Chapter 1544: Unforgiving Mountains, Unbending Liang Zhang
and managed to avoid it in advance.Yin Xingge said in a low voice, "The celestial phenomena are inherently unpredictable. Since we've entered the middle layer, it's normal to encounter frequent change...A gentle breeze rustled through the bamboo grove, its 'shush' sound drifting into the hall.
Qin Sang reversed the roles, sitting high on the Taishi chair.
Zhou Jin stood behind Qin Sang.
Xie An stood in the middle of the hall.
Qin Sang motioned for him to sit down, Xie An simply said he dared not.
Hearing the gentle rustling of wind from outside, Xie An's anxious heart felt no relief whatsoever. He frantically gestured to Zhou Jin with his eyes, hoping for some hint or clue.
Zhou Jin's gaze was steady, but his thoughts were restless.
Because, the one who came with him wasn't Qin Sang himself, but an avatar, going by the name Qingfeng Daochang.
Zhou Jin was unaware of the truth and only thought that Qin Sang had disguised himself. He speculated about Qin Sang's purpose for doing this. Could it be that he truly intended to confront the Xie family and Liuxu Sect head-on
Due to his limited cultivation, Zhou Jin's investigation of the Six Void Sects only yielded surface-level information and did not reach their core secrets. However, he could still discern some things through subtle clues.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Six Emptiness Sect dominated the Zhuzhou region for several counties, preventing Touch the Mountain's influence from reaching the county cities. This feat likely wouldn't be possible without the efforts of their three Yuan Ying elders. Offending the Six Emptiness Sect could attract powerful retaliation.
The Central Plains are just like that, with forces from all sides clashing and intertwining, a complex web of mutual checks and balances.
The surface may seem calm, but there are undercurrents at work.
Intentionally concealing their identities, it indicates that Qin Sang also didn't have confidence that these pawns would not be treated as expendable.
Qin Sang didn't care what Zhou Jin was thinking. He glanced at Xie An.
Xie An's state couldn't escape Qin Sang's sharp eyes. This person wasn't incapable of forming a golden core, but he was severely injured, knocked down from the Golden Core Stage, and left with internal injuries that prevented his cultivation from recovering.
Qin Sang casually asked, “Has the Xie family opened the Qingxu Illusionary Realm yet”
When Xie An heard this, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck him.
Xie An's two children were greatly frightened, their faces full of terror.
The Qingxu Illusory Realm is the Xie family's biggest secret, known to no one outside the family. He only learned about it when he took over as clan leader, from the previous clan leader. And he set up a suicide prohibition in his soul to prevent being searched by others.
Neither the Luo Yan Gate nor the Six Void Gates behind it know about the Pure Illusion Realm.
Who exactly is this person
Xie An's back was immediately soaked in cold sweat. The wind blowing through the trees brushed against him, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine from the top of his head to the base of his skull. His whole body stiffened, and he completely lost his composure.
I don't know how to answer, and I dare not deny it.
This secret is Xie Jiafu's only hope for revival.
The Xie family has confirmed that the Qingxu Illusory Realm was not destroyed, but shut down for an unknown reason. After being driven off Pushan by the Luo Yan Sect, the Xie family endured humiliation and never gave up.
Until we find a way to open the ethereal realm of Qingxu, we will have to wait. We plan to return to Pushan once we do, but no one knows how long that will take.
Qin Sang stopped teasing the younger generation, "This poor monk is acting on behalf of someone else. This person has a deep connection with your Xie family, and entrusted me to help you return to the Qingxu Illusionary Realm."
Upon hearing this, Xie An was stunned. The fear on his face turned into astonishment as he blurted out, "I wonder which ancestor it is"
Qin Sang smiled but said nothing.
Xie An did not dare to ask further. His mind had cleared somewhat, and thoughts raced through his head as he recalled the words of his ancestors from previous generations. He couldn't remember which one it was.
This person directly pointed out the Pure Illusion Realm, and the secret must have been exposed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Moreover, this person was a Yuan Ying ancestor. He could destroy the Xie family with a mere flip of his palm.
