Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1318 - 926: Tears of the Chenjing, Beast Tide of the Desert Sea
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
In the past, he knew Ye Haisheng had a proud disposition, but he was reluctant to reprimand him. Later, when Ye Haisheng changed, he was genuinely happy, especially seeing him with Chenjing as a spirit beast.
Ye Haicheng remained silent beside them and did not stop them, he merely tossed out a Spirit Beast Bag, allowing countless Blood Leeches to spread around.
He understood Ye Haige’s feelings at that moment, as if witnessing Ye Jingcheng in trouble would elicit the same sentiment.
Even if he was aware that the Ye Family should teleport away at that moment, he still wanted Ye Haige to let off some steam.
Finally, it was Ye Haiyu who spoke:
"Big brother, Haisheng already got the items!"
At that moment, the Beast Tide could submerge the area at any time.
Ye Haiyu was worried that if they delayed further, they might miss something important.
Ye Haicheng did not respond but slightly closed his eyes as his divine sense expanded impressively.
He naturally knew the situation was bad, as the Beast Tide could arrive at any time.
Moreover, he knew about the coming challenge in the Yan Kingdom and the possibility of facing the unrestrained Penglai Immortal Sect after entering the Earth Immortal Realm.
Yet, in that instant, he also felt regret.
Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan trusted him to complete the East Sea mission.
But now, not only had they abandoned the task of clearing demon beasts and collecting beast souls, Ye Haisheng had also perished.
The wind and waves on the sea grew stronger, and Ye Haicheng glanced at the sky, still somber, feeling the changes of the Beast Tide, he finally looked up.
"Haige, Haiyu, get ready to teleport back to the Eastern Domain!"
Ye Haicheng went to check on Chenjing but found that Chenjing was more stubborn than Ye Haige.
Its gaze was fixated on the direction from which they had come, refusing to be placed into the Spirit Beast Bag despite Ye Haicheng’s attempt.
It let out a mournful cry.
It showed its huge back, conveying to Ye Haicheng and Ye Haige.
Its master had not returned to ride atop it.
It could not depart.
"Big brother, let me handle it!" Despite Ye Haicheng’s unsuccessful attempts, Ye Haige finally stepped out from the sea water, looked at Chenjing, and took out a Tier Three Spirit Pill, the Celestial Water Pill.
"Little Chen Whale, Haisheng wanted you to return so you can become a Demon Emperor. If you want to wait, then wait at the family’s Celestial Water Lake!"
Yet even for Ye Haige, Chenjing remained unmoved, its large eyes full of tears.
Years of living side by side had already accustomed Chenjing to Ye Haisheng.
It was used to Ye Haisheng throwing a large chunk of meat into its mouth from the sky, also used to Ye Haisheng giving various spirit pills to encourage it to practice Celestial Divine Light.
So even when Ye Haige took out the Celestial Water Pill, Chenjing did not ingest it.
"Little Chen Whale, we will return. You must strive to become a Demon Emperor, so you have the chance for revenge!" Ye Haige spoke again.
Of course, these words were meant for both Little Chen Whale and himself.
He naturally had to return for revenge; sooner or later, he would make those responsible pay the price.
As these words were uttered, Chenjing let out a roaring cry, the entire whale body leaped from the water, and then slammed back down, causing countless water splashes.
With this leap, Chenjing finally entered the Spirit Beast Bag.
It wanted revenge!
The Teleportation Array began to activate, and Ye Haicheng, holding his Storage Bag and Spirit Beast Bag, moved to teleport to the Eastern Domain.
Meanwhile, Ye Haige and Ye Haiyu destroyed the Teleportation Array, collected it, and entered the Tier Three Secret Realm that had been prepared earlier nearby.
...
Desert Sea, Celestial Departure Grassland, in an area of dense forest.
Ye Xueliang and Turtle Ancestor slaughtered a late-stage Cyan Wood Giant Ape of the third tier.
Ye Xueliang panted heavily; being only at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, even with the family’s Spirit Puppet and assistance from three other Purple Mansion cultivators and an extra Great Demon, facing a late-stage Cyan Wood Giant Ape was difficult.
Ultimately, Turtle Ancestor stepped in to kill the ape.
"Thank you, Tai Cang Daoist." Ye Xueliang expressed his gratitude.
"Don’t be reckless, Xueliang! This Turtle Ancestor is quite powerful now; after consuming the Spirit Pill given by Jingcheng, generally mid-stage Golden Core Demon Kings are nothing to me!" Turtle Ancestor boasted, stroking his beard.
