Chapter 105: The Unfathomable Qingling

As for the Demon Clan member moles within the Profound Heaven Sect, they were of little use; currently, the most they could do was provide early knowledge of the various Sects' movements.

With him present in the Profound Heaven Sect, there would be no sudden issues.

Over on Jiang Cheng's side, he had already recovered to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm.

Jiang Cheng reviewed Chen An's report; people from the various major Sects had come to investigate their side, and he knew that these things could not be kept hidden from others forever.

Their actions would inevitably leave behind some flaws, but for now, they had not yet been discovered by the various major Sects as having traces of Demon Clan members.

To prevent the people from the various Sects from discovering traces of their Demon Clan members, he had used many Sects as cover; those Sect members did not even know that they themselves were pawns of the Demon Clan members.

After all, they did not Cultivate Demon Race Cultivation Techniques, so in the eyes of outsiders, there was no discernible difference.

However, there were already rumors circulating outside about Demon Clan members appearing, which was unavoidable. Fortunately, they now had the ability to resist briefly; as long as those in the Soul Transformation Stage did not come in person, there would be no problems.

Even if they did come, they had backup plans to escape.

Once he reached the Soul Transformation Stage, they would not have many concerns. By then, he would throw the Southern Region into a panic and, with internal and external coordination, take down the Southern Region in one fell swoop.

His influence was not weak now; with himself and the Demon Clan members who had come as reinforcements from other regions.

There were already several Nascent Soul Stage beings and quite a few Golden Core Stage existences.

Excluding the Eight Great Sects, they basically had no rivals.

They could not be too high-profile right now. He had also heard of Ye Lin's deeds; this was a variable for their Demon Race, as this kid was growing too fast.

If Ye Lin had not grown up yet, he would definitely spare no cost to strangle him in the cradle; after all, a Genius who had not yet grown up posed no threat.

But now this Ye Lin had grown up, and his combat power was terrifying—not something he could contend with at present.

He had also sent people to investigate what trump cards Ye Lin possessed, but no one knew; this Ye Lin was basically never in his Sect, and no one knew where he had gone to train.

Not many people knew what his true strength was; they only knew he was very strong, and to this day, no one had witnessed his true capabilities.

Currently, if he faced Ye Lin, he basically had no chance of winning. But once he recovered to the Soul Transformation Stage, he would have a certain amount of confidence to deal with this Ye Lin; his Yin Yang Demon Pearl and Yin and Yang Cultivation Technique were no joke.

He now had to grasp as much information as possible about that Ye Lin and the Innate Sword Body from the Myriad Swords Sect; as for the others, he did not take them to heart.

Most importantly, when he took down the Southern Region, he must find the person who had crippled him before; he must exact this revenge.

As long as he recovered to the Soul Transformation Stage, that person would definitely not be his match, and it was possible that the person had not even reached the Soul Transformation Stage yet.

After all, he had been in the Southern Region for so long, and he had never heard of the person who had injured him before.

"Just wait. When the time comes, I will find you and show you what cruelty is; I will beat you until you are kneeling on the ground begging for mercy."

"Then I will slowly break that person, letting him see the consequences of offending me, the Fengling Demon Venerable."

"By the way, Chen An, is there any situation with the moles planted in the various Sects?"

"There have been no unexpected incidents with the moles in the various Sects for now; after all, the various Sects would never suspect that there are Demon Clan members inside their Sects."

"Good. If there are any accidents, notify me immediately."

"Yes."

"Also, if those who come to investigate discover the traces of our Demon Race people, remember to deal with them immediately."

On Su Yu's side, looking ahead, it seemed that he would not be able to have peace for much longer.

When the time came, he just needed to play his role well; as for the major matters, he would let those few Prodigies take the lead.

Ye Lin had arrived at the Secret Realm of the Tree Demon King from before; for these years, his Materials for the Rebirth Pill had been missing only the roots of this old tree demon.

As it happened, this old tree demon had chased him relentlessly last time, and now he was back.

Ye Lin appeared in front of the old tree demon.

The old tree demon saw Ye Lin approaching. "You brat, you dare to come again? I think you are courting death. You ran away last time, but this time you will not be so lucky."

But soon, the old tree demon realized something was not quite right; he could not see through the cultivation of the Ye Lin before him, which was not a good omen.

Could this person's cultivation have grown this quickly?

No, he had to make some preparations and leave himself a way out; after all, the Ye Lin before him might have Cultivated some kind of Cultivation Technique to hide his aura.

Ye Lin did not say much to him. "Old tree demon, you hunted me for so long last time; today, I will borrow your tree roots."

In an instant, Ye Lin unleashed a streak of Sword Qi that spanned across the area, slashing toward the Tree Demon King.

Before the Tree Demon King could even react, his body had already been split into two.

Until his death, he had never imagined such an outcome.

Ye Lin looked at the dead Tree Demon King. Since returning from the Limitless Dynasty, his Sword Intent had improved significantly; he was already on the verge of reaching the threshold of the Sword Domain.

Now, when dealing with such Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beasts, he could basically achieve an instant kill; even if this old demon king had astonishing defensive power, it was the same.

Ye Lin picked up the old demon king's tree roots. Good, the last material for the Rebirth Pill had been collected.

At this moment, Qingling spoke up: "It seems the experience in the Limitless Dynasty brought a great deal of help to your path of the Sword Dao."

"You have also gathered the last material for this Rebirth Pill; now you have one more trump card."

"There are rumors circulating in the Southern Region that Demon Clan members have appeared again. I think it should be true; I am afraid that before long, the Demon Clan members will make a comeback."

"What you need is to quickly improve your strength, and I will try my best to help you, as long as you step into the Sword Domain by then."

"Then those Demon Clan members will merely be stepping stones on your path to the summit."

"There is not much in the Southern Region that can threaten you anymore; it is time for me to tell you about those unknown, somewhat dangerous Secret Realms."

"You need to go inside and temper yourself again, strengthening yourself as much as possible."

"The treasures in those Secret Realms are still useful; for you, they can be used for a long time."

Ye Lin still had some concept of the treasures that Qingling claimed were "still useful."

Heaven Rank weapons were merely trash in Qingling's eyes.

He had reached the Soul Transformation Stage now, and he still did not know Qingling's origins, but he increasingly felt that Qingling was unfathomable, understanding a thing or two about everything.

"Brother Ling, you aren't setting me up again, are you? Last time you said that Secret Realm had no danger, and I almost could not get out of it."

"This time you say the Secret Realm is a bit dangerous; I think it is not simple at all. I won't end up unable to get out this time, will I?"

"Look at what you are saying; you won't. You have to trust my judgment."

Over here, Su Yu, who was drinking tea, looked at the suddenly appearing message bamboo slip; he wanted to see who it was from.
