e sealed the cave and flew towards Shen Gang Peak.Her cave dwelling wasn't far from Shen Gang Peak, and she quickly entered the green mist.The cave dwelling fell into darkness.>The lid of the black co...The commotion outside caught the attention of the cultivators in the hold, who all rushed out, thinking they had encountered an enemy.

It's just a newly awakened little demon.

Such small monsters are not uncommon in the outer sea. Having sailed for many days, everyone was already used to them and didn't pay attention. Seeing Zhou Jin's actions, they were all a little strange.

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

Zhou Jin used his true essence to transform a hand, grabbing the fish demon's head and squeezing it tightly. The fish demon let out a pained whimper, its body convulsing. Suddenly, its skull cracked open, and a millet-yellow pearl flew out.

The pearl shimmered with a pale yellow glow, and inside, shadows were writhing.

Zhou Jin was about to grab the pearl.

With a 'crack', the internal phantom suddenly collided, shattering into dust.

>

At the moment the pearl destroyed itself, there was a distinct ripple that did not belong to the mermaid. It flashed by in an instant.

>

"Hiss…"

Everyone sensed the fluctuation and their faces changed color.

All present were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, well-versed in the world, and immediately understood what was happening. The sharp-witted ones directly invoked their magic weapons and treasures.

Someone flew into the air and scanned their surroundings.

>

"Is someone controlling the fish demon"

Others looked at Qin Sang.

>

The fish demon was the first they discovered, Qin Sang clearly being the leader among the three.

Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Before this, I didn't pay much attention. After entering this sea area, I encountered the same type of fish demon several times, which caught my attention. Now it seems that this fish demon must be controlled artificially. As for whether it is a human or a demon behind it, it is still uncertain. However, this method of control doesn't seem like it was done by humans."

“Do you mean this is a scout from a high-level monster How could a high-level monster set up an ambush here”

A commotion arose on the deck, and someone exclaimed in surprise.

He knows how to command spies and his methods are so secret.

Could it be that they accidentally stumbled into the territory of a powerful shapeshifting demon Which shapeshifting demon would choose to make their lair so close to the Inner Sea

Qin Sang's thoughts were also turning rapidly.

High-level demon beasts control the fish demons to monitor this sea area. Could there really be some secret

If it turns out that the merfolk are being controlled by a cultivator, that's even more thought-provoking.

At that moment, the person who had flown high into the sky returned to the ship. Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, they shook their head helplessly, having not noticed anything unusual.

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

"Fellow Leng, how many places are left to visit I don't think it's necessary for us to go any further. It's not safe to stay here for too long. Let's return to the Red South Island Chain as soon as possible, observe the situation, and then make a long-term plan. What do you all think"

A monk proposed to evacuate.

Most people on board weren't truly there for treasure. No one wanted to risk their lives investigating rumors, so they quickly came to an agreement.

The hull tilted, changing course, and returned to the Akun chain.

Everyone spread out and took guard.

Qin Sang was not in a hurry to lead Zhou Ruan and his wife away from the crowd. The situation was unclear, and he didn't know the other party's intentions or location. Exposing their identities at this time might create more variables.

Everyone had enough spirit stones, so they set the ship to its fastest speed.

At first.

They galloped for a stick of incense time.

The sea was calm and everything was normal.

Just as everyone thought they were out of danger, Qin Sang's expression suddenly moved. His eyes flickered with light, his divine sense stirred slightly, and an ice knife glided into his palm, its blade silently breathing in and out.

This sword is named Treading Snow Divine Blade, one of the few magic treasures recorded in "Qingwei Lu".

The highest-ranked one was Yin Changsheng's Hanging Sword Pavilion, but the refinement difficulty was too great. After weighing his options, Qin Sang chose one of the easiest to refine — the Treading Snow Divine Blade.

Qin Sang still positions his avatar as a support, and as a backup for resurrection. At least before his main body prepares to break through the Nascent Soul stage, he doesn't intend to put too much effort into it.

He used the relics of Lord Yin Dian, as well as some of the spoils he obtained when controlling Xuan Tian Gong on behalf of Tong Lingyu, to forge the blade embryo for his avatar. The avatar has been nurturing it until recently, and it finally grew into a complete sword.

While it may be slightly inferior in quality to Qin Sang's repeatedly refined Golden Submergence Sword, it is more suitable for incarnation.

In addition, I have also made some progress in the role of "Xuantian Yiqi Daxinnah" .

"Ice Soul Divine Light" has made little progress and is basically in a state of semi-abandonment.

Qin Sang now deeply understands how difficult this supernatural power is, and understands why Tingxue Lou fell.

He cultivated a modified version of Glassy Body Refinement, refined with Ice Soul Gang Ying, but his magical powers didn't harmonize with himself. It was still as difficult as ascending to heaven, so he had to switch to cultivating the ().

Four-Sided Teng Snake Seal, Stepping Snow Divine Blade, and < Xuan Tian Yi Qi Da Qin Na Hand.

This is a test.

With these means at his disposal, he could even stand against a great cultivator. Treasures should be refined and not numerous, so the incarnation returned the Golden Sinking Sword and the Sun God Tree to its true self.

