Chapter 434: Stone Spirit Communication with Beasts, Swarms of Evolving Spirit Locusts (Two-in-One Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The auction hall's main hall was the same as it had been years ago, still eerily cold and desolate, appearing empty and indifferent.

Traces of the six great families' discussions from back then even remained.

It was just that now it had become a joint rule by three Foundation Establishment families and one Golden Core family.

The people appearing here were also very different.

Of course, while it was said to be a Golden Core family, the Jin family had now already taken back most of its clansmen, only leaving behind a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, and not even a Core Formation cultivator was left behind.

It seemed that the Jin family's Patriarch's injuries had not yet healed.

The Jin family needed more clansmen to return to the Jin family's main family.

"Patriarch Ye has arrived at the right time. Today, in addition to eliminating the insects, the evil cultivators within the territory must also be eradicated!" Celestial Array Hermit saw Ye Jingcheng enter and, standing behind the two Ye family members, continued to speak.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng also understood that the Taiyi Sect was angry about the rogue cultivators who had been causing trouble all along.

While they were called evil cultivators, that was not who they were referring to.

However, Ye Jingcheng was not optimistic about this matter.

After all, among the rogue cultivators from outside, there were still Core Formation cultivators hidden. The families here, even the Jin family, did not have a Core Formation cultivator present, so it would be too difficult to drive them out and rectify the situation.

Unless the Taiyi Sect sent out a Core Formation cultivator.

Or a Golden Core True Person was present, just like during the last beast tide.

"Everyone can rest assured about the spirit locusts, because they were discovered early. Now, the scale of the spirit locust extermination will not reach tens of thousands. The sect should have new Core Formation cultivators and cultivators from the Wan family arriving tomorrow."

"But in terms of division, we will now stagger them. The Ye family will go to the Yuan family's area, Chang County, Nanping County, and Ding'an County. The Yuan family will then go to the Wei family's area, the Wei family will go to the Jin family's area, and the Jin family will go to the area of those Qi Refining families, assisting in clearing out the spirit locusts and evil cultivators with ulterior motives!"

"Does anyone have any objections?" Celestial Array Hermit asked for confirmation at the end.

Yuan Haoyun, the head of the Yuan family, hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement first.

Clearly, the sect suspected the Yuan family.

Therefore, they were letting the Ye family inspect the Yuan family's area.

But Yuan Haoyun was also very clear that no matter what was in his jurisdiction, he had to actively deal with it, otherwise, if he gave them an excuse, then the entire Yuan family would be in danger.

As soon as Yuan Haoyun agreed, Wei Yunzhang also nodded.

Ye Jingcheng and the Jin family's branch family head naturally nodded as well.

With the discussion completed, Celestial Array Hermit began to distribute a square, double-layered spirit compass.

"This is a demon-seeking compass that can quickly detect the eggs of the spirit locusts, making it easier for everyone to completely clear out the spirit locusts!"

After distributing the demon-seeking compasses, the cultivators from each family returned to their respective homes.

On the way back, Ye Jingyong deliberately walked away a little.

It seemed that he wanted Ye Jingcheng and Xu Xiuqing to have some space to talk.

But the two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Xu Xiuqing's attire was the same as it had been in the market back then, a green dress, her beautiful hair tied up behind her head, and the jade ornaments were the same as back then. In Ye Jingcheng's heart, she was still stunning, but he still remembered the scene in the valley back then.

And Xu Xiuqing felt the unfathomable aura on Ye Jingcheng's body, and neither of them spoke.

It was as if they had a tacit understanding.

Soon, they returned to the Ye family's restaurant.

"Would you like to have a cup of spirit tea and a dinner?" Ye Jingcheng finally spoke, generously inviting the two.

Even though there was a grudge in his heart, she was still an elder of the Ye family.

"No, I still have to go exterminate insects tomorrow." Xu Xiuqing shook her head. She had been waiting for two years, and coming to the Ye family was to keep her appointment, and even more so to help the Ye family.

