After Qi Ping sensed something was wrong, his main body in the territory immediately began arranging for the Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger's breakthrough.

The Tree-man Avatar in Zone C of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, meanwhile, pretended as if nothing had happened and continued chatting with Wang Mountain about the recent news from Qingshi County.

Because Wang Mountain had many friends and was proficient in gathering information, he knew a lot about the events happening to ordinary loose cultivators in Qingshi County.

The more Qi Ping understood, the more shocked and silent he became. When Wang Mountain presented Qi Ping with one vivid example after another — of when parents gave birth to their children, when they became delighted after discovering their child's extraordinary talent, when the child disappeared, and how the parents frantically searched upon the disappearance...

Those missing children were no longer just cold numbers; they were the hope of every family and the apple of every parent's eye.

Behind them were families in despair and parents who were living a life worse than death.

If one day Qi Ping were to suddenly disappear, how would Old Zhou handle it?

Especially considering the thicker-than-water bond between parents and children...

No matter how selfish and timid Qi Ping might be, upon hearing these vivid examples and feeling the despair within them, his heart couldn't help but be touched.

If it required risking his life, he might hesitate and retreat.

However, if his safety was guaranteed, Qi Ping didn't mind following his heart and embarking on a killing spree, especially since these guys had already been ruining this land...

...

Cloud Mist Mountain Range, within Qi Ping's territory.

"Awuu... (Boss, has something happened?)"

The Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger, which was napping beside Qi Ping, suddenly noticed his furrowed brows.

A flash of golden light appeared in its eyes, and a scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood appeared before its eyes.

"Yes, I'll arrange for my Tree-man Avatar to take a batch of Earth Armor Bees to kill some... perhaps a lot. I don't know how many." Qi Ping nodded.

"Awuu... (I just had a premonition and saw a scene where corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into a river... So boss, the number of people you have to kill this time will definitely be significant!)"

The little Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger explained in a calm and wise tone, creating a stark contrast to its cute and chubby appearance.

But upon confirming it was Qi Ping's doing, the little Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger couldn't help but be a bit shocked.

Over the past three years, it found Qi Ping to be a very gentle person, especially when playing with the little spirit fox, the little flower demon, and the three-colored deer, his demeanor never carried any hostility.

Even Qi Ping's Dao Heart Realm was centered around shelter, having nothing to do with aggression or killing.

But now, after years of peacefulness, Qi Ping's first action was akin to a scene from Asura Hell. How could this not surprise it?

Indeed, if he doesn't act, it's fine. But if he moves, it's like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

However, Qi Ping's following words immediately made it understand the reason.

"Today, I suddenly perceived a significant weakening in the Power of Heaven and Earth. As a Fortune Beast, you should be able to feel it. After investigating, I found that the Immortal Alliance is mass capturing and refining blood food, plundering heavenly fortunes..."

As Qi Ping spoke, the little Immortal Tiger caught a glimpse in its eyes of a large number of infants being skinned alive, then using special blood seeds to seal their flesh and souls alive, waiting for the blood seeds to root and sprout, and the process of refining blood food alive.

This cruel and disgusting scene made the little Immortal Tiger's body tremble uncontrollably, although it was highly intelligent, it was, after all, still a young beast.

However, after the initial terror, the little Immortal Tiger quickly calmed down, asking proactively and firmly,

"Awuu... (Boss, is there anything I can help with?)"

Qi Ping was also a bit surprised to see the little Immortal Tiger's eyes change from trembling to determined.

He knew the little Immortal Tiger must have seen some terrifying scene, but being able to stabilize so quickly and have a determined gaze was a testament to its qualities.

Qi Ping then said,

"I need you to break through to Tier Two, and then use the talents of [Deep Blessings] and [Insight into All Things] to protect me and the entire territory from being detected by Celestial Secret Calculations. Are you confident?"

"Awuu... (Don't worry, Boss. I have checked the omens for breaking through to Tier Two, which predicted success, I will definitely succeed!)"

"Awuu... (As for the matter of protection, Boss, don't worry. According to my inherited memories, even those a realm or two higher than me would find it hard to grasp the secrets of my bloodline, and with the heavenly fate and special Heaven and Earth Rules sheltering Boss, trying to divine you would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens, perhaps even subject to active attack and backlash by heavenly forces!)"

"Is there such a thing?" Qi Ping asked, surprised.

"Awuu... (Yes, Boss. Celestial divination inherently faces backlash from heavenly powers, and forcibly divining a Fate's blessed one is likely to result in receiving false information and the backlash would increase dramatically...)"

"I see, that sets my mind at ease then!"

...

After confirming everything was fine, Qi Ping immediately had the little Immortal Tiger prepare to break through to Tier Two.

With a lucky omen, ample resources, and Qi Ping's [Potential Activation] as the foundation, the breakthrough went exceptionally smoothly.

A little over a day later, the little Immortal Tiger officially reached the initial stage of Tier Two!

After the breakthrough, the little Immortal Tiger's body not only grew larger but also exuded an increasingly powerful and domineering aura.

"Awuu... (Boss, leave the matter of concealing Celestial Secret Calculation to me! There will absolutely not be any issues!)" The little Immortal Tiger said in a tender yet incredibly firm voice.

For Celestial Secret Calculations, Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger may not match the Profound Turtle Bloodline, but in terms of concealing celestial secrets, the Bai Ze Bloodline of the Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger is far superior to the Profound Turtle lineage!

"Good! I'll leave everything to you!"

With the little Immortal Tiger's assurance, Qi Ping felt his last trace of worry completely vanish.

...

After things had settled within Qi Ping's territory, far from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, a demonic figure abruptly opened its eyes.

Kekekeke!

This demonic figure was naturally Qi Ping's Tree-man Avatar.

Surrounded by a swarm of bees, Qi Ping's figure sped towards the Huishan Merchant Association's base in Qingshi County!

Soon after, atop the luxurious building in the center of the Huishan Merchant Association, a demonic figure easily breached the barrier array and barged into the top-level pavilion.

Inside, the Huishan Merchant Association's president, adorned in finery, and the vice president, steeped in the scent of money, suddenly turned pale at the sight of the demonic figure.

"Who are you, friend? Why have you intruded upon our Huishan Merchant Association?"

The two watched Qi Ping, engulfed in a demonic aura, with nervousness, a sense of impending doom welling in their hearts.

This individual could silently bypass their array and reach this place, indicating extraordinary skill and methods!

Then, they focused on the unabashed demonic aura surrounding Qi Ping and the thousands of Earth Armor Bees hovering around him. A blood-colored figure, frightening and unforgettable, surfaced in their memories.

At that time, this figure terrorized the ordinary Foundation Establishment influences of the entire Immortal Alliance, and they were naturally among them. Fortunately, the Bee Daoist self-destructed in the end!

But now, seeing this demonic aura figure and the familiar swarm of bees, they felt their scalps tingling!

Qi Ping, facing their questions, showed no interest in responding, simply uttering four ghostly words:

"Leave no one alive!"

The evidence was conclusive, no need for further words!

The next moment, countless fragments like the scales of a flood dragon swept across the entire space, followed by a suffocating grand array forming rapidly!
