nce you found the young one, wouldn't you know who it belonged to This old man's treasure, that kid wouldn't dare throw it around carelessly. Could it be he fell into your hands"Let me know if you hav...The Cloud Wanderer saw Qin Sang's worry and confusion, he leaped forward and came to the vicinity of the Southern Ming Inferno. He looked around and suddenly flicked his fingers, sending countless streaks of spiritual energy into the walls of the dark passage.

The next moment, a faint blue light suddenly lit up in the tunnel.

Only on the walls of the dark passage did countless complex and bizarre runes appear inexplicably. As Yun Youtzi moved, the runes were activated, and the blue light grew brighter and brighter. From within, a faint outline of an array emerged.

Though Qingguang is far from comparable to Nanhua, it still deserves a place among the great swords.

Qin Sang discovered that this spirit formation was completely different from the previous remnants of formations and immortal prohibitions he had encountered. It didn't seem to be something inherent to Ziwei Palace.

>

However, although it is not as complex and mystical as the formations outside, it is still extremely ingenious, forming its own system. It is by no means something an ordinary person could set up.

Anyway, Qin Sang couldn't understand it. Looking at it twice more gave her a dizzy feeling.

A azure light shone brightly.

The next moment, a fiery red bird flew out from inside, chirping and circling around Yun Youzi before landing gently on his arm. It bowed its head and began to preen its feathers.

The little bird looks lively and energetic.

But, a divine sense sweep could see the clue. This little bird was not a living creature, but a puppet woven from some kind of spirit wood, incredibly delicate and ingenious!

The little bird was entirely crimson, its feathers seeming to burn with flames. However, it wasn't due to its original spiritual material; its aura was strikingly similar to that of the Southern Ming Li Fire.

Its skeleton and feathers, respectively red long strips and some slender leaves, after being trimmed, are now under the help of the spirit formation absorbing the Nan Ming Li Huo, undergoing a transformation, it is no longer recognizable as what the original spiritual material was.

Over the years, Qin Sang had seen quite a few cultivators who mastered puppetry, but such a clever puppet, almost indistinguishable from the real thing, besides the Qingluan made by Granny Jing, there was only this little bird.

Who put the bird here, or was it always there

Qin Sang secretly marveled.

The Cloud Traveler held a small bird in his palm, saying with satisfaction, "Years ago, someone buried this thing here, allowing it to absorb the power of the Southern Ming's Fiery Inferno. After many years of nurturing, this thing finally assimilated some of the Southern Ming Fire’s essence. With the help of the spirit formation and this spirit puppet, this bird can open a passage in the flames. It is not difficult to pass through the Southern Ming's Fire, but the difficulty lies in obtaining fragments of the alchemy cauldron. Among the people I can ask, only my brother Qin can do it."

“Oh”

Qin Sang withdrew his gaze from the little bird spirit puppet and curiously looked at Yun Youzi. What obstacle was there on the other side, why was Yun Youzi so certain he could help him obtain the pieces of the Dan Ding

The Cloud Wanderer extended a finger, soothing the bird spirit puppet. Pointing forward, he said:

“Not far ahead, the secret passage was severed in two by sword slashes. It used to be a way in and out, but the sword energy within the cuts hasn't dissipated, so no one dares to enter.”

"The one who wields the sword should cultivate an icy path, and the remaining sword qi is a kind of Xuanbing Sword Qi.

"

"The sword qi gathered but did not disperse, and it stirred the spiritual energy of this place, forming an extremely cold killing wind that raged around the sword mark all year round. It's just that the outer illusion array blocked it, so you couldn't see it."

“What’s even more frightening is that within this sinister aura, there's a lingering trace of the Xuanbing sword intent, imbued with sword marks. This sword intent has now evolved into an extreme and eerie chill. Qin brother, don't you find this combination quite familiar”

Qin Sang was startled.

Hearing the Cloud Wanderer describe these characteristics, Qin Sang immediately remembered the Xuan Shang Shafeng he had encountered in Wuyashan Valley.

