Lingyun Peak, dark clouds gathered in the sky, as if a torrential downpour might commence at any moment.
Such storms are quite common in midsummer, and sometimes, the Ye Family has to take protective measures for certain spirit medicines, even though ordinary rain rarely affects them.
But any slight impact results in a significant loss.
After all, because the spirit beasts raised by the Ye Family need to sense the change of seasons, the family's Array typically doesn't have a blocking function, only a spirit barrier effect.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at the sky, shook his head, and continued walking towards Ye Haicheng's courtyard.
Ye Haicheng's courtyard was near the Spirit Beast Valley and also close to the family's Lingyun Lake.
When he arrived at the familiar courtyard gate, Ye Jingcheng cast a Spirit Talisman.
The door quickly opened, allowing Ye Jingcheng to enter.
The door then creaked shut behind him, closing tightly.
"Sit!" Ye Haicheng appeared, accompanied by Ye Xueliang, whom Ye Jingcheng had once seen at the Hidden Peak at Sand Dunes.
The latter was dressed in a loose Spirit-Blocking Robe, making it hard to discern his form except for his face. However, at this moment, he lifted the robe, and the Beast Communication Pattern on his arm became visible.
His face appeared quite lean and sharp, though perhaps due to prolonged Spirit Cultivation, when the Beast Communication Pattern was displayed, scales patterned appeared habitually on his face, resembling the surface of a scale python.
For the Ye Family, the existence of the Hidden Peak depends on the Beast Communication Pattern.
If a Ye Family member didn't possess the Beast Communication Pattern, pretending to impersonate someone else would be a joke, and they would certainly be dealt with secretly.
This is why, after many years, the Ye Family has not been infiltrated.
Other families, when encountering similar hidden clan members, sometimes have to go through the trouble of using the Spirit Inquiry Talisman to confirm identity, which is far too convoluted.
"Grandfather, Fifteenth Ancestor." Ye Jingcheng greeted the two directly.
"Your proposal is very good, both the family and Hidden Peak have agreed, even your Fourth Ancestor agreed. Although the family can't provide much Purple Mansion Cultivator support, Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Tier Two Spirit Beasts can offer significant help. This time, no family cultivators will be needed publicly, with just you and me at Lingyun Peak. The beast tide was stirred up by this turmoil in Taihang Commandery!"
"It's those Loose Cultivators coming from all directions!" Ye Haicheng paused, then spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat relieved.
Indeed, public cultivators can't be used; utilizing the strength of the family's Hidden Peak means there are no such worries.
Just like before, when the beast tide wiped out the Mo Family.
The concealment ensured that nobody knew anything.
Because even in the Ye Family, only a handful of people were aware.
Those were all the absolute high-level members of the Ye Family, so there was no risk of any leakage.
So, even if there were a few small suspicious points, they never implicated the Ye Family.
This time, heading to the Taihang Mountain Range is naturally to find strong demon beast cubs and to slay powerful demon beasts.
The Loose Cultivators and Evil Cultivators have once again become scapegoats for the Ye Family.
Who could help it when they've caused nothing but trouble in Taihang Commandery, and they can't even reveal their identities now, so they must continue hiding in the shadows.
"Patriarch, this time the chosen location is Moon Lake behind Earth Dragon Valley, it's a territory under Silver Moon Demon King's control, guarded by two Tier Three Mid-stage Silver Moon Python Great Demons. Besides, there are many Silver Moon Pythons and a lot of water attribute spirit medicines there!" Ye Xueliang said.
As cultivators of Hidden Peak, they focused their research on the distribution of the demon race in the Taihang Mountain Range and the domains of the major demon kings.
Silver Moon Demon King's true form is a mutated Silver Moon Flood Dragon, considered a very powerful demon king.
But the dominating aspect of the Silver Moon Flood Dragon is that it assigns territories whenever a great demon arises, rather than all staying in a single lake.
When in one lake, there can only be one possibility: they pair off.
Therefore, the territory of the Silver Moon Demon King is one of the best opportunities to exploit.
Their territory is vast and widely distributed, making reinforcements slow.
The bloodline is decent, and being a water attribute demon beast, even in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Silver Moon Pythons can be nurtured.
"Additionally, there is quite a bit of Moon Gazing Grass by Moon Lake, which is a Tier Two High-grade spirit herb, quite rare to find." Ye Xueliang continued.
However, as Ye Xueliang spoke, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
"Fifteenth Ancestor, aren't two Tier Three Mid-stage Silver Moon Pythons very strong?"
In his expectations, it would be best for it to be like in Jade Dragon Valley, with only an Early Stage Purple Mansion great demon, along with resources.
Moon Lake naturally has plenty of resources, after all, the Silver Moon Pythons have gathered many Spirit Fish in the lake.
Various spirit grasses also abound.
But two Mid-stage Purple Mansion Silver Moon Pythons couldn't be taken down by Ye Haicheng and his Purple Sun Demon Corpse.
For this kind of operation, it must be quick and decisive.
Prolonging it casually is absolutely not an option.
"No need to worry about combat power. The Earth Dragon Demon King still owes us a favor, and actually, this information comes from the Earth Dragon Demon King collaborating with us. The Earth Dragon Demon King and Three-eyed Demon King, Yun Shi Demon King, are allied, while the Silver Moon Demon King and Earth Dragon Demon King are at odds. After all, the Silver Moon Python clan is too domineering; this is a win-win!" Ye Xueliang continued speaking.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng felt slightly embarrassed, but thinking about it now, the family's ability to operate in the Taihang Mountain Range for so many years with Hidden Peak while sending demon souls into the Beast Communication Tower without being discovered certainly has a reason. For some high-Spiritual Wisdom demon kings, cooperation through alliances even occurs.
"Then it's Moon Lake!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, selecting the point of attack.
