Chapter 1766: Refining the Void
Immediately, the shield contracted and attached itself to their persons, vanishing without a trace.At this moment, Qin Sang actually felt a faint threat from the Liu brothers. He couldn't help but be...The most magnificent manor in Yaocheng was Liu Hou's Mansion.
The Hou Mansion was filled with a heavy, solemn atmosphere.
Under the command of Zhuge Liang, the generals and soldiers meticulously reorganized and deployed the demonic troops. Waves upon waves of demonic soldiers marched out in an orderly fashion.
At this time, all the forces under Liu Bei's command were mobilized, which was also the most empty time for Liu Bei's mansion.
Just then, above the black stone hall in the Hou Mansion's forbidden area, a figure suddenly appeared.
When the demon guards discovered this person, a breathtaking sword light descended from the sky.
'Boom!'
The sword light was like a waterfall, striking the stone hall directly.
The protective barrier of the stone hall shattered with a deafening roar. The demonic guards watched in stunned silence as the sword light slashed through the magical energy shield and plunged straight into the hall.
In the center of the stone hall, a sword mark appeared, splitting the hall in two. Immediately after, the shockwaves caused the hall to collapse, and fragments flew everywhere.
This sword was too fast, too sharp. The demon guard couldn't stop it in time.
All the demon guards were stunned.
This stone hall is not only a forbidden area of the Marquis's mansion, but also its treasury. All the treasures of the Marquis's fiefdom are gathered here.
Even a general like Lü Bu wouldn't dare to trespass here, let alone a mere Eagle Scout. Yet now it is breached by a single sword strike!
In the midst of dust and smoke, the man who had struck that sword had vanished. He had clearly entered the treasure chamber.
Thinking of the terrible consequences of Baoku being robbed, the Yao Wei fell into terror, their eyes bloodshot, they rushed towards the stone temple, roaring fiercely.
"Kill him!"
The fastest few demon guards had just rushed to the ruins.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and another sword beam, like lightning, tore through the smoke, brushing past the demon guards.
These demon guards instantly stiffened, falling to the ground. Their bodies shattered into pieces, and they died a gruesome death.
>
No one could see how the sword light killed those demon guards. The demon guards behind them couldn't help but be stunned.
'Boom!'
The Hou Mansion shook violently. The sword light broke out of the mansion, transforming into a shocking rainbow and soaring away.
At this time, Qin Sang was moving south according to plan.
On the way, Qin Sang encountered more and more demon soldiers. He couldn't help but secretly admire how powerful this Marquis of Loyal was.
This is still a demon marquis's territory, no wonder the Ghost Fang Nation could fight against the Dao Court for so long without falling behind.
Along the way, I didn't encounter any difficult characters. These demon soldiers had a very clear goal, all heading northwest.
Therefore, it can be inferred that he is distancing himself from the chaotic whirlpool and should not be affected by it.
Qin Sang gradually let go of his worry and secretly speculated about what major event had happened in the Ghostfang Kingdom. Unfortunately, he had too little information to make any deductions, so he stopped dwelling on it.
Gradually, the number of demonic soldiers Qin Sang encountered began to thin out.

Just when Qin Sang thought he was safe, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly suddenly sent a warning.
Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flash, he appeared on the highest peak nearby, gazing at the horizon.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only the clouds in the east were visible, covering the sky with a magnificent spectacle.
In the midst of clouds, a white rainbow slashed across the sky.
This was clearly a flash of escaping light. The other party's escape speed was incredibly astonishing, surpassing that of a meteor. Before the escaping light arrived, Qin Sang already felt the surging and powerful aura emanating from the opponent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Divine Transformation Cultivator!”
Qin Sang was startled.
From the other party, Qin Sang did not see any overwhelming demonic energy, which indicated that he was most likely a human cultivator.
Moreover, looking at the direction of their movement, they were heading straight towards him.
"Could it be..."
Qin Sang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately thought of something.
Could it be this person who caused such a commotion at the Liu Hou estate
This person was surrounded and chased by countless demon soldiers, but they managed to jump out of the encirclement.
