Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 984: Chapter 685: Enemy Luring Tactics and the Desert Sea Situation

In Longxing Oasis, the sunlight was still scorching hot.

Accompanied by intertwining spiritual lights, the entire oasis soon rose up with an enormous grand array.

Above the grand array was a Yellow Dragon resembling a dragon’s shadow, swaying over the oasis with a majestic dragon head exuding supreme dignity.

This array was precisely the Tier Four High-Grade Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array.

Once the grand array was formed, the numerous Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators confidently descended towards the main hall.

Among them, Jia Mingyuan spoke:

“Jiaxing Pass has been annihilated, not a single one spared.”

His face was full of bitterness.

Among them were many outstanding members of the Jia Family, as well as the family’s ancestor, Jia Zeyuan.

He was the Jia Family’s most likely candidate to break through to Nascent Soul Body Cultivation.

“Yan Kingdom has also sent word back; most of the sects’ Nascent Soul cultivators have gone to Celestial Horse Sea Domain. The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators have not shown any signs of the sect doing anything major, so it can only be a Golden Core influence!”

“It is very likely the Ling Family, but their strength seems off!!” This time, it was Zhang Taichu who spoke.

By this time, the teleportation array was gone, and there was no point in arguing further.

The Tier Four Top-Grade Spiritual Vein was already established; just short of a bit more, it could use the spirit vein group to form a Tier Five Spirit Vein. Would they really forsake the spirit vein and forcefully leave?

Moreover, Zhang Taiji was still breaking through to Nascent Soul. Even though they forcefully made him leave seclusion, because of the backlash, he was still recovering.

As long as no Nascent Soul cultivator entered, they could rely on this Tier Four High-Grade grand array to severely injure the opponent.

“It could be Medicine King Valley secretly supporting the Ling Family, as they have long been covertly investigating spirit puppets!”

“I also think the Ye Family might be involved. We’ve been promoting the Ye Family as being in Beast Desolate Wasteland, and the opponent is also likely from Beast Desolate Wasteland, given the huge commotion in Cyan Cloud Sea Domain. We only stirred Chenjing Sea, but not Celestial Flood Dragon Sea!” This time, it was Zhang Family’s Purple Mansion Patriarch, Zhang Helin, who spoke.

“The Ye Family is unlikely; our Jia Family has been trading with them for many years, always maintaining excellent relations!” Jia Mingyuan seemed somewhat disagreeable.

“But most of the spirit beast meat entered Desert Sea. Wouldn’t they be suspicious?” Zhang Helin persisted.

“If so, keep promoting the notion that the Ye Family is from Beast Desolate Wasteland to attract attention. Only then could the foundation of our two families in Yan Kingdom be preserved!” Zhang Helin spoke again.

“Do you think they only target our Desert Sea?”

“If not mistaken, the Ling Family has already taken people to Celestial Abyss Mountain, while the Jin Family and even Illusion Peak may have headed to Yong’an Peak!” As Zhang Helin spoke, Jia Mingyuan immediately grew tense.

After all, they did not have a teleportation array, unable to support that side.

Most critically, both Jia Mingyun and Zhang Yongxin had already fallen.

Golden Core Clans are not wrong in the Cultivation Realm, but not having a Golden Core is the biggest mistake for a Golden Core Clan.

The Zhang Family was still fine; Fire Peak only saw Zhang Yongxin fall, but the Jia Family lost many Purple Mansion cultivators.

Currently at Celestial Abyss Peak, the Purple Mansion cultivators have only one person there.

“Just framing the Ye Family is useless; Qinghe Sect has long framed the Ye Family, but despite continually probing Taihang Commandery, no results came of it. Either the Ye Family is truly not from Beast Desolate Wasteland, or the Ye Family hides exceedingly deeply, possibly like us with a mini world or something akin to another sea domain that can be hidden. In that case, directly spreading rumors of Taiyi Sect would do; I believe Qinghe Sect will spare no effort in supporting it. If Taiyi Sect collapses, vitality would be ample for both our families!” This time, it was Golden Core Zhang Taichu who spoke.

