Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1559 - 1131: 5 Years, Treasure Completed

Before the Array could fully close its encirclement, countless bolts of lightning came crashing down from afar. They struck the Array Discs with impeccable accuracy. Thunder Light surged instantly; in the blink of an eye, the Array Discs shattered, and the Array vanished.

"It’s Master Lei Hu!" By now, the Hong Family Cultivators had been heavily ravaged by the Demon Corpses, suffering countless casualties. Seeing Master Lei Hu appear with the Ye Family Members truly made them feel a glimmer of Vitality. However, facing a Golden Core Cultivator, out of the five Purple Mansion Cultivators, three were in a panic, while the other two retained their cold, indifferent expressions.

"Ye Jing Hu, you’re exactly who I’ve been waiting for!" Just then, a figure in the void suddenly erupted with the Cultivation of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, aiming squarely at Master Lei Hu. Snatching the Upper Grade Spirit Vein was their goal, but killing Ye Jing Hu and Ye Yunxi was also part of their plan.

This hidden Nascent Soul Cultivator was none other than the Xiao Family’s Old Demon, possessing a Cultivation at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul. Thanks to him, the Xiao Family had even become one of the relatively powerful Nascent Soul Powers in Nanman Province. Previously, he had beaten True Monarch Liu Yuan into steady retreat. His strength was even somewhat superior to that of True Monarch Gui Xuan.

"Old Demon Xiao, why is it you?!" Ye Jing Hu was suddenly flustered and hurriedly summoned the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. He had expected a Nascent Soul Cultivator to appear, but he hadn’t anticipated it to be Old Demon Xiao.

Over the past five years, while the grand scenes of all the Nascent Soul Cultivators clashing like before hadn’t repeated, there had been many more instances of Golden Core and Purple Mansion Cultivators invading each other’s territories. Their goals were no longer simply killing, but snatching Spirit Stone Veins, destroying each other’s Affiliated Forces, and performing Blood Sacrifices for Opening Boundary Doors.

Ye Jing Hu also wasn’t sure why the Righteous Sects didn’t blockade all the paths to deny these Evil Cultivators any opportunities, nor had their Nascent Soul Cultivators come out in full force. Instead, both sides just went back and forth, plundering resources from one another.

Over these years, Nascent Soul Clans like the Ye Family were undoubtedly benefiting. While seizing the enemy’s resources, they were also able to discover Treasures hidden by the Affiliated Forces in Tianshu Mansion and Xiaoshan Prefecture. For example, the Hong Family had concealed a miniature Upper-Grade Spirit Stone Vein. This was the fundamental reason why the Hong Family could develop so rapidly; their proficiency in Magical Artifacts was nothing more than a front.

Aside from the Upper-Grade Spirit Stone Vein, they also had quite a few other Spirit Stone Veins. Naturally, they didn’t have to share these hidden veins with Nascent Soul Powers like the Ye Family or even the Righteous Sects. However, once exposed, they would require protection from the Ye Family and the Righteous Sects, making it inevitable to hand over two to four tenths of their yield. Therefore, over the past five years, the Ye Family had gained a share in seven or eight Spirit Stone Veins.

Previously, Ye Jing Hu had been able to resolve everything with his Cultivation at the Early Stage of Golden Core, so no errors had occurred. Furthermore, he and Ye Yunxi had forged an even greater reputation together. But this time, it was obvious the enemy was coming specifically for him.

Fortunately, although Ye Jingcheng had been in Seclusion focusing on Alchemy and Cultivation over the years, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had always stayed with Ye Jing Hu. With the appearance of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Old Demon Xiao was able to gain a considerable upper hand, relying on his Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Body Cultivation and his ferocious Demon Cultivation Technique. However, the physical bodies of the Flood Dragon Race were equally tyrannical. While it couldn’t defeat Old Demon Xiao across Tiers, it could at least hold him off for a while.

Moreover, this was Tianshu Mansion, where Teleportation Arrays were plentiful. If the fight dragged on, Old Demon Xiao would be the one getting anxious.

"Did you really think I was alone?!" At this moment, a figure appeared behind Ye Jing Hu. This figure was astonishingly another Nascent Soul Cultivator. Even though he only had Cultivation at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, killing a Golden Core Cultivator like Ye Jing Hu would be effortless for him.

Ye Jing Hu immediately paled in shock. He hastily pulled out a Celestial Gate Talisman and began to flee. As Spiritual Light flashed, he leaped out, dodging the first strike. The Nascent Soul Cultivator was not annoyed; he did not believe Ye Jing Hu had a second Celestial Gate Talisman.

But before he could fully cast his spell, the figure of a Cultivator suddenly surfaced behind him, accompanied by a crimson Fire Fox. The Fire Fox radiated Spiritual Light, surging with Spiritual Fire.

"Why are you here?!" The Cultivator at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul was instantly alarmed but acted with absolute decisiveness. In an instant, he blinded his own eyes, relying purely on his Divine Sense to grasp the flow of battle. The Illusion Skill and Purple Fire of the Red Flame Fox actually relied entirely on visual contact. By blinding his eyes, the flames naturally couldn’t take root, stripping away the vast majority of the Red Flame Fox’s methods.

The opponent’s decisiveness still greatly shocked Ye Jingcheng. This meant the Demon Cultivators had already begun studying him. However, Ye Jingcheng’s strength was not lacking either. Suddenly, a pair of wings lit up behind his back. Ignited with crimson Spiritual Fire, the wings allowed his body to instantly drift a massive distance through the air.

In the next second, he terrifyingly materialized behind the Nascent Soul Cultivator. An Array Disc Bead dropped toward the enemy. But to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise once again, the opponent directly abandoned his physical body, allowing his Nascent Soul to escape. Thus, what Ye Jingcheng had trapped was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s fleshy husk.

Meanwhile, Old Demon Xiao, though unwilling to accept it, didn’t dare to linger. Sweeping up one of the Demon Cultivator Purple Mansion Cultivators, he flew off into the distance. He didn’t dare to pause for even a second.

Ye Jingcheng had actually harbored murderous intent toward Old Demon Xiao, but just like the scene before him, the opponent fled too quickly and was overly decisive. Although Ye Jingcheng possessed the newly refined Ancient Crow Wings Magical Treasure, he still had to worry about potential traps. The enemy undoubtedly had Teleportation Arrays as well, which was why Ye Jingcheng didn’t pursue him.

As for the several Purple Mansion Cultivators, Old Demon Xiao had only taken one away. Of the remaining four, three were killed on the spot by Ye Jing Hu. Only one person remained, cupping his hands in greeting toward Ye Jingcheng.
