Chapter Ninety-Seventh: Accident and Choice

tering the middle layer, the celestial phenomena became even more terrifying. Packs of cloud beasts roamed, their power formidable. The riddled and weakened restrictions of the secret realm struggled...The night sky is as bright as day!

Qin Sang crawled out of a pile of mud, brushing off the debris from his body. He spat out blood and decaying leaves, then turned his head, staring in horror towards the direction of Yuang Zhao Gate.

A large sun hung in the sky, illuminating every detail of Yuanguang Peak.

The entire mountain range was bathed in daylight.

Mountains collapsed, and birds and beasts fled in panic.

A string of furious roars echoed, brimming with endless rage and sorrow.

Then dazzling light engulfed everything, the ground shook violently, and nothing could be seen.

Qin Sang tightly closed his eyes, startled in his heart. He didn't know what had happened there, but he could feel the terrifying fluctuations from that golden sun.

As the brilliance gradually faded and his vision returned, Qin Sang discovered that the towering Yuanzhao Peak had been cut in half, and even several surrounding mountains seemed to have shortened by a section.

This is the destructive power of a cultivator in the Jie Dan stage. Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and longing in his heart.

Qin Sang's eyes flickered; he had originally planned to find a place to observe.

He wasn't prejudiced against the demonic path before, and he didn't have a clear feeling about the struggle between good and evil in the cultivation world. He wasn't disgusted from the bottom of his heart, especially after hearing the inside story of the ascension meeting from that dashing young man in the gossip forbidden zone, Qin Sang understood that the righteous path was not necessarily clean.

He simply wanted to save his life, to live a little longer. So he was determined to leave the Kuiyin Sect.

There's always a difference between the righteous path and the demonic path.

Yuan Zhao Men also knew how to lure loose cultivators into the Bagua Forbidden Zone with the Ascension Conference, concealing their true intentions. They didn't even send their own disciples to risk their lives.

Even if it meant sacrificing the lives of his disciples, Master Yi would probably not hesitate for a moment to replace the sect with the Kui Yin Sect. Just think about the countless souls trapped in the Yin Sha Abyss - they are far more numerous than those in the Bagua Forbidden Land.

There's a saying that goes "no matter the cost". In the cultivation world, if a Qi Refining Stage cultivator doesn't have a backing, once things go wrong, they might just become "the cost". In the Demon Sect, it's even easier to become "the cost".

Either one becomes like Liang Yan, close to Yue Wu, and no one dares to provoke him. Or one becomes like Yue Wu, a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage themselves, a powerful force within the sect, only then is it possible to save their life.

Unfortunately, he was just a pawn whose life hung by a thread.

But as the saying goes, times change and circumstances evolve.

After obtaining the mysterious orchid, Qin Sang seemed to have an extra choice. If the Quyin sect triumphed, even if the mysterious orchid was extraordinary, he wouldn't dare run away with a spirit herb that the Golden Core master had his eyes on, not even if he had ten thousand guts.

I ran all day, barely escaping with my life. But a Jindan stage cultivator could catch up in an instant. With a single sweep of his divine sense, I was exposed, and there was nowhere to hide. Moreover, the heartworm parasite that had burrowed into my soul was still there. It seemed they could track me within a certain range through it.

Zhao Yan died without evidence, offering the mysterious orchid to the headmaster himself. With such a remarkable feat, the foundation-building pill might no longer be a distant dream.

As long as there is a chance to break through the foundation-building stage, it doesn't matter if one walks the path of darkness all the way in the Demon Sect.

But Qin Sang knew in his heart that this choice was tantamount to courting death!

However, it seemed that Yuang Zhao Men wasn't completely defenseless. After the explosion of that great sun, there was an eerie silence from their direction.

Demon flames, great formations, ghostly apparitions, cultivators...

Everything is gone!

The night sky is deathly silent!

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching roar echoed from the distant horizon: "Brother!"

A fiery red light, like a meteor, streaked across the sky with a mighty momentum. In the blink of an eye, it arrived above Yuanguang Gate and revealed the figure of a young man in black.

