Chapter 181 Blood Curse Demon Vine
Inside the Private Room of the Scattered Alliance Magical Warship.
Qin Ming, having learned that even Alliance Leader Huo Qianqiu had Fallen, couldn't help but ask, "Ah? Alliance Leader Huo Fallen as well? Could it be that a Tier 3 Demon King has also appeared?"
Li Yuanqing instructed someone to serve Spirit Tea, personally pouring a cup for Qin Ming. Only then did he sigh, shake his head, and ask Qin Ming in return, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you still remember? Back when Thousand Leaf Island was in chaos, who was the biggest culprit?"
"Naturally, it was Zhao Wuyang, Zhao Wuji and the other Zhao Family remnants." Qin Ming answered almost subconsciously.
Speaking to this point, he suddenly reacted!
"Could it be that demonized Zhao Wuyang has returned again?"
Li Yuanqing nodded, "That's right! And this 'Zhao Wuyang' is no longer the same 'Zhao Wuyang', it's not just being demonized."
"But rather, it's been parasitized by a Tier 3 Demonized Variant, its Strength is terrifyingly extreme, within the entire Spirit Dwelling Islands Cultivation World, no one can withstand it. If it weren't for this Demonic Plant's reappearance, even facing a larger Beast Tide, our Scattered Alliance wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."
"Elder Zhou Ping and Alliance Leader Huo also encountered this Demon in a defensive battle, and that's how they met with misfortune, perishing in its maw."
Hearing this, Qin Ming was secretly alarmed in his heart. He had personally witnessed the possessed Zhao Wuyang before. That bizarre and unpredictable Mystical Power Strength, even a Pseudo-Core Old Ancestor could be easily killed, it was simply not something ordinary Cultivators could resist.
However, this was also similar to his previous guess, it turned out to be parasitized by a Demonized Demonic Plant.
"Alas! Elder Zhou Ping and Alliance Leader Huo both fought bravely to resist the Demonic Beasts, never expecting that they would die in vain at the hands of this Demon, truly tragic!" Qin Ming also sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Through a year-long Pill transaction with Zhou Ping, after getting to know him better, he still quite respected this person's integrity.
Although Zhou Ping wasn't doing it for some grand righteousness of the Cultivation World's survival, just for a sense of responsibility he bore, he dared to venture to the death line of the Spirit Dwelling Islands to transport Resources at great risk, without immediately choosing to run away like other Cultivators.
This was quite admirable.
Then he asked again:
"Then Fellow Daoist Li, are you clear on the origin of this Demonic Plant?"
Li Yuanqing, upon hearing this, revealed a trace of hatred on his steady face, "Speaking of which, all of this is the Zhao Family's fault."
"This Demonized Variant is called 'Blood Curse Demon Vine'. Its predecessor was originally a Mid Tier 3 Spirit Plant with considerable potential, and it spontaneously gave birth to Spirit Intelligence. After being soaked in the Demon Blood within the Demon Cave of Thousand Leaf Island, it gradually demonized into a Demon, and it can continuously advance in rank by specifically absorbing Cultivators' Essence Blood."
"Its growth rate is truly shocking. According to Information gathered, its current state has already reached a Cultivation comparable to the Peak Early Core Formation Stage."
Qin Ming curled his lips when he heard this, and couldn't help but think to himself: How is this a bit similar to my Life-Bound Spirit Plant Longevity Vine? "Originally, this Demonic Plant itself did not possess the ability to move, but after demonization, it can parasitize Cultivators or Demonic Beasts, relying on the host to move freely. The stronger the parasitized host, the stronger the Demonic Plant's ability."
"At first, the Blood Curse Demon Vine was parasitizing Pseudo-Core Old Ancestor Zhao Wuyang, but after the Beast Tide broke out, this Demonic Plant somehow found an Early Third-Order Howling Moon Demon King and secretly parasitized it."
"Now the entire Thousand Leaf Island has been reoccupied by this fiend, and it has gathered tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts under its command, entrenched on the Spirit Island, to hunt and kill Cultivators and collect Blood Food for it."
