Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 448: Chapter 392: Hidden Loose Cultivator, Jingcheng’s Affirmation

The old man’s surroundings thundered, and in an instant, he displayed the might of a Tier Three Purple Mansion Cultivator.

With a swift movement, he wielded his broadsword, slashing at the wings of the Fire-Devouring Sparrow, leaving a massive sword mark and spilling a substantial amount of crimson demonic blood!

This scene instantly shocked many people, their eyes wide open, unsure why the cultivator who had just called them brothers had suddenly transformed into a lofty Purple Mansion Ascendant.

Ye Jingcheng calmly observed the scene; he thought there were definitely many hidden Purple Mansion cultivators, but whether there were hidden Golden Core cultivators was unclear to him.

However, for him, the best outcome was for all of them to be there.

This way, he could witness the Ye family’s predicament.

It’s enough to know that the Ye family could not possibly possess the mysterious magical treasure.

Moreover, the Beast Communication Tower was indeed not with him currently but was within the Turtle Ancestor’s Grotto Heaven.

Though Turtle Ancestor had not gone to the East Sea, as long as it was hiding in the Taihang Mountain Range, no one could threaten it.

Therefore, the more cultivators from other major powers appeared, the better.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that they had means to detect secret treasures.

But not to mention that the Second Ancestor Ye Xuecang had clearly stated that the Beast Communication Tower wouldn’t be affected by external forces.

Even if they had detection means, they wouldn’t be able to track it.

On Cyan Willow Mountain, the exposed Purple Mansion cultivators also caused quite an upheaval.

The loose cultivators were no longer as fragile as before, and faced with the newly exposed Purple Mansion cultivators, they were now making counter-attacks.

There were even two Tier Three Fire-Devouring Sparrow Great Demons that were injured and passed in front of Ye Jingcheng.

But Ye Jingcheng held back, no matter who could kill a Tier Three Great Demon at this moment, he could not.

The Palm Shield was essentially a family heirloom given to him, and the Eternal Green Sword was something he bought, but possessing a plethora of Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifacts was certainly unusual.

Ye Jingcheng calmly watched everything unfold; at this moment, he even felt a noticeable growth in his mental state.

Several decades ago, he might have concealed his emotions on his face, but sometimes, he couldn’t hide the longing in his eyes.

But now, even faced with the Tier Three Fire-Devouring Sparrow useful to the Flame Fox, he remained indifferent.

Letting it fall under the sword of Supreme Taihao, vanishing along with its corpse.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng saw the techniques for Zombie Fire Body Refining of the Celestial Corpse Sect, the Blood Transformation techniques of Blood King Valley, and the Water Separation Technique of the Celestial Water Sect…

The shadows of the Eastern Domain Countries’ cultivators’ secret techniques were now revealed.

Ye Jingcheng was astounded, though he knew there were many forces from other Cultivation Kingdoms, he hadn’t expected so many to be hidden.

There were at least twenty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators, and five Purple Mansion cultivators.

Moreover, it was uncertain if more deeply hidden cultivators were among the loose cultivators; but due to the insufficient number of Demon Beast Great Demons, more hidden loose cultivators couldn’t be revealed.

Ye Jingcheng felt fortunate as his family’s earlier warnings had proved effective.

Otherwise, the Ye family might have fallen into the hands of the Jin and Kong families unknowingly, or even during the Second Ancestor’s breakthrough, Lingyun Peak might have been secretly wiped out.

Of course, the exposed techniques were not what these Purple Mansion cultivators intended to reveal.

It was because there were indeed quite a few Tier Three Great Demons this time, and on the sect’s side, the Kong family had only one Purple Mansion cultivator, Kong Yulong, and the Jin family had only one, Jin Zongliang; Taiyi Sect had four Purple Mansion cultivators, mostly offering protection to the Ye family.

Among several Purple Mansion cultivators, only the Qianhe Ascendant was not from Illusion Peak.

But faced with so many Purple Mansion Great Demons, of course, none would be left alone.

Thus, those hidden cultivators, once targeted by Great Demons, had to go all out; otherwise, their strength might not even get a chance to be displayed before falling.

And there’s no escape.

The matter of cultivation techniques was considered an accidental acquisition; Taiyi Sect could not define them as traitors.

But if they were to flee, Taiyi Sect had thousands of methods to capture them.

Besides the loose cultivators, the most unfortunate at this moment were the cultivators of the Kong family, faced with countless Silver Moon Pythons.

He held three Thunder Spears, sweat lining his forehead.

Three Thunder Spears continuously tossed out, activating terrifying thunder light.

Theoretically, Kong Yulong’s identity as a Thunder Cultivator should restrain those water-attribute Silver Moon Python Great Demons.

But alas, there were too many Silver Moon Python Great Demons.

