Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 602: Exposure

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

Song Wen captured Yi Hong's soul and began to search his memories.

Yi Hong hadn't lied. Within his memories, Song Wen finally found some information regarding the Star Chariot Divine Ship.

Song Wen arrived at the center of the ship's deck and formed two very simple hand seals. When the seals landed on the deck, a hole suddenly appeared, revealing an opening about half a meter wide.

Song Wen jumped into the hole and entered the interior of the ship.

A black sphere, about the size of a human head, appeared before Song Wen.

The sphere hovered in mid-air, covered in intricate array patterns.

This sphere was the core of the Star Chariot Divine Ship. Refining it would allow one to control the ship.

Song Wen cast several spells at the sphere, and a flash of blue light enveloped the area.

The blue light quickly spread, sweeping across the entire ship.

Song Wen was disabling the ship's tracking formation.

Next, Song Wen's spiritual consciousness and qi simultaneously entered the sphere, attempting to refine it.

But he soon realized that with his current cultivation and spiritual consciousness level, it would take at least ten to fifteen days, if not longer, to completely refine the ship.

Song Wen halted the refining process, his expression changing unpredictably.

He was torn between abandoning the Star Chariot Divine Ship or finding another way.

After a moment, he made a decision.

Several miles away, Song Wen discovered a bottomless underwater canyon.

He summoned the Blood Sea Seal, which transformed into a massive blood-colored hand, grasping the Star Chariot Divine Ship.

Song Wen activated the hand and dragged the ship toward the canyon.

The Star Chariot Divine Ship was exceedingly heavy, and Song Wen struggled greatly.

After several dozen breaths, he finally reached the edge of the canyon.

He then swung the ship with a forceful toss, and it plunged into the deep, bottomless canyon.

The ship slowly sank into the sea, gradually disappearing into the dark depths of the canyon.

Song Wen turned and left, planning to return to refine the ship after things calmed down, if the Star Chariot Divine Ship was still there.

However, he was not entirely confident about this plan.

The ruins on Yi Hong's island were too obvious. Even though he had closed the tracking formation on the Star Chariot Divine Ship, the Wu Ji Sect would eventually come looking for it.

If the Wu Ji Sect conducted a thorough search around Yi Hong's island, it wouldn't be difficult to find the Star Chariot Divine Ship in the underwater trench.

Song Wen spent over two hours diving through the sea, and after returning to the area near Ji Yin Island, he did not directly return to the island but instead came to a small, uninhabited island several hundred miles away.

This was the island where he had once killed Yu Jiao and the others, and where he had previously carved a small cave in the underwater rocks to serve as a temporary retreat during his cultivation.

He decided to temporarily stay in this cave to cultivate.

Song Wen released two Shadow Gu.

One monitored the movements around the uninhabited island, while the other kept watch over Ji Yin Island.

The next day.

Another Star Chariot Divine Ship arrived above Ji Yin Island.

But this was not the one Song Wen had thrown into the trench.

Zhu Yin disembarked from the Star Chariot Divine Ship.

"Ji Yin, may I see you?" she called out.

Song Wen was not on the island, and she received no response.

However, she did not hurry to leave.

"An Yin, come out and meet me," Zhu Yin called again. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

After Song Wen killed the Qing Empress, he had left Ji Yin Island several times.

During that period, Zhu Yin had come looking for Song Wen at Ji Yin Island and had even helped him pay the rent for several months.

Therefore, Zhu Yin had long since known the sisters An Tong and An Yin.

An Yin flew out of her cave, riding her sword, and arrived in front of Zhu Yin.

"Junior pays respects to Senior Zhu Yin."

"Is Ji Yin on the island?" Zhu Yin asked coldly.

An Yin shook her head, "Junior doesn't know. I'm just a servant, how could I dare inquire about Senior Ji Yin's whereabouts?"

Zhu Yin's gaze fixed on An Yin. Her icy stare made An Yin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, like being hit by the biting winter winds, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.

"J... Junior really doesn't know if Senior Ji Yin is on the island."

"Where is his cave? Take me there!" Zhu Yin demanded.

"Junior doesn't know where Senior Ji Yin's cave is. He has never allowed me or my sister to enter his cave," An Yin replied.

Zhu Yin was momentarily taken aback. She hadn't expected that 'Ji Yin' would be so cautious, even the maids around him were strictly guarded.

The two women had lived on Ji Yin Island for nearly ten years, yet they didn't know where his cave was.

What Zhu Yin didn't know was that Song Wen had always kept his whereabouts a secret from the two women.

In their minds, Song Wen was extraordinarily mysterious.

This made the two women hesitant to wander beyond their own cave or the spiritual fields on the island's summit, fearing they might accidentally offend Song Wen.

Additionally, Song Wen had shown kindness to them, not only saving their lives and providing them with a safe, spiritually rich place to cultivate, but also offering them some cultivation resources. This was why they hadn't actively tried to investigate Song Wen's secrets.

Song Wen received a message from the Shadow Gu after a short while.

Upon learning that Zhu Yin had come alone, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He had thought that Yun Cang's death would attract the attention of two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Wu Ji Sect, who would personally investigate. However, it seemed that only Zhu Yin had come.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet Zhu Yin.

At present, Zhu Yin needed something from him, and she had no reason to harm him.

Moreover, Song Wen also needed the spiritual herbs in Zhu Yin's possession.

There was a mutual binding between them.

When Zhu Yin saw Song Wen flying towards her from afar, she froze for a moment.

She had been worried that Song Wen had already left the Wu Ji Island sea area.

Unexpectedly, Song Wen was hiding near Ji Yin Island and had been secretly monitoring the movements of the island using some kind of secret technique.

Zhu Yin dismissed An Yin and flew toward Song Wen.

"Eh! Zhu Yin, what brings you to my Ji Yin Island today?" Song Wen asked in surprise.

Zhu Yin raised her hand, and a soundproof barrier appeared, enclosing herself and Song Wen within it.

"Ji Yin, stop pretending. Pang Kun, Feng Lan, Duan Chuan, Yun Cang, the four of them all died at your hands, didn't they?"

Song Wen's face froze in shock.

"What! Yun Cang, the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall, has fallen? He just came to my Ji Yin Island yesterday, how could...?"

Before Song Wen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yin.

"Ji Yin, you are the most shameless person among the many Golden Core cultivators I know. You're even worse than the worst scoundrels among common people. There's never been a single truth spoken by you. You don't even have the demeanor of a Golden Core cultivator."

TL/N: LMAO

Song Wen's expression briefly faltered.

From Zhu Yin's words, he could tell that she seemed to have grasped some evidence.

"Zhu Yin, what do you mean by this?"

"Han Wu and Jing Kai have already spilled everything," Zhu Yin replied.

Upon hearing this, Song Wen's face suddenly turned cold, and a chilling murderous intent swept over him.

The killing intent was so tangible that the fabric of Song Wen's clothes fluttered without wind, like a battle flag, making a rustling sound.

"You managed to track them down?" Song Wen said in an icy voice.

Zhu Yin showed no fear; instead, a smile crept onto her lips.

"Now you're starting to show the demeanor of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator."
