86: change

In just a single encounter, all the True Monarchs of Jin Yang Cave were reduced to charred corpses on the ground.

Then, a few more breaths of time passed.

The actual ruler of Jin Yang Cave, Grand Elder True Monarch Mingyi, also died here.

And he died so easily.

This made the Disciples of Qinglu Mountain feel as if they were dreaming.

Jin Yang Cave and Qinglu Mountain were both among the three top forces in this region.

The number of True Monarchs it possessed was the highest among the three forces, and the same went for its Disciples.

Although the combat power of these True Monarchs varied, there were quite a few sub-par True Monarchs.

But they were still genuine True Monarch combatants.

They were not to be provoked by just anyone, yet today, they were all killed by one person.

And it was an instant kill.

Those True Monarchs of Jin Yang Cave had no ability to retaliate whatsoever.

Even for these Disciples of Qinglu Mountain, to kill a True Monarch of Jin Yang Cave would require using all their methods, at the very least.

Otherwise, absolute elimination could not be guaranteed.

But the person before them had achieved it.

"Is he really the new Inspector of the Great Qian?"

"When did such a powerful figure emerge from the Great Qian? Why do I have no news of it at all!"

"Even Master couldn't kill True Monarch Mingyi. Who exactly is this person?"

"This... then, could the demons here have been killed by him?!"

"Hiss, so that means the disappearance of the stone demon was also the work of this person before us!"

All the Disciples of Qinglu Mountain wore expressions of utter shock, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little fear.

This person before them killed the Cultivators of Jin Yang Cave without hesitation, leaving them feeling completely insecure.

Senior Ji was also both shocked and extremely wary.

Just now, he had thought about intervening to stop it, but Song Ming's movements were simply too fast, and the lightning Dao he used was too powerful.

He simply couldn't find an Opportunity to intervene.

Furthermore, Senior Ji was also very clear that if he were to intervene.

His fate would very likely be the same as Mingyi's.

Senior Ji and the other Cultivators of Qinglu Mountain stood rooted to the spot, not daring to even breathe loudly, fearing that they might displease Song Ming.

Starting from today.

The heavens here were probably about to change.

More than half of Jin Yang Cave's True Monarchs had died here, along with a Grand Elder.

It was bound to enter an unavoidable period of decline.

Moreover, the Great Qian now had such a terrifyingly powerful Inspector.

Even Senior Ji, the recognized number one of the Immortal Sects, had to humble himself before Song Ming at this moment.

It could be said that with Song Ming alone, the Great Qian had leaped from a declining top force to the strongest among the Immortal Sects.

Although Senior Ji didn't want to attract Song Ming's attention, it was impossible for him not to try and befriend such a powerful individual.

After all, the Opportunity of the Ascension Platform was still there.

However, judging by this person's demeanor, he didn't seem to care much.

But for the sake of the Opportunity, Senior Ji still bit the bullet and said, "This... cough cough!"

However, as soon as he spoke.

Song Ming cast a calm and profound gaze at him, scaring him into immediate silence.

He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, his fate might be even worse than True Monarch Mingyi's.

Song Ming watched Senior Ji for a moment before finally speaking, "The Cultivators of Jin Yang Cave were disrespectful to me, so I killed them. You have no objections, right?"

He wasn't someone who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

If these people hadn't insisted on opposing him, he wouldn't have acted.

After all, in this Secret Realm dungeon, only by killing demons could one gain experience.

Killing people didn't yield any.

The reason Song Ming looked at Senior Ji a few more times was mainly to consider whether this person would be a threat to the Great Qian in the future.

And whether he should eliminate this threat now.

After all, being able to stand with True Monarch Mingyi, his strength probably wouldn't be poor.

However, after thinking about it, he ultimately gave up the idea.

After all, there was no enmity, and this person had not shown obvious hostility.

Senior Ji, however, felt a chill run down his spine from Song Ming's gaze, and upon hearing his words, he immediately shook his head vigorously.

"My Qinglu Mountain naturally has no objections. These Cultivators of Jin Yang Cave deserved to die!"

The Disciples exchanged glances at this, then all chimed in their agreement.

They were afraid that if they were slow to express their stance, they would provoke this person.

Just because they were disrespectful to him, he killed them.

Who would dare to provoke such a person!

"Senior Song... Senior, do you have any other instructions?" Senior Ji asked fearfully.

After all, Song Ming's strength was so much higher than his, so calling him Senior was only appropriate.

He didn't feel any shame at all.

Song Ming said, "The matter here is settled, so I should return now!"

Seeing Song Ming about to leave, Senior Ji pointed at the Ascension Platform with some confusion, "Doesn't Senior Song want to know what that thing is?"

Song Ming glanced in the direction of the Ascension Platform and said with interest, "It seems you know what this high platform is for."

Senior Ji nodded, "I wouldn't dare to hide it from Senior. This white jade platform is called the Ascension Platform. Stepping onto this platform allows one to go to the Upper Realm, which is richer in resources!"

Song Ming looked at Senior Ji with some surprise, not expecting that among the natives here, someone actually recognized this item.

The other Disciples also looked shocked upon hearing this, and their gazes towards the white jade platform changed.

Ascension Platform, is it real or fake?

The resources here were already scarce, and most of them were occupied by the demons entrenched here.

Although as the upper echelons of the Sect, they didn't get to enjoy many resources at all.

But the Upper Realm was different.

The resources there were richer, and there were more Opportunities.

They naturally yearned for it greatly.

Now that this Opportunity was right before them, how could they not be excited?

But despite their excitement, with Song Ming right beside them, they dared not make a move.

"So Senior, don't you want to go to the Upper Realm?" Senior Ji asked tentatively.

Song Ming chuckled, "Not interested!"

Then he turned and left the area.

Leaving only his back to them.

Senior Ji stood rooted to the spot, somewhat admiring Song Ming's choice.

Such a heaven-defying Opportunity appearing before them would make anyone's heart stir.

But this Senior remained unmoved, truly free and unrestrained.

Senior Ji then looked at the Ascension Platform and said to the remaining eight Disciples who had followed, "Since that's the case, then you all follow your Master to the Upper Realm, how about it?"

As for the Legacy of Qinglu Mountain?

Senior Ji didn't care.

He had merely taken a few Disciples during his long life, and then people called it Qinglu Mountain.

In reality, the entire School consisted of only the nine of them.

Its existence or non-existence didn't matter.

All the Disciples showed excited expressions, each nodding vigorously.

"Haha, good, come with your Master!"

Senior Ji was the first to ascend the Ascension Platform, then his figure transformed into a golden light and flew towards the sky.

The remaining Disciples all did the same, Ascending to the Upper Realm!

At this point, the golden light disappeared.

The white jade platform also fell silent!

All the demons in the Thousand Demon Cave were annihilated, most of Jin Yang Cave's True Monarchs were killed, and all of Qinglu Mountain Ascended.

From this moment on.

Thepattern of this region began to undergo an earthquake-like upheaval from this moment on.
