Chapter 2207 Hongtian
'Shuh! '
The wind swept across the lake, and Hongyue descended from the sky, glancing at the young man.
The young man's expression tensed, and he stepped back slightly, saying with a smile: "Of course, Lord Hongtian's matter is more important. I will wait here for Master Qin to come back."
Hong Yue turned to look at Qin Sang and said without question: "Master Qin, Master Hong Tian is waiting for you, please follow me."
"Fellow Daoist Qin..."
Liuli looked at Qin Sang worriedly, and Qin Sang's expression was also extremely solemn.
Qin Sang had no idea why Hongtian specifically came after him. Before entering the Heart Lake, he treated him and others equally, so why did his attitude suddenly change?
Did something unexpected happen during this period, or...
Qin Sang's heart trembled when he thought of a possibility, but he had experienced countless storms and his mentality had long been as stable as a mountain. His expression was normal. He gave Liuli a reassuring look and looked at the young man again.
He didn't know what this person's intention was, but it was obvious that the summons from the Saint Realm was more important. Qin Sang didn't waste any words. He lightly stepped on the ground, flew into the air, and bowed his head and said, "Thank you for leading the way, fellow Taoist."
Seeing that Qin Sang understood, Hong Yue's expression relaxed. He nodded with satisfaction and flew away.
The two disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"This fairy..."
After Hongyue left, the young man looked at Liuli again and put on a smile.
"Friend Qin should be back soon. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly," Liuli said, and flew away without giving the young man a chance to explain.
The young man's face turned pale and blue, but he didn't try to stop it.
Liuli flew directly over the island and out of the Heart Lake. Qin Sang was summoned by Hongtian, which was too unusual, so he had to inform the leader of the Yuanxiang tribe as soon as possible.
If Qin Sang encounters any trouble, there is still a glimmer of hope if Chief Yuanxiang steps in.
Passing through the heavy fog, Liuli returned to the mountain where they had rested before, but now the mountain had been shattered.
In front of the mountain fragments, Liuli paused, sensed the energy coming from the front, and continued to move forward. Soon, he saw a blue light penetrating the fog. The light formed a long ribbon with no end in sight, floating in the air, like a winding river.
There were some figures sitting cross-legged on the ribbons, they were the chief of the Yuanxiang tribe and others.
The spiritual light ribbons were obviously the manifestation of the power of the spiritual array. With the help of the spiritual array, Chief Yuanxiang and others pushed the battle line here, providing a larger buffer in the rear.
They had just repelled a wave of beasts and were taking advantage of the gap to adjust their breathing. Liuli noticed that everyone present was a Void Realm Level 2 expert, and they all had tired looks on their faces, which showed how fierce the battle had been during the time she had entered the Heart Lake.
Now it seems that being forced into the heart lake may not be a bad thing.
Liuli's arrival startled everyone and they all opened their eyes and looked over. Seeing that Liuli was safe and sound, Yuan Jian's pupils became a little deeper.
The Yuan Xiang clan leader looked behind Liu Li, but still couldn't see Qin Sang. His expression became more and more solemn. He slowly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Master Qin?"
Liuli landed on the ribbon and transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist Qin is fine. I was just summoned by Lord Hongtian..."
"Lord Hongtian summoned Master Qin?"
Chief Yuan Xiang was stunned.
Liuli originally suspected that it might be the Yuanxiang clan leader who revealed Qin Sang's identity as the successor of Daoting, but it seemed that he was also completely unaware of it.
'Rumble...'
There was a faint vibration coming from the void.
Chief Yuan Xiang looked back and said, "The beast tide is coming. The two adults have strictly ordered not to retreat. After repelling this wave of beasts, I will find a reason to go to see Master Hongtian. Fairy, please be patient. Given Master Hongtian's temperament, if he wants to harm Master Qin, he will not send people to 'invite' him, but will directly kill him."
Liuli nodded. She knew nothing about Hongtian and could only trust the judgment of the Yuanxiang clan leader.
Next, she will inform Chief Yuan Xiang of the information she obtained from interrogating Tang Kun.
There was a strange look in the eyes of the Yuanxiang tribe leader. He thought Qin Sang was just trying to save his life, but he didn't expect that he would dare to set up a counterattack and kill him in the middle of the battle, and he actually succeeded.
"The beast tide is getting more and more intense. Now is not the time for internal strife. After it is over, I will personally ask Elder Yuan for an explanation!" Chief Yuan Xiang remained calm.
Liuli had just returned from the Heart Lake, so she could choose not to participate in this battle and go to the back to find a place to recuperate.
