"Ying'er has already broken through to the Void Refinement stage?"
Upon further inquiry, Qin Sang was surprised to find that this disciple was so promising.
"Originally, Fairy Ying couldn't break through on her own, but thanks to Boss Hou! Fairy Ying once suffered a strange injury, and although she recovered, it affected her lifespan. Boss Hou was already on the verge of breaking through, and with the help of some kind of dual cultivation method, he helped Fairy Ying forcibly break through the bottleneck before her lifespan ran out. However, he himself suffered a great loss of energy, and his cultivation regressed instead of progressing, leaving hidden dangers that he has not yet recovered from. Master, you must help him," Chi Lei said with a sigh.
"Qin Hou is indeed quite talented," Qin Sang thought to himself, "this guy is also a romantic at heart."
This guy is incredibly stubborn; once he's made up his mind about something or someone, nothing can sway him. Since he's set his sights on Bai Ying'er, his choice isn't surprising. Qin Sang is very pleased that they had a good outcome.
“Yes, we owe our success to Boss Hou,” Baihe and Chilei both praised Qin Hou highly.
Qin Sang nodded. The cultivation technique they were currently practicing was still "Heavenly Demon Refining Form," but the technique Qin Sang had passed down to them could only be cultivated to the peak of the Transformation stage. The current Nascent Soul stage was achieved by Qin Hou collecting other ancient demon techniques, and unwilling to replace "Heavenly Demon Refining Form," he cross-referenced several techniques, practicing and deducing simultaneously. The fact that he had achieved such results demonstrates his exceptional talent and comprehension.
Of course, due to his limited vision and cultivation level, the cultivation method Qin Hou deduced could not compare with the original method. These hidden dangers, once accumulated to a certain extent, would eventually become obstacles, which is probably the main reason why Qin Hou failed to break through.
The solution is simple: pass on the original techniques to them, correct the errors, and their condition will improve immediately.
As they spoke, they arrived at the foot of the mountain range, where a dark rock wall blocked their path.
"It's said that the fire here burned fiercely for a long time before it was finally extinguished. More than half of this mountain was burned away," Chi Lei said with anticipation. The traces of the fire were clearly visible, and this was probably the most reliable one.
Qin Sang examined the black stone wall, whose surface was covered with a layer of black glaze resembling rock crystals. With a "snap," a piece of rock crystal peeled off and was caught in Qin Sang's hand.
Sensing the hidden aura within the rock crystal, Qin Sang was unsure, so she summoned the Vermilion Bird.
"Are they your new underlings?" Zhuque glanced at Chilei and Baihe, and said fiercely, "Call them Big Sister!"
"Besides Hou, we were the first to follow the master, right?" Chi Lei muttered, but suddenly saw Zhu Que's strange gaze and knew something was wrong. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and was slammed to the ground without even seeing how Zhu Que made the move.
Seeing the Vermilion Bird land on Chi Lei's head and use him as a mount, while Chi Lei lay on the ground, his fat body trembling, the White Crane wiped away a cold sweat, thinking to herself, "Where did this evil star come from?" She quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "This humble one greets the boss."
"You're quite good," Zhuque said, quite satisfied with his performance, and narrowed her eyes. "As long as you're obedient in the future, you won't be treated unfairly."
Baihe smiled obsequiously, "Yes! Yes! If the boss tells us to go east, we absolutely dare not go west."
With two more fun toys, Zhuque hadn't had enough time to play with when Qin Sang called him over. The old man was very unhappy, took a deep breath towards the stone wall, and snorted, "This is definitely not Phoenix True Fire!"
Although these flames are not the true fire of the phoenix, they are not ordinary spiritual fires either. There may be unknown secrets hidden in the mountains, so Qin Sang decided to go into the mountains to explore.
In terms of their ability to cause trouble, Chi Lei and Bai He were no match for Zhu Que, and were quickly subdued by him.
Upon entering the mountains, a pungent, acrid smell filled the air, undiminished by the wind. Everything was charred black; all that remained in the mountains had been burned to ashes. Ahead lay a series of towering peaks, and as Qin Sang glanced back, she saw the multicolored light of her escape technique piercing through the wind and fog behind her. She quickened her pace, gradually leaving them behind.
"What looks like there's any treasure here?" Suzaku said impatiently.
Qin Sang frowned slightly, silently activating her spiritual eyes, and faintly saw a glimmer of fire in the very center of the mountain range. Could it be that there was still a spiritual fire that had not been extinguished?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Sang decided to first help Bai He find the female cultivator from the Crimson Wing Clan. For some reason, after entering the mountain, he felt that something was amiss.
