Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 116: Chapter 117: The Backup Plan

The situation on the field changed too quickly, whether it was Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox that could control most of the Purple Poison Thorn.

Or the new array that greatly surprised the three tribulation cultivators.

Since the ambush failed, and a direct confrontation was not possible, they began to retreat almost as soon as they made contact.

Yet, how could Ye Jingcheng and others let these three escape?

Ye Jingcheng patted his Spirit Beast Bag, and a Golden Scale Beast steadily landed beside him and rushed out directly.

Ye Jingcheng had also fed a few spirit beasts with Antitoxic Pill and Ice Purity Pill in advance, so they were not afraid of the miasma for a short time, and leaped out as dazzling yellow light instantly chasing.

Its two pairs of powerful front paws, while landing, were still surrounded by a not weak earthy yellow spiritual aura.

At that instant, in the four directions of the one-armed cultivator, paths of Earth Spike Skills started to emerge!

Each of these earth spikes, like long spears of two or three zhang long, instantly forced the cultivator to make sharp turns and stop, releasing various spirit talismans and magical artifacts!

However, those spirit shields couldn’t hold up under the Earth Spike Skill for long and were instead invaded by the tri-color miasma.

The one-armed elder had evidently ingested elixirs in advance, but his technique of conjuring artifacts was too slow, even though his face was furious and spiritual energy surged wildly, the Golden Scale Beast kept getting closer.

He tried to use artifacts to slash the Golden Scale Beast, only to find that the beast not only had a body covered in scale armor, but also had stone armor closely resembling its own color, with a Jade Ring Shield spiritual artifact on its neck.

A few magic swords failed to succeed, and instead, his speed kept declining!

At the same time, a Golden Shadow Sword turned into a golden light, breaking through the sky.

Ye Jingcheng was directing the Upper Grade Flying Sword to approach!

The opponent was at the end of his tether, so he was no longer afraid.

Following him was ’half’ Ye Jingli, with his Cyan-Scaled Python and Ye Jingteng, Ye Xingyu, and Ye Xingqun chasing Yongnan Double Tribulation.

While Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli, along with his Earth Fire Lion, the Earth Fire Lion which is an inherited spirit beast, even though it was older, its blood qi didn’t stand out in particular.

It was considered a spirit beast without prospects, but at this moment, it was good enough for Ye Jingli, as it could increase his cultivation speed.

The protective effect at this moment was excellent!

The Earth Fire Lion, bathed in flames, was reaching out to grab the one-armed cultivator!

“Don’t push me to fight to the death!” the one-armed cultivator let out a cold shout, making Divine Souls tremble.

It was evidently some specially crafted magic!

Ye Jingli was indeed somewhat affected, he wanted to drag the opponent to death, there was no need to rush.

And Ye Jingcheng took another step forward.

In his eyes, the more intimidating the momentum, the more it was empty pose.

The Earth Fire Lion, along with his Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox, all arrived together, and the one-armed elder couldn’t survive.

As for fighting desperately, there was no room for him here!

Sure enough, the elder yelled fiercely, only because he saw Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli’s youthful faces, in reality, he was fierce in appearance but a coward at heart, exhausted all his tricks!

With a flying sword spiritual artifact in one hand, and a small shield spiritual artifact in the other, but even so, his finger techniques had already become somewhat inadequate.

Ye Jingcheng’s body stopped approaching when he was about ten zhang away.

This scene made the elder show regret in his eyes.

When the Golden Scale Beast’s claws grabbed him again, he leaped backward, spitting blood from his mouth, and his eyes turned fierce.

He took out a red drum, the size of a palm, and a shiny black silver needle!

The previous precariousness was apparently feigned weakness by the elder.

Ye Jingcheng immediately knew something was wrong, and saw the drum had already started shaking, suddenly, Ye Jingcheng only felt a frantic war drum pounding in his ears!

The rumbling sound was deafening.

His entire head was about to explode, the finger techniques he had just completed mostly scattered away.

That black silver needle also came stabbing towards Ye Jingcheng’s brow.

At this moment, not only Ye Jingcheng was affected, but also those spirit beasts and Ye Jingli were greatly affected.

But luckily, Ye Jingcheng had called forth a Cold Sun Seal in advance.

However, the Cold Sun Seal, weakened by Ye Jingcheng’s diminished spiritual power, was also weakened, and was pierced by the Shadow Needle flying off, and its momentum did not reduce as it came towards Ye Jingcheng’s face.

At that time, a jade light swept past, then a spirit shadow of white jade appeared in the void.

It was the Jade Qilin Snake’s Jade Qilin Tail Saber, slashing away the Shadow Needle.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng’s body surface showed densely packed earthy yellow spirit armor.

Due to the Golden Scale Beast’s advancement, his capability of communicating with the Golden Scale Beast greatly increased, now no longer a simple Stone Skin Skill, but a Stone Armor Skill!

Ye Jingcheng dared not gamble, so he let the Jade Qilin Snake out.

This elder was truly insidious, his sneak attack artifacts were all in sets.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng unharmed, and the spirit shadow before Ye Jingcheng.

His eyes widened in utter disbelief.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng dared not hesitate, the Golden Shadow Sword in his hand slashed out again, and the spirit beasts started cooperating.

The elder narrowly escaped death again, only he continued to struggle, seemingly trying to buy time or for something else!

Moreover, his experience was overly rich, always exchanging small injuries for big injuries.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng no longer hesitated.

After the Golden Shadow Sword returned without success, it transformed into a golden rainbow and was withdrawn, his hand now summoned the Cyan Heart Mirror!

He was currently at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and his spiritual power was thick and condensed. However, even so, after using the Cyan Heart Mirror, he couldn’t easily wield more than a Tier One High-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

The Cold Sun Seal was currently being used as a defensive spiritual artifact by him, so it naturally couldn’t be retracted!

