Chapter 292 Demonic Shadow Surge
The Thunder Origin Sect's Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship was traveling at an extreme speed across the horizon.
The person responsible for escorting this shipment of resources was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Elder of the Thunder Origin Sect named Elder Shen He Zhou.
Elder Shen He Zhou had a bald head, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness. He wore a blue and gold Dharma Robe and was on the plump side.
This errand he was running was the most lucrative in the Thunder Origin Sect. Just by casually stuffing some things and people onto the ship, he could become filthy rich.
Therefore, even if they offered him the Sect Master's position, he wouldn't trade it.
Moreover, on this entire ship, his word was law. It could be said that his power was immense, and abusing his power was simply too comfortable.
The Thunder Origin Sect's Magic Ship sailed within the Wei Kingdom's borders, and no one dared to even think of targeting it.
Elder Shen He Zhou had been in this position for decades, unshakeable as thunder.
"Elder Shen!"
"Greetings, Elder Shen!"
The disciples under the Thunder Origin Sect all bowed respectfully to him when they saw Elder Shen He Zhou.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Elder Shen He Zhou leisurely strolled out of the Ship Cabin and walked towards the Pavilion above.
"This Fellow Daoist, who is staying in the Pavilion above?"
"Why is Elder Shen… so concerned about that place?" In the Ship Cabin, a thin middle-aged man asked the Thunder Origin Sect disciple on duty.
"This… we don't know either. We wouldn't dare to casually inquire about the Elder's affairs."
"…"
A moment later.
Elder Shen He Zhou arrived outside the luxurious Private Room door on the Upper Levels Pavilion, cleared his throat, and carefully said:
"True Person Qin, the Magic Ship will arrive at the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness in three more days."
"Next, we will pass through a section of Miasma Abyss. There will be some turbulence at that time, so I am informing you in advance."
"Mm, I understand. You may carry on with your duties."
True Person Qin's faint voice came from the Room Interior.
"Yes! True Person Qin, if you need anything, please feel free to call upon me at any time!"
Elder Shen He Zhou finished speaking, respectfully bowed towards the Room Interior, and then tiptoed away.
Qin Ming slowly opened his dark eyes, "More than a month, finally arriving?"
Just as he was about to walk to the window to get some fresh air.
Rumble! The Thunder Origin Sect's thousand zhang sized Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship suddenly shook violently a few times, as if it had collided with some enormous object, and instantly came to a halt.
Qin Ming immediately released his Divine Sense to scan.
He saw that in the impenetrable misty miasma, three enormous pitch-black Magical Warships, in a triangular formation, had surrounded the Thunder Origin Sect's Dharma Boat.
The Thunder Origin Sect escort Cultivators, upon seeing this, immediately activated their Magic Power Shield and came to the Deck. They saw dozens of pitch-black chains shooting towards the Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship from the three black ships opposite them.
The Defensive Formation was activated, and a Blue Light Barrier rose from all around the Thunder Origin Sect's Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship, forming a spherical blue Barrier.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The pitch-black chains struck the Magic Ship's Formation, sparking a burst of electric arcs.
Immediately following.
The Thunder Origin Sect's Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship began to shake violently.
Fortunately, the pitch-black chains failed to Breakthrough the Defense.
"Enemy attack!!"
In an instant, alarm bells rang throughout the Magic Ship. No one could have imagined that someone would actually dare to target the Thunder Origin Sect's Magic Ship.
Elder Shen He Zhou, as the Elder in charge of the Thunder Origin Sect, led four or five Foundation Establishment Cultivators and flew out with solemn expressions.
As soon as he arrived outside, he saw a blood-colored stream of light streak across the Sky and land on the Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship's defensive shield.
In an instant, the indestructible defensive shield seemed to ignite and was instantly blasted open with a large hole.
"Second Grade Top-Quality Restriction Breaking Talisman!"
Elder Shen He Zhou was both shocked and furious, his expression so gloomy it was practically dripping water.
