Golden Peacock Makes Its Move; The Beast Tide Rises Again

In Taihang Commandery, at Granary Mountain, a torrential downpour was raging.

The soft, misty air transformed into thick smoke, gathering among the mountains and forests, drifting east and west with the wind, unpredictable and ever-changing.

The birds are silent, the mountains and valleys are deserted.

Xu Chunlin sat in the Xu Family's Council Hall. At this moment, the family head Xu Wenjin and some Clan Elders were gathered there, and they all looked somewhat flustered.

"Third Uncle, we've investigated and found out. The higher-ups are searching for a secret treasure of the Eight Desolations Sect!" Xu Wenjin said quickly.

"Third Uncle, all we need to do is make Heavenly Dao Oath, and have all the Foundation Establishment elders and high-ranking members receive the Spirit-Inquiring Talisman. We're sure we can find a sliver of hope!"

Xu Wenjin forced himself to continue.

The thought that not only did they fail to catch the pursuers, but the migration of mortals also led to the discovery of the small world, and now the exit is controlled by the Kong Family and is to be handed over to the Taiyi Sect!

In the Taiyi Sect of the Yan Kingdom, although they do not have much control over their affiliated Lineage, they must entrust the management of medium-grade and above Spirit Stone mines, small worlds, and high-grade spirit mines to the sect for joint control.

This time, the small world was also given the title of the Beast Wasteland Minor World, and the investigation of the Xu Family was already a serious crime.

But in Xu Wenjin's view, as long as they all confessed, the Taiyi Sect couldn't possibly wipe them out.

"Idiot!" Xu Chunlin was instantly enraged, wishing he could slap Xu Wenjin to death.

But when he thought about how the Xu Family only had three Foundation Establishment and only one Purple Mansion, he suppressed his impulse.

He also hated Xu Hanqing. Despite being a cultivator who had possessed another body, he still managed to wipe out a few juniors and destroy most of the Xu Family's Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Otherwise, any Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Xu Family would be better than Xu Wenjin in front of them.

Do you really think the Jin Family and Kong Families are searching for a secret treasure?

"They're just annexing us to strengthen their power. As for whether other forces among their people are searching for the secret treasure, they don't care at all. Whether they find it or not, they don't care!"

"They just need one excuse!"

"They want my Xu Family's territory to strengthen their power and find a way out," Xu Chunlin said angrily.

If we were truly searching for a secret treasure, there would be no need to annihilate the Chu Family and Xu Families.

Such treasures cannot be hidden in ordinary Storage Bags.

It must be within Grotto-Heaven or a small world; just search for all the Grotto-Heavens and small worlds.

It's now clear that they're worried about the Zhong Family being wiped out, and the Zhang Family has been interrogated for a long time. Feeling uneasy, both families have found a way out in Taihang Commandery.

Even if the Jin Family and Kong Families in Taichang Commandery encounter trouble, it will not affect the Jin Family and Kong Families in Taihang Commandery.

If managed well, they might even advance several levels beyond the Golden Core Lineage level.

After all, even Golden Core Lineage have varying degrees of strength.

The two families currently in power are undoubtedly the weakest among the Golden Core Lineage.

Xu Chunlin's words instantly brought Xu Wenjin's fantasy back to reality; indeed, their Xu Family was now truly facing a life-or-death situation.

"The reason why the Jin Family and Kong Families are reducing our market share is to gain more influence and find evidence to destroy us."

"Uncle Chunlin, can we abandon the clan mountain and escape?" Xu Wenjin's eyes were somewhat vacant. Now that the Beast Wasteland Minor World had fallen into the hands of the Kong Family, they had no last chance.

But soon an idea popped into his head, and as if grasping at the last straw, his eyes lit up.

"Fool, if we run away, we'll be fleeing from justice!" At this moment, Xu Chunlin, who was standing nearby, could no longer hold back and released all his Purple Mansion aura towards Xu Wenjin.

This caused the latter to groan softly, and it seemed that blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The early stage of the Purple Mansion exerts too much pressure on the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wenjin dared not utter another word.

"Third Brother, I sent someone to contact Qian He. As long as we report to the Small World in advance, there is still a glimmer of hope!" Xu Wenyong said from the side.

"We can only hold out on Zushan Mountain!" All the Xu Lineage members couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, they have already sent some of their younger members away.

They won't make things difficult for their younger clansmen until they have evidence.

Moreover, these clansmen generally have low cultivation levels, but they are exceptionally intelligent. If one of them can break through to the Purple Mansion again, then the Xu Family may still have a chance to be restored.

"Here we come! Form the formation!" Xu Chunlin suddenly shouted.

This shout immediately put everyone on high alert.

They had to hold out until Qian He arrived with the punishment orders from the Taiyi Sect.

In Xu Chunlin's Divine Sense, he could already see many Spirit Boats approaching from afar.

Meanwhile, Array began to emerge from the surrounding mountains and valleys.

Clearly, the Kong Family had been preparing for this for some time.

The one who appeared on the Spirit Boat was none other than Kong Yulong of the Kong Family's Purple Mansion.

