Chapter 914: Underlings

y constantly changes, this time the Witch Clan's breakthrough of the formation is different from the last time, and there might be a chance to observe it.As the waves grew larger, Qin Sang knew they w...On Daito Island.

Qin Sang left the cave dwelling and stood on a hilltop, gazing at the illusionary array below.

At this time, the three people shuttling up and down have already entered the Poison Island and triggered the illusionary array.

Although he wasn't sure of the details, seeing their appearances and the menacing wind pursuing them closely, Qin Sang could probably guess some things.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He was honestly just cultivating in his cave, and yet some meddling fool had to come and disturb him, forcing him into this whirlwind of trouble.

At his current cultivation level, he wouldn't fear anyone unless a Nascent Soul personally made a move. However, it's always better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Qin Sang pondered how to handle the situation. When he saw the three people's actions after landing on the island, and the cultivation levels of the scholar and the middle-aged beautiful woman, his expression moved slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

Just as Qin Sang flashed down the mountain, about to do something, his eyes narrowed slightly and he stared intently at the outside of Du Island, discovering the presence of that phantom.

"The old ghost from the Danjie period, seems to be a demon cultivator..."

Qin Sang's face darkened.

He judged through the imposing momentum and escape speed of that eerie wind that there were no more than cultivators in the Qi Refining period inside. He even thought it was a dispute between Qi Refining cultivators, and even if they were all killed, it would be an easy feat.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Unexpectedly, there was a golden pill following behind it.

It seems things are not as simple as they appear.

However, an old demon at the nascent core stage was not enough to change Qin Sang's mind. He glanced faintly at the phantom and then retracted his gaze. His figure flickered and shot down the mountain.

For safety's sake, Qin Sang summoned his two-headed hound and his avatar to keep a close eye on the illusion array.

After arriving on Dokuzajima.

The scholar and the middle-aged beauty entered the poisonous miasma and, according to their prearranged plan, went their separate ways.

A middle-aged woman took out a piece of gauze curtain and wrapped it around herself and her daughter.

Due to their consumption of the Yin Chan Dan, they emanated a faint black aura from their bodies. This aura could blend with poison miasma, and combined with the abilities of the Hong Xing Zhang (Red Banner), this allowed them to conceal themselves effectively.

The scholar, without looking back, rushed into the depths of the poisonous island, ready to use his own body to lure the Eagle King.

The middle-aged woman wiped away the tears from her face, turned resolutely, and flew away with her daughter in the other direction.

After flying out not far, the two of them let out a cry of surprise one after another, discovering that they had fallen into a peculiar illusion array.

The illusion array was imbued with poison miasma power and controlled directly by Qin Sang. It was not something a mere Qi Refining cultivator could decipher.

The Confucian scholar suddenly felt dizzy and turned around, his expression startled. He hurriedly bowed to the empty space and said: “Junior doesn’t know this is senior’s dojo, disturbing senior. I hope senior will forgive me.”

But the illusion array was eerily silent.

Just when the Confucian scholars were puzzled, a creaking voice suddenly came from above their heads, saying coldly, "Apologize You dare to be so bold, disturbing my old man's cultivation, and even bring so many cultivators here. Do you think I wouldn't dare to take your lives"

The scholar heard this and was greatly alarmed, secretly lamenting in his heart.

This old geezer sounds like trouble.

I thought it was a toxic island, but I didn't expect that this old demon had occupied it and turned it into a dojo.

The Corrosive-Winged Eagle King was a being that even cultivators at the Core Formation stage would fear, yet this old demon had silently eliminated it, even taking over its lair. There wasn't a single whisper of it outside, which speaks volumes about the strength of this old demon.

The pursuers hadn't been shaken off, and they unexpectedly fell into another demon lair.

“This junior is disrespectful and willingly takes full responsibility, leaving himself at the mercy of his senior. My wife and daughters are unaware of this matter, and I only hope that my senior will show them mercy...”