"The Zhao Family clearly knew that there was a Demon Cave remnant in Thousand Leaf Island, and that a Demon Vine was born, but they were blinded by greed, not only did they not report it, but they even vainly attempt to control this Demon."
"They have brewed such a disaster for the Cultivation World, truly deserving of ten thousand deaths!"
After listening to Li Yuanqing's words, Qin Ming also frowned tightly, never expecting the origin of this Blood Curse Demon Vine to be so significant.
He had actually learned from the Tier 3 Spirit Herb Master Heritage that some special Spirit Plants might directly transform into Spirit Treasures after maturing, or even awaken Spirit Intelligence, but such Spirit Plants were often rare to see.
Suddenly!
Just as he was recalling that Spirit Plant Master Heritage.
Qin Ming suddenly thought of something, and said with a solemn expression, "This is not good! This Demonic Plant entrenched on Thousand Leaf Spirit Island and not leaving, I'm afraid it has another purpose!"
Li Yuanqing was stunned upon hearing this.
The Information he had just spoken of was painstakingly collected at the cost of countless Cultivators' lives. Fellow Daoist Qin was able to discern the Demon's intentions just by listening to his account once? But then he thought about it again, the other party was a Spirit Plant Grandmaster famous throughout the Spirit Dwelling Islands Cultivation World, he wouldn't just spout nonsense.
So he hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you understand this Demon Vine? What is its purpose?"
"I don't know much about this Demon."
"But what I do know is that Spirit Plants above Mid Tier 3, once they give birth to Spirit Intelligence, will find an opportunity to produce their first batch of Spirit Seeds within a short period of time."
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"This Blood Curse Demon Vine should be preparing to breed Demon Seeds, waiting only for enough Blood Food, and new Demon Vines will be born!"
"The speed of Demon Seed condensation, varies depending on the potential Quality of the Spirit Plant itself, but it is generally within fifteen years."
"But there is good news, before the Demon Seed is born, this Blood Curse Demon Vine will not easily leave Thousand Leaf Spirit Island unless there is a special reason."
Just as Qin Ming's voice fell.
With a "clatter" sound.
The teacup in Li Yuanqing's hand unconsciously fell to the ground.
One Demon Vine was already unmanageable, if there were to be several more, wouldn't the Spirit Dwelling Islands be finished? "Fellow Fellow Daoist Qin, is what you said true?" Li Yuanqing asked nervously.
Qin Ming nodded extremely certainly, "It's most likely the case."
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, even Tier 3 Demonic Plants and other Demons have appeared, why are the Golden Core Ancestors of the Wei Kingdom Cultivation World not paying any attention to this?"
"And Azure Sea Immortal City over there, isn't there any support coming?"
Qin Ming was also extremely puzzled in his heart. Since the existence of the Demon Vine had been discovered, why not eliminate it as soon as possible? If one Golden Core can't defeat it, a group attack should be able to win, right?
Li Yuanqing smiled bitterly helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't know, this Beast Calamity is no small matter, all the major powers are completely exhausted, and it's difficult to free up manpower to take care of this side."
"I already reported this matter to Thunder Origin Sect and Azure Sea Immortal City as soon as I discovered it."
"But for some reason, there has been no response so far."
"Alas! Isn't this why I'm planning to go to Azure Sea Immortal City, to personally meet True Person Cang Hai and explain the seriousness of this matter."
Qin Ming nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, "I also happen to have something to go to Azure Sea Immortal City for."
"Then that's just perfect, Fellow Daoist Qin, let's go together." Li Yuanqing's expression eased a little, and he invited.
"Alright."
"By the way, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li on officially being promoted to Righteous Alliance Alliance Lord." Qin Ming said with a smile on his face, cupping his hands in congratulation.
Li Yuanqing revealed a helpless expression when he heard this, and smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't make fun of me, if Alliance Leader Huo hadn't Fallen, and there was no one to fill this Position, I would also be taking this Position with a brave face."
"Fellow Daoist Qin is a Grandmaster Alchemist, perhaps you've already noticed, my Cultivation was forcibly raised by Stage-Breaking Pills in a battle with Demonic Beasts, alas~"
"My foundation has been damaged, my Path of Cultivation ends here."
