Beast Roar Mountain Range, just after Qin Ming had left.
The place where a fierce battle with the demonic cultivators had just occurred, the air started to ripple like water, then began to shake violently.
At this moment.
Two dazzling beams of light suddenly shot from the distance, stopping instantly in mid-air nearby.
The lights dissipated, revealing two figures who emitted no mana aura, appearing almost like ordinary mortals.
However, being able to stand in void without releasing any hint of spiritual pressure was obviously not something ordinary people could do.
One of them, a figure as towering as an iron tower, was none other than the Demon Saint Gushan of the Mountain Giant Ape Race, whom Qin Ming had encountered once at the grand event in the Fox Race Sacred Land.
Beside him, a Black Feather Demon Cultivator stood in the void, a man dressed in black feathered clothing, with his black hair tied up, and aside from a horned nose, he bore almost no difference from the Human Race.
He was evidently also a figure of the Demon Saint Level who had fully completed transformation.
"Brother Gushan, the destruction from the battle here appears to have been caused by a late-stage Tier Three Great Demon."
"I’ve never heard, however, that there are any such demon cultivators in this part of the Beast Roar Mountain Range?"
Demon Saint Gushan did not directly reply to the question but instead squinted his eyes, using Demon Thought to sense carefully for a moment.
His brows furrowed slightly.
With a hint of confusion, he said: "Strange, why do I sense a vague hint of my race’s aura...faint and fleeting..."
"Ah? Brother Gushan, you must be mistaken?" The Black Feather Demon Cultivator said in surprise, "You must be joking, could it be that another demon saint seedling is about to emerge within your noble race?"
Demon Saint Gushan, finding nothing, gave up sensing: "No, it’s merely a suspicion."
"Great Black Heaven, what do you make of this?"
The person beside him was the early-stage Tier Four Transformed Demon Saint of the Wind-splitting Eagle Race — Great Black Heaven Demon Saint.
Upon hearing this, Great Black Heaven Demon Saint squinted his small emerald green eyes slightly, speaking indifferently:
"These little demons below, their small scuffles are of no importance."
"What concerns me most is the Secret Realm of the Ancient Cyan Origin Sect. It’s said there might be high-tier opportunities within, maybe even treasures to break through the Tier Four bottleneck. Isn’t Brother Gushan tempted?"
"What about my previous proposal, have you considered it?"
Demon Saint Gushan showed no interest in his words.
"There’s no need to discuss this further, I advise you not to meddle in Human Race affairs, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
Then, without caring about the other’s reaction, his figure blurred and he disappeared from the scene.
He departed as quickly as he had arrived.
Great Black Heaven Demon Saint’s emerald eyes flickered a few times, then without further delay, his form faded away, leaving the place.
"Hmph! Truly uninteresting."
"Since none of you agree to join forces, I’ll just go by myself."
...
Elsewhere.
After several days of flight, Qin Ming returned to the Spirit Fields of Five Elements Mountain.
To be safe, he took a longer detour.
Ensuring no one was tailing him, he finally returned to the Spirit Field base.
Upon returning to the Spirit Field, Qin Ming first conducted a patrol, with several dozen Spirit Farmers engaging in daily cultivation, and Li Lan tending to the Jade Emperor Spirit Rice—everything was normal.
Old Jia was managing the business in the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
Now that the business of the Mirror Snow Pavilion was getting better and better, he was becoming quite busy.
Guu Qingzhao also dispatched quite a few personnel from the headquarters in the Southern Wilderness.
The first thing Qin Ming did upon returning was to take out the Divine Hoe to clear the weeds from the ten acres of Celestial Net Grass he was growing, then applied the Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique for irrigation.
The Spirit Field was lush and verdant, growing fairly well overall.
After tending to the Spirit Field, he then entered the Little Spirit Realm and began to inspect the storage pouches of the two True Inheritors from the Blood Refining Demon Sect.
But what happened next.
