Chapter 1493: Slaying at the Blood Pool of Yin

Brother said boldly, "What's difficult about this If Qin Junior Brother is not at ease, take my waist token first and use it. They definitely wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you."Here is y...No one could have imagined that touching a cicada shell would cause such a transformation.

Qin Sang has always been cautious, always on guard against the ancient forbidden anomalies attacking him. However, he didn't expect that it wasn't an attack but a suction force, so sudden and violent.

He is now in the void, standing between ancient prohibitions. He has no place to rely on, and he can't resist the suction force. He was sucked in immediately.

Qin Sang felt a dizziness and nausea, he strained with all his might to maintain his balance, urging the Ruyi Orb, trying repeatedly to break free from the suction force but to no avail. He had to prioritize self-preservation for now.

...

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

Qin Sang heard the urgent wind rushing past, feeling as if he was falling rapidly.

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

But at this moment he could no longer tell which way was which, and had no idea where he would be drawn to.

The good news is that the force field is very sturdy. Aside from suction, he hasn't been harmed by any other attacks.

“What caused this metamorphosis Could the cicada's molt be the key to unlocking some kind of secret realm”

Qin Sang was temporarily unharmed, these thoughts flashed through his mind one by one.

Just now, the moment Qin Sang touched the cicada shell, he vaguely felt that this cicada shell didn't seem to be left by a Bahichi Heart Cicada. It seemed to have been refined.

Before he could understand, a change occurred.

Just then, Qin Sang suddenly noticed something strange in the distance. He caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure from the corner of his eye.

His expression changed subtly, his heart filled with caution to the extreme. Then he realized it was a slightly disheveled and familiar figure, none other than Liuli, who should have been at Taotu Lake!

Glassware is not lacking in defensive artifacts, but it lacks a universal protection like the如意寶珠.

She struggled against the suction, her dress in disarray.

Realizing an unexpected guest had appeared beside her, Liuli's eyes flashed with caution. When she saw it was Qin Sang, her expression relaxed, and she gave him a questioning look.

The two were supposed to be in two different places, but they were sucked into the same place.

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

They are like two dancers, waltzing within the vacuum's pull, constantly spinning and swirling. Their movements are too chaotic, lacking structure.

The two made every effort to get as close to each other as possible, so as not to be separated again by the swirling vortex of suction.

Facing the unknown, two people working together have a much greater ability to cope with danger than one person alone.

Qin Sang opened his palm to face Liuli, revealing a cicada shell.

Just then, the moment the suction force erupted, Qin Sang did not forget his duty. He quickly snatched the Eight-Winged Heart Cicada's chrysalis out.

The molt of the cicada is crucial.

Liuli's cultivation of the Bing Po Divine Light, perhaps, could shed some light on this matter.

Seeing the cicada shed its skin, Liuli's eyes lit up.

'Whoosh!'

Just then, the suction power suddenly vanished into thin air.

The two of them were thrown into a strange space together.

Qin Sang reacted extremely quickly, immediately stabilizing his figure and shaking off the inertia caused by the suction.

Before Qin Sang could even make out the surroundings, he flicked his sleeve robe, and demonic fire roared out, transforming into a fiery dragon circling his body, on guard.

'Bang!'

Qin Sang fell heavily to the ground.

The sound of landing echoed around.

It is clearly a confined space here.

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

The tip of my nose seemed to catch a faint scent of blood. It wasn't normal.

Qin Sang frowned, a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Then, Liuli also landed beside him and transmitted her voice: “According to the ancient texts of Tingxue Building, this is the cicada shell of the Eight-Winged Ice Cicada. It has a...

"

The eight-winged ice cicada and the eight-winged heart cicada, differing only by a single character, both refer to a type of spirit insect. However, different lineages of transmission record slight variations in their descriptions.

The appearance of the eight-winged cicada is like a sculpture carved from Xuanbing. The name "ice cicada" is more descriptive.

