Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Tianpeng Mountain Range, Tianyuan Valley entrance.

The array surged, and several great demons led a large number of demon beasts, surging forth.

These demon beasts were mainly composed of Tier 3 Red-faced Eagles, supplemented by a large number of demon birds, creating an unparalleled momentum that blotted out the sky.

Above the array, streams of light continuously emerged.

Ye Jingzhong roared:

“Collect the demon-attracting grass; before Uncle Ancestor Xueliang returns, we can't attract any more!”

After saying that, he finally looked at the spirit beast pouch on his waist.

With so many Tier 3 great demons, if they relied solely on their remaining Tier 3 demon beast combat power, they could certainly block them and even kill them, but they wouldn't kill many.

This did not align with the Ye family's goal of capturing beast souls.

However, if he used the Soul-Extinguishing Insects he had cultivated for nearly forty years, he would have much more confidence.

It was just that the number of Soul-Extinguishing Insects would likely suffer significant losses.

“Let them break the array, and then all the great demons can take a Bloodrage Pill to enhance their strength!” Ye Jingzhong instructed again.

Ye Xueliang had left, and they only had two Violet Palace cultivators left, him and Ye Jingchu. Although they still had a considerable number of Tier 3 spirit beasts, the current Red-faced Eagles were not weak either.

Moreover, Ye Jingchu had only recently broken through to the Violet Palace realm and had not yet refined many magic treasures, so he could only control the array.

As expected, with a series of crimson claws, the array shattered with a bang.

The leading mammoth great demon immediately charged forward. At the same time, Ye Jingchu also controlled the array, creating countless Tier 3 vines to bind the Red-faced Eagles.

The dense vines were the Azure Flood Dragon Vines that Ye Jingcheng had once used, capable of binding ordinary Violet Palace great demons without any problem.

Several Red-faced Eagle great demons were also unable to dodge because they were too close.

Once the Red-faced Eagles were trapped, the mammoth great demon charged forward. With a golden and intense collision, several Red-faced Eagle great demons were directly seriously injured.

Countless spirit talismans and magic treasures followed one after another. At the same time, the Three-Eyed Demon Peng and Thunder Peng also unleashed secret techniques from afar.

For a time, various spells surged, booming and exploding, with mournful beast roars.

These great demons were indeed physically strong, but even with their strength, they were seriously injured by the time they broke out of the sea of spiritual light.

Moreover, they faced a dense swarm of Golden Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

These Soul-Extinguishing Locusts had also been cultivated by Ye Jingzhong for many years and could be said to be invulnerable and extremely powerful.

However, after all, they were only Tier 2 at most, which was much more ordinary compared to the Soul-Devouring Insects.

After the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts were used as cannon fodder, consuming most of the Red-faced Eagles' combat power, the dense swarm of Soul-Devouring Insects blotted out the sky, falling like a sea of insects.

Unlike the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, which had no formation, these Soul-Devouring Insects sometimes transformed into sharp swords, sometimes into shields, and sometimes into various beast shadows.

The insect formation constantly changed, and under the leadership of the three Soul-Devouring Insect great demons, they completely submerged the remaining three Red-faced Eagles.

Accompanied by hissing sounds, countless Soul-Devouring Insect corpses fell, but then, with three shrill cries, the three Red-faced Eagles finally perished, and their beast souls were drawn into the soul banner in the valley.

“Nineteen Tier 3 great demons!” Ye Jingzhong collected the remaining demon beast corpses and couldn't help but exhale a long breath.

Although nineteen great demons were nothing, at least it could be considered a contribution to the family's beast souls.

Most importantly, the loss of Soul-Devouring Insects was still within his expectations.

At that moment, Turtle Ancestor and Ye Qingnian finally escaped into the valley.

Seeing that there were only two people, Ye Jingzhong's heart suddenly clenched.

“Qingnian, Turtle Ancestor…”

“High Ancestor and Feng'er are behind us; I hope Uncle Jingzhong can provide some cover!” Ye Qingnian said worriedly.

