Why did you so decisively betray the Dragon Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Xuan Ce’s mind snapped back, and he was momentarily stunned by Seven Sorrow Demon Lord’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after years of living in the Blood Realm with Seven Sorrow Demon Lord, he replied: “You should know, my father has already decided to install my elder brother as heir. Once Xuan Tong takes the throne, he will surely seek revenge against me—where would I have any place left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that old man and Xuan Tong are unkind, then I have no choice but to be unrighteous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can obtain the demonic dragon blood inheritance on this journey and deepen the concentration of my ancient true spirit bloodline, I may one day reach fifth rank or higher—then even the entire Eastern Sea will be beneath my notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing his words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming silently scoffed: “This fellow talks grandly of sacrificing kin for justice, but in truth, he merely failed to seize power and seeks another path—willing to alienate everyone and take desperate risks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once one walks the path of demonic transformation, there is no turning back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, aside from your faction, the other demon clans of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace have no intention of defecting?\" Qin Ming immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ce glanced at Seven Sorrow Demon Lord, sensing something odd about his questions today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to Seven Sorrow Demon Lord’s formidable mid-stage Nascent Soul power and their current location on his territory, he dared not offend him, so he said: “Correct. This time, I’ve brought my loyal followers and have fully broken ties with the Dragon Palace and the Eastern Sea cultivation world. I originally tried to persuade my third brother, Xuan Xiao, to join me, but he’s too indecisive to accomplish great things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming pondered briefly—he had seen Crown Prince Xuan Xiao several times at the Immortal Mansion gathering; the man was decent enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two fourth-rank demonic cores used for brewing liquor had been exchanged directly with Xuan Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the explanation, Qin Ming nodded and made no further inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then directly led them toward the main peak of the Dragon Spine Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous demonic beasts within the demonic dragon territory sensed the approach of several immensely powerful cultivators entering their domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all went on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of black qi roared up from the Dragon Spine Mountains. When the light of their flight faded, a middle-aged man clad in black armor appeared—his aura coarse, his eyes glowing crimson demonic pupils, his gaze shrewd and cunning, with mid-stage fourth-rank cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming recognized him instantly from Seven Sorrow Demon Lord’s memories: this was Geng Chi, the demonic dragon clan’s patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already pondering how to capture this fourth-rank demonic dragon—to plant spirit rice with it would yield excellent results!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Seven Sorrow Demon Lord stepped forward and greeted the man with a deep, confident voice: “Geng Chi, long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-armored demonic dragon patriarch narrowed his sharp vertical pupils slightly and spoke calmly: “So it’s Seven Sorrow Demon Lord of the Blood Refining Demon Sect. What an unexpected guest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven Sorrow Elder, you never come here without reason. What brings you to the Dragon Spine Mountains?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming immediately explained the full context and purpose of their visit to Geng Chi, the demonic dragon patriarch. Upon hearing it, Geng Chi’s wary expression vanished entirely, replaced by radiant delight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the demonic dragon clan, absorbing three fourth-rank dragon beast saints at once was a heavenly blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would greatly enhance the clan’s overall strength—why not embrace such fortune? “Brother Xuan Ce, Brother Seven Sorrow, please come inside!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xuan Ce, your return to our ancestral roots is most welcome—I could not be more delighted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for your request to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to strengthen your bloodline, we will fulfill it after our ancestral rites are completed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Geng Chi’s icy face broke into a rare smile, ushering them all into the Dragon Spine Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qin Ming and the others advanced deeper, he noticed many high-grade spiritual plants growing on the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth-rank Earth Rock Root, Demon Heart Fruit, Snake Essence Flower…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some species long extinct in the outside world—treasured by human cultivators—were treated by these demonic dragons as utterly worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming quietly memorized the locations of these spiritual plants and the distribution of their array seals, then his mind raced, plotting how to wipe out this entire clan of demonic dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to take them back to cultivate. On the main peak’s grand hall, Geng Chi even brought out his finest wine to entertain his guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the flawless version!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Seven Sorrow Demon Lord, with no pretense of secrecy, they began discussing the matter of Xuan Ce and the others returning to their ancestral roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the demonic dragon clan’s ancestral rites were peculiar: they required immersion in the “Dragon Transformation Pool,” said to contain the bloodline legacy of an ancient true spirit demonic dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the beast’s rank, the greater the chance of receiving a stronger true spirit bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, they would be assimilated by the demonic qi within, fully transforming into demonic dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, the demonic dragon clan would have no fear of Xuan Ce and the others harboring any other intentions—they would all be one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Chi and Xuan Ce reached an agreement on certain terms and immediately decided to proceed to the “Dragon Transformation Pool” to return to the embrace of the demonic dragon. Qin Ming had already decided how to strike, for he had confirmed that no one within the Dragon Spine Mountains surpassed Geng Chi in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still had to maintain his disguise as Seven Sorrow Demon Lord, so the attack must be sudden and utterly covert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crown Prince Xuan Ce of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, the Azure Lizard King, and the other beast saint must be personally eliminated by him to cleanse the human world’s ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too risky to act along the way—now, at last, the opportunity had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the demonic dragon clan’s forbidden zone, a blood-red pool ten zhang in diameter, continuously spewing thick black demonic qi, came into Qin Ming’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the ancestral rites, Xuan Ce and the others left their life-soul lamps in the ancestral hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fools could no longer contain their excitement—they eagerly lined up to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool and undergo the demonic dragon blood purification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a miraculous place, capable of directly altering one’s bloodline, did not exist in the human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of demonic transformation into a dragon was somewhat slow; the moment they entered the pool, Xuan Ce and the others immediately revealed their true forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ce’s true form was a fourth-rank early-stage crimson dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Seven Sorrow, their transformation will be slow—minimum half a month, possibly several months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s wait outside. I’ve prepared some modest wine to properly thank your sect for facilitating this union,” Geng Chi smiled warmly at Qin Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ming was about to nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a deafening, earth-shaking explosion echoed from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Intruders!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirr~ The fourth-rank mountain-guarding array of the demonic dragon clan flared to full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Immediately, a barrage of devastating spells descended upon the array’s barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the sky, hundreds of terrifying spirit ships appeared, as if determined to level the entire Dragon Spine Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After relentless bombardment, the mountain’s protective array trembled precariously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful, commanding voice rang from beyond the mountain gate, reaching every ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuan Ce! You treacherous, backstabbing eel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daring to betray humanity and collude with demonic sects—do you think fleeing to the Blood Realm makes you safe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I shall cleanse this place of blood, slaughter the two sects you betrayed, flay your flesh, strip your bones, and light your beast soul as a lantern—to serve as a warning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Canghe True Person erupted, instantly turning Geng Chi’s face livid with rage!!
