A life of idleness in the world of demons

Chapter 90, 89. Fishing with Bait, the Cunning Old Monster (8.1K words - Long chapter, please vote)
The wind and sand whipped up dust and smoke, battering the walls of an ancient city called "Fire Seeking City" in the Western Regions. Inside the city was a market selling spices, animal teeth, and some strange fruits.

Tall soldiers with scimitars and large beards patrolled the streets.

There are many bandits in the desert, so we need to be on guard.

On the higher rooftops, women dressed in colorful gauze, exuding exotic charm, peered down through the windows, too afraid to open them.

In such places, beauty is also a form of wealth, and easily revealing it could bring disaster and trouble unless this wealth has already been controlled by the powerful.

This has always been the case.

But today, things are a little different.

The streets became lively.

More than ten young and strong people from the Central Plains took to the streets and came to a high platform.

An old man in brocade robes was shouting something in a gibberish.

Two people were sitting on a desolate city wall in the distance, one of them sitting on an abandoned watchtower.

"Do you understand?" the General of Qingzhou asked.

Ning Xuan nodded.

When he was a playboy, he had learned some Western Region languages ​​in order to tease Western Region dancers and singers. In addition, with the fusion of Yin Souls, he could easily absorb some knowledge from the divine soul. So after merging with the divine soul of a dying sand bandit, he could naturally understand it.

Those dozen or so young men were disciples of the Five Poisons Sect, and their strength was basically all at the second rank.

After enduring countless setbacks and becoming homeless, he was first betrayed by two village chiefs and his fellow disciples. Then, after a year of hardship, he lost "Grandma Han Tan" Han Yin, and then lost two chosen leaders, "A Sui" and "Han Yao".
They were disheartened and dejected.

These dozen or so young men didn't want to follow the main group deeper into the Western Regions anymore, so they wanted to find a wife in this seemingly decent ancient city, settle down, and start a new life.

Most people in Huoxun City didn't recognize them, but this area had always been secretly controlled by the Five Poisons Sect. Naturally, there were elders in the city who knew their identities and how much security their involvement would provide to the city.

Therefore, the city's powerful and wealthy are now doing everything they can to gather beauties, hoping to hold a super-large-scale talent show.

Of course, this talent show in the bustling city is only the preliminary round.

If you can't find a beauty here, there are plenty more to come.

The Qingzhou general looked disgusted and snorted coldly, "They're all a bunch of cowardly cowards. How glorious was the Five Poisons Sect in the past? How come all that's left are these cowards?"

Ning Xuan said, "If one doesn't reach the fourth rank, one is ultimately just a mortal. But what difference does it make how a mortal lives?"

They simply chose not to fight and kill anymore, and they chose not to bear the destiny of their sect.

The second rank is a realm where one is neither coveted nor lacks the ability to protect oneself.

The general of Qingzhou shook his head, disagreeing with Ning Xuan's statement.

He said angrily, "Before I came here, I was still hesitating about whether or not I should let you take the Poisonous Yuan Human Skin."

But now, I think you should take it. Your power has deep roots in the Five Poisons Sect; the Poisonous Essence Human Metamorphosis should be in your hands, not in the hands of these spineless cowards.

He looked up at the dim, hazy sky.

Sand and stones flew in the distance.

He said, "Actually, ever since I was expelled, for so many years, a full 160 years, I've always wanted to return to the Five Poisons Sect. But now..."

Ning Xuan remained silent.

This ancient city was not their first stop.

These dozen or so Five Poisons Sect disciples were not the first group of disciples they encountered who wanted to back down.

Before that, he and the Qingzhou general had encountered disciples who had fallen into the trap of sand bandits, disciples who had joined forces to seize tribes, and so on.

These people, like monkeys scattered after a tree falls, have lost all cohesion.

The dozen or so people who want to settle down in the ancient city are actually quite law-abiding; otherwise, they could easily disregard the rules, join forces to control and enslave the city.

On the high platform, the old man in brocade robes was still shouting.

