Master Xueqing faced off against Master Zifu and Duan Chuanyun, who arrived as reinforcements. While Xueqing fought Zifu, Duan Chuanyun joined the battle against the Blood Spear Sect cultivators, turning the tide and forcing Xueqing to retreat. Despite their victory, Sha Huang Mountain suffered heavy losses.

They also served Tier Four Mingxin Tea for the two to consume.

Once the Mingxin Tea passed down their throats, their expressions naturally relaxed quite a bit.

This Spirit Tea was not the first time they drank it.

Yet each time, it brought them quite the shock, a profound clarity that wrapped around their hearts, making them wish they could happily drink several more pots.

"By the way, Ye Yan Daoist, when dealing with those Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivators earlier, it seemed one remained hidden, possibly at a Purple Mansion Peak or even Golden Core level, but he didn’t attack and fled directly!" Duan Chuanyun spoke.

Others couldn’t see it, but his Golden Core Divine Sense detected something unusual.

"So Elder Duan means there are people who aren’t from the Blood Spear Sect?" Ye Haiyan instantly understood.

He also noticed something strange; the group seemed to be searching for something.

If he guessed correctly, they’re either seeking the Longevity Tea Tree or a Teleportation Array.

The former is understandable, Evil Cultivators covet longevity treasures, but the latter implies they might be after the Ye Family’s Desert Sea treasure.

Ye Haiyan instantly thought of a sect, especially since Wangqing Prefecture is close to Demon Pass Mansion.

This made his expression even more furious.

"However, Daoist should further investigate this matter!" As Ye Haiyan was about to name names, Master Zi Fu timely reminded.

If there is evidence, then naturally there is nothing to fear, it’s frightening to have none and let others twist the narrative.

"Don’t worry, both elders, this junior is aware in this regard!" Ye Haiyan nodded.

After waiting for a little while, the Dragon Envoy from Xiaoshan Prefecture and a Profound Puppet Sect cultivator were slow in arriving.

Ye Haiyan received them together.

Ye Xingliu also arrived with people; although no one remained in the Xiaoshan Market, the market was relatively safe, with no need to worry about Demon Cultivators attacking there.

Instead, Sha Huang Mountain could be invaded by Demon Cultivators at any time.

Unexpectedly for Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu, the Profound Puppet Sect left a Golden Core, and Xiao He from Xiaoshan Prefecture stayed directly on Sha Huang Mountain to defend the Ye Family and Celestial Sand Sect.

The two couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Yet this unexpected assault by the Blood Spear Sect still caused considerable losses to the Ye Family.

...

In a secluded hall, Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu gathered.

"Has Jing Nan successfully reached Xiaoshan Market?" Ye Haiyan was somewhat sure inwardly, but regarding the Teleportation Array, he still asked.

"No worries, Uncle Haiyan, it’s already safely reached, now it seems we need to thoroughly investigate this Blood Spear Sect!" Ye Xingliu couldn’t help but speak.

The Ye Family is not one to be bullied, once Ye Jingcheng returns, they surely must act.

"How can you know this isn’t a trap to lure us in?" Ye Haiyan responded noncommittally.

"This may be a plot from the Hundred Beasts Sect, or Evil Cultivators deliberately causing trouble, drawing the Ye Family to Demon Pass Mansion, and once there, even if the Ye Family has an Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, calling Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao may also pose problems, or why would Master Xueqing of Blood Spear Sect blatantly reveal his identity? Even as Demon Cultivators, isn’t this somewhat ostentatious?" Ye Haiyan continued to add.

Following these words, Ye Xingliu was also alerted.

He had stayed in the Central Domain for long, believing its cultivators were somewhat rule-abiding, whereas in truth, powers from Profound Celestial Demon Sect wouldn’t adhere to such rules.

Thinking this way, it could indeed be a trap.

If the Ye Family hastily heads to the Earth Immortal Realm, they might truly fall into it.

"Nevertheless, investigating is still necessary, coincidentally the family has arranged a few informants in Nanman Province, might as well see their roles, to unsettle this Blood Spear Sect a bit, lest they truly believe our Ye Family and Celestial Sand Sect are easy to bully!!"

"Additionally, the Hundred Beasts Sect also warrants investigation."

"Moreover, since the Black and White Order shows no white side, once Jingcheng returns, we should issue one against the Hundred Beasts Sect as well."