……
Qin Sang followed Hong Yue and flew high into the sky. The thick fog showed no signs of dissipating. There was no difference between the clouds and fog here.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyue, could you please tell me why Lord Hongtian summoned me? I can also make some preparations in advance to avoid answering irrelevant questions and angering Lord Hongtian," Qin Sang asked.
"The real person is kind-hearted. He has been patient until now before asking."
Hong Yue has also been secretly observing Qin Sang, and his tone is not as cold as before, "I am just a messenger, I don't know the reason. When I see Master Hong Tian, he will know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."
As they were talking, the two flew higher and higher, and vaguely saw a palace floating in the mist.
The palace seems to be surrounded by surging waves. It is not magnificent, but it is very delicate, fresh and elegant, with a unique charm.
"This is the water palace of King Longjiao," said Hongyue.
Qin Sang opened his eyes and looked. King Long Jiao should be another great saint from the mermaid clan.
Hongyue took Qin Sang and flew to the right side of the water palace. Soon they saw fog condensing, like a white carpet covering the ground, rising and falling like mountains, and the clouds and mist created a magnificent landscape.
"The master is just ahead, you can go there by yourself," Hongyue stopped outside Yunshan and bowed to say goodbye.
Between the clouds and mountains, it was lonely and silent, with only a cushion placed there, on which sat a man in a green shirt.
The man had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, horns on his forehead, and a rebellious temperament between his brows.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his deep gaze fell on Qin Sang.
A casual glance made Qin Sang's heart tense up. He flew over Yunshan Mountain, landed in front of the futon, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master Hongtian!"
"Master Qin," Hong Tian nodded, his tone gentle, "Have we met before?"
"I have sensed the signs of the heavenly tribulation from afar. The person who is undergoing the tribulation might be you, senior. However, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't dare to step forward to disturb you. I missed the opportunity and I deeply regret it," Qin Sang replied.
"No wonder! I didn't know Master Qin's ability at that time, otherwise I would have kept Master Qin here to discuss the Dao."
Hongtian smiled slightly.
Qin Sang was unsure of Hong Tian's intentions and kept saying, "I dare not!"
"Master, there is no need to be modest," Hong Tian suddenly changed his tone, "Did you kill the child of the ancestor of the Siyou clan?"
Instantly, Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat. His premonition had come true. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. His expression remained unchanged as he asked in confusion, "Who is the adult talking about..."
Hongtian waved his hand and interrupted Qin Sang: "Some time ago, that kid was the most active, making connections everywhere and asking people to help him get revenge. Now, the talisman on his body has dissipated, but you came out alive, and with injuries on your body. The result speaks for itself."
Hearing this, Qin Sang's tense mind relaxed a little.
What he feared most was not the news of Xian Tong's death being exposed, but that Hong Tian had seen him killing Xian Tong and others without him realizing it. You know, at that time, due to the situation, almost all of his cards were exposed!
Not to mention the Daiyu Fairy Mountain and the Yunyou Sword, the value of this small cave alone is inestimable.
According to Master Ning, only Mahayana cultivators can open up a small world on their own, and the domain of law mastered by the combined cultivators is only the prototype of the small world. They may be able to occupy several small worlds as a place of practice, but it is probably not easy to refine them into a ring.
Judging from Hongtian's tone, it seemed that he made the judgment based on the aura of the talisman.
Qin Sang was silent for a long time, and said in a dry voice: "I hope you will understand, I really have no choice, the reason is..."
"Haha, you don't have to be afraid. I'm not interested in knowing the grudge between you, and I won't stand up for him. That kid set up an elaborate ambush, but was killed in return. The old guy from the Siyou clan must have been too embarrassed to take action," Hongtian said with sarcasm.
Qin Sang's expression relaxed a little, and he became even more confused. If he was not speaking up for Xiantong, why did Hongtian summon him?
Hong Tian looked Qin Sang up and down, and suddenly said, "The two talismans disappeared one after another. The other person was the helper hired by the boy, and it seems that he was also killed by you. No matter how you did it, your mind and strength must be outstanding, and few people can match you. You are exactly what I am looking for! I am short of people around me. Are you willing to serve me?"
Qin Sang was stunned. He didn't expect the sudden turn of events. Hongtian's purpose was actually to subdue him?
"My Lord, do you want me to seek refuge with you? But I am a foreigner..."
Qin Sang couldn't guess what Hongtian wanted him to do for him, so he replied carefully.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts, and this is not just the idea of humans!