The young man looked at the dilapidated Yuanguang Gate in disbelief, his face filled with immense grief.

Just then, there was a loud 'boom'.

The remaining half of Yuanguang Peak collapsed with a deafening roar. From the smoke and dust, over a dozen figures emerged, their appearances haggard. Seeing the young man standing in mid-air, they were overjoyed: "Master Uncle! You've finally arrived!"

Here is the translation:

Only Yu Huaxiang was petrified, his eyes wide with terror.

But when they came face to face with the young man's icy gaze and saw their shattered sect, a bucket of cold water was poured over them.

‘Click!’

The heavens suddenly tore open, a crack splitting the sky. A wisp of black smoke drifted out from the fissure...

The young man suddenly raised his head, staring intently into the depths of the fissure, his eyes instantly filled with a crazed hatred.

"Kill!"

The fiery red sword possessed an awe-inspiring momentum that could cleave through anything. A wisp of black air, looking somewhat feeble, scurried frantically northward, not daring to pause for a moment.

Qin Sang watched with a trembling heart, his eyes wide with fear. Could this sudden arrival be reinforcements from Yuanguangmen Yuanguangmen's mountain gate had been besieged, their formation shattered. How could they possibly turn the tide of battle in such dire straits

This was a huge surprise to Qin Sang.

The divine sword and black qi chased each other, disappearing into the horizon.

Qin Sang's expression changed rapidly, and he quickly made a decision. He took out the Four Clouds Divine Ban and threw it away, holding the jade box in his hand, hesitating for a long time, but ultimately couldn't suppress the greed in his heart.

Qin Sang's face showed a hint of self-deprecating humor. He quickly searched Zhao Yan's pouch, taking out useful items and leaving the unfamiliar ones behind.

In the end, he actually found a familiar-looking bead. Qin Sang was overjoyed. He still vividly remembered the terrifying power of the bead. Even if he encountered a formidable enemy at the Qi refining stage, throwing out the bead would either kill them or leave them flustered and disoriented for a while.

Qin Sang held the beads in his hand, exerting all his effort to activate the Void Wind. All he could think about was escaping, getting as far away as possible.

With the help of a spirit pill to suppress his injuries, Qin Sang dragged his wounded body and fled against the wind. He headed west for several days before finding a cave where he discarded Zhao Yan's pouch. Then he changed course and went south.

When your spirit energy is depleted, find a cave to recover, then continue running. Eat wild fruits and drink mountain spring water, avoiding crowds.

He believed in the southwest direction.

When he was confined to Huanyang Valley during his time at Yuanzhao Sect, Qin Sang wanted to buy a geomancy map of the cultivation world but had no chance. He only learned about the cultivation world through Yue Wu's teachings and exchanges with fellow disciples when he was at Kuaiyin Sect, but they were all Qi Refinement disciples with limited experience.

They are located in the northwest corner of the entire continent, known as the Xiaohan Domain in the cultivation world. It is said that the continent is vast, with its edges enclosed by endless seas. However, how far east and south it extends, and how many major sects exist outside, only Yuan Ying-stage cultivators might know.

Even the western and northern borders, closest to them, were rarely visited, for the extreme west of Xiaohan was the territory of demons, and the north was the ancient battlefield of immortals!

It is rumored that the ancient fairy battlefield is extremely dangerous, but it also has incredible opportunities. Inside are countless ancient fairy mansions and relics.

When it comes to the battlefield of ancient immortals, everyone knows Yue Wu's prowess; however, those in the Qi Refinement stage are less informed. They have only heard about it through rumors and hearsay.

In the Xiaohan Domain, there are mainly three major forces. The west is occupied by the demon clan, the northeast is controlled by the Demon Gate, and Qin Sang's current escape direction is heading towards the territory of the righteous path.

The Guiyin Sect and the Yuanshao Gate happened to be located in a position where the righteous and demonic forces of the Xiaohan Domain were buffering each other. They both had Yuan Ying period ancestors sitting in town, and were flourishing for a time. Now they are gradually declining, but even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They still have some notoriety in the Xiaohan Domain.
