Chapter 1383 Arrival at the Chaotic Star Sea
"Good! Very good!" Wang Chan's handsome face was twisted with anger and astonishment, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Qin Hao: "To be able to kill Black Bone in an instant, you scum of the Qingxu Sect, you have made this young master look at you with new eyes!"
Qin Hao sneered and said to Han Li and Nangong Wan, "Leave Wang Chan to me. The two of you working together should be fine dealing with one, right?"
"Hmph, be careful. This junior's martial arts are very strange, and he won't be easy to deal with." Nangong Wan's gaze was cold, but her tone was gentler.
Wang Chan felt slighted and shouted angrily, "How dare you speak so arrogantly! This young master will see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
After saying that, he suddenly patted the storage bag at his waist, and a dazzling golden light shot into the sky!
A skull-shaped talisman, about the size of a palm and made entirely of pure gold, radiating a strong ghostly power, floated in the air, its eye sockets sunken like the entrance to the Netherworld.
"Go!" Wang Chan shouted fiercely! The ghostly blue flames in the golden skull's eye sockets suddenly erupted, not attacking the physical body, but transforming into two extremely vicious fire lines, heading straight for Qin Hao's brow and sea of consciousness! "Soul-Devouring Yin Fire"—specifically targeting the primordial spirit, extremely vicious!
Faced with the spiritual attack of "Soul-Devouring Yin Fire", Qin Hao frantically activated the "Great Evolution Technique" to condense his spiritual sense into a colorless shield in his sea of consciousness.
"Boom!" An invisible shockwave exploded! Qin Hao groaned, his face turned deathly pale, and veins bulged on his forehead, but he managed to withstand the attack of the "Soul-Devouring Yin Fire".
"How is this possible? How can your divine sense be so powerful?" Wang Chan was shocked. This golden skull talisman was transformed from the natal magic weapon of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Since obtaining it, he had used it on several Core Formation cultivators, and no one had ever been able to escape unscathed from the divine sense attack of "Soul Devouring Yin Fire".
"Now it's my turn!" Qin Hao sneered, patted his storage bag, and ten "Golden Blade Storm Talismans" were instantly activated, whistling sharply and stirring up dust as they attacked Wang Chan.
"A mere trick!" Wang Chan's eyes were full of disdain as she changed her hand seals. The golden skull's mouth suddenly opened wide, and a terrifying suction force was generated out of nowhere, like a whale sucking in water, swallowing the raging torrent of wind blades into its mouth!
"Sizzle... sizzle..." A teeth-grinding burning sound came from inside the skull, where eerie blue flames surged, frantically refining and dissipating the talisman's spiritual power.
"Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, and I'll make sure you die a worthy death!" Wang Chan sneered, forming a sinister hand seal before slamming her hands into the ground!
"Magma Demon! Come out!"
Boom! The earth trembled, cracking open a huge fissure from which scorching magma erupted! A ferocious giant demon, three zhang tall and covered in molten, dark red magma, roared and crawled out, its eyes as red as a furnace.
"Roar!" The Magma Demon slammed its fist, accompanied by a scorching wave of air, toward the Ink Dragon Boat. At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of crimson magma, burning the void!
"Reverse the Five Elements, Trapped!" Qin Hao was prepared, and the array flag he held in his left hand was instantly flung out! The mysterious array light screen suddenly rose up, enveloping the roaring Heavenly Ghost along with the sea of fire! The magma Heavenly Ghost crashed into the array wall with a roar, fell into an illusion, and began to blindly bombard the surrounding array wall.
The two sides clashed extremely quickly. Just as the Reversed Five Elements Formation was activated, a barely perceptible black light shot out from the ground, fast as a ghost and silent! It was the top-quality magic weapon that had just instantly killed "Black Bone"—the Ink Dragon Poison Fang Dagger!
"Fool!" Wang Chan's lips curled into a cruel sneer: "Trying to use the same trick twice? Heavenly Ghost, seize it!"
