Chapter 2028: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand
engulfed the snow curtain, melting the ice and snow while simultaneously extinguishing themselves, effectively neutralizing each other.>The snowflakes in the Hanxuezhu seem inexhaustible, falling cont...For some reason, the outer void is also trembling, and the fluctuation of Qianjun's defenses has not completely disappeared. This indicates that the spatial fragments scattered here are very likely not just this one.
However, the fluctuations of Qianjun Jie became very faint, far less clear than the sensation from the fragment just retrieved. Perhaps this is because the other fragments are too small or too damaged.
Qin Sang naturally wanted to retrieve all the fragments, but the current situation left him no time to think about that. He regained his composure and looked around, his brows furrowed tightly.
On the vast expanse of sea, distant island mountains emerge from the mist. The sky is shrouded by thick black clouds.
Black clouds pressed down extremely low, with no thunder or lightning, only an extreme darkness that brought a heavy pressure to the area below. Even Qin Sang, with his cultivation, couldn't completely shake off this feeling, and he clearly knew that there was definitely unknown danger lurking within the clouds.
Fortunately, since they entered the archipelago, the black cloud has remained as such and hasn't proactively attacked them.
But at this time, heaven and earth trembled, waves rose in the sea. As the shaking intensified, towering waves several meters high appeared everywhere.
"Wow!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A large wave crashed towards them.
Qin Sang stood still, unmoving. As the waves were about to crash upon him, a gap suddenly split open in the water, conveniently avoiding Qin Sang.
Similar scenes happened again and again. Qin Sang remained dry, looking up at the sky. The black clouds above were also in turmoil, churning like waves.
Qin Sang couldn't say when the trembling began, only that it coincided with the change in the Qianjun Seal. Could the source of the trembling be the Qianjun Seal itself
It seemed like the heavens and earth were shaking, but in reality, they were in an array formation. It was very likely that something had happened to the array, and Qianjun Jie retrieved a fragment of a small thousand world. Such a big commotion caused the foundation of the array to be shaken, which was highly possible.
"...won't trigger a big collapse, will it..."
Qin Sang muttered to himself.
The Xin family mobilizing so many masters, daring to invite two cultivators of the Refining Void realm to accompany them, is akin to courting death with a tiger. Their ambitions must be immense. It's unlikely they are after the Qianjun Ring alone; there must be some hidden secrets here that remain unknown.
These secrets might also be related to the Qianjun戒, it would be a pity to destroy them.

Qin Sang thought of the mysterious palaces and high altars in Qianjun's space. There might be hidden secrets, but unfortunately, he could only stay inside for a very short time each time, and then he had to come out. He had to wait until the space stabilized before entering again. He didn't have time to investigate everything now.
As thoughts flashed, the surrounding sights became increasingly terrifying.
Heaven and earth are in turmoil, with monstrous waves everywhere. Black clouds swirl violently, threatening to collapse the sky, ready to crash down at any moment and destroy everything.
Qin Sang felt something at that moment and turned her head to look back the way they had come.
What was even more astonishing was the spectacle in the sky, where black storm clouds formed, resembling dragons or a vast river flowing through the heavens.
Endless black clouds surged forward, swallowing the islands whole. It seemed that a more violent anomaly had occurred on the outer perimeter of the formation, with the collapse beginning from the edges.
Seeing this, Qin Sang's heart pounded with a sense of foreboding. He had a bad feeling about this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Things are about to get really bad here, things are going to be extremely dangerous from now on. It's not even a question of whether we can get the treasure anymore, it's a question of whether we can survive this at all.
Once the great formation was destroyed, Qin Sang's current location was clearly too late to escape.
"At the moment of destruction, could one take refuge in the Qianjun戒"
Upon learning that the Qianjun Seal was a fragment of a small thousand world, Qin Sang immediately thought of its use.
He put the weighty ring back on his right thumb, turning it unconsciously. He didn't pin all his hopes on a simple ring. He looked around, searching for somewhere to hide.
Qin Sang walked alone, oblivious to the fact that Pei Fenggong and the cultivators of the Xin family had already left the canyon.
After they left, they searched everywhere for the Jade Spirit.
A large group of people surged forward, their sharp eyes sweeping in all directions, missing nothing. Even if Yu Ling could hide into the void, it wouldn't escape so many watchful gazes. However, after searching for a while, they found nothing.