"Hahahaha! The big fish of the Thunder Origin Sect, we finally caught you!"
They saw a flash of black light on the opposite side, and five figures with powerful Magical Power Aura appeared on the bow of the ship opposite them. All of them were Demonic Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Among them, the three leading figures had even reached Perfected Foundation Establishment.
"Yin Rong of the Prime Devil Sect!"
"Blood Fiend Old Monster of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley!"
"Ghost Fire Free Person of the Fire Worshipping Sect!"
Elder Shen He Zhou immediately recognized the people opposite him, and his expression drastically changed.
"How could you possibly know the route of our Sect's Magic Ship?"
"No! There must be a spy on board!"
At this moment, Elder Shen He Zhou almost didn't need to think to know what was going on.
The other party was clearly prepared and had a full three Perfected Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.
Right now, the Thunder Origin Sect Magic Ship's defensive shield had also been broken, and the Situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
However, when Elder Shen He Zhou thought of that existence on his ship, he immediately calmed down slightly.
The sinister-faced man named Yin Rong didn't give the Thunder Origin Sect any time to react at all.
A Ghost Net Banner appeared in his hand, and he swept it across the Thunder Origin Sect's Magic Ship.
Instantly, countless Ghostly Creatures wailed and flew out, emitting a fierce Aura, pouncing towards everyone on the ship.
Elder Shen He Zhou hurriedly performed Magic Art, summoning a Crimson Spirit Sword to fight the enemy.
However, the Cultivation gap was there, and what's more, there were two Perfected Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators eyeing him covetously from the side.
Soon, he was unable to withstand the Nether Soul's tearing attacks.
"Senior Adept Qin! Save me!"
In desperation, Elder Shen He Zhou couldn't care about Prestige anymore, and he let out a loud cry.
"Hehehehe! Shen, you can scream your throat raw, but it's useless,"
"Prepare to die!"
Yin Rong of the Prime Devil Sect performed Hand Seals, and a Late Tier 2 Ghostly Creature flew out, transforming into a giant white skull, and smashed fiercely towards Elder Shen He Zhou. The other Thunder Origin Sect escort Foundation Establishment Cultivators were also engaged in battle with the other Demonic Cultivators.
"Brothers! Take down the Thunder Origin Sect Magic Ship, and we'll be rich!"
The Thunder Origin Sect side was being repeatedly defeated, and hundreds upon thousands of Cultivators climbed over along the pitch-black chains.
"Hahahaha! My Ghostly Creatures are just lacking a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Soul!"
Just as Yin Rong of the Prime Devil Sect's gaunt hands were about to take Elder Shen He Zhou's head.
Boom! Suddenly! His pupils suddenly constricted! Then, his entire body's breathing hitched, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped his throat, and he could no longer make any sound.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
"Ugh, ugh…"
Bang! The next moment, Yin Rong revealed a look of horror.
In the Void Space, the invisible giant hand suddenly exerted force and clenched.
Yin Rong instantly exploded into a cloud of Blood Mist.
Then, several Black Vines abruptly crawled out, absorbing all of this Blood Qi, transforming it into a Blood Pearl.
The Blood Fiend Old Monster of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley and the Ghost Fire Free Person of the Fire Worshipping Sect let out exclamations of surprise and strange cries when they saw this scene, "Divine Sense Manifestation!"
"Something's changed! Retreat quickly! There's a Golden Core Ancestor on board!"
But when they wanted to escape, it was clearly already too late. Countless Black Vines appeared from the Void Space.
As if they were growing wildly in the air, they entangled the two of them.
The Blood Fiend Old Monster's eyes were filled with panic. He hurriedly took out a Top Grade Second Tier Fire Talisman and burned it against the Black Vines.
But to his despair, the Black Vines were impervious to fire and water, and they didn't even make a ripple.
Gradually, the screams of the few people became smaller and smaller. In just an instant, they, like Yin Rong, turned into Blood Pearls.