A harsh, cackling laughter echoed through the air. “You speak of them”

A wave of poisonous mist rippled before the scholar, transforming into a water mirror that reflected the figures of his wife and daughter. The middle-aged beauty and the young girl were separated, and the young girl was already awake. Both their faces were filled with panic and helplessness.

Seeing this scene, the scholar's face tightened, and he immediately knelt down, begging: "Reporting to the seniors, they are all innocent people. Please, seniors, show mercy and don't make things difficult for them. I am willing to serve you as a cow or a horse..."

Okay!

A cold snort echoed through the air, interrupting the scholar. "You don't need to put on a show for me. Your pursuers have arrived, including that Nascent Soul demon cultivator. This old man hasn't decided how to deal with you yet, or perhaps I'll just hand you over to that Daoist friend of mine…"

“Don't, senior!”

The scholar cried out in alarm. He discovered that the island was inhabited by an old demoness, and although he had initially been somewhat cautious, he now realized that she had seen through him all along. Terrified, he hastily pleaded for mercy.

“Then I'll see what value you have, worthy of my protection,” the voice in the air paused, “Tell me your origins, and why you’ve entangled with that person outside. Make everything clear to me, do not hide even a single detail. If there is even a shred of difference between what you tell me and what you've told your wife and daughters, I will throw you out immediately.”

At this moment, Qin Sang stood directly above the Confucian scholar, looking down at him condescendingly, while the Confucian scholar remained completely oblivious.

He had observed the actions of the Confucian scholar and his wife beforehand, and the reason for doing so was not merely out of compassion.

Firstly, he didn't want his cave to be exposed too early. If these people weren't important, let them stay.

Secondly, Qin Sang happened to be short a few helpers. This shows how much this couple cares for their daughter; they are very protective of her and easily controlled.

For a period of time, he estimated that he would have to stay in the cave dwelling and cultivate diligently, but someone needed to be responsible for gathering spirit objects required for cultivation and investigating news.

One of the scholar-official couple is at the late stage of foundation building, while the other is at the middle stage.

With Qin Sang's eyesight, he could easily see that the scholar couple's martial arts were extraordinary, their true strength far exceeding what appeared on the surface.

Of course, Qin Sang will do his best.

If the two were to provoke a force that was too powerful, involving even the Nascent Soul ancestor, he would be powerless.

Although the scholar was terrified by the mysterious old demon's methods, hearing this person's words, he felt a glimmer of hope that he could save his family. He couldn't help but be both surprised and delighted.

“My husband and I were originally cultivators from Baiyan Valley in the Liefeng Archipelago. Due to an enemy, we were forced to flee into the Liefeng Archipelago. Over the years, we have been extremely cautious, hiding ourselves constantly and never harming others intentionally. Unexpectedly, our daughter went out once and was spotted by a subordinate of that demon, who discovered she possessed the Water Jade Physique and wanted to forcefully seize her as a furnace cauldron…”

The scholar's eyes flickered uncertainly, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and confessed everything, not daring to conceal anything.

"The body of a water jade"

Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly, and he let out a strange laugh. "I heard that the Water Jade Body condenses Water Jade Qi in the Qi Sea, which is particularly effective for certain magic techniques of the same attribute. No wonder there was such a commotion. Bai Yan Valley, old man has never heard of it. Now tell me clearly, the enemies you provoked before, and these people outside, what are their backgrounds"

The scholar felt a wave of relief as he heard that Qin Sang hadn't paid much attention to his daughter. He quickly said, "Baiyan Valley is just a small sect. It's normal for senior figures like you not to have heard of us. Our old enemy was an elder from the Heguang Sect. This man outside is a notorious demon in these parts, the master of Si Mo Cave and his subordinates..."lm, is certainly not exaggerating.Jing Lin retracted her smile and hesitated: "The Daoist Master didn't mention this, so I think the losses are still acceptable. By the way, the Daoist Master specific...
