Half-Dragon Appears; The Great Battle Begins

The misty lake reflects the mountains on the shore, the clouds in the sky, and the moon in the heavens.

It is tranquil, yet possesses the beauty of a landscape painting.

Ye Jingcheng took a deep breath. Even though Moonwatch Lake suited his taste, there were more important things for him to do today.

He took out a formation flag and a set of formation plates, and began to set them up.

Once the Array was set up and covered the area around him, he took out the Spirit Beast pouch, and the Turtle Ancestor transformed into its largest form.

As the Turtle Ancestor opened its mouth, more than a dozen brightly lit figures appeared inside.

Among these figures were familiar to Ye Jingcheng, such as his fourth brother Ye Jingyu, his fifteenth uncle Ye Xingyu, his fifteenth great-uncle Ye Xueliang, his ninth great-uncle Ye Xuefu, and the two Array Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei who were repairing the Teleportation Array.

Of course, there are also things Ye Jingcheng is not familiar with.

There were only three Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators in front of him, and Ye Xingyu and the two Ye Jingcheng did not recognize them.

There are seven people in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, among whom Ye Jingyu has also advanced to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Even at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, there were three of them.

The only cultivator at the Purple Mansion was his great-grandfather, Ye Haicheng.

For so many years, the Ye Family has been extremely cautious, walking on thin ice, and has obtained very few powerful demons from the Purple Mansion.

Moreover, the Purple Mansion Spirit Beast must be compatible with the Ye Family members, which makes it even more difficult. Even if they are compatible, breaking through to the Purple Mansion is still quite challenging, unlike Foundation Establishment, where almost Ye Family members can succeed.

So, despite the large number of Foundation Establishment, there are currently only four Purple Mansion cultivators.

Of course, there's a possibility of a breakthrough, but without a doubt, right in front of us are all the Ye Family members who attacked Moonwatch Lake.

Ye Jingcheng realized that, if we disregard the Spirit Beast, he wasn't particularly outstanding among them.

Almost every member of the Hidden Peak Clan here possesses an extremely profound skill.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't quite sure about cultivation level or Spirit Beast.

"Let's begin, everyone. Make sure to take care of the remaining second-tier Demon Beast within one hundred breaths. Finally, everyone gather together and kill those two Silver Moon Python!" Ye Haicheng spoke first.

He is the only one with the Purple Mansion here, so the pressure he bears is unimaginable.

However, although Ye Haicheng was only one person, there was also Turtle Ancestor, who was also a great demon of the Purple Mansion.

To be honest, Ye Jingcheng had never seen Turtle Ancestor make a move before. He only knew from Ye Xuecang that Turtle Ancestor was considered young among his clansmen.

And so Ye Haicheng began.

Everyone then took out their respective Spirit Beast.

Ye Haicheng took out two Spirit Beasts from his Spirit Beast bag, and the two Spirit Beast immediately occupied most of the space in the Array.

The first one was a huge, third-tier Manflame Green Ox, and the other was a five-zhang-tall Star-Eyed Iron Ape.

On the head of the Manflame Green Ox, wildfire burned fiercely, and its nose was enormous, shimmering with spiritual light. In contrast, its two spiritual horns were somewhat inferior to its nose, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary beast.

The Star-Eyed Iron Ape's solid muscles exuded a strong sense of explosive power, clearly indicating that it was an extremely powerful Body Cultivator Spirit Beast. Ye Jingcheng had no doubt that the Star-Eyed Iron Ape possessed the strength to fight a dragon hand-to-hand.

Ye Haicheng released two Purple Mansion Spirit Beast, which means there are now four more Purple Mansion warriors.

Dealing with two Silver Moon Python immediately reduced the pressure considerably.

The other Foundation Establishment clan members also brought out quite a few Spirit Beast.

Such as the Plum Feather Crane, the Flying Sky Purple Crystal Scorpion King, the Second-Tier Mottled Cloud Tiger, the Second-Tier Saber-Toothed Tiger, the Second-Tier Three-Colored Lizard, the Second-Tier Fire-Swallowing Crow, as well as the Second-Tier Azure-Scaled Python, the Second-Tier Cold Jade Toad...

In an instant, more than twenty second-tier Spirit Beast appeared.

Almost everyone had two or three, except for Ye Xingyu, whose Golden-Eyed Crow was not yet at the second tier. Ye Jingyu, on the other hand, had two Spirit Beasts, and his Jade-Scale Snake was also at the second tier, but it was much smaller than Ye Jingcheng's Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

The entire Array instantly began to appear crowded.

Seeing this strength, Ye Jingcheng's confidence also increased greatly.

This is the true strength of the Ye Family. If we calculate it this way, the Ye Family has nearly forty second-tier combatants on the entire battlefield.

This doesn't even include Ye Jingcheng's several second-tier Spirit Beast.

Their strength is three or four times greater than that of the Taiyi Sect when they swept through Jade Dragon Valley.

He was naturally very confident in securing Moonwatch Lake.

At this point, his only concern was whether the resources at Moonwatch Lake were sufficient and whether it was worth their investment.

While everyone else was preparing, Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei had already begun setting up the Array.

