Chapter 930 The Meritorious Devouring Rat
After hearing Frost Shadow's words, Devouring Sky Rat returned to the Little Spirit Realm in a daze.

The old demon Qingyang looked at it with a smile and teased, "Why do you stop walking when you hear that someone has a grandma at the Mahayana stage?"

"Aren't you the omnipotent mountain god?"

After calming himself down, the Devouring Rat sighed with emotion, "I never expected this young girl to have such a powerful background. I had no idea."

"How wonderful it would be if I had a mother-in-law who had reached the Mahayana stage."

"Well, with a chosen one like Master, I'll be able to rise to prominence sooner or later."

The little silver fox then came closer and said to the Devouring Sky Rat, "It's a good thing you ran out like that and weren't discovered by that powerful demon. If our master had found out, you would have been in big trouble."

"Hmph! And he's chatting so happily with that Soul Clan girl."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat shrank back and immediately put on a smiling face, saying, "I didn't run very far. If you don't tell and I don't tell, how will Master know?"

"Little Silver Fox, look how pitiful Frost Shadow is. Isn't this helping your master make a good connection?"

at this time.

Qin Ming's voice still came from the cave on the green mountain, speaking in a lecturing tone:
"Hmph! You're getting bolder and bolder. Do you think I don't know? I already noticed when we went out for the first time."

When the Devouring Rat heard that its secrets had been exposed, it couldn't help but feel a chill run down its spine.

next moment.

Its vision blurred, then the world spun around it, and Qin Ming grabbed the rat by the tail and lifted it up.

"Master, have mercy! I'll never do it again!"

The Sky-Eating Rat swayed upside down in mid-air, its will to survive at its peak.

When the little silver fox and Tian Ling'er saw its disheveled appearance, they immediately covered their mouths and chuckled.

blah blah blah!

Just then, something fell from the Devouring Rat's arms and landed on the grass, immediately catching Qin Ming's attention.

He casually tossed the Devouring Rat aside, and with a thought, he grabbed the wooden hairpin and began to examine it.

The wooden hairpin was extremely ancient, and it seemed to be made of some kind of high-grade spiritual wood.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to tell, but Qin Ming, as a seventh-level spirit plant master, had an extremely keen sense of plants and trees, and he immediately recognized that this thing was extraordinary.

The wooden hairpin has a unique sandalwood fragrance and an extremely simple design. Its surface is engraved with a rune using twisted patterns.

Qin Ming examined the wooden hairpin for a while, but couldn't figure out what it was about.

However, upon seeing this rune, the Old Demon Qingyang immediately fell into deep thought.

Suddenly.

He seemed to recall something and said with great surprise, "Could this be the Soul Clan's 'Soul Imprint Mark'? It is said to be a unique mark that carries the inheritance, and it can be said to be the most noble symbol of the ancient Soul Clan. Ordinary Soul Clan members are not qualified to obtain such an inheritance. Only those royal members of the direct bloodline of the Soul Clan are qualified to inherit the Soul Imprint."

"Judging from that Soul Clan girl, her background is definitely extraordinary. This item should be the most valuable thing. With this, young friend Qin might be able to obtain the greatest opportunity in the Soul Clan's secret treasure inheritance."

"According to this, the Devouring Sky Rat not only did nothing wrong, but by sheer coincidence, it brought you a great opportunity. If you are lucky enough, it might even allow you to obtain the opportunity to merge with the Heavenly Realm."

As Qingyang the Old Demon finished speaking, Qin Ming also showed an extremely surprised expression.

He never expected that the Devouring Sky Rat, by sheer chance, would obtain something from the widow of the Soul Clan that even a Nascent Soul stage expert would go to great lengths to get.

The Devouring Rat originally thought that Qin Ming was going to teach it a lesson, and it would inevitably suffer physical pain, or at the very least be sent to farm.

But upon hearing Qingyang the Old Demon's words, he quickly scrambled to his feet and exclaimed excitedly:
"So, Master, does that mean I've done a great service?"

Qin Ming held the wooden hairpin in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face. He glanced at the Devouring Rat with a strange look, then nodded and said:
"I didn't expect you to have such good luck, kid. I'll reluctantly give you credit for this."

"However, even with this Soul Seal in hand, it's probably not so easy to obtain this secret treasure of the Soul Clan."

"Besides, we don't even know where the treasure is now."

