Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Spirit Beast Valley
On the Li Family’s Spiritual Ship, a black-faced elder took the lead, along with a dozen Li Family Members.
The black-faced elder was extremely angry at the moment, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Ye Jingcheng had seen a few of the Li Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators. This particular Foundation Establishment cultivator was the old patriarch of the Li Family, and also the Supreme Elder of the Li Family, Li Yulan, who was in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Where is Ye Haicheng?"
"Uncle is in seclusion. Li Daoist hasn’t answered, but now you’re here. Are you intending to break the rules of the Taiyi Sect?" Ye Xingliu refused to back down, standing at the forefront of the Ye Family’s Spiritual Ship.
"Today, Li has come to demand an explanation!"
"What explanation? The entrapment matter of Jade Dragon Valley?" Ye Xingliu saw Li Yulan’s momentum growing stronger, so he also raised his voice, glaring at the other party!
The array of Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak also began to activate. Instantly, countless clouds and mist emerged, forming a vast misty sea on Lingyun Peak of Ye Family.
Within the misty sea, fog beasts continually appeared.
These fog beasts were increasingly massive and grotesque.
And this was precisely the Ye Family’s Mist Sea Thousand Beast Array!
"The matter of Jade Dragon Valley has already passed, with hidden truths inside. The Taiyi Sect has already adjudicated, the old man does not care, but my Li Family’s Li Mugu was completely annihilated three days ago. My Li Family will never rest over this matter!" Li Yulan’s eyes were fiercely enraged.
Spiritual light flickered brilliantly, as if releasing the cultivation of the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even though Ye Xingliu was in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, at this moment, relying on the array, he showed no fear.
"What does Li Daoist mean by this, is it that the annihilation of Li Mugu requires accusing my Ye Family? Does it mean that every Qi Cultivation Clan in this world has to blame my Ye Family when they fall?"
"Or is it that the Li Family believes my Ye Family harbors many Foundation Establishments?"
"Want to test the might of Ye Family’s Clan Protection Array?" Ye Xingliu was completely unafraid, and under the array’s deployment, a fog beast even merged with Ye Xingliu.
Beastly might increased further!
Li Yulan did not speak but stared intently at the rest of the cultivators on the Spiritual Ship.
The first to be scrutinized were Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli.
Their ages were the youngest, yet Ye Jingcheng appeared exceptionally calm.
While Ye Jingli was exceedingly furious.
The latter was still furious over the recent coercion by several major families that led to the death of Turtle Ancestor, and now they rushed to the mountain gate, already eager to release the Cyan-Scaled Python with a wish to join the battle.
The others were less revealing.
"You go in first!" Ye Haiyi gestured towards Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli.
They all nodded, as they were indeed unsuitable to stay. Those old and devious ones of the Li Family, viciously cunning, if watched for too long, could indeed slip up.
Though Ye Family disavows involvement, Li Family lacks evidence, but if reported to the Taiyi Sect, they might send people to investigate.
This naturally wouldn’t be good news for Ye Family.
The group maneuvered their magical artifacts, descending towards the inside of Lingyun Peak, leaving only a few from the Xing Generation.
Truth be told, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but admire his family’s elders’ arrangements.
Submitting all the Longquan Stones, and if his guess wasn’t wrong, those who left with the storage bag ahead of time, included Five-Colored Poisonous Lizard.
So no matter how formidable the Li Family’s presence was, there wouldn’t be any evidence left.
"Hold on!" Li Yulan spoke again.
"Li Yulan, do you truly believe my Ye Family dares not kill you?" Ye Xingliu’s gaze was terrifying to the extreme, and from the array also emerged a Jade-eyed Hanging Eye Tiger.
Moreover, in the distance, a Red Eagle soared away.
Li Yulan appeared unfazed by Ye Xingliu’s stern words.
His expression even relaxed somewhat.
