Chapter 883 Reencounter with an Old Acquaintance, Taking Action

Inside the Demon Clan's main hall.

As the White Ape Demon General finished speaking with unquestionable certainty, none of the demon generals dared to raise any objections.

After all, he was a figure highly valued by the Demon Emperor in the ancient demon realm. Without certain abilities, he would not have been sent to the spirit realm to take charge of the overall situation.

"I will make the decision on this matter myself. You all go down and conserve your energy, take care of the daily training affairs, and be ready to be put to use at any time."

"Alright, that's all for now, meeting adjourned."

Qin Ming said it casually and made up his mind.

Dragon Fish and Fire Scale looked at each other, neither interrupting, and both let him take the lead.

After all, the fact that the Demon Emperor allowed the two of them to come to the Spirit Realm was all thanks to the White Ape Demon General.

Qin Mingxian temporarily stabilized the situation on the demon side.

Although he has returned to the spirit world, he still cannot abandon the identity of 'White Ape Demon General'.

It is of great use to him at present.

On the one hand, it can gather more advanced intelligence.

On the other hand, it makes it easier for him to collect rare and precious materials from the spirit world.

This position is considered very important and powerful among the demon race, with a status even higher than that of an ordinary demon general.

Furthermore, it is estimated that Xuan Shui Crocodile and Blue Ice Fairy are still in the Ancient Demon Realm, so it will be relatively convenient to go there again in the future.

The following days.

Qin Ming had settled down among the demons and then began to think about his next plan.

The Devouring Rat walked in from outside and then reported to Qin Ming: "Master, I have asked them to inquire about the matter between the second brother and Fairy Blue Ice."

"We have news from the second brother. The interdimensional teleportation failed, and he has returned to the Ancient Demon Realm. He can only wait for the next convergence of spiritual energy tides to teleport back through interdimensional teleportation."

"As for Fairy Blue Ice, it seems there's been some trouble, and her whereabouts are still unknown."

As he finished speaking, the Devouring Rat's voice grew softer and softer, and he almost couldn't hold back anymore.

Qin Ming frowned after hearing this, although the connection between the two beasts and his mind was extremely weak.

Even though the connection with Fairy Blue Ice has been almost completely severed, there is still some feeling.

He could sense that the other party was currently not in any serious danger, and had probably just arrived in some unknown area.

"Yes, they should both be fine, so there's no need to worry too much."

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the Devouring Rat breathed a sigh of relief.

It immediately came up to him again, quickly massaging Qin Ming's shoulders, and asked with a fawning smile:
"Master, when shall we return to Little Turtle Peak?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming asked, "What? Don't you want to be your mountain king in the demon race anymore?"

"Hehe! It's no fun fighting and vying for power among the demons all day long. It's much more carefree to farm and cultivate on Little Turtle Peak," the Devouring Rat sighed with a touch of melancholy.

Qin Ming said, "It seems you've finally grasped the Dao."

"It's not that I've learned a lot from your teachings, Master," the Devouring Rat said, offering a timely compliment.

"I have already made a decision on this matter. I intend to leave the Demon Infant's primordial spirit to continue to guard the demon race, while I return to the human race's spiritual realm," Qin Ming said calmly.

"However, we still need to choose the right time to possess a demon body."

The demon race occupies a relatively large territory in the spirit realm. In addition to the main city, 'Suspended Holy City', where he resides, there are several other major cities.

Qin Ming also learned that in the past hundred years, the demon race in the spirit realm has been in a healing phase after experiencing the insect plague invasion, and has been unable to launch a war of any significant scale.

This can be considered as a temporary peace for both the human and demon races.

Originally, this main city located in the Great Flame Demon Domain was under the control of Demon General Ao Yu, and Qin Ming has now taken over his burden.

After returning to the Spirit Realm, Qin Ming continued his cultivation within the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Now, his physical cultivation and magical power cultivation have both reached the late stage of the Void Refinement realm. If either one is taken out, he is invincible among those of the same level.

When one's physical cultivation reaches the pinnacle, one's physical body becomes so refined that one can even directly confront a cultivator in the early stages of the Body Integration Realm.

And his magical power was not lacking either; once all 360 acupoints were filled, he could reach the state of perfection.

He also unlocked the third great supernatural power of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

The True Spirit Five Extreme Mountains were also cultivated into four mountains, and their power was astonishing.

Furthermore, the Eight Gates Reincarnation Mirror allows one to unleash extraordinary innate techniques.

As long as you don't encounter a powerful player in the mid-to-late stages of the fusion phase, or get surrounded by multiple enemies, you can handle it with ease.

