Qin Ming released his divine thought for a moment and sensed that the person rushing over was none other than the Golden Core Master, Nalan Xi from the Vast Sea Immortal City, along with a middle-aged Fake Pill Ancestor.

However, he did not recognize the middle-aged Fake Pill Ancestor, who likely was also a cultivator from the Vast Sea Immortal City.

The journey from the Vast Sea Immortal City to here wouldn't take long, considering the tunneling speed of a Golden Core Master.

The large troop of reinforcements should be following behind shortly.

Once these two powerful cultivators arrived, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Double-Pupil Demon Ape and Zhao Wuyang, who was parasitized by a Demon Plant.

The overwhelming magic power of the Golden Core Ancestor descended upon Thousand-leaf Spirit Island with great might.

From a distance, Qin Ming saw the Double-Pupil Demon Ape being beaten back step by step by Master Vast Sea, looking extremely ragged and fleeing in a sorry state.

Compared to its former menacing appearance, as if a demon had descended, it was like a completely different ape...

After a while.

Groups of dharma ships from the Vast Sea Immortal City began to appear near Thousand-leaf Spirit Island.

Those cultivators who had narrowly escaped death breathed a sigh of relief at this scene, secretly feeling fortunate.

"Sigh! We almost perished!"

"Had the Vast Sea Immortal City's reinforcements arrived any later, all the cultivators on Thousand-leaf Island would have been wiped out."

"It was really too dangerous!"

"Where's Zhao Wuji? It was all Zhao Family's doing."

"Yes, the remnants of the Zhao Family colluded with Demon Beasts and released a terrifying demon; they truly deserve to be punished!"

"Our Maple Island stands irreconcilably opposed to the Zhao Family!"

"..."

The people of Mirror Snow Pavilion also escaped danger and boarded the dharma ship.

Gu Qingzhao, dressed in plain clothes, stepped out, first comforting the wounded before looking around the crowd, but she found one person missing.

She furrowed her delicate brows and immediately asked Aunt Long: "Where is Fellow Daoist Qin?"

"Wasn't he with you?"

Aunt Long and others became somber upon hearing this, hesitating as they said: "Fellow Daoist Qin didn't leave with us."

"It was thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin notifying us in time about the great upheaval coming to Qianye Spirit Island, allowing us to evacuate immediately."

"We also made temporary preparations; otherwise, it might have been a total loss."

"Uh... After notifying us, Fellow Daoist Qin did not return to the other courtyard but left first. But fortune favors the kind-hearted, he should be fine." Li Mu came over to explain.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhao asked, perplexed: "How did Fellow Daoist Qin know that there would be a great change on Qianye Spirit Island?"

"Uh... that's not clear; perhaps Fellow Daoist Qin learned of it at the last minute." Aunt Long thought for a moment and continued: "The upheaval occurred shortly after he informed us."

At this moment, Huangfu Qii, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "When I went to intercept earlier, I observed the vicinity of Spirit Island and didn't spot any sign of Fellow Daoist Qin."

"As for Zhao Wuyang in the center of the island..."

"No, I must confirm it." Gu Qingzhao said.

The people of Mirror Snow Pavilion could tell that their Pavilion Master was very concerned about Fellow Daoist Qin's safety.

Gu Qingzhao immediately took out a communication talisman and sent it to Qin Ming.

Meanwhile, in the sky.

Qin Ming, transformed into a burly man with a full beard, was fleeing toward his old lair.

Suddenly, he felt a response from his communication talisman, paused, and took it out to see it was sent by Gu Qingzhao.

After reading the message, he immediately replied to her: "Fellow Daoist Gu, don't worry, I have safely evacuated from Qianye Island. I'll come to the Vast Sea Immortal City after some time."

Upon receiving Qin Ming's reply, Gu Qingzhao was at ease and then organized her people to leave the area.

The remaining matters on Qianye Spirit Island would naturally be handled by others.

When Qin Ming broke out before, he headed in the opposite direction of Wangyue Island, therefore he had to take a detour.

As for Mo Lingwei, who followed him out, nobody knew where she had gone.

Overhead of Qianye Spirit Island, the sounds of violent explosions could still be vaguely heard.

It was likely that the reinforcements from the Vast Sea Immortal City were fighting with the Demon Beasts.

Qin Ming shook his head, ignoring it, and continued to speed forward.

After flying for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Suddenly, he sensed a dozen massive dharma ships rapidly approaching from not far ahead in his direction.

Before he could maneuver to avoid them, the massive fleet was upon him in an instant.

The well-equipped dharma ships exuded great momentum, with Thunder Origin Sect's flags hanging from the masts, indicating their overlord-level status in the Wei Country's Cultivation Realm.

On the leading dharma ship stood several blue-robed cultivators, one of whom immediately waved his hand, ordering the entire fleet to stop upon seeing Qin Ming.

"Hey, you over there..."

"That guy over there... come here for a moment!"

Qin Ming glanced around and seeing no one else, figured they must be referring to him. So he flew over and landed on the dharma ship.

The arrogant young man, whose cultivation was at the late-stage Qi Cultivation, initially seemed ready to question Qin Ming, but upon noticing that the newcomer was a Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator, fierce and formidable, clearly not someone to mess with, he quickly changed his demeanor to one of submission.

He put on a smiling face, "Ah, my apologies, senior!"

"We from Thunder Origin Sect received a request for help from Qianye Spirit Island and intended to inquire about the situation from you."

Qin Ming was about to feign ignorance, planning to answer briefly and leave.

But just then.

A young cultivator, dressed in a white robe with a gold silk pattern, emerged from the cabin, with a high crown and sharp eyebrows.

What made Qin Ming apprehensive was that this person's cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, with unfathomable strength.

As he appeared, the surrounding cultivators all greeted him.

"Senior Brother!"

Qin Ming felt a chill in his heart. Even though he was not well-informed, he knew that being addressed as 'Senior Brother' by the cultivators of Thunder Origin Sect could only mean the unmatched genius known as "Wei Country's First Sword"—Wei Wuya.

It was said that this person was a Celestial Spirit Root Cultivator and regarded as the successor to the Sect Leader of Thunder Origin Sect, a genuine Golden Core candidate.

He held tremendous power; he was second only to the Sect Leader and Golden Core Ancestors in Thunder Origin Sect, where his word was law.

In the Wei Country's Foundation Establishment Cultivator rankings, Wei Wuya was ranked third, even higher than Huangfu Qii.

Faced with such a person, Qin Ming dared not be careless, so he stepped forward, cupping his hands, and said: "Elder Wei, I've heard much of your renown!"

Wei Wuya merely cast a glance at Qin Ming, then, in an unquestionable tone, asked: "Tell me, what's the situation on the island."

He evidently sensed the trail of combat with Demon Beasts on Qin Ming, something any expert could detect to some extent.

However, he hadn't seen through Qin Ming's disguise with the Hundred Illusion Pill.

Knowing he couldn't evade under this person's scrutiny, Qin Ming gave a general account of the situation on the island to Wei Wuya.

Half a cup of tea passed.

"If there's nothing else, I'll not delay your sect's matters any further." Qin Ming was ready to take his leave.
