Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1378 - 975: The Yan Kingdom’s Upheaval and The Pledge of Allegiance
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Taihang Market, due to the Medicine King Valley’s lecture meeting, the number of cultivators in the market has decreased significantly.
The streets appear exceedingly desolate and quiet.
This day’s weather is somewhat gloomy, with no sunlight and thick clouds, making the bamboo leaves of the Cyan Stone Bamboo around the market appear rather dull.
Several cultivators wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes walk toward the Ye Family Tavern.
They chat and laugh among themselves while occasionally touching their Storage Bags and Spirit Beast Bags, evidently showing that they’ve gained quite a lot from the Taihang Mountain Range.
Nowadays, the most popular three shops in Taihang Market are naturally the Ye Family Beast Pavilion, Ye Family Tavern, and Ye Family Pill Pavilion. Even the Taiyi Sect’s shop pales in comparison, with the market master now being a member of the Ye Family who joined a sect.
Even now, despite the fewer cultivators at the market, there are still quite a few cultivators in front of the three shops.
The Spirit-Blocking Robe cultivators soon arrive in front of the tavern.
As they stand before the tavern, one of them reveals a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation level.
This immediately prompts two cultivators wearing Ye Family robes to approach respectfully.
"Honored elders, what would you like to drink?"
"We wish to enjoy a Tier Three Blood Jade Eel, is there any available?" The cultivator who has released his cultivation level speaks directly.
"Honored elder, there isn’t any Tier Three available at the moment."
"Hmph, you didn’t even ask your elders, yet you say there isn’t any. Are you trying to deceive me?" The cultivator immediately exerts his cultivation, causing the Ye Family Qi Cultivation Cultivator to shake uncontrollably.
The latter only manages to persist by gritting his teeth; otherwise, he would have kneeled on the spot.
"Don’t cause trouble, just call your Ye Tower Master here. I’ve heard your Ye Tower Master has reached the Purple Mansion stage!" The other cultivator waves his hand.
Pressing down the former, the Qi Cultivation Cultivator recovers and starts gasping.\p>
"Honored elder, the Ye Tower Master isn’t here, but the Vice Tower Master is!" Although the Qi Cultivation Cultivator feels furious, he knows he’s not a match and speaks up.
Of course, as he speaks, he discreetly clutches a Spirit Talisman.
As the Spirit Talisman is crushed, the array at Taihang Market suddenly appears in the sky.
Countless figures begin scattered escapes in all directions.
Before attending the lecture, the Ye Family had already recalled all Beast Communication Pattern cultivators and issued certain orders to the rest of the clan. Hence, when the Spirit Talisman is crushed, all cultivators scatter in all directions.
This scene enrages the Spirit-Blocking Robe cultivator!
"Courting death, you ant!" With a palm strike, the Qi Cultivation Cultivator’s body slams into the wall, emitting a pained howl, his chest collapsing.
The other cultivators in the tavern immediately scatter in all directions.
"Don’t kill the Ye Family cultivators!" The leading cultivator viciously glares, sparing the cultivator’s life.
Meanwhile, four cultivators unleash their cultivation, showing three with Purple Mansion and one with Golden Core cultivation.
"I am Old Demon Corpse Cloud from the affiliated force Corpse Cloud Valley of the Celestial Corpse Sect, here at Taihang Mountain Range for revenge on Ye Jingyong for killing my beloved disciple. If you want to blame, blame Ye Jingyong for being too arrogant!" Corpse Cloud Old Demon roars, as if genuinely seeking vengeance.
With the flick of his sleeve, countless corpses fly out.
They chase after other cultivators in the market.
The Taihang Market instantly turns into human world purgatory.
"Leave the living to refine into Spirit Corpses!" After hearing multiple explosive "Booms!", Corpse Cloud Old Demon becomes furious.
He is not here for revenge; he is ordered by the Celestial Corpse Sect to capture Ye Family cultivators. Others need not be spared, but Ye Family members must be captured alive as much as possible.
He didn’t expect the Ye Family cultivators to be so tough; each one has a low cultivation level but chooses self-destruction.
Although they are mere ants.
The Ye Family cultivators are spread too wide, and the market is dense; they can’t control it quickly, especially with many Ye Family cultivators blending into the crowd, looking like ordinary loose cultivators, not wearing Ye Family robes.
"Only a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment..." Another cultivator speaks, looking somewhat displeased.
They thought there would be big fishes at Taihang Market but found not even one Late Stage Foundation Establishment.
Corpse Cloud Old Demon can’t help but shake his head.
A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment can’t reach the Ye Family high levels. This raid’s effectiveness is quite poor.
He sighs inwardly, hoping for gains elsewhere.
...
Taichang Market, Taihang Market, Celestial Arrival Market, Celestial Protection Market, all have been attacked like Taihang Market.
Each witnessed different forces, including Celestial Corpse Sect, Bai Family, and Celestial Water Sect cultivators.
But when everyone arrived, the Ye Family’s core members were long gone.
Only clan members without Ye Family blood remained.
Nevertheless, the bloodshed and turmoil left the entire cultivation realm of Yan Kingdom in panic.
...
Lingyun Peak, now with the array raised high, several figures gather before it.
The Golden Core aura fully displayed, cultivators fire wildly; before long, the array disperses.
Several figures flying out above the array intensifies the fury of the figures in the sky.
