Lingyun Peak, Assembly Hall.
Ye Jingyun, Ye Xingqun, and Ye Jingli were present, and the three were extrely solemn at this mont.
In front of them stood two middle-aged cultivators.
However, they kept their heads very low and didn’t dare look at the three of them.
"Jingsheng, Qinglin, speak up, when did both of you arrive on the mountain?" Ye Jingyun said, his tone extrely calm.
Among these two, Jingsheng was responsible for escorting the caravans of Lingyun Peak and Taihang Market, while Qinglin was a gifted Artifact Refiner in the Ye Family.
Although neither had the Beast Communication Pattern at the Ye Family’s Lingyun Peak, they were still quite valued.
However, they were naturally angry about the private communication with Ye Qingwen and Ye Jingting by the two.
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Liu, Uncle Xingqun, I believe there’s nothing wrong. The clan clearly has a big secret, so why not make it public? Why must we be the ones guarding Lingyun Peak?" Ye Qinglin naturally understood what Ye Jingyun was implying.
But he considered himself not inferior in cultivation and effort since arriving at Lingyun Peak. Now in his early fifties, he was already at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, with ten more years to hit Foundation Establishnt.
But he had heard all the rumors about the Beast Desolate Wasteland outside. At first, he didn’t believe them, but recently many seclusion chambers on Lingyun Peak were empty. He realized that those left on Lingyun Peak and Taihang and Taichang Markets were all abandoned.
However, he didn’t dare oppose the clan elders, so he first consulted Ye Jingsheng, who had already reached Foundation Establishnt. Finally, the two briefly ntioned it to Ye Qingwen, who reacted violently and left on the spot.
"Jingsheng, what about you? When did you co to the mountain?" Ye Jingyun did not answer Ye Qinglin but looked at Ye Jingsheng instead.
This question made both of them suddenly uneasy.
"Over seventy years ago!" The words of Ye Jingsheng, who was about to speak, suddenly changed.
He was now eighty, about the sa age as Ye Jingting and Ye Jing Hu when they ca to the mountain.
"You’re a Three Spirit Roots, aren’t you, and lower grade at that!" Ye Jingyun opened his mouth again.
"Right!" Ye Jingsheng nodded.
But just by saying this, Ye Jingsheng’s body suddenly shuddered.
He suddenly realized that an ordinary Three Spirit Roots cultivator has no exceptional talent in Cultivation, and a lower grade Spirit Root of just about a foot might not be much different from Four Spirit Roots.
But with the Ye Family’s support, breaking through the Foundation Establishnt was already a massive blessing.
In another family, he wouldn’t have the chance for Foundation Establishnt at all. Even if there was a Foundation Establishnt Pill, it wouldn’t be his turn. Had it not been for the clan’s mystery, would he have had the chance for Foundation Establishnt?
Thinking about it, he could not utter a single word.
"Brother Jiu, we were wrong. I’m willing to fight to the last mont at Lingyun Peak!"
Ye Jingyun heard this and did not speak, but looked at Ye Xingqun. After Ye Xingqun nodded, he too nodded, and Ye Xingqun secretly used the Spirit Inquiry Talisman.
"Then you may leave. I will discuss separately with Qinglin!" Ye Jingyun waved his hand, letting Ye Jingsheng leave the hall.
Only Ye Qinglin still looked sowhat confused at this mont.
Yet unbeknownst to him, Ye Xingqun had already walked behind him.
...
A mont later, the hall returned to calmness again. Ye Xingqun and Ye Jingli both looked at Ye Jingyun.
At this mont, they also felt extrely troubled. After all, clan cultivators must go out to do business, and if others acted similarly, it would be troubleso for the Ye Family.
"Reopen clan studies, teach the history of Lingyun Peak, and deepen the sense of clan honor. At the sa ti, at the end of the clan studies, everyone shall make a Heavenly Dao Oath and undergo the Upper Soul Ban. Additionally, the clan’s new regulations can be issued. The clan allowance is now quite substantial, just in ti for its implentation, leaving them with nothing to say, and also ferret out any scout cultivators if there are any!"
"According to the new clan regulations, additional Spirit Pill benefits for clan mbers at Lingyun Peak can also be applied, while also being arranged. This won’t completely solve the problem, but at least there won’t be any major oversights!"
"By the way, Brother Liu, remind all clan mbers with a Beast Communication Pattern at Lingyun Peak to be cautious, to prevent Zhang Family from not being exposed and us Ye Family being exposed instead!" Ye Jingyun said fiercely.
"Additionally, do not let your guard down about Jingsheng. When the clan needs miners, let him go train for several decades!" Ye Jingyun continued.
So errors he wouldn’t hold accountable now don’t an they won’t be accounted for forever.
And mining day and night in the Spiritual Ore, although arduous, also tempers the heart. If he performs well, he can naturally make up for his mistakes and return. If not, he will continue to contribute to the Ye Family.
"Uncle Xingqun, there’s another matter: the clan wants us to approach the Tian Dao Sect..."
"Approaching the Tian Dao Sect is quite difficult, but we can first engage with the Mad Saber Xiao Family under the Tian Dao Sect. They likely need potent magical artifact spiritual sabers; we can sell so to them cheaply!" Ye Xingqun replied after a mont of silence.
As the Ye Family’s current figurehead, he naturally had in-depth knowledge of the various forces in the Yan Kingdom.
The Tian Dao Sect borders the Qinghe Sect and Celestial Arrival Commandery, and within Celestial Arrival Commandery, the Xiao Family is a famous Purple Mansion Clan, neither too big nor too small of a target.
Their family is also skilled in sword techniques. There are even external rumors suspecting that this Xiao Family is supported by the Tian Dao Sect.
"Years ago, I had a chance encounter with the Xiao Family’s Patriarch, Xiao Shao’an," Ye Xingqun couldn’t help but say.
Ye Jingyun nodded and then looked at Ye Jingli.
His biggest concern still was Ye Jingli’s inner struggle.
"Brother Liu..."
