On the crimson mountain road, the flames still spread.

Crackling noises burst out from time to time.

The rising firelight illuminated the faces of several people, revealing different expressions.

Kong Guangyun seemed more at ease, even strolling leisurely towards the cave, each step adding more pressure.

In Ye Xingliu's eyes, there was a hint of anger, but he was still in control.

This was outright robbery, two thousand Spirit Stones were not even half the value of this cub.

As for the so-called discovery, it's absurd; Spirit Beast resources naturally belong to whoever slays them, and the Tier Three Golden Rhinoceros might not even be the parents of this Golden Rhinoceros.

Moreover, after so much time, how could one tell?

"Kong Daoist, how about my Ye Family share some Spirit Stones," Ye Xingliu tentatively suggested.

This cub was of great significance to the Ye Family, potentially adding an extremely powerful Body Cultivator.

And although the Ye Family is under the Taiyi Sect, it is not a vassal of the Kong Family.

So they proposed that the Ye Family provide Spirit Stones.

Obviously, Ye Xingliu wanted to endure, after all, it was the Kong Family, and he had already seen the Purple Mansion cultivator appear in the distance.

This time, the Kong Family came with three Purple Mansion cultivators and a Golden Core.

Both in open strength and hidden power, they were greatly inferior.

Moreover, everyone knew that the four great Golden Core clans of the Taiyi Sect had intricate relations with the sect.

...

Ye Jingcheng hesitated too, given the current situation, enduring was naturally better, even if they were justified.

After all, the Kong Family was now a Golden Core Clan, while the Ye Family was merely a Purple Mansion Clan, even without considering the Golden Core True Masters, their open strength was already a notch lower.

Even the Xu Family alone could contend with the Ye Family.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng was stunned, then his eyes cleared again.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Kong Guangyun, so fearless and blatant, must have a backing...

After pondering this, Ye Jingcheng simply entered the cave, first collecting the adult Golden Rhinoceros's corpse, then grabbing the Golden Rhinoceros cub inside the cave and placing it into the Spirit Beast Bag.

The current Golden Rhinoceros was too small, though spiritual, it was completely incapable of resisting Ye Jingcheng.

This scene of collecting the Spirit Beast instantly made Kong Guangyun's face turn sullen.

"How bold, stealing my Golden Rhinoceros cub!" Kong Guangyun's voice was very loud, seemingly using a Secret Technique, and after speaking, he charged at Ye Xingliu, intending to grab.

Ye Xingliu naturally would not let himself be captured, instinctively swinging his sword.

The Magic Sword's Sword Light was extremely sharp, carrying a chilling Spiritual Energy, and instantly slashed towards Kong Guangyun.

Even more strangely, Kong Guangyun didn't dodge, actually using his shoulder to take the hit.

With a sound of "puff," a large portion of Kong Guangyun's shoulder was drenched in blood.

At this moment, two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Kong Family, along with Ye Haicheng and others, arrived.

However, the Kong Family had two Purple Mansion cultivators, and behind them was a Golden Core True Master.

"Ye Xingliu, what do you mean? This was a joint demon-slaying; do you think my Kong Family is without people?" A wide-faced cultivator in a blue robe landed and reprimanded sternly.

His eyes were terrifying, glaring at Ye Xingliu.

"I hope Uncle Nine will uphold justice for me," Kong Guangyun quickly complained to the Purple Mansion of the Kong Family.

This so-called Uncle Nine was named Kong Chenmu, the ninth in the "Chen" generation of the Kong Family, Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, renowned throughout the Yan Kingdom.

As soon as these words fell, the Spiritual Might instantly aimed at Ye Xingliu, but was dispelled by Ye Haicheng in a moment.

"Kong Daoist, to act against juniors without distinguishing right from wrong is inappropriate!" Ye Haicheng's voice was also extremely steady.

The tension in the air shifted quickly from Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion, and if Kong Guxiang arrived, it could escalate further.

