Slaughter Unleashed, True Person Drawn In
Led by Ye Jingcheng, the Ye Family members braved the rain and climbed down Green Willow Mountain.
The mountains were still muddy after being washed by the rain, and the leaves on the trees were also covered with rainwater.
Naturally, the Crimson Flame Fox was displeased; its eyes gleamed with malice. It howled angrily, its tail wagging in the rain, evaporating countless water droplets as several fireballs hurtled toward the center of the Beast Tide.
The instantaneous fireball unleashed unparalleled power, allowing Ye Jingcheng to roughly discern whether any third-tier great demons were hidden within the first and second-tier Beast Tides.
At this point, Ye Jingcheng had to be more cautious than anyone else.
The fireball was extremely powerful, even more so than many second-tier Fire Attribute Secret Method. It blasted many Demon Beast beasts into frantically leaping fire beasts, sometimes letting out miserable cries, sometimes flashing with spiritual light.
However, the inspiration did not extinguish the flames; instead, it seemed to be burning even brighter.
However, at the same time, a large number of Demon Beasts also surged towards the Ye Family.
The Ye Family members also instantly released all their Spirit Beasts.
Ye Jingli released the Crimson Flame Scale Python, Ye Xing shui released the Golden Light Rhinoceros, and the other clansmen each released one or two Spirit Beasts.
In the blink of an eye, the Ye Family's strength increased from a dozen or so to thirty or forty formidable fighters.
This slight change evoked a hint of envy in most members of the Jin Family.
However, some cultivators felt that the Ye Family was wasting a lot of resources precisely because of this, despite being an old and established Lineage.
But it grew weaker day by day, as if it had never been glorious.
Even though Ye Haicheng's breakthrough to the Purple Mansion this time amazed Taihang Commandery, it was only one breakthrough that was truly amazing.
The others seem to be truly unknown.
"Roar!" Deep within the Beast Tide, some powerful demons were clearly getting impatient and were urging first- and second-tier Demon Beasts to attack.
Among them, the Demon Beast in Earth Dragon Valley were clearly more rhythmic and organized, while the Silver Moon Demon Race of Silver Moon Lake simply swarmed forward without any tactics or thought; they were just wild beasts acting on impulse, driven by bloodlust and ferocity.
The Beast Tide has begun, and at this moment, everyone's eyes naturally fall on Ye Jingcheng and Golden Jade Hall.
The former's aura was clearly that of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, catching up with the Golden Jade Hall.
Golden Jade Hall is a genius-level member of the Jin Family; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to decide the Jin Family's spirit medicine business before, and now he can become the head of the Green Willow branch family.
But compared to this, Golden Jade Hall seemed insignificant.
It's not that Golden Jade Hall is inferior, but rather that Ye Jingcheng, who is rumored to possess the Bloodwood Spirit Body, is indeed incredibly talented.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the mountain peak, and they suddenly understood why Tianfu True Person valued Ye Jingcheng so much.
After all, Ye Jingcheng's talent is truly terrifying, and with his spiritual body, it seems that it won't be long before he breaks through to the Purple Mansion.
This means that the Ye Family is very likely to regain the strength of the Purple Mansion Lineage in a very short time.
Moreover, such a Ye Family would be the absolute confidants of Taiyi Illusion Peak.
While everyone was pondering, the group of cultivators had already gathered with the Demon Beasts. The ones at the front were all first-tier Demon Beasts, while a few second-tier Demon Beasts were interspersed in the middle.
They spewed water arrows and unleashed earth spikes, moving at a considerable speed, and their force was formidable as they swept out like ocean waves.
Meanwhile, the Ye Family had chosen a slightly higher position and were launching their attack from above.
The fact that this Beast Tide did not include Three-Eyed Clan -like Demon Beast is incredibly good news.
Otherwise, holding out at Green Willow Mountain would be several times more difficult.
As the Ye Family cultivators spread out their spells, the various clansmen also began to cast Law Technique.
For Water Attribute Demon Beast, Fireball Technique and Golden Arrow are the most effective spells.
