This trust was somewhat heavy, Chu Mo sighed, stood up, and instead of heading directly to the Ancient City of the Qin family, he directly use his Dao techniques and spoke a sentence into the void.

The entire Qin family was suddenly alarmed.

One elder was not within that city but was cultivating in seclusion inside a mountain more than three hundred thousand miles away from the city.

The elder was thin and wore a gray Daoist robe, sitting cross-legged and had not moved for many years. He suddenly opened his eyes, and two divine lights burst forth. In his eyes, the sun, moon, and stars rose and sank, and great worlds came into being.

This was a Quasi-Supreme Realm powerhouse who had been at this realm for many years. He had been in seclusion, hoping to make further progress at this level.

For practitioners of this realm, the path to becoming Supreme had already been found, and they had embarked on it. But limited by the rules and restrictions of Heaven and Earth, they could only remain at this level, unable to truly establish their Dao and take that step.

But they were not willing to give up, hoping to strengthen their Dao foundation through continuous refinement, accumulation, and settlement. Even if they could not take that step in the end, they still wished to be the strongest within the domain of the Quasi-Supreme.

The elder was named Qin Qiu. Many, many years ago, during his time, he had been the most outstanding Heavenly Genius of the Qin family. No one matched him – he was the best!

Even in the entire Heavenly Realm, he was one of the few most outstanding people.

His life's turning point was when he reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm and met that person. At that time, that person was not called the Blood Demon Ancestor; he was called Ding Ling.

Qin Qiu, as the most outstanding practitioner of that era, was naturally very proud. Although not dismissive of everyone, not many could easily catch his eye.

But Ding Ling was different!

Ding Ling was more outstanding!

At that time, Ding Ling had already reached the domain of the Quasi-Supreme and possessed immense knowledge and rich experience.

From Ding Ling, Qin Qiu had learned a lot. Saying that Ding Ling was like half a master to him was not an exaggeration.

Therefore, to this day, Qin Qiu's gratitude towards Ding Ling ran deep, and in his heart, Ding Ling's position was irreplaceable.

Even though he knew that Ding Ling had implanted a demonic seed in him.

Because when Ding Ling first brought out the demonic seed, he had clearly told him what it was.

"It's called the demonic seed, a very evil thing from the Demon Clan."

Ding Ling took out a demonic seed very calmly and said to Qin Qiu, "I have chosen to turn demonic, but my allegiance is to the most noble and prestigious person within the Demon Clan."

"Turning demonic... is it really okay?" Qin Qiu had asked Ding Ling at the time.

Ding Ling had smiled, "The so-called demon is but the direction of one's heart. If your heart leans towards demons, then even if you do not choose to turn demonic, you are still a demon. Are such people scarce in the Heavenly Realm?"

Qin Qiu deeply agreed, thinking that what Ding Ling said made a lot of sense. In his view, the so-called Demon Clan was just another race. Whether to turn demonic or not was just such a matter.

"If the heart does not lean towards demons, what could it matter even if your body resided in a den of demons?" Ding Ling had said.

For top practitioners, many things simply came down to choices. They all believed they could free themselves from the control of others. This was a form of confidence, but also a conceit.

Ding Ling detailed the various dangers of the demonic seed to Qin Qiu and also explained how it would affect his bloodline and descendants. After that, he talked about the benefits of the demonic seed.

"It allows you to quickly become stronger, your power will be many times greater than other practitioners of the same realm! Your bloodline will be transformed, and your spiritual sea will become more resilient! At the same time, it will rapidly propel you onto the path to establishing your Dao!"

Qin Qiu believed Ding Ling's words, but his only concern was how it would affect his family's bloodline and descendants if they all turned into the Demon Clan.

"Their overall enhancement won't match yours, but they will still be stronger than other practitioners of the same realm. And then, they will be controlled by you, and you will be controlled by me," Ding Ling said straightforwardly to Qin Qiu.

Qin Qiu nodded, "Teacher Ding has conferred great favors upon me, and I willingly submit to his control!"

Ding Ling showed a gratified smile, "There are no other effects! That's all. One day, the Demon Clan will surely descend directly upon this world. The Yanhuang region has already fallen, and those Supremes are all dead. But in the Demon Clan, many Supremes still exist. Thus, the unification of the world under the Demon Clan is inevitable. No one can escape this fate."

Afterwards, Qin Qiu implanted the demonic seed into himself and chose to turn demonic without any reservations.

Many years had passed since then, but even to this day, he had no regrets.

Thus, upon hearing a summon that only a practitioner of his realm could hear, Qin Qiu's eyes immediately shone with a cold and ruthless killing intent.

He slowly stood up; inside his seemingly frail body hid unimaginable terrifying power.

With one step, he arrived in front of Chu Mo.

At that time, three others had already reached there before Qin Qiu.

Qin Lieyang, Qin Liexing, Qin Lieshui.

The Three Fierce of the Qin family!

