Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 521: Chapter 432: Beast-Controlling Stone Spirit and Mass Advanced Spirit Locusts (Double Chapter)

The auction hall’s grand hall was still as eerily cold and desolate as it was a few years ago, giving off an impression of emptiness and indifference.

It even retained traces of the meeting among the six great families from back then.

However, now it was jointly controlled by the three Foundation Establishment clans and a Golden Core clan.

The people appearing here were also significantly different.

Of course, it’s called a Golden Core clan, but the Jin Family has already reclaimed most of its members, leaving only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, not even leaving behind any Purple Mansion cultivators.

It seems that the injuries of the Jin Family Ancestor have not yet healed.

The Jin Family needs more of its members to return to the main family.

“Patriarch Ye, you’re just in time. Today, besides pest extermination, we must also eliminate the evil cultivators within our borders!” Tianzhen Ascendant said as Ye Jingcheng entered, standing behind the two from the Ye Family, and continued speaking.

With these words, Ye Jingcheng understood that the Taiyi Sect was enraged by the disruptions caused by foreign loose cultivators.

Although they mentioned evil cultivators, that wasn’t precisely who they meant.

However, Ye Jingcheng was not optimistic about this matter.

After all, among the foreign loose cultivators, there were also Purple Mansion cultivators hiding, and none of the families here, not even the Jin Family, had Purple Mansion members, making it too difficult to drive them away or manage them.

Unless the Taiyi Sect dispatched Purple Mansion cultivators.

Or if a Golden Core True Master was present, like during the last beast tide.

“Everyone, you need not worry too much about the Spirit Locusts. Since we discovered them early, the Spirit-Slaying Locusts cannot form a scale of over ten thousand. Tomorrow the Sect should send new Purple Mansion cultivators, along with Wan Family cultivators, to assist.”

“As for the division, we will stagger it: the Ye Family will go to the Yuan Family’s area, Chang County, Nanping County, and Ding’an County; the Yuan Family will go to the Wei Family area; the Wei Family will go to the Jin Family area; and the Jin Family will assist in clearing out Spirit-Slaying Locusts and scheming evil cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Clans’ area!”

“Does anyone have any objections?” Tianzhen Ascendant finally asked for confirmation.

After a brief hesitation, Yuan Family Patriarch Yuan Haoyun was the first to nod in agreement.

Obviously, the Sect was suspicious of the Yuan Family.

Therefore, they sent the Ye Family to inspect the Yuan Family’s area.

But Yuan Haoyun was also wise. No matter what was within his jurisdiction, he must address it actively. Otherwise, if rumors spread, the entire Yuan Family would be in danger.

As Yuan Haoyun agreed, Wei Yunchang also nodded.

Ye Jingcheng and the Jin Family’s branch patriarch naturally nodded as well.

With discussions concluded, Tianzhen Ascendant began distributing a square, double-layered Spirit Disc.

“This is a Demon-Seeking Disc that can quickly detect Spirit-Slaying Locust Eggs, making it easier for everyone to thoroughly eliminate the Spirit-Slaying Locusts!”

After distributing the Demon-Seeking Discs, each clan’s cultivators returned to their respective places.

On the way back, Ye Jingyong intentionally walked a little ahead.

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

But the two just exchanged a glance, with neither speaking.

Xu Xiuqing’s attire was the same as when she was in the market town, a blue dress with her hair coiled at the back, her jade ornaments unchanged, stunning in Ye Jingcheng’s heart; yet he still recalled the scene from the valley that year.

While Xu Xiuqing sensed the unfathomable aura surrounding Ye Jingcheng, neither of them spoke.

It was as if they had an unspoken understanding.

Soon, they returned to the Ye Family Tavern.

“Would you like a cup of Spirit Tea and a dinner banquet?” Ye Jingcheng finally spoke, graciously inviting the two.

Despite the tension in his heart, she was still an elder of the Ye Family.

“No need, I still have to exterminate pests tomorrow.” Xu Xiuqing shook her head. She had waited two years, coming to the Ye Family for the appointment, but also to help the Ye Family.

But it appeared the Ye Family did not need much help.