"Junior, even if you have reached Foundation Establishment, you must respect your elders. Had Ye Haicheng been present, I might indeed have taken action to discipline you. Today, the old man is here to discuss the matter concerning the Tribulation Cultivator. Today, the Tribulation Cultivator could pillage my Li Mugu, and tomorrow could pillage your Lingyun Peak!"
"Not suspecting Ye Family directly; if truly suspicious, there would already be open conflict!"
"So, Ye Family better pay attention too, and if encountering mass sales of Longquan Stones and Longquan Stone Artifacts, I hope you’ll inform us!" Li Yulan came quickly and departed swiftly as well.
"This type of Tribulation Cultivator can already slay Foundation Establishments!"
The anticipated coercion did not continue, the Li Family’s Spirit Ship came quickly and went just as quickly!
Having finally exhaled a breath, some cultivators of Ye Family relaxed.
"Return home, do not move around for the next few days!"
"Moreover, prepare yourselves. Shortly at Chen time, Jingteng’s senior brother will arrive, and at that time our Ye Family must entertain him well!" Ye Xingliu instructed.
Between his words, even regret seemed to fall.
This scene rendered Ye Jingcheng somewhat stunned.
This meant that if Li Yulan truly acted, regardless of whether the Li Family was expunged, Li Yulan would definitely not be able to leave Lingyun Peak.
After all, without evidence, a provocative visit, in the Cultivation Realm, could be killed, and the matter settled.
It wasn’t with good intentions that Li Yulan came here.
Firstly testing the cultivation of Ye Haicheng upon arrival, though no response was given.
Secondly, testing whether Ye Family had visited Li Mugu.
Failing in both aspects, there followed an overt and covert warning to Ye Family not to sell Longquan Stones.
As long as they are not sold, they can’t be exchanged for other cultivation resources.
Naturally, this attempt is in vain.
When Ye Jingteng arrives, Ye Jingcheng senses some other implications.
His elder brother was already Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer a year ago, and nowadays Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer must be near. In the Taiyi Sect, Foundation Establishment Pills are abundant, and for the sect’s disciples, as long as the Contribution Points are sufficient, they can exchange them.
Ye Jingteng also needs to accumulate Taiyi Sect’s Contribution Points now.
Thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng ceased contemplating, and went to the family Treasure Tower to find Ye Haiping to obtain Spirit Beast Eggs.
The tempests and plans of the family, at this moment, are beyond his muddled concern. What matters most now is to hatch them early, elevate cultivation early, and upon reaching Foundation Establishment, to not be limited by the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.
Without pause, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the family’s Treasure Tower. The Treasure Tower wasn’t open yet, so Ye Jingcheng waited another half-hour. As Chen time arrived, the Treasure Tower’s doors opened.
Ye Haiping dressed in long robes, unhurriedly.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng return, he was somewhat surprised.
"Did you exchange for those Spirit Beast Eggs?"
"Eighth Grandfather is prescient!" Ye Jingcheng offered a compliment.
"Follow me, the Spirit Beast Eggs aren’t here!" Ye Haiping turned, closing the freshly opened Treasure Tower, leading Ye Jingcheng higher up Lingyun Peak.
Ye Jingcheng wasn’t surprised, having visited the Treasure Tower many times; his Treasure Book showed no activity.
Surely there are no Spirit Beast Cubs or Spirit Eggs.
Passing the Treasure Tower, higher up was the Ancestral Hall, and upon reaching, a few Ye Family Members emerged. But upon sighting Ye Haiping, and a gesture of his hand.
They returned inside.
Ye Jingcheng felt a sense of anticipation.
He had never ventured behind the Ancestral Hall before.
Beyond the Ancestral Hall, snow began to appear.
Lingyun Peak stood exceedingly tall, keeping snow year-round.
About this fact, Ye Jingcheng had anticipated!
Only when passing a gorge, the fragrance of birds and flowers surfaced again, resembling a utopia.
"This here is the family’s Spirit Beast Valley!" Ye Haiping introduced.