"The Xu Family is hiding Beast Wasteland Minor World and is actually a remnant of the Eight Desolations Sect. Today, the Green Willow Kong Family is arresting the Xu Family!" Kong Yulong's voice, like the sound of divine punishment, rolled towards Granary Mountain.

At Idle Cloud Mountain, the Chu Family and Chu Family cultivators also resigned themselves to their fate. Chu Tianfen looked at Chu Xiyu and the others.

At this moment, they landed in a courtyard on the mountain peak.

Unlike other Xu Families who were merely keeping their possessions privately, they were already affiliated with the Green River Sect, which was colluding with the enemy.

The decline of the Yuhe Zhong Family had actually been foreshadowed.

Chu Xiyu's imprisonment was merely a pretext for the Taiyi Sect to gather evidence.

The Jin Family came knocking, giving them time to preserve some of their strength.

However, when they chose to obtain Spirit Stones by selling magical Law Artifacts and obtaining sect Law Artifacts, they had already laid the groundwork. Although Chu Xiyu had placed Lineage jade book restriction array in her mind to prevent her from being searched, she was still vulnerable.

But who can say for sure?

All I can say is that they didn't expect the Taiyi Sect Nascent Soul of the Taiyi Sect might really be gone.

Otherwise, even if they were to sell some Law Artifacts in a borderline manner, the Taiyi Sect wouldn't be so sensitive about it.

However, judging from the infighting among Lineage in Taiqing Commandery, the situation has already escalated to the point where they are encroaching on each other's territories.

The misty, rainy weather only added to the irritability.

Just then, a light appeared in the distance.

That was a Spirit Boat.

Chu Tianfen also knew that the Chu Family had reached its end.

"Even if we lose, let's fight one last time. I'll buy you some time to escape. There's no need for unnecessary sacrifices!" Chu Tianfen said.

He also looked at Chu Xiyu.

They couldn't escape before because they needed to attract the Jin Family openly.

Give Chu Yanqing, the spirit of the Chu Family, hope, and let her lead the most powerful members of the Chu Family to escape to the Zhao Kingdom.

And now, judging by the time, it should be time.

That's Medicine King Valley's territory; even if the Taiyi Sect has a long reach, it can't extend there.

Near Soaring Cloud Peak, in the mountains, a Spirit Boat slowly moved forward.

This Spirit Boat was enormous and extremely well-hidden.

On the Spirit Boat, Kong Guxiang and Jin Chengyun, the patriarch of the Jin Family, traveled together.

Their eyes burned with fervor; according to the information they had received, the news about the secret treasure was true.

All signs now indicate that the treasure is in the hands of the Ye Family.

After all, neither the Chu Family nor the Xu Family Lineage to possess any secret treasure; otherwise, they would have already resorted to desperate measures and left.

Now, only the mysterious Ye Family is a possibility, and the Ye Family has recently been promoting Evil Cultivator. They don't believe that the Ye Family has erased all the evidence.

As long as they find evidence, even if the Ye Family cannot achieve their goal through soul-searching, the treasure that occupies the Ye Family's territory can naturally be searched as well.

"However, Taihao Master and Mingyuan are here..." Jin Chengyun still hesitated.

To be honest, since Tianfu True Person appeared at the Ye Family Restaurant, and the Jin Family had no enmity with the Ye Family, there was absolutely no need for them to get involved.

Taking over the territories of the Chu Family and Chen Families Jin Family is a good choice for the Jin Family.

The Lineage can grow stronger, and in the future, they can even venture into the Taihang Mountain Range.

As for the Beast Tide in the Taihang Mountain Range, they no longer considered it a threat.

After all, the Taiyi Sect had set up checkpoints in Jade Dragon Valley and even had True Person stationed there.

Those True Person Demon Race who didn't want to be attacked from both sides couldn't invade Taihang Commandery.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; otherwise, why would they have established a branch family in Taihang Commandery? After all, every branch family requires a huge initial investment.

"Don't worry, Taihao Master Qian He are investigating the Evil Cultivator. If they find out that the Evil Cultivator is actually from the Ye Family, then the tide will turn, and we won't have to lift a finger!"

"The reason I called Brother Jin here is because the Ye Family killed members of the Li Family and repelled Purple Mansion of the Xu and Mo Families when Ye Haicheng broke through. They must have hidden members of the Purple Mansion, or even the Golden Core realm, behind them!!"

"The secret treasure might just be in their hands!" Kong Guxiang said with certainty.

Of course, Jin Dan's guess was just something she made up. If Jin Dan actually existed, she herself would be worried and wouldn't come.

However, in her opinion, the Ye Family might be hiding Purple Mansion, and they might even have a third-tier Spirit Beast with higher cultivation.

As Lineage specializing in beast taming, this is highly likely, both to prevent the Ye Family cultivators from escaping and to alleviate the pressure from Tianfu True Person.

She just started calling out to Jin Chengyun.

Strictly speaking, Ancient Fragrance True Person belongs to the Taiyi Dharma Peak Faction, while Jin Chengyun belongs to the Taiyi Martial Peak Faction.

