Yanging's Gift, Arrival at Moonwatch Lake

Inside a private room at the Ye Family Restaurant, the two sat facing each other, the tea on the table untouched.

The teapot was steaming, and the two porcelain cups remained bare and empty, appearing incredibly translucent.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't in the mood for such elegance at the moment, and neither was Chu Yanqing.

If the two were to meet now and be seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would be quite unusual.

To be honest, Ye Jingcheng took a bit of a risk coming here to see Chu Yanqing.

"I'm only here to tell you that your Ye Family will be the next target. According to information passed down by my aunt before her death, a Nascent Soul True Lord Monarch has used Law Treasure to deduce the Eight Desolations Sect's lost treasure, which is located in Taihang Commandery!"

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng was still wary, Chu Yanqing also seemed a little anxious, so she told him everything directly.

She was disappointed in her Yu Family, felt sorry for her aunt, and hated the Jin Family.

However, Lineage feuds and the world of cultivation have always been characterized by the survival of the fittest.

She could only hate that she wasn't a Golden True Person.

"I'm going to the Zhao Kingdom. Here's the address!" Chu Yanqing took out a Jade Slip and placed it on Ye Jingcheng's table.

After saying that, she put on the hood of the Spirit-Isolating Robe, hiding her face inside Spirit-Isolating Robe once again.

They also quietly left the restaurant.

Only Ye Jingcheng remained there, staring at the Jade Slip with a complex expression.

Chu Yanqing was only there to remind her.

This was somewhat beyond his understanding of the latter.

Chu Yanqing's position in the Chu Family is somewhat similar to his position in the Ye Family.

They were all family heads and core clan members. Chu Yanqing's cultivation level was clearly at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. For her age, she was definitely an extremely outstanding genius.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that they were at least two Spirit Roots, or even geniuses with a single Spirit Root.

However, considering that the other party is Artifact Refiner, Fire Attributes are the most likely possibilities.

Moreover, Chu Yanqing should know the Water-Forging Method.

His Five-Colored Dao Robes were all made by Chu Yanqing.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the Jade Slip Jade Slip. There was no extra description inside, just a route for escaping from the Yan Kingdom, which led to the Zhao Kingdom Southward Mountain Marketplace.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head and put the Jade Slip away.

He estimated that this was one of the Chu Family's several routes, which would naturally be useful to the Ye Family, but not now. Even if the Ye Family could escape, they couldn't escape the Yan Kingdom.

Below the Taiyi Sect, after probing and discovering that the Ye Family has no treasures, the Taiyi Sect may not take action.

But the major sects in other countries are not like that.

Moreover, they went secretly, so the other party might directly search their souls and force them to comply.

Although the Ye Family's Lineage jade book restriction array is extremely powerful, the consequence of soul searching is death by body explosion.

But there's always a Secret Method to break it.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng frowned deeply at the information Chu Yanqing conveyed.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Nascent Soul Cultivator was indeed deducing the Beast-Link Tower.

Only such rare treasures could make even Nascent Soul True Lord covet them.

So he quickly left the restaurant; he needed to get the message to Ye Haicheng as soon as possible.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the corpses in front of the restaurant did not frighten the customers.

This actually increased the number of customers at the restaurant, including many independent Rogue Cultivators who had never been there before.

They only ordered a cup of spiritual tea, a dish of spiritual fish, or a dish of pork stewed in the lush forest.

But the support given to the Ye Family was indeed substantial.

This also means that those Rogue Cultivators were lamenting and complaining about the influx of so many Evil Cultivators and Devil Cultivators.

They were also probably frightened and dared not leave the market, but for most cultivators, they had to venture into the Taihang Mountain Range.

Otherwise, cultivation requires Spirit Stones, living in the market requires Spirit Stones, and with several people still dreaming of reaching the Foundation Establishment, they naturally hope that the Ye Family can stir up a wave of counterattack against Evil Cultivators Evil Cultivator drive them out of Devil Cultivator Taihang Marketplace again.

Ye Jingcheng made a token gesture of respect with his hands clasped inside the restaurant, but his expression remained unpleasant.

Now, it seems like he glares at everyone he sees.

Most cultivators understood, after all, they had only been the head of the family for a few years, and that was how it was.

Anyone in that situation would probably feel incredibly embarrassed.

They even thought that a Clan Elder of the Ye Family was going to impeach Ye Jingcheng.

In major cultivation Lineage, if the Clan Elders agree, they can depose the family head.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng had no idea what they were thinking at the moment.

He returned to the Spirit Beast shop and met Ye Haicheng, telling him everything he had seen and heard.

Ye Haicheng couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingcheng a couple more times.

Ye Jingcheng felt a little uneasy watching this, as if he suspected there was something between him and Chu Yanqing.

But Ye Jingcheng was somewhat wronged; he was still wary of Chu Yanqing.

