Ye Fan had no intention of lingering and prepared to leave.
But before he left, Ye Jinqiu presented him with a storage ring.
Inside the storage ring, Ye Fan saw that there were numerous resources.
Among them, there were quite a few Artifact Refining materials of Taoist Ranking.
These materials, which are highly prized among the Human clan due to the witch tribe’s mediocre Alchemy and Artifact Refining skills, were not given much attention within the witch tribe.
Considering the status of Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing, obtaining some resources was quite easy.
So during this trip to Chang Ming Region, Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing brought these materials to Ye Fan.
The materials in the storage ring were enough to refine more than a dozen lower Taoist artifacts and several dozen top-tier Immortal Artifacts.
“Dad, I want a Wolf Fang Club.” Ye Jinqiu was the first to make her demand.
She was particularly fond of the Wolf Fang Club.
Ye Fan nodded. After going back this time, he could finally upgrade the magical weapons of the Ye family cultivators.
Despite Ye Fan’s improved Artifact Refining level, he couldn’t do much without the materials.
At the same time, Ye Fan noticed a business opportunity.
If it were possible, initiating cross-realm trade with the witch tribe seemed like a pretty good choice.
The cultivation resources in the witch tribe world were generally scarcer than in the human clan’s world.
This shortage of resources was one reason for the witch tribe invasion.
While others didn’t have the means, once Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing held high positions, the Ye family had a good chance of succeeding in this business.
If the resources of the witch tribe should become abundant, the wars might cease to exist as well; this could be seen as a good thing.
When they arrived home, Ye Fan immediately started refining Taoist artifacts.
A cultivator at the Golden Immortal Realm should at the very least, have in possession, a Taoist artifact.
As for cultivators in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they can “barely scrape by” using high-quality Immortal Artifacts temporarily.
The Ye family now had over a hundred cultivators at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so satisfying everyone wasn’t an easy task.
East State and Nan Zhou were still peaceful, but life in the other three provinces of the Lower Five States was not so pleasant.
Inside the Earth Witch Sect, a conspiracy targeting Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing was being brewing.
“You two are leaving this time to seize the power of Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing first.”
“Without their power, two mere Golden Immortals can be easily dealt with.”
“We’ll send two Witch Sovereigns at that time to accompany you, remember, you must not let it be known that we are behind this.”
The witch children of the Earth Witch Sect and Human Witch Sect, charged with taking over Ye Jinqiu’s power, were immediately delighted.
Although they were also at the Golden Immortal Realm, they hadn’t gained much in the wars among the Upper Five Realms.
However, in the Lower Five Realms, a golden immortal could determine the direction of a war.
Although the resources of the Lower Five States were not as abundant as the Upper Five Realms, they make up five of the Ten Provinces of the Chang Ming Region and were quite enough for these two.
Eliminating Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing was also what they eagerly awaited.
Without the pressure from these two divine children, they would become the greatest talents in the Sky Witch World.
They knew they had no chance to surpass Ye Jinqiu and her husband through their own efforts, so they needed the power of the Sect.
Within the Divine Witch Sect, Wu Chang was naturally aware of the plot by the two sects to strip Ye Jinqiu of his power.
But Wu Chang did not oppose it, and it wasn’t his place to oppose it.
Ye Jinqiu, being in that position for so long, he must have garnered a lot of benefits.
The benefits cannot be chained by one person; at times they need to be shared with others.
That was also the reason why Wu Chang agreed with the opinions of the other two sects.
In Central Province, the base camp of the Lower Five States of the Witch tribe, Witch Children Witch Yang and Wu Tian were already there.
“Ye Jinqiu, you should have received the notice by now. Hand over the power of the army.” Wu Tian greedily looked at Ye Jinqiu and spoke.
Ye Jinqiu clenched her fists. She desperately wanted to smash Wu Tian’s lecherous face with one punch, but Ye Qing restrained her in the end.
“Of course, we have received the message, and we can give you the power. But, be careful; some things might be too much for you to swallow.”
Ye Qing wore a smile on his face.
Originally, Ye Qing was worrying about how to stage a play to slowly lose a large amount of territory to the Dayu Empire.
But now, two fools had unexpectedly come to take over.
Not only was Ye Qing not upset, but he was also quite happy.
Of course, he couldn’t let his joy show. Otherwise, their identities might be questioned.
“Hmph, if you guys can conquer three states, why can’t we conquer the other two?” declared Witch Yang disdainfully.
Although their bloodlines were inferior to that of Ye Jinqiu and Ye Qing, the two witch children never admitted that they were weaker than the couple.
“In that case, we won’t disturb you any longer.”
With that said, Ye Qing was about to leave with Ye Jinqiu.
But at this moment, Wu Tian suddenly stood up and blocked their path.
“You can leave if you want, but the resources you gathered during this period, hand them over.”
Witch Yang also stood up, preventing the couple from leaving, as he unleashed his Golden Witch Realm aura.
The implication was clear. Witch Yang and Wu Tian would not let the couple leave without them handing over the resources.
This action surprised even the two Protectors who’d been brought by Wu Tian and Witch Yang.
Their duty was to ensure the future resources, not those they’d collected in the past. Did the witch children not understand this?
There was no way the children chosen to be witches would be stupid.
Since they understood, it was clear that the two witch children were intentionally making things difficult for Ye Qing.
The two Witch Sovereigns had no intention of stopping them. If Ye Qing and Ye Jinqiu truly lost, it would only be seen as child’s play. As long as the adults didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t lead to big trouble.
At this moment, Ye Jinqiu, who had been holding back her words all this while, couldn’t help but speak up.
It’s always been her, Ye Jinqiu, bullying others. Today, she was being bullied in return. How dare they!
The next moment, Ye Jinqiu raised her high-grade Immortal Artifact, the Wolf Fang Club, and struck directly at Wu Tian.
A smirk appeared on Wu Tian’s face, “It’s good if you strike. I was afraid that you wouldn’t strike.”
If she struck, they had no reason to be merciful!
Bang!
Wu Tian’s body flew out instantly.
He completely forgot his prepared lines. The only thought that filled his mind was, “How is Ye Jinqiu’s strength so great?”
He invoked all his power, yet he wasn’t able to block one strike from Ye Jinqiu.
He not only was knocked away but also suffered severe internal injuries.
If it wasn’t for their strong witch bodies, he might have been killed by that strike.
Witch Yang was startled, then he ferociously jumped up to recover the situation for Wu Tian.
“Be careful!”
Before Wu Tian could let out a warning, Witch Yang was also swept away by Ye Jinqiu and ended up in the same condition as Wu Tian.
However, Ye Jinqiu had no intention of letting it go at that. Come on, fight!
Although all of them were at the Golden Immortal Realm, Ye Jinqiu managed to take on two witch children alone without any pressure at all.
