Chapter 660: The Secret of the Seven Kill Hall

Qin Sang swiftly cast a series of incantations, sealing Du Han's cultivation.

Although it was an ambush and he had made every preparation, Qin Sang hadn't expected to capture Du Han alive so easily.

After all, Du Han had been a Core Formation cultivator for many years and came from a renowned sect; he was bound to have his own hidden tactics.

His original plan was simply to find an opportunity to perform soul-searching on Du Han before his soul dissipated after being killed, thus obtaining some of the most crucial information he sought.

He would then begin his journey of escape.

Now that he had successfully captured Du Han alive, he wouldn't immediately face pressure from the Liwu Palace, allowing him to calmly make many arrangements.

Setting Du Han aside, Qin Sang began meticulously clearing the battlefield, attempting to erase all traces. Any marks that couldn't be concealed were thoroughly destroyed.

While clearing the scene, Qin Sang found Du Han's Black Water Mirror in the forest.

Of Du Han's two magic treasures, the Bone Claw was destroyed, but the Black Water Mirror was only damaged.

This treasure had been defiled by the Blood Impurity Divine Light, greatly diminishing its power, and it had fallen from mid-air. As a magic treasure, it wouldn't be destroyed at its source like a magic tool.

Once Du Han's residual aura was removed from it, Qin Sang could absorb it into his Dantian and nourish it for a period, after which it would fully recover.

However, this treasure was bestowed upon Du Han by the Liwu Palace, and Qin Sang wasn't sure if the palace had tampered with it. Therefore, he dared not rashly use it and instead put it into his Thousand Jun Ring, intending to claim it for himself only after leaving West Frontier or even the Witch God Continent.

The Black Water Mirror was quite powerful, a standout among low-grade magic treasures.

Unfortunately, when suddenly facing Qin Sang's ambush, Du Han, caught off guard, couldn't unleash the full power of the treasure before Qin Sang preemptively crippled it.

Had it been a straightforward confrontation, Qin Sang certainly wouldn't have won so easily.

Although it involved the Liwu Palace, the Canglang Sea was vast. Once Qin Sang reached the human cultivators' territory, he wouldn't need to worry too much as long as he used it carefully.

After a while, ensuring everything was foolproof, Qin Sang carried Du Han into a hidden cave dwelling deep within the mountains.

*Thud!*

Qin Sang threw Du Han to the ground.

Du Han regained consciousness, still retaining the imposing aura of a Core Formation cultivator. He gazed coldly at Qin Sang, "I've roamed the Demon Sea for so many years, yet I never expected to fall into the hands of a mere scoundrel right at my doorstep. Victor takes all, loser loses all; there's nothing more to say. Do what you will, kill or torture me!"

After this, Du Han closed his eyes and uttered no further words, only wishing for a swift death.

If he wouldn't speak, Qin Sang naturally had ways to make him.

Since soul-searching would cause Du Han's soul to dissipate, and Qin Sang didn't want to kill him yet, he used the *Soul Seizing Charm* on him.

Using the *Soul Seizing Charm* on Du Han, the duration was significantly shorter than when used on Foundation Establishment cultivators. Fortunately, Qin Sang had anticipated this and immediately asked several crucial questions; otherwise, he would have been forced to resort to soul-searching.

As expected, the Liwu Palace indeed possessed methods similar to a soul lantern. Should Du Han die, the palace would immediately detect it. Qin Sang would have to wait until he had left West Frontier and secured his retreat before acting.

The first half of the *Heavenly Yin Corpse Art* only contained restrictions for refining Foundation Establishment cultivators into living corpses. Qin Sang dared not rashly apply it to Du Han, so he couldn't put Du Han into a corpse puppet bag. Instead, he took out a black coffin from his Thousand Jun Ring, placed Du Han inside, and carried it on his back.

Outside the black coffin, Qin Sang set up layers of restrictions to block detection and added a layer of disguise using a ribbon-like magic tool.