Qin Sang thought to herself that she had deliberately gone south to avoid the storm, but who would have thought that fate was so unpredictable, and in the end, she had plunged right into it. She couldn't help but feel frustrated.
>
The situation did not allow him much time to think.
Qin Sang immediately had a thought, she absolutely could not expose herself!
The spectacle caused by this person's flight would surely have attracted all the demon soldiers.
Behind that ray of light, there was a faint rolling black cloud coming, perhaps his pursuers.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As expected, the visitor must be a Demon Marquis!
Right now, this very place is the eye of the storm. If exposed, you will undoubtedly be labeled as an accomplice to this person.
Dao Ting and Gui Fang's feud runs deeper than the ocean, Qin Sang does not expect the demon marquis to show mercy to his subordinates.
>
It is unwise to confront the ghost nation and the demon marquis in a duel, even if Qin Sang was at his peak, he would not make a move without full confidence.
Moreover, Qin Sang had no idea what this person had done to provoke several demon lords.
"The enemy's attention is on this person. If I concentrate my efforts on hiding, I should be able to slip past unnoticed..."
Qin Sang pondered inwardly.
Now it was too late to escape, the escaping light was rapidly approaching.
The spiritwood body leaped among the trees and plants, excelling in its agility and cunning during combat. However, its speed was unremarkable.
Remain perfectly still, blending with the grass and trees. This is the easiest way to hide.
Thoughts racing, Qin Sang immediately fled the mountain peak, swiftly leaping several times among the trees, avoiding the direction where people were flying away. He appeared in a secluded valley, blending his body with an ancient tree, and in an instant, silence prevailed.
"Whoosh!"
A white light, like a rainbow, burst through the air.
Suddenly, the white light dimmed abruptly and paused in mid-air before transforming into a sword beam that descended from the sky, landing on the peak of a mountain. There, a Taoist figure appeared.
The spirit sword circled around his body.
The Daoist's breath was a bit hurried, and his clothes were wrinkled in several places, as if he had just experienced a great battle.
He cast one last glance over his shoulder, seeing the dark clouds swirling menacingly behind him. His face darkened further as he exhaled a plume of foul air and pulled out a porcelain bottle. He unscrewed the lid and poured out a jade-white pill.
The Taoist swallowed the elixir, just about to circulate his qi to refine it, when his figure stiffened slightly and his eyes flashed with intense light.
"Who!"
As the cry left his lips, the Spirit Sword trembled, and shot out like a dragon!
‘Swish! Swish! Swish!’
The Daoist drew his sword and unleashed three thousand-zhang blades of sword qi, aiming them at an unremarkable valley.
There, the vegetation was lush. The dense canopy of trees formed a green carpet, covering the entire valley without leaving any gaps.
At this moment, the valley was not peaceful. The insect beasts were frightened by the terrifying pressure and plunged into terror.
'Boom!'
The sword qi fell, and the grass and trees in the valley were instantly shredded, with countless wood chips flying everywhere, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

Amidst the chaos, a clang of metal rang out. The sword energy in the center dissipated with a sound, as if it had struck something hard.
In the midst of debris, Qin Sang was forced to appear, his eyes as dark and deep as water.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't expect this person to stop here to take medicine, and he didn't expect this person's spiritual awareness to be so sharp, striking without warning.
Even the wood of a spirit tree couldn't conceal itself from this person's perception, being forced out with a sword.
The swordsman was about to strike again when he saw Qin Sang in the form of a tree.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang also saw the other person's appearance at this time.
Their eyes met, both filled with astonishment.
“Is it you”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Daoist recognized Qin Sang at a glance, after all, this spiritual wood body was too unique.
It seemed as if the Daoist did not notice Qin Sang's gloomy gaze. He recalled his spirit sword and said with joy, "It's truly a meeting of kindred spirits! Fellow Daoist spared me that day, and I have been eternally grateful. However, I have been preoccupied with mundane affairs and had no time to visit Immortal City. I never expected to meet you again here."
"It's really fate!"
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes and stared at the Taoist.
The swordsman turned out to be the one he had met in Xinggu!
