Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

His magical treasures and secret techniques can temporarily alter memories. If a soul search reveals them, then fine, if not, memories can be fabricated as well.

With that, he signaled to the other two and then reached out towards Ye Jingyun.

Ye Jingyun, at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, could not escape no matter how hard he tried.

The gap between Nascent Soul and Foundation Establishment is simply too vast, even if the Nascent Soul cultivator casually forms a Spiritual Energy Palm.

“If you willingly lift the soul ban today, and the Ye Family proves not to be involved with the Beast Desolate Wasteland, I will naturally ensure justice for the Ye Family!” True Monarch Beihai’s voice was full of temptation.

To lift a soul ban, finding the Clan Jade Book is enough.

But in most cases, one cannot find the Clan Jade Book before killing all the cultivators.

True Monarch Beihai was merely trying, but his hands did not stop moving.

“Beihai Old Demon, you’re going too far!” True Monarch Zi Ming unleashed a finger technique, violet light bursting forth, resembling the finger of a celestial god.

It was about to break through True Monarch Beihai’s Spiritual Energy Palm.

However, True Monarch Qingling unleashed the Cyan Lotus Seal, blocking that finger.

True Monarch Baiyu was also stationed in the front.

At this moment, a Celestial Blade descended, slicing through True Monarch Beihai’s Spiritual Energy Palm with a single stroke.

“So, when did Qinghe Sect rise to an Immortal Sect, to even act against the affiliated forces of other sects?” Tian Dao True Monarch took a step forward, and for a moment, everyone felt as if they were in the Celestial Blade World, surrounded by Spiritual Sabers.

Ye Jingyun and the others felt their hairs stand on end, even though no one was attacking them.

But at this moment, they already felt immense pressure.

Tian Dao True Monarch, though appearing as a robust elder, seemed like a god of death at this moment.

The Sword Intent persisted endlessly.

Although True Monarch Beihai was at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he was clearly not a match for the seasoned middle-stage Nascent Soul Tian Dao True Monarch.

The other had the Celestial Blade Nine Techniques, which once slayed Outer Heaven Demons.

“Tian Dao Daoist, what do you mean by this? I’m merely executing the orders of the Immortal Sect, you’re the one defying them!” True Monarch Beihai was somewhat apprehensive facing Tian Dao True Monarch.

In terms of lineage, he and True Monarch Qinghe were of the same generation, in terms of power, the other was also a seasoned middle-stage Nascent Soul.

The most crucial thing is, he feared that Tian Dao True Monarch might engage in a self-destructive duel with him.

That would be very troublesome, as Tian Dao True Monarch’s sword technique could burn essence blood, known to cut lifespan with lifespan, and he naturally dared not attempt it.

After all, Tian Dao True Monarch already had limited time, whereas he had over a thousand years of life left.

“If it’s executing orders, it should still adhere to rules, using the Spirit Inquiry Talisman and letting all Ye Clan members come out and answer. If the Beast Desolate Wasteland is truly involved, they can hand over the treasures. How will you explain it if no Exotic Treasures are found in your soul search?” Upon hearing this, True Monarch Beihai subconsciously glanced at True Monarch Zi Ming.

In his view, the Beast Desolate Wasteland had no Secret Treasures, so naturally, the treasures were in the Taiyi Sect’s hands.

He had considered this point, after all, the Taiyi Sect showed traces of Celestial Desolate inheritance, getting the legendary Spirit Treasure was quite possible.

“Ye Jingyun, call out all Ye Clan members, this time I shall set up the Spirit Inquiry Array!” True Monarch Zi Ming declared.

Ye Jingyun looked undecided but nodded and began transmitting messages.

The remaining fifty or so people from Lingyun Peak gathered at the plaza.

“Why are there only this many people?” True Monarch Beihai’s expression was even more displeased.

After all, the Ye Family is a Purple Mansion Clan, and even as a newly established Purple Mansion Clan, they should have two to three hundred people.

“True Monarch, our Ye Family found a Secret Realm in the Taihang Mountain Range, and are currently investigating it. Moreover, Patriarch Ye Jing Hu has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and is traveling in the Yan Kingdom to temper his mind!” Ye Jingyun addressed True Monarch Zi Ming rather than responding to True Monarch Beihai.

“Is he telling the truth?” True Monarch Beihai wasn’t angry but turned to a mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivator next to him.

“Yes, because of the Secret Realm, our Ye Family’s stipends have increased, and we are encouraging childbirth…” That cultivator seemed a bit nervous, his eyes appearing even more sunken with exhaustion.

True Monarch Beihai saw this and fell silent, his face growing gloomier.

