Chapter 1218: Progress

the powerful experts of the Merchant Alliance, while having strong helpers, also makes them more conspicuous and easier for powerful demons to target.After cultivating the Heavenly Demon Refining For...All went well on the way.

As they neared the Gu Kou Pass, Qin Sang and She Wang grew increasingly wary, anticipating a trap set by Zui Yuan at this location.

Here is the text translated into English:

Fortunately, Zui Yuan had no abnormalities and returned to Tianxing Plateau smoothly.

The Serpent King stayed at Húkǒu Pass first to exchange information with the Feather King about Ye Laomo and Blood Lake. Ye Laomo was ambitious and incredibly powerful, so the demon race had to prepare in advance.

After Qin Sang contacted the Two Domains Alliance to come and testify, he returned to the mountains to recuperate.

Qin Sang returned to Shi Qu Mountain alone and went to see his senior sister openly.

After visiting Shiqu Mountain before, Qin Sang and her senior sister had communicated several times through letters. On the surface, they were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to meet secretly like last time.

“As your junior brother, you just returned from the Abyss of Sin. What happened to you there”

Qingjun's grotto was in a former palace of a king or marquis within the city.

She was meditating when she was startled by Qin Sang.

Qin Sang was waiting in the hall. When she saw her senior sister walk in, she felt that the entire hall had become brighter. She was still wearing a fiery red dress, and the coldness in her expression from the first time Qin Sang had seen her true face formed a stark contrast to it.

However, when approaching her sister, one could still sense a faint detachment from the world, which was closely related to her principles of dealing with people.

At that time, she refined herself into a puppet, closing off her emotions and suppressing her inner demons.

But she didn't know whether her temperament and cultivation, after solving the hidden danger of the "Wusheng Demon Seal," had also been affected by that experience.

Although Qin Sang had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his senior sister still gave him a feeling of mystery, like an enigma that he could never see through.

"Can't you visit your senior sister unless there's something wrong"

Qin Sang got up, smiled and said something, then her tone changed, and she said in a deep voice, "I found something interesting in the Abyss of Sin. Let me ask my senior sister's opinion first."

“Oh Could it be that the Abyssal Depths are truly connected to the ancient demons What clues have you found”

Qīngjūn waved his hand, setting up a soundproof barrier.

“That’s not true.”

Qin Sang shook her head.

This time, he had almost visited all the most important forbidden places in the Abyss of Sin, and he really didn't find any traces related to the ancient demons.

The senior and junior sisters sat opposite each other.

Qin Sang continued, "I found a passage by accident in Tianhen and went into Yu Xuan once."

Qing Jun's eyes flashed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Back then, I weighed it carefully, worried about being discovered and trapped inside. I didn't dare to barge in. Unexpectedly, my junior brother has such courage to enter the Abyssal Ruins."

>“Most of the Yuan Ying cultivators were drawn to the front lines. Now, the danger in the Abyss is incomparable to what it was before, not to mention that I still have an escape route.”

Qin Sang shook his head and said, “I met Ye Lao Mo in the Abyss.”

Qingjun was slightly stunned, her expression turning serious as she listened to Qin Sang finish recounting his ordeal.

Qin Sang and Ye Lao Mo had only fought a few times while chasing each other. They didn't know much about Ye Lao Mo, so Qin Sang could only speak of what he had discovered and let his senior sister judge whether it was the true body or a clone.

Then Qin Sang also told him about the incident with the Blood Lake.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Qingjun spoke, "I once served as an attendant for Zhen Daochang and witnessed his battle against Ye Laomo. The magical artifact you mentioned should be Ye Laomo's Blood Moon Wheel. However, this man is quite eclectic in his studies. Not only is he proficient in blood dao secrets, but he also dabbles in five element dao techniques and other demonic arts, making him very difficult to deal with. During your absence, both sides have remained relatively peaceful, with only minor skirmishes. Although Ye Laomo hasn't made a move himself, we cannot definitively say that it was not one of his avatars."

