Chapter 741: Meeting an Enemy

and flipped inwards, revealing a passage leading to the inside.And Qin Sang and they, had already escaped the blockade of the mist sea at the same time the restriction was broken."Come on in, it's saf...At the same time, Qin Sang noticed that there were eyes watching him.

He turned his head and saw a window, in front of which stood a man who nodded to him.

"Late stage of knot formation."

>

Qin Sang secretly thought, as expected, this time the Qi Sha Dian had undergone changes. The one who broke through the formation was a great witch from the Wu clan, and some people were scared away. Those who dared to participate were all masters.

"I don't think there will be too many people. The question is how many teams the Dongji Alliance plans to send in. Right now, we don't know what the mission is, or even who the leader is. To suppress so many experts, the leader would have to at least be at the peak of the Jindan period. They wouldn't send a Yuan Ying ancestor, would they Even a powerful Jindan cultivator would find it hard to participate in a fight between Yuan Ying."

Qin Sang muttered to herself, walking into the wooden building.

As dusk fell, Qin Sang, who was meditating in his room, sensed the activation of the wooden house's barrier. With a flick of his hand, a streak of azure light resembling tadpoles flew into the room.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly. He crushed the green light, stood up, walked out of the wooden building, and walked toward the innermost wooden building. Finally, he saw the leader of this trip.

In the hall, there were already six people sitting. Qin Sang still noticed this person at the first time.

His cultivation level was the highest. Even if he wasn't at the peak of the Core Formation Stage, he wouldn't be far off.

This man was dressed in a long robe, appearing to be around forty years old. He had star-shaped eyebrows and sword-like eyes, radiating an imposing aura even without anger.

"Qingfeng Daochang."

Upon seeing Qin Sang, the man rose and bowed, saying, "Xiang has been waiting for the Daoist Master for a long time. Today, I happen to have something to do outside and was unable to greet the Daoist Master in person. I hope the Daoist Master will not mind."

"You flatter me, Xiang Dao."

Qin Sang returned the salute with a courteous bow and curiously looked at the other five people.

>

Among these five, one was the man who had greeted him in the morning. He sat beside a beautiful woman, and the two seemed very close, possibly lovers.

The man was a late stage cultivator of the Jie Dan realm, while the woman's cultivation level was about the same as Qin Sang's, having likely just broken through to the middle stage recently.

Both husband and wife were very kind and proactively gestured to Qin Sang.

To their left, a cold and aloof young man sat alone with his sword. Noticing Qin Sang's gaze, he merely glanced at him coldly without any expression.

On the left side of the youth, there was a fat man sitting on a chair, his flesh nearly overflowing.

He squeezed out a smile, his facial muscles trembling.

These two are both at the peak of the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. Logically speaking, they were most likely stuck at a bottleneck and had no choice but to enter the Qisha Hall in search of opportunities.

The last one was a grotesque figure with half his face covered by a mask. The mask seemed to be fused with the bones of his face, crawling with blood vessels and his left eye glowed a sinister red. At first glance, he looked like a devil.

Compared to him, Qin Sang wearing a cloak wasn't so strange.

This person's cultivation was also very strange. On the surface, he was in the middle stage of forming alchemy, very mediocre. But when his evil eye looked over, Qin Sang actually felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes.

Everyone wasn't hiding their cultivation, Qin Sang could easily tell, but these people's strength couldn't be judged by common sense. Those who dared to enter the Hall of Seven Kills must have a few life-saving tricks up their sleeves.

“Let me introduce you all, this is Daoist Qingfeng from the Qiong Yu Merchant Guild...”

After the leader's introduction, they both learned about each other's background.

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

Besides the leader, the other five all came from various chambers of commerce in the Eastern Pole Alliance, just like Qin Sang. The man and woman were indeed a couple, both from the same chamber of commerce. The man's surname was Liu.

The leader, named Xiang Yi, didn't seem to be from the Chamber of Commerce. His origins were quite mysterious. Qin Sang tactfully refrained from asking further questions.

After the initial greeting, Qin Sang also sat down in a corner.

"Xiang Dao-you, this time going to Qisha Hall, are just the seven of us"

The Liu couple seemed quite familiar with Xiang Yi, directly and frankly asking, "What exactly does the business alliance want us to do Fellow Daoist has been tight-lipped all along, but can you finally tell us now"

“There is also a fellow cultivator from the Nine Star Society who will be here soon. With eight of us, we are already capable of handling most dangers. Having any more would attract too much attention and make us conspicuous to those with ill intentions, which would be detrimental to our operation.”

>

Xiang Yi spoke in a flat tone, "As for the mission of the Business Alliance, I'm afraid I can't disclose it. You will know when you enter the Hall of Seven Kills. This is the order of the alliance leader, and I dare not disobey."

Upon hearing about the Nine Stars Society, Qin Sang's face froze. He thought to himself, "Could it be this coincidental"

The others frowned upon hearing Yi’s words, while the young swordsman raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

That fat man then let out a sly smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiang, since we cannot reveal the details of the mission, we dare not disobey the Grand Master's orders. But could you at least give us some hints about the difficulty level and estimated time required As far as I know, the outer fairy array of the Qisha Hall is no ordinary thing. Even if we forcefully break through it, the strongest spirit array can only hold for a limited time before collapsing. We must leave before the array closes. If the mission takes too long, we won't even have time to search for treasures. Wouldn't that mean we're just spending our spirit stones working for the Shang Alliance What a waste of time!"

Saying that, the fat man looked around at everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement, and Qin Sang also chimed in.

Item Yi didn't seem bothered, his expression unchanged. He said calmly, "Rest assured, fellow cultivators. I can guarantee that this journey will take no more than a quarter of the allotted time, leaving you with ample time to spare. As long as we all work together to assist me, things should progress smoothly and even faster. As for the dangers along the way, all I can say is that I have made adequate preparations. However, the Qisha Hall is a place of unpredictable winds and waves, and no one can be certain if there will be any unforeseen events."

"A fellow cultivator, if you know in your heart what's right, then I am content. My admiration for your character remains steadfast."

The fat man grinned and stopped asking.

Everyone was hesitant to pry further, so they asked a few innocuous questions, waiting for the last person to arrive.

After a short while, footsteps could be heard outside.

The gatekeeper spoke in a loud voice, “Elder Xiang, Daoist Cui from the Jiuxing Society has arrived.”

Qin Sang's eyelids jumped, and he raised his head to look outside the hall. He saw a thin young man with a sinister gleam in his eyes walk in gracefully.

If it's not Cui Ji, then who is it

After driving Cui Ji away from Wuyuan Island, Qin Sang never saw him again. The man was surprisingly clean-living and did not continue his spree of mayhem.

I had been on guard for his secret revenge. But since he never made a move, I let it go.

Compared to over two decades ago, Cui Ji's aura was noticeably stronger, but his cultivation was still stuck at the middle stage of the Core Formation period, much like the sword-wielding youth.

Moreover, Cui Ji's current state is amiss. He's too thin, his skin is pale without a trace of blood color. It's very likely that he cultivated some kind of secret technique and encountered a setback.

"Is this guy stuck because of the bottleneck too"

Qin Sang's eyes were strange.

"Friend Cui has arrived, please sit down," Xiang Yi stood up to greet him.

Just as Cui Ji was about to sit down, he suddenly saw Qin Sang. A painful memory flooded his mind.

Both were wearing cloaks, and their auras were remarkably similar.

"Demon Daoist! It's you!"

Cui Ji was furious.

Here is the translation of your text:
