Sealing the Mountain, Was It Given to the Wrong Person?

The atmosphere in the hall changed instantly. Ye Jingcheng remained silent, and no one else dared to speak up at this moment.

After all, the leak of the Ice Spirit Root could be a big or small matter, and it was indeed something they hadn't done properly.

They could only look at Ye Jingcheng and wait for instructions.

At that moment, they felt immense pressure.

Even though some of them were much older than Ye Jingcheng.

But unknowingly, Ye Jingcheng has now become a pillar of the Ye Family.

Every word he uttered carried immense weight.

"Has the news been blocked?" Ye Jingcheng asked after a long silence.

"It's been sealed off. The clansman who leaked the information has been given a job at the Ye Family's Alchemy Pavilion. He won't be able to leave Soaring Cloud Peak for a while, and the rest of the clansmen have also given him many instructions!" Ye Xingqun continued.

In Ye Jingcheng's absence, both Ye Jinghu and he were considered deputy heads of the family.

Ye Jinghu didn't know how to handle it, but he still knew he had to keep the news under wraps.

"What about the child?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"That child is still in the Clan School Hall. Her name is Ye Qingshuang, and she is a member of the clan from Upper Yuan County. Her grandfather also had Spirit Roots, but he passed away during a Beast Tide."

"Continue to increase her training in clan studies; cultivation is secondary. We must make sure she develops a stronger sense of honor towards the Lineage!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"For the past six months, except for non-essential personnel, the mountain has been closed off, and no one is allowed to leave the mountain!"

"Furthermore, we must intensify our admonitions to the Yu Family members. I hope this kind of thing will not happen again!" Ye Jingcheng said these words with great emphasis.

Although it was only leaked within the clan's mountain, in reality, it could be leaked even by members of the Ye Family themselves, since they were not Inner Hall cultivators of the Ye Family.

After all, planting spies is all too common.

The Ye Family can only distinguish between the Inner Hall cultivators.

However, at this moment, he wanted to see if the Taiyi Sect could actually find out about this matter.

"Yes, Patriarch!" Everyone nodded at this moment.

"Go ahead and get busy. Focus on improving your cultivation during this time. Also, remind the rest of the clansmen that we have Foundation Establishment and Purple Palace Jade Liquid now, and the Lineage will provide full support. But these resources will always be reserved for the hardest-working people!" Ye Jingcheng's words drew nods from everyone.

After Ye Jingcheng finished speaking, he looked at Ye Jinghu:

"Starting tomorrow, you will go to Hidden Valley. I hope you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of Hidden Valley!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinghu nodded and hummed in agreement, keeping his head extremely low.

He knew he had made a mistake again.

This time, Ye Jingcheng didn't say anything to him, but it only made him feel worse.

After Ye Jinghu left, only Ye Xingqun remained in the hall. Ye Xingqun was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Ye Jingcheng had asked him to stay behind alone.

This could mean he has some tasks to complete.

After the others had left, Ye Jingcheng set up the Array again before speaking.

"Uncle Xingqun, are you familiar with me?"

Ye Jingcheng's words left Ye Xingqun somewhat bewildered.

However, I will definitely speak up:

"Familiar!"

"Alright, Uncle Xingqun, in half a month, take the Bone-Transforming Pill and go to Taihang Marketplace to inspect the Lineage's restaurants and Pill Pavilion Beast Shop!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"Furthermore, you should check on this every so often, preferably once a year, including the Lineage's accounts and the behavior of family members outside the family!"

"Yes, Patriarch..." Ye Xingqun nodded.

"There are some things to take care of. You'll be with me for the next few days. When we're alone, just do what I usually do!" Ye Jingcheng knew Ye Xingqun was curious, but he didn't say anything.

He was going to pick up ten people from the Wan Family and find out the location of the Teleportation Array in the Far Western Sand Sea.

To find a place where the Ye Family can truly develop.

This matter must not be discussed until it is accomplished, and even if it is accomplished, the Ye Family must keep it a secret.

