Xu Qing glanced at the youth in front of him and nodded slightly.

Last night, under the earnest request of this youth from the Holy Wave Race, he and the captain agreed to the other party after a long while of deliberation. They were going to use the Holy Wave Race’s convoy to leave this area where the Sword Holders were searching for them.

As for whether they would go to the Zenith Nation after entering the Holy Wave Race, Xu Qing didn’t give a conclusion.

The place they were arranged to hide was on the skin of the four-legged beast. This method was ingenious and even concealed their aura. Clearly, the Holy Wave Race was very good at this concealment technique.

“I have not failed the upper race and have successfully deceived the Sword Holders. We should not encounter any unexpected obstacles on our next journey. We will reach the Holy Wave Race within a month.”

The Holy Wave Race youth spoke while retrieving two lotus leaves from his storage bag. He held them above his head in a gesture of reverence.

“I have only seen the upper race twice in my hometown, and both times from a distance. Although my father has spoken to me about the upper race’s culture many times, I am still not very knowledgeable. However, I have heard that the upper race likes to consume moon dew before dawn, so I ordered someone to collect it.”

Xu Qing was calm but his mind was a little shaken. Although he had some understanding of the Black Heaven Race, he didn’t know such details and didn’t know about their love of consuming moon dew.

Moreover, this Holy Wave Race youth’s words were ambiguous. He seemed to be speaking normally but it also contained a hint of probing.

Hence, he was not sure if the Black Heaven Race really liked to drink moon dew.

He remained silent.

The captain smiled faintly and raised his right hand to grab at the air. Immediately, the two lotus leaves flew toward him. He didn’t drink the moon dew inside but gently dabbed his finger in it. After that, he smeared the dew on his eyes.

The moon dew rapidly evaporated, and a layer of membrane appeared in the captain’s black eyes, as though it was covering them. His expression also revealed a hint of comfort.

“You’re considerate. You can leave now.”

From the start to the end, this youth from the Holy Wave Race didn’t have any change in his expression other than the fanaticism. When he heard this, he respectfully retreated until he took nine steps back and stood up to leave. As he rose into the air, his figure grew larger and larger. Finally, he returned to his normal size and appeared on the four-legged beast.

Time flowed by and before long, half a month had pa.s.sed.

During this half a month, this youth from the Holy Wave Race knew his limits and didn’t disturb Xu Qing and the captain too much. Occasionally, when he appeared before them, he would request to meet them from afar and only approach after he was allowed.

His words and actions didn’t reveal any abnormalities. It was as though he really treated the two of them as upper race members.

However, occasionally, he would respectfully and cleverly ask about the culture and customs of the Black Heaven Race. Every time, his face would have a look of fascination.

Xu Qing didn’t know much about this, so he didn’t speak. Everything was handled by the captain.

The captain had clearly done his homework very well this time. His understanding of the Black Heaven Race was extremely high and he had even pointed out the other party’s mistakes twice.

“Who told you that the Black Heaven G.o.d Mountain is used for sacrifices? That’s the place where moonflowers bloom and where the G.o.d once descended. It’s where the G.o.d Palace is now.”

“Blackscale City under the G.o.d Mountain? What a pity. That city was gazed at by the G.o.d’s fragmented-face 60 years ago and has already disappeared. Not many people in the external world know about this.”

Regardless of whether it was his expression or tone, the captain didn’t reveal any flaws. It gave Xu Qing the feeling that the captain had really lived in the Black Heaven Race.

This also caused the fanaticism in the eyes of the Holy Wave Race youth to intensify.

However, this person’s probing didn’t completely disappear. There was one time when the sunlight was at its strongest at noon. Although he didn’t appear, the fur that covered the sunlight s.h.i.+fted imperceptibly, causing the strong sunlight to directly fall on Xu Qing’s body.

