Chapter 200: The demons are causing chaos, the spiritual land belongs to them
The Yu family was destroyed so quickly that even the nearby families didn't have time to react.
When the news spread, everyone was shocked. Some nearby families were frightened and then they carefully and quietly sent people to Qingling Lake to check.
Only some spiritual fluctuations remained in the broken formation, and the pavilions and towers of the past were now deserted.
On Qingling Lake, the water chestnut leaves are still as green as before, and a few brave cultivators are still fishing for water chestnuts in the lake.
No one thought that a family of immortal cultivators could resist the will of the Three Pure Ones Sect, but such a tragic ending would inevitably make the immortal cultivators feel sympathetic.
Especially since there has been too much peace and stability for a long time, many family disciples have forgotten that the world of immortal cultivation is an orderly world with realm first and strength second.
Now that they have been hit hard, many people have quickly put themselves in the right position.
There were even rumors that the Yu family was colluding with the demon clan, which was not the truth behind the Yu family's demise.
The real reason was that the Yu family offended a deacon of the Sanqing Sect.
Although it was not stated explicitly who it was, a figure emerged in the minds of those who were familiar with the family affairs.
Above Qingling Lake, Ye Yunqi came flying in the air.
Following behind was Yu Meizi.
Ye Yunqi's impression of Yu Meizi also changed greatly. She usually looked very friendly and harmless, but when facing a tiger monster in the late stage of the host, she actually beat the tiger monster by herself.
Especially the move that was tainted with the meaning of time. Ye Yunqi had no idea how to deal with it. He was practicing the "Flying Thunder Art", but although the lightning was fast, it could not escape the shackles of time.
Yu Meizi looked at the ground and saw many independent cultivators salvaging water chestnuts or searching in pavilions and towers, trying to find the cultivation resources left behind by those who had confiscated the property of the Sanqing Sect.
Some people even had their eyes on these buildings, but these buildings themselves were extremely solid, and some casual cultivators with shallow cultivation were powerless to demolish them.
There were even some unidentified people exploring the vicinity.
He snorted coldly, the sound was not loud, but as the spiritual power spread, the whole Qingling Lake could hear it clearly: "The Yu family of Qingling Lake colluded with the monsters and has been exterminated by the Sanqing Sect. The Qingling Lake spiritual land has another owner. Fellow Taoists, please leave."
Although they were somewhat reluctant, the fate of the Yu family was clear, and the people on Qingling Lake dispersed one after another.
Suddenly, a voice came over: "Fellow Daoist from Qingyue Sect? Could it be that this Qingling Lake spiritual land belongs to your Qingyue Sect?"
I saw a man walking in the air and flying up.
Ye Yunqi was not familiar with this man, but Yu Meizi seemed to know this man.
"Wang Tianming, this has nothing to do with you. Why are you here? Shouldn't you go to Sanqing Sect?" Yu Meizi said coldly.
The man called Wang Tianming chuckled and said, "I was just about to go to Sanqing Sect. I heard that Sanqing Sect was angry, so I came to see what was going on. After all, it's rare to see someone's property being confiscated and their clan being exterminated."
Ye Yunqi asked in a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Yu, who is this person?"
Yu Meizi said directly: "This is Wang Tianming. He is not from the Sanqing Sect, but a disciple of the nearby Wanxiang Sect. If I guess correctly, he should be preparing to go to the Sanqing Sect to discuss important matters."
Wang Tianming looked at Ye Yunqi, smiled and nodded, then said: "Yes, I am Wang Tianming, the true disciple of the Wanxiang Sect. I wonder what the deacon of the Sanqing Sect is called?"
Ye Yunqi was still wearing the deacon robe of the Sanqing Sect, so Wang Tianming naturally recognized him as a fellow Taoist of the Sanqing Sect.
Ye Yunqi cupped his hands and said, "I am Ye Yunqi."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ye." Wang Tianming nodded with a smile, suddenly remembering the rumors he had just heard on the ground.
The Yu family was destroyed because they offended a deacon of the Sanqing Sect.
According to a famous law, the murderer always likes to return to the crime scene. Could it be... ?
Although Wang Tianming's reasoning was a bit ridiculous, by chance, it actually came true.
Wang Tianming asked tentatively, "Just now you said that this place has another owner, don't you know?"
Ye Yunqi was quite frank and said, "I have made some achievements, so this spiritual land is allocated to me."
"Congratulations." Wang Tianming raised his hand and saluted. "But as a deacon of the Sanqing Sect, why are you occupying a spiritual place outside?"
