Explosive News, Reactions

After the great battle subsided and the sun shone brightly, the Ye Family cultivators neatly arranged the bloodied corpses they had slain and affixed some first-tier Spirit Talisman.

Most of the blood corpses were missing limbs and were incomplete. In the fierce battle, none of the Ye Family's Spirit Beasts showed any mercy.

Furthermore, it was also electrocuted by the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle. The fact that it remained so intact was only because the Ye Family held back after Ye Haicheng killed the third-tier blood corpse and the clone of Corpse Daoist Chen Ya.

Otherwise, most of the blood corpses here would have been destroyed.

However, these blood corpses are basically useless now. The reason the Ye Family put up the Spirit Talisman was not because they were worried that the blood corpses would continue to turn into zombies.

Rather, these blood corpses lacked corpse beads, and without sufficient fresh blood to stimulate their fall, they easily decayed rapidly.

The Ye Family wanted to keep them as evidence, so naturally they wouldn't let these blood corpses go to waste.

"Jingyun, you need to count the number of blood corpses killed by the clansmen, and then distribute contribution points to the clansmen. Also, set up a raging fire Array here and burn it for a day to dry up the bloody smell. Also, deal with the blood corpses to prevent them from going back in time or turning into zombies. Now I'm going to Azure Water Town to check!" After cleaning up the battlefield and confirming that there were no other blood corpses, Ye Jingcheng gave the instructions to Ye Jingyun.

They then headed towards Azure Water Town.

The Corpse Daoist released Azure Water Town into a corpse-refining realm, and he may still be causing trouble.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't let the mortals of his Lineage be wasted on such blood corpses.

In the future, the Ye Family will be much weaker, and the ordinary people who cannot relocate are actually those from these towns near Green Willow Mountain.

After all, there was still a Purple Mansion cultivator named Jin Zongliang on Green Willow Mountain.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator's Divine Sense can travel very far. If Purple Mansion cultivator happens to have exceptional Divine Sense, there is a high probability that they will detect something amiss. The Ye Family will not gamble on this, nor can they afford to.

However, it is still possible for some ordinary members of the Ye Family to migrate to the Cloud-Spreading Three Counties.

This could confuse some people and also show that the Ye Family had not given up the struggle, making the Taiyi Sect feel more at ease.

For a sect, it is not afraid of those cultivation Lineage with ulterior motives, but it is afraid of Rogue Cultivators taking the opportunity to cause trouble. This is because the former has some concerns and worries, while the latter is completely unscrupulous.

Now, all the Ye Family's cover-ups are seven parts truth and three parts falsehood. Even if some cultivators still have doubts, by then, all of the Ye Family's plans will probably be completed.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived at Azure Water Town, members of the Ye Family had already arrived and had exterminated the corpse-refining beings.

However, quite a few mortals still perished.

Many ordinary people are hiding in their houses at this moment, and some have even nailed their doors and windows shut.

They were clearly afraid of these blood-sucking, corpse-refining beings.

On the street, there were also a dozen or so corpses with Spirit Talisman attached, and many ordinary human corpses, all of whom had died after their Essence Blood was devoured.

"Patriarch, should we keep these mortal corpses as evidence?" This time, it was Ye Jingqi, a member of the Ye Family, who asked the question. The handling of the corpses was naturally straightforward; they were all brought back to the sect, Lineage also had cultivators who practiced corpse cultivation.

However, the corpses of ordinary people were of little use, and these were all members of the Ye Family.

"No need. Just burn and bury it on the spot, then settle all the Lineage and mortals." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

The appearance of the blood corpse proves a lot.

We can also take out that third-tier blood corpse.

Although the remains of the third-tier blood corpse were incomplete, its aura rapidly weakened.

However, the lingering aura of a third-tier being proves a lot.

However, the Ye Family cannot report too quickly.

If time were to accelerate, the Taiyi Sect would have no tolerance for Evil Cultivators who attack mortals and would send cultivators from the Purple Mansion to investigate.

