Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

"I admire you!"

Ye Ming smiled smugly and said, "Of course. It's only because this treasure met me that it wasn't wasted."

"Alright, we're almost done packing, let's go."

He shook his hand, wiped away the demon blood, and strode away.

Cao Xiaoman quickly followed.

[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): Holy crap! This Ye Ming is so stingy! He doesn't even spare the corpses of demons.]

[Chen Keke (Demon Slayer World): Exactly! This is practically insane level of resource utilization!]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): As expected of the protagonist, he can even pick up equipment from demons! I'm impressed!]

Ye Ming listened to the discussions in the chat group and chuckled to himself.

"What do these little girls know? The path of cultivation is about seizing every second and fighting for every inch of ground."

"You mere demons think you can slip even a hair out of my hands? Dream on!"

He casually flicked his sleeves and walked away with his hands behind his back.

However, after taking only a few steps, Ye Ming suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? It seems like someone is watching us from the shadows."

His eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned his surroundings.

Sure enough, a figure could be vaguely seen behind the bushes not far away.

The man seemed to realize he had been exposed and turned to run away.

"Hmph! Trying to run? No way!"

Ye Ming snorted coldly, and in a flash, he blocked the man's path.

"Who are you? Why are you secretly following us?"

He grabbed the man by the collar and questioned him sharply.

The man struggled for a moment, but the difference in strength was too great, so he had no choice but to surrender.

"Great hero, spare my life! I... I'm just a rogue cultivator, I had no intention of offending you!"

He stammered, his voice filled with fear.

Ye Ming looked him over suspiciously and said, "A rogue cultivator? Why would a rogue cultivator like you appear near a demon's lair?"

"Also, your cultivation level is not simple either. You don't look like an ordinary rogue cultivator at all."

Upon hearing this, the man turned pale and trembled all over.

"Great hero, I really am just a rogue cultivator!"

"I...I just heard that demons were causing trouble and wanted to come and investigate. I didn't mean anything else!"

Ye Ming sneered, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You think you can fool me with such nonsense?"

"If you were truly here to investigate, why didn't you go into the cave to help, instead of hiding in the shadows?"

"Clearly, they have ulterior motives!"

As he spoke, he increased the pressure on his hand.

The man grimaced in pain and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"My lord, you are wise! I... I really didn't lie!"

"I wanted to go into the cave to help, but... but I'm not strong enough, and I'm afraid I'll hold you back..."

"That's why they're observing from the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to act..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Waiting for an opportunity? You have accomplices?"

The man then realized he had let something slip and was terrified.

"No, no! Great hero, please let me explain!"

"I...I didn't mean that..."

Ye Ming sneered repeatedly, tightening his grip on his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense! You'd better tell the truth!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man was terrified and had no choice but to lower his head and confess his guilt.

"Hero, spare my life! I'll tell you everything!"

It turns out that this person's name is Zhang Qing, and he is an inner disciple of the nearby Qingyun Sect.

He was sent by his master to investigate the movements of the demons, hoping to seize an opportunity to make a contribution.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed Ye Ming slaying demons on the way, and could only hide in the shadows, not daring to make any rash moves.

"I see. So your Qingyun Sect has also set its sights on this demon?"

Ye Ming snorted coldly and released his grip.

"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you didn't ruin my plans."

"But you must go back and deliver a message."

"Just say that the demon has been killed by me, Ye, and its corpse has been taken for my own use."

"From this day forward, this area is under my jurisdiction, Ye Ming!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing was both surprised and delighted, nodding and bowing repeatedly.

"Thank you so much for sparing my life, sir! I will go back and report right away!"

"If you ever need my services, sir, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After saying that, he fled for his life in a panic.

Chapter 1035 The Urgency to Refine the Demon Core! (Begging for Full Subscription)

Ye Ming watched his departing figure and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"That kid knows what's good for him. He knows I'm not someone to mess with, so he's making a quick getaway."

"That's fine, saves me the trouble of doing it myself and getting blood splattered on the spot."

He turned to Cao Xiaoman and said, "Alright, let's just leave it at that."

"Let's hurry back. I still need to refine the demon core."

Cao Xiaoman nodded and said, "That's right. The matter of the demons has been resolved, so we should go back now."

"By the way, Ming-ge, do you think the Qingyun Sect will cause you trouble?"

"After all, they probably won't let it go so easily since you've so blatantly snatched it away, right?"

Ye Ming said dismissively, "The mere Qingyun Sect is nothing to me."

"Besides, reason prevails everywhere, while unreasonableness makes it impossible to move an inch."

"I, Ye Ming, have done nothing wrong, so who dares to gossip about me?"

"Even if they dare to cause trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with them!"

He spoke with an air of dominance, striding back the way he came.

Along the way, Ye Ming kept exclaiming, "This time we've really gained a lot!"

"The demon's core and corpse alone will keep me busy for quite some time."

"Once I get back, I need to start refining it immediately. I'll try to break through this bottleneck as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Cao Xiaoman couldn't help but smile and say, "Brother Ming, you really are a cultivation fanatic!"

"I just finished fighting the demons, and I can't wait to start cultivating."

"Don't you know how to take a break and slow down?"

Ye Ming smiled but remained silent.

In his view, cultivation is a marathon without an end.

If you slack off even slightly, you may be overtaken by others.

He's nothing but a mere demon; he doesn't even deserve a chance to catch his breath.

The world of cultivating immortals is so cruel.

If you don't advance, you fall behind; if you're even a step behind, you're doomed.

He doesn't want to lose at the starting line.

So no matter how tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Because he knew that only by working harder than others could he have the last laugh.

"I, Ye Ming, will venture into every single realm of the heavens and the myriad worlds!"

"I'd like to see who in this vast universe can stop me!"

Ye Ming clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with confidence.

He believes that nothing is impossible as long as you are willing to work hard.

Even if one ascends to the pinnacle of all heavens and becomes the master of all realms!

[Zhang Dapao (Biohazard World): Damn! Boss Ye Ming is so domineering! He doesn't even put the myriad realms in his eyes!]

[Yun Shanshan (Dou Qi World): That's right! Seeing Brother Ye Ming's meteoric rise, I'm truly ashamed of myself.]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): Brother Ye is a role model for us all! He works as hard as I do, and I will work even harder than him!]

[Li Momo (The Return of the Condor Heroes): A shout-out to Brother Ye! In all the heavens and myriad realms, only Ye Mingzun reigns supreme!]

Ye Ming looked at the messages in the chat box and couldn't help but feel excited.

Yes, if I, Ye Ming, am going to do something, I'll do it the best.

If you're going to compete, compete for first place; if you're going to be someone, be the top dog!

A battle between demons and monsters is nothing more than a small interlude amidst the clash of swords.

The real test is yet to come!

In the vast universe, countless rare and precious treasures abound.

Heroes from all over the world displayed their unique abilities in the competition.

And in the myriad realms, countless powerful enemies lurk.

How could I, Ye Ming, stop here?

He turned to look at Cao Xiaoman and smiled, "Xiaoman, you're right."

"It's only right to take a break. We can postpone refining the demon core for now."

"Right now, how about we take a trip to the world of tomb raiding?"

"The zombie cave that Chu Yanran encountered last time, hasn't it been explored yet?"

"This is a good opportunity to go and meet those dead men."

"Let's see if they're tough enough to withstand my punches and kicks!"
