The Sacred Leaves Family's Wishes for Peace-Chapter 170 Jade Slip Map

"Big Sister Baili, what’s that in your hand?"

Under the night sky, celestial cranes glided gracefully toward the entrance of the Wanlong Mountain barrier.

On one of the cranes, Yun Yanshuang’s curious gaze was fixed on the jade slip in Baili Moxue’s hand.

"Shuang’er, don’t ask too many questions," Yun Yantian chided softly from beside her.

The jade slip must be one of Baili Moxue’s secrets. Since she hadn’t explained it, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to inquire further.

"Heehee! I understand, Brother Yantian," Yun Yanshuang said with a playful grin, sticking out her tongue. Her antics earned a helpless smile and a shake of the head from Yun Yantian.

"Who gave you permission to scold my little Shuang’er?"

Baili Moxue’s sharp gaze fell on Yun Yantian as she spoke, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"I... uh..."

Caught off guard, Yun Yantian stammered, unable to come up with a response. Embarrassed, he quickly closed his mouth, unwilling to upset his fiancée further.

"Heehee! Big Sister Baili is the best! Hmph! Brother Yantian is way too mean!"

With someone standing up for her, Yun Yanshuang grew bolder, affectionately linking arms with Baili Moxue.

"With me here, your Brother Yantian wouldn’t dare bully you," Baili Moxue said with a gentle smile.

"Weren’t you curious about the jade slip? I’ll tell you. It’s a map my father gave me," Baili Moxue explained.

"A map?"

Yun Yanshuang blinked in surprise, her curiosity growing. Even Yun Yantian, despite his earlier restraint, leaned in slightly to listen.

"Yes. According to my father, the map within this jade slip marks the location of a great cultivator’s inheritance.

This senior was a master of spear techniques and had comprehended Spear Intent, achieving an extraordinary level of cultivation," Baili Moxue explained seriously.

"Spear Intent? Big Sister Baili, is Spear Intent like Sword Intent?"

"Yes, it’s similar. Different cultivators follow different paths, practicing unique techniques and wielding various weapons.

But in essence, all paths lead to the same destination.

Sword cultivators comprehend Sword Intent to enhance their power and combat abilities.

Similarly, spear cultivators, blade cultivators, and others can also grasp their own forms of Intent to elevate their strength," Baili Moxue explained patiently while gently patting Yun Yanshuang’s head.

"I see now!"

"Big Sister Baili, are you a spear cultivator?"

"No, I practice sword techniques."

"Then wouldn’t the inheritance of that spear cultivator be useless to you?"

"It’s not for me; my father prepared it for your Brother Yantian," Baili Moxue said, her tone softening as she glanced at Yun Yantian.

"What?"

Yun Yantian was momentarily stunned.

"My father knows you practice spear techniques and thinks you have decent talent. So he’s granting you this opportunity as part of the dowry for marrying me into your Yun Clan."

Baili Moxue smiled faintly at her future husband.

"I... I don’t know if I can accept this..."

Yun Yantian scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his expression flustered.

"Can’t accept it? Fine, I’ll just throw it away," Baili Moxue teased, raising the jade slip as if to toss it.

Startled, Yun Yantian immediately grabbed her hand. "It’s a gift from your father. How could you throw it away so casually?"

"Have you held on long enough? Let go of my hand," Baili Moxue said coolly.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Yun Yantian recoiled as if shocked, quickly releasing her hand.

"Hmph. Wooden blockhead," Baili Moxue muttered with a smirk.

"Big Sister Baili, we only have three days in the mountain. Even with the map, wouldn’t it be difficult to locate that inheritance in such a short time?" Yun Yanshuang asked, her tone serious despite the playful atmosphere.

"Don’t worry. My father has already made arrangements," Baili Moxue reassured her.

"So that’s the real reason you’re coming with us, isn’t it, Big Sister Baili?"

"Shuang’er is so clever," Baili Moxue said warmly, tapping Yun Yanshuang’s nose affectionately.

"Back in the Wanlong Hall, there were too many eyes and ears. I couldn’t say much then. But now, as we approach the mountain, there’s no need to worry about outsiders overhearing."

The way Baili Moxue emphasized "outsiders" revealed her sense of belonging to the Yuncang Yun Clan.

In her heart, she had already accepted her role as the Yun Clan’s future daughter-in-law. She was determined to assist her father’s vision—supporting the Yun Clan’s rise and, through it, aiding her future husband in becoming a pillar of strength for her family.

