Chapter 2416 Whereabouts Exposed
The two Protoss beings chased each other in the clouds.
Suddenly a sword shadow flashed by, and the Star Spirit was swallowed by starlight.
Qin Sang flashed over, raised her hand, and with a smile, took the two Star Spirits into her possession. She had already captured nine Star Spirits, and Mo Yan should have captured about the same number.
The more Star Spirits the better, of course. Qin Sang clearly felt that Star Spirits were becoming increasingly difficult to find, not knowing how vast this sea of clouds was. To capture more Star Spirits, he either had to patiently wait for them to come out on their own, or he had to go deep into the sea of clouds.
Furthermore, according to Mo Yan, there must be ancient demon cultivators' treasures in and on the other side of the sea of clouds. As part of the Xuanwu Holy Palace, they are no less valuable than the treasures in the Seven Mansions of Xuanwu.
The key to unlocking this sea of clouds may lie within ourselves!
After pondering for a while, Qin Sang flashed and flew straight into the depths of the sea of clouds.
‘Crack! ’
Thunder and lightning raged all around, and the rain intensified.
The drizzle gradually turned into a downpour, with raindrops pounding against the Mingshan Armor with a crackling sound. This was no ordinary rain; each drop brought a strong impact, and the Mingshan Armor's precious light flashed incessantly.
A phoenix cry rang out amidst the thunder.
With the Dharma Body activated, Qin Sang, relying on her powerful strength and the protective Mingshan Armor, charged through the thunderclouds.
Suddenly, a huge cloud appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
As Qin Sang approached the cloud, it seemed as if a giant beast lying there had been awakened by Qin Sang. It churned its mountain-like body, causing the clouds to surge, and a huge head emerged, shaped like a tiger's head. It opened its huge mouth and exuded a violent aura, as if a peerless ferocious beast was awakening.
Qin Sang, however, seemed to have walked right into a trap, rushing straight towards the giant beast and being swallowed whole.
Once inside the clouds, everything was white all around, limiting both spiritual perception and visual field.
Qin Sang remained calm and recalled what Mo Yan had said before: these giant beasts formed from clouds were one of the dangers in the sea of clouds. It was best not to run away or fight back when encountering them, otherwise it would only provoke the giant beasts and cause them to fully awaken.
The best course of action is to charge in and pass through the monster's body.
These were all experiences summarized by Mo Yan. Qin Sang did as instructed, and after entering the giant beast's body, the surrounding clouds indeed calmed down, and the violent aura gradually subsided.
However, danger also lurks within the giant beast's body. Clouds swirl around it, resembling a labyrinth, where intruders may get lost and never be able to leave.
Qin Sang stopped, cooperated with the Heavenly Eye Butterfly to use the Heavenly Eye Divine Power, observed for a while, and then moved forward. Here, although the Heavenly Eye Divine Power was suppressed, it could still be effective, especially after becoming familiar with the patterns of cloud changes.
Drawing on Mo Yan's experience, Qin Sang quickly discerned some clues, navigating a winding path within the giant beast's body before successfully flying out. Emerging from the clouds, Qin Sang glanced back; she had now passed through the beast's body and was behind it.
Just then, Qin Sang suddenly felt a powerful suction force locking him in. The surrounding rainwater was suspended in mid-air, forming a huge vortex. Torrents swirled around the vortex with tremendous force. Qin Sang was in the middle of the vortex, and a suction force was pulling him towards its center.
‘Wow! ’
Suddenly, a monstrous wave surged around Qin Sang. It turned out that he had summoned the Daiyu Immortal Mountain. The torrent crashed into the mountain, but was blocked by it and shattered. The suction power was greatly reduced.
'Shuh! '
Qin Sang seized the opportunity to rush out of the whirlpool, but unexpectedly felt a bone-chilling cold descend upon her immediately afterward.
Looking around, the torrential rain turned into hail and blizzard, the ice and snow as sharp as knives, covering the sky and the earth.
At this moment, Qin Sang felt as if he were in a forest of swords and spears. The immortal mountain in his palm trembled, and invisible waves spread out, shattering the ice and snow.
Qin Sang used the sacred Mount Daiyu as a guide, overcoming numerous obstacles. This place was fraught with danger; even ordinary celestial phenomena could be fatal to intruders. All sorts of perils followed one after another, making it a breathtaking experience.
It's worth noting that he hadn't even reached the deepest part of the sea of clouds yet; no wonder the Three Immortals of Flying Immortals returned empty-handed last time.
"Still no response..."
Qin Sang raised his wrist and saw that the 'mole' had not changed at all, which greatly disappointed him.
He shook his head, fully activating his Dharma form to sense his destiny star, attempting to use it to comprehend the secrets within the sea of clouds. However, he discovered that this method, which had always been effective in the Seven Mansions of Xuanwu, was ineffective here. He could vaguely sense something through his destiny star, but it seemed to be greatly interfered with, making it impossible to make a judgment.
