Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 201: An Accident (Thanks to book friend 2938 for the 5000 coin reward)

The continuous rainy season made the entire sky even more gloomy.

Ye Xinghe's expression also made Ye Jingcheng feel a bad premonition.

“Jingfeng and Xingyu are in trouble. They were responsible for transporting the spiritual herbs this time!” Ye Xinghe said after a long silence.

His face showed some grief.

And also heartache.

Most of the Ye family's spiritual herbs were sent from Lingyun Peak, and each transport was basically done by two people.

This way, the target was smaller, and the selection of people and time were not fixed, in order to prevent some rogue cultivators from taking risks and attacking the Ye family's spiritual herb transporters.

The Ye family had been implementing this strategy for nearly a hundred years.

Ye Jingfeng was not only at the eighth level of Qi training, but also had a black-horned rhinoceros in terms of spirit beasts, and was also a spirit talisman master. Not to mention Ye Xingyu, who was also at the eighth level of Qi training, with two first-tier late-stage spirit beasts.

Logically speaking, as long as the two of them acted discreetly, there would never be any problems.

But now both of their jade slips were shattered, without any warning, and they didn't even cast a spirit spell before they died.

Either the opponent was a Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator, or it was another family.

The most suspicious of these were the Li family and the Chen family. Besides them, the Xu family and the Mo family were also possible.

But if the spiritual herbs were not delivered, the Ye family would not be able to refine enough pills, which the Li family would be most happy to see.

“Uncle, are there any clues?” Ye Jingcheng also looked solemn. Ye Jingfeng and he had even competed on the same stage in a Qi training competition.

“No, from the moment the fluctuations were detected in the jade slip to its shattering, there were only less than five breaths of time, and the spirit beast imprints have also returned to the family's spirit beast tower. The spirit beasts sacrificed themselves together!” Ye Xinghe shook his head.

Ye Jingcheng frowned deeply. This crisis was either caused by an inside line in the family, or by a dedicated Foundation Establishment cultivator targeting the road to the market. Either way, it was extremely unfavorable to the Ye family.

The most feared were these hidden cultivators, after all, spiritual herbs were delivered almost once a month to every three months. It was impossible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a second-tier spirit beast to escort them every time.

“Uncle, it might be directed at me!” Ye Jingcheng said again after a long time.

At this time, he somewhat hoped that it was done by the Li family. With the Li family's current strength, the only ones who could do it were Li Yufu and Li Muhe. Even newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators could definitely not kill Ye Jingfeng within five breaths.

What he feared was the Xu family and the Mo family. It was highly possible for them to send out a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator.

And by then, even if he wanted to design a plan to lure the enemy, he would have to consider whether he could win.

“Uncle, does the family have any countermeasures?” Ye Jingcheng asked after hesitating for a while.

“A preliminary strategy is in place, but it requires your cooperation!”

“What the family wants to ask is, in case of an emergency, can you hold off a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator for three breaths of time!” Ye Xinghe said.

The meaning of this sentence was very obvious, which was to use Ye Jingcheng as bait.

In all likelihood, the enemy would not ambush a second time, but given the high probability and frequency, the Ye family could not guard the delivery of spiritual herbs every time. The most crucial thing was that Ye Xingliu had gone to Jade Dragon Valley again!

Therefore, no matter who guarded it, it might expose the Ye family.

“If you can't hold them off, the risk will be great, and the family will change the plan!” Ye Xinghe continued.

“Most likely it is Li Muhe, Foundation Establishment mid-stage, but we can't guarantee whether he has broken through to Foundation Establishment late-stage!”

“The family will provide the Lizard Duke, the second-tier Blood Hawk, and the Turtle Ancestor. In addition, all the gains this time will belong to you!”

“Let's try it once!” Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a long time, but still nodded.

If he only had the Lizard Duke and the Blood Hawk, he would still hesitate, but with the Turtle Ancestor, he was not worried.

After all, the Turtle Ancestor was a third-tier early-stage spirit beast, and also had a spatial cave. Even if he couldn't win, he could take him into the space and escape from then on.

Of course, Ye Xinghe's words about whether he could hold them off for a few breaths was also something he had to consider.

“Uncle, wait for me for two months!” Ye Jingcheng said again.

In two months, the Golden Scale Beast would likely break through, and in addition, the Tricolor Cloud Deer could also break through.

Of course, during these days, he also needed to cultivate the Heaven Soul Art to improve his divine soul.

Sometimes, cultivators were instantly killed because their divine souls were too weak, and they were caught in illusions or other secret techniques.

Ye Jingcheng had to guard against this.

Otherwise, before he could release the Turtle Ancestor, he might be killed by soul-destroying needles or similar treasures.

At this moment, he happened to have two Jade Soul Pills, and also had one remaining three-hundred-year-old Jade Soul Fruit, which he could use to start another furnace.

As for the family extracting 30% of the spiritual pills, Ye Jingcheng could only replenish them to the family in terms of other spiritual pills.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng felt some regret again. His divine soul was still too weak. Otherwise, if his divine soul could reach close to Foundation Establishment late-stage, he could perform soul splitting and gain two more lives.

The only thing to fear was that there might be no treasure book for soul splitting at that time.

“Okay, then I'll send a message to the family!” Ye Xinghe obviously had a treasure that could transmit messages to the family from a distance. Ye Jingcheng nodded upon seeing this.

Ye Xinghe took a few steps, and then did not forget to remind him.

“Jingcheng, pay attention these days. As for the spiritual herbs, I will go to the Xu family to buy them and last for two months!”

Then he entered his own house and closed the door tightly.

Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Xinghe's broad back and felt relieved.

Although the family used him as bait this time, the family also used all their strength on the surface to protect him.

He was now the Ye family's third strongest on the surface.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng also reflected that he was too high-profile at the auction.

Plus his actions in the market these days, it was normal for others to want to kill him.

Afterwards, Ye Jingcheng also entered the house and began feeding the Crimson Flame Fox, Five Poison Bee, and Jade Kirin Snake.

After feeding them, he began to close his eyes and study the Heaven Soul Art.

Since he planned to have this battle, he had to go all out.

Even the Jade Ring Rat had improved its treatment this time.

Each time, it could have a Green Spirit Pill plus a Nurturing Spirit Pill, and it often ate spirit beast meat. Its ears became larger and more jade-like.

It seemed to finally have signs of breakthrough.

Which surprised Ye Jingcheng a bit.

And that night, everyone in the Ye family gathered at a table. Today's dinner was not lavish, nor was it bleak. Ye Xinghong made a large table of spirit meals. There was no tea on the table, only wine.

Azure Wave Wine!

And this time, two empty seats were specially left.

Those younger Jing generation were somewhat puzzled, but they did not dare to ask seeing Ye Xinghe's slightly angry face.

They could only look at Ye Jingyun, who had the spirit beast imprint, so he knew about this matter this time.

But after such an incident, all the routes from Ye family's Lingyun Peak to Ye family's shops had been changed within a day. At the same time, cultivators in the family without spirit beast imprints would also receive more or less surveillance.

Ye Jingyun naturally would not say it at this time.

“Everyone, pay attention, don't leave the market in recent days. Even if you leave the shop door, you must report it. Some rogue cultivators have appeared!” Near the end of the meal, Ye Xinghe finally spoke.
