Earth Dragon Valley, with the ergence of the beast tide, the entire vast valley at this mont surprisingly seed sowhat desolate.
Only the stirred dust revealed that the entire Taihang Mountain Range was not peaceful at this ti.
At the center of Earth Dragon Valley, a shadow suddenly appeared, seeming sowhat hesitant and fearful.
His na is Lin Qingxuan, at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, tasked with the command to intercept and kill the escaping mbers of the Ye Family.
But before he could intercept, the beast tide exploded.
And as a Golden Core cultivator, naturally, he couldn’t outrun the Demon Emperor, so he concealed himself underground. Once the Demon Emperor left, he fled in the opposite direction.
Upon entering Earth Dragon Valley and sensing the absence of a Demon King, he felt at ease to venture in.
Simultaneously, he discovered nurous spirit dicines, though having harvested quite a bit, he remained uneasy.
He also saw the cave mansion previously destroyed by the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor.
Involuntarily, his gaze lingered.
But before he could carefully inspect, he felt his physical body unable to move.
He was instantaneously drenched in cold sweat, desperately trying to break free, eager to activate his Lifebound Magical Treasure.
Yet at that mont, he seed to have turned into a re mortal, unable to sense spiritual energy, nor feel the presence of his magical treasure, even his divine sense barely extended beyond three feet.
His eyesight was even better.
His heart uncontrollably pounded, fearing this might be the only part of his body capable of movent!
"Demon Emperor!" his heart sank instantly.
Besides the Demon Emperor, he couldn’t fathom any other Demon King exerting such imnse pressure on him.
He wished to explain, but his mouth remained immobile, and his divine sense couldn’t spread out, rendering telepathy a re fantasy.
"Thud, thud, thud!" he heard a cane tapping sound, inducing fear alongside imnse curiosity.
Then a childish voice sounded:
"Grandma, is this the repugnant human race mber? He looks so weak, not even comparable to the fool big tiger grandma taught!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxuan naturally refused to accept it, he was at the Middle Stage.
"No, this one is indeed repugnant, but not as bad as those hiding in the skies; these people are supposedly full of righteousness, committed to the world, yet have not done a single righteous deed," an elderly voice sounded, full of affection.
Lin Qingxuan suddenly felt sowhat confused, perhaps there was a second person here?
Despite his confusion and fear, he was entirely helpless.
For he couldn’t see.
In the sky, a voice finally echoed.
"Fox Saint elder, this junior ca under the instruction of my master, Tian De Divine Monarch, to deliver a treasure for elder," the voice was quite gruff, and Lin Qingxuan thought he had heard it sowhere before.
Upon further thought, it was clearly True Monarch Tai Peng.
He was indeed a great cultivator from the Immortal Sect.
Upon hearing the term ’elder’, Lin Qingxuan felt his whole body stiffen.
He couldn’t understand why rely entering the outskirts of the Taihang Mountain Range had drawn the attention of the Demon Race’s great saint.
"Is that so? What treasure? To please my grandma, you’ll have to let see first. Don’t think you can fool Xiaoyu’Er, or I’ll sock you down!" the childish voice spoke again.
This made Lin Qingxuan feel even more fearful.
The thought of a little girl’s voice threatening to sock down a late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivator was beyond belief for anyone listening.
"Stop pretending, you should be able to move, carrying such a big spirit treasure and still really think the elder can’t see?"
"Fox Saint elder, this was refined by my master, otherwise it could have been gifted to the elder." True Monarch Tai Peng in the void forced a sowhat awkward smile before tossing out a jade box.
"Eight thousand years old, pretty decent, but convey to Tian De that the Western Demon Mountain Domain is beyond his reach. If he tries again to probe or sches anything, this old self isn’t like that old Flood Dragon, unwilling to let go of his Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, and won’t hesitate to cause a big commotion." A cold voice echoed.
"Please rest assured, elder, once this gift is delivered, I will return to Celestial Saint Island in the Qin Kingdom to report back!" True Monarch Tai Peng humbly replied multiple tis, making Lin Qingxuan suddenly have a bad premonition.
He imdiately restrained himself from listening further.
The next mont, he felt a breeze lift him, sensing he seed able to move.
He was instantly sowhat joyful.
But before he could run, he saw a hand reach out from his chest.
Turning around, he saw the righteous appearance of True Monarch Tai Peng.
Once, he looked up to True Monarch Tai Peng as a role model.
Yet at this mont, the Demon Race’s saint hadn’t killed him, but True Monarch Tai Peng had clawed at him.
His thoughts were sparse, and he barely felt any pain.
He was simply regretful that after years of cultivation, he seed to have not truly relaxed.
...
At the bottom of Half Moon Lake, Ye Jingcheng was still ticulously researching the Five Elents Divine Thunder, currently mastering the Bing Fire Divine Thunder, but had not yet mastered the other four.
After all, the Five Elents Divine Thunder Secret Technique only reaches its maximum power when all five elents are complete.
However, the ti it requires is considerable.
His only advantage is that the True Essence derived from the Beast Communication Pattern is comparatively pure, and refining for two to three hours daily equals three to four days of effort for other normal cultivators.
But at this Half Moon Lake’s bottom, danger can arise at any mont, so he dared not imrse himself too deeply in cultivation, otherwise, if soone or a Demon King discovered this place, not only could the cultivation technique backfire, even if stabilized, he might lose the chance to escape.
