Chapter 2021 Black Hole
The promised place is located inside a stable magical illusion.
When Qin Sang arrived, Young Master Xin and Steward Luo were already waiting there, as well as several Xin family cultivators who had returned early.
Pei Gongsheng was sitting cross-legged on a rock not far away, breathing deeply and entering a state of meditation. I wonder if he had been practicing here all the time and had not left.
"Did Elder Qin discover anything?"
As soon as Qin Sang arrived, Butler Luo couldn't wait to step forward and ask.
The ones with the highest cultivation level present were Qin Sang and Pei Gongsheng, and only they could enter deeper.
Pei Gongsheng was proud of his status and was unwilling to do such a small task of exploring the way. They did not dare to urge him and could only wait for news from Qin Sang.
"Uncle Luo," Young Master Xin called Butler Luo softly, without any urgency in his tone, and advised, "Elder Qin just came back, he must need to rest, it won't be too late to discuss it after everyone arrives."
"Young master is teaching me that I am too concerned and confused. Please forgive me, Elder Qin," Butler Luo said ashamedly.
"It's okay," Qin Sang naturally wouldn't care about such a small matter, and said bluntly, "Although I will help you keep an eye out, I am mainly looking for the Earth Flower Jade Vine for myself. In the past year, I haven't found any place that can cause the Talisman Fire to move abnormally."
Before they knew it, they had entered Fengju Yumen for a year and had only explored a small part of it. Apart from the unexpected encounter with Su Nu, there had not been much progress.
Hearing this, Steward Luo was secretly disappointed, knowing that he could not be impatient. For high-level cultivators with long lifespans, a year was nothing, and it was normal for the search to take eight or ten years.
Steward Luo respectfully invited Qin Sang to sit in the carriage, but Qin Sang looked at the Xin family cultivators beside the carriage. These were Xin family's Divine Transformation cultivators who had led the team out to explore the way and were now back to report.
"Have any of you fellow Taoists discovered any signs of the existence of the Dihua Jade Vine?" Qin Sang asked.
Several people looked at Luan Che, and each took out a jade slip and presented it to Qin Sang.
"Reporting to Elder Qin, we have not found the Dihua Jade Vine, but according to Elder Qin's instructions, we will carefully explore the marked places along the way and record them. Please review them, Elder Qin."
Qin Sang put away the jade slip, boarded the Luan carriage, sat behind the jade table, and checked them one by one.
These people were quite conscientious. The records in the jade slips were very detailed, which showed that they had been carefully explored. If they had forged the records, they would not have been able to hide it from Qin Sang's eyes.
Qin Sang looked at each place one by one and eliminated them one by one.
How mysterious and dangerous these places are in the rumors are, in fact, almost all of them are exaggerated. In the eyes of low-level monks, they are naturally mysterious everywhere, and in the process of dissemination, rumors are spread, and most of them are not worthy of their reputation.
While Qin Sang was checking the jade slip, the others returned one after another, and finally Qu Zhen also rushed back with two Hengsha monks. Fortunately, the monks in several groups only lost manpower due to accidents, and the whole army was not wiped out.
After summarizing the information, nothing was found and the troops had to be further divided.
"Next, you will explore deeper and deeper. It will become increasingly dangerous, so everyone should be careful and put safety first," Young Master Xin warned.
"As ordered!"
Everyone bowed and was about to leave when Pei Gongsheng's eyelids twitched and he woke up from his trance. He said coldly, "How long will it take to find these trash? I don't want to waste my time on you. Give me some talismans!"
Seeing that Pei Gongsheng was actually going to come out in person, the Xin family's master and servants were all overjoyed and immediately handed over a stack of talismans, "Thank you, Senior Pei."
Pei Gongsheng snorted, put away the talisman paper, turned into a white light, and disappeared into the depths of the void.
Qin Sang ordered Hengsha to continue to do as he ordered, and then he said goodbye to Young Master Xin. After flying for a while, he came to an empty dark void. He suddenly put away his light and said indifferently, "I don't know which Taoist friend you are. You have followed Qin for so long. Why don't you show up and have a chat?"
"Elder Qin's spiritual perception is indeed sharp," a man walked out of the darkness, it was Pei Gongsheng.
Seeing this person, Qin Sang was not surprised at all and replied, "Because Pei Gongsheng did not deliberately hide his aura, he should have no ill intentions towards Qin, otherwise Qin would have already escaped."
"Really? How can an elder of the Five Elements Alliance be a coward?" Pei Gongsheng's eyes flashed with disbelief, "However, Elder Qin is right about one thing. I have no ill will towards you."
