Chapter 2022: True Appearance

ime, Li Shidi was on the Heavenly Journey Plateau. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed over.”Qin Sang took the talisman, his divine sense sweeping over it, somewhat unexpectedly.Please not...The mysterious powerhouse's duel at Yumen Pass felt like a heavy stone weighing down on everyone's hearts, creating an invisible sense of tension.

Qin Sang guessed that one of them might be Tian Yue Shangren, but after waiting for a long time, there was no news. Tian Yue Shangren remained silent, perhaps he really had an accident.

Could something unexpected happen at this juncture Does it mean there's been an unknown change in the situation around Feng Ju Yu Men Will it have any impact on the upcoming Sword-Taking Plan

Qin Sang did not know, he could only continue to focus on laying out a retreat.

Soon enough, the next meeting arrived. They shortened the interval to three months, frequently meeting in the vast expanse of Fengju Yumen. This resulted in much time wasted on the journey back and forth. It was a necessity born out of the rapidly changing circumstances.

>

Of the three escape routes, one was discovered through records provided by the cultivators of the Xin family. It's possible that the Xin family could bring back valuable clues, so Qin Sang would personally meet with them every time.

Before the day of their agreement arrived, Qin Sang flew with Gu Ya to the edge of Feng Ju Yu Men.

After the Battle of Yumen Pass, Qin Sang always kept Gu Ya and Zhu Que by his side. Now he is preparing to send Gu Ya to Feng Ju Yumen.

They quickly reached an exit and could vaguely see the vast yellow sand outside. Qin Sang cast the Thunder Escape technique, transforming into a bolt of lightning that darted into the yellow sand and flew to the vicinity of Yumenguan.

After entering the city, he found that it was indeed much deserted compared to when he first arrived. It had become a desolate city, and the lord of the city was nowhere to be seen. Chaos ran rampant within the city walls.

All major chambers of commerce were practically shut down, and even some influential clans moved their entire families. When Qin Sang arrived at the Wuxing Alliance's headquarters, he found that the alliance had withdrawn all its personnel, leaving only a talisman inscribed with a message explaining the situation.

Qin Sang frowned, these forces were so pessimistic about the upcoming situation Could there be unknown changes happening

“This is the proof of purchase I specially bought while concealing my identity. After crushing it, the Beast Taming Pavilion will send someone to pick you up and take you to Yincheng for safety. Wait for my message there.”

Qin Sang changed his appearance, took out a jade talisman engraved with a spirit eagle and crushed it. Then he took out several spirit talismans and handed them to Gu Ya, "These are lightning talismans I made myself. With these talismans protecting you, almost no cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can threaten you. They can help you cultivate safely."

“Senior, aren't you going with the juniors Can I stay and help you” Gu Ya saw Qin Sang’s actions as if making last wishes, and a deep unease rose in her heart.

Just when I finally met a senior who ascended from the mortal realm, is something else going to happen

Qin Sang shook her head, "This is just in case. There are undercurrents swirling within Fengjuyu Men. If something dangerous happens, I might not be able to protect you. You should wait patiently in Yincheng. Even if something does happen at Fengjuyu Men, I'll commission someone else to find you."

"But..."

Gu Ya opened her mouth to speak, but seeing Qin Sang's resolute expression, she dared not say much. She could only silently accept the thunder talisman.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After waiting for a while, the person from Yu Beast Zhai finally arrived.

"Recently, business at the Beastmaster Pavilion has been booming, hasn't it" Qin Sang looked at this cultivator who claimed to be in charge of the Beastmaster Pavilion and asked.

The attendant, Chunfeng, had a spring in his step and a smile on his face as he said, "Master Benzai has some influence throughout the areas of Duizhou. Even large factions and major sects would hire Master Benzai's people to lead the way. Though I have brought all the nearby personnel here, it is still a bit tight..."

When things went awry, it was the opportune moment for Yu Shou Zhai to make a fortune.

"The chaos at Yu Men Pass is beyond compare, everyone fleeing. Could it really be caused by a great power battling outside the city" Qin Sang pressed.

"This... as a junior with little power and low status, I am unaware of the details. But based on my observations, most people are just following the crowd. Those who remain in the city are seeking stability; those who dared to take risks have already entered Fengju Yumen. The powerful magical battle has shaken everyone's hearts, so it is understandable that they leave the city for safety," said the steward.

Qin Sang secretly nodded. The city was in chaos, and no one came out to take charge. It was very likely that the strong people from Yu Men Pass had all entered Feng Ju Yu Men.

“As a junior from humble beginnings, she must be safely escorted to Yincheng,” Qin Sang instructed Gu Ya and the steward to follow.

The attendant bowed and replied, "Senior rest assured, this humble abode will not disappoint your entrustment. There is also a group of fellow cultivators heading to Yincheng, who would be happy to travel together. Fellow Daoist Gu, please."

After bidding farewell to Guya, Qin Sang returned to Fengju Yumeng and met with the Xin family.

As soon as Qin Sang saw the Xin family, he felt that the atmosphere was different. Several cultivators from the Xin family had smiles on their faces, and the previous depression had vanished.