"Girls, these warriors are all capable of killing an ox with a single punch, and they are as brave as a thousand soldiers. They are hermits in the desert, and also kings of the desert."

Even the strongest warriors, hermits, and kings have their moments of exhaustion and need for comfort. Now it's up to you, the best girls, to step out and embrace the world.

"Follow them, and your destiny will be forever changed."

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted at the old man in brocade robes, "Master Aguna, if you married any one of them, could you compare to one of your household stewards?"

The old man in brocade robes was taken aback, then nearly jumped up in fright.

He knew of the existence of the Five Poisons Sect at that time.

At this moment, he bowed deeply and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "If I were to marry any one of them, I would at least be better off than this old man with half his body buried in the ground."

After saying this, still worried, he turned to the dozen or so Five Poisons Sect disciples and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, this old man actually has two daughters at home. If you like any of them, you can marry them. From now on, all my possessions will be yours."

After he finished speaking, the surrounding area fell silent.

The old man named Aguna knew the identity of the Five Poisons Sect, but there were others who did not.

Immediately someone shouted, "Sir, this won't do!"

The old man in brocade robes shouted sternly, "Shut up!"

As he spoke, he smiled obsequiously at the martial artists.

In the crowd and on the high-rise buildings, the beautiful women who had been observing suddenly became excited, putting on their most beautiful clothes and best jewelry, and began to go on "blind dates".

However, some people had a cold, calculating look in their eyes, clearly unaware of the power of these martial artists. For wealth and profit, they wanted to eliminate these unexpected obstacles.

Among the martial artists standing on the high platform, one had a glint in his eye and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Just then, a laugh that was "neither laughing nor crying" came from above.
Everyone looked up and saw a man in hemp clothing with a thick beard sitting on a high place, it was unclear whether he was laughing or crying.

He cried and wailed, acting as if he were going mad.

He turned around, and a gust of wind swept across the sky, the sand blinding him, but when it dispersed, it had vanished without a trace.

Two more people were added to the desert.

Two silent travelers.

The General of Qingzhou looked utterly disappointed.

He didn't say it, but Ning Xuan understood.

This general likely has a strong obsession with the "Five Poisons Sect".

A 160-year-old obsession cannot be changed.

But now, what he is witnessing is the destruction of the Five Poisons Sect.

Those disciples scattered throughout the ancient city will soon be drawn into the small circle of that Western Region ancient city. In that circle, they will fight and kill, integrate into new interest groups, and have new identities. Compared to these new identities, the identity of the Five Poisons Sect disciples has completely faded away.

People are gone.

The Five Poisons Sect is gone.

The Five Poisons Sect naturally disappeared as well.

More terrifying than not being able to go home or not being accepted by family is losing your home and your family.

This great general... can never go back.

Ning Xuan did not comfort him.

The General of Qingzhou was also acting crazy, laughing and crying all the way, and then calmly said as if nothing had happened, "Please excuse my rudeness."

Ning Xuan said, "No."

The Qingzhou General said, "There aren't many people left. The Poisonous Yuan Human Shell is in their hands. When you see it, go and take it. The Poisonous Yuan Human Shell is the inheritance of the Five Poisons Sect, so it's better if it's in your hands."

He had said similar things before, but they were just hesitant words spoken in anger. Now he is truly disheartened.

Ning Xuan said, "Okay."

Tracking them was not difficult for either of them.

Soon, they met the remaining fifty or so disciples of the Five Poisons Sect.

Those disciples who made it this far, whether or not they still harbored ulterior motives, were at least much more virtuous and resolute than the disciples who came before them.

However, when Ning Xuan and the General of Qingzhou saw them, they were fleeing.

They fled in a daze, like stray dogs.

They fled across the golden desert, looking utterly disheveled.

They didn't even run in the same direction; instead, they scattered and fled, some even rolling and tumbling in fear.

The General of Qingzhou landed, stopped a man, and asked, "What happened?"

"Get out of my way!" The disciple swung his arm, revealing scales growing on it, and threw a powerful punch.

Snapped!
The General of Qingzhou slapped him across the face and angrily rebuked him, "Have you lost your mind!"

