than the Earthly Demon Lines. As far as this old Daoist knows, in the entire Xiaohan Domain, there are only two places where Sky-Drying Celestial Martial Artists exist! One is the Qingyang Demon Sect...."I'll go and stall him. We'll make a decision when the Grand Elder returns."
Elder Lan pondered for a moment.
After a pause, he explained a few more things.
“That person had several opportunities to kill Shi Xue, but he didn't. He must have guessed why we intercepted him – we wanted to capture him alive and find out the origin of the sacred artifact.”
>
Although he was frightened away by the Demon Elder in the end, it was clear that he had shown leniency. This indicates that unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to create a mortal feud with the Profound Heaven Palace. At least, unlike the practitioners of the demonic path, his actions were not reckless and without consideration.
"His cultivation base is only at the Nascent Soul mid-stage. As long as he understands that the seal cannot be opened, keeping it in his hands does him more harm than good. He might even take the initiative to contact us, for nothing more than a deal."
Unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to cooperate with the demonic old man. It's best not to provoke such a top-tier powerhouse. Not only will you be used by the demonic old man to deal with your enemies, but you might also invite disaster into your own home.
Of course, you could feign an alliance with the old demon and create a show of force to pressure him. However, be wary of being turned against by the old demon himself. The line here is very difficult to tread, and this is a major matter that requires the Grand Elder's decision.
>
When it comes to sacred objects, one must be careful not to make a blunder.
Observing the battle between the Demonic Elder and Qin Sang, Elder Lan saw that there was no room for him to remain uninvolved. He quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, considering all possible developments and weighing the pros and cons.
It was mainly Qin Sang's parting words that lingered in Elder Lan's mind. On the surface, they were a warning, but Elder Lan sensed a deeper meaning beneath them.
Elder Mei nodded, agreeing with Elder Lan's idea.
Before this, the holy relics disappeared, and what worried them most was that traitors would succeed. They dared to cooperate with the demonic old man out of desperation.

Now that it's confirmed the relic is not on the traitor, nor in the hands of the Nine-Headed Saint, there's no need to worry about the seal being broken or the relic being lost in the short term. They can completely afford to make their arrangements with composure.

They always remained wary of the old man who dabbled in sorcery.

Cooperation before the Grand Arcane Convocation was already risky. During the recent battle, the Mad Mage lurked unseen nearby, clearly plotting something sinister.
Elder Mei glanced back and signaled, summoning all the Yuan Ying and members of the Enforcement Hall.
Elder Lan pondered his words, steeled himself, and took a few steps forward, meeting the Demon-Obsessed Elder.
As night fell.