It seems this place has indeed been altered, and it all comes down to the tomb's owner and this black mole.
Qin Sang knew that it was almost impossible for him to break through the sea of clouds on his own. But should he continue forward? Maybe the 'mole' would change?
Just as he hesitated, the mole suddenly emitted a familiar fluctuation.
"Ok?"
Qin Sang is now certain that the change in the mole was not caused by Yun Hai, but by something from outside!
Without hesitation, he turned back and returned to the outer edge of the sea of clouds as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the fluctuations had not disappeared. Following the sensation of the mole, Qin Sang soon found the source.
"It's them!"
From afar, Tianmu Butterfly saw several streaks of light flying between the clouds. Qin Sang immediately activated the Heavenly Awakening Thunder Robe to conceal her tracks and observe from a distance.
The Plague God, the Gu Granny—one of the three elders is missing…
They were heading deeper into the sea of clouds, with the Plague God flying at the forefront. Qin Sang noticed that his right hand was holding something, and crystal-like light refracted through his fingers.
This seems to be what attracts moles!
After observing for a while, Qin Sang discovered that the Plague God was constantly channeling power into his palm, seemingly relying on this object for guidance!
"Tortoise shell?"
When the Plague God opened his palm, Qin Sang finally saw the true form of the object: it was a tortoise shell! It was very similar to the tortoise shell he had obtained in the tomb, with similar size and almost identical patterns on the carapace, only the texture was slightly different.
The closer one gets to the plague god, the more obvious the reaction of the black mole becomes, and there is clearly some connection between the two tortoise shells.
However, it seems that only Qin Sang's tortoise shell reacted, while the Plague Lord did not notice him.
"right here!"
The Plague God withdrew his escape light, gazed at the sea of clouds, and spoke to the three demons behind him.
At this moment, Qin Sang noticed that the fluctuations of the mole had disappeared. Looking at the Plague Lord, she saw that he had stopped activating the crystal tortoise shell. She immediately understood why the mole had not reacted when she was so close to the Plague Lord.
“Indeed,” Gu Lao landed beside him, “It is indeed the same sea of clouds. It seems we have entered the other side of the sea of clouds.”
What kind of treasure might be inside?
Qiu Zang Gong and Cha Yun Jun followed closely behind, sensing the dangerous aura in the sea of clouds, and became suspicious.
The Plague Lord and the Gu Granny exchanged a glance. When they approached the sea of clouds, they realized that they had underestimated it and perhaps exaggerated the power of the Crystal Tortoise Shell.
Gently stroking the crystal tortoise shell with his fingers, the Plague King felt the coolness emanating from it and urged the shell on again and again. However, to his disappointment, the crystal tortoise shell did not display any divine power as he wished, nor did it directly open a path in the sea of clouds or reveal a cave within the sea of clouds.
Were their previous judgments wrong?
The Plague God was unsure of the situation, but he couldn't tell the two elders the truth, so he had them protect him and pretend to activate the crystal tortoise shell.
Qin Sang watched their actions silently from a distance, secretly contacting Mo Yan.
Next, the three demons stayed around the Plague God, sending out avatars into the sea of clouds from time to time.
Not long after, Mo Yan arrived and joined Qin Sang.
"How many did you catch, fellow Daoist?" Mo Yan handed a bag to Qin Sang. Qin Sang opened it and found that there were more than a dozen Star Spirits inside, more than he had caught.
He left not a single inkstone behind, giving all the star spirits to Qin Sang.
Qin Sang bowed and thanked him, saying, "I have another request, which I hope you can grant..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the four demons in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish to..."
Mo Yan was surprised, wondering why Qin Sang suddenly had the intention to kill the Plague God.
“I will deal with the Plague Lord myself; I only need you to hold them off for a while,” Qin Sang said.
"The number of Star Spirits is far from what I promised you, fellow Daoist. I am willing to lend you a hand, but..." Mo Yan hesitated. Although he could temporarily unleash the strength of the late-stage Void Refinement realm, fighting three against one was beyond his capabilities, especially Qiu Cang Gong and Cha Yun Jun, who were unfathomable.
“Fellow Daoist has another helper,” Qin Sang said, summoning the Thunder Beast Guardian.
Mo Yan was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist is indeed unfathomable, you actually had such a powerful warrior hidden away!"
With the help of the Thunder Beast Guards, Mo Yan's confidence increased greatly, and he agreed. Qin Sang then had the Thunder Beast Guards disappear into Mo Yan's sleeve.
Just then, the Plague God awoke, and the four demons said something before flying into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Qin Sang and Mo Yan quietly followed behind, waiting for their chance.
The rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The four demons ahead suddenly stopped, seemingly arguing. Qin Sang and Mo Yan used the sea of clouds as cover to close the distance. For some unknown reason, the Plague God siblings and the two elders suddenly began quarreling, and the atmosphere became tense.
