Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the main hall, several sandalwood incense sticks burned slowly, producing a faint smoke that lingered throughout the space.

Accompanying the smoke was a layer of array formations, enveloping the side hall.

Grandmaster Zitian’s figure appeared even more hazy and mysterious within the smoke.

He walked slowly, stopping only five feet away from Ye Jingcheng, and gazed upon him.

Even though he stood lower, his gaze made it seem as if Ye Jingcheng was the one looking up from below.

This was completely different from when he faced off against Grandmaster Xiwang in the Taichang Mountains.

At this moment, he resembled a celestial being.

“You think that by pretending to be blessed by the heavens, I won’t kill you?”

Grandmaster Zitian’s voice was filled with indifference, and the word “kill” was so potent that Ye Jingcheng felt a thick killing intent, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

However, Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

The Desolate Body also began to circulate, lightly bearing the brunt of that aura.

“Whether I am blessed by the heavens or not is unimportant. What matters is that I know the situation of the Taiyi Sect is not good!” Ye Jingcheng said, shaking his head, seemingly unconcerned by Grandmaster Zitian’s killing intent.

“Whether it’s Fellow Daoist Zitian, or even Senior Ziming’s incarnation, I believe we all have a need for cooperation!” Ye Jingcheng added.

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Zitian’s expression finally changed, as if he couldn’t understand how Ye Jingcheng had seen through him.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly.

He became even more certain of his guess.

The person before him was not the real Grandmaster Zitian, but an incarnation of True Monarch Ziming.

No wonder True Person Sanyuan was so perfunctory just now.

After all, his and True Person Miaofa’s arrival was purely for show; they were dismissed with a few words.

The one truly deciding how to deal with the Ye family had always been this incarnation of True Monarch Ziming.

It was just that True Person Miaofa had not noticed.

“The need for cooperation requires equivalent strength. How many people from the Beast Wasteland are hidden within the Medicine King Valley and the Taiyi Sect, and how many within the Heavenly Saber Sect?”

“I don’t know how many people are in the Beast Wasteland. My Ye family doesn’t have many people, we just have the Taihang Mountains to rely on,” Ye Jingcheng directly denied.

Of course, he could not admit to being from the Beast Wasteland, even if the other party believed it to be so.

People from the Beast Wasteland and having a Beast Wasteland inheritance are two different things.

Grandmaster Zitian was clearly dissatisfied with Ye Jingcheng’s answer.

His expression became even colder.

He seemed ready to strike at any moment and capture Ye Jingcheng.

“Relying on the Earth Dragon Demon King? Or the Three-Eyed Demon King? Or the Silver Moon Demon King? Or even the Azure Sky Demon Emperor?”

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng did not answer, but simply looked on.

Having learned the location of the teleportation array in the far west sands and gathered enough combat power.

Ye Jingcheng was not without confidence at this moment.

One must know that a group of Nascent Soul cultivators were not in the Taiyi Sect, but had gone to the Tianma Sea.

As Ye Jingcheng continued to look on, True Monarch Ziming’s incarnation was silent for a while.

Then, he suddenly spoke:

“How would we cooperate?”

“We will ensure that there are no beast tides in the Taihang Mountains, and that when the Heavenly Saber Sect is attacked, there will be one more Nascent Soul combatant to jointly resist the Azure River Sect!” Ye Jingcheng replied upon hearing this.

“What if I say no?” Grandmaster Zitian shook his head.

“Then tens of thousands of Ye family members will perish, and the Taiyi Sect in Yan Country will be swallowed by the beast tide, existing in name only, leading to the unification of Azure River!” Ye Jingcheng clenched his fist, his eyes particularly firm, and also revealed a surge of killing intent.

Although this killing intent was not as strong as that of the True Monarch’s incarnation before him, it was unwavering and left no room for doubt.

These words caused the ‘Grandmaster Zitian’ before him to suddenly reveal his killing intent, pressing down on Ye Jingcheng.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng had to retreat, as he was only in the early stages of the Golden Core realm. Even if he had cultivated the Profound Desolate Overlord Body Secret Scripture, the gap was still too large.

“Hand over the Beast Wasteland, and my Taiyi Sect will have one more Nascent Soul cultivator. Adding my lord’s wife, how could the Azure River Sect be a match?” ‘Grandmaster Zitian’ spoke again, no longer concealing that he was indeed an incarnation of True Monarch Ziming.

And Ye Jingcheng’s confidence grew even stronger.

Such a True Monarch incarnation being willing to discuss this already represented a great deal.

The Taiyi Sect had truly reached a critical juncture.

Although they were trying to use a wolf to drive away a tiger, they had failed to swallow the tiger and instead brought the wolf into the house.

The wolf and the tiger were both eyeing them warily.

“I’ll say it again, we are not the Beast Wasteland!”

“If my Ye family had treasures, wouldn’t we have been investigated long ago? Wouldn’t the Penglai Immortal Sect have come themselves? Moreover, if my Ye family is called up there and there are no treasures, who will they suspect?”

