Chapter 297 Heading to Chaos Star Sea, Ji Yin Patriarch, Wu Chou
Qin Shuang stood on the top of the Tianfeng Valley, his eyes as sharp as lightning, overlooking the vast land beneath his feet.
Beside him, Soul-Broken Master stood respectfully, lowering his eyebrows and looking docile, his expression no longer showing the rebelliousness of the past. At this moment, Soul-Broken Master had completely become Qin Shuang's slave, his soul and blood were controlled by Qin Shuang, and his life and death were all in Qin Shuang's hands.
In the distance, a beautiful figure quietly appeared. It was Nangong Wan. She was dressed in white, like a fairy from the sky, with a cold and noble temperament. However, when she saw the Soul-Breaking Master beside Qin Shuang, a trace of shock and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
“Qin Shuang… you actually captured the Soul-Breaking Immortal alive and made him your slave?” There was a hint of surprise in Nangong Wan’s voice that was hard to conceal.
Qin Shuang turned his head and looked at Nangong Wan, smiling faintly: "It was just a matter of convenience. Soul-Breaking Master is ignorant of the depths of heaven and earth, and dared to be my enemy, so he will naturally pay the price."
Nangong Wan was even more shocked when she heard this. Soul-Breaking Immortal was a powerful man in the Nascent Soul stage, with unfathomable strength. Even in the entire Tiannan region, he was a well-known existence. However, such a powerful man was captured alive by Qin Shuang, and was forced to hand over his soul blood and become his slave. This was simply unbelievable!
"Qin Shuang, how strong are you?" Nangong Wan couldn't help but ask, with complicated expressions in her eyes.
Qin Shuang smiled calmly and did not answer directly, but asked: "Wan'er, do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are very strong?"
Nangong Wan was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Nascent Soul cultivators are the top existences in the cultivation world, so they are naturally very strong. However, in front of you, it seems that even Nascent Soul cultivators are not worth mentioning."
Qin Shuang shook his head and said calmly: "Nascent Soul cultivators are just a stage on the road of cultivation. A truly powerful person is never limited to the height of his realm. What I pursue is a power that surpasses everything."
Nangong Wan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable awe when she heard this. She thought she knew Qin Shuang well enough, but now she realized that Qin Shuang's strength and ambition far exceeded her imagination.
Soul-Broken Master stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling shocked and bitter. He was once a high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivator, but now he has become Qin Shuang's slave, with no control over his life and death. However, he dared not complain at all, because he knew that Qin Shuang's strength was far beyond his ability to contend with.
"Master, what are our plans next?" asked the Soul-Breaking Master respectfully, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Qin Shuang glanced at him and said calmly: "Next, we have to go to Chaos Star Sea. There may be something I need there."
"Chaos Star Sea?" Nangong Wan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "That is an extremely dangerous area in the cultivation world. It is rumored that there are many powerful people there and dangers are lurking everywhere. Why do you want to go there?"
Qin Shuang's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Although the Chaos Star Sea is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. What I need may only be found there."
Nangong Wan was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Qin Shuang, Chaos Star Sea is not trivial. If you go there, you must be careful."
Qin Shuang nodded and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern. However, the Chaos Star Sea is not enough to scare me."
Nangong Wan looked at Qin Shuang's confident expression, and a complex emotion rose in her heart. She had thought that the distance between her and Qin Shuang was not far, but now she realized that Qin Shuang had already stood at a height that she could not reach.
"Qin Shuang, if possible, can I go to the Chaos Star Sea with you?" Nangong Wan suddenly spoke with a hint of expectation in her tone.
Qin Shuang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Wan'er, the Chaos Star Sea is extremely dangerous, why do you want to take the risk?"
Nangong Wan shook her head and said firmly: "The road of cultivation is full of dangers. If you stop because of fear, how can you pursue a higher realm? What's more, walking with you may allow me to see a wider world."
Qin Shuang pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "In that case, let's go together. However, the Chaos Star Sea is full of dangers, you must be careful at all times."
Nangong Wan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you."
Soul-Broken Immortal stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. He was once a high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivator, but now he has become Qin Shuang's slave, and Nangong Wan, a proud girl from heaven, actually took the initiative to ask to go with Qin Shuang.
All of this made him have a deeper understanding of Qin Shuang's strength and charm.
Outside Tianfeng Valley, the sun sets, and the golden afterglow sprinkles on the earth, reflecting a peaceful and magnificent scene.
