Chapter 818 - 640: Returning Again, Revealing Power
Inside Qianji City.
Everyone naturally didn’t know what had happened, they just felt that the Sacred Land of the Netherworld Sect had returned to normal after the end of the Void Refining Tribulation.
The people of the Mist Concealment Loose Alliance, who were previously fleeing in panic, all stopped simultaneously.
Vice Alliance Leader Zuo opened a communication talisman in his hand, showing a peculiar expression, "Just received a message from Young Sect Leader Profound Nine Yin, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect has intervened in the affairs of the two major sects in the Demon Ancient Wasteland."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s escape from the Thousand Mechanism Poison Swamp while the Netherworld Ancestor can’t make a move," others urged.
But Vice Alliance Leader Zuo’s gaze flickered a few times, then he said to everyone, "You go ahead first, I still have one last thing to take care of."
"Alright then, Alliance Leader Zuo, take care," the others said, turning into escape lights and leaving like a long rainbow.
Vice Alliance Leader Zuo stood where he was, and after waiting for a long time, a purple flashing light instantly arrived, landing in front of him.
The escape light dissipated, revealing the Young Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect, Profound Nine Yin, shrouded in a black robe, who said indifferently:
"The Netherworld Sect Ancestor probably still needs to stabilize his realm and can’t leave easily. Anyway, from now on, you’ll always be on the run, why not make a comeback and plunder everything valuable inside Qianji Immortal City?"
"This is exactly what I intend to do. There are many rare spirit plants on Black Obsidian Peak, which I’ve coveted for a long time... Today will be the day to harvest them..." Vice Alliance Leader Zuo said.
Profound Nine Yin immediately inquired: "I’ve heard that a Spirit Plant Master has actually cultivated Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rice. Is that true?"
"No secret to Fellow Daoist Nine Yin, it’s true," Vice Alliance Leader Zuo said, "I originally wanted to recruit this person into the Loose Alliance, but unfortunately, he was unaware of the situation."
Profound Nine Yin said, "Since that’s the case, let’s join forces and each depend on our own abilities to seize what we can."
"Those two old guys from the Nether Bone won’t be able to stop us."
The two conspired together, then turned into two blazing lights, disappearing from the spot.
Meanwhile, after the Netherworld Ancestor completed his breakthrough, the Venerable Nether Bone and the bald elder of the Netherworld Sect had spare energy to return to Qianji Immortal City.
The two, leading the members of the Netherworld Sect, were rushing towards Qianji Immortal City to support as quickly as possible.
...
On Black Obsidian Peak.
Master Yaochen and others were discussing with Qin Ming about what to do in the future.
Just then, there was a fluctuation from the array outside the cave mansion.
Qin Ming frowned, having already noticed who had come, though the visitor was somewhat unexpected to him, he still let them in.
The next moment.
When everyone saw the visitor’s face, they couldn’t help but be surprised and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Nine Profound... what brings you here!"
Nine Profound Ascendant, with a head full of white hair, appeared haggard and frail, like a decrepit old man on the brink of death.
This was completely different from the high-spirited and lavish Nine Profound Ascendant they had seen not long ago.
"Alas, fellow Daoists... I’ve regretted it so much!!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Nine Profound Ascendant immediately confided in everyone, revealing the entire story...
When Master Yaochen and others heard that Nine Profound Ascendant had a hand in the chaos in Qianji City, they were equally astonished.
Qin Ming had already known this beforehand, so he wasn’t too surprised.
"Ah! If only I had known earlier!" Master Yaochen lamented for his long-time neighbor.
Who would have thought that Nine Profound Ascendant couldn’t resist temptation and was led into the mire by the Loose Alliance, unable to extricate himself, resulting in his downfall after hundreds of years of cultivation going up in smoke.
In fact, they too were once approached by the Loose Alliance but never agreed.
"Knowing that I won’t live long, aside from seeing you all one last time, I have another important matter to inform Fellow Daoist Lii," Nine Profound Ascendant said.
Qin Ming heard and asked, puzzled, "Oh? Is there something else Fellow Daoist Nine Profound wishes to tell Lii?"
The others present also looked puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Lii, let me give you a piece of advice, quickly take your belongings and leave this place now. Vice Alliance Leader Zuo from the Loose Alliance covets your precious spirit plants. This person is narrow-minded and hides his true intentions. Since you’ve rejected him, he is very likely to return..." Nine Profound Ascendant explained slowly.
"If things really don’t work out, you can seek refuge with the Netherworld Sect. With Fellow Daoist Lii’s spirit plant mastery and cultivation, you’ll definitely be protected, and the Loose Alliance won’t dare to touch you."
Qin Ming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking the way he was speaking like he was settling his affairs, he thought some Void Refining Great Power was watching him.
A mere Divinity Transformation Stage, it was fine then.
"Fellow Daoist Nine Profound, I will pay attention to this," Lii said.
Suddenly!
Just as Qin Ming finished speaking, he frowned.
His powerful Divine Thought Power had sensed two Divinity Transformation auras approaching Qianji City at a rapid pace.
It was none other than Vice Alliance Leader Zuo and Profound Nine Yin, returning as predicted.
Indeed, speaking of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao!
It seemed Nine Profound Ascendant wasn’t wrong, and the two were right outside Qianji City, directly heading towards his Black Obsidian Peak...
"What’s wrong, Fellow Daoist Lii?"
Master Yaochen saw Qin Ming’s serious expression, sensing something, and asked.
Qin Ming let out a deep sigh, "Ah! It has come after all... it seems after planting in this place for a whole cycle of sixty years, it’s about time to leave..."