Before Liuli could finish her words, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Over these years, you have been ceaselessly buying out experts from various veins within the sects, eliminating dissidents. You truly have put a lot of thought into this. Even without this incident at the Holy Land, after leaving, you would have attacked me, wouldn't you Now your wings are full, and you are bold and arrogant, daring to entangle them in murdering the master within the Holy Land. Alas, old man has been planning for this day for hundreds of years, how could I allow a little girl like you to ruin it so easily…"

The speaker's voice was hoarse and cold, like the whisper of a demon.

There are actually other people here!

Just hearing this sound, Liuli's heart filled with a bone-chilling coldness, as if frozen solid. She instinctively drew her phoenix-shaped sword, remaining infinitely vigilant.

At this moment, Qin Sang standing beside Liuli had eyes like swords, staring straight ahead, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They were sucked into a spacious cavern, standing at the edge of it.

Qin Sang's previous sniff of blood was not an illusion. Within the cave, there was a circular blood pool filled with bright red blood.

Three ice platforms extended from within the blood pool.

The ice platform was covered in runes, densely packed and meticulously drawn with blood lines. Under the reflection of the bloodlight, the ice platform resembled a bloody altar, crimson and glaring, radiating an eerie feeling.

A strange scene brought a huge shock to Qin Sang and Liuli's minds.

Most astonishing of all, on one ice rink sat a person slumped over.

Please note: I've removed the content within the tags as requested. If you have other text you'd like translated, just paste it in!

This person is actually Xuan Tian Gong's Great Elder—Tong Lingyu!

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

Tong Lingyu was no longer her former radiant self. Her whole body was stained with blood, her breath faint, and she was severely injured. Two wounds left by sharp blades marred her pretty face, making her look pitifully vulnerable.

Blood threads grew from the ice platform, piercing deep into Tong Lingyu's legs.

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

At this moment, her legs were covered in blood vessels, tightly entangled and unable to move.

>

And the blood thread kept spreading throughout her body, like chains, or bloodworms that never stopped sucking her life force, pulling her into the abyss.

Tong Lingyu had almost lost the ability to resist, allowing the blood threads to consume her. The spirit treasure she wielded, the Four-Headed Flying Serpent Seal, lay abandoned at the edge of the blood pool. She was powerless to control it and could only wait for death.

This scene was extremely frightening and eerie.

The speaker was not Tong Lingyu, the voice came from a coffin of ice standing at the edge of the blood pool.

The ice coffin has already been opened.

But the people inside didn't come out. The coffin was shrouded in a cold mist, and their figures were slightly blurry.

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

This person was dressed in a white robe and wore a jade crown. He had a dignified appearance, but his skin was extremely pale, with blue veins prominent and no blood color, unlike a normal person. This contrasted greatly with the young spirit, Tong Lingyu, whose body was stained with fresh blood.

The four-winged serpent seal was thrown at his feet, as if in submission to him.

In the vast cave, besides Qin Sang and Liuli, there were only the Coffin Man and Tong Lingyu. There was no sign of other Xuan Tian Gong cultivators.

> Saw this person.

Qin Sang's pupils suddenly constricted.

This is a test.

He had heard Shi Xue describe the appearance of the master of Xuan Tian Palace, and the man in the coffin was actually Yin Changsheng!

The eerie scene made Qin Sang's heart suddenly tighten, a sense of foreboding overwhelming him.

From Xuan Tian Gong's palace master, Qin Sang felt an extremely dangerous feeling. This feeling, even facing the Demon-Confounding Elder and the Heavenly Peng Great Sage, had never been experienced before.

Demons invade the sacred land.

Instead of driving out demons, the two leaders of Xuan Tian Palace are fighting amongst themselves here.

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

Outside the blood pool, there was utter devastation. The ground was littered with icicles, a clear sign of a fierce battle. Tong Lingyu had been utterly defeated, her spirit treasure lost, and she herself captured and imprisoned within the blood pool.

What on earth happened

Why were they, themselves and Liuli, brought in to witness this

Cicada slough... is a trap!

