Jade Firmament Ridge.
This territory is controlled by the Jade Rosy Clouds Sect, a top-tier second-rate power, whose sect leader's surname is Xu and given name is Yi.
And in Jade Rosy Clouds Ridge, there is a mountain stream that almost no one comes to.
Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei Gu Sheng, Shi Sheng, Mu Fusheng Jiu Bailu, Xu Yeming, and Liu Ziru were all here.
This is also the place where Liu Ziru marked the information about Ye Qiubai for the Xuanyuan Clan.
Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Fusheng, who was constantly fiddling with talismans and formations around him, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you've already checked it more than ten times, there definitely won't be any problems."
Even so, Ye Qiubai still felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Mu Fusheng's serious expression.
Mu Fusheng, without turning his head, said, "No, we must ensure that everything is foolproof... Moreover, even if everything is foolproof, we can still find places where we can insert a few more talismans. This will provide even more security for you, Senior Brother."
Ye Qiubai was about to say something when he heard Xiao Hei laugh and say, "Alright, Senior Brother, stop worrying about Junior Brother Mu. Don't you know his personality? He'll probably keep checking until the other party is almost here."
"But then again, why was this location chosen?"
At this point, Xiao Hei looked at Liu Ziru.
Given Liu Ziru's personality, he would never have mentioned this place out of thin air.
Liu Ziru simply smiled and then said, "You'll find out when the time comes. Have you remembered the plan clearly?"
Everyone nodded slightly.
To put it simply, when the Xuanyuan Clan arrived, everyone else left Jade Rosy Clouds Ridge immediately to avoid being discovered.
After the Xuanyuan Clan arrived, Ye Qiubai pretended to be in seclusion and cultivating, and then tried his best to stall them for a while. When he was forced to leave, he used the teleportation array made up of hundreds of Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to leave.
This way, the Xuanyuan Clan won't suspect that they were behind all of this.
"Alright, the rest is up to you." With that, Liu Ziru stared at Ye Qiubai seriously and said, "Be careful in everything. If anything goes wrong, even if the plan fails, your life must be the priority."
Although Senior Lu always appeared stern towards Ye Qiubai and his disciples, constantly saying that if he hadn't taken them in, things wouldn't be so troublesome, tiring, or disturbing his sleep.
But deep down, I still put them first and value them highly.
If something really happens to Ye Qiubai.
I'm afraid the entire Chaos Realm will be in turmoil.
Of course... Liu Ziru himself estimated that he would be badly injured, if not killed.
Thinking of Lu Changsheng's methods, Liu Ziru couldn't help but shudder for no reason.
Ye Qiubai smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, " Uncle Liu, don't worry. With such thorough preparations, there won't be any problems."
That's all.
Ye Qiubai then sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Primordial Sword Scripture, his aura flowing as if he were about to break through at any moment.
This wasn't an act; Ye Qiubai's foundation was already too solid, so he could break through to the next realm at any time if he wanted to.
It's just that Ye Qiubai has always only chosen to break through when he can no longer suppress his cultivation level.
Seeing this.
Liu Ziru and the others also left immediately.
However, there were also surveillance talismans placed by Mu Fusheng within the talismans, which could detect Ye Qiubai's situation at any time.
As expected.
They didn't have to wait long before the Xuanyuan Clan arrived at Jade Rosy Clouds Ridge.
The information Liu Ziru provided only stated that Ye Qiubai was in Jade Rosy Clouds Ridge, but did not give a specific location, so as not to arouse suspicion.
The arrival of the Xuanyuan Clan was also a deliberate attempt to conceal their presence, clearly out of fear of alerting the enemy.
Among them were the First Elder and the Second Elder, Xuanyuan Junru.
It took half a day to finally locate Ye Qiubai.
When Xuanyuan Junru and other high-ranking members of the Xuanyuan Clan saw Ye Qiubai, who had "reached a critical moment in his cultivation," their faces lit up with joy.
At the same time, the First Elder took out a jade pendant and transmitted his voice, "Patriarch, the information from the Dark Domain is correct, Ye Qiubai is right here!"
He then put the jade pendant away.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose!
The dozen or so members of the Xuanyuan Clan unleashed their full power, Tuantuan Ye Qiubai.
The aura of his cultivation was completely unreserved, suppressing the area where Ye Qiubai was located!
In an instant, Sword Qi surged wildly above the entire Jade Rosy Clouds Ridge!
Of course, this also alarmed the Jade Rosy Clouds Sect.
Ye Qiubai opened his eyes, his expression grave as he looked around, finally fixing his gaze on Xuanyuan Junru. "It's you?"
Xuanyuan Junru, oblivious to anything amiss, looked at Ye Qiubai and sneered, "Did you ever imagine this day would come when you were vying with our Xuanyuan Clan for the inheritance?"
Ye Qiubai said in a deep voice, "The inheritance belongs to the capable; when did it become the property of your Xuanyuan Clan?"
Xuanyuan Junru nodded in agreement, saying, "It's true that the capable should get it, but... no matter how you look at it, I'm more capable than you, not only in terms of my own strength and talent, but more importantly, because I come from the Xuanyuan Clan..."
Background can indeed be considered a factor in a person's strength.
That sounds very unfair.
But... why should you, through a few decades or centuries of hard work, catch up with what others have accumulated over millions of years?
Wouldn't that be equally unfair to those powers that have accumulated power over millions of years?
Of course... Ye Qiubai's background is much stronger than that of the Xuanyuan Clan.
The other party simply doesn't know it.
Xuanyuan Junru stretched out his hand, grinning maliciously, "Alright, hand over the inheritance, and perhaps I can spare your life... No, you possess the Sword Bone, and the Sword Bone can only be extracted from your body, so you still have to die."
At this time...
Several more powerful auras swept in from the sky.
People from the Jade Rosy Clouds Sect have arrived.
The leader was an elderly man, who was also the sect leader of the Jade Rosy Clouds Sect, Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned and said, " The Xuanyuan Clan? May I ask what brings the Xuanyuan Clan to my Jade Rosy Clouds Sect?"
The eldest elder of the Xuanyuan Clan looked up at Xu Yi and said coldly, "We're just here to capture one person. It has nothing to do with your Jade Rosy Clouds Sect. We'll leave after we're done and won't bother you."
Xu Yi and other Jade Rosy Clouds Sect also turned their attention to Ye Qiubai.
"Oh? The Xuanyuan Clan actually sent such a force to hunt down a junior?"
Xu Yi wore a cold smile.
The First Elder snorted coldly, "This has nothing to do with your Jade Rosy Clouds Sect! Or are you trying to interfere on behalf of the Xu Clan?"
Xu Yi.
They were originally from a collateral branch of the Xu Clan.
The Jade Rosy Clouds Sect is also a collateral branch of the Xu Clan.
Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "As long as you don't attack the Jade Rosy Clouds Sect, then please proceed."
Ye Qiubai drew his Cloud Azure Sword, looked up at Xuanyuan Junru, and laughed, "Want to inherit the Sword Bone? Then try and snatch it with your own strength."
Xuanyuan Junru laughed loudly upon hearing this, "You think you can?"
Previously, in the Land of Inheritance, Ye Qiubai hadn't even undergone the tribulation of lightning.
How could I possibly be his match now?
"However... since you want it, I'll make an exception and use my superior strength to kill you."