Even Lian Pei's expression softened considerably, not as gloomy as before. However, when he saw Qin Sang, his eyes turned cold.

"Found it"

Qin Sang looked at Luan Che.

It goes without saying that there's only one way the Xin family could turn their worries into joy.

Luo, the steward, leaped forward and said repeatedly, "Reporting to Elder Qin, Xin Kui and the others' talisman fires have shown anomalies, but we can't be completely certain. We need the young master to go there personally to confirm."

"After searching for nearly eight years, I finally found it. It wasn't easy. Looks like you all have been waiting for me. Well, then, let's go."

>

Qin Sang flashed onto the Luan carriage and sat cross-legged behind the jade table.

The luán chē lightly trembled, leaving a trail of meteor-like tracks in the void. Its breath gradually converged, flying silently through the air.

Being able to see all kinds of magical visions glide past, Qin Sang gazed for a moment before turning to the quiet chamber. "Exactly what does Old Master need to refine Now that Young Master Xin is here, can he tell me"

Behind the curtain, Xin Shaozhu slightly bowed. "As long as we confirm the location, we'll be able to find it soon. We will inform Elder Qin at that time, please ask Elder Qin to rest assured."

Pei Gongfeng let out a chuckle, “Elder Qin doesn't even have this much patience Pei has been fooled and deceived by them for many years.”

This statement sounds like a satire of Qin Sang, yet also like a wake-up call to him.

Qin Sang's heart moved. Xin Shaozhu's actions were indeed very strange.

Lord Xin is definitely not stupid, it's possible to have him come and serve as a check against Master Pei. However, Qin Sang doesn't quite believe Lord Xin would dare to be detrimental to both of them at the same time.

A cultivator who has transcended the mortal realm wouldn't be so easily tricked, let alone by two people conspiring together. Aren't they afraid of burning themselves

However, Prefect Pei was not a magnanimous person. Being able to endure the Xin family for so long suggests either that the Xin family possesses means to intimidate him or that there are enormous benefits behind the scenes that make him willing to endure it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even if Qin Sang didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, he habitually analyzed these people's words and deeds, just in case.

Just as Qin Sang was lost in thought, silence returned to the Luan carriage. After a while of traveling, they finally found the remaining Xin family cultivators.

"See the young master!"

Xīn family cultivators all stepped forward to pay respects.

The cultivator named Xin Kui stepped forward, pointing to a cluster of multicolored lights. "Young Master, please see, the fluctuations in the fire runes were first observed near there. The source of the anomaly originated from within that strange light. Due to the uncertainty of potential dangers inside, we dare not act without your orders, Young Master."

Xin Shaozhu hummed in response, taking out a yellow talisman and manipulating the luan car to approach the strange light.

'Bang!'

Behind the curtain, a crimson flame flickered and gradually revealed a touch of green.

Everyone watched the curtain nervously, only to hear Shao Zhu Xin let out a long sigh of relief, his voice tinged with excitement: "This is it!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers erupted.

"Elder Qin, Senior Pei, please wait here for a moment. This junior will go and bring the other Xin family cultivators over. Luo Bo, you stay behind and lead Xin Kui and the others to scout ahead..."

Lord Xin acted swiftly and decisively, immediately making all the necessary arrangements. He then took his chariot and soared through the air.

The Luo Guan household devised a strategy, deploying troops and dividing the cultivators of the Xin family into several squads. They formed battle formations, summoning their respective treasures, and cautiously probing the strange light with measured steps.

Qin Sang and Pei Gong were idle, with no intention of intervening. They stood aside and watched the actions of the cultivators from the Xin family.

“These lights don't seem too dangerous. Elder Qin, why not make a move and spare us this time waste” Pei Gong said through voice transmission.

"Qin Ce is an outsider. It should be Pei Fenggong who makes the move, shouldn't it Besides, Qin Ce only agreed to forge weapons for Young Master Xin. Other matters have nothing to do with me," Qin Sang said calmly, unmoved.

"Is that so"

Pei Gongfeng said meaningfully, "When Qin Daoyou sees the secrets of the Xin family, I wonder if he will be as indifferent as he is now"

"Oh Qin is curious. What secret is it that warrants the Xin family's mobilization It seems Pei Gongfeng knows well, could it be a vast treasure trove If there are rare gemstones and precious flora, Qin would certainly be unable to contain himself and would have to ask Young Master Xin for a piece," Qin Sang looked at Pei Gongfeng with interest.

“Pei was just guessing! Elder Qin just experienced it himself, this young master of the Xin family is very tight-lipped.”

Pei Gongfeng's eyes flashed, and he chuckled.

He was suspicious. Could Elder Qin really be ignorant of everything, simply invited here to refine weapons

As for Pei Fenggong's suspicion, Qin Sang could also guess a few points, but he didn't say much. This is the situation that Xin Shaozu deliberately created, right Pei Fenggong has already regarded himself as an opponent. In this case, explanations are useless, ears hear as false, eyes see as true.