Qin Ming's next plan is to continue cultivating the Xuanhuang Myriad Qi Bloodwood Vine and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree to maturity.

As for the daily affairs within the main city of the demon race, he left them to Long Yuzi and Huo Linzi to handle.

The two of them actually enjoyed these things very much.

When other cultivators from the Spirit Realm who had reached the Integration Stage came to visit, they were the ones who went to entertain them.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, just wanted some peace and quiet.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree still needed some incense and prayers to grow stronger, so he sent the Devouring Sky Rat with the Demon Refining Bottle to other battlefields in the demon realm to continue collecting living souls.

He also specifically instructed the Devouring Sky Rat to keep an eye out for suitable bodies among the demon race, so as to facilitate the possession of the Heavenly Demon.

"My cultivation has now reached the final stage of the Void Refinement stage, and I can now start planning for the Body Integration stage."

Within the Lesser Spirit Realm.

After tending to the spiritual plants, Qin Ming took out some resources and fed Xiao Qing as well.

This guy is living a carefree life here, with plenty to eat and drink, it couldn't be more comfortable.

With the support of abundant natural resources, it is only one step away from the seventh-order realm.

Instead, it became the one whose cultivation was exhausted the fastest among all the spirit pets.

The main reason is that Qin Ming has a lot of high-level resources at his disposal; otherwise, ordinary people simply couldn't support such a bottomless pit of resources.

The resources of those who died at Qin Ming's hands, apart from the portion left by Qin Ming, mostly ended up in Xiao Qing's stomach.

Now, there are two fewer people in Xiaoling territory.

The Devouring Rat and the Little Silver Fox also looked melancholy, occasionally thinking of the Mysterious Water Crocodile and the Blue Ice Fairy.

The two precious orbs that remained when Qin Ming's Linglong Immortal Mansion shattered are still in his storage bag.

Since advancing to the late stage of Void Refinement, he has tried to unlock its mysteries, but to no avail.

"Judging from these two celestial items, they must be extremely high-level. Only when we truly advance to the Integration stage will we be able to see their true appearance."

He then put the two orbs of light away.

……

This day.

After Qin Ming finished his daily practice, he stepped out of his cave and saw the Devouring Rat picking its teeth, its belly bulging like a round ball, stepping into the Little Spirit Realm.

It's obvious they've made a lot of things.

"Where did it go to eat and drink again?" Qin Ming asked it.

"How's the matter I asked you to handle?"

Upon seeing Qin Ming emerge, the Devouring Rat quickly abandoned its greasy demeanor, spat out the skewer in its mouth, and replied:
“Master, you have emerged from seclusion. A few days ago, the ‘Golden Horn Demon General’ from the neighboring Great Cang Demon Domain brought his delegation to visit you. However, upon seeing that you were in seclusion, the Dragon Fish Demon General and the others received you instead.”

"Hosting the delegation with a banquet in the city is quite a grand affair."

"So I also went and had a few cups of spirit wine."

Qin Ming glanced at it and said, "I think you've had more than just a few drinks, haven't you?" "Hehe! Master, the suitable demon body you asked me to look into has indeed made progress," the Devouring Rat quickly changed the subject.

Qin Ming said, "Tell me about it."

The Devouring Rat deftly flicked its little hand, swiftly retrieving a jade slip containing information from its storage pouch and handing it over:

"In the south of the Great Flame Demon Domain, there is a place called 'Immovable Mountain' where a ferocious ape at the peak of the sixth rank exists. It enslaves a group of demons with extremely brutal methods, occupies the mountain alone as king, and is extremely powerful. It is known as the 'Tyrant'."

"It is said that this fiend never obeys the control of the demon race's superiors, and several attempts to recruit him have failed."

"Why don't you go and take a look yourself?"

Qin Ming took the intelligence jade slip and immediately began to browse it with his divine sense, revealing a hint of interest.

"At present, there is no better option."

"Then this scoundrel is just unlucky."

Having said that, he didn't think any further and had the Devouring Rat dig a hole. He then secretly traversed the void, leaving the main city of the demon race and heading towards the Immovable Mountain.

With Qin Ming's current late-stage Refinement Realm strength, comparable to the Integration Realm, his escape speed is also incomparable, combined with the bloodline supernatural power of the Devouring Sky Rat.

In just half a day, they arrived at the territory of the Immovable Mountain.

A desolate mountain range full of rocky hills gradually came into Qin Ming's view.

One of the peaks, shaped like a giant skull, is particularly striking and has become a landmark of the area.

A crimson miasma permeated the surrounding area, completely engulfing and concealing the mountain peaks beneath it.

