Chapter 402 Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint
Qin Ming withdrew his gaze from the window.
Immediately, he turned towards the voice, his eyes landing on the person before him.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. But at first glance, Qin Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.
A wave surged in his heart, and he was secretly astonished.
'Fourth Rank Transformation Great Demon'! Although the Black Feather Cultivator had disguised his aura to be extremely realistic and skillful, like an ordinary Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine. Even the Golden Core Elder with the highest Cultivation in Five Elements Mountain Market might not be able to detect anything unusual.
However, Qin Ming possessed Divine Sense comparable to the Early Nascent Soul Stage, and also had Law Breaking Double Pupils.
A few days ago, when he cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art to Golden Core Stage Perfection, he also absorbed the Mystical Power of the Crimson-Eyed Heavenly Lin, enhancing his Pupil Technique Divine Power by more than double.
No matter how clever the disguise Ability, it was useless in front of him.
Therefore, Qin Ming saw through the other party's disguise at a glance.
In Qin Ming's eyes, the other party's true face was revealed:
The Demon Cultivator man in black feather robes standing opposite him had a pair of unusually small, emerald green pupils, and a horny beak-like nose.
He should be a Demon Cultivator of the avian type.
He was a genuine Early Fourth-Order Demon Saint!
However, the Aura of this Black Feather Demon Cultivator in front of him felt weaker than Moon Spirit Yan.
'Fourth Rank Transformation Great Demon... Could this person be the Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint of the Wind Splitting Eagle Clan?'
'How did even he come to Five Elements Mountain Market?'
'I heard Moon Spirit Yan mention that this person is ambitious and greatly interested in the Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm.'
'Could there be some conspiracy?'
Qin Ming's thoughts raced. Combining some of the other party's characteristics, he had roughly guessed the Black Feather Demon Cultivator's origin.
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator probably didn't expect it either.
He had just casually entered a Restaurant, and in a short while, someone had seen through his Status.
If it were said out loud, he would probably be ridiculed by his clan.
Although Qin Ming had seen through the other party's origin, on the surface, his Expression remained normal and calm.
He responded calmly to the Black Feather Demon Cultivator, "There's no one here, Fellow Taoist please help yourself."
"Heh heh! Thank you, Fellow Taoist."
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and sat down directly and casually opposite Qin Ming.
Then, without ordering food, he brazenly asked Qin Ming, "Fellow Taoist, do you mind if I ask for a cup of Spirit Wine?"
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator looked at Qin Ming with a smile.
Qin Ming immediately nodded and poured him a cup of Spirit Wine.
'This Demon Beast risked coming to Five Elements Mountain Market, could it be that he is also here for the Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm?'
'As expected, in the face of a great Fated Chance, few people can sit still, and even Fourth Order Demon Saints cannot avoid it.'
'Of course, except for me...'
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator took the Spirit Wine, and without saying a word, began to taste it on his own.
The two poured and drank, without much conversation.
Half an hour passed, and two pots of wine were already finished.
"Hmm, this Spirit Wine is ultimately a bit lacking, it doesn't taste like much when you drink it."
"Thank you, Fellow Taoist, for the wine."
"May I ask your esteemed surname? If there is a chance another day, I will treat Fellow Taoist to a Spirit Wine I brewed myself."
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator said with a smile on his lips, even though he had just drunk a whole pot of Azure Wave Wine, he showed no signs of intoxication.
You should know that this Azure Wave Wine is Second Tier Spirit Wine from Wind Riding Pavilion. Not to mention Early Foundation Establishment Stage, even Late Foundation Establishment Stage would get drunk if they drank too much.
Qin Ming replied calmly, "My surname is Lu. We are just chance acquaintances. It's just a simple drink, Fellow Taoist, you don't need to be polite."
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator heard this, seemed to become somewhat interested in Qin Ming. His small pupils narrowed, and he sized him up incessantly.
But he didn't see anything unusual at all.
Immediately, he smiled faintly, "Fellow Taoist Lu is indeed an interesting person. It seems you also like to be unconventional?"
"It has been a long time since I have interacted with a Fellow Taoist as straightforward as you. It's truly quite rare!"
Qin Ming did not directly answer the other party's question, but instead asked, "May I ask your esteemed surname? You don't seem to be a local?"
Hearing Qin Ming ask this, the Black Feather Demon Cultivator was also taken aback for a moment. Then he said with a smile:
"That's right, I am Mo Yu. In my early years, I was always in seclusion in the mountains for Cultivation."
"This time I came out to broaden my horizons and gain some experience..."
"I see." Qin Ming nodded, then fell silent.
With his current Strength, even if he faced Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators or Early Fourth Order Demon Saints, he would not be afraid.
Therefore, he did not show any fear.
Initially.
Qin Ming had initially thought that the other party was coming for him, but after a long while, it turned out that the other party had just happened to encounter him.
