Status: Accidentally swallowed a drop of devil’s blood, leading to the mutation of his bloodline. Hence, his cultivation base improved rapidly as soon as he joined the Yinmo Sect.
A great change is on the horizon. Hence, he wants to take over the Jiuyang Sect completely. However, he feels the creepiness of the sect with the presence of an incredibly strong phoenix bloodline and the failure of a team plotting against the Jiuyang Sect, being wiped out by the Qingyun Sect.
Mo Lin, the Holy Son, was killed on his return from challenging the Jiuyang Sect, and his guardian, Ge Xiang, a Paradis Realm Elder, died as well. Bai Zizai was also killed there, and the Bishui Great Monarch, who was invading the Jiuyang Sect, was not only killed but his Bishui Sect was destroyed too.
Further investigation had also shown that in earlier days, Mu Lei, a Qingyun disciple that used to challenge the Jiuyang Sect, was killed on his return. His mother, who had gone to take revenge, died after she left the sect.
‘Whoever connected to the Jiuyang Sect would end up in tragedy. Hence, he assumed that an expert was protecting the sect.
He secretly followed the Holy Daughter, who was on the mission to overwhelm the Jiuyang Sect, while investigating the expert behind the scene.
‘When he felt the strong wave, Chou Long had already died. He held back his killing intent just to observe the killer without being noticed, even if the entire team, including the Holy Daughter, were killed. He was waiting for the moment when the killer would relax after the entire team was dead before he
began to counterstrike.
‘When Jiang Ming dodged, he checked on the attacker and felt his scalp pins and needles. After all, Hu Zhi had cold-bloodedly watched the death of more than 10 Primal Spirit experts, including the Holy Daughter, just for the best moment to counterstrike, even though he could have saved them.
Jiang Ming felt a shiver run down his spine as he thought of the sudden attack. Fortunately, he had enough experience fighting against the Darkness Dao in the Supreme Pagoda, allowing him to react in time.
He was particularly shocked at the details the attacker investigated, coming to the conclusion that those who had died were somewhat connected to the Jiuyang Sect. This made him think that both Old Tie and Qing Fengzi might have similar doubts.
With doubts, they usually would be assured even without evidence. Nevertheless, Jiang Ming was unafraid because of his improved cultivation base.
Hu Zhi interrogated, “Who are you? You are the killer of Mo Lin the Holy Son, Ge Xiang, Bai Zizai, and the Bishui Great Monarch, right?”
Nine divine mountains appeared along with an outburst, connecting each other to form an incredibly great formation that sealed the entire area within a 100-meter radius. As they fell, they crushed all things beneath them.
Hu Zhi saw through Jiang Ming’s cultivation base as soon as Jiang Ming struck. He did not care despite the terrifying pressure that could pose a threat to him. Instead, he huffed. “Small trick!”
And when he was about to counterattack after taking out a top-grade Dao Sword, he saw Jiang Ming take out a bell.
The bell was so heavy that it crushed the void and millions of Daos.
“This is an immortal weapon!” Hu Zhi expressed his astonishment.
He immediately disintegrated himself into darkness in retreat but was constrained by the nine divine mountains above him. It was this moment that decided the end of his life.
Sound waves swept through the void, encompassing all things, even the darkness formed by disintegrated Hu Zhi.
Hu Zhi screamed in despair and transformed back to its original shape, a 100-meter tall, pure black fox demon. At that moment, blood gushed from the seven orifices of its head as it cried out in pain. In the next moment, its head exploded, and it died in an instant.
Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Record and heaved a sigh of relief only after confirming its death.
He knew how terrific an Extreme Path expert was—the ability of an Extreme Path expert to merge his body into the law made them even more difficult to be killed.
In fact, Jiang Ming could also come out with an effective countermeasure because of his understanding of an Extreme Path expert. He knew he had to constrain the movement of the Extreme Path expert and strike them dead with a blow, or he would fail. After all, he was in reality, not in the Supreme
Pagoda.
Thus, Jiang Ming had cast Mountains Seal, which prompted Hu Zhi despisal, enabling him to take out and inject half of his mana into the Celestial Sou! Bell, an immortal weapon. This prompted a terrific outburst that instantly killed Hu Zhi.