But the Ye family didn't seem to need help that much.

On the contrary, her cultivation speed had slowed down again. How to improve her cultivation speed was the most important thing.

In the two and a half years, Ye Jingcheng had not appeared, and she had understood some things.

The dinner was still held, but Xu Xiuqing did not participate. Ye Jingcheng drank a cup and then returned to his room.

Perhaps the liveliness should belong to the younger generation of the Ye family.

Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and set up the formation. He originally thought that today would be an unforgettable experience.

But when he really reached this moment, he felt an unprecedented peace instead.

He cultivated for a while, and it was the same as usual, with nothing else special.

It was just that after circulating for half a cycle, he still stopped and drank a small cup of Azure Wave Wine alone.

The Azure Wave Wine was still spicy, as turbulent as the sea, leaping in his throat, as if it wanted to stir up all the regrets in his heart.

His heart yearned for the Azure Cloud Sea even more.

It was said that this wine was a spirit wine refined in the Azure Cloud Sea and sold to Yan Country.

Otherwise, how could a first-order middle-grade spirit wine compare with the Green Bamboo Wine soaked with spirit snakes?

After drinking a pot of wine, Ye Jingcheng let out a long sigh, and suddenly thought that he had not yet communicated with the beasts using the Stone Spirit.

So he began to communicate with the beasts.

In the past, he was worried about communicating with the beasts, but now that he was already in the Core Formation stage, with the formation he had set up, if anyone spied on him, he would be able to detect it immediately.

And the time for communicating with the beasts would not take long.

Ye Jingcheng released the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven's main body, and saw that the Devouring Python spirit pattern on the big stone was even larger, and the entire stone was even more profound, like a star stone, showing its mystery.

Ye Jingcheng began to display the beast communication pattern, pinched a magic seal in his mouth, and waited until the beast communication pattern turned into a spirit shadow and fell on the Stone Spirit Cave Heaven. Then, a faint sense appeared in his body.

Within the beast communication pattern, a different kind of earth attribute spiritual power涌现.

This spiritual power gave Ye Jingcheng a very special feeling, seemingly far and near, like a feeling of咫尺天涯.

Ye Jingcheng was also extremely interested in the enhancement spells that the Stone Spirit could bring him.

It was just that when he cast Earth Spike Technique and Falling Cloud Star Rock, there was nothing special about them.

Even if he used the Stone Spirit's spiritual energy, it only formed a faint layer of starlight on the surface of Falling Cloud Star Rock and Earth Spike Technique.

It seemed that it only had a little more illusion effect, and then there was nothing else.

Ye Jingcheng studied it again, and finally realized that this was not illusion, but displacement, it was just that the spatial displacement was very small.

So it looked like it only had an illusion effect.

This made Ye Jingcheng overjoyed.

Although the current Stone Spirit's displacement was not large and could not play any role, if the Stone Spirit grew up.

If the spiritual power turned into demon essence, then the power of the spell would be conceivable.

And you must know that normal cultivators who want to involve spatial magical powers must reach the Nascent Soul True Lord realm.

Ye Jingcheng then studied the Stone Spirit's spiritual power again, but unexpectedly, it was already the next day.

Bright rays of light appeared on the horizon, and crimson morning clouds floated at the end of the mountain range.

Some birds also chirped in the bamboo forest.

Ye Jingcheng pushed the door open and saw several spirit boats marked with the three characters of Taiyi Sect flying from the end of the horizon in the distance.

Their speed was very fast, all of them were third-order spirit boats.

Obviously, many more cultivators from the Taiyi Sect had come.

Ye Jingcheng came to the restaurant hall and sent messages to the other clansmen.

He did not continue to use his divine sense to watch, as that would easily expose his cultivation.

After the Ye family members had all gathered one by one, Ye Jingcheng led Ye Jingyong and Ye Jinghu and the others towards the hall. As for Xu Xiuqing, Ye Jingcheng asked the latter to stay in the market to help guard the Ye family's shops and foundation.