With these words spoken.

Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up.

After all, Taiyi Sect had only True Monarch Zi Ming as its sole fighter, most critically, they also understood Medicine King Valley was supporting Taiyi Sect, not truly to marry Fairy Linghong, but to foster Fairy Linghong as the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect!

“Quickly arrange it, it will be too late if we miss the chance, use the Blood Pattern Boundary Book directly!” Zhang Taichu added further.

The Blood Pattern Boundary Book is even more domineering than the Sound Transmission Talisman, able to traverse realms for contact.

Especially considering Desert Sea and Eastern Domain are still one region, just extremely distant.

“Additionally, have them arrange the already retreated genius clansmen for early evacuation!” Zhang Taichu continued to give orders.

After giving orders, he also looked towards Jia Zehai.

“Jia Daoist, now it’s already a matter of life and death for our two families. I, Zhang Taichu, solemnly swear by Heavenly Dao Oath, no matter the future, West Desolate Sect shall be led by Zhang Jia, hence this time I hope Jia Daoist can deploy all spirit puppets!” Zhang Taichu arranged the matters of the Eastern Domain, now again turned towards the present.

For them, as long as Zhang Taiji breaks through Nascent Soul, they can continue expanding the oasis and possibly refine Spatial Jade, further erecting a teleportation array might not be impossible.

But the prerequisite was that they must eliminate all these external foes.

Successfully break through to Nascent Soul, and establish a sect in Desert Sea.

“They didn’t come at the first moment, probably just Golden Core cultivators, likely only five or six. With you and me, along with spirit puppets and my family’s Brother Taiji, there’s a chance of victory, even if they are somewhat complacent, it might be possible to lure them into a battle and annihilate them!” Zhang Taichu clenched his hand, signaling a gesture of complete extermination.

His eyes revealed fierce momentum.

At that moment, Jia Zehai nodded as well.

Listening to Zhang Taichu’s divination, it seemed Zhang Taiji hadn’t suffered severe backlash, perhaps not even injured.

The reason for feigning seclusion was likely to lure the opponent into attacking Longxing Oasis now.

Thus, with their Jia Family’s hidden trump, this crisis might be resolved smoothly!

Of course, these were merely his thoughts.

At this point, they had no other choice.

…

Hills Oasis, an ordinary oasis within the Desert Sea, the entire oasis wasn’t large, comparable to a sizable county in the Eastern Domain, named due to its location on a very high hill.

On the oasis’s outskirts, wooden walls were composed of ordinary sandthorn wood.

The sandthorn wood is evidently quite ordinary in the Desert Sea, with their dark trunks and thorny branches. They are not only drought-resistant but also have certain defense against beasts and insects.

Beyond the numerous sandthorn woods lies a ten-meter-high city wall made of golden-white sand stones.

Beyond the city walls, there are more groups of sandthorn woods, mixed with some other tall fir trees, all of which are drought-resistant spirit woods. Within the spirit woods are countless buildings where countless mortals reside; this is the outer city of the oasis.

Inside the outer city, there is the inner city.

The inner city is accessible only to cultivators and the nobility.

Nourished by the spirit vein, the inner city has a picturesque scenery comparable to the Eastern Domain.

The only difference might be the sun in the sky, which is slightly hotter.

At this moment, a middle-aged man is leading a camel towards the inner city.

Upon reaching the inner city, many mortal martial artists are guarding the city gates.

For them, Qi Refining cultivators can fly in directly on a sword; only mortals pass through the city gates, and mortals need either a noble’s token or a clan order from the Zhang and Jia Holy Race to enter.

“Halt, black man, do you have a token? How dare you rush inside?” Several robust martial artists wearing government uniforms immediately stopped the man.

