Shocking News, Prepare for Battle!
Even now, the rain is still pouring down.
The Dark Cloud in the sky remained gloomy, like a heavy stone pressing on everyone's hearts.
The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.
Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng's words, Jin Zongliang flew directly out of the Array on Green Willow Mountain.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jin Zongliang glared at him immediately.
Upon hearing this, the aura of the Purple Mansion fell entirely upon the Ye Family.
Ye Jingcheng was naturally the first to be attacked, but at this moment his eyes were defiant, showing no sign of yielding.
At this moment, he was no longer just Ye Jingcheng, but also represented the Ye Family. The Ye Family could decline, but at this moment, they could not lose even a shred of their integrity.
Ye Jingcheng did not speak further.
Instead, he allowed Jin Zongliang to unleash his power.
His body was also trembling. The difference between the Purple Mansion and the Foundation Establishment was too great. Moreover, Jin Zongliang was not an ordinary Purple Mansion. Even Ye Haicheng was far inferior in the Grand Competition.
After a long while, Jin Zongliang finally lost his imposing aura, and his breath weakened considerably.
"Tell me in detail?" Jin Zongliang continued to inquire.
However, the Ye Family was not allowed to enter the Array.
The Jin Family patriarch instigated the Beast Tide; they cannot bear the blame for that.
That's why he was so nervous.
However, Ye Jingcheng still did not answer.
This scene enraged Jin Zongliang!
"Don't let me discover you're Demon Race!"
"If I were a spy, would you think Tianfu True Person's judgment was flawed?" Ye Jingcheng finally spoke.
That one sentence was enough to instantly extinguish Jin Zongliang's imposing aura.
It was as if he had thrown a series of punches, only to find himself subdued by Ye Jingcheng in one move. And you should know that Ye Jingcheng was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But Ye Jingcheng's words forced him to think deeply.
Indeed, the Tianfu True Person appeared at the Ye Family Restaurant and warned Kong Yulong, as well as Golden Jade Hall, not to touch the Ye Family, already spoke volumes.
Moreover, the fact that the Beast Tide has now swept through the entire Ye Family shows that the Ye Family has never hidden its strength.
It would be highly implausible for a Lineage that has only just broken through to the Purple Mansion possess the secret treasures of the Eight Desolations Sect 'Beast Wasteland.
If such a secret treasure truly existed, they would have already risen to prominence and could very well have become a Golden Core Lineage.
Of course, it's also possible that the secret treasure has already been offered to the Tianfu True Person.
But regardless of the circumstances, the Ye Family is now in an invincible position.
The Jin Family, at this moment, had to consider how to stop the Beast Tide.
The Lineage of Taihang Commandery, having wielded the power of feudal lords, are bound to suffer the calamity of Beast Tide.
The Ye Family and Chu Family are gone, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Xu Family should be in a similar situation.
This also means that the Jin Family and the Kong Family will be the main force responsible for the Beast Tide from now on.
If they want to avoid this outcome, their only option is to withdraw from Taihang Commandery.
This was naturally unacceptable to the Jin Family and Kong Family, who had been plotting for so long.
"Tianfu True Person go to Soaring Cloud Peak?" Jin Zongliang began to change the subject, while Golden Jade Hall, with keen insight, activated the Array.
The Ye Family members entered Green Willow Mountain.
Only by entering Green Willow Mountain can everyone be truly safe.
As for ordinary people, they can only be allowed to continue migrating into Green Willow Lake.
The Beast Tide have a long history in Taihang Commandery, so the mortals are well aware of them. Even if they have complaints, what can they do?
"Brother Ye, has my ancestor really gone?" Unlike Jin Zongliang's arrogance, Golden Jade Hall was much more amiable.
It felt like the first time the two of them met to discuss their collaboration.
Ye Jingcheng did not react, and his face remained very amiable.
However, both of them knew perfectly well that things could never return to what they used to be.
The favors and conveniences the Jin Family had shown in the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm were no longer available.
After all, this time, the Jin Family wanted to shut the Ye Family out of the mountain gate. If it weren't for the reputation of Tianfu True Person, they probably wouldn't have cared about the Ye Family's life or death.
"That's right, both Qian He and Taihao Master saw this clearly!" Ye Jingcheng didn't hide anything.
Golden Jade Hall, however, looked rather grim.
Regardless of whether their ancestors were related to the Beast Tide or not, they are now inextricably linked.
In fact, what they were most worried about at the moment was not the issue of taking the blame, but whether the Jin Family patriarch was still alive.
Two pseudo-Golden Core early-stage cultivators trying to stop a demon king at the late-stage Golden Core stage is simply too difficult.
"They've entered our Ye Family's Soaring Cloud Peak. There's a third-tier grand formation there, so there shouldn't be any problems, Brother Jin!" Ye Jingcheng reassured him.
But instead of comforting her, her expression worsened.
If they were to flee, there might be a chance of escape, but holding their ground would be far more dangerous. It's true that the Ye Family's Array is at the third level, but these are all Fourth Stage Golden Core combatants!
