Chapter 686 A strange combination of circumstances
In the forbidden area behind the Wang family mountain.

When the three members of the Wang family heard what Jiuling Yuanzun said, they couldn't hold it in anymore.

The Wang family ancestor immediately said, "What?! You want to go out?"

"This is the area around the main city of the human race. There are often sky-patrolling mirrors for surveillance. If the whereabouts of the Saint are exposed, I'm afraid it will be a bit inappropriate."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the nine-headed giant lion opposite him: "This saint has his own way to conceal his aura, and this matter is related to the key to my breakthrough, so I must leave for a while."

"Whether I can successfully advance to the sixth-level demon god this time depends entirely on this person."

"Then may I ask, Holy Lord, who are you looking for? Let us have an idea." The three gods of the Wang family saw that Jiuling Yuanzun was determined to do so, so they asked.

"I'm sure you all are familiar with this person. He is Ling Tianjun, a casual cultivator at the level of Lianxu from Tianyuan Valley." The nine green lion heads of Jiuling Yuanzun said in unison.

The three members of the Wang family were extremely surprised when they heard this and could not help but look at each other.

"Lord Lingtian? This..."

The ancestors of the Wang family were also hesitant. They were not worried that their offerings would run away with others.

After all, when the Wang family worshipped Jiuling Yuanzun, they signed a three thousand year spiritual contract with the other party.

But they couldn't understand why the demon king they worshipped knew the God of Lianxu?

"It's a long story. I had some connection with him in the past, so I won't waste time talking to you. Anyway, Ling Tianjun has a crucial treasure in his hand, which is enough to enable me to successfully advance to the sixth-level demon god realm."

When Jiuling Yuanzun said this, a ball of green demonic energy emerged from his body. His huge body changed and instantly transformed into a burly middle-aged man with a green face, wearing a python robe with fish scale patterns.

A pair of eyes as sharp as knives, revealing a sense of evil in his bones.

"Asking you to collect blood food is indeed too risky, so I have no choice but to try another method."

Obviously Jiuling Yuanzun seemed to be aware that if there were too many human cultivators who were involved in blood sacrifices, they would be exposed sooner or later.

After he transformed into a human, he was too lazy to explain anything to the people of the Wang family. Instead, his figure became blurred and he flew out of the valley.

He did not take the three gods of the Wang family seriously at all.

Only three people from the Wang family were left standing there, looking extremely unhappy.

"Hmph! Does this guy really think he can be so arrogant just because he broke through to the sixth level? If it weren't for the ancestor who saved this beast from the brink of death, he would not even be where he is now!" Wang Yunhai cursed with gritted teeth.

The old ancestor of the Wang family had a wrinkled face and his eyes flickered as he said, "Let this beast hop around for a while. When he reaches the sixth level, that will be the day for this ancestor to make a wedding dress!!"

There was no longer the respect in his words.

"Clan leader, you mean that the Demon Yuan Sacrifice Spiritual Technique has been completed!"

Wang Tianxuan, an elegant middle-aged man standing aside, said with a somewhat moved expression.

"That's right. This Sky-Swallowing Hound, relying on its superior cultivation and magical powers, is trying to control humans with its beasts and turn the Tiangang over to control our Wang family. This is simply wishful thinking." The Wang family ancestor said calmly, "It's a pity that I have been planning for so many years, how could it be in vain."

“It is still unknown who will advance to the Void Refining stage first by then!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an aura of perfect spiritual enlightenment suddenly spread from his body, and then he grabbed with his five fingers, and the power of the five elements of black, white and red descended into the valley, sweeping away all traces of the corpses inside. It was cleared away in an instant, leaving no trace.

Wang Tianxuan and Wang Yunhai were extremely excited when they saw this scene. They quickly bowed and congratulated him, "Congratulations to the clan leader for breaking through to the perfect realm and achieving great success in his magical power!"

The people of the Wang family had been worried before. Even with the spiritual contract document, the Sky-Swallowing Hound might rebel against the Wang family and get out of their control in the future.

But no one expected that the ancestor of the Wang family had already planned everything in secret, and even tampered with the blood food and the spiritual contract.

This 'Demon Yuan Sacrifice Spirit Method' is a secret method that their Wang family's ancestor accidentally discovered, and it is specifically used against monsters.

After feeding the monster with blood food refined with secret methods, and then waiting for the monster to make a breakthrough, you can secretly activate this technique, and the monster's soul will be sacrificed immediately.

And the essence of one's cultivation will be transformed into a great pill of essence and spirit!
By combining this substance with several rare spiritual materials, one can refine a blood pill that is comparable to the opportunity of refining the void. Although it is not as good as the real "Yin Yang Guixu Pill", the side effects after taking it are quite serious.

