Chapter 2030: Dependence
n if he didn't participate in this trade fair, he would still be returning home with a full load. He attended the trade fair mainly to inquire about the route to the Thousand Demon Sea.The Hunyuan Ton...Though the Third Elder's spiritual awareness wasn't as keen as the two Void Refinement cultivators, seeing their expressions and Xin Shao's terrifyingly calm gaze, he immediately realized something grave had occurred.
'Slap!'
A long whip shot out from the sleeve of Elder Three, its crimson shadow lashing fiercely towards Young Master Xin. The attack was merciless and relentless.
As the whip shadow came, Xin Shaozhu's eyes didn't blink. Suddenly, the Third Elder felt a tightening sensation throughout his body and let out a muffled grunt before being kicked out of his spiritual body.
The whip's might was startling, but it couldn't withstand the power of the spirit orb. It flew back along with its master, not harming young Xin at all.
At this point, Zhong Liang and Pei Gong abandoned their conflict with each other.
Miss Xin's figure gradually faded, as if an invisible door appeared in mid-air, and she was about to pass through it to leave. If Miss Xin was just escaping, their reaction wouldn't be so intense.

Ke Xin, the young master, had been plotting for a long time. He used himself as bait and manipulated the three elders, leading them all here. His intentions are clearly enormous. For Ke Xin to do this, unless she is not worried about the Ke family being retaliated against in the future, she definitely wouldn't dare let them walk out alive!
A mere Qi Refining cultivator daring to scheme against two Nascent Soul cultivators It sounds like an outlandish tale, yet it truly happened to them.
They didn't know how Shao Xin had done it, but that ominous feeling grew stronger. The two cultivators felt a sense of unprecedented danger approaching them!
"Die!"
Pei Gongfeng was enraged. Just moments ago, he had appeared so composed and in control, but now Xin Shaozhu had slapped him across the face.
Zhongliang, the wandering swordsman, recalled his golden sword. Pei, the imperial attendant, was now able to fully manipulate the Yuan Yang Wuji Formation, giving up on capturing Meng Ling alive. For nine days, it hung suspended in mid-air, bursting with intense light, and the power of the entire formation surged wildly towards the Nine Suns Great Sun.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
A fiery torrent erupted from the heart of the Great Sun, hurtling towards Ming Ling and Xin Shao-zhu. The terrifying heat seemed capable of igniting even the void itself.
Before the fire stream arrived, the meditating spirit's body was already ablaze.
The Third Elder was implicated and lost his protection from the Myriad Spirit, truly feeling the might of the Yin Yang Infinite Formation. Even though the fire wasn't directed at him, he felt like he would be roasted to a crisp.
At the same time, Zhong Liang also made a move. The Nine-tiered Pagoda trembled gently, and each tier emitted a circle of dark gold light waves. The entire pagoda was dyed dark gold.
Visually, the pagoda seemed to have become countless times heavier, crashing down with force.
Even if it was a mountain beneath, the pagoda could crush its peak to dust. If the meditative spirit were struck, serious injury was inevitable, and Xin Shao-zhu who hid within the meditative spirit would be in grave danger as well.
The pagoda, the fire flow, any attack could easily obliterate any cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. The two cooperating for the first time were to deal with just a Nascent Soul cultivator, it had to be said that it was a great irony.
Here is the translation:

The stench of death was closing in, but Sin Shaozu's face remained calm. His eyes were cold and resolute.
“Aren’t you two always wanting to see the spirits Today, I shall grant you your wish!”
The spirit roared, a torrent of pure darkness flowing through its being, filling every limb and bone. Its body melted into a pool of black water, from which arms erupted, reaching out with grasping strength towards the enemy, as if to drag them into the abyss of darkness.
A black figure surged out along the arm, and Mei Ling instantly transformed into countless phantoms, madly charging towards the enemy. This scene was like a chaotic dance of demons. These demonic shadows shattered and exploded in front of the fire flow and pagoda, but the black water flowed endlessly, filling the void with an oppressive thickness.
At this moment, the Myriad Spirit erupted with unimaginable power. Of course, the price was also enormous. Everyone present could feel that the Myriad Spirit was consuming its source at a terrifying rate, this act was akin to self-destruction.
In order to deal with them, Master Xin was willing to destroy the family heirloom, the Ming Ling, here, and perish together!

