Chapter 451: The Ye Family's Calamity, The Final Arrangement

"Father, what are you doing?"

Ye Wenqiu looked at his father in confusion.

As a member of the Ye family, he naturally recognized the token in his father's hand.

It was the Ye Family Head's Token.

Ye Wenqiu's cultivation base was merely at the Foundation Establishment realm.

The weight of this Head's Token was too heavy for the current Ye Wenqiu; he had neither the thought nor the courage to bear it now.

Therefore, Ye Wenqiu did not take the Head's Token his father handed him.

Seeing that his son did not take the Head's Token immediately, a faint smile appeared on Ye Zhaojun's lips.

Extending his left hand to gently stroke the token in his right hand, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Ye Zhaojun's eyes.

After a long while, Ye Zhaojun simply tossed the Head's Token to Ye Wenqiu.

While Ye Wenqiu was at a loss.

Ye Zhaojun gazed tenderly at his son and spoke slowly:

"Take it! I am just temporarily placing this token with you."

Hearing this, the gloomy expression on Ye Wenqiu's face instantly relaxed.

Just as he was about to ask the reason.

Ye Zhaojun raised a hand to stop Ye Wenqiu's question first, then looked toward the direction of the Xuantian Sect, his tone somewhat ethereal:

"As an affiliated power of the Xuantian Sect, a member of the Ye family holding the Ye Family Head's Token can directly enter the sect's headquarters."

Speaking to this point, Ye Zhaojun hesitated for a moment, somewhat uncertain.

However, sensing the increasingly intense sense of unease in his spiritual sense, Ye Zhaojun's gaze steadied, and he continued:

"If one day the entire Ye family suddenly faces a calamity."

"You must take this Head's Token and go to the Xuantian Sect to seek help from our Ye family's Elder Qingxuan."

"At that time, Elder Qingxuan will provide you with a vast amount of resources."

"With Elder Qingxuan's help, you will have enough of these vast resources to rebuild the Ye family and continue our lineage."

Hearing his father's words, panic appeared in Ye Wenqiu's eyes, and a sense of unease rose in his heart. He hurriedly asked:

"Father, do not scare me. What exactly has happened?"

Hearing Ye Wenqiu's question.

Ye Zhaojun sighed and slowly shook his head:

"Nothing. With chaos approaching, I am merely preparing for a rainy day."

Saying this, Ye Zhaojun stuffed the talisman he had taken out earlier into Ye Wenqiu's hands and spoke again:

"This is a Grade Seven Supreme-grade Teleportation Talisman."

However, after thinking for a moment, Ye Zhaojun took out three more talismans and stuffed them into Ye Wenqiu's hands, saying:

"These three are Grade Seven Low-grade Attack Talismans. Keep them for your protection."

"If the Ye family suffers an attack it cannot match, you must immediately use that Grade Seven Supreme-grade Teleportation Talisman to take the Ye family members near you and leave the Ye family at once."

"But, Father..."

Ye Wenqiu stared blankly at the talismans in his hand, his mouth slightly open as if to say something, but he was interrupted again by Ye Zhaojun:

"Remember, do not tell anyone else about this."

"If such a situation truly arises, you must decisively activate this talisman and leave the Ye family immediately."

"Enough, go down now!"

At this moment, Ye Zhaojun did not want to say much and wanted his son to leave the main hall.

But with his heart filled with confusion, fear, and unease, how could Ye Wenqiu leave easily?

Driven by these various emotions, Ye Wenqiu did not leave immediately but spoke again:

"Father, I..."

"Go down!"

But Ye Zhaojun gave his son no chance to continue asking, coldly reprimanding him.

Looking at his father's majestic gaze.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Wenqiu could only take a deep breath to suppress the emotional turmoil in his heart and slowly spoke:

"Yes!"

Then, he left the main hall.

After Ye Wenqiu left.

Ye Zhaojun's spiritual sense surged out, scanning every detail of the Ye family, and he could not help but show guilt in his eyes.

He admitted that in arranging this matter, he had selfish motives.

Just...

"Sigh!"

After a long silence, Ye Zhaojun let out a soft sigh and looked at the storage ring on his finger.

Now, he could only pray that his sense of unease was merely an illusion.

Otherwise, he would have to test whether the Grade Seven talismans in his hand could help the Ye family smoothly pass this crisis.

Silence fell over the main hall once more.

But Ye Zhaojun's spiritual sense did not withdraw; instead, it expanded beyond the Ye family's protective formation, constantly observing every stir in the outside world.

After Ye Wenqiu left the main hall, due to his worried expression.

Several relatives and friends asked him with concern about the reason.

Faced with the concern of several close relatives, Ye Wenqiu opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

But thinking of her father's instructions, Ye Wenqiu could only remain silent, her heart filled with complexity.

Time passed.

