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.

“Little Qing, guess what happened when I met my ex-wife this time.”

Xu Qing ignored the captain and looked at the old man from Panquan Road. As for Ling’er, 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.

“Father!”

The medicinal effects of these medicinal pills were extraordinary and there were curse-resolving pills among them. Hence, very soon, the old man’s aura stabilized.

Xu Qing also retracted his gaze. He could tell that most of the other party’s 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 Moon’s curse. Although the curse had dissipated, more anomalous substances had mixed in. Most importantly, his physique was special.

“His physique seems to attract anomalous substances even more.”

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 party’s 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 captain’s 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 didn’t pay much attention. His focus shifted to the captain, who wore an expectant expression, seemingly in need of Xu Qing’s inquiry and cooperation.

“She wanted to get back together with you?”

The captain’s eyes lit up and he laughed proudly. He was waiting for Xu Qing to ask. This way, he wouldn’t have to mutter to himself and could continue speaking.

“Junior Brother, you’re indeed smart. That’s right, that’s 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.”

“The things in my previous life have passed. In this life, I don’t love wealth or power. I only love my Taotao!”

The captain had a nostalgic look, but the radiance in his expression was extremely profound.

Xu Qing naturally knew that the captain’s words were meant to be listened to in reverse. but the actual truth didn’t 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.

“Father!”

Ling’er was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t 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 man’s gaze was blank as he didn’t understand why he was here. After seeing Ling’er clearly, his emotions fluctuated.

“Ling’er!”

“I’ve finally found you.”

The old man from Panquan Road was excited and hugged Ling’er. 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 man’s eyes suddenly widened. After that, his pupils contracted and he instinctively restrained his arrogance. He subconsciously asked Ling’er.

“Ling’er, where is this?”

“This is the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Father, this is Grandpa Heir.”

Ling’er noticed her father’s 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 Ling’er, he naturally heard of the divine battle. Although Xu Qing and the captain’s names weren’t 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, Ling’er’s words caused the old man’s eyelids to twitch wildly.

In order to hide the fact that she had secretly escaped with Xu Qing back then, Ling’er continued to speak.

“Father, 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.”

“By the way, there are still some chicks in the backyard.”

“Father, I have been living well here. This apothecary was opened by Brother Xu Qing and me.”

Thunder rumbled in the old man’s 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 couldn’t breathe properly.

“Also, Father, it’s very safe here. Brother Xu Qing even gave me some gifts.”

As she spoke, Ling’er lifted her hand and released some of the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s imperial qi that had fused into her body.

“Also, 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.”

Ling’er spoke proudly.

However, her consecutive words were like thunder in her father’s 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 Ling’er mentioned. This made him gasp even more and he didn’t dare to continue listening. He hurriedly got up and bowed to the heir.

“Greetings, Senior!”

The heir nodded slightly and swept his gaze across the old man.

“Ancient 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.”

The old man dropped his head and remarked bitterly.

“After 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.”

“So, you chose Ling’er?” The heir glanced at Ling’er.

At that moment, for some reason, Ling’er couldn’t open her eyes. She didn’t 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 Ling’er. After checking, he confirmed that Ling’er 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 didn’t 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.

“Xu Qing, I didn’t come here just to look for Ling’er. Marquis Yao asked me to pass a message to you… Don’t return to Fenghai County for the time being.”

Xu Qing’s 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.

“Marquis Yao?”

Xu Qing slowly spoke.

“What happened in Fenghai County?”

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 Prince’s 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 Prince’s mother’s 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 prince’s 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 Prince’s maternal clan. He was also the Seventh Prince’s 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 Race’s battlefield in batches to fight for them.

This also included Fenghai County and the command couldn’t be rejected.

“By 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.”

The old man’s words echoed in the apothecary. Xu Qing’s 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.

“It’s 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 time…”

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 Ling’er’s words just now appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt that he didn’t have to sigh anymore.

“Uh… that’s what happened.”

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.

“I’ll go to Fenghai County with you.”

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!