Ye Xingliu heard this and continually nodded.

Of course, he understood that the Ye Family issuing this Black and White Order was merely formality.

The Ye Family does not require help from the Demon Sect side.

Currently, Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan are powerful, along with family’s various Demon Kings and Spirit Beasts, and once they act discreetly, no one can discern.

-----------------

In the Earth Immortal Realm, swirling Spiritual Light gathered above, transforming into mystically extraordinary Five-Colored Spiritual Radiance.

This radiance was exceedingly rich, causing the spring water of the mountain stream to appear in five colors.

Beside the gently flowing mountain stream, a figure cautiously sat.

After a while, several Five Poison Bees returned from afar, landing before the figure, who finally stood.

This figure was none other than Ye Jingcheng, disguised with the Bone Transformation Pill.

His location was precisely the Upper Immortal Realm.

While the Lower Immortal Realm may not differ much from the Mortal Realm, the Upper Immortal Realm was like truly entering the Spirit Realm, where the density of Spiritual Energy increased by a grade, and here, gravity’s burden was significantly higher.

Ye Jingcheng suspected that ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators here might not be able to fly.

On that day, after meeting with Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, Ye Jingcheng and others deliberated for a long time before deciding to check out the Heaven-Repairing Garden.

Though the secret command left by Celestial Sand Sect required at least two Nascent Soul and ten Golden Core cultivators.

The Ye Family seemingly lacked two Nascent Soul cultivators, but Golden Core Demon Kings surpassed ten in number.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng greatly relied on Peach Wood’s array-breaking prowess.

If the Heaven-Repairing Garden were defended by an array, perhaps the Ye Family wouldn’t need two Nascent Soul cultivators to break it directly.

A Secret Realm coveted by Celestial Sand Sect sure possessed abundant treasures.

If the Ye Family was fortunate enough to acquire these spiritual herbs and treasures, maybe within three hundred years, several Nascent Soul cultivators might emerge.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also worried if not checked now, efforts put into planning over the next three hundred years might end up revealing the Heaven-Repairing Garden as an empty plot pilfered by other Divinity Transformation Powers.

Upon entering the Upper Immortal Realm, Ye Jingcheng exercised even greater caution.

Initially, he considered letting the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor remain outside, but after careful thought, he decided to let it wait inside the Grotto Heaven.

After extensive observation, he found Human Race Cultivators appeared more numerous, fearing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor might be besieged.

After all, Flood Dragons themselves are prized beings, and in the Earth Immortal Realm, where backing forces are irrelevant, many Nascent Souls would gamble an attempt.

Upon entering, he dared not rush ahead but released Tier Two Five Poison Bees, investigating nearby, only proceeding when there was no danger.

Throughout this journey, he witnessed several Golden Core cultivators wandering the Upper Immortal Realm.

This set his mind at ease.

In the Upper Immortal Realm, the greed in Golden Core cultivators subsided considerably, rarely resorting to conflict, seemingly fearing it might attract Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Once confirmed, Ye Jingcheng released Jade Ring Rat and Celestial Treasure Rat, slowly advancing deeper into the Upper Immortal Realm.

Days passed, although Ye Jingcheng gathered some spiritual herbs, most were just Tier Three Spiritual Medicine, with scarce Tier Four Spiritual Medicine.

Clearly, it had been scavenged once.

Occasionally, Nascent Soul Cultivators flew overhead, but under Ye Jingcheng’s cautious concealment, no Nascent Soul attempted to seize treasures.

Most Golden Core Cultivators still search for treasure in the Upper Immortal Realm, undoubtedly having not found any, for if they had, they would have hidden away, not wandering.

Moreover, those dared entering the Earth Immortal Realm surely possessed treasures or other concealed ways gifted by elders.

Finally, on the sixth day, Ye Jingcheng landed beneath a small hill.

"According to Celestial Sand Sect’s record, the Heaven-Repairing Garden should be halfway from here!" Ye Jingcheng gazed at a distant stone’s shadow, appearing delighted.

It was the third month since the Earth Immortal Realm opened; to investigate the Heaven-Repairing Garden early would allow Ye Jingcheng to hide sooner.

Moreover, under this hill, he discovered a three-thousand-year-old Red Nether Grass.

Indicating this location hadn’t been explored by Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators yet.

However, Ye Jingcheng must also exercise more caution; unexplored regions suggest possible unknown dangers.