Since arriving at Mount Heishui, Qin Sang had only left the city twice, and both times he encountered this person.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even without counting the boundless abyss of karma, both the mountains of Two Reigns and the Double Peaks are vast and immeasurable. What a remarkable coincidence!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This time it's even more absurd.
He obeyed the summons of Dao Ting's method, traveled long distances, infiltrated the Ghost Nation to collect herbs, and even on Mount Gu could meet a Taoist!
The Daoist, seeing Qin Sang's expression, swept his gaze over the surrounding terrain and showed a knowing smile. He then apologized: "This poor Dao originally thought that the one hiding in the shadows was a demon waiting for an opportunity to ambush, but..."
At that moment, Qin Sang glanced at the back of the Taoist.
There, the dark clouds billowed ominously, resembling the aura of a great demon at the Nascent Soul stage. The black clouds showed no signs of stopping.
Now is not the time to argue with Daoist, Qin Sang remained silent, with a flicker, he retracted his spiritwood body. Lightning flashed across his body, his wings unfurled, and in an instant, he transformed into a streak of lightning and darted away.
At this time, the Daoist also finished refining the elixir, and hurriedly raised his sword light to pursue.
Qin Sang gave the Daoist a cold glance. He needed to first ascertain the situation; rationality held back his impulse to draw his sword.
Their situation is very unfavorable, it can be said that it was caused by human hands.
If he had not been exposed and remained hidden, cooperating with the Daoist, there might have been a chance to kill this demon marquis.
But his strength hadn't fully recovered. The only methods that could threaten powerful Divine Transformation cultivators were those he possessed. Daoist seemed to have suffered consecutive battles as well, and his state was not good.
Facing the enemy, with both of their current states, even if they joined forces to fight, they would be caught in a stalemate.
“It is my fault for dragging you into this, fellow cultivator.”
>
The Taoist said sincerely, “Since the situation has reached this point, the only way is to find a way to escape the danger first. There are many demons surrounding this place, and there is more than one demon who is chasing after me, the demon Marquis. The demonic countries near the Ghost Fang Kingdom have probably received orders, and it’s difficult to take even a single step behind us. However, I have prepared an escape route. If we work together, we can definitely escape!”
Qin Sang furrowed his brow, wondering what the man had done to provoke so many demon lords into chasing him.
He understood that the Daoist was not just trying to scare him.
The information summoned about Liu Hou indicated that he was a light and agile bird who attained enlightenment. This mass of black clouds was clearly not a manifestation of Liu Hou's supernatural powers.
There are at least two demon marquis here!
The Taoist priest confirmed that there were more than just the two. As he was fleeing, he was surrounded by two other demonic lords besides Lü Hou. One of them possessed extraordinary innate escape techniques. The Taoist priest fought desperately, risking being severely wounded himself, before finally managing to severely injure the demonic lord and gain some respite.
Once that demon marquis had suppressed his injuries, he would soon catch up.
>
The demonic marquis behind him was also very shrewd, only hanging back at a distance, waiting for his companions to join up.
> If at its peak, one fully unleashes the Lightning Release, there is a chance to shake off pursuers.
It's a pity...
Qin Sang glanced at the Taoist priest, remained silent to his words, and said coldly: "You dare to cause a disturbance in the territory of the Demon Marquis, didn't you expect to be surrounded"
Qin Sang saw that, in this situation, there was no anxiety on the Daoist's face.
If the Daoist is truly at his wit's end, Qin Sang can only try to escape alone and will not be buried with him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"My friend, your eyes are as sharp as a torch. I indeed have prepared one or two backup plans, but using them is not easy. I thought today might be a fight to the death, but I didn't expect to meet you again..."
As he spoke, the Taoist glanced at the pursuing soldiers, his tone turning icy. "This poor Dao was just about to ask you, fellow cultivator, what your intentions are. Would you like to join forces and fight this demon together To slay the demon general and return its corpse to the Dao court would be a great feat!"
Qin Sang's pupils constricted slightly.