With this series of Law Technique, a large area was cleared.
Meanwhile, the Ye Family's Spirit Beasts stood guard in front of the Ye Family's cultivators and clansmen.
Among them, the Golden Light Rhinoceros and the Crimson Scale Flame Python stole the show, both of them being enormous and possessing the strength of the late stage of the first tier.
Seeing this, Ye Jinghu and Ye Jingting, the younger generation of the Ye Family, couldn't help but feel envious. Ye Jingting hadn't obtained a suitable Spirit Beast yet; his current Spirit Beast was just an ordinary Azure Fox, which was only slightly faster and was considered a transitional Spirit Beast.
Ye Jinghu is similar; his Spirit Beast is an Azure-Scaled Python, and his Lineage has prepared four Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle for him.
That was also left by Ye Jingcheng for him to Beast Communion.
Despite their envy, the two were quite skilled, with Ye Jingting constantly throwing out Spirit Talisman and supplementing them with Law Technique.
Such as fast-moving wooden vine talismans, supplemented by powerful rockfall spells.
A wide-range ice rain spell, combined with a powerful Golden Sword Art.
For a time, the number of first-tier Demon Beasts they killed was in no way inferior to that of the other members of the Ye Family.
Needless to say, Ye Jinghu wielded a Thunder Spear, each strike of Thunder Spear was incredibly fast, accompanied by his Azure-Scaled Python drawing attention in front of him.
Almost every shot pierced a bloody hole!
"Die!"
"Go!" The members of the Ye Family gritted their teeth, wishing they could use up all their spiritual power to kill all the Demon Beasts.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the Beast Corpse flew in all directions, while Law Technique light surged continuously.
Ye Jingcheng could see that there was more hostility in the eyes of these Ye Family members, but the suppressed resentment in their hearts had dissipated somewhat.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ye Family's feigned escape certainly eliminated suspicion against the Ye Family and the apprehension of others.
However, if this is not handled properly, it could very well cause the Ye Family to fall into a state of utter despair and death.
Just like cultivation, a balance of tension and relaxation is better.
Hatred also needs to be vented.
This is undoubtedly the best possible situation.
Ye Jingcheng's Golden-Scaled Beast and Crimson Flame Fox also each sought out second-tier Demon Beasts.
The target was the Red Moon Python and Silver Moon Python in the Beast Tide. Although the current task was to resist the Beast Tide, Ye Jingcheng did not forget that, apart from the Golden Falcon, the Jade Jade-Scale Flood Dragon was the most promising to break through to the third rank.
Therefore, once you've collected enough Water Attribute Spirit Beast meat, you should first help the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon break through to the third tier.
This is Ye Jingcheng's top priority.
Even among third-tier Demon Beasts, a half-dragon of the third tier is definitely not weak.
At first, Ye Jingcheng was a little worried that the Golden-Scaled Beast preferred to kill second-tier Golden-Armored Beasts and Earth Lizards, which would delay his plans.
But what was happening before their eyes was that the Golden-Scaled Beast didn't even glance at the Earth Attribute Demon Beasts, and instead focused its attacks on the second-tier Red Moon Python and the second-tier Silver Moon Python.
Its skin is covered with thick golden armor, and even when it is slapped by a second-tier Silver Moon Python, it only shakes its body slightly.
They continued their desperate fight.
It roared three times after slaying each second-tier python demon.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but shake his head. He seemed to have underestimated the Golden-Scaled Beast's resentment towards the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon...
As Ye Jingcheng watched the Demon Beasts being cleared away in circles, with the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Crimson Flame Fox displaying their might, he focused even more intently on overseeing the overall situation.
He wasn't in a hurry. This scorched earth policy wasn't difficult. If the powerful demons didn't come out, they would just be cannon fodder for the Demon Beast.
There are very few purebred Golden Lizards and Silver Moon Python Great Demon inside; instead, there are many miscellaneous Demon Beast.
At this point, he needed to ensure the integrity of his Lineage.
