Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

After settling Yu Ling down, Ye Jingcheng walked out of the array formation and found that the sky had once again turned gloomy.

Fine, continuous raindrops fell sparsely in the void, tracing arcs with the breeze before landing on the grass, trees, and mountains.

Unknowingly, it was spring again.

Mystic Puppet True Lord and Jiang Daorong approached simultaneously, their expressions somewhat complicated. Compared to their previous joy, their eyes were now filled with worry.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, the Demonic Path has announced a full-scale invasion. The Nantian, Nanman, and Nanxuan provinces have been activated, and there are already over twenty known Core Formation cultivators. Governor Liu is summoning us," Mystic Puppet True Lord Jiang Daorong said. Initially, they thought it was just the Nanman province launching a large-scale attack, which would at least keep the situation within their control, especially with the Heavenly Sand Sect's combat power far exceeding their expectations.

But now, with all three provinces involved, and the possibility of Nascent Soul cultivators and Demon Lords arriving from the Southern Domain, the situation was different.

Moreover, the Southern Domain was full of poisonous insects and venomous gu, with mysterious and unpredictable methods, making it much more difficult to deal with than the simple Nascent Soul demonic cultivators of the Nanman province.

"Alright, the nearest teleportation array should be in Qingyue Market, right?" Ye Jingcheng nodded. He had actually learned some things through the family token, so his face was also filled with worry.

Although he had never witnessed the true strength of the Profound Heaven Demonic Path, its ability to be on par with Penglai meant its strength was definitely not weak. Most importantly, the current juncture was also the time when the Eastern Domain might erupt in war.

If battles broke out on both sides, the Ye family would have to defend against enemies from both directions, naturally increasing the pressure.

He even suspected that the Profound Heaven Demonic Path's primary target might be to eliminate the Ye family.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng wanted to return to Xiaoshan Prefecture as soon as possible to assess the situation. If the situation deteriorated, some sacrifices would have to be made, such as entrusting the construction of teleportation arrays connecting the Central Domain and Zhao State to the orthodox sects, and evacuating all the cultivators from the Eastern Domain.

"Go to Moon King Mountain nearby; there's a Jiang family teleportation array there," Jiang Daorong said again.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng and Mystic Puppet True Lord both nodded.

They knew of Moon King Mountain, but they didn't know there was a Jiang family teleportation array there.

This distance was not far, much closer than the teleportation array in Qingyue Prefecture's market.

…

Xiaoshan Prefecture, Demon Suppression City. The city walls were now built higher, and more array formations were in place.

The city walls were densely packed with cultivators, as gloomy as the sky.

In addition to the initial Golden Core and Nascent Soul forces, at this moment, all the Foundation Establishment and above forces from the entire Xiaoshan Prefecture, Tianshu Prefecture, and many other prefectures were conscripted.

In the distance, the sky was filled with spirit boats from various families and sects arriving continuously.

On the city wall where the Ye family stood, Ye Jinghu and Ye Haiyan were also present, staring blankly at the distant sky.

"Uncle Jinghu, the family's array formations have all been set up and checked once," a Yun generation clansman approached and reported to Ye Jinghu and Ye Haiyan.

Although Ye Haiyan was of higher seniority, Ye Jinghu had a higher cultivation level and was currently the highest commander of the Ye family in Demon Suppression City.

"Thank you for your hard work. Have all the family's clansmen prepare their spirit beasts as well," Ye Jinghu nodded.

Ye Jingcheng had told him that regardless of old or new grudges, the Ghost Xuan Sect would definitely target the Ye family, and the Profound Heaven Demonic Path might also be influenced by the Penglai Demonic Path. Therefore, the Ye family's crisis this time might be unprecedented.

If they didn't prepare in advance, they might suffer great losses.

In such a chaotic battle, it wouldn't really be just Golden Cores against Golden Cores, or Violet Palaces against Violet Palaces.

The Ye family's greatest advantage was spirit insects and spirit beasts, and there was no need to hide them now.

If Penglai and Profound Heaven still didn't know that the Heavenly Sand Sect was the Ye family of Yan Country in the Eastern Domain, then they wouldn't deserve to be called immortal sects.

"Everything is ready," the clansman also nodded.

"I'll go take a look," Ye Haiyan was still a little worried. The Ye family had suffered many losses from carelessness, and as a Ye family elder, he naturally had to be more cautious.

Ye Jinghu nodded upon hearing this, cupping his hands again:

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Haiyan."

