Both host and guest enjoy themselves.

The old man was in high spirits and smiled warmly at everyone.

As everyone left the dark passage, they found themselves not in the same stone house they had entered, but in a small alleyway. This showed just how careful the old man had been.

After exiting the alley, the crowd dispersed silently, each going their separate ways.

Although Qin Sang put on a powerful show in the secret city, he knew deep down that this wouldn't deter true masters. So he remained extremely cautious, wary of being targeted.

It was a moonless night.

Cultivators are also inevitably affected by the ordinary people's routine of working from sunrise to sunset. Unless necessary, they rarely move around at night and return to their rented stone houses for quiet cultivation.

A massive figure suddenly appeared in the dead-end alleyway, it was the masked strongman.

The strong man was acting in a way that belied his imposing physique. He was careful, taking small steps and looking back every third one. His eyes were unusually wary, like a frightened rat.

The alleyway leads straight to the outskirts of Shijima Island.

Having arrived safely at the edge of Shi Island, the strong man immediately activated his escape technique and blended into the night, quietly leaving the island.

Soon after the strong man left, the space at the end of the alleyway rippled, revealing a blurry figure that then flashed like a wisp of ghostly light and vanished.

But what this person did not expect was that while the mantis stalks the cicada, a yellow bird is waiting behind.

After he left, another person appeared in his place, it was Qin Sang. He looked at the deep swamp, pondered for a moment, and then used the You Luo Yun he had just obtained to leave silently.

After three waves of people in the alley, it finally returned to peace.

Outside the auction house, a sudden feeling of familiarity didn't really get Qin Sang's attention. After all, this feeling came abruptly and disappeared quickly.

But in the secret market just now, the true voice that the strong man suddenly revealed out of desperation brought back this sense of familiarity, awakening Qin Sang's extraordinarily distant memories from decades ago!

This voice, and the memory of it, aren't quite the same. After all this time, things change, people change.

Growing up or getting old.

However, for cultivators, this rate of change would be much slower than that of ordinary people.

Because of this, this person's voice, though filled with many vicissitudes and roughness, still retains a hint of its most genuine timbre. Qin Sang's familiarity stems precisely from this.

Scouring his past memories, Qin Sang suddenly remembered someone, a person he never would have thought of.

Tan Hao!

In You Shan Fang Market, he stood up for Qin Sang and argued back against the deceitful merchants, allowing him to buy the "Unyielding Sutra" with its accompanying spells at a low price.

Here is the translation:<

After joining the Quiyin Sect, Tan Hao spent his days meditating in seclusion and rarely appeared.

Qin Sang and his younger brother Tan Jie were close friends, but he was not very familiar with Tan Hao.

Thinking about Tan Hao, Qin Sang felt more and more that he resembled him. Tan Hao was very tall as a boy, in stark contrast to his younger brother. He must have become even more burly after adulthood.

But this made Qin Sang even more astonished, how could it possibly be him

The invasion of Yuanzhao Gate by the Kuiyin Sect failed, and the soldiers scattered. Tan Hao and Tan Jie were not sent to Yuanzhao Gate as undercover agents, nor were they chosen as sacrifices like Shi Rui.

When the Guiyin Sect was destroyed, no one restrained Yin Sha Yuan, and the Yuanguang Gate would not pursue these low-level disciples relentlessly. There was indeed a chance to escape.

But escaping doesn't mean survival, this is the vicious nature of the Quyin Sect and the Yanluo Banner.

Since they have already practiced with the Hell Banner, they only have two paths left.

One path is to strive diligently and cultivate to the tenth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, only to be devoured by Yama and become the soul master of the Yama Banner; the other path is to discover something amiss with the Yama Banner in advance and abandon cultivation to rebuild.

When the Quiyin Sect was destroyed, Tan Hao was already over twenty years old. With his talent, after dispersing his cultivation and rebuilding it, he once again became a wandering cultivator. The possibility of him establishing a foundation was close to zero.

Moreover, even if Tan Hao discovered the abnormality of the Yan Luo Banner, he might not be able to decisively give it up. The temptation of cultivating soul pills is not something everyone can resist.

If Sun De hadn't come to him, Qin Sang might still be unable to understand the mystery of the Yan Luo Banner.

Qin Sang originally thought that Tan Jie, Shi Rui and others were already dead. Suddenly, he discovered someone who looked like Tan Hao. Besides being surprised, he was also somewhat happy.

After entering the immortal path, he didn't have many friends. During his time at the Kui Yin Sect, he supported each other with Tan Jie and Shi Rui, and their friendship was quite good.

Though they had met again, Qin Sang did not immediately acknowledge his old friend.

First, he had already joined Shaohuashan at this time and absolutely could not expose his experience in Quiyin Sect. Even if he recognized friends, he had to put on a disguise.

On the other hand, after so many years, is Tan Hao still the same Tan Hao Has his disposition changed Is he still the passionate young man who draws his sword to help those in need when he sees injustice

The murder a year ago is still vivid in my memory.

The drastic change that happened to Yu Da Yue wasn't due to his inherent nature, but rather the pressure from the bottleneck he faced during cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless cultivators similar to Mount Tai.

More importantly, is Tan Hao still in contact with the remnants of the Kui Yin Sect

Tan Hao's abnormal cultivation base made Qin Sang unable to help but be wary, so he decided to follow him and see Tan Hao's current state.

Tan Hao's experience at the auction and the black market clearly shows that his immortal journey has not been smooth. He likely suffered a soul injury and spent all his resources buying healing pills, much like Yun Youzi's experiences.

However, Tan Hao was much more destitute than Yun Youzi. He lacked the backing of Taiyi Danzong and his magic artifacts were several levels inferior to Yun Youzi's.

In the heat of battle over the Jing Shen Dan, he desperately pulled out his best weapon, which turned out to be only a high-grade artifact.

Qin Sang still remembered the righteousness of that day at You Shan Fang Market. If possible, he wouldn't hesitate to help Tan Hao.

Besides, if Tan Hao still has connections with the Quyin Sect, Qin Sang could use Tan Hao to track down the remnants of the Quyin Sect.

He had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, plus several magic weapons and talismans by his side, he was no longer an inexperienced novice. As long as he didn't encounter a powerful demon like those from the Guiyin sect who claimed to be at the Nascent Soul realm, it would be anyone's guess who would kill whom.

This is a test.

The sooner you deal with the troubles caused by heartworms, the better.

There's also the Yama Banner, which only has six poles. If it finds remnants of the Kui Yin Sect, maybe it could gather all ten poles and complete the Ten Directions Yama Formation.

During the tracking of Tan Hao, Qin Sang felt something was amiss. Careful observation revealed that there was another person secretly following behind Tan Hao.

A man who competed with Tan Hao for the mask of Jing Shen Dan.

This person's purpose in stalking Tan Hao is obvious.

At that time, the masked man readily gave up Jing Shen Dan. Qin Sang didn't notice his ill intentions, as expected of a dog that bites without barking.

The masked man carefully followed Tan Hao, never expecting there to be another companion.

Qin Sang also immediately changed tactics, setting his target on the masked man.

Three people, forming a strange formation, left Shi Island one after another and entered the chaotic swamp., otherwise, they would have been discovered by those three people.At that time, whether the other party continues to fight or tacitly stops, it's hard to say once they are captured and interrogated.K...