In the past, probably no one would have bothered to investigate.

But things are different now. The Jin Family and Kong Families are interested in Taihang Commandery, and the Taiyi Sect is naturally the same.

"Once the fire is done, let these mortals live their lives as usual, there's no need to hide anything!" Ye Jingcheng gave another order before leaving Azure Water Town.

There will definitely be people investigating these mortals eventually, but things that happen in this mortal town can be investigated at any time.

Following the Clear Water River, we headed towards Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

Upon arriving at Cloud-Spreading Mountain, he went directly to the Cloud-Spreading Branch Hall.

Ye Haicheng was definitely waiting for him there.

To him, Ye Haicheng must have discovered something, which is why he said those words to him after leaving during the battle.

Ye Jingcheng arrived at the main hall and found that Ye Haicheng had been waiting for a long time.

His expression was serious, as if he were deep in thought.

"Grandpa, everything's been taken care of, now what?"

"The situation is extremely unfavorable. I learned from the Corpse Daoist's memories his purpose in coming to the Yan Kingdom." Ye Haicheng frowned.

Do you still remember the Feather Transformation Sect?

"I remember!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Back then in Taihang Marketplace, Feather Transformation Sect was the first to place a large order. That time, it aroused suspicion from other Lineage towards the Ye Family, who then set a trap for them.

They wanted to kill Turtle Ancestor.

However, he was tricked by the Ye Family's higher-ups that time, which ironically gave Ye Haicheng the opportunity to break through to the Purple Mansion.

"The Feather Transformation Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect are secretly trading spirit corpses. This Corpse Daoist isn't from the Heavenly Corpse Sect; he killed the spirit corpse sellers along the way, which is why he acquired so many spirit corpses!"

"Furthermore, it's highly likely that the Chu Family also sold magical Law Artifacts to the Feather Transformation Sect!" Ye Haicheng continued.

This moment also stirred up a huge wave of emotions within Ye Jingcheng.

The Feather Transformation Sect is an affiliated force of the Green River Sect, and it is a sect organized by several Rogue Cultivators, with the highest level of cultivation only reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

It now appears that the Feather Transformation Sect is controlled by a sect.

No wonder that with its Foundation Establishment power, it was able to hold an auction in Taihang Marketplace back then. It was clearly an attempt to gather information and sow discord within Taihang Commandery, creating chaos within the Taiyi Sect.

"There are probably many affiliated forces like the Green River Sect. They are constantly infiltrating the Yan Kingdom and purchasing Spirit Talisman Law Artifact, magical artifacts, and elixirs to refine corpses, all for the sake of the battle for immortality."

"Actually, you should have sensed it too. Taiyi Sect has been actively preparing for war. As early as thirty or forty years ago, they recruited Alchemists, talisman refiners, and Artifact Refiners from their affiliated forces under the pretext of various wars and expansions!" Ye Haicheng continued.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement. The first time he went to the market, it was a sign from the Taiyi Sect.

But what followed was the capture of Jade Dragon Valley, which felt like a lot of noise but little action.

Even in the later battle at Red Glow Ridge, Ye Jingcheng felt that the Taiyi Sect did not use its full strength, but instead purged its affiliated forces.

"It's very simple. The True Lord of the Taiyi Sect is gone. Green River Sect is constantly probing. Once they've tested him, they'll strike with lightning speed, aiming straight for the Taiyi Three Prefectures!" As soon as Ye Haicheng said this, Ye Jingcheng also took a deep breath.

"What about the Heavenly Blade Sect?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

There are three sects in the Yan Kingdom. The most powerful is the Green River Sect, while the most low-profile is the Heavenly Blade Sect, a sect that possesses the Secret Method of the Heavenly Blade Nine Forms.

Rumor has it that the ninth strike of the Heavenly Blade Nine Forms Secret Method is already Fifth Stage Secret Method, capable of slaying True Lord!

