Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Did the Wood Demon Escape?

In the Assembly Hall, the light from the Moonlight Stones was somewhat dazzling, and Ye Jingcheng’s body stood still, his mind replaying Ye Xingliu’s recent words.

After a pause, he finally spoke:

“Third Uncle, is the Wood Demon in the Spirit Medicine Garden?”

The Ye Family had both a Spirit Beast Valley and a Spirit Medicine Garden, but the distance from this Assembly Hall was neither long nor short.

What puzzled Ye Jingcheng was why the Treasure Book already showed the shadow of the tree demon from the spirit tree.

According to past cases, the Treasure Book only reacted upon contact or close proximity.

He had initially thought it was on Ye Xingliu’s body, which was why he mentioned it on the spot.

Now, it seemed not to be the case…

“Yes, at the moment Xing Han is mainly researching!” Ye Xingliu was originally quite certain, but now was a bit puzzled by Ye Jingcheng’s words.

Ye Jingcheng, hearing this, hesitated no longer, his Divine Sense began to surge underground.

Most of the arrays of the Ye Family would cover a layer beneath the earth, and in the past, Ye Jingcheng was not qualified to probe the underground of the Ye Clan Mountain.

Let alone the underground of this Assembly Hall.

But now, having reached Foundation Establishment, just as Ye Xingliu said, he could be a bit more free.

And with his Divine Sense at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment passing through the array, it was naturally quite effortless.

Moreover, this Assembly Hall is one of the least important places in the Ye Family, the array is not considered complex.

Under his sense, the array didn’t change much.

Ye Jingcheng’s face was filled with more confusion, but when he reached twenty zhang deep, suddenly, he discovered a black root, it was somewhat abrupt.

It seemed to be exploring.

As he followed the root to the side, he saw a tree root plunged deep underground, with a shriveled face on the root.

This face was just looking at the ground, almost like directly staring at Ye Jingcheng.

The agile eyes seemed somewhat panicked, yet a bit angry.

Clearly, this Wood Demon used some means to escape from the Spirit Medicine Garden and got lost on Lingyun Peak, accidentally arriving beneath the Assembly Hall.

As they made this eye contact, the spirit root immediately shrank back.

It was just about to escape sideways.

Ye Jingcheng hurriedly took out the Earthquake Talisman.

He stuck it towards the underground.

With this stick, Ye Xingliu also noticed the anomaly and took out a Spirit Talisman.

He slapped it towards the ground.

As the talismanic authority of the Spirit Talisman enveloped the area,

The Wood Demon had no choice but to come towards the surface.

Even though it excelled at Earth Escape, it was merely a subtle magic technique; once the crust shifted, it could still be completely crushed into mud.

In the empty space behind the Assembly Hall, a small tree about a zhang tall grew out from the underground.

At this moment, Ye Xingliu released a Gold Attribute Spirit Circle, enveloping the small tree.

The small tree kept expanding and contracting, even one of its branches pointed out, as if a long sword slashing out.

However, this small tree was only a Tier One tree demon.

It could not escape; moreover, whether against the golden circle or gold attribute spiritual artifacts, it was inherently restrained against wood attribute spirit plants.

Its branches fell upon the golden circle several times, only able to trigger a burst of spiritual light.

The Wood Demon’s eyes dimmed again.

“Jingcheng, this Wood Demon’s methods are treacherous, be careful!” Ye Xingliu, at the moment, if he hadn’t promised Ye Jingcheng, would’ve already killed it for good.

This Spirit Beast clearly had some means, able to traverse the array.

This is the most terrifying thing.

If it heard some information about the Ye Family, it absolutely cannot be let out.

“Third Uncle, leave it to me to handle!” Ye Jingcheng directly took out a new Spirit Beast Bag and placed the Wood Demon inside.

He headed towards his own small courtyard.

Of course, this small courtyard wasn’t the previous one but a new set of small four courtyards.

There were four Beast Rooms and a new three-acre Spirit Field.

At this moment, the Spirit Field had those Black Cloud Flowers transplanted onto it, and because they bloom once every three years, they were still not in bloom.

The Poison Thorn Flowers and Purple Illusion Flowers, however, had matured and been harvested, only waiting for spring to replant.

And with the current spiritual energy situation here, this year’s effect would definitely be better than previous years.

In the Spirit Field, several tea trees were also transplanted over, even the bamboos were placed next to the Spirit Field, showing the family’s earnest completion of his matters.

Ye Jingcheng, at this moment, didn’t have time to look at those Spirit Fields, nor did he have time to look at the hive of five poison bees, he landed in the courtyard, activated the array, and then released the Wood Demon.

The Wood Demon, once again released, had a Spirit Talisman attached to its surface.

This Spirit Talisman was also a Sealing Talisman.

Ye Jingcheng casually dug a pit in the courtyard, planting the Wood Demon body inside.

“You’re smart, surrender or die!” Ye Jingcheng spoke not a single word more.

Such a Wood Demon did not belong to juvenile or newborn Spirit Beasts.

But for Ye Jingcheng, it was a first time, and might even enhance his cultivation speed for the Wood Phase.

So he paid it particular attention.

Of course, he was also curious about the peaches that the Wood Demon bore.

In the current situation of the Wood Demon, Ye Jingcheng felt that even opening a flower might be difficult for it.

Bare, with hardly any branches at all.

Yet the shriveled yellow face nodded.

Only Ye Jingcheng still felt the Wood Demon was not subdued, seemingly not worried about being bound by a Blood Contract.

Instead, it was worried Ye Jingcheng might end it with a sword.

It seemed like a tree that was greedy for life and feared death!

This was what Ye Jingcheng thought in his mind.

Only this fell into his trap quite nicely. Behave, once the Blood Contract was finalized and the Soul Contract was completed, it would be beyond the Wood Demon’s control.

The dominance of the Soul Contract meant that even its thoughts and ideas would be clear.

If it would try any tricks, Ye Jingcheng would know immediately.

Besides, he was also curious about how the Wood Demon escaped from the array.

After all, the Spirit Medicine Garden’s array was much stronger than the Assembly Hall’s. Generally, even a Tier Two Earth Attribute Demon Beast may not escape.

Ye Jingcheng began weaving finger formulas in his hand, forming a series of mysterious blood runes.

Initially, the Wood Demon looked at the runes with some concern, but soon revealed a trace of disdain.

Clearly, in its view, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t be able to forcibly contract it.

Ye Jingcheng was also happy with this; if the Wood Demon had resisted a couple of times, perhaps he would’ve been troubled for a while.

With the Blood Contract Runes fully formed, Ye Jingcheng drew out a drop of Essence Blood, let it drip into it, and then flew towards the Wood Demon body.

Quickly entering into its body, and simultaneously, a subtle spiritual aura surged within Ye Jingcheng, flowing into the Wood Demon.

Simultaneously, inside Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Book, a formula for Spirit Nurturing Liquid began to appear.

And Ye Jingcheng now had a thread of connection with the Wood Demon.

The Soul Contract was completed.

The Wood Demon, at this moment, began to panic, started to struggle violently, even its branches began to tremble, akin to sword resonance.

Ye Jingcheng also tore off the Cyan Cloud Ring and a Sealing Talisman.

The Wood Demon immediately attempted to flee.

However, through the Soul Contract, Ye Jingcheng merely had to think, and the Wood Demon started shaking uncontrollably, its roots began to whip around, appearing extremely painful.

It quickly returned to its original place, its shriveled face showing dim eyes, its arrogant demeanor completely vanished.
