In the hall, Ye Xingliu had not spoken for a long ti, seemingly still in shock, and others dared not utter a word.
Qianhe Ascendant was leisurely sipping the Spirit Tea.
However, after taking a sip, he frowned, appearing dissatisfied with the inferior quality of the tea provided by the Ye Family.
Next to him, the Mo Family patriarch and the Xu Family patriarch did not show the sa expression.
They were here to press the Ye Family, not expecting any pleasant hospitality.
The fact that they were ceremoniously invited was already quite a display.
"Choose one of these two treasures!" After a long ti, seeing that Ye Xingliu showed no sign of giving up, Qianhe Ascendant finally spoke.
His words were chilling.
But Ye Xingliu did not respond, causing Qianhe Ascendant to beco sowhat irritated.
"Please give the Ascendant so additional ti!" Ye Xingliu continued to speak.
Qianhe Ascendant, planning only to allocate a single treasure anyway, agreed.
However, just then, the sound of footsteps ca from outside. The faces of the three Ascendants changed, as Supre Taihao entered with Ye Jingteng and another sect elder.
"Xu Hao, why are you here?"
"Why? If Li Tianhe is able to co, then why can’t I, Xu Hao?"
"Besides, the Ye Family is the family of my disciple, so I naturally want to see how Qianhe Ascendant will handle matters fairly!"
"To this end, I’ve brought along the Law Enforcent Elder from my Taiyi Illusion Peak, Senior Brother Xu!" Supre Taihao found a seat as he spoke and sat down.
Ye Xingliu imdiately began brewing tea again, but this tea was different, having transford into another kind of Spirit Tea.
This Spirit Tea appeared ancient and fragrant, steeped in Spirit Water, making it extraordinary.
After pouring a cup for both Supre Taihao and the Law Enforcent Elder of Taiyi Sect, the aroma of the tea in the hall had changed entirely.
The faces of the Xu Family patriarch and Mo Family patriarch seed sowhat awkward at this mont.
But they could do nothing against the two Purple Mansion elders of Taiyi Sect.
Though they themselves were also of the Purple Mansion and held titles as Outer Elders of Taiyi Sect, the difference between them was as vast as a celestial chasm.
Qianhe Ascendant’s face flushed red.
"Continue discussing the resolution; I’ve already heard about the matter!" Supre Taihao spoke again.
These words made Qianhe Ascendant feel even more embarrassed, though it passed quickly. As a Purple Mansion elder, despite being montarily mortified, he had weathered all manner of storms and was unlikely to lose his cool now.
Beside him, Senior Brother Xu nodded. This Law Enforcent Elder, Tianzhen Ascendant, had cultivation at the late stage of Purple Mansion.
With his nod, Qianhe Ascendant dared not neglect the matter, unable to suppress it further.
"Senior Brother Xu, I’ve already investigated the Li Family and Chen Family; they claim their old patriarch left a month ago to pursue a breakthrough."
"Thus, his whereabouts are unknown, and to hide the sha of their patriarch’s departure from the family, they dared not make it public!"
"This matter needs to remain confidential among the great families!"
"However, regardless, the attack on the Ye Clan Mountain stands as justified!"
"Therefore, I find that though the Li Family and Chen Family acted without ill intent, they cannot escape punishnt. Besides compensating the Ye Family with treasures, they should allocate either a Tier One High-Grade mine or dicine mountain to the Ye Family!"
"Additionally, they must apologize to the Ye Family!"
Qianhe Ascendant took out two Jade Talismans.
The Jade Talismans landed in the hands of Supre Taihao and Tianzhen Ascendant.
The two then handed the Jade Talismans to Ye Jingteng, who was delighted, and then passed them to Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyu to see.
Inside docunted the declarations of Chen Xuan’an and Li Yulan leaving the family.
However, such records can easily be falsified.
"How do the Xu Family elder and Mo Family elder find this judgnt?" Supre Taihao asked once more.
This question caused both of them to hesitate.
Qianhe Ascendant also hesitated, this evidently being a sign of Supre Taihao’s dissatisfaction.
They were also aware that the majority of resources offered by the Li Family and Chen Family would end up in Supre Taihao’s hands.
Thus, they were dissatisfied with a Tier One High-Grade Spirit Mountain or dicine mountain.
Or rather, they were dissatisfied with only one.
"I think it depends on the specific resources!" The Xu Family patriarch was also astute.
This Master Tianzhen, although with the surna Xu, was not of their Xu Family, nor could they afford to offend him.
Leaving the matter to Qianhe Ascendant to announce seed more fitting.
After all, the resources from the Li Family and Chen Family also required offering so to Qianhe Ascendant.
It was unrelated to them.
The Mo Family patriarch nodded further.
"Indeed, I’ve heard the Ye Family was also plotted against in Jade Dragon Valley; the Li Family and Chen Family cannot be easily forgiven, hence punishnt of two Spirit Mountains or dicine mountains each!" Qianhe Ascendant said.
Only then did Supre Taihao nod.
"This resolution is appropriate, Junior Brother Li!" Master Tianzhen also spoke, concluding the handling of the Clan Mountain dispute.
The Ye Family not only gained a Blue Jade Lotus and exceptional Wood Spirit Beast cubs but also acquired four dicine mountains.
Though it was likely that higher-grade Spirit dicine would be harvested, the Spiritual Soil, dicine Garden, and Spirit Vein remained incalculable in value.
The sole troubleso aspect was arranging cultivators for protection.
Having announced the resolution, Qianhe Ascendant left imdiately, returning to Jade Dragon Valley.
The Xu Family patriarch and Mo Family patriarch drank a cup of tea and conversed for a while before departing.
They dared not offend any elders of Taiyi Sect.
"Thank you, Ascendant seniors, for supporting my family’s case!" After the others had left, Ye Xingliu bowed to Supre Taihao and Master Tianzhen.
"No need for gratitude; you are a senior to Jingteng and not an outsider. Moreover, given such circumstances, the sect can still provide protection!"
"However, the other party was well prepared, so further punishnt is not feasible!" Supre Taihao replied.
Everyone nodded, feeling satisfied with the outco.
Although the Ye Family might ultimately only receive two of the four Spirit Mountains, their value remained exceedingly high.
In appreciation, Ye Xingliu prepared a al of Spiritual Cuisine and Spirit Wine for the two.
...
On Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng awoke from his breakthrough at this mont.
It was still midnight, the starry sky sparkling over the tranquil night.
His eyes glead with excitent, showing no distress from the interruption in cultivation.
His Divine Sense extended to the adjacent room, which was filled with White Jade Spiritual Aura.
He awoke from cultivation precisely because the Jade Qilin Snake had experienced a breakthrough.
This marked his second Tier Two Spirit Beast, naturally leaving him thrilled.
He rose and entered the adjacent room.
"Hungry!"
The thought of hunger persisted, and Ye Jingcheng opened the door to find the Jade Qilin Snake, now grown by nearly one-third, and fully covered in White Jade Scale Armor.
The difference from its previous White Jade Snake Hide was imnse.
A bump had appeared on its forehead!
Simultaneously, its snake fins had grown more nurous, its aura even more formidable!
