Outside of Time [Webnovel]

832 New Disciple of the Yin Yang Flower Sect, Xu Qing (3)

The river water rippled and surged, accelerating their progress, causing the river’s surface to contort as if in prostration. Witnessing this scene, Wu Jianwu’s body trembled, and while he was in a daze, the captain approached him, wrapping an arm around his neck and speaking softly.

“Big Jianjian, I didn’t lie to you before, right? Do you want to be like this one day?”

Wu Jianwu definitely wanted that, and so was destined to be unable to escape the captain’s demonic clutches.

Hence, very soon, he was pulled to the side by the captain who muttered something in his ears. Wu Jianwu’s eyes were filled with struggle and excitement. In the end, his excitement surpassed everything.

“Fool!” Ning Yan snorted inwardly.

Xu Qing didn’t bother with these. He was sensing these river spirits.

They were different from the black heaven statue of the Holy Wave Race back then. They were more like living creatures because Xu Qing could sense the reverence of these river spirits.

In fact, he could even faintly sense wisps of fragrance after he spread out the power of the Purple Moon Nascent Soul.

Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. The Purple Moon Nascent Soul rose above his head and emitted waves of pressure. At the same time, it also gently sucked at a river spirit.

Immediately, the fragrance flowed into the mouth of the Purple Moon Nascent Soul through the river spirits.

As it swallowed, an extremely comfortable feeling appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. As for his Purple Moon Nascent Soul, its body also trembled and it clearly grew a little.

At the same time, the river spirit, whose fragrance had been sucked away, revealed a pious expression.

Xu Qing’s heartbeat sped up slightly. He instinctively felt that this fragrance was a good thing. Just as he was about to continue, a sense of danger rose in his mind. This allowed him to immediately restrain his actions.

“This is the Red Moon’s ranch. In theory, if the Red Moon can absorb it, so can I. However, It can easily detect such plundering in Its territory. If the stimulation is too great and It awakens early…”

Xu Qing felt regret and didn’t continue. He was going to see the situation in the Moon Worship Region before deciding.

Just like that, under the escort of thousands of river spirits, Xu Qing’s spirit liner sped along the Sacrificial Yin River, getting closer and closer to the shore.

This scene was vast and incomparably astonishing, so it naturally attracted attention.

Xu Qing and the others weren’t the only ones heading to the Moon Worship Region. In reality, due to the uniqueness of the Moon Worship Region, cultivators from the nearby regions would occasionally enter and trade items inside.

At that moment, there were dozens of ships on the Sacrificial Yin River. After offering tributes, they were allowed to pass. Thus, they witnessed a scene that left them incredulous and astonished.

All the boats came to an instinctive halt, and the cultivators within them had various reactions, with countless speculations arising in their minds.

“To be escorted by thousands of river spirits… What kind of identity do they have?!”

“Could they be from the Red Moon Shrine? And perhaps even from its higher echelons!”

“There’s only one answer, and only the Red Moon Shrine could have such status.”

“The people of Red Moon Shrine rarely appear. This is the first time I’ve seen them.”

These guesses caused everyone’s hearts to palpitate. They, who visited the Moon Worship Region all year round, were very clear that in this cursed region, all living beings were lambs. Only the Red Moon Shrine was high and mighty and herded the lambs for the god.

Hence, they all lowered their heads and only set sail again after the thousands of river spirits had left.

Just like that, another two and a half days passed. Xu Qing and the others finally crossed the Sacrificial Yin River and saw the shore and the Moon Worship Region.

The land here was dark black.

The sky was dim, devoid of a sun, with only the moonlight stretching endlessly. It bathed the entire realm of the Moon Worship Region in a mysterious veil, cloaking the land in darkness.

As for the place where Xu Qing and the others went ashore, it was a barren mountain peak.

Some birds hid in the night and let out bitter cries. As for the ground, one could occasionally see decayed bones.

Xu Qing put away his spirit liner. The moment everyone stepped onto this land, the thousands of river spirits bowed toward the shore. Only then did they enter the river and disappear.

The captain looked around with a reminiscent expression as he sighed with emotion.

“After so many years, I’ve returned to this region again.”

“Junior Brother, we’re actually relatively safe now that we’re here. The Crimson Goddess is in a deep sleep. As long as we don’t expose our identities, we’ll be fine.”

Xu Qing nodded. Here, there was basically no one who knew them.

The captain patted Xu Qing’s shoulder.

“Then let’s part ways here. You go and handle your matters. I’ll bring Little Ningning and Big Jianjian to do something.”

Ning Yan felt bitter when he heard this. Wu Jianwu’s face was filled with excitement. He felt that he was very valued.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept past them and he silently blessed them inwardly. After that, he looked at the captain.

“Eldest Senior Brother, take care!”

This was their agreed upon route, and their current location was at the eastern border of the Moon Worship Region. From here, if they continued eastward, they wouldn’t be very far from the Heavenly Fire Sea that Xu Qing wanted to reach.

“I’ll be alright. With Little Ningning and Big Jianjian protecting me, who dares to touch me?”

The captain winked at Xu Qing. After that, he lifted his right hand and slapped his forehead. Immediately, his body changed and he transformed into a graceful middle-aged cultivator. His appearance also became much more handsome.

Especially the smirk on his face and the smugness in his expression gave him a somewhat wicked aura.

At that moment, with a spurious smile, the captain’s right hand conveniently patted the stomach of the weeping Ning Yan. Ning Yan’s entire body trembled and his appearance changed, turning into a maidservant.

Clearly, he had been aware of this beforehand, so there was no surprise on his part. However, his previously bitter expression now took on a sense of being often bullied in his maidservant guise.
