Accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The entire Qianye Island shook violently a few times, and many of the buildings on the island collapsed with a crash.

More critically, after this sound, Qin Ming could feel that the Tier Three Spirit Vein of Qianye Spirit Island had been damaged by someone!

The Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Vein began to continually leak out from the cracks.

"High-Tier Earth-shaking Array!" a thought flashed through Qin Ming's mind.

This was a sinister array capable of directly attacking the Earth Vein; once a Spirit Vein is broken, it becomes irreversible, bringing extreme detriment to one's karma.

Simultaneously.

Deep beneath Qianye Spirit Island, Zhao Wuji held an Array Disc in his hand, with a look of madness on his face: "Hahaha! It's done!"

"You did well!"

Mo Lingwei looked at his frenzied state with a complicated expression, momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment.

A chilling aura wafted from the cave below.

Mo Lingwei turned pale, gazing into the darkness.

Zhao Wuji also looked over, a biting cold enveloping the area.

A figure full of oppressive presence slowly emerged.

Mo Lingwei's pupils constricted—it was none other than the supposedly deceased Zhao Family Ancestor, Zhao Wuyang.

His face was ghastly pale, with a large hole on his forehead, inside which some blood-colored plant tendrils seemed to be writhing.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Mo Lingwei was also quite terrified.

A few breaths later, the large hole on "Zhao Wuyang's" head mysteriously stitched itself up, returning to its original state.

He turned his head, his gaze icy as he observed the two in the dark corridor.

"S-senior..."

"You have indeed formed a Blood Contract with the Ancestor..."

Zhao Wuji knew that the other party was no longer his family's Ancestor, having already been parasitized by that terrifying Tier Three Demon Plant sealed deep underground.

Even though he knew the inside story, he was still uneasy with the face-to-face confrontation.

"Naturally, above there's plenty of delicious blood food."

"This time, I can eat to my heart's content, barely restoring one-tenth of my power."

"You two still have your uses for me, so you can die a bit slower, huh huh huh!" Zhao Wuyang let out a terribly discordant sound.

...

On Qianye Island, the Tier Three Array became dim.

Boom!

Crack!

At this moment.

A massive figure clenched its fist and smashed it hard against the Tier Three Array, creating glass-like cracks in the already precarious formation with just one punch.

"Double-Pupil Demon Ape!!"

"Why has this fierce beast come,"

"Not good! Apart from a Golden Core Master, no one can contend with it."

"Quickly seek aid from Vast Sea Immortal City! Hurry!"

The members of the Mirror Snow Pavilion watched the scene outside. As they were about to evacuate Qianye Spirit Island, they encountered this sight.

All the cultivators on the island also discovered the Demon Beast army outside and witnessed the might of the Demon Ape firsthand.

Everyone was thinking about how to escape.

At this moment, a golden light flew into the sky, emanating an immense Spiritual Pressure, causing the breath of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present to halt suddenly.

"Welcome, Ancestor!" The members of the Nie Family, seeing this person appear, felt as if they had found their backbone amidst their chaos.

"Look, it's the Fake Pill Ancestor of the Nie Family, Nie Sheng."

"With the Fake Pill Ancestor here, we should be able to contend with the Demon Ape, right?"

"It's said that last time it severely injured two Fake Pill Ancestors, what do you think?"

"Only Master Vast Sea can handle the Demon Ape."

"But distant water can't put out a nearby fire."

"Then we're finished, just wait for death."

"..."

Faced with such an earth-shattering upheaval, the cultivators from the Nie Family also mobilized en masse, ready for battle.

"Ancestor, what should we do?" Nie Aoshan of Foundation Establishment Perfection asked respectfully, stepping forward.

Nie Sheng frowned, slowly saying, "Something's off! I feel there's another extremely dangerous aura on the island."

"Even if I face it myself, I'm not confident."

"You should find a chance to escape quickly! Hurry!"