Her father had endured too much over the years, carrying countless burdens with few confidants—her ancestor, Master Li Xianshi, and herself among the select few.

"Brother Yantian, Big Sister Baili and His Majesty are so good to you. You’d better treat her well, or I won’t let you off easily!" Yun Yanshuang teased with a playful laugh.

"Don’t call me that yet; I’m not officially married," Baili Moxue said, feigning sternness.

"Heehee! You’ll always be my sister-in-law in my heart!"

Laughing, Yun Yanshuang hugged Baili Moxue tightly, as if afraid she might fly away.

Seeing this, Baili Moxue couldn’t bring herself to scold her further and simply shook her head with a smile.

"The barrier entrance is just ahead."

The celestial cranes slowed their flight, descending gently onto one of Wanlong Mountain’s peaks.

At the peak, a regiment of a thousand Imperial Guard elites stood watch, accompanied by numerous court-hired cultivators.

Among them was Master Li Xian.

Three familiar faces were also present: Master Lu, Fairy Yu, and Master Tu—all of whom had once visited the Yun Clan’s market. It was thanks to their subtle endorsements that the Yun market had gained renown among scattered cultivators across Yue Country.

"Master Li," Yun Yantian greeted, approaching with his sister to pay respects. He also greeted Masters Lu, Yu, and Tu in turn.

"Consort Yun, you shouldn’t be bowing to the likes of us!" Master Li joked, quickly helping Yun Yantian to his feet.

"Master Li, you jest. To me, the four of you are elders deserving of the utmost respect. No matter my future status, I should always show deference to you," Yun Yantian replied earnestly.

"Hahaha! Hearing such words from you is enough to put this old man at ease."

"Be cautious once inside Wanlong Mountain."

"I’ll remember your advice," Yun Yantian said solemnly.

"Seventh Princess, shall we activate the array now?" Master Li asked after finishing his instructions to Yun Yantian and Yun Yanshuang. His gaze shifted to Baili Moxue.

"Yes, please trouble the four of you to do so," Baili Moxue replied with a smile.

"Very well. Seventh Princess, you and your companions may enter the teleportation array," Master Li said, gesturing toward the glowing formation.

The three stepped into the array in turn. Masters Li, Lu, Yu, and Tu took their positions at its cardinal points, their hands forming intricate seals as they channeled spiritual energy into the array.

The array lit up brilliantly, engulfing Yun Yantian, Yun Yanshuang, and Baili Moxue in radiant light. In a flash, their figures vanished from sight.

As the three were transported into Wanlong Mountain, the other clan scions were similarly guided into the teleportation arrays by the court’s cultivator guardians.

Inside Wanlong Mountain

A beam of light descended from the heavens.

As it dissipated, the figures of Yun Yantian, Yun Yanshuang, and Baili Moxue emerged.

Roar!

No sooner had they appeared than a thunderous beast’s roar echoed through the forest.

From the shadows, a massive Silver Moon Demon Wolf, the size of a small mountain, charged toward them at incredible speed, its maw gaping wide and reeking of blood.

Yun Yantian reacted instantly, summoning a black-gold short spear. Infusing it with spiritual energy, he thrust the spear forward with explosive force.

Boom!

The terrifying strike pierced the Silver Moon Demon Wolf’s skull, slaying the beast—equivalent to a sixth-level Embryo Breath cultivator—on the spot.

"Amazing, Brother Yantian! Let me process the corpse. I’ve heard these demon beasts are treasure troves!" Yun Yanshuang exclaimed, giving her brother a thumbs-up. She stepped forward eagerly, intent on salvaging the wolf’s remains.

"Shuang’er, leave it," Baili Moxue said, pulling her back.

"The wolf’s corpse will emit a strong scent of blood, attracting other lurking beasts and malevolent entities.

We should leave immediately and head toward the location marked on the jade slip’s map."

"Alright, I’ll listen to Big Sister Baili!" Yun Yanshuang reluctantly agreed, though she cast a wistful glance at the wolf’s massive body.

Without further hesitation, the three moved swiftly, following the jade slip’s directions toward the spear master’s inheritance.

Moments after their departure, an eerie wind swept through the forest.

From all directions, ominous black mist surged toward the wolf’s corpse, swirling around it like a sinister vortex.

The mountain-sized wolf’s body was quickly engulfed by the mist, and soon, chilling sounds of chewing and gnashing emanated from within.

What exactly was this black mist? Whatever it was, its presence was undeniably terrifying.