However, no matter how bad Golden Jade Hall's complexion was, it had nothing to do with Ye Jingcheng.
Looking at the dusty sky, Ye Jingcheng instructed all members of the Ye Family to use Spirit Stone to restore their Spiritual Qi, ensuring that the spiritual power was abundant and not dispersed.
The closer you get to a critical moment, the more careful you need to be.
Currently, the Ye Family has fewer than eighty cultivators remaining. Even if we include the few in Taichang Market, Taihang Marketplace, and those who have gone out, the Ye Family members can only barely number over one hundred.
However, the combat strength of these hundred-odd people was far inferior to that of before.
At a glance, most of them belong to the "Jing" generation, with a small number belonging to the "Xing" and "Qing" generations.
Among them, there were only a dozen or so late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli. If you include Ye Jingyong and Ye Xingyi, there are only four of them.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look up at the sky, his face filled with sorrow, somewhat resembling the rain curtain above.
However, his heart was pounding.
Unlike before, he belonged only to the group of people in the Ye Family who were kept in the dark.
This time, he is the only person in the Ye Family who currently knows the truth.
To be honest, this operation has far exceeded the Ye Family's original expectations.
After all, they only wanted to frame the Jin Family and Kong Family's Purple Mansion and kill one or two Purple Mansion from each family. They never expected that the Kong Family patriarch and the Jin Family patriarch would secretly infiltrate the Ye Family's county town.
They were also discovered by the Silver Moon Demon King.
In this way, the Ye Family and the Beast Tide will no longer have any connection.
Even if they try to justify it, it will be the Jin Family and Kong Family who do so.
However, the closer it gets to this point, the more Ye Jingcheng wants to continue this charade.
Even at this moment, he felt that if the Beast Tide ended, the Ye Family would have a greater chance of development, and at that time, there would be nothing to restrain the Ye Family.
For him, he could confidently break through to the Purple Mansion.
After a long while, a streak of light appeared in the distance, along with various beast roars. A copper coin flew over from the sky.
There were very few cultivators depicted on the copper coins.
Besides the several Venerables Tianfu True Person that Ye Jingcheng had seen before, there was only one more person, Jin Chengyun, the patriarch of the Jin Family.
Moreover, Jin Chengyun was on the verge of death, his body covered in knife wounds.
The knife mark resembled fish scales, suggesting it was caused by the Silver Moon Demon King unleashing his Silver Moon Scale Blade.
"Ancestor!" Jin Zongliang repeatedly activated the Array, his eyes filled with fear and confusion about the situation.
He didn't even know the whereabouts of his ancestor, and at first he didn't believe it.
But now, it turns out that what Ye Jingcheng said is true.
"Greetings to Senior Master Tianfu True Person, and all the esteemed senior brothers!" Jin Zongliang, after supporting Jin Chengyun with a mournful cry, began to bow to the True Person Master Tianfu.
But then they saw Tianfu True Person, dressed in a purple robe, his large frame appearing somewhat forlorn.
"The rest of the Ye Family members probably left with Soaring Cloud Peak. These are some of the Spirit-Isolating Robe and clothing left behind after their self-destruction!" Tianfu True Person took out several pieces of robes.
These robes were clearly not from a single garment, indicating that a significant number of members of the Ye Family had confessed.
A cultivator's spiritual platform can actually self-destruct, but this kind of self-destruction is useless for cultivators, since the physical changes before self-destruction are extremely obvious.
However, it was more than enough to deal with Demon Beast, and it also saved a chance for the Ye Family members to survive.
"Please accept my condolences, but rest assured, as long as I am here, I will protect your Ye Family!" said Tianfu True Person.
After saying that, he went up to the top of Green Willow Peak, took out the array plate, and began to set up the Array.
The Beast Tide is not over yet.
The Silver Moon Demon King did not retreat.
Next, Green Willow Mountain and Green Willow Lake will be the line of defense against the Beast Tide.
If Green Willow Mountain is lost again, most of the mortals in Taihang Commandery will perish in the jaws of beasts.
Even if the Beast Tide ended then, the entire Taihang Commandery would be half-destroyed.
"This Beast Tide is quite strange. You all need to be careful and be on your guard!" This time, it was Master Tianzhen who spoke.
Although he was a top-tier third-order Array, he was still not qualified to interfere with Fourth Stage arrays.
Taihao Master also walked up to Ye Jingcheng.
"The world is about to change! The Ancient Fragrance True Person of the Kong Family has already perished, devoured by the Silver Moon Demon King!" Upon Taihao Master this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback.
"Of course, your Soaring Cloud Peak is now almost ruined as well," Taihao Master added.
Seeing that Ye Jingcheng's expression was still not good, Taihao Master did not say much. He asked if Ye Jingcheng needed help taking some of his clansmen who were in the early stage of Qi Refining to Taichang Market.
There are nearly eighty people here in Ye Jing's group, but nearly forty of them are teenagers in the early stages of Qi Refining.
These are almost all seedlings that have risen to prominence in the last six years.
