Chapter 310: Chapter 292: Surging Shadows of the Demon Sect

The Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship traversed the skies at great speed.

In charge of escorting this cargo was a late-stage Foundation Establishment Elder of the Thunder Origin Sect, named Shen Hezhou.

Shen Hezhou bore a bald head, with shrewdness radiating from his eyes. He wore a blue and gold Dharma Robe and had a slightly plump build.

This task he held was the most lucrative in the Thunder Origin Sect; casually stowing some items and people onboard could bring him heaps of wealth.

Therefore, even if offered the position of Sect Leader, he wouldn’t trade it.

Moreover, on the entire ship, his word was law, wielding immense power and authority, living in sheer comfort.

The Thunder Origin Sect’s Dharma Ship navigated within Wei Country’s borders, and no one dared to target it.

Shen Hezhou had been in this position for decades, unwavering like a rock.

"Elder Shen!"

"Greetings, Elder Shen!"

The disciples under the Thunder Origin Sect showed great respect as they greeted Shen Hezhou.

Under everyone’s gaze, Shen Hezhou leisurely strolled out of the cabin and headed toward the upstairs pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, who resides in the upper pavilion?"

"Why is Elder Shen so attentive to it?" A thin middle-aged man asked a Thunder Origin Sect disciple on duty in the cabin.

"Uh, we don’t know either. Elder’s matters are beyond our inquiry."

"..."

Moments later.

Shen Hezhou arrived outside the luxurious suite on the upper deck, cleared his throat, and said cautiously:

"Master Qin, the Dharma Ship will reach the Yunze Wilderness in three days."

"We’ll soon pass through a miasma chasm, which might cause some turbulence. Just a heads-up."

"Alright, noted. Continue with your duties."

From within, Qin Ming’s calm voice was heard.

"Yes, Master Qin. If you need anything, feel free to call me!"

Having said this, Shen Hezhou respectfully bowed toward the room inside, then quietly retreated. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qin Ming slowly opened his pitch-black eyes, "Over a month, and it’s finally about to arrive?"

Just as he was about to walk to the window for fresh air.

Boom!

The Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship, a thousand feet in size, suddenly shook violently several times as if it had struck some massive creature and instantly came to a halt.

Qin Ming immediately released his Divine Thought for a sweep.

In the pitch-black fog-miasma, three huge black Dharma Ships formed a triangular formation, encircling the Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship.

The ship’s escorts from the Thunder Origin Sect reacted at once, activating the Mana Shield and heading to the deck, only to see several dozen black chains shooting toward the Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship from the three black ships opposite.

The Defense Array was activated, with a blue light screen rising from the surroundings of the Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship, forming a spherical blue barrier.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The black chains crashed into the ship’s Array, sparking and arcing.

Immediately following that.

The Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship started shaking violently.

Luckily, the black chains did not break through the defense.

"Enemy attack!!"

In an instant, alarms echoed throughout the Dharma Ship. No one could have anticipated someone daring to target the Thunder Origin Sect’s ship.

As an Elder in charge, Shen Hezhou, accompanied by four or five Foundation Establishment cultivators, flew out with solemn expressions.

Hardly had he arrived outside when a blood-red streak tore through the sky and landed on the Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship’s protective shield.

In the blink of an eye, the impenetrable defense shield seemed to ignite, instantly opening a large hole.

"Tier Two Top-Grade Forbidden-Breaking Talisman!"

Shen Hezhou was both startled and furious, his face turning so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

"Hahaha! At last, we caught the big fish of Thunder Origin Sect!"

Amidst a flash of black light, five figures exuding potent mana appeared on the rival ship’s bow, all Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.

The three leading figures had even reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Yinn Rong of the Primordial Demon Sect!"

"Blood Evil Old Monster of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls!"

"Ghost Fire Wanderer of the Fire Worship Sect!"

Shen Hezhou instantly recognized the adversaries, his face changing dramatically.

"How could you possibly know this Sect’s Dharma Ship’s route?"

"No, there must be a traitor on the ship!"

At this moment, Shen Hezhou didn’t even need to think to figure out the situation.

The adversaries were obviously well-prepared, with as many as three Foundation Establishment Perfection Great Cultivators.

At this point, with the protective shield of the Thunder Origin Sect’s Dharma Ship breached, the situation was exceedingly unfavorable for them.

But when Shen Hezhou thought of the presence aboard his ship, he slightly steadied his heart.

The sinister-faced man named Yinn Rong gave the Thunder Origin Sect no time to react.

A Ghostbinding Banner appeared in his hand, sweeping toward the Thunder Origin Sect’s Dharma Ship.

In an instant, numerous ghostly entities wailed out, exuding fierce auras, assaulting everyone on the ship.

Shen Hezhou hastily performed a spell, conjuring a scarlet Spirit Sword to counter them.

But the cultivation gap was evident, not to mention the two Foundation Establishment Perfection demonic cultivators nearby watching intently.

Quickly, he found himself overwhelmed by the attacks of Yin Souls.

"Elder Qin! Help me!"

In his distress, Shen Hezhou disregarded his dignity and shouted loudly.

"Hehehe! Shen, even if you scream, it’s no use,"

"Prepare to die!"

Yinn Rong of the Primordial Demon Sect pinched a talisman, summoning a late-stage Tier Two ghost, transforming into a massive white skull, which heavily smashed toward Shen Hezhou.