Qin Shuang stood at the entrance of the valley, with Nangong Wan and Soul-Broken Master beside him. The three were about to set off for the Chaos Star Sea, embarking on a journey full of unknowns and dangers.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the distance. Qin Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and saw a familiar figure slowly approaching. The man was wearing a green robe, with an ordinary face, but his eyes were as deep as the abyss. It was Han Li.
"Han Li?" Qin Shuang was a little surprised, but soon regained his composure and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"
Han Li walked up to Qin Shuang, bowed slightly, and said calmly but firmly: "Brother Qin, I heard that you are going to Chaos Star Sea, so I came here to ask for permission to go with you."
Qin Shuang heard this, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He had heard of Han Li's strength. Although this person was low-key, he had extraordinary means and deep scheming, which was definitely not comparable to ordinary cultivators. If he could go with him, perhaps he could get more help in the Chaos Star Sea.
"The Chaos Star Sea is extremely dangerous, why do you want to go there?" Qin Shuang asked calmly.
Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Although the Chaos Star Sea is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation so far. Only by going to the Chaos Star Sea can I perhaps find an opportunity for a breakthrough."
Qin Shuang nodded, not surprised by Han Li's answer. He knew that Han Li always had clear goals and never did meaningless things. Since he decided to go to Chaos Star Sea, he must have his plans.
"Okay, in that case, let's go together." Qin Shuang said lightly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
Han Li heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
Nangong Wan stood aside, looking at Han Li with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She had heard of Han Li's reputation and knew that although he was low-key, his strength was unfathomable. Now that he took the initiative to ask to go with Qin Shuang, she couldn't help but look forward to the trip to Chaos Star Sea.
Soul-Breaking Master stood respectfully behind Qin Shuang, lowering his head and looking docile, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He knew that Qin Shuang's decision could not be questioned, and he only needed to obey his orders.
Just as Qin Shuang was about to leave, Ye Kanghui and Fu Tianqiong hurried over. When they saw Qin Shuang, they hurried forward to salute.
"Master, are you really going to the Chaos Star Sea?" Ye Kanghui asked with a hint of worry in his tone.
Qin Shuang nodded and said calmly: "There is an opportunity I need in Chaos Star Sea, I must go there. You two continue to expand the influence of Tianxiahui and earn luck points for me. If there is any change, inform me in time."
Fu Tianqiong responded respectfully: "Master, rest assured, we will definitely live up to your trust."
Ye Kanghui hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Master, the Chaos Star Sea is extremely dangerous, you must be careful."
Qin Shuang smiled calmly and said, "The Chaos Star Sea is not enough to scare me. You just need to do your own thing. When I return, the power of Tianxiahui will be even stronger." Ye Kanghui and Fu Tianqiong couldn't help but feel proud when they heard this. They knew that Qin Shuang's strength and ambition were far beyond their imagination. As long as they followed Qin Shuang, the future of Tianxiahui would be extremely brilliant.
After explaining everything, Qin Shuang took Nangong Wan, Soul-Breaking Immortal, and Han Li on their journey to Chaos Star Sea. Their figures stretched out in the sunset, like a magnificent painting.
The Chaos Star Sea is located in the far east of the Tiannan region. It is a vast and boundless sea. It is said that there are many islands there, and the spiritual energy is abundant, but it is also full of unknown dangers. Countless cultivators have gone to the Chaos Star Sea to seek opportunities, but only a few have been able to return alive.
Qin Shuang stood at the bow, looking into the distance, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the journey to Chaos Star Sea would be full of challenges, but he was not afraid. Because he was Qin Shuang.
Nangong Wan stood beside him, feeling the sea breeze on her face, with both expectations for the future and a hint of worry in her heart. She turned her head to look at Qin Shuang and asked softly, "Qin Shuang, how much do you know about Chaos Star Sea?"
Qin Shuang smiled faintly and said, "Although the Chaos Star Sea is dangerous, it is not without rules. As long as we act carefully, there will be no problem."
Han Li stood aside, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something. He suddenly said, "Brother Qin, there is a place called 'Starfall Island' in the Chaos Star Sea. It is said that rare spiritual objects often appear there. Maybe we can try our luck there."
Qin Shuang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Xingyun Island first."
Soul-Breaking Master said respectfully: "Master, there are many powerful people on the Falling Star Island. We need to be careful."
Qin Shuang smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. If anyone dares to block our way, let them know the consequences of offending me."
