Chapter 1736: Old Enemy
i invoked the Flying Needle Technique, brandishing his arms with a shout.Suddenly, countless rays of light erupted from Yuàn Zhào Gate, like solitary fireflies against the night sky. The disciples of...Tianxing Island.
The island was thronged with distinguished guests, and Bao Zhengnan and Zhuo Ming were too busy to cope.
When Qin Sang and Yang Shuzhang were discussing cultivation techniques, a maidservant outside reported that Bao Xi had arrived.
The esteemed Master Yang, understanding the situation, gracefully withdrew.

Bao Xi bowed and said, "I have news about the people your friend Qin is looking for. However..."
His voice faltered, Bao Xi hesitated to speak.
From her expression, Qin Sang knew what was coming and said in a low voice: "Heaven has its laws, people have their destinies. Fellow Daoist, speak freely."
Bao Xi nodded. “Chen Hufa went to Lingchun Island himself and didn't find the sects that Wang Daoyou belonged to. After inquiries in the vicinity, he learned that during the demonic chaos, a demon king had broken through the defense line. Lingchun Island was right on the path of the demon clan's invasion, so the island's cultivators were forced to flee. The two Wang Daoyou's sects also couldn't escape, but luckily they both got out alive, but they were all injured to varying degrees and none of them could break through to the Yuan Ying stage, so they have already passed away.”

Before learning the result, Qin Sang already had a hunch that the Wang sisters probably wouldn't pass this hurdle.
Though acknowledging the passing of this person, I can't help but lament the cruelty of time.
"Where do their sects now stand"
"After fleeing from Lingchun Island, they led the surviving disciples to Xihai, where they found an island and rebuilt their sect. However, the sect's foundation was destroyed, and its talents dwindled. Later on, it became quite difficult. The two Wang Dao friends poured their heart and soul into the sect, and after these years of recuperation, they finally managed to recover some vitality..."
Bao Xi gave a simple description of the current state of the Wang sisters' clan.

The demonic chaos has had a profound impact, and the situation for Canglang Sea cultivators is far worse than before.
>
The casualties brought by war are secondary.
The Sea Demon Clan can now threaten the depths of Canglang Sea, a stark contrast to their previous state of being passively beaten. They no longer have so many concerns.
Although the teleportation array leading to the Monster Sea is still under the control of cultivators, the Monster Sea is far more dangerous than before. Only a handful of powerful individuals dare to hunt monsters in the Monster Sea.
Cultivation resources have dwindled.
The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker.
"The current head of the sect is a disciple of Wang Xiang, Daoist Friend. Chen Hufa has already invited her to Tianxing Island. Should we let her come to see Daoist Friend" Bao Xi asked.
Qin Sang shook her head slightly, "No need, it's kind of you to take care of the palace in the future."
Bao Xi didn't ask much, readily agreed, protecting a small sect from the Four Saints Palace was just a snap of her fingers. She continued, "People from the palace went to the Leifeng Archipelago, but they couldn't find any female cultivators who matched Bai Ying'er's features, and no one on the battlefield had seen the two-headed hound described by your friend. However, during the investigation, we got a piece of information. A hundred years ago, a cultivator sneaked into the Demon Sea to hunt demons, and he encountered a three-headed demon hound, which should be a demon king in its transformed form. According to that person, the three-headed demon hound didn't intend to kill him, just glanced at him and then left proudly. The man was so frightened that he saw a white-clothed woman beside the three-headed demon hound from afar, but he wasn't sure if it was a human cultivator."
"Three-headed monster"
Qin Sang recalled that when the two-headed hound followed him, it had two heads. But another bulge was clearly visible, breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, making it truly possible to grow another head.
“What the heck kind of bloodline is this guy He gains another head every time he breaks through a realm”
Qin Sang muttered to herself.
Unfortunately, those who witnessed the scene were too scared to move and couldn't clearly see the appearance of the three-headed monstrous dog or the woman in white.
If it really is a two-headed hound, with that guy's arrogant nature, he wouldn't be content being someone else's spirit beast. Having a woman by his side, it couldn't be that he'd taken her as a pet, could it
It sounds like that guy is living the good life.
Having thought of this, Qin Sang said, "If we can find it, then well and good. If not, we won't force it. Knowing the news of our old friend is enough, there's no need to bother them unnecessarily."

