Chapter 2482 Frosty Sky and Moonlit Shadow
'Shuh! '
As the angry shout rang out, a beam of cold light shot out from the gap.
The barrier was suddenly attacked; the attackers clearly regarded Qin Sang as an enemy.
Upon seeing the cold light, Qin Sang's pupils constricted sharply, sensing danger.
The cold light concealed a deadly intent. What seemed like a simple beam of light actually contained endless variations. In an instant, Qin Sang felt locked onto by the cold light, and there was no way to escape unless she destroyed it.
Fortunately, he had been using lightning magic and had set up a large array around himself beforehand.
'boom! ’
As soon as Qin Sang had a thought, the thunderous power permeating the void, from the thunderclouds in the sky to the raindrops in the air, completely boiled over.
The dark clouds and torrential rain disappeared, the darkness was dispelled by dazzling lightning, as if the disguise had been removed, and the thunder and lightning were directly revealed to the world.
At a glance, lightning was everywhere, with thick pillars of lightning stretching from the sky to the ground, dense as a forest, and countless tiny lightning bolts scattered among them. The power of thunder exploded and struck the beam of cold light with a bang.
At the same time, banners fluttered around the Thunder Domain, a total of twenty-five banners, each depicting the various strange phenomena caused by the Five Elements Divine Thunder, so lifelike that they were almost indistinguishable from the real thing. These were Five Elements Thunder Banners specially crafted by Qin Sang after he founded the Five Thunder Sect. There were five banners of each element, which could also form a larger Five Elements Thunder Array.
The Taoist Five Elements Thunder Technique, though seemingly simple, is actually all-encompassing. The Five Thunder Sect does not need to teach any profound thunder techniques; as long as the Five Elements Thunder Technique is mastered, the disciples of the Five Thunder Sect will benefit immensely.
Qin Sang deployed these Five Elements Thunder Banners, which could not only isolate the inside from the outside, but also be used to fight the enemy, making them both offensive and defensive.
At this moment, the Five Elements Thunder Banner appeared, its surface fluttering and rumbling thunder emanating from it. From the Five Elements Thunder Banner, metal thunder, wood thunder, water thunder, fire thunder, and earth thunder shot out respectively. They merged into the thunder transformed by the Nine Heavens Azure Pool Thunder and Rain Great Law. There was no sense of separation between the two; on the contrary, their power greatly increased.
'boom! ’
Before the beam of cold light could strike Qin Sang, lightning struck, engulfing the light. In an instant, the light was struck countless times by lightning, finally unable to withstand the pressure, cracking like jade, and exploding in a burst.
Even after the cold light was shattered, the thunder did not dissipate, relentlessly surging towards the crack along the trajectory of the cold light.
"How brave!"
The person inside became even angrier, and their voice suddenly rose.
This time I could hear it more clearly. The other person was a woman with a sweet voice that carried a hint of allure. Unfortunately, her charm was overshadowed by her anger, making it impossible for me to have any wild thoughts.
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Sang felt the connection between himself and the lightning that had rushed into the crack sever. He vaguely sensed that a whisk had just swept by, and the lightning that was struck by the whisk inexplicably vanished.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Sang saw a clear light gushing out from the crack. The light was composed of countless tiny points of light, like stardust, which stopped the lightning from continuing to impact the crack, and the crack took the opportunity to begin to close.
The other party seemed to realize that Qin Sang was not easy to deal with, so they did not choose to rush out, but instead tried to close the secret realm.
The secret realm has been sealed again, seemingly trapping the other party inside, but that's not the case. The secret realm might have another exit. Furthermore, Qin Sang was caught off guard, and so was the other party. Only by forcing their way in now can they see what the other party is doing. Once the secret realm is sealed, there will be a chance to erase all traces.
Since the truth has already been revealed, Qin Sang might as well go with the flow. The fact that the other party sealed this place up means they must know about Wuji Academy and Yangxing Platform. Even if they have no connection with the Dao Court, they must know many secrets.
Now that they've run into each other, Qin Sang is determined to find out where the other party comes from.
Qin Sang decisively used her sword technique, summoning the Taiyin Spirit Sword. Instantly, sword intent swept across the sky, sword stars manifested, and the light of thunder paled in comparison to the starlight. The four star fields spread out, and the sword formation was complete!
The clear light seemed to be shattered in an instant. At this moment, there was only dazzling starlight on the battlefield. The crack in the void stopped closing because the Four Symbols and Nine Luminaries Sword Formation was perfectly embedded in it!
Qin Sang seized the fleeting opportunity and used a sword formation to fight against the secret realm, forcibly preventing it from closing.
Although there were carefully placed restrictions within the secret realm, the Four Symbols Nine Luminaries Sword Formation, which Qin Sang had studied for many years, was by no means ordinary.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. I meant no harm..."
As Qin Sang spoke, she unceremoniously squeezed into the crack and saw the scene inside the secret realm through the sword formation.
