The captain blinked his eyes.
"That's not important. Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about the Crimson Moon first.
"Little Junior Brother, think about it. If we don't devour her this time, once she wakes up, it will be much easier for her to find us. As long as she has a thought, she will be able to find us immediately!
"You have her God Source, and I have her aura. To her, we are bandits who will definitely die.
"So we have to kill her before she wakes up!
"She's just a woman. We're not afraid!" The captain took out a peach and took a big bite.
Xu Qing's breathing quickened. His mind was in turmoil, and his eyes were bloodshot. He knew that the captain was going to do something big, but he did not expect it to be so big.
"Big Senior Brother, tell me in detail."
Xu Qing gritted his teeth.
The captain was excited when he heard that, and he quickly spoke.
"Little Ah Qing, the Sacrificial Moon District is a very special district. In the Black Sky Clan, that place is like a holy land, or rather, it is a holy land.
"Because … the Sacrificial Moon District is where the Crimson Moon must pass!
"The Crimson Moon is the Crimson Moon, and the Crimson Mother is the Crimson Mother!"
The captain looked at Xu Qing with a serious expression.
Xu Qing nodded and listened attentively.
"First, you have to understand that … the Crimson Mother is sleeping on the Crimson Moon, and the Crimson Moon is a star, a moon, a special celestial body!
"So, if you want to devour the Crimson Mother, you have to enter her resting place, the Crimson Moon!
"But the Crimson Moon is in the sky. Although it has a certain trajectory, it is hard to find. Even if we can see it, we can't get close.
"However, the Sacrificial Moon District is different. In the Repenting Plain in the middle of the district, there is a shocking statue!"
Speaking of the statue, the captain's expression was a little strange. He sighed with emotion.
Xu Qing was deep in thought when he saw that.
"The statue is extremely tall. Although it is in a kneeling posture, it is still supporting the sky. Its height is indescribable, and it is infinitely close to the top of the sky.
"Every time the Crimson Moon passes by, it will whistle above the head of the statue. Therefore, standing on the head of the statue, the Crimson Moon and the stars are within reach. That is also the lowest position of the Crimson Moon. I can confirm one thing from the information I received."
"So, from there, at the moment when the crimson moon whizzes past, we can fly with all our strength and step onto the crimson moon."
After saying that, the captain took out a peach and took a bite before looking at Xu Qing.
"As for what we're going to do after we enter the Crimson Moon, I've already made plans and preparations. Red Mother … I'm definitely going to swallow her this time!"
The captain's eyes turned red, and the madness in his eyes intensified.
Xu Qing asked with a contemplative look in his eyes.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what is the identity of the statue?"
When the captain heard this, he was silent for a few breaths. He threw a peach to Xu Qing and said in a hoarse voice.
"That statue is a human ruler who refused to leave with Emperor Xuan You during the time of Emperor Xuan You. The original Jiyue Region was his territory!
"He and Red Mother had a great battle there. In the end, the ruler died in battle. However, there should be other grievances between them, so Red Mother punished him by making his body kneel for eternity. At the same time, she cursed him and turned his territory into a pasture.
"After that, every once in a while, when the life in the Jiyue Region grew up, the Crimson Moon would come and devour all life. Mortals and cultivators alike were all food.
"Especially cultivators, they would be devoured according to their cultivation level. Every time, they would be the first to be eaten. The existence of the curse also made all life in the Jiyue Region unable to leave the Jiyue Region for the rest of their lives. Once they violated it, they would die instantly.
"That's why the cultivators of the Sacrificial Moon Region are in so much pain and conflict. The end of cultivation is death, but they live in such a harsh environment. If they don't cultivate, they won't be able to live for long. It's a dead knot."
The captain's tone was low as he took a bite of the peach.
"After all, there was no real sun in the Jiyue Region. There were only artificial light sources and the occasional heavenly fire that lit up the entire region. However, it caused great harm.
"Especially when Red Mother's family members were there to graze for her. Therefore, the upper echelons of many races called the Crimson Moon Spiritual Boundary."
Xu Qing was silent. Combined with the information he had found, he could imagine the misery in the Jiyue Region. At the same time, the various races living there would definitely display their evil nature to the extreme.
"Purgatory of the world," Xu Qing muttered.
He instinctively took a bite of the peach in his hand. The captain suddenly looked up and looked at Xu Qing in surprise.
"Why do you have a peach too?"
"You gave it to me."
Xu Qing was also surprised.
The captain quickly took it away and placed an apple in Xu Qing's hand.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain and took a bite of the apple. He thought of the heavenly fire and asked about it.
