Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 950: Chapter 662: Facing Death to Survive, True Monarch Assembly (Double-Length)

In front of the narrow Celestial Horse Island, there are quite a few small islands.

They are scattered like satellite islands guarding the main island, dotting the sea domain.

With the construction of a giant defense line on Celestial Horse Island, these islands now also have some defense lines.

These small islands also have arrays, and there are True Masters responsible for defending them.

Wangyun Island is one of the larger islands.

Yu Ming Island, on the other hand, is one of the smaller and more remote islands.

From here, one can even see the outline of the Miasma Sea.

Of course, this Miasma Sea is not naturally formed, but rather infused with Celestial Miasma by the four Nascent Soul Grand Sects of Lu Kingdom and Qi Kingdom. This Celestial Miasma is not only extremely toxic, but can also penetrate through magical treasures’ Spirit Shields. Once inside, demons and cultivators alike can only perish within.

The Celestial Miasma has been the greatest barrier enabling the Celestial Horse Islands to guard over the years.

Otherwise, even if Celestial Horse Pass were indestructible, if those demon beasts bypassed it and surrounded it, Celestial Horse Pass might have been breached long ago.

At present, not only does entry to Celestial Horse Island require queuing and background checking.

Even Yu Ming Island requires the same, otherwise those who want to retreat will be left at the sea’s outskirts; there are simply too many cultivators retreating.

Not to mention countless mortals.

Certainly, do not think these cultivators are kindly carrying mortals with them; it is not unheard of for them to abandon these mortals to attract the demon beasts’ attention while escaping.

In the crowd, several cultivators wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes, exposing only their eyes, are also observing the crowd and the long, narrow Celestial Horse Island.

Soon another cultivator approached, shook his head, and the eyes of the remaining two showed immediate disappointment.

These people are none other than Ye Xuecang, Ye Jingyu, and others.

They have come to the Celestial Horse Islands intending to head to the Eastern Domain to contribute to the Ye Family’s Earth Dragon Demon King breakthrough.

Yet the various escape strategies previously prepared by the Ye Family are unexpectedly ineffective at this moment.

Neither the Yu Family’s business association nor some Golden Core sects in the Celestial Horse Sea Domain currently have the privilege to retreat to the Celestial Horse Islands.

Even their Golden Core Ancestors can only defend in front of Celestial Horse Island with their heritage; they themselves struggle to survive, let alone bringing members of the Ye Family along.

“Do we still need to pass through Celestial Horse Pass?” Ye Jingyu takes on the identity of Sect Leader of the Purple Wood Sect, while Ye Xuecang and others return to their original appearances in the Purple Wood Sect.

Mimicking the Yun Family is unnecessary now.

Instead, it’s likely to arouse suspicion.

Moreover, wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes and concealing identities are common among many cultivators, making the Ye Family group not particularly conspicuous.

Of course, most of the Ye Family disciples remain on a more distant island under the leadership of Ye Haige and Ye Xuefu.

“Let’s wait!” Ye Xuecang’s eyes show some helplessness.

The situation has changed too swiftly, and they hadn’t anticipated the beast tide would turn into this scenario.

Four Demon Emperors, perhaps five, was their initial estimation.

Yet now, following the fate of Celestial Flood Dragon Sea and Chenjing Sea, the number of Demon Emperors is likely more than seven or eight.

“Fortunately, they have already gone in!” Ye Xuecang also thinks of Ye Jingcheng; through the clan token, he has learned of Ye Jingcheng’s progress.

Furthermore, he instructed Ye Jingcheng to proceed directly to Yan Kingdom without delay, to expedite the Earth Dragon Demon King’s breakthrough.

Of course, although transmitting messages, Ye Xuecang still refrains from mentioning names or leaking too much information.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators on these islands is steadily increasing.

Lu Kingdom’s Haoyang Daoist Temple, Celestial Water Sect, Qi Kingdom’s Sea-Controlling Sect, and East Heaven Sect.

Other Eastern Domain Countries are also arriving, the number of Nascent Souls might exceed ten.

“If nothing works, we might have no choice but to be reborn from death!” Ye Xuecang involuntarily transmits. His cultivation at the moment is only the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion.

Of course, this transmission is only audible to a few people like Ye Jingyu, Ye Haifei, Ye Haige.

Observing this, Ye Jingyu also misses Ye Jingcheng; if Ye Jingcheng were here, with his Grotto Heaven, the Ye Family’s target wouldn’t be too large, and the risk of exposure would be smaller.

Of course, if the Ye Family had a second Tai Cang Turtle, that would work too.

However, neither is possible; the former carries the Earth Dragon Demon King, the clansmen of Lingyun Peak, and the numerous Beast Souls the Ye Family reaped this time.

The latter carries most of the Ye Family’s mortals, their immortal seedlings, as well as Ye Shen Valley, heritage, and the Beast Communication Tower, none of which can afford any mishap.

“Where’s the nearest Secret Realm?” Ye Xuecang also looks at Ye Haifei.

Ye Haifei naturally understands Ye Xuecang’s meaning; now that Celestial Horse Pass has the Sea Mirror, they cannot sneak past it, nor can they infiltrate Celestial Horse City, let alone escape into the Celestial Horse Sea Domain.

His fingers subtly move, entering the seawater, causing some Spiritual Light to scatter, the Blood Leeches concealed in seawater quickly disperse as well.

Of course, his Blood Leeches are not searching for Secret Realms; the Ye Family has already investigated some Secret Realms before.

At this moment, he’s assessing which Secret Realms have minimal force, which realms suit the Ye Family, and which paths to the realms are safer.

The Ye Family cannot choose just one Secret Realm to escape.

For if cultivators or demon beasts of the same tier invade the realm, the Ye Family would be in grave trouble.

“Second Uncle, Purple Sect Leader!” Just then, Ye Haige appears on Yu Ming Island wearing a Spirit-Blocking Robe.

“Someone is secretly using roots to trade for places to retreat to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain!” Although anxious inside, Ye Haige maintains an utterly composed facade.