He had witnessed the dagger kill Black Bone with his own eyes, how could he not be on guard? With his divine command, the magma demon trapped in the illusion array suddenly stretched out its huge lava hand and grabbed at the air with perfect precision!
"Pfft!" The Ink Dragon Poison Fang Dagger was firmly grasped by the giant hand burning with magma and extremely hot! The Ink Dragon's deadly poison on the dagger made a "sizzling" sound when it came into contact with the magma, and white smoke rose up. Not only did it fail to harm Wang Chan's body in the slightest, but it was also burned by the lava, and its spiritual light was greatly damaged.
However, Qin Hao was not in a hurry at all. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Who says that the same trick won't work if used twice?!"
"Blow it up!"
With a sudden clench of his hand seals!
The tip of the venomous dagger, gripped tightly by the magma demon, suddenly emitted a blinding crimson light! Hidden within it were ten tightly stacked "Explosive Flame Talismans."
Boom boom boom——!!!!
A deafening explosion erupted in the palm of the magma demon!
The extremely violent fire elemental power and the destructive shockwave were perfectly unleashed!
The magma demon's enormous lava hand was the first to be hit, shattering like fragile glass in the point-blank explosion! A violent shockwave of flames spread wildly along its arm, instantly tearing apart and melting half of its magma-covered body! The powerful demon, comparable to a pseudo-core cultivator, let out an extremely shrill wail. Its core demonic energy was instantly incinerated by the raging flames, and its massive, mountain-like body collapsed and disintegrated, turning into a pile of scalding rubble and dissipating yin energy!
puff--! ! !
Wang Chan was struck by a massive hammer blow! His mind was connected to the Magma Heavenly Demon, and the intense backlash from the instant destruction of the demon's core caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood essence! The surging blood light around him suddenly dimmed like a candle in the wind, his aura plummeted like a flood, and his handsome face instantly lost all color, indicating that he had suffered a severe injury!
"No!" The shadow of death instantly seized Wang Chan's mind. He was terrified, and all he could think of was one word—escape!
"Blood Spirit Escape!" He no longer cared about dignity and burned his life essence without hesitation. His body was surrounded by blood light that fluctuated violently. He was about to transform into a mournful blood rainbow and escape into the sky!
"Trying to escape?! Blood Spirit Diamond!" Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a fierce light; how could he give him a chance to flee?
A blood-red beam, condensed to its extreme and faster than lightning, pierced through the air, silent yet carrying a chilling aura of death!
The thin blood spirit shield that Wang Chan hastily conjured was as flimsy as paper! That jet-black blood light—the Blood Spirit Drill—ignored the defense and pierced into Wang Chan's heart with unparalleled precision!
With a soft "pfft," a bloody light pierced through her chest! It left a terrifying, bowl-sized, gaping hole in Wang Chan's chest! Her heart, along with the nearby meridians, was instantly shattered and corroded by the terrifying Yin energy!
Wang Chan's blood escape technique came to an abrupt halt. He looked down at the blood gushing from his chest, which was rapidly turning black, his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and despair.
"You...how...how could you...be like this...demonic...secret techniques..."
Before he finished speaking, his pierced body, along with the gushing blood, sizzled and turned into two pools of thick, foul-smelling, bubbling blood as if it had been thrown into concentrated acid. Within a few breaths, the blood evaporated completely, leaving no trace of his remains!
All that remained on the spot was a dimly lit golden skull talisman and an exquisite storage bag, which Qin Hao then took into his hands.
On the other side, the strange man from the Hehuan Sect witnessed Qin Hao's clean and efficient killing of Wang Chan, and boundless fear instantly overwhelmed his mind!
"Run!" He was terrified and had no will to fight left. Pink miasma surged around him as he was about to use his trump card escape technique, even at the cost of his own life essence!
"You lecherous thief! Where do you think you're going!" A clear shout filled with shame, anger, and murderous intent rang out! The heavily injured Nangong Wan's phoenix eyes flashed with malice, and an unusual blush rose on her pale face due to anger. She mustered her last bit of vital energy and resolutely activated her natal magic weapon—the Vermilion Bird Ring!
Buzz! The crimson ring shone brightly, expanding rapidly in the wind, transforming into a sky-covering net of crimson flames. The Vermilion Bird True Fire burned fiercely, incinerating all evil spirits!
The escape technique that the man from the Hehuan Sect had just activated was instantly imprisoned and interrupted by the fire net containing the ultimate Yang true fire! The fire net tightened, locking him in like a net from heaven and earth, burning his protective spiritual light until it sizzled and emitted a shrill scream, rendering him unable to move an inch!
Seeing this, Han Li made a quick decision, patted his storage bag and took out a talisman with a golden brick drawn on it.
"disease!"
A massive golden brick, the size of a door panel and as heavy as a mountain, materialized out of thin air. With an overwhelming aura capable of suppressing all things, it slammed down like a divine punishment seal upon the strange man from the Hehuan Sect, who was tightly bound by the Vermilion Bird Ring of Fire and lay like a lamb to the slaughter! The air crackled under the immense pressure!
"No—!" The eerie man roared in despair, desperately summoning a pale bone shield to shield his head.
"Bang—crack!" Under the immense force of the golden brick, the bone shield shattered instantly like rotten wood! The golden brick continued its trajectory without stopping, slamming solidly into his head!
"Pfft!" Like a rotten watermelon bursting open, the eerie man's head, along with most of his body, was instantly crushed into a pool of flesh and blood mist! When the golden light dissipated, only a few bits of flesh and a lonely storage bag remained on the spot.
The Vermilion Bird Ring that imprisoned him let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light dimming as it flew back to Nangong Wan's wrist, transforming into a small, delicate ring.
The stench of blood was so strong it was suffocating, and the battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Nangong Wan could no longer hold on—she had already fought to the death with the demonic cultivator who had formed the Core Formation, and had just forcibly activated the Vermilion Bird Ring to suppress the Hehuan Sect cultivator. Her internal mana was already exhausted. At this moment, as her mind relaxed, a metallic taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body swayed and she fell to the ground.
"Uncle-Master Nangong!" Han Li reacted swiftly, his figure flashing as he pulled Nangong Wan into his arms. Perhaps due to the haste of his actions, his arm ended up around Nangong Wan's waist, his palm pressed against the skin beneath her plain white dress, a posture that was undeniably intimate. Nangong Wan was already weak, and the touch from the strange man caused her cheeks to flush instantly, but she was powerless to break free, and could only turn her face away, avoiding Han Li's gaze.
"This is no place to linger!" Qin Hao's voice broke the brief awkward silence.
Without waiting for Han Li to finish speaking, Qin Hao's "Ink Dragon Boat" transformed into a streak of light ink and shot off in one direction.
Wang Chan's background is too strong. Her father is the sect leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and her second uncle, Wang Tiangu, is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. It is known that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to have offspring. Moreover, Wang Chan is born with a dark spiritual root. Given time, she will surely become a Nascent Soul cultivator as well.
Now that Wang Chan has died at his hands, one can imagine that everyone in the Ghost Spirit Sect must be going crazy.
Han Li said to Nangong Wan in his arms, "I apologize for offending you, Martial Aunt Nangong!"
He quickly chased after him.
The Ink Dragon Boat was extremely fast and also had the ability to conceal its presence. In half a day, it flew thousands of miles and arrived at a desolate mountainous area. Qin Hao maneuvered the boat to land in front of a hidden underground cave—a cave he had discovered during his previous exploration. The entrance was covered by vines, and the interior was dry and spacious, making it perfect for temporary shelter.
Qin Hao was the first to enter the cave, and casually set up a simple concealment array to isolate the inside and outside of the cave.
Han Li helped Nangong Wan sit down and was about to ask about the next steps when Qin Hao suddenly spoke up, his tone tinged with amusement: "Senior Nangong, there's no need to pretend to be unconscious at this point, is there?"
