Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Whetstone Mountain was bathed in waves of rosy light.

Although no Golden Core cultivators had come, the Jin family of Whetstone Mountain spared no expense, releasing all the rosy light and spiritual rain they had prepared.

The scene was quite spectacular, but few dared to openly enjoy it.

Those at the Qi Training and Foundation Establishment stages, while eager for treasures and spiritual rain, sensed something was amiss and kept their distance.

They seemed afraid that a fight would break out at any moment, leaving them no chance to escape.

After all, this time no Golden Core experts or powerful Violet Nascent Soul cultivators had appeared, nor had any important members of the younger generation, making the probability of being silenced very high.

Jin Xuanzhao was naturally suffering immensely at this moment, constantly glancing at the Ye family members, but after they had delivered the coffin, they sat there drinking spiritual tea as if nothing had happened.

They seemed genuinely there to offer congratulations, neither causing trouble nor acting arrogantly.

This only made him more confused.

The next moment, Jin Xuanzhao was stunned to see Jin Xuanhen, whom he had thought would not return, flying back with Jin Yulan.

The fourth-tier spiritual boat attracted much attention from afar.

Many had speculated that Jin Xuanhen would not return to Whetstone Mountain.

The generation after the Xuan generation of the Jin family was the Yu generation, and Jin Yulan, now just over eighty years old, was already at the Violet Nascent Soul stage, a renowned genius of the Jin family.

Their return reassured many cultivators.

After all, since they dared to return, they were naturally not afraid of the Chu family's revenge in the dark.

"Fellow Daoists, I, Jin, was delayed for some time due to refining artifacts and was unable to arrive to welcome you all in a timely manner. I hope you will forgive me!" Jin Xuanhen said apologetically.

However, his eyes were incredibly open and honest, lacking any hint of apology in his tone.

There were no Golden Core cultivators here, only a few Golden Core families, and they had only sent Violet Nascent Soul cultivators, so as a Golden Core True Person, he naturally didn't need to say much.

Jin Xuanhen didn't say much more, and after scanning the area and seeing that there were no Golden Core cultivators as he had imagined, he landed disappointedly on the main peak of Whetstone Mountain.

Jin Xuanhen's return was just a small interlude and didn't cause any extra waves.

The ceremony proceeded orderly once again.

Until the end of the ceremony, no problems arose.

The only interlude was the round wooden golden coffin sent by the Ye family.

The fiery sun set in the west, and the banquet ended.

Cultivators gradually left the mountain peak, as family celebrations were different from Golden Core or Nascent Soul ceremonies, which included lectures.

The Jin family also did not hold an auction this time.

Although there were small trading gatherings spontaneously organized by Qi Training and Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were not around Whetstone Mountain.

Naturally, very few cultivators remained.

Those Violet Nascent Soul and Golden Core family forces also did not stay, all leaving on time, as if something bad would appear, coming and going in a hurry.

Even the Ye family members quickly departed.

They indeed steered the spiritual boat towards the distance, as if they had only come to deliver a gift and then retreat.

… …

The night was eerily silent.

Dark clouds began to gather again, obscuring the moonlight.

On Whetstone Mountain, a group of cultivators patrolled the peak.

The leading Jin family cultivator, wearing a magnificent robe and with a burly build, patrolled once and then said to the people behind him:

"It's probably just the Chu family's alarmist revenge. Everyone can disperse!"

The others dispersed upon hearing this.

However, one of them did not head towards his own cave dwelling, but towards a formation base on Whetstone Mountain.

Whetstone Mountain's mountain protection formation was called the Five Elements Tai Geng Sword Formation, and it was one of the few family forces that used a sword formation as its mountain protection formation.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Jin family's swordsmanship was so good, but rather that the Five Elements Tai Geng Sword Formation was found in a Nascent Soul cave dwelling and could be considered a top-grade fourth-tier grand formation.

