Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Above Maple Ridge, countless maple leaves were falling, and various spiritual lights filled the entire sky, rendering the whole maple forest into chaos.

Seeing the gap in the array, three Golden Core cultivators from the Righteous Sect rushed inside eagerly.

Especially the Body Cultivator at the Golden Core Peak, his entire body covered in iron armor, emanated a formidable aura. In his hand were three Tiger Blades, with blade radiance thickly intense like a dazzling Silver Moon.

Even Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat apprehensive upon looking.

Of course, the reason these people were fighting so desperately was not really to save the ones inside.

It was because, over the past three months in the Earth Immortal Realm, almost everyone had made some gains. If they succeeded in killing their opponents, their opponents’ treasures would all fall into their hands.

Although some would be taken away upon leaving the Earth Immortal Realm, the rest would still be enough to justify the risk.

Moreover, with more cultivators from the Righteous Sect present, they held the advantage, and the danger was not great. With many monks here but little food, they naturally did not want to fall behind and let others take away the treasures.

Only Ye Jingcheng, after querying the details heard by the Jade Ring Rat, retracted the Blood Mother Sword, and approached Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang with a grave expression, initiating transmission.

”Prince Wang, there are ambushers outside!”

”My spirit rat is especially sensitive to sound. Though it cannot ascertain the cultivation of the concealed individuals, there are definitely more than three of them!”

Due to his identity and the Desert Sea Immortal Platform, Ye Jingcheng could not release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor nor Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan, at most releasing his three spirit beasts, which would not significantly impact the battle. The best approach was still to transmit to Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao.

Although these Mansion Masters seem to have ordinary cultivation, each one has deep foundations, with strong life-saving capabilities and backing. Being close to them also means greater safety for Ye Jingcheng.

Moreover, last time when facing Zhang Zhiqiu, Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao did not abandon him, which is why Ye Jingcheng trusts them.

”Alright, I understand!” Prince Wang swept his divine sense over Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Ring Rat, then looked towards the direction of the Celestial Demon Sect’s array, only to see that the Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator had already perished at the hands of the Golden Core Peak Body Cultivator, True Master Hei Yan.

The other six people drew closer and began to shrink the array without any intention to escape.

Yet, the hidden enemies still hadn’t struck, causing him also to gaze up towards the sky.

Perhaps this time, the target was not these Golden Core cultivators, but the Nascent Souls above.

Realizing this, Prince Wang could not help but break out in a cold sweat, repeatedly transmitting to Xu Huai True Monarch.

This Xu Huai True Monarch is an elder of his; if something were to happen to him, their Wang Family’s lineage in the Righteous Sect might decline.

Receiving a transmission response from Xu Huai True Monarch eased Prince Wang’s mind, and he regarded Ye Jingcheng with a gaze full of appreciation.

After all, had it not been for Ye Jingcheng’s warning, they might not have realized it until the end.

Divine sense within the Earth Immortal Realm is inherently suppressed, even Nascent Soul cultivators’ divine sense is severely hindered.

Some concealed treasures can exhibit increased effectiveness in the Earth Immortal Realm than outside.

Concealing some cultivators is also somewhat easier.

”Break the array, everyone must not hold back. Rewarding a Tier Four Golden Yuan Pill for each kill!” Prince Wang again transmitted to the others.

If there are ambushers, they cannot actively rush out of the ambush circle. The best method is, before those ambushers strike, to eliminate as much of the demon cultivator’s power as possible.

Thus, even if escaping...

The pursuers would be fewer.

With the opening words of Prince Wang, all eighteen Golden Core cultivators took out at least two magical treasures each, various secret techniques, and spirit talismans; coupled with the torn array, the pressure on the Celestial Demon Sect side surged immediately, and the illusionary spirit shadows formed by the array kept being beaten into dispersal.

”Qianchen Daoist, please do not hide it either, if it’s necessary to escape, I will warn you!” Subsequently, Prince Wang transmitted individually to Ye Jingcheng.