Although he didn't understand what the Black Feather Demon Cultivator wanted to do, he had guessed that it was most likely for the Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm.
Qin Ming didn't want to get involved with him and cause unnecessary trouble.
Feeling that the time was about right, he stood up and bid him farewell, "Mo Fellow Taoist, you continue drinking. I have something to attend to and must take my leave."
"I have already paid for the wine."
"Then thank you, Fellow Taoist Lu, for treating Mo to Spirit Wine, no need to see you off." The Black Feather Demon Cultivator showed no intention of getting up.
Qin Ming ignored him and went straight downstairs.
After he left, the Black Feather Demon Cultivator listened to the lively shouts. In his narrow eyes, a trace of mockery appeared, "In a short while, the prosperity here will also come to an end..."
"At that time, I can properly Harvest a batch of Material."
"Wine brewed with Cultivator Golden Core is still the best..."
…
Night fell, and the bright moon hung high.
Qin Ming did not return to Mirror Snow Pavilion. Instead, with a furrowed brow, he went straight to Hua Tianxiong's Courtyard.
'A Fourth Rank Transformation Great Demon coming here is not a good sign. It seems I need to prepare to slip away early.'
'I had heard Moon Spirit Yan say before that the Great Dark Heaven Demon Saint of the Wind-Rending Eagle Clan is extremely warlike, and wants nothing more than to kill the Human Race.'
If Qin Ming hadn't learned about it beforehand, he would have also been deceived by the Black Feather Demon Cultivator's amiable temperament just now.
'These Old Guys are indeed more insidious and cunning than the last.'
'Cannot easily trust them.'
Hua Tianxiong saw Qin Ming arrive and quickly welcomed him into the Main Hall, brewing a pot of fine Spirit Tea.
"Master, you have come."
"Mm."
After Qin Ming sat down, he began to learn about the Situation from him.
The Information he obtained from him was not much different from what Han Yuan had said.
Qin Ming pondered for a while, feeling that the Black Feather Demon Cultivator's actions were too strange. If he let it go unchecked.
It might cause a threat or disaster to the Human Race. Especially if this kind of Demon Beast were to start a massacre here, it would also affect his Spirit Field and Mirror Snow Pavilion.
So he decided to report it to the Dao Protector Alliance through Hua Tianxiong. At that time, a Nascent Soul True Monarch would naturally come out to deal with it.
He wouldn't need to take risks himself.
Immediately, Qin Ming put down the Tea cup in his hand and said to Hua Tianxiong with a solemn Expression, "Hua Tianxiong, there is something I want you to do."
"I just discovered in the Market that a Humanoid Great Demon of the Demon Clan has infiltrated. This matter is extremely important and concerns the life and death of the Market."
"Ah?! Humanoid Demon Saint?" Hua Tianxiong was so frightened that he spat out a mouthful of Tea, and his whole person froze on the spot.
"This, this... Master, then what should I do?"
Immediately, he thought of something, "Could it be that this Great Demon is also here for the Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm?" "Probably so. You just need to secretly reveal this matter to Fire Palace. This matter is no small matter, you don't need to worry about anything else." Qin Ming said calmly.
"You should also prepare to evacuate Five Elements Mountain Market. This place can no longer be stayed in."
"Yes, I respectfully obey Master's orders!"
…
Several days later, the Dao Protector Alliance Cultivators in Five Elements Mountain Market suddenly increased, giving off an air of facing a great enemy.
The Loose Cultivators coming and going in the Market didn't know what was happening?
Qin Ming could feel that there were even two powerful Auras secretly descending Within the Market.
It's just that they hadn't shown themselves.
It was most likely the Dao Protector Alliance, which had sent Nascent Soul True Monarch to deal with the Humanoid Demon Saint.
But several days passed in a row, and nothing happened. Peace returned Within the Market.
Qin Ming sat in Mirror Snow Pavilion, secretly pondering.
"Shouldn't be like this? Could it be that the Demon Cultivator escaped?"
On the other side, in the Beast Cry Mountain Range.
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator man transformed into a black light and flew at high speed, occasionally looking back.
"Damn it, where exactly did I reveal a flaw?"
"How could my Status be exposed? Those two Human Race Old Guys must have gotten News."
"But the purpose of this trip has been achieved, it's not a big deal."
"I'll play with those two Old Guys properly later."
The Black Feather Demon Cultivator's emerald green pupils turned incessantly, and he accelerated his body, instantly disappearing into the Horizon.
…
In Mirror Snow Pavilion of Five Elements Mountain Market.
Old Jia was beaming with success, holding an Account Book in his hand and reporting his work to Qin Ming.
"Hehehe, Shopkeeper Lu is indeed as expected, able to predict things like a god!"
"This Sky Net Powder has been sold out in Market Sales within just half a month. The price has more than doubled several times."
"Here are all the accounts, please take a look."
Qin Ming took the Account Book and casually flipped through it, nodding slightly.
