350: Chapter 351 People from Lingxiao Sect Have Arrived!

Lin Zhentian, the Clan Chief of the Lin Family, personally led the team, bringing over ten elite Disciples from his clan to escort the restrained Li Family Disciples back to Longmai Mountain alongside the Cultivators of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain.

Along the way, Lin Zhentian felt both nervous and excited.

He was nervous because these Li Family Disciples were involved in collusion with the Demonic Path, and the slightest mistake could lead to big trouble;

He was excited because being able to establish a connection with the rising Ye Family of Longmai Mountain was undoubtedly a massive Opportunity for the Lin Family.

"Clan Chief Lin, thank you for your help this time."

Lin Zhentian hurriedly returned the salute, his face full of smiles: "Ancestor Ye, you are too kind! It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning! Besides, these Li Family traitors dared to collude with the Demonic Path and attack the Spiritual Land of the Ye Family, making them the common enemy of all us Righteous Path Cultivators! Although the Lin Family is small, we are willing to contribute our meager strength to eliminate the demons and defend the Dao!"

He spoke with righteousness and conviction.

The Lin Family Disciples behind him couldn't help but straighten their backs upon hearing this, their faces showing a sense of reflected glory.

Ye Changge found it amusing but did not expose him.

"Regardless, I, Ye, will keep this favor from Clan Chief Lin in mind."

As Ye Changge spoke, he took out a bulging bag from his Storage Pouch, along with a Talisman shimmering with spiritual light, and handed them over together, "This is five hundred Spirit Stones and a High Grade 'Gold Armor Talisman', as a small token of appreciation for all you Fellow Daoists. Please accept it, Clan Chief Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian was stunned at first, then waved his hands repeatedly, his face showing a hint of panic: "Ancestor Ye, what are you doing? It was just a small effort for me, how could I dare to accept your Spirit Stones and Talisman! This won't do, this won't do!"

He backed away as he spoke, as if what Ye Changge was handing him wasn't Spirit Stones and a Talisman, but a hot potato.

It wasn't that he didn't want them. On the contrary, he wanted them very much!

The Lin Family was just an inconspicuous small Family near Longmai Mountain, with only a hundred people in the whole clan, and the strongest among them was him, at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

Five hundred Spirit Stones was already a significant sum for the Lin Family. Moreover, that High Grade Talisman—the Gold Armor Talisman—was something that could save lives at critical moments!

But he dared not accept it.

Who was Ye Changge? The Old Ancestor of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a ruthless person who single-handedly killed three Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors of the Li Family!

How could he easily reach out to take something offered by such a figure?

"Clan Chief Lin, there is no need to be so polite." Ye Changge shook his head, his tone casual but refusing to be denied, "Your Lin Family Disciples have been busy running around helping; I cannot let you make the trip in vain. Accept it."

He paused and added, "In the future, when the Ye Family acts in the Longmai Mountain area, I will inevitably have to trouble Clan Chief Lin. If you are so distant, I will find it difficult to ask for help in the future."

Lin Zhentian understood the deeper meaning in Ye Changge's words and felt a surge of joy.

This meant he wanted to have a long-term relationship with the Lin Family!

He no longer refused, took the Spirit Stones and Talisman with both hands, bowed, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Thank you, Ancestor Ye! The Lin Family will keep the Old Ancestor's great kindness in our hearts! In the future, if there are any tasks, the entire Lin Family will surely do our utmost!"

He stood up straight and looked down at the Gold Armor Talisman in his hand.

The Talisman was golden all over, its spiritual power restrained, and the Talisman patterns were complex and exquisite, with every stroke revealing the style of a Great Master. Although it hadn't been activated, he could already feel the immense defensive power contained within it.

Lin Zhentian's pupils constricted slightly.

How could this be an ordinary High Grade Talisman? It was clearly of supreme quality!

On the market, such a High Grade defensive Talisman of this quality would cost at least two thousand Spirit Stones each, and it was priceless!

He was incredibly shocked and his admiration for Ye Changge deepened a few more degrees.

This Ancestor Ye was truly wealthy and generous!

A casual reward was a Talisman worth over two thousand Spirit Stones! Such a gesture and such demeanor; he was truly worthy of being a regional powerhouse who achieved Foundation Establishment at a young age and led the rise of the Ye Family!

Lin Zhentian carefully put the Spirit Stones and Talisman into his Storage Pouch, bowed to Ye Changge again, and said respectfully: "Ancestor Ye, if there are no other instructions, I will take my clan Disciples and withdraw first. Those Li Family traitors will be left to the Ye Family to guard. After I return, I will strictly discipline my clan members and will never let any news leak out."

Ye Changge nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Clan Chief Lin."

Lin Zhentian cupped his hands again, turned around, and waved his hand: "Lin Family Disciples, follow me back to the mountain!"

The Lin Family members responded in unison and followed behind Lin Zhentian, leaving Longmai Mountain in a grand procession.

Along the way, the Lin Family Disciples discussed in low voices, their faces filled with excitement.

"That Ancestor Ye truly has an extraordinary demeanor!"

"Isn't that so! He achieved Foundation Establishment at such a young age and is so generous! Five hundred Spirit Stones and a High Grade Talisman! Even if our Lin Family works hard for a year, we might not be able to save up that much wealth!"

"I heard that the Fairy Xiao beside Ancestor Ye is also a Second-Order Array Master! If our Lin Family can build a connection with the Ye Family, maybe we can benefit from it in the future..."

Hearing the discussion of his Disciples, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Lin Zhentian's mouth.

This trip today was worth it!

Those Li Family Disciples were imprisoned in a dungeon specifically cleared out by the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain, guarded day and night by the clan's elites, and sealed by a Restriction Formation personally set up by Xiao Caiyue, so even if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came, they wouldn't be able to easily rescue anyone.

After Ye Changge finished handling these trivial matters, he waited peacefully for news from the Lingxiao Sect.

However, this wait lasted for several days.

It wasn't that the Lingxiao Sect was slow; it was just that incidents involving the Demonic Path had been occurring too frequently lately.

Many Families under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sect had been affected to varying degrees.

Some were ambushed by secret agents of the Demonic Path, some were harassed by the remnants of the Jin Family, and even worse, some were directly attacked by the main army of Demonic Cultivators.

The entire Law Enforcement Hall was extremely busy, with Disciples running around, unable to keep up even working around the clock.

If it weren't for the fact that the deacon Disciple responsible for assigning tasks knew that Ye Changge had a close relationship with Xia Qingyue, the precious apprentice of his Hall Master, and had specifically moved his matter up in the queue, he might not have been attended to even after waiting another ten days or half a month.

On this day, the sky was slightly overcast, and suddenly, the sound of two streaks of light breaking through the air came from above Longmai Mountain.

Ye Changge was in the study discussing the layout plan of the Family Grand Array with Xiao Caiyue. Sensing those two auras, he raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and said: "People from the Lingxiao Sect have arrived."

Xiao Caiyue also sensed those two not-weak auras. She nodded, stood up, smoothed her clothes, and walked out of the study with Ye Changge.

The two arrived at the main gate of the Ye Family, only to see that the two streaks of light had already landed in front of the gate, revealing two figures.

The person in the lead was dressed in the standard green robe of the Lingxiao Sect, with a square face and a steady aura, clearly an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