The disciple was sent spinning through the air by the blow, then collapsed to the ground, clutching his face in terror as he cried out, "Spare me! Spare me!"

The General of Qingzhou suddenly became furious. He kicked out, sending the disciple flying through the air. Then, he stretched out his bear-like body, grabbed the disciple's collar in mid-air, and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"

The disciple, terrified, stammered, "The Great Yin Ghost, and Lord Qin Shan. Lord Qin Shan came to steal the Poisonous Yuan Human Shell, and after he took it, the Great Yin Ghost appeared. That's all."

"roll!"

The Qingzhou general threw him aside and looked at Ning Xuan. Suddenly, the flesh and blood of his body began to twist, and he quickly transformed from a bearded man into a pale-faced, beardless, and sinister middle-aged man.

However, this appearance clearly gave Ning Xuan a sense of disharmony in his blood and energy; he could tell at a glance that this was not his original appearance, but that was all. It was more than enough to conceal his identity.

"It's a pity about Old Qin. He became a follower of the Black Heaven Bodhisattva. He should have been eyeing this Poison Yuan Human Body when he was in the Mountain Mo Sect, but he couldn't get it back then."

Now, he's launched a surprise attack, coming back to seize the opportunity. However, he didn't kill these disciples, which suggests he might still have some lingering affection for them.

As for this Yin Ghost, it probably knew that someone else was still after the Poisonous Yuan Human's molted body, so it waited here to fish for him, and just happened to catch Old Qin.

The Qingzhou general analyzed the situation before him, and then his eyes began to brighten and turn cold.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then jumped up and down a few times, excitedly saying, "It's been so long since I've released myself."

Then he prepared to rush over.

Before rushing forward, he glanced at the senior figure beside him.

He was stunned when he saw it.

Because it seems that Senior Gu has no intention of moving forward; in fact, he is planning to retreat.

"Senior Gu?"

General Shi Tianqing of Qingzhou spoke in a strange tone, with a hint of doubt and skepticism.

Ning Xuan said, "Run."

After saying that word, he really ran away.

Shi Tianqing was an old man of over 180 years old, and he was quite obedient. When he saw Ning Xuan run away, he ran away too.

The two ran for over a hundred miles in one go, returning to the Fireseeker City they had previously visited.

In the city, the "blind date scene" has turned into a "competition".

On the arena, a martial artist was easily pressing down on a giant man with his palm. The giant man was sweating profusely and kept admitting defeat. Clearly, the Five Poisons Sect disciples had not gained the approval of some local powerful figures and were currently being harassed. But soon, those who were causing trouble would be defeated.

Shi Tianqing was too ashamed to watch this scene. He simply looked at Ning Xuan and growled, "Why are you running?"

Ning Xuan said, "More than a month ago, a Rank 4 early-stage corpse-stitching ghost was lost here, and I also showed myself once."

Shi Tianqing may have a bad temper, but he's not brainless.

If a Taiyin Ghost of the early fourth rank had ever been lost here, then Zixia Temple would never send another one of the early fourth rank. The beings here now are most likely those they cannot afford to offend.

He was at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, but lacked the "life-establishing treasure" to break through.

A hundred years ago, the "life-sustaining treasures" of the ancient sects were divided up by the Taiyin Ghosts and demons, so much so that in the past hundred years, the late stage of the fourth rank has become a luxury for all martial artists.

However, among the Taiyin Ghosts, there was more than one who had reached the late stage of the fourth rank.

The one lying in ambush here now is very likely a late-stage fourth-rank cultivator.
Of course, there are different levels of strength even among those at the late fourth rank, and Ruan Qingzhu was one of the stronger ones.

Regardless of their strength, they are not people they can afford to provoke.

Shi Tianqing immediately fell silent and said, "You think this is a trap?"

Ning Xuan said, "Is the Black Heaven Bodhisattva currently cooperating with the Purple Cloud Temple?"

Shi Tianqing said, "It should be, but I'm not entirely sure; the situation is too chaotic right now."

