Chapter 140: Mutation! The Devil Ape Descends

In the sky, the black army of magic ships from the Seventy-two Islands Alliance once again headed towards Qianye Spiritual Island.

The deafening shouts of killing and the roar of the Dharma Boat’s cannons resounded throughout the Lingqi Islands.

Even on Moon-Watching Island, far in the north, one could faintly hear the sounds of war like the collapse of the sky and the tsunami.

The monks of the Wu family who were farming on Ling Island naturally heard something unusual and they all looked outside, each of them terrified.

Wu Jiang frowned and paced back and forth anxiously in the wooden house.

His father, Wu Hanyuan, also had a worried look on his face, fearing that the war would spread here at any time.

"Hey! Jiang'er, stop turning around. You're making me dizzy." Wu Hanyuan sighed.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "How about you send a few tribesmen out to find out what's going on outside?"

"I don't know anything here, and I always feel uneasy!"

Wu Jiang paused after hearing this and said hesitantly, "But Fellow Daoist Qin told me to go out less during this period of time to avoid any accidents."

"Well, you should ask Fellow Daoist Qin for instructions and see what he says."

"alright."

To be honest, Wu Jiang was also a little worried. After all, the clash between these major forces was no joke.

Although Wangyue Island has many safeguards, he is still not reassured.

So he came to the main peak and sent a communication talisman to Qin Ming inside.

After a few breaths, a gap appeared in the defensive formation and Wu Jiang immediately stepped in.

But when he saw the situation inside, he was completely stunned.

Qin Ming was seen sitting leisurely on a stone bench outside the cave, sipping tea and studying a book in his hands.

He looked as steady as an old dog, not panicking at all.

"How can Fellow Daoist Qin still be in the mood to drink tea and read books at this hour?" Wu Jiang secretly complained in his heart, but did not dare to show it.

Qin Ming saw him coming and asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist Wu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm sure you've heard the noise outside. This must be a big scene. How about I take some people out and investigate from a distance?" Wu Jiang asked.

Qin Ming pondered for a while after hearing this. He was not worried about the safety of Wangyue Island at all.

However, in order to prevent information from being too blocked, we still need to have some knowledge of the specific situation outside.

He immediately stood up and said to Wu Jiang, "Since Fellow Daoist Wu is worried, why not take someone to investigate?"

"However, the battle outside must be extremely fierce. If you are not careful, you may die."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, please be cautious in everything you do."

"Please inform me as soon as there is any latest news."

"If it really doesn't work, let's go back to the island. At least it's safe here."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he took out two defensive magic weapons and several life-saving talismans from the storage bag of some unlucky monk and handed them to Wu Jiang.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Qin!"

"Then I will quickly gather some people to get the job done."

Wu Jiang took the life-saving items with great gratitude, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

He immediately gathered several Wu family cultivators in the late stage of Qi training and went out of Wangyue Island to investigate the situation.

Qin Ming watched Wu Jiang and the others leave. Since they were working for him and the trip was quite dangerous, it was only natural for him to give them one or two magical instruments or talismans to save their lives.

He originally wanted to persuade Wu Jiang, but gave up. Wu Jiang's family didn't know the specific situation in the outside world, and they might not sleep well on the island.

……

Only half a day had passed.

News from Wujiang came back one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, as expected, the battle outside is extremely brutal."

“This time, I’m afraid the Zhao family of Qianye Spiritual Island will fall.”

"The coalition forces of the Sanmeng have broken through the third-level formation of Qianye Spirit Island."

"They are currently charging in, and there are also many monks who are taking advantage of the chaos to rob and join in the fun."

"Zhao Wuyang, the Zhao family's ancestor in the Fake Dan stage, has been held back by the Fake Dan ancestors of the other two of the seven major forces. I'm afraid that Lingyu Sect can't protect the Zhao family either." After hearing this, Qin Ming began to ponder. The other two ancestors who ended up in hand-to-hand combat must be in the same camp as Lei Yuanzong.

"So the Zhao family is really doomed."

As time went by, news from Wu Jiang kept coming back.

These were all news that the Zhao family had suffered a crushing defeat and were basically just fighting desperately.

The downfall of the family is only a matter of time.

The noise from the outside world, which had been so deafening, gradually faded away.

But just when Qin Ming thought that the Seventy-two Islands had disbanded their alliance and were about to take over Qianye Spiritual Island in one fell swoop.

Wu Jiang was seen running back to Wangyue Island in a panic and with a pale face.

Without stopping for a moment, he went straight to find Qin Ming.

He stammered as he told Qin Ming an even more shocking news.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Qin, there is an emergency."

“Just a while ago, the scattered alliance forces were about to wipe out the Zhao family of Qianye Spirit Island.

"The rear base of the Seventy-two Islands Alliance has suddenly suffered a shocking change. Following the Mu family, two more spiritual island foundation-building families have been massacred!"

“Even the ancestors in the late stage of foundation building were not spared. Their deaths were extremely tragic, and all of them had their hearts and lungs dug out.”

Qin Ming couldn't hold back after hearing this. He asked hurriedly, "Ah? Three families were slaughtered in a row. What happened?"

"Are there any clues about the murderer?"

Wu Jiang swallowed hard after hearing this, nodded and replied: "When the incident happened between the two families, many nearby cultivators saw it."

"The culprit who massacred three families was not a cultivator of the human race."

"It is a peerless monster that came out of the Beast Screaming Mountains - the Double Pupil Demon Ape."

"It is said that this beast has already reached the second-order perfection level, and only needs the last step to advance to the third-order demon king."

"His strength is unmatched, and he can even rival the Golden Core Ancestor."

"Someone witnessed with their own eyes that the ancestors of the two families, who were in the late foundation building stage, could not even withstand a punch from the demon ape before they died."

"..."

When Qin Ming heard this, his heart sank. A terrible guess suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately asked, "Is this big monster not looking for those three families for no reason?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how did you know?" Wu Jiang asked in surprise.

"That's right! According to the information I got, it was said that the ancestor of the Mu family and the ancestors of several other families once joined forces to kill a second-stage middle-stage white-armed ape in the Beast Singing Mountains."

"He is the only offspring of this double-pupiled demon ape."

"This time the demon ape came to the three families to avenge their descendants."

"The Mu family and the other two families probably never expected that there was a demon ape hiding deep in the mountains, quietly breaking through to the second stage of perfection."

Qin Ming: "..."

!!!

After hearing what the other party said, Qin Ming was already sweating profusely.
Isn't this a coincidence?

Now, the blood essence of the white-armed ape has entered his stomach and has been refined by him.
That extremely ferocious beast must not come after me, right?
Although the foggy illusion can even block divine thoughts, the double-pupiled demon ape was able to accurately find the three foundation-building families in the foggy mountains thousands of miles away. It was obvious that he had some special secret skill.

'Ouch! It's numb.'

"I will never leave the island until I reach the Golden Core Stage!"

Qin Ming had not expected that he would be involved with such a terrifying existence.

"What then?"

Wu Jiang saw that Qin Ming, who was always calm and composed, began to look unnatural, and then replied: "The demon ape was killing people in the rear of the scattered alliance. No one could stop it. The coalition forces also suffered heavy losses."

"The coalition forces had to send a portion of their forces back to defend the rear, and the two fake Dan ancestors also gave up chasing Zhao Wuyang and were forced to return to support."

"In the end, some of the Zhao family's core members took advantage of the opportunity and managed to escape."

Qin Ming sighed: "The Zhao family is really lucky. They have not been exterminated."