However, it can also increase the probability of the five elements combining into one by 10% or 20%, which is something that can only be encountered by chance.

The Wang family's ancestors were also making a lot of calculations, each with their own ulterior motives.

……

the other side.

Jiuling Yuanzun transformed into a human form, disguised himself and restrained his breath, and flew straight towards the direction of Tianyuan Valley.

With his current level of cultivation, as long as he doesn't run into Elder Lianxu of Tianxing City, no one else will be able to see through him.

A few days later.

Jiuling Yuanzun arrived near Tianyuan Valley and then casually sent a communication talisman into the valley.

Lean less.

A startling rainbow shot out from the valley, revealing Ling Tianjun dressed in a black and white jade robe.

"Hehehe! Fellow Daoist Ling, it's been a long time since we last met! Why do you look a little unwell?"

Jiuling Yuanzun first gave him an evil smile, and then he noticed that there was something wrong with the other party's aura.

When Ling Tianjun saw that it was Jiuling Yuanzun who came, his expression changed involuntarily, and he asked in surprise: "Why is it you? Didn't Fellow Daoist Shan die?"

"As his spiritual pet, you should also sit and die together."

The 'Fellow Daoist Shan' he mentioned was originally a fellow Daoist in the Void Refinement Stage, whose cultivation was even higher than his.

Jiuling Yuanzun replied calmly: "This Saint has his own trump card to escape, how could he possibly die with that old guy?"

"But I paid a price for this. My cultivation level dropped back to the fifth level. Now I come here to make a deal with you, Fellow Daoist Ling."

"Oh? Because of our past friendship with Fellow Daoist Shan, I can promise you one thing, but you have to tell me everything that happened over the years first." Ling Tianjun thought for a moment and agreed.

Afterwards, he opened the formation outside the cave and invited the other party in.

Jiuling Yuanzun did not waste any time and immediately told Ling Tianjun the key parts of what had happened over the years.

After listening to this, Ling Tianjun glanced at the other party with a strange look on his face.

“I never thought that the Heaven-Swallowing Hound, who had followed Fellow Daoist Shan to dominate the world of immortal cultivation, would actually be willing to serve as a sacrificial spirit beast in a divine family.”

"Humph! That's not because I want to recover my cultivation. I'm forced to do so. How can a few Transformed Gods be in my eyes? I'm just using them." Jiuling Yuanzun snorted and asked unconvincedly, "Fellow Daoist Ling, I see that you look so damaged, you can't be much better, right?"

"This Saint also wants to know, who could have caused you, the Refining Void Divine Lord, to suffer such a great loss?"

"By the way, don't you have a famous disciple? Where are the others?"

After hearing this, the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped.

Obviously, his words touched upon Ling Tianjun's wounds.

But he still said coldly: "Dead."

"Ah?" Jiuling Yuanzun was also stunned.

Ling Tianjun immediately explained the reason of the matter to Jiuling Yuanzun.

"I didn't expect that there would be a hidden powerful person near Tianxing City." Jiuling Yuanzun was also surprised after hearing this, and was glad that he did not continue to take the risk of collecting blood food to break through his cultivation.

"Could it be that it is a powerful combination of the human race?"

Ling Tianjun shook his head. "I don't know exactly, but the other party didn't want to kill me. It should have nothing to do with that kid. He was just passing by. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you." "By the way, why did you come all the way to see me?"

Jiuling Yuanzun immediately said, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Ling and that old fellow go into the Taichu Secret Realm to search for treasures and obtain a piece of animal bone that contained a sixth-level pill formula?"

"This item is very useful to me. I wonder if you can trade it to me. Please feel free to state the conditions."

"The situation in the secret realm was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to tell you."

"Uh, that thing? Ling is not very proficient in the art of alchemy, so I sold it at the auction in Tianxing City more than ten years ago." Ling Tianjun said with some surprise.

"Ah?!" Upon hearing that the animal bones had been sold, Jiuling Yuanzun's burly body suddenly stood up.

"Why did you sell it?"

Jiuling Yuanzun was a little agitated, and his chest was heaving.

"Ling, I didn't know that this item was so important to you. Alas! But I do know where it went. It is said that it was finally exchanged by the casual cultivator from the Little Turtle Peak next door, and he has already refined the sixth-level divine pill recorded on it - 'Blood and Soul Nirvana Pill'."

"Not only that, he also helped him subdue a rat demon and awaken its high-level bloodline, and he advanced to the fifth-level demon master realm in one fell swoop."

Ling Tianjun's eyes moved slightly, and then he continued: "My good disciple Wu Kui died at the hands of this man, and he even broke one of Ling's life treasures. This is why I was seriously injured."

Hearing this, Jiuling Yuanzun frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, you are not trying to fool me, are you? Even if you don't want to exchange treasures with me, you don't need to make up such an outrageous story to fool me."