Its power was so great that the Jin family couldn't refuse it, so they used the sword formation as their mountain protection formation. Such a mountain protection formation naturally had extremely strong lethality, but its defensive aspects would be slightly weaker.

Before long, the cultivator landed next to a Jin family cultivator's cave dwelling next to the Five Elements Tai Geng Sword Formation.

The cultivator couldn't help but touch his storage bag due to nervousness.

He was naturally not a Jin family cultivator, but Ye Jingyu's informant, Ye Jingyuan, who had been placed in the Jin family over the years.

However, he had never had a mission before, and today's mission was too important.

So even he was somewhat nervous at this moment.

Apart from the main peak of Whetstone Mountain, there was also a cultivator on each of the other four peaks, approaching the five major formation bases of the Five Elements Tai Geng Sword Formation under the guise of visiting other elders.

… …

Beneath Whetstone Mountain, Jin Xuanhen sensed that cultivators had arrived at the formation bases, and his eyes were filled with contempt.

"Not coming during the day, but coming at night, thinking that we will be completely defenseless?" Jin Xuanhen sneered inwardly.

These small actions naturally couldn't escape the vigilant Jin Xuanhen.

If there were no Qinghe Sect cultivators present, he would indeed have captured these cultivators.

But at this moment, he was even worried that they wouldn't come, so why would he kill these cultivators? He had even prepared to let them break the mountain protection formation.

As for not having a mountain protection formation, in his opinion, they still couldn't defeat True Person Xiwang.

The latter was a genuine Golden Core Peak cultivator, not to mention the three Golden Core cultivators, including himself, assisting him.

Together, they had a full four Golden Core cultivators, so he believed that even if the Ye family had a backup plan, they couldn't defeat the four of them.

"After they attack, I hope Fellow Daoist Zheng can help use the teleportation formation to teleport out and set up a formation from the outside. This time, we must not let the Ye family's cultivators escape!" Jin Xuanhen said to a fourth-tier formation master next to him.

“Of course, I, Zheng, am aware. Do you think that a small Ye family could have formation attainments exceeding mine?” The cultivator named Zheng Xuanqing couldn't help but speak.

His words carried some displeasure. Jin Xuanhen was merely a True Person from a Golden Core family, yet he was ordering them, Golden Cores from sects, around.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xuanhen nodded repeatedly in agreement, then painstakingly poured Mingxin tea for everyone.

… …

Outside Hetian Mountain, within a large mountain.

Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xuecang, Ye Jingyu, Ye Haiyu, Chu Yanqing were all gathered.

They were not in a hurry, but were waiting for news. For the Ye family, the only news that needed confirmation this time was whether the Qinghe Sect had sent a Nascent Soul.

If a Nascent Soul had come, this operation would naturally be canceled.

If no Nascent Soul had come, they would proceed even if there were Golden Core Late Stage cultivators.

This time was both to destroy the Jin family for revenge and to send a signal to the Taiyi Sect that the Ye family was worth cooperating with.

At the same time, it was also to weaken the Qinghe Sect's arrogance.

Testing the Ye family again and again, even a clay figure still had three parts fire, let alone the Ye family.

Before long, the family's clan token lit up.

“No problem. Qinghe Old Ancestor is confronting True Monarch Tiandao in Lin'an Prefecture, and True Monarch Ziming is also guarding Taiqing Prefecture. We didn't see Old Ancestor Beihe cross the border. According to True Monarch Ziming, he also sensed a powerful divine sense guarding the border!” Ye Jingcheng said happily after reading it.

Obviously, this time, on the surface, it looked like the Ye family was destroying the Jin family, but it had already extended to the struggle between the three sects of Yan Country.

“Then let's move!” Ye Xuecang nodded. Ye Jingcheng's news came from Ye Jingli of the Ye family in Lin'an Prefecture and Ye Qingyan and Ye Jingteng of Taichang Prefecture.

Naturally, there was no major problem.