He knew that Ye Xueliang had deliberately slowed down a few beats so that he and Turtle Ancestor could leave first.

The two had been paying attention to the movements behind them and breathed a sigh of relief after noticing no signs of fighting or spiritual light fluctuations.

After waiting another half an hour, they saw Ye Qingfeng and Ye Xueliang, as well as a Golden Lizard great demon, walk out.

“Jingzhong, from now on, don't use the demon-attracting grass anymore; use more snake-attracting pills or hunt some beasts,” Ye Xueliang began to instruct without waiting for Ye Jingzhong to speak.

Although Ye Jingzhong and the other Ye family members didn't understand, they didn't say much and started to do as they were told.

They also knew that something must have happened in this Tianyuan Mountain Chasm.

“Recall the cultivators exploring the area as well; just find out which great demons and demon kings have lairs. There will be many opportunities to capture beast souls in the future!” Ye Xueliang continued to instruct.

At this moment, his heart was no longer on these demon beasts but on Ye Qingfeng and that Bald Phoenix.

The Bald Phoenix's position in the center of the mountain range was definitely not low.

According to the situation in the East Sea, there were probably many Demon Saints in the center of this mountain range. If Ye Qingfeng could befriend the forces behind this phoenix bird,

The Ye family would at least not have to worry about the terrifying beast tide facing the Sand Sea in the future.

The reason why the Ye family had divided into so many affiliated families was actually to clear the fields and let these affiliated families act as a buffer, fearing that the beast tide would affect them.

But if they could get closer, they wouldn't have to worry so much.

On his way back from the mountain chasm, he hadn't been intercepted by a Demon Emperor, not even a Demon King. There were only a few great demons, but they were driven away by the Golden Lizard and Rhinoceros Deer Demon Kings.

This showed that giving the phoenix bird spirit pills was the right thing to do.

In the coming days, if he wasn't mistaken, no Demon Kings would come to attack.

There would only be great demons, and what they had to do was to instruct Ye Qingyan in Taichang Workshop City to refine more Tier 3 spirit pills, especially fire-attribute spirit pills, to ensure that the phoenix bird could not leave Ye Qingfeng completely.

Of course, before that, the Ye family had to kill fewer flying spirit beasts.

Ye Xueliang was also worried that it would displease the phoenix bird.

As various tasks were carried out in an orderly manner, the Ye family's pressure lessened a lot. Without the demon-attracting grass, the family's casualties also decreased.

However, demon beasts were still being slowly killed.

At the same time, the family members responsible for exploration also quickly returned.

Among them, several spirit beasts that had been engraved with spirit talismans by Ye Yunxuan had made no small contribution in the exploration mission.

Ye Xueliang looked at the jade slip, saw the new map inside, and the distribution of many rare spirit herbs, and immediately nodded.

Overall, it was still developing in the direction the Ye family had expected.

As the Ye family members withdrew, many affiliated families also smelled an unusual aura.

This made the beast tide action seem like a lot of thunder but little rain.

Of course, at this time, the Ye family's goal had already changed.

…

Central Region, Shahuang Mountain.

Inside a great hall, Ye Haiyan poured a cup of Mind-Clearing Tea and took a shallow sip.

Then, he took out a jade slip and couldn't help but look at it.

Now that he had broken through to the mid-stage of the Violet Palace realm, cultivation was no longer very effective for him, so he was wholeheartedly studying formations.

Although the Ye family valued spirit beasts and pill arts, the most stable aspect was still the Ye family's formation skills.

This was another fundamental condition for the Ye family's stable development over the years.

He was studying composite formations, and this jade slip was also obtained by the Ye family in the Zhenhuang Secret Realm.

After reading for a while, Ye Haiyan found that he couldn't calm down no matter what.

He had already drunk Mind-Clearing Tea, so he shouldn't be like this today.