Without the Ye family noticing, a dark and obscure figure had once again appeared high above the Ye family.

This figure was Xie Wuyun, who had rushed here from Dao Guang Commandery.

He had arrived at the Ye family some time ago.

However, after reaching the Ye family, Xie Wuyun did not strike immediately.

Although the Ye family was superficially only a Nascent Soul realm family, Xie Yi had fallen to their hands.

Though the Ye family had slain Xie Yi through talismans, who knew if they still had hidden experts lurking in the shadows?

Therefore.

To prevent accidents, Xie Wuyun did not rush to attack after arriving at the Ye family.

Instead, he hid in the shadows, carefully observing the Ye family and sensing whether any hidden expert auras remained within.

As for the spiritual sense Ye Zhaojun had spread out, Xie Wuyun had discovered it long ago.

With his realm, avoiding detection by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator was too simple.

"Perhaps I am overthinking it!"

High above, Xie Wuyun gazed at the entire Ye family, stroking his chin and speaking in a low voice.

After his investigation, aside from this sixth-grade supreme-grade family-protecting great formation, the Ye family showed no other irregularities.

In that case.

Xie Wuyun narrowed his eyes, looking down at the human cultivators and the tens of millions of human mortals below; a ruthless expression flickered within his slitted eyes.

Since he had chosen to strike, he would leave no survivors.

Whether human cultivators or human mortals, he would slaughter them all.

First, because to the Green Demon Clan, humans were merely another form of sentient life; given the Green Demon Clan's bloodthirsty nature, slaughtering humans would not burden their conscience greatly.

Second, slaying humans and obtaining the corpses of human cultivators could aid the cultivation of his subordinates while weakening the heavenly and earthly rules of the Di Xuan Realm to a certain extent.

Third, Xie Wuyun wished to obliterate everything to prevent information leaks and delay his own exposure as much as possible.

Meeting him meant the human factions below were simply unlucky.

As his thoughts shifted, Xie Wuyun clasped his hands behind his back and stamped his foot slightly.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a footprint surging with demonic energy descended and expanded at an extremely rapid speed.

Where the footprint passed, space trembled and twisted, spiritual energy was annihilated, and shockwaves rippled outward in successive layers.

Behind Xie Wuyun, demonic energy that blocked the sky surged from his back, forming a night curtain that shrouded the entire Ye family.

Clearly, to prevent accidents.

While attacking, Xie Wuyun chose to use demonic energy to seal off the entire Ye family.

"Hehe!"

Watching the footprint descend upon the Ye family, Xie Wuyun let out a cold sneer.

A mere sixth-grade supreme-grade great formation could not withstand his casual strike, even though he had not employed rule power for this blow.

And all of this occurred in the blink of an eye.

"Boom boom boom!"

The roaring sound from the high skies, and the demonic energy that blocked the sun and moon in an instant.

Were detected immediately by the ever-vigilant Ye Zhaojun.

Before other Ye family cultivators could notice, Ye Zhaojun's figure had already appeared above Mount Yunwu.

"Bang!" "Crack!" "Crack!" "Boom!"

The moment Ye Zhaojun's figure appeared.

Xie Wuyun's attack had already struck the barrier of the Ye family's family-protecting great formation.

This time.

Facing this powerful attack.

The Ye family's family-protecting great formation lasted only a moment before instantly shattering into fragments and dissipating as rosy light.

And at this moment.

The people of the Ye family below reacted, finally discovering this sudden change.

"Enemy attack, sound the alarm!"

"This is demonic energy; could it be the Green Demon Clan again?"

"It's over, the family-protecting great formation is broken; is there any hope left for our Ye family this time?"

"Look, that is the Family Head; the Family Head is fighting the enemy in the sky!"

Seeing this scene from the mid-slope of Mount Yunwu, Ye Wenqiu recalled Ye Zhaojun's instructions.

She gritted her teeth, disregarding everything else, grabbed a group of surrounding clan members, and hurriedly fled toward her mother's direction.

"Wenqiu, what are you doing?"

However, facing her friend's question, Ye Wenqiu bit her lip and said nothing.

Above.

Ye Zhaojun currently had no energy to attend to the reactions of the clan members below.

Because after the Ye family's family-protecting great formation was shattered.

Although the footprint condensed by Xie Wuyun had dimmed considerably, it did not vanish; instead, it continued to press down upon the Ye family.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaojun acted decisively, instantly firing off a Grade Seven Low-Grade Attack Talisman.

"Boom!" "Bang!"

Under the assault of the Grade Seven Low-Grade Talisman, the footprints condensed by the Evil Witch Cloud were instantly shattered.

Moreover, after shattering the footprints condensed by the Evil Witch Cloud, the force of the Grade Seven Low-Grade Talisman strike was not entirely expended.

