Xu Qing silently descended the mountain.
He did not choose to fly. Instead, he walked under the moonlight and headed toward the Seven Blood Pupil's main city.
The previous scene caused a strange feeling to arise in his heart. In all his life, he had rarely felt such waves in his heart.
Xu Qing was not used to it.
As he walked, he recalled the Classic of Plants. As the knowledge of each herb appeared, Xu Qing's heart gradually calmed down.
His expression returned to normal, and his pace became calm. He increased his speed until he reached the berth. Xu Qing stood on the shore and looked in the direction of the Xuan You Sect. He was suspicious and alert.
He could tell that Exalted Immortal Zixuan was trying to tease him. Xu Qing was no longer an ignorant child.
However, he did not believe that a patriarch of that level would be so simple-minded. There had to be other reasons. After all … there was no such thing as friendliness in this world. There had to be a reason.
However, he could not figure out what the reason was. Thus, he waved his hand and took out the Dharma ship. He sat cross-legged in the cabin and muttered to himself. Xu Qing did not have any clues even when the sky was getting brighter. He buried this matter in his heart and closed his eyes to meditate.
As for the work of the Security Guard, Xu Qing had not dealt with it for a long time. This was because the 20% discount he gave to the captain was being used every day.
According to the informant, the captain had been inviting Wu Jianwu over every day. The two of them seemed to be talking about something. They seemed to be egging each other on. Wu Jianwu, on the other hand, seemed to be excited but hesitant.
Xu Qing was a little surprised. However, he was not very curious. Thus, he did not ask. Instead, he seized the time to refine the Blood of Mie Meng. Just like that, a few days passed.
On this day, when the night sky of the Qing Layer was burned by the rising sun and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, the moment the sunlight shone into the faceless bow of the spiritual boat, Xu Qing received a message in his jade slip.
"Little friend, pack up. Big Sister is coming to pick you up. We are going out for a walk!"
Xu Qing was silent when he saw the message. He thought about it and sent a message to Lord Seven to inform him.
Lord Seven was also silent for a long time. He tried asking Xu Qing, "Fourth Brother, is this your first date?"
"Date?" Xu Qing was stunned.
After sensing Xu Qing's reaction, Lord Seven laughed and told Xu Qing that he could accompany them without worry.
Just as Xu Qing was hesitating, Exalted Immortal Zixuan's magnetic voice came from outside the cabin.
"Little friend, let's go!"
Xu Qing raised his head and silently walked out of the cabin. He saw Exalted Immortal Violetmystic sitting on the railing of his Dharmic Ship, drinking from a pot of wine in his hand.
Exalted Immortal Purple Mystic's black hair fluttered in the sea breeze. She was dressed in a white scholarly robe, and her face was as beautiful as a pear blossom.
This scene was very beautiful. Her light eyebrows were like autumn water, and her jade-like skin was accompanied by a gentle breeze as she basked in the sunlight. Her entire person was like a gem, like the whole world, without any liveliness or splendor, like the Bell Spirit of Heaven and Earth that had been born for thousands of years.
Sensing that Xu Qing had walked out, Heavenly Immortal Deep Purple put down the wine jug and gently turned her head. At this moment, the sunlight passed through the gaps between her fluttering hair, forming a rainbow halo. It was a beautiful sight.
Especially when her deep eyes landed on Xu Qing, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
This smile was different from the Hunter that Xu Qing had seen before. It seemed to contain some gentleness.
Perhaps if someone were here to see this scene, they would certainly feel a sense of absent-mindedness. Indeed, the two people on the ship were like treasures, the man was like the stars. It seemed that at this moment, even the first rays of the morning sun were willing to serve as a foil.
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks.
The Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic today was completely different from the Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic he had seen in the past. She was less charming, more heroic, less domineering, and more gentle.
There were some contradictions, but they merged perfectly with Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic. This change in style made Xu Qing take a few more glances at her.
"Do I look good?" Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic tilted her head and blinked. Xu Qing nodded.
Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic was very happy when she heard this. She let out a pleasant laugh, then patted the ship's railing and smiled.
"Little friend, your ship is not bad. Why don't you use this ship to travel to the Xuan You Sect that you saw before?" After saying that, Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic turned around and took a deep breath of the air that contained the sunlight. She picked up the wine jug and drank it again.
Xu Qing looked at the railing where Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic was sitting and saw her taking a deep breath. He hesitated for a moment. There were too many poisons on his ship. At this moment, there were at least 200 of them in the air.
Facing the Wind and Waiting for the moon
Be it the deck or the railing, every part of the ship was highly toxic.
However, he felt that given Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic's cultivation, this little bit of poison was nothing to him. Thus, he formed an incantation gesture and waved his hand. Immediately, the ship trembled and slowly rose into the air. Then, it turned around and headed in the direction of the Ancient River of Immortality. It was not slow at all, and in an instant, it was already far away.
Looking at the ship in the distance, the sails of the ship were raised in the morning sun. Xu Qing stood on the deck of the ship, his purple Daoist robes fluttering in the wind as he steered the ship.
On the railing of the ship, the stunningly beautiful Exalted Immortal Purple Profound sat there, swinging her legs back and forth. She tilted her head and looked into the distance, drinking wine as she enjoyed the breeze. Her black hair fluttered along with Xu Qing's robes.