Whether what this person said is true or false, the Xie family must choose to believe it!
Xie An gritted his teeth, his mind made up. He bowed and said, “This junior cannot make the decision alone. Senior, could you be more lenient for a few days The Grand Elder is not currently in the clan. This junior will contact him immediately.”
Zhou Jin's expression betrayed surprise. He had investigated the Xie family thoroughly and had no idea they had a mysterious elder.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang actually thought it was normal. If the Xie family didn't have hidden strength, they would have been completely wiped out by the Luo Yanmen long ago.
“It’s alright!”
Qin Sang nodded, not in a hurry.
Xie An strode out of the hall, then returned a moment later and, according to Qin Sang's request, presented the family's classic texts.
His avatar remained in the Xie family.

At this moment, Qin Sang's main body was alone infiltrating the county government office of Fudao County.
Inside the government office.
Qin Sang sat alone in a quiet room, savoring a cup of fragrant tea.
A flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from outside, followed by the entrance of a slightly plump cultivator with a beaming face: "Greetings, senior. The message has been relayed back to the mountain gate as you instructed. This junior added an urgent note, ensuring it reaches Elder Lu's hands. As for whether he will honor the appointment, that is beyond this junior's control."
This person is the Lord of Fudao County.
He hailed from a humble background, but his path in life held little promise. He was exiled to a frontier county and appointed as an official of the highest rank. His duties were seemingly insignificant: maintaining order and educating the common people.
He was trapped in the county city, like a bird in a cage. As the esteemed official of this place, he had no real power, his ambitions unfulfilled.
>
However, with the reputation of Bu Nanshan looming over him, no one dared to treat him poorly. The esteemed official had nothing to worry about and was carefree, finding joy in his idleness and reluctant to return to duty.
Qin Sang suddenly arrived and revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation. He requested a meeting with the elder of Bù Niàn Shan, and Fu Zun naturally wouldn't dare refuse.
Elder Lu was none other than the Enforcer Elder of Mount Nian, a figure of immense power and influence.
>
Qin Sang put down the teacup and smiled: "Thank you for your hospitality."
The official said, "I dare not."
"Today's matters, the old man does not wish outsiders to know."
Qin Sang's smile retracted, she glanced at the Duke, and her figure vanished into thin air.
After a while.
The lord shivered, his eyes wide with fear, even when he closed them. He fidgeted restlessly and kept muttering to himself, “Troubled times! Troubled times!”
Three days later, an old man with white beard quietly entered the Xie family and met Qin Sang with Xie An.
As expected, this Elder is indeed a Golden Core cultivator.
"The junior disciple Xie Qian, bows to the senior!"
The old man's voice was like a booming gong, his bearing clearly stronger than Xie An's. Facing Qin Sang, he was also neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm late, senior, and I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Qin Sang glanced at him and said calmly, "I presume you are already aware of the situation. This poor Daoist wishes to help the Xie family reclaim their ancestral land. What are your intentions"
Xie Qian hesitated and said, "Junior is incompetent and doesn't know how to repay senior's great kindness. Also, the Luo Yanmen will certainly not dare to disobey senior's will, but what about the Six Xu Men..."
Qin Sang interrupted Xie Qian, his tone flat. "I'm doing this for someone else, so there's no need for the Xie family to repay me. After opening the Qingxu Illusionary Realm, I only need a short period of time to cultivate in seclusion. As for the Liu Xu Men, I have my own way of dealing with them. If there are no other questions, you should all go and prepare."
It's just such a simple condition!
Xie Qian and Xie An looked at each other, both feeling disbelief.
Perhaps, this senior wasn't lying to them. It really could be a legacy left behind by an ancestor.
"Respectfully following the teachings of our predecessors!" The two said in unison.
When the imperial edict arrived, the Xie family had no choice but to obey. Whether it was a suicide mission or not, there was only one path left.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Fortunately, having known Luo Yanmen's sinister intentions beforehand, the Xie family sought to survive by splitting off a branch and fleeing to another land, concealing their identities.
