Chapter 3570: Fire Cloud Son Attacks

The Ye family has already lost five Mahayana cultivators, severely depleting their strength. Although they still have many Mahayana cultivators, most of whom are newly advanced to the Mahayana stage, they can handle ordinary Mahayana cultivators. However, it would be difficult for them to contend with Mahayana cultivators from powerful clans.

Wang Qingshan politely asked Fairy Ye if he could use their family's large communication array to contact his clan. He wanted to personally contact his clan for peace of mind, as it would take a considerable amount of time to return from the Northern Cold Ice Plains to the Xuanling Continent.

"No problem," Ye Xuanji agreed. "Yunshuo, take him to Xuanling Hall and activate the large communication array to contact the Wang family."

When Ye Yunshuo last visited the Xuanling Continent, he had a seventh-tier formation master set up a large communication array on Green Lotus Island, allowing the Ye family to directly contact the Wang family. A seventh-tier formation master can establish a large communication array, but an inter-realm communication array requires an eighth-tier formation master.

Chen Yueying then asked Fairy Ye if their family had insights into cultivating spirit domains and if she could look at them. Since the Wang family was safe, Zhenhai Palace would also be secure. In the short term, Chen Yueying could not advance to the mid-Mahayana stage, but if she could just begin cultivating a spirit domain, it would enhance her strength.

"No problem," Ye Xuanji agreed. "Yunshuo, let Fairy Chen see our ancestor's insights into comprehending spirit domains, and give a copy to Fellow Daoist Wang as well."

Ye Yunshuo then led Wang Qingshan and Chen Yueying away, leaving Ye Xuanji and Ye Yunfei behind.

"Tell me about your experiences; the more detailed, the better," Ye Xuanji asked in a deep, serious voice, her expression solemn.

Ye Yunfei did not dare to delay and recounted everything in full detail.

"The Great Sun Blazing Physique! Soul Annihilation True Eyes!" Ye Xuanji nodded, acknowledging that these two spiritual physiques were indeed formidable, especially the latter, which specifically harmed the divine soul. Its eye technique could not be evaded merely by avoiding eye contact.

Ye Yuxuan entered, her expression solemn, and said, "Ancestor Xuanji, the Elder of Imparted Cultivation from the Stone Cocoon Clan contacted us. Tong Shan and over twenty Mahayana cultivators are attacking the Stone Cocoon Mountain Range. They have already breached it, and the Stone Cocoon Clan has suffered many Mahayana casualties."

"Over twenty Mahayana cultivators? What are their cultivation levels? What treasures do they possess?" Ye Xuanji asked with a frown.

"Tong Shan is at the late Mahayana stage, and they possess three Profound Sky Treasures," Ye Yuxuan replied, her tone heavy. "The Stone Cocoon Clan had long anticipated this move; their elites departed in advance. Some clan elders remained to defend the Stone Cocoon Mountain Range, eliminating several Mahayana cultivators, though the exact battle results are unknown."

Over twenty thousand years ago, a late Mahayana cultivator from the Ye family perished under the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and failed to ascend to the Immortal Realm. If it hadn't been for that incident, it would only have been a matter of time before Ye Xuanfeng or Ye Yunfei advanced to the late Mahayana stage.

"Three Profound Sky Treasures?" Ye Yunfei asked, puzzled. "Why didn't the Stone Cocoon Clan ask their powerful allied clans for help? Did their allies refuse to assist? The destruction of the Stone Cocoon Clan wouldn't be good for them, would it?"

"The Stone Cocoon Clan's allies have gone to the Celestial Dome Realm, preparing to wipe out the Tang Clan's ancestral land," Ye Yuxuan explained. "They had already transferred their elites to a safe place, likely hiding in that minor world."

Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, powerful clans possess multiple secret realms, some serving as refuges. A few powerful clans even have minor worlds where their members can take refuge in times of crisis. Minor worlds have more abundant cultivation resources and larger areas than secret realms, and it is exceedingly difficult for outsiders to enter a minor world controlled by a powerful clan.

The Ye family had also arranged for a group of elites to leave the Northern Cold Ice Plains, transferring a large amount of cultivation resources to other locations. This way, even if they couldn't withstand the enemy's attack, they would still have a chance to rise again.