There weren't many cultivators in the Lineage to begin with, and now the resources in his storage ring were more than enough.
Once this Beast Tide is over, the Ye Family will experience unprecedented growth.
However, Ye Jingcheng had to be more careful, and for the time being, Ye Xingliu and Ye Haicheng would no longer be there to guide him.
It can be said that his Lineage placed absolute trust in him.
Few of the older generation of the Ye Family have survived. Currently, only Ye Xinghe, who is stationed in Taihang Marketplace, Ye Haiyi, who is stationed in Cloud-Spreading Mountain, remain. The rest are either the last Clan Elders of the Xing generation.
Or they belong to the Jing generation.
Moreover, Ye Haiyi's time is drawing near.
Now, anyone in the Ye Family can be sharp and distinctive, but he can't.
Ye Jingcheng didn't use any powerful Secret Method; he simply used the Green Wood Spirit Seed, combined with Iron Thorn Wood, and the Evergreen Sword.
However, even with the control of the Green Wood Spirit Seed and its assistance to the Evergreen Sword, Ye Jingcheng still displayed tremendous strength.
A ruthless sword gleam, and ironwood trees everywhere.
This also allowed the Ye Family to kill a large number of first and second-tier Demon Beasts.
The distant Beast Tide finally stopped advancing.
"Sixth Brother, don't chase them!" Ye Jingcheng Ye Jingli back Ye Jingli, who wanted to give chase, as he watched the Beast Tide disperse.
His face was now filled with hostility, as if he was ready to fight to the death, but the spiritual light around him had dimmed, clearly indicating that his spiritual power was insufficient.
"Clean up the battlefield first. Uncle Xingshui, count the number of Spirit Beasts that died among the clansmen. For every Spirit Beast that died, give some extra Beast Corpses as compensation. This time, the Lineage will not take any of the Beast Corpses; distribute them according to their performance!" Ye Jingcheng instructed again. This was just a warm-up; no clansmen had perished, but several Spirit Beasts still inevitably died.
These words brought a smile to the faces of some of the Ye Family members who had participated in the battle.
Even so, the smiles on their faces only lasted for a moment before fading away.
The Beast Tide advanced to Green Willow Mountain, which meant that Cloud-Spreading Mountain Cloud-Spreading Valley and Soaring Cloud Peak had all fallen into the hands of the Beast Tide.
They have now lost all their tribal mountains.
"Let's go back to the Array first!" Ye Jingcheng glanced at the spoils and estimated that he had killed no less than ten second-tier Demon Beasts and no less than one hundred first-tier Demon Beasts this time.
Don't underestimate these; after all, they are all valuable Demon Beast.
Sometimes, Beast Tide is a crisis, but also fortuitous opportunity.
Without a powerful demon driving out so many Demon Beasts, it would be extremely dangerous for ordinary cultivators to hunt them in the Taihang Mountain Range.
Once the inventory was confirmed, Ye Jingcheng immediately led everyone back to the Array on Green Willow Mountain.
Under his Divine Sense, he could already feel that the Beast Tide on the periphery was growing larger and larger.
For shrewd Demon Kings and great demons, when hunting down cultivators, they will mobilize all their great demons.
When attacking certain clan mountains or cities, they will use swarm tactics to wear down the Array and weaken the defending cultivators.
Seek an opportunity to break through.
Therefore, if the Beast Tide comes extremely fiercely, it means it won't last long.
However, if it arrives cautiously and methodically, then this Beast Tide should be treated with even greater care.
"Be careful, this Beast Tide may last for a long time!" Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng and the others return, Taihao Master whispered a reminder.
Taihao Master found that the more he looked at Ye Jingcheng, the more extraordinary he seemed.
No wonder Tianfu True Person has such a high opinion of Ye Jingcheng. Just from his experience in the series of battles just now, he is stronger than many Foundation Establishment of the Taiyi Sect.
Moreover, there are two powerful Spirit Beasts, which seem to have reached the mid-to-late stage of the second tier.
Unconsciously, they also showed more favoritism towards Ye Jingcheng.