The situation was perilous, and many Kong family members could not withstand and fell.

At this moment, Kong Yulong felt bitter; he could guarantee that they hadn’t triggered a beast tide.

But the anomaly with the Silver Moon Pythons made him realize someone was avenging against the Kong family.

His eyes flashed with images of the Kong family rivals, finally focusing on the cultivators of the Xu family; in Taichang Commandery, the Kong family had many adversaries, but in Taihang Commandery, the only ones with such motives were the Xu family.

Yet in this moment, even if they wanted to confront them, they couldn’t, because now the Xu family had been wiped from history by his hand.

Still, his disdain was overwhelming.

Because the blame could only be placed on the Kong family and Jin family.

He could only pray the Silver Moon Demon King would be driven off, hoping the beast tide ended soon to retain more power for the Kong family.

But the more worried he was, the more it seemed to occur.

Watching as his clansmen continually became blood food for the pythons.

His eyes were filled with wails of despair, unable to comprehend why Ancestor Gu Xiang appeared in the territory of Lingyun Peak and offended the Silver Moon Demon King.

“Everyone, gather with the Jin family!” Kong Yulong exclaimed.

Though aware that, after losing their Golden Core, the Jin family might become more like demons who eat without leaving bones, at this moment, there was no one but the Jin family who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

…

Ye Jingcheng remained methodical, bringing more artifacts into his hands.

Besides the Eternal Green Sword, he also took out the Palm Shield, along with a number of Tier Two Spirit Talismans.

The Palm Shield was manageable, merely consuming his spiritual energy; each Tier Two Spirit Talisman, however, was worth thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

These were necessary expenditures.

Presently, the Ye family had only three Foundation Establishment cultivators; at such a time, not sacrificing spirit beasts, clan members, or treasures?

Then would such a Ye family still be a fleeing, destitute clan?

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng felt as though the situation was spiraling out of control.

It was as if the beast tide intensified and grew more ferocious, while Taiyi Sect seemed to target those infiltrating loose cultivators.

But regardless of the circumstances, it was not good news for the Ye family.

He could only follow Supreme Taihao more closely; even, he deliberately or unintentionally sent some Tier Two demon beast corpses to Supreme Taihao and Tianzhen Ascendant.

Although the two Purple Mansion cultivators might not care about Tier Two demon beast corpses,

Ye Jingcheng understood every cultivator, regardless of their realm, lacked spirit stones.

Moreover, even though the Ye family’s gains were reducing, even potentially causing losses.

At the very least, it made the Ye family appear more mediocre.

“Roar!”

Currently, the Golden Scale Beast was riddled with wounds, its two palms striking down as a Cloud Fall Star Rock crushed a Red Moon Python.

Its Cloud Fall Star Rock was growing sharper, resembling an alternative Earth Spike.

But the scope of this Cloud Fall Star Rock was broader, its destructive power greater.

The rock spikes pierced into the body of the Red Moon Python.

Ensuring the death of the Silver Moon Python, it constantly gazed at Ye Jingcheng, seemingly confused why Ye Jingcheng wasn’t channeling Treasure Light to it.

Nor understanding why Ye Jingcheng did not release the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Four-Colored Cloud Deer, Golden Falcon; otherwise, they could handle things more easily.

Ye Jingcheng offered a reassuring gaze to the Golden Scale Beast, saying nothing more.

The Treasure Light certainly couldn’t be used now, especially with True Masters nearby, and releasing extra spirit beasts wasn’t feasible.

The combination of the Four-Phase Spirit Beasts with his cultivation techniques and cultivation speed would easily lead to speculation.

Yet, this reassuring gaze was enough to invigorate the Golden Scale Beast, making it charge in and out energetically.

As if Ye Jingcheng had stated the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was inferior to it, instantly dispelling its fatigue.

Beside it, the Flame Fox’s fur had dulled somewhat, its claws beneath which lay a dozen scorched corpses, all fallen to its fireballs.

Breathing heavily, it too had incurred injuries.

Fortunately, it had three tails.

In front of Ye Jingcheng’s two spirit beasts, the Ye family suffered further losses of spirit beasts.

Most of these spirit beasts were Tier One, already lacking in physical strength, but most were melee fighters; amidst this beast tide, they were naturally insignificant and easily perished.

With much of the clansmen’s ferocity dissipating, pessimistic expressions began to emerge.

The continuous rainy season, coupled with the seemingly endless ferocious beast tide.

Indeed, it was enough to suffocate anyone.

At that moment, Master Tianfu in the sky retrieved a compass. The compass flew out, activating once again, miraculously gathering an array around the Cyan Willow Mountain.

The array’s range was wider, with more array banners and array foundations.

And in the distance, more figures started to appear.
