"Not good! It's a Foundation Establishment Great Demon!"

"Damn it, the Zhao family gave us the wrong information!"

"Run quickly!"

The Evil-faced Old Monster looked at the menacing Profound Water Crocodile, knowing that even if three more of himself came, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps in this demon beast's teeth.

Without another word, he immediately used the fastest escape technique to flee.

But they had just flown halfway when they fearfully discovered.

The direction they were fleeing to also had a Foundation Establishment Great Demon enveloped in silver light, flapping its silver wings and quietly watching them.

The Evil-faced Old Monster's heart immediately sank.

"It's over, two Foundation Establishment Great Demons..."

"We're doomed here."

"Let's split up! Whoever can escape, should."

With a ruthless gleam in his gaze, he gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision.

Just then.

A faint voice suddenly emerged from not far away.

"Where are you running to?"

In the gaze of the Evil-faced Old Monster, the figure of a young cultivator appeared, also with early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. Together with the two demon beasts, he formed a triangular encirclement, leaving them no chance to retreat.

They could easily guess that the person in front of them must be the Wangyue Island Master, with the two Foundation Establishment Great Demons as his spirit beasts.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be cooperating so seamlessly.

"Heh heh!"

"This old man was just passing by."

"Didn't mean to disturb the fellow Daoist, I sincerely apologize for any offense." The Evil-faced Old Monster said with a forced smile.

"..."

Qin Ming calmly replied, "Just passing by... yet you plan to wipe out everyone on my Spirit Island?"

"That seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"

"I suggest you leave your life here nicely! My two spirit beasts just haven't had their meal yet."

Upon hearing this, the Evil-faced Old Monster realized that the previous conversation was probably overheard by the other party.

Seeing the situation exposed, knowing there was no room for maneuver, his face turned vicious. He immediately took out a spiritual artifact and charged towards Qin Ming's direction!

Always pick the soft target.

With a "swoosh" sound.

The Evil-faced Old Monster suddenly found his vision blurred.

A streak of silver light appeared abruptly in front of him, and he never saw how this Silver-winged Flying Insect Demon Beast, from the other direction, arrived with such a bizarre speed in front of him.

Just then.

The Silver-winged Frost Bee launched an attack, shooting an undetectable Soul-annihilating Void Poison Sting from its tail towards their direction.

The Evil-faced Old Monster immediately felt his hairs stand on end, as if a silent and unseen attack brushed past him.

Even when he tried to extend his divine thought, he couldn't capture its trajectory.

"Ah!"

As the Evil-faced Old Monster was warily on guard, he saw his early-stage Foundation Establishment companion beside him let out a miserable scream, falling out of mid-air dead silent.

The tribulation cultivators present were scared out of their wits.

What kind of terrifying attack is this?

With just one strike, it could make an illustrious Foundation Establishment cultivator fall on the spot!

Frightened and bewildered, the Evil-faced Old Monster and others were about to make a desperate breakout when.

Boom!

Crack! Crack!

The Profound Water Crocodile Foundation Establishment Great Demon opened its bloody maw and unleashed a burst of purple thunder, sweeping towards them.

The arcs of electricity sparkled, and the lethal innate divine technique capable of withstanding thunder tribulation approached in an instant.

The Evil-faced Old Monster's pupils shrunk, his face filled with despair. In his panic, he deployed every defensive spiritual artifact he could summon.

The next moment.

Purple thunder instantly engulfed the crowd.

All their methods were as flimsy as paper in the face of the Profound Water Crocodile's thunder divine technique.

Their bodies, charred and crisp, fell from the sky onto the lake surface.

If Qin Ming hadn't ordered the Profound Water Crocodile not to use its full strength, those people would have been turned to ash under the thunder technique's assault.

With quick reflexes, Qin Ming tossed out Black Spirit Seeds, casting the Thorn Technique on the corpses of the tribulation cultivators.

Soon.