"Thank you, Senior Taihao." Ye Jingcheng nodded, without much expression on his face.
Instead, they continued to arrange for the Ye Family cultivators to begin restoring Spiritual Qi, feeding the Spirit Beasts, and healing Spirit Beast injuries right on the city wall.
There was no attempt to conceal it, as if Ye Jingcheng, as the head of the family, was unaware of it until Ye Xing shui reminded him, at which point he activated some spirit-isolation Array.
This scene naturally made Golden Jade Hall and others from the Jin Family feel that Ye Jingcheng was still somewhat immature.
But in reality, it was Ye Jingcheng who was telling everyone else that the Ye Family was nothing special.
It's just that I do more research on Spirit Beasts and feed more Spirit Beasts.
As for the others, perhaps only Ye Jinghu seems to have some talent.
However, at Ye Jingcheng's instruction, Ye Jinghu did not unleash any lightning-based Law Technique this time.
He only used one Thunder Spear.
So even if someone makes a guess, it's just a guess. With Tianfu True Person protecting the Ye Family and having suffered heavy losses, no one would risk their own interests by targeting the Ye Family at this time.
Just then, several Spirit Boats appeared in the sky behind them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of forces and cultivators from Taihang Marketplace.
At a glance, there were no fewer than two thousand people.
Most of the Rogue Cultivators, while Lineage cultivators were in the minority. After all, the Jin Family and Kong Families were in action, and the remaining Chu Family and Xu Family cultivators had also fled.
However, it is extremely difficult to determine how many of these Rogue Cultivators are spies and how many are genuine Rogue Cultivators.
At the head of the Spirit Boat was the Miaofa True Person of Taiyi Purple Peak, dressed in a Taiyi robe, his face dignified and solemn.
The expressions of the cultivators behind him were quite different.
After all, there are a great many cultivators flooding into Taihang Marketplace now, and it is extremely chaotic. There are many blood cultivators and Devil Cultivators, as well as a large number of spies from other cultivation kingdoms and sects.
It wasn't easy to check carefully before, but now it's perfect, since Miaofa True Person has packed everything up and brought it over.
When the Beast Tide arrives, every cultivator has the responsibility and obligation to resist Beast Tide.
On the Spirit Boat, Ye Jingcheng also saw Ye Jingyong, his wife Chu Yanliu, his son Ye Wen, and more than ten members of the Ye Family in Taihang Marketplace.
Ye Wen is now ten years old, which is the age when his Spirit Roots can be tested.
Now that they're with the two of them, there's a very high chance they have Spirit Roots.
Besides the Spirit Boats at Taihang Marketplace, there are also Spirit Boats belonging to the Kong Family in the distance.
If the Jin Family cultivators were merely dejected, the Kong Family cultivators were even more somber.
The Jade Slips of each family's patriarch contain the most important information of their respective families, and are guarded by dedicated cultivators to ensure that the Lineage can react immediately in case of any unexpected events.
Under normal circumstances, the Kong Family would have retreated immediately.
But now, the Kong Family has established a branch in Taihang Commandery and has forcibly seized the Xu Family's property.
Now, even if he wanted to shrink the Lineage's sphere of influence, he couldn't.
They could only hope that the Taiyi Sect would continue to support them so that a new Golden Core could be born as soon as possible.
But how could a new Golden Elixir be born so easily?
Moreover, whether Taiyi Sect will provide support or secretly infiltrate in a more terrifying way is another matter entirely.
Of course, what the cultivators on the Spirit Boat thought was unimportant.
For Ye Jingcheng, there were quite a few powerful cultivators coming this time. If he could defend against the Beast Tide's impact on Green Willow Mountain, the Ye Family might be able to protect tens of thousands of mortals in the Green Willow Mountain area from death.
Soaring Cloud Peak and Cloud-Spreading Mountain can also be restored as soon as possible.
The fate of the Ye Family of Taihang Commandery in the Yan Kingdom will be preserved as much as possible.
That would naturally be much easier for him.
