Chapter 284: Calling on Someone
"Realm crushing is so refreshing!"
Mid-Air, the figure of Qin Ming emerged, flicking his sleeves to stop.
He had just used Divine Sense Power, Divine Sense comparable to the Late Golden Core Stage, and instantly crushed and killed that Pseudo-Core of the Jin Kingdom.
This gap in strength due to Realms is simply on a different level entirely.
The two leading Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators of the Jin Kingdom, seeing this scene, were already scared out of their wits.
Without even turning their heads, the two wanted to fly away and flee for their lives.
But when they were just about to escape, they were shocked to discover that their bodies were imprisoned by a formless power, completely out of their control, unable to move even an inch.
"This Senior!"
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Please spare our lives!"
Qin Ming came in front of the two people, ignored their voices of begging for mercy, then spread his five fingers open, grabbed the heads of the two, and on the spot began to perform the Soul Searching Technique.
"Ahhh!"
Miserable and shrill screams continuously rang out, causing everyone to feel chills down their spines, their scalps going numb.
Only after a short moment.
A dignified Late Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator was tormented beyond recognition, losing control of their bowels and bladder, their eyes vacant, their faces terrified as they looked upwards.
Qin Ming's expression was indifferent, having already obtained the information he wanted, then he used the Thorn Technique, turning the two people into two Blood Beads.
In less than half a cup of tea's time.
The three Cultivators who were just now clamoring to flatten Tianying Ravine, instantly turned into three Dried Corpses.
"Run quickly!"
"A Golden Core Ancestor is here!"
"Too terrifying! Simply even more cruel than the Demonic Path!"
"Run! We are absolutely no match for them!"
"Quickly turn around!!"
...
Seeing this, the Cultivators on dozens of Magic Ships from the Jin Kingdom immediately scattered like startled birds and beasts.
Qin Ming glanced at the Magic Ships; they were all Low-Rank Cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage. He had no interest in chasing after them.
"Greetings, Perfected Person Wangyue!"
Li Yuanqing, seeing Qin Ming arrive and annihilate those three Jin Kingdom Cultivators with swift and decisive methods, was greatly shaken.
He hadn't even seen True Person Qin act when that Pseudo-Core Stage Old Devil He instantly vanished into thin air.
Moreover, True Person Qin performed Soul Searching publicly. Even Li Yuanqing shivered, a chill running through him. 'Golden Core Great Expert, terrifying indeed!'
He hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward and gave a deep bow.
"Hmm, no need for formalities, Fellow Daoist Li."
Qin Ming said casually, "This Seat was originally going to ask you about something, but it's no longer necessary."
He's looking for me? Li Yuanqing was confused, but then, connecting it with True Person Qin's actions just now, he suddenly realized something.
This renowned Perfected Person Wangyue from Spirit Dwelling Islands is likely targeting the Jin Kingdom Soaring Cloud Sect.
"Senior Adept Qin, is there a place where my Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance can be of service?" Li Yuanqing asked humbly.
Qin Ming smiled calmly and said, "No need. However, Alliance Leader Li, you've spared no effort for the Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World; I deeply admire that."
Thinking back to when Qin Ming first arrived at Spirit Dwelling Islands, Li Yuanqing was still just the Deputy Alliance Leader.
Later, however, Spirit Dwelling Islands faced several major crises, and Alliance Lord Huo Qianqiu was killed in action.
In that critical moment, Li Yuanqing was ordered to take over, inheriting the mantle of Alliance Lord. He resisted the Beast Tide, even forcibly raising his Cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage at the cost of developing a hidden illness. He was indeed a responsible Cultivator.
Furthermore, during the Beast Tide, Li Yuanqing commissioned Qin Ming to refine many life-saving Healing Pills, leading to numerous trades between them.
"Here are two Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peaches for you, Alliance Leader Li." Qin Ming handed him a Jade Box.
With these two Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peaches to extend his life, Li Yuanqing can live for at least a few more decades.
Lifespan is what he needs most now; other Miraculous Spirit Pills are no longer effective.
Now, in the entire Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World, Golden Core True Person Qin Ming has the final say.
If he wanted, he could even bring the entire archipelago under his control, and no one would dare to object.
