1113 Accompany You Back to Fenghai County
The moment he entered the shop, the captain casually threw the unconscious old man onto the ground. Then, he approached Xu Qing, wrapped an arm around his neck, and grinned triumphantly.
āLittle Qing, guess what happened when I met my ex-wife this time.ā
Xu Qing ignored the captain and looked at the old man from Panquan Road. As for Lingāer, she had already run over after crying out in surprise and helped him up. Her expression was filled with disbelief and worry as she called out to him. She also took out many medicinal pills and put them in the mouth of the old man.
āFather!ā
The medicinal effects of these medicinal pills were extraordinary and there were curse-resolving pills among them. Hence, very soon, the old manās aura stabilized.
Xu Qing also retracted his gaze. He could tell that most of the other partyās injuries were superficial, not like he was beaten up, but more like he stumbled and fell. As for the reason why he fainted, it was because he had been invaded by the Red Moonās curse. Although the curse had dissipated, more anomalous substances had mixed in. Most importantly, his physique was special.
āHis physique seems to attract anomalous substances even more.ā
This was something Xu Qing could tell with his current cultivation.
At the same time, it reminded him of the battle he had with the other party in the Seven Blood Eyes. At that time, the face of this old man split open, revealing his identity as a nonhuman.
In addition, the other partyās inn was also a bizarre entity. After that, Xu Qing learned that this old man had an ability that could make bizarre entities sleep and seal them.
Back then, he was the one who moved the inn to the Seven Blood Eyes and sold it to the First Peak.
There was also the captainās initial-stage seal. It was also enhanced by this old man.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment. However, since the old man was mostly unharmed, he didnāt pay much attention. His focus shifted to the captain, who wore an expectant expression, seemingly in need of Xu Qingās inquiry and cooperation.
āShe wanted to get back together with you?ā
The captainās eyes lit up and he laughed proudly. He was waiting for Xu Qing to ask. This way, he wouldnāt have to mutter to himself and could continue speaking.
āJunior Brother, youāre indeed smart. Thatās right, thatās the case. Although She is a god, although She promised that as long as I agreed, I could skip ten thousand years of struggle, in the end, I still chose to refuse.ā
āThe things in my previous life have passed. In this life, I donāt love wealth or power. I only love my Taotao!ā
The captain had a nostalgic look, but the radiance in his expression was extremely profound.
Xu Qing naturally knew that the captainās words were meant to be listened to in reverse. but the actual truth didnāt matter. It was fine as long as his eldest senior brother was happy. So, he stretched his face into a grin, putting on an expression of amazement.
The captain was even happier. Just as he was about to continue bragging, the old man from Panquan Road, who was lying there, let out a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.
āFather!ā
Lingāer was pleasantly surprised and couldnāt help but feel a little nervous. She had secretly run away back then.
Xu Qing and the others also looked at the old man.
At first, the old manās gaze was blank as he didnāt understand why he was here. After seeing Lingāer clearly, his emotions fluctuated.
āLingāer!ā
āIāve finally found you.ā
The old man from Panquan Road was excited and hugged Lingāer. When he noticed that his daughter was fine, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. After that, his gaze swept across the inn and he saw the captain, Ning Yan, Wu Jianwu, and Nether Fairy.
It was fine for the first few, but Nether Fairy shocked him.
When he saw Xu Qing, he glared at him. Just as he was about to speak with hostility, he saw the heir drinking tea from the corner of his eye.
The old manās eyes suddenly widened. After that, his pupils contracted and he instinctively restrained his arrogance. He subconsciously asked Lingāer.
āLingāer, where is this?ā
āThis is the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Father, this is Grandpa Heir.ā
Lingāer noticed her fatherās gaze and hurriedly introduced.
The old man was no longer the same as when he had just arrived at the Moon Offering. During the process of searching for Lingāer, he naturally heard of the divine battle. Although Xu Qing and the captainās names werenāt obvious and would be hard to hear unless they were from the Moon Rebel Hall, he had heard of the legend of the crown prince and his siblings.
He knew about the Bitter Life Mountain Range and understood that it had become the most important core of this large region.
Hence, Lingāerās words caused the old manās eyelids to twitch wildly.
In order to hide the fact that she had secretly escaped with Xu Qing back then, Lingāer continued to speak.
āFather, it was very lively here in the past. There were also Third Grandma, Grandma Five, and Eighth Grandpa. They are all very good to me.ā
āBy the way, there are still some chicks in the backyard.ā
āFather, I have been living well here. This apothecary was opened by Brother Xu Qing and me.ā
Thunder rumbled in the old manās heart. Other than hearing about the Bitter Life Mountain Range, he had also heard about the apothecary that was close to a holy land.
At that moment, when he heard of the origin of the apothecary, his body trembled and he couldnāt breathe properly.
āAlso, Father, itās very safe here. Brother Xu Qing even gave me some gifts.ā
As she spoke, Lingāer lifted her hand and released some of the Ancient Spirit Emperorās imperial qi that had fused into her body.
āAlso, Brother Xu Qing is super powerful. Previously, when Crimson Goddess arrived and surrounded this place, it was Brother Xu Qing who chased them away. Later on, Brother Xu Qing and grandparents even went to the moon and destroyed Crimson Goddess.ā
Lingāer spoke proudly.
However, her consecutive words were like thunder in her fatherās heart. In the end, it was like a million heavenly lightning bolts had exploded, rumbling his soul.
The old man quickly reacted to the identities of the other grandparents that Lingāer mentioned. This made him gasp even more and he didnāt dare to continue listening. He hurriedly got up and bowed to the heir.