Following Prince Wang’s transmission, Ye Jingcheng also nodded.

Speaking so, he also released the Red Flame Fox and the Golden Scale Beast, these two beasts had already shown themselves before, Ye Jingcheng naturally could not conceal them further.

He now roughly understood Prince Wang’s intention, which seemed the best response plan, since until now they were unclear about the cultivation, the numbers of hidden enemies, or the situation within the Secret Realm regarding demon cultivators.

As the Red Flame Fox and Golden Scale Beast flew out, the former’s five tails moved together, causing a fire furnace to descend, pouring onto the array, making it turbulent again, while the latter’s gravity spiritual light descended, covering several cultivators along with the falling Earth Qilin Hall.

Countless shards burst forth from the array, evidently it was about to shatter.

The demon cultivators inside urgently activated various secret techniques to remedy.

But how could Prince Wang and Mansion Master Xiao let them successfully remedy?

A golden bronze bell began to ring, the golden ripple spiritual sound fell over, causing three demon cultivators to clutch their heads on the spot, and then the Eight-Treasure Compass emerged along with Mansion Master Xiao’s cyan spirit ruler.

The array was completely shattered, and six figures fled in panic.

Ye Jingcheng took the opportunity to send out a flying sword, also killing another Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator, retrieving his storage bag along with it.

The remaining few, two more fell to their demise.

”Quickly exit the Secret Realm!” The individual controlling the array at this moment had an arm severed by the cyan great ruler, face full of pain and anguish, couldn’t help but shout angrily towards the Secret Realm entrance!

Immediately, spiritual light flickered at the Secret Realm entrance, and over twenty Golden Core cultivators emerged in succession.

These Golden Core cultivators, some carrying a cyan coffin, some holding a Demon Banner, or having red eyes, emanated overwhelming demonic energy.

…

And almost simultaneously with Ye Jingcheng and others taking action, changes also happened in the sky between Xu Huai True Monarch and True Monarch Mo Gong confronting each other.

Xu Huai True Monarch summoned the Three-Color Profound Origin Compass, transforming it into three-colored spiritual light that enveloped True Monarch Mo Gong. Even the True Monarch Mo Gong had to activate a secret technique, turning into a stream of blood light to escape.

The direction of his escape was slightly off from the Secret Realm Entrance.

Xu Huai True Monarch couldn’t help but pursue.

But this pursuit made a look of joy appear on True Monarch Mo Gong’s face.

He suddenly stopped, drew his bow and released arrows. However, unlike before, he shot four arrows in different directions instead of at Xu Huai True Monarch.

The four arrows immediately linked with spiritual light mid-air, eventually forming an array that shrouded Xu Huai True Monarch within it.

In the distance, five figures emerged, all arriving with joy!

Among them, two emitted the aura of Nascent Souls, and three were at the Golden Core Peak.

The five together charged toward Xu Huai True Monarch.

”Xu Huai, who would’ve thought it would be you bringing yourself to die!” One of the figures spoke with laughter.

The array upon the four arrows was named the Four Demons Heaven-Trapping Array. Each arrow was forged from Demon-Sealing Stone and engraved with array patterns, even at the level of a Tier Five Array, it was by no means weak.

At this moment, even though the opponent was at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, they were confident in killing him here.

Sure enough, as the array activated, True Monarch Mo Gong drew his bow, True Monarch Qing Sha unleashed Sha Burst Divine Techniques, and True Monarch of Heaven Demon performed Celestial Demon Devouring Moon Divine Techniques.

But as all the divine techniques fell, that figure dispersed like spiritual light.

”Not good, it’s the Tier Five True Essence Substitute Tribulation Talisman refined by Divine Monarch Zheng Yuan!” The leading Qing Sha Monarch’s face changed drastically.

