Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1554 - 1129: Terrifying Achievements, 1000 Ghosts Tracking Qi

The whimpering, mournful sounds gradually faded, leaving only the patter of the rain falling across the sky, as if the heavens themselves were softly sobbing.

The multicolored Spiritual Rainbows had also disappeared. Only a few scattered figures remained, withdrawing their Spiritual Light as they set things up around the area.

In front of Demon-Vanquishing City, the blood had already been washed away by the rain, and the corpses and Treasures had all been collected.

The brightest places on the entire mountain peak were once again the burning Beacon Towers.

The golden flames were still as bright as ever, illuminating the people who were rearranging the Arrays and repairing the city walls, bringing a slight sense of warmth to their hearts.

On the city wall, those of the Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, and Golden Core stages still didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. With the continuous operation of the Teleportation Array, there were impressively already thirteen Nascent Soul Cultivators present.

The two newly arrived Nascent Soul Cultivators were the State Governor of Nanyu Province, who also bore the surname Lu, and True Monarch Bai Yuan from the Righteous Sect. The two of them had rushed over, their expressions filled with urgency and chagrin as they continuously offered their sympathies to the injured.

"How is Xuan Kui Daoist?" Among the group of Nascent Soul Cultivators, aside from the one who failed to return, the most heavily injured was Xuan Kui True Monarch.

This time, he had forcefully confronted True Monarch He Yu. Even though he could transform into the body of a Wood Demon Puppet, the opponent’s bizarre Divine Techniques countered Xuan Kui True Monarch all the same. Not only was his physical body damaged, but one of his Tier Five Spirit Puppets was also damaged.

"If the Profound Celestial Sect comes again, I might not be able to fend off the Desire-Union Old Demon," Xuan Kui True Monarch said. He had swallowed quite a few Elixirs, but at this moment, he was only forcefully suppressing his injuries. He glanced at True Monarch Bai Yuan before speaking to Xingyuan True Monarch.

He knew that completely retreating at this time was unrealistic, but he was unwilling to face True Monarch He Yu again. At most, he could stall a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the same Tier, and it couldn’t be a Middle Stage of Nascent Soul from the Profound Celestial Sect.

Of course, the look in his eyes during that glance was worth pondering over.

Ye Jingcheng immediately looked at True Monarch Bai Yuan as well. He noticed that True Monarch Bai Yuan’s aura was as profound as Xingyuan True Monarch’s, clearly indicating the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. Combined with the fact that he was together with State Governor Lu, it was obvious which faction he belonged to.

It was normal for others to arrive late, but for True Monarch Bai Yuan and State Governor Lu to be late was not so normal. This specific timing was exactly when Demon-Vanquishing City wouldn’t fall, but would be in a dire state. It was only because he had successfully bided his time, turned the tide, and slain three Nascent Soul Cultivators in a row that they held out; otherwise, the Righteous Sect would likely have been the one to suffer a crushing defeat.

"Rest assured. The Demon Cultivators were just taking advantage of the fact that Junior Brother Bai Yuan wasn’t here. Now that Junior Brother Bai Yuan has arrived, he can at least make True Monarch He Yu stay for good!" Xingyuan True Monarch took out another Healing Spirit Pill and handed it to Xuan Kui True Monarch before looking at True Monarch Bai Yuan. "Junior Brother Bai Yuan has been in Seclusion for over seventy years. Coming out of Seclusion this time, he should be able to gain the upper hand even against the Jie Ye Old Demon."

Xingyuan True Monarch spoke casually, but everyone knew he was putting True Monarch Bai Yuan on a pedestal, forcing him to confront the most troublesome True Monarch Jie Ye. However, neither True Monarch Bai Yuan nor State Governor Lu were greenhorns. No matter what Xingyuan True Monarch said, their expressions remained perfectly normal.

Only when he realized he was slated to face True Monarch Jie Ye did True Monarch Bai Yuan speak. "If Senior Brother gives the order, I will accomplish it even if it’s beyond my capabilities."

Seeing that True Monarch Bai Yuan was still beating around the bush, Xingyuan True Monarch immediately lost interest.

The White Jade Faction was notorious within the Righteous Sect for never acting without a guaranteed payoff. They usually appeared incredibly amiable, as if they didn’t compete for anything, but once they saw real benefits, they would bite down and never let go. Just like this time, they simply wanted to get a slice of the pie in front of the World Gate.

They even gave up a nomination quota for a State Governor. Of course, even if they hadn’t given it up, they most likely wouldn’t have been selected anyway. After all, among the five factions of the Righteous Sect, the most powerful Zheng Huang Sect was putting all its efforts into supporting the Yun Tian Grand Elder’s breakthrough, while their Blood Red Sect faction had seen a significant increase in Combat Power recently.

"The Zhang Family of Qing Guang Daoist will be taken care of by Junior Brother Lu," Xingyuan True Monarch arranged.

The Cultivator who died this time was none other than Zhang Qingguang of Nanyu Province, a subordinate of State Governor Lu.

For Affiliated Forces that sacrificed themselves for the Sect, the Righteous Sect would protect them for three hundred years, ensuring that they would continue to enjoy the benefits of a Nascent Soul Power. They would also provide extra support in the form of two Gold Condensing Pills, and even offer additional care within the Earth Immortal Realm. This was exactly why the Righteous Sect had such strong rallying power.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother," State Governor Lu nodded, generously agreeing to the request.

Although a Nascent Soul Cultivator from Nanyu Province had fallen, inland State Mansions didn’t need to maintain as much Nascent Soul Combat Power as the border State Mansions did. Moreover, it was highly likely that Cyan Light True Monarch was merely a pawn meant to be discarded. Therefore, the expressions of the two men didn’t change at all.

"Elder Xingyuan, Elder Bai Yuan, if there are no other matters, I will go check on my Sect members." Ye Jingcheng, however, had no interest in the disputes between the two factions. To him, if it were possible, he would rather the great war come to a halt. After all, at this moment, not only could he start refining the Advancement Pill for the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, but he could also try entering Seclusion with the Cold Marrow to attempt a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

"Go ahead, that is only proper," Xingyuan True Monarch nodded, then waved his hand, dismissing the rest of them to check on their own people.

"As for the merits for defeating Nascent Soul Cultivators, the two at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul will be calculated at two thousand five hundred each, and True Monarch Gui Xuan at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul will be calculated at three thousand five hundred. However, the exchange for Treasures will have to wait until the great war concludes!" Xingyuan True Monarch suddenly remembered something and quickly added.

Defending against the Profound Celestial Sect was considered a conscripted war by the Righteous Sect. In addition to compensations for the fallen, there were also rewards for killing enemies.
