Chapter 292: Pathfinders

When he crushed the Twin Hearts Jade pendant, he told Yun Youzi and Ge Yuan everything he knew, withholding nothing. He especially reminded them that Yu Kong intended to assassinate Luo Xingnan and Sheng Yuanzi, and had set a trap for them.
In essence, from their covert operations to the emergence of Rohingya people like Luo Xingnan, a considerable amount of time has passed. Yun Youzi and Ge Yuan had ample opportunity to extricate themselves.
But they didn't do that, instead they chose to come in.
This left Qin Sang wondering if they had some kind of life-saving method, which is why they were so confident they could calmly escape danger.
It doesn't look good now.
A number of hooked snakes killed by cultivators are not uncommon. Some snake corpses fell into the abyss, while others crashed to the ground. Their massive bodies lay sprawled across the land, their blood staining the ground red, converging into rivers and forming bloody waterfalls at the edge of the abyss, cascading down with a roar.
But the three Goushe Kings, who were in the middle stage of the demon spirit realm, were not among them.
In the midst of intense battles, one can sometimes see their massive bodies being flung out.
Their bodies were scarred and battered, but their breaths were strong, and they immediately charged back into the fray with ferocious roars. After falling into madness, they seemed to have forgotten what pain was.
At this time, the fighting in the red mist began to weaken. The three strongest hook snake kings were only injured and not killed.
And from beginning to end, no one could escape.
Yu Kong originally planned to take action and assassinate Luo Xingsou and others when they retreated, but in the end, he discovered that these vipers' strength exceeded his expectations, and there was no need for him to make a move.
Finally, the battle subsided and the red mist dissipated.

The surviving hooksnakes hung in the air, their mouths dripping with blood and flesh, madness still gleaming in their giant eyes. Their sharp hisses rose and fell like waves.
The three strongest Hook Serpent Kings were also riddled with wounds, showing that the cultivators' final counterattacks were extremely fierce. One of them even had both tails severed, blood gushing out as it wailed in agony.
They seem to be communicating.
After that, one hooked serpent king carried its badly injured companion back to the abyss to sleep. The others either fell to the ground to gnaw on their brethren's corpses or flew back to their nests.
The hook snake's nest was located at the back mountain. Even with its massive body, it hid within without leaking any trace of demonic energy. It could be seen that the depth of the nest was probably no less than an abyss.
Two cultivators at the middle stage of foundation building, along with a group of their followers, were all killed by a pack of monster beasts, none of them survived.
Besides Yu Kong and his five companions watching, no one else knew that the death had been silent and swift.
With just a small scheme, he effortlessly got rid of two major rivals.
Even Yu Kong didn't expect this result.
They had already stealthily approached and stood behind the stone mountain, witnessing the entire battle unfold from its commencement to its end, culminating in such a gruesome outcome. They were all deeply shaken by the sight.
For a moment, there was complete silence. No one spoke.

"Elder Yu..."
Wu Chen swallowed hard and addressed Yu Kong with respect. The previous scene had deeply shocked him.
With a flick of his hand, Yu Kong summoned clouds and with another, rain. In an instant, he eradicated all these Foundation Establishment cultivators. No matter how deep their schemes or how vicious their methods, it left them utterly awed by Yu Kong's power.
“You knew about these vipers all along...”
“Yu certainly knew that evil demons were lurking, and they wouldn't be easy to deal with. But he didn't expect these vile beasts to be this strong. Yu originally only intended to spare the lives of those two old fellows, but unexpectedly, these two scoundrels implicated so many innocent people. After going out, Yu will definitely have someone perform a grand ritual for all of you Daoist friends to appease the spirits in heaven…”
Yu Kong sighed with sadness for the heavens and mortals, but a hint of smug satisfaction played on his face, unable to be fully concealed.
"But, the great enemy is gone. Now all the spiritual herbs are ours, and we conveniently wounded the guardian monster beast. After collecting the herbs, we can easily escape. We should be happy, don't you think"
Yu Kong's gaze swept over, and including Qin Sang, everyone nodded in agreement.
“It's getting late, and the restriction hasn't been broken yet. We must leave before the guardian formation's low point disappears, Yu won't want to be trapped here for thirty years...”
At Yu Kong's urging, everyone activated their escape techniques and rushed toward the distant mountains.

Qin Sang took one last look at the devastated battlefield, pondered for a moment, then turned and left.
They were cautious in their movements. The appearance of the hook-nosed viper was a warning; this place was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. There were more than just these two small hills in the plain, and perhaps there were other guardian monsters hidden on the other mountains.
Luckily, it has always been very peaceful in front of the mountains.
As they got closer, everyone's breaths grew heavy involuntarily.
Rays of multicolored light pierced through the thick fog, shooting into the sky, almost blinding to the eye. Qin Sang secretly counted, a full twenty-one!
That is to say, there were as many as twenty-one herbs on the mountain, each at least a thousand years old!
Luo Xinan had just declared his ambition and, after returning, would focus on preparing the elixir. If he could successfully obtain these twenty-one spiritual herbs, perhaps his wish would finally come true.
Qin Sang lightly raised her head, her gaze falling on the location near the summit. The aura of profound yellow was very conspicuous.
Twenty-one herbs, enough for them to share, four plants per person with some left over. The premise is that Yu Kong isn't greedy and won't turn on them without mercy.

However, the auras of these elixirs also differed. The vast majority were faint and dim, with only a few that were brilliant and dazzling.
Among them, that trace of Xuanhuang Qi would be ranked in the top three, and its preciousness would undoubtedly be among the best.
Yu Kong may not be willing to give up his beloved.
“It seems those venomous snakes are the guardian monsters left by the cave owner,” Yu Kong nodded slightly, looking at so many spirit medicines, his voice couldn’t hide his excitement, “Breaking the prohibition, these spirit medicines will be ours. The final stage still requires everyone to work together!”
This looks like the start of a paragraph. Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Hearing this, the others quickly withdrew their greedy gazes and looked towards the thick fog.
The restriction was hidden within the dense fog, and before even entering it, one could sense the lurking danger within.
The restrictions here are not so easy to break.

They circled the mountain, probing it several times. They discovered that the entire mountain was shrouded in fog and sealed by restrictions. There were no paths to climb up, so they had to abandon their hopes of success.
“Time doesn't allow us to slowly research how to break the restrictions. Fortunately, Yu Mo has some research on restrictions, but...”
Yu Kong's voice faltered, his gaze sweeping over Qin Sang and the others. "This place has a large-scale barrier with extraordinary power. Someone needs to enter the barrier personally and activate its power to see the full picture of the barrier. Yu must concentrate on finding a way to break it, so I can only ask fellow Daoists to take turns entering the barrier to probe it. What do you think Or do any of you have other suggestions" can grow wings, they're so flamboyant and mysterious.It stared at Qin Sang, its eyes filled with confusion, unable to understand why Qin Sang had shown such kindness.Qin Sang let out a soft sigh and...
