Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1480 - 1059: Target Celestial Corpse

The situation on Lingyun Peak was naturally still highly tense. In the distance, the Nascent Soul from Medicine King Valley had disappeared, and the Roc Eagle in the air descended.

Including Ye Jingcheng, all the Nascent Souls were currently observing the expressions of Shengyun True Monarch and Jinling True Monk. Countless Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Clans had already been crushed breathless by this oppressive pressure.

Of course, many clans and Sects had openly defected, taking their stand behind Shengyun True Monarch.

"Qingchen Daoist, what should we do next?" Ye Jingcheng asked. He didn’t know if Shengyun True Monarch could intercept Transmissions, so he spoke exceptionally cryptically.

His palm was already resting on Coiling Heaven. If any accidents befell Medicine King Valley, he would release the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit at the first opportunity. Although the Primordial Magnetic Mountain Spirit’s Spiritual Wisdom was still insufficient, under Ye Jingcheng’s direct control via the Soul Contract, combined with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, they could at least kill the Celestial Corpse True Monarch right away, even if they couldn’t turn the tide of the battle. With the Celestial Corpse True Monarch dead, the enemy would lose control over several Corpse Emperors. With the enemy’s Combat Power thus reduced, the remaining Nascent Souls might not defeat two Late Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators, but ensuring the safe evacuation of the Ye Family was entirely possible.

However, Ye Jingcheng soon calmed down from his initial urgency. He suddenly noticed that Shengyun True Monarch was only feigning calmness; internally, he was still somewhat apprehensive. On the other hand, Jinling True Monk was feigning apprehension while harboring a terrifying inner calm. If that weren’t the case, Jinling True Monk and True Monarch Qingchen would have charged into battle long ago. Why would they need Ye Jingcheng to fire the first shot?

"Wait a bit longer," True Monarch Qingchen responded.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng pressed down on Coiling Heaven, his eyes reflecting relief. He had warned Medicine King Valley previously. If they truly hadn’t been prepared, they would have likely been wiped out by the Penglai Sect by now.

Ye Jingcheng stayed toward the back, allowing Jinling True Monk and Shengyun True Monarch to confront each other. Naturally, his gaze drifted toward the Celestial Corpse True Monarch. While they couldn’t arbitrarily attack the Penglai Sect’s Nascent Souls, the Celestial Corpse True Monarch was merely from an Affiliated Force with whom they already held a grudge. Killing him was completely acceptable. He noticed the others’ gazes also seemed to lock faintly onto the Celestial Corpse True Monarch. Evidently, everyone wanted to crush this relatively weaker target.

"Medicine King Valley has been destroyed!" Right at this moment, Shengyun True Monarch abruptly unleashed his aura, alongside True Monarch Chi Xue.

This scene greatly alarmed all the Nascent Souls, prompting them to retreat in all directions. This even included True Monarch Qingling of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

Only Ye Jingcheng stood his ground. A Chessboard Bead flew from his hand, poised to shroud the Celestial Corpse True Monarch. He knew that regardless of whether Medicine King Valley had been destroyed or the Penglai Sect had failed, killing the Celestial Corpse True Monarch first was the undeniably correct move.

To Ye Jingcheng’s disappointment, the Celestial Corpse True Monarch was exceptionally well-prepared. He had unexpectedly left behind only a Tier Four Substitute Corpse Puppet. His true body had long since flown to the side. He even brandished a Magical Treasure and attacked the Mortals and ordinary Cultivators of the Ye Family. His primary targets were none other than Ye Jingyu and the other core Ye Family Members.

"How dare you!"

Enraged by this sight, Ye Jingcheng was forced to activate the Tier Five Wuyuan Conical Hat to protect Ye Jingyu and the others. The dense Spiritual Light emanated a terrifying Spiritual Might. While the core Ye Family Members remained unscathed, many peripheral clan members and Cultivators attending the ceremony, such as those from the Tian Dao Sect, suffered injuries. Fortunately, those positioned near the mountainside possessed at least Purple Mansion or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivation. Otherwise, the residual shockwaves alone would have caused massive casualties.

"Don’t believe him, we have a backup plan this time!" Seeing True Monarch Simurgh, Xueyun Monarch, and True Monarch Qingling showing faint intentions to retreat, Jinling True Monk hastily called out. He brought out his Magical Treasure, the Ancient Bronze Bell. The Copper Bell rapidly expanded, transforming into a Giant Bell that sought to trap True Monarch Chi Xue.