Arriving at the square of the market, it could be seen that three more Core Formation Immortals from the Taiyi Sect had come, and all three of these Immortals were known to Ye Jingcheng.

They were Venerable Luo Fa from Sword Peak, Venerable Qian He from Law Peak, and Venerable Ming Yuan from Purple Peak.

Venerable Qian He could be considered to have some past grudges with Ye Jingcheng, after all, the former Li family and Chen family both belonged to the hidden forces of Law Peak.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, even after the incident with Chu Xiyu of the Chu family, Venerable Ming Yuan seemed to be not much different from before, and his cultivation even seemed to have improved, with a more ruddy complexion.

"Alright, act according to the arranged plan!" Venerable Tian Zhen transmitted his voice.

Everyone flew to the places with insect plagues according to the prior agreement.

Because the Ye family had good prevention measures, they did not experience any problems.

"Senior Tian Zhen." Ye Jingcheng looked at Venerable Tian Zhen leading some cultivators from Illusion Peak over, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

Compared to the other Violet Palace cultivators, the Ye family clearly trusted Venerable Tian Zhen more.

"Chang County is the most severely affected by the insect plague, go to Chang County first, the number of evil cultivators there is probably the highest!" Venerable Tian Zhen instructed, then took out a third-order treasure ship.

The treasure ship flew towards the distance in the air.

Ye Jingcheng saw the treasure ship, and a hint of dimness appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Venerable Tian Zhen couldn't help but say:

"Family Head Ye, you will reach this realm sooner or later, being downhearted is not what a cultivator should do. We cultivators should face difficulties head-on, and I believe Daoist Ye also hopes that you will inherit his third-order spirit ship as soon as possible."

On the day Ye Haicheng had the accident, Ye Jingcheng used the true essence left by Ye Haicheng to escape by piloting the third-order spirit ship.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Tian Zhen, but I still feel sentimental." Ye Jingcheng nodded.

The spirit ship soared into the sky. The speed of a third-order spirit ship was much faster than a second-order spirit ship. In less than half a day, they arrived at Xing County.

In the distance, they could already see large swaths of Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, like flying sand, lingering in the air.

Wherever the flying sand passed, it instantly turned into a black wasteland, and all the vegetation disappeared completely.

Seeing this, even though the Ye family members were somewhat mentally prepared, their expressions still changed drastically.

The demon-seeking compass in Venerable Tian Zhen's hand also lit up at this moment.

He quickly piloted the treasure ship and flew closer, releasing a five-colored dao disc that emitted five-colored spirit flames into the air.

These five-colored flames were too vast and their power too terrifying.

In an instant, they enveloped all the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

The power of a Violet Palace cultivator was even more terrifying than everyone had imagined.

The Soul-Extinguishing Locusts burned by the five-colored flames instantly disappeared, and countless pieces of charcoal fell down, making crackling sounds.

To everyone's surprise, several hundred Soul-Extinguishing Locusts actually flew out of the five-colored spirit flames.

Their eyes were filled with madness, gnawing their fangs, extremely ferocious.

At this time, Ye Jingcheng also quickly circulated his earth-attribute spiritual power, using Falling Cloud Star Rocks and Earth Spike Techniques one after another.

He smashed large numbers of Soul-Extinguishing Locusts to death, splattering countless black juices.

These black juices were the highly poisonous toxins of the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, and they instantly corroded a large area when they landed on the ground.

As Ye Jingcheng took action, the other Taiyi Sect and Ye family members also took action one after another.

At the same time, they released a large number of Earth Lizard Toads and Fire-Swallowing Finch spirit beasts.

These spirit beasts could devour Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

Of course, the main purpose of these spirit beasts was to find the insect eggs and completely devour all the insect eggs.

These spirit beasts quickly dispersed and went to the places where the locusts had passed.

There, they shoveled up large patches of spirit eggs.