On the placid sea, a deserted island stood quietly.
A somewhat illusory figure suddenly appeared on the coast, looking around before dashing into the forest. It moved through the trees without disturbing any beasts or insects.
Without a sound, this figure stopped in front of an ancient tree with a trunk several dozen people could embrace. He waved out a series of spirit flags, plunging them into the ground. With the ancient tree and the figure, they vanished into thin air.
"Whew…"
Qin Sang entered the tree hole, sat cross-legged, and let out a long sigh.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After getting rid of the old man who was possessed by demons, Qin Sang did not go to Danding Mountain, but changed direction and flew for a while before finding this inconspicuous deserted island.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
“I’ll be gone for a while. Master Yinquan probably hasn’t left yet, ask them to stay for another day.”
Qin Sang murmured a word.
Immediately, Qin Sang recalled the ending of the chase just now, a wry smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect that the Old Demon would be startled away by Tianpeng Da Sheng in the end. Using the Lei Dun technique requires relying on the Tian Yao Transformation, and when flying at full power, it is impossible to distract oneself from concealing one's demonic aura. Perhaps Tianpeng Da Sheng was attracted by the demonic aura. As I expected, the more chaotic the situation, the more advantageous it would be for me, but this is too chaotic. Indeed, plans can't keep up with changes..."
Qin Sang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He closed his eyes, trying to recall the details of the chaotic fight.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
According to the original plan, we will try to see if Xuan Tian Gong can sense the mysterious ice box and the range of its sensing. Even if the goal is achieved.
>
Upon discovering that the Heavenly Mystery Palace's dispatched personnel were not strong enough, Qin Sang considered capturing the woman in green. Unexpectedly, this led to a series of unforeseen events.
>
“That’s not right! The way the Demon-Conjuring Elder and Xuan Tian Palace behaved doesn't seem like they are sworn enemies.”
Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a strange light, flickering unpredictably.
If as rumors say, the digital infant was slaughtered by the Demon Slayer Old Man, even with Xuan Tian Palace's vast tolerance, they shouldn't be reacting like this.
Moreover, Xuan Tian Gong's Yuanying clearly occupied each side, encircling the Devil Island. Such a high-profile act, dispersing their forces, is clearly wanting to die faster.
Qin Sang flipped his palm, taking out a mysterious ice box and holding it in his hand.
He can't open the seal doesn't mean that traitor is incapable.
After staring for a long time, Qin Sang pondered deeply and murmured in a low voice: “The Xuan Tian Palace is worried that the seal will be broken, and they joined hands with the Demon-corrupting Elder to set a trap, promoting the Wan Mo Conference ahead of schedule to lure out traitors But how can they ensure that the Demon-corrupting Elder doesn't develop greed”
...
Qin Sang tapped the ice coffin lightly with his fingers, "Unless there is a powerful expert that even the demon-cursing elder fears, or the Palace Master of Xuan Tian Palace arrives in person, or there's still a mysterious master hidden. For some reason, that person has never shown up."
He thinks this is the most reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, if the old demon gives birth to evil thoughts, these people will find it difficult to restrain him.
>
"The Xuan Tian Palace has deep foundations. Besides the Palace Master, there are also unknown masters from the outside world. My plan and choice were both correct; it was the intelligence error that caused the problem. It forced me to confront the Demon-Tamed Elder head-on, using demonic fire to fight him. I lured him into the Illusory Formation, thus exposing my identity."
>
Qin Sang sighed, but he wasn't afraid.
This battle forced the Demon Elder to use his shape-shifting technique, which was a considerable gain. It prevented future encounters where the Demon Elder could use this technique to outmaneuver us, causing greater losses.
The question now is, how deep is the cooperation between Xuan Tian Gong and the Mixed Demon Elder, and whether they will continue to join forces to hunt him down.
>
One by one scenes flashed through Qin Sang's mind.
That was not feigned astonishment and apprehension on the faces of Xuan Tian Gong's people when the demonic old man appeared.
"Everyone has their own ulterior motives!"
Qin Sang let out a low chuckle, looking at the mysterious ice box with a relaxed expression.
Then, he spread open his other palm, and in the center lay the ice bead that Chen Yan had secretly sent him.
>
At that time, under such circumstances, Chenyan actually took the initiative to communicate with him, proposing a private meeting and even offering an ice bead. The purpose of this ice bead was surprisingly able to temporarily suppress the fluctuations of the mysterious ice box.
Place the ice beads and the mysterious ice box together.
Qin Sang hesitated, wondering if when he retreated, Chen Yan might not have been completely helpless, perhaps letting him go. Of course, if he insisted on capturing the woman in green, Chen Yan would definitely intervene.
He couldn't fathom Chenyan's intentions, nor did he believe that their past entanglements could have driven her to this point.
“Could she also be planning to steal from home, coveting the treasures in the mysterious ice box”
Qin Sang thought of a possibility, feeling a little sorry for Xuantian Palace.
On second thought, before Yuan Ying, Chen Yan had been practicing in Shaohua Mountain. After forming the Nascent Soul, she returned to Xuantian Palace, so she probably didn't have much affection for her sect.
> I wonder what conditions she could possibly come up with
Qin Sang pondered for a moment. No matter what Chen Yan's intentions were, she decided to wait and see, hoping to learn through her questions what was sealed inside.
Activate your true essence, envelop the ice bead, carefully sense it, and make sure there's nothing wrong.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, he set up several layers of isolation barriers around the area before activating the power within the ice bead.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The ice beads melted, becoming a cloud of white vapor.
The next moment, Qin Sang felt a surge of icy energy released. In an instant, the true essence that came into contact with the ice beads seemed to freeze, leaving him astonished.
With utmost care, drawing a sliver of arctic chill, it approached the enigmatic ice chest.
Finally, Qin Sang confirmed that this breath would not cause the seal to change, and then continued with the next steps.
'Whew!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A white mist enveloped the mysterious ice box, wisps of breath seeping into the seal.
Throughout this process, Qin Sang always kept his attention on the mysterious ice box.
The white mist emitted a special kind of fluctuation. Under the influence of the white mist, the seal underwent changes Qin Sang had never seen before, with a feeling that the seal was gradually solidifying.
This is something Qin Sang tried countless methods to do but failed.
Finally, the white mist on the surface of the mysterious ice box disappeared, and there was no obvious change in itself.
>
Qin Sang concentrated, sensing the impact of the white qi. He vaguely perceived the special location of the seal and confirmed that the ice bead could suppress it, but he couldn't replicate this unique treasure, nor did he know how to do so.
Suppression was not complete. If someone from Xuantian Palace came to the entrance of the tree hole, they could still sense the mysterious ice box, but the range was limited and the impact was not significant.
Besides, the seal has been constantly resisting. When the power of the ice beads is exhausted, it will recover.
Held in the hand, flipped through many times.