Ultimately, they only managed to kill a few Qi Cultivation cultivators, who were honored guest elders recruited by the Ye Family.
...
Qinghe Sect, Yanqing Commandery.
On a nameless great mountain, a Black Tower stood tall.
Inside the tower, Divine Soul aura permeated, and corpses were everywhere.
True Monarch Tai Peng stood among them, with his disciples following behind.
"Master, have you found anything..."
"No, the Ye Family is indeed cautious, having hidden their core cultivators early on..." True Monarch Tai Peng shook his head. He had intended to capture Ye Xuecang and the other three, but hadn’t anticipated that they were in Medicine King Valley, not in a hurry to leave.
He had to make a move within the Yan Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm.
But in so many places, without mentioning the interference from the Divine Soul Forbidden Array and Sect Jade Book, even without them, he estimated he wouldn’t find much.
After all, even someone like Ye Jingteng of the Purple Mansion knew little about the Ye Family.
Moreover, what troubled him most was that the Ye Family had even given up on their Clan Mountain Lingyun Peak.
Such boldness is not something an ordinary person can muster.
"You go back to the sect, and have your Sixth Path Uncle investigate whether there have been any rising sects in the Central Domain and other regions recently, as the Ye Family might have established branches in other major domains."
True Monarch Tai Peng then said.
Although they cannot go to war with Medicine King Valley and Golden Light Temple now, it is easy for Penglai to target these cultivation kingdoms.
All affiliated forces, first swear allegiance, then attack the markets and some spiritual ore mountain gates of these cultivation kingdoms, forcing them to be trapped in one place.
Not to mention a hundred or two hundred years, in fifty years, these sects will suffer significant losses.
Nascent Soul powers might be okay, but Golden Core Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment powers will eventually all fall back under their control.
Moreover, Medicine King Valley will have to support these sects, and as time drags on, they will inevitably have to use the teleportation array to teleport to the Western Domain to obtain cultivation resources from within the Golden Light Temple’s territory.
Not only dragging down Medicine King Valley, but they might also get information about the teleportation array, and might even go to the Western Domain to kill some Buddhist monks.
It is said that these monks’ relics are excellent body refining treasures.
"After some time, let Qinghe take action. I want to see how many cultivators Medicine King Valley can send to support." True Monarch Tai Peng spoke again.
"Yes!" The disciple immediately nodded respectfully.
After a pause, he inquired again:
"Master, should we investigate the Taihang Mountain Range?"
"Not for now, your Ancestor Nine Infants has not returned yet, and it is unwise to make too many enemies now. Once this matter is over, I also need to enter seclusion, and by then, I will have your Master Chi Xue come over."
"He lost his Dao Foundation and Dao Incarnation in the Earth Immortal Realm and needs some blood food to replenish!"
Tai Peng shook his head, his mind recalling the image of the Qingqiu Fox.
"Master, you’re about to break through!" The cultivator’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
As he knew, his master had long reached the Nascent Soul Peak, which is why he could heavily injure True Monarch Bailian with a single punch.
Now, if he breaks through, it would be a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation.
"There is some hope, but Bai Yao the Daoist got ahead of me!" Tai Peng’s face showed some discontent, not entirely pleased.
He had his own gains in the Earth Immortal Realm, combined with the sect’s years of planning, and having harvested a suitable Dao Foundation, the certainty wasn’t high, but it was at least forty percent.
Of course, don’t think forty percent is small.
The difficulty of a Nascent Soul breaking through to Divinity Transformation is more than ten times that of a Golden Core breaking through to Nascent Soul. Even with a Divinity Transformation Treasure Medicine and numerous preparations, True Monarch Tai Peng dared not boast.
This is why, although several sects along the eastern coast knew Penglai had issues, they were still unwilling to wait for True Monarch Bai Yao’s breakthrough.
After all, it might ultimately end in failure, making everyone’s expectations in vain.
Standing with Penglai now, at least they won’t be held accountable eventually.
Moreover, even if True Monarch Bai Yao breaks through, he cannot immediately deal with Penglai.
"You should cultivate well too!" True Monarch Tai Peng spoke again, waving his hand.
"Disciple takes his leave."
...
Long Elephant Valley, Ye Qingyan, Ye Jingfeng, and Ye Haiyu gathered here.
Beside them was a teleportation array, with a piece of Spirit Jade placed on it.
This Spirit Jade is precisely the Jade Celestial Heaven, where most of the Ye Family’s core Beast Communication Pattern cultivators and some promising Ye Family young talents are currently residing.
Back when Ye Xuecang set out, the Ye Family had already gathered the Beast Communication Pattern cultivators, and finally, Ye Jingfeng and Ye Haiyu felt it wasn’t secure enough. They collected all the treasures and Spirit Medicines from Lingyun Peak, leaving only Spirit Mountain and a few disciples there.
"The soul talismans of those disciples have shattered; something must have happened!" Ye Jingfeng said sorrowfully.
"I wonder how Second Uncle and the others are doing!" Although the jade talismans of the four were fine, at this time, they were also somewhat worried, as the entire Yan Kingdom was in turmoil.
"There shouldn’t be any problems. If there were, they would use the clan token to send us a message." Ye Haiyu shook her head in response.
On her waist was a Spirit Beast Bag, within which was the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.
This was also the Ye Family’s final insurance. If the opponent chased them here, they could only release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor to buy time, then teleport away!
