Chapter 1199: Chapter 822: Divine Light True Monarch, Tier 5 Secret Technique as a Gift (Two-in-One)

Not far from the front of Yellow Court Mountain, a Profound Light Ship swiftly flew by.

The Spiritual Ship where Ye Jingcheng was aboard was about to reach Yellow Court Mountain, and the surrounding scenery seemed to improve.

A verdant stretch of mountains filled the view, with ancient woods that could grow up to tens of meters tall.

The broad leaves, shining against the morning light, were exceptionally beautiful.

Actually, many peaks at the border between Jiayuan Prefecture and Xiaoshan Prefecture are quite suitable for establishing sects, but no sect dares to inhabit these places. Even loose cultivators only occasionally seek some spiritual objects here.

On the Spiritual Ship, Huang Tiyun and other Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Celestial Sand Sect all heaved a sigh of relief.

In their eyes, returning to Xiaoshan Prefecture meant safety.

They exchanged glances and smiled at each other.

Before coming to Jiayuan Prefecture, they had prepared themselves for death.

But not only did they avoid trouble, they even avenged past humiliation and gained considerable harvest, each with several storage bags on their waists.

There were many young members of the Ye Family in the same situation.

Only Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingcheng remained extremely vigilant.

It was too quiet; whether in Abyss Valley or Yellow Court Mountain ahead, the peace was somewhat peculiar.

Ye Jingcheng stood at the bow of the ship, spiritual light shooting from his eyes, resembling stars as he gazed into the distance.

"Something’s wrong, the spiritual energy there is different!" The next moment, Ye Jingcheng’s pupils dilated slightly, and the Profound Light Ship immediately turned around.

Unsure if there was an ambush, he wouldn’t take any chances as long as there was the slightest difference.

Simultaneously, the Nine-sided Spirit Sail was fully activated, and the escape speed became incredibly fast, leaving residual images behind.

They narrowly avoided countless spiritual lights forming into an array.

Almost as Ye Jingcheng turned, several strong auras erupted from distant peaks, and a Spirit Ship shot out from the mountains, quickly giving chase.

A gigantic ghost head loomed over the Spirit Ship; it was the Ghost Spirit Ship from Gui Xuan Sect.

"Elder Qianchen, why are they ahead of us?" Huang Tiyun took out a magical artifact, fear evident on his face, as he saw the lead cultivator was Master Mo Yu of Demon Jade Mountain.

Besides Master Mo Yu, there were two Golden Core True Masters from Gui Xuan Sect and two Ghost King Banners.

The aura of the three wasn’t below the middle stage of Golden Core, and it was unclear if there were others concealed on the Spirit Ship.

"There must be a concealed teleportation array in the border mountains!" Ye Jingcheng spoke helplessly.

His Profound Light Ship wasn’t particularly fast, but no one could silently get ahead under his divine sense.

Jiayuan Prefecture lacked Golden Core battle power due to the orthodox sect’s plot, giving them an opening.

But Xiaoshan Prefecture was the same; he didn’t think Mansion Master Xiao could bring any Golden Core to support.

To stay and fight was a notion Ye Jingcheng dismissed immediately after it arose.

Unless he could kill with one strike, facing unknown strength would be a death trap, ultimately exposing the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor prematurely.

Such a venture might yield little, but the Ye Family’s trump card would be completely lost and possibly subjected to investigation by the orthodox sect, a great loss to the entire Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng’s fleeing naturally infuriated Master Mo Yu.

Though Demon Jade Mountain had many branches on other Spirit Mountains, the main peak had been dismantled, even Mo Yunzi, a carefully nurtured junior, was killed.

He couldn’t swallow this anger, thus promised great treasures to bring Gui Xuan Sect cultivators with him through teleportation, intending an ambush unnoticed by Ye Jingcheng’s Star Illusion Eye, which caught the array’s fluctuations.

He didn’t fall into the array.

"Rest assured, we have a siege, perfect to catch them all!" The elder from Gui Xuan Sect wasn’t so sure, holding a skull-faced compass, his face full of confidence.

"But, Mo Yu Daoist, aiding you this time incurs great risk for our Gui Xuan Sect. Do you know what those hypocrites of the orthodox sect found? They’ve discovered a grotto heaven of Divine Light True Monarch in Deserted Prefecture." another Gui Xuan Sect cultivator added.

Master Mo Yu’s body trembled at this revelation.

He finally understood why the orthodox lineage, fearful of entering Nanman Province, would launch a major attack.

They wanted to divert Golden Core power across various prefectures to search for the inheritance of Divine Light True Monarch in Deserted Prefecture.

Divine Light True Monarch was famed across the Central Domain, a significant figure five thousand years ago, said to be a step away from Divinity Transformation and becoming a Divine Monarch in the Central Domain.

The key was his cultivation of the Great Sun Divine Light Technique, which highly countered evil cultivation techniques.

If the orthodox sect succeeds, Gui Xuan Sect could face severe punishment.

"Elder Gui Yuan, rest assured. This ambush was Demon Jade Mountain’s request for killing the enemy, and I will find you five spirit materials for Five Sons United Demon; outside sect inheritance, it’s yours," Master Mo Yu said earnestly.

Though internally, he was in deep pain.

He had no other choice; their opponent could kill Mo Yunzi across Demon Jade Mountain’s grand array, indicating strength at least at the late stage of Golden Core; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this fast.

He had no chance alone.

But he had to kill the opponent, inheriting a legacy was one reason, and reclaiming reputation was another.