Qin Sang put the mysterious ice box into his Qianjun Ring and took out the spirit pills and spirit stones to restore his energy.
>
After a short while, Qin Sang flew out of the deserted island, identified his direction, and disappeared into the sky.
To the southwest of Demon Island lies a group of islands.
Dozens of islands, big and small, are scattered throughout these waters.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The islands surrounding the area were devoid of spiritual energy, so only mortals lived there. Mortals occupied several of the larger islands, where many city walls stood, making them quite prosperous.
Qin Sang quietly appeared above a city, holding the Dan Ding Order in his hand, observed for a while, and quietly infiltrated the city. He came to a storefront.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
He had just landed when the door opened silently, and the voice of the Immortal Guqin rang out, "Please come in, Daoist Qin!"
Qin Sang paused for a moment, then stepped inside.
"Is this also your sect's industry Your friend's move wouldn't be on this island, would it"
Qin Sang looked around and saw the incoming Yin Quan Zhenren.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“The Dan Ding Sect’s foundation in the boundless sea is weak, and it’s inconvenient to be ostentatious. Ordinary people are easy to hide, sometimes more useful than cultivators. The true arrangement isn't here to avoid harming innocent people. Since I haven't received a warning from Daoist Qin, by the agreed time, this poor Daoist will lead people back,” said Master Yinquan.”
While speaking, the esteemed Master Yinquan gave Qin Sang a look. "Has Daoist Qin encountered anything"
Qin Sang remained composed and asked back, "It seems like the Real Person has something to say"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When the real person, Yin Quan, saw that Qin Sang's breath was full and unharmed, he nodded secretly and said frankly: "Just now I got a message that a mysterious expert, for some unknown reason, offended the old man of demons, and was chased for thousands of miles, but successfully escaped. The poor Taoist was still thinking, would this mysterious expert be Daoist Qin. Fellow Daoist Luan and the others haven't left yet, they want to meet Daoist Qin. The poor Taoist thinks that if it were indeed Daoist Qin who did it, he probably wouldn't want to see outsiders at this time, so I arranged them elsewhere."
Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
The Dan Ding Hui was well-connected and had only heard about the pursuit.
He acted against the Xuan Tian Gong, even using an illusionary formation to trap the Mixed Demon Elder. Time-wise, it wasn't very long. People who saw the whole thing and knew what happened are likely few in number.
What really caused a stir was the subsequent pursuit.
It all depends on whether Xuan Tian Gong and the Demon-Confounding Old Man will proactively spread it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Even with all my abilities, I wouldn't dare provoke that old demon. If you ever find out the identity of that expert in the future, don't forget to introduce me," Qin Sang shook his head and chuckled.
"Indeed, it seems I've overthought things," the Grandmaster of Poetry chuckled.
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, Qin Sang stopped speaking and took out the jade slip containing ancient prescriptions.
"This…"
When the real person of Yinquan saw the reward far exceeding the agreed-upon amount, he looked at Qin Sang in surprise.
Qin Sang said, "Qin has one more deal to complete, and I would like to ask the True Person to stay for another day. It's still according to the previous agreement. The remaining ancient prescriptions are this time's reward. If the True Person and Luan Daoist friend need to make a move, there will be further rewards! Just rest assured, the people who do business with Qin are not demonic old men."
Yinquan Zhenren hesitated for a moment, grasped the jade slip, and said, “Alright, this poor Daoist was about to play a game of Go with Luan Daoyou all night. We didn’t finish our match just now.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang didn't expect that Yin Quan, the real person, had already suspected him and agreed so readily.
Could the headmaster of Dan Ding Mountain be nearby
Or perhaps they are confident enough in their own arrangements.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After a while of conversing with the immortal Yinquan, Qin Sang bid farewell and left.
Southeast of the Devil's Island lies a landmass not controlled by the Devil Elder, where cultivators reside in a large city.