But once the Cyan Heart Mirror illuminated him.

The one-armed elder’s face showed shock, and he twisted frantically, trying to avoid the cyan light!

With his one-armed posture, he couldn’t summon the mysterious Spirit Drum again, and being illuminated meant certain death.

A soft pfft sound was heard!

The sound of something piercing through the air came out; it was the Earth Spike Skill directly piercing towards the elder’s lower body.

Moreover, the Earth Spike Skill was densely packed. Because the Golden Scale Beast had a mental connection with Ye Jingcheng, their cooperation was flawless.

The elder could only rely on the armor on his body to endure!

But in fact, the elder had clearly bet wrong; the astonishing sharpness of the Earth Spike Skill directly impaled him there!

At the same time, a Fireball hit the elder’s face directly.

The Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer elder cultivator died!

Ye Jingcheng hooked the elder’s storage bag, and casually sent out another Fireball Skill, burning the elder’s corpse cleanly.

Ye Jingli arrived after putting away his magical artifacts and, seeing this, his face was full of curiosity, like a boy with questions.

He was obviously curious about the great power display of the Golden Scale Beast and the Red Flame Fox, and also wanted to ask about the appearance of the Jade Qilin Snake.

But Ye Jingcheng shook his head and spoke to Ye Jingli.

“Brother Liu, this elder might have some issues. Could you use Divine Sense to check the surroundings?”

Ye Jingcheng thought about the elder’s previous hesitations and decided to inspect the area out of caution.

Ye Jingli, hearing this, was full of doubt, but did as asked.

Ye Jingcheng also controlled his Divine Sense, and as expected, he found a Jade Talisman buried underground at the spot they had just passed. This Jade Talisman would naturally be detectable elsewhere, but here, if not discovered, it could easily remain!

After all, the range of Divine Sense here was very limited.

This ambush was definitely premeditated, and the Jade Talisman might hold some evidence.

If it was clear that the Taiyi Sect’s cultivators were harming their own sect, and they were disciples of Taixu Wanderer, then the situation within the Taiyi Sect could escalate.

It’s believed that the Taiyi Illusion Peak would not miss the opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Silently, Ye Jingcheng put the Jade Talisman into his storage bag.

“Brother Liu, let’s quickly go help Fifteenth Uncle and Old Seventh Uncle!” Ye Jingcheng spoke up again, but it wasn’t that he didn’t give Ye Jingli time to ask questions.

Rather, the fact that the family uncles hadn’t arrived yet indicated that the situation there might be more troublesome.

The reputation of the Yongnan Double Tribulation was quite formidable.

If they could stay, they might find more evidence.

“Alright, let’s go help Fifteenth Uncle and Seventh Uncle; just as well, my Cyan-Scaled Python is still over there!” Ye Jingli nodded; he also knew what was most important at the moment.

Ye Xingyu was ranked fifteenth in the Ye Family’s Xing generation, and Ye Xingqun was ranked seventh.

However, in terms of cultivation, Ye Xingyu was far superior to Ye Xingqun. After all, Insect Cultivation was powerful, but it required a lot of effort.

Instantly, Ye Jingli led the way, followed by Ye Jingcheng, whereas in terms of spirit beasts, Ye Jingli’s Earth Fire Lion took the lead, Ye Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox and Jade Ring Rat were in the middle, with the Golden Scale Beast bringing up the rear.

As for the Peak of Mid-stage First Tier Jade Qilin Snake, it was taken into the Spirit Beast Bag by Ye Jingcheng.

The group quickly moved forward through the Three-Colored Miasma.

Halfway there, Ye Jingcheng transmitted a message to Ye Jingli again.

“Brother Liu, in which direction are they fleeing? They should be fighting as they flee; we can block them ahead!” Ye Jingcheng suggested.

Judging by the direction Ye Jingli sensed, as long as they were pursuing, their speed would be slow.

They could indeed intercept them ahead.

Ye Jingli wore a contemplative expression, seemingly assessing through the Blood Contract. After a while, he looked at Ye Jingcheng with a troubled expression.

“Jingcheng, they’re not fleeing outside the Five Poison Peak but toward the lair of that group of Purple Cloud Scorpions!” Ye Jingli informed.

With those words, Ye Jingcheng’s expression also turned grim.

That group of Purple Cloud Scorpions, given their strength, was not something they could provoke.

And as for the opponents, with nothing to lose, they weren’t afraid either.

“Let’s go, and try to intercept ahead!” Ye Jingcheng determinedly lifted his head, deciding to give it a try.

Of course, if they actually approached within fifty feet of those Purple Cloud Scorpions, Ye Jingcheng would not attempt further.

After all, although the miasma had a significant impact, how much it affected spirit insects was unknown.

Saying this, Ye Jingcheng took out another Jade Talisman, which showed the route map they had come through.

“Brother Liu, take a look at where your Cyan-Scaled Python is!” Ye Jingcheng handed the Jade Talisman to Ye Jingli.

After Ye Jingli pointed out a location, Ye Jingcheng felt much more at ease.

They each took out a Divine Movement Talisman and affixed one to themselves and their spirit beasts, swiftly charging forward.

Before long, they arrived at a slightly lower plain, and looking into the denser miasma, they could faintly see a giant withered tree standing within that thick miasma.

The withered tree was immense, and those Purple Cloud Scorpions were indeed within it.

Although they were too far to see the Purple Cloud Scorpions, their expressions were still somewhat anxious, especially Ye Jingli.

“Jingcheng, they have about thirty breaths of time before they arrive!” Ye Jingli, knowing he had no judgment, simply gave Ye Jingcheng the information.
