Ask about the Immortal Way

The two of them divided the spoils equally and quietly moved towards the nest of the great evil.

The traces left by the great evil were very obvious. They could sense the death energy hovering there from a distance. They did not need to risk getting close. They could find the nest of the great evil by following the traces.

There were many mountains and rivers here.

Qin Sang and the young master did not rashly approach the nest. They landed on a mountain in the distance and looked out from a distance.

Even though they were far away, they could still see the gray air there, which exuded a smell of decay and decay. These gray air must have been lingering there for a long time. Even if the great evil left, it would not dissipate in a short time.

There were often similar strange phenomena in the hiding places of the great evil, and the monks could avoid them when they saw them from a distance.

"This great evil..."

The young master saw the gray fog, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to remember something and fell into deep thought.

Qin Sang stared at the direction where the great evil left. The great evil had disappeared and could not sense its pressure, but the great evil could return to the nest at any time, so they still had to be careful.

They stopped here, not only to observe the movements of the great beast, but also to see if there were any competitors to help explore the way.

After thinking for a long time, the young master shook his head slightly and said, "The previous nest of this great beast should not be here. Someone has seen similar visions in the holy land. Unfortunately, there is no detailed information. I don't know if it is the same one."

After waiting for a long time, everything was normal. The two decided not to wait any longer and set off immediately, going and returning quickly.

They left the mountain and quietly approached the nest. When they were halfway, the young master sacrificed the Wuding Bajitu.

The treasure map slowly unfolded, and wisps of Xuanhuang Qi penetrated into the earth. A hidden wave spread in the surrounding mountains and rivers, and soon returned to normal. The treasure map was arranged here in advance, just in case, and the two then rushed to the nest of the great beast.

When they came close to the gray air, a rotten smell came to their faces. There were black dead mountains in the gray air, and at the foot of the mountain was a rotten swamp with a foul smell. No breath of life could be found here.

They stopped at the edge of the gray mist and looked around. The mist blocked their sight and perception. They saw a broken peak between the mountains and then they flashed into the mist.

Surrounded by the gray mist, they immediately noticed something strange. They looked at each other and used their true energy to resist.

Just now, the moment they came into contact with the gray mist, the gray mist seemed to have life and tried to invade their bodies. The mist was not made up of dust or water droplets, but rather like extremely thin hairs, looking for a fertile land to take root and sprout.

The gray mist carried a strong force of aggression and corrosion. Once the gray mist entered the body and gained the upper hand, it would seize everything of the host and turn them into a monster covered with hair until they died and decayed.

"Not a living thing."

The young master transmitted the message.

Qin Sang nodded. He also saw that these hairs were not living things, or even real things. When they tried to reach out to grab them, they could not grab anything. This was a power they had never seen before, and the hairs were the manifestation of this power.

'Swish! ’

Qin Sang summoned the Gray Oriole Sword and slashed out the sword light silently. The sword light broke a gap in the gray fog and closed it instantly.

In his perception, there was fluff that disappeared under the sword light, but the effect was not as good as expected. You must know that this is only the residual power of the great evil in the fusion stage.

With their strength, it is difficult to completely clear the gray fog here, and there is not so much time to spend here, so they can only focus on defense. However, in this way, because they have to resist the invasion of gray fog at all times, they can't hide their breath perfectly like before.

Fortunately, there are no other cultivators around, Qin Sang and the young master have performed self-defense secrets, and Qin Sang even summoned the Mingshan armor.

Continuing to move forward, the power of the gray fog is stronger, which is all within their expectations and cannot stop their steps.

The scene around the broken mountain gradually became clear, but Qin Sang had seen it in advance with the help of the divine power of the sky eye. Deeper in the broken mountain, the ground was in a mess, with traces of mountain collapse everywhere, and the mud was full of rocks. It can be imagined that a major change has occurred here.

Qin Sang and the young master inferred that this should not be the nest of the great evil. They continued to go deeper and came to the deepest part. The scene in front of them made them tense.

This is a vast black mud swamp. There are no mountains inside the swamp. I don’t know if it was flattened by the great evil, but there are some traces that the swamp cannot cover.

They found a deep pit under the swamp. The bottom of the pit was covered with deep gullies that crisscrossed and tore the earth apart.

All signs indicate that the nest of the great evil should be nearby, but it must have been completely changed. The deep pits and gullies are new.

"This should be the source of the glow," the young master inferred based on Ji Jing's description. Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh, "It looks like a battlefield!"

