Chapter 1765: Pursuit and Escape
pectedly, I found such a gifted disciple today. Being able to grasp the qi of yin and yang as thick as a thumb is quite good. Although his spiritual roots are lacking, he has already broken through to...The valley of the Guidi Butterfly.
A piece of yellow rock the size of a grinding stone.
The flowers of the Four Seasons dreamt in stone, are hidden within it at this moment.
This elixir cannot be simply defined as a plant, at this moment, in Qin Sang's perception, it was just a piece of mountain stone.
Qin Sang was also seeing such a peculiar and unique spiritual herb for the first time, and his movements were very cautious.
Suddenly, a strange power seeped from Qin Sang's palm into the ground and slowly approached Huangshi.
This power concealed its fluctuations well, acting silently and pervasively. It pierced through layers of rock, reaching close to Yellowstone as if a pair of invisible hands were quietly closing in.
Within the heart of Yellowstone, the Four Seasons Dreamflower stands quietly rooted, absorbing the earth's energy, showing no reaction to it whatsoever.
Meanwhile, deep within the Gui Die Mountain Range, flower seeds appeared surrounded by barriers as if held aloft by their petals.
As soon as the time came, Qin Sang immediately retracted the net, causing the power of the Four Seasons Dream Flower and all its flower species' 'floral calyx' to close simultaneously.

At that moment, Qin Sang suddenly felt something, her expression changed drastically.
He was here to pick herbs, leaving the Sky-Eyed Butterfly outside to keep watch over the movements beyond the mountain.
Just as Qin Sang was about to make a move, the Tianmu Butterfly suddenly sent an alert: a sudden change had occurred at the Demon Marshal's Mansion!

On both ends of the Gui Die Mountain Range.
The residences of the two great demon generals are located here.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The You Shuifu can be seen as a fairy city where humans live, with countless well-trained demon soldiers stationed here, guarding the You Shuai's cave.
Before Qin Sang's investigation, these demon soldiers trained all day and patrolled in an orderly fashion. They were indeed strong and well-equipped, but everything was traceable.
He observed for a while and roughly figured out the pattern. He believed these demon soldiers posed little threat to him, unless he was surrounded.
Everything has been normal these days.

It so happened that on this very day, the Demon Marshal's Manor suddenly sounded the war drums, their reverberations echoing throughout Gui Die Mountain.
In an instant, squads of bizarre and monstrous demon soldiers took to the air, their killing intent surging and demonic energy billowing into the sky.
A clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and a strong wind howled through the air.
This place is the territory of a demon marquis, deep within the Ghost Nation. Enemies are everywhere. Getting involved in any incident would be extremely detrimental to him; he must leave as soon as possible!
The sudden departure of the two demon generals from the mountain also had its benefits. Qin Sang no longer had to worry about being exposed.
He no longer hesitated, fully powering up his secret art, seizing every second.

A network of winding veins crawled across the yellow stone surface where the Linghua hid, Qin Sang's movements startling the Huameng Si Shi Hua.
The Ling Hua instinctively wanted to transfer to other flower species and flee from this place of turmoil, but all its connections with the flower species were severed!
At this moment, all the flowers are enclosed within their sepals, isolated from the outside world.
>
The dreamlike flowers are confined to a small space, dashing about within the Huangshi. However, they are unable to break free from the restrictions.
After securing the lockdown, Qin Sang immediately proceeded to the next step.
At the same time, all of his restrictions were triggered, and 'Flowerbud' enveloped the seeds and slowly rose.
At first, a faint apparition of a spirit flower appeared on the surface of the Yellow Stone. Then it gradually solidified, revealing the true form of the Huameng Four Seasons Flower. Its four petals trembled gently.
Just then, a tiny rumble came from the bottom of Gui Die Mountain, like a minor earthquake.
This is a vision triggered by separating the Four Seasons Dream from the earth's veins, disturbing the earth's energy.
However, the vibrations reached the ground very faintly. At this time, the demon marshal was absent, and even if the demon soldiers guarding the demon marshal's mansion sensed it, they wouldn't suspect anything.
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh...'

