One sword shatters mountains, one sword breathes through rivers.

Both beams of light fell, and two Great Demons stained the Qinghai with their blood, unable to even let out a wail of pain.

Although the Sword-tooth Shark was strong, it was merely a Tier Three Mid-Stage Great Demon.

Faced with such a huge gap, the sword was drawn, and the demon extinguished!

"Willing!" The Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon spoke in human language, though its voice was rather harsh, as if it hadn't spoken for a long while.

Yet, one could see the fear emanating from its soul.

A single sword decapitates a demon.

This demon was not just any demon, but a Purple Mansion Great Demon.

The Golden Rhinoceros itself was merely a Tier Three Peak Great Demon.

Ye Xuecang saw this, formed a spirit technique with his hand, and simultaneously threw out a compass.

The spirit technique transformed into a large beast seal, and the beast seal entered the compass, quickly enveloping the Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon.

The Golden Rhinoceros Great Demon tried to struggle, but upon receiving a glare from Ye Xuecang, it quickly gave up and was absorbed into the compass by spiritual light.

As the compass turned into points of light, it flew toward Ye Xuecang.

However, as he looked at the compass still burning with cyan flame, Ye Xuecang turned to Ye Jingcheng.

"Second Granduncle, let Xiaoyan retrieve it!" The Red Flame Fox scurried over, and with a bright mark on its brow, a spirit net appeared once more, obediently extracting the Cyan Yang Flame from the compass and into the Red Flame Fox's forehead.

As the Red Flame Fox absorbed the flame, its aura suddenly grew slightly stronger.

This surprised Ye Jingcheng.

It seemed the Cyan Yang Flame could also enhance the Red Flame Fox.

But soon, Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

He knew that the vitality of the Golden Rhinoceros was too strong, indirectly nourishing the Red Flame Fox with some vital qi.

However, if he wanted to use the Cyan Yang Flame to strengthen the Red Flame Fox, it would be extremely difficult.

An ordinary demon beast might not even have enough vital qi to withstand the consumption, while a powerful demon beast would pose great danger.

Just like this Golden Rhinoceros.

If it weren't for the family array, Ye Shengyi's desperate resistance, and Ye Xuecang's initial three swords.

Ye Jingcheng feared that he would have died several times over by now.

Just like now, the shell of the Tai Cang Turtle before him was more than half shattered; possibly the most severe injury Turtle Ancestor had suffered.

Its entire aura had withered to the extreme.

In addition to the Tai Cang Turtle, his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Golden Falcon were also severely injured.

His Golden Falcon had almost broken both wings, and many scales had fallen from the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Besides Ye Jingcheng's spirit beasts being injured, Ye Jingcheng also saw the Barbaric Fire Cyan Ox with one horn half-broken, seeming to have battled fiercely with the Golden Rhinoceros.

Actually, in Ye Jingcheng's view, Ye Xuecang should have slain the Golden Rhinoceros.

Because there were too many Ye Family spirit beasts here.

If not for the spirit beasts' thoughts, it might lead to them being less willing to fight fiercely in the future.

But since Ye Xuecang subdued it, he naturally wouldn't say a word.

Because he saw Ye Xuecang's hand trembling, saw four swords become three, and saw cracks in two of those three swords.

Perhaps this was the best ending.

Moreover, what worried him most was whether the Sea-covering Demon King would appear again.

After all, if Ye Xuecang hadn't successfully broken through, perhaps the Sea-covering Demon King wouldn't have been so much of a threat, but now that Ye Xuecang had succeeded, even if the Sea-covering Demon King wanted to make up for losses, he might still come to investigate.

If it could shatter them with a single water ball from tens of miles away, its strength was likely formidable even among Golden Cores.

"Everyone, tidy the battlefield and prepare to leave!" Ye Xuecang spoke aloud.

His voice was filled with calm and composure, then he waved his hand, taking several chunks of Tier Three Great Demon Beast Meat to distribute among all the Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts.

The Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts had fought to this point, and each one needed flesh and blood of equal tier to cleanse its pain.

Only by harvesting could these spirit beasts become more ferocious.

Today arose because of him, so it must be him to feed them as well.

Then he looked towards Ye Shengyi.

"Father, your worries are unfounded!" Ye Xuecang, with white hair, displayed an air of authority.

He was the second ancestor of the Ye Family.

But, he was also Ye Shengyi's son.

Ye Shengyi appeared even older, and as the blood light faded, his body seemed deflated and discolored.