Bao Xidao said understandingly, then brought up another powerful demon, "It can be basically confirmed that the Nine Phoenix King you're looking for is the current Nine Phoenix King of the Phoenix Clan in the Demon Sea. She has always been a major enemy of our human race. This demon holds a high position within the Demon Army. Although her cultivation is only at the peak of the middle stage of transformation, her supernatural powers are extraordinary. Even Elder Zhuo doesn't have confidence in capturing her alive. Many Nascent Soul cultivators have lost their lives to her."

Hearing Bao Xi recount the numerous atrocities committed by Queen Jiu Feng, Qin Sang was not surprised. Queen Jiu Feng must be the first demon king from the Sea of Demons to infiltrate Canglang Sea.
Both courage and ability are first-rate.

The intelligence that King Jiufeng had gathered while hiding in Canglang Sea proved very useful when the demon clan invaded Canglang Sea.
"Where is she now" Qin Sang asked.
Although Qin Sang's expression and tone remained unchanged, Bao Xi keenly sensed that it was different from the feeling he had when talking about the three-headed monster earlier.
The Nine Phoenix King has always been a thorn in the side of the Four Sacred Palaces. Bao Xi felt secretly pleased, "There's a large army of the Phoenix Clan stationed on a demon island two thousand miles north of Da Huang Island. They changed their commander ten years ago. The new commander is reclusive and mysterious. According to intelligence gathered by our spies, we suspect it might be the Nine Phoenix King."
In the last war, the demon clan failed to capture the Dahuang Island but left several armies stationed within ten thousand miles of it, keeping a close eye on the human race.
>
After that, the three clans fell silent for a long time.
>
The Four Sacred Palaces know full well that the demon race is amassing its strength, ready to launch another major war at any moment. However, there's not much they can do about it; both humans and witches need to prepare for a long battle.

Now that a storm is brewing, Bao Zhengnan is having a headache. Qin Sang's arrival couldn't be more timely.
"It's clear whether it is or isn't."
Qin Sang calmly said, taking the sea chart handed over by Bao Xi and memorizing the location of that demon island.
Three days later.
The grand event was held as scheduled.

All schools and factions thought the great war was about to begin, each acting as if facing a formidable enemy. Until Qin Sang appeared, astonishing everyone in the audience.
Upon hearing that Qin Sang would mediate the dispute between the two domains, some people were dissatisfied, feeling that although Qin Sang was from the human race, he did not benefit the human race. They grumbled privately but dared not speak ill of him in his presence.
More people felt relieved.
After years of fighting, they had witnessed countless tragedies and were exhausted both physically and mentally.

