Hurrying to Buqing; Strategies of Attack and Defense

The atmosphere in the entire hall was grim, especially Ye Jingyun, who had brought up the news; his face was deathly pale.

The town has at least a thousand people, and although it is near Cloud-Spreading Mountain, it used to be Li Family territory.

But after so many years of operation, many of them have Ye Family blood.

Moreover, in recent years, they have also been able to provide the Ye Family with immortal seedlings.

"Ninth Brother, this matter has little to do with you. I'll go there myself!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"If they were really going to retaliate, they should have targeted the three counties under our Ye Family's jurisdiction. The fact that they've placed it near Cloud-Spreading Mountain, which used to be Li Family territory, seems to be a way of leading us out."

"Then we'll just wait at Cloud-Spreading Mountain," Ye Jingcheng said generously, offering reassurance.

"Patriarch, the Lineage's late-stage Qi Refining cultivator has gone without a word. Could it be that another Lineage is trying to lure our Ye Family's Foundation Establishment away?" Ye Jingyun was still somewhat worried.

If the target is the Ye Family's Foundation Establishment, then going there would be extremely dangerous for someone at the Foundation Establishment.

Although Ye Jingcheng has many Spirit Beasts and his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he has not been at Foundation Establishment for very long. His foundation and methods are still weaker than those of veteran cultivators of the same cultivation level.

"I will inform my great-grandfather. I'm in the open, while he's in the shadows. Besides, this is a good opportunity for us to establish our name!"

"To avoid suspicion from outsiders!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

The Ye Family's plan to relocate mortals has only just begun, with only a few thousand people being transferred so far.

They were naturally worried that Evil Cultivator were emerging in large numbers.

But if the Ye Family establishes its authority, then the retaliation will be real retaliation!

Those Evil Cultivators no longer dared to come to the Ye Family's territory.

After all, the number of ordinary people in the Ye Family on the surface is constantly decreasing. At this time, the Ye Family is almost going to use all its strength to exterminate Evil Cultivators and Devil Cultivators!

Ye Jingcheng was so confident because he now possessed a third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse, giving him considerable strength to protect himself.

As for whether there might be Golden Core True Person secretly involved, Ye Jingcheng wasn't worried. Such beings wouldn't be eliminated so quickly, nor would they target him.

However, before that, Ye Jingcheng needs to complete a soul splitting.

Although the main soul dies but the divided soul exists, there might be side effects, since he hadn't tried it before.

But at least there's more hope.

"Uncle Xingqun, let those in the Lineage who have cultivated corpse cultivation Cultivation Method also cause some trouble for the Chu Family and Xu Families. It's not in line with the reckless nature of Evil Cultivators if only our Ye Family gets into trouble. They don't care how many people surround and kill them!" Ye Jingcheng added.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the Xu Family and Chu Families cannot remain too quiet.

Moreover, they had also received some information that the Xu Family was not in a peaceful state at the moment, which corresponded perfectly to the current situation.

Most importantly, Xu Family and Chu Families are currently embroiled in a mess and have no say in the Ye Family.

As for the alliance with the Chu Family, it was originally a matter of choice between major powers. If we were to investigate the past, the two families would have fought each other to the death!

"What about the Chen Family?" Ye Xingqun asked at the opportune moment.

In Taihang Commandery, although three Purple Mansion Lineage are currently holding the fort, the Foundation Establishment Lineage Chen Family, has always been there, but they have lost their attention.

"We don't need to worry about the Chen Family for now. Chen Family 're practically empty shells now, completely under the control of the Jin Family," Ye Jingcheng replied.

It's fortunate that the Ye Family isn't being targeted by the Jin Family and Kong Families yet; it would be better if Ye Jingcheng really went to cause trouble for the Chen Family.

The Jin Family won't be so amicable then.

Ye Jingcheng has Tianfu True Person behind him, but the Jin Family and Kong Families must also have True Person supporting them in the Taiyi Sect.

