Chapter 240 Backstab
The newcomer was none other than Mo Lingwei from Azure Haze Island.
Originally, the Mo Family had pledged allegiance to Zhao Wuji. After the Thousand Leaf Island incident and the Zhao Family's defeat, the Mo Family was also wanted by the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
After she successfully escaped back then, no one knew where she had taken her Clan Members. The entire Mo Family had vanished without a trace from the Spirit Dwelling Islands.
This time, accompanying her return was Old Mo, the former steward of the Mo Family, who had also advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Old Mo must have had some Fated Chance, otherwise, with his advanced age, achieving Foundation Establishment would have been quite difficult.
Mo Lingwei was also in Disguise, not revealing her Spirit Dwelling Islands' number one Fairy's captivating True Appearance.
What surprised Qin Ming was this.
Those traveling with Mo Lingwei were actually three Demonic Path Cultivators!
Although they concealed themselves well and restrained their Magical Power Aura, they were seen through at a glance by Qin Ming's powerful Divine Sense.
These people came to Thousand Leaf Island and went straight to the Demon Cave's location, they must have some ulterior motive.
Back when Mo Lingwei worked for Zhao Wuji, she must have been very familiar with the Secrets On the island, and the Demon Cave's hiding place was naturally no exception.
"Mo Senior Sister, are you sure this is the place? You must not be mistaken."
Among the three Demonic Cultivators, a gaunt middle-aged man with a sinister expression revealed a slight smile.
Mo Lingwei's Expression was frosty, and she said in a steady tone, "That's right, it's here. I once entered with Zhao Wuji of the Zhao Family."
"Excellent!"
Upon hearing this, the gaunt man's gaze immediately revealed an excited Expression, "The Inheritance of the legendary Blood Bone Demon Lord must be inside!"
"Hahaha! Senior Brother Yuan Feng, even if those guys from the other sects rack their brains, they would never imagine it would be here."
"That's right! It was previously said that Lin Zixiao had searched Thousand Leaf Island, but all for naught."
"I heard that on his way back, he suffered a great loss near Square Inch Mountain!"
"For him to suffer a loss, it shows that the Wei Kingdom is still full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"Do you know who did it?"
"Lin Zixiao won't say, so who would know?"
"Let's not talk about this."
"In the end, wouldn't it all be cheaper for our Ten Thousand Souls Valley, hahaha!"
The other two Cultivators echoed in agreement.
"Time is of the essence, Mo Senior Sister, please!" The sinister gaunt man gestured.
"To think that the first time cooperating with Mo Senior Sister would yield such a harvest!"
Mo Lingwei said calmly, "We are just taking what we need. I only need the Heavenly Corpse Pearl inside, and I don't want anything else."
"No problem! Happy cooperation!"
"Hurry up and start, where is the Entrance?"
The three Demonic Cultivators revealed excited Expressions, already unable to wait.
If they could really obtain the Inheritance of the Blood Bone Demon Lord, wouldn't they soar to the sky in a single bound!
Subsequently.
Mo Lingwei was seen taking out a Crimson Talisman from her hand and releasing it towards the ruins.
The Entrance that was previously concealed by the Devouring Heaven Rat reappeared.
Seeing the Entrance appear, everyone became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Then, the group entered in single file into the pitch-black Cave Entrance.
Only when Mo Lingwei entered the Cave Entrance, she raised her head to carefully examine her surroundings, and her Dark Eyebrows furrowed slightly in thought for a moment.
Then, she shook her head and followed into the inside, then concealed the Entrance again.
Qin Ming, seeing this, pondered slightly.
"This Mo Lingwei… how did she get mixed up with Demonic Cultivators again? And even became a Disciple of Ten Thousand Souls Valley, one of the Six Demonic Path Sects."
"It's somewhat unbelievable!"
"Never mind, let's follow them and see what happens."
Immediately, he called for the Devouring Heaven Rat and secretly tailed after them.
Incense Stick Duration later.
Qin Ming and the Devouring Heaven Rat were proceeding slowly along a pitch-black Tunnel spiraling downwards.
Suddenly, sounds of fighting came from ahead. With a thought, he immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate, and saw at the end of the Tunnel below, a pitch-black and wide Cavern appeared.