Ye Yunqi was about to say all of this, but Yu Meizi snorted coldly: "Wang Tianming, you are asking too many questions. This matter has nothing to do with your Wanxiang Sect."
Wang Tianming smiled awkwardly and said, “That’s true, but the monsters are not at peace right now, so I can’t help but ask a few more questions to prevent the monsters from causing trouble in the Wanxiang Sect!”
Yu Meizi said unkindly: "You didn't even ask about the monsters. If Wanxiang Sect continues with this attitude, it will be harmed by monsters sooner or later!"
Wang Tianming asked a lot of questions, and it was obvious that he was thinking that the destruction of the Yu family had other reasons, that the Sanqing Sect framed them for their own selfish interests, and that there was no real monster causing trouble.
Although Yu Meizi always showed kindness to Ye Yunqi, she seemed harmless.
But as an elder of Qingyue Sect, she is not a naive person. She can hear these weird sounds.
Wang Tianming cupped his hands: “How could it be…”
Suddenly, Wang Tianming was stunned for a moment, then he took out a message talisman. After his spiritual consciousness connected, his expression became three points gloomier.
Then he put away the message talisman, suppressed his anger, and said, "I am sorry to bother you two. I still have to go to Sanqing Sect, so I won't say more."
"Wait a minute, Wang Tianming, what news did you receive?" Yu Meizi was a very smart person. Seeing Wang Tianming's expression change, she immediately guessed something and took the opportunity to ask.
Wang Tianming didn't want to say it, but this kind of thing couldn't be kept secret and would spread quickly.
What's more, I just asked a question and the other party gave the answer.
Now that the other party asked him the question, he avoided answering it, which only brought shame to the Wanxiang Sect.
The Wanxiang Sect is equivalent to the Sanqing Sect. How could Wang Tianming not compare himself with the Sanqing Sect's deacon in his long robe?
Wang Tianming tried to keep a straight face and said vaguely, "There are demons causing chaos in my Wanxiang Sect. I got the news and it made me angry. I still have to go to Sanqing Sect. If you two don't want to go, then we can say goodbye now."
Yu Meizi snorted, "Go ahead, we have other things to do."
Wang Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and then flew away on his sword.
Ye Yunqi was a little puzzled: "Why don't you ask a few more questions?"
Yu Meizi smiled and said, "It won't be long before the sect will pass on the news of such a big event. Let's let him go. After all, he is a guest in the Sanqing Sect. There is no need to embarrass him for the sake of saving face."
Ye Yunqi was not a member of a sect, so he didn't know much about the interactions and intrigues between sects.
However, he also has an advantage. If he is not clear about something, he will not cause trouble.
After some conversation, most of the wandering cultivators near Qingling Lake had left.
Yu Meizi and Ye Yunqi and landed by the lake, looking around the place.
The Yu family was built by the lake, and the entire territory just happened to include the Qingling Lake as an inner lake.
But because of the existence of the lake, the land area is actually not that large.
But the Yu family obviously had a large number of people, so they built many buildings on the lakeside using bamboo and wood.
Ye Yunqi looked around and had some guesses in his mind.
Qingling Lake is rich in Qingling, and if it is not monopolized, there will be a lot of trouble. However, after occupying Qingling Lake, the land area is not enough, so the Yu family has more needs for territory. So when the Jiang family was declining, the Yu family was the most active and jumped up and down.
There is no other reason, he just wants to occupy the Jade Valley of Jiang family.
At that time, we can separate out into branches and establish separate families.
But as a strange combination of circumstances, he didn't miss a bite of meat, but he was beaten several times.
With no other options left, they colluded with the demon clan.
Ye Yunqi analyzed it in his mind, but felt that something was wrong.
Even if I get beaten, I can still live my life by swallowing my anger. Do I have to collude with the demons?
Besides, these demons are hiding in human territory, so it’s not easy to find them.
How come the Yu family just happened to collude with the demon clan?
However, the details of the matter can only wait for the Sanqing Sect to continue investigating.
Now all the members of the Yu family have been taken to the Sanqing Sect.
Even if Ye Yunqi wanted to investigate, he had no clue.
Not long after, the jade seal and jade token on his waist suddenly flashed, as if some news had come.
Ye Yunqi picked one at random and used his spiritual sense to explore it.
"There is a demon tribe causing chaos in the Wanxiang Sect's territory, slaughtering immortal cultivation families one after another, and destroying three families. We should take this as a warning, and the elders from all places should investigate more and pay attention to the situation in various places."
Ye Yunqi put down the jade seal and exchanged a glance with Yu Meizi. There was a hint of realization in their eyes. He thought that Wang Tianming must have received this news just now, so he looked embarrassed and acted in a hurry, right?
