Qin Ming looked at the ’Demon Monarch Qishang’ across from him, scrutinizing for a long time, and was very satisfied with this new disguise.

Originally, his Demon Infant mainly cultivated the body, and his Primordial True Demon Body could be said to crush Body Refining Cultivators of the same level.

If he cultivated to a higher realm in the future, he could practically walk unhindered in the Cultivation Realm.

Specialized in being both tough and violent.

’My Second Nascent Soul wearing this disguise is truly seamless... perfectly fitting.’

’It seems I will bring peace to the Blood Refining Demon Sect.’

’Demon Monarch Qishang’ smiled eerily and said to the Heaven-Devouring Rat on his shoulder, "Why don’t you come with me to the Demon Sect to cultivate?"

"According to this person’s memory, there are many enchanting Demon Pet Demon Cultivators in the Demon Sect..."

The Heaven-Devouring Rat was startled at the words, immediately jumping back behind Qin Ming, hurriedly chuckling awkwardly, "No, no, no, I’d better cultivate with my master."

"The path of demonic cultivation isn’t quite suitable for me, hehehe."

Afterwards.

The two exchanged a smile.

Qin Ming and his Demon Infant acted separately, leaving the underwater canyon and flying towards the sea surface.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Blood Realm, within the depths of a grand hall in the forbidden area of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.

On the rack that offered the Soul Lamps of the Demon Sect’s Elders, the Lifebound Soul Lamp representing the Demon Monarch Qishang wobbled briefly, then brightened again.

An elderly man with long eyebrows, sitting cross-legged on a mat in the hall, his aura mysterious and unfathomable, opened his murky eyes and looked at the rack.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the Soul Lamp continue to burn, the long-eyebrowed elder then closed his eyes again, returning everything to serenity, integrating into the world, as if he did not exist.

...

In the East Sea Cultivation Realm.

After Qin Ming flew out of the sea, he released his Divine Thought for a scan.

He discovered that this old fellow, Master Tianji, was true to form, fleeing at the crisis and long gone.

As for Cold Crow Ascendant, Qin Ming still wanted to save him, because he probably couldn’t defeat the Saintess of the Blood Refining Demon Sect.

After all, Cold Crow Ascendant had quite a lot of good things, owning a treasure trove left behind by Xuanqing Temple, which would be a pity to fall into others’ hands...

Afterwards.

He slightly sensed with his Divine Thought, and soon detected a trace of aura left behind by Cold Crow Ascendant while fleeing in the air.

Accordingly, Qin Ming transformed into a blue streak of Escape Light and pursued along the trail.

After flying for half a day.

He found that Cold Crow Ascendant was actually flying in the direction of Celestial Wave Immortal City.

Just when he was still chasing, a large crowd of people appeared densely above the distant Celestial Vault.

Cold Crow Ascendant was seen leading a group back.

Cold Crow Ascendant, upon seeing Qin Ming, was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "Younger Brother Qin, you’re actually alright? That’s wonderful!"

"I went ahead to get reinforcements for you all, but it seems there’s no need."

Behind him stood Duke Xia Yuan and Master Longyang, currently bringing Celestial Wave Immortal City’s cultivators for support.

Cold Crow Ascendant never expected Qin Ming could survive under the pursuit of Demon Monarch Qishang, and even looked more relaxed than himself.

He was also quite disheartened.

To evade the pursuit by that Witch, he had paid a painful price.

And the one chasing Qin Ming and others was a mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Monarch, which was even more terrifying.

"Just a stroke of luck, I, Qin, am skilled in a Water Escape Secret Technique, and after some twists and turns, I managed to shake off that mid-stage Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator." Qin Ming feigned extreme relief. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Then, he spoke meaningfully to Cold Crow Ascendant:

"It’s really fortunate that Fellow Daoist Cold Crow has great fortune and destiny, to escape unscathed from the hands of that Saintess of the Demon Sect."

"How can I compare to you, Younger Brother Qin! It was with the help of a Divine Movement Talisman that I escaped, and I happened to meet the two City Lords of Celestial Wave Immortal City, otherwise I would indeed be done for today." Cold Crow Ascendant replied with lingering fear.

"That wretched woman is truly not to be trifled with, her Ice Divine Technique caused me great suffering."

Duke Xia Yuan and Master Longyang, among others, had received the distress signal from Dragon Abyss Island, and were rushing with numerous spiritual ships, meeting Cold Crow Ascendant by chance.

Qin Ming exchanged pleasantries with the two.

He promptly explained to them the details of the current situation at Dragon Abyss Island.

The people of Celestial Wave Immortal City.

Upon hearing that the entire Dragon Abyss Island was tainted by Demonic Qi, and a massive Eye of the Void had already formed.

The two City Lords’ faces turned very grim, quickly bidding farewell to Qin Ming and Cold Crow Ascendant and went to report to Star Palace to handle the situation.

"Such a vast scale of Demonic Qi contamination invasion, I’m afraid Dragon Abyss Island will become Demon Abyss Island in the future, alas!!" Cold Crow Ascendant sighed heavily.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you say this, Fellow Daoist Cold Crow?"

"Doesn’t the East Sea Cultivation Realm and the Dragon Palace of the Sea Race have Divinity Transformation Sect overseeing, should they not be able to clear and remove the Eye of the Void here?"

Cold Crow Ascendant slowly explained:

"Younger Brother Qin may not know; I have some knowledge concerning this matter, having read about some Demonic Qi pollution events in ancient texts."

"As far as I know, the Ancient Demon Realm previously, when invading other small realms, would bring massive amounts of Demonic Qi, which ordinary human cultivators couldn’t utilize or refine, and instead would be polluted and demonized, suffering greatly from it."

"However, there were also some human race who adapted to this environment, and by utilizing the powerful Demon Techniques of the Demon Race, modified them into cultivation techniques suitable for human race, and those who cultivated such techniques were called Demonic Cultivators, and thereby the Demonic Dao was formed."