"..."
Ever since Li Yuanqing learned from Qin Ming that the Tier 3 Demon Vine would also split Demon Seeds in a short period of time, his entire Mental Focus became uneasy.
Qin Ming's words seemed to be truly Adding Insult to Injury to the other party.
The atmosphere in the Private Room also fell into silence.
For a time, Qin Ming didn't know how to comfort the other party. Even if he were to face a Tier 3 Demon Vine, he would only have the option to turn around and run, fundamentally powerless to change anything.
The Magical Warship flew through the Sky for a period of time, and did not encounter any difficult Demonic Beasts along the way.
More than two hours later.
They arrived at the sky above Azure Sea Immortal City. But the next scene.
Made everyone on the Magical Warship instantly astonished! Outside Azure Sea Immortal City.
Tens of thousands of Beast Tide were fearlessly, constantly assaulting the Upper Third Rank Grand Formation outside the Immortal City.
The Grand Formation emitted a blue Light Screen, from time to time dropping powerful Spells, landing among the Beast group below.
Rumble! Countless Low Rank Demonic Beasts instantly turned into a rain of blood.
"Kill!"
"Kill all these beasts!"
Outside Azure Sea Immortal City, dazzling Spells flew all over the Sky, Beast roars and Cultivators' killing cries shook the heavens, and the pungent smell of blood was everywhere.
Large numbers of Demonic Beasts were like a tide, wave after wave, seemingly inexhaustible.
Moo! Bang bang bang! Just at this moment.
The earth shook, accompanied by a earth-shattering roar, three enormous Demonic Beasts suddenly appeared in the Rear of the Beast group, more than ten zhang tall.
They were actually three Mountain Giant Elephants with thick earth Demon Power all over their bodies! The Great Demon Elephant stirred up a gust of wind, and began to run wildly towards the Cultivator crowd, its thick limbs trampling, its trunk sweeping, opening a berserk mode of rampaging straight ahead, regardless of friend or foe!
In an instant, Flesh flew, the scene was like a human hell.
"Ah!"
A Cultivator screamed, his whole body pierced through by an elephant tusk, his internal organs flowed out and he instantly lost his breath.
Several Cultivators showed terrified expressions, and just as they flew into mid-air, they were swept by the huge elephant trunk, a living person instantly broken into two pieces from the middle, shedding blood and falling down.
Even more Cultivators died tragically under the feet of the Mountain Demon Elephant, trampled to death alive.
Immediately afterwards, countless Demonic Beasts following behind swarmed up, like hungry jackals, frantically gnawing on the Cultivators' Corpses.
For Demonic Beasts, Cultivators' Flesh contained Spirit Qi, also a great tonic.
...
Qin Ming raised his eyes and looked at outside the city, his face full of shock! If it wasn't for this rare trip out, he wouldn't have known that the outside world had become chaotic to this point.
"Alas! Did I come out too early? I feel like I still need to go back to the Island and hide for a while..."
Li Yuanqing was also stunned in place, speechless for a long time.
He originally came to Azure Sea Immortal City to ask for reinforcements, but now looking at the scene before him, it would be a blessing if the Immortal City didn't ask him for help. Just then.
Among the Cultivator crowd on the city wall, a familiar figure appeared in Qin Ming's sight.
Lü Liang was holding a golden whisk Spirit Tool, entangled in a fierce fight with two Second Tier Early-Stage Leopard Scale Great Demons.
He saw him Casting hand seals and waving his hand, dozens of powerful golden practice from the whisk, beheading all the Demonic Beasts that surrounded him.
And hitting the abdomen of one of the Leopard Scale Beasts, sending it flying dozens of zhang away, "Bang!" it fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of smoke.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, two more Second Rank Great Demons with not weak Auras surrounded him.
Lü Liang was overwhelmed with complaints for a time.
"Ha!"
Not far from Lü Liang, a delicate shout sounded, and a graceful figure was seen driving a golden needle Spirit Tool, her figure twisting and turning, and the golden needle in her hand turned into countless golden rays, piercing towards a Scarlet Flame Demon Falcon opposite her.
