Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2157 Fight Again

"This, accidents are inevitable in this world..."

The young master was speechless for a moment, and he chuckled dryly, glancing at Ji Jian and the other two who were fleeing. "Compared to them, we can be considered lucky. These two are the unlucky ones. They must have fallen into the path of the evil beast, which is why they are so panicked."

Qin Sang stared at the source of the pressure, then looked at Ji Qiong and the other man, and found some unusual signs. He said, "They should not be the target of the fierce beast..."

As they spoke, the two tried their best to hide and retreated carefully.

They were not quite sure about the strength of the beast in the fusion stage, but they were sure that if they were targeted by this beast, they would be in great danger!

They didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, for fear of attracting the attention of the fierce beast.

"They are not qualified to be hunted down by the great villain!"

The young master said decisively, "If the great villain attacks casually, you and I will have to retreat, let alone these two!"

Qin Sang nodded secretly. What the young master said was true. If Ji Jing and the other two angered the big villain, they would not even have a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang pondered and said, "At this moment, there are probably not many combinations in the Holy Land that can defeat you and me. Even if we gather three or five people, we dare not provoke the Great Fierce. Time is still short, and the masters of the same clan have no time to gather together. It is not feasible to organize multiple masters to work together to hunt down the Great Fierce. In this case, who is the one who angered the Great Fierce?"

Upon hearing this, the young master's expression changed slightly. "Unless someone is unlucky enough to fall into the den of the great beast, or is stupid enough to break in by themselves, this great beast may not have been provoked by someone! The first two situations are almost impossible to happen. Could it be that an unknown change has occurred, prompting the great beast to leave the den?"

Qin Sang did not comment.

They did not slow down at all, retreating again and again, both of them keeping a close eye on the movements of the fierce beast.

At this moment, in the far east, a gray fog was spreading rapidly across the land. Wherever the gray fog passed, it brought the breath of death, and the flowers, plants, and trees withered one after another. Gray hairs grew on them, devouring their lives and corroding them into a mass of mud in the blink of an eye. No matter whether it was mortal plants or spiritual flowers and trees, nothing was spared.

The ferocious beasts living in the path of the gray fog suffered a great disaster. Some were still sleeping in their nests, completely unaware that death was approaching, and lost their lives in a daze.

Their bodies were covered with fur, and their corpses quickly rotted into white bones, turning this place into a dead zone.

"Roar!"

A fierce roar was heard in the gray fog. On the surface of a large lake, there were floating rotten bones. The skeletons of these bones were very large, and they must have been very tall and mighty when they were alive.

Among the piles of bones, there was a beast that was only half the size of the bones, but had the same appearance as the bones. It was still alive. It was the only living creature in the area that survived. The aura it exuded was comparable to that of a cultivator in the Void Refining Realm, which might be the reason why it survived.

But the beast was shaking all over, with fear and pain in its eyes. Fear actually overcame its ferocious instincts, and it suddenly leaped onto the shore and ran wildly. However, the power of the gray fog continued to erode it. Hair grew on some parts of its body, which was suppressed by its instinctive power, but soon emerged from other places, causing its figure to stagger and look extremely weird.

At this moment, a huge shadow appeared above the gray fog, covering the void.

Suddenly, something fell from the shadows, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be a giant bird claw.

The bird's claws had three toes and its skin was as rough as a vine. It looked like a pillar falling from the sky, right on the path of the ferocious beast's escape.

'boom! ’

Several peaks were crushed by the bird's claws, leaving three long gullies on the ground and a deep claw mark. When the bird's claws were raised, the ground was dead silent. The beast made no sound and did not even put up any resistance before being trampled to death.

This step seemed to be just a coincidence. The owner of the bird claw never showed up from beginning to end, nor did he pause for the slightest. The shadow in the gray fog quickly moved away.

……

distance.

Qin Sang and the young master confirmed again and again that the beast was not coming for them, and only then did they feel a little relieved.

"Master Qin, what do you think happened in the lair of the great evil?" the young master pondered.

"There won't be another ferocious beast coming to kill us," Qin Sang said.

The young master said, "These great beasts have their own territories and generally will not intrude into other territories. However, it is definitely not ordinary to scare away a great beast. There may be a hidden opportunity."

After a pause, the young master looked in the direction where Ji Jian and the other two had fled, and said, "There must be signs of trouble in the Great Evil's lair. They may have seen it."

"Fellow Daoist Si wants to capture them?"

Qin Sang also looked up. In order to avoid great danger, they did not dare to act rashly and retreated far away. Ji Jian and the other two had disappeared from their sight.

