"Provided that your Ye Family assembles all cultivators above Foundation Establishment and performs the Inquire Spirit collectively without any hitches!" Master Xuan Dao declared as well.
"Certainly, you may consult with your Ye Family beforehand on this issue, particularly Jingcheng—he serves as an honorary steward in our Taiyi Sect. Without doubt, Taiyi Sect will stand by him!"
...
Lingyun Peak's Assembly Hall was packed once more at this juncture.
Ye Jingyun, Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyong, plus Ye Xinghan, Ye Jingzhi, and Ye Jinghong filled the hall. Right now, within Lingyun Peak, only Ye Qingyan—away at Taichang Market—was missing.
"What are your views? Rumors across Zhao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom now claim our Ye Family descends from the Beast Wilderness!" Ye Jingyun expressed with helplessness.
Resentment brewed in him too, uncertain which power was fanning these flames, leaving the Ye Family scorched like meat over blazing coals.
"For now, evidence remains absent—mere gossip—so we still have wiggle room!" Ye Xinghan, unfamiliar with family intricacies, suggested.
He sensed a hidden hand orchestrating this chaos.
Their goal was clear: total destruction for the Ye Family.
"The Jia Family likely pulls strings here, and our Ye Family can't endure a thorough probe!" Ye Jingyun admitted in despair.
Though most Ye clansmen remained oblivious, Lingyun Peak sheltered numerous members bearing the Beast Communication Pattern. Should anyone fail to self-destruct in time and get seized, catastrophe loomed.
On top of that, retreat options eluded them—abandon Lingyun Peak or flee elsewhere?
A mass exodus might seal their fate, inviting Nascent Soul hunters.
"Jingcheng's presence would help immensely!" Ye Jingyun felt total helplessness now, unequipped for such crises or the enemy's schemes.
After all, it started as mere whispers.
Yet whispers ignited like wildfires, convincing masses.
Paired with Cyan Cloud Sea Domain tales of Beast Tide drawn by Beast Wilderness.
Pressure mounted fiercely.
Evidence or not, belief took root widely.
Per Ye Jingteng's reports, Taiyi Sect prepared to dispatch Sword Peak and Dharma Peak forces for inspection.
Yet his scheme proved impossible; Ye Jingcheng traveled and secluded still.
He could merely urge Ye Xuefan and kin for answers.
"Send Yanqing, Yun Xi, Yun He, Qingxue, Qingfu, and key young talents first to Earth Dragon Valley. Next, dispatch the second wave of clansmen with Beast Communication Pattern to Hidden Valley and Insect Valley ahead of time! Finally, we staying behind must ready poison pills. Should trouble strike, align with Beast Communication Pattern activation—seize that vital instant!" Despite waiting, Ye Jingyun refused idleness.
First wave: Evacuate family prodigies.
Second wave: Shift bulk of Pattern-bearing members.
Third wave: Elders of Ye clan hold position, better judging grave stakes.
All while avoiding sect alarms.
"The lead to Earth Dragon Valley falls to Jingli naturally, with Jingzhi overseeing the second group!" Ye Xinghan proposed.
"No way! Jinghong fits Earth Dragon Valley better. As a Ye Family pillar, I handle most artifact refining—I can't depart!" Ye Jingli rejected outright, shaking his head.
"Old Jiu, Uncle Xinghan, my role in the family may be minor, but outside, Ye Jingli shines as a gifted refiner. My absence from Lingyun Peak would raise red flags. As mere rearguard, with Xing Generation fading, why not us Jing elders?" Ye Jingli proclaimed firmly.
Hearing this, Ye Xinghan and Ye Jingyun dropped their resistance.
"Hoping Uncle Xue Fan and Grandfather devise a fix swiftly and hurry back!"