Then, Old Jia handed over all the Spirit Stone to Qin Ming for disposal.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Lu, besides that, I am already looking for a successor to take over the 200 mu of Spirit Field in Five Elements Mountain."
"However, after successively negotiating with several Forces, they seem to have also seen that the Situation in Five Elements Mountain Market is currently turbulent, fearing it will affect the Spirit Field, so the bids are not too high."
"If we are in a hurry to sell, we can only transfer it at a low price."
Qin Ming pondered slightly, then shook his head.
"Rest Assured, someone will offer a high price."
"Moreover, the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice planted by Li Lan is not yet ripe. It will probably take some time, so let's wait a bit longer."
"I will notify you when the time comes."
"The matters here are settled. The Shop in Five Elements Mountain Market can also be closed."
"You should be ready to evacuate with people at any time."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Lu."
Old Jia is now completely obedient and devoted to Qin Ming's words.
After all, 'Shopkeeper Lu' is even able to build Connections with Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Naturally, he can grasp some extremely reliable Upper Levels News in advance.
He just needs to do as he's told.
"By the way, you've been busy for a while. These Spirit Stone inside are a reward for you." Qin Ming threw a bag of Spirit Stone to Old Jia. "You can handle those Spirit Farmer as you see fit."
Old Jia accepted the reward, his Expression excited as he said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Lu!"
Then he went to Handle Matters.
After Old Jia left, Qin Ming also left Five Elements Mountain Market.
But just as he was returning to the Spirit Field, he received urgent News from Hua Tianxiong through Black Talisman.
"Master, something bad is going to happen!"
"I just heard from Elder Qian that Divine Path Mountain and Yin Demon Sect have been preparing to hold some kind of ritual recently to make the Seven Wonders Treasure Tree Blooming early."
"Fire Palace received this Information and is already on high alert. It is estimated that they also want to join in the fun this time to lock down the Secret Realm's Position."
"After all, the Mountain Gate Secret Realm of the number one Great Sect in the Ancient Human Realm is too tempting."
"If Loose Cultivators outside find out, it is estimated that it will be even more chaotic."
After listening to this, Qin Ming couldn't help but furrow his brows.
He didn't expect that the day Yin Demon Sect chose would come so quickly.
"Hua Tianxiong, you have done well. Continue to investigate and report back."
"Thank you for your praise, Master!" Hua Tianxiong said happily, then remembered something else, "By the way, Master, there is already some News about the last few Spirit Material you asked me to collect, but the Position of these Spirit Material are relatively scattered."
"I will have my subordinates collect and hand them over to you as soon as possible."
"Very good, go do your business." Qin Ming replied.
…
After listening to Hua Tianxiong's report.
Qin Ming was a little uneasy, and immediately summoned the Devouring Heaven Rat.
The Devouring Heaven Rat scurried up to Qin Ming's shoulder and said with a grin, "Master, what do you need me for?"
"My Strength has greatly increased now. I am full of inexhaustible energy and can Battle for you in this life."
"Let me put it this way, the Azure-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon that rode on my head back then, I can now easily handle it, it's almost like dealing with a loach, ehehehe!"
"Alright, still Azure-Faced Poisonous Flood Dragon.. That's ancient history from many years ago. Its Demon Core was taken by me to brew Spirit Wine."
"You still remember it, you're so vengeful?" Qin Ming turned his head and said to the Devouring Heaven Rat.
"Let's not talk about this."
"I got Information that something might happen under the Five Elements Mountain Spirit Vein recently. Those Demonic Cultivators are probably going to hold some kind of ritual again."
"Go and keep an eye on it for me, see what tricks they are playing, and notify me when the ritual begins."
"The matter of the Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm has been exposed. It might be chaotic below, and even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators might be watching. Be careful yourself."
Qin Ming instructed.
The Devouring Heaven Rat patted his chest and said, "Master, Rest Assured. Since I advanced to the Peak Stage of Tier 3, not only has my Strength greatly increased, but my Mystical Power has also made significant progress Breakthrough."
"Now, when I use the Void Walking Escape Technique, even Mid Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators cannot detect me."
"It's just a small matter."
"That would naturally be best. Go then."
"Hehe! Master, you wait for my News."
Immediately, the Devouring Heaven Rat jumped off Qin Ming's shoulder, transformed into a black ray of light In the Air, and disappeared.
After Qin Ming returned to the Spirit Field, he resumed his normal Cultivation.
Only three days later.
The Devouring Heaven Rat ran back and reported the Situation to Qin Ming, "Master, those people are going to hold their Spirit Sacrificing Ritual. The time is today at Hai hour."
"Oh? So fast. Take me to see." Qin Ming said.
Immediately, the man and rat followed the Underground Passage dug out by the Devouring Heaven Rat and arrived near the Secret Realm Entrance.
Seeing the dim Underground World, a huge Altar had already been erected.
