Chapter 2455 Kanjing
Qin Sang was following the female cultivator from the Suanni clan, who was the lowest-ranking of the three demons, but was still a mid-stage Void Refinement expert. The other two Suanni clan cultivators called her Longyan.
For some reason, Qin Sang felt a faint threat from Longyan, and the other two also felt the same way. Qin Sang suspected that they had brought some kind of extraordinary treasure.
Why make such a big fuss?
Qin Sang followed behind Long Yan and watched as she flew cautiously for a while before stopping in front of a stone mountain.
Then, Longyan's body swayed, turning into a cloud of smoke that seeped into the stone mountain.
After the smoke dissipated, Qin Sang arrived at the foot of the mountain, frowned as she looked at the stone wall in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then used her divine sense to carefully explore it. She discovered that it was actually empty inside, with a tunnel extending all the way underground, its depth unknown.
Sensing that Longyan had already gone far away, Qin Sang hurriedly entered the mountain and went into the tunnel to follow her. He saw Longyan walk through the tunnel for a while before suddenly stopping.
Qin Sang immediately stopped and stared intently, only to see that the tunnel ahead was blocked by a round stone.
The white stone blocked Longyan's path solidly. It was smooth and regular, obviously polished by human hands, and it was filled with demonic energy.
Thump! Thump!
Longyan stretched out her finger and tapped the white stone twice.
Then, the stone slowly rolled to the side, revealing a pair of wary eyes through the crack. "Who's there?"
With a flick of her sleeve, Longyan quietly released a wisp of green smoke, and the look in her eyes immediately became dazed and lifeless.
Longyan swaggered in, and Qin Sang followed suit, slipping through the crevice in the stone.
After they left, the two demon soldiers guarding the stone shook their heads. "Huh? What just happened? Why did you open the gate?"
The voice is high-pitched.
"You opened it, didn't you! And you're trying to frame me!"
Another demon soldier rubbed his eyes and said angrily.
The two demons had a fight, and neither was willing to back down. They stared at each other for a while before finally remembering to close the door and putting the incident behind them.
At this time, Qin Sang followed Long Yan and saw more and more monsters, and there were countless rat monsters living underground.
It was even noisier here than on the surface. There were faint noises coming from all over the tunnel, and rats kept scurrying in and out. These rats varied in size, some as small as house mice, while others were comparable to tigers, leopards, and bears. Moreover, as they descended, the rat demons grew larger and larger, and their cultivation level also increased accordingly.
The tunnels stretched in all directions, teeming with rats.
Clearly, they've broken into the rat hole!
"A rat demon? Could it be... a Kan spirit!"
Qin Sang recalled what she had seen and heard along the way; the powerful clans in the Great Wind Plains were not only the Suanni and Zhaofeng.
While the Suanni and Zhaofeng are powerful, the Kan Jing are the largest tribe!
The Kan Jing are the kings of the underground world of Dafeng Plain, with many powerful figures. However, it is said that the Kan Jing tribes are scattered, and the strength of the Kan Jing tribes varies. It is unknown what these three Suanni tribe experts want to do by infiltrating the Kan Jing's lair.
Just then, Longyan passed through a cave, and Qin Sang followed. He found that the cave was crowded with rat demons. The rats moved like a tide, emitting a foul smell. Even though he was used to all kinds of strange things, he couldn't help but frown.
The rat burrow was bottomless. As they continued to descend, the rat demons gradually became less dense, and it finally became a little more refreshing.
Shouts and calls could be heard in the distance.
"Sanmao the Little Flag is here to patrol the cave!"
"After patrolling the caves, let's head to the General's Mansion!"
"Wishing General Blacktail a happy birthday!"
……
Qin Sang and Long Yan stopped and watched as a procession of honor staggered up from the bottom of the cave, shouting in unison.
In the center of the procession, four tall and burly rat demons stood upright, each carrying a rattan chair on their shoulders.
A rat demon, dressed in armor and short in stature, leaned against a wicker chair, its eyes half-closed, its body swaying with the chair's movement. Three long white hairs hung down from its head, swaying back and forth; this must be Sanmao Xiaoqi.
"Even the small flag bearers have Golden Core cultivation, and General Black Tail is likely a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator. This Kanjing tribe is quite powerful; no wonder Longyan is so cautious..."
Qin Sang seemed to be deep in thought. Seeing that Long Yan was moving again, she hurriedly followed.
The terrain below became increasingly open, and even buildings resembling cities appeared. One cave was particularly lively, with countless rat demons moving in and out in an orderly fashion, wafting out fragrant aromas.
Qin Sang overheard the rat demons' discussions and realized that this was General Blacktail's residence, where a birthday banquet was being prepared.