Qin Sang showed a look of approval.

He found that the ground under the swamp was different. There was a spiritual object called turtle back stone everywhere. Once the turtle back stone formed a vein, it was extremely hard. There were probably several turtle back stone mountains here. The hardness can be imagined. It is difficult for the refining cultivators to destroy these stone mountains.

"We can only find the breath of the big beast here," Qin Sang said.

The young master nodded, "Unless the big beast suddenly went crazy, there is another possibility that it fought with a non-existent enemy."

This speculation was a bit incredible, and the young master explained: "Things that go against common sense often happen in the holy land, and there is no law. This is also part of the trial. If those rays of light are the content of this trial, we must be careful later."

The rays of light can drive the big beast out of its nest, how dare they be so arrogant?

Qin Sang and the young master carefully searched the swamp inside and outside, but did not find anything unusual. All signs pointed to the fact that the big evil suddenly went crazy, destroyed its nest, and migrated elsewhere.

"The glow did not leave any traces, and we don't know its source," Qin Sang frowned.

"If it is related to the secret of the trial, it cannot be easily cracked by us. If we want to know the whole story, we probably need to find the big evil, or even kill it, to see if it took away anything special."

The young master said, he also understood that this was impossible to do, and changed his tone and said, "There is another possibility that this place hides a passage to leave the holy land, but the time has not come yet and it has not yet appeared."

They searched fruitlessly and made various guesses, but none of them could be verified. After discussing, they decided to follow the route that the big evil left to see if they could find other clues, otherwise they could only give up.

Qin Sang and the young master left the swamp, followed the traces, and soon came to the edge of the gray fog.

Just as he was about to fly out of the gray fog, Qin Sang seemed to sense something, his expression slightly moved, and he suddenly looked at a mountain in front of him, and at the same time sent a voice to warn: "There is an ambush!"

The young master also noticed the abnormality immediately, but he was one step slower than Qin Sang. If Qin Sang hadn't reminded him, he might have to get close to the mountain to find it.

The two figures suddenly stopped, and then a silver bell-like laughter was heard.

"You two have such keen spiritual perception!"

The next moment, the void above the mountain was distorted, and an oval mirror appeared. The mirror surface was made of water, and a constant stream of clear water flowed in the mirror, like a water curtain cave.

The young master said in a deep voice: "Mirror magic! It's a mermaid!"

Qin Sang's heart trembled. He didn't expect to meet a mermaid master just after entering the holy land.

During the time in Yuanjiaohai City, he had a clearer understanding of the strength of the feathered people, and the mermaids, as the kings of the water department, were as strong as the feathered people!

This mirror magic is also quite mysterious. When it came closer, Tianmu Die found something unusual.

A vague shadow appeared behind the water curtain. A slender jade hand lifted the water curtain, revealing a person with a fish tail. He swam out from behind the curtain. His manners were elegant and delicate, which was pleasing to the eye, as if he was welcoming guests.

The mermaids respected women, and men were just vassals with a low status. It is said that the reason for this custom is that the mermaids' natural magical powers are more suitable for women, so most of the strong people in the tribe are women.

The person in front of him was a mermaid. Her lower body was a slender fish tail, and her blue scales reflected the sparkling water. Her upper body was no different from that of a human woman, but her skin was unusually white, her face was beautiful, her hair was blue, and her eyes were flowing like water waves. Sometimes she was charming and seductive, and sometimes she was pitiful.

Qin Sang and the young master were both men of strong minds. They would not be tempted by her appearance. When the mermaid appeared, they felt a warning in their hearts.

‘Zheng! ’

Qin Sang never relaxed his vigilance. He immediately activated the sword technique, and the sword light appeared in front of him.

At the same time, Qin Sang and the young master felt that the surrounding atmosphere changed drastically, and the sky and the earth became blue.

In the blink of an eye, the void turned into a body of water. They fell into the seabed unknowingly. The sea water was very strange, and it was like a group of blue flames between the ups and downs.

“Master Qin, be careful, this is the magical power of the mermaids! This fire is said to be inextinguishable for ten thousand years. Once it is infected with this fire, it will be like a ulcer attached to the bone, which is difficult to remove and will burn through the bone marrow.”

The young master quickly transmitted the sound, and at the same time, he threw out a silver light with his right hand. The silver light split and turned into small silver circles. There was a strong breath inside each small circle, but they were different.

These breaths all came from his companion beasts, which was obviously a wonderful way to use the power of companion beasts.