What is the true meaning of cultivation
During those dark and hopeless days, many people questioned their inner selves. If living a life of non-confrontation could lead to immortality, it would surely be the dream of most cultivators.
It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable, and the conflicts between the three clans deepen with time.
The root of the hatred stems from the incessant hunting of demons by humans and the witch clan. However, they can also use the Great Dao as an excuse, appearing righteous and justified. It is even less likely that they would give up on spirit pills like the Shayao Dan.
Cultivation always involves competition.
At the start, the resentment of the demon race was profound. Now, the demon race is again committing countless bloodsheds in Canglang Sea.
Love and hate, a tangled mess, I can't figure it out.
It was fortunate that a highly esteemed person appeared, standing above the fray and willing to mediate. They immediately gained the support of most people.
Especially after Qin Sang announced the existence of a celestial ascension platform, there was an uproar. Even these usually calm Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't sit still and bombarded him with questions, demanding to know if it was true or not.
>
Those who are not resigned to their fate will also cast aside grievances and grudges.
The reason for the incessant fighting is that there's no way out in sight. People can only focus on immediate gains and scheme for future benefits, inevitably becoming preoccupied with every penny.
Everyone present was a master of their domain, yet how many dared to aspire to become a divine being
In the later stage of the Nascent Soul, one can ascend to the Ascension Platform. This undoubtedly brings hope to them, as it is at least easier than becoming a God Transformation cultivator.
Under the leadership of Qin Sang and the Four Sacred Palaces, a covenant was established within the human race, with the search for the Ascension Platform as the top priority. However, whether or not the war could be stopped was not solely up to the human race.
Qin Sang stated that he would soon go to the Demon Sea and visit the major tribes of the Demon Sea.
After taking the oath, Qin Sang went into seclusion and did not see anyone.
Many people wanted to visit, but they were all stopped by the Four Saints Palace.
>
In the following days, Lord Yang devoted himself to practicing the Yin-Yang Heavenly Battle Art with Qin Sang. They worked together to refine the techniques, and even for parts that couldn't be changed, Qin Sang offered suggestions, using other secret arts or pills to circumvent potential dangers.
Cultivating techniques drains the mind greatly, even more so than cultivation itself!
>
Finally, Qin Sang finished organizing the Yin Yang Heavenly Combat Secret Art completely. In the future, there would be fewer bottlenecks when practicing the Yin Yang lineage, and he himself benefited greatly from it.

It was this day.
Qin Sang sat alone in his cave, his fingertips pinching the white chess piece, turning it over and over again.
Perfecting the martial arts technique is also a step-by-step exploration of the secrets of the white chess, but with Qin Sang's cultivation base, he couldn't find any clues in a short period of time.
Think about what you have to do next, please.
Cultivating one's body, repairing the Taiyi Star Chart, and comprehending sword formations are all more important than playing white chess.
Also, don't forget the spirit fire!
Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers curled inward, as he put away the white chess piece. After a moment of contemplation, he got up and walked out of the cave, heading straight for the teleportation array. When he arrived at Dahuang Island, Bao Zhengnan was already there with a group of people waiting for him.
"Is Qin Zhenjun going to the demon clan today"
When in public, Bao Zhengnan was always polite and well-mannered.
Standing on the highest point of Dahuang Island, Qin Sang looked around. The island was bustling with people, and the army was in full formation.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Human race wants to stop fighting, but the Demon race may not agree. Bao Zhengnan is gathering a large army to bolster Qin Sang's strength.
This is a placeholder.
Such a commotion couldn't be hidden. News of the Human tribe's movement on the Great Wilderness Island spread to the demon clan like the wind.
Yueying Island.
This island is located two thousand miles north of the Great Desolate Island. Thousands of years ago, it was under the rule of the Phoenix Clan. There is a kind of spirit tree called Luo Ying on the island, which bears crimson fruits, a favorite food of the Phoenix Clan.
After the human race set up a teleportation array on Dahuang Island, Luoying Island, due to its proximity, was quickly captured by human cultivators. All descendants of the Phoenix clan on the island were driven out.
Lo Ying Zhu Guo is harmful to people and offers no benefits.
But Luoning tree was a rare spiritual tree, and it was soon cut down by human beings. Later, some cultivators saw that the island's spiritual energy was abundant, so they established their cave dwellings there and completely took over.
For thousands of years, the demonic clan has organized countless counterattacks and even regained control of Luòyíng Island, but they were unable to conquer Dàhuāng Island and eventually failed.
>Until hundreds of years ago, the human race learned a painful lesson and dared not act recklessly again. Luoning Island returned to the control of the Phoenix Clan, but unfortunately, the Luoning Spirit Tree was gone.
The Fen Clan stationed a large army on this island to monitor the Human race. When something happens in Dahuang Island, this is the first place to know about it.
The phoenix is the king of spiritual birds.
Those affiliated with the Phoenix clan are mostly bird demon tribes.
Now, the towering trees on Luoying Island are densely packed. Among their luxuriant foliage, numerous nests and cave dwellings can be seen, all carved into the crowns of the trees.
There are often strange birds patrolling the sky.
The leader of a demon bird is easy to distinguish. Most have vibrant plumage, or a feature somewhere on their body resembling the legendary divine bird Phoenix, often being direct descendants of the Phoenix clan.
However, even a descendant of the Nine Phoenix King like this one, because the phoenix bloodline is too diluted, appears quite out of place. But the special thing about demons lies in their ability to continuously refine their bloodlines during cultivation, gradually transforming themselves.
This moment.
On the island of Luoying, demonic birds constantly soared into the sky. Squads of demonic birds, led by their leaders, flew in different directions.