“Continue to call them!” True Monarch Zi Ming urged.

Ye Jingyun and the others then began summoning cultivators one by one.

Once all the cultivators were at the plaza, True Monarch Baiyu spoke again:

“There are still quite a few people?” True Monarch Baiyu’s gaze fixated on the middle of Lingyun Peak.

There were still several in seclusion there.

“Elder, these clan members are in seclusion to breakthrough, disturbing them now…” Ye Jingyun appeared troubled and also looked to True Monarch Zi Ming.

“A few people missing doesn’t matter…”

However, before the words were finished, True Monarch Baiyu suddenly took a step.

The entire peak rumbled, and the Arrays on the mountain were shattered, breaking to pieces as the Array Banners were shaken apart.

Several Ye Family cultivators woke up vomiting blood, and one even died outright.

Ye Xingqun’s face darkened, a sign of cultivation technique deviation and possession.

Ye Jingli couldn’t control himself anymore and wanted to rush forward.

But he was flicked away like a sandbag by the other’s finger.

After Ye Jingli fell, True Monarch Beihai finally spoke:

“Don’t rush, if it’s truly the Beast Desolate Wasteland, I will make sure you die swiftly!”

“I’ll call them!” Ye Jingyun, filled with humiliation and anger, bit his lip and transmitted messages to Ye Xingqun and others.

Once all Lingyun Peak cultivators were at the plaza.

True Monarch Zi Ming then set up the Spirit Inquiry Array.

“Tian Dao Daoist is the eldest, so let him question first!” True Monarch Beihai, out of character, looked at Tian Dao True Monarch, seemingly eager to know his intention.

“Hmm!” Tian Dao True Monarch remained expressionless, directly looking at Ye Jingyun.

“Which lineage does your Ye Family come from?”

“Elder Tian Dao, this junior belongs to the Jing Generation under Jing Yun. Before the Jing Generation, there were the Generations Qi, Sheng, Xue, Hai, Star, established by Ancestor Qishan. Each generation spans over forty years, and Ancestor Qishan was a famous loose cultivator in the Yan Kingdom in his early years…” Ye Jingyun spoke without a hitch.

The Eight Desolates Sect was exterminated seven or eight hundred years ago, and the Ye Family’s generations only reach back three hundred years, clearly not matching.

With Ye Jingyun’s answer, Tian Dao True Monarch asked no further questions.

Since the outer Spirit Inquiry Talismans remained inactive.

“Before this, did you ever use a soul ban to seal memories?” This time True Monarch Beihai questioned Ye Jingli.

Evidently, he noticed Ye Jingli’s impulsiveness.

“Is there even a way to seal memories in this world?” Ye Jingli appeared puzzled, but soon recalled True Monarch Beihai’s deeds and replied angrily.

“Disturbing someone’s seclusion, I too hope for such a day for you!”

True Monarch Beihai showed no concern for Ye Jingli’s insults and looked again at Ye Xingqun.

“Has the Ye Family ever had hidden forces, or rare Purple Mansion or Golden Core cultivators?”

Ye Xingqun had also taken a Forget Dust Pill and had no memories of the Inner Hall of the Ye Family. At this moment, his memories were similar to the Ye Family’s Outer Hall cultivators, so he naturally shook his head.

“No, currently the Ye Family has only one Purple Mansion. Originally, my elder was in the Purple Mansion, but was killed by the Jin and Kong Families’ Purple Mansion members!” Ye Xingqun’s face also showed anger and helplessness.

“Alright, we’ve questioned enough.” True Monarch Zi Ming said.

True Monarch Baiyu interrupted directly.

“If memory alterations can’t reveal the truth, just ask how many cultivators were on Lingyun Peak that day and what they were doing. Verify with everyone present, as altered memories usually target key information, while simple memories might be changed to something else.”

“Surely, as cultivators, we should remember how many people are on Lingyun Peak. If not, it only means that some figures have been erased in secret, doesn’t it?” True Monarch Baiyu articulated each word.

Even making True Monarch Zi Ming and Tian Dao True Monarch’s expressions change.

“Beihai Daoist, you decide the date and distinguish between the core and non-core cultivators of the Ye Family, then tally the numbers and the specific events will become clear!”

“For instance, if someone’s memory states that Ye Jingyun was discussing matters with others and activated an Isolation Array, but Ye Jingyun’s memory shows he was in seclusion…”

“Exactly!” True Monarch Beihai exclaimed excitedly.

Altering memories to change the major is simple, but to alter every minor detail is truly challenging.

With the Spirit Inquiry Talismans, it’s the best method of discernment.

After all, cultivators have photographic memories!
