Chapter 1,166: The Cauldron Gate
The talisman's placement here is extremely peculiar.Just as the trespasser emerged from danger, his mind relaxed for a moment.But Qin Sang was not alone. The Elder of the Earthly Depths had always bee...Tan Yi'en went to Cang Heng Island first.
Qin Sang and Erniao entered Tian Yaoqiu, then headed north to reach Wan Yao City.
City of Ten Thousand Demons.
One of the Seven Passes, a gateway for demon races to enter the ancient battlefield of immortals.
After the demon clan occupied Tianshou Hill, they guarded this pass, and it has never changed hands since. Other passes have been affected more or less by infighting among the human race.
Here is the translated text:

All demon cultivators who enter and exit the ancient battlefield of immortals must pass through Wan Yao City.
The current Wan Yao City Lord is the renowned Feather Demon King.
Wan Yao City and Xian Yao City were still quite different. Qin Sang wanted to see what a real demon city was like, so he entered the city alone. Fatty Chicken and Bai He waited for a while before following up.
Entering Wan Yao City, Qin Sang's first feeling was that this place had a very "strong" atmosphere.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The city still mainly consists of ordinary people.
On the street, people came and went in an orderly fashion, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity.
These people have lived under the rule of the demon king since birth. They are already accustomed to seeing demons swaggering down the streets.
All the monsters allowed to enter the city have been imbued with spiritual enlightenment and awakened their intelligence.
The Feather Demon King had set strict rules, and after Qin Sang entered the city, he didn't see any cases of demons harming mortals.
However, the Xianxia world is not all warm and fuzzy. Just as humans hunt demonic beasts, stripping their bones and skin to use them for refining pills and weapons, demon clans wouldn't just raise so many humans without purpose. Some things are best left unthought about.
Not long after entering the city.
Qin Sang was strolling through the city when suddenly a commotion arose ahead, and the crowd parted to the sides.
Ahead, a dark mass surged forward. It was a pack of armored demon wolves galloping down the street, charging toward us. The leader of the wolves was massive and imposing, radiating an aura of bloodlust that was truly unnerving.
On it, however, was a finely crafted saddle. Upon it sat a strange and diminutive beast that resembled a fox but with even smaller stature and incredibly short front legs. It was a wretched demon.
This demon's aura surpasses even that of the fat chicken and white crane, it is a powerful late-stage demon core cultivator. Otherwise, the wolf pack leader wouldn't willingly serve as its mount.
Qin Sang stopped, knowing she had been exposed.
The fat chicken and white crane flashed, blocking in front of Qin Sang.
...with a thunderous roar…
The pack of demonic wolves were neatly arranged, their target clearly Qin Sang and his group. As they approached, they suddenly came to a halt with a 'whoosh', displaying immense pressure.
Qin Sang stood with his hands behind him, his expression serene.
The fat chicken and the white crane puffed up their feathers and issued a warning.
The fox demon leaped from the wolf demon's back, stood up straight before them, and bowed respectfully: "May I ask if you esteemed elders are Qian Shan Zhu Hai's young master and Ming Yue Yao Wang The Great King has prepared a palace for your stay. This humble one, by order of the Great King, welcomes all esteemed elders."
As soon as these words were uttered, exclamations of astonishment erupted from the crowd. They looked at Qin Sang with a mixture of awe and reverence.
"Master"
Qin Sang smiled knowingly, "That's not a bad title," he said with a nod, gesturing for Bi Yao to lead the way.
Under the lead of Bi Yao, they walked toward the demon king's palace.
That's the lair of the demon clan. Qin Sang estimated that few other human cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage would dare to enter such a place so boldly and alone.
"Which other Demon Kings are attending the meeting"
Let me know if you have other text to translate!
The embarrassed demon replied, "Reporting to senior, the Red-Tailed Demon King arrived first, three days ago. Then came the Snake King, senior..."
When Qin Sang finished counting the number of demons, he discovered that nearly half of the Demon Kings from Tian Yao Qiu had arrived. The date for the council was still three days away, so many more Demon Kings were sure to arrive later.
I reckon he, like me, was drawn in by the news from the Purple Microcosm.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
These days, including Li Hong Yao Wang, several demon kings have come to visit. Qin Sang intends to make friends and has met a few.
One of them was the Red-Tailed Demon King mentioned by Bi Yao. He was a red fox who attained immortality and transformed into a handsome young man, but behind him grew an extremely eye-catching red tail.
The name "Red-Tailed Demon King" originated from this.
He claimed to have long admired the senior bamboo demon and was quite enthusiastic about Qin Sang. Qin Sang didn't know if it was true or not, so he could only respond in this way. Fortunately, he learned a lot of secrets about the demon clan from him.
Qin Sang ordered the two birds to remain in the palace while he walked side by side with the Crimson-Tailed Demon King towards Yuwang Palace.
The Hall of the Feathered King has always been the den of successive Feathered Demon Kings, and this meeting is also being held within the Hall of the Feathered King.
The Red-Tailed Demon King dismissed the escorting little demons and, familiar with the way, led Qin Sang toward the Feather King's Palace.
"The Feather King is being secretive, but following custom, since we're talking about the Purple Micro Palace, there must be some news. The last few times the Purple Micro Palace appeared, Senior Bamboo didn't show up. This time, they sent Daoist Mingyue. Could it be that they intend to compete for the qualifications to enter the Purple Micro Palace next time"
As the Scarlet-Tailed Demon King gave Qin Sang a tour of the surrounding buildings, pointing out and introducing them, he asked with some curiosity:
Qin Sang slowly shook his head. "Master didn't mention entering Ziwei Palace. He sent me here mainly to inquire about the current battle situation on the front lines."