Nangong Wan stiffened, slowly opening her eyes, her face even more ashen than before. She had intended to feign unconsciousness to buy time and see if she could find a chance to escape, but Qin Hao had seen through her immediately. She sat up straight, forcing herself to breathe weakly, and said, "The only way now is for you to escort me back to the Hidden Moon Sect as soon as possible. With my identity as your guarantee, the sect will do everything in its power to protect you both and ensure your safety."
"Protect us?" Qin Hao scoffed, his tone mocking. "Senior Nangong, are you delirious from your injuries, or do you think we're three-year-old children? The defeat of the seven sects is inevitable, the Spirit Beast Mountain has betrayed us, and the Golden Drum Plain defense line has collapsed. The Hidden Moon Sect can't even protect its own disciples, so how could it have the energy to protect us? I'm afraid that when the time comes, as long as the Ghost Spirit Sect puts a little pressure on us, in order to preserve the sect's survival, your Nascent Soul old monsters will not hesitate to bind us and offer us up to appease the raging anger of Nascent Soul cultivators Wang Tiansheng and Wang Tiangu!"
Nangong Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly—Qin Hao's words, though harsh, were all true. Although she held a position in the Hidden Moon Sect, she was ultimately just a Core Formation cultivator. In the face of the sect's survival, her life was insignificant, so how could she possibly protect the two of them?
"I think that now that things have come to this, it would be cleaner and more efficient to kill her and silence her." Qin Hao suddenly turned to look at Han Li, his tone calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Junior Brother Han, what do you think? Only the three of us know that we killed Wang Chan. If we kill her, no one will know that Wang Chan died at our hands, and it will save us from trouble from her in the future."
Han Li's heart skipped a beat—he had had similar thoughts long ago. Nangong Wan was a Core Formation cultivator; even if she was weak now, once she recovered her cultivation, no one could guarantee she wouldn't turn on him. Moreover, they were about to leave Yue Kingdom through the ancient teleportation array, and taking Nangong Wan along would only be a burden. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and his gaze towards Nangong Wan turned icy.
Nangong Wan shuddered, a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She could sense the killing intent emanating from Qin Hao and Han Li; it was no bluff. But she was, after all, a Core Formation cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, and she quickly forced herself to calm down, looking at Qin Hao: "What do you want?"
She knew very well that if Qin Hao really wanted to kill her, he wouldn't have told her in advance. Since he had spoken up, there must be conditions to discuss.
"Senior is indeed wise." Qin Hao went straight to the point: "I want all the cultivation manuals you know, whether they are the secret techniques of the Hidden Moon Sect or your own cultivation insights, to be recorded in their entirety; in addition, all the pills and materials for the Core Formation stage in your storage bag must also be handed over to me. As long as you do as I say, I can spare your life."
"You!" Nangong Wan trembled with rage, her eyes filled with shame and indignation. She, a dignified elder of the Hidden Moon Sect and a Core Formation cultivator, was being blackmailed by a Foundation Establishment junior, forced to hand over her life's accumulated cultivation techniques and resources—this was an utter disgrace. But she knew she had no choice—if she refused, she would surely perish here today.
"How do I know you won't go back on your word and kill me after I hand over the items?" Nangong Wan asked through gritted teeth, trying to secure some assurance.
"You have no other choice." Qin Hao's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation: "Either hand over the goods, or die. The choice is yours."
Nangong Wan remained silent for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! I hope you keep your word!"
"Wait a minute." Han Li suddenly spoke, taking a step forward and looking at Nangong Wan's storage bag: "That's just my senior brother's condition. We haven't discussed my condition yet."
Nangong Wanxing's eyes widened, her tone filled with anger: "Don't go too far!"
Han Li's tone was icy, showing no sign of backing down: "Of course, Senior Nangong can refuse. It's alright. After you perish, I can still take what I want from your storage bag myself."
A blatant threat! Undisguised opportunism!