The spirit guardians protected their master, and they were ultimately unable to keep Young Master Xin.
Sin Shao's figure completely faded and vanished, leaving no trace. All that remained in his place was a black stone, its surface inscribed with strange, unfamiliar runes.
Pei Gongfeng and Zhong Liang, the wandering scholar, looked at the black stone together. An extreme sense of danger surged into their hearts.
Both parties were too preoccupied to pay attention to the Elder Three, allowing him to escape with his life. The Elder Three was desperately trying to flee for his life, his strength paled in comparison to the two cultivators at the Refining Void stage. If Young Master Xin's scheme succeeded, the two cultivators at the Refining Void stage might still have a chance of survival, but he would undoubtedly die!
The aftershocks washed over one by one, the three elders like unrooted water lilies, gritting their teeth, seeing themselves about to escape the battlefield.
'Boom!'
The void vibrated incessantly.
The Third Elder's heart jumped violently, and he immediately saw a terrifying scene.
The sky, it has fallen!
>
The several islands ahead emitted a cracking sound, and in an instant, the mountain was covered with cracks, and countless boulders rolled down.
As the island shattered, the void seemed to collapse. The dark clouds that filled the sky lost their support.
The collapsing center was right behind him. Black clouds surged from all directions, and the three elders clearly saw tendrils of black cloud pouring down from the sky. This wasn't just a gathering of clouds; it meant that the entire island mountain formation was heading towards destruction. The violent energy of that destruction surged toward them.
The center of the great formation, black clouds collapsing, a waterfall of clouds surging and churning. This is the heart of the cloud waterfall, the center of destruction!
The Third Elder tried to flee, but it was too late. He was engulfed by the cloud of mist and his protective qi shattered instantly. Blood gushed from his mouth as he was severely injured in an instant.
The power of a massive destruction is too terrifying, it can destroy everything.
At this moment, the three elders vaguely saw two figures, Pei Gongfu and Zhong Liang, a wandering scholar, also madly rushing outwards, but they were repeatedly forced back by the cloud waterfall, instantly falling into despair.
Deep in the large formation.
Qin Sang's gaze was drawn by something behind him. He saw a mountain island broken and tilting, black clouds surging in the same direction.
That place seemed to have a deep pit, the lowest point, where dark clouds continuously flowed. Qin Sang saw the black clouds forming whirlpools, surging and crashing down from the sky like an unstoppable torrent. The destructive storm continued to spread, magnificent and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, Qin Sang understood that the grand formation wasn't collapsing from the outside in. The outer perimeter was the point of origin for its destruction, and the formation was collapsing inwards, with destructive energy converging there.
That place is the most dangerous, his position is actually safe, perhaps he needn't hide in a thousand-pound precaution.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
But, what caused the great formation's destruction The point of origin of its destruction isn't here, it likely has little to do with the Qianjun Barrier.
Just then, Qin Sang's eyes narrowed. He suddenly caught sight of a figure.
This man appeared out of nowhere, standing atop a crumbling island mountain. It was none other than Young Master Xin!
Xīn Shǎozhu stared at the cloud pit, his expression somewhat tense. As he felt the increasingly violent energy there, it was as expected, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Xin Shao's expression relaxed slightly, then suddenly stiffened because she also saw Qin Sang in the distance.
Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe she was seeing Qin Sang here.
Here, deep within the formation, Qin Sang should have been refining the boat in that ravine. Even if he had sensed the danger beforehand, he should have fled to outside the formation.
Nowadays, the grand destruction is in full swing. It's no surprise that Prefect Pei and Scholar Zhong Liang perished. The destructive storm will continue for a long time before it subsides, forming a natural barrier separating the inside from the outside.
According to common sense, Qin Sang absolutely shouldn't have come in.
Qin Sang saw Xin Shaozu's expression and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xin Shaozu triggered the great formation
Xin Shaozu's subsequent performance surprised Qin Sang somewhat.
Only then did young Master Xin quickly regain his composure, and he even proactively flew towards him with a normal expression, bowing respectfully. "Greetings, Elder Qin! With Elder Qin safe and sound, the younger generation feels at ease."
>
Qin Sang chuckled with a meaningful smile, "Young Master Xin didn't expect to meet this old man here, did you"
Young Master Xin paused.
"What a generous hand, Young Master Xin!"
Qin Sang looked deeply at Xin Shaozu, then turned his head to look at Yunkeng and said with emotion, "This time, Master Pei is afraid that he will be in danger."
His feelings were genuine.
Even though Xin Shao acted composed, her previous expressions were enough for Qin Sang to notice some clues.
He had already seen the subtle relationship between Pei Gongfeng and the Xin family. He never expected that Master Xin would dare to kill Pei Gongfeng.
If he knew that the other victim was also a cultivator of the middle stage of Refining Void, Bell Liang, he would surely be even more surprised.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xin Shao-zhu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Unless something unexpected happens, Elder Pei should meet his end here."
"Oh"
Qin Sang looked at Xin Shaozhu in surprise.
It's obvious that Xin Shaozhu's state is somewhat listless, and her behind-her spirit reflection has also disappeared. Even though Qin Sang doesn't know the inside story, he can guess that a Nascent Soul cultivator manipulating such a powerful existence as a spirit reflection must definitely pay a certain price.

For a woman to be able to maintain this composure in his presence now is truly remarkable.