Ning Xuan said, "Even the Black Heaven Bodhisattva, in this spread of faith in another world, probably didn't manage to find many native-born fourth-rank martial artists like Qin Shanjun, who appear to be using demon-devouring pills but are actually cultivating their own skills, right?"

"Correct."

"Shouldn't Qin Shanjun be given an important position?"

"Should."

"It's not impossible that Qin Shanjun could cooperate with Zixia to put on a show, to lure me in and then hook you up, isn't it?"

After all, Qin Shanjun was once a martial artist, and a good one at that. He always naturally possessed a certain trustworthiness.

For example, you would still call him Lao Qin.

Shi Tianqing looked at him strangely, then said, "I'm really starting to believe you're an old monster, because you really resemble one of my sect's grandmasters. Every time there's a big battle, just as we're about to charge in, that grandmaster always shouts 'Wait!'"

As he spoke, he muttered to himself a few more times, "Wait, wait, only old people always have 'wait' on their lips!"

Ning Xuan said, "Aren't you almost two hundred years old too?"

Shi Tianqing said, "In the eyes of old monsters like you and my grandmaster, I'm still a child, aren't I? Senior Gu!"

Ning Xuan said, "Unfortunately, I've forgotten everything. I can't remember anything."

Shi Tianqing said, "Even if you can't remember, the ancient scent on you can't be dispelled. You must have lived for many years and experienced many things, and then somehow you became like this."

Ning Xuan said, "Let's wait a bit."

Shi Tianqing said, "Old monster, sometimes your ideas aren't always right."

This Qingzhou general was clearly not the same person as Granny Hantan. He was rebellious and extreme, and the more he realized that Ning Xuan was an old monster, the less respect he showed.

Ning Xuan said, "Oh, then General Shi can go first."

Shi Tianqing said, "Old monster, I'm not going! Stop trying to provoke me!"

He questioned it verbally, but his actions betrayed him, because Ning Xuan's analysis was indeed very reasonable.

Ning Xuan knew that if it really was a trap, then it would last for a very long time.
However, he really needed that Poisonous Yuan Human Molt.

The boost a single Poisonous Yuan Human Molt could bring him was immense.

So, his gaze swept across the city of Xunhuo and landed on a place where people were singing and dancing, surrounded by beautiful women.

He suggested, "Shall we go for a drink?"

Shi Tianqing followed his gaze and read, "Rose Garden? No, I am still a virgin."

The senior is quite the charming and debonair one. Having lost his memory and finding himself in such a dangerous place, he still thinks about drinking and carousing; he must have quite a few female companions.

"Is General Shi still a virgin?" Ning Xuan asked in surprise.

In fact, he just wanted to go drinking; he didn't intend to sleep with women or use a possessed body for that purpose. He wasn't that wild.
Shi Tianqing said, "It's convenient for practicing martial arts and powerful in combat. Otherwise, how do you think I could have fused the six energies?"

After saying that, he said, "Let's make this clear first, I'm helping you today for two reasons. First, because you should be a senior of my Five Poisons Sect. Second, because you helped Senior Sister Han collect her body, but you refused to eat the beef I cooked. That favor is still owed to you."

Ning Xuan said, "Okay."

Shi Tianqing said, "However, since we can't afford to offend them, why should we keep them around?"

Ning Xuan laughed and said, "Although we can't afford to offend them, they can't afford to waste time either. So many things are waiting for them. How long can they stay here fishing? Qin Shanjun really needs the Poison Yuan Human Sheath. Let's try to bait him. If he doesn't take the bait, then it's over. At that time, there might be an opportunity to make a move."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianqing immediately started cursing and then said, "You and my sect's ancestor must get along very well. You're birds of a feather, both old monsters."

Ning Xuan asked, "What is your clan's name?"

Shi Tianqing said, "After being expelled from the sect, what righteous sect would accept me? Of course, it would be the Demonic Sect."

Have you ever heard of the Weiling Demon Sect?

Ning Xuan shook his head.

Immediately, both of them fell silent.

