In the Assembly Hall, Ye Xinghe, Ye Xingliu, and Ye Jingyong gathered together.

There was worry on their faces; the entire Taihang Commandery was extremely turbulent nowadays.

Even Ye Haicheng, who was seated in the main seat, had a somewhat sullen expression.

"Great Uncle, Third Uncle, Big Uncle, Second Brother!" Ye Jingcheng walked into the Assembly Hall, accompanied by Ye Xingyu.

"Jingcheng, you've come out of seclusion?"

"And made a breakthrough?"

For a moment, Ye Xingyu's earlier expression was once again seen by Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyong.

Seeing this, Ye Xingyu felt balanced; it wasn't that he hadn't seen the world, but Ye Jingcheng's cultivation speed was indeed astonishing.

Fifty-one years old and at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, a genius even in the Sect.

"It was just a lucky breakthrough." Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile, but soon he put away his smile.

"Great Uncle, Third Uncle, Big Uncle, I heard from Uncle Xingyu that this time the Jin Family and the Kong Family proposed to re-divide the market interests?"

"Yes, two years ago when the Jin Family and the Kong Family emerged, the five Great Purple Mansion Clans equally divided the remaining 60% of the profits, this time it seems they are making trouble!" Ye Haicheng also looked worried.

The market profits are almost the family's face in Taihang Commandery.

This re-division is a suppression of strength.

The families being suppressed naturally do not want to concede so easily.

After all, retreating this time might lead to even more severe suppression in the future.

Even the store facades and clan properties in the area might be threatened.

And Taiyi Sect would certainly not get involved, leaving a lot to interpret.

"Furthermore, the Chu Family might run into trouble before the Xu Family, lately the Jin Family almost daily sends cultivators to cause trouble at the Chu Family's Artifact Refining Shop, deliberately buying and then returning goods repeatedly!"

"Although done secretly, it's obvious to discerning eyes."

"Moreover, Chu Xiyu of the Chu Family has been in seclusion for three years." Ye Xinghe added from the side.

Now, in the actual sense, only three families remain in Taihang Commandery.

The Chen Family has long been in name only due to the Jin Family's arrival.

Currently, the Xu Family is struggling to breathe, and the Chu Family, their ally, is more likely to face issues, which is not good news for the Ye Family.

Everyone appeared somewhat silent since the tradition among the Ye Clan people is to always consider the worst-case scenario.

"The incidents of loose cultivators being killed have also been frequent recently!" While others remained silent, Ye Xinghe continued to add.

The turmoil in the market implies that not just the Jin and Kong Families might be involved, perhaps there are other forces too.

Even Taiyi Sect letting demon and tribulation cultivators gather is not a normal situation.

"Three days later, I will go with Jingcheng, this time we have to protect the Chu Family!" Ye Haicheng spoke up.

Upon these words, the others nodded.

Since establishing authority is at stake, Ye Haicheng must go.

At the same time, as the Patriarch, Ye Jingcheng must also attend.

With the two speaking, others nodded as well, as there truly are no better measures currently.

This short meeting concluded as Ye Xinghe went on to prepare auction items for the upcoming auction.

This time, the market division interest was being capitalized by the annual Taihang Market auction.

This time, the Jin and Kong Families will present some valuable items, so the Ye Family cannot fall behind.

Other Ye Family Elders also went to prepare their contributions.

After they departed, Ye Xingliu spoke with Ye Jingcheng about the recent family matters.

Only that while speaking, Ye Xingliu seemed somewhat peculiar.

Initially, Ye Xingliu intended to cultivate and break through the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment while Ye Jingcheng assumed the role of Patriarch.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jingcheng broke through directly after a period of seclusion.

Ye Jingcheng continuously expressed his gratitude, and to his surprise, half a year ago, Ye Haitian who was responsible for the Earth Fire Room of the Alchemy Pavilion passed away.

On his deathbed, he also gave Ye Jingcheng a Storage Bag.

Inside the Storage Bag, there wasn't much, just a Spiritual Peach and some Jade Talismans.

The Jade Talismans contained Ye Haitian's alchemy insights, though not as good as Ye Haiyun's, they were quite insightful for Ye Jingcheng's study of Pill Formulas.

Of course, what he missed more were the days of drinking tea and discussing Pill Formulas together.

Ye Jingcheng felt an inexplicable loneliness, and the joy of breaking through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment was somewhat diluted.

"Jingcheng, sometimes, you have to slowly accept that for most elders, to die naturally on Clan Mountain is already a blessing!"

"And for the family, you must shoulder this responsibility, so that Ye Clan can become a stronger Purple Mansion Clan, and breaking through Foundation Establishment won't be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it won't be so regrettable then!"

"Thank you, Third Uncle!" Ye Jingcheng thanked and watched Ye Xingliu leave.

The entire hall was left with just Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng.

And at this time, Ye Jingcheng understood that now is the most crucial moment for family secrets.

"Jingcheng, your Second Ancestral Uncle has begun seclusion, and the other ancestors are guarding in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, so here in Yan Kingdom's Taihang Commandery, it's up to us!" Ye Haicheng set up an Array, isolating the two from the hall.

To prevent any potential accidents.

Ye Jingcheng nodded upon hearing this.

From the time two years ago when he didn't meet Ye Xuecang, he could roughly guess.

The family has the Gold Condensing Fruit, so they definitely won't miss this opportunity.

"Also, when you reach Purple Mansion, remember to return to the family once, the Beast Communication Tower can infuse your Beast Communication Pattern with a soul!" Ye Haiping spoke again.