This red mist seems quite strange; the demonic thoughts of ordinary demons cannot penetrate it at all.

However, Qin Ming's divine sense was as powerful as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, easily penetrating the scarlet mist and revealing the situation inside Mount Immovable.

……

At this moment.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Thousands of demon cultivators were mining ore in the valley's mines. They were all wearing special shackles, or else the ape demons in charge of guarding them would whip them.

Every now and then, demon cultivators would succumb to the excessive intensity and die of exhaustion in the mine.

Death is a common occurrence here.

Those enslaved demon cultivators gradually became accustomed to the tyrant's tyranny, daring not to speak out against his anger.

Deep inside the mine, a ragged young man with a handsome face was using a pickaxe to strike the incredibly hard mineral layer in front of him.

Not long after.

Another group of exploited and enslaved demon cultivators secretly surrounded him.

When Qin Ming's divine sense landed on him, he showed a look of extreme astonishment.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "It was him."

Seeing this, Qin Ming did not act rashly, but continued to observe secretly.

The demon cultivators, their feet shackled, all looked utterly miserable, with not a single part of their bodies unharmed.

The ragged young man was actually in a better situation.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, when will our plan begin?"

The demons below, seemingly unable to bear the humiliation under the tyrant's brutal rule, have secretly begun to plot their escape in small groups.

"The crimson mist of the Immovable Mountains can corrode the demonic power of those below the sixth rank, but I have already researched a way to resist it, and it is all recorded here."

"The tyrant returned from his trip and seemed to be brewing something big."

"Let's not delay, let's prepare to take action tonight."

The handsome man secretly transmitted his voice to the demons.

This person was none other than the 'White Scale Demon Lord' who ascended to the mortal realm earlier than Qin Ming. At this moment, his cultivation level had advanced from the early stage of the fifth rank to the late stage of the fifth rank.

However, judging from Qin Ming's appearance, he had probably become that tyrant's mining tool.

Mu Qingzi, who was with him, was nowhere to be found.

Besides.

Qin Ming's powerful divine sense also allowed him to see the legendary 'Tyrant' ferocious ape.

At this moment, he was sitting in a grand hall on Mount Immovable, resting with his eyes closed.

This creature has the head of a monstrous ape and the body of a human, its entire body covered in red fur. A hideous and terrifying scar runs along its right eye and half of its cheek, making it appear to be crawling like a centipede.

His body radiated powerful blood energy, indicating that he had already reached the sixth level of perfection.

If Qin Ming were to possess him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to continue disguising himself as the White Ape Demon General.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

Not far in front of the Tyrant Ferocious Ape, a video was floating in the void, showing the entire plan that Bai Lin Demon Lord and his group had just devised.

"Hmph! You overestimate yourself!"

"They're actually thinking of running away!"

Having said that, his entire body merged into the void and disappeared without a trace.

……

the other side.

Deep within the mine, after explaining the detailed plan to the demons, the White Scale Demon Lord was about to take action.

next moment.

He felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was watching him.

Bai Lin Demon Lord's expression hardened. As a former top demon cultivator in the human realm, he was extremely shrewd and immediately guessed that their plan had been exposed.

"Oh no, run for your lives!"

The demons cried out in alarm and tried to scatter and flee.

But then a loud 'boom' was heard, followed by a tremendous tremor that shook the earth, and a huge hole was blasted open in the ground.

The situation inside the mine was also revealed.

The Tyrant Ferocious Ape's towering figure appeared before the demons, its powerful aura causing all the cultivators present to tremble.

For a sixth-order perfected demon to kill them, it would be as easy as crushing an ant; there would be virtually no chance of survival.

The tyrannical ferocious ape couldn't stand anyone trying to escape its control, so it immediately struck out with its palm, sealing off the surrounding space and intending to crush the demons below into mincemeat.

But at this moment.

An incredible scene happened.

Just as its giant hand was about to fall, a divine mountain composed of four peaks of different colors suddenly descended from the sky and crashed directly into the tyrannical ferocious ape.

It sensed the danger above, but it was too late to react.

Rumble!
A violent impact rang out, and with the devastating blow of the falling sacred mountain, the Tyrant Ape was instantly slammed into the ground, its fate unknown.

The White Scale Demon Lord stared at the scene before him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

But when the dust settled, the figure of the tyrannical ape and the divine mountain that had descended from the sky had vanished without a trace.
After Qin Ming encountered an old friend from the mortal realm and saved his life, he did not choose to acknowledge him as a relative.

After all, he is now the commander-in-chief of the demon race.