At the front, Xin Shaozu suddenly stopped. Everyone thought they had finally found a Jade Spirit and followed him, only to discover there was nothing there. Xin Shaozu's brow was tightly furrowed, his expression grave.
"Xin Sheng, what's wrong"
Pei Guofeng, who always lingered at the end and seemed indifferent to Yuling's plight, stepped forward and asked.
Master Xin shook his head gently and said in a low voice, “If we continue like this, we’ll be too slow! Besides, those Jade Spirits won’t stay in one place. They move around everywhere.”
Even though the map only shows the outer region of the formation, its range is very wide. It takes a considerable amount of time to walk around it.
Pei Gongfeng's eyes flashed, his gaze profound. "Do you want to search separately"
"Not bad!"
Young Master Xin swept his gaze over the crowd of Xin family cultivators, “We must find enough Yu Ling as soon as possible and hand them over to Elder Qin for the refinement of the crossing vessel. Luo Bo, Great Elder, Second Elder, each of you lead a team and search separately.”
Luo the butler heard this and was greatly alarmed, "Master ordered me before his departure, not to leave the young master's side…"
Others also chimed in.

Xin Shaozhu waved his hand, interrupting Luo Guanjia. "You've been here for so long, have you encountered any danger At least this area should be safe. Yu Ling's concealment technique is very special. Others might be blinded by it. Luo Bo and the two elders are personally in charge, so everything will be foolproof. As for me, I have Meng Ling protecting me, what else is Luo Bo worried about Alright, Elder Three, please accompany me and protect me."

Everyone turned to look at a young man.
The young man wore a white robe and had a youthful face, but his brow held the weariness that belied his years.
He was startled, leaped forward, and bowed in response: "Yes! Rest assured, Master Luo, I will ensure the young master's safety."
A family produces a new generation every twenty years or so. Cultivators have different talents and opportunities, so their cultivation speeds vary. High-level cultivators have long lifespans, and if we only consider seniority, it would be too complicated.
Within many families, positions are also established. For example, a cultivator who has achieved the Nascent Soul stage within the Xin family can be promoted to an elder of their clan and have the right to assist the patriarch in making decisions.

Eldest Elder, who is also Xin Sheng's grandfather and the uncle of the previous family head, addresses him based on their positions.
The Xin family had no head, only the young master, but this elder, the Third Elder, showed no disrespect to Young Master Xin.
Xin Sheng, though called the young master, is actually the head of the household. He became head because he had once vowed to fulfill the last wishes of his predecessor before taking the position, not because of insufficient prestige.
Everyone in the Xin family was convinced by this young master.
Firstly, Young Master Xin successfully mastered the Spiritual Mind, becoming the strongest force within the Xin family currently and also a symbol of the family head.
Secondly, the sudden death of the previous head of the family left the family without a clear successor. The intentions of Pei Feng were unclear, and a powerful enemy was watching closely. In this time of crisis, Young Master Xin skillfully maneuvered between Pei Feng and the formidable opponent, safeguarding the Xin family. This ability is unmatched by others.
Seeing that Young Master Xin had made up his mind, Lao Luo didn't say much. Everyone assigned troops, and with Pei Shufei included, there were five detachments in total.
"Senior Pei, would you like me to send two people to help you" asked Master Xin.
>
Pei Gongfeng said disdainfully, "Except for you, the others would only hold the old man back."
Everyone dared neither to anger nor to speak, silently retreating.
"This junior will take his leave first!"

Young Master Xin bowed respectfully to the three elders and, following the predetermined path, left.
Staring at Xin Shao zhu's departing figure, he glanced again at the direction where Luo Guanjia and the others disappeared. A hint of suspicion flashed in Pei Gongfeng's eyes, then a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. He snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he vanished into thin air.
“I will focus on using the Soul Seer to perceive what’s ahead. The sides and rear are up to the Three Elders,” Xin Shaozu turned his head and said.
The Third Elder immediately responded with a sound, deliberately falling behind Xin Shao by more than ten zhang. He pinched a spell, and a mass of gray qi surged up from behind him, finally transforming into an eyeball. The grayish eyeball slowly rotated, revealing an eerie glow as it stared at the rear.
At the same time, a blue light flashed suddenly from Elder Three's sleeve. It was a jade bracelet that emitted the light. The blue light vanished quickly and there was no ripple effect. Young Master Xin in front remained oblivious.
The two sped across the sea, one after the other.
The division of forces quickly yielded results. After not much flying time, Shao-zhu Xin discovered the trace of Yu Ling. Meng Ling leaped from behind her and charged towards a void.

'Pfft!'
Yuling was forced to appear and had no time to escape. She was surrounded by shadows. The shadows twisted and grew into strange, long claws that reached for Yuling frantically.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yuling darted left and right, but couldn't escape. Finally, a claw grabbed her arm, and before she could struggle free, other claws descended, engulfing Yuling in shadows.
The shadow returned, presenting a jade piece to Master Xin. With the successful retrieval of one jade piece, the two felt more confident and continued forward.
One by one, the island mountains were left behind them. They still hadn't found a second Jade Spirit. Xin Shaozu's eyes remained focused, without any sign of impatience.
Just then, Master Xin stopped again, letting out a soft "eh" from his mouth.
"Young Master, what happened" Elder Three caught up.
There's the aura of jade spirit, but it seems to be inside the mountains...
Xin Shaozhu looked towards the island mountain ahead. The mountain was steep and craggy, with strange rocks everywhere. After walking around the island for half a circle, he saw a narrow cave opening.
Sin Shaozu smiled faintly, "This jade spirit is well hidden. Fortunately, I have the Meng Ling to help me..."
As they spoke, the two entered the cave. Inside, they found a labyrinth of narrow passages that branched out in countless directions. However, under Mei Ling's acute perception, Yu Ling was nowhere to hide. After winding through countless caverns, they finally found Yu Ling deep underground.

