After the meal, Qin Xin left Qin Lin's courtyard.
However, Qin Xin did not return to his own courtyard, but instead headed towards the clan's hunting grounds.
After Elder Mo entered the hunting park's secret realm for secluded cultivation, Qin Qianfan entered and investigated several times, discovering that his life essence was rapidly dissipating and that he might pass away soon.
Qin Xin walked along the paths between the villas.
Along the way, they saw many young members of the Tianyuan Qin clan. When they saw Qin Xin, their eyes were filled with fervor, as if they regarded him as their idol.
Danqing's voice suddenly rang in Qin Xin's mind, "Who would have thought that someone whose martial bone was taken away and who became a cripple could have achieved what he has today? But all of this is thanks to me."
Hearing Danqing's self-praise, which sounded like a peddler hawking his melons, Qin Xin, though already used to it, still felt a bit of a headache.
Suppressing the urge to complain, Qin Xin asked with some doubt, "Teacher, what exactly is that Senluo Death Seal, and is there any way to remove it?"
Qin Xin knew that the mysterious black markings on Elder Mo's body were the Senluo Death Mark, but when Qin Xin asked about it before, Elder Mo did not tell him, as if there were some connections behind it and he did not want Qin Xin to be involved.
After a moment of contemplation, Danqing's voice rang in Qin Xin's mind, "To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this. As for how to get rid of it, I have no idea. However, I advise you not to act rashly. If you get entangled with this thing, you'll likely face a lot of trouble!"
As if guessing Qin Xin's thoughts, Danqing also advised him.
Qin Xin did not reply and soon traveled to the outside of the hunting park's secret realm.
The guards outside did not stop Qin Xin when they saw him arrive, and they all bowed slightly to him.
After Qin Xin nodded slightly, he gently waved his hand and opened the passage to the Hunting Garden Secret Realm.
Step into it.
The entire secret realm was deathly silent, as if no monsters existed there anymore.
Since Elder Mo entered this hunting park secret realm, the clan no longer places any captured demonic beasts there. So now, apart from Elder Mo, there are no other living creatures in this hunting park secret realm.
Qin Xin had only taken a few steps when he saw a black light emanating from not far away.
Qin Xin could sense through his spiritual sense that Elder Mo was currently at the location where the black light was emanating.
Upon reaching Elder Mo, Qin Xin discovered that Elder Mo was now nothing but skin and bones, resembling a dried-up corpse, with black patterns covering his entire body.
These black lines, like maggots clinging to bones, continuously drain the vital energy and life essence from his body.
Qin Xin bowed slightly to Elder Mo, his eyes filled with emotion. Elder Mo had dedicated his life to the Tianyuan Qin Clan, yet he had ended up in such a state.
Qin Xin understood that this might be the last time he would see Elder Mo after parting ways with him. He could sense that Elder Mo's body was already at its limit and he could pass away at any moment.
Just as Qin Xin was about to leave, suddenly, the mysterious fragment of the map inside the Niwan Palace showed a strange movement.
"What's going on!" Danqing immediately emerged from the mysterious fragment of the map, his face also filled with astonishment.
He didn't assume that Qin Xin had done something to cause the mysterious fragment of the map to move, but Danqing only became alert after seeing Qin Xin's bewildered expression.
Several streams of green energy drifted out from the mysterious fragments of the map.
After seeing this energy, Qin Xin realized that the source of the anomaly was the tree in the fragmented map space.
"What a waste!" Danqing watched the green energy drift away, his face full of regret.
Nourished by green energy, he has benefited greatly, and his spiritual body can easily last for several more decades.
However, what happened next made both the old man and the young man very wary.
The green energy seemed to have spotted the black patterns and flew away immediately.
The moment it touched the black patterns, it made a crackling sound, as if the two things were completely incompatible.
Qin Xin and Dan Qing were also unable to make a move at this time, as they both knew the terror of the Senluo Death Seal, so they could only watch quietly from the sidelines.
"laugh!"
With a loud bang, a phantom image of a large tree appeared above Qin Xin's head. The surrounding forest's death seal seemed to be terrified of this tree and began to shrink back.
Qin Xin had not expected that the sapling in the fragmented map space would have such abilities.
Just as he was pondering, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared behind Elder Mo. Within this black mist, roars could be heard, and a pair of blood-red pupils would occasionally appear, making it appear extremely eerie.
Upon seeing the illusory figure behind Elder Mo, Danqing exclaimed in surprise, "What is that thing?!"
Before anyone could react, the phantom of the tree was already rushing toward Elder Mo's back.
"ah!"
A painful scream echoed around, and the entire Hunting Garden Secret Realm trembled continuously, as if something wanted to cross space and step directly into this place.
In that instant, the tree shone brightly, and countless emerald green leaves shot into the black mist.
"ah!"
Under the constant impact of the green leaves, the black mist grew smaller and smaller, but the pair of blood-red eyes remained fixed on Qin Xin.
In the final instant the black mist dissipated, a voice, as if emanating from hell, echoed from within it: "Damn you! How dare you obstruct my resurrection! I will remember you!"
As the sound faded, the black mist behind Elder Mo also instantly dissipated, along with the Senluo Death Seal, which turned into wisps of black energy that left his body and then completely vanished.
Upon hearing that voice, Qin Xin froze on the spot and said to Danqing beside him, "Teacher! That voice!"
Danqing's expression turned somewhat grim, and he said warily, "I heard them, but I didn't expect those guys to still be here!"
"Teacher, what exactly is behind that black mist?" Qin Xin asked immediately.
After staring at Qin Xin, Danqing solemnly uttered two words, "Demon! Clan!"
Upon hearing about the Demon Race, Qin Xin was somewhat surprised. He had naturally read about this race in their clan's records, and the decline of spiritual cultivators throughout the Tianxuan Continent was partly due to the war between the Demon Race and the human race.
In the end, all the demons were killed, and the remaining demons were completely sealed away. For tens of thousands of years, they could not be seen in the Tianxuan Continent. But unexpectedly, they appeared in Elder Mo's body.
Looking at Old Master Mo, whose eyes were now closed, Qin Xin fell into deep thought. He became curious about Old Master Mo's past and whether his own missing grandfather and father were also related to this.
