After half an hour.

Qin Ming, who had transformed into a big man with a curly beard, showed a thoughtful expression on his face, his eyes flickering incessantly.

The demonic cultivator Yuann Feng, whom he was holding, was already motionless. His hollow eyes stared blankly upward, and his gaunt face still bore a twisted, pained expression, now thoroughly dead.

Through the use of the Soul Searching Technique, Qin Ming had figured out the circumstances under which these demonic cultivators risked coming to the Spirit Nest Islands.

'So, it's not just people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls; the entire demonic path's cultivators have recently been searching for the Blood Bone Demon Monarch's inheritance.'

'No wonder Lin Zixiao appeared...'

'And Mo Lingwei fled with her clan to Wei Country, only to be coincidentally intercepted by Yuann Feng and others.'

'They coerced her into joining the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls...'

'Later, Mo Lingwei used the Blood Bone Demon Monarch's inheritance as bait, leading to today's events.'

'This Blood Bone Demon Monarch inheritance... could it be that black iron fragment recording the "Primordial Evil Seed Demon Scripture" in my hand?'

...

For a long time.

Qin Ming casually tossed aside the corpse in his hand, then turned his gaze to Mo Lingwei.

Mo Lingwei, seeing "Long Daoist" eliminate the Nether Abyss Demon and Yuann Feng's group with lightning speed, was shocked beyond measure.

She quickly stepped forward and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Elder Long!"

"Hm?"

"You know me?"

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

Qin Ming deliberately asked in a gruff voice.

Naturally, he said this on purpose, given that he had obtained his Tier Three Spirit Plant Master inheritance through an exchange with Mo Lingwei.

During the change on Qianye Island, she had also warned him. Saving her life today was fulfilling an old debt.

Mo Lingwei hesitated at his words, then gritted her silver teeth and revealed her original stunning visage before hurrying to say:

"I am originally the Isle Master of Qingxia, Mo Lingwei. I joined the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls out of necessity, and Elder Long should have learned the situation from Yuann Feng."

"Please do not blame me, Elder Long!"

"Long Daoist" frowned at this, "I have no interest in the affairs between the righteous and demonic paths."

"Hehehe! But you are indeed quite a beauty!"

Long Daoist burst into laughter, reaching to grab Mo Lingwei with his large hands.

Mo Lingwei never expected the other to act like this and was momentarily stunned.

Yet as she was about to resist,

a dizzying sensation surged in her mind. Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Qin Ming then did the same to Elder Mo, fainting him as well and administering a Healing Elixir.

Elder Mo had been struck by the Nether Abyss Demon, damaging his foundation, and almost lost his life. Even if he recovered, his immortal path would end here.

To Qin Ming, both Mo Lingwei and Elder Mo were old acquaintances, and he had no intention of taking their lives.

After dealing with all this, Qin Ming grabbed the Profound Iron Black Zombie embedded in the stone wall.

Once this creature regained mobility, it attacked Qin Ming ferociously, only for him to smash its head with a slap, ending it completely.

Subsequently, Qin Ming also collected the demon zombie's corpse.

"This demon zombie is also a good material for cultivating Spirit Plants!"

Next.

Qin Ming carefully searched through the Demon Cave, gathering numerous ghostly corpses, enough to cultivate Fengyou Ghost Jujube.

After wandering around with no additional discoveries.

"Presumably, the most valuable item in this Demon Cave is that black iron fragment."

"Now that I have the materials, it's time to withdraw."

Qin Ming retraced his steps. Before leaving, he glanced again at Mo Lingwei on the ground, "Fellow Daoist Mo, take care. Perhaps we'll meet again."

But just as he was about to leave,

he caught sight of a reaction from the Celestial Corpse Pearl in Mo Lingwei's hand, emitting a faint gray light.

Qin Ming frowned and drew the Celestial Corpse Pearl into his hand.

Suddenly,

this Celestial Corpse Pearl seemed to be guided by some unknown force.

"What is this..."

Subsequently, he followed this guidance to a rocky wall deep within the Demon Cave.

Immediately, Qin Ming released his Divine Thought to investigate, discovering an inconspicuous groove on the rock wall, just enough to place the Celestial Corpse Pearl in.

He paused, pondering for a moment, then asked the Heaven-Devouring Rat beside him, "Can you sense any danger?"

"Uh...probably... not?" The Heaven-Devouring Rat sniffed around vigorously and replied uncertainly.

Qin Ming twitched, "What do you mean probably not? Are you capable or not?"

"Ehehe! The restrictions above are too strong; I can't tell," the Heaven-Devouring Rat confessed honestly.

At this, Qin Ming began to ponder.

Even with the Heaven-Devouring Rat, a Tier Three Demon King's Divine Techniques unable to sense what lay inside, he hesitated.

However, with his current strength, even if danger lurked, he could protect himself.

"Hidden so well, I wonder what it conceals."

Thus, Qin Ming embedded the Celestial Corpse Pearl into the wall.

Rumble!

On the black rock wall ahead, mysterious runes began to glow.

The entrance to a stone chamber appeared before Qin Ming's eyes.

Qin Ming drew out his Cyan Simurgh Sword and released his Divine Thought to explore inside.

After ascertaining the situation within, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he called the Heaven-Devouring Rat and stepped inside together.

Behind the stone gate was a circular stone chamber spanning several hundred feet, its stone walls inscribed with numerous esoteric and obscure runes.

Dozens of thick black chains linked to a stone platform in the center.

"Looks like... this was where the Tier Three Blood Curse Demon Vine was sealed..."

Qin Ming recognized some of the inscriptions on the walls. Having collected many Spirit Plant books and studied numerous obscure scripts, he had some familiarity.

After scanning the room with his Divine Thought and confirming no danger, he relaxed.

With the Blood Curse Demon Vine exterminated, the place had clearly become a deserted space.

Suddenly, a corner of the stone chamber caught Qin Ming's attention.

He went over to take a look and was astonished to find six Demon Seeds of the Blood Curse Demon Vine quietly rooted in the wall.

However, these seeds were all withered.

Close to the seeds lay a skeletal corpse.

Examining the clothing on the skeleton, Qin Ming found it somewhat familiar. Then, an idea struck him!

"Isn't this Zhao Family's Fake Pill Ancestor 'Zhao Wuyang'?"

"To think, after wandering around, he returned to Qianye Island and found his final resting place here."

He saw that Zhao Wuyang's skull had a large hole, guessing the likely reason.

"It must have been that when the Blood Curse Demon Vine found the Tier Three Howling Moon Demon King to parasitize, it abandoned Zhao Wuyang's body."

"A tragic end, reduced to mere nourishment for these seeds."

"Fortunately, the three grandmasters acted in time. To think the Blood Curse Demon Vine had already spawned its seeds. If these seeds had enough blood to grow..."

"The cultivation realm of Wei Country would likely cease to exist..."

With a sweep of his Divine Thought, a storage bag floated out from Zhao Wuyang's corpse.

A gleam of excitement appeared on Qin Ming's face, "I'm rich! A storage pouch from the Fake Pill Ancestor!"

"Congratulations, Master!" the Heaven-Devouring Rat chimed in with timely praise.

Qin Ming immediately opened the storage pouch and was momentarily caught off guard.

For Zhao Wuyang's storage pouch was not as well-stocked as he had imagined, containing only a handful of items.

Besides a few frequently-used High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, there were only some miscellaneous items left.

It seemed that Zhao Family's Ancestor, knowing his end was near, secretly transferred most resources elsewhere.

After a thorough search, Qin Ming's attention was drawn to a few bottles and jars.
