Just as Qin Ming exterminated Jiangg Yuan.
The Blood Refining Demon Sectâs true disciples, hidden within the Great Li and Great Zhou Cultivation Realms, were all shocked and lost color in their faces.
They took out the Demon Pattern Blood Tokens from their bodies in horror, and were shocked to find that the Divine Soul Mark, representing the Demon Sect Saint Child, at the top of the blood token, had already disappeared.
The implication of this was self-evident.
"The Saint Child has met with misfortune and has already fallen!"
"This... how could it be?!"
"With Brother Jianggâs cultivation strength, could he have encountered an exceptionally powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch?"
"Itâs over, with the Saint Childâs fall, the ancestors will definitely find us guilty."
"What about Senior Sister Lan Bing? Wasnât she with Brother Jiangg?"
"Yes, yes, I also received news that the two Senior Brothers and Sisters should have infiltrated the Great Jin to hunt down that Cold Crow Ascendant."
"Could it have been the Cold Crow Ascendantâs dying counterattack?"
"Alas! This is bad, I never expected such a big event to occur!"
...
Inside the Great Li Dynastyâs Yin Demon Sect.
Lan Bing Saintess, clad in a black gauze long dress, held the Demon Pattern Blood Token with her fair hand, her long eyes constantly flickering.
Below her, several disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect stood respectfully.
"Senior Sister Lan, following Brother Qiu and Junior Brother Meng, Brother Jiangg has also fallen. What should we do now?"
"If there are too many casualties, it will affect our trial results."
The true disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect did not expect that in the Great Li and Great Zhou Cultivation Realms, everything was smooth sailing as they plundered treasures from the Lower Realm, blood-sacrificed cultivatorsâ Life Souls and flesh, and their Demon Techniques thrived; their strength increased significantly.
But upon entering the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, three fellow disciples died consecutively, and one of them was even the Saint Child upon whom the sect elders had high hopes.
This kind of occurrence had never happened in any descent over thousands of years.
No wonder these Demonic Cultivators felt shocked and terrified.
Lan Bing Saintess sat on the top throne, indifferent to the discussions of the few fellow disciples below.
It seemed that she had already anticipated the fall of Jiangg Yuan, the Saint Child.
"Actually, when I was with Brother Jiangg, I used the Divination Divine Secret Technique to predict once."
"The result was a great omen of disaster; invisibly, even I felt an overwhelming sense of alarm, so I abandoned the pursuit of the Cold Crow Ascendant early."
"Brother Jiangg was obsessed with the Cold Crow Ascendantâs wealth and did not expect this calamity."
Lan Bing Saintess spoke lightly, completely indifferent to the death of the Demon Sect Saint Child.
"Ah? Itâs actually like this..."
The demonic cultivators of Lan Bing Saintessâs faction were left speechless, exchanging glances.
This Senior Sister Lan is indeed ruthless, even knowing there was danger, she did not tell Brother Jiangg to run together.
However, on second thought, the competition among the Saint Children of the Demon Sect is also extremely fierce.
Senior Sister Lan Bing probably couldnât wait for Brother Jiangg Yuan to die sooner.
Soon after.
Lan Bing Saintess continued to say lightly, "With three fellow disciples lost consecutively, it seems that something is indeed wrong in the Lower Realm."
"With Brother Jianggâs strength, it would take the action of a Nascent Soul Cultivator to completely exterminate him."
"After all, he has a Tier Four Demon Treasure for protection."
"I wonder which Nascent Soul acted."
At this time, a yellow-haired demonic cultivator stepped forward to inquire, "Senior Sister Lan, do you think... there is a possibility that it is the machinations of those other sects in the Blood Realm?"
"If they use some method to smuggle a Nascent Soul Cultivator to the Lower Realm, hunting this Holy Sectâs disciples."
"To weaken this sectâs backbone, it is entirely possible."
"Especially with the fall of the Saint Child, itâs a significant blow to this Holy Sect, just as the other sects desire."
Lan Bing Saintess contemplated for a moment, frowning slightly and said, "Impossible, if any other sect manipulated things in the dark, the Interface Power would fluctuate, and our sectâs Demon Subduing Platform would react."
"Let alone smuggling a Nascent Soul to the Lower Realm, even if a Venerable Divinity Transformation got caught in Void Turbulence, thereâs only the path of death and disappearance."
The yellow-haired demonic cultivator found this reasoning sound, and then asked, "So... does Senior Sister Lan mean itâs most likely the doing of someone in the Lower Realm?"
"Should we investigate?"
"After all, Elder Meng Kuoâs grandson and the sectâs Saint Child have fallen; surely, there will be a thorough investigation above."
Lan Bing Saintess pondered for a moment and said:
"Let the Yin Demon Sect people, investigate secretly with the Demon Pattern Blood Token, donât move around recklessly to avoid more casualties."
In a cold tone, she said, "Even Jiangg Yuan wasnât their match, you would only meet a dead end."
"When Jiangg Yuan fell, not even a message was transmitted, thatâs telling enough."
"Additionally, inform the fellow disciples stationed in the Great Jin to return to the Great Li as soon as possible."
"Focus mainly on the Cyan Origin Sect Secret Realm incident."
"As for the Cold Crow Ascendant... just consider him fortunate."
After speaking, the demonic cultivators below quickly obeyed.
"Yes! Senior Sister Lan!"
...
On the other side.
Qin Ming had already taken a long detour, returning to the Five Elements Mountain Market.
Although there were some unexpected incidents during this trip, it was a great success.
First, he exchanged with the Cold Crow Ascendant to obtain the âFive Elements Spirit Ginsengâ, pivotal for refining the Nascent Condensation Pill, and acquired Tier Four spiritual material such as Phoenix Blood Red Gold.
Most importantly, he obtained Master Huo Xuâs storage pouch, as well as the background of the Blood Refining Demon Sectâs Saint Child.
In the Little Spirit Realm.
"A harvest, a great harvest!"
The Heaven-Devouring Rat, Profound Water Crocodile, Silver-winged Frost Bee, and Hua Tianxiong gathered around the corpse of the Demon Sectâs Saint Child Jiangg Yuan, their eyes brimming with enormous excitement.