Only in his eyes could one find a bright depth.

Yet, his vitality seemed scant.

Still, he smiled.

"Well done!" His voice was gentle, but there was an undertone of powerlessness and pride.

The powerlessness stemmed from his inability to continue on the Immortal Path, but the pride was in the Ye Family once again producing a Golden Core.

Moreover, the current situation of the Ye Family was incredibly favorable.

The intertwining of Ming Peak and Hidden Peak, the strategy between the East Sea and Yan Kingdom acting as a mutual buffer.

These factors had provided the Ye Family with a foothold.

"Rest and heal, I shall slay the Golden Core Demon King for father!" Ye Xuecang declared.

Generally, a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation sufficient for breakthrough gave two possibilities: one was to consume a Demon King's Demon Pill, form a Fake Pill, and become a Golden Core cultivator, but remaining at the Early Stage for life without increased longevity.

The other was a normal breakthrough to Golden Core, at minimum a Lower Grade Golden Core, with longevity also spanning a thousand years!

Ye Shengyi did not respond.

Instead, he looked at Ye Xuefan, who had already withdrawn the array and pulled out a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Shuttle.

This Spirit Shuttle was so large that it could easily carry over a thousand people, not to mention the mere few dozen of the Ye Family present.

Everyone boarded the Spirit Shuttle, and they quickly departed.

Once the Spirit Shuttle was distant, the island erupted in an array just as it always did.

The Ye Family naturally ensured no traces were left in their actions.

Once on the Spiritual Ship, Ye Xuecang retreated to the cabin, along with Ye Shengyi and Ye Xuefan.

They were all severely wounded, paradoxically with Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haige, the two from the Purple Mansion, sustaining the least injuries.

Ye Jingcheng took out healing elixirs, preparing to administer them to his spirit beasts.

At this moment, Ye Haige and Ye Haisheng approached.

"Jingcheng, how is elder brother?" Ye Haige inquired, worriedly, as he had not seen Ye Haicheng all along.

The Demon King hadn't gone to his Stone King Island, which meant it must have gone to Sea Heart Island.

Because only Sea Heart Island's Demon-enticing Grass was of a higher grade than his own.

And it was the closest to the Outer Sea.

As Ye Haige approached, Ye Haisheng also spoke from the side:

"Young ones shouldn't overreach themselves; if Brother Haige had gone to Sea Heart Island, perhaps there wouldn't have been as much trouble!"

Having said that, he took out two Demon Pills, clearly from two Tier Three Great Demons.

Though only Early Stage Tier Three Great Demons, it demonstrated that Ye Haige and company had slain two Tier Three Great Demons in the process.

"Grandfather is fine!" Ye Jingcheng summoned Turtle Ancestor to release Ye Haicheng, who was now meditating and healing, having consumed healing elixirs. His injuries were still severe.

But at least there was no life-threatening danger.

"Haisheng, return and start the Spiritual Ship!" Ye Haige's face instantly changed, glaring angrily at Ye Haisheng.

At this time, all clansmen were present here, not exclusively from Crane Concealment Island but also from Cangyin Island, Sand Concealment Island, and nearly ten Hidden Islands combined.

In the Taihang Mountain Range, the Ye Family had only seven Hidden Peaks, but with these years of rapid development in the East Sea, freed from restrictions, they now had ten Hidden Islands.

However, he knew that though Ye Haisheng bore the Sea Generation title, he was actually a descendant of the Xue Generation, only seventy years old, and resembled young ones in competitiveness.

"Apologies for Brother and Jingcheng seeing this," Ye Haige explained.

But hearing this, Ye Jingcheng realized he had not heard of the nineteenth Xue Generation, indicating that the Xue Generation Granduncle had already passed away.

"Haige, go pilot the Spirit Shuttle now, remember, drive it with all your might!" Ye Haicheng cared little for Ye Haisheng, aware that the Ye Family's numerous Hidden Peaks weren't solely for development?

However, with Ye Xuecang's presence, capable of suppressing everything, and given the severe external threats faced by the Ye Family, coupled with only a single Beast Communication Tower, people weren't worried about problems arising.

On the contrary, having multiple Hidden Islands indeed strengthened the Ye Family significantly.

But having witnessed the power of the Sea-covering Demon King, his concern was it might catch up.

Ye Xuecang and Ye Shengyi hadn't spoken much, a necessity to stabilize everyone's morale.

But having stayed on Lingyun Peak for so long, Ye Haicheng knew that every precaution must be taken with utmost caution!
