CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: THE TURTLE ANCESTOR’S DEMISE?

After sending the message, Ye Jingcheng also released the huge Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast, starting his patrol in a flurry.

He was still patrolling alone, waiting for Ye Xingliu to transmit a message to him or send him a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Even though many loose cultivators were being slain by the Ye Family cultivators in the distance, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t in a rush at the moment.

The Red Flame Fox kept spitting a fireball, blasting it onto each hill, while the Jade Ring Rat kept flapping its ears.

Ensuring no cultivators were hiding in secret!

Such an extensive search was indeed a grand spectacle.

However, most of the clan members were still watching Lingyun Peak.

Ye Jingcheng was the same, slightly anxious as he waited, contemplating if his actions were a bit rash.

But now the Beast Communication Pattern was engraved on his body, even with the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast, the family did not overly obstruct him, and Ye Haiyun even privately instructed him.

Whenever he performed Alchemy, the main door was open; these were all acts of kindness.

Ye Jingcheng must remember!

Therefore, he quickly tossed those thoughts aside, but still couldn’t help worrying about the scene atop Lingyun Peak!

The Clan Protection Array was still shaking continuously.

It seemed that the Turtle Ancestor’s madness was getting more intense.

Ye Jingcheng was still waiting, but at this moment, in the distance, suddenly appeared a gigantic Spiritual Ship.

A huge "Xu" character on the Spiritual Ship fluttered in the wind, approaching Lingyun Peak slowly.

This Spiritual Ship had three entire layers and eight mast cloud sails, full of imposing momentum!

It was several grades larger than Ye Xingliu’s Spiritual Ship.

And on the Spiritual Ship, there were silhouettes of many cultivators.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng’s face darkened; he knew that cultivators who kick others when they’re down had arrived!

Worst of all, leading them was the Tai Cang Xu Clan, a Purple Mansion Clan!

This scene not only caught the eyes of Ye Jingcheng but also Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingteng.

From atop the mountain came a figure, stepping on a Flying Sword, blocking the front of the Spiritual Ship.

"Xu Daoist, what is the meaning of this?" Ye Xingliu spoke with anger, his robe fluttering with the wind, his long sword still stained with blood, almost pointing directly at Xu Wenchang, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xu Family!

"Ye Daoist, you’ve misunderstood. These days are for training the younger generation of the Xu Family; this time, coincidentally, the Buqing Li Clan, Xianyun Chu Clan, and Shanyue Chen Clan also wanted to join in, so we thought to ask if the Ye Family would like to join as well?"

"But we didn’t expect to see such stunning Blood Qi from so far away. Has any of the demon beasts gone mad?"

"Just a friendly advice to the Patriarch Ye, such demon beasts cannot be retained as they are expressly forbidden by the Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

"If you’re at a loss, our Xu Family can help!" Xu Wenchang said uprightly.

He was full of righteousness and even mentioned the name of the Taiyi Sect, making Ye Xingliu’s expression turn darker.

In the territory of the Taiyi Sect, demon cultivators and blood cultivators are both to be eradicated by decree. This time the Turtle Ancestor was afflicted by a Demon Gu, emitting Blood Demon Qi.

Ye Xingliu could not refute at the moment because Xu Wenchang had a Spirit Disc in his hand.

Ye Xingliu did not respond, instead glaring at Li Mutian and the Li Family Patriarch, Li Muhe.

"It was you who tampered with the Blood Heart Pill, wasn’t it!" Ye Xingliu’s eyes shot out a murderous aura.

In the Cultivation Realm, to point a Magical Artifact is taboo, not to mention a blood-stained sword tip.

"Ye Xingliu, stop with the false accusations. The Blood Heart Pill was sold by the Hua Yu Sect, with the auction hosted by the Xu Family, all four major families had auctioneers, who are you trying to slander?" Li Muhe’s expression also shifted, furious, and he too held a Tier Two Magical Sword.

Immediately tensions rose, Ye Xingliu, though alone, did not diminish in momentum!

The Chu Family Patriarch, Chu Xiyu, came out to mediate this moment:

"Patriarch Ye, are you certain it’s a problem with the elixir? Could it not be the Spirit Beast itself acting up, bloodthirsty and going mad?"

"After all, that Spirit Pill was from the Hua Yu Sect, though not under Taiyi Immortal Sect as we are, they have no reason to sell maliciously, moreover, all four families checked, the Xu Family checked too!"

Reality changed the atmosphere of Xu Wenchang as the discussion now pertained to a trademark issue.

If Ye Xingliu spoke again, it would also be a slap in the face of the Xu Family.

Critically, it was currently only Ye Xingliu’s claim.

"Ye Daoist, if you want us to go in and help, the demon hunting and the younger generation’s competitions, there’s no rush now!"

"No need for help, the Ye Family will handle it!" Ye Xingliu gritted his teeth and spoke.

With the Ye Family speaking once more, the magical combat fluctuations on the mountain peak reached their peak, and the Clan Protection Array gathered strength for a strike, blasting towards the top of Lingyun Peak.

All cultivators knew that today, the Ye Family was destined to lose a late-stage Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast.

With the Demon Gu manifesting, it would only become increasingly terrifying, unless the Ye Family had a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, it would be difficult to suppress; using the Clan Protection Array and considerable Foundation Establishment combat power to trap and kill was the only option.

The presence of families like the Xu Clan here was equivalent to supervision; with their strength, if the Ye Family didn’t act, they would naturally do so.

Moreover, they could explore Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak and gain insight into Ye Family’s true resources.

Countless Ice Soul Arrows flew, accompanied by tiger roars, lizard screeches, and eagle cries, emanating from Lingyun Peak, that even the Clan Protection Array couldn’t fully conceal!

Furthermore, based on the magical combat fluctuations, the other three families could easily deduce the Ye Family’s current combat power.

The watching Ye Family members below felt pained, knowing losing a Foundation Establishment combat power would lessen Ye Family’s influence in the market and affect their reputation.

The development of a family, like a cultivator, ultimately relies on wealth, partners, skills, and land.

After a while, the disturbance on Lingyun Peak subsided, and the next moment, a figure in a green robe soared out, none other than Ye Haicheng, revealing his cultivation fully, at the peak of the Middle-stage Foundation Establishment.

Yet his eyes showed fatigue, and in his hand, he held a blood-colored Inner Core.

At this moment, the Blood Disc in Xu Family’s possession radiated blinding light, a giant blood glow stimulating.

Evidently, the Demon Beast Inner Core had Demon Gu venom.

"The gifts sent by your families today, the Earth turns and so do the fortunes; the Ye Family will repay someday!"

"Furthermore, let me inform you that Jingteng has now become an apprentice to Supreme Taihao, and the Ye Family will return the courtesy to you all in the future!"

"For today, I won’t see you off; I hope wherever you came from, you can return to!"

With those words, Ye Haicheng fell silent, and the magical combat fluctuations at the top of the mountain also reached their peak; the Clan Protection Array continued to convulse as the cultivators realized a Foundation Establishment late-stage Spirit Beast was destined to be lost that day.

The appearance of the Xu Family and other families was essentially overseeing the battle, and with their power, if they wanted to uncover the true strength of the Ye Family at Lingyun Peak, it would take more effort now.

With all the large Spiritual Ships departing, Ye Haicheng also landed atop Lingyun Peak and declared loudly with anger, "Today, everyone must remember that the future of the Ye Family will repay this a hundredfold!"

Ye Haicheng spoke loudly, he spoke with anger, indicating the resentment boiling within him.

His hand clenched a Sound Transmission Talisman, indicating that Ye Xingliu was aware, yet there had been no response.
