110: Chapter 110 Black Wind Stronghold
There was only one last stronghold left. Once this one was cleared, except for those three Martial Ancestor families, the entire east side of Luomu Mountain would be exposed before Ye Yisong. From then on, if anyone wanted to sneak into Luomu Mountain from the east, they absolutely could not hide it from Ye Yisong.
"Very well." Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui looked at his grandson, thinking that since it was only a few dozen kilometers away, it wouldn't take long, and he could also take the Opportunity to clear out unknown forces around the mineral vein, so he agreed to Ye Yisong's request.
"Thank you, Clan Chief Grandfather." Ye Yisong dared not even imagine that one day he would fight side-by-side with the Clan Chief.
"I'll go along too," General Affairs Elder Ye Jiefeng said. After these few incidents, he always felt that following Ye Yisong meant there would be meat to eat, and he wanted to get in on it as well.
"What are you going for? Guarding the mineral vein is more important," Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui heartlessly rejected General Affairs Elder Ye Jiefeng.
With Nine-Star Martial Sect Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui leading the way, it was much faster than Ye Yisong traveling on his own. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the last stronghold on the map—Black Wind Stronghold.
"Clan Chief Grandfather, let me handle this. I just happened to acquire a new type of Talisman, and I was originally planning to save it for this last stronghold." Just as Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui was about to wipe out Black Wind Stronghold with a single palm strike, Ye Yisong stopped him.
"Oh, then go ahead!" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui did not have much time to accompany Ye Yisong in training and just wanted to solve Black Wind Stronghold with one strike. Since Ye Yisong had his own ideas, he was happy to give his grandson some Face.
"Strike!"
Ye Yisong tossed a Talisman into the air, where it hovered. The Talisman split into five, and five men in golden armor appeared on the ground. Each of the golden-armored men had the strength of an Early Stage Martial Master. This Talisman was none other than the Beans-to-Soldiers Talisman that Ye Yisong had newly acquired.
Ye Yisong thoughtfully issued a Tier 3 weapon to each of the golden-armored men and ordered them to charge directly into Black Wind Stronghold, killing everyone they encountered and leaving no one alive.
"Where did you get this magical Talisman, kid?" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui asked. He could responsibly say that the Family definitely did not possess such a Talisman.
"Hehe, it was from that harvest at the Weishui River. I obtained a 'Talisman Compendium Grade 3' and it was recorded inside." Ye Yisong watched his golden-armored men rampaging through Black Wind Stronghold like tigers entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering in all directions. It was truly a great treasure.
Black Wind Stronghold only had two leaders who were Martial Master experts. The strongest, the Chief Leader, was only a 6-star Martial Master. Most of his underlings had already been killed by the time he rushed over from the back mountain. Seeing his underlings being wantonly slaughtered by the five golden-armored men, the Chief Leader hurriedly engaged three of the golden-armored men, while the Second Leader engaged the other two.
Those who could be bandit leaders still had some skills. The Chief Leader managed to disperse two of the golden-armored men within dozens of rounds. The last golden-armored man looked like he was about to fall as well. The bandit group's morale soared, and under the leadership of the two leaders, they began a counterattack, suppressing the remaining three golden-armored men.
"Strike!"
Seeing his summoned underlings being bullied, Ye Yisong did not hold back and unleashed three more Tier 3 High-grade Flame Explosion Talismans, directly covering the two leaders within the blast.
The Second Leader died on the spot, and the Chief Leader did not fare much better. He was struck in the back by one of the Talismans, his armor shattered, and he was then slashed in the left calf by a golden-armored man's sword, causing him to retreat rapidly.
How could Ye Yisong let him escape? That would mean coming here for nothing. He unleashed another Talisman, directly extinguishing the Chief Leader's last spark of life. From then on, all eight strongholds were completely wiped out.
Eight maps appeared neatly in Ye Yisong's mind!
Knowing that the Clan Chief did not have much time to waste here, Ye Yisong entered Black Wind Stronghold and headed straight for the back mountain. Before long, he returned with the treasures from Black Wind Stronghold's vault.
As for the remaining bandits, he left them to the three golden-armored men. The golden-armored men had a lifespan of half an hour, which was enough to deal with the remaining Tier 1 and Tier 2 Martial Artists.
"Clan Chief Grandfather, let's go!" Ye Yisong said, returning obediently to Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui's side.
"Good, let's return to the Family." Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui knew that Ye Yisong had obtained a great Opportunity in Shuinan County. After all, 4th Grade Talisman Technique was no small matter, and Ye Jiexin had already reported it to him.
It was a pity that it wasn't some other 4th Grade Talisman Technique Legacy. He just hadn't expected that Ye Yisong's Opportunity would still be paying off so well even now!
"Clan Chief Grandfather, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." Ye Yisong felt truly unnerved by the gaze. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at constantly by an expert over two hundred years old.
"What is the name of this Talisman of yours, and how many do you have left?" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui had not expected that he would one day have to ask his grandson for an Opportunity. This Talisman was simply too Heaven-Defying; it could actually summon five Early Stage Martial Master golden-armored men to fight.
If he could equip the Family's Genius descendants with a few such Talismans, their safety when traveling outside would be greatly improved, which would be very beneficial for the growth of the Family's Disciples.
"This Talisman is called the Beans-to-Soldiers Talisman. I made seven in total; I just used one, so there are six left." As Ye Yisong said this, he handed one to Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui. When he inadvertently turned his head, he noticed Ye Xiaosan also looking at him with burning eyes, so he took out another one and handed it to Ye Xiaosan.
When Ye Xiaosan received the Talisman, his eyes narrowed into slits. Following Nephew Yisong meant there was meat to eat! If he had known this earlier, how could he have given Ye Xiaowu a chance?
"You made these yourself?" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui asked.
"Yes," Ye Yisong replied with a chuckle, revealing his eight big white teeth.
"Good lad!" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui praised him. From the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the Talisman, he knew that Ye Yisong had already become a Tier 3 Talisman Master.
"Is this Talisman difficult to make? What Materials are needed?" Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui asked.
"It should be quite difficult. An average Tier 3 Talisman Master would probably find it hard to succeed. Its main material requires Spirit Wood that is over a thousand years old. Only with sufficient spirituality can the strength of the summoned Golden-Armored Divine Soldiers be guaranteed to reach the Early Stage Martial Master level, or even higher." Ye Yisong's uncertain tone carried a hint of certainty, and he took the Opportunity to advertise himself a bit. After all, he had only managed to make these seven Talismans by cheating.
"What a pity." Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui sighed. Many thousand-year-old Spirit Woods had already grown into Tier 4 Spirit Woods; using them to make Tier 3 Talismans was too wasteful.
Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui did not ask any other questions. He examined the Talisman in his hand for a while and then naturally tucked it into his Storage Pouch.
After arriving at Luomu Mountain, Clan Leader Ye Tuanhui dropped Ye Yisong off at his cultivation courtyard and took Ye Xiaosan back to Dali Courtyard. Before leaving, he gave Ye Yisong some advice.
"Don't run around recklessly for this period of time. Opportunities aren't that easy to find. Stay at home, focus on Cultivation, and properly prepare for next month's Cangjiang Prefecture Examination. That is the stage where you should showcase your strength."
Since everyone thought he was out treasure hunting, Ye Yisong decided to just confirm that suspicion. That was actually fine; it saved him from having to make up excuses whenever he went out in the future.
