Chapter 590: The Origin of the Tunling Clan

Within the Devil Suppressing Prison on Mysterious Spirit Island, Xiao Ming slowly withdrew his hand. A faint shadow of a monstrous creature with eight demonic arms could be seen in a mass of pitch-black Demonic Qi. The once immense Cosmic Evil Devil King was now reduced to a speck of soul beast that had not been eradicated.

"Cosmic Evil Devil King, you do have some ability. But trying to escape from me? That's still wishful thinking."

Killing a Reincarnation Stage powerhouse depended entirely on how fast Xiao Ming wanted to finish. Unfortunately for the Cosmic Evil Devil King, he was not interested in playing with it at this moment. Thus, even though the Cosmic Evil Devil King had managed to run away for a certain distance, it was still killed in a swift and decisive manner.

Xiao Ming looked at the soul beast in his hand and said, "Now, tell me, what's the relationship between the Tunling Clan and your Fiend Clans?"

"Hmph!"

The Cosmic Evil Devil King spun around in Xiao Ming's palm. It tried to escape but found that it was impossible. Finally, it just snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to answer.

A smile crept across Xiao Ming's lips.

"I admire your stubbornness."

Hiss!

Multi-colored flames shot up and engulfed the Cosmic Evil Devil King. The extreme heat enveloped it and seemed to vaporize the black Qi emitted by the creature, causing it to let out piercing screams of agony!

"Ahh!"

Xiao Ming finally stopped after a long time.

"Are you going to talk now?"

"Ahh!"

Xiao Ming continued to scorch the soul of the Cosmic Evil Devil King without waiting for an answer.

This action made the Flame Master on the other side feel a numbness in his scalp. He could sense how terrifying the flames in Xiao Ming's hands were. Just one look made him feel like his soul was being burned. Being an expert in playing with fire himself, he could sense that these flames must be extraordinarily effective against souls.

It was only after three rounds of burning that Xiao Ming finally came to a halt.

"Hehe, ready to talk now?"

"Stop burning me, I'll tell you!" After weighing its options, the Cosmic Evil Devil King decided that it wasn't worth suffering torture for such information, and promptly replied weakly.

"The Tunling Clan is also a branch of our Saint Race. In ancient times, they went to occupy a lower plane just like us, but there was no news of them after that..."

"Oh?" Xiao Ming was somewhat surprised. "The Tunling Clan doesn't seem to have Demonic Qi as strong as your Yimo Tribe..."

"That's because the Tunling Clan's ability is somewhat special. They can devour and imitate the bloodlines of the beings from the Great Thousand World. Thus, their Fiend aura is very faint. Their clan's strength is also much stronger than ours," the Cosmic Evil Devil King replied weakly.

"I see." Xiao Ming nodded in understanding.

"The Tunling Clan you mentioned is also part of the Fiend Clans?" Flame Master was a bit curious at this moment.

"It should be, but that clan has already been annihilated in my plane," Xiao Ming replied with a smile. Then he put the Cosmic Evil Devil King away with a wave of his hand.

"I'm taking this guy with me. Whether you want to leave or stay is up to you."

"Wait!" the Flame Master called out as Xiao Ming was about to leave.

"You have the aura of the Ice Master on you. Where is she?"

Xiao Ming looked at the Flame Master and slowly said, "The Ice Master is now called Ying Huanhuan. She is my disciple and is now waiting outside. Don't try anything funny. Otherwise, you'll have to face the consequences."

He hadn't forgotten that in the original story, it was this Flame Master who caused trouble, leading to a time when Ying Huanhuan's Ice Master strength was out of control.

After speaking, he disappeared from the Devil Suppressing Prison with the Great Desolation Tablet.

Shortly after, Xiao Ming reappeared at the summit of Mysterious Spirit Mountain. Ying Huanhuan and Qing Tan hurriedly approached to greet him.

Xiao Ming nodded at the approaching lovely figures, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed them some jade bottles. "Keep this Core Spiritual Birth Serum."

