Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 95: Core Inheritance, Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique

"From the tone of your words, it seems like there's something you're not saying. It's as if you know something?"

Looking at Zheng Yi's expression, Li Mingqi's face gradually darkened. His tone turned cold as he stared at Zheng Yi with icy eyes, speaking word by word.

"Zheng Yi, have you gone mad?"

"It seems like you've been here for too long and actually think of yourself as the king of this place..."

"Our sect has strict rules. As a mere inner disciple, how dare you defy the command of a senior brother who possesses the true transmission of the sect? Are you planning to rebel?!"

Zheng Yi's followers by Li Mingqi's side were also taken aback by Zheng Yi's attitude. They immediately changed their expressions, standing up and rebuking Zheng Yi.

They emphasized the righteousness of the sect and brought up the rules of the Assimilating Soul Sect, making this ignorant youngster understand who the true master here was.

"Senior Brother Li, you're joking. Hasn't the Assimilating Soul Sect already ceased to exist? Everyone is in chaos, claiming to be the legitimate successor. If you want me to report back to the sect, whose orders should I listen to?"

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Zheng Yi coldly smiled and spoke directly.

"So you've been playing with us all these days?"

"So you already knew?!"

Li Mingqi's face grew even colder. He stood up directly, feeling insulted.

This made him, who always held himself in high regard, look even more unpleasant. His eyes emitted a murderous intent, and a cold light shot out.

"You bunch of dogs without a home. I, together with the Qi family, treated you kindly out of our friendship as fellow disciples. I didn't expect you senior brothers to have such inappropriate thoughts, wanting to take advantage of the situation. It seems like you don't take me, Zheng Yi, seriously."

Since the truth had already been revealed, Zheng Yi said indifferently.

"What should be done according to the rules when someone challenges authority from below?"

Although Li Mingqi had already made up his mind to steal from the Qi family, he hadn't planned on letting Zheng Yi live. Regardless of whether Zheng Yi agreed or not today, whether he cooperated with them or not, in the end, Li Mingqi and the others would find an opportunity to directly deal with this troublesome inner disciple.

But now that this matter was brought up openly in front of everyone, Li Mingqi's face indeed became even more unpleasant. He stared at Zheng Yi, speaking coldly.

"A mere inner disciple, until now, can still speak so confidently in front of all of us. Are you so fearless in the face of danger? I must say, I admire you a little."

"Or do you think you have some trump card? That you can single-handedly oppose so many of us here?"

"Regardless of which one it is, I think you, as an ordinary inner disciple, are truly wasting your talents..."

Li Mingqi looked at him and suddenly laughed coldly, slowly saying,

"I'll give you a chance. Why don't you kneel down now and pledge your loyalty to me?"

"Then go out and kill the person in charge of the Qi family. From now on, follow by my side, and I guarantee you wealth and prosperity. Your future path of cultivation will be smooth..."

His gaze was full of deep meaning, and the people around had already gathered, as if Zheng Yi's refusal would immediately bring forth the Ten Thousand Tons of Thunder technique.

The terrifying aura approached Zheng Yi. If it were an ordinary inner disciple, they would probably be frightened out of their wits by now.

Zheng Yi remained seated, calm and composed. He even took the time to savor a cup of tea before raising his head, smilingly saying,

"Can't everyone accept the reality? Don't keep indulging in past glory."

"After all, there's an old saying that goes, 'A phoenix without feathers is not as good as a chicken.' Senior Brother Li, do you agree with this?"

Zheng Yi's voice became lazy, his eyes filled with a mocking expression as he looked at the few people, giving off an indescribable feeling.

"The Assimilating Soul Sect has long ceased to exist. Everyone should accept reality."

"What rules? Which rules? Who established these rules? Why am I not aware of them?"

"Daring, you..."

Zheng Yi's words were like a thunderclap, shocking even Li Mingqi and the others. After their intense exchange just now, they already knew that Zheng Yi was audacious.

