Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Lingyun Peak: Accompanied by countless streaks of light, the mist array outside gradually dissipated.

Many cultivators descended from the sky and then walked up the mountain, Ye Jingcheng included.

Along the way, the fragrance of flowers and tea wafted through the mountains, carried by the spring breeze to their nostrils.

The tinkling of streams cascaded from the mountaintop, with the sound of ice crystals shattering.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Ye Jingcheng's six senses were far sharper than before.

He could even feel the revival of the entire Lingyun Peak.

There were also many clansmen on the road, returning from several counties underground. Some cultivators were overjoyed, while others looked solemn.

Ye Jingcheng understood this. After all, many mortal towns had been destroyed by demons, and many mortals had died.

However, Ye Jingcheng also knew that this was a necessary sacrifice. Moreover, in the towns and counties in front of Lingyun Peak, the Ye family's direct descendants accounted for relatively few.

Ye Jingcheng then sighed. The world of cultivation was so cruel sometimes.

For the Ye family, they had accepted a higher starting point than ordinary families, and at the same time, they would bear some things that other families did not.

They moved quickly and soon arrived at the council hall.

At this moment, the array formations in the council hall were fully activated, looking like they were preparing for a major event, with several cultivators guarding the area.

"Eleventh Brother, Xuan Dao Zhenren and Miaofa Zhenren are being received inside," a clansman of the Jing generation said.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, then took out a jade slip and sent a message inside.

Then he waited there.

"Jingcheng, come in!" Soon, Ye Haicheng's voice echoed in his ears.

Ye Jingcheng quickly entered.

This time, the reception was held on the third floor of the council hall.

Due to the family's promotion to a Violet Palace family, the number of floors in the council hall had increased to three, and the beast carvings on it had also become more elaborate.

This reception for the two Zhenren was indeed on the third floor.

At this moment, the doors to the meeting room were not closed, leaving a gap for one person to pass through.

Ye Jingcheng walked in through the gap and saw two middle-aged Taoist cultivators with solemn expressions sitting in the main seats.

One glance was enough to feel an invisible pressure.

Ye Haicheng, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Xingliu were sitting in the secondary seats, while Tianzhen Shangren, Mingyuan Shangren, and Taihao Shangren were on the right.

"Jingcheng greets the two Zhenren!" Ye Jingcheng bowed directly without needing to be reminded.

Ye Jingcheng had seen the portraits of the Taiyi Sect's Zhenren in the family's records.

So he was not unfamiliar with them, including the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Taiyi Sect, whose portraits were kept in various families.

This was to prevent the clansmen from neglecting the Zhenren or True Monarchs.

"Not bad, sit down!" Xuan Dao Zhenren said. Although he didn't want to admit it, as a Zhenren of Taiyi Illusion Peak, he was naturally considered half a host here.

Ye Jingcheng also sat down below Ye Jingyu. Although he was full of doubts at the moment, he didn't say anything.

Miaofa Zhenren took the lead and looked at Ye Haicheng, then at Ye Xingliu, and finally at Ye Jingyu.

"This beast tide is extremely strange. I want to ask about the situation you understand!"

"Let Jingcheng start!" Compared to Xuan Dao Zhenren, Miaofa Zhenren was more serious at the moment, and his long face made the pressure and aura even more suffocating.

Most importantly, Miaofa Zhenren's Taiyi Violet Peak was the backing of the Mo family and the Chu family.

Ye Jingcheng's expression didn't change much on the surface, but his mind was already full of thoughts.

He knew that he couldn't say anything wrong this time, and he couldn't even look at Ye Xingliu and the others.

He couldn't even lie. Xuan Dao Zhenren was at least from Taiyi Illusion Peak. If Miaofa Zhenren used a Soul-Searching Talisman, it was very likely he would find out.

"Reporting to Zhenren, this beast tide is indeed strange. I have already searched several waves of beast tides and found that most of these demons are from the outer areas of the Taihang Mountains. This is indeed somewhat inconsistent with previous beast tides. This junior suspects that a demon king discovered some treasure and came out to seize it, incidentally causing a beast tide!" Ye Jingcheng said.

He was now grateful that the family's plan had not been revealed to him too much. To be honest, he didn't know how the family was doing it.

Even at this moment, he suspected that the demon king of the Taihang Mountains might be the Ye family's guardian spirit beast.

This thought startled him.

If that was the case, then the Ye family was a Golden Core family.

However, judging from the cautiousness of Hidden Peak, Ye Jingcheng didn't think it was likely.

"If that's the case, I hope the Zhenren can help us seek justice. This junior has seen no fewer than ten towns destroyed along the way, losing at least tens of thousands of clansmen!" Ye Jingcheng said with a sad expression.

Hearing this, the rest of the Ye family also showed grief.

Miaofa Zhenren didn't answer, but Xuan Dao Zhenren said:

"Yes, yes, it's similar to what we've investigated. Don't worry, don't be nervous. We're only here to investigate because such a big thing happened in Taihang County. The Mo family also needs to give an explanation!" Xuan Dao Zhenren nodded.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat disdainful of these words. If it was just an investigation, they should have made it clear from the beginning, instead of saying this after not being able to find out anything.

However, he also knew that even if the Ye family was on Xuan Dao Zhenren's side, the latter would definitely value the attitude of the Zhenren more than that of a vassal.

And Miaofa Zhenren didn't say anything because he couldn't find out anything.

It was estimated that the entire Mo family, except for Mo Hongyuan and others who came to the Ye family, and some clansmen in Taihangfang City, had been exterminated.

It was impossible to find any other evidence.

After all, the bodies of cultivators were extremely attractive to demons.

It was estimated that it would be impossible to find a complete corpse from the Mo family.

"Zhenren is too serious. Cooperating with the investigation is what we should do. Our entire Ye family has been trembling with fear. Now that we have finally become a Violet Palace family, it's nothing to be suspected!" Ye Haicheng also replied.

Hearing this, Xuan Dao Zhenren also nodded.

It could be said that everyone agreed with this conclusion.

"By the way, Jingcheng's alchemy skills are particularly outstanding. Do you have a teacher?" Xuan Dao Shangren also asked.

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall changed again.

This question wasn't really asking if Ye Jingcheng had a master, but rather asking if Ye Jingcheng wanted to go to the Taiyi Sect.

Adding to the previous probing, if they refused again at this moment, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Zhenren.

"Reporting to Zhenren, Jingcheng is currently a candidate for the Ye family's patriarch, so he doesn't have a teacher yet!" Ye Haicheng replied.

"That's a pity. If he came to the Taiyi Sect, he might have the opportunity to become our fellow Daoist. After all, among the four arts of cultivation, only alchemy is most helpful to cultivation!" Xuan Dao Zhenren showed a hint of regret.

After chatting a few more words, the two Zhenren and the Shangren all left.

Ye Jingcheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