Moreover, each of their Lineage also has a True Person.

The Ye Family is currently at a significant disadvantage.

After hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, the other Clan Elders nodded and then went about their respective tasks.

"Ninth Brother, come with me this time!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Now, Cloud-Spreading Mountain is a branch mountain of the Ye Family, and it also has a second-tier mid-grade Spirit Vein, so it is naturally something that cannot be given up.

It's okay for one or two incidents to happen in the mortal town to increase realism, but if the clan mountain there were destroyed, that would be a real joke.

"I understand, Patriarch!" Ye Jingyun nodded, feeling somewhat moved.

He knew that Ye Jingcheng was worried that he would be affected.

After all, it was he who proposed spreading rumors about Evil Cultivator.

I never expected that the Evil Cultivator would have such a bad temper, actually going so far as to slaughter the mortals of the Ye Family.

"I'll go to Grandpa's courtyard first. You wait for news," Ye Jingcheng said to Ye Jingyun before heading towards Soaring Cloud Peak.

Ye Haicheng fully supported Ye Jingcheng's decision.

There will be no danger if there is light or darkness.

"Take this. It's a Tier 3 Jia Wood Golden Shield Talisman." Ye Haicheng took out another Spirit Talisman.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat moved.

The Ye Family doesn't have any third-tier Spirit Talisman masters, but they also don't have many third-tier Spirit Talisman.

If Ye Haicheng gives it to him, it means he himself has one less card.

Ye Jingcheng didn't refuse; this kind of life-saving technique could be crucial in a critical moment.

"Grandpa, I'll use Soul Splitting again!" Ye Jingcheng said.

This time, he only split his soul into one part, which was undoubtedly much easier than splitting it into three parts before.

In addition, the Pill-Pattern Jade Soul Pill had little effect on him.

This is also why Ye Jingcheng dared to split his soul before a possible major battle.

Ye Haicheng nodded.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the courtyard, took out the Five Poison Bees, and once again used the Soul Splitting Technique of the Heavenly Soul Art.

Half a day passed, and Ye Jingcheng's face turned pale. A group of Five Poison Bees flew up in front of him.

However, this pale complexion improved after Ye Jingcheng swallowed the Jade Soul Pill.

Moreover, perhaps because he had split his soul more often, he found that the pain and weakness he experienced from splitting his soul had greatly improved.

Even if this is just a split soul.

After another hour of recovery.

Ye Jingcheng also arrived at the Council Hall square, accompanied by Ye Jingyun and several members of the Beast Hunting Hall.

"Let's get on the Spirit Boat first!" Ye Jingcheng took out the Mysterious Shadow Azure Cloud Boat.

In an instant, the Spirit Boat transformed into a giant ship, and everyone from the Ye Family boarded Spirit Boat.

Upon sensing the presence of another figure on the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng activated his spirit shield.

As the spirit shield activated, the Spirit Boat sped towards the Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

Half a day later, rows of low-lying tea trees appeared around the distant mountains.

Compared to the plains near Soaring Cloud Peak, the area around Cloud-Spreading Mountain is mostly hilly.

It also produces more tea trees.

However, such an environment also makes it easier for people to hide.

Evil Cultivators and Devil Cultivators can easily hide inside, making them virtually undetectable.

This area is sparsely populated, which is why the Three-Eyed Demon King was able to pass through the Cloud-Spreading Mountain area undetected and reach the vicinity of the Mo Family's Green Willow Lake.

"Should we look for it?" Ye Jingyun asked from the side.

"Don't look for them, let them come to us!" Ye Jingcheng expanded the Spirit Boat even further.

Finding a Devil Cultivator is extremely difficult, since those Devil Cultivators would have been discovered long ago if they didn't have some means of concealment.

He was betting that the other party wasn't simply committing murder, but rather trying to lure the Ye Family.

