When Li Ming wanted to find out the location of the demon behind the scenes, he noticed a subtle change in Wang Yong's expression. He was only hoping that the other party might actually know.

"this……"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

A tremendous killing intent shot out from Li Ming's eyes, and Wang Yong was instantly startled.

"I don't know, but I have information..."

"explain!"

"The other party seems to have the ability to create clones. He will regularly go to different places at the same time to collect the martial artist hearts we have obtained... He will come to this place tomorrow night!"

Hearing this, Li Ming nodded slightly. Wang Yong's words were somewhat believable and didn't seem like something he made up on the spot. If this guy wasn't stupid, he should know that if he dared to fabricate stories, his fate would be worse than death!

"How many people did you send when you attacked Black Iron City? How strong were those demons?"

Li Ming pressed for an answer.

"About thirty people, and in recent days, they have been attacking nearby sects and families, resulting in the loss of many lives."

"His strength is unclear... but even a martial artist at the Refining Spirit Realm would be no match for him. When I went to destroy a sect before, I personally witnessed him use a monstrous demonic technique to directly kill the sect's Refining Spirit Realm Grandmaster-level leader."

Without hesitation, Wang Yong recounted everything he knew.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming did not entirely believe the other party's words. He pointed a finger at the other party's heart, and a powerful surge of true energy, imbued with numerous martial arts essences, was injected into his body.

"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by Wang Yong's pitiful screams.

Li Ming had damaged the organs inside Wang Yong's body, and his true energy was still relentlessly ravaging him. This pain was not only physical, but also caused by the martial arts intent that Li Ming had unleashed, making Wang Yong suffer unbearable pain and causing him to faint on the spot.

If it weren't for the regenerative power of the demon warriors, he would have died long ago!

Li Ming also instructed the martial artist next to him to tie him up and take him away. Whether the other party made it up or not, they would know tomorrow.

As for whether doing this is a bit cruel, he might feel a little reluctant if it were an innocent person, but for this guy who claims to be innocent but has actually harmed countless people, letting him die sooner would be considered merciful!

At this moment, the crowd gathered around, and after learning that Li Mingzheng was Lin Qiancheng's disciple, they began to praise the two of them.

Li Ming and Lin Qiancheng didn't pay much attention to it.

After a brief conversation, the warriors learned that the imperial court would handle the demons, which put their minds at ease.

Seeing that many martial artists had become frightened and left, Li Ming did not stop them. After all, it was already quite good that they had come at all. After witnessing the strength of the demon martial artists, he knew that this was no longer something they could handle.

Seeing this, Li Ming generously let them leave first. All the demons and warriors here had been killed, and Qing Shi City would be safe for the time being.

In the end, only Lin Qiancheng and his apprentice Li Ming were left alone.

Lin Qiancheng no longer felt the joy of their previous reunion. Seeing Li Ming before him, he looked worried. He understood Li Ming's intention: to completely capture the demon behind the scenes.

However, seeing the power of these demon warriors, he understood that the demons behind the scenes were not so simple. Even though Li Ming was now strong enough to easily kill these demon warriors, it did not mean that he could defeat the demons behind the scenes.

"I've heard that the capital city has also sent out experts. Perhaps... we should reconsider?"

Hearing Lin Qiancheng's worried words, Li Ming pondered and said, "The people sent by the state capital this time are from the Qi family. They are not on good terms with me. Although I don't know if that's the reason, we haven't heard from them. I don't know what they're planning."

"If the other party doesn't resolve this issue soon, or allows this demon warrior to run rampant... I plan to investigate first. After all, the other party is just an avatar, so it shouldn't be able to defeat me."

Seeing that Li Ming had his own opinions, Lin Qiancheng didn't say much. Having such a good disciple was a problem; he had surpassed his master in no time...

The two returned to Qing Shi City, and looking at the familiar place, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Things have changed, and people are no longer the same.

This place has truly suffered many calamities. In the past, it was plagued by demonic organizations, and now even more demons have emerged.

They followed Lin Qiancheng back to the Lin residence.

"Brother Li...you're back?"

Seeing his father return safely and then seeing the handsome young man beside him, Lin Ping was filled with excitement and joy.

He stepped forward and gave Li Ming a hug.

Li Ming also laughed and said, "I can't just sit idly by when demons appear this time."

This time, Li Ming returned to Qing Shi City to help his master and Lin Ping. He no longer needed some of the cultivation resources used by Golden Core cultivators, as the resources from killing many Golden Core warriors had almost filled his storage space.

That night, the Lin family set up a banquet. No outsiders participated, and the three of them reminisced over the wine.

Li Ming also talked about the many things he experienced after leaving Qing Shi City, such as destroying the Lin family and flattening Lianyun Village...

Hearing about Li Ming's fascinating experiences, Lin Ping felt a sense of longing.

He only regretted that he wasn't strong enough to go through these things together.

However, during the time Li Ming was away, he was not idle. His strength had also greatly improved, and his cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Condensation Realm.

For the average person, such a breakthrough speed is already quite fast.

Unfortunately, Lin Ping was far beyond Li Ming's reach.

"Master's talent is indeed remarkable..."

Looking at Lin Qiancheng's entry, Li Ming noticed that the original "damaged foundation" had disappeared, and his cultivation level had reached the fourth level of the Golden Core stage. He thought to himself.

"Something's wrong... something's happened!"

Suddenly, Li Ming sensed an unusual aura, and his expression changed.

"what happens?"

Lin Qiancheng said in a low voice.

Li Ming gestured towards the courtyard outside with his eyes, then stood up and calmly said:

"There's a powerful aura outside, and it doesn't seem friendly... Master, Brother Lin, please be careful, I'll go check it out!"

After saying that, Li Ming moved swiftly and arrived in the courtyard.

The Lin family's original servants had all disappeared, replaced by a hunched figure that looked particularly eerie under the moonlight.

【Name: Demon Chaos Seven (Avatar)】

[Level: Intermediate Demon]

[Entries: Demonic Body (Red), Intermediate Demonic Bloodline (Red), Demonic Arts (Pale Red), Demonic Power (Blue), Devouring (Blue), Bloodlust (Blue), Regeneration (Blue), Superhuman Strength (Blue), Bloodlust (White), Ruthlessness (White), Arrogance (White), Irritability (Gray)]

"Is this an incarnation of the demon behind the scenes?"

Li Ming couldn't help but be alert at this moment. If an avatar had so many entries, its true strength must be even greater.

Moreover, a mid-level demon?

Li Ming was shocked. This demon was not weak, and this was only considered to be at the intermediate level. This demon race was too blessed by nature.

Without a doubt, there are also higher-ranking demons among the demon race.

Upon seeing Li Ming, Demon Chaos Seven's eyes widened instantly, his pupils flashing with blood-red light, as if he had seen some rare treasure. He couldn't help but exclaim:

"Your heart is beating strongly, and the delicious scent of your blood is irresistibly drawing me in... Good, excellent!"

"What incredible luck I have to encounter such a fine food!"
