Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 104 - 93: Bait on a Straight Hook! Who Is the Fisherman?

Li Mingqi was originally just a failed contender for power within the sect, hastily fleeing the sect, and accidentally discovering that in this remote and impoverished corner, there was still a subordinate force affiliated with the Soul Catching Sect, so he came directly here.

Because there was only a black iron ore vein here, which wasn’t considered precious, Li Mingqi didn’t pay much attention to this place.

The descendants of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were high above within the sect, and even now as wanderers fallen from grace, they did not consider a place guarded by a mere Inner Sect Disciple to match their status.

In his understanding, the Qi Family affiliated with the Soul Catching Sect was extremely weak, not even having a High Tier of Qi Cultivator, and he alone could annihilate this family, completely unable to offer much help.

However, upon arriving at the Qi Family, Li Mingqi was surprised to discover that the Qi Family had developed quite well, exceeding his expectations in both family size and power.

Not only were the family buildings sprawling and looked quite magnificent, but the Qi Family’s power was impressive, and the few high-level members of the Qi Family he encountered had a solid foundation, with the potential to rise further.

It could be said that with good cultivation, this Qi Family could even be used by him, becoming one of his team’s foundations.

Although Li Mingqi was arrogant, he was not a fool, and because of his connection to the Third Elder, a group of people had always gathered around him offering strategies, who were originally being nurtured toward higher positions within the sect; they had basic discernment.

Dividing up the forces under the Soul Catching Sect, this Qi Family simply could not be rated as it was reported within the sect, instead flourishing and forming a stark contrast.

The Qi Family must have secrets; otherwise, such a seemingly weak family, which didn’t even have a High Tier Qi Cultivator, couldn’t have achieved such a rapid scale change.

This was actually Li Mingqi’s ultimate purpose for staying here.

Currently, they claim to be gaining strength and waiting for a counterattack, but in reality, they are just the losers of an internal sect struggle, their eyes already red with rage, like gamblers who have lost everything, ready to kill over the slightest benefit.

Moreover, this insignificant Qi Family and the Inner Sect Disciple Zheng Yi were not even considered by their group.

It was as if there was meat on a chopping board, making them eager to act.

"My Lord, the Qi Family has been behaving quite docile these days, allowing us to investigate freely."

Immediately, a subordinate stepped forward to report the Qi Family’s attitude, saying that this small Qi Cultivation Clan had treated them with great hospitality from the start, fully demonstrating the reverence a small local family would have for True Disciples of the Upper Sect.

They feared being ungracious anywhere and offending them.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of obstruction regarding their investigations.

"It seems the news hasn’t spread yet!"

Li Mingqi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; his cultivation wasn’t weak, having been cared for and personally taught by the Third Elder since childhood, now having reached the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Yet having just experienced a significant defeat, collapsing in an internal sect struggle, he still had lingering fears, and now as he arrived in this small place to plot against the local tyrant Qi Family, he instead became cautious, suspicious of everything.

Previously, if the Third Elder were still alive and the Soul Catching Sect’s position secure, dealing with such local Qi Cultivation Clans would have been a trivial matter for him, a matter resolved with a single word.

But now, Li Mingqi didn’t think that way anymore.

People mature through setbacks and trials; planning before acting is the basic hard truth.

Besides, within the sect, after a great battle with other forces, Li Mingqi’s side hastily fled the sect; both he and his followers had some injuries and couldn’t unleash their full strength.

In case there were pursuers behind, they would need the Qi Family, like the local tyrant, to cover them, so they naturally had to be extremely careful.

However, although Li Mingqi and his party were cautious, they were still somewhat prejudiced, not realizing that all this was arranged by Zheng Yi for Qi Lin to do.

The small mining area of Badong Town had long been managed by Zheng Yi to be as solid as an iron plate, so they couldn’t easily infiltrate it upon arrival.

What they did seemed covert, but in reality, not a single move escaped the surveillance arranged by Zheng Yi.

They appeared clever, yet they were embroidered pillows, hollow inside, with empty bellies.

This was Zheng Yi’s evaluation of Li Mingqi.

Now was a critical period; Zheng Yi had established his base in the Doomsday World, and now was the time to quietly develop. Generally, if it wasn’t a matter of paramount importance, Zheng Yi didn’t want to cause trouble, preferring everything to pass peacefully.

He hadn’t even stopped the movements of Li Mingqi’s entourage; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to gather any information and wouldn’t have been able to take a single step in the mining area of Badong Town.

If Li Mingqi was sensible and healed his injuries, obediently leaving the Qi Family, Zheng Yi would definitely ensure his safe exit, even gifting some resources.

You walk your broad road, I’ll cross my single-log bridge, without interference.

Whether it be the Qi Family or Zheng Yi, they all needed more time to quietly develop, avoiding trouble whenever possible. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Seeing Li Mingqi’s posture, Zheng Yi was ready to squash him like a fly, ensuring that he killed or eradicated any threats, leaving no future troubles.

It wouldn’t affect the Qi Family’s grand development plans.

...

Li Mingqi nodded slightly, signaling his subordinate to continue.

"According to careful scouting and observation by our people over the past few days, this entire Qi Family differs completely from impressions. The strength of the Qi family members is generally not low, but they are still within our manageable scope."
