Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2569 Tracking
"Where are you going, fellow Daoist!"

Ao Chen shouted, and the dragon spear flew out of his hand, transforming into a water ball that exploded, shooting out four water columns.

At this moment, Qin Sang had already stepped down the stone steps and disappeared from Ao Chen's sight.

His figure moved like lightning, instantly bursting out of the water, but unexpectedly, four water dragons followed closely behind him.

‘Wow! ’

A water dragon burst forth from the water, sealing off Qin Sang from all sides.

Qin Sang remained calm, forcefully flapping her wings, instantly unleashing ten thousand bolts of lightning that blasted away the four water dragons. Thunder roared, lightning blanketed the entire lake surface, and the lightning faintly reflected the shadows of four dragons and snakes.

Above the water, Qin Sang summoned the Daiyu Immortal Mountain at some point, and a figure appeared beside him—the Thunder Beast Warrior!

Then, he and the Thunder Beast Guard attacked together, holding nothing back, forcefully shattering the water dragon and breaking Ao Chen's blockade.

'Whoosh! '

Qin Sang burst out of the golden light, the Azure Phoenix True Thunder leaping between its feathers, and then bursting out at its fastest speed, fleeing into the distance.

Ao Chen was not far behind, almost following closely behind Qin Sang. He had already manifested his dragon form, riding the clouds and mist, and was in hot pursuit.

Unexpectedly, after chasing for a while, Ao Chen was gradually left behind.

'Shuh! '

Ao Chen withdrew his supernatural powers, coiled his dragon body, and stared ahead in surprise.

He could tell that after a thousand years, his opponent was no longer the same as before, but he never expected that his opponent's escape technique would be so much better than his own.

Little did they know, Qin Sang, with the help of the little Qilin, had borrowed some of the power of the great formation; otherwise, she might not have been able to shake off Ao Chen. Their movements were extremely cautious, and with the Vermilion Bird providing guidance, Ao Chen failed to notice, assuming it was Qin Sang's own strength.

As they flew away, the little Qilin relayed a message: the Dragon Clan Demon Saint had suddenly changed direction and was heading this way, apparently having received Ao Chen's message.

"It's so fast!"

Qin Sang was secretly amazed.

This move was indeed quite risky. If the little Qilin hadn't been so familiar with the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan Demon Saint, he wouldn't have dared to take such a risk.

Behind him, Ao Chen did not choose to continue the pursuit, but he did not give up either.

Suddenly, a cloud of mist arose around him, and within the mist, a dark blue umbrella slowly rose. A flash of light appeared on the umbrella handle, revealing a beautifully carved little girl.

Ao Chen looked at the artifact spirit Miluo and said, "It's up to you now. Don't lose her."

Miluo seemed to have just woken up. She yawned, opened her fair and delicate palm, and said in a crisp voice, "So what benefits can you give me?"

"Oh dear, this is extremely urgent! Please don't take advantage of our misfortune!" Ao Chen pleaded anxiously, "Don't worry! When we get back, Father will reward you handsomely."

"Hehe, you said it yourself!" Miluo swung her legs, and the treasure umbrella spun in place. A blue vortex appeared in the void, and Miluo and the treasure umbrella disappeared into the vortex.

A short while later, Qin Sang, who was flying away, heard Zhuque's warning, "You're being followed!"

"Oh?"

Qin Sang knew she couldn't easily shake off Ao Chen, but she hadn't expected Ao Chen to be so cunning, completely unaware of her presence.

"It's good that you came along. Continue to proceed according to plan!" Qin Sang said in a deep voice.

He didn't slow down and flew a distance further before pressing the escape light, turning around to look at the pursuers behind him.

Having made sure she had shaken off Ao Chen, Qin Sang plucked a green feather from her wing and crushed it.

'boom! '

Lei Yu exploded, turning into a ball of lightning in front of him.

Miluo followed Qin Sang, but instead of revealing herself, she remained hidden in the shadows, watching Qin Sang's every move.

Seeing Qin Sang's actions, his big eyes were full of doubt.

A moment later, Miluo saw the lightning in front of Qin Sang suddenly recede, followed by a fleeting, subtle aura.

Although they were far apart, Miluo could still sense that this was the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Miluo immediately realized that this guy was contacting the demon saint of the Azure Phoenix Clan.

Thinking of this, Miluo became even more cautious in her actions.

The next moment, Qin Sang bowed to the void, as if he had received some order, then rode his escape light, changed direction, and fled again.

After a moment's hesitation, Miluo decided to continue following.

Qin Sang's actions just now were all an act; the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator was naturally a disguise by Zhu Que.

At this moment, the little Qilin and the Vermilion Bird were hidden in his sleeve, and the grand show had only just begun.

Next, Qin Sang flew ahead, while Miluo pursued closely from the shadows.

The little Qilin frequently sent back intelligence, and Qin Sang had been calculating in her mind. Realizing that the time was right, she immediately called out to the little Qilin and the Vermilion Bird.