The glass plate sat in a quiet room, her eyes closed, still as a virgin.
In the silent room, a chill permeated the air, yet her face flushed crimson, her eyelids fluttering as if enduring some pain. It took a while for her to gradually return to normal.
At this moment, the stillness enchantment was triggered, and Liuli woke up from her meditation. She saw her senior sister walking in.
Shi Xue saw Liuli's inquiring gaze and, knowing her fellow disciple was always taciturn, snorted coldly: "Several elders have decided not to split the forces for now, lest we repeat past mistakes. We will first feign compliance with the Demon-Tamer Elder and wait for the Grand Elder's return before making a final decision. They say that fellow has always shown leniency towards my people, leaving room for maneuver. How come I didn't feel it! My Winter Seal, my two most treasured defensive artifacts... according to them, I should thank him"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
Shi Xueyue grew increasingly angry, her willow brows furrowed.
Liuli was silent for a moment before saying, "The sect will compensate us."
“I hope the High Elder can give me an outlet for my anger!”
Shi Xue lowered her head, knowing she couldn't seek revenge on her own. She sighed helplessly.
She raised her eyes, looking at Liuli. After a moment's hesitation, she closed the meditation chamber and sealed it with an acoustic barrier. "Junior sister, is there anything you want to say to me"
A wisp of morning smoke startled him.
Shi Xue stared into her eyes, earnestly saying, "Junior Sister, you may be able to deceive others, but not me. Your Bing Po Divine Light is about to be perfected, it's impossible for it to collapse so easily!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At dawn, the smoke of incense hung silent. Shi Xue suddenly raised her voice, "I know you cultivated the Ice Soul Divine Light to use it to seal your emotions, severing emotional ties and solidifying your Dao heart! Only when the Dao heart experiences violent fluctuations and its foundation is shaken will the Ice Soul Divine Light collapse! Before seeing my junior sister, I always thought that love between men and women was nothing more than a shackle imposed on oneself by short-sighted and misguided fools. Never did I think that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be troubled by love!"

“He…is that heartless man”
Shi Xue looked at Chen Yan with a face full of pity. Thinking of that hateful figure, she gritted her teeth, new hatred and old grievances surging up together.