In a magnificent treehouse on the island.
The Nine Phoenix King transformed into a human form, her appearance was beautiful and delicate. She looked the same as she did many years ago, but her eyes were sharper, clearly indicating that she had experienced many battles.
She held in her hand a golden short horn, shaped like the horn of a dragon, covered in blood vessels.
The short horn emitted a faint glow, and blood vessels writhed, piercing the Nine Phoenix King's flawless skin.
The Nine Phoenix King didn't feel the pain, slightly closed his eyes, and immediately sensed a question coming from the short horn.
"How could the human race assemble their army at this time Who leaked the secret"
“Who else could have leaked it” another voice chimed in, “The human race is timid like rats. Any little breeze or rustle of leaves, any action wouldn’t be strange. The Dragon King didn't even think he could truly conceal it from them. No matter what, we have been preparing for so long, it is bound to succeed!”
"Don't you find it strange that the human race is reacting so fiercely, even though our army hasn't set out yet" the first person questioned.
"Does the Wind King think that humanity dares to launch a counterattack" a third person interjected.
“I suspect the human race has ulterior motives!”
“I share that suspicion,” Jiufeng Wang suddenly interjected, “I have ordered my subordinates to spread out and monitor the movements of the human race. You must also be wary of other directions and not be misled by appearances.”
The Nine Phoenix King held a high position among these demon kings. As soon as she spoke, there was a chorus of agreement. Another demon king reminded her: "The Nine Phoenix King must also be careful. If the human race knew you were here, they would definitely send experts to sneak attack."
After a brief exchange with the other demon kings stationed near the desolate island, Jiu Feng Wang retracted her short horns and rubbed her temples. She wasn't worried about her safety; the island was already prepared, and with her innate supernatural powers, even if numerous human cultivators arrived, she could teleport away at any time.
The Human race has gathered a large army at this time, what are they planning

In his contemplation, the Nine Phoenix King pushed open the wooden door and was about to release some more troops when suddenly he felt the giant tree beneath him tremble violently. A thunderclap erupted in the clear sky!
King Jiu Feng was greatly alarmed, and he looked up in terror. He saw a flash of lightning-like sword light slashing down upon the formation from high above.
Unlike the Phoenix Clan and Human Race who inherit different traditions, they are skilled at inspiring tribal bloodlust, condensing demon formations, whose power is not weaker than human spirit formations. However, under this single strike, the entire Luo Ying Island trembles.
'Bang bang bang...'

Under the sword light, a blood-colored light shield flashed in mid-air. At this moment, cracks were all over it.
But until this moment, she had not yet seen who the enemy was!
>
The Nine Phoenix King turned his head to rush back into the wooden hut, but suddenly his eyes went blurry, and a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Her jade hand transformed into a blade, her palm shimmering with seven colors, instinctively ready to strike. At the same time, she forced blood from her palm, but before she could unleash her supernatural powers, a terrifying pressure descended upon her, freezing her in place, her face contorted in terror.
Before she could recover, the scenery around her changed drastically.
All ancient trees were gone, replaced by a starry sky. The Nine Phoenix King could sense that her connection with the outside world was completely cut off by the stars, and all the arrangements of her clan on the island had failed!
"Where are you going, friend"
Qin Sang fell openly before King Jiufeng.

The King of Jiufeng hadn't recognized Qin Sang at first, just feeling a sense of familiarity. But the experience at Qisha Dian left a deep impression on her, and she finally remembered Qin Sang, gasping in surprise, "It's you"