Inside, Yin energy was dense and chilling winds howled. Countless Remains were piled up in the Cavern, some of Demonic Beasts, and some of Cultivators.
In the very center was placed a pitch-black Stone Coffin. The coffin lid had already been opened, and it was empty inside.
Mo Lingwei and the Demonic Cultivator from Ten Thousand Souls Valley named Yuan Feng were battling a Black Iron Corpse covered in Mysterious Iron.
Qin Ming only probed slightly and saw that the Strength of the Black Iron Corpse with a ferocious face had actually reached the Late Tier 2 level.
Moreover, the Demon Zombie was invulnerable to blades and spears, completely different from ordinary zombies, and was not afraid of Flame and Lightning Spell.
For a time, those Demonic Path Cultivators were also helpless against this ferocious being.
Adding to the Demon Zombie's seemingly endless stamina, as well as the interference from several Second Order Ghostly Creatures and numerous Low-Rank Spirit Bodies around them.
The five people inside also began to show signs of fatigue, and each of them began to sweat profusely.
Especially Old Mo, whose Cultivation was the lowest, had already been injured, and scarlet Fresh Blood seeped out, causing the Late Tier 2 Black Iron Corpse to become even more frenzied.
"Mo Senior Sister, what is the meaning of this?"
"Didn't you say that there was no danger here? At most, just some Low-Rank Ghostly Creatures."
"How could a Late Tier 2 Demon Zombie suddenly appear?"
Yuan Feng of Ten Thousand Souls Valley questioned Mo Lingwei with a flustered Expression.
"Senior Brother Yuan, I also don't know. When Zhao Wuji brought me down here, this Demon Zombie was only Second Tier Early-Stage. I don't know why it has advanced to Late Tier 2 so quickly." Mo Lingwei's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said with an anxious Expression.
Qin Ming, watching the group in the Cavern below, subconsciously sensed a trace of something amiss.
Just at this moment.
A sudden change occurred in the Cavern! Mo Lingwei, taking advantage of Yuan Feng's entanglement with the Black Iron Corpse, suddenly took out a gray bead in her hand, which was filled with obscure Fiend Qi.
The moment this bead appeared, a burst of dark light poured into the Black Iron Corpse's body, and then the Demon Zombie seemed to be stimulated by something.
Immediately, a dense black mist emerged, and its aura actually soared by a large margin in an instant.
Roar! The Demon Zombie roared at Yuan Feng, spitting out a cloud of black mist. The latter's Expression drastically changed on the spot, and he hurriedly abandoned the Spirit Artifact he was wielding.
But just as he was about to retreat.
Puchi!
Clang! "Ah!"
A cold light flashed.
A blue Spirit Sword stabbed out in a bizarre manner, severing one of Yuan Feng's arms! And the person who drew the sword was Mo Lingwei.
Yuan Feng staggered to a halt, his sinister face revealing a look of ferocity, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Bitch! You really have ulterior motives!"
"If I hadn't been secretly guarding against you and kept a trump card."
"I'm afraid I would have really fallen for your trick!"
Mo Lingwei succeeded in one strike, but her face was filled with frost, and there was no sign of joy. She originally thought that by cooperating with the Demon Zombie and adding her unexpected sneak attack.
She should have been able to take the life of this Late Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Cultivator Yuan Feng.
But unexpectedly, he was wearing a life-saving inner armor. Her sword, with all her strength, only barely severed one of his arms.
The Heavenly Corpse Pearl cannot control that Late Tier 2 Demon Zombie for too long. Once it wakes up, things will be terrible.
The opportunity to kill Yuan Feng will also be fleeting.
At this moment, the other two Demonic Cultivators from Ten Thousand Souls Valley also realized what was happening.
However, they were entangled by several Ghostly Creatures and could not support Yuan Feng.
Qin Ming and the Devouring Heaven Rat watched in secret, dumbfounded.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly eye-opening."
"As expected, the most poisonous heart belongs to a woman!"
"These Human Clan Cultivators are afraid they won't live long."
The Devouring Heaven Rat commented critically.
"The gray bead in Mo Lingwei's hand, is that the Heavenly Corpse Pearl she mentioned?"
"It can actually briefly control that Demon Zombie, quite interesting."