However, knowing the direction Ji Jing flew, it would not be difficult to find them.

"Doesn't that person have an old grudge against Master Qin? Master Qin won't try to stop me, will he?"

The young master glanced at Qin Sang and said, "If Master Qin lets them go, they won't appreciate it. The battle for the holy land will ultimately be attributed to the battle between the Heavenly Tribe and the Water Tribe. Master Qin got in with the help of the Mirage Jade of our You Clan, which means that he has the mark of the Heavenly Tribe engraved on him. Once the masters of the Water Tribe meet Master Qin, they will never show mercy to him unless there are greater benefits to attract them and temporarily form an alliance with him."

Qin Sang already knew these principles without the need for the young master to explain them to him. The so-called training in the holy land would ultimately be inseparable from the struggle between the Water Division and the Sky Division camps.

But Qin Sang only had a brief understanding of it in order to avoid accidentally breaking any taboos, and had no intention of getting involved.

These have little to do with him as a foreigner. No matter how precious the treasure is, it may not be suitable for foreign cultivators. Even if he can get it, it will probably be difficult for him to take it out in public.

The identity disguised with the help of the power of elixir will be exposed once the fight begins.

Qin Sang's purpose of entering the holy land was very clear, which was to meet Liuli as soon as possible. If everything went well, he could sit back and watch, waiting for the right opportunity to appear, and then take action.

What he was worried about was that if he took action against Ji Qiong now, it would attract the beast, and there might even be an even more terrifying existence behind the beast.

The young master knew what Qin Sang was worried about, and said, "We might as well follow them quietly and wait until we are in a safe area before taking action. There won't be too many cultivators in the same area, so we don't have to worry about someone getting there first."

Qin Sang nodded, and the two of them immediately changed direction and quietly went over there.

……

In a valley,

Ji Jian and another master of the Quanfeng tribe were both still in shock. Ji Jian stared closely at the outside of the valley, while his companion was concentrating and sensing.

"How is it?" Ji Qiong couldn't help but ask. His cultivation was inferior and his spiritual perception was not as sharp as his companions.

"That pressure has gone away," the companion opened his eyes and said softly.

Ji Qiong felt relieved, but couldn't help complaining, "Fortunately, they didn't come for us! How unlucky are we to encounter a monster that looks like a holy land right after we entered it!"

The companion sighed, "I don't know why the beast left its lair. We just suffered an unexpected disaster! When we fled, we left too many traces. I don't know if the beast will come back. We can't stay here for long. Let's leave as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Ji Qiong nodded repeatedly, "The sooner we meet up with Master Quan, the better!"

His companion glanced at him and said, "Aren't you going to get the Elephant Soul Sand? If you refine the Elephant Soul Sand, you should be able to break through to the middle stage, and we will be safer when walking in the holy land."

"Let's confirm the direction first. If it's on the way, try to get the Elephant Soul Sand. Otherwise, meet up with Master Quan and ask for help," Ji Qiong said. This fierce beast taught him a lesson. He only felt safe when he was with Master Quan.

"Mr. Quan really thinks highly of you!"

A hint of envy flashed in the companion's eyes, and his figure flashed and fled out of the valley.

Ji Qiong also used his body skills to catch up, but just as he flew out of the valley, the surroundings suddenly became dark. The holy land also had a clear distinction between day and night, just like the outside world. Now it was daytime, but it suddenly turned into night.

The earth and mountains disappeared out of thin air, and he was pulled into an endless starry sky. The surrounding area was bright with countless stars suspended in the air.

The familiar scene made Ji Jing stunned, bringing back unpleasant memories, and he immediately felt it was unbelievable.

"How is this possible! That person is either a human or a demon. How could he appear here? Could it be..."

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

However, Ji Qiong's reaction was not affected, and he threw out a black seed the moment he fell into the sword formation. It was almost a replay of the old scene, when Ji Qiong tried to use this treasure to break the sword formation and nearly lost his life.

The vines took root and sprouted branches. They looked like spirit snakes before, but now they looked like giant pythons, with far greater power than before. Moreover, this time he did not let the vines occupy the sword formation, but surrounded himself, layer by layer, forming a solid barrier, with self-protection as the first priority.

However, Ji Qiong soon discovered something was wrong.

In the last sword formation, there were only two stars in the west and the south. Now the east is also shining with stars, and only the north is still a chaotic nebula.

This means that the enemy's strength is also increasing!

What shocked Ji Jing even more was that he used all his strength to activate his spiritual ear ability, and his ears vibrated constantly, but he could not sense the presence of his companions.