Nangong Wan felt a surge of heat rush to her head, her vision blurring. She had never suffered such humiliation! To be so cruelly blackmailed by two Foundation Establishment juniors like fish on a chopping board! She wanted nothing more than to unleash the Vermilion Bird Ring and obliterate them both! However… the reality was, she barely had the strength to even lift a hand. After the extreme rage came a chilling, bone-deep helplessness.
"what do you want?"
"I want all the magic tools, talismans, and pill formulas suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators." Han Li said without any hesitation. He knew very well that these things were crucial to him at the moment, especially the pill formulas and talismans, which could greatly improve his survivability.
"Fine, I'll give it to you!" Nangong Wan gritted her teeth, took out a blank jade slip from her storage bag, and began to record the cultivation techniques, classic texts, and pill formulas she had mastered. Her fingers trembled slightly, clearly indicating her extreme reluctance, but under the watchful eyes of Qin Hao and Han Li, she dared not conceal anything.
Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he watched this scene—Han Li was really becoming more and more like "Old Devil Han." Facing a beauty like Nangong Wan, he not only showed no mercy but was even more ruthless than him, truly having "profit above all else" ingrained in his bones.
Half an hour later, Nangong Wan handed the jade slip containing the recorded information to Qin Hao and Han Li, and then emptied all the Core Formation stage pills, materials, and magic tools and talismans suitable for Foundation Establishment stage users from her storage bag. The cave floor was piled high with all sorts of treasures: jade bottles containing pills, jade slips recording secret techniques, and rare materials for refining magic weapons—a dazzling array.
The wealth of a Core Formation stage cultivator far exceeded Han Li's imagination.
Qin Hao and Han Li carefully checked everything, and only after confirming that nothing was missing did they nod in satisfaction. Qin Hao put away the Core Formation stage resources, while Han Li put the Foundation Establishment stage magic tools and talismans into his storage bag; the two had a clear division of labor.
"You've got the stuff, can you leave now?" Nangong Wan asked, her face pale, leaning against the cave wall, her voice weary.
Qin Hao did not leave immediately, but looked at Han Li with a hint of killing intent in his eyes—he originally planned to kill Nangong Wan directly after obtaining the item to eliminate future troubles.
Han Li shook his head at Qin Hao: "Senior brother, now that we have obtained what we want, why commit unnecessary killings? Moreover, Senior Nangong was also involved in killing Wang Chan. If she leaks the information, she will also be implicated. Besides, we are about to leave Yue Kingdom and may not come back in the future. Letting her live is also a way to accumulate merit."
Qin Hao looked at Han Li with disdain—what merit-accumulating nonsense? He was clearly just too beautiful for Nangong Wan to harm. But he didn't insist. After all, Han Li was an important ally, and there was no need to cause trouble over Nangong Wan.
"Since you say so, junior brother, let's let her go. Let's go."
The two turned and left the cave. Nangong Wan watched their retreating figures, her teeth clenched, and said, "Zhang Tie, Han Li, you just wait! I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold in the future!"
Stepping out of the cave, Qin Hao looked at Han Li with a half-smile: "Junior Brother Han, you've still softened your heart after all."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Han Li's face: "It's better to avoid trouble. Keeping her around won't cause any problems."
Qin Hao stopped joking and instead summoned the Ink Dragon Boat: "Let's go, get to the teleportation array as soon as possible, or things might change."
The two boarded the ink-black dragon boat and continued flying towards the ancient teleportation array. As they ventured deeper into the wasteland, they discovered an increasing number of Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators along the way—some patrolling at low altitudes, others searching on the ground. Clearly, news of Wang Chan's death had reached the Ghost Spirit Sect, initiating a large-scale manhunt for the killer.
"Luckily, the Ink Dragon Boat has a concealment function, otherwise we would have been discovered long ago." Han Li looked at the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators patrolling below and secretly rejoiced.
