Chapter 2440 The Blame
The whale boat stopped, a stream of water rushed into the whale's mouth, and then the whale boat moved forward at an even faster speed.
Qin Sang watched from afar, and in a fleeting glance, she saw the elder of the catfish clan and several of his followers. The elder had transformed into a short, stout man with a long mustache and a somewhat sneaky appearance, but he was indeed a Void Refinement stage expert with mid-Void Refinement cultivation.
From this, we can infer that the master of Ice Island is at least a late-stage Void Refinement expert, otherwise how could he suppress these aquatic creatures?
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Sang did not show herself directly, but decided to observe from the shadows first to see what exactly happened at Yangmo Lake.
The whale boat moved swiftly across the sea, and Qin Sang was still able to keep up easily. After sailing for a while, a shadow suddenly appeared ahead. As the whale boat approached, it turned out to be a black manta ray.
This manta ray was enormous, comparable in size to the whale boat. As the whale boat approached, the manta ray suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Another magical artifact?"
Qin Sang was surprised, wondering why the aquatic creatures of the North Sea preferred such large magical artifacts. Was it due to insufficient quality of spiritual materials or a lack of ability?
After the batfish disappeared, two figures appeared in the spot and entered the whale boat. Qin Sang sensed that their cultivation levels were both at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.
"It seems that the powerful demons in the vicinity are all heading towards Yangmo Lake..."
Qin Sang thought to herself, and seeing the whale boat set off again, she silently followed.
During the journey, Qin Sang noticed that the whale-shaped ship changed direction several times, presumably to avoid the territory of other races, but ultimately headed towards Yangmo Lake.
After sailing for an unknown distance, the whale-shaped vessel suddenly slowed down and began to rise from the deep sea.
Qin Sang realized they might have arrived at their destination, so she surfaced first and scanned the boundless sea. She was immediately drawn to the strange sight in the distance.
"dragon!"
Qin Sang was startled.
As dusk fell, the setting sun shone like blood, and beneath it, several enormous figures danced wildly on the sea.
Upon closer inspection, they were several azure dragons, not the like, and their appearance was exactly the same as the legendary dragons. Their dark red scales indicated that they were red dragons.
These crimson dragons appeared to be fighting, vying for something, emitting roars that stirred up towering waves and shifting winds with every movement. But upon closer inspection, however, they did not come into contact with each other, nor did they display any menacing killing intent; rather, they seemed to be playing and frolicking.
Qin Sang had long heard of the dragon race's renown, and he never expected to see real dragons on the remote Ice Island. He was secretly awestruck, and at the same time, he wanted to experience the dragon race's splendor and supernatural powers. However, when he focused his attention and observed closely, he discovered that something was amiss with these crimson dragons.
They are not real dragons at all; their bodies are made of seawater. The reason they look like red dragons is because the seawater there is dark red!
"This is Yangmo Lake?"
Qin Sang hadn't expected Yangmo Lake to be so different from its surroundings. The dark red seawater was completely out of place, resembling a pool of blood, and it was so vast that its boundaries were nowhere in sight.
The energy in Yangmo Lake is chaotic, and these red dragons must have come from Yangmo Lake.
Qin Sang didn't know what the emergence of these crimson dragons meant, but he sensed powerful auras here.
He stopped in place, not daring to approach rashly. He shifted his gaze from the red dragon and quickly noticed a cluster of colorful clouds to his southeast.
Colorful clouds, like a canopy, floated in mid-air, with wisps of cloud hanging down like tassels, forming a cloud curtain. Within the cloud curtain, some figures could be vaguely seen, watching the frolicking red dragon.
Outside the colorful clouds, there were some scattered demon cultivators, who all seemed very wary of the colorful clouds and deliberately kept their distance, resulting in the area around the colorful clouds being empty.
The cultivators in the colorful clouds did not deliberately conceal their auras. The strongest among them was no less powerful than the fox spirit Qin Sang had encountered in the demon realm. He was definitely a top-tier expert!
"Wow!"
The sound of the waves attracted onlookers.
White waves parted, revealing a whale-shaped ship emerging from the water, with the elder of the catfish tribe standing atop the whale's skull.
"Hmm! I didn't expect to alarm Fellow Daoist Nian as well."
A woman's voice, gentle and pleasant, came from the colorful clouds.
"Greetings, Island Lord! I have come uninvited, please forgive me," the elder of the Catfish Clan said, stopping the whale boat in place and bowing to the colorful clouds from afar.
Qin Sang, who was behind them, heard their conversation and felt relieved. "It seems that the one in question is the Lord of Ice Dew Island."
Since the lord of Ice Island is not a demon saint, he can stay here without worry.
With so many powerful demons gathered here, it shouldn't be difficult to find an opportunity to befriend one or two of them.
