Chapter 242: Destination
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Qin Ming, in the guise of a Curly-Bearded Strongman, revealed a thoughtful expression on his face, his gaze flickering incessantly.
The Demonic Cultivator Yuan Feng, whom he held in his hand, was no longer moving. His empty gaze stared blankly upwards, his withered face still frozen in a twisted, painful expression, deader than dead.
Qin Ming, through employing the Soul Searching Technique on him, understood the ins and outs of why this group of Demonic Cultivators had risked everything to come to the Spirit Abode Archipelago.
'So it's not just people from Ten Thousand Souls Valley. Cultivators from the entire Demonic Path have recently been searching for the Inheritance of the Blood Bone Demon Lord.'
'No wonder I encountered Lin Zixiao…'
'And Mo Lingwei, while leading her Clan Members to flee Wei Kingdom, happened to be bumped into by Yuan Feng and the others.'
'They coerced and forced her to join Ten Thousand Souls Valley.'
'Afterwards, Mo Lingwei used the Blood Bone Demon Lord's Inheritance as Bait, leading to today's events.'
'This Blood Bone Demon Lord Inheritance… could it be that black iron piece in my hand that records the *Primal Fiend Seed Scripture*?'
…
A long while passed.
Qin Ming casually tossed aside the corpse in his hand, then shifted his gaze to Mo Lingwei's body.
Mo Lingwei, seeing 'Daoist Long' annihilate Nether Abyss Demon and Yuan Feng and the others with thunderous momentum, was inwardly horrified.
She quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Senior Long!"
"Hmm?"
"You recognize me?"
"Give me a reason not to kill you."
Qin Ming deliberately asked in a muffled voice.
Of course, he only said this deliberately. His Tier 3 Spirit Herb Master Inheritance was still obtained from Mo Lingwei in exchange.
During the Thousand Leaf Island Incident, she had also sent him a warning. Saving her life today could be considered settling a karma.
Mo Lingwei hesitated upon hearing this, then immediately gritted her silver teeth, used a technique to reveal her original captivating appearance, and quickly said:
"Junior was originally Azure Haze Island Lord Mo Lingwei. Joining Ten Thousand Souls Valley was also a last resort. Presumably, Senior should have learned about the situation from Yuan Feng."
"Please forgive me, Senior!"
'Daoist Long' frowned upon hearing this, "I have no interest in matters of righteous and demonic."
"Heh heh heh! But this little vixen of yours is truly quite good-looking!"
Daoist Long laughed wildly, a pair of big hands reaching out to grab Mo Lingwei.
Mo Lingwei never expected that the other party would have such an attitude, and her face instantly lost color.
But just as she was about to resist,
a sense of dizziness suddenly came from her mind. Her eyes went dark, and she collapsed limply to the ground, losing consciousness.
Qin Ming used the same method to knock Old Mo, who was not far away, unconscious, and gave him a Healing Elixir.
Old Mo had suffered a blow from the Nether Abyss Demon, damaging his foundation and almost losing more than half of his life. Even if he recovered, his Immortal Path would also stop here.
For Qin Ming, Mo Lingwei and the others could also be considered old acquaintances from the same land, and he would not take their lives.
Having done all this, Qin Ming also grabbed the Black Iron Corpse embedded in the Rock Wall.
As soon as this fiend regained mobility, it bared its fangs and brandished its claws to attack Qin Ming, but he smashed its head with a slap, and it completely died.
Immediately after, Qin Ming also collected the Demon Zombie's corpse.
"This Demon Zombie is also good Material for planting trees!"
Next.
Qin Ming carefully searched the Demonic Cave once, collecting many Ghostly Creatures remains, enough to plant Abundant Gloom Ghost Dates.
He turned around everywhere, but found no further discoveries.
"Presumably, the most valuable thing in this Demonic Cave is that black iron piece."
"Now that the Material is in hand, it's time to leave."
Qin Ming returned along the original path, not forgetting to glance at Mo Lingwei on the ground before leaving, "Fellow Daoist Mo, take care, goodbye if fate allows."
But just as he was about to leave,
he caught sight of, in the corner of his eye, the Heavenly Corpse Pearl on Mo Lingwei's hand actually reacting, emitting a faint gray light.
