Something Big Had Happened

"Something's probably happened again!" someone said with a grim face.

They are responsible for information gathering and personnel deployment, and now they wish they could get involved themselves.

The group couldn't hold back any longer; even though it was already too late to get there, they still wanted to make a move.

Qin Ming was very dissatisfied and pressed Cui Qing for the "Abiding World Scripture," but was disappointed with the result.

"You little brat..." Cui Qing continued to scold at the last moment.

"What use are you!" Qin Ming chopped him up with a single stroke, turning him into a headless corpse in an instant.

Then, he shot down a spirit bird in the night sky, cleaned up the battlefield, and quickly drove away.

He didn't leave empty-handed; he obtained a fragment of the "Scripture of Abiding World Scripture".

Because Cui Qing hadn't mastered it completely; he had only just entered the Spirit Field Realm and hadn't yet obtained the full text.

The Cui Household possesses a detailed annotated "Abiding World Scripture," which consists of four volumes and can be studied by all direct descendants. However, Cui Qing has only practiced the first volume so far.

"Looking at it from another angle, it's good enough to have gained anything. Besides, I can't practice the <Abiding World Scripture> at my current level; I mainly focus on Extraordinary Art. I'll have a chance to acquire the other three volumes later, and I'll chase after any Green Hair I see in the future."

The Cui Household withheld his family heirloom Silk Scripture, and Qin Ming planned to investigate the clan's "Abiding World Scripture," as a form of "reciprocity."

"Today I killed two groups of people from the Cui Household, some of whom were their direct descendants. This enmity is too great." He sighed, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

However, he had nothing to fear. Since they had become adversaries, it was a fight to the death, and there was no way to resolve it peacefully. Retreating was pointless.

He was certain that the Cui Household was determined to eradicate him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so resolute this time, sending wave after wave of people.

"Is this going to involve a major conflict?" Qin Ming judged based solely on the information available.

Regardless, the Cui Household came with malicious intent, which is a very harsh reality, and he needs to consider how to survive.

"It seems that Shen Wubing's identity has been completely exposed and is now known to the Cui Household."

Qin Ming recalled that all the identities he had used had been renowned far and wide, such as Qi Zizai of the Six Royals Ancestral Court, Demon One of the Secret Realm, and now Shen Wubing, all of whom were mysterious and powerful.

He pondered that once people knew he had mastered the Silk Book Method, he might become famous far and wide, but his future situation would be precarious, and he would face even more crises.

At that moment, someone else was also lamenting their situation after the change of identity.

Wearing a mask, Li Qingxu suffered another crushing defeat after a fierce battle with Little Wu.

He has now suffered ten consecutive defeats, including two losses today alone.

Nearby, both demons and human cultivators were amazed by the two's power, believing they must both have extraordinary backgrounds.

The identity of "Masked Man" is quite well-known here today, which is not bad, but his performance is quite tragic.

Li Qingxu was disheartened. How could he be defeated by just any opponent he encountered?

At that moment, he even began to question the meaning of life.

"You're strong, but you're a step behind me, and even further behind my brother. Hmm, he's the same age as me," Little Wu commented.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingxu nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. The other party had an older brother? This meant that if he truly wanted to challenge everyone, he still needed to suffer one more defeat.

"What? Qingxu... lost again?" Many members of the Li Household were stunned when they received the news.

If this continues, will the "Immortal Seed" that the Lineage values be ruined?

Many people looked grim; how could there be so many monstrous teenagers on the plateau?

"From now on, my Li Bai!" On that day, Li Qingxu officially changed his name to the person he was wearing a mask.

However, the fire in his eyes did not go out. Instead, he thought of what his master Cao Qianqiu had said, "Destruction precedes construction!"

"It's confirmed, Cui Qing is dead!"

Upon receiving the report, Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others felt a tightness in their chests. In just a short time, direct descendants were dying one after another, and the dignity of the Cui Household was being violated!

"Just how powerful are the people protecting Qin Ming?" Someone asked grimly, preparing to mobilize forces for revenge.

Cui Cheng spoke up, "I guess it hasn't exceeded the Third Realm. After all, according to the spirit bird's feedback, it wasn't an instant kill each time, but rather accompanied by a fight."

In order to obtain intelligence, they are quite "useless birds." If they get even slightly close to that area, even the fastest flying birds, such as the Lightning Finch and the Thunder Falcon, will be shot down.

So later on, the Cui Household's spirit birds would only listen to the sounds from a distance, and dared not fly closer to spy.

"I must go there myself!" Cui Changming said, he really couldn't sit still any longer.

"Let's go too. We should be able to confirm that it's not someone from the Fourth Realm protecting him. Then we should be able to take them down!"

The others echoed this sentiment and wanted to follow.

On their journey, the group received a piece of news that made their hearts leap: a "seed team" from the Cui Household had gone to intercept Qin Ming and had already encountered him.

"Isn't Chongkong not in that area?" Cui Changming asked anxiously. In the junior group, the Cui Household prepared ten teams, but only two were seeded teams.

Someone reported, "Upon hearing the news, Chongkong and his group rode on strange birds and rushed over, which is why they arrived first despite starting later."

Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others all sensed that something was very wrong.

Cui Chongkong was a promising young man highly regarded by the older generation, and he was also Cui Changqing's youngest grandson.