They slightly changed direction and moved closer to the location of the Crimson Wing Clan female cultivator.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains.
The flames raged on and on, and five figures emerged from the flames.
"How much?" one of them asked, his voice unusually hoarse.
"Two have caught up."
The figure on the right said, "I only found one, but I just heard some discussion that an unknown expert has come from the west and has already made a move. He is undoubtedly a Void Refinement expert."
……
After a moment of silence, the hoarse voice, always concise, said, "Identity."
"That unknown expert suddenly appeared and then disappeared again. His whereabouts are currently unknown, and we haven't made contact with him yet, so we don't know his strength," the figure on the right paused, "How about I go and test him?"
"it is good!"
……
As they gradually entered the deep mountains, Qin Sang's speed decreased.
Zhuque, who had been by Qin Sang's side the longest, was the first to notice, "Is there a problem?"
“Something feels off,” Qin Sang said in a low voice, her eyes narrowing as she followed the contours of the mountain. “Be careful.”
The Vermilion Bird darted directly into Qin Sang's sleeve. Qin Sang's expression returned to normal. She put Chi Lei and the White Crane into the small cave and continued on her way.
Not long after, Qin Sang suddenly felt a sense of alarm and stopped abruptly.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the mountain below Qin Sang split open, and a rainbow of light shot out, like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly penetrating Qin Sang's body.
The next moment, Qin Sang shattered like a mirror.
Within the rainbow light was a strange claw with only three fingers, covered in black hair, each finger bearing a black iron ring, emitting thick black smoke, like a ghostly claw.
The strange claw missed its target, letting out a soft exclamation. Then, its fingers trembled, and three black rays shot out like arrows towards a certain point in the void.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Before the three black beams shot out, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly leaped out from there, quickly jumping several times between the black beams and easily dodging them.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
……
Three beams of black light shot directly into the three mountain peaks, piercing through their bodies, and the peaks instantly melted into strange black water.
The monstrous claw persisted relentlessly, its fingers suddenly clenching into a fist. A series of loud bangs echoed as if an invisible giant hand had crushed the surrounding dozens of mountain peaks, turning the mountains into plains.
In an instant, earth and rocks flew everywhere, filling the sky. Then, the lightning bolt broke through the dust and smoke, producing a deafening thunderclap, seemingly unharmed.
"I have just arrived here and have no enemies here. Fellow Daoist, have you mistaken me for someone else?" Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
The monstrous claw did not respond, but transformed into a black lightning bolt and continued to pursue Qin Sang.
Just then, a glint flashed in Qin Sang's eyes. Ignoring the relentless pursuit of the strange claws, he suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards a distant mountain hollow.
The enemy's true form is hidden in this mountain valley, remotely controlling the monster's claw!
Deep underground in the valley, there is a dark well. A person is sitting cross-legged beside the well. This person is wearing a mask woven from feathers, with three long feathers protruding from it. Each feather is a different color, and they are all very bright, as if they were just picked off their owner.
The masked man's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, "Such keen intuition!"
He was trying to avoid the attack, but he underestimated Qin Sang's speed. Before he could escape, the attack came down from the sky!
"Boom!"
The earth shook and the thick layers of ground were pierced by a tremendous force. A figure flashed and disappeared. Since the masked man had been locked onto by Qin Sang, how could he be allowed to escape so easily?
Above the battlefield, thunder roared like a tidal wave, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered. Thick, blue lightning bolts rained down, leveling the battlefield to the ground in a flash.
Sensing the thunderous power descending from the sky, the masked man's eyes widened in surprise. He flung out a cloak, and black mist spread out, covering his entire body.
"boom!"
Instantly, dozens of lightning bolts struck the black mist, causing it to churn violently and nearly collapse. A voice cried out from within the mist, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down! I have indeed admitted my mistake!"
"Admit your mistake?"
He was met with a cold snort. Qin Sang appeared above the black mist, his gaze as cold as ice as he looked at the mist, which was on the verge of collapse.
This guy's appearance is too strange. It's definitely not a misunderstanding. He's here for me. But I just crossed the Tianbi Mountain Range not long ago and took in a few groups of wind bandits. When did I offend him?
Just then, Qin Sang suddenly sensed an unusual aura emanating from the black mist. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he saw the black mist roll apart to both sides, and a fiery red jade pillar rose from the ground.
The jade pillar was entirely crimson, its intense red light staining the sky.
Upon seeing the jade pillar, Qin Sang's pupils constricted sharply; at that moment, he felt a strong sense of threat!
