ckened her pace and dashed forward at top speed.Between the sheer cliffs, a mass of black flame floated in the canyon, blocking the path.Qin Sang stood here, looking up at the flames.“Nine Nether Demo...When Qin Sang arrived at the courtyard, Madam Liu was already waiting there.

Leaving the Qisha Hall just a few years ago, her cultivation had indeed greatly improved, only a step away from the late stage of forming an elixir.

Her cultivation had advanced greatly, but there was no joy on her face. Instead, there was a hint of melancholy and fatigue in her brows.

Over the years, tracking the item has taken a great deal of her effort.

"At last, I see your true form, Daoist priest."

Lady Liu said softly, a hint of resentment in her voice. Qin Sang had left Tianxing Island long ago. Lady Liu was no match for Xiang Yi back then and missed the golden opportunity.

Qin Sang knew he was in the wrong, "As a poor Taoist, I had no choice but to do this. There's a very important matter that needs my urgent attention. My lady, you've been investigating Xiang Yi for many years, you should have some gains, right"

Mrs. Liu was a clever woman. With a slight display of displeasure, she didn't press the matter further and composed herself, saying: "Fortunately, Daochang returned in time, otherwise, I would have been truly desperate."

What do you mean

Qin Sang opened the spirit array and invited Lady Liu into the room to take a seat. He then set up an soundproof barrier.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The two people sat down.

After sitting down, Lady Liu explained: “Master Daoist, do you still remember what I mentioned before Xiang Yi is highly valued by the leader of the Merchant Alliance. After leaving the Hall of Seven Kills, he will soon be able to break through to the peak of the later stage.”

“Of course I remember,” Qin Sang said in a low voice, “Could he have already broken through”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Qin Sang had encountered opponents who were late-stage peak masters in the past, but he was able to laugh until the end because there were reasons for it.

For example, the Xiyoumeng youth used blood-tainted divine light to launch a surprise attack, destroying the other party's antidote artifact. He then used poison mist to kill him. The mysterious cultivator was burned to death by the winter cold flames.

The soul-refining ordeal I recently endured completely suppressed my abilities by the Jade Buddha.

"My concern for this very matter led me to take action upon my return. I immediately began investigating Xiang Yi's whereabouts. Before his breakthrough, there was a chance, albeit slim, but Dao Chang happened to be absent. I dared not act rashly, fearing that any move would alert him and cause him to flee. Thus, I could only relinquish the opportunity and watch helplessly as the villain continued to run free..."

The Liu couple deeply loved each other. Now, Mrs. Liu's hatred for Xiang Yi only deepened. "Thankfully, Heaven has eyes. Xiang Yi couldn't cultivate secretly for long before being forced out of seclusion. He hasn't broken through yet. You should have heard about the incident in the Demon Sea, Daoist."

"Did the mistress say it was the demon clan causing trouble"

Qin Sang nodded. Over this period of time, all sorts of rumors had become increasingly common.

"I heard that the demon clan has been restless, with beast tides frequenting the Sea of Demons, and even those large islands that have stood for many years have been attacked. But I think this is just a new cycle, like before, a constant tug-of-war. In any case, neither the human nor the witch clans would abandon the Sea of Demons."

Mrs. Liu let out a soft "hm" and said, "No matter what the demon clan's intentions are, or how the battle situation evolves, it's not something we can control. The appearance of the beast tide is actually a good thing for us. In order to respond to the crisis, the Alliance has dispatched its top experts to the Demon Sea, including Xiang Yi. He was supposed to be in seclusion, but he had to interrupt his cultivation and obey orders. He's currently on an island in the Demon Sea. After returning, he will definitely retreat to break through as soon as possible. So, this might be our only chance..."

With a slight pause, Madam Liu added: "There's another advantage to making our move in the Demon Sea. With chaos reigning now, if Xiang Yi dies there, the Commerce Alliance will only assume he was careless and perished at the hands of demonic beasts. They won't suspect us..."

It seems you've made good arrangements, friend.

Qin Sang took a deep look at Madam Liu.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As Madam Liu said, the timing is indeed excellent. The only problem is that they are entering the Demon Sea at this time, which is akin to swimming against the current and risks being caught in its vortex.

Mrs. Liu, driven by a burning desire for revenge, disregarded her own safety and well-being.

Item Yi must definitely be killed, otherwise Qin Sang wouldn't be able to sleep or eat peacefully. But sacrificing himself for this would not be worth it.

Qin Sang pondered silently, weighing the matter carefully in his mind. He felt that a visit might not be amiss.

Although the demon clan is powerful, the human and witch clans have accumulated considerable strength in the Demon Sea over the years, and it's impossible for them to be easily defeated.

He relied on his advanced swordsmanship and the protection of the Star Shell, a magical artifact. The two-headed hound's power had also surged significantly. Even if he encountered danger in the Demon Sea, he was capable of dealing with it.

Killing Xiang Yi not only eliminates a major threat, but Qin Sang can also gain a large sum of money from it. This way, he won't have to worry about external affairs in the future and can focus on his cultivation.

He must at least cultivate "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" to the late stage of the third layer before the next Qisha Hall opening. Time is still very tight.

Xiang Yixiu was powerful and a trusted confidante of the leader of the Dongji Alliance. His family fortune must have been substantial. Originally, Madam Liu promised Xiang Yixiu all the spoils of war if he were to kill Xiang Yi in order to persuade Qin Sang to take action.

Besides, Qin Sang had another ulterior motive that he couldn't tell others. He wanted to take this opportunity to visit Huntian Island and see if there was a chance to subdue some more Winter Myriad Cold Flame.

He still remembered the winter frost and cold flames.

The power of the fire pearl is still fresh in his memory.

If he could refine a few more fire beads, he could cross the Nascent Soul stage with ease.

Winter's Cold Flame was guarded by people sent by the master of Huntian Island. Qin Sang stole a wisp of the Cold Flame and didn't dare to go back, fearing that he would be caught in a trap. Even powerful shape-shifting demons and Yuan Ying ancestors couldn't subdue the Cold Flame, but he was able to take away a wisp. If the master of Huntian Island knew about this, he definitely wouldn't let him off.

Now that the demonic race is causing chaos, Hunto Island's master is preoccupied and has no time for anything else. This is a great opportunity.

But I wonder if the winter's cold flames still exist.

Lady Liu looked at Qin Sang nervously, waiting for his reply.

"Besides me, Madam Liu has found several helpers"

Qin Sang did not answer hastily, but instead asked a question.

Lady Liu smiled wryly, "My husband's savings have been spent, and if we find help, who would dare to face a late-stage expert or someone close to the leader The only friend I have is currently monitoring Xiang Yi in the Sea of Demons. She just recently formed her golden core and can't offer much help. I have a plan. When we arrive, I will lure Xiang Yi out of the island and attack him outside. After much effort, I bought a precious spirit talisman that can temporarily suppress Xiang Yi's true essence when activated, weakening him. But the talisman needs time to activate, so during this time, Daoist Master would have to hold Xiang Yi off and buy me some time..."

In order to persuade Qin Sang, Lady Liu laid out the plan, revealing everything without any reservation.

Qin Sang secretly nodded. Of course, he wouldn't fully believe Liu's plan. He would wait to understand the situation before making a decision. Even if the assassination failed, he could calmly escape.

"Very well, this poor Taoist will accompany the noble lady on this trip. However, this is rather sudden, and this poor Taoist still has some things to arrange. Lady, please wait for me one night, and we shall depart tomorrow morning. How does that sound"

Qin Sang nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Liu's face beamed with joy, and she eagerly said, "Time is of the essence, Master Daoist! Please hurry!"