The small circle spun around, surrounding the young master in the middle, waves rippled out, causing the blue flame to roll back, unable to hurt the young master.

Qin Sang saw that the young master's tone was serious, and did not dare to be arrogant. He gave up the idea of ​​trapping the mermaid with the sword formation, and the Gray Oriole Sword suddenly cut out a sword light.

The sword light was like a rainbow, and the ever-bright flames retreated.

Qin Sang took advantage of the situation and slashed the mermaid with the sword light in the air. The young master also reacted quickly, and four beasts jumped out of the silver ring, roaring like thunder, and pounced on the top of the mountain.

‘Pah! ’

The mermaid let the sword light pierce her, and the whole person exploded like a ball of clear water.

Then, a sweet laugh came from another mountain behind the mermaid, and a ball of clear water condensed and transformed into the appearance of the mermaid.

The mermaid smiled and looked at Qin Sang with her beautiful eyes. She asked in surprise, "Are you a human cultivator?"

She then scolded the young master in a delicate voice, "Are you the young master under the throne of the emperor? How dare you bring foreigners into the holy land without permission? What crime should you be punished for!"

The young master sneered and was too lazy to argue with her. He said, "Which princess of the mermaid tribe are you? How dare you ambush me!"

The mermaid tribe has a queen who is the supreme in the tribe. Whenever a talented descendant appears in the tribe and is recognized by the queen, she will be conferred the title of princess. Princesses who pass the queen's test can obtain fiefdoms and be crowned kings.

The young master knows the names of all the kings of the mermaid tribe. The mermaid in front of him is not well-known, but she is also a late-stage strongman. Her strength is not weaker than that of the kings, at least she is a princess.

The merman said disdainfully: "Do I need a reason to ambush and kill your people? Unfortunately, this princess underestimated you. If you leave the things you got from inside, this princess will let you go! Otherwise, you don't think that you can be a match for this princess with a cultivator in the middle stage of the refining void, right?"

When the young master and the merman exchanged words, Qin Sang was always nervous.

He sensed that a strange aura had been locking onto him, looking for an opportunity. There was a master lurking around the mermaid!

This person's aura was erratic, and the Sky Eye Butterfly could not accurately judge it. Qin Sang suspected that the other party had also used the mirror magic, and was more cautious.

"I think it is not appropriate to entangle with them too much. What do you think, Brother Qin?"

The young master sent a voice message.

Fleeing without a fight would be embarrassing, but face is secondary. It is not in their interest to continue to entangle with the mermaid.

They thought there was a great opportunity here, but after searching for a while, they found nothing.

Once they confronted the mermaid, it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time, and it would be even more difficult to get an opportunity. Besides, they were not sure of winning. Si Huang's affairs were more important, and they did not have so much time to waste here.

It was a pity to give up the nest of the great evil, but in the eyes of Qin Sang and the young master, continuing to search might not necessarily find anything, and it might even be a waste of energy.

The pros and cons were clear, and it was not difficult to make a choice.

In fact, even if there was no mermaid to interfere, they would give up after searching for a while without any results.

Qin Sang was about to speak when his eyes suddenly flashed and he looked outside the battlefield.

He saw a wisp of red smoke rising from the distant horizon, the color was extremely bright, and it was moving towards here.

Wherever the red smoke passed, the ground was full of red mushrooms of all sizes. The big mushroom fans opened like a small hill, and the small ones were only as small as ants, densely packed and countless.

The young master's expression changed slightly, "It's the fungus man!"

The fungus man, one of the upper tribes of the water department, is said to be smaller than the Jiao Yao tribe. It is a small tribe in the water department with very special magical powers. Where they are, you can often only see various mushrooms but not their real bodies.

The speed of the red smoke increased greatly, and the ground seemed to spread a fungus blanket, spreading rapidly towards them. They could only see countless red mushrooms growing wildly, and they didn't know where the fungus man was hiding.

I didn't expect to meet three waves of water department masters here in succession, and I didn't see any masters of the sky department, let alone stay.

Qin Sang memorized the location of the nest and the direction the big evil left, and immediately joined forces with the young master, and the beast shadow and sword light rushed out.

The Changming Fire was turbulent, and immediately launched a bigger counterattack.

The mermaid found that the fungus people had arrived, and felt that her strength was superior, so she tried to keep the young master and Qin Sang. But Qin Sang and the young master cooperated closely, and never gave the people in the dark a chance to attack. They fought and retreated, and successfully retreated to the vicinity of the Wuding Bajitu.
