Chapter 90

After seeing Zhao Yan off, Qin Sang stood in the empty valley, gazing at the fading sunset, motionless for a long time.

Zhao Yan had sternly ordered him to activate the Demon Eye and explore all the changes in the Huiyang Valley formation within two months.

In other words, the peaceful time would last at most two months.

Fortunately, his cultivation of the Song Family Sword Technique had never been interrupted, and he was about to break through. Once he comprehended the sword qi, it would be his strongest support.

Qin Sang stood there for a long time, then suddenly took out the Bi Bo Sword from his storage bag, flew around to survey the Huiyang Valley, and finally came to the river at the bottom of the valley. He jumped into the river and began to slash at a hidden stone wall at the bottom.

Qin Sang planned to build a shelter at the bottom of the river to hide from the fierce battle after the formation was broken.

Although he did not understand the various formations of cultivators, he could use the mechanisms of the mortal world, combined with the cover of the river, to hide the shelter.

He had read countless secret texts at the Blood Robe Tower and learned several practical mechanisms. As long as it was not a high-level cultivator using divine sense to search inch by inch, it would be difficult to discover the mechanism.

Over the past two months, Qin Sang had revised the plan several times, refining various details, and finally completed the shelter.

Suddenly, the formation at the valley entrance was triggered. Qin Sang flew out of his cave, his face thoughtful. He did not directly open the large formation but returned to his cave to set up the Confusion Mirror to prevent Zhao Yan from turning on him.

After setting up the contingency plan, Qin Sang opened the large formation at the valley entrance. He found Yu Hua, whom he had not seen for a long time, and a chill ran through his heart. If Yu Hua wanted to kill him, he had no means to resist!

"Qin Sang greets Uncle Yu."

Qin Sang suppressed his unease and bowed to Yu Hua.

Yu Hua nodded slightly and impatiently asked, "Is it done?"

Qin Sang nodded, "I have not failed the mission."

As soon as he summoned the Demon Eye, Yu Hua immediately grabbed it, his divine sense probing inside. After a moment, he exclaimed joyfully, "Haha... Nephew Qin, you have not let me down!"

Then, Qin Sang felt the connection between the Demon Eye and himself severed. He felt a sudden tension, but also a sense of relief.

Yu Hua put away the Demon Eye and said to Qin Sang, "Leave a voice talisman to confuse the others, and follow me. You don't need to stay in Huiyang Valley anymore."

Qin Sang was stunned. He was relieved that Yu Hua did not turn on him, but he had no intention of returning to Kuoyin Sect.

He did not have a deep-seated concept of good and evil, but over the past year, except for the threat from Kuoyin Sect hanging over his head like a sword, his life had been very peaceful.

All he wanted was to find a cultivation sect and cultivate in peace, not to live in constant fear.

For the sake of his life, he would rather be a wandering cultivator than return to Kuoyin Sect.

This thought crossed his mind, and he worried, "If we leave now, what if Brother Meng and the others come? It might not be long before they find out..."

Yu Hua sneered, "The Yu Zhao Sect is about to be gone. What is there to hide?"

Qin Sang felt a chill. Following Yu Hua's instructions, he returned to his cave and put away the Confusion Mirror. Before leaving, he looked back at the shelter he had carefully set up, his face tinged with a hint of self-mockery.

Yu Hua's cave was on Muyang Peak. Qin Sang followed him inside and found three others there. One was Ruan Nanfeng, who had entered Yu Zhao Sect with him, and the other two were a man and a woman, both wearing the clothes of servant disciples, whom Qin Sang had never seen before.

These two might have been infiltrated earlier.

Kuoyin Sect must have more people planted in Yu Zhao Sect. Why were there only three?

Qin Sang was secretly puzzled when he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. He secretly used the Qi-Viewing Technique and found that all three had the same cultivation as him, at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage!

Yu Hua nodded to the anxious Zhao Yan, his gaze sweeping over Qin Sang and the others. He said in a deep voice, "Wu Liuyue and the others have already been secretly sent out of Yu Zhao Sect. The reason you were left behind is because your cultivation is the highest, and there is one more task that you need to help Nephew Zhao with. If you can complete this task, you will have accomplished a great feat. Not only will you receive a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward, but the Sect Master has also promised to personally take you as disciples."

The four looked at each other in surprise.

Qin Sang was even more stunned. He had been working hard to cultivate to have a better chance of survival when fleeing, but he never expected that he would be tying himself up, putting himself in an even more dangerous whirlpool.

The Foundation Establishment Pill and becoming a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator were indeed very tempting, but he needed to have the life to take them.

Kuoyin Sect already knew all the changes in Yu Zhao Sect's protective formation. They only needed to launch a strong attack to break it. A Golden Core cultivator could destroy him with a snap of their fingers. What could he do?

Yu Hua did not intend to explain further and had them sit down to cultivate.

Nothing happened that night.

In the dead of the next night, Yu Hua suddenly left. Zhao Yan gave each of them a jade waistplate, his tone cold, "Follow me. Without my order, anyone who dares to make a sound or move will be killed immediately. Do you understand?"

Qin Sang and the others looked at each other, none daring to object.

Zhao Yan smiled contemptuously and moved his lips slightly.

Suddenly, a series of惨叫声 echoed through the cave. Qin Sang and the other three clutched their heads, rolling on the ground and wailing.

Qin Sang had already practiced this action countless times in private. Even without inflicting such severe injuries on himself, he could still make it look almost real.

The four had no color in their faces, and they staggered to their feet, their eyes still filled with intense fear.

Zhao Yan said coolly, "I just wanted to show you that with a single thought, I can control your lives. We are from the same sect, so don't force me to take action. As long as you follow my orders obediently, you will not lack benefits."

"Yes!"

...

Qin Sang and the others put on the waistplates and obediently followed Zhao Yan, flying all the way to the front of Yu Zhao Peak.

To come here at this time.

Qin Sang followed uneasily. He had been confined in Huiyang Valley and had been blocked by Zhao Yan every time he tried to leave. This was the first time he had been so close to Yu Zhao Peak.

The sky was dark, with no stars or moon, pitch black.

The mountain peak cast a huge shadow in the darkness, its top invisible. There were a few spots of light on the mountain, and Qin Sang remembered that the top was where the Supreme Patriarch was in seclusion, and other places were also forbidden areas of the sect.

At the foot of Yu Zhao Peak was a large lake, surrounded by three peaks in a protective formation. The Sect Master's Hall was on one of the peaks, known as the Sect Master Peak.

As they approached the Sect Master Peak, two beams of light appeared ahead, flying towards them, and a voice called out, "Who is it?"

Zhao Yan immediately signaled to stop.

The two beams of light approached them, revealing the figures of two young men.

Thank you all for your support with donations and votes. I will post another chapter later, probably around midnight.

I write too slowly, almost compulsively. It takes me three hours to write and revise a chapter, and sometimes I am not satisfied and even delete the entire chapter, which has happened more than once. When I read books before, I never realized how difficult it is to write them.

I cannot guarantee three updates a day, but I will try my best. Two updates a day will be the minimum, and I will do three if possible.
