Chapter 1764: Lure the Snake Out of its Hole
t a mountain cave. The wall surface is rough beyond compare, and one can even see the marks of swords cutting. There is only a stone bed in the cave, nothing else.It looks like a savage dwelling, yet...A minuscule ripple, imperceptible to most, appeared in Qin Sang's perception deep within the bowels of the Gui Die Mountains. It flashed past in an instant, easily missed if one were even slightly distracted.
Finally, there's a response!

Qin Sang's spirit lifted, he focused his entire being on activating the secret art, searching back and forth at the location where the ripples appeared.

After an incense stick's time, Qin Sang slowly opened her eyes and thought to herself, "Is this the seed of the Huameng Si Shi Hua"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He did not find the physical body of the Huameng Sijishua flower, but he sensed a peculiar aura in that place.
There is a cave there.
Even if someone were to sneak underground right now, they wouldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Qin Sang, with the aid of secret arts, could sense that faint aura hidden within a piece of rock beside the crevice, perfectly blended with it.
This is a flower seed from the Four Seasons Dream Flower.
This spirit flower's characteristic is that after it matures, it scatters its seeds where it moves.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At a specific time each day, the spirit blossoms would move randomly between the flower seeds. They could only be sensed by this secret art during that brief moment of movement.
Qin Sang didn't find the Huamei Four Seasons Flower, which meant the spirit flower had just been moved. However, Qin Sang wasn't discouraged because even if he had located the Huamei Four Seasons Flower at this moment, he wouldn't dare to pluck it rashly.
He must find all the seeds and seal them. While collecting herbs, he must also dig up the seeds to be completely safe.
Even a single flower seed could be snatched away by the Dream-Blooming Flower, and the Spirit Flower, sensing danger in this territory, would relocate elsewhere. Finding it again would then be difficult.
Now that it has been confirmed that the Four Seasons Flower exists, there's no need to rush.
Qin Sang patiently used his secret techniques, making each movement of the Dream Four Seasons Flower expose the location of a flower seed.
Gradually, repetitions began to appear, and they became more frequent.

And, as Qin Sang became more familiar with the Huameng Four Seasons Flowers, he could use a locked flower species to find other flower species.
By this time, the true form of Huameng Si Shi Hua was also exposed before Qin Sang's eyes.

This is a spiritual flower that seems to be able to transform between illusion and reality. Its seeds can be sown inside rocks, water, or even rooted within other plants.

The Huameng Four Seasons Flower can exist anywhere and blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Only when it is transferred to water does Qin Sang see the true form of the spirit flower.
This is a four-petaled spirit flower. The colors of its four petals are not fixed, and Qin Sang sees different ones every time, but they are all exceptionally bright.
Qin Sang spent a great deal of energy locking onto the spirit flowers and seeds, making sure no seed was missed, but he didn't rush to act.