The Red-Tailed Demon King understood, sighing, "If the Xiaohan Realm and Heavenly Alliance truly cannot stand against Zuiyuan, with Zuiyuan's domineering ways, our pact with the human race will likely be broken. There may not be peace afterward. But if we put all our strength into helping them resist Zuiyuan, leaving ourselves severely weakened would be a foolish choice. The balance is truly difficult to find. However, these are things the Feather King must worry about..."
Although that's true, we can't just turn a blind eye. I wouldn't want to have to hide in the demon sea someday, spending my days with nothing but ice for company.
Qin Sang shook his head.
These days, he secretly inquired about the attitudes of the demon kings.
As expected, the demon race had no interest in meddling in the human races' internal strife. The best course of action was to sit back and watch as they fought, betting on both sides without offending either party.
But Xiao Han Yu and Tian Xing Meng are not stupid, they couldn't possibly let the demon race pass through so easily.
Although the Heavenly Demon Hill has sent demon troops to reinforce, few demon kings have actually joined the battlefield.
Those several demon kings were currently stationed at a pass called Huko Pass with their armies. It was said to be an important strategic location, but it was rather remote, so the probability of Ziyuan attacking there was very low.
Outside the Húkou Pass, a battalion of criminals stood facing them. The two sides seemed to have an unspoken agreement, engaging in minor skirmishes back and forth.
As they spoke, a towering jungle appeared before them, shadowy and indistinct.

"We're here! The Feather Palace is inside!"
>
The Scarlet-tailed Demon King reminded in a low voice.
Qin Sang focused his gaze and saw that in the center of the forest there was an ancient wooden hall, suspended in mid-air. The surrounding green spiritual light flickered erratically, permeated by dense and powerful restrictions.
"Fellow cultivators, you have finally arrived!"
A figure darted out from the forest, Li Hong Yao Wang himself coming forward to greet them.
He no longer had any desire for the Thousand Mountains Bamboo Sea. He was quite enthusiastic towards Qin Sang, "Daoist Mingyue, King Yu heard that you are a descendant of Master Zhu, and has long wanted to see what kind of outstanding talent you are, worthy of receiving Master Zhu's true teachings."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the three companions entered the forest together and arrived at the gate of the Hall of the Feathered King.
Li Hong Yao Wang pushed the door open and entered.
Qin Sang immediately saw a man in feathered attire seated in the center. It was none other than the Feather Demon King who had, back then, urged him to use the treasure and break through the Great Formation of Ziwu Palace!
