~5 minute read · 1,319 words

Yong’an Peak, Zhang Family Peak.

The mountain entrance is tightly closed here as well, with arrays in full operation.

At this moment, inside the Zhang Family Hall, three people are gathered here.

Judging by their aura, all three are Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Sitting in the lead position is Zhang Yujing, who once oversaw Taichang Market, and beside him is Zhang Yuhuai, who once refined the Unyielding Spirit Armor magical artifact for Ye Jingcheng.

"Brother Jing, do you really want to expose the Ye Family?" Zhang Yuhuai hesitated.

"Yuhuai, do you really think this is child’s play?" Zhang Yujing immediately gave Zhang Yuhuai a sharp glare.

At this moment, Zhang Yujing held a black mirror, with the scene on the mirror showing an image of Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

However, the scene is brief, only showing the appearance of several Spirit Beasts before it abruptly ends.

But this scene is enough to gather sufficient evidence for them.

Beast tides have emerged in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, and it’s naturally related to Demon-enticing Grass, which was once most planted and kept as seeds in Beast Desolate Wasteland.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jing Hu are absent from Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak.

This indicates that the two were not at Lingyun Peak.

The possibility of them being descendants of Beast Desolate is too high!

Furthermore, there are too many Tier Two Spirit Beasts in the Ye Family, and everything points to them being a Beast Desolate Clan.

"If we do not expose Ye Family, someone will come to expose our Zhang Family; the affairs of Yu Ling and Yu Xue are still unknown who harmed them, and the risk in our ancestor’s breakthrough has increased. If we cannot transfer the risk, our Zhang Family will also be in dire straits; remember how Celestial Blessing Master threatened Uncle Five back then?"

"Do you really think our Zhang Family can offer up another heritage to satisfy Taiyi Sect?" Zhang Yujing continued to add.

Zhang Yuhuai sighed, although he inwardly disagreed, Zhang Yujing’s words were indeed true.

If you do not become a Nascent Soul Clan, you will be forced by Nascent Soul Powers.

"Brother Jing, if we are to move against the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng is extremely fearsome. If we cannot completely eliminate him, our Zhang Family’s future will surely face significant danger."

"Even if we become a Nascent Soul Clan, we will live in constant fear!" Zhang Yuhuai hesitated for a moment before adding again.

He clearly distinguishes the weight between the family’s and his own views.

If the family decides on action, he will naturally follow, but once it’s done, he must ensure no lingering threats remain.

His words left Zhang Yujing utterly shocked.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Yuhuai to have such a high evaluation of Ye Jingcheng.

Bear in mind, Zhang Yuhuai himself is a genius, yet for Zhang Yuhuai to be so convinced and wary, few in Taiyi Sect can achieve this.

"Ye Jingcheng is indeed troublesome, and he is too close to Taiyi Sect, so we should not reveal evidence yet; instead, we should first put pressure on Ye Family."

"Start the rumors from Zhao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom Cultivation Realm, then spread them within the Qinghe Four Commanderies, letting other cultivation realms pressure Ye Family; Ye Jingcheng will naturally have to return to Lingyun Peak. Once he appears openly, we can truly act, preferably at the last moment when the Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone are safely secure. In such a way, the Beast Desolate’s uproar will lend everyone to forget about the Spirit Gathering Array event!"

"And if we do not provide evidence, they will not be able to guess that it was secretly our Zhang Family’s doing. After all, until now, our Zhang Family hasn’t done anything detrimental to the Ye Family!" Zhang Yujing spoke.

In the cultivation realm, rumors often turn into reality if spread enough.

Especially when faced with overwhelming interests, those Nascent Soul True Monarchs and True Masters will not care if the means are excessively harsh.

History is written by the victors.

"Let’s follow Brother Jing’s words!" Eventually, Zhang Yuhuai nodded and immediately proceeded to handle affairs.

Zhang Yujing watched Zhang Yuhuai’s silhouette disappear within the hall.

He turned to the remaining person.

"Yuhuai’s talent and Artifact Refining prowess are truly exceptional, but he’s lacking a bit in ruthlessness, without the potential to be a formidable ruler!"

"Your Zhang Family should be content; our Jia Family’s wealth far exceeds your Zhang Family, but our influence still falls short of yours!" The figure beside finally spoke.

...

Lingyun Peak, following the end of the conference, Ye Jingyun and his group appeared in a Xiao Xiao Mountain Range, and soon they all gathered.

The number and lineup of cultivators were the same as before, just better prepared, seemingly bringing more magical artifacts this time.

Once again, focusing their target on the Wood Demon.

"What kind of Wood Demon is this?" Chu Yanqing couldn’t hold her patience anymore and asked.

She is, after all, a Purple Mansion Cultivator and Ye Jingcheng’s wife, so she can ask if she is curious.

Moreover, this time the expedition is towards Xin’an Commandery in Medicine King Valley within Zhao Kingdom, and the journey is quite far.

If an accident happens and she knows nothing, it would be even more troublesome.

"Golden Dust Sandthorn Wood Demon!" Ye Jingyun heard this and no longer concealed it.

As these words were spoken, Chu Yanqing was momentarily stunned but soon understood why Ye Jingyun was taking such risks.

The Golden Dust Sandthorn Wood Demon belongs to the dry attribute Spirit Medicine, mostly distributed in deserts and loess plateaus.

Now, such prolific occurrence of Sandthorn Wood Demon on a flourishing island like Xin’an Commandery is indeed eerie.

This might even be what Ye Jingcheng has been searching for all along.

"Sister-in-law, I won’t hide much this time; it’s crucial for whether the Ye Family can find a suitable way forward!"

"Although the chances are slim, we cannot give up, even if it might be a trap!" Ye Jingyun spoke solemnly.

These words almost fully disclosed the truth; capturing the Wood Demon is merely a facade, whereas finding the Teleportation Array and clues of West Sand World is the real intention.

The key to success lies in Chu Yanqing’s strength and her Star Illusion Eye.

Thus, the Ye Family has mobilized all its current powerhouses, leaving only Ye Jingli with a group of cultivators here.

"What about the family here..." Chu Yanqing was still a bit worried.

"The family arrangements are already set; most valuable spiritual products have been transferred to Hidden Valley in advance."

"Important clan members of Ye Family will be organized to participate in an external fieldwork clan studies course, Yun Xi included!" Ye Jingyun added.

With this addition, Chu Yanqing nodded.

She once again took out the Tier Three Spiritual Ship.

Ye Jingyun then took out several Bone Transformation Pills.

The first time was a feint, in order to return in grand fashion.

This time, however, things are different; Ye Jingli and others must not leak anything.

Thus swallowing Bone Transformation Pills to change appearance is extremely necessary.

Furthermore, the route is entirely different, not heading from Taihang Commandery straight to Taichang Commandery into Zhao Kingdom Cultivation Realm.

The route is redirected through Taiqing Commandery, entering Zhao Kingdom’s Xin’an Commandery via Qinghe Sect, adjacent to Zhao Kingdom.

Even before this, Ye Jingli had thoroughly prepared all Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion Clans in Xin’an Commandery, researching where clan mountains might hold the possibility of hosting Teleportation Arrays.

As well as which clans might likely be yet another branch of the Zhang Family.