"These Soul-Extinguishing Locusts can advance!" Just then, Ye Jingcheng's treasure light lit up.

He suddenly discovered that a patch of insect eggs could actually advance.

He had seen many spirit beasts and spirit insects that could advance, but it was the first time he had seen a large number of hundreds that could all advance.

This shocked him, and he also thought about getting these Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

After all, if there were tens of thousands of second-order Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, even Violet Palace cultivators would not be able to resist them.

However, after taking a look, Ye Jingcheng gave up.

Going to get the insect eggs now would undoubtedly tell Venerable Tian Zhen that he had released the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

After all, the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts had not appeared within the Ye family's territory.

Although it was said to be early prevention, it was only what the Ye family themselves said.

The truth could not be verified.

Although Ye Jingcheng wanted them, he still had to consider the overall situation.

In the end, he let the talented spirit beasts of the Ye family devour these Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, which might even increase the spirit beasts' talents.

"Family Head Ye, let's split up. The Soul-Extinguishing Locusts are only a few thousand in number now, and ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can handle them!" Venerable Tian Zhen's divine sense covered the area and did not see the figures of rogue cultivators or other cultivators.

He estimated that there were already more than a dozen groups of Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

Prevention must be done as soon as possible.

"Okay, Second Brother, take a few clansmen to follow Senior Tian Zhen!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and then looked at Ye Jingyong.

Although the Taiyi Sect had strong methods against the Soul-Extinguishing Locusts, they had some trouble with the insect eggs, after all, the insect eggs were too well hidden.

But the Ye family's spirit beasts could find them.

For the Ye family members, they were all extremely happy, because their spirit beasts had brought them considerable positive feedback after eating the spirit eggs.

As for Ye Jingcheng himself, he could also go and look for new Soul-Extinguishing Locusts.

Maybe he could even find Soul-Extinguishing Locusts that had two chances to advance.

If that were the case, even if Ye Jingcheng did not cultivate them himself, he could let other members of the family cultivate them.

Such Soul-Extinguishing Locusts could only be controlled by the Ye family members.

… …

In the Sky Spirit Mountain Range, inside a cave, Ye Xingqun and Ye Xingshui were in a cave.

The two of them were looking at a spirit disk, which had several induction formations on it, and some images had appeared.

However, these images were relatively hazy and had large intervals.

"Fifteenth Brother, is it really possible that the Yuan family and the Wei family are spies from the Azure River Sect this time?" Ye Xingshui couldn't help but ask.

After all, in his opinion, the Yu Yun Yuan family and the Pinghu Wei family were both old families in Taichang County.

"It's very possible, but it's unlikely that they will enter the Taihang Mountains through the Sky Spirit Mountain Range." Ye Xingqun nodded, but in his opinion, it was unlikely that people would come.

After all, the last beast tide had passed through the Sky Spirit Mountain Range, and the Silver Moon Demon King was already seriously injured. Even if stimulated, it was impossible to launch a beast tide.

After all, the intelligence of the Demon King was already no lower than that of the human race.

"Brother Qun, there's movement, someone's coming!" However, just then, Ye Xingshui exclaimed.

In the picture, five or six figures wearing spirit-isolating robes appeared.

"Turn off the spirit screen!" Ye Xingqun repeatedly said.

The spirit screen was instantly turned off.

It should be known that although this kind of induction formation projection is convenient, it is more likely to startle the snake for many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even Violet Palace cultivators.

This kind of formation is more suitable for observing the demon race.

Ye Xingqun turned off the formation, and then many black wood ants ran out of the cave.

These black wood ants were densely packed, in groups.

Compared to Qi training, Ye Xingqun, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, could control more black wood ants.

"Their target this time is likely to be Earth Dragon Valley." Ye Xingqun took a breath and couldn't help but say.

And if they went to Earth Dragon Valley, the other party was likely to have Violet Palace cultivators, which was why Ye Xingqun turned off the formation.
