"Qiu Qianhai?"

The Blood Lady instinctively recalled the true forms of those Nascent Soul monsters from Shang Dong, and none of them had the surname Qiu, so it was unlikely to be their offspring.

Moreover, they were not as young and beautiful as she was; they were quite old, and even if they wanted to have children, they probably couldn't.

"Yes."

Jiang Hong nodded vigorously.

"Just give any random name, it's most likely a fake. Among the six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong, which one's techniques is he using?"

The Blood Lady continued to inquire.

"This..."

"Hmm?"

The Blood Lady saw Jiang Hong hesitating and couldn't help frowning, "Don't tell me you can't even see this?"

Seeing that the Blood Lady was about to revert to her previous demeanor, Jiang Hong quickly spoke:

"I can see it, he... he's a Demon Cultivator."

"What?!"

The Blood Lady, who was still holding Jiang Hong, stood up abruptly, causing Jiang Hong to once again fall heavily to the ground.

"A Demon Cultivator? Where would Shang Dong get a Demon Dao Nascent Soul? It's impossible it came from us in Shangxi, right? If it really came from us, who would dare to attack you?"

The Blood Lady glanced suspiciously at Jiang Hong on the ground.

Jiang Hong quickly propped himself up with both hands, leaned against the stone wall behind him, and began counting on his fingers.

"First, he has a Thousand Souls Banner. You know how sinister that thing is, mother. Not to mention the Demon Cultivators of Shang Dong, even many Demon Cultivators in Shangxi can't refine it."

"Maybe he killed another Demon Cultivator and stole it."

Jiang Hong revealed another finger, saying, "Second, he also has an ominous array flag, and the array he sets up is a Demon Dao array."

Hearing this, the Blood Lady fell silent.

A Thousand Souls Banner could be stolen, but being able to set up a Demon Dao array… must mean he's a Demon Cultivator. Without a foundation in Demon Dao, how could he set up such an array?

"Third, he's very insidious, constantly ambushing and attacking, mostly using Spiritual Artifacts like Flying Swords and Silver Needles. He never fights openly. If I hadn't forced him to use one of his Talisman Treasures, I wouldn't have seen other methods. Such a sneaky person cannot be a Righteous Cultivator."

"Mother, you know best, those Righteous Cultivators pride themselves on being upright, especially when dealing with us, they despise sneaky attacks the most."

"Fourth, he also uses Corpse Puppets, and they're Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Corpse Puppets. The Corpse Puppet, in life… was also a Demon Cultivator."

Jiang Hong blurted all this out in one breath.

The Blood Lady could almost determine that the Qiu Qianhai Jiang Hong spoke of was a Demon Cultivator, halfway through.

If he was really a Righteous Cultivator from the six Immortal Sects… having one or two Demon Dao methods would be fine, but having all Demon Dao methods is impossible.

Especially with Corpse Puppets and Demon Dao arrays.

If that's the case, those Nascent Soul monsters from the six Immortal Sects wouldn't tolerate him either.

The Demon Dao of Shangxi… impossible.

No one would dare touch Jiang Hong, if there were, even without her intervention, his useless father would have dealt with it.

But from Shang Dong… it's unheard of for them to have a Demon Dao Nascent Soul.

Jiang Hong noticed what his mother was pondering and quietly voiced his speculation:

"Mom, isn't it said that the Immortal Destruction Conference has people from Jiyuan Continent coming to help? Could it be someone from there?"

"Impossible."

The Blood Lady definitively stated.

"Even if they wanted to come, it's not that easy. At the very least, it would take a Nascent Soul to pave the way. Without a Nascent Soul leading, how could Foundation Establishment Cultivators come over?"

"And this matter is top secret. If you dare reveal it, you'll never see the outside world this lifetime!"

Jiang Hong quickly bowed his head, responding, "I know the gravity of this matter, and I've never mentioned it to outsiders."

"Hmm."

The Blood Lady nodded slightly, but at this moment, a figure flashed in her mind, and she remembered someone, "Could it be... him?!"

"Could that old monster have emerged from the seabed?"

The Blood Lady recalled the person and felt a moment of fear.

"Mom, who are you talking about?"

Jiang Hong got closer and asked.

"Why are you worried about that? What other techniques does Qiu Qianhai have? Quickly answer." The Blood Lady's tone grew more urgent.

Jiang Hong didn't dare delay, and while recalling, he said, "He's skilled with Flying Swords and even has a Frost Serpent as a Spirit Pet, with many Spiritual Artifacts on him..."

"Frost Serpent?"

Before Jiang Hong could finish, the Blood Lady had already interrupted.

"Yes, wh-what's wrong?"

"You should recover here. Before I return, you're not to leave this valley. I'll go have a talk with your useless father."

The Blood Lady's voice lingered, but she was no longer there.

As she left, originally looking like a well-behaved child, Jiang Hong's expression gradually turned grim. He touched his burning face.

Then, he took out a jade mirror from his Storage Bag and examined himself carefully, a distinct handprint was prominently raised.

His expression grew increasingly unpleasant, and his left hand clenched tightly into a fist before opening and clenching again.

It was unclear what exactly he was contemplating.

...

"Magical Treasure - Tian Luo Net!"

When Ji Yuan took out this Magical Treasure from his Storage Bag, his mind was already completely captivated by the treasure in his hand.

After all, strictly speaking, this was the first Magical Treasure he had obtained.

Like the Talisman Treasures he had acquired earlier, they only possessed a fraction of a Magical Treasure's power, yet their power was already formidable. So now that he had a real Magical Treasure in hand?

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment and first activated the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier array of the Cave Mansion, then infused it with Spiritual Qi to see if he could activate the Tian Luo Net.
