clang, the Golden-Scaled Beast slammed down with its claw, finally knocking the silver needle away.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast roared as it landed on the deck of the Spirit Boat, its ferocity palpable!

Also emerging were the Lizard Elder, the Second-Order Blood Hawk, and the Crimson Flame Fox.

There were four Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts in total.

The Spirit Boat passed through the Array and continued its escape into the distance.

There is absolutely no indication that it will stay.

Sure enough, almost the instant the Spirit Boat shot out, it fell into another Array.

This Array has only one effect: endless gravity, which prevents the Spirit Boat from flying and forces it to plummet directly to the ground.

Similar to the Qi and Qi-Blood Sect of the Ye Family, except that Sand Cloud Peak's Qi-Blood Sect is based on real gravity and is natural.

It was as if an invisible hand was pulling the Spirit Boat downwards.

Ye Xinghe, standing to the side, repeatedly cast another array -Formation-Breaking Talisman.

As the mysterious array patterns of the Formation-Breaking Talisman were injected into the void, the gravity instantly decreased, and the Spirit Boat took off again.

But at this moment, they could see that there were three people coming towards them.

Judging from their figures and spiritual aura, Ye Jingcheng could easily identify two of them as Li Yufu and Li Muhe, even though they were wearing Spirit-Isolating Robes and their expressions were covered by black veils.

One of them is in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and the other is in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, so Ye Jingcheng isn't too worried.

He looked at that last figure and felt an intense pressure.

Although this person was also at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, his eyes were ghostly, and he was the one who had just cast the evil spell.

"The Mo Family?" Ye Xinghe asked tentatively.

There was no response, so he continued:

"That's the Xu Family's!"

However, the other party clearly did not fall for Ye Xinghe's probing.

His gaze remained unchanged.

"Li Family, how dare you! We have already informed the sect and will be there soon, yet you still dare to stop us!" Ye Xinghe roared, taking out a Jade Slip and crushing it instantly.

The two Li Family cultivators remained unchanged, but the remaining one with ghostly eyes who had cultivated illusion magic was greatly alarmed.

After all, they could stop or shoot down the sound transmission Spirit Talisman, but they couldn't stop the Jade Slip from being crushed by the Jade Slip, relying solely on sensing.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

The Evil Cultivator charged towards Ye Jingcheng and the others.

Whether it's true or not, we just need to hurry.

His eyes once again shot out beams of spiritual light, the color of which was similar to the ordinary blue sky, indistinguishable without close inspection.

But Ye Jingcheng knew perfectly well that this was a Secret Method.

"Close your eyes!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Both the Crimson Flame Fox and the Golden-Scaled Beast Blood Hawk closed their eyes, leaving only their Divine Senses covering them. Under their Divine Senses, they saw that the cultivator had actually taken out another gong.

There's a ghost face in the center of this gong.

Clang!

After being struck, the sound instantly transformed into a sound wave that rushed towards Ye Jingcheng and his two companions and the six beasts.

At this moment, Ye Xinghe also released two Spirit Beasts.

At the sound of the gong, the two Qi Refining Demon Beasts instantly went berserk.

Fortunately, Ye Xinghe still had some senses and instantly put away the two Qi Refining Spirit Beasts.

But he himself was also deeply influenced by the sound of the gong.

Most importantly, even the Blood Hawk and the Lizard Elder couldn't withstand it, while the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Crimson Flame Fox were able to endure it better.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also took out a Spirit-Shocking Drum and started beating it, creating a direct sound wave collision.
