Chapter 222: The Tribulation Cultivator Attacks
Every time Yang Jiuli sent a letter, he would leave a restriction on it.
At this moment, the restriction was triggered, but the divine sense aura that came through did not come from Qin Zhixue.
Instead, it was an unfamiliar aura.
Clearly, the letter was intercepted!
"Who could it be?" Yang Jiuli whispered.
Over the years, he and Qin Zhixue exchanged many letters.
However, there have never been any mishaps, all of which were triggered by Qin Zhixue herself.
Being suddenly intercepted made him feel somewhat uneasy.
There are only two reasons why emails are blocked:
First: Someone has their eye on Yang Jiuli.
Second: The messenger encountered an accident.
As for the details, Yang Jiuli did not investigate further.
If someone has their eye on him, leaving Lingxi Peak rashly would be quite disadvantageous.
With the "Minor Yin-Yang Reversal Formation" here, he is fearless against anyone below the level of a fake True Immortal.
But once you go outside and fall into a trap set by others, the outcome is unpredictable!
Therefore, Yang Jiuli chose to wait and see how things would develop.
……
The next day, at the summit of Lingxi Peak.
Outside the villa where Ye Xiyu lives.
Inside the Lin Yuan Pavilion.
Ye Xiyu sat down on the jade stool.
Ye Zhirou obediently poured her a cup of spiritual tea.
Opposite Ye Xiyu sat a charming and alluring woman, Ye Xijia.
"Sister Xijia, please try my newly cultivated 'Kirin Jade Tea,' it's a legendary ancient spiritual tea."
Ye Zhirou smiled.
Clouds drift and swirl in the mountains, and the fragrant tea wafts before you. Place it in front of you, and a delicate aroma wafts up to your nose.
One breath is enough to clear your mind and make you feel refreshed.
Ye Xijia took a sip of tea and felt her mind and spirit clear, as if her spiritual power had increased slightly.
But after taking a sip, Ye Xijia had no appetite to continue tasting it.
The tea is good tea.
Clearly, this could not dispel the sorrow in the woman's heart.
She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Xiyu.
"Sister Xiyu, for the past three months, the raiding of cultivators in the Southern Ridge has been rampant... The medicinal herbs that our lineage escorted out have been robbed countless times. Not only have we suffered financial losses, but many of our brothers have also been killed or injured... Now, without the profits from the pill shops and the various businesses in the markets to sustain us... If this continues, I'm afraid we will starve to death!"
Ye Xijia frowned.
Her lineage was left by the former patriarch.
They also have quite a few businesses.
Even the alchemy shop can get a small share of the profits.
However, since Ye Cangliu took over the Ye family, after the Zhang family invested in Danpu, their shareholding was diluted, and they could no longer get many spirit stones.
All the profitable businesses were taken over by people under Ye Cangliu's tutelage, and cultivators from other sects were not allowed to interfere.
Even if Ye Xijia's lineage still has a medicinal herb garden, the medicinal herbs produced can only be sold in a separate market.
We cannot rely on the Ye family's resources to sell to our old customers.
As a result, they all complained bitterly.
Left with no other choice, he had to venture out into the world to make a living.
Unexpectedly, in the past three months, bandits have been running rampant, stealing a lot of their medicinal herbs and injuring people.
This left the cultivators of the Ye clan with no way forward and they were clearly trapped in a predicament.
Therefore, Ye Xijia approached Ye Xiyu again.
"Regarding the family's recent predicament, Xi Yu is also powerless to help!" Ye Xi Yu took a sip of tea and then said.
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Ye Xijia, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
In the past, Ye Cangliu used spirit stones to acquire the shares held by everyone.
She was initially unwilling.
Under Yang Danshi's persuasion, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and sell the shares.
As for the other factions, they were unwilling.
I plan to hold out until the very end.
No matter what, Ye Cangliu, as the clan leader, shouldn't be able to openly steal it, right?
Who would have thought that Ye Cangliu would use the excuse that Ye's Pill Shop no longer had a second-level pill master to oversee it and that new resources needed to be introduced.
He brought Zhang into the business.
They directly diluted everyone's shareholdings and then manipulated the accounts to purchase Zhang's pills at a high price.
This results in very little profit for each pulse.
They even almost suffered losses at one point.
Ye Xiyu also deeply resented Ye Cangliu's actions.
At the same time, she was secretly glad that she had listened to Mr. Yang.
Although she gave up her shares, she at least received six thousand low-grade spirit stones.
With this, we can get through this difficult period!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to listen to Ye Xijia's complaints so calmly and serenely.
"Sister Xiyu, the old patriarch invited Master Yang to protect our clan and even gifted him 'Lingxi Peak.' As a prominent figure with connections to the immortal sects, he should at least show some appreciation. He can't just stay hidden on 'Lingxi Peak' forever, can he?"
"If that's the case... how can he possibly have the face to stay at my 'Lingxi Peak'?"
Ye Xijia said.
"What does Xi Jia mean?" Ye Xiyu asked, tapping her teacup lightly with her index finger, making a crisp sound.
"I hope you can speak with Master Yang again... and have him deter the villains... otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay at 'Lingxi Peak' any longer!" Ye Xijia said solemnly.
Of course, she didn't dare to say the rest to Master Yang in person, so she wanted to ask Ye Xiyu to step forward and play the villain.
"Why me? Why don't you go yourselves?" Ye Xiyu said calmly with a light laugh.