Thanks to the Ink Dragon Boat's top-notch stealth capabilities and Qin Hao's powerful divine sense warning, the two of them, like ghosts walking on the edge of a spider web, narrowly avoided all the large-scale search teams. Two hours later, the Ink Dragon Boat landed in the passage that Qin Hao had previously opened using the "Quicksand Talisman." Following the passage, they finally entered the spirit stone mine silently half an hour later.
The mine was pitch black, filled with the heavy smell of dust and rocks. The abandoned mine tunnels were like a maze, with signs of collapse and scattered rubble everywhere.
Qin Hao seemed quite familiar with this place, navigating the complex passageways with ease. Han Li followed closely behind, cautiously surveying his surroundings.
Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the mine. The space here was much wider than the previous path, and there were scattered, dull fragments of low-grade spirit stones on the ground and rock walls. In a corner of the cave, Qin Hao stopped.
This is the very place where he first discovered the Blood Jade Spider's lair!
A sweep of divine sense revealed that the adult Blood Jade Spider that had once guarded this place still lay there quietly. In the corner where it lay, in its simple nest covered with a thick layer of soft white silk, lay two eggs the size of human heads! The eggshells were a warm, jade-white color, covered with fine, blood-like natural patterns, emitting a faint yet alluring crimson glow in the darkness! A pure and rich life force was slowly emanating from the eggs.
The Crimson Soul Blade transformed into a streak of red light, hurtling straight towards the Blood Jade Spider. Sensing the danger, the Blood Jade Spider spit out a strand of silk to try and block it, but the Crimson Soul Blade easily severed it. With a flash of light, the Blood Jade Spider's body was cleaved in two, green blood flowing across the ground, and it quickly died.
Han Li's gaze fell on two Blood Jade Spider eggs in the corner of the cave—the eggs were pale red, with a faint spiritual aura on their surface, clearly rare high-level demon beast eggs. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he cautiously stepped forward: "Senior brother, could you leave these two Blood Jade Spider eggs to me? I'm willing to exchange them for ten bottles of Qi-Strengthening Pills."
Qin Hao chuckled inwardly. He had originally planned to hand over the Blood Jade Spider eggs to Han Li to raise, since the Blood Jade Spiders were only of some use to the Void Heaven Palace and were not worth his effort.
"no problem!"
Han Li was overjoyed and carefully placed the spider eggs into a specially made jade box, afraid of damaging them.
After defeating the Blood Jade Spider, Qin Hao walked to the deepest part of the cave, to the stone wall—the ancient teleportation array was hidden behind it. He took out the array diagram that Xin Ruyin had repaired from his storage bag, and began to set up the teleportation array according to the array patterns on the stone wall. He inserted the array flags he had prepared into the ground according to their positions, and then took out five mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, placing them into the five array eyes of the teleportation array.
"Buzz—" As the spiritual energy of the high-grade spirit stone was injected into the array eye, the array patterns on the stone wall lit up instantly, shimmering with multicolored light. A teleportation array about ten feet in size gradually appeared, with the array patterns flowing and exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"Junior Brother Han, move closer to me," Qin Hao reminded him. "This kind of long-distance inter-domain teleportation array is extremely dangerous. Without the protection of the Great Teleportation Token, your physical body will be crushed to dust by the spatial compression."
Han Li quickly went to Qin Hao's side and stood close to him. Just as the light of the teleportation array grew brighter and brighter, about to activate, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the cave. The voice was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire mine: "You scoundrel! Give me back Chan'er's life!"
"Not good! It's a Nascent Soul cultivator!" Qin Hao's expression changed drastically. The pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator was like Mount Tai pressing down on him. Even from hundreds of miles away, he felt difficulty breathing, and his magical power became chaotic.
"How could it be so fast?" Han Li was so frightened that his face turned pale. He really couldn't understand why a Nascent Soul cultivator would suddenly find this place.
Qin Hao gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Hmph, Wang Tiansheng, you're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. I'll kill you next time we meet!"
Without further hesitation, he channeled his magic power, attaching the Great Teleportation Token to the two of them, and simultaneously activated the teleportation array: "Teleportation array, activate!"
