Chapter 2260 The Death of the Senior Brother
The identity of Tianqi has been missing for too long and is no longer suitable to be used. However, Qin Sang plans to return to the human territory first. In case the truth is revealed, the Qingluan tribe will not be able to trace him back.
In fact, after Qin Sang contacted the mysterious Qingluan, he learned the truth about the illusion and had a better channel to understand the Qingluan clan. If there was any reason to stay in the demon clan, it was that he might have the opportunity to contact the magic shadows and find out their news.
Qin Sang always felt that the mysterious Qingluan was not very clear about the Demon Shadow. He didn't know whether it was hiding some secret or the mysterious Qingluan was not clear about the true details of the Demon Shadow.
There is also the so-called "Heavenly Secret". Even the mysterious Qingluan cannot clearly explain what the "Heavenly Secret" is, so the same is naturally true for the demonic shadow created by the "Heavenly Secret".
Returning to the previous battlefield, after so many years, it has completely changed beyond recognition.
The demon clan won a great victory here. The original territory of the human clan was occupied by the demon clan, and the battle line advanced a long way to the west.
While flying in the sky, Qin Sang could see a large and unusually lush jungle from time to time. This place had been baptized by war, but not only did it not become a wasteland, but it was full of vitality under the watering of blood.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows how fierce the current battle is.
Qin Sang flew westward for a while and found the location of the human camp. He felt relieved. Before leaving, he opened up a cave here and sent messages to people he knew, telling them that he was going to go into seclusion and that any news would be sent here eventually.
The battle line has not yet advanced to the vicinity of the cave, so the cave should not have been affected yet.
On an inconspicuous hillside, Qin Sang descended from the sky, waved his hand to open the formation ban, entered the cave, and immediately saw a little light in the spirit formation, flying around like headless flies.
He took them and examined them one by one.
Except those sent from the Immortal City, most of them are from fellow disciples.
Qin Sang took a quick look and found that in the past few years, it was basically from the senior brother. After all, Qingyan and he joined the battlefield together, so they could take care of each other. But later, the senior brother Qingyan suddenly had no news, and the person who delivered the message became senior sister Qinghong.
Qin Sang flipped through the letter, which was mostly inquiries and concerns, but it gave him a bad feeling.
"I hope they just swapped roles," Qin Sang thought to himself, and turned to the last letter, which happened to be delivered last month. He learned Qinghong's location from it, and turned and left.
Ten days later, Qin Sang found Qing Hong.
"Junior brother, you finally came out!"
Seeing Qin Sang, Qing Hong was overjoyed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He kept repeating, "I'm glad that my junior brother is okay! I'm glad that he is okay!"
Over the years, she sent a letter every once in a while, but never received a response, which made her extremely worried about Qin Sang's safety.
After the joy, Qinghong's expression suddenly dimmed again, and sadness flashed in his eyes.
Qin Sang saw this and asked in a deep voice: "Did something happen to Senior Brother?"
"My eldest brother...was escorting some precious materials when he was suddenly attacked by a demon and killed by him," Qing Hong said sadly with tears in his eyes.
Qin Sang had a premonition and sighed with regret.
Qingyan is dead. According to the requirements of the Immortal City, Yuanjingshan must send someone to replace Qingyan, and it can only be Qinghong.
Even though he knew that everything was an illusion, these people were so vivid and their feelings towards him were real, so it was natural for him to feel sorry for them. Now, Qin Sang could understand why so many cultivators could not get rid of their inner demons and eventually suffered disasters.
He had the protection of the Jade Buddha, which was indeed a great advantage.
"Before we set out, the seniors from Xiancheng summoned me. I asked them to let my eldest brother stay behind, but I didn't expect..."
Qin Sang regarded Yuan Jingshan as the foundation for building his own power in the future, especially several fellow disciples whom he could fully trust, but now he has lost one of them.
Qingyan's body was not found, only a cenotaph was built at Yuanjing Mountain.
"Have you found out who killed our senior brother?" Qin Sang asked.
Qing Hong said: "I only know that they were strong men from the Rock-beating Bird Clan. There were three of them together at the time, and they passed by the place where the eldest brother died."
"Then kill them all!" Qin Sang said coldly.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. They are all top-notch warriors, and Master is no match for them."
Qing Hong calmed down and persuaded, "Junior brother, you have been out for so long, go back and pay respects to the eldest brother when you have time. Junior sister is staying at the mountain gate, she must be worried about you too."
"Master, hasn't come out of retreat yet?" Qin Sang asked.
Qinghong shook his head slightly.
Qin Sang thought for a moment and said, "I want to stay here to avenge my senior brother. I can't go back to the mountain right away, but my senior sister has to go back!"