But they never expected that Zheng Yi would be so audacious as to not even recognize the sect.

This sentence immediately left Li Mingqi and the others speechless, unsure of how to refute it.

Before Li Mingqi could speak, there was suddenly a commotion outside, and a group of Qi family cultivators burst in, standing directly behind Zheng Yi.

Outside the door, a strong smell of blood began to waft in.

The people Li Mingqi had arranged to assist outside had been silently eliminated, without any indication of an alarm being raised.

The development of the situation was unexpected. Zheng Yi remained calm, sipping his tea. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was clear.

"Such audacity, such methods!"

"We originally thought we were just taking advantage of the chaos, but it turns out we were the ones being played. It seems that you are the one fishing in troubled waters..."

Li Mingqi couldn't believe that a mere inner disciple had such means and courage, making it impossible for the Qi family, which had been managed like an iron plate, to make any progress.

The Qi family members they had been trying to win over all this time dared to openly resist him, a true disciple of the sect, and instead stood behind a lowly inner disciple.

"We've already said that if Assimilating Soul Sect is destroyed, it's destroyed. What's most important is to look forward..."

"Although using borrowed power and driving away tigers while swallowing wolves is a good strategy, it still seems a bit petty when used too often."

Zheng Yi sneered.

"If you're short of breath and guilty, then you're even more useless."

Overnight, all the high-level combat power of Assimilating Soul Sect had been lost, and after the internal turmoil, only a few disciples remained. The tiger skin and the banner no longer frightened anyone.

What sect's true transmission? What descendant of a Foundation Building Stage elder? Now they were all nothing.

Without strength, they couldn't be considered anything.

"I admit that I underestimated you, but unfortunately, in the end, it's strength that matters in this world, right?"

"Killing you, we will still be the ultimate winners..."

Li Mingqi's face turned as cold as frost, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

His aura surged, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the Law Weapon flying swords around him all floated in the air. With a single command, his followers would all mobilize.

With the elite cultivators cultivated by their sect, they could definitely crush the same-level cultivators of those small clans. For the upper sect, the Qi Refining cultivators of a mere family were only slightly stronger than ordinary independent cultivators.

However, in the instant they activated their techniques, everyone's expressions changed drastically, including Li Mingqi. His pupils suddenly dilated as he stared fixedly at Zheng Yi. A sharp pain rose from within his body, and all the flying swords he controlled fell to the ground.

"You actually poisoned us!"

For a moment, the disciples of Assimilating Soul Sect felt the presence of toxins in their bodies.

They hurriedly fled to the Qi family's territory and received warm hospitality from their fellow disciples. After all, being in a high position naturally bred contempt for small local families, so although they were still cautious, they were one step behind.

Naturally, they never expected that the Qi family would have put slow-acting, colorless, and tasteless poison in their food.

This poison was not an ordinary poison, but a spiritual poison that targeted cultivators.

It was extracted from the blood poison of the zombie progenitor, Cain, and had never appeared in this world before, making it impossible to guard against.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for the spiritual poison to erupt.

"When did you poison us?!"

"What kind of poison is this? Our poison-detecting spells completely failed to detect it..."

The situation has developed beyond Li Mingqi's imagination, completely different from what he initially anticipated.

Zheng Yi's hidden agenda is one aspect, but on the other hand, the Qijia, a small Qi Refining family, unexpectedly refused to be swayed by their true disciple and instead followed closely behind Zheng Yi. This goes against common sense and caught Li Mingqi off guard.

"Talking more is useless. Let's settle this with our hands!" Zheng Yi said, "Senior Brother Li has impure motives, so I can't act like a gentleman either. Although it may not be honorable, it's a case of tit for tat."

"Goodbye, everyone!" Zheng Yi waved his hand, and the cultivators from the Qijia immediately rushed forward, killing all of Li Mingqi's followers who had fallen to the ground due to poisoning. They mercilessly slashed them with their swords, showing no mercy.

