Ye Jingcheng arrives at Blood Essence Valley and confronts Master Xueqing. Despite Xueqing's attempts to negotiate and offer concessions, Ye Jingcheng unleashes his spiritual beasts and attacks, killing Xueqing and annihilating the Blood Spear Sect. After securing the spoils, Ye Jingcheng returns to Southern Wilderness Province to soul-search Xueqing's remains, learning of a powerful Golden Roc and the location of Master Silver Spear.

The autumn sky is high and the fierce wind whistles.

In a certain place in Wangqing Prefecture, there lies a vast ancient maple forest.

The entire maple forest stretches over ten miles, resembling a fiery red lake.

Indeed, under the flying vibrant red maple leaves, it seems as if countless flames are dancing in the air.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng stands quietly amidst the maple forest, allowing the leaves to fall around him, on his shoulders, even on the tips of his hair.

If it were an ordinary time, Ye Jingcheng might still have the mind to appreciate it carefully.

But now, he is waiting for Prince Wang, Mansion Master Xiao, and other cultivators who are covering for him.

Before long, as a spiritual ship lands before the ancient maple forest.

Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao dismount gracefully.

"I said, Qianchen Daoist has long discovered us!" Prince Wang chuckled, his hearty voice resonating throughout the forest.

The nearby Mansion Master Xiao also cast a slight smile towards Ye Jingcheng.

The two were quite satisfied to see Ye Jingcheng waiting here.

"Mansion Master Xiao, Prince Wang!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands, also scanning and noticing that besides Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao, there were two more Golden Core cultivators present.

However, the two were clearly summoned by Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao.

Their cultivation was only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core and Early Stage of Golden Core.

Ye Jingcheng further speculates that Xu Huai True Monarch and Liu Zhou State Governor are probably here secretly but did not show up.

Currently, the conflict between the Righteous Sect and Profound Celestial Sect is maintained only at the level of affiliated forces. Covering the market is still feasible; declaring full-scale war to annihilate the forces of the Profound Celestial Demon Sect would be an utter declaration of war.

"Thank you, Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang, for your cover. Here are some illicit goods collected from Blood Essence Valley. I hope both Mansion Masters can handle them." Ye Jingcheng took out two storage bags and handed them over to the two.

According to the normal task harvest of the mansion, Ye Jingcheng has to hand over thirty percent.

But if Ye Jingcheng did not wait here, he wouldn’t even need to hand over ten percent, as exterminating the Blood Spear Sect was not a task from Xiaoshan Prefecture.

The cover offered by Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang was not communicated to Ye Jingcheng.

However, if Ye Jingcheng really did that, though the Mansion Masters might not care for the moment, it would certainly leave a thorn in their hearts, and in the future, the Ye Family or even Celestial Sand Sect wouldn’t expect any help from the Righteous Sect.

Therefore, he not only hands over but gives quite a bit, up to forty percent.

After handing over forty percent of the treasures, Ye Jingcheng looked again at Prince Wang.

"Prince Wang, may I ask if the Hundred Beasts Sect has a Golden Roc Demon King? Is Master Yue Hua in Wangqing Prefecture too?" Ye Jingcheng inquired.

Currently, he has grasped the basic information of the Blood Spear Sect, and he only fears they might hide in Demon Pass City.

On the Hundred Beasts Sect’s side, there are already two Golden Cores in Wangqing Prefecture, one Golden Core guarding Guardian Spirit Mountain.

But there has been no news about Master Yue Hua or the Golden Roc Demon King.

"I will have someone investigate this for you. In these days, you’d best be cautious around Sha Huang Mountain. If there’s nothing else, I’d advise staying in Xiaoshan Prefecture. Over the years, many talents have emerged in the Southern Wilderness Province, but many geniuses throughout history have aroused envy." Prince Wang also advised.

This time it’s considered a small counterattack from the Righteous Sect, having killed a Nascent Soul, severely wounded another, and destroyed a mountain gate.

Prince Wang can finally retreat into seclusion to break through to Nascent Soul level with peace of mind.

Therefore, he also advised Ye Jingcheng to be more restrained in the coming days.

He is obviously concerned that the Celestial Demon Sect or Gui Xuan Sect might continue retaliations against the Celestial Sand Sect.

After all, recently, Ye Jingcheng’s prominence has been too overwhelming.

Throughout the years, many talents have appeared in the Southern Wilderness, but many were targeted by Demon Cultivators and met a bad end. There aren’t few such examples.

"Alright!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, knowing that Prince Wang was advising him to hold back during this period.

After all, not only would Prince Wang attempt to break through in seclusion, but Mansion Master Xiao would probably dare to try it as well.

The highest combat power of the two sects would then be in seclusion.

If Ye Jingcheng stirs up trouble, it would be hard to summon reinforcements.

"Let the Hundred Beasts Sect act when their vigilance relaxes!" Prince Wang, evidently less cautious than Mansion Master Xiao, remarked directly with no trace of embarrassment.

By then, he already understood that irreconcilable conflicts existed between the Celestial Sand Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Between the two, even though Ye Jingcheng’s Celestial Sand Sect is in Xiaoshan Prefecture, Prince Wang unwaveringly chose Ye Jingcheng’s Celestial Sand Sect.

He said this while also handing over a Jade Mirror to Ye Jingcheng.

This Jade Mirror is used in the Earth Immortal Realm, but in the end, it was returned by Ye Jingcheng.

"There’s another one with Uncle Xu Huai. If you have something extremely urgent, use the Jade Mirror to contact." Prince Wang warned.

The emphasis on the words "extremely urgent" was particularly heavy.

After speaking, the two Mansion Masters departed, and Ye Jingcheng headed towards Sha Huang Mountain.

While Xiaoshan Market is safer, Ye Jingcheng still needs to guard the Teleportation Array at Sha Huang Mountain, and after the Temporary Market, there are other things he needs to handle.

With the full-speed activation of the Profound Light Ship, Ye Jingcheng returned to Sha Huang Mountain in Xiaoshan Prefecture from Wangqing Prefecture in less than three days.

Upon climbing the mountain, he could see the joy of all the Celestial Sand Sect disciples and Ye Family disciples.

Simultaneously, in front of the mountain gate, there were many disciples wanting to join the Celestial Sand Sect, evidently due to the Temporary Market, further enhancing the reputation of the Celestial Sand Sect.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the Assembly Hall, where Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu were also present.

"Jingcheng, this is the list of thank-you treasures from other families," Ye Haiyan took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
