166: Chapter 166 The Monsters Are Coming

At the very last moment, Wang Jingcheng finally regained his senses. Utilizing the recoil force from Ye Jiesheng's cage staff, he retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and Ye Jiesheng.

"Ye Ronghui, Ye Jiesheng, don't push me too far! I was just passing through and happened to be thirsty, so I asked Wei Chengyue for a cup of water. Who knew he would go mad? The moment he saw me, he tried to suck me into the exquisite small tower, and later, he even used lightning to blast and injure me!" Wang Jingyu stood in the distance, pointing angrily at Ye Ronghui, twisting the truth.

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Ronghui sneered. "Wang Jingyu, you are as shameless as ever. No, it's that your entire Wang Family is shameless."

"Grand Elder, why bother talking to him? Let's attack together. While he's sick, we'll take his life and slaughter him!" Ye Jiesheng said, brandishing his staff to establish his dominance, his voice full of Killing Intent.

"You just wait! If I don't avenge this, I am not worthy of being a member of the Wang Family!" Seeing that Ye Jiesheng and the others were about to join forces, Wang Jingyu immediately crushed the Grade 4 Teleportation Talisman hidden in his sleeve, turning into a streak of light and disappearing before them.

"Hmph, that old rascal is lucky he ran fast." Ye Jiesheng snorted coldly. He turned to look at Ye Ronghui and saw the flush on his face visibly fading, replaced by extreme paleness. He immediately rushed over to support him. "Grand Elder, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, I'm getting old." Ye Ronghui waved his hand, signaling he was fine. "Let's go, we need to regroup with your father and the others."

"Yes," Ye Jiesheng replied, bowing respectfully.

"Look, the Grand Elder and Brother Jiesheng are back!" Ye Jietie pointed at the two figures flying from the distance, saying with great joy.

"Greetings, Grand Elder," everyone bowed and saluted.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Grandfather Ye Tuantu asked softly, looking at the pale-faced Ye Ronghui with concern.

"I am fine. It's just that I haven't fought in a long time, and my control over the Thunder Fire Dragon Pearl has become a bit rusty. I've drained some Origin Qi, but I will recover after a few days of recuperation in the Family," Ye Ronghui said nonchalantly.

"How are things on your side?"

"In this ambush, we killed a total of three Middle Stage Martial Ancestor cultivators from the Wei and Wang Families. Hehe, those twin archers from the Wei Family also perished in this ambush," Ye Jietie said, beaming with excitement.

"The Wei Family's Twin Stars?" Ye Ronghui asked with great surprise.

"Yes, Uncle, it is indeed those two." Grandfather Ye Tuantu handed a bow to Ye Ronghui and confirmed.

"Good! Since they made a name for themselves, they have caused no small amount of trouble." Ye Ronghui took the precious bow and laughed heartily.

The two Grade 4 archers of the Wei Family were twins. Since childhood, they had eaten and slept together, and were inseparable. They fought in coordination with extremely high synchronization. Even more amazingly, the Martial Dao Seeds they comprehended were both great bows.

After the two broke through to the Martial Ancestor realm, they called themselves the Twin Stars. Their two divine arm bows had committed countless massacres. While hunting a Loose Cultivator Martial Ancestor, they slipped up and let the opponent escape, thereby exposing their long-hidden identities.

Those two Genius Martial Masters of the Ye Family, who had broken through to Grade 4 Mental Energy, were assassinated while outside. The Elders of the Family judged from the traces of the fight at the scene that it was this pair of twins who had acted in the shadows.

The Heavenly Dao has its cycle of Reincarnation; today, we have finally avenged our Family's Prodigy.

"As for the other two Late Stage Martial Ancestor powerhouses, one of them should be the Wang Family's Wang Jingyu. The other one had extremely formidable strength, and none of us have seen him before, but we can be certain that he is from the Wei Family."

"As expected of a noble clan with a thousand-year Legacy, their foundation is truly profound. Late Stage Martial Ancestor powerhouses keep emerging one after another. How many is this now?"

After a Martial Artist breaks through to the Martial Ancestor realm, their cultivation improvement enters an extremely long buffer period. Even after polishing for decades, they might not necessarily break through a single star.

Especially breaking through to the Four-Star Martial Ancestor and Seven-Star Martial Sect levels; it is incomparably difficult. Some Martial Artists waste their entire lives remaining at the Early Stage Martial Ancestor level, unable to make any progress.

At this time, they have no choice but to rely on the assistance of Grade 4 Medicinal Pills to shorten the time for cultivation improvement, exchanging Spirit Stones for time.

However, Grade 4 Medicinal Pills are often hard to come by; it is difficult for forces without a powerhouse above the Martial King level to have a continuous supply.

The reason the Wei Family's Martial Ancestors can improve their cultivation so quickly is thanks to the Wei Family's Grade 4 Medium Grade Alchemist, who can provide a continuous supply of Grade 4 Medicinal Pills.

This has created a situation where the Wei Family has far more Middle and Late Stage Martial Ancestors than the Wang and Ye Families combined.

"After this great battle, I am afraid the secret of this Grade 4 Red Sand Crystal Rock vein cannot be kept," Ye Ronghui looked at the broken Formation and the ruins below, whispering softly.

"Jiesheng, Jietie, Xiaowu, you three stay here to guard the mine vein," Ye Ronghui instructed. "Jiesheng, keep this Formation Plate of the Universe Hunyuan Formation for now. I will send a message to Tuanhui and have him send Jiegua here to re-establish a Grade 4 Formation."

"Yes," the three of them bowed and saluted.

"Jiechuan, set sail, we are returning to Luomu Mountain," Ye Ronghui said.

"This... reporting to the Grand Elder, the core of the treasure ship was one-fifth destroyed during the battle just now. I am afraid it will not be able to fly for a short time," Ye Jiechuan said with a pained expression.

"How long will it take to repair the treasure ship?"

"Seven days."

"Hmm, then you stay here as well and speed up the repairs. Once the treasure ship is repaired, return to the Family," Ye Ronghui nodded. "Whatever resources you need, send a message directly to Tuanhui. You must ensure the treasure ship is repaired in seven days."

"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Ye Jiechuan said happily. As long as he could repair the treasure ship, he was willing to do anything.

"Hahaha, I had intended to catch a ride, but it seems I won't be able to now," Ye Ronghui chuckled. "Tuan Tu, let's go. We will fly back ourselves."

"Wait!" Ye Yisong's expression changed drastically at this moment, and he suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Ye Ronghui stopped his forward steps and turned back to look at Ye Yisong, puzzled.

"Eight Grade 4 Yao Beasts have suddenly appeared in the Weishui River."

The situation was urgent. Ye Yisong could not care about anything else and walked quickly to Ye Ronghui, revealing a shocking piece of news.

"Is this true?" Grandfather Ye Tuantu said, greatly alarmed. If eight Grade 4 Yao Beasts appeared in just one branch of the Weishui River, how many more Grade 4 Yao Beasts would appear across the entire Cangjiang Prefecture with so many branches?

Could the once-in-a-century Great Beast Tide have started early!

"Grandfather, back when Uncle Rongsong and I were at the Flower Snake's Immortal Cave, before we left after searching for treasures, I specifically left behind some Restrictions. I definitely couldn't have sensed it wrong," Ye Yisong explained quickly. "Not long after the Flower Snake died, its Immortal Cave was occupied by an octopus monster. Just now, five more Grade 4 Yao Beasts suddenly appeared inside its Immortal Cave."

"The Yao Beasts of the East Sea probably have some major movements recently."

"They aren't coming to avenge that Grade 5 Dragon, are they?"