"Damn it! Zheng Yi, I won't rest until one of us is dead!" Li Mingqi unexpectedly took out an antidote pill and swallowed it, instantly calming his aura.

Moreover, because he had the highest cultivation level, he had a certain degree of suppression over toxins, and he quickly regained his combat power.

However, he didn't immediately choose to save people or fight Zheng Yi. Instead, he turned around and used his escape technique, decisively fleeing the scene.

"Now he seems more like a true disciple, acting decisively and leaving when he says he will," Zheng Yi commented.

"Unfortunately, when cutting grass, one must remove the roots. I don't have the habit of letting a tiger return to the mountain!"

Watching the figure crash through the gate and fly out, Zheng Yi moved and chased after him.

He didn't let others pursue, after all, Li Mingqi was a true disciple of the sect, and his strength was not weak. He was the descendant favored by the three elders of the Foundation Building Stage. He had unknown trump cards, even if he was poisoned now, the Qijia and others couldn't handle him.

As they chased and fled, Li Mingqi's escape technique flowed smoothly like flowing clouds and water, as fast as lightning. However, Zheng Yi's Body Refining and Qi Refining cultivation were both at their peak, and their actual combat power was extremely strong. How could they let him escape?

Until they reached a beautiful mountain and water location, Zheng Yi intercepted Li Mingqi.

In fact, Zheng Yi had many ways to catch up to him, but the reason he waited until this point was simple. Although they had already torn their faces and were destined to fight to the death, Zheng Yi wouldn't go easy on him. The other party was interested in the resources in his hands and the entire Qijia, and he was interested in the identity of the other party as a true disciple.

After all, Li Mingqi was not just an ordinary sect's true disciple, but the most valued descendant of the three elders of the Foundation Building Stage. What kind of resources did he have? What secrets did he bring out from the sect? It was hard to say.

Zheng Yi wanted to maximize his benefits and didn't want to conduct the fight in a crowded place. The current location was extremely remote, making it easier for him to make a move.

"This place is beautiful. Senior Brother Li has found a good burial ground."

"Hmph! I really admire your courage."

"You dare to chase after me alone. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? As long as I kill you, the Qijia will have no way out. By then, the Qijia will be under my control, right?!"

Li Mingqi sneered, his aura surged, and two magic swords rose up, flowing in the air like fish.

But facing Zheng Yi's attitude, he always felt that something was off. His eyes kept moving, as if he was really considering something.

"Who said I wanted to fight you one-on-one? You're thinking too much..."

"It just so happens that I have a pet here. It has a very violent temper and likes to stretch its muscles from time to time. As long as you defeat it, there's no need to say anything else, I'll let you leave."

As he spoke, Zheng Yi reached into the pet bag at his waist, a flash of light passed by, and suddenly an enormous shadow enveloped them from above.

A terrifying aura of blood and death instantly exploded, blowing away the calmness around them. The surging power stirred up a violent wind, making it almost impossible for Li Mingqi to stabilize his figure.

He swallowed hard, struggling to raise his head and look up. He saw a huge bat-like creature, like a small mountain, casting a large shadow with its terrifying wings, its lantern-like eyes staring at him.

The intense and overwhelming pressure made Li Mingqi lose focus, as if he was recalling the feeling of facing the ancestor of the sect. That terrifying pressure almost crushed one's soul and made it impossible to breathe.

That was... the soul-shaking power that only the Foundation Building Stage possessed.

Li Mingqi seemed to remember some horrifying scenes. His face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.

For a moment, Li Mingqi fell silent, irritating the ancestor of the zombie blood bat, Cain. With a flap of its wings, Li Mingqi was sent flying.

The body collided directly with the rock wall, leaving a deep imprint. Blood sprayed from the mouth as the person pointed at the blood bat ancestor Cain, saying, "How... how is this possible?"

"You can actually command a monster at the Foundation Building Stage? You..." Zheng Yi flashed and appeared in front of Li Mingqi, whispering.

"To be honest, at first, I didn't want to kick a man when he's down. I have too many things to do and it's troublesome..."

