Chapter 4432: Huangxing Island Qin Family

A vast, boundless dense black forest stretched out as far as the eye could see, filled with tall black trees whose branches and leaves were lush. Sunlight was scarce, and the fallen leaves on the ground were several feet thick.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan walked slowly forward, with the young man in the golden shirt leading the way.

Unlike previous treasure hunts, this time, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had no map and Wang Tuntian was not with them as they entered Immortal Lord Tailei's dojo to search for treasure. Their only clue was that this was Immortal Lord Tailei's dojo.

There were many restrictions here, generally not strong. They discovered multiple spiritual herb gardens, most of which were empty. Apart from Star Immortal Wood and Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit trees, they had made no other discoveries yet.

Wang Changsheng guessed that the dojo must have appeared in the world before, or a Great Demon in the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage had appeared here, transformed into human form, and plundered the immortal herbs and fruits from the spiritual herb gardens.

They were not from the Barren Immortal Realm, and even after consulting many ancient texts about it, they could not possibly be familiar with all its intricacies.

Wang Ruyan flicked her right finger, and an immortal melody rang out. A blue sound wave swept forth, turning black trees into dust wherever it passed. In a certain void, a black light appeared, revealing a tall man in a black shirt, radiating immense demonic energy, with long ears and a high nose.

Judging by the black-shirted man's aura, he was only at the late Golden Immortal stage.

The black-shirted man's expression changed drastically; the blue sound wave had already reached him.

His body radiated a bright black light, and he spewed out a stream of black flames to meet the attack.

The blue sound wave easily shattered the black flames, then swept past the black-shirted man's body, which instantly turned into a mist of blood. A tiny beast flew out from his body, only to be caught by a blue hand and drawn back to Wang Changsheng's side.

Wang Changsheng performed soul-searching on it, and his brows furrowed.

It had lived here since childhood, cultivating to the True Immortal stage before transforming into human form. It had eaten the immortal herbs from the spiritual herb gardens. However, it had not achieved enlightenment, and its divine abilities were ordinary. It had obtained a storage bracelet from the remains of an ancient cultivator, which contained only two medium-grade immortal artifacts.

"I guessed correctly," Wang Changsheng said. "Those immortal herbs were indeed eaten by it. Someone had entered this place before." He then put the spirit into a green jade bottle.

"Are there Great Demons at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage here?" Wang Ruyan asked.

"I'm not sure," Wang Changsheng replied. "It hasn't encountered one. However, in a valley ten trillion miles to the east, there lives a Blood Phoenix Butterfly at the perfected Golden Immortal stage. Some immortal herbs grow in its nest. This guy was no match for it, so he could only hide here."

"A Blood Phoenix Butterfly!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed, clearly not putting the creature in her eyes. "Even if it advances to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, it's nothing. We'll just go and destroy it."

Wang Changsheng nodded. They headed east and left the area.

At a steep peak, a huge cave was located at its foot, from which loud explosions continuously emanated.

Not long after, the peak split into two, and a giant golden roc, covered in blood, flew out from within.

The golden roc had not flown far when a powerful gravitational force emerged, slowing its speed and causing its body to plummet uncontrollably towards the ground.

It gently flapped its wings, creating continuous sounds of breaking air as a large array of golden wind blades shot out. They successively struck the ground, causing it to crack open with thick dust rolling everywhere.

A yellow glow flew out from the dust without warning, enveloping the golden roc. Its body visibly shrunk, quickly drawn into the mouth of a giant yellow rat and swallowed.

With a flash of yellow light, the giant yellow rat transformed into Wang Tuntian.

He rubbed his belly and frowned. He then gently stamped his right foot on the ground, causing the earth to shake. The ground tore open, and a huge fissure appeared, rapidly expanding as a tall, slender old man in a yellow robe flew out from underground. Judging by his aura, he had the cultivation of the early Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.

There was a yellow apricot fruit pattern on the yellow-robed old man's sleeve, which appeared to be the emblem of a certain force.