He obtained dozens of Blood Pearls, including two from early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Longevity Vine now had more fertilizer.

Qin Ming collected all their storage pouches.

Subsequently, the notorious Evil-faced Old Monster group terrorizing the Spirit Nest Islands cultivation realm all became snacks for the Profound Water Crocodile.

Two days later.

An earth-shattering rumor spread in the Spirit Nest Islands' tribulation cultivator circle that the Evil-faced Old Monster group, having ambushed Wangyue Island, perished without a trace!

Since then, no one dared to eye Wangyue Island again.

Qin Ming returned to his cave mansion.

Constantly pondering over the words of these tribulation cultivators, where they mentioned someone with the surname "Zhao."

It seemed likely that they were associated with the Zhao family.

There must have been Zhao family cultivators secretly passing information to them.

In that case, the incidents where two islands were massacred were likely orchestrated by the Zhao family, using the tribulation cultivators.

A cold glint appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.

"Daring to disturb my farming, you really have a death wish!"

This matter was but a small ripple.

Afterwards.

Qin Ming resumed meditating in seclusion.

His mana cultivation progressed rapidly with the spirit body enhancement, and the assistance of Spirit Nesting Rice and pills, speeding up his mana's condensation.

As for the Body Refining Technique "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture," he continued to practice it intensively.

According to this cultivation technique, after completing the first transformation of True Gang Transformation, he needs to accumulate and refine the blood energy of True Gang again to meet the requirements for refining a second high-tier demon beast essence blood.

At which point, breaking through to the second transformation of True Gang will grant him true gang transformation power with two forms, doubling his strength.

Qin Ming was eager for this, but the situation outside was unstable, and high-tier demon beast essence blood was not easy to find.

More than a month passed by.

Wangyue Island.

An unexpected guest arrived, none other than the eldest son of the Zhao family—Zhao Wuji.

With two attendants in tow, he appeared travel-worn and hurried.

Zhao Wuji was by no means weak. To avoid exposing his two Tier Two spirit pets, Qin Ming stored the Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost Bee in the Spirit Beast Bag.

"I wonder what business brings Fellow Daoist Zhao here?" Ever since Qin Ming learned of the Zhao family's collusion with tribulation cultivators, engaging in despicable acts, he exercised utmost caution.

Moreover, it was likely the Zhao family who leaked to the Evil-faced Old Monster's group that Wangyue Island only had Qin Ming, a Foundation Establishment.

Qin Ming thus kept a mental note against the Zhao family.

They probably didn't realize Qin Ming's two spirit beasts had become Tier Two Great Demons.

Zhao Wuji composed himself, managing a smile as he said, "The reason I hurried here is to invite Fellow Daoist Qin to join our Zhao family's alliance."

"If Fellow Daoist Qin agrees."

"Our Zhao family can offer you a rewarding position as an elder-level ally."

"And with time, we could even arrange for you to obtain Core Formation spiritual objects."

Qin Ming initially intended to dismiss his words, but upon hearing the four words 'Core Formation spiritual object,' he was involuntarily surprised!

He quickly calmed down, reasoning that such an extremely rare item would never be left unused by the Zhao family, so how could an outsider like him acquire it?

It didn't make sense at all.

Zhao Wuji seemed to read Qin Ming's thoughts and explained, "Beneath our Zhao family's Tier Three Spirit Vein lies a Yang Crystal Ore Vein, containing a Profound Yin Earth Fiend Cave that produces a few drops of Profound Yin Earth Fiend Spirit Liquid every century."

"This item, when used during Core Formation, can increase the formation success rate by ten percent, and it's available to cultivators at the elder level and above."

"As long as the contribution points are sufficient, you can exchange it for this Core Formation spiritual object."

"Given Fellow Daoist Qin's spirit plant expertise and alchemy proficiency, I'm confident that you'll quickly earn this item."

Zhao Wuji spoke earnestly, persuasively trying to convince Qin Ming.