Qin Sang suddenly remembered Bing Yao reminding Liuli's words - be careful of the palace master!

This trap was most likely prepared for Bing Yao originally.

Bing Yao should not have discovered that the cicada shell was a trap, otherwise she would definitely have warned Liuli and wouldn't let her come back to retrieve the treasure.

However, she sensed danger from the Palace Master and fled to the Beichen Realm. Later, she was trapped in the Ziwei Palace and by a twist of fate, escaped a catastrophe.

They, along with Liuli, helped her escape in a daze.

What is the master's purpose

The other two ice platforms in the blood pool, were they prepared for myself and Liuli

Is this person really Yin Changsheng, or not If so, why would the esteemed Palace Master attack a rising star within the sect

One after another, thoughts flashed through Qin Sang's mind.

He witnessed a demon possessing someone at the Qisha Hall with his own eyes, making him highly sensitive to such events. He subconsciously associated this with that possibility. Coincidentally, there was also a place where demons were sealed in Beihai.

However, none of that mattered. Qin Sang's only thought at the moment was to leave the grotto!

Though Tong Lingyu, wielding the Spirit Treasures, met such a tragic end, Qin Sang wouldn't belittle herself. However, she didn't think she could defeat the Palace Master using the Sun God Tree, which she couldn't truly control.

If the shrine maiden is possessed, she will have the power of the demon soul from before, which would be even more terrifying!

Qin Sang's divine sense swept behind him, and his expression changed slightly.

After they were sucked in, the suction and entrance mysteriously disappeared.

Ancient secrets abound within the grotto; it's easy to enter, but difficult to leave.

Qin Sang remained composed and secretly cooperated with the Sky-Eye Butterfly to search for an escape route.

in the blood pool.

Tong Lingyu's breathing grew rapid, she was gradually losing control, unable to stop the blood from spreading. A bitter smile crept across her face, "You haven't entered the Holy Land twice. I knew you would eventually take action against me, just didn't expect you to choose this place. If I had known, I shouldn't have wasted so much time confirming your injuries."

“I'm curious, what led you to this conclusion. Over the years, I've only guided you in cultivating special techniques and spells from behind the scenes. I haven't interfered with anything else you've done.”

Yin Changsheng seemed not to see Qin Sang and Liuli at the edge of the stone cave, or perhaps, he simply didn't care about them.

He lowered his head slightly, the frigid tone of his voice wavering for the first time. He was curious as to where he had given himself away. Tong Lingyu was certain that this palace master did not have good intentions.

Demon invasion.

Tong Lingyu saw an opportunity.

She had originally planned to wait until after returning from the Holy Land before taking action, and had been preparing for it all along. Now that the Holy Land is in chaos, it's a perfect opportunity for the Demon-Confounding Elder and the Heavenly Peng Great Saint to test Yin Changsheng.

If she had the chance, she would ruthlessly surround and kill Yin Changsheng.

Xuan Tian Gong was facing internal and external troubles.

She can only choose to solve the internal problems first.

>

Unexpectedly, Yin Changsheng was a step ahead. He acted first and overpowered Tong Lingyu, who was caught completely off guard and captured alive.

Hearing this, Qin Sang woke up.

As they entered the sacred ground, Tong Lingyu sent a voice transmission telling him to meet her deep within the sanctuary. This was not the Palace Master's intention, but rather Tong Lingyu's plan to have him help her encircle and kill the Palace Master.

Qin Sang secretly thought, "No wonder."

After the chaotic Demon Banquet, Tong Lingyu readily agreed to all his requests and pulled him into Tingxue Lou's camp, deliberately concealing his identity within Xuantian Palace.

When he and Liuli formed a Taoist couple, Tong Lingyu stopped them at the foot of Lingxiao Peak, preventing him from confronting the Palace Master.

Although the reasons are all very reasonable.

But these incidents, one after another, all bore the mark of guidance by the spirit jade. This allowed him to move just outside the Palace Master's sight, and subsequently, he could act with unexpected surprise.