Then Ye Haicheng finally spoke:

"It's normal to have this kind of news, but don't worry. The exact location of the Beast-Link Tower can't be deduced. Our Lineage's ancestor left a record. As for whether there are any Law Treasures in Taihang Commandery, that's not important. What's important now is whether the Taiyi Sect has any Nascent Soul!" Ye Haicheng didn't care about Chu Yanqing's news.

Perhaps Ye Haicheng also knew about it.

However, as Ye Haicheng said, none of this matters.

The key question is whether the Taiyi Sect can withstand the attack, and whether the Ye Family can successfully incite Beast Tide.

If the Beast Tide causes most of Taihang Commandery to fall, then the news of the secret treasure will naturally become nonsense.

As for whether the Beast-Link Tower could be deduced or found, Ye Jingcheng thought about it and felt relieved.

If it were truly possible to deduce this, the Ye Family would have been exposed long ago.

The Beast-Link Tower couldn't possibly have survived until now.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng became somewhat curious: what tier of Law Treasure was the Beast-Link Tower?

"Go and urge them again first thing tomorrow morning!" Ye Haicheng said again, and then closed his eyes.

After one more reminder, the Ye Family will be ready to depart.

Because of their past encounters with Evil Cultivators, the Ye Family has now begun to fabricate evidence of the Evil Cultivators ' devastation and relocate all mortals.

Although the Ye Family has many mortals, the cultivators of the Ye Family's Inner Hall were dispersed to each mortal town in advance, and then the Turtle Ancestor went to collect these mortals.

Finally, the Evil Cultivators ran rampant, destroying the town and creating pools of blood.

It was later discovered by a member of the Ye Family who was in the early stage of Qi Refining.

The entire process starts almost simultaneously.

The scapegoat was a very good one: the Evil Cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Moreover, the inaction of Taihang Marketplace and the resistance of the Ye Family aroused the Evil Cultivators ' desire for revenge.

All the explanations make perfect sense.

Time flew by, and early the next morning arrived, with the first rays of dawn breaking in the east.

As if after a downpour, the dawn light was exceptionally bright and exceptionally soft.

A rare dense fog descended around Taihang Marketplace.

The dawn light pierced through the thick fog, creating a beautiful, hazy landscape painting.

Ye Jingcheng went to Jiang Jinghe's room again to urge him on.

The latter finally submitted a large roster.

However, the group consisted mostly of old cultivators, with few at the Foundation Establishment and the majority at the late Qi Refining stage. For this demon-hunting team to deal with Devil Cultivator with a third-tier bloodline was practically a joke.

It seems like just a symbolic explanation.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally furious. After hurling a few angry words, he stormed off.

After Ye Jingcheng left, Jiang Jinghe became somewhat puzzled.

Having been in Taihang Marketplace for so many years, he couldn't possibly be completely oblivious to everything.

It's highly unusual that Ye Haicheng is the one urging people, not Ye Jingcheng.

After all, there's a huge difference between a Purple Mansion cultivator and a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Foundation Establishment urges him on, he will naturally do as he is told. But Purple Mansion urges him on, he will not be able to do so and must take many measures, and he cannot be perfunctory.

Of course, despite his hesitation, he had no intention of breaking the ice. On the contrary, he actively communicated with the Xu Family Jin Family Kong Family, and Chu Families.

It seems they really intend to mobilize the entire Taihang Commandery to drive out the Evil Cultivators.

However, just like how he dealt with Ye Jingcheng, he dealt with everyone else in the same perfunctory manner.

Of course, Jiang Jinghe was happy to see it this way.

Given the situation in Taihang Commandery, he didn't want to offend any of them.

After all, he was the head of the sect's garrison in Taihang Marketplace and also served as the prefect; he would not be in any trouble no matter what.

There's absolutely no need for him to join in the fun.

As long as he maintains a facade of competence, slowly accumulates his salary, and prepares the spirit medicine needed to break through to the Purple Mansion, he can begin his preparations for the Purple Mansion breakthrough.

For cultivators, wealth and power are not the most important things; the most important thing is their own cultivation level.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng returned to the Spirit Beast shop, he saw the Ye Family's Spirit Boat flying down from the sky again, revealing several anxious figures.

They slowly emerged from the mist, each one appearing to be wailing in despair.

"Patriarch, something terrible has happened! More than half of the mortals in the Lineage have been sacrificed!"

"A large number of Evil Cultivators have appeared!" This was the message spoken by several members of the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng's expressions changed, and they immediately led some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Ye Family toward Soaring Cloud Peak.

In the end, only Ye Xinghe remained.

"Uncle, go find Ward Master Jiang and explain the urgency of the situation to him. The Lineage is at a critical moment of life and death, and the Evil Cultivators are very likely to attack Soaring Cloud Peak!" Ye Jingcheng almost shouted.

The Spirit Boat then sped away through the Taihang Marketplace.

At Soaring Cloud Peak, all members of the Ye Family were on high alert. As soon as Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng arrived at Soaring Cloud Peak, they flew together towards Soaring Cloud Lake in the sky.