Qin Sang was secretly delighted; if they parted on bad terms, her opportunity would come.
But fate had other plans. They didn't part ways after all. The Plague God reluctantly agreed to some conditions, and things calmed down. Then, the Plague God summoned the crystal tortoise shell in his hand, and a burst of spiritual light spread towards the sea of clouds.
Qiu Cang Gong and Cha Yun Jun stared at the crystal tortoise shell for a while, nodded to the Plague God, and then each performed a hand seal.
A green light appeared between the two elders, and the green light quickly grew, eventually sprouting emerald green tree roots.
Only the tree roots are visible, not the tree trunk.
The tree roots grew wildly, some piercing into the clouds beneath them and taking root there. Then, more than a dozen main roots branched out, growing deeper into the sea of clouds, their long tendrils gradually spreading to the horizon.
The green light grew even more intense, shining on the two old men's bark-like faces, making them seem to radiate new life.
For some reason, Qin Sang felt a vague unease.
The next moment, the two old men suddenly opened their eyes, "Who!"
exposed!
Qin Sang was startled. His Heavenly Thunder Robe and Ink Ink Concealment Technique were both top-tier concealment abilities that had been invincible before, but now the two elders had seen through them.
It's unclear how it was exposed.
Now that things have come to this, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released!
'Shuh! '
The two elders' sharp gazes shot towards their hiding place. The Plague Lord and the Gu Granny were caught off guard, but they quickly realized that someone was watching them from the shadows.
The other party is likely one of the Five Immortals. They couldn't find him before, but he's come to us of his own accord. The Plague God is struggling with the lack of progress; wouldn't capturing him provide a clue?
"He Fang Xiaoxiao!"
The four demons roared and pounced forward. Despite their recent argument, they coordinated perfectly.
The next moment, two figures appeared in the clouds.
"what?"
Upon realizing it wasn't any of the Five Immortals, the Plague God was slightly taken aback, then recognized Mo Yan and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"
Back then, Mo Yan bought the bait at the trade fair. They tried to ambush and kill him but failed, though they still remembered his scent. Their initial plan was to lure Mo Yan out, but they never expected to attract the attention of the Five Immortals' Abode.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Plague God laughed loudly.
This is where things take a dramatic turn. It was Mo Yan who entered the secret realm earlier, and it was also Mo Yan who opened the Guixu. This young man must know many secrets.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Qiu Cang Gong and Cha Yun Jun raised their hands and pointed at Qin Sang and Mo Yan. The green light shone brightly, and the tree roots that had been deep in the sea of clouds instantly retracted, while new tree roots grew wildly.
In an instant, hundreds of tree roots shot out, as thick as pythons and incredibly agile.
Some tree roots shot towards them, while others took root in the void. The fine tendrils on the surface of the roots grew wildly, as if there were soil in the void, from which they could draw nutrients.
Where the tree roots take hold, the clouds cease to move, the rain hangs suspended in mid-air, and space and time seem to freeze.
At the same time, the Plague Lord and the Gu Granny vanished in a flash, and a colorful miasma surrounded Qin Sang and Mo Yan, completely out of place with the surrounding white clouds.
"Let's see where you run this time!"
A fierce roar came from the poisonous miasma, as the Plague God was still resentful about his previous defeat; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns.
To the four demons' surprise, Qin Sang and Mo Yan not only did not back down, but instead took the initiative to come forward.
Mo Yan held a paintbrush, leaving ink marks in the air, dotting, outlining, and sketching in various ways. The ink marks were like knives, specifically targeting tree roots.
The ink marks shot outwards like celestial maidens scattering flowers, yet they always managed to intercept the tree roots precisely, striking them fiercely.
'boom! boom! boom! ’
Unexpectedly, the tree roots were extremely tough, and the ink marks could only block them, not cut them off. However, once the tree roots were stained with thick ink, their momentum was greatly diminished.
Mo Yan shifted his feet, avoiding the attack from the poisonous miasma.
"Fellow Daoist, do not be hasty, your opponent is me!"
With a swift flap of her phoenix wings, Qin Sang, undeterred by the potent poison, charged into the toxic miasma and easily located the true form of the Plague God.
"You are……"
The Plague King was puzzled, feeling that Qin Sang looked familiar. Finally, he remembered that she was the strategist of Tianyunpu.
This guy wasn't dead after all; he'd been hiding his true strength all along!
Tianyunpu is a spy planted by Wuxianzhai in Liandu Daze. How is it related to Wuxianzhai? Could it be that Wuxianzhai is also nearby?
The plague god was filled with suspicion and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Just then, the four demons were shocked to discover that an incredibly powerful aura had suddenly appeared on the battlefield!
Mo Yan seized the opportunity, flicked his sleeve, and shot out a bolt of lightning. The Thunder Beast Warrior held a lightning spear, flicked the tip of the spear, and went straight for Gu Lao!
