Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 822: Chapter 588: The Fall of Purple Swan Mountain and the Tacit Understanding Among the Powerful (Double Chapter)

The Soul Talisman is a wisp separated from a cultivator’s Divine Soul. If it falls into the hands of another cultivator, it can be used to trace the cultivator.

He naturally wanted to retrieve the Soul Talisman first.

Otherwise, if the Soul Talisman was taken by the Profound Cyan Gang, he would be hard-pressed to escape death even if he fled to the Sea Domain.

He headed towards the family Ancestral Hall.

At this moment, he could already see far away in the sky, spiritual light fluctuating; it was indeed the Profound Cyan Gang launching an attack.

Though still far away.

But the speed was beyond his imagination. He knew those were Tier Three Middle Grade Spiritual Ships, and his heart sank.

He desperately rushed towards the Ancestral Hall; the Xun Family hadn’t fallen into chaos yet because the news that the Purple Mansion members were absent hadn’t been leaked.

But secretly, he knew many of the Xun Family’s Foundation Establishment were fleeing with the family treasures.

Along with him were several Foundation Establishment cultivators, all aiming for the Ancestral Hall, obviously wanting to retrieve the Soul Talismans.

But when they arrived at the family main hall, Xun Changqing was already there.

“No one is allowed near the Soul Talisman. You must wait for the Patriarch to come out!” Xun Changqing shouted coldly.

His expression was stern, with a fierce aura, but his eyes were somewhat vacant!

“You’re not Xun Changqing; who the hell are you!” Xun Changsheng roared.

If he was suspicious before, now Xun Changqing’s obstruction incited his burning rage.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also realized the situation.

Only Xun Changqing could approach the two Purple Mansion Patriarchs.

Now that the Patriarchs were in trouble, Xun Changqing was highly suspicious!

“Are you with the Profound Cyan Gang or the Yan Family, and what Cultivation Technique are you using!” Xun Changsheng continued to question.

But Xun Changqing still insisted they couldn’t leave.

They must wait for the Patriarch to return.

His tone was extremely stiff, a complete contrast to the earlier Xun Changqing.

It was obvious he’d been swapped.

“Kill him, take back the Jade Talisman; there’s no need to guard Purple Swan Mountain anymore!” Xun Changsheng saw things clearly.

With just a wave, his Flying Sword pierced into Xun Changqing’s chest.

Yet Xun Changqing was terrifyingly weak!

Even when the sword pierced Xun Changqing’s chest, spiritual light surged in his eyes, and an aura began brewing, causing the Ancestral Hall to feel oppressive!

“Not good!” Xun Changsheng shouted.

Xun Changqing unexpectedly began to self-destruct!

With a final Spirit Technique activated, a terrifying shockwave of self-destruction swept through the Ancestral Hall.

All the Foundation Establishment cultivators were unprepared; in an instant, many were dead or injured!

Xun Changsheng’s face was full of grief.

The only word in his mind was the Corpse Puppet Skill.

The Ancestral Hall was completely annihilated, and naturally, the Soul Talismans vanished as well.

But Xun Changsheng didn’t know if the Soul Talismans were destroyed or fell into the hands of rogue cultivators.

But he knew that everything for the Xun Family was over.

In the distance, two massive Tier Three Spiritual Ships quickly arrived.

Ji Tianhe and Xiao Hongyun walked out together, the pressure of the Purple Mansion bearing down on all of Purple Swan Mountain.

The Array on Purple Swan Mountain was a Tier Three Middle Grade Array.

But this Array had long been studied thoroughly by Ji Tianhe.

A Flying Sword Treasure flew out, slicing nearly half the Array with a single sword.

The remaining was then cleaved apart by Xiao Hongyun’s Flying Saber Treasure.

It wasn’t that the Array was weak, but that there was no one to control it, with two late-stage Foundation Establishment, one dead, one injured.

Others, being Foundation Establishments, also only wanted the Soul Talisman.

No one controlled the Array, and the Purple Mansion cultivators arrived so quickly.

They had no time to react.

“Xiao Hongyun, Ji Tianhe, we of the Xun Family admit defeat, but I urge you to be careful…” At this moment, Xun Changsheng went berserk; even if it meant invoking Soul Ban and the Heavenly Dao Oath to kill him, he still had to speak.