This time, the array plate they brought out was also extraordinary.

Ye Jingcheng saw the shadow of the Great Sun Twin Dragon Formation that Ye Xingliu.

These array flags also appear to be crafted from third-tier Law Treasure.

The two men each held several hundred array plates and flags.

When combined, the number reaches over a thousand.

The Ye Family aims to take control of Moonwatch Lake in a short period of time, so they naturally need to make thorough preparations.

Setting up Array is the first step, sealing everything off. You must know that the Demon Beast of Moonwatch Lake are also considered Spirit Stone by the Ye Family.

Spirit Beast with high talent can be tamed, while Spirit Beast with low talent can be used to feed Spirit Beast. The Demon Beast Core can be used to refine elixirs.

Demon Beast Soul are needed to replenish the Beast-Link Tower!

The waiting time while setting up the Array was agonizing; Ye Jingcheng and the others could only wait quietly inside the Array.

At this time, one could occasionally see Red Moon Python appearing on Moonwatch Lake.

The Red Moon Python is one bloodline level lower than the Silver Moon Python, and it is also the most abundant Demon Beast in Moonwatch Lake.

However, a normal Red Moon Python can also grow to the level of a second-tier Demon Beast.

Moreover, for cultivators, this Red Moon Python is a spiritual dish that is almost as good as the Star-Eating Fish, with extremely high nourishing effects.

Not only does it enhance physical constitution, but there are also rumors that it can boost a cultivator's reproductive ability.

It is common knowledge that the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring.

This also demonstrates the rarity and preciousness of the Red Moon Python.

Of course, the Ye Family has also tried it, and the rumors about enhancing fertility are untrue, at least not in large quantities.

As for what happens if too much is taken, the Ye Family is still unclear.

After all, the Ye Family rarely mobilized the entire Hidden Peak to conquer a large Purple Mansion clan like they did today.

These Crimson Red Moon Python were clearly not yet at the second tier. They floated on the lake surface, following the moonlight, and headed towards the shore.

Around this lake, herds of Cloud Deer often come to drink, as do various other Demon Beast or wild beasts.

These Red Moon Python waited for their chance to strike.

However, today, these Red Moon Python seem to have sensed something and are heading towards the location of the Array at the Ye Family.

It was an incredible coincidence.

This has left everyone somewhat perplexed.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Xueliang released some powder, which caused the Red Moon Python to retreat.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The speed at which Ye Haifei and Ye Haiyu cast their Array and array flags also slowed down.

Time quickly passed into the latter half of the night, and the Array was mostly set up.

Just then, moonlight shone across the lake, and a sliver of light appeared on the surface.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that it was a gigantic Silver Moon Python.

After the Silver Moon Python revealed half of its body, another one appeared beside it.

Their bodies were all silvery-white, and one of them even had a fleshy horn, and its aura far surpassed that of the other Silver Moon Python.

"This Silver Moon Python has already transformed into a half-dragon, it's going to be even more troublesome!!" Ye Haicheng murmured to himself.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's heart pounded.

His third-tier Jade-Scale Pill requires the essence Essence Blood.

In other words, if he's lucky enough to kill the Silver Moon Python and collect its Essence Blood, he'll find the rarest main ingredient for the Tier 3 Jade-Scale Pill.

Moreover, judging from Ye Haicheng's tone, although the situation was somewhat troublesome, it seemed to be merely troublesome.

"Oh no, we seem to have found something!" Ye Haicheng suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone was astonished to discover that the two Silver Moon Python were approaching at an alarming speed.

It also kept uttering snake language, and in an instant, the lake surface began to ripple, with concentric circles of ripples colliding with each other.

Countless Spirit Beast were clearly beginning to appear.

"No need to hide anymore! Haiyu and Haifei, continue setting up the Yin-Yang Brightness and Annihilation Formation. Everyone else, charge according to the original plan!" Ye Haicheng shouted and took the lead in flying out. At the same time, he finally summoned his magic weapon.

This is a Water-Separating Banner.

As the Water-Separating Banner flew out.

The lake, spanning nearly a hundred miles in circumference, had split into two sections, with all the water flowing backwards to both sides, revealing a large number of Demon Beast.

Most of these Demon Beasts were Red Moon Python and Silver Moon Python, in addition to Blackwater Crocodile and Bluewater Turtle, as well as many second-tier Demon Beast.

Looking around, Ye Jingcheng estimated there were definitely no fewer than a hundred second-tier Demon Beast, and even more first-tier Demon Beast.

This doesn't even mention the spirit fish in Moonwatch Lake.

A vast expanse of water, all visible beneath the Water-Separating Banner.

Of course, in everyone's eyes, the most troublesome thing was the two Silver Moon Python.

These two Silver Moon Python Great Demons, the smallest of which was fifteen zhang long, had bodies as big as buckets, covered with dense scales, and their bloody mouths seemed capable of swallowing a small palace when opened.

Their speed is like an arrow released from a bow.

Most Demon Beast beasts also prefer the exhilarating feeling of tearing their prey apart.

The first to charge forward were the Star-Eyed Iron Ape and the Manflame Green Ox.