“Could it be that something has happened to Xiaoshan Workshop City?” Ye Haiyan couldn't help but be stunned.

Cultivators greatly believed in their intuition, and he now felt that there might be a problem with the family.

But then he shook his head. Xiaoshan Workshop City was the asset of the Righteous Path sect, so naturally, there would be no problem.

Thinking of this, he also remembered the Ye family's actions in the East Sea and Sand Sea.

He felt even more uneasy in his heart. He took out the family token and inquired for a while, but no one responded.

He walked out of the courtyard and wandered around Shahuang Mountain.

After so many years of development, the core cultivators of Shahuang Mountain had all been replaced by Ye family members. The arrangement and planning of each spiritual mountain were also extremely Taoist, with clouds and mist curling around the mountaintop.

A thin river hung upside down on the mountainside, with the sound of water rushing.

At the foot of the mountain were the residences and courtyards of various cultivators.

Everything was peaceful and beautiful, but it was this beauty that made Ye Haiyan even more panicked.

The Mind-Clearing Tea in his mind suddenly reminded him of the scene of the Ye family attacking Jiayuan Prefecture.

For a moment, he woke up as if from a dream.

Back then, the Ye family destroyed two forces in Jiayuan Prefecture and even killed the Golden Core Ghost Fury True Person of the Ghost Xuan Sect.

The demonic cultivator forces in Jiayuan Prefecture had not retaliated for more than thirty years.

Thinking of this, Ye Haiyan's heart became even more worried. Before, Ye Jingcheng had always thought that the Ghost Xuan Sect was preparing for the Earth Immortal Realm, but now that he thought about it, the other party didn't necessarily have to wait until the end of the Earth Immortal Realm to take action.

The other party was a demonic cultivator, not a righteous path cultivator from Xiaoshan Prefecture.

It wouldn't be strange for them to take action at any time.

Moreover, now was the best time to take action, after all, Palace Lord Xiao and Palace Lord Wang were not here.

If he thought further about the Ye family's plan to open a temporary workshop city, this would naturally make the demonic cultivators in Jiayuan Prefecture even more afraid, and the other party would have even more reason to take action.

Moreover, because of the temporary workshop city, the Ye family's core strength was still in this Shahuang Mountain.

This was a fatal flaw.

Ye Haiyan was different from the other young cultivators of the Ye family. He had seen the weakest period of the Ye family and had been tempered in Hidden Peak for too long.

He was not afraid of guessing wrong, he was only afraid that he would not be able to cope at that time and ruin the family's plan.

He walked into the council hall, and Ye Jingnan was still discussing the layout of the temporary workshop city.

“Jingnan, stop that matter for a moment. Arrange for some family members to replace the cultivators transporting spirit rice and go to Xiaoshan Workshop City,” Ye Haiyan dismissed the others, leaving Ye Jingnan alone.

“Uncle Grandpa Haiyan, this…”

“Never mind, haven't you noticed that we now have a biggest flaw? Shahuang Mountain has no Golden Core combat power, and even the Soulfall Forbidden Land in the Sand Sea has no Golden Core combat power. We can die, but the teleportation array cannot be lost,” Ye Haiyan said.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if the Ye family lost the teleportation array, and he would never allow it.

“Wouldn't this be a bit risky…” Ye Jingnan understood what Ye Haiyan meant. The teleportation array was not safe in Shahuang Mountain. Only in Xiaoshan Workshop City was it safe, but the road to Xiaoshan Workshop City was equally dangerous in his opinion.

“Staying here is the risk. I can't leave. Leave a separated soul clone here. Don't bring core family members. Let the core family members gather and wait for me, and replace them in the second batch!”

“Also, if you are exposed, use the formation to detonate the teleportation array and blow it up! I have already left a copy of the node information of the space jade,” Ye Haiyan said.

Seeing Ye Haiyan so cautious, Ye Jingnan nodded repeatedly and no longer doubted.