Even though Xie An's clan was wiped out, there were still descendants.
This is a crisis.
But it could also be the Xie family's good fortune!
This is the day.
Several disciples of the Luo Yanmen guarded the mountain gate. Seeing the constant influx and outflow of escaping lights, their expressions began to involuntarily become tense.
"Wu Senior Brother, Master Zhou values you so much. You must have heard something happened Why is the sect in such a state of high alert They even spent Spirit Stones to activate the Protective Mountain Formation, and even the Sect Leader and several Ancestors came out of seclusion several times these past few months. Could there be some upheaval in the cultivation world"
A naive young girl, unable to contain her curiosity, seized the opportunity and whispered a question to the young man beside her.
>
The other disciples also came over and chimed in, just as curious as the girl.
>
Flattered by his junior brothers, Wu Shixiong secretly felt pleased. He glanced around and whispered, "I heard this a few days ago while helping Master Zhou refine pills. Don't spread it outside. Several months ago, it was rumored that an Nascent Soul ancestor was crossing the tribulation nearby. Suddenly, a mysterious Nascent Soul appeared in the vicinity. How could the sect master not worry"
"Master Yuanying!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
All the disciples exclaimed in astonishment, finding it hard to imagine such a lofty and eminent figure.
The Luoyanmen faction was powerful and dominant, but it never produced a Nascent Soul ancestor.
"The legendary Heavenly Tribulation! Did that senior successfully pass the tribulation"
The young girl's face was full of yearning, she placed her hand on her chest, and asked excitedly.
How do I know
Wu, the senior brother, spread his hands and said, "A while ago, I saw several seniors from the Liuxu Sect. They must have come for this matter. I estimate there won't be much result, otherwise, our sect would have returned to normal long ago."
"It is also..."
All the disciples nodded and whispered to each other, discussing excitedly.
Just then, a piercing sound of breaking air suddenly came from the mountain below.
All the disciples hurriedly straightened their bodies and turned to look, instantly falling into a daze.
A horde of people swarmed up the mountain, their dark figures a menacing sight. Their aggressive demeanor made it clear they were not here for friendly purposes.
Xie Jia and Luo Yanmen are not on good terms, and their disciples often have friction. Wu Shixiong easily recognized several familiar faces.
"Thank you, family!"
Brother Wu exclaimed in astonishment, immediately crushing the warning talisman and shouting frantically, "The Xie family has attacked the mountain!"
'Boom!'
The spirit talisman shattered, launching a signal arrow that soared into the sky.
The mountain gate was shrouded in thick mist, swirling inwards and closing tightly, leaving no gaps. The grand protective array surrounding the mountain had been fully activated.
Suddenly, the entire Luo Yimen shook.
From the mountain, streaks of light darted out, rushing towards the mountain gate.
A grey-robed monk arrived first, upon seeing the scene before the mountain gate, his face changed drastically. He roared, "Xie An, you're out of line! You lead the Xie family to block our mountain gate for no reason, what are your intentions"
Xie An stood before the mountain gate, raising his arms.
The disciples of the Xie family set up their battle formation in front of the Luo Yan Men gate, their swords pointed directly at the Luo Yan Men. Hearing these shameless words, each and every one of them felt righteous anger burning within them, their eyes blazing with fury, and they cursed incessantly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xie An sneered, "Floating Du County is no stranger to the fact that Pu Shan was originally the ancestral land of my Xie family! Your Luo Yan Men bullies others with their power, steals other people's cave dwellings, and still has the face to question me, Xie How shameless!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
The gray-robed monk was taken aback by the words. He naturally knew the inside story, but for a moment, he didn't know how to refute them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Xie family had fallen, and the Luoyan Gate had long considered Pushan its own mountain gate.
I never expected the Xie family to dare show up at my door, they are truly beyond all reason.