The most crucial thing was that the two sects could not harm the Ye family at this juncture.

Once the Ye family was exposed, even if the two families could clear themselves, they would still face considerable trouble. Moreover, the three families now had a common enemy.

Saying that, he also looked at Ye Jingyu.

“There should be no problem on my side either. Five people have been arranged in the open, and two people have been arranged in the shadows, which can ensure that the Five Elements Tai Geng Sword Formation cannot exert its power!” Ye Jingyu then spoke.

“However, the Jin family is likely to have a teleportation array. This has not been found yet.” Ye Jingyu added.

“Use this ethereal insect to check for the teleportation array!” This time, it was Ye Haiyu who took out the insect.

This ethereal insect was once offered to the Ye family by the Wan family. It is relatively sensitive to spatial secret realms and some teleportation arrays, and can find teleportation arrays at the first time.

“Jingyu, destroying the teleportation array is up to you. Second Ancestor, you and Haiyu will land outside, set up a formation to cover up the fluctuations, and by the way, kill all the cultivators watching the show. Today, regardless of whether they are real rogue cultivators or cultivators disguised as Qinghe Sect cultivators, they can't watch this excitement.” Ye Jingcheng said again.

As for the main force attacking the Jin family, it was naturally himself. He was in the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm, and he also had five Tier 4 spirit beasts and three Tier 4 spirit puppets. If he still couldn't break through the Jin family, then how terrifying would the Jin family's hidden combat power be, and how generous would the Qinghe Sect's support be!

As the words fell, everyone nodded.

“Brother Cheng, what about me?” Chu Yanqing also spoke.

“You will attack with me!” Ye Jingcheng then said.

Chu Yanqing had come to take revenge, so it was impossible not to take action. In addition, she was also in the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, so she could still kill ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.

But as soon as he said it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he added:

“However, you have to fall behind me a little!”

Chu Yanqing hesitated for a while, but still nodded.

She knew that the Ye family had already arranged everything, and if she acted rashly, it would only cause trouble.

“Let the Kong family take action first. Maybe Fourth Ancestor can attract some firepower!” Ye Jingcheng said again.

The Ye family was still fighting on two fronts this time.

Although Ye Xuefan's attack on the Kong family was a bit dangerous, from another point of view, it might also affect the opponent's Golden Core deployment.

This was similar to attacking Jiayuan Prefecture.

The opponent was in the open, and the Ye family was in the dark.

In addition, with the cover of the Taiyi Sect and the Tiandao Sect, the Ye family had a great chance of winning.

… …

Taiqiu Mountain, the Kong family.

Kong Taixuan landed in front of the Taiqiu Mountain spiritual vein, his eyes full of nostalgia.

For him, leaving Taiqiu Mountain this time was a humiliation.

But he had no choice. The Ye family was powerful and would definitely attack the Kong family in the future, just like if his Kong family developed and grew stronger, it would also destroy the Ye family.

Some grudges in the cultivation world can be resolved, but some cannot.

The beast tide that the Kong family caused to overturn Lingyun Peak was an irreconcilable grudge.

“Fortunately, the location of the Rune Wasteland Secret Realm Cave Heaven was discovered.” Kong Taiqiu murmured.

The Kong family's large-scale move into the Qinghe Sect naturally had gains before they could move in.

As long as they developed in the Qinghe Sect for a few decades, with this extra Rune Wasteland inheritance, the Kong family could develop spirit talismans on a large scale, and the future might not be worse than the Ye family. At that time, it would be the Ye family who would have to hide.

Kong Taixuan thought of this and let out a long sigh of relief.

But seemingly thinking of something, he then took out a sound transmission talisman and transmitted a message.

“Withdraw at Chen time!”

In his opinion, the Ye family would attack the Jin family this night!

Now the Kong family's industries have been sold almost, and the mineral veins have also been overdrawn.

After the mountain protection formation is withdrawn, the Kong family can all move into the Qinghe Sect!