They didn't go to the Rose Garden, but instead sat amidst the yellow sands of the ancient city.

As the sandstorm swept in, it gradually turned them into two sand people.
Gradually, it turned into a sand dune.

dune.

Until it is completely submerged.

Yang energy is drawn inward, and the breath is sealed off.

"flower."

"Gah."

"flower!"

"Gah~"

As dusk fell and spring rain pattered down, Lu Xuezhi held Xiao Xuanxue in her arms as they admired the pear blossoms, while Yun Yi, holding Xiao Tianhu, joined them in appreciating the flowers.

The two women are teaching the child about the world together.

When the ghost Ning Xuan returned from fishing, he skillfully tossed the fish basket into the dining hall and then hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

After taking a few steps, he heard Lan Yu's voice beside him.

"It seems like my son-in-law hasn't been working hard lately."

Ning Xuan paused in his tracks.

The old man Lan Yu said, "There hasn't been any progress for a long time, has there? If you've encountered any problems, feel free to tell this old servant."

Ning Xuan continued walking forward, and when he reached the courtyard, he took Xiao Xuanxue and gently tossed her in the air.

Xiao Xuanxue danced with excitement, while Xiao Tianhu watched enviously from the side.

Ning Xuan laughed heartily, walked over, and said, "Sister-in-law, allow me to weigh my nephew's abilities."

Yun Yi smiled and handed it over.

Because of the chaos caused by demons, the two families never separated their residences and lived together. Now, the sister-in-law and Ning Xuan were familiar with each other, so she handed her son to him.

Ning Xuan picked up his nephew again and carefully tossed him up and down.

Xuanxue, who was standing next to her, was unhappy and frowned.

Ning Xuan then switched to his own daughter.

The sister-in-law laughed and said, "I'm angry, I'm angry, Heaven is protecting me."

Ning Xuan simply picked up both children and threw them away together.

Laughter began to fill the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Elder Lan Yu and Granny Qin glanced around, walked away silently, and then began to communicate through the whispering chain.

"It seems he has given up."

"He has probably tried several times already, and his yang energy is almost completely depleted. He probably has no way to break through to the fourth rank."

"Heh heh heh heh, so it's not his turn to work for the Empress."

After several confirmations, the two "people" no longer took Ning Xuan seriously and started discussing other matters.

"Something big has happened."

"You mean that thing in the desert?"

"The Corpse-Sewing Demon has been driven back to the Yin Ghost Realm. It has lost all its power. The one who did it was an old woman who was on her last legs and was a remnant of the Five Poisons Sect."

"Are you kidding me? There was another mysterious powerhouse who actually cooperated in the operation. Before the Corpse-Stitching Demon died, he transmitted all the images to the Whisper Chain. Tsk tsk tsk, twelve golden patterns forming a lotus. A prodigy of this level shouldn't still be in this world."

Because the Yin ghost lives a long time, it also has a long memory.

"However, that mysterious expert should not have recovered yet, otherwise he wouldn't have run away from the Empress."

"The temple will definitely set up an assassination plot against him; this time, at least an elder will be involved."

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

A little over a month is enough time for changes to occur among the powerful and influential in Fireseeker City.

Those disheveled Five Poisons Sect disciples were like wolves among sheep here.

They indulged in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, pulling down the powerful and wealthy from the upper echelons one by one, and then climbing back up themselves. Now they have become the new lords of Fireseeker City.

The world changes constantly, like a dreamlike ocean.

But the two figures in the sand remained unchanged.

They were enveloped in yang energy, quietly waiting and sensing the outside world.

Within a hundred miles, Huoxun City quickly discovered the dark and gloomy scene in the distance. Their conversation would allow Ning Xuan and Shi Tianqing in the sand to understand the situation.

On the fishing boat.

The spirit Ning Xuan was still fishing within the light barrier.

But today, he suddenly had an idea, a decision.

He decided to let the Yin Spirit break through to the fourth rank.

Countless attempts have led to his repeated successes in his nightmares.

Once he's decided to do it, he's determined to do it no matter what.

