Chapter Nine Hundred and Sixty-Sixth: Meteoric Fall
g this beforehand so that in the future, don't blame me for being unfeeling."Having finally been taken in, Qin Sang readily agreed, saying, "As you command, Daozhang."“Young Master Qin, there are a fe...He leaped out a hundred zhang and landed in a patch of venomous algae, staring at a clump of venomous algae not far ahead.
This particular toxic algae differs from others in that its roots are red, and the seed flower bud at the top is a circle larger than usual, resembling a fruit more than a flower.

Qin Sang didn't expect that what would capture the fat silkworm's heart would be a poisonous algae.
But when Qin Sang tried to approach the red poisonous algae, the fat silkworm suddenly issued a warning and spat out seven colorful silk threads in succession.
Qin Sang only then realized the terrible nature of the red algae, its toxicity far surpassing that of any other kind.
His palm enveloped by rainbow silk, he dared to reach out with his hand towards the red venomous algae, gently grasping the fruit atop it.
With only a hissing sound, the colorful silk strands were corroded by the poisonous mist. The fat silkworm hurriedly spat out several more mouthfuls before finally plucking the fruit down.
The fruit looks very ordinary and is not poisonous.
Fortunately, the fat silkworm's cultivation base was a level higher than last time, so it wasn't so strenuous.
Putting away the fruit, Qin Sang looked around.
Even fat silkworms were nearly overwhelmed by the fierce poison of the red algae. If we lure those monsters here, we can take advantage of the situation...
Qin Sang glanced at the crowd of demons without making a sound, but then dismissed the thought.
In this space, the number of red algae is small and sparsely distributed, making it difficult to attract them. Besides, there's also the Nine Phoenix King here.
At this time, the King of Nine Phoenixes had ventured deep into the depths of space.
The King of Nine Phoenixes seemed to have opened another layer of restrictions. A series of howling sounds suddenly erupted from within, followed by shadowy figures of ferocious wolves surging out from the depths of space and charging towards the King of Nine Phoenixes.
All the demons' faces showed signs of nervousness, but then they saw that the Nine Phoenix King was nearly slaughtering them single-handedly. The space was instantly filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Qin Sang watched the battle while moving towards another red poisonous algae.

As the Caiyi Fairy and other demons entered the space, they felt the toxicity growing stronger. They moved with extreme caution, Qin Sang's movements standing out.
He picked another fruit, peeled off the poisonous algae, and walked a few steps to the third red poisonous plant. His figure suddenly froze.
A corpse was lying on the ground.
The back of the corpse gave Qin Sang a very familiar feeling.
Qin Sang's expression changed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Mr. Zou!"
Turning the body over, Qin Sang saw a familiar yet aged face. He was silent.
Unexpectedly, this space turned out to be the place where Old Zou and he had agreed to enter.
I wonder how Mr. Zou found this place.
He succeeded in entering, but lost his life there.
It is obvious that Old Zou doesn't know the danger of red tide algae.
His means of countering poison were not strong, and he was already struggling in this space. Suddenly encountering the red poisonous algae, he was almost killed instantly.
Zhou Lao's face still bore the expression of surprise at discovering a treasure, his wide-open eyes unable to close, speaking volumes of his reluctance.

