Although Wu Yue Sheng always remained hidden and never actually launched an attack, Qin Sang knew this person's intentions couldn't be simple. He classified Wu Yue Sheng as dangerous in his heart.

Qin Sang hoped to join forces with others to weather the crisis, but she was also wary of making deals with dangerous people.

Being alone with Wu Yuèshēng carries not only the risk of imminent danger but also the necessity of secretly guarding against him. It is a situation that yields more losses than gains.

Because he was too eager to dodge the flames, Qin Sang wasn't able to see with his own eyes which of the other four paths Wu Yue Sheng had taken. However, he didn't intend to fight Wu Yue Sheng to the death.

Wu Yue's strength surpassed his, and he was also a master of evasion techniques. Unless he could launch a sneak attack for a fatal blow, the situation would immediately reach an impasse. Moreover, the dangers within the cave were imminent, it wasn't a time for hesitation or compromise.

Even if they met again later, Wu Yue Sheng didn't know that Qin Sang had already seen through his whereabouts. At that time, it would be a situation of the enemy being clear and I being dark, and he would have to be more composed when dealing with it.

Having thought this through, Qin Sang returned to the path he had chosen at the beginning.

Fortunate as he was, Qin Sang encountered no roadblocks from the Corpse Spirits on his journey. He passed several stone pathways one after another, when suddenly he heard roars and clashes coming from ahead.

Is someone fighting a corpse demon

Qin Sang's heart moved. He stealthily slipped closer and, after a short while, saw two entwined figures in a stone chamber. As expected, one of them was the Corpse Devil, and the other was Liu Jiang, the eldest brother of the Liu clan.

Qin Sang rushed forward, looking left and right, but didn't see Liu Shan's figure. It seemed that the two brothers had also become separated.

The Corpse Demon's strength was about the same as the one Qin Sang had killed before. Its physical defense was surprisingly strong, making it a troublesome opponent for a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even with a prolonged effort, they would only be able to kill it after some time.

But Liujiang's cultivation was only at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period. Without Liu Shan's cooperation, his strength was similar to that of an ordinary cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period, making it somewhat difficult to deal with.

Liu Jiang's weapon was half a wrought iron lotus flower. The petals of the iron lotus flower were all open, like a dozen sharp flying knives tied together, constantly attacking the corpse demon and shooting out streaks of knife shadows.

The power of Tie Hehua is not weak, each blade can leave a deep wound on the corpse demon, but Liu Jiang cannot suppress the corpse demon and cannot attack continuously in one place. These wounds will soon be restored by the earth evil energy, with little effect.

Liu Jiang could only exhaust the murderous energy on the corpse before he could possibly kill it.

Qin Sang could see that Liu Jiang wanted to escape, but unfortunately, the path was blocked by the Sha corpses. Moreover, the Sha corpses were not slow in their movements, unusually agile. Their claws were coated with corpse poison, and each swing carried a chillingly cold aura of Earth煞 energy.

Liu Jiang dared not risk his life, so he could only hide in the narrow stone room, dodging with all his might. However, the Sha Chi gained the upper hand and its expression became increasingly agitated.

Having seen this scene, Qin Sang quietly returned the way he came, appearing and flying over. He swept his gaze over the stone room and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder which fellow Daoist Liu is it"

Upon seeing Qin Sang, Liu Jiang was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Liu Jiang greets Senior Qin. I've been entangled by this corpse demon and couldn't pay my respects properly. Please forgive me, Senior Qin."

Qin Sang nodded slightly to him and looked at the corpse demon, saying: "I will help Daoist Liu slay this fiend first."

As they spoke, Qin Sang drew out the Five Elements Breaking Sword. The sword transformed into a serpentine dragon, and in no time, it suppressed the arrogant ghost corpse.

Liu Jiang, seeing this, secretly let out a sigh of relief. He immediately followed Qin Sang's order, urging the Tie Hua to fly behind the Sha Corpse. A flurry of sword shadows shot out repeatedly, slashing at the back of the Sha Corpse's neck.

The wound on the back of the corpse grew larger and larger. The malevolent Qi couldn't recover in time and was eventually beheaded by Liu Jiang. Just like the Corpse that Qin Sang had encountered before, after the malevolent Qi dissipated, it turned into a thin cultivator and then turned into a puddle of ash.

Qin Sang secretly thought that the corpses in the cave were probably refined using cultivator bodies. He had only walked this section of the path and encountered dozens of refined corpses. Where would there be so many cultivator corpses through normal channels This demon sect had harmed countless people.

"Thanks for your help, Qin senior."

Liu Jiang's breath calmed slightly, he bowed to Qin Sang respectfully.

Qin Sang could feel the restraint on Liu Jiang's body, and it didn't feel strange to him. Thinking about himself, if he were in this kind of place, he would also worry about whether the other party would have other intentions.

“Daoist Liu, you and Liu Shan were also scattered”

Liu Jiang let out a wry smile and said, "The suction came too suddenly. We didn't have time to react before being pulled into the cave. At that time, we were almost scattered. After the fire crow formation self-destructed, my brother and I were hit by the shockwave and could no longer maintain our cultivation technique. I was lucky enough to be flung into a cave. Liu Shan kept falling downwards. The last thing I saw was him being pulled by Senior Qing Ting. Because we practiced the same cultivation technique and had a psychic connection since childhood, I sensed that Liu Shan was still alive. I was on my way to meet them when I encountered this troublesome Corpse."

Qin Sang seized the opportunity and fled into the cave first, he didn't see Qing Ting rescuing Liu Shan.

However, Qin Sang had an impression of where everyone was when the fire crow formation exploded. If Liu Shan continued to fall downward, he would indeed be closest to Qingting.

“Can you confirm the location of Mount Liu, Daoist Liu” Qin Sang pursued.

Liu Jiang nodded and said: "I can feel Liu Shan is below us to the left, but it's very blurry. There's a considerable distance in between us. He definitely senses my location too, but unfortunately, the stone path changes directions so much that we haven't been able to meet. It might take a long time before we bump into each other."

Qin Sang hummed and said, "Daoist Liu should have also discovered that as we go deeper, these passages converge towards a certain place. We will definitely encounter each other. In this case, please lead the way, Daoist Liu, and let's try to go down. This is the lair of the Demon Gate, and there are certainly many corpses refined here. Now you and I can barely cope, but later we may encounter even stronger corpse spirits. It's best to meet with other fellow cultivators as soon as possible and join forces to deal with the danger."

Although Liu Jiang is not as strong as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he is still a good helper. He will make dealing with the Corpse Fiends much easier. Even though he doesn't have the ability of spiritual sensing, Qin Sang is still planning to take him along.

After the battle just now, Liu Jiang also knew that he couldn't go far by himself. If he met a slightly stronger zombie, his life would be in danger.

Furthermore, Qin Sang had also saved him once. Hearing Qin Sang's proposal, Liu Jiang readily agreed.

The deafening roar echoed from the stone path behind them, and the ominous aura of Earth Fiend still lingered menacingly. They dared not linger too long. After a brief respite for Liu Jiang, they hurriedly set off.

With their combined efforts, they found dealing with the zombie corpse much easier. They encountered two zombie corpses in succession, one of which was extremely powerful, even a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage would find it troublesome. Nevertheless, they managed to slay it without any danger.