āGreetings, Senior!ā
The heir nodded slightly and swept his gaze across the old man.
āAncient Sealing Race? This race exists with the imperial qi. Every generation of ancient sovereigns has a position for them to seal the heavens through the imperial qi. Their status is extremely high but the bloodline you have seems somewhat impure.ā
The old man dropped his head and remarked bitterly.
āAfter the god descended, my race also changed. The sealing restriction turned into sealing ghosts and there were no ancient sovereigns in the world anymore, so there was no more use for my race.ā
āSo, you chose Lingāer?ā The heir glanced at Lingāer.
At that moment, for some reason, Lingāer couldnāt open her eyes. She didnāt understand the meaning behind it either. She forced herself to stay awake and yawned.
When the old man saw this, he was shocked. Xu Qing took a step forward and supported Lingāer. After checking, he confirmed that Lingāer was fine. It was the imperial qi that had fused into her body and was fusing with her at a deeper level.
The heir smiled and didnāt speak anymore, continuing to drink his tea.
When the old man saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. The pressure he felt when facing the heir was extremely great. At that moment, he looked at Xu Qing. His original hostility and resentment had long been deeply hidden by him and turned into a sigh.
āXu Qing, I didnāt come here just to look for Lingāer. Marquis Yao asked me to pass a message to you⦠Donāt return to Fenghai County for the time being.ā
Xu Qingās expression was originally normal but after hearing this, his eyes suddenly gleamed. The captain at the side also frowned and his entire body emitted a pressure.
āMarquis Yao?ā
Xu Qing slowly spoke.
āWhat happened in Fenghai County?ā
The old man moaned and told them in detail what had happened in Fenghai County and even the Holy Wave Large Region while Xu Qing was away.
When Xu Qing, the captain, and the others left, the situation in the Holy Wave Large Region was in a certain level of balance.
On one side was the Grand Duke Holy Wave. After he lost the backing of the Black Heaven Race, he immediately chose to return to the human race and submit to the Human Emperor, not daring to act rashly.
However, the Seventh Princeās army still remained. While it occupied half of the large region, the third princess was ordered to manage the situation and keep the Seventh Prince in check.
Because of what had happened in the past, Fenghai County became very special and even had the right to autonomy. Hence, it survived in this balance and was roped in by the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess.
All of this changed drastically as the undercurrents in the Imperial City surged.
Firstly, the Third Princess was suddenly remembered to the Grand Imperial Capital Region. She gave up on the main political regime in the Holy Wave Region and handed everything over to the Seventh Prince.
The reason was quickly known by Fenghai County.
The Seventh Princeās motherās clan was a powerful family in the Grand Imperial Capital Region. They had reached a certain agreement with the Human Emperor about the Seventh Prince.
In the end, the Human Emperor summoned the third princess back and tacitly agreed to the seventh princeās status and rights in the Holy Wave Large Region.
At the same time, a person was sent from the Grand Imperial Capital Region to preside over the Holy Wave Large Region.
This person was one of the pillars of the Seventh Princeās maternal clan. He was also the Seventh Princeās biological uncle and one of the thirty-three Heavenly Kings of the human race, King Tian Lan.
His cultivation base was at the Soul Accumulation realm and his status in the human race was extremely high.
After he led his troops to the Holy Wave Large Region, he gained great power. He seemed to want to completely control the Holy Wave Large Region and even started a war against the Black Heaven Race.
This was his promise to the Human Emperor and also the agreement between their family and the Human Emperor.
He would blast open the gate of the Black Heaven Race for the Human Emperor. Under the current weakened situation of the Black Heaven Race, he would sweep through the Black Heaven Race and expand new territories for the Human Emperor.
Facing the imposing King Tian Lan, the Grand Duke Holy Wave also avoided him and chose to obey.
As for Fenghai County⦠although it had the right to autonomy, it was insignificant in front of King Tian Lan.
He would only need to give a decree, and Fenghai County would be as turbulent as a leaf in a furious sea.
The people in the county were even more anxious. Many races and sects chose to submit immediately.
Among them was the Alliance Leader of the Eight Sects Alliance. He decisively gave up his identity and status in the Eight Sects Alliance and brought a portion of his subordinates to join King Tian Lan.
After that, King Tian Lan ordered the recruitment of all the cultivators of the myriad races in the entire region to head to the Black Heaven Raceās battlefield in batches to fight for them.
This also included Fenghai County and the command couldnāt be rejected.
āBy the time I set off, Fenghai County had already sent three batches of cultivators and all of them died in battle. In this battle with the Black Heaven Race, King Tian Lan is simply sacrificing human lives to exhaust the Black Heaven Race.ā
The old manās words echoed in the apothecary. Xu Qingās expression was cold, and the captain narrowed his eyes. The others fell silent one after another, especially Ning Yan. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but ultimately fell silent.
āItās also because of this that Marquis Yao asked me to inform you not to return. Once you return⦠the Seventh Prince will definitely take advantage of the situation to recruit you. At that timeā¦ā
The old man was about to sigh at the severity of the situation but when he saw the heir drinking tea, the things he had heard and Lingāerās words just now appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt that he didnāt have to sigh anymore.
āUh⦠thatās what happened.ā
The old man blinked and remarked in a low voice.
Xu Qing lifted his head and gazed in the direction of Fenghai County. After that, he turned and bowed to the heir.
The heir put down his teacup and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice echoed in the Bitter Life Mountain Range.
āIāll go to Fenghai County with you.ā
This voice was like a sword qi that carried killing intent. The world trembled and the wind surged, rumbling in all directions.
When the heir heard this, he moaned and picked up the teacup again.
This voice came from Old Ninth!