With the black coffin on his back, Qin Sang fed the Heavenly Eye Butterfly once. He then took out the chubby silkworm, found it showed no signs of breaking its cocoon, and returned it to his insect basket.

He then summoned Mute Girl and checked her condition.

Immediately afterward, without a moment's delay, he left the cave dwelling and sped directly towards Qianhu Village.

He was now ready to leave West Frontier, but before doing so, he needed to take the old witch doctor from Qianhu Village with him.

In the vicinity of Xiong Mountain, too many people, including those from Jing Lei Village and Baihua Palace, had seen Qin Sang's face. It was impossible to erase all traces.

After questioning Du Han, Qin Sang learned that the Liwu Palace had only one Nascent Soul ancestor, whose strength was comparable to the eight righteous sects of the Little Cold Domain. While undoubtedly the overlord near West Frontier, it was entirely insignificant when considering the entire Canglang Sea region, especially human territory.

Qin Sang was already prepared to leave the Witch God Continent and wasn't concerned about the Liwu Palace's threat. Revealing his true appearance was fine; he doubted the Liwu Palace would go to great lengths for a Core Formation stage disciple.

Although others had seen Qin Sang, once he was outside the Liwu Palace's sphere of influence, finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, so he had no fear.

The old witch doctor from Qianhu Village was different. Besides Mute Girl, he was the only one who had seen Qin Sang's left arm broken and covered in corpse qi!

This matter was far too significant for Qin Sang to be careless.

During the interrogation of Du Han with the *Soul Seizing Charm*, Qin Sang naturally focused on clarifying his most pressing questions.

Upon questioning, he discovered that the hidden secrets were far more complex and astonishing than he had anticipated!

Flying through the air, Qin Sang couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if countless mysteries had suddenly appeared around him, drawing him into a terrifying vortex.

To discuss this matter, the Seven Kill Temple must first be mentioned.

It turned out that the Seven Kill Temple was a secret realm discovered by human cultivators, located within the storms on the outskirts of the Canglang Sea! From the Witch God Continent, even with Du Han's Core Formation cultivation, it would take more than half a year to reach the Seven Kill Temple.

After its discovery, some human cultivators entered to explore and achieved considerable gains.

Unfortunately, the Seven Kill Temple wasn't always open, so one couldn't enter daily to seek treasures.

Entry was only possible when the Seven Kill Temple manifested.

Whenever it manifested, many human cultivators would brave the dangers of the storms to enter the Seven Kill Temple.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang immediately felt a sense of familiarity and quickly had Du Han list the past manifestation times of the Seven Kill Temple. What was shocking was that the intervals between the recent openings of the Seven Kill Temple perfectly matched those of the Ziwei Palace!

If they were two entirely unrelated secret realms, such a coincidence would be absolutely impossible.

Hearing this, Qin Sang's last shred of hope vanished. He likely teleported from the Ziwei Palace to the Seven Kill Temple, and the mysterious ancient corpse that had descended from the heavens and gone missing from the Seven Kill Temple was none other than him!

However, the Seven Kill Temple and the Ziwei Palace were not entirely identical.

The Ziwei Palace was hidden deep within the ancient immortal battlefield, and entry was only possible when a spiritual tide arrived, causing the immortal palace to manifest on its own, thereby breaking the formation.

In the Canglang Sea region, after years of exploration, human cultivators discovered that the Seven Kill Temple's protective immortal formation would experience a period of weakness every few decades.

At such times, by setting up a grand formation outside the Seven Kill Temple, one could force open the immortal formation and send people inside, even if the temple hadn't manifested.

At these times, besides the formation breakers, other cultivators were also allowed to enter and seek treasures, though they had to pay a substantial amount of spirit stones to compensate the formation breakers for their efforts.

Although it was a secret realm discovered by human cultivators, Witch cultivators could also enter if they paid sufficient spirit stones.

However, there was one condition: Witch cultivators entering the Seven Kill Temple could not have a cultivation level exceeding Core Formation.