"Yes! This is your request, so you should go!" Ye Zhirou said.
"Because Master Yang was invited by your grandfather... it's only natural that you have to clean up the mess now," Ye Xijia said.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to go on this trip!" Ye Xiyu said.
"Why? Are you really going to disregard the lives of your people?" Ye Xijia asked.
"My grandfather has an appointment with Master Yang Dan..." Ye Xiyu said slowly, taking a sip of tea.
Ye Xijia stared intently at Ye Xiyu.
"Master Yang only needs to stay and oversee the Ye family. Whether he takes action or not is entirely up to him and no one can force him," Ye Xiyu said.
She took a sip of tea, her words calm and composed.
"What! All he needs is to stay and oversee my Ye clan? That's it? And you're giving him 'Spirit Stream Peak'?" Ye Xijia exclaimed. "Isn't this a far cry from the bigger picture, Elder?"
"Hmph, my Ye Clan no longer has any Foundation Establishment cultivators... What do we have to restrain others with? Master Yang's willingness to oversee the Ye Clan is already a great favor. If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would probably have already swallowed up my Ye Clan by now. How would you have the chance to speak here?"
Ye Xiyu said coldly.
"This..." Ye Xijia was speechless.
As a cultivator from the Southern Ridge, she naturally understood the reasons behind it.
Almost every year, clans are wiped out.
Some powerful clans, if they only have one Foundation Establishment cultivator, will not even dare to hold a funeral for him after his death.
What they feared most was that if others found out, they would come to their door and wipe out their entire clan.
Even so, many clans were still wiped out because the news leaked.
The fact that Ye has been able to hold on until now is already thanks to Yang Jiuli's kindness.
"Could it be that we..." Ye Xijia pursed her lips, wanting to say more.
boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Ye Xijia looked up and followed the sound.
Ye Xiyu and Ye Zhirou looked in the direction of the sound.
Through the clouds, everyone could see that the second-tier protective array of the Ye clan had shattered high in the sky.
The light shield shattered from high above and disappeared bit by bit.
The entire Ye family estate, spanning a radius of sixty li, was fully revealed.
When the formation disappears.
Ye Xijia and Ye Xiyu immediately rode the wind and flew into the sky above Lingxi Peak.
Then, high in the sky, a spaceship streaked across and entered the airspace above the Ye family's territory.
A curved sword is carved on the bow of the ship.
The ship's masts and flags fluttered, and a curved sword was embroidered on the flag.
Ye Xiyu and Ye Xijia's gazes sharpened as they locked onto the spaceship in the distance.
"These are the traitors from the Fiend Blade Alliance..." The two were filled with fear upon seeing the distinctive markings on the spaceship.
His face was deathly pale.
The Nanling Mountains have seventy-two peaks, covering a vast area that stretches for thousands of miles.
This place is not only home to numerous clans, but also to many active cultivators who have undergone tribulations.
This "Fiendish Blade Alliance" is none other than the most notorious group among the Tribulation Cultivators.
"Legend has it that the alliance leader, 'Sha Dao', obtained an ancient inheritance and used the evil energy to refine his body, becoming a second-tier body cultivator. He began to plunder in the Southern Ridge. With the help of resources, he also built a foundation for immortality on the path of immortality, becoming a great cultivator who cultivates both immortality and martial arts."
"With this, he almost crushed his enemies when fighting against those of the same level," Ye Zhirou whispered.
"Sister... what should we do?" She looked at Ye Xiyu with a panicked expression.
"Although the Fiend Blade Alliance is infamous in the Southern Ridge, it has its own rules and will not easily plunder large clans with Foundation Establishment cultivators... Although my Ye Clan is weak, with Mr. Yang here, they should know that we are here. Yet they have attacked us without cause..." Ye Xiyu pondered, looking at the sky ahead, her eyes filled with thought, vaguely sensing that this matter was not so simple.
"What does Sister mean...?" Ye Zhirou's heart sank upon hearing this.
Ye Xiyu remained silent, only looking into the void, wanting to understand.
Lingxi Peak.
In a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Yang Jiuli was leisurely sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, enjoying tea.
After noticing the commotion, he released his divine sense to sense it and went to investigate.
His divine sense spread out and also absorbed the conversation between Ye Xiyu and Ye Zhirou.
"A calamity cultivator... from the 'Fiend Blade Alliance'!" Upon hearing the name of the newcomer, Yang Jiuli's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.
"They've finally arrived!"
A smile crept onto his lips.
But that smile was like a knife, carrying a chilling killing intent.
He sensed something was amiss when the letter was intercepted.
Now that the treacherous cultivators have invaded, everything has become clear.
Most of these people came for him.
However, he remained calm, simply releasing his divine sense to observe the situation.
He wanted to see what tricks these people could pull.
……
At this moment, high in the sky, on the spaceship.
On that deck stood three imposing cultivators.
The leader was dressed in bronze armor. He was over ten feet tall and as imposing as a mountain. His deep eyes flashed with a fierce light. In his right hand, he held a black and gold greatsword, which he carried on his shoulder. He exuded the aura of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This is Liu Bingwen, the leader of the Fiend Blade Alliance.
He is a cultivator in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, his body-refining technique had already reached the late stage of the second tier, comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Beside him stood a refined-looking monk dressed in a blue robe, wearing a square scarf on his head, and holding a silver folding fan.
This refined cultivator, though seemingly in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, exuded an aura of composure and strategic brilliance.
This person's name is Tan Shanlin.
