Had it not been for your intervention, our entire crew would have been wiped out by the Lou family. We are truly ashamed to accept your travel fees any longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spoken, Shi Jin took the spirit stones from his son’s hands and moved to return them all to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming waved his hand. “No need. Keep them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve labored half a year just to escort me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Jin hesitated, then tucked the spirit stones away and pulled forth a sea-shell artifact from his robe, offering it to Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We Black Sail Pirates cannot repay your life-saving grace. This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Conch. Should you ever need us in the future, simply use this to contact me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you’re upon the sea, even across ten thousand miles, I will receive your message.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? There are such miraculous artifacts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming felt intrigued and nodded slowly, accepting the Ten Thousand Spirits Conch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he might one day travel to the Eastern Sea cultivation realm and need their aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pirates were experts in navigation and intimately familiar with maritime geography.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s far enough. You may stop here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I need you, I will contact you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming spoke calmly, then vanished into the sky as a streak of azure light. Shi Jin gazed after him, his eyes deep and silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, is that elder truly a Nascent Soul True Person?” asked the gaunt youth, gazing toward the horizon. “We’ve come to the Southern Wilderness many times—never heard of any Nascent Soul powerhouse here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. Perhaps some great power came here on business and chose to remain unknown. Such figures are beyond our comprehension,” Shi Jin said, drawing a deep breath as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then roared at full volume: “Men! The elder’s task is done—let’s set sail!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the saying goes: survive a great disaster, and fortune follows!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three months without a catch—tonight, I’ll pick a fat sheep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the merfolk aboard erupted into wild excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woooooo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long live Captain Shi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the cheers, the Black Sail pirate ship plunged back into the deep sea, transforming into a colossal black shark that faded into the distance—while Qin Ming flew far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dismissed his True Demon Illusion technique, revealing his plain, unremarkable true face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming had no intention of hiding his identity on this return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation base now rivaled that of a Nascent Soul True Person—he could shatter a fourth-rank demonic saint with a single punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was merely one step away from condensing his Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arsenal of treasures and reserves was no weaker than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Southern Wilderness cultivation realm, not even a single Golden Core cultivator had reached full completion—there was no one left to challenge him. A master’s loneliness. “I return now, having reached Golden Core full completion—this is glory returned to my homeland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I still remained humble now, it would be excessive modesty indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then retrieved a third-rank superior Lingxiao Noble Chariot and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lingxiao Noble Chariot had been taken from the storage pouches of the Lou brothers he had slain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew which sea clan prince these two pirate lords had plundered—but they had hoarded such a luxurious vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lingxiao Noble Chariot was exquisitely ornate, adorned with dragon patterns, crowned with a lofty canopy, radiating dazzling multicolored light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming then released the Blackwater Crocodile, ordering it to pull the chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been well-fed and pampered—it was time to earn its keep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On either side of the chariot trotted eight sea-horse beasts of sea-clan origin, their hooves dancing upon azure waves, elegant and majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third-rank late-stage crocodile demon king pulling the carriage, eight sea-horses galloping beside it—this procession was so grand that even a Golden Core elder would yield the road without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Southern Wilderness cultivation realm, northern border of Wei State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff! Puff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black boar-like beast, covered in bristling steel-like hairs, bore a pair of white tusks flanking its snout, its serrated jaws gnashing as it devoured bloody scraps of meat on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a second-rank early-stage beast: the Black-Mane Demon Boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Mane Demon Boar was notorious for its explosive reproduction rate, resulting in massive herds that swept across lands like locust swarms, leaving nothing but barren earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearby Qi Refining family and several surrounding villages had already been reduced to ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything edible had been devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sated, the Black-Mane Demon Boar rubbed its body against a massive boulder seven or eight zhang in size. “Aaah!” *Boom!* When it finished, it thrust its massive tusks forward with full force—the boulder shattered into countless fragments, flying in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black-Mane Demon Boar opened its bloodshot eyes wide, roaring with fury—it sensed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It charged forward on powerful limbs, smashing toward the boulder’s rear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom! Boom!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under its charge, the earth trembled, forests toppled in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly! A massive dark rope artifact descended from the sky, engulfing the Black-Mane Demon Boar in a net. As soon as it was caught, the net tightened violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now! Strike while you can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Avenge our fallen kin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly silver-haired man, radiating the spiritual pressure of Foundation Establishment mid-stage, burst from the trees behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he summoned his flying sword artifact, channeling magic power into the sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson flying sword split mid-air into over a dozen crimson sword beams, slashing toward the demon boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the silver-haired elder, over a dozen Qi Refining cultivators—of mid-to-late stages and varying ages—flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved with disciplined precision, each deploying their own artifacts to unleash a furious assault on the trapped demon boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, colorful spells, talismans, and artifacts rained down upon the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Huang, we come to aid you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom! Boom!* Yet, every spell struck the demon boar’s body and was deflected by its steel-like bristles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after this relentless barrage, not a single scratch marred its hide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hssss~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such thick hide and tough flesh—how do we kill it?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the demon boar thrashed violently, threatening to break free of the net, the group gasped in horror. “Hmph! Demon beast, die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang elder roared, twisting his sword technique—launching a piercing crimson sword beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shhh!* The crimson blade pierced through a gap, driving straight into the demon boar’s vulnerable tail, then erupting from its mouth—piercing it clean through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Huang, mighty indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as the sight made everyone’s buttocks clench, they couldn’t help but cry out in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! Thanks to all of you distracting the beast, I had the chance to deliver the killing blow—Wait!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang elder, smug with triumph, reached to retrieve his artifact—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom! Boom!* The earth trembled violently again. Dust rose from the mountains and valleys as thousands of Black-Mane Demon Boars surged forward in a surrounding formation, eyes blazing with bloodlust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though each was only mid-to-late first-rank, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be crushed under such a tide. “These beasts must have been drawn by the earlier commotion,” cried a Qi Refining cultivator, face pale with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Split up and flee—there’s still a sliver of hope! May fate decide each life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang elder was decisive—he had reached Foundation Establishment for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation collapse, he immediately turned and fled without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others each activated their life-saving talismans and artifacts, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Roar!* From the sky descended a Black-Mane Demon Boar, towering over ten zhang tall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its spiritual pressure was so immense it froze the air around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single roar, even the Huang elder’s magic power spiraled into chaos—he tumbled from mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third-rank demon king!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang elder’s eyes filled with despair, his heart dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over… we’re all finished…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My life is ended!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Roar! Roar!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar beyond the sky came another beast’s roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the stunned and awestruck gazes of the cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous crocodile with terrifying aura, flanked by eight Azure Wave Sea Horses, pulled a Lingxiao Treasure Chariot that resembled a magnificent palace floating in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lingxiao Treasure Chariot arrived in an instant; the giant crocodile opened its mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning as thick as a water barrel, crashing down with thunderous force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM-KRAK! In an instant, the beast herd below, including the third-stage Black-Mane Beast King, were reduced to ashes at once.
