Qin Ming stared at the departing figure, unable to calm his heart for a long time.

"It's actually Mo Lingwei."

"Didn't she choose to ally with the Zhao Family to gather materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"How could she manage to mix into Qianye Spirit Island under such strict control by the Nie Family?"

"Could it be... remnants of the Zhao Family also..."

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Qin Ming's back!

If this is indeed the case, it indicates that the remnants of the Zhao Family are planning something big against Qianye Spirit Island.

And it's a long-in-the-making grand plan.

Not even considering the numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the Nie Family's Fake Pill, it's clear how severe the situation is.

"This place is too dangerous, I should inform Aunt Long and get out of here quickly." Qin Ming was decisive, and without further ado, he fled immediately.

Soon after, Qin Ming quickly sent a Communication Talisman to Aunt Long: "Fellow Daoist Long, I've received news that Qianye Spirit Island might be undergoing a major upheaval. Staying here is extremely dangerous; we must leave immediately."

"I won't return to the other courtyard, and will advance first. You should quickly evacuate with your subordinates."

...

Within the other courtyard at the Valley Mirror Snow Pavilion headquarters.

Aunt Long was in a good mood today, chatting with several high-ranking members in a private room.

Suddenly.

The Communication Talisman on her body signaled a message, and upon checking, she discovered it was from Fellow Daoist Qin.

After reading the content, her expression changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly from her chair.

Then she raised her hand and deployed a Soundproof Restriction, enveloping the entire room.

"This is bad!"

"The situation has changed; we must leave Qianye Spirit Island immediately!"

Seeing Shopkeeper Long look so flustered, the other high-ranking members were taken by surprise. Guardian Li Mu furrowed his brow and asked, "What's happened?"

Aunt Long handed the Communication Talisman to them.

Li Mu took the talisman and checked it with Divine Thought, immediately shocked as well.

"Since the message is from Fellow Daoist Qin, it's highly likely to be true."

"We should avoid drawing too much attention, let's evacuate to the port under the guise of moving goods."

"Bring along everything we can, forget about what can't be brought, quickly notify the subordinates."

Inside the room, the Mirror Snow Pavilion members quickly finalized their plan and prepared to secretly withdraw from Qianye Spirit Island.

...

On the other side.

Mo Lingwei, her face disguised, showed a complex expression as she reached an underground location in Qianye Spirit Island.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Is everything outside arranged?"

In the darkness, a hoarse voice sounded. As Mo Lingwei approached, a familiar face emerged.

The person was Zhao Wuji, the eldest son of the Zhao Family, but his once steady and competent demeanor had vanished, replaced by a sinister aura and a twisted face with half of it destroyed.

"Everything is arranged," Mo Lingwei replied expressionlessly.

"Hey! It's best not to play any tricks. From the moment you came to me, we're in this together."

"Your Mo Family is entirely under my control, so if you're cunning before me, you know the consequences." Zhao Wuji warned wickedly.

Mo Lingwei's face turned pale, she clenched her fists without saying much.

"Wait here, the show is about to start."

Finished talking, Zhao Wuji turned and walked deeper into the cave corridor.

Not long after.

He followed the corridor and reached the underground.

Bone-chilling cold wafted from the cave below, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura.

Even Zhao Wuji swallowed nervously before continuing downward.

A wide underground cavern appeared before him.

The rocky walls were engraved with numerous complex Array rune restrictions, with about a dozen arm-thick black chains stretching into the darkness.

On the ground below, a gaunt white-haired elder sat cross-legged, his Qi Blood depleted, his aura extremely unstable, as if he could pass away at any time.

Zhao Wuji walked over respectfully to the elder and said, "Reporting to Ancestor, everything is completed."

"Hmm, then let's begin," said the ancient elder.

Zhao Wuji hesitated and asked, "Ancestor, are you really going to do this?"

"Hehe! I've lived my life boldly to reach my current age with a Fake Pill, it's fate."

"Yet... since the Zhao Family no longer exists, why should the Cultivation Realm of the Spirit Nest Group continue?" Zhao Wuyang replied gloomily.

"Hehe! Even Thunder Origin Sect and Spirit Feather Sect could not have imagined."

"That Qianye Spirit Island, every century, could produce a drop of 'Profound Yin Earth Fiend Spirit Liquid'."

"It's because, on an even deeper level, a Tier Three Demon Plant is sealed."

Before Zhao Wuyang's voice even faded.

"Hehehehehe~"

"Zhao old ghost, you've finally come to your senses!!"

The chains in the depths of the cave shook, a bizarre voice resounded.

Then countless blood-colored tentacle-like vines climbed along the chains...

"Cough, cough! Today I, Zhao Wuyang, feed myself to the demon, so that these lofty Sects might understand what true terror is!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhao Wuyang's eyes showed madness, emitting maniacal laughter.

...

Outside Qianye Spirit Island.

Qin Ming hurriedly made his way to the port. At the entrance of the post, the Nie Family elder who had brought them in yesterday also noticed him, grinning as he approached: "Yo! Isle Master Qin, heading out so late?"

"Yes, there's an urgent matter I need to attend to back home," Qin Ming replied calmly.

"Haha! What a pity, Isle Master Qin has just arrived and hasn't had a chance to enjoy a few days."

"But Isle Master Qin's important business comes first, I'll have them open the Array for passage right away," said the Nie Family elder.

He was about to turn and order the Defense Array to be opened.

At that moment.

Qin Ming gazed at the night sky outside, his eyes suddenly widening.

Rumble!

A vast army of demon beasts surged toward Qianye Spirit Island, filling the sky and sea outside the port.

What shocked him even more was a towering Black Giant Ape, over ten zhang high, with a pair of eerie eyes, radiating a terrifying aura, following behind the demon beast army, its target also Qianye Spirit Island.

The Nie Family guards on exterior patrol also witnessed this astonishing scene.

"Something's happening! Enemy attack!"

"Quick! Fully activate the Defense Grand Array!"

Then several signals burst in the sky above Qianye Spirit Island.

Nie Family cultivators immediately relayed the message inside the island.

Within the Valley Spirit Island station, people were still immersed in the lively and celebratory trading atmosphere.

Suddenly, a splendid magic exploded in the sky, illuminating the night like day.

Cultivators looked up in shock, expressions bewildered, beginning to panic.

"What's going on?"

"Isn't this the Nie Family's warning signal?"

"Could something big be happening?"

...

Qin Ming extended his Divine Sense outward; this beast tide was ferocious, with tens of Tier Two Demon Beasts, including some Late-stage Tier Two Great Demons, suggesting a premeditated plan.

While he pondered how to escape.

Rumble!

A massive earth-shaking explosion echoed throughout Qianye Spirit Island.

In an instant the ground trembled, and the island's Spiritual Qi began to become chaotic.