In his view, the Ye Family was the most suspicious, having gotten the Key to the Pill Desolate Secret Realm, and Ye Jingcheng was a Purple Mansion genius.

Moreover, rumors had it the Ye Family could be descendants of Beast Desolate.

It’s quite normal for the family to have hidden cultivators.

Coupled with Ye Jingcheng’s rapid breakthrough, it was certain the Ye Family left tremendous resources for him.

But before he could finish, Ji Tianhe’s sword had already plunged into his chest.

His words were abruptly cut off.

And Xiao Hongyun commenced the slaughter.

At this moment, to Xiao Hongyun and Ji Tianhe, they didn’t care who had destroyed the Xun Family.

Be it the demon cultivators of the Chu Kingdom, the old masters of Qinghe Sect, or even the Xun Family itself.

All they cared about was that they were the biggest beneficiaries.

Before besieging the Xun Family, they naturally anticipated the Xun Family’s other cultivators might flee early, so they had already established an encirclement; any fleeing cultivators would be slain by them.

They also sensed in the dark that another group was killing the Xun Family cultivators.

And they even speculated it could be avengers seeking revenge on the Xun Family, merely unable to act openly due to Qinghe Sect.

Allowing the Profound Cyan Gang to pick up the slack.

Although they were slightly displeased, feeling used as pawns, they also realized, anyone who could destroy the Xun Family in the shadows could easily destroy their own Profound Cyan Gang.

They naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to probe further into who was behind it all.

So they silenced Xun Changsheng.

This benefited everyone; those in the dark got their revenge, the Profound Cyan Gang took over Purple Swan Mountain and reaped the tangible benefits.

Even if those in the dark took many treasures, they felt not the slightest anger.

After all, they were helped to vanquish two Purple Mansions!

And their Profound Cyan Gang, could be said to not have lost a single soldier.

“Slaughter them, leave no one alive!” Once the Foundation Establishment all died, Ji Tianhe spoke again.

The cultivators of the Profound Cyan Gang were red-eyed with killing.

It wasn’t true rage they felt, but that each cultivator possessed a Storage Bag, and if they killed slowly, the spoils would belong to others.

…

The magical combat fluctuations from Purple Swan Mountain spread far, in a dense forest thousands of miles away, five Spirit-Blocking Robe cultivators landed.

In their hands was a mirror.

The mirror displayed the scene of Purple Swan Mountain.

“Alright, the matter of the Xun Family concludes here; it’s just a pity there’s still quite a few Spirit Stones and treasures!” The speaker was Ye Haicheng.

“Haicheng, sometimes you need to be content, Jingcheng does better in this regard!” Ye Xuefan’s voice naturally sounded.

This made Ye Jingcheng speechless.

These were all his elders here, some two generations older, some three generations older.

Nothing he could say.

“This time, Ji Tianhe from the Profound Cyan Gang is indeed a formidable figure; else there’s no big issue, but still some potential danger!”

“Not investigating deeply and even silencing all is just to give us an explanation!” Ye Xuefan spoke.

With these words, Ye Jingcheng learned much in his heart.

He knew that the family Patriarch likely considered this when choosing allies.

The Profound Cyan Gang’s rapid rise clearly wasn’t accomplished by fools.

The Ye Family knowingly left a lot of treasures as a tacit agreement.

Though the biggest treasure for the Ye Family was still the Pill Desolate Secret Realm.

Hence, the current treasures hardly caught the Ye Family’s eye.

“How long until Jingyu and the others, only three days until the summer solstice, we must hurry to the swamp!” Ye Xuefan said.

And Ye Haicheng looked at the Clan Token, inquiring.

Meanwhile, Ye Haicheng handed a Jade Talisman to Ye Jingcheng.

“Jingcheng, this is some information about the entrance to the Pill Desolate Secret Realm. When the Secret Realm opens, you must leave plenty of your Five Poison Bees in the swamp!”

“Although the likelihood of discovery is small, it’s a precaution!”

Ye Jingcheng took the Jade Talisman, seeing a huge map of miasma-covered swamps.

Marked within were countless points, all prepared for the Five Poison Bee.

Clearly, the family had planned everything.

Ye Jingcheng only needed to follow the family in.

“Granduncle, are there really many Wood Demons in this Secret Realm?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

“Yes, likely a lot; if successful, the Ye Family’s Golden Core Clan foundation will be solidified!” Ye Haicheng nodded!