Taiyi Sect, on the other hand, was the sect on the periphery.

"The Heavenly Blade Sect's True Lord don't have much time left either. Their most important goal now is to cultivate a new Nascent Soul True Lord. Moreover, most of the Heavenly Blade Sect's territory is in the small worlds, so they are least sensitive to the territory of the Yan Kingdom!" Ye Haicheng spoke again to clear up Ye Jingcheng's doubts.

The whole situation has been brought up.

This was extremely unfriendly to the Ye Family.

It's possible that the Ye Family really will have no choice but to relocate as a whole.

Otherwise, if the Taiyi Sect falls, the Ye Family will also be wiped out.

However, if the entire clan were to relocate, the rise of the Ye Family in the Azure Cloud Sea Region would attract the attention of the various kingdoms in the Eastern Region.

At that time, the Ye Family will fall into the same situation as before, or even worse. If they are framed, the Ye Family will be helpless.

After all, the Demon Race Beast Tide in the sea is much stronger than the Beast Tide in the Taihang Mountain Range.

The Demon Race of the Taihang Mountain Range and the True Lords of the Taiyi Sect signed an agreement.

Neither True Person nor Golden Core Demon Kings will make a move; only Purple Mansion Great Demons and Purple Mansion Cultivators are in a standoff, which is far too peaceful.

"Grandpa, what should we do about the Ye Family?" Ye Jingcheng was also very troubled.

No wonder Ye Haicheng's expression was so bad after learning about the Corpse Daoist's memories.

"The crisis is far from over. As long as the news of the Taiyi Sect's True Lord's fall remains undisclosed, there will be no problem."

"The Taiyi Sect's True Person grasped this point extremely well, but it's clear that Taihang Commandery was used as bait by the Taiyi Sect to attract the attention of other sects and major powers. Tianfu True Person, on the other hand, guessed that something would happen to my Ye Family, and that if he saved you, he might be able to glean the secrets of my Ye Family!"

"Grandpa, then we need to speed up the migration of mortals. There's no need to be so hesitant!"

"At least half of them will be teleported away, then the Beast Tide will be unleashed!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"Yes, this is the only way for now." Ye Haicheng nodded.

The appearance of these Evil Cultivators has given the Ye Family an opportunity to relocate mortals on a large scale and then infiltrate the small world of the Azure Cloud Sea Region in the Eastern Sea.

As for the remaining majority of mortals, the Ye Family still needs to take them with them.

After all, the Ye Family will only reduce its size from the Purple Mansion Lineage to Foundation Establishment Lineage this time.

"Grandpa, I still want to make some plans in the Taihang Mountain Range. I need information from Hidden Peak before, and the distribution of the great Demon Race of the various mountain ranges!" Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

"Okay, I'll take care of that!" Ye Haicheng nodded, his eyes lighting up at Ye Jingcheng's suggestion.

After all, the Ye Family was forced to change from the Purple Mansion Lineage to Foundation Establishment Lineage this time. At that time, the Ye Family's territory would definitely not be able to be protected and would inevitably be swept away by the Beast Tide.

At that time, the pressure to stop the Beast Tide will no longer be from the Ye Family, but from the Jin Family and Kong Families.

Since both families are so eager to join in the fun, let them face the pressure of the Beast Tide head-on—it will be even more terrifying and overwhelming.

This way, we can tell both families that the waters of Taihang Commandery are not so easy to cross.

At the same time, Ye Haicheng needs to step back from the limelight, and in the future, when it comes to acquiring resources in Taihang Commandery, the Ye Family will inevitably return to its former state.

Naturally, we need to act early and reap the rewards.

Otherwise, if the Ye Family continues to endure hardship, it will be difficult for them to maintain their rapid growth once again.

Moreover, the Ye Family has already begun promoting Fire Sincerity Pills, Golden Rank Pills, Earth-Tier Pills, and Water Rank Pills.

We urgently need a large amount of resources to cultivate Spirit Beasts.

