Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

After killing the fifteen small centipede demon puppets, Jiang Shi released the three-headed demon wolf and let it begin to devour the corpse left behind by Xu Jun.

The corpse of a great cultivator can serve as nourishment for the three-headed demonic wolf. Once it has devoured enough, it might have a chance to elevate the demonic puppet's cultivation level.

Therefore, Jiang Shi never lets go of any corpse of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Moreover, in this secret realm, letting corpses fall to the ground will provide flesh and blood for the demonic puppets existing within.

These fifteen small centipede demon puppets were probably activated because they devoured the flesh and blood of some powerful cultivator.

Jiang Shi took Xu Jun's storage bag. This battle didn't take much effort, but he gained a lot. He made a huge profit from those eighteen fire-patterned silver rings alone.

Jiang Shi put the Flaming Silver Ring into his storage bag, then floated into the air and sped away into the distance.

Along the way, Jiang Shi tried to find out where Lu Chuanxing and Ouyang Yu were, but to no avail.

Lu Chuanxing's superior-grade magic artifact, the Mountain and Sea Banner, has the ability to conceal his whereabouts and aura, making it undetectable to ordinary great cultivators.

Although Jiang Shi possesses powerful spiritual sense, he has not cultivated any pupil techniques or spiritual sense secrets, and is not skilled in tracking and tracing.

After flying for a while, Jiang Shi suddenly sensed some unusual activity ahead.

Jiang Shi slowed down his flight speed and became alert.

He moved forward slowly, wanting to first scout out the situation.

Whether to fight or retreat depends on the situation.

Ahead, two brocade-clad cultivators floated in mid-air, chatting and laughing.

"Senior brother, it seems you don't need to do anything. Guard Liu has already taken care of all these little centipedes," the female cultivator said.

"Eight mere Foundation Establishment stage mid-stage demonic puppets are nothing for me to handle." The cousin was very confident; he had great faith in his own strength.

Soon, the guard Liu they were talking about had finished the battle and flew over.

"Young Master, I have successfully completed my mission and dealt with all these small centipedes. However, I don't know why, there is no Blood Moon Demon Seal inside them," Guard Liu said respectfully.

And this Ninth Young Master is none other than Liu Xuanming, the ninth son of the new generation of the Liu family in the South China Sea.

This person is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possesses considerable strength, no less than Wei Wushang.

Among the new generation of the Liu family in the South China Sea, although they are not the most outstanding talents, they are still quite famous and can be ranked among the top few.

"These small centipede puppets are not the main body; they are split off from the centipede statue," Liu Xuanming said, sounding very familiar with the puppets.

For these powerful forces, the demonic puppet is no secret.

Thousands of years ago, there was a righteous genius who may have obtained an ancient inheritance or created his own technique. He cultivated the Demon Puppet Technique, led nine demon puppets, fell into the demonic path, and killed people everywhere to refine demon puppets.

Many small sects were wiped out overnight, and ordinary cultivators lived in fear.

Ultimately, disciples of Pudu Temple, one of the ten major sects, took action on their master's orders, pursuing the demonic cultivator all the way to the territory of the Five Elements Demonic Sect, one of the six major demonic sects.

The Five Elements Demonic Sect naturally wouldn't let this go unpunished, and sent its disciples to join the battle.

According to records, with the two top powers joining forces, that demonic cultivator ultimately met a tragic end, his life extinguished and his cultivation vanished, with no further information available.

Nevertheless, these powerful forces still left behind many records.

The reason Liu Xuanming came to this second-grade secret realm was because he unexpectedly obtained some information about it.

He has ulterior motives!

Meanwhile, Jiang Shi secretly discovered the whereabouts of these three members of the Liu family from the South China Sea.

Not daring to linger for fear of being surrounded, they secretly retreated.

These three brocade-clad cultivators clearly came from powerful forces.

If a conflict occurs, it will not benefit him in any way, regardless of whether he wins or loses.

Jiang Shi decided to leave immediately, turning around and leaving only his back view.

The moment Jiang Shi left, Liu Xuanming sensed a trace of his presence.

Liu Xuanming held up two fingers and placed them over his eyes, and a bright blue light shone forth.

He quickly looked into the distance! After a while, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal.

"Cousin, what are you looking at? Is something interesting happening?" Liu Yueling asked curiously.

"It's that person who killed several powerful cultivators of the same realm in the second level," Liu Xuanming said, his face serious as if he were thinking about something.

"So it was him! Cousin, let's hurry and chase after him! Let's snatch that top-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, cousin. I really like it." Upon hearing Jiang Shi's information, a hint of greed flashed in Liu Yueling's eyes. She grabbed Liu Xuanming's arm and said coquettishly.

"That person has already gone far away, and it's too late to chase after them now," Liu Xuanming said in a deep voice.

It's not that he can't catch up with Jiang Shi; if he uses some methods, catching up with him at this distance wouldn't be a problem.

However, when Liu Xuanming used his pupil technique to check Jiang Shi's whereabouts, he discovered that the man's magical power had become much stronger, and his cultivation had obviously made great progress.

Even now, he wouldn't dare say he could definitely take down this person.

Since that's the case, it's better not to make any enemies at all.

Liu Xuanming is a cautious man who will never make a move unless he is absolutely certain of success.

That's why, even though he had the strength to do so in the first two levels, he didn't try to snatch the Blood Moon Demon Seal.

"Cousin, don't you still have a third-grade escape talisman?" Liu Yueling said again.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanming felt an urge to slap him.

"You idiot! A third-grade escape talisman is something used to save your life. How can you use it to make enemies?" Liu Xuanming thought to himself.

But he didn't show it at all on the surface.

"Cousin, why waste a third-grade escape talisman to kill him? He can't escape in this secret realm. Junior sister, if you want that high-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, your senior brother will definitely get it for you."

Liu Yueling is the great-granddaughter of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the Liu family of the South China Sea, and she is usually very much loved.

Therefore, Liu Xuanming indulged her in every way.

While Liu Xuanming and Liu Yueling were discussing how to seize the Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

Jiang Shi had already run far away, stepping on the lotus flowers.

As he left, he sensed Liu Xuanming watching him.

Although it was only for a moment, Jiang Shi immediately sensed it and ran even faster.

They only stopped when they had walked quite a distance.

"This face is already familiar to these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, so I have to change my identity again," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Now that I have too many high-grade magical artifacts and a treasure like the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, I am bound to attract the covetous eyes of others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi began to change, reverting to the form he had taken in Biluo Valley.

Having changed into this appearance, Jiang Shi had a plan. Perhaps when he encountered Lu Chuanxing and Ouyang Yu again, he could use this face to launch a sneak attack on them.