Soon, others also noticed the abnormality.

"Splash!"

The treasure ship came to a sudden halt, and the sight before them made everyone gasp in shock.

A mass of dark clouds appeared on the sea, covering the sky and blotting out the sun. The demonic energy surged and rolled in.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a monstrous cloud formed by countless demonic beasts. At some point, an unknown beast horde had assembled here, conveniently blocking their return path and charging towards them en masse.

No one believed this was a coincidence.

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

"Beast Tide!"

Someone exclaimed.

If it's just a beast tide formed by low-level demonic beasts, the cultivators on board could easily join forces and charge out.

At this moment, they sensed a threatening aura from the beast horde, it was clearly a high-level monster at the Yao Dan stage!

Until the beast horde appeared, the demonic beast's roar did not arise.

It is evident that this group of demonic beasts are well-trained and must be under the control of a powerful, intelligent demon.

The Sea Demon Clan was also attracted.

Even without the ruins of an ancient immortal sect, there are definitely unknown secrets. However, what they care about now is not these, but how to escape!

"Qin Qianbei, what should we do"

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

Zhou Jin and Ruan Yu leaned closely beside Qin Sang.

With Qin Sang around, they weren't as nervous, but they were also worried that there might be a shapeshifting demon king behind the beast horde. At that time, Qin Sang wouldn't be able to take care of them.

"Just wait a moment."

Qin Sang gripped the Stepping Snow Divine Blade tightly, gathering his strength. With his other hand, he flicked out a cold light and cast a seemingly inconspicuous chain of frost.

Meanwhile.

The Baocun's protective talisman array is at full power.

The formation of talismans formed a shield, enveloping the ship's hull. However, in the face of the beast tide, it seemed extremely thin and vulnerable.

"My lords, today we only have a chance if we fight together! If we fight alone, what will happen when we are surrounded by the beast horde You don't need me to tell you."

Leng Qi coldly said.

Of course, everyone understood this truth and dared not hide their own methods any longer.

For a moment, everyone's bodies were bathed in brilliant light.

Various kinds of divine abilities and magical treasures emerge endlessly, encompassing Buddha, devil, and Tao.

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

"God Wind of Drums! So it's Yuanfengmen Daoist friend. Legend has it that once the God Wind of Drums appears, it will consume flesh and bone, truly a well-deserved reputation!"

One person took out a pocket-shaped magic treasure and unleashed a stream of azure divine wind, enveloping themselves. Their figure became blurry and indistinct. As soon as the magic treasure appeared, it was recognized by those nearby.

This man, unmoved, glanced at the armor on the other person's body. "I am Gu Shenfeng, the God of Drums. I'm afraid my skills are insufficient to break through the Hun Yuanjia's defenses."

The other party's expression faltered slightly, and they let out a nervous laugh.

Similar conversations have happened many times.

Unfazed by the revelation of their comrades' past and powers, the crowd was emboldened. They worked with renewed purpose, some assisting Leng Qi in bolstering the defenses of the treasure ship while others prepared to unleash a devastating counterattack against the beast horde.

Ice chains, linked together, hung above Qin Sang's head.

Zhou Jin remained poised, her jade ring still on display.

A layer of fine gauze surrounded Ruanyu, protecting her from harm.

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

The herd is gradually approaching.

Now, everyone could see the full picture.

The number of monsters wasn't as large as imagined, not nearly as massive as a beast tide. That explains why we haven't heard anything about it. Otherwise, with such a huge beast tide gathering around the Red South Island Chain, there would have been whispers long ago.

“Roar! Roar!”

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

The roar was like thunder, the pressure from the charging beasts made it hard to breathe.

>

Here it is!

Someone gasped.

He had not finished speaking.

With a deafening roar, a huge wave suddenly surged skyward. The treasure ship trembled violently, its bow rising high and pointing towards the heavens, almost capsized by the force of it.

Leng Qi, with the help of several cultivators, exerted all his effort to keep the treasure ship stable.

Meanwhile, the demonic beasts within the beast horde unleashed a barrage of attacks. Some spat out demonic energy, others cast spells, while some shot scales and feathers from their bodies, converging into a formidable initial offensive like a surging flood.

In a beast horde, the demon beasts at the demon core stage are basically all blue foxes.

They lurked with half their bodies submerged, the monstrous waves just moments ago a creation of theirs. Now, they all opened their blood-red maws, spitting out water spheres concealing the attacks of other beasts.

The treasure ship was about to be swallowed by the flood.

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

"Wow!"

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

The treasure ship's momentum suddenly came to a halt. A flash of ochre-yellow light appeared on its hull, transforming the ship into a mountain. It felt weightless for a moment before plummeting heavily into the sea pit.

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

The giant wave crashed down, the treasure ship was slammed into the water, but it also dodged the strongest attack of the beast horde.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause.

This treasure ship has limited defensive capabilities. If it had taken the full brunt of that attack, it would probably have been disintegrated by now. However, under the skillful maneuvering of Leng Qi and others, it was miraculously transformed from impending ruin to safety, leaving everyone unharmed.

Leng Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and controlled the formation on the treasure ship to change again.

