Chapter 1022: Chapter 712: Grassland Prospects and Threefold Joy (Extra for Alliance Leader Possibly Dizzy, Part 2)

The twilight’s afterglow cast long shadows, accentuating the desolate yellow of the great desert.

At this moment, the desert’s end connected to a spot of greenery.

Looking farther into the distance, one would see endless grasslands and countless varieties of desert grasses.

This type of desert grass is extremely drought-resistant and grows rapidly.

The lush green of the grass forms a stark contrast with the desolate yellow of the desert!

Two figures hurriedly piloted a Spiritual Ship to the desert’s end. Upon seeing the distant grasslands and the mountains beyond, their eyes lit up with joy.

They had finally escaped the Desert Sea, and ahead was the Celestial Departure Grassland, a territory of Demon Beasts. No matter how powerful the Ye Family was, they couldn’t freely pursue them there.

"It’s a pity we can’t leak the info about this Tier Three Secret Realm. Otherwise, with the allure of top-grade Spirit Stones, even the Ye Family would be finished if we informed the Yan Kingdom clansmen!"

"Just survive first. Without crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains, how can we oppose the Ye Family? It’s only those fools in the Eastern Domain who weren’t even aware of the leak from the Teleportation Array!" The two discussed with lingering fear, filled with resentment yet helpless.

For secrecy, many in the clan had sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath and were bound by the clan’s Jade Book’s Forbidden Array. If these topics were broached, their Divine Sense would explode within their minds.

Now, gathering evidence against the Ye Family in Taihang Commandery was already difficult. Although the Blood Pattern Boundary Book could convey messages, it couldn’t send images or proof.

Moreover, they had previously made false accusations once, which had alerted both the Taiyi Sect and the Ye Family. Any evidence of their clan members in the Eastern Domain would result in silencing.

The Zhang Family, once peaking with thousands, was now reduced to few, evoking a sense of shared fate between prey and predator in them.

One of them even began questioning the very meaning of Cultivation.

Unbeknownst to them, a Spiritual Rainbow was rapidly approaching from afar.

"Run quickly, they’re catching up, there’s a Purple Mansion!" a panicked voice cried out, filled with despair.

This implied that their Zhang Family’s Purple Mansion had already fallen!

The duo split up to escape once more, but by the time they saw it, it was already too late.

A gigantic Mother and Child Golden Lion Seal came flying from behind.

In an instant, it transformed into a massive Mountain Seal, blocking the blood-red sunset and casting a gigantic shadow, crashing down along with the Spiritual Ship.

With a thunderous roar, the entire Spiritual Ship was crushed into a myriad of Spiritual Lights, leaving debris scattered in the void before finally settling into silence.

The two cultivators couldn’t even let out an extra scream.

At this moment, another Spiritual Ship appeared in the distance. Onboard, Ye Haicheng paid no heed to the life or death of the two Zhang Family members. Instead, he gazed into the distance, at the vast Celestial Departure Grassland and the azure sky, lost in thought.

"So, this is the Celestial Departure Grassland?"

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators from Hidden Peak stepped forward, collecting the Spiritual Ship’s debris and the cultivators’ corpses.

"Uncle, the remaining Zhang Family members should have been completely eradicated."

"And we’ve acquired all their Soul Jade Talismans. It’s likely that only nine core cultivators, of whom only one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, remain," said Ye Jingtian, who also grew up on Hidden Peak.

His face was adorned with a bright smile, aware that in half a year’s time, the Ye Family would host a clan assembly, undertaking reforms, and rewarding advancements in Cultivation!

Moreover, the difference between Hidden Peak and Lingyun Peak would be abolished, ushering in a true Ye Family era.

From now on, although he still had to conceal information about the Ye Family’s Beast Communication Pattern, the Ye Family’s identity could be displayed openly without fear of exposing the clan to risk.

"Hmm, the Zhang Family is no longer a threat. Moving forward, we just need to keep an eye on the Jia Family!" Ye Haicheng learned from Wan Chengjie of the number of people in the Tier Three Secret Realm. Now, thirteen Foundation Establishment, and nineteen Qi Cultivation cultivators were all eliminated.

The risk of exposing the Top-Grade Spirit Stone Vein was naturally no longer a concern.

The Ye Family could safely seize East Flame Sand Valley.

At this moment, Ye Haicheng found the vast grassland particularly extraordinary. This expansive grassland was very suitable for raising Cloud Horn Deer, Forest Pigs, and Mountain-devouring Rats.

Moreover, the Desert Sea could also be used to raise Sand Ginseng Scorpions and other Spirit Insects, ensuring that even with an increased number of cultivators in the Ye Family, there would be no shortage of Spirit Beast Blood for Spirit Cuisine.

Breeding Spirit Beasts on a large scale primarily requires an abundant food supply.

Many herbivorous Spirit Beasts can adapt to Spirit Rice, but many carnivorous Spirit Beasts are not as receptive, which is one reason the Ye Family’s previously bred Spirit Beasts had many limitations.

Of course, to develop another Spirit Beast breeding line on the vast grassland, they must possess Nascent Soul combat power.

The Zhang Family’s previous absence from the grasslands certainly had its reasons; Ye Haicheng wouldn’t simply attribute it to insufficient manpower from the Zhang Family.

"Jingtian, I have a task for you: arrange for the map of the Celestial Departure Grassland to be redrawn, following the standards of Hidden Peak. Most importantly, identify the distribution of Demon Kings on the grassland and inquire about any Demon Emperor information!" Ye Haicheng directed this to Ye Jingtian.

He promptly nodded.

"Rest assured, uncle. Your nephew will begin immediately upon returning!"

...

Outside the Celestial Phoenix Oasis, a desert land.

A figure stood in mid-air, hands weaving Spirit Techniques. In an instant, Thunder Light surged, transforming into a massive crimson thunderball that crashed into the desert.