Qin Ming frowned, raised his hand and took the Heavenly Corpse Pearl into his hand.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Corpse Pearl in his hand seemed to be guided by something in the dark.
"This is…"
Immediately, he followed this guidance and came to a Rock Wall in the depths of the Demonic Cave.
Qin Ming immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate, but discovered that there was an inconspicuous groove on the Rock Wall, just enough to put in that Heavenly Corpse Pearl.
He hesitated and pondered for a moment, then asked the Devouring Heaven Rat beside him, "Have you smelled a dangerous Aura?"
"Uh, probably not?" The Devouring Heaven Rat sniffed hard with its nose, answering uncertainly.
Qin Ming's face twitched, "What do you mean 'probably not'? Are you really up to it?"
"Ehehehe! The Restriction isolating it here is too powerful, I can't see through it either." The Devouring Heaven Rat told the truth.
Qin Ming couldn't help but start to ponder upon hearing this.
Even the Mystical Power of a Tier 3 Demon King, the Devouring Heaven Rat, could not sense the situation inside, which made him hesitate somewhat.
But now his strength is not what it used to be, and even if he encountered danger, he could also protect himself.
"Hidden so well, I also don't know what exactly is hidden inside."
And so, Qin Ming embedded the Heavenly Corpse Pearl in his hand into the Rock Wall.
Rumble rumble rumble! Only to see, on the black Rock Wall in front of him, shone with mysterious Runes.
The Entrance to a Stone Chamber appeared before Qin Ming's eyes.
Qin Ming took out the Azure Luan Sword, released his Divine Sense to investigate inside.
After seeing the situation inside clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately he called out to the Devouring Heaven Rat, and together they stepped inside.
Behind the stone door was a circular Stone Chamber of several hundred square meters. Many mysterious and obscure Runes were inscribed on the Stone Walls.
Even more, dozens of arm-thick black chains were connected to a Stone Platform in the center.
"It seems this is where the Third-Order Blood Curse Demon Vine was sealed back then."
Qin Ming could still recognize some of the words on the wall. He usually collected quite a few Spirit Plant Books and had also studied many uncommon words.
He released his Divine Sense to scan around once and, after confirming there was no danger inside, immediately relaxed.
After the Blood Curse Demon Vine was exterminated, this place had obviously become an Open Ground.
Suddenly, a corner of the Stone Chamber attracted Qin Ming's attention.
He immediately walked over and looked, but was surprised to find that there were six Demon Seeds of the Blood Curse Demon Vine quietly rooted in the Rock Wall.
Only, these Demon Seeds had already all withered and died.
On the ground near the Demon Seeds, there was also a Remains sitting withered.
Observing the clothing on these Remains, Qin Ming felt quite familiar. Suddenly, a Spirit Light flashed in his mind! "Isn't this Zhao Family's False Core Ancestor 'Zhao Wuyang'?"
"Never expected this person to go around in a circle and actually return to Thousand Leaf Island again, can also be considered returning home in spirit."
Seeing that Zhao Wuyang's Remains' skull had a large hole broken open in it, he also guessed the general reason.
"It should be that Blood Curse Demon Vine back then, after finding a Tier 3 Howling Moon Demon King to parasitize, abandoned Zhao Wuyang's Body."
"Tragic end, reduced to nourishment for these Demon Seeds."
"Fortunately, the Three True Persons acted in time. Never expected the Blood Curse Demon Vine had already given birth to Demon Seeds. If these Demon Seeds were given enough Blood Food to grow up,"
"I'm afraid the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World would no longer exist…"
Qin Ming immediately swept with his Divine Sense, and a Storage Bag floated out from Zhao Wuyang's Remains.
His face immediately showed joy, and he said excitedly, "Struck it rich, False Core Ancestor's Storage Bag!"
"Struck it rich! Congratulations, Master!" The Devouring Heaven Rat also flattered appropriately from the side.
Qin Ming immediately opened the Storage Bag to take a look, but his face suddenly stiffened.
Because inside Zhao Wuyang's Storage Bag, it was not as rich as he imagined, with only a few items.
Besides the few Upper-Grade Spirit Weapons he often used, only some miscellaneous items were left.
It should be that Zhao Family Old Ancestor, knowing he couldn't survive back then, secretly transferred all the Resources out.
After rummaging through it once, Qin Ming's attention was attracted by a few bottles and jars.