With a heavy snort, the Manflame Green Ox unleashed a terrifying ripple storm that swept towards the two Silver Moon Python.

This caused the two Silver Moon Python to momentarily freeze, and they could only charge forward by inertia.

Even when Ye Jingcheng heard this powerful gaze sound later, his ears rang, because he knew that the Manflame Green Ox's gaze sound Secret Method was not aimed at him.

This is merely the lingering effect that cannot be completely eliminated.

In addition, the Star-Eyed Iron Ape had already rushed up to the two Silver Moon Python. It swung its huge iron fist, its body radiating a starlight so intense it seemed to surpass the moon in the sky.

Boom boom boom!

Countless iron fists slammed into the Silver Moon Python's body like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

Each lap seemed to shatter several iron mountains, but even so, the awakened Silver Moon Python instantly captured the Star-Eyed Iron Ape, its huge bloody maw smashing towards the Star-Eyed Iron Ape.

Even more strikingly, under the shimmering moonlight, countless phantom images appeared of the Silver Moon Python.

And the Star-Eyed Iron Ape's starry eyes began to flicker.

The Silver Moon Python's greatest Secret Method is Divine Ability. Its illusions in the air are so powerful that even the Divine Sense of the Purple Mansion cannot distinguish them. Coupled with its terrifying speed, extremely potent Deadly Poison, and thick skin, it was able to dominate the Earth Dragon Valley in the Taihang Mountain Range.

However, the Star-Eyed Iron Ape was immune to such illusions, so it was impossible for the Silver Moon Python to bite it.

It also nimbly dodged, and even when hit by its tail, it remained fearless.

It kept pounding on the Silver Moon Python.

On the other side, Ye Haicheng's entire body was covered with layers of thick tortoise shell, while the Turtle Ancestor had retreated to the very back.

The Ye Family's Spirit Control Secret Method has manifested, making Ye Haicheng resemble a war god clad in tortoise shell.

That half-dragon Silver Moon Python was much more powerful than the Silver Moon Python next to it, so Ye Haicheng was the one who was constantly being slapped, but fortunately his armor was sturdy.

Ultimately, they were able to hold on, thanks to the Manflame Green Ox's occasional charges and the terrifying Heavenfire Long Dragon it unleashed, which allowed them to barely manage to hold their own.

Normal Silver Moon Python are actually extremely afraid of Manflame Green Ox like the Heavenly Fire Green Ox.

However, due to its horns, the Silver Moon Python, even though it is at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, can faintly display the strength of the late-stage Purple Mansion.

Ye Haicheng was only a cultivator at the early stage of the Purple Mansion, while the Manflame Green Ox was a mid-stage third-tier Spirit Beast, so both of them could only barely hold their own.

While the Demon Beast of the Purple Mansion were engaged in a chaotic battle, Ye Jingcheng and the other Foundation Establishment of the Ye Family also joined the fight against other second-tier Demon Beast.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng released a total of nine second-tier Spirit Beast.

Among them are four four-phase Spirit Beast, four second-tier Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, and one Golden Falcon.

This display startled most of the Ye Family's Hidden Peak clan members.

After all, they were completely unfamiliar with so many of Ye Jingcheng's second-tier Spirit Beast.

This means that these Spirit Beasts were not inherited, but were either raised or captured by Ye Jingcheng on his own.

This strength alone was enough to move many of his clansmen, and Ye Jingcheng's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation was also on full display.

Various Black Water ice shields, Falling Cloud Star Rock, and Crimson Flame Fire Feathers were continuously unleashed.

Even at this moment, a hint of envy flashed in Ye Jingyu's eyes.

They quickly concealed themselves.

In the Ye Family, while envy is acceptable, hard work is even more important. Compared to other Lineage, the Ye Family values not only Spirit Root but also character and Beast-Link Mark, making it extremely fair.

Moreover, Ye Jingyu is slightly inferior to Ye Jingcheng, but his own strength is not weak. The Jade-Scale Snake's Jade-Scale Tail Blade is extremely fast, coupled with the support of the Mottled Cloud Tiger.

And Ye Jingyu's Hurricane Disk Law Artifact trapped many Demon Beasts in his hurricane, which were then killed by the Jade-Scale Snake.

"We can't let the younger generation outdo us!" Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang couldn't help but chuckle.

The former then used his pupil technique, while the latter transformed into a scaled python and joined the melee.

These Red Moon Python are relatively weak; only the second-tier Silver Moon Python are quite troublesome.

Although the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Jade Lin's tail fin blade is extremely sharp, sometimes it only strikes at an afterimage.

Only the Crimson Flame Fox seemed to thrive in its new environment.

You have the Silver Moon Phantom, and it also has the Fireball Phantom.

Its four tails transformed into four Crimson Flame Fox spirit shadows, each unleashing a massive fireball.

Its power is equally terrifying.

Moreover, although only one of its fireballs is solid, the remaining three are illusory, and their flames are quite powerful.

It can also be imbued with flames; once imbued, the Crimson Flame Fox and other Spirit Beast can be hit.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng kill two Silver Moon Python in succession, the other members of the Ye Family followed suit.