'Shuh! '

Lightning flashed like an arrow, and as Qin Sang passed through a ball of flames, the two demons attacked simultaneously.

The moment the light disappeared into the flames, Qin Sang's body crackled with lightning, accompanied by intense firelight. The lightning and firelight intertwined, accompanied by an extremely powerful surge of energy.

After the eruption, Qin Sang did not emerge from the other side of the flames; instead, she vanished into thin air.

'call out! ’

Before long, a blue light flashed before the flames, and Miluo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Disappeared?"

She searched everywhere but found nothing; the magical power of the Miluo Treasure Umbrella had failed.

Just as Miluo was completely bewildered, a sudden roar of crashing waves came from behind. The waves surged high, just like a great tide passing by, and the flames were extinguished one by one.

‘Wow! ’

The tide stopped before the Miluo River, and the Night Dragon Demon Saint and Ao Chen appeared at the crest of the tide.

"Lost them?" Ao Chen saw Miluo's expression and guessed what had happened, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Miluo Treasure Umbrella possesses a unique tracking ability; in the past, none of its prey escaped its grasp, but today it failed.

He truly is the rival I've been longing for!

Miluo bit her finger, her little face full of confusion, "How strange..."

“Not surprising!”

Night Dragon Demon Saint stared at the spot where Qin Sang had disappeared. "He was taken away. Sure enough, a Demon Saint from the Azure Phoenix Clan has entered!"

"The fact that the Azure Phoenix Clan was able to sneak in unnoticed means they know more about this cave heaven than anyone else," Ao Chen asked solemnly.

With the chaos in the outside world still ongoing and the outcome unknown, could the Azure Phoenix Clan be the biggest winner?

Night Dragon Demon Saint pondered, "Not many members of the Azure Phoenix Clan could have entered, otherwise they wouldn't have escaped our notice! If they were truly capable, they wouldn't have waited until now to come in!"

As he spoke, the Night Dragon Demon Saint gently twirled his right fingers, as if he were playing an invisible zither.

Just then, a clear spring appeared out of nowhere where Qin Sang had disappeared. The spring water gurgled and flowed into a small river, flowing forward with a seemingly slow but actually rapid current.

Ao Chen was overjoyed upon seeing this, knowing that the Night Dragon Demon Saint was using his supernatural powers to investigate the other party's whereabouts and had already made some discoveries.

"Wow!"

The surging tide propelled Night Dragon Demon Saint and Ao Chen forward at breakneck speed.

"Wouldn't it be too risky to chase after them now?" Ao Chen was somewhat worried. He knew the importance of seizing the opportunity, but the enemy's situation was unclear, and his side only had one Demon Saint.

"Your Highness is both brave and resourceful. You have made a great contribution in uncovering the Qingluan Clan's intentions. The Dragon King will surely be very pleased to learn of this." The Night Dragon Demon Saint did not answer but praised Ao Chen before turning his head to look back.

Seeing this, Ao Chen also looked behind him, and saw that at the end of his vision, all the flames drifted to the sides, making way for the middle path. Suddenly, a crimson rainbow shot through the sky, heading straight for them.

Ao Chen's eyes lit up, realizing that the Night Dragon Demon Saint had already informed the Phoenix Clan about this matter.

The two races are both rivals and allies. Now that a powerful rival has emerged, they have naturally begun to cooperate again.

‘Wow! ’

As the fiery flames descended from the sky, the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint landed beside the Night Dragon Demon Saint, her pretty face tense, and she questioned in a deep voice, "Was what you just said true?"

Why would I lie to you?

Night Dragon Demon Saint immediately recounted everything that had just happened.

"What a fine Azure Phoenix Clan!"

The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent. They thought they were playing tricks on the Azure Phoenix Clan, but little did they know that they were the ones being played.

“I estimate that there are at most one or two Azure Phoenixes here. If we join forces, our chances of winning are not small,” said Night Dragon Demon Saint.

The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint frowned. "Are we really going to fight them?"

Going to cause trouble for the Azure Phoenix Clan is risky and the chances of success are uncertain; it would also waste precious time.

"As you can see, this formation is no simple matter, and it will be difficult for us to break it quickly. The Azure Phoenix Clan was able to infiltrate right under our noses, so they must know some secrets that we don't know. They may even be ahead of us. Are we just going to sit idly by and watch this cave fall into the hands of others?" The Night Dragon Demon Saint's tone was slightly cold and filled with killing intent.

The Phoenix Clan Demon Saint remained silent.

For them, this is a dilemma. Even if they don't fight the Azure Phoenix Clan, they need to find out the details of their opponent in order to know how to deal with them.

In front of the tide, the spring water flowed continuously, then suddenly stopped in one place, gathering into a pond.

Night Dragon Demon Saint's gaze sharpened, and he snorted, "It seems we've already been discovered, but isn't it a bit too late to find out now?"