Several other Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Thunder Origin Sect also engaged in battle with some Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators.

"Brothers! If we capture the Dharma Ship of the Thunder Origin Sect, we’ll strike it rich!"

The Thunder Origin Sect was being driven back step by step, with hundreds upon thousands of cultivators crawling up along the pitch-black chains.

"Hahaha! My ghostly creature just so happens to lack a late-stage Foundation Establishment soul!"

Just as Yinn Rong from the Primordial Demon Sect, with his withered claws, was about to take Shen Hezhou’s head.

Boom!

Suddenly!

His pupils abruptly contracted! Then his whole body stopped breathing, as if an invisible giant hand had seized his throat, rendering him speechless.

"Cackle cackle cackle!"

"Uh uh uh..."

Bang!

The next moment, Yinn Rong’s entire face showed a look of terror.

In the void, an invisible hand suddenly clenched tightly.

Yinn Rong instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Then, several black vines unexpectedly emerged, absorbing all this blood, transforming it into a Blood Pearl.

Seeing this scene, the Blood Evil Old Monster from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and Ghost Fire Young Wanderer from the Fire Worship Sect screamed in alarm:

"Divine Thought Transformation!"

"Something has changed! Retreat quickly! There’s a Golden Core Ancestor on the ship!"

But when they tried to flee, it was clearly too late, as countless black vines emerged from the void.

Growing wildly in the air, they entangled the two men.

The Blood Evil Old Monster, panic-stricken, hastily took out a Tier Two Top-Grade Fire Talisman, burning the black vines with a fervor.

But to his despair, the black vines were impervious to both water and fire, not even a ripple was stirred.

Gradually, the screams of these few people grew ever quieter, and in just an instant, they too transformed into Blood Pearls just like Yinn Rong.

Yet, the Blood Evil Old Monster was stunned, not understanding why he hadn’t died immediately. Watching the horrific fate of those around him, his heart was filled with fear.

The Demon Cultivators had never witnessed such a bizarre and terrifying method, and they all were about to flee.

But just then, a mass of black clouds gathered in the sky, bringing down a cold rain, chilling to the bone.

"Ah!"

As the Yin Evil Cold Rain fell, the low-tier Demon Cultivators collapsed in groups like cut wheat, entwined by the black vines, turned into dried corpses, and transformed into Blood Pearls one by one.

Shen Hezhou and the others had just escaped death, and before they could catch their breath, witnessing this eerie scene made their scalps tingle.

Then, the space distorted, and Qin Ming’s figure appeared out of thin air.

A mountain-like Spiritual Pressure descended, and those demon cultivators on the Dharma Ship realized what was happening, all falling to their knees, powerless to resist.

Qin Ming, expressionless, walked to the Blood Evil Old Monster from the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and began to perform the Soul Searching Technique.

"Se...Senior, spare my life!"

"No! Ah ah ah!"

"..."

After the Blood Evil Old Monster’s anguished wails, Qin Ming frowned slightly.

Then, his Divine Thought expanded, instantly enveloping the entire Dharma Ship.

Five or six passengers from the Thunder Origin Sect’s Crossing Abyssal Dharma Ship were pulled out by Qin Ming’s Divine Thought and thrown onto the deck.

Among them was a lean middle-aged cultivator.

Shen Hezhou looked at these people in front of him, and he instantly understood what had transpired.

However, his face turned deathly pale, and his heart sank to the depths.

Because these several cultivators were the ones to whom he had secretly sold cabin tickets to smuggle them aboard.

"Thank you, Elder Qin, for saving us!" The remaining elders from the Thunder Origin Sect expressed their deep gratitude to Qin Ming.

The cultivators on the Thunder Origin Sect’s ship had all witnessed Master Qin’s astounding abilities and were deeply shocked and awed.

When a Golden Core Master makes a move, it almost seems like a crushing blow.

Afterwards, the other elders from the Thunder Origin Sect, faces full of anger, questioned Shen Hezhou:

"Elder Shen, explain to us exactly what’s going on?!"

"Negligence! You almost botched everything!"

"If not for Elder Qin, we’d all be doomed by the demonic path today!"

"Once we reach the base, I’ll report this to the Sect for sure!"

The other Ship Guardian Elders from the Thunder Origin Sect also sensed something odd, confronting him bluntly.

Shen Hezhou was left speechless and filled with regret.

...

Inside the room.

Qin Ming placed the Blood Pearl into the storage pouch.

Just moments ago, he had obtained some strategic information from the Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls.

Firstly, the Jin Country had secretly fallen under demonic control and was infiltrating other Three Kingdoms.

Secondly, it seemed that the Six Demonic Sects were planning some major move against the Three Kingdoms and several Immortal Cities.

"The Six Demonic Sects are failing in their attempt to drive a wedge by instigating others; it appears they will have to intervene personally."

...

Three days later.

The Yunze Wilderness.

The Thunder Origin Sect’s Dharma Ship smoothly arrived within a bustling Immortal City.

This Immortal City was the "Cloud Marsh Immortal City," which the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley initially intended to build together.

The two Major Sects of the Wei Country perished at the brink of victory in the final battle, fading away into the river of history, leaving the Thunder Origin Sect to benefit freely.

Qin Ming showed no interest in the affairs of the Thunder Origin Sect, and after saying a few words to Shen Hezhou and the others,

Flew straight towards the Tier Three Spirit Vein.