“Secondly, if the name of the Beast Wasteland is forcibly placed on us this time, the Azure River Sect can avoid shouldering the responsibilities of the East Sea, and can even turn around and accuse the Taiyi Sect of colluding with the Beast Wasteland. At that time, they won’t even need to attack the Heavenly Saber Sect first!”

“The Medicine King Valley and the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce are also in the vortex and will definitely not support the Taiyi Sect at this time!” Ye Jingcheng continued to speak eloquently.

And the more he spoke, the smaller the killing intent of True Monarch Ziming’s incarnation became.

All of this was an undeniable fact.

Anyone could see it, even if True Monarch Ziming was unwilling to believe it, it was the truth.

What the Taiyi Sect feared most now was not others, nor the Penglai Immortal Sect, but the Azure River Sect and the Medicine King Valley.

Even if they could unite with the Heavenly Saber Sect, one must know that the Azure River Sect could also unite with the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

This Heavenly Corpse Sect was different from other sects. As long as they fought, they could obtain a constant stream of strong corpses, which was a major resource for their cultivation.

They didn’t even need to make grand promises; they only needed to tell them that this was bullying the weak, and they would go all out.

As these words were spoken, True Monarch Ziming’s incarnation remained silent for a long time.

“Is this the meaning of the Azure Sky Demon Emperor?” True Monarch Ziming spoke again.

“Whose meaning is not important. You only need to know that my Ye family is an appendage of the Taiyi Sect, and is truly of one heart with the Taiyi Sect!”

“And after this vortex ends, my Ye family will continue to delve deeper into the Taihang Mountains, and your Taiyi Sect can claim that this is a false accusation by the Azure River Sect!”

“You can even see if the Azure River Sect has refined a sword array more powerful than the Xuanhe Boundless Sword Array. After all, they have caused such a large beast tide, and the number of demon beasts they have killed is definitely not just one or two!” Ye Jingcheng continued.

“Of course, if Senior Ziming does well, he might even be able to seize the Zhang family’s Spirit Gathering Array, which might add another opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.”

Having said this, Ye Jingcheng no longer spoke.

He had already explained all the pros and cons and had tried as much as possible to attribute his background to the Azure Sky Demon Emperor.

The only pity was that the White-Browed Azure Wolf was not present; otherwise, it would have been even more convincing.

Compared to the Earth Dragon Demon King, the Demon Emperor’s deterrent power was obviously greater!

And it made True Monarch Ziming even more fearful.

After all, the Taiyi Sect was directly facing the beast tide in the Taihang Mountains. If something went wrong, it would truly be a devastating disaster.

After all, the Azure River Sect would not necessarily offer assistance.

They relied on the Azure River and could use the terrain to resist the beast tide, so if a beast tide occurred, the Azure River Sect would destroy the Taiyi Sect first, rather than resist it together.

“Alright, I agree. But if you are overturned by the evidence that follows, don’t blame my Taiyi Sect for being ruthless!” True Monarch Ziming finally relented.

But then he began to add:

“Besides these, I have one more condition, and that is that the Ye family’s power must not exceed Taihang County. In the future, if your Beast Wasteland truly expands to a certain extent, then move east, and the land of the Azure River Sect will be yours to choose from!”

“That’s no problem!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

“But I reiterate once again, my Ye family is not the Beast Wasteland!” Ye Jingcheng knew that the other party was not using a spirit-probing talisman in his formation, so he was not worried at all.

As for not moving east, the Ye family didn’t need to worry about that even more.

The Ye family had never had great ideas about Taichang County, because the Taiyi Sect was in front, so the Ye family could be at ease.

Moreover, Taihang County was truly backed by the Taihang Mountains, and the Ye family’s teleportation arrays in the future would all be placed in the Taihang Mountains.

Only in this way could they develop steadily.

And the Ye family’s main focus next would be on the far west sands.

When the Ye family’s Hidden Peak and Soaring Cloud Peak were completely merged together, and the advancement pills were popularized, the Golden Scale Beast herd, the White-Browed Azure Wolf herd, the Thunder Roc herd, the Three-Eyed Demon Roc herd, and even the Silver Moon Jiaolong herd could cover most of the Ye family’s usable spirit beasts.

Not to say that all the clansmen’s spirit beasts would be cultivated to the third rank, but some with high talent and sufficient beast patterns would definitely have no problem.

“Make a Heavenly Dao oath!” True Monarch Ziming said.

“Remember to include the Demon Emperor in the conditions as well!” After speaking, he added another sentence.

The Heavenly Saber Sect’s crisis was also the closest crisis. This beast tide might be delayed for some time, but it would definitely not be too long.

The Taiyi Sect’s resources had all been given to Immortal Hongling, so it was naturally impossible to have resources to cultivate a new Nascent Soul cultivator in a short period of time!