"Hehe, Yangmo Lake is not my property, so what reason do I have to blame you, fellow Daoist? Besides, so many fellow Daoists have come today, how can I possibly blame everyone?"
You could tell there was a hint of resentment in the Ice Island Master's tone.
The elder of the catfish clan pretended not to hear, apologized, and steered the whale boat in another direction. Before the whale boat could stop, demon cultivators immediately surrounded it.
"This elder of the catfish clan seems to be quite prestigious," Qin Sang thought to himself, silently observing the relationships between these demon cultivators.
Time passed slowly, and the setting sun gradually sank into the sea, but the area was still filled with a dark red light. The moonlight shone in, adding to the desolation, making it look even more like a sea of blood.
As time went by, more demon cultivators arrived one after another. Qin Sang sensed two more late-stage Void Refinement experts. Although their auras were not as strong as those of the Ice Island Lord, they were surrounded by many demon cultivators.
It is unknown how many other top experts there are. Clearly, they all have different stances and their own agendas, and the Ice Island Lord cannot be the only one in power.
Surprisingly, despite so many experts gathering here and waiting until late at night, they didn't make any moves.
All the demon cultivators watched the frolicking red dragons silently, waiting for something.
Qin Sang activated his spiritual eyes, trying to see through the dark red seawater, but unfortunately the Heavenly Eye Butterfly was still asleep. His spiritual eyes were far inferior to the Heavenly Eye Butterfly's, and he couldn't see anything.
He kept a close eye on the movements within the colorful clouds, which became increasingly quiet after nightfall.
Silence?
Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly, sensing that the atmosphere around her was somewhat eerie because it was too quiet.
This 'quietness' didn't mean there was no sound; the crimson dragons continued their tireless frolicking, the waves crashing incessantly. Rather, it meant that the surrounding demon cultivators remained motionless and silent.
"Are they all communicating via telepathy?"
As soon as this thought crossed Qin Sang's mind, she felt as if the atmosphere around her had frozen, and an invisible pressure enveloped her heart.
This feeling is like the eve of a major battle.
Qin Sang knew nothing about this place and was worried that she would be inexplicably dragged into the battlefield. After thinking about it, Qin Sang decided to go further away.
Qin Sang remained calm and slowly retreated, preparing to create more distance between herself and Qin Sang.
Unexpectedly, just as he moved, a furious shout suddenly came from the colorful clouds, "He's been discovered! Leave him here!"
‘Wow! ’
A colossal wave surged before Qin Sang, startling him. He was still unsure of what was happening, but a sense of unease was already rising within him.
At this moment, Qin Sang's view was blocked by a towering wall of water that seemed to reach into the clouds. Within the water wall, a dark light suddenly appeared and rapidly magnified in his field of vision.
The black light resembled a giant pocket, radiating immense suction, or a colossal beast, poised to swallow Qin Sang whole!
The suction force was extremely strong, and Qin Sang's body trembled involuntarily. However, he reacted very quickly and immediately activated the Great Vajra Wheel Seal. At the same time, two wings sprouted from his back, and lightning flashed. With a powerful flap, he flew backward against the current.
How did you get exposed?
Qin Sang was filled with doubt at this moment.
He had always been very cautious and kept his distance from the owner of Ice Island.
To Qin Sang's surprise, the Ice Island Master attacked her directly after discovering her.
According to Qin Sang's observation, the Ice Island Master cannot control the overall situation. The other demon cultivators, when united, are enough to rival the Ice Island Master. Why is she not focusing on guarding against other opponents, but instead targeting someone unrelated to her?
It seems I must have been exposed a long time ago.
The lord of Ice Dew Island had silently set a trap right under his nose, waiting for him to walk right into it. If he had taken a step forward just now, he would have fallen into the trap, but by unexpectedly retreating, he forced the other party to make a move.
If one falls into a trap, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to oneself.
Having grown accustomed to the presence of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, Qin Sang had been somewhat careless this time, she silently reflected.
"Hmph! You're quite alert! It really was you long-haired chickens plotting something!"
The curtain was lifted, and a woman wearing a coral crown stepped out, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Qin Sang.
This woman is the owner of Ice Island.
Seeing her expression, Qin Sang was completely confused. She had just arrived, so how could she have offended her?
At this moment, Qin Sang noticed that the Ice Island Master was looking at her wings, and recalling what she had seen and heard before, she suddenly realized something.
"Having committed such heinous acts, how dare they come back to watch the show? They have no sense of mortality! Kill them!"
The lord of Ice Island was filled with murderous intent.
Qin Sang knew something was wrong and his escape light suddenly changed direction.
'Shuh! '
A beam of white light pierced through the afterimage left by Qin Sang. Within the white light was a string of prayer beads, which were actually made from fish teeth.
In that instant, the feeling Qin Sang got from this string of fish teeth was comparable to that of a flying sword.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
A series of powerful auras rapidly approached.