“Having failed to kill this old man there, Young Master Xin, are you somewhat disappointed” Qin Sang’s voice was flat, yet concealed a murderous intent.
"Elder Qin, your wisdom is clear!"
Mr. Xin repeatedly explained, “The younger generation invited Elder Qin to refine weapons, it is not a lie. Furthermore, the younger generation does indeed want to use Elder Qin, but only to attract the attention of Master Pei with Elder Qin’s help, causing him to disperse his energy and neglect the younger generation, thus leading him into our trap. The younger generation and Elder Qin have no grievances or enmity, never wanting to harm Elder Qin. Otherwise, the younger generation would not have deliberately kept Elder Qin in the canyon.”
"Speaking, she pointed towards the chasm with her finger. 'Senior definitely can see that only at the very center of destruction is there a chance to keep Senior alive. This junior has put in all their effort, even risking their own life as bait, to just kill Pei Gongfeng. The canyon is still some distance away from there. With Senior's spiritual awareness and strength, once they sense something amiss, they would definitely be able to escape. They would only suffer some embarrassment, there would be absolutely no danger to their life!' "
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations coming from afar. He knew that Young Master Xin's words had some credibility to them. If he stayed honestly in the canyon and reacted quickly, fleeing to the outside of the formation, there was a high probability that he could escape.
However, these explanations are not enough.
“Miss Xin is indeed a heroine among women. This old man couldn't be sure of defeating Pei Gongfeng, yet she fell to him. However, the price must have been high, wasn't it”
He neither confirmed nor denied, his gaze sweeping over Xin Shaozhu's back, he probed.
xin Shao-zhu listened out Qin Sang's meaning, after a long silence, suddenly took a deep breath, and nodded heavily.

"Elder Qin, your eyes are like blazing torches! That's right, this junior paid a great price for this, leaving the soul of the blind spirit there with them to perish together."
Qin Sang's eyes flashed. He had thought that Mei Ling was seriously injured, or that Shao Xin might be unwell and unable to control his abilities for the time being, but he didn't expect that she would die along with Pei Gongfeng.
Is Lord Xin revealing himself directly, breaking the jar and smashing it However, even if she wanted to conceal it, it would be futile. As long as she makes a move, her true identity will be immediately exposed.
Actively revealing the self-destruction of Meiling indicates that she and the Xin family no longer pose a threat to her. Therefore, there is no need for her to act rashly against them. She can patiently listen to Meiling continue and perhaps find a way to reconcile. Indeed, she is a clever person.
Qin Sang did not make a move on the spot, not entirely because of these words. Rather, he discovered that as the formation neared destruction, there were frequent flashes of strange light in the deepest part of the formation, revealing unusual sights.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It is obvious that there are still secrets hidden here.
Sin Shao's move is very likely a ploy to achieve two birds with one stone, coming alone must have ulterior motives.
She can manipulate large formations to self-destruct, which shows she knows this place very well and could still be useful.
As Qin Sang had expected, Xin Shao immediately followed up with a solemn declaration: "Having lost the Mèi Ling, the Xin family has no one to rely on. This junior wishes to lead the Xin family and from now on pledge allegiance to Elder Qin, serving under his command!"
"Attachment"
Qin Sang sneered, "This old man doesn't want to follow in Pei Gongfeng's footsteps."
Xin Shaozhu let out a soft sigh and said softly, "To be honest with Elder Qin, besides Fellow Pei, the one who was killed by this junior was also Zhong Liang."
Qin Sang was startled. It sounded like this Zhong Liang recluse was also a cultivator of the Void Refining stage
To kill two Nascent Soul cultivators at once, even he couldn't do it. Qin Sang truly had to admire this Young Master Xin.
"This action gambles on the fate of the Xin family. If it were not a last resort, this junior wouldn't dare take such risks. After my father's death, the Xin family was beset by internal and external troubles, weathering storms. Zhong Liang, the vagrant scholar, even intended to swallow up the Xin family's assets. This junior had no choice but to seek refuge with Prefect Pei."
But, although Master Pei was somewhat acquainted with my father, he harbored ulterior motives and coveted the Xin family and the younger generation.
He cultivated a school of Taoism that had always been unsuccessful in reaching its peak. Coincidentally, the junior disciple's family secret technique was subtly compatible with his own. This person then attempted to wait for the junior disciple to cultivate the secret technique and use him as a furnace. Afterwards, becoming his concubine might be the junior disciple's best outcome, while a more likely scenario was that he would be tortured by this person.
“The most important thing is... the birth of Mingling was flawed. It has been guarding the Xin family for many years and is approaching its limit, with little time left to exist. No matter how hard we try, we cannot prolong Mingling's life!”
Master Xin let out a long sigh, "Losing the Meiling, my junior generation and the Xin family can only be slaughtered at will. Sir Pei will only become even more unrestrained. These years, we have exhausted our entire clan to satisfy Sir Pei's appetite. If Sir Pei treated me sincerely, why would my juniors resort to such a desperate measure, ending up in mutual destruction!"
Facing Xin Shaozhu's accusation, Qin Sang remained unmoved. "How do you know the old man isn't the second Pei Gongfeng"
"Elder Qin, does the junior have any other choice"
Sin Shaozu asked back.
“The Xin family can’t help Elder Qin too much, but they can do some small things for him. The fall of Pei Offering and Zhongliang Scholar meant that their treasures were destroyed with them, but their courtyards still stand, now ownerless. Elder Qin definitely needs people to help manage them…”