In Ye Jingcheng's view, the Spirit Treasure was coveted by so many people, and given the Ye Family's special status in the Beast Wasteland, it was only when a true Nascent Soul Cultivator emerged that it could truly step into the limelight.

After giving Ye Xingqun several instructions, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Clan School Hall, eager to see the Ye Family's new Ice Spirit Root genius.

The Ye Family's clan school is located on the mountainside of the Ye Family. It is slightly lower than the Council Hall, but still higher than the courtyards of the Qi Refining clan members.

Furthermore, this is the easternmost point of Soaring Cloud Peak, where one can see the sunrise over the mountains and sea every day.

Ye Jingcheng hadn't been here for a long time either.

The entire Clan School Hall consists of a large three-courtyard complex. In the first front courtyard, there are displays of the deeds of some members of the Ye Family.

This can be considered the hero wall of the Ye Family, while the central courtyard is where the Ye Family's clan schools and immortal sects practice their Law Technique.

For them, who had just arrived on the mountain, Cultivation Practice Method was tedious. Only Law Technique could motivate them to keep working hard. The backyard was where the Ye Family taught and preached.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Clan School Hall, a girl who looked to be just over ten years old was staring blankly at the wall.

A name named Ye Xingyu.

He was so lost in thought that he didn't even see Ye Jingcheng coming over.

Ye Jingcheng had already roughly guessed what was going on, so he didn't say anything and just kept watching.

"Patriarch!" After a while, the girl finally saw Ye Jingcheng, and was even more surprised when she saw Ye Jingcheng face.

"How are you doing? Are you getting used to the mountain?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Going home is my habit. My parents are very supportive of my coming to Soaring Cloud Peak. Moreover, they have told me stories about the clan mountain and my grandfather since I was a child. I have come to the clan mountain these past few days and have fulfilled one of Shuang'er's long-cherished wishes!" Ye Qingshuang said.

Her eyes were extremely bright, like the rising sun, not dazzling, but passionate.

"Do you know what Lineage is?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

This question immediately made Ye Qingshuang hesitate.

But she quickly added:

"Patriarch, the Lineage is like blood ties, like relatives. We help each other and cultivate immortality together!"

"As for anything else, I can't think of anything!" There was still some hesitation in Ye Qingshuang's eyes.

"Very good, remember what I said today. In addition, as a reward, I will give you two Spirit Insects as your Spirit Beasts!" Ye Jingcheng said directly.

He also took out a Spirit Beast bag, inside which were two snow-white Thousand-Foot Frost Centipedes.

Unlike other venomous centipedes that are extremely ferocious, the snow centipede is pure white, with tiny, delicate legs, and is in its juvenile stage, making it appear rather cute.

"Once you reach the first level of Qi Refining, you can form a contract."

"However, remember what I said today. If you ever forget it, I will personally take back these two snow centipedes!" Ye Jingcheng said before leaving.

At first, he only wanted to meet Ye Qingshuang, but Ye Qingshuang displayed an intelligence far beyond her years.

Moreover, she recognized him at a glance and spoke to him with composure.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't afraid of his clansmen being too young to understand anything; he was afraid that she would be too young to understand everything and end up like Ye Jingteng.

That's why he said what he did today.

After meeting Ye Qingshuang, Ye Jingcheng returned to his courtyard. These past few days, he had been cultivating the Fire Spirit Secret Art, Vermilion Bird True Flame - Burning Heaven.

After all, he possesses the Essence Blood of the Crimson Phoenix Sparrow. The more proficient he is in the Fire Spirit Secret Art, the stronger he can unleash his power.

A dozen days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Qingshuang's matter gradually faded from Spirit Mountain, while Ye Jinghu also went to Hidden Valley.

Ye Jingcheng accompanied Chu Yanqing until they finished picking the spirit apricots.

On this day, as one Spirit Boat headed towards Taihang Marketplace, another Spirit Boat secretly departed in the opposite direction.

Yan Kingdom, Taichang Commandery, Poison Valley.

This area is shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round, and also contains swamps and deep pools.

Beside the poisonous pool stood three handsome young men, gazing absently at the pool and the sky.