"It doesn't matter! The Taoist heir is better, maybe it will have miraculous effects!" Hongtian said decisively.
Hearing this, the scene of the secret place immediately emerged in Qin Sang's mind, and he immediately had some guesses in his mind.
In the Heart Lake, the only thing that could be related to the Dao Sect was the island and the secret realm on the island. There was indeed a mystery behind the gathering of the ancestors and disciples of the Inhumans in the secret realm. Now it seemed that Hongtian also had plans for that place.
"You should have guessed it."
Hongtian raised his eyes and looked into the depths of his heart. "It's only temporary to join you. I'm not interested in accepting a foreigner as my subordinate. Of course, I won't use you for nothing. After the matter is accomplished, you will definitely benefit from it."
It sounded like Hongtian was asking for Qin Sang's opinion and not forcing him, but Qin Sang knew that he had no power to refuse. In fact, his heart was pounding just now. He and Liuli were looking for a way to return to the secret realm, and Hongtian gave them an opportunity.
However, Qin Sang also understood that this matter was by no means simple, otherwise Hongtian would not have emphasized his strength.
"It is my honor to serve you, sir, and I dare not ask for any benefits. However, I am worried that I am not capable enough and will hinder your plans. I don't know what you want me to do, so please let me know," Qin Sang replied with a bow.
He neither accepted nor refused on the spot.
Qin Sang's cautious behavior was just what Hong Tian wanted. Hong Tian said quietly, "There are some seeds that are about to mature. I want you to find out where those seeds are for me. It would be best if you could pick some. If you do a good job, you can keep one for yourself."
"seed?"
Qin Sang was puzzled.
What exactly does Hongtian mean by "seeds", flower seeds, tree seeds, or some kind of synonym?
"The time has not yet come. I cannot explain what those seeds look like or what form they exist in. You will know when the time comes..."
After a pause, Hong Tianyu said meaningfully, "These seeds are not simple. When you strive for the fusion stage in the future, refining a seed may increase your chances of success."
"What can help me break through!"
Qin Sang's heart was shaken and he looked shocked.
The higher the realm, the rarer the elixir that can help break through the realm.
After entering the world for so long, Qin Sang has only heard of a few panaceas that can be effective in breaking through the fusion stage. All of them are rare treasures that have long been lost in the world.
Qin Sang never expected that he could get it.
He originally planned to go to the Wu Clan to find Ghost Mother and Firefly after everything was stable, and seek a way to help Tianmu Butterfly break through. Helping Tianmu Butterfly break through the seventh transformation first, and then feeding back to himself, may be the most feasible way.
In addition, there is the Qilin Origin, but with the changing world, it is hard to say whether the Qilin Origin can survive to this day, and whether he, a human cultivator, can refine it.
Seeing Qin Sang's performance, Hongtian was not surprised at all. He didn't need to use force at all. No one could resist such temptation!
And the temptations don’t end there.
Hong Tian continued, "Although the Holy Land has undergone an abnormal change, the battle between the two tribes will continue, because it involves many opportunities and it is the fairest way to decide who will win. Originally, it has nothing to do with you, the outsiders, but I can ensure that you participate in it, which is considered an advance payment of some benefits to you. What treasures you can grab depends on your own ability."
Temptations came one after another, and Qin Sang was completely unable to refute them.
However, he understood more clearly that the greater the temptation, the greater the risk!
"So, the purpose of those fellow Taoists who came out of the Holy Land is to find seeds?"
"That's right, but you have more competitors than just them. At the last minute, someone might lose face and take action personally!"
Hongtian observed Qin Sang's reaction with great interest. Seeing that Qin Sang remained calm, he was more satisfied. "But don't worry. When the time comes, I will also help you."
Hearing this, Qin Sang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It would be fine if Hongtian could take action in time, but if he reacts too slowly, wouldn’t I be dead?
"Didn't the Master say before that you couldn't enter the Heart Lake?"
"Did I say that?"
Hongtian denied it flatly and said with a smile.
"But we do have some concerns and cannot act casually. Besides, there are more important things to do now. I am tied up here and cannot leave, so I need you to step in on my behalf. When the situation is settled and the power in the heart lake recedes, we will eventually have to decide who is stronger. Well, to make a crude analogy... there is a pot of delicious food, most of which has been divided up, leaving only one bowl. This bowl was originally supposed to be left for us, the newcomers. Those old guys took the lead and got a full spoonful, but they are still greedy and want to reach in. It would be best if they can get what they want, otherwise it's no big deal. So, we don't have many real opponents, so we don't have to worry about offending those old guys."