For example, they could capture core members of the Ye Family and interrogate them about some of the Ye Family's secrets.

This is a more realistic point.

After all, what use are ordinary people from the Ye Family? Aren't there ordinary people everywhere?

Wouldn't it be better to go and harm some mortals from Foundation Establishment Lineage or minor Qi Refining Lineage?

In this special period, anyone can be Evil Cultivator; the key question is, what can they gain?

Ye Jingcheng flew around in the air with great fanfare.

After flying in a large circle, almost like on patrol, they finally retreated from the mortal town and went up Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

This not only signals to the Evil Cultivators in the shadows that they have arrived, but also lets them see their strength.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng estimated that the other party would not make a move immediately.

They would definitely be worried about Ye Haicheng's presence, and might even create some disturbances in the Ye Family's area to attract Ye Haicheng's attention.

But Ye Jingcheng was betting that his opponent didn't know his true strength, nor did they know about his Purple Sun Demon Corpse.

Most importantly, Cloud-Spreading Mountain is the Ye Family's home ground. If they want to send out anything using a sound transmission talisman, they have to ask the Ye Family's Array for permission.

However, if they were to venture into those mortal realms, where Evil Cultivators might be lurking in the shadows and send out messages using sound transmission talismans, the Ye Family would be put on the defensive.

At critical moments, we must be wary of abandoned spies who might perish together with the Ye Family.

"Patriarch!" As soon as Ye Jingcheng and his group arrived at Cloud-Spreading Mountain, members of the Ye Family came over.

What moved Ye Jingcheng was that Ye Haiyi, the third elder of the Ye Family and the former head of the Beast Hunting Hall, was guarding the place.

However, at this moment, the latter was already very old.

Although his Body Cultivator Qi and Blood are different from ordinary people.

But ultimately, it was difficult to surpass the 120 mark.

Ye Haiyi's ability to achieve this is due to the fact that he took longevity spirit medicine when he was young.

Moreover, it is said that Ye Haiyi had also taken the Foundation Establishment, but failed to Foundation Establishment.

But the latter never lost heart.

He worked diligently in the Ye Family.

Even in their twilight years, they remain here.

"Third Grandfather, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Haiyi was clearly worried that the Evil Cultivators might harm Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

There are many Floating Cloud Tea trees here, as well as several spirit medicine that are nearly a thousand years old, planted on the mountain.

For the Ye Family, this is a considerable wealth resource.

This was, after all, the former ancestral land of the Li Family.

It was developed exceptionally well.

"It's nothing. I just heard that our Lineage has been attacked by Evil Cultivators multiple times. My Ye Family is now Purple Mansion Lineage, how can we endure this humiliation!" Ye Haiyi had been guarding Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

This moment also serves as a reminder to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng did not immediately refute, firstly because he couldn't, as there might still be people watching at this time.

Moreover, Ye Haiyi was also good to him.

He was probably worried that the frequent mishaps in the Ye Family, even though they were just ordinary people, would affect his authority as the head of the family.

After all, when Ye Xingliu was the head of the family, the counties and towns under the Ye Family's jurisdiction did not have any problems.

Although time has passed and things cannot be conflated, it is still a stain to some extent.

"Third Grandfather, I'm here to deal with the Evil Cultivators. I will surely kill them in the next few days!" Ye Jingcheng replied immediately.

These words, though somewhat resolute, instantly put the hearts of the tribesmen guarding Cloud-Spreading Mountain at ease.

Previously, they were worried that Cloud-Spreading Mountain would be occupied by Evil Cultivators, after all, the entire Taihang Commandery was in chaos, and Cloud-Spreading Mountain was far away from the Ye Family's Soaring Cloud Peak.

The key point is that Cloud-Spreading Mountain is not far from Green Willow Mountain and Green Willow Lake, which are now controlled by the Jin Family.

But after hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, they felt much more at ease.