"I can hold them off for a while!"

Upon hearing that even their Ancestor said such, Nie Aoshan's face turned extremely grim.

At this moment.

A very mocking voice sounded from the sky.

"Where do you think you're going ~"

"Can you escape? Hahahaha!"

Hiding in the shadows, Qin Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Wuji in a black robe, accompanied by Mo Lingwei, although she was disguised.

"It's Zhao Wuji!"

"I didn't expect he was still alive!"

"Is he behind the events on Qianye Spirit Island?"

"He's actually colluding with the Demon Beasts, with grand ambitions!"

At this moment, a late-stage Foundation Establishment Elder from the Nie Family saw Zhao Wuji appear, and immediately roared out in anger, rushing at him: "Zhao Wuji, you dare come back, prepare to die!"

"Don't!" Fake Pill Ancestor Nie Sheng hurriedly called out to stop him.

But it was too late.

The air beside Zhao Wuji twisted, and an elderly figure appeared, none other than the Zhao Family's Fake Pill Ancestor 'Zhao Wuyang.'

The late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Nie Family saw this bizarre scene and immediately froze, intending to urgently fly back in retreat upon seeing it was the Zhao Family's Fake Pill Ancestor.

But before he could cast his Magic.

Pft!

A sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest! Looking down, he saw a pale, withered hand, covered in fresh blood, piercing through his back to his chest, holding a still-beating heart, and blood sprayed out incessantly.

Soon after, his vision gradually went dark.

'Zhao Wuyang' flashed a ghostly smile, exerted force with his hand, and in just a breath's time, an Elder of the Nie Family's Late-stage Foundation Establishment was reduced to a dried corpse.

Hiss!

The crowd below witnessed this scene and collectively gasped in shock.

"Fake Pill Ancestor, he's terrifying beyond measure!"

"Why is the Zhao Family Ancestor so sinister? Has he cultivated a Demonic Cultivation Technique?"

"We must escape, he's not dead after all!"

Qin Ming felt his scalp tingle, his strong Divine Thought could sense that this 'Zhao Wuyang' was likely no longer human.

He immediately determined a direction, ready to dash out the moment the Array broke.

...

The Nie Family Ancestor, seeing his clansman killed, roared with fury, "How dare you!"

He then formed a powerful Flame Spell with his hands and hurled it at 'Zhao Wuyang' like a tidal wave.

Boom!

Watching the fire sweep across the sky like a tsunami, 'Zhao Wuyang' sneered disdainfully.

He opened his mouth to an unbelievable extent, and a crimson tentacle extended out, instantly piercing through the wall of flames.

Thud!

When the Nie Family's people came to their senses, they realized that their Fake Pill Ancestor, Nie Sheng, had been pierced through the neck by the crimson tentacle, suspended eerily in mid-air, with blood gushing from his mouth. His eyes were filled with terror, yet he couldn't utter a word.

Zhao Wuyang's tentacle exerted a forceful suction, and in an instant, the once-mighty Fake Pill Ancestor was transformed into a dried corpse.

Having done all this, Zhao Wuyang's face turned rosy, and he contentedly licked his lips with a red tongue, "Such a nostalgic flavor!"

Instantly killing a Fake Pill Ancestor as easily as squashing an ant!

At this moment.

Not only the Nie Family but individuals from various Spirit Islands and factions below also realized that something was wrong with the Zhao Family Ancestor and scattered in panic, fleeing for their lives.

"Monster!"

"What is that demonic being?"

"The Zhao Family Ancestor might have been possessed by a demon!"

"Run quickly! It's too terrifying!"

...

When they attempted to flee to the island's edge, they realized that Qianye Spirit Island was already surrounded by swarms of Demon Beasts.

In the sky, Zhao Wuji moved, his gaze locked on the cultivators below, and he swiftly flew down.

"Alliance Leader Huoo, long time no see, don't run away!"