These were three powerhouses from the Qin family whose heritage spanned many generations before Qin Qiu!

During the era when Qin Qiu rose to prominence, these three rarely appeared in public.

In those days, they too were a generation of great renown, having even received personal guidance from the Drifting Empress.

Although it was only a clone of the Drifting Empress, it was almost indistinguishable from the Empress herself.

Back then, Qin Qiu had asked Ding Ling, the Ancestor of the Blood Demon, a question: "Does the demonic infection spread downwards or upwards?"

At the time, Ding Ling had responded, "It can only infect those of a lower realm than you."

At that time, Qin Qiu actually wanted to entice the three Qin ancestors into accepting the demonic seed alongside him, but he knew all too well that the three ancestors would never agree to it.

So, even up to this day, these three ancestors likely remained unaware of this matter.

Qin Qiu slightly furrowed his brow; he was somewhat uneasy inside. He did not know how the three ancestors would react upon learning of this matter.

At that moment, Qin Lieshui, the third of the Qin's three ancestors and also a slender old man, looked at Chu Mo with some confusion, "Why have you summoned us, fellow Daoist?"

They were not ordinary supreme beings who could be deceived by the true immortal aura on Chu Mo. The fact that Chu Mo could emit the sound of the Great Dao, which only Quasi-Supremes could hear, calling them out of their secluded cultivation, sufficiently demonstrated Chu Mo's abilities. He clearly qualified to speak with them on equal terms.

Chu Mo glanced at Qin Lieshui, feeling somewhat surprised. The Qin family... still has someone who hasn't succumbed to the demonic seed? Could it be that he had reached the realm of the Quasi-Supreme before Qin Qiu fell to the demonic seed?

The demonic seed can only infect downwards, not upwards, affecting only one's descendants. However, if there were individuals among the descendants who had surpassed him in realm at the time of the infection, they too would be immune!

None of Qin Qiu's descendants were stronger than him; thus, nearly no one in the Qin family had escaped. Because those older than Qin Qiu had almost all died long ago.

Chu Mo bowed to Qin Lieshui, "May I ask how I should address you, senior?"

"You need not call me senior. Just call me Qin Lieshui. These are my two brothers, Qin Liexing and Qin Lieyang. This one here... is my descendant, and also the most powerful cultivator in the Qin family, Qin Qiu." Qin Lieshui's demeanor was very amiable; he did not look down on Chu Mo because of his youth.

In fact, the three Qin ancestors had not appeared in the world for many years. Their appearance here today was unknown to anyone in the distant Ancient City of the Qin family.

Otherwise, it would have caused a sensation.

Chu Mo greeted Qin Liexing and Qin Lieyang one by one, and then when he turned his gaze to Qin Qiu, he sighed slightly, "So you are Qin Qiu?"

Cold flashes flickered in Qin Qiu's eyes as he spoke indifferently, "So what? You know of me?"

"If possible, I wish I had never heard your name," Chu Mo said.

The three Qin ancestors by his side became aware that something was amiss; Chu Mo's attitude towards them was completely different from his attitude towards Qin Qiu.

"Daoist friend, what exactly is going on? Has someone from the Qin family offended you? Or is there some grievance between you and Qin Qiu?" Qin Liexing asked with a frown, looking at Chu Mo. His voice was mild, but there was a hint of displeasure.

Indeed, anyone would feel displeased. Being abruptly awoken from secluded cultivation only to find that the other party might be here to cause trouble, it was already very composed of them to remain calm.

"Why bother talking to such a person? Just suppress him," Qin Qiu said lightly. His brows flashed with a fierce light as he prepared to strike Chu Mo.

Chu Mo stood there and casually said, "Qin Qiu, do the three ancestors know about your demonic possession?"

"Boy, how dare you spout such slander!" Qin Qiu exclaimed, swinging his palm directly at Chu Mo.

At the realm of Quasi-Supreme, striking someone was merely a thought away.

His movements were too fast!

And his strike was earth-shattering.

That one palm, if it struck even a star, could not withstand it.

The force contained in the palm carried a strong tearing sensation, and at such close distance, Chu Mo seemed doomed.

A cold smile flickered in Qin Qiu's eyes; he even saw the scene of this man being killed by his palm. That would be exhilarating!

As for the three ancestors, being his descendants and also Quasi-Supremes themselves, even if they knew the truth, what could they do? Would they really kill him with their own hands? Even if they were capable of such righteous severance, what about all the direct descendants of the Qin family throughout the city?

Kill them all?

Thus, Qin Qiu truly did not care about the reaction of the three ancestors after they knew the truth. The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill this youth, who emitted the aura of a true immortal yet was filled with eerie vibes.

"Qin Qiu, stop!"

"Hold on!"

"Stop!"

All three ancestors were shocked by Qin Qiu's reaction. They had barely exchanged a few words, and they didn't even know who the young man was, yet Qin Qiu had already made a move?

Moreover, what was this about demonic possession? Qin Qiu possessed by demons? Was this true?