Seeing him say this, the others present exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.
But the next moment.
Two terrifying Divinity Transformation auras instantly descended on the main peak of Qianji City.
Revealing the figures of Vice Alliance Leader Zuo and Profound Nine Yin.
Without saying a word, Vice Alliance Leader Zuo reached out and grabbed, an instant Fire Element Divine Light condensed, slicing through the void, striking towards the array restriction surrounding Qin Ming’s cave mansion!
Rumble!
In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains swayed, the Array’s light curtain shattered on cue, collapsing like foam.
Since the Array Qin Ming set up here was merely a Tier Four High-Grade, it could not withstand a strike from a Venerable Divinity Transformation activating the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
In that moment.
Upon witnessing such a terrifying Divine Technique, Master Yaochen and the others all turned ashen.
"This!!"
Profound Nine Yin, under the black robe, looked down at the Spirit Medicine Garden of Black Obsidian Peak, his gaze sharpening suddenly, especially on those few Tier Five Demon Grain Spirit Rice, saying coldly:
"Alliance Leader Zuo, you were right; indeed, there are quite a few good things here, worth me taking the risk to come back and sweep through."
Vice Alliance Leader Zuo casually broke through the Grand Array here, his gaze falling on the few Nascent Soul Cultivators inside, as if looking at dead men.
Particularly when his eyes landed on Qin Ming, he couldn’t help but mock, "Friend Lii, as expected, you are still here. Since you don’t know your place, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Surrender obediently and be slaughtered."
As Alliance Leader Zuo finished speaking, the Spiritual Pressure of an early-stage Divinity Transformation was suddenly released, sealing the surrounding void.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he siphoned off more than half of the Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi nearby, transforming into several fire flood dragons descending towards them.
In his eyes, wiping out these few Nascent Soul Cultivators with the strength of his Divinity Transformation Stage was even easier than crushing an ant.
However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened!
The once calm Qin Ming, originally possessing Late-stage Nascent Soul mana, began to surge and escalate!
Boom!
In an instant, a far greater Spiritual Pressure swept through, vastly surpassing the opposing Alliance Leader Zuo.
In the midst of everyone’s astonished gaze, they saw Qin Ming, once a Late-stage Nascent Soul, standing aloft, shrouded in overwhelming demonic energy!
Revealing strength far beyond the Nascent Soul Stage...
"This...this is..."
"Fellow Daoist Lii..."
"Venerable Divinity Transformation!!!"
Such a shocking scene unfolded.
Not only did it astonish Master Yaochen and others, but even the opposing Vice Alliance Leader Zuo and Profound Nine Yin under his black robe showed looks of shock.
In an instant, an overwhelmingly domineering space-suppressing force descended!
Boom!
The Fire Element Divine Light cast by Alliance Leader Zuo was instantly crushed into nothingness...
Consequently, he felt only a terrifying Divine Thought Power crashing towards him, as if weighing the entire world’s burden upon him.
Alliance Leader Zuo’s face flushed with blood, and in an instant, he was struck and smashed into the ground, the ’Tai’ character imprinting a depression upon it...
Without a chance to resist.
But before he could react, countless black vine thorns, thick as water barrels, suddenly entangled him entirely.
Vice Alliance Leader Zuo was horrified, attempting to struggle against these bizarre black vines.
Buzz!
Yet, a piercing buzz resonated in his mind, his vision fading to black, plunging him into a state of stiff stupor.
His body withered rapidly, as if being drained by some terrifying presence.
All this happened in a flash, even Profound Nine Yin beside him nearly failed to respond.
He quickly cast a Spell, rushing to aid Vice Alliance Leader Zuo.
Swish!
One only saw a divine light filled with Sharp Metal Qi flash by, slicing not at the eerie black vines, but directly at Alliance Leader Zuo’s ensnared legs.
Profound Nine Yin evidently discerned the strange nature of those black vine thorns, not easily broken.
Otherwise, even the Vice Alliance Leader of the Mist Concealment Loose Alliance found himself in instant mortal danger.
Clang!
The Gold Element Divine Light flashed abruptly, severing the shadowed legs, freeing them from the bondage of the black vines.
In an instant, the Nascent Soul’s small figure of Alliance Leader Zuo, looked terrified, escaping from the ruined body.
In just a face-to-face, he almost got instantly killed by the ’Friend Lii’ before him.
If not for Profound Nine Yin’s intervention, even the Primordial Spirit might not have escaped, already dispersing into the heavens.
The scene’s situation transformed suddenly, leaving Master Yaochen and others astounded.
The once lofty Venerable Divinity Transformation intending to crush them couldn’t withstand a single move from Friend Lii.
They hadn’t even seen how Friend Lii acted.
That once domineering Alliance Leader Zuo merely had his Primordial Spirit flee in panic.
It was also unexpectedly discovered that their old neighbor had hidden so deeply.
With mere gestures, a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator dissipated into dust! What level of Cultivation Realm was this?
"Hmph! I hadn’t personally sought vengeance from you, yet you dare return, seeking me out. In that case, the two of you shall stay as fertilizer!"
In the sky, Qin Ming’s demonic energy surged turbulently, casting the Demon-Monster True Power Technique, transforming into a colossal Vajra Demon Form, a thousand feet tall, with three heads and six arms, exuding an overwhelming might.
Even facing the late-stage Divinity Transformation Profound Nine Yin, he was not a bit afraid.
In the next moment, one of the arms burst with demonic energy, fingers clenched into a fist, striking horizontally towards the opponent!