When Han Li heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Qin Shuang's strength was unfathomable, and he could fight even against the strong men in the Chaos Star Sea. The purpose of his trip, in addition to looking for opportunities, was to take this opportunity to further understand Qin Shuang's strength.
A few days later, Qin Shuang and his party finally arrived at Xingyun Island. The island was full of spiritual energy and lush vegetation, like a paradise. However, Qin Shuang keenly noticed that there were several powerful auras hidden on the island.
"It seems that this Falling Star Island is not peaceful." Qin Shuang said lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Nangong Wan nodded and said softly, "We need to be careful."
Han Li looked calm and said calmly: "There are many powerful people on Xingyun Island. We might as well keep a low profile and investigate secretly."
Qin Shuang glanced at Han Li, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."
The four of them quietly landed on the island, concealed their auras, and began to explore the island. The Xingyun Island was vast, with a towering mountain in the center of the island. There was a faint spiritual light flickering on the mountain, and it was obvious that some rare spiritual objects were hidden.
Just as the four of them were approaching the mountain, they suddenly heard a sound of fighting coming from the front. Qin Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling everyone to stop and approach quietly.
In the open space ahead, several cultivators were seen fighting fiercely. One of them was wearing a black robe, and was obviously a disciple of an evil sect; the other was a group of independent cultivators, who were slightly weaker and already at a disadvantage.
Han Li whispered, "Brother Qin, should we intervene?"
Qin Shuang smiled faintly and said, "No need. Let them fight to the death, and we can just sit back and reap the benefits."
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that Qin Shuang always acted decisively and never did anything unnecessary.
Sure enough, a moment later, the group of casual cultivators had been killed by the black-robed cultivators. The black-robed cultivators proudly collected their spoils and were about to leave when Qin Shuang suddenly appeared and said coldly, "Leave the things behind and I can spare your lives."
The black-robed monks were furious when they heard this, and they all used their magic weapons to rush towards Qin Shuang. However, Qin Shuang just sneered, raised his hand and waved it, and completely neutralized their attacks. Then, he punched out, and the black-robed monks were blasted into a bloody mist without even screaming.
Han Li looked at this scene with a flash of shock in his eyes. He knew that Qin Shuang was very powerful, but seeing him kill several cultivators so easily, he couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.
“Good harvest!”
Qin Shuang put away the spoils and said calmly: "Let's go and keep moving forward."
After Qin Shuang, Nangong Wan and Soul-Broken Master left the Falling Star Island, they headed eastwards towards the depths of the Chaos Star Sea. Their figures seemed extremely small in the vast sea, but the aura of the three of them was like a bright light in the dark night, faintly revealing a pressure that should not be underestimated.
At the same time, in a sea area a hundred miles away from Xingyun Island, a young man in his twenties was standing at the bow of a huge black ship, his face was extremely gloomy. He was wearing a black robe, his face was sinister, and his eyes were flashing with cold murderous intent.
This person is none other than Wu Chou, a well-known evil cultivator in the Chaos Star Sea, with ruthless methods and deep scheming.
Wu Chou held a broken soul tablet in his hand, with a few faint breaths still remaining on it. That was the soul tablet of his subordinate, and now it was broken, which meant that his subordinate had fallen.
"Who... dared to kill my Wu Chou's people!" Wu Chou's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes like knives, pointing directly in the direction of Xingyun Island.
"Someone come here!" Wu Chou shouted coldly.
A moment later, several black-robed monks hurried over and knelt respectfully on the ground: "Young Master, what do you want?"
Wu Chou said coldly: "Turn the boat around immediately and head to Xingyun Island! I want to see who dares to go wild on my territory!"
"Yes!" The black-robed monks responded in unison and then took quick action.
However, just as Wu Chou was about to set off, a cold laugh suddenly came from the sky. The laugh was as erratic as a ghost, making people shudder.
"Wuchou, where are you going?"
Wu Chou's face changed slightly after hearing these words, and he quickly looked up. He saw a black shadow slowly emerging in the sky. It was an old man in a gray robe, with a haggard face, cold eyes, and a frightening aura all over his body. This man was the famous Ji Yin Patriarch in the Chaos Star Sea, a strong man in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and Wu Chou's master.
"Master!" Wu Chou bowed hurriedly, with a hint of respect and fear in his tone.
The Ji Yin Patriarch slowly descended and stood in front of Wu Chou, saying calmly: "I heard that you have been active near Xingyun Island recently. Did you gain anything?" (End of this chapter)
