Chapter 1381: Rainbow Rat Incarnation

Master Feng's eyes flickered. "With his strength, he should be able to hold off Bi Fang alone. That will be enough. If we truly obtain the Xuan Tian Palace's treasure, the fewer people who know, the better. Besides, an outsider, unlike us who share centuries of friendship, wouldn't be easy to share with."

The scholar in white hesitated slightly. "The situation isn't yet under our control. I'm afraid that when the time comes to reveal our true intentions, we won't be able to hide it from him and will have to disclose the truth."

Master Feng already had a countermeasure. He said casually, "That's fine! It was all a scheme of the demon race, and we were kept in the dark the whole time, only just realizing it."

"Daoist Friend Feng is absolutely right."

The black-robed swordsman chuckled.

Qin Sang sped across the sea, toying with a bamboo-slip-shaped treasure in his hand. It was a unique communication treasure from Fengyang Mountain.

Along the way, he clearly sensed the atmosphere was even more tense than when he had left.

He learned from Master Feng:

There were at least five demon kings active in the vicinity.

Qin Sang had already experienced the strength of Bi Fang, the strongest among them. His power was beyond doubt, and he had always been Master Feng's sworn enemy.

Another one worth noting was the Frogfish.

Qin Sang had also fought him, and the Frogfish's venom was precisely countered by the Fat Silkworm.

The other three demon kings each had their own methods, but their reputations were somewhat lesser than the two mentioned.

According to Master Feng's plan, should a chaotic battle erupt, Qin Sang would entangle Bi Fang. Master Feng could then act at his leisure, either by assisting Qin Sang in besieging Bi Fang or by first eliminating the other demon kings.

Qin Sang recalled the experience of being chased by the three demon kings.

At that time, Bi Fang only demonstrated exquisite evasive techniques and blood-light divine abilities. He must have other divine abilities he didn't get a chance to use.

How could such a powerful expert not have hidden trump cards?

Qin Sang made up his mind: unless he was confident he could slay Bi Fang, his primary consideration would be his own escape route.

Shuchen Island.

The island's shape bore some resemblance to Crescent Moon Realm. Its terrain was long and narrow, stretching from east to west, like a city wall, blocking the emerald waves surging from the north and south.

Qin Sang discreetly flew to the outskirts of Shuchen Island. He took out a token, which transformed into a streak of light and shot into the island.

Before long, a streak of light flew out from the island. It was a Core Formation realm cultivator.

This person was also a direct disciple of Master Feng, ordered to lead troops and guard this place.

"Qiancheng greets Senior Mingyue!"

This person's gaze swept over, seeing Qin Sang, and he quickly flew over and bowed.

Qin Sang instructed Qiancheng not to make a fuss, then entered the island with him.

Qiancheng led Qin Sang to the best cultivation dwelling on the island.

Qin Sang did not refuse. He looked around and said calmly, "You may leave first. If there are any unusual movements from the demon race, do not panic, but inform me promptly."

Qiancheng repeatedly affirmed, his face beaming with joy. With a Nascent Soul expert stationed on the island, they now had a backbone; even if the demon race attacked the island, they would have the power to resist.

Qin Sang's cultivation dwelling was at the summit of a mountain. No one was visible around, and it was extremely quiet.

He entered the dwelling and closed the door.

Not long after, a faint figure quietly left the dwelling. Qin Sang looked around, then darted towards a desolate low mountain on the edge of the island.

The dwelling was deathly silent, with a figure sitting quietly, holding a communication artifact. It was, in fact, the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet in disguise!

Qin Sang arrived at the desolate mountain. His figure flickered, passing through the island's restrictions, and he quietly escaped from the island. He found an inconspicuous reef island nearby and casually opened up a new dwelling.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator intended to hide, the cultivators on the island, no matter how they searched, would be unable to discover his trace.

The reason for this trouble was that Qin Sang didn't fully trust Master Feng.