"If Jingcheng were to give me one or two more such Spirit Pills, I could capture the Celestial Roc Demon Emperor to watch over our family’s grasslands..." Tai Cang Turtle continued.
These words made Ye Xueliang’s face darken.
This Tai Cang Turtle was good, but excessively verbose.
Previously, during the third tier, it was more restrained, but now only Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan could reign it in within the Ye Family.
"Tai Cang Daoist should still be cautious, or second and fourth uncles will reprimand me!" Ye Xueliang advised.
Indeed, Turtle Ancestor’s presence was too vital to be omitted.
Within its Grotto Heaven, there lay the Ye Shen Valley and Beast Communication Tower necessary for any resurgence by the Ye Family.
But if trouble befell Turtle Ancestor, the Ye Family would face the same losses in legacy as before.
"No need to worry! You haven’t seen my true strength yet." Turtle Ancestor boasted.
Ye Xueliang chose not to reply.
Leaving Turtle Ancestor to pick the spoils of battle and tally contribution points alone.
The other two Purple Mansion cultivators were from the Jing Generation, newly risen in the Ye Family.
The trio controlled the array, overseeing captured Tier Three Thunder Roc, Mammoth, and Golden Lizard.
They comprised the main force capturing beast souls.
In total, two warriors in Tier Three peak, two with the combat power of late-stage Tier Three, and five between early and middle stages of Tier Three.
"Uncle Xueliang, why are we so hurried this time?" The Jing Generation cultivator asked with confusion.
To him, the Ye Family shouldn’t have pursued multiple lines of action.
Even if action were needed, Chu Yanqing should be summoned.
After all, the latter was Golden Core, and Celestial Phoenix Oasis was unlikely to encounter danger.
"Due to time constraints! In this cultivation realm, strength reigns supreme. If we do not explore now, we may not get the chance for another three centuries!" Ye Xueliang said bitterly.
Desert Sea was safe as long as the demon emperors behind Celestial Departure Grasslands did not incite a Beast Tide.
Were multiple demon emperors to unite, the entire Desert Sea would be doomed.
Therefore, the Ye Family must thoroughly explore the demon beast demon emperor distributions, investigating even their preferences.
Previously, opportunities were scarce due to the abundance of demon emperors; but this time, clearly, many of the demon race’s demon emperors had gone to the Earth Immortal Realm.
This granted the Ye Family opportunity.
Additionally, the Ye Family failed to capture a large number of beast souls in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, so they must seize this chance, or awakening treatments in the Beast Communication Tower would suffer.
The Ye Family’s foundation lay in the Beast Pattern.
Of course, the situation with the Ye Family was concerning, and the dynamics within the Yan Kingdom were equally significant.
Qinghe Sect was powerful, Taiyi Sect was scheming, and Tian Dao Sect’s Tian Dao True Monarch had limited lifespan.
The Ye Family could not control the outcomes in the Earth Immortal Realm; if all Nascent Soul True Monarchs returned safely, a bloodbath would ensue.
Ultimately, future teleportation arrays would all be located in Desert Sea, bypassing Yan Kingdom for transitions.
Likewise, because Ye Jingcheng had promised something to Sikong Ziming of Taiyi Sect, the Ye Family could not remain isolated.
"Keep releasing the Demon-enticing Grass, lure more Great Demons!" Ye Xueliang instructed after some explanation.
Currently, they had only slain five Purple Mansion Great Demons, still far from their goal.
The other two Purple Mansion cultivators nodded continuously, first manipulating the array to conceal themselves, then collecting their Great Demons.
They began activating Demon-enticing Grass.
Ye Xueliang did the same.
After completing these tasks, he noticed a jade talisman signal.
The jade talisman fell into Ye Xueliang’s hand.
Upon reading it, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"This is reckless!"
Within the jade talisman, it indicated that Ye Qingfeng had joined the exploration, and Ye Qingnian had entered the forest to rescue Ye Qingfeng!
The Ye Family’s current strategy for the Celestial Departure Grassland was bifurcated.
One part was designated for luring the beast tide, the other for mountain exploration.
The former was the Ye Family’s primary plan, while exploration was mainly entrusted to the affiliated clans.
For the current exploration, the Ye Family delegated it to some cultivators from the Foreign Affairs Tower and some peripheral bloodline cultivators.
But he never anticipated that his repeated warnings would end with Ye Qingfeng and Ye Qingnian partaking in the exploration task.
If the two met a tragic fate, he wouldn’t know how to explain to the family and Ye Jingcheng.