As the fishing boat bobbed on the waves, the figure of the ghostly Ning Xuan became increasingly ethereal and elusive.
Especially when he was in the confined cabin of a fishing boat, he was almost transparent.

Several days later.
"Forty-five days have passed. As agreed, I'm taking this Poisonous Yuan Human Shell." Qin Shanjun reached out and grabbed the colorful jade stone beside him, then respectfully bowed to a little girl on the yellow sand not far away. "Elder Si, this junior takes his leave."

He wouldn't be fooled by appearances.

This little girl has a terrifying Yin ghost hiding inside her body.

The little girl is drawing.

She was so engrossed in her painting that she didn't even glance at Qin Shanjun as he said goodbye; she simply sat quietly on her easel and continued painting.

Her portrait is a mirror, reflecting everything in the desert before her eyes.

If you look closely, you'll find that they are almost identical, and even Qin Shanjun and the five-colored jade are lifelike.

Seeing that the little girl did not respond, Qin Shanjun gripped the five-colored jade stone tightly, bowed respectfully, and then slowly walked away.

After traveling more than ten miles, he suddenly accelerated.

Bang!
As the yellow sand billowed up, he sped away.

After the yellow sand, there was still more yellow sand.

Sand dunes, countless sand dunes as far as the eye can see.

Just then, Qin Shanjun saw someone on the sand dunes not far away.

A little girl is drawing on her easel.

Qin Shanjun was stunned for a moment. He stopped running and gritted his teeth, pulling out a black jade statue from his sleeve.

The statue wore a dark red hood, sat cross-legged on a lotus pedestal, with the backs of its hands clasped together and fingers spreading out lotus flowers, displaying a mysterious and dignified appearance.

It was none other than the Bodhisattva Mijutsu Krishna.

The little girl in the distance didn't even look at him; she simply scribbled on the drawing board, and instantly, Qin Shanjun's face began to change, transforming into a snow-white fox head.

The fox's face was filled with wariness and fear.

This was clearly a Mystic Fox.

"Don't try these tricks next time. They're pointless and insincere."

The little girl, who was called Elder Si, immediately saw through his disguise.

The Mysterious Fox hurriedly said, "The Great Bodhisattva has already brought Lord Qin Shan back to the Incense World, but he is still willing to cooperate, so he sent me. I guarantee that although I am only a third-rank, they cannot see through my transformation techniques."

Elder Si said, "Let's go."

Xuan Yinhu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly grabbed the five-colored jade stone, and turned to leave.

It ran quickly towards Leizhou.

Even so, it could still sense a faint, lingering yin energy following it.
However, this hidden fox was not surprised.

It came under orders, its purpose being to cooperate with Zixia Temple to catch a big fish.

It didn't know what kind of big fish it was.
Zixia Temple did not share this secret.

It was merely cooperating.

Although it has been released, the fishing is not over yet.

This process is likely to take a long time.

Because the elder did sense someone was coming, but that person hid so quickly that it only realized it belatedly. So it waited, but the other person kept hiding.

Just consume it.

At this moment, Xuan Yinhu maintained Qin Shanjun's appearance and ran quickly.

The more it ran, the more surprised it became.

Because, almost every time it runs a certain distance, it can feel a bit of yin energy.

It knew that not all of these were Yin ghosts; some were ghost servants.

It became increasingly curious: what kind of big fish was it trying to catch that required such a grand display?
after one day
It is already close to the edge of the desert.

However, the chilling feeling behind it never stopped.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind it.

The voice sounded eerily in its ear.

"Wait a moment."

Xuan Yinhu knew it was a Taiyin Ghost, so he stopped and glanced at what was in front of him.

Sure enough, there was a dark, ghostly figure in the air, its menacing appearance vaguely discernible.

A strong yin energy is emanating from it.

At the early stage of the fourth rank, he was already a high-ranking figure in the Zixia Temple.

After the arrival of this Yin ghost, the surrounding Yin energy seemed to realize that the void here had been filled, so they all parted and went to patrol elsewhere.