Immediately, a green light appeared in his hand, and a Flying Blade Spiritual Artifact emitting astounding spiritual charm shot towards the opponent.

Huoo Qianqiu's expression darkened as he pulled out a black defensive Spiritual Artifact, barely blocking the strike.

Subsequently, more than twenty remnants of the Zhao Family, clad in black robes, emerged from all directions, surrounding Huoo Qianqiu and others.

"Alliance Leader Huoo, I'll aid you." An elder in a black robe rushed over from a short distance, it was Yan Xiaotian, a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Giant Python Island.

Zhao Wuji's twisted face curled into a wicked smile, "Another one courting death, perfect for sending you all on your way together."

Immediately, several Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators began to battle fiercely.

...

After one incense stick of time passed.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming suppressed his aura, resembling a withered wood, hiding in the shadows and ready to dash out at any moment.

He also swallowed a Hundred Illusion Pill, transforming into the appearance of a burly man with a full beard.

Because Zhao Wuji could recognize him, encountering him would invariably bring many troubles.

At present, Qin Ming was not afraid of Zhao Wuji, but more apprehensive about the eerie 'Zhao Wuyang'.

Boom!

Crack!

Suddenly!

Once again, the ground shook violently, and the Double-Pupil Demon Ape landed another punch, directly shattering the Tier Three Grand Array, with countless runes collapsing like bubbles.

Countless Demon Beasts flooded into Qianye Spirit Island, beginning a massacre of the encountered Human Race Cultivators.

Seeing the opportunity arise, Qin Ming wasted no time and summoned the Silver-winged Frost Bee, dashing towards a direction with slightly fewer Demon Beasts.

But just as he was about to rush out of Qianye Spirit Island, he noticed several black-robed cultivators chasing a group of people below.

The leader among the black-robed cultivators, rather coincidentally, was Zhao Wuji, and the ones being pursued were Aunt Long of Mirror Snow Pavilion and Li Mu among others.

Zhao Wuji, drenched in blood, wore a crazed expression, holding the head of a cultivator; it was none other than Yan Xiaotian from Giant Python Island!

The few from Mirror Snow Pavilion were already severely injured, Aunt Long and the others were pale-faced, evidently at their last gasp, and being caught and killed by Zhao Wuji was only a matter of time.

In Qin Ming's mind, several thoughts briefly intertwined, "In the face of disaster, there's no time to care about so much, I have to ensure my own survival first."

He immediately ordered the Silver-winged Frost Bee to accelerate and break out of the Spirit Island's boundaries.

At that moment.

A massive turquoise wind wall suddenly rose in front, blocking Qin Ming's path.

"So, there's still a fish that slipped through the net!"

Zhao Wuji's voice resounded calmly, then he drove a red fire ring toward Qin Ming!

Qin Ming's gaze turned cold. Since that was the case, he could not be blamed.

At this critical moment, he needed to give it his all and decide victory with one strike.

"True Gang Transformation!"

Boom!

Qin Ming's entire Qi Blood True Spirit erupted uncontrollably!

Causing the surrounding air to distort and ripple outward.

Suddenly!

A blood-red giant ape phantom appeared behind Qin Ming, towering over ten feet high, its size on par with the external Double-Pupil Demon Ape.

The blood-red giant ape clenched its five fingers into a fist, and spanning dozens of feet, it delivered a horizontal strike!

Bam!

In the astonished gazes of everyone, Zhao Wuji's entire upper body was blasted away with a punch, turning into a mist of blood, leaving only two legs standing in place.

Within the mist of blood, a Jade Ring fell out.

"Storage Sumeru Ring!"

Qin Ming's expression brightened, and he summoned it into his hand, then suddenly his Divine Thought swept back, sensing a figure in pursuit.

He hurriedly stowed his belongings, mounted the Silver-winged Frost Bee, transformed into a silver Escape Light and vanished into the horizon.