"Ye Lao Mo felt more dangerous than a true Yuan Ying mid-stage peak cultivator from Canglang Sea. Using only blood dao secret arts, he fought two of us and almost forced out all my means."

Qin Sang sighed, "If Ye Lao Mo had a doppelganger of this level, even without the ancient demons, we would have to seriously consider our retreat."

Qingjun was not worried at all. He raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "It's common for secret arts like refining corpses, incarnations, second primordial spirits, and puppets to surpass the strength of cultivators themselves. Either it takes a lot of energy for cultivators to refine them, or they need to encounter great opportunities. Elder Ye has been stuck at the peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul for many years, unable to break through. It's normal for him to be distracted by refining an incarnation. However, Zhen Daochang and Tongyou Demon Lord are not simple either. Let's just wait and see..."

Qin Sang also thought it was reasonable. When he was at the middle stage of Jindan, he already had an outer avatar at the peak of Jindan stage. Although he encountered a bottleneck and couldn't cultivate further, this was a special case.

Ye Lao Mo has reigned over the Zui Yuan for many years, his power is immeasurable. It's not strange that he possesses such an avatar.

He said so much just to remind his senior sister. Seeing that she wasn't afraid at all, he stopped talking.

As the formidable Lao Mo was unrivaled, he wouldn't recklessly fight to the death. He took his loyal followers, the denizens of Qianshan Bamboo Sea, as well as several disciples, and set sail, living a carefree life once again.

After discussing Ye Lao Mo, Qing Jun asked, "The matter of Blood Lake needs careful consideration. Although I have never entered it, I have heard a few legends that it is very unusual. This matter is probably going to require the joint deliberation of cultivators from both domains. At that time, you will definitely need to speak in person, and it might involve your secrets."

The Snake King is at the Húkǒu Pass; he will be there when the time comes.

Qin Sang had already discussed this matter with the Snake King. He didn't want to be so high-profile and pushed most of the credit onto the Snake King, who laughed at him for being slick.

The junior and senior disciples exchanged some more thoughts. Qin Sang took the opportunity to ask his senior sister for advice on some cultivation difficulties, and Qing Jun answered them easily, giving Qin Sang a lot of guidance.

This made Qin Sang have a new understanding of her senior sister's abilities.

Unconsciously, more than two hours have passed.

Qin Sang got up and said goodbye, going to see Meigu and asking if she had any new developments.

Qing Jun's current appearance is unsuitable for going out, so he only sent Qin Sang to the hall entrance. "Almost forgot something! I've been contemplating the Demon Binding Rope recently and have made some progress. I don't know if all this effort will pay off and if there's a chance I can actually use it."

It's better to be prepared than sorry.

Qin Sang thought to himself that it was better not to use it. The ancient demon was too terrifying, and he didn't want to encounter a second one.

Leaving the mansion, Qin Sang came to the courtyard from last time.

In a short while, Mei Gu received the signal and rushed to the spot.

Qin Sang sized up his cheap disciple, nodding in approval. "Not bad, your cultivation has improved."

"Thank you, Master, for the elixir you have given me."

Mei Gu's expression was unusually excited, "Furthermore, the disciple, following Master's guidance, gained insights during combat and truly made significant progress as a result."

This is Qin Sang's experience summarized while practicing the killing Dao technique, which is more than enough to guide Mei Gu.

He thought for a moment, and then decided to have Li Yufu and the others take turns coming to the front lines to gain some experience. After all, with him watching over them, there was no need to worry about their safety.

"Seeing you so happy, there must be some progress"

Qin Sang put away his thoughts and smiled at his disciples.

Meigu smiled and said, "It's no use trying to hide from your master's keen eyes. This disciple has taken the initiative to get close to that Taoist friend during this time, probing around and gathering some scattered information. Putting it all together, it is enough to confirm some things."