This secret realm wasn't large, and the missing section of the mountain wall was indeed sealed away. In addition, Qin Sang also saw that Qingyun had conjured up the platform that the mountain wall had supported.
Unfortunately, the entrance to the Yangxing Platform, which Qin Sang most wanted to see, was missing. The Qingyun, which forms the Immortal Platform and the Desolate Land, looked no different from the outside world.
Moving the gaze upwards, a female cultivator floated above the celestial platform, her appearance stunning and her figure graceful; even a fairy could not compare.
The female cultivator looked over with a furious expression. Qin Sang noticed a fluffy fox tail slowly disappearing behind her. It turned out that what she had just seen was not a whisk, but the female cultivator's tail.
Above the female cultivator's head, a silver plate hung in the air, resembling a full moon, casting down its cool moonlight.
"To enter without permission is to be a thief!"
The female cultivator laughed in extreme anger, and the smile that bloomed in an instant was so captivating that even knowing that this smile was extremely dangerous, countless men would probably still rush to it.
Qin Sang noticed that the female cultivator had a somewhat foxy air about her, and recalling the fox tail she had just seen, this woman must have the bloodline of a demon fox. Furthermore, the strength she had just displayed was far from ordinary. Combining these factors, her origins were now quite clear.
Tianhu Shangbang!
The four words flashed through Qin Sang's mind, and she immediately thought of the Three Kings of Zhu Qian. Two of the Five Great Kingdoms appearing at Qingning Palace at the same time—could it be that the Three Kings of Zhu Qian's opponent was her?
With this woman appearing at Yangxing Terrace, could the three kings of Zhu Qian also know something? It seems that the existence of Wuji Academy in the Five Directions Upper Kingdom is not a secret.
Suddenly, Qin Sang felt the sword formation vibrate, and all the sword stars trembled. She couldn't help but look up at the silver disc in the sky.
He had just tried to trap the female cultivator with a sword formation, but encountered an obstacle, which seemed to originate from the silver disc.
wrong!
Qin Sang realized that it was not just the silver plate that was the obstacle. The resistance came from the entire secret realm. The restrictions that made up the secret realm were a unified whole and could be regarded as a large array. The silver plate was not real, but a manifestation of the power of the secret realm.
At this moment, it is actually two great formations clashing.
Seeing the female cultivator's cold smile, Qin Sang realized that she had probably deliberately feigned weakness to lure her in. This was undoubtedly the female cultivator's territory, and if Qin Sang's strength were even slightly weaker, she would be in grave danger right now!
Just as Qin Sang had expected, the secret realm's restrictions immediately displayed their powerful force after he entered. Endless waves of cold light surged in, constantly squeezing the starry sea formed by the sword formation.
The female cultivator raised her right hand and gently stroked it. A zither appeared before her chest. Her jade fingers casually plucked the strings a few times, producing a clear and sharp melody that immediately drew people into the battlefield of swords and horses.
The cold light rippled with the music, as if conjuring up strings, sharp as knives, launching a continuous barrage of attacks.
At this moment, Qin Sang realized that unless the secret realm was destroyed, it would be difficult to bring the female cultivator into the sword formation. If she continued to play, the number of strings would increase, and the pressure on him would only grow.
At this moment, he appeared above a sword star, stepping on the star, silently activating the Thunder Technique, and thunder rose again.
‘Boom! ’
The deafening thunder and the sound of the piano blended together, creating a unique melody. The thunder could not affect the music, but lightning and fire descended from the sky.
A flash of white light appeared on the female cultivator's body, and she donned a white fur coat. The lightning and fire that struck her were all blocked by an invisible barrier and deflected, unable to harm her at all.
However, Qin Sang's purpose was not to harm anyone. Wherever the lightning passed, the newly formed strings of the zither broke one after another.
At this moment, the female cultivator paused her zither playing, looked intently at Qin Sang, and her expression faltered slightly.
Although the strange expression on the female cultivator's face was fleeting, Qin Sang still caught it.
"She recognizes me?"
Qin Sang was very surprised and racked his brains, but he couldn't remember when he had seen this female cultivator before.
He didn't stay in Tianhu Shangbang for long. He only stayed near Yunhu City, found the Lingren Secret Vault, and left. He never saw her.
As this thought flashed through Qin Sang's mind, she saw the female cultivator raise one hand and, without knowing what kind of magic she was using, the temperature in the secret realm suddenly dropped.
‘Wow! ’
A light snow began to fall, covering the cliffs and the platform with a layer of frost.
Amidst the wind and snow, the female cultivator gathered a ball of light in her palm. The ball of light floated in the air and transformed into a full moon, forming a double moon with the silver disc in the sky. However, this full moon was more ethereal and slightly dim, with a faint gray aura emanating from within it.
The moonlight shone brightly.
When the full moon shone on her, Qin Sang immediately had a bad feeling. Then she saw the gray mist in the moonlight gather into a human figure, looking at her from a distance. The figure looked six or seven parts like her!
