Silver Moon Beast Tide; Mysterious Spirit Ship
In the misty, rain-shrouded valley, Ye Jingcheng calmly walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion. Even though he wasn't entirely calm at the moment, he still checked the prepared elixirs.
After confirming that there were no problems, they left the Alchemy Pavilion.
Taihao Master and Qian He both arrived outside the Ye Family's underground fire chamber.
Given that these two are high-ranking figures and belong to the upper sect, the rest of the Ye Family had no ability to stop them.
As for the two masters, they had been waiting at the Ye Family for three days and wanted an explanation, so they came directly to the Ye Family's underground fire room.
If the Ye Family doesn't come up with a plan soon, they'll need to report back to Jade Dragon Valley, since that's where the Taiyi Sect truly defends against the Beast Tide.
The reason why Taiyi Sect attacked Jade Dragon Valley back then was precisely because of the importance of Jade Dragon Valley's terrain. Inside it was the Red Glow Ridge, and outside was a flat plain. If the Beast Tide rushed out from there, Taihang Commandery would find it extremely difficult to defend.
Moreover, there was no powerful Lineage guarding that location.
"Congratulations, Ye Family, on another breakthrough in alchemy!" Taihao Master naturally offered his congratulations, which came from the bottom of his heart.
Although Ye Jingcheng's elder brother Ye Jingteng, was his disciple, in the Cultivation World, seniority is often determined by individual seniority.
Therefore, after witnessing Ye Jingcheng's formidable alchemy skills, he became even more convinced that Ye Jingcheng would become his junior brother in the future.
"Senior Taihao, Senior Qian He, I have gained some insights, so I have refined some high-grade spiritual pills. If this has delayed your business, I am willing to accept the punishment!" Ye Jingcheng's attitude was extremely sincere, and he also took out the high-grade spiritual pills that he had refined in advance.
After showing it to the two of them, he took it back.
Qian He had always been at odds with the Ye Family, but he couldn't see anything wrong with the elixir, so he didn't make a fuss about it.
But she still let out a dissatisfied snort.
"We must find a solution to the blood cultivator issue as soon as possible. Even if the two of us are here, it will be difficult to find them. Naturally, we need the cooperation of your Ye Family. It would be best to use some of the Ye Family's resource points, such as the Spirit Herb Garden, or some important places with many cultivators but no high-level combat power, as bait!" Qian He's move can only be described as a bad idea.
Although this involves Evil Cultivator, if the Evil Cultivator is found, the Ye Family could still suffer a severe blow.
The Ye Family originally had few members.
"Senior Qian He, I'm afraid that's not true. Apart from the area near Soaring Cloud Peak, there are hardly any mortal towns left in our area!" Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
In the past three days, he estimated that Qian He Taihao Master had checked on them several times with their Divine Sense.
However, since Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng had not yet emerged from seclusion, they could not conduct an on-site investigation.
"The Ye Family does indeed have relatively few cultivators. If they were to use their bodies to seduce us, they might not even last until we arrive. This time, there must be a third-tier Evil Cultivator among them!" Taihao Master also spoke up for the Ye Family from the side.
He saw a third-tier blood cultivator in the market, so he did not approve of the tactic of seduction.
Seeing this, Qian He Dao Heart plan had failed and remained silent.
Everyone spoke rather tactfully, so he didn't lose face, but then he looked at the summit of Soaring Cloud Peak.
"Patriarch Ye Family, why has Spirit Beast Valley been unusually quiet lately?"
As everyone knows, the Ye Family has Spirit Beast Valley. Although the Spirit Beasts are intelligent, they shouldn't be so quiet.
They had seen the Ye Family's Spirit Beast Valley once before, but it was nothing like this.
"It's definitely quieter than usual!" Ye Jingcheng felt a little flustered at this moment.
After all, the Ye Family's Spirit Beasts had all been put away.
Normally, Spirit Beasts wouldn't put themselves away, so this is somewhat suspicious.
"The main reason is that we have already taken away Spirit Beasts with combat capabilities. Our Ye Family is ready to wipe out the blood cultivators at any time!" Ye Jingcheng's face remained extremely calm, and he smoothly covered up the matter.
He then looked towards Ye Haicheng's cave abode.
"My great-grandfather has also emerged from seclusion!"
As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Ye Haicheng descended from the mountaintop, but today he had taken off his Spirit-Isolating Robe and put on another brocade Daoist robe.
Even his hair was tied up, and his expression became much more handsome.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but admire Ye Haicheng's attention to detail.