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the pond, his eyes fixed intently, and said decisively, "The Azure Phoenix is ​​just ahead!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ao Chen felt his feet sink into the water as the tide receded. Looking around, he saw that the two demon saints had vanished into thin air.

I've been left behind again.

Ao Chen smiled bitterly to himself, but he knew perfectly well that the Night Dragon Demon Saint was protecting him. In a battle between demon saints, even a wisp of the aftershock could kill him.

……

"Phew! It's so dangerous!"

Qin Sang appeared amidst a sea of ​​fire, his gaze fixed on the direction where the two demon saints had been led.

The traces discovered by the Night Dragon Demon Saint were actually flaws deliberately created by them. Little Qilin and Vermilion Bird joined forces to create a clone of Qin Sang, luring them there.

This was mainly due to the Vermilion Bird's efforts. Qin Sang and the little Qilin had never truly fought against the Demon Saint and had no way of understanding the Demon Saint's supernatural powers. The methods they devised would only appear full of flaws in the Demon Saint's eyes.

Along the way, Zhuque, for the sake of the Qilin's essence, no longer held back and frequently displayed miraculous abilities. Qin Sang had long sensed that Zhuque had regained some of his memories, so she wasn't surprised.

Before being stuffed into the furnace, Zhuque was a celestial demon in the Mahayana stage. Although its cultivation had not yet recovered, it was still capable of manipulating several demon saints.

Even so, Qin Sang was still very nervous, but fortunately everything went smoothly.

Just then, Qin Sang suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Seeing Zhu Que return, she asked, "How is it over there? They've already come in. Are you confident you can lead them over?"

The "they" that Qin Sang mentioned refer to Yan Zhu Zhenjun and the demon saint of the Ancient Demon Court.

As expected, after entering the cave, they headed straight for the Qilin Cave. They were discovered by the little Qilin as soon as they entered the formation.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Zhuque pursed her lips, but dared not stop, and continued to urge the climbing vine.

Qin Sang understood that no one could be sure of success in scheming against so many demon saints at once. They had already done their best, and now it was up to fate.

After glancing deeply in that direction, Qin Sang withdrew her gaze and ordered the little Qilin to lead the way to the next place.

……

In the big formation.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun and a man in a blue robe were flying through the flames.

Due to the limitations of the dragon vein, True Lord Yanzhu could only bring in one demon saint. This man in blue robes was the demon saint sent by the Demon Court this time, and his Dharma name was rather strange, Yinhu.

"Fellow Daoist, this formation is extremely complex. Do you have any clues?" True Monarch Yanzhu attempted to break the formation, but ended up feeling dizzy and confused.

The five demon saints, all half-demon lords, were mostly at the early stage of the Integration Realm, with only Xuanqiu True Lord slightly superior.

Being trapped in the cave and unable to find cultivation resources caused their progress to be slow. Of course, it was also related to the fact that they did not have a powerful inheritance. Some of them still needed to deduce the cultivation method on their own.

The person beside him was a top-tier expert in the late stage of the Integration Realm, who seemed to have already made a discovery and was confident of success.

The Demon Saint smiled slightly, "This formation is indeed not simple. Even with my abilities, breaking it will not be easy. However, Brother Mu just sent a message telling us to be patient and that someone should guide us."

"Is someone leading the way?"

Yan Zhu Zhenjun was surprised. Why would the Dragon and Phoenix clans be so kind?
Since the Demon Saint looked mysterious and said no more, True Lord Yan Zhu didn't press him further.

Just then, Yan Zhu Zhenjun suddenly had a thought, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stopped abruptly.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist, you've made a discovery?"

The demon saint looked over in surprise.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun hesitated for a moment, then turned to look into the distance, frowning as he said, "I just tried out a supernatural power and suddenly sensed something, but I don't know why. Since you have no clue either, why don't you go and investigate?"

"Alright!"

Since the Demon Saint immediately agreed, he turned around and did not notice the strange look in Yan Zhu Zhenjun's eyes.

Yan Zhu Zhenjun did indeed sense something, but it didn't come from the supernatural power he mentioned; rather, it came from his own bloodline inheritance.

Only he knew that there was a mysterious Vermilion Bird here, possibly a celestial demon. If the other party made a move, both the Dragon and Phoenix clans and the New Demon Court would suffer a crushing defeat.

Unfortunately, behind the destruction of the three great holy clans, there seems to be an unknown secret, and the once-powerful Vermilion Bird Holy Clan has fallen to the point of not daring to show itself.

Could it be that the Vermilion Bird has unearthed a treasure of the Vermilion Bird Clan here, or is even summoning me to retrieve it?
Thinking of this, Yan Zhu Zhenjun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should have found a reason to shake off Yin Hu Yaosheng and gone there on his own.

He glanced at the demon saint Yinhu beside him, pondering what excuse he should use to deceive the demon after discovering the treasure of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

……

Just as the two demon saints were drawn over, Qin Sang learned of their movements through the little Qilin and was overjoyed, exclaiming, "It's done!"