The gray-robed cultivator let out a cold snort, just about to launch into a tirade, when he saw the Sect Master approaching. He hurriedly bowed and paid his respects before stepping aside.
The head of Luo Yanmen was surnamed Mo and wore a blue robe.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Seeing Master Mo appear from the mist, not only did Luo Yanmen's disciples fall silent, but even the clamoring voices of the Xie Family disciples outside involuntarily subsided.
Despite being blocked by the Xie family, Mo, the headmaster, showed no anger on his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, glancing past Xie An and focusing on Xie Qian behind him. He let out a cold voice, "Xie Qian, old ghost, you're still alive."
“With our ancestral home still in the hands of others, how could I, Xie [Name], have the face to meet our ancestors”
Xie Qian stepped forward, his breath exploding, facing Mo Zhangmen head-on.
His cultivation was inferior to the opponent's, and his aura was noticeably weaker.
"Master Mo didn't get angry but laughed instead, "That day, the Six Hollow Gates were all present as witnesses. Right and wrong will be judged fairly. Master Mo is too lazy to argue with you pointlessly. Think it through carefully. With only these elderly, weak, sick and disabled people of yours, do you really want to start a war..."
Speaking of halfway, Mo's head suddenly saw Qin Sang's avatar standing on Xie An's other side.
The more Master Mo looked, the more he felt something was amiss. He hadn't noticed this person before, completely overlooking them.
The tone faltered.
This line of code is just a placeholder.
Master Mo stared fixedly at Qin Sang, a look of astonishment gradually creeping onto his face.
At this time, Qin Sang took a step forward.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It seemed like an ordinary step, and with the protection of the mountain-encircling formation, Luo Yan Men's disciples and elders were struck by lightning, including Master Mo himself, who all involuntarily took a step back.
"The headmaster Mo is right, judging right from wrong has its own principles. Since the Six Void Gates served as witnesses back then, it should be up to the Six Void Gates to judge now who is who."
Saying that, Qin Sang moved aside and gestured with his hand, "Master Mo, why not send someone to invite the Taoist friends from the Liu Xu Gate This poor Dao will be watching with anticipation."
Floating County's mountains and waters are connected, with beautiful scenery.
>
The sky is clear and bright.

But there was a white cloud racing across the sky.
There were two figures in the clouds, which turned out to be a flying magic treasure.
Both of them looked very young.
One was clad in fine clothes, with a wooden plaque bearing the three characters "Enforcement Hall" hanging from his waist. His eyes were sharp and piercing, his bearing proud and imposing. The other appeared much more ordinary, wearing only plain robes and looking serene. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, radiating a peaceful aura.
In the blink of an eye, white clouds flew over mountains, rivers and lakes, moving with incredible smoothness.
The young man in fine attire stood at the edge of the white clouds, gazing down at the scene below and speaking softly, "Master Lu, we're almost to the city of Floating Pass."
His demeanor was extremely respectful.
Because the other party seemed to be around his age, he was actually Lu Zhang, a renowned elder of the Shan Zhi Fa Tang!
Lu Zhang not only held a prestigious position at Bu Nian Shan but was also a powerful Meta-Infant Stage cultivator. It is rumored that he is the most likely person from Bu Nian Shan to become a Great Cultivator in the present era.
Lu Zhang remained silent, not uttering a word.
Dressed in fine attire, the young men stood silently without showing any impatience.
Just then, Lu Zhang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing with light. He sprang to his feet.
The handsomely dressed youth was startled. Before he could figure out what had happened, a force slammed him back. He heard Lu Zhang’s voice roar in his ear, “Get back!”
A youth in dashing attire struggled to maintain his balance, only to find with a start that a sudden gust of wind had whipped up before the white clouds.
A terrifying wave surged upwards from the mountains below into the sky.
A raging wind howled, its power rapidly converging toward the center. In a moment, it condensed into a phantom figure.
"Divine consciousness transforming into form!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A young man in fashionable clothes gasped in shock.
A shadowy figure spoke, its voice rolling like thunder.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Why not come down and have a chat"