As a precaution, they were slightly courteous.

“Sir!” Hearing the word sir, they instantly became arrogant.

With hands on hips, heads raised, brows furrowed, they exuded authority.

“Sir, I’m looking for the Immortal Master; there is a peculiar tree at home that seems to have Immortal Energy.”

“Immortal Energy? Do you know the consequences of deceiving an Immortal?” Hearing about the immortal tree, the aura they had gathered suddenly diminished somewhat.

Before they could ask properly, a figure flew down from the city wall.

“Take me to see it?” The person was dressed simply but in obviously extraordinary material, and came flying down, clearly a sure Immortal Master.

“Ancient Immortal Master!” Several mortal martial artists immediately bowed repeatedly.

The black man also prepared to bow, but was stopped by the words of the Ancient Immortal Master.

“No need, just take me there. But if you are lying, there happen to be a few souls missing in my duster!” The cultivator surnamed Gu repeatedly warned.

The black man nodded continuously and began to lead the camel.

“You can leave the camel here; no one will dare take it from you. If there really is an immortal tree, you can even reside in the inner city!” The cultivator surnamed Gu glared at those martial artists and then took out his flying sword.

Letting the black man also mount the flying sword, they headed toward a farmer’s house.

In no time, they arrived at the courtyard.

“Where is the tree?” The cultivator surnamed Gu was furious.

“Don’t be angry, Immortal Master; the immortal tree is in the room!” The black man repeatedly replied.

Just as the cultivator surnamed Gu was about to look, he found his neck suddenly unable to move.

A powerful hand was clutching his neck, bringing him into the room.

Suddenly, a terrifying Divine Sense invaded his mind.

A moment later, the cultivator surnamed Gu fell to the ground, his eyes becoming vacant.

This black man was naturally Ye Jingcheng in disguise, and the reason for disguising as a mortal was knowing that mortals here were similar to the Ye Family; if they had a spirit root, they either got married into the Zhang and Jia families or became gatekeeping cultivators or miners, living miserably and completely under the control of the two families.

For castle gate cultivators, they likely wouldn’t have the clan jade books and Divine Sense Ban Arrays of Zhang and Jia families.

It’s feasible to directly perform a Soul Search.

As a cultivator, he had a certain insight.

Through the Soul Search, he finally understood the general layout of the Desert Sea.

The Desert Sea is vast, comparable to the Yan Kingdom.

However, most of the land is desert, with limited oasis area.

The largest oasis is the Longxing Oasis, home to the Zhang and Jia families, which is a miracle of the last century in the Desert Sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles and being hundreds of times larger than the small hill oases.

Next are the four large oases; Yuanling Oasis, Poplar Oasis, West He Oasis, and Taiyuan Oasis.

Then there are hundreds of small oases like the hill oases.

Such small oases have cultivators with Foundation Establishment as the highest level; large oases have Purple Mansion cultivators as the highest; the biggest oasis Longxing Oasis has Golden Core cultivators as the highest, also known as Golden Core Saint Monarchs.

Of course, Saint Monarchs are just titles created by divine glorification by the Zhang and Jia families.

Four in number, very much as the Ye family had previously guessed.

Although Jia Zeyuan was already killed, Ye Jingcheng was prepared to face four or even five Golden Cores.

The Zhang and Jia families have been so enduring, having one extra Golden Core is normal for each.

Furthermore, there are Tier Four Spirit Puppets, a good strategy for breaking arrays must be devised.

Meanwhile, before attacking the Longxing Oasis, he must also digest the gains from this journey, and distribute the three magical treasures, to enhance combat power.

At this moment, as Ye Jingcheng was contemplating, he suddenly sensed the Beast Communication Pattern emit even purer Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy.

This scene made Ye Jingcheng instantly delighted, as it was clear the Red Flame Fox had broken through to Tier Four!

Becoming the Red Fox Demon King!