"What Ling said is true. If you don't believe me, I can swear on my heart that the casual cultivator of the Spiritualization Realm is no ordinary person and must have a big secret!" Ling Tianjun said with some hatred, "He is only in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, but he has the power of the Void Refining Realm. He was even able to fight with me for a few moves, and finally escaped from my hands."

"When Ling was tracking this person, he was stopped by that powerful man."

Jiuling Yuanzun on the opposite side stared at the changes in Ling Tianjun's expression. He could even say the oath of Tao Heart, which meant that he did not deliberately deceive her.

"There are actually such casual cultivators."

"Fellow Daoist Jiu Ling, how about this, since both you and I have something to ask of this person, why don't we cooperate?"

Next, the two of them began to conspire in the cave.
……

the other side.

Li Changqing has already sent the information to an elder in Tianxing City.

After receiving the report, two Lianxu elders from Tianxing City personally led a team to Yunmeng Mountain to deal with the matter.

But when they arrived at Yunmeng Mountain, they turned the entire Wang family's house upside down, but they did not find the so-called blood food or monster offerings.

In the end, there was no substantial evidence and Tianxing City could not do anything to the Wang family, so it had to order a retreat.

The three gods of the Wang family couldn't help but break out in cold sweats when they saw the departing star guards of Tianxing City.

“Fortunately, the Holy Lord went out and the clan leader cleared the forbidden area in the back mountain, otherwise it would be a big trouble.” Wang Tianxuan said with lingering fear.

They never expected that Tianxing City had already received the intelligence and launched a surprise investigation.

It happened that Jiuling Yuanzun was out, and the Wang family luckily escaped the disaster.

From then on, the people of the Wang family restrained their actions and notified Jiuling Yuanzun who was outside.

……

Inside Xiaogui Peak.

After Qin Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He held the jade slip in his hand and asked Baili Hui beside him, "How could it be that Tianxing City didn't find anything?"

"Maybe the place where the Wang family worships the monster beast is not in Yunmeng Mountain, but somewhere else."

Baili Hui did not expect that after receiving the intelligence, the star guards went to the Wang family immediately, but still came up empty-handed.

"When Tingyu Tower learned about the Wang family's secret, why didn't it report it to the human race's top leaders?" Qin Ming asked.

Baili Hui laughed dryly and replied, "I came across this Tingyu Tower when I was traveling. It is affiliated with one of the few shady intelligence organizations in the spirit world, so... hehe!"

Qin Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"The Wang family must have been completely alerted. You should all be careful."

"Hehe! Master, there is no need to worry about this. As far as I know, although Tianxing City did not catch any handle on the Wang family this time, it did not stop the investigation and has already kept a close eye on the entire Yunmeng Mountain. If anyone dares to make any unusual movements, a catastrophic disaster will be waiting for the Wang family." Baili Hui said with a smile.

Qin Ming's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he held his chin and said slowly: "So, this wave of reporting is still effective."

He immediately asked Baili Hui and Mo Lingwei to continue to pay attention to and gather intelligence from outside.

……

at the same time.

Ling Tianjun and Jiuling Yuanzun waited outside Xiaogui Peak for several months without seeing any movement.

Jiuling Yuanzun was getting impatient waiting and couldn't help wondering, "No, why is this kid hiding inside and not coming out?"

"Why not just knock on the door?"

"The formation this kid has set up is quite tricky. It's a fifth-grade top-grade offensive formation. Even if you and I try to break it by force, it will take some effort. But support from Tianxing City will arrive soon." Ling Tianjun said with a flash in his eyes.

Jiuling Yuanzun asked: "What should we do then?"

“If you keep waiting, I don’t believe that this kid will stay here and never go out for the rest of his life, unless he doesn’t want to break through again.” Ling Tianjun said coldly.

So, the two of them hid secretly on the outskirts of the spiritual land of Xiaogui Peak.

……

This day.

On top of the main peak of Xiaogui Mountain.

Qin Ming was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, and Sky-Devouring Rat was kneading and massaging his shoulders attentively.

Beside them were Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling'er, burning incense and brewing tea, serving attentively.

Life is so carefree.

But the next moment.

Qin Ming's mind suddenly moved and he stood up from the bamboo chair.

The Sky-Eating Rat immediately asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

next moment.

Qin Ming's gaze turned towards the interior of the cave at Xiaogui Peak, where a giant gray egg was placed.

For hundreds of years, he has been continuously watering the Sky-Devouring Rat with the essence and blood of the Fifth-Rank Demon Lord.

He also followed the secret method taught by the old demon Qingyang and used his own blood and essence to sign a master-servant spiritual contract with him.

And just now, an inexplicable mental sensation came from inside.

"That true spirit egg is finally coming out!"
