The Li Family's Suggestion
The Taihang Mountain Range a landscape of rolling hills stretching endlessly.
As far as the eye can see, green mountains pierce through the sea of clouds, each one higher than the last.
Ye Jingcheng landed on the Spirit Boat, and at that moment he was also moved by the majesty and mystery of the Taihang Mountain Range.
Unlike the mysterious valley they had found before, which was on the outermost edge, this place was deep inside the Taihang Mountain Range.
Along the way, there were many birds, but without exception, they were all cut down by the sword light that soared into the air. The intense Sword-Ray also made Ye Jingcheng somewhat eager.
Every cultivator yearns to be Sword Cultivator, but in this world, the definition of Sword Cultivator is not simply about controlling flying swords or Swordsmanship weapons; the simplest definition is whether or not one possesses Sword-Ray.
After the Sword-Ray comes the Sword Intent, but Ye Jingcheng doesn't know much about how to distinguish between them. In short, without inheritance and talent, wanting to become a Sword Cultivator is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Boom!
Countless birds flew in from afar; this was a flock of Blazing Birds, most of which were late-stage first-tier Demon Beasts, but there were still two second-tier Demon Beasts among them!
Their feathers resembled blazing flames.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators on the second level of the Spirit Boat flew out one after another, even Ye Xingliu landed in front of the Spirit Boat.
However, Ye Xingliu did not make a move. Instead, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Xu Family and Mo Families took turns killing the two Blazing Birds.
Ye Xingliu and the others then took action, killing several first-tier Blazing Birds.
Although there were no set rules on the Spirit Boat, the unspoken code of conduct made Ye Jingcheng sigh involuntarily.
These birds that flew in are clearly offering themselves up as Spirit Material resources.
The Fiery Spirit Feathers from the Blazing Bird are the most valuable, as they can be used to craft offensive spirit feather Law Artifacts or flying Law Artifacts.
Even the corpse of a late-stage Tier 1 Blazing Bird can fetch fifty or sixty Spirit Stones.
The corpse of a second-tier Blazing Bird is even more valuable.
This is also because there are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators on the entire Spirit Boat; otherwise, if the Ye Family or other Foundation Establishment Lineage encountered this alone, it might not be a resource, but a disaster.
As the Spirit Boat became increasingly calm, at some point, Spirit Boat began to slowly descend towards the clouds.
Ye Jingcheng gazed into the distance and finally saw a huge valley, surrounded by several towering peaks.
This also matches the Spirit Diagram that Ye Haiyi gave us yesterday.
However, unlike the Spirit Diagram, it is shrunk countless times, making the actual object look even more magnificent and imposing.
Moreover, the roars of beasts continued, and a continuous stream of Spiritual Qi emanated from them!
Putting everything else aside, the Spirit Veins within this valley are all at least at the third level.
Even the Soaring Cloud Peak of the Ye Family is only a second-grade high-level Spirit Vein.
"Everyone, proceed with the agreed route to clear out the enemy, and finally gather at Jade Dragon Pool!" Master Luoyuan out of the Spirit Boat. Today he was wearing a sword robe, his sword-like eyebrows were raised, and he was extremely majestic.
"Those in charge of Zuoshan Road, please come with me!" As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Wenchang, the head of the Xu Family, stepped forward. Behind him were dozens of Xu Lineage members and a full forty Rogue Cultivators Rogue Cultivator, half of whom were in the late stage of Rogue Cultivator.
The Li Family followed closely behind the Xu Family.
The Ye Family cultivators followed closely behind and also came out.
The entire Jade Dragon Valley mopping-up army split into three groups, using the lush forest as cover and affixing travel talismans as they made their way.
Having arrived at Jade Dragon Valley, it's best not to be too conspicuous right now. If we fly higher into the sky, perhaps even more powerful flying demons will emerge from the depths of the Taihang Mountain Range.
Soon, the group arrived at the mouth of a valley, through which a river several tens of feet long flowed, making the valley mouth even larger.
Keep in mind that this is only a small part of the valley entrance, which is enough to show how vast Jade Dragon Valley is.
"Brother Wenchang, I suggest that Ye Family has the fewest Foundation Establishment cultivators this time, and they are all in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, why don't we have the Ye Family ranked last?"
"This way, fewer Ye Family cultivators will have to sacrifice. If one of the four Taihang families is missing, it won't look good for their reputation!" Li Muhe stepped forward and suggested to Xu Wenchang.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ye Family changed their expressions. Li Muhe hadn't even used telepathy; he had simply spoken.
As cultivators, each of us possesses extraordinary senses and perception.
This blatant satire is clearly mocking the Ye Family for not having Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator and only having one Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This time, the Li Family sent two Foundation Establishment, while the Xu Family sent three, including Xu Wenchang, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, making them quite impressive.
"That makes sense. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Ye?" Xu Wenchang's face was dignified, as if he had no recollection of what had happened in front of Soaring Cloud Peak.
"I will follow Brother Xu's arrangements. This is all for the sake of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Even if the Ye Family takes a little risk, it is fine!" Ye Xingliu neither refused nor agreed.
It simply mentioned the sect.
Upon hearing this, Li Muhe also felt that Ye Xingliu was indeed difficult to deal with, as he hadn't fallen into his trap. However, no matter what choice Ye Xingliu made today, this time, Jade Dragon Valley would either result in heavy losses for the Ye Family or nothing at all!
Li Muhe looked at Xu Wenchang.
Xu Wenchang immediately understood and prepared to arrange for the Ye Family to be at the very back.
They were left only to scavenge scraps.
If they don't give a direct answer, then they'll make the decision for the Ye Family. After all, this time, the person in charge is Xu Wenchang from the Xu Family.
Moreover, he had also made arrangements with the Li Family that although the Ye Family was at the very back, the Ye Family's Spirit Beasts could not be at the very back. For example, the Ye Family 'Ye Family Treasure-Seeking Rats and Spirit-Seeking Bees had to be at the front.
Help them find various resources and act as pioneers.
At that very moment, Ye Xingliu suddenly spoke again:
"Brother Xu, I have another important matter to ask of you. I have been ordered to find a spirit medicine for Taihao Master. If you have such spirit medicine, I hope you can give it to me!" Ye Xingliu tossed out a Jade Slip.
The Jade Slip fell into Xu Wenchang's hands, and the latter's expression changed after looking at it.
Within a sect, most Purple Mansion Elders rarely concern themselves with the affairs of their subordinate Lineage, even if some disciples come from such Lineage.
As for the Ye Family, even with the influence of Taihao Master, they could have easily ignored it.
After all, the Xu Family also possessed Purple Mansion.
However, this Jade Slip states that the Ye Family borrowed first and second-grade mid-level magic Law Artifacts from Taihao Master, and that 20% of the spoils from this trip will be given to Taihao Master!
In other words, the Ye Family will only retain 50% this time!
"Let's disperse and clear them out in three batches this time. Even in our Zuoshan Road, there are many routes, and each Lineage is familiar with their own Lineage's cultivators!" Xu Wenchang's expression quickly returned to normal, and he changed his previous plan.
If the Li Family were to follow their plan now, they would not only offend the Ye Family, but also Taihao Master.
After all, cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm don't receive much salary within the Taiyi Sect. If they're disturbed while earning a little Spirit Stone outside, it would be very offensive.
Upon hearing this, Li Muhe's expression changed slightly, but not by much. He naturally did not believe that Ye Xingliu was unprepared, but his preparations went far beyond this.
