Chapter 494 - 656 : next few days
Afterward, Moyue, the white tiger, the Profound Yin Blood Corpse, and the Ghost King launched the next round of attacks.
Wentian released the Hundred Herbs Needles for a sneak attack. The thirty-six Hundred Herbs Needles easily entered its body through the torn wounds.
Jianyi Mingshu released a small number of Iron-Devouring Flying Ants, which likewise drilled into the triangular giant python’s body and gnawed at its flesh.
The heart-piercing, bone-boring pain from the flesh, the pain in the sea of consciousness, the external attacks, and the formation’s cyan light suppression plunged the triangular giant python into deep despair.
Who the hell did I provoke?!
In only half an incense stick’s time,
Its enormous body collapsed to the ground, no longer carrying the slightest trace of life.
Jianyi Chonghui recalled the Ghost King. Jianyi Mingyuan put away the Profound Yin Blood Corpse.
Wentian and the others approached, then began taking its inner core, essence soul, essence blood, scales, venom fang stones, and materials for refining magic treasures. Its flesh was also a great supplement for the demonic beasts raised by the Jianyi family.
However, it needed to be processed. Its flesh contained deadly poison, and second-rank demonic beasts probably could not easily endure and refine it.
Then everyone went to the triangular giant python’s nest and dug three chi into the ground.
"Let us go. Return to Dongxi."
After everything was done, Wentian waved his hand.
After returning to Dongxi, Jianyi Chonghui and Jianyi Mingyuan each went to handle their own affairs.
Wentian adjusted his state for two or three hours, then began refining pills.
They were respectively lightning-element second-rank peak Demonic Spirit Pills, fire-element second-rank peak Demonic Spirit Pills, and third-rank fire-element Demonic Spirit Pills.
The first two would help Jianyi Ying rapidly reach the peak of second rank, while the latter would help him break through to the third rank.
The surplus would be kept in the clan.
"Mingshu, I will hand these Demonic Spirit Pills to you. Once Jianyi Ying reaches the peak of second rank, have Jianyi Bai take him to the core of Myriad Snake Valley’s fire-element spiritual vein to enter seclusion until he breaks through."
"Yes, Father. Daughter understands."
A short while later, Wentian saw Jianyi Mingshu standing still and asked in confusion, "What is it? Is something the matter?"
"Father, are you going to leave?"
With all the major movements recently, even if Jianyi Mingshu were more slow-witted, she knew.
Wentian smiled and stroked her head. "My Jianyi family must eventually go to the Tiannan Domain to develop. Father is only going ahead to fight the advance battle.
"Once things are stable and we pass through this great calamity, I will have all of you go there."
"Then can Daughter follow you this time?" Jianyi Mingshu looked at Wentian with burning eyes.
"You are the overall person in charge of the family’s spirit beast raising. Now, spirit beasts are one of the most important parts of my Jianyi family’s plan. If you are not here, others cannot suppress them.
"Could you bear to see them point weapons at my Jianyi family’s disciples one day?"
Jianyi Mingshu lowered her head. A short while later, she forced a smile and said, "Daughter understands. Father, when you reach the outside, you must pay attention to your own safety.
"Xueji will guard the Jianyi family well here and wait for Father to return."
"Father will." Wentian raised his hand and scratched her delicate nose, just like when she was little. Jokingly, he said, "Your father is the most afraid of death."
After Jianyi Mingshu left,
In the cold pond, Moyue poked his head out and looked at Wentian. "Which people do you plan to bring away?"
"Mingxian, Deling, Deyue, and Ye Fan."
"Mingxian and Deling are normal. After all, one is a formation grandmaster and the other an Artifact Dao grandmaster. Ye Fan, that little brat, has Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, so developing outside is indeed better. But Deyue?
"That little girl does not have much presence in the Jianyi family. She is pure-hearted and desireless, single-mindedly devoted to cultivation. You are actually bringing her this time?"
"I have my own plans."
Moyue curled his lips. "If you do not want to say, then do not say. I am too lazy to ask!"
After saying this, he sank into the cold pond.
Several days later,
Wentian called Jianyi Mingwei over.
"Mingwei, once Ye Fan breaks through to Foundation Establishment, I plan to take Mingxian, Deling, Deyue, and Ye Fan away."
Jianyi Mingwei sighed slightly. He had long since known in his heart that there would be no place for him, but hearing it with his own ears now inevitably made his heart sink.
"The second-rank formation flags of various grades that Mingxian left in the clan are enough for the clan to use. The same is true for top-grade magic artifacts. He and Deling will not have much effect staying here.
"Going outside will allow them to find stronger inheritances and improve themselves. This is also for the future Jianyi family."
"This child understands. This child will guard the Jianyi family well in Father’s place and protect the clansmen," Jianyi Mingwei said seriously.
"You have never disappointed me." Wentian smiled slightly. "I called you here today to have you serve as the leader of the Dao Protectors.
"Protect potential clansmen in the clan. When the family has difficult disagreements, either correct chaos and restore order, or preserve the clan’s flame.
"These things may never happen, but Father is doing this only to prepare for future danger.
"You may choose family disciples yourself, even those with other surnames. They must all be absolutely loyal to my Jianyi family and, at critical moments, even be able to sacrifice themselves for the family.
"The identities of those who join the Dao Protectors must all remain secret. Even the Family Head and Great Elder cannot know. Only you alone may know."
"Yes, Father."
Over the next few days,
Wentian successively called Jianyi Mingxuan, Jianyi Mingyuan, Jianyi Mingqing, and the others to speak with them and give instructions.
Jianyi great residence.
Wentian also told Bai Jing about this matter.