Of the three, the one with the higher cultivation level was the most composed, while the other two looked around curiously.

"Brother Jie, if Uncle Hongchang fails, are we going to wait here forever? There are no Spirit Veins here, and I've already used up almost half of my Spirit Stones!" One of the slightly thinner figures spoke first.

"Wait! If you don't have any Spirit Stones, just tell me, and I'll distribute more to you. The Lineage gave us quite a few Spirit Stones this time!" The leader didn't open his eyes but continued to meditate indifferently.

"The Clan Elders often say that cultivation is about cultivating the mind. You two need to be more diligent. Don't think too much. If you don't have a better solution, just do as the Clan Elders say, and you won't make any more mistakes!" Wan Chengjie, who was in the lead, continued.

At that very moment, the three of them suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as countless reanimated corpses rushed into the valley.

"It's a corpse refiner, possibly a cultivator from the Heavenly Corpse Sect!" the cultivator who had spoken earlier said again!

"Kill! Kill a few of these refining corpses and see how strong they are!" Wan Chengjie ordered.

At the same time, seven people emerged from the pool and landed beside it.

All ten were young cultivators, and each one was more handsome than the last.

All ten of them drew their flying swords and slashed at the spirit corpses.

To their surprise, these spirit corpses were far too easy to kill; in no time, a large number of them fell to the ground under the flying swords.

"Fellow Daoist, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement is against the rules of the Cultivation World. Why don't you step forward and explain?" Wan Chengjie said.

As soon as he spoke, several cultivators emerged from the shadows.

These cultivators wore the unique Heavenly Corpse Robes of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and their eyes were also extremely bloodshot.

It was as if some kind of eye technique was being used.

"You blood-feeding creatures actually demand to be aboveboard? Even if we come out, what can you do about it?" A strange, hoarse voice came from beneath the Spirit-Isolating Robe.

This instilled some fear in the younger members of the tribe.

"Brother Jie, I'll cover the rear, you guys escape!" Some even suggested covering the rear and fleeing.

"There's no need to cover our retreat and escape. If we can't win, we'll surrender. Doesn't the Heavenly Corpse Sect need more subordinates?" However, Wan Chengjie directly refused.

His gaze remained fixed on the Spirit-Isolating Robe in the shadows, and seeing that the other remained silent, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had waited for this moment.

And indeed, that's how it turned out. Hidden within these Spirit Stones were several puppets that shattered all of their magical swords.

Of these ten people, only two were Foundation Establishment cultivators, while the remaining eight were all in the late Qi Refining stage.

In no time, they were all captured.

Wan Chengjie also took out a Storage Bag and handed it to the figure in the Spirit-Isolating Robe.

"I'd like to know, when will we be able to bask in the blazing sun?" Wan Chengjie asked meaningfully.

"What, are you going to make things difficult for my Heavenly Corpse Sect?" the cultivator asked unexpectedly.

Wan Chengjie fell silent.

To his surprise, the Spirit Boat did not fly towards Taihang Commandery, but towards the territory of the Chu Kingdom, which was clearly heading towards the territory of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

This scene made Wan Chengjie hesitate, and he even doubted whether he had guessed wrong.

And they even handed over their Storage Bag for nothing.

That contains the sword-wielding heritage of the Wan Family, as well as the specific location of the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array.

This made Wan Chengjie swallow hard.

"You don't know Wan Hongchang?"

"Who is Wan Hongchang? Is he famous?" Upon hearing this answer, Wan Chengjie felt a chill run down his spine.

The other nine people also began to tense up, but at this moment all of them had their Spirit Vein sealed, making it impossible for them to use their spiritual power, and their hands and feet were also bound.

There was even another person nearby, holding a knife, who began to draw their blood.

This made them all gasp for breath.

"Although I don't know why you gave me the Storage Bag, remember to be angry. That way, when you refine it into a living corpse, it will be even more powerful!" The cultivator in the Spirit-Isolating Robe turned his head at this moment.

These words left all ten of them feeling utterly hopeless.

It seems they really made a mistake!