Xu Qing frowned and waved his hand slightly. Immediately, the fur that blocked the sun returned to its original angle. Although there weren’t many such small matters, Xu Qing and the captain handled them very well every time. Hence, the probes slowly stopped.

On this day, in the Lin Lan province, the Holy Wave Race’s convoy approached the Heavenly Moon Canyon.

The Heavenly Moon Canyon was very large. According to the speed of the convoy, it would take three days to pa.s.s through here. After leaving the canyon, they would reach the border in another week.

Because Lin Lan Province was a province that bordered the Holy Wave Race, when the convoy arrived here, the Holy Wave Race cultivators all heaved a sigh of relief and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

After spending the night outside the canyon, the next morning, the convoy majestically stepped into the canyon and galloped inside.

The day pa.s.sed very quickly. When dusk was about to arrive, they were already close to the middle section of the canyon.

The sides of the canyon were covered with jagged and towering mountain rocks, blocking out part of the sunlight, causing the canyon to look a little dim.

In the distance, in a hidden cave at a high place, a woman in red opened her eyes, revealing a cold glint.

This woman wore a mask and had a huge evil ghost scythe beside her. It was Qing Qiu.

She had been here for half a month and her target was the mica stone convoy that had returned.

These convoys were of various sizes. In order not to alert the enemy, Qing Qiu had already let go of a few small convoys, waiting for the largest envoy.

“They’re here, they’re here!!” When Xu Qing and the Holy Wave Race’s convoy approached this area, the voice of the evil ghost immediately rang out in Qing Qiu’s mind.

“This convoy is one of the targets you asked me to investigate previously. They are from the Zenith Nation in the Great Wilderness East County. Although it’s a small country, the number of mica stones they are transporting this time is quite a lot.”

“From what I sensed, they have a hundred or so cultivators in the convoy, and there aren’t many Golden Cores. The strongest is six palaces!”

“They are a good target. The six palaces is a suitable target for us to perish together with!”

As the evil ghost’s voice clamored, a cold glint flashed in Qing Qiu’s eyes. As she circulated her cultivation base, her entire body emitted a red light. Under the activation of her secret art, there were actually fluctuations of the combat strength of six palaces.

Clearly, in the past few months, her cultivation had finally broken through and formed four Heavenly Palaces. Coupled with an emperor-level cultivation art and secret art, her combat strength had reached six palaces.

“According to their speed, they will reach us in about fifteen minutes!”

The evil ghost’s voice was filled with excitement. However, it clearly didn’t notice the captain and Xu Qing in the convoy. Qing Qiu also never expected Xu Qing and the captain to be in the convoy.

She licked her lips and the cold glint in her eyes grew increasingly intense as she waited silently.

At the same time, in the convoy, Xu Qing lifted his head and looked into the distance. The voice of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor had just rang out in his mind.

“Master, I sensed an artifact spirit’s divine sense sweeping over just now. It’s the red woman’s scythe evil ghost.”

Xu Qing raised his brows.

The captain at the side suddenly lifted his head and looked into the distance with at surprised expression. Clearly, he had his own way of sensing it.

“Interesting. You sensed it too, right?” The captain smiled and turned to transmit his voice to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing wasn’t too surprised that the captain could sense it. After a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes, he replied through voice transmission.

“If her target isn’t this convoy, we shouldn’t complicate things.”

“What if it is?” The captain smiled faintly.

“The killings in Fenghai County will be investigated, we will capture her and kill her when we reach Holy Wave Race’s territory,” Xu Qing calmly said. “You really want to kill her? Haha, alright. Before you kill her, let’s take a look at what she looks like. She wears a mask all the time.” The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qing with a hint of teasing in them.

Xu Qing was surprised and frowned.

In the evening.

The afterglow landed on the ground with a faint yellow glow. When it landed on the canyon, it was even dimmer, causing the canyon to welcome night in advance. As the hundreds of red-skinned four-legged beasts moved forward, the ground continued to tremble. A loud explosion erupted from the front of the convoy.