Without waiting for Qing Hong to speak, Qin Sang continued, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I have my own way. Xiancheng attaches great importance to me. As long as it is a reasonable request, they will satisfy it. As long as we have enough patience and wait for the opportunity, I believe there will be a chance."
Qing Hong's face was still worried. "What reason do I have to go back to the mountain?"
"I will use my merits to exchange for Senior Sister's return to the mountain. After returning to the mountain, Senior Sister will do one thing..."
After a pause, Qin Sang asked, "Did you receive the jade slip that I sent back to the sect?"
Qing Hong nodded and said, "Thanks to Junior Brother's experience, my Junior Sister and I have made great progress in our cultivation."
Qin Sang could also see that Qing Hong had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He must have benefited from the jade slip. The content of the jade slip was the insights he gained on the Water, Fire and Stone Bridge, which would be of great use to his practice of the Water and Fire Harmony Chapter.
"Sister, you should be able to feel that with these experiences, the cultivation speed of my disciples will definitely surpass that of other sects. However, because we started too late and have too few disciples, the development of our sect has been restricted. Sister, when you return to the mountain, you should recruit more disciples and pass on the Tao. I believe that one day, our Yuanjing Mountain will become a giant and bring glory to our sect!"
There was a gleam of ambition in Qin Sang's eyes.
The war was so brutal that many sect leaders and elders must have died on the battlefield, which was equivalent to the destruction of the sect for the small sects. The high-level combat power was gone, and the disciples were leaderless. People were panicked and eager to seek shelter. It was not difficult to lure them into Yuanjing Mountain. Those were the best of the best who had been screened, saving the trouble of testing.
The shadow of war looms over the fairy city, and those big forces are preoccupied with their own affairs. This is the best time for Yuanjing Mountain to develop.
As for the territory, it is also very simple. It is time to settle the cause and effect with Tianjingmen.
But Qin Sang's real purpose was not to bring honor to his family as he said.
According to his original plan, he would do so once the time was right and start building his own power.
Staying awake is his advantage. He can make arrangements in advance. When the final battle comes, other opponents will just wake up, while he will be fully prepared. He can then use the power of illusion and deploy human wave tactics.
Therefore, he did not need those disciples to be loyal to Yuan Jingshan, as long as they could play a role in the decisive battle.
However, the truth Qin Sang heard from the mysterious Qingluan made him realize that he had thought too simply before. His opponents were not those alien cultivators, or rather, not just them.
The signs of heaven appeared earlier than Qin Sang expected. It was likely that the treasure would be born before Yuan Jing Mountain could grow up, and this plan would not be of much use in the end.
Despite this, Qin Sang still plans to move forward. No one can predict what the situation will be like in the future, so what if it comes in handy?
Qing Hong was also shocked by Qin Sang's ambition. For the first time, he felt that this junior brother was a little strange. He hesitated and said, "Those disciples who joined Yuanjing Mountain halfway through may miss their original master..."
Qin Sang had a plan in mind. "Senior sister divided the disciples into inner and outer sects. Only those who have passed the test can join the inner sect, and at the same time, those mediocre ones can be eliminated. The world is in chaos now, and it is a time of great strife. No one can survive alone. Master must have seen this, so he asked us to open the sect and recruit disciples to expand the sect!"
Qinghong was moved by Qin Sang's persuasion.
She had been the acting headmaster and had experienced bloody trials on the battlefield. Her determination had changed a lot and she was not lacking in courage. She nodded heavily and said, "Okay! We will all listen to you, Junior Brother!"
The two discussed it again, and Qin Sang left quietly.
……
In a large camp built by the Immortal City.
That night.
The camp gate was quietly opened, and a group of monks left silently, blending into the night.
They avoided the eyes and ears of the demons, crossed mountains and rivers, and gradually moved away from the battlefield.
The two leaders stopped.
One of them said to the other, "Master Chen, let's say goodbye here. We'll meet again after we're done."
At this time, the moonlight shone on another person's face, it was Master Chen of Tianjing Sect.
When the war begins, no force can sit idly by, and Master Chen personally joins the battlefield.
"See you later!"
Sect Leader Chen nodded and led half of the monks away.
He was feeling a bit depressed. In that unsolved mystery, he lost his son and severed his relationship with the demon clan. He was so focused on finding a new way that he neglected the management of the fairy city. It was too late to remedy the situation, which led to him repeatedly hitting a wall and being used like a lackey.
Fortunately, this mission is not very dangerous.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Sect Leader Chen suddenly saw three dark shadows on the mountain ahead, and his heart tightened, "Who are they?"
All the cultivators stopped and looked at the black shadow vigilantly.