The Core Spiritual Birth Serum was something he had obtained earlier at the bottom of the lake.

"Master, isn't this a bit too extravagant for us?" Ying Huanhuan caught the bottle and was surprised by the jade-green liquid inside. Was this really something that practitioners at the Yuan Dan stage like them could use?

Qing Tan also felt a bit uneasy as she said, "Are we worthy of such a thing, Master? We haven't been of much help to you..."

Their Master seemed to be overly generous with them, yet in reality, they didn't seem to be of much help to him.

"This little liquid is nothing to your Master."

Xiao Ming was slightly amused. He never skimped on resources for his own people, especially his disciples. He understood the importance of resources in cultivation.

"When my Master was guiding me, he also made every effort to provide me with ample resources. If it weren't for my Master's support back then, I wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly."

Gently pinching Qing Tan's chin, Xiao Ming smiled, "Just accept these things. You can think about helping your Master after you two become strong figures."

"Hehe, don't pinch it, it's ticklish... Thank you, Master." Qing Tan giggled and dodged Xiao Ming's teasing 'claws' in a playful manner. Hearing her Master say that made her feel reassured. In the future, she would definitely fight by his side!

After stowing away the bottles, Ying Huanhuan suddenly noticed a tall, handsome man standing nearby. He was dressed in a golden robe, with fiery red hair and a face that exuded warmth and gentleness.

In the man's deep eyes, a hint of tenderness suddenly appeared. Then, he smiled slightly and spoke softly, "Junior Sister..."

A chill ran through Ying Huanhuan's body as she felt somewhat uncomfortable at the manner in which this man was staring at her. She took a few steps back and regarded him with a slight frown. "Who are you? I don't recall Master having a male disciple. I am the Senior Sister here."

The Flame Master was momentarily stunned. However, he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "So, Little Junior Sister hasn't fully recovered yet."

After a brief pause, he continued, "I am the Flame Master."

The Flame Master? One of the legendary Eight Ancient Masters? But what does that have to do with me?

Ying Huanhuan was startled upon hearing this name. She cast a glance at him with her pretty eyes before taking another two steps back and hiding behind Xiao Ming. Finally, she shook her head and said.

"My Master is here. You better not talk nonsense or I'll ask him to beat you up!"

The Flame Master was taken aback by Ying Huanhuan's words. He glanced at Xiao Ming and noticed the latter's stern gaze. Remembering Xiao Ming's previous words and how he treated the Cosmic Evil Devil King, he couldn't help but feel intimidated.

"I won't insist since you say so."

"Alright, there is nothing more to say. We should leave now. And don't follow us," Xiao Ming interjected when he noticed the dislike Ying Huanhuan had for the Flame Master.

"Senior, I wish..." The Flame Master began to express his wish to stay with the group, but before he could finish his sentence, the three had already disappeared without a trace.

The Flame Master looked at the empty night sky and stood in silence for a long time. After letting out a soft sigh, he also disappeared from the scene.

...

Sky Merchant Region

It was a relatively unusual place within the Chaotic Demon Sea. It stood out not only because it served as a connecting point for several sea regions, but also due to the astonishing abundance of rare treasures gathered within its borders. As a result, Sky Merchant Region's renown within the Chaotic Demon Sea eclipsed even that of the Heaven Wind Sea Region.

The Sky Merchant Region was formed from over a thousand islands, and could practically be called a continent on the sea. However, the complex terrain was only part of what made this place complicated. The interactions and conflicts between the various factions within the region could best be described as tumultuous and chaotic.

At the heart of the Sky Merchant Region was Sky Merchant City, the central hub of this vast area.

Sky Merchant City

Xiao Ming, along with his two disciples, descended gradually from the sky towards Sky Merchant City. The area surrounding them was teeming with activity, and countless streaks of light crisscrossed the sky, forming an intricate network of lights.

"How lively!" Qing Tan's large clear eyes watched the extremely lively Sky Merchant Region. Her small face was filled with excitement and feelings of novelty.