"You are not a demon beast from Immortal Lord Tailei's dojo," the yellow-robed old man asked. "Whose spirit beast are you?"

"Do I need to explain to you?" Wang Tuntian sneered. "Hiding in the dark and peeping, did you really think I didn't discover you?" He transformed back into a giant yellow rat. The ground began to shake violently. For a million miles in every direction, the earth turned into sand, filling the sky with yellow dust. Countless yellow grains of sand flew with the wind, condensing into yellow sand spears that shot directly towards the yellow-robed old man.

The yellow-robed old man conjured a yellow shield shimmering with yellow light, blocking the incoming yellow sand spears. At the same time, he took out a delicate plantain fan and gently fanned it, sending a stream of five-colored flames sweeping out and spreading in all directions.

Wherever the five-colored flames passed, large amounts of yellow sand turned into nothingness.

Then a yellow glow swept over, and the five-colored flames completely dissipated as if encountering their natural nemesis.

"The Devouring Law! A Sky-Swallowing Rat!" the yellow-robed old man exclaimed, his brows furrowed.

The giant yellow rat let out a heaven-shaking roar. The yellow-robed old man immediately felt dizzy, his internal energy surging, and he could barely stand still.

A yellow long rainbow shot over, and the yellow shield moved to meet it.

With a dull thud, the surface of the yellow shield became dented, multiple cracks appeared, and its spiritual light dimmed.

"How is that possible!" the yellow-robed old man said in surprise. "This was a defensive medium-grade immortal artifact, yet it was severely damaged by a single blow from the opponent."

The yellow-robed old man flicked his sleeve, and a golden banner shimmering with golden light flew out. He cast a spell into it, and the golden banner immediately glowed brightly, releasing countless golden electric arcs, and vanished from its spot.

The next moment, a giant golden thundercloud appeared high in the sky, covering the heavens and rumbling with lightning. Thick golden bolts of lightning struck down, heading straight for the giant yellow rat.

The giant yellow rat opened its mouth and spewed out a yellow glow, enveloping the falling golden lightning bolts and swallowing them all.

"How dare you bring out a medium-grade immortal artifact to make a fool of yourself!" the giant yellow rat said with disdain.

The yellow-robed old man snorted coldly, then opened his mouth and spewed out nine yellow lights, which flashed and disappeared.

Nine yellow lights appeared in the void above the giant yellow rat's head, revealing nine thick yellow iron chains that locked down its body.

The giant yellow rat flicked its right claw, and a yellow light shot out, easily severing the nine yellow iron chains. The yellow light was clearly a yellow-glowing flying dagger.

"A high-grade immortal artifact!" the yellow-robed old man exclaimed, wide-eyed with disbelief. He spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and his face turned pale.

The yellow flying dagger shot directly towards the yellow-robed old man. Greatly alarmed, he was about to cast a spell to dodge when a powerful gravitational force bound him in place. Simultaneously, countless yellow grains of sand converged, forming a yellow sand spear that also shot directly towards him.

The yellow-robed old man hastily conjured a small mirror shimmering with yellow light, from which he spewed a yellow glow to envelop the yellow flying dagger.

The yellow flying dagger immediately glowed brightly and vanished from its spot.

The next moment, the yellow flying dagger appeared above the yellow-robed old man's head and chopped down directly.

"No..." the yellow-robed old man cried out in despair as he was sliced into two by the yellow flying dagger. As soon as his Nascent Soul left his body, it was caught by a yellow hand and pulled back to Wang Tuntian's side.

Wang Tuntian took out a yellow talisman and placed it on the Nascent Soul. He searched the yellow-robed old man's body and found a yellow storage bracelet. As he carefully examined its contents, he found several jade slips mentioning the Qin family of Huangxing Island in the Heavenly Night Sea.

"The Qin family of Huangxing Island!" Wang Tuntian murmured, his face showing a thoughtful expression. He then devoured the yellow-robed old man's physical body, collected the treasures that had fallen to the ground, and left the area.

He needed to find Wang Changsheng and rendezvous with him.