However, before he could clash with True Monarch Chi Xue and Shengyun True Monarch, the two men and one beast took the Celestial Corpse True Monarch and the others, swiftly vanishing from Lingyun Peak.

Ultimately, the Secret Techniques of True Monarch Qingchen and Jinling True Monk merely landed beneath the wings of the Roc Eagle Demon Emperor before dissipating into Spiritual Light. They failed to pose any substantial threat. Only Ye Jingcheng, by deploying his Chessboard Bead swiftly enough, managed to cost the Celestial Corpse True Monarch one Corpse Puppet.

"What a pity!" True Monarch Qingchen wore a regretful expression. He too had set his sights on the Celestial Corpse True Monarch early on.

Unfortunately, not many people had been informed about the situation regarding Medicine King Valley. Even he had only recently learned that there were quite a few Nascent Souls from the Western Domain stationed there. It was normal for the other Nascent Souls to react with such alarm; after all, no one wanted to make meaningless sacrifices. If Medicine King Valley had been destroyed, they would have immediately retreated into the Taihang Mountain Range. Although they might face dangers from Demon Saints and Demon Emperors, they could at least survive for a while.

"Are you alright?" Ye Jingcheng didn’t pursue the enemy, turning instead to Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingli, and his other clan members.

"We’re fine. That Celestial Corpse True Monarch is far too terrifying!" Ye Jingyu shook his head. Naturally, they weren’t afraid of the Celestial Corpse True Monarch’s sheer strength. Rather, it was the fact that he had found a way to counter Ye Jingcheng in such a fleeting moment.

If Ye Jingcheng hadn’t been forced to hold back to protect Ye Jingyu and the rest, his full-power strike might well have prevented the Celestial Corpse True Monarch from escaping. This kind of Nascent Soul cultivator with no bottom line was the most fearsome type of all.

After everyone conducted a quick check and distributed Spirit Pills to the injured clan members, three figures appeared in the distance. They were none other than True Monarch Bailian and two Nascent Souls from the Western Domain clad in Golden Robes.

Landing in the plaza, one of them asked, "Jinling Daoist, no problems on this end, right?"

"No problems. How are things at Medicine King Valley?" Jinling True Monk waved his hand, indicating that a fight hadn’t even broken out, before asking about the situation on their end.

"We destroyed Wuxin’s physical body; he likely won’t recover to his prime within a century. Aside from that, we severed half the body of the Tier Five Pure-blooded Earth Flood Dragon and killed one Corpse Emperor. As for the rest, they managed to escape, though we did kill quite a few Tier Four Demon King-class Spirit Beasts and Golden Core cultivators."

"The Beast Spirit Sect has developed exceptionally well over the years. In the Eastern Domain, apart from the Haotian Daoist Temple, the Beast Spirit Sect is likely the most troublesome." True Monarch Bailian couldn’t help but sigh with a trace of pity.

Their battle results this time could have been even greater, but unfortunately, the combat power of that Tier Five Pure-blooded Earth Flood Dragon was truly terrifying. Coupled with the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Tian Du True Monarch, their gains were limited to this.

However, for Medicine King Valley, their objective had been achieved. The Penglai Sect likely wouldn’t harbor any further designs before Bai Yao broke through. Furthermore, the rebels among the four nations of Yan, Zhao, Jin, and Wei could now largely be identified.

"Ye Daoist, excuse my intrusion, but we need to clean out some parasites today!" Beside them, True Monarch Qingchen cupped his hands toward Ye Jingcheng.

This scene caused many of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Cultivators who had previously defected to flee madly outward. However, their escape attempts appeared far too feeble in the face of Nascent Souls and Golden Cores, and they were quickly struck down.

Ye Jingcheng remained completely calm in the face of this slaughter. He knew that if Medicine King Valley had failed and his combat power had been insufficient, it would have been the Ye Family Members being massacred today. In fact, these defecting Cultivators would have been the primary vanguard against them.

Of course, what greatly piqued Ye Jingcheng’s interest was that the Beast Spirit Sect seemed to possess a Pure-blooded Earth Flood Dragon Demon Emperor that had half its body severed. This very likely meant that the Earth Flood Dragon Essence Blood had fallen into the hands of Medicine King Valley’s faction.

He could spend some Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicines to purchase it. The only thing to be mindful of was that he had previously leaked many of the Spirit Medicines used in the Tier Five Advancement Pill. If he leaked his need for the Essence Blood this time, it might be equivalent to giving away a Pill Formula that they could deduce and perfect.

Therefore, how to buy it and what to use for the transaction was an art form in itself.