The shadow in the middle laughed and said sarcastically, "Master Chen's only son died that year. I wonder if he gave birth to a new bloodline?"
"you……"
Sect Leader Chen was furious, and suddenly he felt a sense of alarm, as he saw two black shadows rushing towards him from the left and right.
As planned, it didn't take long for Master Chen to be beheaded on the spot.
The cultivation of the others was far inferior to that of Master Chen, and they soon followed in his footsteps.
"Master, I have fulfilled my mission."
The two black shadows completed the massacre and flew back to the mountain. They were actually two demon cultivators.
The other black shadow was none other than Qin Sang. Back then, he had to make elaborate arrangements to plot against Sect Leader Chen, but now he doesn't even need to do it himself.
These two demon cultivators were captured alive by Qin Sang, and they were willing to let him plant restrictions in their bodies so that he could control them. In addition, Qin Sang also subdued several demon cultivators in the transformation stage, preparing to let them recognize Qing Hong as their master and bring them back to the mountain gate to be his thugs.
Qin Sang turned around and left with the two demon cultivators, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
Next, Qin Sang announced that his retreat was over, re-contacted the Immortal City, joined the battlefield and made great achievements, and then used his achievements to exchange for his senior sister Qinghong to return to the mountain.
Everything was going steadily according to Qin Sang's plan.
……
"Senior, have you sensed the change in destiny again?" The mysterious Qingluan woke up again, and Qin Sang asked knowingly.
"The appearance of a sign of heaven... does not mean... that the treasure will be born immediately, but... I have a hunch..." Mysterious Qingluan hesitated for a moment, "The treasure may... appear... in a way... that we... cannot imagine..."
He asked Qin Sang again, "How is the holy object..."
"Senior, I have successfully refined a trace of the power of the holy object!" Qin Sang said excitedly.
"really?"
The mysterious Qingluan's tone became a little higher. It was just a casual question and didn't expect Qin Sang to do it so quickly.
"It's absolutely true, but it's a pity that you can't see it. I have made great progress in my cultivation recently," Qin Sang said gratefully, "All this is thanks to you, I have no way to repay you!"
The progress of refining the holy object was not as encouraging as Qin Sang said. He had not yet fully understood the characteristics of the Qingluan clan's holy object.
However, Qin Sang had to say this so that he could reasonably improve his cultivation and become stronger quickly, reaching the peak of the Spiritualization Stage.
Qin Sang had always wanted Mysterious Qingluan to use her magical powers to help him find the stone pavilion, but he had no suitable reason. If he encountered a bottleneck, or claimed that he was blocked by his inner demons, and asked Mysterious Qingluan for help, it would not arouse suspicion, after all, bottlenecks and inner demons were unreasonable.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The mysterious Qingluan couldn't help himself and said hello several times. He told Qin Sang to practice diligently and comprehend the true Dharma as soon as possible so that he could carry stronger magical powers. He also passed on his experience in comprehending the Dharma to Qin Sang.
Qin Sang readily agreed.
However, the day after communicating with the mysterious Qingluan, he found a reason to leave the battlefield, flew all the way southwest, and came to Yuji Mountain.
"Feilong greets the senior!"
The young boy who collected herbs back then has grown up, and his face is full of gratitude towards the person who changed his life.
Che Feilong knew what Qin Sang was most concerned about, and reported: "The fairy that the senior asked me to wait for has never come back."
Qin Sang nodded, not surprised.
He stared at the stone pavilion for a moment, then set up an array to cover it and block out the starlight from the sky.
Che Feilong didn't understand and didn't dare to ask more questions.
"You continue to guard here," Qin Sang paused, "and you can pass on the Taoism I taught you."
"Yes! I will stay here for generations to come, waiting for the fairy for you!"
Che Feilong kowtowed respectfully, and when he raised his head, the figure had disappeared.
……
In front of Yuji Mountain.
Qin Sang's figure flashed and he immediately disappeared into the cliff.
He had just made a breakthrough not long ago, achieving an accomplishment comparable to that of the late Nascent Soul stage in the chapter on the harmony of water and fire. Judging from his observations of the Yuji Mountain formation, this level of accomplishment was still not enough for him to pass the test of the formation and become the master of Yuji Mountain.
However, Qin Sang's real strength is definitely not this far. He can easily fight against a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. I wonder if he can force his way through with this strength.
Standing at the head of the stone bridge, Qin Sang's eyes flickered. He pondered for a moment and stepped onto the stone bridge.
In an instant, strange phenomena appeared on both sides of the stone bridge, covering the sky and surrounding Qin Sang.
Qin Sang walked forward slowly, unafraid of the threat that was so close. He would occasionally stop to meditate and then continue forward, step by step, until he reached the other end of the stone bridge.
