Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Even Demon Pass Mansion was just a facade.

...

Outside Cyan Spring Valley in Cyan Spring Sect, Xu Qiukui and Feng Daoran among others were hidden underground.

They had left a mirror spiritual artifact outside.

At this moment, it was already reflecting some faint dawn light.

Evidently, it was already dawn, reaching their appointed time.

”Time for us to go out!” Master Zifu spoke up.

”Let’s wait a bit, Master Profound Bone is also attacking Profound Demon Valley; if we’re late, it might even lure some cultivators out.” Xu Qiukui countered.

”Let’s wait two moments before taking action.”

”But...” Master Zifu’s face worsened, knowing they weren’t waiting for Master Profound Bone, rather for Ye Jingcheng to act.

Master Zifu looked to the side, finding He Yu Dual Cultivation and Feng Daoran’s expressions unchanged.

Clearly, the three of them were in tacit agreement.

This emboldened Xu Qiukui further.

Master Zifu felt a chill in his heart; even though He Yu Dual Cultivation had good relations with Ye Jingcheng on the surface, he knew perhaps during the trade exchange, He Yu Dual Cultivation lacked the Tier Four Demon Pill, Ye Jingcheng had it but didn’t exchange, leaving them somewhat resentful.

For Golden Core True Masters, friendships can be trivial in the face of life and death.

”Two moments is too long!” Master Zifu still voiced.

”Not long; it’s only two moments, hardly lengthy!” Xu Qiukui continued to insist.

”If Brother Zifu wants, you can act near Cyan Crow Mountain; it’s also a way to bind!” Xu Qiukui said, making Master Zifu’s face turn even paler.

Yet he did not speak again.

He didn’t have a Dragon Envoy Flying Ship or Tier Four High-Grade Profound Light Ship; going there to restrain would have too high a risk of perishing.

Thus, despite being unwilling, Master Zifu understood that Xu Family might seize this chance, sparing the additional layer of treasure and Tier Three Spirit Mountain.

”I only hope Brother Qianchen has more ways to handle this!” At this moment, Master Zifu could only internally pray.

...

Outside Celestial Sword Mountain, under a small hill, was a hollowed space, forming a small underground hall, crowded with over ten people.

”Elder Qian Liu, it’s dawn; we should act now!” Huang Tiyun said.

On the day they parted, he heard Xu Qiukui mention action at dawn.

Yet today, he was puzzled as Ye Xingliu showed no intent to act.

”There’s a full hour at dawn; no need to rush. The brightness now indicates cultivators are absorbing Purple Qi, surely they’re well-defended!”

”But wait half an hour, near a small circulation cycle, that’s the best time for us to act!”

”Moreover, Elder Qianchen hasn’t acted yet; we can’t alert the enemy!” Ye Xingliu explained from several angles.

This left Huang Tiyun momentarily stunned.

Yet after pondering, it appeared true.

So he said no more.

...

Outside Demon Jade Mountain, Ye Jingcheng was waiting in the grotto heaven, with the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven concealed in the void with the Void Concealment Skill. All Ye Jingcheng did was leave behind a Shadow Wood Puppet and several observing spirit insects.

He wouldn’t act before Xu Qiukui.

Once dawn passed by one moment, and Demon Jade Mountain remained inactive, he knew Xu Qiukui had some sneaky thoughts.

If the opponent was dealing in trickery, he’d continue waiting.

He had time to wait, even if he acted in the last moments of the hour, it wouldn’t break protocol.

Behind him, three Demon Kings and the Peach Wood Wood Demon Stone Spirit were nervously waiting; even the Jade Ring Rat was the same.

Although the Jade Ring Rat’s combat power was ordinary, its sound-hearing was useful.

Time passed moment by moment.

Finally, Demon Jade Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array activated fully, with a Spiritual Ship shining brightly, speeding away.

The escape speed was astonishing, headed toward Cyan Spring Sect.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was finally satisfied and smiled.

”Still no Teleportation Array!” He murmured.

After all, if there were a Teleportation Array, there would be teleportation lights.
