Chapter 311 Ambition
The starving ghost was stunned by Zhou Qing's ruthlessness and instinctively shouted, "Yes!"

Then he realized that he, as an envoy of the Central Continent's demonic path, had been too weak in front of this genius from the Western Continent, so he said, "You killed our Central Continent's demonic path members, and we will never let this go!"

Zhou Qing glanced at him and said, "If I didn't need you to deliver this message, based on this statement alone, you would never be able to leave this forest again. You may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment."

The starving ghost knew something was wrong and immediately soared into the sky, but before he could reach the air, he felt a heavy blow. His left arm and shoulder were torn apart by a tremendous force.

The starving ghost cried out in pain, his breath caught in his throat, and he collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his wounds, quickly staining the ground crimson.

He dared not run away any longer, and lay prostrate on the ground, staring at Zhou Qing in terror.

Zhou Qing sneered, "Go back and tell your Demon Lord to restrain his subordinates and stop causing trouble in the Western Continent. Otherwise, I will definitely go to the Demonic Path headquarters and punish them severely."

This time, the starving ghost dared not show any more bravado. He lowered his head and leaped into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Qing then turned his gaze back to the group of demons from the Western Continent.

When Zhou Qing swept his gaze over them, all the demonic cultivators froze, their hearts leaping into their throats.

Zhou Qing said, "Come to the Dharma propagation center to see me."

After saying that, the hole in mid-air slowly closed.

The members of the demonic path looked at each other, and dared not utter a sound for a long time.

Later, Hongtong was the first to speak: "What should we do? Do we really have to go back?"

The leader of the Ascension Sect, Yun Shang, glanced at him and said, "You dare not go back?"

Hongdong remained silent.

The others also gave an awkward smile.

Li Ning, the leader of the Extreme Emotion Sect, sighed, "As you all have seen, the two envoys from the Central Continent's demonic path were treated like pigs and dogs in his hands."

"His supernatural powers are so great that they are beyond comprehension. If we go back now, we may still have a chance to live. If we really disobey his orders, I am afraid that we will die without a burial place immediately."

Everyone sighed, turned around, and headed towards the Dharma propagation site.

……

Daoyun Peak.

Bai Yujing got goosebumps all over her body.

He witnessed this method again, the terrifying method that killed his master, the Great Illusion Demon Lord, and this time he was right beside Zhou Qing, personally witnessing the process of him casting the spell.

He personally witnessed Zhou Qing'an sitting atop Daoyun Peak in the Hongfa Daoist Temple, where he easily killed two Golden Core demon cultivators far away in Zhongzhou.

Bai Yujing thought to himself, he could never be a Foundation Establishment cultivator, nor could he be a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul cultivator... He wasn't even an ordinary cultivator at all!
He's practically a god!
Otherwise, how could it possess such great power?

Bai Yujing felt boundless reverence and stood respectfully to the side with her head bowed.

Zhou Qing dismissed Bai Yujing and left, feeling a pang of regret as he thought about the two demonic cultivators from Zhongzhou he had just seen.

This is truly a golden opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the Central Continent Demonic Path is breaking the rules and sending people to cause trouble in the Western Continent, he can hold the Central Continent Demonic Path accountable and bring them under his command.

In fact, not only the demonic path in the Central Continent, but also the immortal path in the Central Continent and even the other three continents will eventually be under his rule.

In recent years, cultivators from the five continents have acted independently, resulting in a fragmented power structure and constant internal strife, making it impossible to realize humanity's true potential.

He needs to integrate these forces to prepare for potential future crises. Furthermore, he needs these people to expand his power in the Demon Abyss world.

This is actually a good opportunity to test the Central Continent Demonic Path, but unfortunately, his strength is still too weak. It is too early for him to want to annex the Central Continent Demonic Path, so he can only let this opportunity slip away.

A few days later, the demonic group finally arrived at the gate of the Dharma Propagation Temple.

The Hongfa Daoist Temple had received Zhou Qing's orders not to make things difficult for the demonic cultivators, so they successfully arrived at the summit of Daoyun Peak.

Looking at the scene around Zhou Qing, the demonic cultivators finally realized that it was here that Zhou Qing had killed the Taotie Demon that day.

This place is tens of thousands of miles away from Laobie Mountain.

Realizing this, everyone in the demonic path felt a chill run down their spines and became even more afraid of Zhou Qing. Standing in front of Zhou Qing, they were all like children who had just entered school, silent and trembling in the face of a stern teacher.

Zhou Qing glanced at them and said, "I kindly ordered Bai Yujing to call you back, wanting to give you a chance. Why are you running away?"

No one knew how to respond.

Yun Shang, a member of the Ascension Sect, put on a smiling face and said, "We are truly guilty of not being able to understand the True Lord's good intentions. We beg the True Lord not to hold it against us and to allow us to repent and reform. We will definitely obey the True Lord's orders from now on."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "You're quite clever."

“You are all members of the demonic path, and you understand the power of the Demon Abyss better than those of the immortal path. I called you back with the intention of integrating the power of human cultivators for the future.”

"Humans once occupied all eighty-one continents of the cultivation world, with an incomparably prosperous cultivation civilization. True immortals were everywhere, and Mahayana cultivators gathered in large numbers. All cultivators could see the limits of the immortal path, that realm of living as long as heaven and earth. But now we can only be confined to Qionghua Continent, and the strongest among us is only at the Nascent Soul stage."

"Our living space has been compressed, our path to immortality has been interrupted, and the situation is getting worse and worse."

"Heartbroken by this, I intend to unite the power of human cultivators to fight against the powerful enemy and restore the former glory of the eighty-one continents of the cultivation world."

"That's why I was willing to put aside the divide between immortals and demons, forgive you, and let you contribute to the great cause. But you are so stubborn."

The demon cultivators were all terrified and said, "We will never dare to do it again."

Zhou Qing said, "If we don't punish you, how will you know the consequences?"

"Now I will demote you to slaves on Daoyun Peak for ten years, to serve me. If you truly repent after ten years, you may leave on your own."

The demon cultivators all looked dejected, but seeing Zhou Qing's high and mighty demeanor, they had no choice but to agree.

Then Zhou Qing shielded them one by one from the gaze of the Demon God from the Demon Abyss.

As before, when he cut the black threads binding the demonic cultivators, the black threads immediately transferred to his Dao Heart World.

With the blessing of nearly a thousand demonic cultivators, Zhou Qing felt that his Dao Heart World had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The most obvious difference is the scope.

Initially, the Dao Heart World was only a land area of ​​about a hundred miles in circumference. With the blessing of the demonic cultivators, the Dao Heart World has expanded to a radius of two hundred miles, which is nearly four times its original size.

In sync with the changes in his Dao Heart World, the golden light protecting his body became even thicker, allowing him to open larger holes and maintain them for longer periods.

Unfortunately, he himself was still unable to transfer through the hole. His physical body seemed to be anchored in the cultivation world, unable to break through the barrier of the cultivation world to enter the Demon Abyss world, and naturally could not use the Demon Abyss as an intermediary to transfer.

At most, they could only extend a portion of their limbs, just like they had done with the demonic messengers of the Central Continent before.