"Fellow Daoists, I was merely passing by. There must be some misunderstanding!"
Qin Sang shouted loudly, and when he looked up, he saw that dark clouds covered the sky above him, and above the clouds, there was a faint flow of colorful light. The colorful clouds that had appeared earlier had disappeared and now covered the sky above this sea area.
The clouds drifted down like tassels, and Qin Sang felt as if a huge mountain had been placed on her back. If she didn't get away soon, she would probably be suppressed here by the colorful clouds.
Unfortunately, the Ice Island Lord wouldn't listen to his explanation, and the demons were closing in on him.
At the same time, the attention of the other demon cultivators was drawn to this place, but fortunately they did not join in to kill Qin Sang.
Seeing that he couldn't explain himself, Qin Sang knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He flipped his hand, and a small mountain appeared in his palm.
The Vermilion Bird roared from inside the small cave, "Let this Vermilion Bird out right now, or I'll scare them to death!"
Qin Sang had no time to pay attention to it. Although the trap carefully set by the Ice Island Lord had not ambushed him, it was still not to be underestimated.
‘Wow! ’
The seawater churned and surged with huge waves, and white ribbons of water stretched across the surface of the sea.
Each ribbon of water was like a great river, its waters surging and possessing a terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and splitting the earth. One end of each great river was held in the hand of a demon cultivator, swaying at their will.
The crisscrossing rivers instantly formed a giant net, their energy interconnected, all locking onto Qin Sang, who was like a beast caught in the net.
‘Boom! ’
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the sea of clouds overhead collapsed, and the thick clouds rushed down towards Qin Sang like an avalanche.
Seeing that Qin Sang was about to be locked in the giant net and swallowed by the collapsing clouds, he remained calm in the face of danger. If the other party successfully lured him into the trap, it might be a big problem. Now, it would not be so easy to trap him.
'Om! '
The sacred mountain trembled slightly.
The next moment, the demons were astonished to find that a giant mountain had appeared where Qin Sang was.
Qin Sang's tiny body was able to lift a giant mountain and smash it forward.
'boom! '
Several major rivers snapped in response, their waters scattering with a crash.
Several demon cultivators who held the Great River in their hands couldn't help but catch their breath, their faces flushed, and they showed expressions of horror.
Mount Daiyu directly smashed a gap in the water network, and Qin Sang didn't even need to use the Thunder Beast Guards.
The immortal mountain quickly shrank back into the palm of the hand, and with a flap of its phoenix wings, a bolt of azure lightning shot out from the collapsing clouds.
"What are you all waiting for? He's already stolen the opportunity in Yangmo Lake! Stop him now!"
The Ice Island Master had not expected Qin Sang to be so strong. Seeing that he was about to escape, he hurriedly called for help.
"What? The opportunity has been taken away?"
"What chance?"
Could there be a treasure at the bottom of the lake?
……
The demons cried out in alarm.
In an instant, Qin Sang felt like he was being pricked by thorns, realizing that things could not be resolved peacefully today. He felt somewhat frustrated, never expecting that watching the commotion would lead to trouble.
It was clearly not him who stole the opportunity, and it's unclear who he took the blame for.
‘Crack! ’
A bolt of azure lightning ripped through the void.
Seeing the speed of the lightning, most of the eager demon cultivators wisely gave up the pursuit.
Qin Sang flew away, sensing something. He looked down and saw a sharp, blade-like fin protruding from the sea surface. The water escape technique was exceptionally skillful, and it was in hot pursuit.
"So it's a female shark, no wonder it's so fierce," Qin Sang thought to herself.
With more and more pursuers behind him, Qin Sang dared not engage in a prolonged fight. A flash of lightning increased his speed by three points, gradually leaving the pursuers behind.
In the end, the Ice Island Lord had no choice but to give up the pursuit. By the time the other demon cultivators caught up, Qin Sang's escape light was nowhere to be seen. The demons stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
……
Qin Sang shook off his pursuers and landed on a deserted island. Recalling the island lord's reaction when he saw his phoenix wings, he felt something was amiss.
"Long-haired chicken..."
Could it be that the one who stole the treasures of Yangmo Lake was also a Phoenix Clan cultivator?
I remember the old catfish once said that the area around Ice Lu Island was mostly inhabited by aquatic creatures, and bird demons were rarely seen. Phoenixes existed only in legends. However, the island lord of Ice Lu Island did not seem surprised. Instead, he was convinced that the old catfish was the thief.
However, Qin Sang knew that the Phoenix Clan might appear in the North Sea during this period.
The emergence of the demon realm will inevitably attract powerful demons to the North Sea. It would make sense if some phoenix demon cultivators came with powerful phoenix cultivators.
It's unclear who will ultimately control the demon realm. Why are these guys causing trouble here instead of staying with powerful figures, and making themselves the scapegoats?