It was also a Second Tier Early-Stage Great Demon.
Qin Ming fixed his eyes and looked, this woman was Lü Liang's beloved disciple Lü Wan Jun. Looking at the Magical Power Aura on her body at this time, she had already Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"So it's her? It seems she took the High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pill I helped her refine, and successfully advanced."
Chirp! Boom! The Scarlet Flame Demon Falcon let out a long cry from its mouth, sending out circles of Sound Waves attacks towards the surroundings.
Arc-shaped Sound Waves, like invisible sharp blades, rippled in the air, blood spurting wherever they passed, and some buildings nearby were instantly cut into countless pieces.
The attack from the golden needle Spirit Tool was directly shattered and disappeared by the Scarlet Flame Demon Falcon's Sound Waves.
Boom! Then the Demon Falcon's whole body emitted raging Scarlet Demon Flames, its wings burning with flames spread out, and it blasted a huge Fireball as thick as a bucket towards Lü Wan Jun, its Might terrifying! After Lü Wan Jun cast the Spell just now, the Magical Power on her body directly decreased by a bit. The golden needle Spirit Tool wobbled and flew back into her hand from mid-air.
Her brows furrowed, facing the incoming Fireball Spell as if facing a great enemy, she hurriedly took out a Second-Order Low-Grade protective Spirit Shield to protect her body.
Bang! Flames exploded in the Sky, Lü Wan Jun's figure flew out backwards, flying dozens of zhang away before staggering to steady herself.
Her face turned pale, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and there were several burns on her body, but she was wearing a Spiritual Robe inside, which resisted most of the Spell Power.
"Jun'er, retreat back into the city quickly!"
"This wave of Demonic Beasts is a bit abnormal!"
Lü Liang saw his beloved disciple injured, while fighting with the Demonic Beasts, he anxiously transmitted his voice to Lü Wan Jun.
Lü Wan Jun was not one to be pretentious, she was already on the verge of exhaustion. Hearing her master's words, she was about to retreat backwards.
But she saw that Scarlet Flame Demon Falcon in the Sky, with a fierce pounce, stirred up a gust of flames, stretched out a pair of steel-like claws, and grabbed towards Lü Wan Jun.
The situation was critical, Lü Liang was entangled by several Great Beasts and couldn't get away at all, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely! Just at this moment.
In a panic, Lü Wan Jun's gaze inadvertently glanced at a Magical Warship in the Sky not far away, where a familiar figure was standing.
She immediately showed joy and said, "Senior Adept Qin! Save me!"
Just as her voice fell.
A streak of Azure Escaping Light arrived in an instant, the person who came was Qin Ming.
Qin Ming couldn't help but smile wryly, originally seeing such a Situation, he was planning to observe the Situation first, and then take the opportunity to run away.
Unexpectedly, he was recognized by this girl at a glance.
"Uh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Qin, a Spirit Plant Master in the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, alas! Coming here is also useless..." Lü Liang showed a look of rejoicing at first when he saw someone coming to rescue him.
But after he saw clearly that it was Fellow Daoist Qin, he couldn't help but sigh.
Fellow Daoist Qin, as a Tier 2 Superior Grade Spirit Plant Grandmaster famous in Vast Sea Immortal City, his status and position were naturally highly respected.
But when it comes to actual Combat Method, Spirit Plant Masters were much worse, let alone against powerful Second Rank Great Demons! Clang! Qin Ming looked at the Scarlet Flame Demon Falcon swooping down, his eyes sharp! He pointed to the Sky, and pinched out an Azure Nether Sword Manual hand seals in his hand.
Chih! Azure rainbow light flashed and disappeared, turning into an Azure Nether Sword Qi more than ten zhang long.
With just one sword, he instantly sliced the Flame-Filled Demon Falcon in two from the middle, countless rain of blood fell from the Sky.
"Ah, this..."
Lü Liang was dumbfounded, looking at this scene just now, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly shouted to Qin Ming, "Fellow Daoist Qin! Quickly lend me a hand!"