As they gradually ventured deeper into the glowing light, Master Xin also brought back the others. After everyone had arrived, they took turns forming battle formations to clear the path, which made their speed increase by a few points.

At first, they were just scattered glimmers of light, intertwined and a jumble of colors. As they ventured deeper, the glimmers gradually solidified, their colors becoming increasingly pure.

Beams of light, big and small, could be seen shooting out from within. They were numerous, some harmless, others hinting at danger, a single spark capable of igniting the whole.

Continuing forward for a while, Qin Sang seemed to sense something, his expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Pei Gongfeng. He saw that Pei Gongfeng was calm and composed.

Meanwhile, a sudden commotion erupted ahead.

At the very front of the battlefield, a Nascent Soul cultivator named Xin Kui led the way. This man wore a jade crown atop his head, which radiated a flowing, colorful light and possessed a protective aura that repeatedly saved him from danger.

Just moments ago, Xin Kui used his jade crown to unleash several beams of light. Without any warning, a bloody flower erupted on his left shoulder, revealing a gaping wound.

Something pierced through his shoulder, leaving only a hollow. The crowd was shocked and hadn't even had time to react when Sin Kui's abdomen was pierced again.

"Invisible light! Retreat quickly!" Xin Shaozhu shouted.

Xin Kui didn't hesitate and immediately retreated.

Along with He and Xin Kui, two Yuan Ying cultivators closest to him were also caught in the crossfire. One of them was unfortunately pierced through a vital point.

With Xin Kui's cultivation, two small wounds were enough to make him sweat profusely, enduring unimaginable pain. The person who was pierced through the vital point shuddered violently, their breath rapidly fading away.

Luo the butler flashed forward, taking out a jade bottle and stuffing all the pills inside into the man's mouth. "Quickly circulate your energy and regulate your breath!"

This person summoned the last of their strength, crossed their legs in meditation, and though their expression still twitched occasionally, they managed to save their life.

>

"Whew! Such mysterious and furious power!"

Xin Kui forced out the last vestiges of power from his wound, his heart pounding with lingering fear.

The Xin family came to a halt, deliberated for a while before continuing their journey. However, after walking for a while, people started getting seriously injured one after another. It was only thanks to Luo Guanjia's timely treatment that the situation was somewhat contained.

Please note that the original content was empty. The translation is also empty.

Danger lurks unseen, intertwined with a myriad of iridescent hues, making it impossible to guard against. At this rate, before we find a way out, the Xin family cultivators will all be lost in this realm of light.

Facing this situation, Xin Shao-zhu had to make a decision and said in a deep voice: “All Yuan Ying cultivators, retreat!”

“This...”

Luo Butler's eyes flickered with hesitation, and he couldn't help but look back.

At the rear of the procession, Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng moved in perfect harmony, one on each side, leisurely following along, waiting for them to clear the way.

Luo the Butler believed that any one person stepping in could easily solve the current difficulties. However, both of them showed no intention of helping and watched helplessly as the Xin family fell into crisis.

For this purpose, the Xin family specially refined a formation chart. Xin family cultivators worked together to set up the formation and simultaneously practiced their family techniques, which could unleash several fierce attacks. While they couldn't possibly kill a cultivator at the Refining Void stage, it was the reason they dared to confront Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng.

The large-scale deployment requires these nascent soul cultivators, they are indispensable. Once they are recalled, the manpower will be significantly reduced, equivalent to not finding the target, the Xin family will suffer a loss of a trump card first.

Because once a battle formation is deployed, it cannot be retracted, and it is an attacking formation, it cannot be used here.

Perhaps these two people saw something and intentionally weakened the Xin family's power.

In the face of a strong person, the weak are powerless, sometimes even without the strong person having to do anything.

Luocui the butler opened his mouth, full of helplessness, "You wait outside, don't let your guard down."

"Yes!"

>

All the Nascent Soul cultivators retreated, leaving only the Divine Transformation cultivator of the Xin family.

Then, some of the Nascent Soul cultivators also began to get injured. For example, Xin Kui's injuries were too severe, and he was forced to go out for healing.

The remaining members of the Xin family grew fewer and fewer, each with a solemn expression, no longer showing the excitement they once had.

Qin Sang had been silently observing these strange lights, when suddenly the Chariot in front of him stopped.

Along the way, the carriage shrank time and time again. Now it was just a small, quiet chamber; surely there was no further use for it.

A jade hand lifted the curtain, and Master Xin walked down from the carriage slowly.

Qin Sang first saw Xin Shaozhu's true face, curiously looking over. Seeing that Xin Shaozhu was petite and graceful, like a girl of eighteen or nineteen, with half her veil covering her face, the exposed skin was as fine as condensed fat, and her eyes were like a pool of autumn water. It could be seen that both her temperament and appearance were top-notch.

Pei Gongfeng saw Xin Shao, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Please: m.lvsewxthe immortal officials of Dao Court also arrived, and their strength was comparable to those demon cultivators, there would be a major upheaval in this battle!Let me know if you have any other text yo...