Xuan Yinhu asked with even greater respect, "May I ask what guidance you have, esteemed master?"

The ghostly figure said in a hoarse voice, "Quickly take out the Poison Yuan Human Sheath!"

Xuan Yinhu was taken aback.

The ghostly figure urged anxiously, "Hurry! It's too late!!"

If the ghost were to give a reason, the Mysterious Fox would have to think it over. But since the other party was just urging it, the Mysterious Fox didn't dare to delay. Besides, it didn't think the other party would value such a treasure that only Qin Shanjun could use.

The Mysterious Fox chanted incantations, took a piece of five-colored jade from the statue of Mahakala, and a piece of jade appeared in its palm.

There is actually a hidden space inside this Bodhisattva statue.

Xuan Yinhu asked, "May I ask, Master Gao, what is the problem with this human molt?"

The ghostly figure shouted sharply, "This is..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly began to change. In an instant, he transformed into a bright and shining child, with twelve red lotuses growing from his eyebrows. His innocent eyes were filled with divine indifference, gleaming with golden light that was dazzling and hard to look directly at.

As soon as the Red Lotus Child appeared, he suddenly rushed forward and lightly patted "Lord Qin Shan" on the chest.

This is a method to force the other side to "show up and fight".

If there is yin energy in the body, it will be stimulated and released.

If it is yang energy, unless it can withstand the opponent, it will be forced out of the body.

Once you reach the fourth rank of the Life Establishment Realm, cultivation is no longer confined to the body, but rather to the soul.

The soul is the secret to immortality.

'I'm sorry, Qin, we're in different positions and on different sides, so sentimentality is useless. I can't hold back anymore!' Ning Xun silently said to himself, but today he had no choice but to kill Qin Shanjun. He couldn't leave behind any future troubles because of his soft heart.

He tricked Qin Shanjun into stopping by using his high-level Yin Soul, took out the Poisonous Yuan Human Molt, and then used the Twin Curse to replace it with the Yang Soul, instantly making his move.

Attack with all your strength.

Bang! !

Just as Qin Shanjun had once blasted his soul out of his body, Qin Shanjun's soul also flew out of that strong body. Unfortunately, after flying out of the body, it revealed its true form, which was a snow-white fox.

The fox was watching in horror this magical, transformative scene.
Ning Xuan met the fox's horrified gaze.

'Pure Yang Furnace.'

The Yang Soul Body instantly expanded, transforming into a blazing sun, which placed the fox inside.

The true flames of the ninth and fifth blaze rapidly.

The moment the blazing sun appeared, it exploded in a burst of light on the remote edge of the desert, then quickly contracted, burning the fox's soul within to ashes.

A wisp of incense smoke drifted slowly out, rising into the blue sky on the gentle breeze.

Ning Xuan looked at the wisp of incense, then suddenly blew on it. Red clouds drifted out and wrapped around the incense, but the incense was not burned out.

Ning Xuan's face hardened, and the red lotus between his brows ignited completely as he spat out another mouthful of fire, disregarding the energy expenditure.

The incense finally went out.

He quickly collected the fallen Poison Yuan Human Shell and entered Leizhou territory at top speed. After easily possessing a demon, he entered the pass and then, carrying the only two inheritance treasures of the Five Poisons Sect, stayed in a small house for a few days. After wandering around and making sure that there were no followers, he headed towards Xinghe County.

In the sand dunes, Shi Tianqing was still waiting.

He felt something crouching around him outside the sand.

He could sense the other person's presence, but he just didn't know where they were.
He could only further suppress his breathing.

He's just waiting it out.

The other side is also holding out.

They just kept dragging each other along like that.

Several days later.
On a fishing boat in Xinghe County, Ning Xuan picked up the sloughed human body of the Poison Yuan delivered the night before, looked into the distance, and said with a hint of apology, "General Shi, you've worked hard."

More than a month later
Elder Si finally stopped drawing. She stood up and muttered, "I hate these cunning and patient old monsters the most."

P.S.: Requesting votes for next month at the beginning of the month, thank you!
