Ch 139: The Mu Clan’s Demise

The days of cultivation always pass quickly.

This day.

Qin Ming was in the Immortal’s Cave, refining a special Pill—a Second Grade Mid-Grade Pill, the ‘Hundred Illusion Pill’.

Its main ingredient was the Second-Rank Top-Grade Spirit Plant, the Mist Illusion Mushroom, supplemented by a dozen other rare Spirit Materials.

After taking the Hundred Illusion Pill, a cultivator could change their form and appearance, transforming into any appearance and figure, and could maintain this for about seven days, undetectable by those below the Golden Core Stage.

Qin Ming focused his attention, dispelling distractions, controlling the Devouring Spirit Poison Flame, and methodically refining the Pill.

After half an hour.

A sweet Pill fragrance emanated from the Black Jade Furnace.

Qin Ming raised his hand and took eight purple Spirit Pills into his hand.

He picked up one of the Pills, examined it, and then unhesitatingly put it into his mouth and consumed it.

In an instant.

Qin Ming’s entire aura changed, transforming into a dark-skinned Bearded Man.

“Hehe! It’s really quite magical.”

“Su Yuqing really has access to all sorts of strange and bizarre Pill Recipes.”

Qin Ming hadn’t gone out for a long time.

He planned to personally Visit Tianhe Marketplace to Inquire about the current Situation of the Lingxi Archipelago.

However, the matter of the Mist Illusion Realm appearing in Moon Gazing Lake some time ago had caused quite a Movement.

He still decided to Disguise himself to avoid causing unnecessary Trouble.

After leaving the Immortal’s Cave, Qin Ming communicated with the Silver-Winged Frost Bee using his Willpower.

Whoosh!

A silver Stream of Light flashed, and a Silver-Winged Frost Bee emerged from the Honeycomb on the Longevity Vine.

Then its Figure grew larger, becoming the size of a calf.

The Silver-Winged Frost Bee flapped its Wings and stopped in front of Qin Ming.

He leaped up and sat on the Spirit Bee’s back.

“Let’s go!”

Swish!

A silver Stream of Light cut through the Sky, instantly disappearing.

The Black Water Crocodile, upon seeing this, sent a Message to Qin Ming’s Mind, looking like it also wanted to go out.

“You stay here and guard the home, don’t run around.”

Then Qin Ming threw a Nieling Pill to it, and the Black Water Crocodile, with a big mouth, inhaled and the Pill fell into its mouth.

Shaking its head and then diving into the Lake Bottom again to digest the Medicinal Strength.

Then.

Qin Ming, riding the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, arrived above the Lingxi Archipelago, and his Gaze looked downwards.

He saw that the once Lively and prosperous Islands had become desolate under the baptism of War.

Many Spirit Island Clans had left their homes and fled elsewhere.

Some of the Spirit Islands were even half destroyed.

Compared to these Spirit Islands, only Qin Ming’s Moonview Island still remained completely intact.

Soon.

Qin Ming, transformed into the Bearded Man, arrived near Tianhe Marketplace, and he put the Silver-Winged Frost Bee into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

Then he concealed his Aura to Qi Refining Realm Perfection, before landing.

The Guards at the entrance of Tianhe Marketplace had also increased, and they were strictly scrutinizing the cultivators entering the Marketplace to prevent undesirable figures from infiltrating.

After an examination, Qin Ming paid five Spirit Stones and entered the Marketplace.

The Breaking Restriction Mirror in the Guard’s hands also failed to reveal Qin Ming’s Disguise.

Because entering the Marketplace provides a certain level of Safety compared to the outside.

Therefore, the Popularity in Tianhe Marketplace was still very high; the Streets were crowded, and the calls of vendors selling all sorts of wares were incessant.

Qin Ming casually found a Restaurant on the Street, ordered Small Dishes, and started drinking.

He came to this Restaurant frequently; it was a gathering place for All Sorts of People, with cultivators of all types.

A lot of the News could be inquired here.

He stayed for the majority of the night and finally Inquired some useful News.

“Sigh～”

“I don’t know how long this War will last; it’s endless.”

“The Spirit Stones in Old Man’s pocket are about to give out.”

“It’s coming soon, I’ll let you in on some News.”

“I’m afraid the Zhao Clan is really going to be finished this time.”

“Ah?! No way?”

“Could it be that the Alliance has purchased another Third-Order Breaking Restriction Talisman?”