The reason for cultivating the secret technique is, first, because understanding the secret technique suddenly stopping is not a problem.
Secondly, because the beast tide cannot be ended in a short ti, the current situation is beyond his influence.
Rather than constant worry, it’s better to enhance one’s strength.
Of course, while Ye Jingcheng is comprehending, the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven is constantly sensing.
Furthermore, deploying the Void Concealnt Skill covered most of the nearby space.
Even if the Demon Emperor sees it, they would only think it’s a small secret realm.
But at this mont, the Stone Spirit suddenly spoke to Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Soul.
"Master, an extrely terrifying Divine Sense just passed by, I feel it might have discovered ." The Stone Spirit now expressed far more than before, otherwise, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t have let the Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit bring the Malachite Stone Spirit.
And at this mont, the words of the Stone Spirit were extrely fearful, sothing Ye Jingcheng had never felt before.
You must know, the Void Concealnt Skill is being used now.
Ye Jingcheng instantly felt a chill, and imdiately activated the transmission array. As the teleportation aura erged, both Ye Jingcheng’s body and the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven vanished from the bottom of Half Moon Lake.
Once transported to the Desert Sea, Ye Jingcheng also directly destroyed the transmission array there.
Thus, even if the opposite party wants to teleport, they definitely cannot.
At this mont, when Ye Xingyu saw Ye Jingcheng appearing here, he was extrely puzzled.
"Jingcheng, what have you discovered?" Ye Xingyu, for the first ti, saw Ye Jingcheng so nervous.
"Discovered by the Demon Emperor, almost couldn’t escape!" Ye Jingcheng’s complexion was extrely ugly, despite his carefully laid plans seemingly still failing.
They had no choice but to escape into the Desert Sea.
Moreover, the teleportation array might have been lost.
The only thing he could hope for was that the Demon Emperor wouldn’t stay at that Tier Three Spiritual Vein.
After all, the Demon Race cannot relocate spirit veins, nor refine and repair transmission arrays, so they wouldn’t move the transmission array either.
But Ye Jingcheng knows this is just wishful thinking, should the Demon Race reach the Demon Emperor, they could relocate the transmission array or even thoroughly destroy it.
Then the Ye family’s possibility to return to the Taihang Mountain Range would be gone.
"I’ll go talk to Fourth Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng was quite helpless at this mont. If it’s truly destroyed, the Ye family can only explore the Celestial Departure Grassland and Hundred Thousand Mountains.
...
While Ye Jingcheng was contemplating, outside Half Moon Lake, an elder and a youngster arrived.
"Grandmother, why co here? The Silver Moon Python here has a terrible temperant, not adorable at all!"
"There’s a rare Stone Demon, which can hide in the void!" The Fox Saint replied.
"Oh, there’s also a Human Cultivator and a transmission array!"
The elder and youngster soon appeared on the island at the heart of Half Moon Lake.
It observed that a spirit pattern at the center of the transmission array has dimd down.
"That transmission array over there has been destroyed!" The Fox Saint couldn’t help but say.
"Truly cunning humans!" it remarked.
"Then break their transmission array, always planting transmission arrays in the mountain, it’s really troubleso!" The young Fox Girl unleashed a palm strike, instantly collapsing a corner of the transmission array.
The Fox Saint did not speak, directly rubbing the young Fox Girl’s head.
"Let’s go back, cultivate well, the Earth Immortal Realm will soon open again. We must give them a good lesson!"
...
Beside Cyan Willow Mountain, at Cyan Willow Lake, the Jin Family’s branch patriarch is now Jin Yurong.
He looked at a group of Jin Family Elders, all sowhat wishing to cry.
If they had known the beast tides in Taihang Commandery were so frequent, they wouldn’t have established the Taihang Branch.
The speed of loss in this mortal area within several years exceeds that of Taichang Commandery in several centuries.
The most crucial point is whenever Taiyi Sect sets up arrays here, they forcibly extract the spiritual vein of Cyan Willow Mountain.
This low-tier spirit vein coupled with high-tier arrays only causes the spiritual vein to shrink, even causing the vein to rank downward.
The spiritual vein at Cyan Willow Lake had fallen once during the previous beast tide.
Now it’s even worse, replaced with a Tier Five Mountain Protection Array.
They can foresee what will happen to the spiritual vein in the future.
Yet they cannot speak, as this is Taiyi Sect helping the Jin Family resist the beast tide.
"Several Upper Sect seniors are present, Yurong, bear it for now. After this event passes, I’ll propose to change the Jin Family Branch into a Foundation Establishnt Clan, then you can return to the main family, where there’s more resources!" Next to him, the elder was also helpless.
After all, the situation in Taihang Commandery wasn’t this dire before.
But now, it’s indeed not suitable for substantial developnt, not considering the Ye family has the support of Taiyi Sect, the rate of loss is rather unworthy.
"Might as well take advantage of the Golden Core Ancestors within the family and make a move to the Outer Sea; it’s said that once the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain reopens, the Upper Sect will also open the transmission array with the Outer Sea to establish a branch sect. Then we should set out to the Outer Sea!"
Jin Yurong felt extrely helpless hearing this.
But he didn’t dare speak much, just disbanded everyone, directing them to the city walls to face the beast tide.
Once the array is activated, the few whose faces were filled with worry quickly transford into a look as though ready to heroically sacrifice at any mont.