"Before Bing Yao left, she hinted at me to be careful. At the time, I didn't understand and wasn't alerted. I never thought that the Palace Master, a revered teacher from my childhood, would harbor ill intentions towards us!"

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

Tong Lingyu's voice was extremely complex, with pain as well.

Yin Changsheng's might shook the North Sea, his bearing surpassing all in the cultivation world. Who wouldn't revere him

In Xuan Tian Palace, Yin Changsheng is the rock that keeps everything steady. He is a respected master who cares deeply for his disciples.

Could everything be an illusion

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

Is everything a disguise

"Ice Yao..."

Yin Changsheng's voice was soft, recalling the distant name. "Among you all, I held the highest regard for her. She was intelligent, perceptive, a pity she disappeared and I haven't been able to find her since. Thankfully, she cultivated a decent disciple. However, this is not enough for her to see through my plan."

Tong Lingyu took a deep breath, “That's when I became more vigilant, until... Luo Yun, senior brother, attacked the bottleneck of the Yuan Ying later stage. The Xuan Tian lineage claimed that he failed to break through, his true essence backlash and died, only then did I confirm it was you!”

"Luo Yun!"

Yin Changsheng suddenly realized.

“You knew it from then on, I was still not careful enough and didn't notice you spying in the shadows. First, going mad with cultivation, and last time being injured by that mysterious high damage, it turns out it was all intentional. You deliberately suppressed my cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul mid-stage… It’s amazing that you could endure for so long. With you as the Grand Elder, it should have been a blessing for Xuantian Palace.”

Yin Changsheng let out a light sigh.

Before the words had even left his mouth, cold mist swirled within the ice coffin. Yin Changsheng waved his arm, and a piece of black ice flew out from his sleeve, landing on another ice platform.

A handsome young man was frozen inside.

This person's aura is actually at the late stage of Nascent Soul!

The moment he fell on the ice rink, blood frantically spread upwards, effortlessly piercing through the ice and deeply into the handsome young man's body. It quickly covered his entire body.

The young man's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he were still alive.

"Luo Yun, senior brother!"

"Tong Lingyu let out a pained cry, her expression deepening. 'How could you bear to do this, after how much Master Luo Yun revered you and saw you as his teacher!'"

Her sobs were a plea, as if making one last attempt to awaken even a flicker of conscience in Yin Changsheng.

"If Bing Yao's junior sister hadn't disappeared, if Luo Yun senior brother hadn't been murdered by you..."

Our generation should have produced at least three great cultivators!

How prosperous will Xuan Tian Gong be

> Everything was destroyed because of your selfishness!

Where has the Palace Master, whom everyone respects, gone

"After all... is it worth it"

Is it worth it

Is it worth it

Every question echoed in the grotto.

Yin Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, but he fell silent for a moment.

"So what if it destroys a generation!"

>

Yin Changsheng's voice was colder than before, with a hint of madness, and he roared.

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

"Help me transcend to godhood, and you shall die a worthy death!"

Tong Lingyu was utterly hopeless about Yin Changsheng, and she closed her eyes in pain.

"You weren't injured during the tribulation, you should have died hundreds of years ago. To survive, you used dark arts to avoid it, sealing yourself in an ice coffin and defying heaven. The dark arts have made you demonic, and now you use them again to break through! You are mad, no longer Yin Changsheng! You absolutely cannot succeed!"

A cold mist is swirling.

Yin Changsheng let out a cold snort, his expression becoming increasingly frantic. "Although you're trapped in the middle stage of Yuan Ying, your divine consciousness has reached the level of transformation, and your cultivation technique even resembles that of a great cultivator. You can barely withstand the Yin Blood Pool, but I will show you firsthand what it takes. As for the other ice platform..."

Yin Changsheng finally turned his gaze, looking directly at Qin Sang and Liuli for the first time!ike me to translate!Yugong retracted his smile, looking over with a half-smile, "No matter where it leads, wouldn't fellow Daoists like to take a look"As soon as these words were spoken, a hot gleam a...