It seems that the person who died at the hands of the King of Nine Phoenixes was an assistant invited by Old Zou...
Qin Sang thought to himself, sighing inwardly, feeling a bit wistful.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He and Lao Zou were friends like water, not as close as Yun Youzi who shared life and death, going through many dangerous situations together. However, they both benefited from each other in their own ways.
After joining the Chamber of Commerce, Old Zou did not pressure him to do anything, but instead offered help many times. On the contrary, Qin Sang was often either missing or in seclusion. During his time on WuXing Island, it was Wang's sisters who were in charge of things.
>
He didn't know much about Zou Lao's life.
It is said that Elder Zou was also a genius, but he was stuck in a bottleneck for many years and couldn't see any hope of breaking through. Disheartened, he gave up on the immortal path and entered the demon sea, devoting his energy to the Chamber of Commerce.
As fate would have it, unforeseen events occurred. Right as the guild was gaining traction in the Demon Sea, the Demon Sea Uprising broke out, destroying all the foundations they had built before.
Lao Zou was thus awakened. All the other things were nothing but dream-like illusions, only his own self was the root.
But it was too late, his lifespan was waning, he could only gamble everything and enter the Hall of Seven Kills for one last stand.
In the end... it failed.
While hoping for its appearance, there lies a fatal danger lurking.
Dawn was about to break, yet Old Zou met his demise at this very moment. What a tragic and bitter end!
Looking back on Old Zou's final years, Qin Sang felt a tinge of sadness. But it was undeniable that this was the true reflection of countless cultivators' lives.
"Moonlit Friend, you are truly worthy of being a descendant of the Azure Bird. You can come and go freely even in this place. What are you looking for Are these poisonous algae more peculiar than those outside"
Behind me, Yuan Zhu's voice came.
"Why don't you come and take a look yourself, Yuandao"
Qin Sang said calmly, his expression as usual.
He gently brushed over Lao Zou's eyes, helping him close them.
Qin Sang wanted to let Zou Lao rest in peace, even sending his body home might be possible.
But this action would inevitably raise suspicions, so he had to take off Zou Lao's mustard seed bag and the jade pendant on his chest. If there was a chance, he would send them back to the Chamber of Commerce.
>
The mustard seed bag was nearly empty, it was obvious that Old Zou had made up his mind to die. Before he left, he left all his possessions to his descendants and entered the Hall of Seven Kills alone.
The jade pendant is a piece of ordinary jade from the mortal realm. To Old Zou, it must have extraordinary significance.
Yuan Zhu walked over and said in surprise, "There's another one dead here"
Qin Sang nodded, flames surging in her palm, instantly burning the corpse to ashes, preventing Old Zou's remains from being desecrated.
"Huh How come this poisonous algae..."
Yuan Zhu noticed the abnormality of the red algae, his face shocked, and he quickly retreated to the side, not daring to approach.
Qin Sang concealed the aura of the fat silkworm, and multicolored silk threads gushed from her sleeve, collecting the fruit.
Yuan Zhu exclaimed in amazement, "Good friend, you have skillful means! I wonder what use the fruit has Do you know the origins of these red poisonous algae"
This is the end of the paragraph.
"I don't know," Qin Sang shook his head, saying softly, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of poison algae. Take some away, maybe it will be useful."
Yuan Zhu followed Qin Sang around, chattering non-stop as he collected fruit. Qin Sang was getting annoyed; he worried about being exposed and could only vaguely placate him.
“I wonder what treasures His Royal Highness the Nine Phoenix King might find inside”
Yuan Zhu secretly glanced at the depths of space, mysteriously approaching and whispering, "Fellow Daoist, what are your thoughts on the sudden appearance of Lord Jiufeng in Qisha Hall this time"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, and he gave Yuan Zhu a deep look. "I don't know what you mean by that, Daoist Yuan. We are but humble cultivators. We dare not have any ideas of our own; we only need to follow orders."
"Is that so"
Yúanzhù let out a chuckle and didn't press the matter further.
Finally, Qin Sang collected dozens of fruits and even had one taken away by Yuan Zhu's relentless begging.
The rest were taken away by Caiyi Fairy and Gu Heng.
The outer crimson algae were all harvested clean. Qin Sang looked into the depths of the space, his face showing hesitation. In the end, he still gave up. He didn't want to be too conspicuous and attract the attention of the Nine Phoenix King.
He is now very ashamed and doesn't know how much longer he can hide.
The reason the ploy hasn't been exposed is that King Jiufeng didn't expect a human to infiltrate. He simply didn't notice him. With just a little probing, Qin Sang will surely be found out.
At that moment, the restrictions deep in space fluctuated, and the Nine Phoenix King returned covered in blood. intentionally, no one wants to fail. Mr. Wu, the owner of this shop, is a fanatic about refining weaponry; he shouldn't be engaging in any harmful or self-destructive activities.Let me know if you ha...