After marking the location of all the flowers, Qin Sang left the cave dwelling and swept his gaze across the mountains before quietly flying towards one end of the Gui Die Mountain Range.
The fiefdoms of the two demon marshals, Chiwei and Zhao You, were located at both ends of the Guidie mountain range. He was now going to the fiefdom of Marshal Zhao You.
Qin Sang needed to plan ahead and prepare for potential exposure. He carefully selected the best location and time to make his move.
While Qin Sang was busy on Gui Die Mountain.
The ghost nation's border.
Two figures descended from the clouds, entering the desolate mountains.
The two figures moved through the mountains and forests, their silhouettes flickering, their breath concealed. Wherever they passed, there was no ripple of disturbance.
The yokai they brushed past seemed to ignore them completely, as if the two of them didn't exist.
This is a placeholder for text that would normally appear here.
One of them wore a Taoist robe, with a long white beard flowing down to his chest. He had an otherworldly air and an aura of detachment from worldly concerns.
The other person, however, was somewhat strange, quite unlike anyone else.
This person wore a set of black armor, with a tall and muscular build. However, the skin exposed outside their armor was also black.
The skin had a metallic sheen that flowed, as if it were not flesh and blood but a body forged from some kind of spirit gold. Its movements were not the light agility of a Taoist, but heavy and ponderous.
This person's face was also like iron, their expression was completely calm, and anyone who was looked at by them would feel a strong sense of pressure.
He was taciturn, lagging half a body length behind the Taoist priest, following silently. If it weren't for his sharp and intelligent eyes, he would easily be mistaken for a bodyguard puppet of the Taoist priest.
Crossing several mountain peaks, the Taoist looked around and paused for a moment before saying, "Dao You, ahead lies the demon kingdom of Liu Hou's territory. It's time to contact Daoist Cui Wei."
The black-skinned monster remained silent, taking out a jade talisman. He crushed the talisman, and a flash of light disappeared. An invisible ripple spread out.
The Taoist made a slight gesture and said, "It seems that Daoist Cuimi is not nearby. Let's continue forward."
The two set off again, although they were walking, their speed was unimaginable for ordinary people.
On the way, the Taoist priest recalled something and took out a scroll, handing it to the dark-skinned monster. “This scroll is engraved with eight talismans. When all eight are used together, they have the power to confine. In the upcoming battle against the Marquis, Mo Daoist friend should hide in the shadows and strike at an opportune moment. You will surely be able to severely injure him.”
The black-skinned man silently took the scroll, unfurled it, and examined it carefully for a moment. He then frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist, do you have the certainty of capturing the Marquis alive”
He knew the identity of the person ahead of him was of such high rank, he was a Celestial Official from the Nine Heavens Golden Que!
In the Dao Court, Senior True Person Sheng Xuan could sit in one of the grand altars, considered having achieved recognition and status. However, he was only a fifth-rank Shangqing Xuan Duke.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Above that were the Zhengwu (5th rank) Shangqing Yiwei Xianqing, from the Sifang (4th rank) Shangqing Xuandu Yushi. Above them was the Zhengsi (4th rank) Jiutian Jinque Yushi.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Official rank represents strength. This person's status in the Dao Court is second only to the Five Talisman Great Real Person.
If you remain within the Dao Court's territory, you will become its master!
They rushed to meet their comrade, Cui Wei Daoist, who was no ordinary person either. He was a fourth-rank ninth-heaven Inquisitor from the Beiji Exorcism Institute, half a rank lower than this man.
“Daoist Cuiwei once had a battle with that demon marquis on the battlefield, it is said that he failed to gain the upper hand. These years, I wonder how much this demon has improved. As the saying goes, “It’s better to be safe than sorry,” This is within the territory of the Ghost Nation, so be careful, there’s no harm in being cautious,” the Taoist said calmly.
The swarthy man exclaimed in astonishment, “Since there’s no absolute certainty, why not call upon a senior with higher cultivation to ensure complete success”
"Are you saying to please the Great Immortal"
The Taoist shook his head slowly, “Grand Master must sit and preside over the altar, such a trivial matter could not possibly warrant your attention.”
The black-skinned man disagreed, "The two academies of Dao have joined forces to conceal the whereabouts of the two Daoist friends, setting up all sorts of illusions. Such painstaking effort shows that Liu Hou values you greatly. Since that is the case, why not request the Great True Person to make a move and ensure everything goes smoothly You Daoist friends should not be unfamiliar with finding alternative solutions."
“It seems that Fellow Daoist Mo is truly acting in the best interests of the Dao Court. My heart is greatly comforted,” the Taoist smiled faintly, “There are some things that Fellow Daoist will gradually understand in the future. If the Grand Master arrives here, he would not be able to conceal his aura as we do.”
The dark-skinned monster's eyes gleamed with curiosity upon hearing this. Seeing that the Taoist priest was unwilling to say more, he did not press him further.
The Taoist priest continued, "This time infiltrating the demon country to hunt demons was actually a decision made by Daoist Cuiwei on his own. The other fellow practitioners did not agree with it, and I also think it is hasty and opportunistic. However, I owe Daoist Cuiwei a favor, so I could only accompany him on this risky venture. Liu Hou should not have expected that we would dare to infiltrate his territory to cause trouble for him. Daoist Cuiwei set a trap to lure the snake out of its hole. If it works, the chances of success are very high."

"I'm afraid the bait will be discovered and turn into a trap for us," said the dark-skinned monster, not optimistic.
"Daoist Cuimi has been preparing for this for many years, the plan is very thorough, I believe there will be no mistakes. Once the bait is exposed, coupled with the subsequent arrangements, it will surely disrupt Liu Hou's territory. As for whether he can lure General Liu Hou out of his mansion, it depends on luck."
The Taoist elaborated on the plan, paused for a moment, and added, "Of course, once it is found that things are impossible, this poor Taoist will advise Daoist Cuimi not to take risks."
The black-skinned humanoid seemed persuaded, and said no more.
The two flew silently through the forest.
At this time, the Liu family mansion was as usual.
However, the Lord of the Manor, Liu Bei, was not in the manor.
After transforming into a human, Liu Hou became a handsome young man with an air of nobility. He wore white robes and moved with grace.
>
It's hard to connect him with the demons everyone talks about in fear.
Far away from the Hou Mansion, in a wild mountain, several bamboo pavilions are nestled among the hills. Streams babble, pines and cypresses stand tall, fully capturing the beauty of the surroundings.
Liu Hou sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat, with tea and fragrant incense before him. Steam rose from the cups, and the aroma of the exotic tea filled the air.
Opposite him sat a golden-armored warrior.
The Golden Armored General wasn't so particular about his posture. He sat carelessly, picked up the spirit tea poured by the Strategist, and gulped it down in large mouthfuls.
Seeing his companion's manner of chewing on the peony-like flowers, Liu Bei shook his head again and again. “This is a rare immortal tea that celestial officials from the Taoist court all covet. Big brother drinking it like this is like burning a qin and boiling a crane.”
"Damn Xian Ming, it's not as good as the spirit wine from my brother's house! It suits this old man's taste better!"
The Golden Armored Warrior scoffed, tossing his cup back onto the table and leaning against the bamboo mat. "Brother, are you planning to stay out here in the wilderness forever Not go back to the Marquis' manor"
Liu Hou laughed and replied, "When we were uncivilized, didn't we all hang out in the wilderness Big brother hasn't been adapted for just a few years"
"Big brother doesn't mind much, it's just that my brothers haven't even seen the enemy's shadow. They have been hiding outside all this time and dare not return to the Hou Mansion. If word gets out, it wouldn't sound good and might cause people to laugh at us," sighed the gold-armored man.
It's better to lose some face than your life!
Liu Hou put away his smile. "Such a simple task, yet it went wrong under my command. Losing a great general is bad enough, but I'm afraid it might leak the plan above prematurely. The Lord of Netherworld didn't punish me, which was lucky for me. But I can't guarantee that the Human Race won't notice something, think that I'm the culprit, and send people to cause trouble for me."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The armored Han couldn't help but be startled. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Brother, how much do you know Since ancient times, the Taoist court has appointed Di Gi to guard its temples and protect it. There hasn't been much use for them. We follow the human race and establish demon gods. Could there be some hidden mystery"
"Unexpectedly, Liu Hou shook his head and said: “I’m just following orders. I can’t know more than my big brother. But big brother should remember that the words ‘demon god’ have been circulating for a long time, and the last plan to probe the human race's reaction was personally promoted by King Yuan Ming. It is certain that there are ulterior motives above.”
">
After a pause, he pointed to the depths of the Ghost King's domain, "Big brother, have you noticed that in recent years, not only the Jade Emperor but also the other kings have vanished without a trace"
The armored man fell silent, letting out a sigh, “Hearing you put it that way, these past few years, I haven't heard of any king making any big moves.”
"That's right!"
Liu Hou said solemnly, "Regardless of the truth, it is necessary to be prepared! If Master Yuan Ming is doing something important, he may not be able to take care of external matters. If I am attacked, the palace may not be able to arrive in time to help. It's better to hide outside directly."
The Golden Armored Man let out a series of surprised whistles, "Hearing you say this, big brother is becoming increasingly curious. If the Daoist sect is truly as you speculate, sending people to cause trouble for you, then these so-called Earth Deities and Demon Gods may very well hold earth-shattering secrets!"