Jiang Ming sighed. “Wanted a fight, but it wasn’t a good time, unfortunately.”
He gathered up all the spoils and swept away Hu Zhi’s corpse. Black flames then surged from his body, sweeping across a 100-miles radius, and burned away all traces except the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal’s.
Following that, he turned and burrowed into space.
Not long later, two figures came over in the form of light. They were Qing Fengzi and Qing Xuzi, the Extreme Path experts from the Qingyun Sect. They looked grave and meticulous. They even took out their weapons for protection and got ready to cast their special abilities.
The duo went around before they came to a halt above the destroyed valley.
Qing Fengzi lifted his hand and transferred all accumulated rainwater out of the valley. He said, “The devil flame removed all traces but the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal’s. Obviously, it’s a plan to frame us. But what’s the point of doing so since we’re already engaging in the battle with the Yinmo Sect?
Is it because the culprit is trying to hide their identity?”
He made a pause and looked at the point where Hu Zhi was killed before continuing. “There are slight traces of demonic power and devil scent in addition to the Dao fluctuation induced by the outburst of immortal weapons in the void.”
Qing Xuzi nodded in agreement. “Who would use an immortal weapon at this time? An immortal weapon is, after all, an inherited weapon that guards a clan. It doesn’t make sense. Moreover, is it worthy to use an immortal weapon against a Yinmo team on a mission to annihilate the Jiuyang Sect? I think
the culprit should not be that strong, but I wonder why they have to kill all of them even at the cost of revealing their immortal weapon.”
He turned to look at the Jiuyang Sect.
Qing Fengzi followed after. He said gravely, “It’s confirmed that an expert of at least the Paradis Realm is hiding in the Jiuyang Sect. But something is not right, isn’t it? We do know the sect thoroughly, don’t we? Could it be due to Zi Linglong’s bloodline? And it’s abnormal that the Yinmo Sect is far too
concerned about the Jiuyang Sect.”
“Let’s go check it out!”
“Okay!”
The duo left in the form of light. They arrived above the Jiuyang Sect in merely a short moment. While hiding themselves, they went around all peaks as though the sect’s protective formation did not exist.
‘The duo would stop at each peak for a while, surveying meticulously, but found nothing valuable that could answer their questions.
Jiang Ming on Chuyang Peak was aware of the duo in an instant. He anxiously merged the Starry Hall into the cave underground and hid the entire place with an immortal weapon to avoid being discovered.
Following that, he sat cross-legged in the room calmly as though he was cultivating.
He also called out the Human Path Record to check on Qing Fengzi.

Status: The layout against the Yinmo Sect and Red Mountain Palace had reached a critical moment. When the rain suddenly fell, he did not take it seriously because he knew it was the act of the Red Mountain Palace.
He was shocked when his sect’s artifact suddenly detected the immortal weapon’s energy wave from the direction of the Jiuyang Sect. Thus, he came over with his Junior Brother for an investigation. Without much effort, he speculated the team that had been killed was from the Yinmo Sect, which was
heading to the Jiuyang Sect. Based on other clues obtained previously, he again speculated that the person with the immortal weapon probably originated from the Jiuyang Sect.
Therefore, he went to the Jiuyang Sect to investigate further but found nothing strange, not even Chuyang Peak. He began doubting whether his speculation was a mistake and wondered if that person had gone to the God of Thunders Immortal Treasures to protect Zi Linglong.
Also, he pondered whether to annihilate the Jiuyang Sect to frame the Yinmo Sect and force the appearance of the Jiuyang Sect’s hidden expert.
Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat as he read.
This Qing Fengzi, who had been so amiable with Old Tie on Chuyang Peak and even fought with Old Tie for Zi Linglong, had come this time intending to annihilate the Jiuyang Sect!
As expected of a Qingyun person-in-charge behind the scenes—he was indeed extraordinarily ruthless and decisive.
Jiang Ming felt nervous as he thought, ‘I thought I’ve been meticulous enough, leaving no valuable traces, but he actually could speculate relatively well. These old things that have lived for thousands of years are indeed filled with wisdom!
‘What shall I do if he does what he thinks”