As he spoke, he looked towards the interior of Fengju Yumen. "This place is full of dangers. Pei has only been here three or five times in his memory, so he doesn't know much about this place. Why don't you and I go together? Not only can we take care of each other, but it is rumored that there are countless treasures in the fragments of the Ancient Sword Pavilion. You and I will join forces to find treasures, and we can share the harvest equally and each take what we need. The matter of the Xin family is secondary. Pei once made a promise to the previous head of the Xin family. He agreed to come out of the mountain out of consideration for the relationship. Otherwise, Pei would not bother to care."
"So that's how it is. Pei Gongsheng is a very trustworthy person!"
Qin Sang showed admiration on his face, and then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, in Qin's eyes, nothing is more important than the Dihua Jade Vine, and the same goes for the affairs of the Ancient Sword Pavilion and the Xin family. If we go together, I'm afraid it will delay Pei Gongsheng's treasure hunt."
"Is that so? It seems that I will not have the chance to travel with Elder Qin. I, Pei, wish Elder Qin to get his wish soon," Pei Gongsheng said with a smile.
"Thank you for the good words from Pei Gongsheng!"
Qin Sang bowed and flew away.
Looking at Qin Sang's back, Pei Gongsheng's eyes gradually became cold. His figure flashed and disappeared, leaving behind a cold snort.
……
On the way to the place where Su Nu was in seclusion, Qin Sang was still thinking about the relationship between Pei Gongfeng and the Xin family. Based on what Qin Sang saw and heard, it might not be as simple as Pei Gongfeng said, but he had no interest in understanding it, nor did he intend to get involved in it and lean towards either side.
At that time, if a dispute really arises, just take advantage of the opportunity, or just withdraw directly.
The place where Su Nu went into seclusion was a valley with flowing springs and lush green trees. It looked like a paradise on earth, and it was difficult to tell whether it was a magical illusion or a real thing.
As soon as he entered the valley, Su Nu's voice came from inside, "Brother Qin is back?"
Qin Sang responded, secretly feeling strange, as Su Nu's voice seemed a little abnormal.
Before he finished speaking, Su Nu walked out from a tree house in the forest, which surprised Qin Sang. Su Nu looked pale and frail. When she flew out from the tree house, she looked like a female ghost or a dying patient.
How long has he been away? What happened during that time?
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Qin," Su Nu said with a guilty look on her face, "I was previously hunted down by two enemies, and I was left with a stubborn illness that has yet to heal. Although it has no effect in normal times, I'm worried that I'll hinder you when you explore the Sword Pavilion later. It just so happens that I know a secret technique, so I thought of using it to cure my stubborn illness, but I ignored the dangers of the secret technique. Unexpectedly, I was too hasty and made a mistake halfway through, and I almost went astray..."
Hearing this, Qin Sang felt helpless and didn't know what to say. A dignified Void Refining cultivator could make such a mistake. It could only be said that Su Nu was too strong-willed and unwilling to rely on others. The strong all have arrogance that is no less than that of others.
"Is the injury serious?"
Qin Sang looked at Su Nu and saw that her breath was weak. Even if she was not really possessed, her strength must have been greatly damaged, and her injuries were even more serious.
"Fortunately, I realized something was wrong and stopped in time. I only lost some energy, but the stubborn disease has been basically resolved. I may need to stay in seclusion for a few years, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explore Jiange with Brother Qin in these years," Su Nu sighed.
"Don't worry too much. Just focus on healing. The Sword Pavilion fragments have been around for so long, so a few years won't make a difference. I'll go collect information and comprehend the ancient taboos in the Sword Pavilion first. After you come out of seclusion, we'll join forces to explore."
Qin Sang comforted him.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Qin." Su Nu flipped her jade hand and took out a green jade pendant. "I cannot be distracted during my retreat. This jade is the key to the valley formation. Brother Qin, take this jade and you will be able to enter and exit the valley at will and come back to rest."
Qin Sang couldn't refuse, so he accepted the jade pendant. However, although Su Nu looked calm, Qin Sang secretly decided to come here less often in the future, as no one wanted to be approached while healing.
The two of them exchanged a few words, and Qin Sang said goodbye to Su Nu without entering the valley.
After flying for a distance, Qin Sang turned around, looked in the direction of the valley, frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and flew towards the set target.
It is a good thing that Su Nu is in seclusion, so there is no need to find a reason to send Su Nu away next time.
For Qin Sang, the most important thing is to find a way out. Since it concerns his life and property, the way out must naturally be in his own hands and cannot be known by others, not even Su Nu.
Regarding Ziwei Palace, what Qin Sang cares most about is the Tianshan Mountain that seals Bingyao, and the teleportation array leading to the Seven Killing Palace.
