Taihang Commandery, Ding'an County, the entire county town was in chaos at this moment. Outside the Xi City Wall, fierce winds rose, forming swirling black-green storms.

These storms were composed of Spirit-Slaying Locusts, each as fierce as its compatriots. The sound of a single locust's wings buzzing was intimidating enough, not to mention the multitude of them.

In the county town, there was an Array in place, forming a massive Spirit Shield, like a Spirit Net, covering the town.

On the city wall, several Cultivators from the Yuan Family were resisting with worried expressions.

In the distance, three black-green storms began to converge.

This caused their expressions to change drastically as they clutched a series of Sound Transmission Talismans in their hands.

However, the talisman didn't transmit even a hint of activity.

Next, a cacophony of hissing and exploding sounds was heard as the massive swarm of Spirit-Slaying Locusts turned direction, heading towards the town.

They were in need of blood sustenance.

Boom!

As soon as these locusts encountered the Array, they began spewing dark green venom onto the Spirit Shield.

The venom from a single locust wasn't much, but the venom of thousands pooled into a toxic lake.

The entire County Protection Array began to dissolve and melt in an instant.

An opening appeared in the Array, and at that moment, the Spirit-Slaying Locusts burst through the breach like arrows loosed from a bow.

These locusts were even larger than ordinary Spirit-Slaying Locusts, with gigantic jaws filled with fangs, and their locust blades were tough and serrated, glistening with dark green poison and radiating a black-green glow.

The faces of those Cultivators quickly turned to despair.

After all, in the face of four to five thousand Spirit-Slaying Locusts, escape was impossible.

No matter if they killed ten, a hundred, or even a thousand, they could not escape the fate of death.

They were only five people after all.

And none were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Expend the last of our mana." The group looked calmly at the desperate mortals without hysteria.

They finally began to perform the Fiery Fire Skill with all their might.

The Fiery Fire Skill blossomed into several Fire Snakes, surging through the air relentlessly.

However, when the Fire Snakes touched the Spirit-Slaying Locusts, sizzling sounds erupted, and their power quickly diminished.

Besides being highly toxic, the Spirit-Slaying Locusts' venom could also greatly extinguish the Fire Snakes.

Inevitably, those Fire Snakes were soon submerged.

The entire county town was completely submerged as well.

At this moment, in the distance, Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jing Hu, and others continued to gradually ride the Spiritual Ship in their approach.

"Patriarch, we could be faster…" Ye Jing Hu was somewhat puzzled.

Because in front of him was a town with thousands of mortals.

In his view, the Cultivators of the Yuan Family could be a major threat, but the mortals of the Yuan Family were not.

"Jing Hu, don't you think the timing of the Spirit-Slaying Locust attacks has been perfect along the way?" Ye Jingcheng asked Ye Jing Hu.

A deep glint appeared in his eyes.

He sensed a deep-seated dread.

Indeed, the tricks they used against the Ye Family were being replayed, but this time with the Yuan Family.

The Yuan Family had suffered heavy losses, and as long as the Taiyi Sect couldn't find fault with the Yuan Family, there was no possibility of investigating them.

In fact, the Yuan Family was the true culprit attracting the Taiyi Sect's attention.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng even began to worry about Ye Xingqun.

If he had known, he would have informed Ye Haicheng and the Turtle Ancestor in advance.

And he was so certain because he sensed the potential for advancement in many insect eggs, but they never appeared in the locust outbreak.

There was only one possibility: these Spirit-Slaying Locusts were controlled by someone.

Moreover, the Yuan Family was even more ruthless than the Ye Family, completely indifferent to the mortals under their rule.

Of course, it's uncertain how many of the mortals were originally from the Yuan Family itself.

But it must account for a significant portion; otherwise, there would be no need for such measures.

"Patriarch, do you think these Spirit-Slaying Locusts were waiting for us?" Ye Jing Hu also thought about the various situations encountered along the way.

Indeed, things had been too coincidental; every time the Ye Family or Taiyi Sect Cultivators could rescue, an attack occurred.

But this rescue required unleashing terrifying speed.

Doing so would likely deplete a large amount of Spiritual Energy, leading to exhaustion for the rescuing Cultivators.

If they really went all out to rescue, and the Spirit-Slaying Locusts unleashed unexpected tactics, the Ye Family might suffer a crushing defeat in an unforgiving situation.

It was indeed possible for the Spirit-Slaying Locusts to eliminate part of their main force.

This was undoubtedly a spectacle that would please the Yuan Family.

Of course, if Ye Jingcheng hid his true Cultivation, the result might be different.

But in that case, if the Ye Family got exposed, the consequences would be even more severe for them.

Ye Jing Hu thought about this and couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

"What the family shows you isn't what the Cultivation Realm shows you!" Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Jing Hu, effectively delivering the first lesson to this talented young Ye clan member in his twenties.

Ye Jingcheng harbored no dissatisfaction towards Ye Jing Hu. Just as in his twenties, the family would guide him during smaller events.

As long as Ye Jing Hu could learn from these experiences and avoid making mistakes at critical moments, it would suffice.

Seeing the Spirit-Slaying Locusts begin to scatter and devour within the city, Ye Jingcheng finally arrived leisurely with the Ye Family members.

Once outside the city, the Ye Clan released Spirit Beasts specifically targeting the Spirit-Slaying Locusts.

Among them was the Ye Family's Lizard Lord.

With a roll of its tongue, it could capture dozens of Spirit-Slaying Locusts.

Moreover, its tongue always retrieved the plumpest locusts.

Besides the Lizard Lord, the other Earth Lizard Spirit Beasts of the Ye Family did the same.

Their tongues were all working fervently.

After all, these Spirit-Slaying Locusts had gorged on blood sustenance, each with a swollen stomach, and had slowed considerably.