At Moonwatch Lake in the Taihang Mountain Range, both Ye Haicheng and Ye Jingcheng took the Bone-Transforming Pill. Ye Haicheng transformed into the image of Kong Yulong, while Ye Jingcheng transformed into the image of Kong Wanjun.
However, Ye Haicheng was still a little worried because Kong Yulong's hair was down, and that if he continued to wear it down, the Silver Moon Python Great Demon would recognize him.
Ye Jingcheng was somewhat lacking in attention to detail in this regard.
Fortunately, he was wearing the Ye Family's head robes, which were somewhat different from the Spirit-Isolating Robes.
"I've been practicing a Secret Method, which has taken up some time. I hope you fellow Daoists won't mind!" Ye Haicheng said.
There was confidence in his eyes.
That confidence was as if he had truly mastered a Secret Method, greatly increasing his strength.
"It's alright. Taking advantage of the chaos is the duty of all cultivators in the Taiyi Sect!" Taihao Master said firmly.
Ye Haicheng also sent out a command token.
"All late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Ye Family, assemble!" Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of the Ye Family began to gather.
"Fellow Daoists, I have crafted a Blood-Tracking Talisman, which should be able to track the whereabouts of Blood Cultivators. However, we must first go to the Council Hall and gather all the Ye Family cultivators!"
"This time, we mortals have suffered losses of tens of thousands. If this matter is left unresolved, the century-old prestige of my Ye Family will be completely destroyed!" Ye Haicheng said authoritatively.
The two exchanged a glance, not expecting that the Ye Family was prepared. They immediately went to the Ye Family's Council Hall and indeed saw most of the Ye Family members gathered there.
Among them, there were more than thirty people in the late stage of Qi Refining, about fifty people in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and they paid no attention to the remaining people in the early stage of Qi Refining.
The Ye Family's fighting strength is indeed as described.
Although Qian He disliked the Ye Family, at this moment he felt that the Ye Family was not pretending.
The sheer force of mobilizing the entire clan is something those pretending to be cultivators can't match.
Moreover, what they saw in the eyes of these Ye Family members was boundless hatred; such a reaction would not have been possible without the loss of many mortals.
It's impossible for everyone in the Ye Family to be extremely cunning!
However, just as everyone in the Ye Family was getting ready to go, they suddenly heard a roar coming from afar.
And the entire earth trembled slightly.
They felt as if they had seen that sound, like muffled thunder, somewhere before.
The Divine Senses of several Purple Mansions all probed towards the mountains.
Behind Yejialingyun Peak are countless mountains, which are much higher than the mountains of Chixia Ridge.
But their spirituality is much lacking.
Therefore, this mountain range is also known as the Ethereal Mountain Range.
Beast Tides almost never originate from here, because there are hardly any Demon Beast here to begin with.
Otherwise, the Ye Family's ancestral mountain would not have been located on Soaring Cloud Peak.
"The Beast Tide is coming! The Earth Dragon Demon King has actually insidiously divided his forces!" Taihao Master was also extremely shocked at this moment.
The reason why Human Race were able to suppress the Demon Race within the Taihang Mountain Range in the past was that although the Demon Kings possessed intelligence, they were still far inferior to cultivators who were well-versed in various military strategies and tactics.
But the appearance of this Earth Dragon Demon King undoubtedly overturned some of their perceptions.
At Red Glow Ridge, they displayed extraordinary strength, and their control and attacks on the Demon Race seemed to follow certain specific rules.
Managing so many Demon Race is far more difficult than Human Race cultivators.
After all, most Demon Beasts only develop some intelligence at the second rank, and they generally need to be at the third rank to speak.
"Too fast, too much!" Qian He's expression changed.
"Quickly set up a formation, there's no escape now!" Taihao Master also spoke up.
In his hand, a cloud-shaped talisman shot out into the distance, containing a distress signal.
If Soaring Cloud Peak falls, then Cloud-Spreading Mountain and Green Willow Lake will be next.
This means that at least a dozen counties and towns in Taihang Commandery will fall into the hands of the Beast Tide, and most of the mortals in Taihang Commandery will perish in the beasts' mouths.
It was a huge disaster for the entire Taihang Commandery.
"How is this possible!" Ye Haicheng immediately activated the Array, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Senior Taihao, the scale of this Beast Tide is too large. Could it be that the Evil Cultivators have attacked the great demons of the Taihang Mountain Range?" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but ask in a daze.
The Array of spiritual barriers on Soaring Cloud Peak was activated instantly, with three barriers covering the entire mountain.
And that's still not foolproof.