This formation is located in a Sword Path Hall. Qin Sang remembered that when the Immortal Palace appeared, there were also great changes there, and many sacred peaks rose from the ground. I don't know if this place is separated from the Ziwei Palace. If I find the Sword Path Hall, I may be able to directly enter other sword pavilions.
While Su Nu was recuperating, Qin Sang was exploring Fengju Yumen and searching for the fragments of Jiange. Most of the time he would just take a look and leave after making sure it was not what he was looking for.
Next, he carefully selected some places from the records of Qu Zhen and others and rushed there in person, but was disappointed again and again.
Qin Sang was not discouraged and kept searching, going deeper and deeper into Fengju and Yumen.
On this day, when the time agreed with Zhuque arrived, Qin Sang came out from the depths and rushed to the place. He immediately heard Zhuque's loud shouting.
"You're finally back! Come with me!"
Zhuque grabbed Qin Sang's sleeve and pulled Qin Sang forward impatiently.
Qin Sang glanced around and found that the Fire Jade Centipede and the two demon lords were not there. He frowned and asked, "Are you in danger?"
Zhuque snorted, "What are you thinking! We found a good place. One of the two guys who were exploring the way died inside. Little Centipede and the others are guarding there."
"Oh?"
Qin Sang became interested. He wrapped Zhuque with his true energy, turned into lightning, and flew to the place Zhuque said.
Passing through patches of dark void and magical illusions, they finally came to a place full of magical illusions.
These magical illusions are arranged very closely, with almost no gaps in between, and the conflicts between them are more intense than elsewhere, making it daunting.
This was still within the normal range, but as they got closer and closer to their target, abnormalities gradually began to emerge.
"How is it? Is there anything strange?"
Suzaku held his head high, proudly saying, "I was the first to discover it!"
"You did a good job this time."
Qin Sang was generous in his praise.
He felt an invisible force spreading from the inside out. This force was very obscure, but extremely powerful, causing the surrounding magical illusions to distort and thus cause conflict.
Obscured by the fluctuations of the conflicting magical powers and illusions, only a sharp enough spiritual perception could detect the existence of this power. If Suzaku had not reminded him, he might have overlooked it.
They continued to go deeper and deeper, and finally reached their target, where they saw Luo Hou and other monsters. There was indeed only one prisoner left.
"right here!"
Suzaku raised his wings and pointed forward. There was nothing there but endless darkness.
Unlike the void outside, it is extremely dark here, without a trace of light, like a dead space.
"There seemed to be an invisible hole ahead, emitting a strong suction force all the time. The guy had not walked far when he was suddenly sucked in. We couldn't even rescue him in time..." Gui Hou said with lingering fear.
The captive who was exploring the way was sucked away, and immediately lost contact with the restriction on him, and it was estimated that he was in great danger. A cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage was swallowed by the darkness without any resistance. If it weren't for the pathfinder stone, they might have been the ones to suffer.
They tried various methods but still didn't dare to get too close, so they could only invite Qin Sang to come.
Listening to their description, Qin Sang stared into the darkness with a gleam in his eyes.
In his field of vision, the scene in the darkness gradually changed, and a corner of a huge outline gradually emerged.
This place is not empty, but there is a huge black disk. The black disk is rotating, and it looks very slow, but it gives people a feeling of being extremely powerful and unstoppable.
The black disk is not a physical object, but a powerful force that flows all the time, a super strong suction force that forms substantial fluctuations in the void. And in the center of the black disk, it seems that there is a hole just as Gui Hou said, a hole that can swallow everything!
The strange thing is that the black disk is too stable, and the power in the hole is unusually calm. If you are sucked into the hole, will you be torn to pieces on the spot, or will you be sent to another place?
Could there be a strange passage?
It was for this reason that Zhuque called Qin Sang over. As long as the hole was explored, perhaps the best way out could be found.
However, there was nothing to be known ahead, so how could one rush in recklessly? The more Qin Sang looked, the more frightened he became. Once he was sucked into the hole, he would not be able to escape the suction. Even if it was a passage, if it led to the depths of Fengju Yumen, a place more dangerous than the hole, wouldn't it be a dead end?
"Master, do you want to send him in again to try?" Gui Hou brought up the last prisoner.
This man had empty eyes and a dull expression, without the slightest fear. Dying here would be a relief for him.
Qin Sang shook his head. A Spiritual Transformation cultivator would disappear into the void in an instant if he was caught by the suction force. Moreover, this person wanted to die, so there was no point in referring to him. He had to go into battle himself, or ask another Void Refining cultivator for help.
He moved slightly and approached the black disk cautiously, feeling the suction and observing the changes in the cavity.