"Ye Daoist, do you intend to support the wicked?" Kong Chenmu's eyes turned to Ye Haicheng.

"If Kong Daoist insists on bullying my Ye Family, we can only try Magical Combat here!" Ye Haicheng did not explain further; anyone with eyes could see what was happening.

But the Kong Family doing so at this moment indicated confidence, and confidence built upon permission from the Taiyi Sect, what else could it be?

After all, to reach the status of a Golden Core Clan, how could they act impulsively like Purple Mansion or Foundation Establishment, damaging their image in the sect?

As Ye Haicheng released his Spiritual Light, Kong Chenmu and the Early Stage Purple Mansion of the Kong Family, Kong Chenyun, also unleashed their Purple Mansion aura.

The situation was poised for a fierce battle over the slightest disagreement.

As time went on, more and more cultivators gathered in the air, and at this moment, Xu Chunlin, the Xu Family's Purple Mansion, also arrived.

Xu Wenchang immediately landed behind Xu Chunlin.

"Boom!" Ye Haicheng was the first to make a move, wielding two Golden Hammers, his robe billowing.

His speed was astonishingly fast.

However, his descending hammer struck the golden tower top of Kong Chenmu, only emitting brilliant golden starlight before losing strength.

At the same time, Kong Chenmu and Kong Chenyun each summoned a Magical Artifact.

The former wielded a Spirit-Binding Whip, the latter the Golden Scissors Double Swords.

One for unparalleled entrapment, the other for a terrifying cutting force.

Even though Ye Haicheng was a Body Cultivator, he instantly found himself at a disadvantage.

The Spirit-Binding Whip restricted his position, and the Golden Scissors Double Swords separated could sever Sword Aura, combined, their cutting force seemed ready to cut off the handles of the hammers.

After all, Ye Haicheng was only at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, quickly finding himself in a dire situation.

Even appearing somewhat dangerous.

At this moment, the distant figure of Kong Guxiang appeared.

This scene left the Ye Family members stunned, with some even glancing at Ye Jingcheng.

In their minds, yielding the treasure might have resolved the situation better.

They didn't understand why Ye Jingcheng, usually meticulous and cautious, was provoking so boldly today.

Boom!

Kong Guxiang's aura pressed down.

Ye Haicheng was directly forced underground; the gap between Purple Mansion and Golden Core was simply too vast.

Kong Chenmu and Kong Chenyun showed no intention of stopping, about to strike Ye Haicheng.

"Stop!" At this moment, Tianzhen Ascendant and Master Xuan Dao appeared together.

Upon hearing this, the two Purple Mansion cultivators of the Kong Family, unwilling though they were, ceased their actions.

"Do you not know that today involves important matters of the Taiyi Sect?"

"Do you disregard the rules of our sect?"

Master Xuan Dao's eyes were full of rage.

The other Ye Family members instantly rejoiced, including Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, at this moment, there was also a hint of cold laughter in his heart.

The timing of their arrival was too perfect.

If without orders, even Ye Jingcheng wouldn't believe it himself; it appeared they were forcing the Ye Family to utilize their true strength.

After all, if Ye Haicheng died, it certainly couldn't be concealed.

"Master, the Kong Family intends to forcibly seize my junior's Golden Rhinoceros cub!" Ye Haicheng spoke, blood still in his mouth, appearing quite tragic at this moment.

In truth, if Master Xuan Dao hadn't intervened, he might have fallen on the spot.

Kong Guxiang's strike was definitely not restrained.

"Brother Xuan Dao, Kong's great-grandson was slashed by the Ye Family, my junior could not bear it!"

"Regardless of the reason, the sect's authority cannot be insulted, you both must participate in the front line of demon-slaying this time and receive the Taiyi Punishment once!" Master Xuan Dao spoke, thus putting an end to the matter.

"Also, the entrance to the Secret Realm at the front has been cleared, all families and factions prepare in advance!"