Fortunately, the Ye Family had already ascended to immortality once before the Beast Tide; otherwise, with so many mortals lost, the next ascension ceremony would certainly have been much less effective.
While the Ye Family and others hesitated, Tianfu True Person in the sky had already set up the Fourth Stage Array and flew into the vicinity of Green Willow Lake to begin recovering his True Essence.
The patriarch of the Jin Family also went along.
Jin Zongliang's expression was also extremely bad at this moment.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that occupying the Chu Family's territory was of little significance.
At this critical juncture, the Jin Family patriarch was seriously injured, and his future combat strength may be reduced to less than 70%.
In addition, he was originally False Core Cultivator, and there was a certain gap between him and a true Golden Core cultivator.
The only good news is that the patriarch of the Kong Family has passed away.
This also represents enormous potential.
The distant Beast Tide continued to surge, rising and falling from the mountains.
The powerful demons did not arrive immediately.
It seems that after the surprise attack, they all had a great feast, and now first and second-tier Demon Beast are slowly surging up.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng sensed through his Divine Sense that many first-tier demonic snakes and first-tier earth lizards, led by second-tier Demon Beast, were constantly arriving.
His current Divine Sense is only slightly weaker than that of the Purple Mansion cultivator.
At this moment, Jin Zongliang clearly also noticed this situation.
He looked at the Master Tianzhen.
"We can go out and fight, and establish a scorched earth policy. We are not adequately prepared for this Beast Tide, and we cannot allow them to advance too soon!" Master Tianzhen replied.
This place is, after all, just a branch of the Green Willow Jin Family. Including the cultivators from the Ye Family, there are only about three hundred people in total.
Faced with such a massive Beast Tide, if we allow them to pile up in front of Green Willow Mountain, we might actually be breached.
"And we must always be aware that there are Earth Attribute Demon Beast below that might suddenly appear!" Taihao Master added from the side.
The current members of the Taiyi Sect naturally wouldn't make a move.
These first and second-tier cultivators could only be members of the Ye Family and Kong Family.
Golden Jade Hall also stepped forward at this moment.
At this critical juncture, everyone has an inescapable responsibility.
He began selecting fast-moving cultivators from the Jin Family.
And Ye Jingcheng is the same:
"Jingli and Jing Tai!" Ye Jingcheng addressed each member of the Ye Family. Since the Jin Family had sent someone, the Ye Family naturally couldn't refuse.
"Plus Jinghu and Jingting!" Ye Jingcheng said.
This statement took everyone by surprise.
Ye Jinghu is doing well, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but Ye Jingting is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Together with other members of the Ye Family, they formed a team of fifteen.
Among them, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators: Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli.
Both of them stepped forward.
Ye Jingyun, the Alchemist, stayed behind.
Of course, the remaining members of the Ye Family's Inner Hall also looked at Ye Jinghu at this moment.
Whether he is a genius of the Ye Family or not, let him prove it on this battlefield.
Ye Jinghu is now eighteen years old. He has a robust and chubby appearance and looks quite like Ye Jingyong, except that his eyes are very shrewd and sharp.
He also enjoys a good reputation within the Ye Family.
Ye Jingting was brought from Green Cloud Town by the Ye Family, and she was also the granddaughter of the old town mayor.
The old town mayor passed away three years ago.
Ye Jingting's Spirit Root wasn't very good, but her tenacity in cultivation was even better than Ye Jingcheng's back then. She also had an extremely strong personality and displayed remarkable strength at Soaring Cloud Peak.
Moreover, her talisman-making skills were extremely impressive, which enabled her to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen.
Although he only recently broke through to the Green Grain Art, which is relatively easy to master, he is still considered an extremely inspiring example among young cultivators.
This temperament is also extremely suitable for Beast Communion.
Today's battle is a battle of Beast-Link Mark between the two.
If you go through it, you will obtain the Beast-Link Mark; if you don't, naturally, even if you are saved, you will become just another ordinary person.
The Ye Family now has few members, so it is necessary to expand the Beast-Link Mark.
It should be noted that the Ye Family pacified Moonwatch Lake this time, and there were a large number of Spirit Beast Cubs. Most of these were given to Hidden Peak, but quite a few were left behind.
Moreover, the Ye Family's water-grade pills, Golden Rank Pill, and Earth-Tier Pill are already on the agenda, and the replenishment of Beast Soul in the Beast-Link Tower is also extremely complete.
As long as the situation remains stable, that will be a time for the Ye Family to develop rapidly.
Of course, this scene would be viewed with pessimism by others.
They felt that the Ye Family was already extinct.
That's exactly the effect Ye Jingcheng wanted.
"Go!" Ye Jingcheng released his Crimson Flame Fox and Golden-Scaled Beast.
Of course, he had the Crimson Flame Fox hide its tail.
Even so, the two-tailed Crimson Flame Fox still possessed a formidable presence.
The golden armor of the Golden-Scaled Beast was also exceptionally beautiful, and its size far exceeded that of the Golden-Scaled Beast in the Beast Tide.