The Devouring Rat thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the Golden Ring Old Monster and the Renshui Ancestor hand Frost Shadow over to the Succubus Star? Could it be that she also wants to take Frost Shadow to the Void Spirit Clan to find treasures?"

"Yes, that's very likely. Otherwise, why would a dignified Demon Star be interested in a girl from another race?" Old Demon Qingyang stroked his beard and nodded.

Qin Ming put away the wooden hairpin, then pondered for a moment before saying to the Devouring Rat:
"I'm giving you a task next: continue to befriend Frost Shadow of the Soul Clan, and see if you can get some of his blood."

Upon hearing this, the Sky-Devouring Rat immediately perked up, its face beaming with joy as it said:

"Master, are you planning to save her?"

"I am quite interested in the Soul Clan's secret treasures. As for whether we can save her, let's talk about that later. After all, we are all struggling to protect ourselves right now." Qin Ming did not object.

Since the Kowloon Chamber of Commerce failed to complete its mission, it naturally could not obtain the promised opportunity to unite with them.

However, a new opportunity arose after a period of despair.

Several months later.

Following Qin Ming's instructions, the Devouring Rat actually used some spiritual herbs and fruits to trick and coax a few drops of Soul Clan blood from Frost Shadow.

Cold comes and summer comes.

Qin Ming has been cultivating on Demon Peak for ten years without realizing it.

For a powerful demon like Succubus Star, such a period of time was merely a snap of the fingers.

This demon lord was different from the demons Qin Ming had encountered before. He was extremely low-key and rarely cared about outside affairs, living a secluded life.

This meant that Qin Ming never had the chance to leave Demon Peak.

However, things took a turn for the better on this day.

Several enormous demonic ships sailed in from the distant demonic realm, and two squads of demonic generals clad in dark demonic armor disembarked, all of them at the Void Refinement stage.

Qin Ming perked up at the sight, as very few people visited the Demon Peak of this great snow mountain.

This is the first time in ten years.

Perhaps the time when he leaves this place is not far off.

The leading demon general descended the mountain, bowed respectfully towards the direction of Demon Peak, and then said, "Lord Succubus Star, the situation on the Sky Ridge Mountain battlefield has made a breakthrough. Next, representatives of our Holy Race will discuss future plans in the Demon Dragon City. The Demon Commander has sent us to welcome you to take charge of the overall situation."

After the demon general finished speaking, he immediately dared not straighten up and waited for a response from the demon peak.

This shows that these demons have a deep reverence for the Succubus Star, and dare not disobey in the slightest.

A moment of silence followed. After a long while...

The Succubus Star's reply rang in everyone's ears: "I don't have time to deal with these things. Hasn't that Power Star been quite active lately? Let him take charge."

Upon hearing this, the demon generals were at a loss for words.

The competition among the demons is also extremely fierce, especially among those who can advance to the Twelve Demon Stars, all of whom are valiant heroes who have fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Therefore, the relationship between them is extremely delicate. Caught between these powerful beings, they could be shattered to pieces at any moment, not even knowing how they died.

"Reporting to Lady Succubus, in addition to our clan's upcoming strategic plans, we have received orders from the Holy Realm to open the Dark Demon Abyss ahead of schedule in preparation for the future arrival of the Holy Ancestor. Therefore, we need your assistance."

Upon hearing this, even Qin Ming, who was hiding in the Lesser Spirit Realm, frowned.

From what he heard from the reports of these demon generals and the succubus star, it was clear that the demon faction had the upper hand.

"Master, is the Demon Race really planning to unify the Spirit Realm? They're even preparing to descend upon the realm at the Saint Ancestor level."

"If this really succeeds, won't we be unable to return to Little Turtle Peak?"

"The Sky-Eating Rat said with considerable worry."

After pondering for a while, the old demon Qingyang said, "In my opinion, that's not necessarily true. Even for a demon ancestor-level figure to descend into the spirit realm, there are many limitations, and the price to pay is even greater."

"Only when the demon invasion is nearly over and the real decisive battle begins will those old guys hiding behind the scenes be able to make their move."

Therefore, it won't come down anytime soon; it will take at least tens of thousands of years.

"However, according to that little demon brat, they are probably going to build a summoning array in the abyss of that demon dragon city. Although they can't bring down the main body of the Demon Ancestor, it is very possible for his avatar to descend to the spirit world."

"This was the case in ancient times when the demon realm invaded the human world."