As Ye Haiyan left, Ye Jinghu suddenly saw several figures approaching swiftly in the distance.

Ye Jinghu smiled; the person leading them was Ye Jingting.

Ye Yunxuan was already in seclusion; currently, the person with the highest attainment in crafting ordinary spirit talismans was Ye Jingting.

Beside Ye Jingting, Xiao Shaen also followed.

"Brother Jinghu, Shaoen wants to join our family's outer sect as a guest elder," Ye Jingting said.

Xiao Shaen nodded beside her, also speaking:

"Senior Lei Hu, naturally this junior didn't know your identity before, perhaps I have neglected you, I hope senior will forgive me."

After experiencing the dramatic changes in his family, his beloved, and these past ten years, Xiao Shaen had become more steady and mature.

He knew that the Xiao family hadn't been completely exterminated because Ye Jinghu and Ye Jingting had spoken well of them; otherwise, let alone changing prefectures, even changing provinces, their Xiao family might not have been able to keep many people alive.

But the Ye family not only didn't make things difficult, but even allowed many core Qi Refining and mortal descendants of the Xiao family to leave after a long time without any trouble.

In these past ten years, he had also broken through to the late stage of the Violet Palace Realm.

"Perform well; the competition in the Ye family's Outer Affairs Hall isn't bad either. Perhaps the family's first Golden Core from the Outer Affairs Hall will fall on you," Ye Jinghu understood Xiao Shaen and knew his feelings for Ye Jingting, so he nodded and praised him.

Of course, his words weren't entirely polite. There were many people in the Ye family who were forming Golden Cores now, but there really wasn't a Golden Core from an outside clan yet. In the future, the Ye family would definitely need a role model.

However, this required Xiao Shaen to at least show some merit.

His spirit talismans were far from enough; after all, the Ye family not only looked at ability and skill, but also at loyalty.

Xiao Shaen was naturally very loyal to Ye Jingting now, but his loyalty to the Ye family would need to be seen in his actions and performance in the future.

"Then I'll take Brother Hu's auspicious words," Ye Jingting said with a smile, while taking out a storage bag and handing it to Ye Jinghu.

"This is all the spirit talismans crafted by the Talisman Hall, including two pseudo-fourth-order spirit talismans, twenty-four third-order high-grade spirit talismans, thirty-five third-order middle-grade spirit talismans…"

"These pseudo-fourth-order spirit talismans are…" Ye Jinghu was a little surprised.

"They are fourth-order Destruction Heavenly Fire Spirit Talismans. Their power may not reach the level of fourth-order secret techniques, but with the help of some special beast fire, they barely reach fourth-order power. These were crafted by Shaoen," Ye Jingting introduced with a smile.

"Good, continue crafting. If you make a great contribution this time, I'll give you some Ye family spirit talisman inheritances to look at," Ye Jinghu also nodded repeatedly, still very happy.

Although he had three fourth-order demon king spirit beasts and a fourth-order spirit puppet, not counting Ye Jingcheng, the Golden Core combat power was still too low.

Ye Yunxi had to stay in Wangqing Prefecture, so she couldn't come here at the moment, so he was the only one here.

Now, it was naturally good news to have more fourth-order spirit talismans to give some Violet Palace clansmen as trump cards.

Seeing Ye Jinghu so happy, Xiao Shaen also showed a smile. At least for now, he was useful.

He thought of the Xiao family's suppression of the Ye family in the past, and at that time, the Ye family was already a Golden Core force.

It was just that the Ye family had never bothered to pursue it.

"They're here!" Suddenly, with a commotion, all the cultivators on the entire city stood up, their spiritual senses wantonly sweeping forward.

Ye Jinghu and the other Ye family members couldn't help but look over.

They saw billowing black smoke and countless black insects and corpse puppets surging towards them from the distance, blotting out the sky and sun, making people's scalps tingle.

A horn sound, as if from the Netherworld, reverberated, making everyone's minds feel as if scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood were unfolding before their eyes.

"Ghost Xuan Sect, Old Demon Xiao, Five Poison Sect, Union Joy Sect…"

The names of the Profound Heaven Demonic Path's powerful affiliated forces were called out, making everyone's tense emotions even more intense.

Moreover, these forces had gathered almost all the Nascent Soul forces of the Nanman three provinces, which was much more prepared than the Nanhuang Province. Here.

Among them, there were currently fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators whose presence was visible, but this was only the vanguard; there would definitely be more demonic cultivators behind them.