Sparkling dots continually flew out from beneath Qin Sang's feet.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Each dot represents a flower seed, until finally, the Four Seasons Dream Flower grew at his feet.
Qin Sang looked at this gorgeous spirit flower. This was the most troublesome medicinal herb he had ever seen being harvested.
All the flower species trembled collectively and sank into their core.
The seeds also possess some medicinal properties. Collecting the spirit creature and all types of flowers is what completes the process.
'Bang!'
Qin Sang took out the jade box he had prepared long ago, put away the Hua Meng Si Shi Hua, and climbed to a high place.
The Sky-Viewing Butterfly landed on Qin Sang's shoulder.
Qin Sang gazed intently towards the direction of the Hou Mansion. This place was vast, and it was difficult to see what was happening there just by looking at the celestial signs. He had no interest in investigating.
Having obtained the Four Seasons Flower of Dreams, his goal was accomplished. He couldn't wait to return to Crane's Cry Mountain and cultivate diligently until he broke through.
With a light step, Qin Sang swept down the mountainside and flew westward.
After leaving Guidie Mountain, Qin Sang felt increasingly uneasy, his expression becoming more serious.
He hadn't traveled far before encountering two waves of demon soldiers, both led by demon marshals under the command of the Marquis's mansion, marching rapidly.
This text was empty.
Qin Sang suspected that all the demon generals under Lü Hou had been mobilized!
His ominous premonition grew stronger, his speed unrelenting as he pressed forward. As expected, he encountered more of the demon lord's subordinates.
Here is the translated text, keeping only the content within the tags:
On the bank of an unnamed river, Qin Sang concealed himself within the canopy, coldly watching as a detachment of demonic soldiers vanished into the distance.
He pondered silently.
Lately, he's probably figured out some patterns.
Both demon commanders from Guidie Mountain were heading toward the Hou Mansion in the east. The other demon commanders they encountered, however, seemed to be heading northwest, as if pursuing someone.
"Could it be that someone was just making a commotion at the Hou Mansion"
Witnessing this scene, Qin Sang couldn't help but think like this.
He inwardly cursed, contemplating his current predicament.
To the west is a shortcut to leave the ghost country, but judging by the posture of the demon army, continuing westward would very likely lead them into the midst of battle. Northward is even less desirable. Turning back means returning to the Demon Marquis's residence.
To avoid being caught in the crossfire, they had to detour south.
>
The besieged one might be a human cultivator, but Qin Sang had no intention of rescuing them. His strength didn't allow him to do so.
Qin Sang acted decisively and immediately changed direction.
Although eager to escape, Qin Sang dared not use his fastest technique, Lei Dun. There were demons roaming everywhere, and Lei Dun's movements were too ostentatious. Once activated, he would surely become the target of all.
But Qin Sang was not without other options. He leaped from the tree canopy, transforming in a flash, changing into the form of a spiritwood.
He deliberately controlled himself, making his size almost identical to his original form. While this limited his ability to unleash his full power, it granted him incredible agility.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Qin Sang vanished abruptly.
The next moment, a treeman emerged from an ancient tree deep in the forest, then vanished without a sound.
Qin Sang used the divine powers of his spiritwood body to move among the grasses and trees.
His breath mingled with the surrounding vegetation, concealing him from the demon soldiers effortlessly.
Though it may appear lumbering, the spiritwood body is surprisingly quick.

Just as Qin Sang continuously journeyed south, Zhenren Cui Wei was being hotly pursued by two demon marquis, her situation precarious.
He was caught off guard and completely unprepared for this.
Having discovered that two demon lords were approaching, True Person Cuiwei understood that Lord Liu had been prepared for this. Even if the plan to lure the snake out of its hole had worked, it would have been impossible to capture these demons.
Knowing her current situation was extremely dangerous, True Person Cuimi didn't hesitate and turned to flee.
The Golden Armored General and the Strategist Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a long time, how could they let him escape They pursued relentlessly.
Liao Hou's cultivation was inferior to that of Jin Jia, the mighty Han Dynasty general, but he excelled in flying and divine powers. The two yokai rode side by side, their light disappearing like lightning.
"So this old geezer is still alive!"
Liu Hou gritted his teeth. He and Cui Wei Zhenren were old acquaintances.
"Where is his helper"
The Golden Armored Han was puzzled, he couldn't believe that True Person Cuiwei dared to come alone.
Liu Hou did not answer, part of his mind was on contacting the outside world and issuing orders.
All of the demon soldiers in the entire enclosure have been mobilized.
The Ghost Nation and the Daoist sect have been fighting for many years, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, often achieving victory with less against more. Under the leadership of the Demon Marquis, they can even exert astonishing combat power.
However, it's not easy to encircle and kill Zhenren Dongxuan. One must carefully lay out a plan.
Liu Hou's subordinates scattered across their fiefdoms, seeming chaotic at first glance, but in reality, they were well-organized and gradually consolidating their power.
The distance between them and True Person Cuiwei was gradually shrinking.
Just then, the Golden Armored General let out a surprised "Eh!" and his escaping light suddenly stopped. His entire golden armor shone with dazzling golden light.