After seeing that the Teleportation Array had disappeared, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ye Family's plan to relocate mortals has been completed, and the Teleportation Array has once again been hidden in the Turtle Ancestor's Grotto-Heaven world.

This time, the Ye Family has outpaced time.

The remaining mortals also lived in the Li Family 'Cloud-Spreading Mountain area.

The mortals near Lingyun Peak of the Ye family.

These mortals also began to migrate, heading towards Cloud-Spreading Mountain.

If nothing unexpected happens, the cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and Taihang Marketplace will also witness the Ye Family's mortals migrating in fear.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng also inspected the ravaged town once again.

Finally, looking at Ye Xingqun:

"Uncle Xingqun, burn all the towns down!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingqun hesitated, for this was evidence he had deliberately left behind.

"That evidence is too contrived; no one will believe it." Hearing this, Ye Xingqun nodded and began burning down town after town.

After all, the Blood Corpse had wreaked havoc, leaving behind corpse poison. Cultivators might not be afraid, but mortals would suffer.

Only when the town is burned down can this calamity be stopped.

After the fire was finished burning, Ye Jingcheng also used Retrospective Mirror to observe it.

When they could only vaguely see the Blood Cultivator and the Spirit Shadow escaping, they were completely relieved.

"Is there any problem at Jade Dragon Valley?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"Patriarch, barring any unforeseen circumstances, with the three Demon Kings all appearing, it's impossible that any of those investigating this time are True Person, and there might not even be many Purple Mansion Venerables among them!"

"Furthermore, low-level Demon Beasts have begun to appear in the area near the Taihang Mountain Range where the Ye Family lives. This is a sign of Beast Tide!" Ye Xingqun said.

The Beast Tide couldn't have happened suddenly, and the Ye Family couldn't possibly recreate the scenario they had with the Mo Family.

However, with the Earth Dragon Demon King's last chance to make a move, all the problems in the Ye Family were easily solved.

Given the Beast Tide launched by the Earth Dragon Demon King, the Three-Eyed Demon King's desire for revenge, Cloud Lion Demon King's shared hatred, it's not hard to understand why a Silver Moon Demon King suddenly appeared.

After all, the Demon Race did not gain the upper hand in the last battle.

Half a day later, as expected, Taihao Master and Qian He arrived together. Naturally, the Ye Family provided various pieces of evidence and information.

There's no need to fabricate this information; just state the identities the Corpse Daoist has had in the past.

After examining the area, Taihao Master Qian He looked grim.

But in the end, nothing came of it.

They settled down at the Ye Family's residence.

Ye Jingcheng immediately announced the mass production of fireball talismans and various Antidote Spirit Pills.

The former deals with spirit corpses, while the latter is used to cure corpse poison.

Ye Jingcheng entered the alchemy room, and Ye Xingliu became the one who greeted him.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few; the clear moonlight shone on the mountains near Soaring Cloud Peak.

A cultivator clad in a five-colored robe and carrying a Spirit Beast pouch at his waist quietly departed into the night.

It also goes straight into the Taihang Mountain Range.

This cultivator was none other than Ye Jingcheng, but at this moment, he was separated by the Spirit-Isolating Robe and the Five-Colored Robe, so even the Taihao Master could not recognize him.

In addition, he also took Bone-Transforming Pill, so he wouldn't be exposed as long as he didn't summon his signature Spirit Beast.

Following the Spirit Diagram he had memorized countless times, he ventured directly into the Taihang Mountain Range.

This time, his speed was unparalleled.

He bypassed Jade Dragon Valley and headed towards another mountain pass leading into the mountains.

That place was even more remote, and the spirit medicine resources were extremely scarce. It was also the place where Ye Jingcheng first entered the mountains.

There are no high-level demonic beasts for a long stretch here, and most of the cultivators from the Ye family's Lingyun Peak used to be active here.

This also includes the Taihang, all of whom were like this.

Ye Jingcheng chose this location as a precaution.

After flying for a while, Ye Jingcheng directly summoned the Corpse Daoist's second-tier top-grade Spirit Boat, the Black Coffin White Bone Boat.

To be honest, Ye Jingcheng didn't like this Spirit Boat at all; it was only the Heavenly Corpse Sect that cherished it.

But this time, for the sake of the mission, Ye Jingcheng naturally agreed.

After passing through a large buffer zone, we arrived near the former Sand Hidden Peak of the Ye Family. Further ahead lay the territory of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

There will be more second-tier Demon Beasts and great demonic beasts of the Purple Mansion.

However, the Ye Family had already made arrangements with the Earth Dragon Demon King, allowing them to directly intervene. All the Demon Beasts there had been transferred to Jade Dragon Valley.

After flying recklessly in the Spirit Boat for most of the night, finally, in the distance, a vast, shimmering lake appeared before Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

This lake is also known as Moonwatch Lake.