The ground there suddenly exploded. Countless gravel splattered in all directions and array formation runes fell from the sky, enveloping the surroundings like a large net.

There was also a blood-colored light that descended like a sea of blood, permeating all areas, causing the canyon to instantly be filled with blood.

Amidst the exclamations and chaos, a small and skinny figure flew out from the dusk. She wore a large red robe, an exquisite white mask, and a huge evil ghost scythe.

As the figure appeared, an ancient voice that sounded like it was chanting echoed through the world.

“Litu inherits luck, and Dao marks are difficult to find. Mystic Nether Sovereign, bless and guide. Battle soul, descend. Help my sect to set off on the journey!”

When the chanting spread in all directions, the world was affected by a certain force and waves of cold wind actually appeared in the canyon.

This wind swept through everything. Wherever it pa.s.sed, all the Holy Wave Race cultivators who sensed it would tremble as though they had been invaded by ice. Waves of horror rose in their hearts.

The cold wind whistled over from all directions and gathered around the evil ghost scythe in the red-clothed woman’s hand in the blink of an eye.

The evil ghost’s eyes flickered, emitting a scarlet light. After that, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit at the woman’s arm.

At the next instant, the woman in red’s entire body trembled and overlapping shadows formed outside her body. It was as though a battle soul was being guided over and fusing into her body.

One could vaguely see that the battle soul was an armored female general. It manifested behind the woman in red and enhanced her cultivation strength. This scene caused the woman in red to be like an emissary of death that wanted to harvest all lives.

Not only that, but there was also an endless red light emitting from her.

That was the Blood Domain of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect!

The moment the domain unfolded, another personality appeared and replaced Qing Qiu.

At the next instant, a bizarre smile spread out from Qing Qiu’s mouth.

“Hehehe.”

Her laughter coupled with her expression gave off an endless sense of madness. Her speed erupted and fused with the blood color. She charged toward the people from the Holy Wave Race with the sea of blood.

The evil ghost scythe in her hand tore through the sky. The sharp blade seemed to be able to cut through the void. Wherever it pa.s.sed, the sky would change color and the wind would surge.

No one could stop her at all.

Even the expression of the youth with the extraordinary bloodline of the Holy Wave Race changed drastically as he hurriedly rushed out to stop her. However, although he also had the combat strength of six palaces, he was slower than Qing Qiu.

After all, they were a convoy, not the black-clothed guards in charge of killing.

Qing Qiu dodged slightly and headed straight for the crowd with intense killing intent.

“Hehehehe.”

The cultivators of the Holy Wave Race could do nothing. As the scythe swept out, their bodies were instantly cut into pieces.

Qing Qiu’s attacks were ruthless and destructive. Clearly, she wanted to kill everyone here.

During the ma.s.sacre, blood splattered on her body, causing the color of blood in her eyes to intensify.

This was especially so for the act of licking away the blood. That sense of madness intensified to the extreme.

The Qing Qiu at this moment was what Xu Qing remembered from the first time they met.

It was also the origin of the word ‘Woman in Red”!

It could even be said that without Xu Qing and the captain, and if this convoy didn’t have any trump cards, there was a high chance that Qing Qiu’s ambush would succeed.

Even though this convoy had hidden their trump cards, with Qing Qiu’s current combat strength and speed, she could still plunder a portion of the mica stones.

It was just that… it was impossible for Xu Qing and the captain to watch Qing Qiu continue with this. They didn’t care if the Holy Wave Race died or not but they couldn’t die before bringing them to the Holy Wave Race.

Hence, when Qing Qiu forced back the Holy Wave Race youth with a single strike and cut open another Golden Core cultivator of the Holy Wave Race, the captain made his move.

He flew out of the four-legged beast’s body as though he had appeared out of thin air. He instantly transformed from mini figure to normal size, revealing the appearance of the Black Heaven Race. He let out a cold snort.

“Human, how dare you!”.