The treasure ship swayed, shaking off the impact, and bounced back to the surface of the sea. Then it discovered that all around were hordes of demonic beasts, having already charged into the heart of the beast horde.

This was precisely their pre-determined strategy. They charged into the beast horde, seemingly surrounded, but in reality, the beasts were unable to organize an attack like before, and they could take advantage of their individual combat prowess.

Those azure flames roared angrily, the demonic beasts fearless and relentless, surging forward in a frenzy, madly assaulting the protective energy shield.

"Kill!"

Everyone raised their cups together, their cheers surging through the air, even overshadowing the roars of the monsters.

Blades flash and swords clash, divine powers unleashed, a carnage of unimaginable scale.

The treasure ship became the central slaughterhouse of the beast horde, devouring countless lives.

Suddenly, the sea water changed color. The smell of blood was pungent; it was the blood of demonic beasts. Countless limbs and broken arms floated on the surface of the sea.

The defensive shield flickered between bright and dim, but finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The treasure ship splintered apart at the sound, torn to pieces by the horde of beasts. Everyone had expected this and immediately rose into the air, their formation remaining unyielding.

The current situation is favorable to them.

Qin Sang then pressed down on the Stepping Snow Divine Blade and wielded the icy chains, shuttling back and forth through the beast horde. Wherever he went, he would reap a swathe of demonic beasts.

After all, he was a Yuan Ying cultivator. Even when holding back, he could rely on precise control and keen insight to put up an impressive performance, far surpassing everyone else in efficiency.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Qin Sang always felt that things wouldn't be this simple. His mind wasn't on the battlefield, but on searching everywhere.

As expected, something is amiss!

To the side of the beast tide, a blue whale lay quietly on the sea surface in the distance. Its dorsal fin and part of its body were exposed. A strong man sat astride it.

The strong man was hideous in appearance, bare-chested and with his nipples exposed. He held a steel pitchfork and resembled a night demon patrolling the sea, his gills still visible on his cheeks. It was clearly a powerful demon who had taken human form.

At the same time Qin Sang discovered the sea patrolling demon.

The Seafaring Oni seemed to sense something, its copper-like giant eyes narrowing. The azure steed beneath it sniffed the scent of blood, agitatedly shifting its body. Its head poked out of the water, eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger.

'Slap!'

The Sea-Patrol Oni slapped Blue Jiao on the shoulder, nearly breaking his spine. Blue Jiao cried out in pain and cowered, not daring to move.

Gazing at the battlefield for a moment, the Ocean Demon King let out a cold snort. He raised his steel trident with one hand and whistled sharply, aiming it at the center of the beast horde and hurling it forcefully.

"Whoosh!"

The front fork turned into a silver-white flash.

The sound of breaking through the air was like a thunderclap.

Before the attack arrived, the cultivators who were already engaged in battle felt a sense of foreboding and alarm.

At the same time, the herd of animals suddenly parted to the sides.

Only then did everyone see the patrolling Sea Demon in the distance, and the steel fork descending from the sky, revealing expressions of astonishment.

"Great Shapeshifting Demon!"

>

Gasps just arose.

In the crowd, suddenly a white qi rose into the sky.

As everyone was still in a state of panic, they were taken aback and turned back suddenly.

Qin Sang looked up at the steel fork, his hand brushing his head. His Xuan Qi transformed into a giant hand, reaching out through the air with speed that was no less than the fork's.

Wherever the Xuan Qi giant hand passes, strange ripples appear in the void.

The steel prong, aimed directly at the palm, encountered an invisible barrier. Its speed abruptly decreased, and its light was compressed, revealing the true form of the prong.

The Xuan Qi's giant hand, powerful and unrelenting, surged forward to the steel fork. Its five fingers closed together, aiming to directly grasp the steel fork in its hand, robbing the person of their treasure.

The ocean demon's mouth puffed out, and two jets of water shot from its cheeks, merging into the steel trident. With a 'hum', the trident split into three, shattering the dark energy hand.

At that moment, the Sea Patrol Oni suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Qin Sang's blade flashed, its light drawing the attention of the patrolling Night Demon.

The surrounding cultivators couldn't help but shiver.

“Whoosh!”

Wherever the Snow God Saber passed, it left a path of snow on the sea. The monsters along the way couldn't dodge in time and were frozen into ice sculptures by the sword intent.

The Seafaring Oni's face drastically changed, he squeezed his legs hard, and Lan Jiao dove headfirst into the sea.

"Protect them well, or I will hold you accountable!"

Qin Sang left with a cold shout, his figure flashed, and he strode away in the snow.

The Demon King fled, and the beast horde naturally couldn't hold. The monsters scattered in a panic, leaving behind countless corpses.

Only then did the crowd come to their senses and turn to look at Zhou Ruan's couple, their expressions varied. Remembering Qin Sang's parting order, they unanimously surrounded them in the middle.

Leng Qi paid a smiling bow, "Zhou Dao-friend, I wonder if Senior Qin has any further instructions"

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

Zhou Jin said in a low voice, “Let’s return to the Red South Islands chain as soon as possible.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah...Don't burden Senior Qin...”