"It's really you!"
Upon seeing this, the female cultivator's expression changed instantly. She was clearly not prepared either, and with a look of surprise, she blurted out, "What did you steal from Moon Cauldron?"
"Moon Lake Cottage?"
Qin Sang immediately understood what had happened.
How did this female cultivator know that I had been to Moon Cauldron Cottage? I remember carefully erasing all traces when I left. It seems that Frost Moon must be a peculiar supernatural power; some supernatural abilities and spells in this world cannot be viewed through the lens of ordinary reason.
Back then, Qin Sang didn't think too much about the background of Yuehu Xiaozhu. She never expected that there was such a master behind it, and that the other party was able to find her.
Noticing the fleeting glint of surprise in the female cultivator's eyes, Qin Sang became suspicious. Had this woman been searching for her all along?
Without a doubt, it must be related to the Lingren Secret Treasury. However, Qin Sang carefully searched through the contents of the Lingren Secret Treasury and found that most of the items were not of high value. There were a few interesting treasures, but they were probably not worth the persistent search of such an expert.
Is there some secret that I haven't discovered yet?
Thinking of this, Qin Sang couldn't help but think of more. If it was not a coincidence that the Moon Pot Pavilion was built there, could it be that this woman was searching for the Tomb Man's Secret Treasury before?
Qin Sang thought about it more and more and felt that she might have missed something, so she said calmly, "What are you talking about, fellow Daoist? What Moon Pot Cottage? I don't understand."
It seems we need to examine this more carefully when we get back, and of course, it would be even better to keep this female cultivator here.
"Humph!"
The female cultivator snorted coldly, realizing that her behavior had revealed too much. Without explaining, she took out a token.
The token is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with intricate patterns carved around the edges and a complex seal character in the center.
Qin Sang had stayed in Tianhu Shangbang for a period of time and knew that this was a script that only the major royal families of Tianhu Shangbang could understand. It was said to have been created by Tianhu Shangbang and was called Tianhu script by ordinary people. Tianhu script was not only a script, but also contained magic power. However, even if ordinary people could recognize Tianhu script, they did not know how to use the magic power of the script.
The seal script character is the character for 'fox'!
This is the most common text in the Tianhu script, and almost everyone in the Tianhu Shangbang recognizes it.
When this character was engraved on the token, it seemed to be more than just the simple character 'fox'. The moment Qin Sang saw the token, a strong sense of alarm arose in his heart; he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
Danger!
Qin Sang suddenly felt a stinging pain in her eyes. She saw the token leave the female cultivator's hand and float into the air, causing both moons to pale in comparison.
On the token, the character 'fox' is surrounded by a square frame.
The character 'fox' grew brighter and brighter, radiating a blinding light. Suddenly, the character vanished, along with the area inside the square, turning into nothingness.
In the void, light and shadow shifted, and countless strange phenomena emerged one after another.
Meanwhile, in an unknown and distant place, there is a sacred mountain, extremely high, its summit seemingly reaching above the heavens.
The mountaintop was cold and gloomy, the windstorm kept at bay by some unseen force.
The mountaintop had been hollowed out, forming a pool of water. The water level was flush with the stone walls on the shore, yet the water never overflowed. In the center of the pool stood an octagonal wooden building. The building had stood for countless years, exuding an ancient and rustic charm. The copper bells hanging from its eaves were also covered in rust.
'Ding-ling-ling!'
The copper bell suddenly began to vibrate, and the sound immediately broke the silence.
As the copper bell vibrated, the wooden building began to show unusual fluctuations. Then, the surrounding light gradually brightened, and the light seemed to come from high above. Through the southeast wind, the outline of a full moon could be vaguely seen.
The moonlight shone directly on the wooden building, and the originally rotten wood began to transform. The wooden building gradually became transparent, and the traces left by the years were washed away by the moonlight, revealing a strange luster. In the end, it became almost transparent, and the wooden building turned into a jade building.
On the battlefield of Qingning Palace, the token also reflected the jade tower on the mountaintop.
When Qin Sang saw the jade tower appear in the token, the ominous signs of danger intensified, and she finally understood what the female cultivator was doing.
The Jade Pavilion is real, not an illusion, and it's definitely not nearby. With this token, the female cultivator was able to draw power from the distant Heavenly Fox Kingdom to fight her enemies!
Qingning Palace is so far away from Tianhu Shangbang, it is obviously against common sense to borrow power from a distance. Qin Sang has only seen this kind of ability in the world of talismans.
In the dazzling light, the outline of the token gradually faded, while the jade tower became clearer, as if it had flown directly here from afar.
'Om! '
The jade tower trembled slightly, then transformed into a massive building and crashed down.
As the jade tower fell, an unparalleled and powerful force descended from the sky. Qin Sang was not directly below the jade tower, but she vaguely felt that the base of the jade tower was facing her, leaving her nowhere to escape!