Returning the jade slip, she retraced her steps.
When they returned to the cave entrance, young Master Xin was about to take a step out. As if sensing something, he suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing as he scanned the outside of the cave.
The scenery outside the cave was as it always was: a black sky, a black sea, hazy mountain shadows, and an empty solitude. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Young Master Xin's expression changed drastically, he cried out "Not good!", and quickly retreated.

The three elders were still unclear about what was happening when suddenly the earth began to tremble. An overwhelming fog, seemingly out of nowhere, surged into the cave and filled every corner.
The mist was scalding, carrying a strange, burning power that seared their bodies like flames.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Immediately after, a powerful aura descended, causing Young Master Xin and the Third Elder to feel their breath catch. They heard a deafening roar, and the ceiling above them collapsed, raining rocks down upon them. Dazed and covered in debris, they were thrown out and discovered that the outside was shrouded in thick fog.
“Whoosh!”
A crimson shadow suddenly appeared in the mist, and the air crackled with energy. A gigantic flaming whip materialized, whipping towards Young Master Xin with terrifying force.
This whip seemed to shatter the void. Young Master Xin and Elder San, struck by this whip, were undoubtedly going to die!
> Crisis struck suddenly. Little Master Xin hastily summoned his spirit guardian to stand before him. With a 'poof' sound, the long whip struck the spirit guardian head-on, flames ripping through the shadows fiercely. Though it didn't pierce the spirit guardian's body, it left a shocking wound, ablaze with burning fire, like the spirit guardian's blood.
"Pei Gongfeng, what do you want to do!"
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xin Shaozu sternly questioned, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
The Third Elder was even more astonished.
This strike, unexpectedly, came from their family's shrine guardian—Pei the Shrine Guardian!
Lord Pei attacked them, and it was a surprise attack. It seemed like an array had been set up around them.
"Haha..."

A figure emerged from the mist, followed by Pei Feng's sneer. "You little girl is quite cunning, trying to confuse this old man with your feigned division of troops. But you forgot one thing: strength overcomes all! This old man doesn't bother with your schemes and plots, nor with whatever alliance you have with that Qin fellow. As long as I capture you, the truth will be revealed! The item in your hand, even if it's not a jade bi, must be something of great importance here. Do you really think you can fool this old man's eyes"

A plot can only succeed if the other party follows the designer's lead and allows themselves to be manipulated, and Pei Gong precisely possesses the strength to overturn the table.
"Ah!"
The spirit let out a shrill, terrifying roar.
The red fire burned Meditation Spirit's body, bringing endless pain. But Meditation Spirit was by no means a weakling. His shadow writhed, his wounds healed in an instant, and his figure swelled, towering over everything.

Ke Pei's preparations for this confrontation went beyond this single killer move.
Mist billowed, countless fire rings appearing, like shackles, hanging in the air.
Looking at the menacing Myriad Spirits, Pei Gongfeng sneered, “I didn't know you, Xin family, used essence blood as a sacrifice to control the Myriad Spirits Along the way, the Myriad Spirits should have devoured quite a bit of essence blood. It’s remarkable how well you concealed its weakness. But how many times can the Myriad Spirits attack This old man's Earth-Sun Limitless Array has been prepared for you for a long time!”
Young Master Xin was now utterly terrified.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Think you've hidden something perfectly, only to realize the other party has seen through it all along. That feeling is utterly devastating.
This is a misunderstanding. There was no special pact between her and Elder Qin, but any explanation would be futile. Fei Offering has made things personal and will stop at nothing. There is no room for compromise anymore.
"Aren't you afraid of being backlashed by your oath with your father" Xin Shaozhu only had one lifeline left.
“Rest assured, old man will capture you alive, spare your life, and both you and the Xin family will still be of use to me.”
Pei Gongfeng's tone was playful yet determined.
The Elder Three stood behind Young Master Xin. After the initial panic, they gradually regained their composure.
Although his expression was flustered, there was a calmness in his eyes that most people couldn't achieve.
He seemed to stand with Young Master Xin, facing the enemy together. He glanced beyond the mist without making a sound, his voice filled with resentment, "Young Master, even when the former master was alive, I saw through this person's ulterior motives. Now he has finally bared his fangs! This man is ambitious and cruel. There's no use begging for mercy. We must fight with all our might. Elder Qin and Great Elder sensed the disturbance and came to help us. Only then do we have a glimmer of hope!"