Ye Xuanji nodded and said, "Have you contacted the Heavenly Moon Clan? Are they just going to stand by and watch as the powerful foreign clans rampage through the Xuanyang Realm?"

"We have contacted them, but they don't want to intervene," Ye Yuxuan replied truthfully. "Unless we give them ten or eight bottles of Creation Jade Dew or the secret method for opening three orifices. They're merely watching the tigers fight, or perhaps they have other plans."

The Heavenly Moon Clan is located in the Qianyuan Continent, far from the ongoing conflict, so it is understandable that they do not wish to get involved. Ultimately, this war was initiated by the Ye family, and the Heavenly Moon Clan would not participate without a clear benefit. It was also possible that the Heavenly Moon Clan had other intentions, but Ye Yuxuan was unaware of them.

"They certainly dare to make such demands. Hmph, as long as they don't cooperate with the Tang Clan, we can ignore them. At worst, we'll use the trump cards left by our ancestors," Ye Xuanji said in a deep voice. Before Fairy Liuyun ascended to the Immortal Realm, she had left behind some trump cards that the Ye family had never used.

"Yunfei, you should rest well for now. There will be a fierce battle later," Ye Xuanji ordered. "Gather the Mahayana cultivators of our allied races. If Tong Shan dares to come, we'll show him what we're capable of."

Ye Yunfei agreed, accepted the order, and withdrew.

On Golden Scale Island in the Xuanling Continent lay the ancestral home of the Golden Scale Clan. In a fragrant estate filled with birdsong, Jin Jiao and Jin Jing were seated in a golden stone pavilion, engaged in conversation. Jin Jiao had recently returned from his travels, having successfully advanced to the mid-Mahayana stage and obtained two Nine-Bend Exquisite Fruits. He had never expected that during his travels, the situation on the Xuanling Continent would undergo significant changes, with multiple Mahayana cultivators emerging among the human race and the Wang family expanding its influence in the sea regions. Jin Jiao felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn't actively initiated a racial war in recent years and that he had been away traveling, thus avoiding disaster.

"It seems we need to improve relations with the human race," Jin Jiao instructed. "You personally go to Green Lotus Island and arrange a meeting between True Master Taihao or Fairy Tianqin and me. We should have a good talk."

"Yes, Ancestor..." Before Jin Jing could finish speaking, a loud bang erupted, followed by blaring alarms.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Urgent shouts spread throughout Golden Scale Island.

Jin Jiao and Jin Jing's expressions darkened as they exchanged glances.

"The Wang family?" Jin Jiao frowned deeply. Had the Wang family come attacking? They hadn't provoked the Wang family!

Jin Jiao soared out as a light golden barrier enveloped Golden Scale Island. High in the sky, a red-glowing dragon boat hovered, upon which stood Fire Cloud Child, Jin Hong, and Luo Xiao.

After Luo Xiao passed the Great Heavenly Tribulation and crossed the sea regions, he painstakingly arrived at the Qianyuan Continent, where he encountered Fire Cloud Child and his group. Fire Cloud Child, however, didn't think much of Luo Xiao and intended to eliminate him and seize his cultivation resources. Luo Xiao, noticing Jin Hong's appearance, mentioned Jin Lei's name, which allowed him to escape disaster. Luo Xiao then exaggerated, claiming that Jin Lei had contended with True Master Taihao for a treasure and was subsequently killed by him. Jin Hong was already planning to deal with the Wang family, and this news made him even more furious. They took Luo Xiao with them and embarked on a path of slaughter towards the Xuanling Continent. In Fire Cloud Child's view, nine Mahayana cultivators would be more than enough to sweep across the entire Xuanling Continent. The Golden Scale Clan was an ancient race on the Xuanling Continent with deep foundations, so they naturally wouldn't spare them.

Jin Jiao was greatly startled to see Fire Cloud Child and the other nine Mahayana cultivators. "I am Jin Jiao," Jin Jiao said politely. "May I ask how I have offended you, fellow Daoists?"

Fire Cloud Child couldn't be bothered with pleasantries with Jin Jiao. He formed a hand seal, and the void vibrated and warped as red runes emerged one by one. After the runes proliferated, they transformed into hundreds of thousands of scarlet fire spears, each over ten zhang long. This was a Spirit Domain at Minor Accomplishment!
