Chapter 490: The Gatekeeper

Youluo Yun, Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly. He had been planning to buy a similar artifact to replace his Feitian Shuttle. He had seen several over these past few days, but none were satisfac...The spirit formations in the Peach Blossom Haze have countless variations, but as long as you know the rules, they aren't difficult to break.

However, Qin Sang was also not too reckless. He cautiously approached the center of Taohua Zhand, for fear that Daoist Qiru had left other traps to expose his whereabouts.

Entering the Peach Blossom Swamps, Qin Sang only felt that these peach trees were each gnashing their teeth and brandishing their claws, ferocious and menacing, completely unlike their beautiful appearance. They looked like evil spirits, a kind of vicious tree, totally different from the red jade peaches of Shao Hua Mountain.

The buildings in Taohua Zang were becoming clearer. It was a simple stone house, square and without any luxury.

The moment Qin Sang saw the stone hall, his figure suddenly stopped. He activated the "Escape Spirit Technique" to its limit, swiftly ducking behind a peach tree and frowning at what lay ahead.

At the entrance of the stone house, a person was sitting cross-legged at this time.

This man was about fifty years old. He wore a gray robe, the hem embroidered with patterns of black flames. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his back to the stone house, his eyes half-closed, his breath steady.

He probably didn't expect someone to be able to sneak in so quietly, without any disguise, with his cultivation at the level of a fake dan realm exposed for all to see.

"Was it him"

Seeing this person's appearance, Qin Sang immediately remembered his identity. He was Mo Yan, one of the Four Demon Flame Envoys of the Mo Yan Sect, a remnant of the Kui Yin Sect, whose original name was Huang Shizhong.

From then on, Qiupao Daoist's four Great Flame Emissaries, Qin Sang had met all of them, two of whom had already fallen to his hand.

Another was captured alive by Qin Sang in the waters of Luan Island, but his cultivation was only at the late stage of foundation building. Qin Sang didn't want to waste a precious Heavenly Corpse Talisman on him. After capturing the Huangjia person, he killed him and made him into a corpse puppet.

Huang Shizhong is now in Taohua Zang, sitting motionless before a stone house. He isn't meditating to cultivate, but rather seems like he's guarding the entrance.

Only the robe-wearing Daoist, Qiu Pao, is qualified to guard the gate for Huang Shizhong!

It looks like the Qìpao Daoist should be inside.

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, she had come to the right place!

His gaze swept past the yellow talisman, landing on the stone house behind him. The stone door was tightly shut, with runes carved onto the bluestone, a flickering glow of enchantment emanating from them.

Through the restriction, it is impossible to detect the interior of the stone house.

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

Qin Sang stared intently, discovering that the restrictions on the stone house were incredibly intricate. If he tried to break them himself, it would take considerable effort, but for Feitian Yacha, it wouldn't pose much of a challenge.

Where did Ji Wu go

Qin Sang looked around, but found no trace of others.

Only two of the Four Great Fiends remain, Huang Shizhong has been summoned to guard the gate, and Ji Wu couldn't possibly be absent. His status is higher than Huang Shizhong's.

The Qiapao Taoist highly valued Jiwu and treated him as his heir apparent, meticulously cultivating him. Qin Sang learned from the captured Demonflame Envoy that Jiwu was even more favored than Yin Yan.

Could Jiwu be inside the stone house

Qin Sang hid behind a tree, patiently waiting for an hour, but still saw no sign of Ji Wu. There was no movement inside the stone house.

I can't wait any longer!

Qin Sang secretly thought that perhaps the Qiu Pao Taoist was in a crucial moment. The longer it dragged on, the greater the variables would become. He couldn't afford to wait any longer and had to act immediately.

To kill the Qiapao Taoist, one must first deal with Huang Shizhong. Otherwise, with the Qiapao Taoist at the Jindan stage plus two fake Danjing masters, he would only be able to flee for his life.