After continuing on for a while, it seemed as if we had suddenly crossed a certain boundary, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that Longyan was becoming increasingly cautious, Qin Sang had a sudden thought and realized that it might be an important territory of the Kanjing tribe, or there might be the cave of a Kanjing expert nearby.
Longyan showed no sign of stopping. She seemed to know this place very well, moving through the underground caves with ease and avoiding all the restrictions.
The cave was eerily quiet.
Finally, Qin Sang faintly sensed an unusual aura in the distance, and her heart tightened. This Kanjing tribe indeed had a master!
Longyan deliberately avoided this aura and walked to the end of a tunnel, where she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
Seeing that Longyan had stopped ahead, Qin Sang pressed herself against the stone wall and hid, observing the scene ahead.
At the end of the tunnel was an underground river, about ten feet wide, and flowing inside was not water, but stalactites!
An abundance of spiritual energy emanates from the Stone Milk River.
These stalactites are so abundant here that they've formed a river. Outside, rat demons can be reborn after just one sip of this stalactite.
Qin Sang dared not release her divine sense to examine the Stone Milk River in front of Long Yan. Judging from the course of the river, it must be quite long.
At this moment, Longyan stood by the Stone Milk River and used some kind of supernatural power to say softly, "Uncle, Yan Ding, I have arrived without disturbing those rat spirits."
When the topic of Kan Jing came up, Long Yan's face showed a look of disgust.
After sending the signal, she stood still and waited silently. After a short while, she nodded gently, "Yes!"
Longyan glanced across the river and took out a treasure, a porcelain bottle, but only the size of a thumb.
She chanted incantations as she cast hand seals into the porcelain bottle, and a wisp of white smoke gradually rose from the bottle's mouth.
White smoke swirled around the mouth of the bottle, and suddenly Longyan turned the porcelain bottle over and poured out a stream of transparent spiritual liquid.
The spiritual liquid was colorless and odorless, silently falling into the Stone Milk River and instantly merging into it without causing the slightest ripple on the surface.
Longyan held the porcelain bottle in her palm again. The Stone Milk River remained unchanged, but a look of surprise flashed in Qin Sang's eyes.
He could actually sense the aura of the Void Realm!
Qin Sang stared at the porcelain bottle in Long Yan's hand. Could this treasure also be a treasure with the power of the Void Domain, similar to the Heaven-Binding Golden Lock and the Earth-Imprisoning Divine Ring?
"No, they're not exactly the same!"
Qin Sang sensed that the Void Domain was constantly expanding. With Long Yan's cultivation level, it was impossible for her to control such a large Void Domain. Moreover, a faint echo came from afar. He understood that the other two Suanni Clan cultivators might also possess such porcelain bottles, and this Void Domain was created by the three demons working together.
"Uncle, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect the Flaming God Bottle. If he dares to sneak in, I will make sure he never leaves!"
Longyan said confidently.
Only then did Qin Sang understand their purpose. They used the Void Domain to block the Stone Milk River, seemingly anticipating that their target would definitely sneak into the rat's den from here, and thus waiting here in advance to ambush them.
Qin Sang slowly retreated and soon found another tunnel leading to the upper reaches of the Stone Milk River. He arrived at the riverbank, which happened to be the edge of the Void Realm.
The virtual domain blocked off an entire section of the river. Qin Sang stood upstream, frowning as he looked downstream.
They seem to be dealing with some enemy. They are so well prepared that they should not fail unless something unexpected happens. Once they succeed, they will probably return to Shenji Mountain immediately, and I will have no chance.
He was considering whether or not to do something drastic.
A moment later, Qin Sang returned to the tunnel and secretly did something at the place where she had sensed that wisp of energy before. Then she quietly returned to the upper reaches of the Stone Milk River to observe the situation.
Time passes slowly.
The stalactites flowed silently.
The treasures of the Suanni clan are truly remarkable. Even though Qin Sang knew that the Void Domain was here, he could not sense the slightest fluctuation.
About two hours passed in this manner.
Suddenly, a barely perceptible ripple appeared on the river's surface. Longyan's gaze turned cold, and she gripped the Flaming God Bottle tightly.
The next moment, Qin Sang saw a strange phenomenon on the river downstream.
In the center of the river, a whirlpool appeared out of thin air, and a figure flashed through the hollow inside the whirlpool.
This figure was a strange-looking monster with blue fur, some parts of which were decorated with red fur. It had a dog-like head, a mouth full of fangs, no hands or feet, but four wings and eight tails!
It somehow got in, suddenly appearing in the middle of the river, and just happened to fall into the trap.
Everything went as Longyan and the others had predicted. Once the target was captured in the Flaming God Bottle, there was no way he could escape.
Longyan was overjoyed, but then she heard her uncle call out softly.
"It's him!"
She stared intently at it, and her pretty face changed slightly.
The three powerful members of the Suanni clan seemed to recognize the strange bird and exerted all their strength to activate the Blazing God Bottle.