Does Dao Ren like taking risks so much
He pondered to himself that he did indeed have the means to threaten the demon marquis, but each one was extremely draining. Even if he could slay this demon, what would happen if he encountered a strong enemy later
Qin Sang only had two encounters with Dao Ren, and both times involved physical altercations. Although they were misunderstandings, Qin Sang couldn't fully trust Dao Ren.
He hadn't forgotten, the goal of this trip was to bring back the four seasons of Huameng flower.
> Self-improvement comes first. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why take unnecessary risks
Qin Sang firmly vetoed.
The immortal couldn't help but admire, "Friend Daoist is indeed cautious! Since that's the case, let's try to scare this demon away."
As they spoke, they had already flown over countless mountains and rivers. They discovered the traces of demon soldiers ahead and planned to surround and block them.
When the Daoist transmitted a message, Qin Sang's face showed surprise. He pondered for a moment and agreed.
In a short while, the two of them descended together in streams of escaping light.
Below is a vast jungle, the wind sweeping across it, making the sea of trees ripple with layers of green waves.
>
The two disappeared into the forest, without a trace.
Then, black clouds surged, and on the cloud's peak stood a majestic black-spotted panther demon.
Now.
A Taoist sat cross-legged under a tree, his spirit sword hanging suspended before him. The blade trembled slightly, as if resonating with something.
The Taoist closed his eyes tightly, oblivious to the outside world.
Qin Sang stood beside the Taoist, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. The Taoist priest poured all his mind and energy into wielding the sword, handing over everything outside to himself. Wouldn't he worry that Qin Sang would have bad intentions
However, since Qin Sang had made a promise, he would never betray his word. He raised his head and looked at her, his palm subtly lifted.
He held in his hand an ancient bronze bell, the size of a palm. The eight sides of the bell were distinct and faintly transparent.
Because this clock was not a physical object, but a spirit talisman given to him by a Daoist.
Hearing the person's tone, they seem very confident about this talisman. Most importantly, it can be activated purely by qi and blood.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Just then, the black-spotted leopard opened its mouth and spat out a jet of black flame, setting the jungle below ablaze.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph.
A sea of black flames surrounded the two, their heat masking a thin, black thread that crept towards them with deadly silence.
Though hidden, the black aura couldn't escape the keen eyes of the Sky-Eye Butterfly.
Qin Sang hurriedly raised the bronze bell and secretly guarded himself.
Here is the English translation, keeping all HTML tags intact:

The bronze bell soared high into the sky, instantly transforming into a massive bell that enveloped the two of them below.
'Dong!'
Amidst the earth-shattering peal of the bell, the copper bell trembled violently. The slender black ray possessed unparalleled might.
Qin Sang let out a muffled grunt, his face flushed crimson. He was astonished by the power of this talisman and steadily received the demon marquis's attack.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
However, Qin Sang felt that the power of the talismans could only last for a limited time. No matter how much blood and energy he poured in, it wouldn't help to stop it.
The black-spotted leopard saw through the copper bell's details, snorted coldly, a ghostly light flashed in its eyes, and the black flame suddenly retracted, burning the copper bell with scorching flames.
The power of the talisman dissipated rapidly.
However, that time was enough.
The Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like two sharp swords. His spirit sword hummed and shot out.
The sword light shone brightly, causing the heavens and earth to dim.
Wherever it goes, vital energy is violently turbulent.
It's not just as simple as being triggered.
The spiritual energy around them was inexplicably drawn to the Spirit Sword, surging towards it frantically. The sword's glow swelled to countless times its original size in an instant, its terrifying aura leaving Qin Sang and the leopard demon trembling with fear.
This sword stroke seemed to tear them away from the heavens and earth.
Seeing this scene, Qin Sang's eyes lit up with surprise. The methods displayed by the man at this time were like those of a legendary Refining Void cultivator who could control the primal energy of heaven and earth!
The Black-Spotted Leopard Demon’s expression turned incredulous, and he exclaimed in shock, “Grandmaster”
(The End)or a moment, "After Chen Yan Xianzi left, I knew that I was not favored by the ancestor. So I have been hiding in Jingyue Peak for years and never went out. Half a year ago, Che Yu Tao failed to gathe...