"I also have a high-grade third-tier Array here, called the Scarlet Sun Nine Heavens Grand Formation. Set it up properly, and it might be able to hold out for a while with the help of the third-tier Spirit Vein!" Taihao Master took out another Array.
Taiyi Illusion Peak is inherently more skilled in Array, Taihao Master, as a senior member of Illusion Peak, also possesses numerous Array.
However, there wasn't enough time, so he could only unleash his most powerful Array.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, if the situation worsens, we must make plans as soon as possible!" Taihao Master reminded him.
If he can't hold out, he'll flee on his own.
It's impossible for us to live or die together with the Ye Family.
He also reminded the Ye Family that they could abandon some members of their clan at crucial moments.
After all, most of the Ye Family members haven't grown up yet; there are only three Foundation Establishment.
For the Ye Family, if they can preserve most of their strength, they may still be able to make a comeback.
As for now, there is absolutely no suspicion that the Ye Family was behind it.
After all, who would want to kill themselves?
Even at this moment, his previous suspicions that the Mo Family was related to the Ye Family completely vanished.
If the Ye Family truly possessed such capabilities, how could they possibly be threatened by the Beast Tide today?
As time went by, the shadows of some Demon Beast could finally be seen in the distance.
In the sky, silver, gold, and yellow light each occupied half.
Flying in the sky were none other than the Silver Moon Python Great Demon, the Armored Beast, and the Golden Lizard Great Demon.
Beneath the ground, hordes of Armored Beasts, Golden-Scaled Beasts, Earth Lizards, and soil lizards surged forth, along with numerous Silver Moon Pythons, Blood-Patterned Crocodiles, and Red Moon Pythons.
This magnificent momentum, like ocean waves, surges in unstoppable and unchallenged.
The key issue is that it happened too fast, and there was absolutely no warning.
"Senior Taihao, it's all my fault. Because of the Evil Cultivators ' chaos, I withdrew most of the Ye Family's cultivators from the Ethereal Mountain Range!" Ye Jingcheng was also extremely frightened at this moment.
Without prior warning, they only realized the danger when the Demon Beast was right in front of them. This was a major taboo for the Ye Family.
If it were any other Lineage, Taihao Master would definitely suspect the Ye Family.
But now, the Beast Tide is wiping out the mortals and cultivators of the Ye Family!
"What is that?" But just then, the group of cultivators made a strange discovery: at the end of the mountain range, a Spirit Boat suddenly appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it transformed into a terrifying beam of light.
"Could it be that the cultivator on that Spirit Boat caused trouble in the Taihang Mountain Range?" The Ye Family was also puzzled, but soon, Ye Jingcheng tentatively asked.
The Spirit Boat had a spirit-isolating array, so he couldn't tell who it was or what the cultivators inside were like.
But that doesn't stop him from framing someone.
No matter who it is, the Ye Family has no allies in Taihang Commandery.
Even the Chu Family had already broken ties with the Chu Family Ye Family after they transported mortals to their territory.
After all, the Chu Family was Lineage that was being targeted by the Taiyi Sect. Sending people to the Ye Family was clearly an attempt to get rid of the Ye Family.
The Spirit Boat was also extremely fast, seemingly at the speed of Fifth Stage, which greatly surprised Taihao Master Qian He.
Even at this moment, they all agreed with Ye Jingcheng's explanation.
After all, only cultivators of that caliber could risk provoking a new Beast Tide.
Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would have been unable to leave the Taihang Mountain Range long ago.
"That's the Silver Moon Demon King!" Taihao Master's face turned extremely ugly again.
"Just run away, don't bother guarding the Array!" Taihao Master said directly at this moment.
"Soaring Cloud Peak, give up!" He saw the enormous Silver Moon Flood Dragon in the distance, which showed no intention of stopping at all.
They actually took out Spirit Boat, abandoning even the Array, and headed inland.
Seeing this, Ye Haicheng also took out his Spirit Boat and ordered all members of the Ye Family to Spirit Boat, and they began to flee.
Ye Haicheng's Spirit Boat is a mid-grade third-tier Spirit Boat, a newly crafted Law Treasure, and its speed is far inferior to that of Taihao Master Qian He.
However, at this moment, their Divine Senses revealed that the Silver Moon Demon King had already caught up with the Spirit Boat from before.
As the enormous golden tail crashed down.
The Spirit Boat that had just been fleeing was instantly slammed into the ground, and a terrifying roar resounded through the sky.
Soon after, several streaks of light also shot out!
Taihao Master recognized several of the streaks of light at a glance.
"Are those Ancient Fragrance True Person and Chengyun True Person?"