However, the Blood Fiend Old Monster was stunned. He didn't understand why he hadn't died immediately. He looked at the tragic state of the people around him, and his heart was filled with terror.
Where had the Demonic Cultivators seen such strange and terrifying methods? They all wanted to flee.
But at this moment, a dark cloud gathered in the Sky, and it actually began to rain a Nether Chill Rain, bone-chillingly cold.
"Ah!"
As the Nether Chill Rain fell, those Low Rank Demonic Cultivators fell in droves like harvested wheat, entangled by Black Vines, sucked dry, and turned into Blood Pearls one by one.
Elder Shen He Zhou and the others had just narrowly escaped death and hadn't even had time to catch their breath. Seeing this bizarre scene, their scalps also went numb.
Then, they saw space distort for a moment, and Qin Ming's figure emerged.
A mountain-like Spiritual Pressure descended. Those Demonic Cultivators on the Magic Ship only then recovered their senses, and they were all so intimidated that they knelt on the ground, without any power to resist.
Qin Ming walked expressionlessly to the Blood Fiend Old Monster of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley and began to perform the Soul Searching Technique.
"Se-Senior, spare me!"
"No! Ah, ah, ah!"
"…"
After the Blood Fiend Old Monster's agonizing screams, Qin Ming furrowed his brow slightly.
Then, his Divine Sense unfolded, instantly enveloping the entire Magic Ship.
Five or six passengers on the Thunder Origin Sect Abyss Crossing Dharma Ship were grabbed out by Qin Ming's Divine Sense and thrown onto the Deck.
Among them was a thin middle-aged Cultivator.
Elder Shen He Zhou understood what was going on in an instant when he saw these people before him.
But his Expression turned ashen, and his heart instantly sank to the Valley Floor.
Because these few Cultivators were all people who had bought Cabin Tickets from him and were secretly let in by him.
"Thank you, Senior Adept Qin, for your life-saving grace!" The other Elders of the Thunder Origin Sect first thanked Qin Ming very gratefully.
The Cultivators on the Thunder Origin Sect Magic Boat all saw True Person Qin's heaven-shattering, earth-shattering methods and were all immersed in deep shock and awe.
Once the Golden Core True Person made a move, it was almost an overwhelming Situation.
Then, the other Elders of the Thunder Origin Sect questioned Elder Shen He Zhou with faces full of anger:
"Elder Shen, tell us, what exactly is going on?!"
"Negligence of duty! Almost ruined everything!"
"If it weren't for Senior Adept Qin, we would all have been buried in the hands of the Demonic Path today!"
"After arriving at the Residence, this old man will definitely report to the Sect!"
The other ship-escorting Elders of the Thunder Origin Sect also saw some clues and were very impolite to him.
Elder Shen He Zhou was speechless, filled with endless regret.
Room Interior.
Qin Ming put the Blood Pearl into his Storage Bag.
Just now, he had obtained some Intelligence Information from that Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Souls Valley again.
First of all, the Jin Kingdom had been secretly controlled by the Demonic Path and was infiltrating towards the other three kingdoms.
Secondly, the Six Demonic Path Sects seemed to have some major action, preparing to start targeting the three kingdoms and several Great Sect Immortal Cities.
"The Six Demonic Path Sects failed in their scheme to use tigers to devour wolves, and it looks like they are personally entering the stage."
…
Three days later.
Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness.
The Thunder Origin Sect's Magic Ship smoothly arrived at a prosperous Immortal City.
This Immortal City was the "Cloud Marsh Immortal City" that the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley had initially prepared to build together.
The two Great Sects of the Wei Kingdom were utterly defeated in the final battle and completely disappeared into the long river of history. Now, however, the Thunder Origin Sect had benefited for nothing.
Qin Ming was not interested in the Thunder Origin Sect's affairs and said a word to Elder Shen He Zhou and the others.
Then, he headed straight for that Tier 3 Spirit Vein.
