597 Escalating Situation (2)

Muye hurriedly followed behind and the group left.

The captain calmly pulled the rope in his hand and Ning Yan’s body shook as he followed. His heart was filled with confusion, grief, anger, fear, and regret.

Everything was completely inconsistent with his plan. According to his plan, even if he failed this time, he wouldn’t be in danger. His identity as a member of the Calamity Immortal Race would cause him to be imprisoned for a period of time at most before he would be released.

After all, this place was transformed from the last pure-blooded member of the Calamity Immortal Race who had become an immortal. The Calamity Immortal Race was the true natives of the Holy Wave Domain, so they had many descendants.

As a latecomer, the Holy Wave Race wasn’t willing to easily cause a conflict between the two races.

In fact, there was a high chance that he would be able to take away one or two Dao fruits when he was released. This was an extremely good deal, so he came here.

However, he never expected to encounter the Black Heaven Race here

As Ning Yan was dragged forward, he looked up at Qing Qiu with sorrow and grievance in his heart. He realized that the expression in Qing Qiu’s eyes was similar to his.

Just like that, these aggrieved two people followed Xu Qing and the captain back to the palace of the Zenith Nation under the escort of a group of Holy Wave Race guards.

After arriving here, Xu Qing sat cross-legged and meditated in the hall as usual. Qing Qiu sat beside him and gritted her teeth. She didn’t completely submit to her status as a maidservant but was constantly searching for an opportunity to escape.

The captain was different from usual. After he returned, he dragged Ning Yan with intense anticipation. Despite Ning Yan’s anxious and terrified expression, he couldn’t resist and was dragged into a side hall while pleading for mercy.

Very soon, Ning Yan’s mournful wail rang out from the side hall.

“Sir, you, you, you What are you doing?”

“Ah!”

The wails quickly turned into screams.

Qing Qiu’s body trembled. She didn’t know what was happening in the side hall, and her perception couldn’t sense it either. However, she could imagine countless soul-stirring scenes from this mournful cry.

She glanced at Xu Qing, who was as calm as ever, and gained a better understanding of the cruelty of the Black Heaven Race.

‘The Black Heaven Race deserves to die, especially these two!’ Qing Qiu’s thoughts churned.

Xu Qing didn’t care about these. To him, those screams were clearly from being bitten by the captain.

‘He probably couldn’t take a bite before because he was a Sword Holder. Now that his identity has changed, with his personality, he will definitely study Ning Yan’s body carefully.’

Xu Qing spread out his perception and fused it into the Black Heaven Statue floating above the palace. He continued his research. This was what he was most interested in other than waiting during this period of time.

‘If I can bring it back to Fenghai County’

Xu Qing felt anticipation in his heart.

This Black Heaven Statue was very extraordinary. The power of the Red Moon contained in it was dense and was emitting anomalous substances at all times. Although Xu Qing could give it an order, it was still a little inappropriate to take it away.

Firstly, this statue couldn’t be stored in his storage bag and it was too bright. Secondly, if it really faced the Red Moon, this statue would probably instantly change sides.

If he took it away, it would undoubtedly be a lightning bomb that could erupt at any time.

‘Unless I can completely replace the Red Moon’s power in it with my Purple Moon power.’

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This was the direction of his research.

As Xu Qing continued his research, dusk arrived. The sky outside the canopy slowly darkened. In the area around it, the human-shaped lanterns that used life fire as light also slowly grew weaker.

In the dim world, outside the palace of the Zenith Nation, dozens of Holy Wave Race cultivators were standing solemnly on the altar where Black Heaven Statue was originally located.

The surroundings had long been sealed off and an array formation had been set up, preventing outsiders from sensing it.

Among the dozens of people on the altar, most of them were at the perfected Nascent Soul Realm. Only five of them had cultivation levels that surpassed everyone and had reached the Spirit Repository Realm.

The king of the Zenith Nation was one of them.

In front of everyone stood an old man in a black robe. This old man’s skin was red and he looked very strange. The four secret repositories behind him emitted a terrifying pressure.

He was the state preceptor of the Zenith Nation. At that moment, his expression was gloomy. He lifted his head and looked at the distant palace before looking at everyone. He let out a cold snort.

“This is ridiculous!”

“All of you are the rulers of your countries. I don’t believe that you guys are so muddle-headed that you don’t even have the most basic judgment?”

“What kind of status does the Black Heaven Race have? How could they come here through a convoy?!”

“Not to mention that one of the two imposters has mixed faith and chaotic bloodline. How can he be from the Black Heaven Race?!”

“Also, their maid is the new Sword Holder of the human race. Her name is Qing Qiu. You’ve found out about this. Why are you still hesitating?”

The old man reprimanded. Everyone silently lowered their heads and didn’t speak, but their gazes swept past the king of the Zenith Nation.

In reality, regarding Xu Qing and the captain’s identities, even now, they mostly didn’t believe it. However, the statue kneeling down and the aura of the blessing were real.

This caused them to be confused.

“Also, ruler, I checked your son’s blessing. It’s just a smokescreen. If you don’t believe me, just send him to the dynasty and let them take a look.” The old man said coldly and then looked at the palace.

“The most laughable thing is these two. Although they have some tricks up their sleeves to be able to fool you, their greatest flaw is that out of all things they could disguise themselves to, one of them disguised as Black Heaven’s Divine Son?”

“Hmph, this old man has been cultivating in the Black Heaven Race for many years. There are many fellow Daoists in the Black Heaven Race but I’ve never heard of the Black Heaven Temple having a divine son!”