But Qin Ming had no such inclination. Alliance Leader Li managed the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance and all its powers, big and small, quite well.
With Li Yuanqing continuing to manage things, Qin Ming could rest easy.
"Ah, thank you for the Gift, True Person!" Li Yuanqing was truly surprised and deeply moved. It seemed his past friendship with Qin Ming had been worthwhile.
"By the way, True Person Qin, are you going to find the Soaring Cloud Sect this time?" Li Yuanqing hesitated for a moment and asked.
Qin Ming nodded, not bothering to hide it, and said directly, "That's right."
"I heard the Jin Kingdom's Soaring Cloud Sect is leading a full-scale invasion this time, bringing all their forces, big and small. Their two Golden Core Ancestors are even here. Senior Adept Qin, please be careful." Li Yuanqing kindly reminded him.
Qin Ming said calmly, "Hmm, This Seat knows what I'm doing."
Right after a brief conversation, Qin Ming transformed into a Stream of Light and vanished into the Horizon.
"Alliance Leader, that was truly close just now…"
"If Senior Adept Qin had not arrived in time, I'm afraid the outcome would have been unpredictable."
That old woman said to Li Yuanqing with lingering fear.
Li Yuanqing, looking towards the direction Qin had departed, sighed deeply.
He still couldn't believe Qin Ming had grown so powerful.
Now their positions were reversed. Even Li Yuanqing himself had to be extremely respectful and cautious when facing Qin Ming.
"Looks like True Person Qin is going to act. I wonder if he can quell the Foreign Enemy."
...
Within the Wei Kingdom, in the Southwestern Border Region, near the border between the two kingdoms.
Inside an Immortal City occupied by the Soaring Cloud Sect.
The arrogant Duanmu Sheng was in conversation with Old Devil Yu in the Command Post of the City Lord Residence.
Old Devil Yu lightly tapped the table and said calmly:
"Old Devil He from Fire Phosphorus Mountain is leading his subordinates from Tianying Ravine to seize Spirit Dwelling Islands."
"By now, they should have engaged the Wei Kingdom Cultivators garrisoned there, right?"
Duanmu Sheng scoffed, "Hmph! Just a bunch of Low Rank insignificant beings. If Old Devil He can't handle them with his Pseudo-Core Cultivation, he's utterly useless."
"But… what do we do with Spirit Dwelling Islands after we take it? I heard that young Qin from Moon Gazing Island even received congratulations from an envoy of the Fire Palace."
"I'm afraid that kid is more capable than he seems."
"If we attack Spirit Dwelling Islands, will it provoke an extreme reaction from him?" Old Devil Yu analyzed with some concern.
Hearing this, Duanmu Sheng's jealousy flared. His eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a low voice, "That cowardly turtle only knows how to cower on the island and never come out."
"This Seat was just worried he wouldn't come out! Now's the perfect time to test my newly refined Tier 3 Mid Grade Magic Treasure."
Old Devil Yu was just about to say something more.
Just then.
Suddenly! A faint voice echoed above them, "Who are you calling a coward?"
Inside the hall, the two Old Ancestors of the Soaring Cloud Sect instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy!
Neither Duanmu Sheng nor Old Devil Yu had noticed anything. A Golden Core Cultivator had somehow reached this place without them realizing.
Anyone capable of that is no ordinary person.
The two transformed into Streams of Light, instantly bursting through the rooftop and arriving in the sky above.
In the night sky, they saw a plain-looking young man standing in mid-air, staring expressionlessly at them.
As if he were looking at two dead men.
"Qin Ming!"
Duanmu Sheng recognized Qin Ming at a glance, and yelled sternly.
Duanmu Sheng released his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, but found that Qin Ming was alone. Wei Wuyai was nowhere to be seen.
"Who was just calling This Seat a coward?"
Boom! A mountain-collapsing, tsunami-like Spiritual Pressure surged downwards.
The Jin Kingdom Cultivators within the Immortal City naturally noticed the commotion at the City Lord Residence.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Patrolling Cultivators immediately raised the alarm. The atmosphere tensed as countless Cultivators converged on their location.