Qin Sang retracted his gaze, pondering inwardly. The foremost priority was the Qiupao Daoist, so he didn't want any distractions and had no intention of capturing Huang Shizhong alive.

He was contemplating how to eliminate Huang Shizhong with swift and decisive action before the Qipu Daoist discovered his plan, thus eliminating one opponent.

It would be best if we could kill Huang Shizhong without alerting Taoist Qipu.

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

With a turn of her thoughts, Qin Sang had a plan in mind.

At Huang Shizhong's stillness during meditation, one might mistake him for a statue.

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

Peach Blossom Swamp is a highly poisonous substance. Birds and beasts dare not enter the valley, and even within ten miles of the valley, it is a forbidden zone for life.

That's why it was unusually quiet here, and any slight sound could be easily detected by Huang Shizhong.

Just then, Huang Shichong seemed to hear something. His ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring intently at a peach tree not far away.

But I saw that on the peach tree, a branch trembled slightly, as if disturbed by the wind, and several petals of peach blossoms slowly drifted down.

Is it just a hallucination

Huang Shih-chung's eyes held a hint of doubt as he discovered that aside from the petals, there was nothing else amiss. This included the spirit formation within the Peach Blossom Mist, which remained unchanged.

He shook his head slightly, his mind had just relaxed a little, when he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from his left side, and his face instantly changed!

His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a black figure, moving with astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it was right beside him.

Someone!

Huang Shih-chung was greatly startled. He wasn't imagining things; there were indeed intruders.

The other party actually silently passed through the spirit array and poison miasma, approaching themselves, and already so close! They only just realized it now!

Huang Shizhong, experienced and seasoned, though startled, reacted swiftly and correctly. Instead of fleeing, he first twisted his upper body to face the attacker head-on, clenching both fists in preparation for a counterattack.

Having seen the masked flying demon with his own eyes, Huang Zhong's heart sank. The flying demon's strength was terrifying, shocking Huang Zhong to the core. He knew deep down that he was no match for him and opened his mouth to call out to Daoist Qiupao.

“Hee hee...”

Huang Shizhong's mouth opened, and suddenly he felt a chill in his chest. His whole body went limp, and he couldn't utter a sound. At the same time, his throat was in agonizing pain, as if being gripped by ghostly claws around his neck.

He reluctantly lowered his head, peering through the ghostly claws. He saw a jade-like sword tip protruding from his chest. He had countered the attacking Sky Demon but hadn't expected another enemy lurking in the shadows, one with such a sharp flying sword.

His own robes were pierced with such ease.

The chaotic sword energy surged into Huang Shizhong's body, wreaking havoc and destroying everything in its path. It didn't just take away his strength, but also his life force. The light in Huang Shizhong's eyes quickly dimmed as despair set in.

died of suffocation.

At this time, Qin Sang, also wearing a mask, appeared beside Huang Zhong. He commanded the Flying Sky Yaksha to stop and gently supported Huang Zhong's corpse.

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

This assassination, seeming simple at first glance, was actually very mentally taxing. Every timing needed to be controlled meticulously, otherwise it would give Huang Shih Chung a chance to call for help.

Qin Sang pressed on Huang Shihzhong's wound, preventing the smell of blood from spreading, and thought to himself, "You died under the attack of the Flying Sky Demon and its magical treasure. It was a fitting end."

Simply toss Huang Zhong's corpse into the Corpse Puppet Bag. Qin Sang and Feitian Yaksha stood side by side, looking at the stone house door.

Huang Shizhong is dead.

There was no reaction from inside the stone house. It seemed as if Qipu Daoist hadn't noticed anything at all.

Qin Sang didn't care whether the Qiapao Daoist had any ulterior motives. Having reached this point, there was no turning back. He ordered the Flying Sky Asura to advance while quickly taking out the Ten Directions Yama Banner and raising the ten ghost flags.

When the formation was first complete, Qin Sang glanced at the Flying Sky Asura.