”Everyone be careful!” Qing Sha Monarch’s expression changed once more, and he drew an iron shield from his hand.

But it was already too late. Suddenly, Xu Huai True Monarch appeared behind True Monarch Mo Gong, a huge bead appearing in his hand.

This bead, like a bright moon, was dazzling, captivating even True Monarch Mo Gong’s heart and spirit, causing the other two Nascent Souls to be momentarily stunned as well.

And in that moment of daze, Xu Huai True Monarch’s hand transformed into a massive claw, reaching toward the body of True Monarch Mo Gong.

With that grab, a Nascent Soul fled in panic, covering a distance of several hundred feet in an instant.

After pausing, the figure continued to fly, dodging a considerable distance.

”Hmm, the Nascent Soul wasn’t in the Dantian!” Xu Huai True Monarch was also momentarily stunned, then filled with regret.

However, before he could continue to show relief, his expression changed drastically, as he saw True Monarch Mo Gong’s corpse suddenly emanate red and green light.

This red and green light spread too quickly and soon enveloped him.

Being too close, he couldn’t react in time, and his Protective Spirit Shield quickly dissipated, with most of the red-green light falling on him.

Evidently, True Monarch Mo Gong’s arrows were not only poisoned, but his physical body was covered in lethal poison as well.

If his physical body was killed, the poison inflicted severe suffering, while his Nascent Soul could escape with ease.

”Old Daoist Xu Huai, you even brought the Bright Moon Bead, no wonder you were so confident, but your mistake was choosing to kill Junior Brother Mo Gong!” True Monarch Qing Sha looked as if he had just escaped death.

This Bright Moon Bead was an Ancient Treasure of the Righteous Sect, capable of enchanting even cultivators with higher cultivation than its owner through its Bright Moon Illusion Realm.

If Xu Huai True Monarch hadn’t killed True Monarch Mo Gong and instead targeted anyone else, unless they trapped Xu Huai True Monarch again using the array, the danger would’ve been significantly greater.

At that moment, a true farce might have unfolded.

But now, Xu Huai True Monarch fell victim to True Monarch Mo Gong’s Transforming Essence Worm Gu Powder.

With the poison assaulting his heart, Xu Huai True Monarch would likely find it extremely difficult to even activate a magical treasure, let alone an ancient treasure requiring even more True Essence.

”Everyone, flee!” Xu Huai True Monarch shot a Spirit Arrow towards the Secret Realm Entrance.

The entrance, originally guarded, was torn apart by the Spirit Arrow, expanding several times.

Simultaneously, figures from the Righteous Sect emerged, survivors from within the Secret Realm. Among them, two Mansion Masters and a young cultivator were the quickest, almost bursting with the aura of Nascent Soul Cultivators, fleeing far ahead.

Compared to the supporting cultivators, the escapees were even faster.

After them, Ye Jingcheng also saw Feng Daoran and several Golden Cores he had met at a trade fair, also escaping.

Feng Daoran, relying on his Three-headed Lion, disregarded injuries to ensure its escape.

”Escape!” At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also realized that if even Xu Huai True Monarch might not save himself, it was time for him to escape. Seeing Lady He considering approaching the Secret Realm Entrance, he repeatedly urged her to retreat.

In that moment, the Righteous Sect cultivators scattered like birds and beasts.

He also saw Mansion Master Wang and Mansion Master Xiao gathering with the three escapees, extinguishing his initial urge to follow.

If he guessed correctly, those three from the Righteous Sect must be carrying shocking treasures, which was likely why Xu Huai True Monarch risked supporting despite the danger.

He estimated that the ones pursuing the Mansion Masters would also be the strongest.

Immediately, he dared not continue pursuing, choosing instead to flee in the opposite direction.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng had planned his escape well, was not at the forefront, and with the activation of the Celestial Illusion Robe, along with two phantom decoys, he executed the Soul-Devouring Blood Escape technique to its fullest.