Before entering the holy land, he and his companions worked together to refine a treasure, which was controlled by his companions. Even if he was trapped, his companions could contact him through this treasure, and the two of them could jointly activate this treasure to defeat the enemy.

Now my companions have no reaction at all. Does it mean that they don’t even have the chance to use this treasure, or are they also trapped and killed?

The other party must be traveling with a companion, and the other person is likely to be a master of the Siyou clan. What if the companion is no match for that one...

The more Ji Qiong thought about it, the more horrified he became. Recalling the scenes of the past, if he had broken through to the middle stage, he might have been able to fight, but now he had no confidence at all that he could defeat Qin Sang.

Those who can cultivate to this level are rarely indecisive, not to mention that Ji Jing had suffered a great loss at the hands of Qin Sang.

With an ominous premonition in his heart, Ji Qiong no longer hesitated. Before the power of the sword formation could really be unleashed, his blood suddenly surged throughout his body. His skin turned blood red, blood oozed out from his pores, and his body turned into a blood gourd.

'boom! ’

With a loud bang, Ji Qiong's body exploded, and blood, flesh and internal organs flew everywhere.

He had a body destroyed by Qin Sang before, but that was passive. Now he took the initiative to self-destruct. With his cultivation, if he lost his body, it would cost him a lot to recover it. Last time, he was rewarded by Master Quan, which was a blessing in disguise. This self-destruction might affect his breakthrough plan.

But things have to be prioritized. As long as I can escape now and get the Elephant Soul Sand, I will be able to break through one day.

Therefore, Ji Jian made a prompt decision to detonate his own body. The blood and minced meat contained amazing power, like a blood cloud, exploding in the starry sky, dyeing the starlight blood-red. The vines turned into countless blood pythons, pouncing towards the stars with their fangs and claws.

At the same time that the blood cloud rushed into the sword formation, a white light flashed at Ji Jing's location, and a naked little man appeared.

Ji Qiong appeared right where he was. He did not try to break out of the sword formation, but stood still, opened his mouth, raised his head to the sky, and let out a long howl.

The whistle was sharp and contained a strange power. It caused invisible waves in the void and spread rapidly. At this time, the starry sky had just been hit by the blood cloud, and the whistle took advantage of the momentum to break through the sword formation blockade.

Qin Sang watched Ji Jing's every move and understood his intention. He couldn't help but secretly praise this man for his ruthlessness and decisiveness. Realizing that something was wrong, he decisively blew up his body and tried to attract the beast with his roar.

If Ji Qiong succeeds, he and the young master will have to give up this action, and Ji Qiong will have a chance of survival.

If we can't escape, it would be no loss if we could die together with the enemy.

Unfortunately, Ji Jian had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.

Qin Sang looked at Ji Qiong coldly without any movement. Just when the whistle was about to break through the blockade and resound through the world, a cold snort sounded.

"He's a character!"

A hairy hand appeared in the sky, like a bear's paw, as big as a mountain, and slapped down fiercely. It dispersed the vibrations caused by the whistle, and then grabbed at Ji Jing in front of his horrified eyes.

Ji Jing's fate was already determined.

Qin Sang withdrew his gaze and looked outside the formation.

In order to win a quick victory, he and the Junior Master divided the work in advance. Finally, they chose Ji Jing and planned to capture him alive, which led to all these twists and turns.

This time, the young master brought the Wuding Bajitu in, and another person was trapped in the diagram. During the battle with King Lu, the power of the Wuding Bajitu was damaged, but it was still a rare treasure.

Qin Sang no longer paid attention to the battle situation here. He put away his sword formation and rushed into the treasure map.

Soon, the two of them quietly left the valley and fled into the distance without looking back, until they could no longer sense the fierce pressure.

The young master successfully captured Ji Jing alive and took him aside for interrogation.

Qin Sang waited for a while, only to hear the young master say, "We guessed correctly. Something must have happened in the Great Evil's lair. This person once saw a huge burst of light from where the Great Evil came from. It is certain that it was not another Great Evil chasing it."

"Fellow Daoist Si, do you want to go and take a look?"

Qin Sang asked in a deep voice.

He left his name in the Taixu Golden Book, and had to help Si Huang with all his strength and try to avoid unnecessary complications. However, the young master was Si Huang's confidant, and this person was not in a hurry, so he was not worried about delaying important matters.

"Isn't Master Qin curious about what could scare away the evil? According to past experience, it could be a mysterious mansion that suddenly appeared in the world, or it could be a passage to leave the holy land in the future. No matter which one it is, it should not be missed. If we don't even dare to take a look, what are we doing here?" Young Master asked. (End of this chapter)