"Grandpa, this is for you!" Ye Jingcheng took out the Spirit Talisman that Ye Haicheng had given him earlier. After all, it was a third-tier Spirit Talisman, and Ye Haicheng certainly didn't have many of them.

"Take it. Your great-grandfather is retiring from the stage, so he won't need it anymore. I'll just go and protect my second uncle!" Ye Haicheng shook his head.

Instead, he took out a jade box from his Storage Bag.

"Inside this jade box is a third-tier Metal Attribute demon core. Whether you use it to refine Foundation Establishment or give it to your Golden Falcon, consider it your great-grandfather's final support for you!"

"But no matter what the future holds, you must remember that you are the hope of the Ye Family. Preserve your strength. For so many years, the Ye Family has relied on the eight words: 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.'" Ye Haicheng said.

"There are times when we can't produce a third-tier Purple Sun Demon Corpse, but it's normal for my Ye Family to produce Purple Mansion Great Demon."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!" After hesitating for a moment, Ye Jingcheng accepted the gift directly, and then took out his Lineage Token and deducted 80,000 contribution points.

Of course, a third-tier demon core is actually worth around 60,000 to 70,000 Spirit Stones. A better quality one can be worth 80,000 to 90,000 Spirit Stones. The Ye Family's contribution points are slightly more expensive than Spirit Stones, and third-tier demon cores with the Metal Attribute are extremely rare.

Eighty thousand contribution points is definitely about right.

Once Golden Falcon breaks through to the third-tier Great Demon realm, Ye Jingcheng will possess two powerful Purple Mansion warriors and can prepare for his own Purple Mansion at any time.

Having concluded the discussions, Ye Jingcheng did not linger at Cloud-Spreading Mountain, but instead flew towards Soaring Cloud Peak.

They didn't even examine the Corpse Daoist's spoils.

However, he guessed that the other party didn't have anything good to offer.

The treasures were probably all in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm, and had fallen into his hands. This time, he didn't even have a suitable magic Law Artifact, relying instead on Spirit Talisman and a third-tier blood corpse.

After traveling for most of the day, the Spirit Boat landed once again at Soaring Cloud Peak.

Before we knew it, dusk was drawing to a close.

The last glimmer of light disappeared, and Ye Jingcheng had been so busy these past few days that he had almost lost track of time.

He gazed into the distance at the Taihang Mountain Range, their depths carrying a sense of oppression, like a primordial beast about to erupt at any moment. All the gentleness and poetic charm of the majestic mountains had vanished.

Ye Jingcheng then shook his head and landed in Soaring Cloud Peak, heading towards the Lineage Council Hall.

He had to arrange many things that followed, and he couldn't afford to delay in the slightest.

The migration of ordinary Lineage must also be accelerated.

Three days after his Lineage's mortals migrated, he still needed to go to Taihang Marketplace to unleash his fury.

Put on a show for everyone.

It was already late, but Ye Jingcheng still picked up the Lineage patriarch's token and began to convene a meeting.

Since speed is crucial, all the Inner Hall cultivators of the Ye Family must be mobilized.

These three days were definitely the calm before the storm.

The Ye Family members arrived one by one, and the meeting was held in the Council Hall as usual.

This time, however, it's not a discussion, but execution.

Everyone obeyed his orders.

All the mortal members of the Ye Family who lived near the Taihang Mountain Range were moved into the Grotto-Heaven of the Turtle Ancestor.

The Teleportation Array was activated three days later.

The meeting went very smoothly. For the Ye Family's Inner Hall members, the extremely high level of Lineage cohesion is the reason why the Ye Family has always been able to do so.

It should be noted that Ye Family, such as Ye Jingteng and others with dual Spirit Roots, would not be able to comprehend the Beast-Link Mark if they lacked sufficient loyalty to the Lineage.

Only after all the orders were issued did Ye Jingcheng breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the silent night, he felt a sense of prayer, wishing that dawn would come quickly.