In the Cultivation World, Ye Jingcheng is not only a cultivator with four Spirit Roots, but it is also rumored that he has Bloodwood Spirit Body.

Having previously broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Ye Jingcheng is now seen by ordinary members of the Ye Family as an even more powerful figure than the previous head of the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng hadn't considered the influence of his Lineage before, but even if he had, he wouldn't have changed his mind.

This is the only road for the Ye Family.

The crisis had already surrounded the Ye Family.

The reason nothing has happened yet is because the Xu Family and Chu Families are bearing the brunt of the damage.

Although it is unclear what happened, the Beast Wasteland Minor World exposed by the Xu Family, and Chu Xiyu of the Chu Family, have disappeared without a trace.

This all indicates something unusual.

"Uncle Xingshui, let's check Cloud-Spreading Mountain's Array!" Ye Jingcheng looked at a thin clan uncle who had come with him.

This uncle is very similar to Ye Xingyi; they both don't talk much.

However, his research on Array is not much weaker than Ye Xingliu's.

Of course, checking the Array was a pretense; the real purpose was to rearrange a new Array around it.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't guarantee that all the Ye Family members on Cloud-Spreading Mountain were completely clean and honest.

Those clansmen without Beast-Link Mark are all susceptible to bribery, especially those in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

Xu Family could send messages to the ancestors of the Ye Family, it's highly likely that the Ye Family had an inside agent.

Therefore, he needed to set up the Array silently.

Then they would pull up the net and wait for the Evil Cultivator to come.

"The rest of you, go and prepare. We'll launch our attack in a few days!" Ye Jingcheng, looking at Ye Jingyun and the others, and told them to go down first.

"Patriarch, since you've come to Cloud-Spreading Mountain this time, why don't you take a look at Cloud-Spreading Mountain's medicinal herb garden?" Ye Haiyi said again.

Ye Jingcheng has only been the head of the family for a little over three years.

He has been in seclusion most of the time and has naturally not come to inspect the area before.

This time, it just so happens to serve as an inspection.

Ye Jingcheng actually trusted Ye Haiyi completely, but he couldn't resist Ye Haiyi's enthusiasm, so he followed Ye Haiyi toward the Spirit Herb Garden.

The medicinal herb garden in Cloud-Spreading Mountain is different from the three-tiered medicinal herb garden in Verdant Valley. Here, it is divided into a cold-natured mountaintop medicinal herb garden, a hot-natured mountain bottom medicinal herb garden, and a mixed medicinal herb garden on the mountainside.

The advantage of this layout is that it reduces the consumption of Array, eliminates the need to create special environments using Array, and greatly increases revenue.

The downside, of course, is that it greatly increases the difficulty of defense.

However, for the Li Family in the past, they hoped to increase their income more, after all, they were a newly emerging Foundation Establishment Lineage.

The Ye Family's occupation of Cloud-Spreading Mountain did not change this situation.

After all, the Ye Family is already Purple Mansion Lineage, and there are no third-tier spirit medicine in the Spirit Herb Garden. It is rare for someone to Bandit Cultivator to the second tier of spirit medicine and risk going against the Purple Mansion Lineage.

Once inside the Spirit Herb Garden, Ye Haiyi stared at Ye Jingcheng without saying a word, his eyes both murky and affectionate.

Then he pulled open the Daoist robe in his hand, revealing the Beast-Link Mark underneath.

At this moment Beast-Link Mark also appeared somewhat soft and loose, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Ye Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat.

"As expected, it couldn't hide anything from Third Grandfather's discerning eyes. This migration of mortals was indeed the Lineage's way out, and also Second Ancestor's decision."

Ye Haiyi has always been involved in the Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

I am not aware of some of the Ye Family's decisions.

Ye Jingcheng wouldn't hide anything from this Clan Elder at this moment. Although the Clan Elder hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment, he knew quite a lot, so there was no point in hiding it from him.