If this scene was painted by an artist, it would definitely be extremely beautiful and full of artistic conception.
On the ground, the captain of the ship poked his head out from a corner of the harbor. He held a photographic jade slip in his hand and quickly recorded this scene.
"Little Ah Qing's first date. I have to record such a precious scene. Who knows, I might be able to sell it for a good price in the future." The captain's face was filled with pride.
However, he did not notice that not far behind him, the Seventh Lord was standing in a pavilion and looking at the ship in the sky. He sighed.
"Is this still the same Fairy Deep Purple Mystic who captivated countless outstanding talents?
Old Fourth's charm can already be compared to when I was young. "
The master and disciple watched as the ship left the Seven Blood Pupils' sect and rapidly advanced along the Ancient River's tributary.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and it was as blue as a pure lake. It gave off a refreshing feeling. Xu Qing sat at the bow of the ship and focused on steering the ship.
Being alone with Exalted Immortal Deep Purple Mystic made Xu Qing somewhat nervous. After all, not only was her cultivation base terrifying, but her previous actions had also made him feel uncomfortable.
Thus, he could only focus all his attention on steering the ship. Just like that, a few days passed.
Although Xu Qing was still nervous, he heaved a sigh of relief. That was because Exalted Immortal Violetmystic hadn't said a single word during the day. She seemed to like sitting on the railing of the ship, drinking wine there, enjoying the breeze, and looking into the distance.
This caused the already beautiful Exalted Immortal Purple Profound to begin with to seem as if she was surrounded by stars. Her beautiful face was radiant and flawless, and at the same time, she was gorgeous and pure, like a fairy from the moon descending upon the mortal realm.
However, this fairy was no longer seductive, nor gentle. Instead, a coldness emerged from her body. She lowered her head and looked at Taisidu Mountain in the darkness.
Xu Qing lowered his head and noticed that Exalted Immortal Violetmystic seemed to be looking at a sect. As it was too far away, he could not see it clearly. All he could hear was the shrill cries of agony coming from the wind.
"Let's go and take a look," Heavenly Immortal Purple Profound said.
This was the first time Xu Qing had sensed such a cold expression and tone from Exalted Immortal Purple Profound. His heart skipped a beat as he turned the magic boat around and headed straight for Taisidu Mountain.
As they got closer, Xu Qing saw that it was not a sect, but a stronghold built on top of a mountain. Inside, there were hundreds of rogue cultivators, both humans and foreign races. Most of them looked ferocious, and they reeked of blood. There was a lot of blood in the stronghold, and there was an array carved in the middle of the stronghold.
Countless corpses were piled on top of the formation as if they had become sacrificial offerings for some kind of evil ritual.
As the ritual began, an indescribable evil spread out from the formation. At the same time, the sound of chewing echoed in the air. The hundreds of ferocious-looking cultivators in the surroundings all had frenzied looks on their faces as they prostrated themselves in worship.
When Xu Qing saw this, his pupils constricted slightly. He felt his heart palpitate.
The hundreds of cultivators were nothing. The strongest among them was a Gold Core cultivator with a Heavenly Palace. What made Xu Qing's heart palpitate was the evil that spread out from the formation.
"The sword-bearers have ordered that sacrifices to evil beings are strictly prohibited in Emperor Province. The Eight Sect Alliance has also issued such a decree. You are quite bold!"
The instant Exalted Immortal Purple Profound's calm voice echoed in the night sky, the evil aura in the formation fluctuated violently. It revealed a look of terror as it rapidly shrank back, as if it wanted to retreat.
As for the surrounding cultivators, their expressions changed drastically. However, before they could speak or see the magic boat in the sky clearly, Exalted Immortal Purple Profound raised her jade-like hand and gently waved it downward.
In Xu Qing's eyes, the way she waved her hand contained an indescribable charm. He could not see much, but he felt that this seemingly casual wave of her hand seemed to conform to the laws of heaven and earth. No divine ability descended, and no spell was cast.
However, the hundreds of trembling cultivators in the stronghold on the mountaintop suddenly shrank in size, along with the formation and the evil aura within it.
Facing the Wind and Waiting for the Moon
Even the mountain shrank in the blink of an eye, disappearing from Xu Qing's sight.
This scene shocked Xu Qing. A grain of sand flew over and landed between Exalted Immortal Purple Profound's fingers.
When Xu Qing saw the grain of sand, he circulated his cultivation base and looked at it carefully. With his full strength, he finally saw that the grain of sand was in the shape of a mountain. It was the mountain from before.
The cultivators on it were no different from the formation and the evil aura. However, they had clearly shrunk countless times. At this moment, they were filled with terror and despair.
Exalted Immortal Purple Profound's two fingers squeezed lightly.
With a cracking sound, the grain of sand turned into dust and dissipated.
"Little friend, what are you waiting for? Let's continue moving!
Let's follow the mountain range. I want to see the scenery. "Exalted Immortal Purple Profound, who was sitting on the railing of the ship, glanced at Xu Qing and smiled gently.
Her smile melted the iciness. Her charm surpassed the moonlight.
