The person who came was none other than Mo Lingwei from Qingxia Island.

Initially, the Mo Family pledged allegiance to Zhao Wuji, but after the upheaval on Qianye Island, the Zhao Family was defeated, and the Mo Family was also hunted by the Loose Alliance.

After she successfully escaped, it was unknown where she took her clansmen, as the entire Mo Family vanished without a trace from the Spirit Nest Islands.

This time, returning with her was the old steward, Elder Mo, who had also advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Elder Mo must have had a serendipitous encounter; otherwise, given his advanced age, establishing a Foundation would not have been easy.

Mo Lingwei had also disguised herself, not revealing the stunning true appearance of the Spirit Nest Islands' number one Fairy.

However, what surprised Qin Ming was.

Accompanying Mo Lingwei were three Demonic Cultivators!

Even though they hid well and suppressed the mana aura on their bodies, Qin Ming's powerful Divine Thought saw through them at a glance.

These people coming to Qianye Island and heading straight to where the Demon Cave was located must have a motive.

Back when Mo Lingwei was working for Zhao Wuji, she must have known the secrets of Qianye Island well, including the hiding place of the Demon Cave.

"Junior Sister Mo, are you sure this is the place? You mustn't make a mistake."

Among the three demonic cultivators, a thin and sinister-looking middle-aged man smiled faintly.

Mo Lingwei replied with a frosty expression and a steady voice: "No mistake, this is it. I once went in with Zhao Wuji of the Zhao Family."

"That's very good!"

The thin man's eyes gleamed with excitement upon hearing this. "The legendary legacy of the Blood Bone Demon Monarch must be in there!"

"Hahaha! Brother Yuann Feng, the other sects would never guess it would be here, no matter how hard they think."

"Exactly! It was said even Lin Zixiao searched on Qianye Island but returned empty-handed."

"Rumor has it he suffered a great loss near Inch Mountain on the way back!"

"For him to suffer a loss, it shows that the Wei Country truly hides many talents in obscurity."

"Do you know who did it?"

"Lin Zixiao didn't say, so who would know?"

"Let's not talk about it any longer."

"Ultimately, it works out for us in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, hahaha!"

The other two cultivators readily agreed.

"There's no time to lose, Junior Sister Mo, please lead the way!" the sinister thin man gestured.

"I never expected that collaborating with Junior Sister Mo for the first time would yield such results!"

Mo Lingwei calmly replied, "It's just a mutual benefit; I only need the Celestial Corpse Pearl among them, nothing else."

"No problem! Happy cooperation!"

"Let's start quickly, where is the entrance?"

The three demonic cultivators were visibly excited and could hardly wait.

If they could indeed acquire the legacy of the Blood Bone Demon Monarch, it would be like soaring to great heights!

Soon after.

Mo Lingwei produced a blood-colored talisman in her hand and released it towards the ruins.

The entrance, previously concealed by the Heaven-Devouring Rat, resurfaced.

Seeing the entrance appear, everyone was as excited as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.

They then streamed in one after another, entering the pitch-black passage.

As Mo Lingwei entered the entrance, she looked around carefully, slightly furrowing her brows in thought.

She then shook her head, followed inside, and hid the entrance again.

Qin Ming saw this and thought for a moment.

"This Mo Lingwei... how did she end up with the demonic cultivators again? And she even became a disciple of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls, one of the Six Demonic Sects."

"It's somewhat baffling!"

"Let's not worry about it for now, let's follow and see."

He then summoned the Heaven-Devouring Rat and quietly followed them.

A stick of incense later.

Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat were proceeding slowly along a winding dark passageway.

Suddenly the sound of fighting came from ahead.

He focused his mind and immediately used his Divine Thought to scout ahead, seeing a vast, dark cavern at the end of the passage.

Inside, the atmosphere was sinister, and the biting cold wind wailed, with piles of corpses, both Demon Beasts and Cultivators.

At the center was a pitch-black stone coffin with its lid already opened, empty inside.

Mo Lingwei and the demonic cultivator from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls named Yuann Feng were battling a Black Zombie covered in Profound Iron.

Qin Ming only needed a quick scan to determine that the ferocious Profound Iron Black Zombie had reached Late-stage Tier Two.

The Demon Zombie was impervious to weaponry, unlike regular zombies, and was unaffected by fire or Thunder Techniques.

The demonic cultivators struggled against it, unable to gain an advantage.

The Profound Iron Black Zombie's endless stamina, coupled with the interference from several Tier Two Ghosts and numerous Low-Tier Spirit Bodies, took a toll.

The five inside began to show fatigue, sweating profusely.

Especially the weakest cultivator, Elder Mo, was injured, his scarlet blood seeping out, driving the Tier Two Profound Iron Black Zombie into greater frenzy.

"Junior Sister Mo, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say there was no danger here, just some Low-Tier Ghosts?"

"How did a Late-stage Tier Two Demon Zombie suddenly appear?"

Yuann Feng from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls anxiously questioned Mo Lingwei.

"Brother Yuann, I truly do not know. When Zhao Wuji took me down initially, the Demon Zombie was only at Early-stage Tier Two. I don't know why it advanced to Late-stage Tier Two so quickly," Mo Lingwei's beautiful eyes flickered with urgency as she spoke.

Qin Ming watched the people in the cavern below but instinctively sensed something was off.

At that moment.

An unexpected change suddenly occurred in the cavern!

Mo Lingwei, while Yuann Feng was entangled with the Profound Iron Black Zombie, suddenly took out a gray bead from her hand, emanating ominous Evil Qi.

As soon as the bead appeared, it emitted a dark glow that surged into the Profound Iron Black Zombie. The Demon Zombie seemed to be stimulated.

A thick black fog erupted from it, and its aura significantly intensified in an instant.

Roar!

The Demon Zombie spat black fog towards Yuann Feng, who turned pale and hurriedly abandoned his Spiritual Artifact.

As he was about to retreat.

Swish!

Clang!

"Aah!"

A cold gleam flashed.

A blue Spirit Sword bizarrely stabbed out, severing one of Yuann Feng's arms!

The person who wielded the sword was Mo Lingwei.

Yuann Feng halted in a wretched state, his sinister face showing a grim expression as he cursed through gritted teeth: "You bitch! I knew you were up to no good!"

"If I hadn't secretly guarded against you with some precautions."

"I'd have fallen for your trick!"

Having struck successfully, Mo Lingwei's face remained icy, showing no trace of joy; she originally thought that with the Demon Zombie's cooperation and her surprise attack.

She should have been able to take the life of Yuann Feng, this late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator.

But unexpectedly, he was wearing a protective inner armor, and her full-powered strike only managed to sever one of his arms.

The Celestial Corpse Pearl couldn't control the Late-stage Tier Two Demon Zombie for long; once it recovered, things would go badly.

The chance to kill Yuann Feng would vanish in an instant.

At this moment, the other two demonic cultivators from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls realized what was happening.

However, they were also entangled with several ghosts, unable to assist Yuann Feng.

Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat, watching from the shadows, were stunned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, quite enlightening."

"Indeed, the most venomous is a woman's heart!"

"These Human Race Cultivators probably won't live much longer."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat remarked snidely.

"The gray bead in Mo Lingwei's hand, is that the Celestial Corpse Pearl she mentioned?"

"To think it can temporarily control that Demon Zombie, interesting."
