e 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 wipe...A streak of crimson light appeared in the eastern sky, racing towards them.

Another expert from Xuan Tian Gong is about to arrive.

Shi Xue fled westward, covering some distance in his escape. This caused him to arrive after Chen Yan.

However, Qin Sang's attention wasn't on this person.

This person is not yet worthy of Qin Sang's vigilance.

Qin Sang was on guard, and two figures silently arrived on the sea surface to the north.

There, the surface of the water was vast and rippled with the aftereffects of the battle. However, the waves were no longer strong, unlike the towering waves at the center of the battlefield. Large chunks of black ice floated everywhere.

Including Elder Meilan, none of them had discovered those two people.

“Devil old man!”

Qin Sang's heart tightened.

The demonic fire armor on his body had completely subsided, lest it leak aura.

When he decided to strike after discovering an ambush, he had already mentally calculated the situation and all possible future developments at lightning speed.

This place is farther from the Demon Slayer Island, and Qin Sang's illusion formation is just ahead.

The Demonic Elder is unlike the Xuan Tian Gong, who could preemptively lock onto Qin Sang's route. If the battle just started and alerted the Demonic Elder, he would need time to arrive from Demon Island.

Seeing that Shi Xue had so many unexpected life-saving measures, and that Elder Mei and Elder Lan arrived just in time, Qin Sang didn't choose to flee first or propose a deal. Instead, he focused on capturing Shi Xue for two reasons.

Firstly, no one in Xuan Tian Palace posed a threat to him. The Palace Master was indeed absent. Even without using the Illusion Array, Qin Sang could easily get rid of them.

Secondly, the time has not yet exceeded his preset deadline.

Of course, this decision was definitely made based on the changing circumstances and after considering all sorts of unforeseen situations.

Unexpectedly, accidents always happen.

The Demon-Slaying Elder arrived much sooner than expected, but fortunately Qin Sang had never relaxed his vigilance.

Qin Sang suspected that the Demonic Elder was probably attracted by Xuan Tian Palace. He secretly cursed these fellows for being so careless after slaughtering so many people at Huanglong Shi's residence.

He was unaware of the full story and his deductions, based on faulty reasoning, nevertheless arrived at a conclusion that coincidentally aligned with the truth.

"We must leave this place immediately!"

Qin Sang made a decisive decision.

Regardless of who the old demon master is here for, he must leave immediately.

Qin Sang knew that the Mad Demon Elder and Xuantian Palace had a grudge, but he wouldn't be naive enough to try and use this to his advantage, provoking a conflict between them for personal gain.

Even if the old demon couldn't see that he was the one who stole treasures from the Buddha Hall, once he guessed that there was a treasure coveted by the Xuan Tian Palace on him, the first choice would definitely be to keep the treasure first and then consider how to compete with the Xuan Tian Palace for it.

This is the lair of the Demon Elder, he has enough confidence.

If one were in Qin Sang's place, they would do the same thing.

At that time, Qin Sang will face Xuan Tian Gong and Hun Mo Lao, as well as other passing-by Yuan Ying who are attracted. Even with a backup plan, his situation will be quite dangerous.

His only choice was to make peace with the Xuan Tian Palace and agree to return the sacred artifact.

Such a forced trade is obviously not in his best interests.

In an instant, thoughts flashed past one after another.

Qin Sang gave up the idea of capturing Shi Xue because she would become a burden in this situation.

Qin Sang wasn't sure when the Mad Demon Elder had arrived or how long he had been observing.

When entering the Jing Hai Sect, the Demonic-Slaying Old Man must have seen the Golden Depths Sword.

Before attending the trading fair, Qin Sang had spent some time on Mingzhu Island and purchased some spiritual materials from Dan Ding Shan. He modified his Jin Chen Sword, but just like Tan Hao's Demonic Subduing Staff, it couldn't fundamentally alter its essence, and there was no guarantee that the Demon-Subduing Elder wouldn't see through it.

You must leave as soon as possible.

He didn't lose anything from this. His original plan was just to confirm if the Xuan Tian Palace could sense the mysterious ice box and capture Shi Xue. He happened to see her alone and saw an opportunity.

Qin Sang retracted his hand from the Corpse Puppet bag. As a cover, he took out a spirit pill from the Qianjun Ring and swallowed it, taking the opportunity to recover some true essence and cast his sword technique.

'Boom!'

The Golden Abyss Sword's blade shone brightly, its aura fluctuating unpredictably.

Between Qin Sang and Chen Yan, the seemingly tranquil void suddenly darkened, with countless sword threads faintly appearing. However, these sword threads were very stiff, not as flexible as before, seeming to be frozen by extreme cold.

At the same time, clusters of white mist bloomed there. This phenomenon indicated that the power of the Ice Soul Divine Light had erupted and was being blocked by the sword formation.

Qin Sang still vividly remembered the previous danger. Facing Chen Yan's strange divine ability, he was very cautious and immediately reactivated the sword formation without hesitation.

'Click click click...'

Countless tiny icicles were shattered by the sword formation, and the icy divine light was cut to pieces by the intangible.

To Qin Sang's surprise, the Golden Sinking Sword did not encounter as much resistance as he had expected.

"Is it all just for show"

Qin Sang looked at Chen Yan in surprise, finding that the ethereal blue light in her eyes was no longer clear, but rather scattered, even with signs of collapse.

>

Qin Sang was very clear that even if Chen Yan recognized him, it was impossible for her to let him go in this situation. First, she was eager to save people, and the woman in green clearly had a close relationship with her. Second, this divine ability was used by Qin Sang before Chen Yan recognized him.

The only explanation is that she can't use this magical ability consecutively. Forcing it, the power isn't comparable to the first time.

"Little sister, retreat quickly!"

Shi Xue also discovered Chen Yan's abnormality, her face full of anxiety, not wanting her junior sister to be implicated by herself.

Qin Sang took a long look at Chen Yan, urged his sword formation, and rolled the aftershock back towards Chen Yan.

Meanwhile.

Here is the translated text:

Qin Sang's heart felt a prickling pain, like needles piercing through it. Her consciousness sensed a gray-white bone needle locking onto her, silently stabbing towards her.

And, the sun-shaped ring in the sky transformed into a round moon, transitioning from dim to bright, growing increasingly dazzling with radiant brilliance.

Elder Mei and Elder Lan had finally calmed down.

They had no time to adjust or use other methods. Seeing the urgent situation, they still used the bone-piercing needles and sunshade circles they had previously summoned to force Qin Sang back and restrict him.

Qin Sang didn't look back, her phoenix wings flapping urgently behind her, transforming into a bolt of lightning as she surged forward.

The penetrating needle flew in with great speed, but Qin Sang chose a direction that was very clever. This maneuver happened to position Chen Yan between him and the piercing needle.

The morning mist was enveloped by a storm created by the aftershocks, leaving him helpless for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Elder Mei's face showed a slight surprise, and his palm clenched suddenly.

A single pass of the bone-piercing needle, its tip dancing, veered away from the morning smoke, thus missing the optimal moment.

But the attack on Qin Sang was not yet over.

Whoosh!

The sun shone brightly in the sky.

A beam of light descended from the sky, several times thicker than before.

This time, Elder Lan learned his lesson. He dispersed the power of the Douji circle and did not aim it at Qin Sang, but enveloped him, freezing the seawater into an ice cage!

Above the sea.

Icicles grew at a visible rate.

Internally, runes flow, clearly not an ordinary ice wall.

Although time is pressing and it's not yet fully formed, Qin Sang wants to break through the ice wall, he will also need to use other means, which will inevitably have an impact.

It can limit him for a moment, enough time for others to adjust.