“No! I heard from the people inside the Alliance that their High-Level recently invited a very powerful High Grade Formation Master and is preparing to use a formation-breaking-a-formation Method to break the last Barrier of Thousand Leaves Island.”

“Is that so? Do you know exactly which Formation Master it is?”

“That’s not right, to break a Third-Order Great Formation, that would require a Formation Master who could also set up a Third-Rank Formation, right?”

“But I have never heard of such a Figure in the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World?”

“I don’t know the specifics either, but I heard them say that this time, their Certainty is extremely high.”

When Qin Ming heard this, his Eyebrows could not help but furrow, which made him think of a person with extremely high Formation Attainment.

That is the Demonic Overlord—Lin Zixiao.

The High-Level of the Seventy-Two Island Alliance, could they not be scrupling at all in order to Defeat the Zhao Clan and choose to Colluding with the Demonic Path?

Because he knew long ago that Lin Zixiao had already begun to be active around the Lingxi Archipelago and Canghai Immortal City.

If it was he who was breaking the Formation, then it was indeed Possible.

“That’s right, besides this matter.”

“There is another extremely Shocking Matter; I heard that two days ago, the Mu Clan of Qilian Mountain was exterminated.”

“No one survived in the entire Clan, only some Clan Members who were outside survived, and at the time of the incident, even a single Message for help wasn’t sent out.”

“If someone hadn’t Visited the Mu Clan yesterday, they wouldn’t have known that the Mu Clan was all dead.”

“I heard that even Mu Yuanshan, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Old Ancestor of the Mu Clan, had Fallen.”

“The Scene was gruesome, and almost no complete Corpse could be seen.”

Such a Shocking News was revealed, attracting the cultivators at several nearby tables to gather around.

Originally, they were just listening like Qin Ming, but upon hearing about the Slaughter and Extermination of the Clan, they could no longer remain seated.

“Fellow Daoist, please explain the tragic event in detail.”

“I’ll treat you to this meal.”

“Fellow Daoist, are you not exaggerating? The Mu Clan’s Strength was so Powerful, how could they be easily exterminated?”

“That’s right, the Mu Clan’s Old Ancestor’s Strength was extremely Powerful, even after his son’s loss, there were still two Foundation Establishment Mid Stage members, as well as several Foundation Establishment Early Stage Experts within their Clan.”

“Such a Powerful Lineup, combined with the Mu Clan’s Second Grade Formation, if they were exterminated…”

“Then how Powerful must the enemy’s Strength Exactly be?”

“It’s absolutely true! The people of the Alliance are already investigating, and News will probably be released in the next two days.”

“Such a Major Event, it can’t be hidden anyway.”

As soon as this was said.

The cultivators present inhaled a breath of cold air, and Dark Clouds began to Envelop everyone’s Heart.

Qin Ming’s Heart also stirred a wave of unrest; he originally just wanted to Inquire about the recent Situation, but unexpectedly he learned of such an Unexpected News.

You must know, Mu Yuanshan was the one he personally sent on his journey.

But who has such a Great Hatred with the Mu Clan?

Could it be Lin Zixiao and his group?

Immediately he denied this Idea; although Lin Zixiao had broken through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage and his Strength was Powerful.

But based on Qin Ming’s understanding of him.

He was absolutely unable to Slaughter the entire Mu Clan silently.

In an instant, the Situation of the Lingxi Archipelago became Intrigue again.

‘Forget it, I’ll go back to my Moonview Island.’

‘Too chaotic.’

Qin Ming Inquired some useful News, but these two pieces of News were indeed too Shocking.

Then, he settled his bill and Left the Shop.

After leaving Tianhe Marketplace, Qin Ming released the Silver-Winged Frost Bee and flew back quickly.

After returning to the Island, he restored his Original Appearance, and then he summoned Wu Jiang and instructed, “Fellow Daoist Wu, if you don’t have any other Major Events recently, then temporarily don’t leave the Island.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, rest assured!”

“Without your Agreement, I will stay on the Island during this time and not go out; it just so happens that the Spirit Fields have also started to become busy,” Wu Jiang immediately Agreed.

Because he usually rarely sees Qin Ming with such a grave expression.

Apparently, the external Situation was severe, and a Major Event might happen.

After three days of Peace.

Qin Ming received the Message Talisman sent by Aunt Long from Mirror Snow Pavilion.

He carefully browsed the Information above.

“Guest Elder Qin, just a moment ago, the Seventy-Two Island Alliance had actually thought of a Method and broke the last Third-Order Great Formation of Thousand Leaves Island.”

“The Final Battle is about to begin.”