Listening to the old demon Qingyang speak so eloquently, the Devouring Rat couldn't help but ask in bewilderment, "Old Demon, tell me honestly, are you actually a demon in disguise? How come you know so much about the demon race as if it were your own family's affairs?"

"Hehe! I can't explain what I've been through to you in a short time. Some things will become clear when the time comes. As for now, there's nothing we can change. After all, the great calamity of the alien races that occurs once every few hundred thousand years is an inevitable trend." The old demon Qingyang chuckled and said to it meaningfully.

"This is outrageous! Even a Demon Star at the peak of the Fusion Realm is being forced to leave the mountain."

"Once she leaves, young friend Qin can lead us on another runaway trip, and we can also go to the Void Spirit Clan to seek opportunities."

The Devouring Rat was itching to know what was going on when it heard the Old Demon Qingyang keeping it a secret.

But upon hearing the last part, he immediately showed excitement and agitation.

It's not interested in anything else, but when it comes to precious opportunities, it's all about seizing them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing, who was swimming and playing in Linghu Lake, also ran over excitedly.

The master and servants were also drawn to the outside world and were ready to leave at any moment.

On the Ice Crystal Demon Peak, as the Demon General finished his report, the demonic energy at the summit surged and condensed directly into dark ice crystal rhombuses.

Then, the figure of a stunningly beautiful woman in purple appeared out of thin air and arrived in the void outside Demon Peak.

The moment the Succubus Star appeared, her powerful spiritual pressure caused all the demon generals to tremble and hastily prostrate themselves in worship:

"Greetings, Lady Succubus!"

"Since the matter of building the reception platform cannot be avoided, I will have to go there in person. However, I have other important matters to attend to and will not stay for long."

The undeniable voice of the Succubus Star fell.
Before leaving, she glanced at the ice peak, gave a few words to the Frost Shadow of the Soul Clan, and then her figure blurred and disappeared.
The crew members on those demon ships were immediately relieved, carefully got up, and then steered their ships away.

"We've finally waited for this moment!"

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Upon seeing the Succubus Star leave with the demon cultivators, Qin Ming immediately prepared to take the opportunity to escape.

His divine sense, comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had already detected that the succubus star had moved far away and reached a safe distance.

next moment.

A ripple spread through the surrounding space, twisting and writhing, before revealing the figures of Qin Ming and his servant.

The Devouring Rat transformed into a gray-furred mouse, perched on Qin Ming's shoulder, its gaze lingering longingly towards the mountaintop.

Behind the barrier, a white figure peered through the light screen, her eyes filled with longing as she gazed at the Devouring Rat and Qin Ming.

"Master, that Frost Shadow is truly pitiful. We were acquainted after all. Her fate in the hands of the demons is sure to be grim."

"How about we take her with us?"

The Devouring Rat mustered its courage and stared longingly at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming revealed a strange smile, reached out and patted its head, saying, "You rascal, it seems like your soul has been bewitched by that Soul Clan girl?"

"I have my own plans, and of course I won't abandon her. After all, the Soul Clan's secret treasure might still require her cooperation."

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Rat was overjoyed and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the mountain peak, almost afraid of being a step too slow.

"Frostshadow, I'm coming to save you!"

It was incredibly proactive, and immediately began to use its bloodline powers to break the restrictions.

After much pleading and cajoling, the Devouring Rat finally managed to break through the isolation barrier set up by the Succubus Star.

Shuangying was surprised to see that the Devouring Sky Rat was really going to save her from the Demon Clan, but when she saw that a young human cultivator had also appeared, she also showed a look of surprise.

"Mountain God...this...this..."

Before Shuangying could even react, the Devouring Rat pulled her into the Desolate Realm.

"At a time like this, what's the point of talking about mountain gods?"

"I am a celestial attendant under the command of the Azure Emperor. I came specifically to save you from your suffering after hearing your prayer."

"You'll stay here from now on. Once I find that Mahayana-stage grandmother, I'll send you back."

When Frost Shadow of the Soul Clan entered the Desolate Realm, he was also deeply shocked.
……

Qin Ming then summoned the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, transforming into a silver streak of light that disappeared into the void, flying towards the direction of the Void Spirit Clan.

Just as he left, the Succubus Star, who had already arrived at the Demon Dragon City, suddenly sensed something and immediately turned around and headed back towards the Great Snow Mountain.

In just a short while, she returned to Ice Crystal Demon Peak. Looking at the barrier with a hole broken in it, she was not angry at all, but instead revealed a strange smile.