As for Tianfu True Person of Taiyi Illusion Peak, they weren't particularly afraid as long as they didn't directly confront him.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chengyun nodded.

As the saying goes in the Cultivation World, risk and reward go hand in hand.

They're betting that the secret treasure really is in the Ye Family's hands, and if they go now, they can probably catch the Ye Family off guard.

After all, their ability to rewind is something those superior beings can't compare to.

Their investigative abilities are also Xiao Ke. The fact that the Ye Family deliberately relocated ordinary people shows that they have a guilty conscience.

The Taihang Mountain Range, Earth Dragon Valley, the vast Gobi Desert, and the endless Huang Sha seem out of place in the entire Taihang Mountain Range.

However, this vast Desert valley is the famous Earth Dragon Valley of the Taihang Mountain Range.

It is also the lair of the Earth Dragon Demon King.

At this moment, countless uninvited guests arrived at the foot of the valley.

The enormous Silver Moon Demon King looked down at the entire Earth Dragon Valley with disdain in its eyes.

As Water Attribute Demon King, he naturally couldn't stand the arid Gobi Valley.

Even if it were given the choice, it wouldn't want to go to such territory.

"Where is the Earth Lizard?" A tremendous roar echoed throughout the entire Earth Dragon Valley.

Of course, there are very few in the entire Taihang Mountain Range who would dare to call the Earth Dragon Demon King that in Earth Dragon Valley.

"Silver Moon Demon King, Earth Dragon Demon King, Three-Eyed Demon King Cloud Lion Demon King are instigating Beast Tide in Jade Dragon Valley!" The response was not from the Earth Dragon Demon King, but from a Golden Giant Lizard that appeared on the neighboring mountain.

Its aura was equally powerful, only one step away from the Fourth Stage, as if it could advance to the Fourth Stage at any moment!

"Beast Tide?" The Silver Moon Demon King was clearly puzzled. Of course, it rarely participated in Beast Tides in previous years. Even when the Demon Beasts in its territory were driven by the Beast Tide, it did not participate, after all, it was at odds with the Earth Dragon Demon King.

In its view, it wasn't even called the Silver Dragon Demon King, yet this slightly larger lizard dared to call itself the Earth Dragon Demon King.

This was something it couldn't tolerate, but after several battles with the Earth Dragon Demon King, it failed to gain the upper hand and thus gave up.

But the relationship was definitely not good.

"Demon King, it's possible that the Human Race are retaliating against the Beast Tide!" the late-stage third-tier Silver Moon Python also spoke up.

It witnessed the cultivators' Array, their massacre, and even their self- Array.

This is something the Earth Dragon Demon King could never do.

Furthermore, the Silver Moon Clan dislikes desert valleys, and the Earth Dragon Clan dislikes lakes.

Therefore, it couldn't have been a feint attack by the Earth Dragon Clan.

"Very well, you are the strongest in Earth Dragon Valley. I command you to unleash Beast Tide and overthrow the Human Race!" The Silver Moon Demon King was furious.

It brought so many people; we can't just give up now.

Moreover, it had received information that the dead Silver Moon Python, like him, carried some of the aura of a dragon.

He was someone who could have become the second Demon King of the Silver Moon Clan, but unexpectedly, he perished at the hands of the Human Race.

This is what angered it the most.

"Lord Silver Moon Demon King, our Demon King is about to conquer Jade Dragon Valley. Why don't we move towards Soaring Cloud Peak? They love nothing more than enslaving our Demon Race!" the giant Golden Lizard spoke again.

And this time, his words drew repeated nods from the Silver Moon Demon King.

"That's it! I Human Race corpses!"

"Roar!"

With a series of roars, the Demon Beast of the entire Taihang Mountain Range gathered once again.

Among these Demon Beasts are the Golden-Armored Beast, the Armored Beast, the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Earth Lizard and the Golden Lizard, as well as the Silver Moon Python and the Red Moon Red Moon Python.

They swept towards the outer perimeter of the Taihang Mountain Range.

Soaring Cloud Peak.

Without stopping, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng had already returned to Soaring Cloud Peak.

Soaring Cloud Peak is now a third-order Array, so even Qian He and Taihao Master can't find out anything about Soaring Cloud Peak.

Therefore, from beginning to end, they all believed that Ye Jingcheng was refining pills and Ye Haicheng was cultivating.

After all, all the members of the Ye Family they knew were there.

Compared to ordinary mortals, cultivators generally possess photographic memory. This is true for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, but for those at the Purple Mansion level, their memory is even more terrifying.

Just then, the first signs of flames appeared in the sky.

A surge of Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi spread towards a point on the mountain peak.

Immediately afterwards, a ripple of Spiritual Qi energy spread out.

Ye Jingcheng walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Taihao Master Qian He both glanced at him sideways.

Especially the former, knowing that Tianfu True Person valued Ye Jingcheng highly, was even more moved at this moment:

"As expected of someone valued by Master, they've already mastered the ability to refine high-grade second-tier spirit pills so quickly!"