"What is this?"
Qin Sang was filled with surprise and doubt. She saw all sorts of strange scenes flashing through the inside of the jade pillar. Each scene had a protagonist, and they were all famous divine beasts. However, the meaning of those scenes was unclear and hard to understand!
The red light emanating from the jade pillar transformed into crimson ribbons, which danced wildly. Seeing these ribbons drifting towards him, a small mountain suddenly appeared before Qin Sang; he had actually summoned Mount Daiyu!
Qin Sang swung the immortal mountain and smashed it fiercely into the jade pillar. With a loud roar, the ribbons shattered beneath the immortal mountain as it crashed into the jade pillar!
Upon seeing the majestic and imposing immortal mountain, the masked man was somewhat stunned, realizing that he had gotten himself into serious trouble this time!
It was too late to salvage the situation. If the jade pillar were shattered, he would truly be doomed beyond redemption. In desperation, the masked man merged his body into the jade pillar.
"boom!"
The immortal mountain struck the jade pillar squarely, accompanied by a loud bang. A shocking crack immediately appeared on the jade pillar, but the pillar was exceptionally resilient and did not break.
The masked man reappeared, his aura much weaker than before. Seeing Yu Zhu's miserable state, he gasped and shouted urgently, "Stop!"
The immortal mountain actually hovered in mid-air. Qin Sang stared intently at the masked man, her face ashen.
At that moment, he sensed several unfamiliar auras locking onto him from afar; this guy had accomplices!
If he made any rash moves, he would inevitably be surrounded and attacked. If it were just a few cultivators whose cultivation was comparable to that of the masked man, Qin Sang would not care too much. But that jade pillar was also strange!
Qin Sang had a strange feeling that he had fallen into a vast net, and that there was more than one jade pillar in the mountain. He sensed an undercurrent beneath the surface; the other party seemed unwilling to reveal themselves, and was merely giving him a warning. If he insisted on uncovering the secrets beneath the surface, the consequences would be unpredictable!
Seeing that Qin Sang had finally stopped, the masked man breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "We have no intention of being enemies with you, fellow Daoist. We were just testing you. As long as you leave here immediately, we will certainly see you off with courtesy. In addition, we ask you to forget everything that happened today and leave each other alone in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang remained silent, filled with suspicion. What exactly did these people want to do? Were they deliberately spreading rumors to lure everyone here?
"You just ambushed me, and now you want to settle things with just a few words? Is it that easy?"
The masked man was greatly troubled: "With your strength, fellow Daoist, you should be able to sense it. If you remain obstinate, even if you manage to escape in the end, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction! You haven't suffered any harm, so why not let bygones be bygones?"
Qin Sang knew that the other party wasn't just making empty threats; they had real strength. Her insistence on taking action would teach them a lesson. However, Qin Sang didn't see any benefit in it. Zhuque had already asserted that there were no phoenix feathers here, so settling things peacefully seemed to be the best option.
After a moment of silence, Qin Sang said, "I have a few more friends."
"This……"
The masked man hesitated for a moment, then saw Qin Sang toying with the small mountain in his hand, and coldly say, "Fellow Daoist, feel free to try and see how many of my moves you can withstand!"
The masked man's face twitched slightly. Suddenly hearing the telepathic transmission, he exhaled a sigh of relief, "Alright! Where are they now?"
Qin Sang activated her true essence, conjuring up several faces.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment," the masked man said, disappearing in a flash. He soon returned with several unconscious cultivators, including the female cultivator who looked remarkably like Yue'er, and her fellow clansmen.
"Please!" The masked man gestured, wanting to watch Qin Sang leave with his own eyes.
Qin Sang led the group of cultivators and slowly retreated from the mountain. Hesitant along the way, he couldn't shake off the auras locking onto him. Finally, Qin Sang sighed inwardly and completely abandoned his plan to attack.
Only after Qin Sang had moved far away from the mountain did the masked man slowly retreat.
……
"Who are you!"
Several Crimson Wing Clan members awoke with a start, saw the figure with its back to them, remembered their previous encounter, and their expressions changed drastically.
They got into position, but the other person kept their back to them. Only then did they notice the direction the person was looking. The originally charred mountain was now shrouded in boundless red clouds. The cultivators in the mountain were missing and had all been swallowed up by the red clouds!
Although they didn't know exactly what was happening, they could tell that the red cloud was extremely dangerous and that the other party was trying to save them.
The female cultivator who looked remarkably like Yue'er composed herself and gracefully stepped forward, saying, "Thank you for saving me, senior."