Nascent Soul Old Ancestors were all cunning and sly. Qin Sang had only met Master Feng twice and knew even less about the dispositions of Island Master Shen and others, so he dared not fully believe their words.

He had come to the outer domains alone.

If the other party intended to plot against him and frame him, it would be completely undetected, and there wouldn't even be anyone to avenge him.

At the very least, they might divert the disaster onto him, making him attract the main force of the demon race, which would put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

It's essential to be wary of others.

Qin Sang prepared for a rainy day; his true body escaped, leaving the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet in the dwelling, so that if anything went wrong, he could react in time.

Having broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, his control over the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet was stronger.

Coupled with his senior sister's careful guidance previously.

Although it couldn't be as flexible and adaptable as a body-external avatar,

As long as they weren't too far apart or had their senses blocked by barriers formed by powerful restrictions, he could control the Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet through the soul imprint on its body.

Master Feng and Island Master Shen had not seen Qin Sang make a move.

Only a few demon kings knew he possessed a Nascent Soul Talisman Puppet.

Presumably, those demon kings would not communicate with Master Feng about this matter.

Having made the arrangements.

Qin Sang sat cross-legged in the dwelling and took out his demonic banner.

He planned to first focus his energy on "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" and "Heavenly Demon Refinement," which didn't have such stringent requirements for spiritual energy.

Time slowly passed in quiet cultivation.

Undercurrents surged in this sea area, but on the surface, it remained relatively calm.

The guards on Shuchen Island carried out their duties as usual. No significant events occurred, and Qiancheng dared not disturb Qin Sang's quiet cultivation.

Nameless Island.

The scholar in white sat listlessly in the hall. Every so often, he would attempt to activate the demon rat's essence blood to search for the Xuan Tian Palace traitor.

But judging by his tightly furrowed brows, there seemed to be little progress.

North.

The waves surged violently.

Demonic energy soared into the sky!

If human cultivators saw this scene, their legs would tremble, and they would undoubtedly turn and flee without hesitation.

Above the sea, there was a vast, dark expanse.

Thousands of demon soldiers, some hovering in mid-air, others bobbing up and down in the water, completely surrounded a small island.

One could still discern the ruins of a human city on the small island, but at this moment, it was deathly silent, with no one in sight.

The demon soldiers surrounding it seemed to be extremely afraid of this island, not daring to take a single step onto it.

Immortal Mountain within the island.

The cultivators' dwelling was now occupied by several demon kings.

The three demon kings who had pursued Qin Sang were all present, and all of them had transformed into human form.

The Frogfish had transformed into a bald, burly man with dark green skin and visible fish scales.

Bi Fang's cranial tumor was strikingly bright red. Even in human form, he couldn't get rid of this unsightly growth, which made his appearance extremely strange, almost ugly.

The Cunning Fox, however, had transformed into a beautiful young woman. She was petite, draped in light gauze, her charms subtly revealed themselves. Her eyes were filled with affection and shimmered with water, making her incredibly alluring.

In addition to them, there were also two other demon kings, a male and a female, sitting on stone chairs, resting with their eyes closed.

The Frogfish looked anxious, pacing back and forth, and occasionally glancing towards the dwelling.

"Why has there been no movement for so long?" the Frogfish asked. "Daoist Friend Hong's divine ability hasn't failed, has it?"

Bi Fang advised the Frogfish to calm down. "Humans are ignorant, don't you know that? Daoist Friend Hong comes from the Rainbow Rat clan. Born as twins from a single womb, they naturally share a spiritual connection. Cultivating with dual bodies, the other body is a natural avatar. Though not very strong, it possesses an enviable, peerless divine ability. If the main body perishes, one can revive through the avatar. Daoist Friend Hong has always been cautious. He didn't foresee Old Ghost Feng's trick this time, which led to him being entrapped and losing his main body. The avatar hasn't been used yet, so it's bound to be foolproof. However, resurrection is definitely not that simple. Just wait patiently."
