g just recently, it's barely a child yet. He's already in his seventies! Even if he is considered a grandfather, he doesn't have much of an advantage.The fat chicken seemed to really understand, and i..."Still trying to make excuses!"

Xiang Yi roared angrily, his eyes icy cold. "Cui Ji, do you think Xiang's sword is not fast enough, or that I am afraid to kill You have jeopardized the alliance of merchants! First, I will take your life!"

When the atmosphere grew tense, the portly man in fine clothes darted between the two and interjected, "Daoist Xiang, please calm down. Daoist Cui must have been certain that his actions wouldn't affect the bigger picture before he made his move. The ferocious beast appeared suddenly, and the situation was urgent. Daoist Xiang was inside the stone hall at the time and couldn't discuss it with you..."

The fat man, while speaking, winked at Cui Ji.

"Daoist Cui, you are so eager to kill Daoist Qingfeng. I heard that you have been stuck at a bottleneck for over ten years, with no clue how to break through. Could this person be your demon obstacle, the reason why you are trapped in the bottleneck and unable to advance"

Cuiji bowed his head to Xiang Yi, admitting his mistake and shaking his head: "This time, the bottleneck was unusually solid. I exhausted myself for many years and was almost desperate. Later, I got news that there was a spiritual medicine in Qisha Hall that might help me break through. I'm not sure myself whether the demon cultivator is my obstacle. Originally, it wasn't necessary to kill him. Twenty years ago, Cui had not completely let go of the old grievance. But when I saw him on Dahuang Island, a surge of evil fire welled up in my heart that was difficult to suppress. It must have been influenced. Just in case, it's better to kill him to avoid wasting the spiritual medicine because of my obstacle..."

The man in fine clothes nodded, "Friend Xiang, the two of us have followed your orders and kept a close eye on everyone else's movements. I just approached secretly and investigated. Besides this fellow surnamed Pan, the others should be fine. Didn't we say six people were enough to break the formation Friend Cui was a little impulsive, but fortunately he didn't ruin things."

Seeing that Xiangyi's expression had softened slightly, both the fat man in fine clothes and Cui Ji secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The man in fine clothes, pointing at the severed remains on the ground, asked, "Daoist Xiang, are you sure about his identity"

"Split Earth Sect!"

"Xiong Yi kicked the corpse of the behemoth. "Have you seen this Lithoderm Lizard The Lithoderm Lizards are ferocious and only the Litoearth Sect in the cultivation world has the secret method to tame them. This man's Lithoderm Lizard has the incredible strength of a late-stage demonic core, which is rare even in the Litoearth Sect, showing that his status is definitely extraordinary. Moreover, he was hiding his strength; his cultivation level was only slightly lower than mine. If it weren't for the Alliance Leader giving me a Water Gang Divine Thunder, I might have really fallen victim to him."

"Water Gang Divine Thunder No wonder there's so much commotion! I heard this is a secret treasure of the water attribute, only accessible to Yuan Ying ancestors who have cultivated the Water Gang Divine Art. It takes a considerable amount of time to refine, and its power is astonishing."

The fat man looked down at the plate-carrying cultivator, tsk-tsking twice. "Earth-Splitting Sect Could it be a demon cultivator I didn't expect this. It seems that our Commerce League has been targeted by demons."

He nodded.

"Is there anything strange about this Our Three Great Merchant Alliances have always been seen as thorns in the side by both the righteous and demonic factions. If not for the fact that our Three Great Merchant Alliances stick together and keep to our own affairs, never showing any ambition, we would have long since been wiped out by the joint forces of the righteous and demonic factions."

>

In the Sea of Demons, many righteous and demonic cultivators were recruited by major merchant guilds, but they were all treated as guest disciples. Someone like this, who infiltrated the core of a merchant guild, must definitely have ulterior motives.

“This time, I had no choice but to expose myself and snatch the task assigned by the alliance leader.”

As for whether this person was instructed by the demonic way or acted on their own accord, it remains unknown.