At this moment, the strange bird that had fallen into the trap was still somewhat illusory and had not yet fully solidified. Suddenly sensing the danger, it was filled with shock and anger.
"Xuanying, you've courted death today. Let's see where you can escape to this time!"
Hearing the mocking voice, the strange bird's face darkened even more. "Old man, it's you!"
The strange bird named Xuan Ying reacted extremely quickly. Before its figure could solidify, eight streams of gray energy suddenly shot out from its body. The gray energy transformed into eight gusts of wind, instantly forming a violent hurricane around him.
"He's going to summon the eight winds! Stop him!"
When Longyan heard her uncle's urgent call, her heart tightened. Although she had never fought against Xianying, she had heard of him before. It was said that her uncle had suffered several losses at his hands.
This is an opportunity for my uncle to redeem himself!
Above the river, the power of the void permeated the air, yet the fluctuations of the battle had no effect on the outside world.
The figure in the hurricane grew increasingly ethereal. Longyan knew that Xianying wasn't actually capable of fighting the Blazing God Bottle; rather, his reaction was too quick, and he hadn't truly fallen into the void. If they were careless, he might very well escape.
"late!"
Longyan snorted angrily and, in coordination with her uncle, pushed the Blazing God Bottle in her hand to its limit. In a tributary branching off from the lower reaches of the Stone Milk River, two figures were rapidly closing in.
The hurricane in the virtual realm was indeed suppressed, and Xuan Ying felt a strong sense of crisis and struggled desperately.
The aftershocks of the battle were concealed by the void domain, and the master of this place was not alerted at all from beginning to end.
Xuan Ying's situation became increasingly critical. Despite his formidable strength, he was powerless to turn the tide after crashing headlong into the trap carefully laid by the three Suanni clan experts.
Just then, something unexpected happened: the tunnel behind them began to tremble inexplicably.
"who!"
"who is it!"
……
The roars rose and fell, shaking the earth.
The three powerful members of the Suanni clan changed their expressions drastically.
At the same time, an incredibly powerful force swept out of the tunnel like a tidal wave.
Longyan was the first to be hit and hurriedly dodged, but the force did not stop and crashed heavily onto the Stone Milk River, immediately eliciting several angry shouts.
The void trembled, and Xuan Ying immediately saw an opportunity. He urged eight gusts of wind to spin wildly around him, actually stirring up the surrounding void power, which spun along with him.
With the addition of another force, the Stone Milk River was thrown into complete chaos. Xuan Ying, accompanied by Feng Xuan, fled upstream at all costs.
At the same time, the soil and rocks around the Shiru River also underwent drastic changes. The hard rocks cracked and pieced together at will, yet fit together perfectly, like soft clay that everyone could knead.
The place was completely unrecognizable. The previous tunnels had all disappeared, and a wide stone path had appeared. The terrain suddenly opened up, and a powerful aura was rapidly approaching from the end of the stone path.
Qin Sang hid upstream of the Shiru River and witnessed this scene firsthand.
The Kan Jing clan was suddenly alerted, which was naturally due to his secret machinations.
He stared at the strange bird in the whirlwind—legless, with four wings and eight tails. He never expected that the one they had ambushed was actually a powerful member of the Wind-Catching Clan!
Qin Sang's original plan was simply to create some trouble for the Suanni clan, and then find an opportunity to help them capture their target, so that he could legitimately befriend them.
Upon seeing that the one being chased was a powerful member of the Zhaofeng Clan, Qin Sang suddenly changed her mind. The Zhaofeng Clan was an ancient clan no weaker than the Suanni Clan, and offering help in times of need was clearly more important than adding to someone's already good fortune!
By rescuing this powerful member of the Zhaofeng Clan, we will have a strong ally in the Great Wind Plains. We can then slowly devise the rest.
Qin Sang made a quick decision and appeared at the Shiru River.
Just then, Xianying rushed up from downstream and bumped into Qin Sang. She was immediately shocked, thinking there was another ambush here.
In shock and anger, Xuan Ying was about to fight to the death when she saw Qin Sang looking completely bewildered, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
A thought flashed through Xianying's mind. He suppressed his urge to fight to the death and quickly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist, please step aside and spare my life. I will be eternally grateful!"
"who are you?"
Qin Sang recognized Xianying and her expression darkened further. "You're Zhaofeng... What are you doing here? This isn't Kanjing's place..."
"It seems you also sneaked in, right?" Xuan Ying didn't answer directly.
Qin Sang remained noncommittal, pretending to have just seen the powerful Suanni clan member, before suddenly erupting in fury, "Suanni!"
Seeing the intense killing intent flash in Qin Sang's eyes, Xuan Ying suddenly realized something. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he asked with delight, "Fellow Daoist, do you have a grudge against the Suanni?"