"As fellow disciples, considering our shared bond, it would be best if you left peacefully. You, me, and everyone else would benefit. Unfortunately, your greed knows no bounds. You actually set your sights on the foundation I painstakingly built as your junior. I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to die, senior brother."

"No, you can't kill me. I can give you treasures. The ancestors left me many secret techniques, all of which I can give to you. Spare my life."

"Oh, by the way, I also have one of the three major secret techniques of the sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Yi swung his long sword and stabbed it directly into Li Mingqi's neck, causing blood to spurt out.

His words abruptly stopped, his eyes bulging. He never expected that Zheng Yi wouldn't even give him a chance. He struggled like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.

"If you won't talk, then everything is mine!"

In an instant, Zheng Yi activated the "Black Evil Technique," and the flames of Xuanmo surged, directly extracting Li Mingqi's soul, preparing to refine it.

Compared to the lies spoken by the living, he preferred to believe the words of the dead.

The Xuanmo flames burned Li Mingqi's soul, causing it to contort in mid-air. His soul scattered, his mouth wide open in agony, but no sound came out.

Zheng Yi watched expressionlessly. This was the fate of a loser. When Li Mingqi became greedy, his fate was sealed.

The originally unstable soul, under the burning of the Xuanmo-colored flames, turned into a silver substance, soft like fine sand.

Zheng Yi carefully put it away. It contained many of Li Mingqi's memories, and he needed to find a safe and quiet place to carefully extract useful information.

After searching for useful items, including the most important storage bag, Zheng Yi unexpectedly found a storage ring on Li Mingqi's right big toe. He couldn't help but sigh. This guy was indeed cautious.

Li Mingqi's body directly turned into flames and dissipated in the wind.

Returning to the Qi family, everything had already been cleaned up. After instructing Qi Lin a few words, Zheng Yi went directly to a secluded place for closed-door cultivation.

In the secret room, a gentle light illuminated the enclosed space. Zheng Yi circulated his cultivation technique, calming his inner energy. Then he opened his eyes and took out the silver substance.

This wasn't the first time Zheng Yi had performed soul searching, but now that his strength had greatly improved and he had been studying the Soul Seizing Banner for a long time, he was already an expert in manipulating souls. In the past, he couldn't collect fragments of a cultivator's soul memories.

This soul searching technique was already familiar to Zheng Yi. He circulated his cultivation technique, and the silver substance followed the guidance of the soul searching technique, flowing towards his mind and gradually disappearing.

Some fragments of memories continuously poured into Zheng Yi's mind, gathering in his heart. Of course, these fragments were incomplete and he could only vaguely discern useful information. It was impossible for Zheng Yi to completely read a person's entire life with his current cultivation level.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi wasn't a voyeur. He directly skipped over most of the useless memories and searched for the useful information.

Before long, Zheng Yi found the most desired thing from his soul.

At this moment, the demonic fire in the palm of his right hand had already refined the storage ring over and over again, completely unlocking its restrictions.

Before this, Li Mingqi's storage bag had already been thoroughly searched by Zheng Yi. Besides some spare clothes and a few Law Weapons, there were only some backup spirit stones.

It was clear that the storage bag was just a decoy for outsiders.

The storage ring hidden on his right big toe was the real place where various resources were stored.

Zheng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils contracting, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

"Truly worthy of being the direct descendant of the elder at the Foundation Building Stage. Li Mingqi's words before his death turned out to be true."

"He actually brought out the 'Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique,' one of the three major secret techniques of the Assimilating Soul Sect. What an unexpected joy!"

Even Zheng Yi couldn't help but admire Li Mingqi's audacity. He had directly stolen the "Five Organs Temple Feeding God Technique" during the chaos of the sect, indicating that he had long planned his escape.

Or perhaps, Zheng Yi believed more that this was the arrangement of the third elder. Otherwise, how could a true disciple overcome numerous obstacles and obtain this core inheritance of the sect?