Cui Changqing is the second in the "Chang" generation and is a very powerful person in the Cui Household. He has gone far on the Immortal Path and has also cultivated the <Abiding World Scripture> to a high level.

Cui Changming shouted angrily. If something happened to Cui Chongkong, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his powerful second brother, who was much more terrifying than Fifth Master Cui.

Qin Ming had already fled, not wanting to fight the Cui Household to the death here, because the situation was unfavorable to him. Now he was thinking about saving his life and surviving on the plateau.

He didn't expect that Cui Chongkong would chase after him in a flying beast.

Since the other party is not giving him a way out, and he can't escape, he will definitely not show any mercy.

Cui Chongkong was half a year older than him. He had joined the Esoteric Sect at a young age and was extremely talented. He was very famous in the Cui Household.

Back in the Cui Household, the older cousins who knew the inside story were rather indifferent to Qin Ming.

Most of the Cui Household youths who were around Qin Ming's age had a good relationship with him, but Cui Chongkong was not among them; he was quite arrogant back then.

Otherwise, Qin Ming might hesitate.

Across from us was a man with "Green Hair," an elderly man with a full head of green hair.

Clearly, the Cui Household has a "younger generation" dynamic this time, with each young member accompanied by a skilled protector.

Seeing this, Qin Ming immediately took the initiative and quickly went to meet him, as he wanted to collect the <Abiding World Scripture>.

After the first two attempts, he had expended a great deal of energy, but he had also become increasingly skilled. This time, he suddenly activated the Starfire Essence, and the killing effect was even greater than before.

"You..." The old man was severely injured and turned to run away, but he couldn't escape at all.

"Green Hair, leave the scriptures before you go!" Qin Ming gave chase.

In this area, Cui Chongkong shocked. The former Abandoned Son could actually kill someone at the Third Realm?

When Qin Ming faced him, he didn't hesitate at all; he acted decisively.

Cui Chongkong had already come after them, his attitude so clear, so when Qin Ming killed him, he was also quite decisive and swift.

A terrified head flew up. Cui Chongkong's eyes widened in horror, his body stiffened, and at the last moment he weakly reached out, but he was completely bewildered.

He was only six months older than Qin Ming and had recently broken through to the Mid-Second Realm, which was of great significance, but he couldn't stop the Heavenly Light Force of the Abandoned Son at all.

His Divine Wisdom had not yet been extinguished; he tried to struggle, only to find that it had been ignited by that Heavenly Light.

"Is this the Heavenly Light cultivated with the Silk Book Method? It's even more terrifying than the Tathagata Force and the Six Royal Force!" These were Cui Chongkong's last thoughts before he died, filled with shock and regret. He really shouldn't have come here.

In the end, Qin Ming obtained the first two volumes of the Abiding World Scripture," which meant he had acquired the first half.

He was quite satisfied and muttered to himself, "It's enough. The latter half is being studied by some old guys, requiring an extremely high level of understanding."

Once he reaches that level, his strength will be sufficient; why would he be afraid of not obtaining the second half of the Abiding World Scripture?

In the night sky, Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others felt dizzy, for they already knew that the third team of the Cui Household had been wiped out.

"Chong Kong is dead?!" At this moment, everyone's face turned extremely pale.

Some people even broke out in a cold sweat.

Before coming to the plateau, everyone thought Cui Chongkong, but instead of getting the blood, he died!

As night fell, a Higher Aberrant Bird flew away and soon found Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan.

"I sensed something was wrong. That guy killed three groups of people in a row, and each group had a master of the Third Realm. I was afraid he would be caught out in the end, so I rushed over to deliver the message."

Yu Gensheng was shocked and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Ming killing a Third Realm expert? That's practically a fantasy.

Zhao Ziyuan grew anxious and asked, "Why didn't you inform us sooner?"

The Higher Aberrant Bird spoke up, "Didn't you say that if he could overcome the hurdle himself, even if he was badly injured and bleeding, as long as his life wasn't in danger, I wouldn't need to intervene? I was truly horrified by what I saw later, which is why I came to tell you all."

It hovered over the plateau in the Third Realm, keeping an eye on Qin Ming and Little Wu.

Undoubtedly, Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan had high hopes for the two boys, which is why they put in such effort.

It was precisely because this raptor was of a high level and was far away that Qin Ming only caught a fleeting glimpse of it, and he couldn't possibly bend his bow and shoot it.

"Why are you so stubborn, you bird? He's already killed someone from the Third Realm, and you didn't even come to report it sooner? This... this is unrealistic! Is this some kind of demonic possession? Something terrible is about to happen!"

"Lead the way quickly!"

The two old men were completely enraged and rushed over in a flurry.

Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others were all filled with murderous intent, their chests brimming with pent-up anger, as they charged toward their destination.

At this moment, Qin Ming was running at top speed across the plateau, traversing the night fog. He had killed three groups of Cui Household's men, so he naturally knew that the impact was enormous and that the other side was definitely furious.

"We should escape in that direction!" Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others were rapidly approaching.

Demons on the plateau are bleeding and fleeing in disarray, pursued by various powerful forces. This region is in utter chaos.

Most people didn't pay attention to the fact that the Cui Household was chasing them like this.

"Rubbing mud... the Cui Household!" Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan rushed over in a hurry, and had already spotted that small group of experts in the distance.