Although the light dimmed somewhat, the remaining energy instantly struck the high sky, shooting toward the Evil Witch Cloud.

After a flash of lightning and a spark of fire.

The Evil Witch Cloud's expression changed; gazing at the rule energy shooting toward him, he said coldly:

"Heh, interesting. I didn't expect a mere Nascent Soul-level human clan to possess a Grade Seven Low-Grade Talisman."

"Pity. In the face of absolute strength, the power of talismans is too insignificant."

The Evil Witch Cloud's voice spread throughout the entire Ye Family in an instant.

Hearing the Evil Witch Cloud's words, Ye Zhaojun's heart immediately sank, and his gaze instinctively turned downward.

Upon seeing his son leading a group of clan members flying toward his wife.

Ye Zhaojun's slightly open mouth froze.

At this moment, the Evil Witch Cloud instantly unleashed his aura, circulated the profound rules within his body, and waved his hand.

A massive surge of red and black intertwined energy instantly collided with the Grade Seven Talisman attack unleashed by Ye Zhaojun.

"Bang!" "Boom!" "Crash!"

A dazzling aurora flashed and spread across the high sky.

The space, originally dimmed by the shroud of demonic qi, instantly became brilliantly bright.

But in the next moment, accompanied by deafening roars.

While the light shining in the high sky swallowed the darkness, it also annihilated all matter around it, sending waves of energy surging outward in all directions.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaojun had no choice but to summon another talisman.

"Vroom!"

Only the sound of a hum was heard, and a brilliant light flickered.

Guided by Ye Zhaojun, a yellow-crystal barrier condensed once again above the Ye Family.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Boom!"

The successive waves of energy aftermath were all blocked by this yellow-crystal barrier.

But Ye Zhaojun felt no joy; instead, a bitterness rose in his heart.

For this was a Grade Seven Supreme Defense Talisman, the Ye Family's only defense talisman.

When Ye Qingxuan advanced in the realm of Talisman Dao, the talismans he used for practice were mostly Impact Talismans.

Only after crafting a Grade Seven Supreme Attack Talisman and advancing the Talisman Dao to the peak of Grade Seven.

Did he specifically craft a Grade Seven Supreme Defense Talisman and a Grade Seven Supreme Teleportation Talisman.

Therefore, among the Grade Seven talismans Ye Qingxuan gave to the Ye Family.

Apart from one Grade Seven Supreme Defense Talisman and one Grade Seven Supreme Teleportation Talisman, the rest were all Attack Talismans.

High in the sky.

Seeing the yellow-crystal barrier below and sensing the rule energy fluctuations upon it, the Evil Witch Cloud instantly shouted in disbelief:

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

This is a Grade Seven Supreme Talisman; how could a mere Nascent Soul-level human clan possess it?

What is the background of this Nascent Soul-level human clan?

At this moment, the Evil Witch Cloud felt a desire to retreat for the first time.

But after hesitating for a moment, the Evil Witch Cloud's gaze hardened.

Since he had already struck, he might as well cut off the roots completely; afterward, he could simply retreat temporarily into the Green Demon Realm.

Besides, he did not believe the human clan below possessed more Grade Seven talismans.

Otherwise, they would not have summoned a Grade Seven Peak Defense Talisman just to withstand the energy aftermath.

Thinking this, the Evil Witch Cloud instantly made up his mind.

His eyes turned ruthless as he instantly shot toward the Ye Family, unleashing waves of rule energy during his flight.

They surged toward the yellow-crystal energy barrier.

Because it was water without a source, once the energy of the Grade Seven Defense Talisman was activated, the barrier would slowly dissipate even without further attacks.

But the Evil Witch Cloud did not want to waste time waiting.

Delay breeds change; he wanted a quick victory.

Even if the Ye Family still had Grade Seven Attack Talismans, he would force the extermination of the human clan below, even at the cost of injury.

Besides, talismans are merely talismans; he did not believe he would be injured.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

"Crash!"

"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"

Accompanied by sounds of collision, booming, and the clash of strange energies.

The rule attacks unleashed by the Evil Witch Cloud struck the barrier above the Ye Family one after another.

Under the heavy blows, the yellow-crystal energy barrier gradually dimmed at a visible speed.

Waves of energy instantly swept across a territory tens of thousands of li in all directions.

And the earth surrounding this yellow-crystal barrier continuously exploded under the constant booming of Grade Seven energy.

At this moment, the earth was like the sea, raising waves of ground that destroyed all life upon it.

Space trembled, the earth shook, mountain peaks collapsed, waters shattered, and living beings fell; in an instant, the once-peaceful immortal realm turned into a human hell.

Seeing this scene,

Ye Zhaojun knew he could not wait any longer.

He gritted his teeth, directly took out the remaining twenty-plus seventh-grade talismans from his storage ring, and roared loudly:

"Run!"