At almost the same time, four mountain peaks rose up like pillars reaching into the heavens, each towering a thousand feet high.
The two demons happened to step into the range of the four celestial pillars.
If Qin Sang were nearby at this time, there would be a sense of familiarity.
Within the four celestial pillars, one half was crimson red with rolling flames, while the other half was deathly pale with a chilling cold. The constant clanging of chains echoed through the air—it was indeed the Water-Fire Hell he had seen before!
However, the prison established by that venerated master was simply no match for this Waterfire Heavenly Prison in terms of both influence and power.
Four pillars stand firm in prison.

Water and fire coexist.
Amidst the celestial fire, countless crimson rays shot forth.
On the other side, a frigid cold froze the earth.
Those unfortunate souls who fell into the hell of heaven, either burned to ashes or froze to death, instantly became nothing.
>
This is a genuine dead zone, only the two demons who just stepped in are alive.
Lu Hou instinctively wanted to retreat.
The Golden Armored Han let out a roar, and in the dazzling golden light, he transformed into a Golden Furred Giant Ape as massive as a mountain.
A terrifying aura shook the heavens and earth, but the four pillars of Heavenly Prison remained unmoved. Endless water and fire surged forth.
The Golden-furred Giant Ape let out a plume of white breath from its nostrils, letting out a disdainful snort. It didn't take a step back, standing firmly atop the twin peaks, puffing out its chest and raising its tremendously large arms, suddenly spreading them wide to the sides.
>
“Boom!” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Water and fire were driven back.
>
The golden giant ape seemed to open a door in the void, resisting the shackles of the heavenly prison. The tremors caused by its struggle made the two celestial pillars closest to it quiver.
It suddenly reared its head, its piercing gaze cutting through the gaps between water and fire, "So it's you!"
>
Above the Celestial Prison, three figures stood suspended in mid-air.
It was precisely the True Person Cui Wei, along with the Nine Heavens Golden Vault Imperial History and the Black-skinned Strange Man who came to lend a hand.
"Lord Dazzling, it's good to see you!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The Celestial Official of the Nine Heavens, residing high above, surveyed the scene with a composed demeanor. However, this was not a time for verbal sparring, so he simply nodded to the dark-skinned creature beside him.
Here is the translation:

The dark-skinned monster threw the scroll in his hand. The scroll unfolded in mid-air, and eight silver talismans flew out, heading straight for the two monsters.
This is a tool used for ambushes, it can only be used to obstruct the enemy.
What happened
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Nine Heavens Golden Que Envoy frowned and looked at the True Person Cuiwei. He arrived as promised, but unexpectedly, the True Person Cuiwei fled first.
“I may have overestimated myself,” said Cuiwei Zhenren, without defending himself. “The demons were prepared long ago. We need to leave as soon as possible. There will be reinforcements outside the Ghost Fang Kingdom.”
Having said that, the three of them didn't hesitate any longer, flying away without a thought of fighting.
"Roar!"
The Golden-haired Giant Ape saw the three fleeing, let out a deafening roar, its body swelling with blood and muscle to an extreme degree. Its qi surged into its arms, and with a mighty shove, there was a deafening boom – the four pillars collapsed with a crash, and the Heavenly Prison was shattered by its sheer force!
Flames scattered, cold air surged, and the surroundings turned into a desolate wasteland.
Then, the Golden Hair Giant Ape leaped with force, swinging its fists at the eight talismans. Leaving Hou's back quivered, shooting a white ray that transformed into a sword shape, helping the Golden Hair Giant Ape break the curse.
The golden-furred giant ape was incredibly powerful, smashing all eight talismans to pieces.
At this moment, Lü Hou's face suddenly darkened. "Someone has infiltrated the Marquis' Mansion!"
The Golden-haired Giant Ape was taken aback and sneered, "Could their target be the treasures in the Brotherhood's Mansion"
Liu Hou frowned, for fear of leaks, many valuable treasures were not moved out, and being robbed would be a huge loss, but the immortals of the Taoist court certainly wouldn't look down on them.
"A scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
The golden-furred giant ape snorted coldly, “My fourth brother and the others should be here by now. Send a message for my fourth brother to return and keep a close eye on that thief. We continue the pursuit, not one escapes!”
Liu Hou nodded.
He certainly didn't find just one helper, but for a nebulous enemy, it wouldn't be possible for them all to stay here with him.
The Dazzling Gem Marquis, his closest friend, came at his invitation and lingered here for several years.
Upon discovering the enemy's presence, he immediately sent a warning message and summoned reinforcements from the Hou Mansion's relocation formation. However, as soon as they left the mansion, someone infiltrated it from behind.
Liu Hou followed the plan and sent a signal. Seeing the golden-haired giant ape transform into a golden light and fly away, he hurriedly chased after it. (The End)ing a look of surprise. There were a dozen or so cultivators in front of him, standing very close together, intently watching something.No wonder there are so few people in other places, they've all c...