At this point, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Dao Ting claims to be able to summon celestial warriors and river deities, yet it resorts to using these third-rate spirits. I originally scoffed at them. Could it be that the myths and legends about the Daoist sect are actually true"
“As long as the Dao Court doesn't deploy Great Immortals, if we manage to capture one person, perhaps we can extract some information from them.”
Liu Hou remained unmoved.
"That's difficult!"
The armored man shook his head. "We have been at war with the Dao Court for countless years, and we even once captured Dao Court's Cave Xuan True Person. We should have been able to find out by now. The real secret, I'm afraid, is only known by the Great True Person."
At this moment, Lü Hou's expression changed drastically. He raised his hand and grabbed at the empty space, and a transparent little bug appeared in his palm.
"Someone from Dao Ting has arrived" The golden armored warrior stood up, his face full of murderous intent.
"Eagle Marshal was suddenly killed..."
Liu Hou looked puzzled. Among the demonic commanders under his command, Ying Shuai ranked first. Ying Shuai's death was a significant loss.
If it were an assassin sent by the Dao Court, why would they expose themselves in advance to deal with a mere minor demon general
Liu Hou pondered deeply, unable to understand. Could it be that they wanted to use a falcon as bait to lure him out That seemed too reckless.
"How many are coming" the armored general pursued.
“It seems there’s only one,” Liu Hou hesitated.
The Golden Armored Han snorted coldly, “It must be a trap to lure the snake out of its hole. Since there’s no aura of the Great True Person, let’s see if they have the guts to swallow our brothers! Let’s go!”

It is now.
Qin Sang was in Gui Die Mountain, starting to pick the Huameng Si Shihua.

He first investigated the mansions of two demon commanders, then left Gui Butterfly Mountain and ventured deeper, investigating the surrounding terrain and demonic forces. He estimated the time it would take for the Demon Marquis to arrive and finally devised a strategy.
Silently, he had already laid down restrictions around all the flowers in the Four Seasons Dream.
Qin Sang locked onto the core of the spiritual flower, pinched an incantation seal, his gaze darkened, and suddenly pressed down on the ground.
Meanwhile.
To the northwest of the Marquis' Mansion, just a few hundred miles away, True Person Cuiwei is waiting here for help.
Help is on the way.

At this moment, he looked down at the corpse of a giant black eagle beneath his feet, his face ashen.
He hid here, waiting for the right moment, believing he was flawless. Because he was in enemy territory, he didn't dare to release his divine sense recklessly, and he didn't know what kind of supernatural power this demon eagle used. It suddenly appeared and broke in.
The demonic eagle was extremely alert. Upon sensing something amiss, it immediately sent out an alarm signal.
>
In a hurry, True Person Cuimi had no choice but to take action and kill the demonic eagle. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to stop it in time.
This plan declared a failure before it even began!

Master Cui Wei has already sensed the aura of the Demon Marquis, swiftly approaching him.
To his astonishment, there was more than one breath!
The current Hou Mansion.

A Taoist priest arrived silently, glanced northward, his lips curled slightly. With a flick of his finger, a sword light flew from his fingertips, aiming straight for the Hou Mansion.