"An ancient teleportation array? How could Yue Kingdom have such a thing!" Wang Tiansheng's voice came again. But he was still hundreds of miles away from the spirit stone mine. In the past, this distance would have been just a matter of a few breaths for him, but now it felt like an inescapable calamity. He could only watch helplessly as the light of the teleportation array grew brighter and brighter, and the blinding white light enveloped the two murderers who killed his son.
As Wang Tiansheng watched the two figures gradually disappear in the white light, he roared angrily, "No! You scoundrels, don't you dare escape! Give me back Chan'er's life!"
As the light of the teleportation array gradually dimmed, Wang Tiansheng was so angry that he almost destroyed the entire cave, but he could only force himself to calm down. If he destroyed the teleportation array, he would have no chance to find the murderer and avenge his son.
"Ah—!!!" Wang Tiansheng roared to the sky, his voice filled with endless pain and resentment, and the sound shook the universe!
Immediately afterward, he abruptly lowered his head, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples who were rushing towards him in panic. His voice, as if from the deepest hell, echoed throughout the entire desolate ruins:
"Issue the order! Everyone in the Ghost Spirit Sect, and all affiliated forces, listen up:"
"Anyone who can hand over the 'Great Teleportation Token,' regardless of their background, will be accepted as my personal disciple! I will use all the resources of the Ghost Spirit Sect to ensure their Core Formation!"
"Anyone who provides definitive clues about the 'Great Teleportation Order' will be a formal disciple of this Venerable One!"
"Furthermore! Spread these two portraits throughout the entire south! Anyone who sees these two, regardless of whether they are alive or dead, whether they are captured or killed and presented to me, will be considered my personal disciple! The reward will be the same as above! Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
"Yes, sir!!!" Around the ruins, all the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators who had arrived, regardless of their cultivation level, were so enraged by the insane bounty that their eyes turned bloodshot, and they all shouted a thunderous reply! Communication talismans shot out in all directions like meteors!
Meanwhile, Qin Hao and Han Li, amidst a violent bout of dizziness, finally arrived at the other end of the teleportation array. They landed in a simple stone chamber. The chamber was small, with walls made of black rock, and the air was filled with a faint salty smell of seawater.
"That was close... The pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator is truly terrifying." Han Li leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily. The spatial teleportation he had just experienced had caused his blood to surge, and he couldn't help but gag. He looked up and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, how did Wang Tiansheng know our whereabouts?"
Qin Hao also let out a long breath, circulating his magic power to calm the chaos within his body, and explained, "It should be some kind of bloodline secret technique. Wang Chan is Wang Tiansheng's only son, and Wang Tiansheng may have planted a 'bloodline mark' on him. Once Wang Chan dies, the mark will sense his aura and even roughly pinpoint his location. However, this sensing range is limited. We have already left Yue Kingdom through the teleportation array, so even if it can sense him, it can't catch up. Junior Brother, you don't need to worry too much."
After saying that, Qin Hao walked to the teleportation array in the center of the stone chamber, summoned the Crimson Soul Blade, and slashed at one corner of the teleportation array—with a "crack," the array's core was destroyed, completely losing the possibility of activation.
"In this way, even if someone finds the Great Teleportation Token, they won't be able to track them down through the teleportation array."
As the two stepped out of the stone chamber, a vast beach came into view—black reefs lined the shore, the deep blue sea stretched to the horizon, and the sea breeze caressed their faces, carrying a salty, damp scent.
"Senior brother, where is this..." Han Li looked at the unfamiliar scene before him, his eyes filled with shock.
Looking at the boundless sea, Qin Hao smiled and said with a hint of anticipation, "This should be the legendary Chaotic Star Sea."
"Chaos Star Sea?"
Just as the two were speaking, a giant ship sailed by in the distance. After probing with their divine senses, they discovered that there were no cultivators on board. The two exchanged a glance, then transformed into two streaks of light and shot towards the giant ship! (End of Chapter)