“The Sand Lizard is skilled in Earth Style jutsu, this person should have released the Sand Lizard in the canyon. With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult to evade our perception. Then command the Sand Lizard to lure the Purple Star Falcon during the chaos, and they can take advantage of the situation.”

The man in fine clothes, a fat one with a chuckle, said, "This person is indeed shrewd, but he's still inferior to Xiang Dao-you. He never expected that we had anticipated this and the real task lies ahead. This stone hall is just the first step of the mission. Xiang Dao-you used a little trick to lure him out. However..."

The well-dressed, portly man’s tone shifted, a puzzled expression crossing his face. “From what I hear from Xiang Daoist, this mission isn’t particularly difficult. The Merchant Alliance sent over an Nascent Soul ancestor who could accomplish it effortlessly without breaking a sweat. Why go through so much trouble, only to have spies from the Demon Sect mixed in”

Xiang Yi glanced at her, "How do you know that the ancestor Yuan Ying hasn't come in"

Cui Ji and Fatty looked at each other in surprise.

"As the three major trading alliances, we're under the watchful eyes of both righteous and demonic cultivators. We won't easily deploy our Yuan Ying ancestors; those elders definitely have their own missions. Besides, it's inevitable to have spies infiltrated. The alliances aren't like sects, with various merchant guilds operating independently and unable to enforce absolute obedience. To appease all parties, the alliance leader can't monopolize the spots. All we can do is be careful ourselves and weed out the spies."

Xiang Yi turned to look at the battlefield: "Well, we've wasted enough time. Let's go and save Liu Daoist and the others first, so they don't die at the hands of the beasts. As for what happened before, Xiang can let bygones be bygones. From now on, whoever dares to leave their post again, don't blame Xiang for being ruthless!"

>

The man in fine robes and fat belly smiled, “Thank you for trusting me, Daoist Xiang. We will definitely do our best to complete the mission. Besides, An still relies on Daoist Xiang to help retrieve the treasure. How could I possibly be careless”

Cui Ji also nodded eagerly.

Xiang Yi charged towards the battlefield, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Cui Ji, "Are you sure Daoist Qingfeng is dead"

Cui Ji patted his chest, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am well prepared. I will severely injure him and witness him being invaded by the poisonous mist, drowning in the beast horde, he will undoubtedly die, and will absolutely not cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Xiang."

When they entered the battlefield to save people, Qin Sang's figure silently appeared at the edge of the big pit.

The situation was very different from what he had expected.

It turned out that Xiang Yi was fishing, and the richly dressed fat man and Cui Ji had already been recruited by Xiang Yi.

It seems that Cui Ji's surprise attack wasn't a bad thing. Otherwise, he might have faced the encirclement of Xiang Yi and his three men later on, which would definitely be more dangerous than now.

>

If Cui Ji is a venomous snake that devours people, Hua Fu Fatty is a smiling tiger, and Xiang Yi's cruelty surpasses both.

There was no animosity between him and the two people, they were just chatting merrily a moment ago. Yet, he could readily agree to help Cui Ji kill him without any hesitation.

Qin Sang lowered his head, looking at the cultivator with a surname and the crack-earth lizard.

Before the previous anomaly occurred, they were knocked away by a ground lizard and couldn't see clearly. It turned out that it wasn't a ferocious beast from the wasteland, but a spirit beast of a cultivator surnamed Pan.

"Split Earth Sect... Demonic Dao..."

Qin Sang overheard their conversation.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

The name "Liedu Sect" Qin Sang had heard of before. It seemed to be one of the major demon sects.

Qin Sang has been active in the Demon Sea and only has a superficial understanding of the Inner Sea.

According to him, within the Inner Sea, humanity flourished, with righteous and demonic forces clashing. Three major trading alliances suddenly rose, while many other factions, both large and small, as well as hermit cultivators, either chose seclusion or neutrality.

...Besides the menacing threat of the Wu Clan, the situation is indeed complex.

Opening up the Demon Sea has noticeably eased the situation in the Inner Sea. Otherwise, it would have been a warzone long ago.