If he stayed until now, it would be a huge disgrace.
The Sanqing Sect at least took precautions, exposed the demon clan's schemes in advance, and even captured those who colluded with the demon clan.
Confiscating property and exterminating the clan is the result of punishment. It is not like the Wanxiang Sect, where three immortal cultivation families were slaughtered.
"Ah." Ye Yunqi sighed softly, "I wonder if there are any survivors of these three families now."
Which immortal cultivation family has not lasted for thousands of years? After cultivating immortals, the years seemed to no longer be so long.
But once you encounter a disaster, you can do nothing about it.
Yu Meizi comforted him, "There will definitely be survivors. In addition to the family sacred land, there will be other members of the family doing business or traveling outside. There are also those with outstanding talents in the family who will join the sect. When they encounter disasters, these people are still alive."
"It's just that it's hard to rebuild the family."
Ye Yunqi nodded.
Once a family is destroyed, people doing business or traveling outside basically have no ability to rebuild their family.
Those who join the sect have differences in their own philosophies with their family, and they are more inclined to the sect's philosophies.
Even if one is gifted and has resources, it is difficult to leave the sect and establish a family.
Although the family bloodline is not extinct and some descendants still exist, this family was eventually scattered by wind and rain.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's clean up this place. This is your territory from now on." Yu Meizi quickly changed the subject.
Ye Yunqi suppressed the sigh in his heart. No matter what, the Ye family was different from other families.
For other families, the upper limit is too low, and at most they can have a Foundation Establishment Master in charge.
Once the demon clan rebels, a few great demons in the foundation-building stage can massacre the entire clan.
As for the Ye family, I will be the upper limit of the Ye family from now on. How far I can go will determine the upper limit of the Ye family.
As long as you are strong enough, no matter how many monsters come, it will be of no use.
"Well, thank you very much for your help, Brother Yu." Ye Yunqi bowed.
Yu Meizi is an elder of the Qingyue Sect, not a member of the Ye family. She followed Ye Yun and stood up, and her appearance was purely out of friendship.
Yu Meizi smiled and said, "The sooner you settle down, the more stable my source of third-level divine water will be."
That being said, Ye Yunqi understood that the relationship between the two was by no means as simple as buying and selling magical water.
The two of them slowly walked into the area that once belonged to the Yu family. This was once the prosperous place of the Yu family, with pavilions and towers scattered around. Although it is a little dilapidated now, you can still see its former glory.
Ye Yunqi looked at these remaining buildings and couldn't help but have other plans in his mind. This was his first time visiting Qingling Lake, and Ye Yunqi had no opinion on the buildings here.
But now that Qingling Lake is his own territory, he can't help but feel that the previous Yu family buildings were really messy, cramped, and lacking in aesthetic appeal.
I think it’s because the number of family members is increasing.
They first began to clean up the remaining pavilions and towers. They were not in a hurry to demolish them, but they had to clean up the garbage first.
Cleaning up the remaining formations is a more difficult task.
The Yu family once set up a powerful formation here to protect the safety of the family.
However, these formations have now been shattered by the people of Sanqing Sect, but the remaining spiritual energy is still chaotic and occasionally dangerous.
However, for Ye Yunqi and Yu Meizi, two Foundation Establishment Masters, it was nothing.
However, it is still extremely dangerous for some low-level monks or mortals.
Among Ye Yunqi's concubines, many are mortals.
Among the offspring to be born in the future, there will certainly be many who do not have spiritual roots or are not old enough to practice cultivation, and naturally cannot withstand these dangers.
After some effort, they finally cleared out most of the remaining spiritual power from the formation.
In order to ensure the safety here, they decided to temporarily set up a new formation.
Ye Yunqi took out a formation plate from his storage bag. This formation plate was carefully prepared by him and was engraved with mysterious runes.
He placed the formation plate on the ground and injected his own spiritual power into it.
The runes on the array disk began to glow, and then the array disk flew out, growing in the wind and transforming into several streams of light that fell in all directions.
The streams of light from all directions echoed with each other, and an invisible formation was formed.
Of course, this hastily arranged formation is very fragile.
It covers such a large area. As for its defensive effectiveness, it can only be said to defend against gentlemen but not villains. If it is attacked forcefully, even a person in the middle stage of Qi training will be able to break through it.
It's more of a warning than a defense.
But now that the formation is completed, it means that this place has an owner, and the formation is connected to Ye Yunqi's mind. If someone breaks in by force, Ye Yunqi will be able to discover and arrive in the first time.
In the territory of Sanqing Sect, apart from the demon clan, no one would think of forcing their way into the territory, right?