Xuan Shuang Sha Feng is naturally formed, while the Sha Feng here was born due to the influence of sword qi. They have different origins but sound very similar.

Qin Sang discovered that Yun Youzi seemed to be hinting at something, his expression shifting slightly. How could he know that Qin Sang had met Xuan Shuang Sha Feng

"Senior, that day... were you still able to sense what was happening outside"

Qin Sang's face was full of surprise.

At that time, while picking night-blooming lilies in Wuyagu Valley, Yun Youzi used the Qing Deng and Wu Xia Zhu to resist the Xuan Shuang Sha Feng, barely holding on. Qin Sang had originally planned to help him.

He even had the energy to sense himself!

The Cloud-Wandering Son nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "Though the old Taoist was indeed at his end back then, my spiritual awareness was keen. I vaguely sensed another person's aura passing by nearby. Considering that someone appeared there without harming me or stealing the Night-Lantern Lily, after much thought, it could only be you, younger brother."

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

“This…”

The words of the Cloud Wanderer greatly exceeded Qin Sang's expectations.

No wonder that outside the Purple Micro Palace, Yun Youzi would first ask for his opinion, whether the man in black was the master of Wujigong.

Because he knew he had reached the end of the ice cave and witnessed the battle, he may have seen their true faces!

Although Cloud Wanderer hadn't witnessed the battle firsthand, he could still guess what had happened. No one usually visited Wuyagou, let alone so many young children, and they just happened to be there.

Qin Sang's brow furrowed.

Since the Cloud Wanderer now knows about Yi Tian Nie's existence, Qin Sang briefly recounted his experience with Yu Hua in the ice cave.

“Senior, I didn't intend to go in. I was forced by a powerful enemy and had nowhere else to turn. At that time, in the ice cave, I intended to help you, but later you defeated him with your own strength…”

The Cloud Wanderer waved his hand, earnestly saying, "Don't think I'm an ungrateful person, brother. I know your intentions. It was a test, like a fledgling breaking free from its shell. Even if it were me, I wouldn't have rushed to help. Besides, my getting the Night Bloom Lily is all thanks to you. Remember that tremor at the end of the Ice Cave You were standing in front of me then, perfectly blocking a gust of Xuan Frost Devil Wind. That gave me the chance to rush past..."

The cloud wanderer bowed to Qin Sang and said, "Younger brother, you must have a secret method to resist the chill of the Xuan霜煞 wind, right Your cultivation is far superior to before, so the power of your secret method should be even stronger. Please, younger brother, retrieve the Dan Ding fragments from the sword qi blizzard."

Qin Sang secretly let out a breath of relief.

He was most afraid that the Jade Buddha would be exposed.

The Jade Buddha was his most important secret, the foundation of his standing in the cultivation world. Not even his closest confidants were allowed to reveal it.

Fortunately, the Cloud Traveler was misled by the Xuan Shuang Sha Feng and went the wrong way. He thought he only had secret techniques or treasures that could resist the erosion of cold. With the Cloud Traveler's vast experience, he probably couldn't imagine that there was such a strange thing as the Jade Buddha in the world.

>

After a moment's thought, Qin Sang readily agreed, "If the sword qi's might doesn't surpass Xuan Shang's by too much, I should be able to withstand it. Senior, why don't you separate the flames and give it a try"

With Yufo's abilities, even if the bird spirit puppet had problems and Nan Ming Li Huo blocked the way, he could still withstand the sword qi and wind pressure and leave from the other end, fearless of being trapped inside.

Qin Sang gave Yun Youzi a deep look, this was also a test.

He believed in the Cloud Wanderer's character, but wealth moved people's hearts.

May the hearts of old friends remain unchanged!

Seeing Qin Sang agree, Yun Youzi's expression turned solemn. "I'll do my best to control the spirit array and spirit puppets, and I can hold on for ten breaths. Within those ten breaths, no matter what happens, you must come out!"
