es.The masked man chased into a grove of trees, his figure suddenly stopped. He had lost Tan Hao's trace.This forest is not densely packed with ancient trees, and the surrounding space is unobstructed...Qin Sang suddenly turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and sized up the thin old man. He casually asked, "Was that you contacting someone outside just now"

The withered old man's face changed, but he quickly concealed it, forcing a smile and saying: "Qin Daoist friend, what are you talking about What person"

Qin Sang stared at the gaunt old man, a hint of mockery curling his lips.

Of the six people present, none noticed that before entering the cave, he had left the Celestial Eye Butterfly outside.

After completing its second metamorphosis, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly gained the ability to become invisible. To Qin Sang's surprise, the butterfly, which had just undergone metamorphosis, was already incredibly powerful, able to evade the perception of cultivators in the early stage of forming pills.

If the Sky-Gazing Butterfly hadn't been his natal insect, with this connection binding them together, even if he had searched meticulously, he wouldn't have noticed it if the Sky-Gazing Butterfly was hidden before him.

Invisibility is the only new ability that a Tianmu Butterfly gains after metamorphosis. Compared to cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, demon spirits in the Demon Spirit Stage, and even other second-stage spirit insects, it is undoubtedly very fragile.

Perhaps this is why, even enemies whose cultivation realm surpasses them greatly can be deceived, allowing them to survive in the perilous world of cultivating immortals.

Just now, outside the cave, Qin Sang attracted everyone's attention with the frost-covered grass, then quietly released the Sky-Gazing Butterfly. As expected, no one noticed.

Qin Sang allowed the Tianmu Butterfly to lurk on a tree.

Perhaps because of the refining process using a life-consuming worm and Qin Sang's blood as nourishment, or perhaps there was an error in the records of the Yu Ling Sect, the Sky-Eye Butterfly was not as fragile as described. It didn't die with a single touch.

After the second transformation, its strength has also increased and become much stronger.

Although it couldn't compare to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still capable of defeating ordinary Qi Refining cultivators. Coupled with its extremely powerful concealment ability, surviving in dangerous situations would not be difficult. That's why Qin Sang felt at ease leaving the Sky-Eye Butterfly outside.

In the cave filled with cold mist, the celestial eye butterfly was useless. Qin Sang didn't dare to release it at all. If he did, he would die the moment his head poked out. It was better to stay outside and watch the movements outside the cave for him.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, you can remind him immediately and help him escape in time.

He had a blood connection with his natal insect, the sky-eyed butterfly. Although the celestial eye butterfly wasn't very intelligent, Qin Sang could still vaguely sense its thoughts.

Now it's just a thought. As Tianmudie's cultivation level improves, this perception will become clearer and clearer. Eventually, Tianmudie will be like a clone of Qin Sang, able to see what he sees.

Of course, this kind of perception only works within a certain range, and if there is a strong barrier in the middle, it may be cut off.

However, the cave wasn't as deep as imagined, and the connection between Qin Sang and Tianmu Die still existed.

Qin Sang didn't trust the short and stout cultivator, nor the other five. He dared to participate because his escape speed was far superior to that of cultivators of the same rank, confident that he could escape at the first sign of danger.

He thought that if people turned their faces, the reason might be that there was an extraordinarily valuable treasure in the cave mansion, or that the short and fat cultivator had ulterior motives and did something wrong that was discovered.

But unexpectedly, just as we entered the cave and hadn't even seen what Yuan Ying's cave dwelling looked like, something happened.

Just as Qin Sang was about to step into the forbidden rift, Tianmu Die suddenly sent a thought. The cold mist showed unusual fluctuations, as if a phantom had rushed out and vanished. Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat.

There were only seven of them in the cave.

Before entering the cave, the seven of them kept a wary eye on each other, unable to leave anyone else's sight. The warning prohibition was also jointly set up by everyone. Unless others had similar means like the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, it would be difficult to make a move under the watchful eyes of so many people.

Only just being struck back by the forbidden counterattack, everyone was scattered and busy dealing with the impact of the black light, momentarily unaware.

If an insider gives a signal to outsiders, this is the only chance.

At this moment, Qin Sang immediately felt like beating a retreat.

Although they carefully explored the waters around the island, their range was limited.

If someone is lurking further out and receives the signal, they could join forces with internal traitors, making it difficult for the Nine Dragons Heavenly Chariot Talisman to function at its full potential within the confined cave.

>

The first person Qin Sang suspected was naturally the short and fat cultivator. Using the Yuan Ying's cave as bait to lure others here, and then joining forces with his accomplices hiding here to ambush them, was a natural course of action.

However, as the instigator, the short and stout monk would be watched by everyone else. Even in the darkness, he couldn't escape everyone's gaze, putting him at high risk of exposure.

Seeing that the emaciated old man was behind him, Qin Sang immediately suspected something was amiss. When the black light appeared, he had secretly activated the Nine Dragons Sky Chariot Talisman to retreat, it was impossible for anyone to retreat farther than him.

Qin Sang unexpectedly used words to trick the thin old man, who was caught off guard and revealed his true colors.

Is this person a companion of the short and stout monk, or did he bring him here himself

None of this matters!

The signal has been sent, and the ambushers outside will be here soon. Before we know our enemy's true intentions, we absolutely cannot let ourselves be trapped in this cave.

To make a long story short, Qin Sang immediately made a judgment.

Qin Sang wore a cold smile, seeing the thin old man's palm clutching the bone fan magic treasure tighten. He didn't hesitate to strike!

"Whew!"

The Nine Nether Demon Fire transformed into a fire dragon, suddenly charging towards the gaunt old man's face.

>

The emaciated old man didn't expect Qin Sang to take action so decisively without any warning. Startled, he hastily waved his bone fan, striking out a pale white light pillar to block the Netherfire.

Then, the handprints changed continuously, the bone fan creaked, and the fan bones protruded, transforming into a number of slender bone swords that flashed with cold light.

Before the bone fan could fully change, the wiry old man's face contorted. From the black light emanating from his sides, two shadowy figures shot out simultaneously.

In the battle outside Dushan Island with the young man in black robes, Qin Sang learned his lesson. Even facing opponents of the same realm, he no longer thought of capturing them alive for interrogation, but instead struck them down with lightning-fast force.

He certainly didn't want to experience the power of the Thunderclap Seal again.

The speed of the Flying Demon was extremely fast, instantly approaching. Its ghostly claws transformed into thousands, and a thick stench of corpse qi erupted.

"The level of Golden Core refining corpses..."

The emaciated old man was greatly startled. In his haste, he hadn't even had time to react when the pale light from his bone fan was shattered by the Jiuyou Demon Fire as if it were made of paper.

The Ten Directions Yama Banners arrayed, possessing the might comparable to a mid-grade magic treasure, how could it be stopped by his mere bone fan

At this moment, the gaunt old man finally realized how terrifying Qin Sang's strength was.

'Crack...'

With a brittle crack, the bone fan was flung away by the Jiuyou Devil Fire. The wizened old man's chest cavity was wide open. The Flying Asura seized the opportunity. Corpse Qi erupted from his ghostly claws, effortlessly shattering the wizened old man's protective true essence and plunging straight into his abdomen with a violent twist.

The withered old man let out a shrill scream, horrified to find that the Nine Nether Demon Fire was already right in front of him.

In an instant, the gaunt old man turned into a fireball. Qin Sang quietly slipped away with his pouch.