"Heavenly fire?
I didn't pay attention to that place, but there are some scattered information. "The captain thought for a while and organized his thoughts.
"It is said that the core of the Sea of Fire, the crack in the sky, has existed since ancient times. It was not big at first, but as time passed, it became bigger and bigger.
"Very few people know what is inside the crack. Many races have explored it over the years, but it seems to be to no avail. They only know that it seems to be a boundless world of fire, and entering it means death."
"Junior brother, are you planning to go to the Sea of Heavenly Fire?" The captain asked curiously.
Xu Qing nodded.
"That's good. According to my prediction, the Crimson Moon will arrive soon, but it won't be so soon. I still have some arrangements to complete in the Jiyue Region."
"Only then can we be more confident when the Crimson Moon arrives, so you have plenty of time. How about this, we will leave quietly in the next few days. You do your thing, and I will take our weapons to complete the other arrangements."
"Then, we will meet up at the Endless Celestial Bull Mountain, right here."
As the captain spoke, he took out a map of the Jiyue Region and pointed at an area.
"How about it, Little Ah Qing? Do you want to do it?"
Xu Qing's breathing quickened slightly. After a while, he nodded.
"Let's go first. As for whether we will take action in the end, we will decide based on the situation."
Xu Qing looked at the captain. "Also, Senior brother, you haven't told me if you have done something similar in the past."
The captain coughed and raised his finger, which had fallen on the map, and pointed at the original spot.
"Think carefully about the name of this mountain."
"Endless Celestial Bull Mountain?" Xu Qing's expression was strange.
Endless meant that there was no end. Celestial Bull …
The captain looked smug.
"That is the mountain I named. I didn't expect that it would really spread in the future. Little Ah Qing, in that mountain, your senior brother's corpse is buried."
"At that time, I was unlucky and failed to devour a god. It was all because my teammates were too unreliable. Although I escaped, I didn't live for long.
The reason why I said to meet up there is because I want to bring you to rob a tomb first. "
Xu Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Rob your own tomb?"
The captain was enraptured.
"This kind of thing is exciting just thinking about it. Moreover, this is also one of the preparations of the Swallowing Red Mother."
Just like that, the captain discussed some details with Xu Qing. The two confirmed that they would depart three days later. As for how to leave, they also had a consensus.
Xu Qing's identity was more special. If he left Fenghai County, there might be some hidden dangers. Therefore, the best way was to not let anyone know about his departure.
Therefore, Xu Qing only told his master and Zixuan. The two did not agree at first, but in the end, they acquiesced and gave Xu Qing some protective items.
After that, Xu Qing announced to the public that he would go into seclusion.
Before going into seclusion, he also went to Zhang San's place. Zhang San had also moved to the county capital with the Seven Blood Pupils. During this period, he had been making spirit wheels for Xu Qing, and now it was completed.
After Xu Qing took it, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Everything in the county capital was as usual. There were no changes. The construction of Qing Xuan Sect had also been completed. Under the leadership of Zixuan, everything was in order and began to develop.
As for Fenghai County, after everything had come to a halt, it slowly recuperated and entered a period of stability.
With Seventh Master and Marquis Yao in charge, especially Marquis Yao's performance as a Fourth Level Void Returning Realm, all the tribes in Fenghai County restrained their sharpness and thoughts.
At this moment, at the western border of the Grand Holy Wave Domain, a group of mortal carriages was moving forward on the official road.
This was a group of escorts from the Grand Holy Wave Tribe. While they were escorting, they also took on some private tasks. On the way, they escorted some traveling merchants to several small countries near the Qiyin River.
At this moment, in the long group of carriages, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth with a face full of freckles was sitting pitifully in a carriage. Like a coachman, he held the reins of the horse in his hand. From time to time, he swayed weakly a few times and shouted a few times.
It was Ning Yan.
Next to him stood a young man with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and was looking at the world in the distance with a proud expression.
Sunlight shone on his body, as if adding a halo to his body. Vaguely, there was a touch of holiness.
"Lord Ferry of the Red Dust is here. The heavens welcome the earth with gongs and drums!"
When Ning Yan heard this sentence, he was annoyed. Why did his shouting sound like gongs and drums? He was annoyed by the person beside him who kept reciting poems along the way.
Hence, he glanced sideways and muttered.
"What serious illness!?"
When Wu Jianwu heard this, he glared at him with disdain and said lightly.
"The wind blows past my ear and the chickens and ducks cry. Looking closely, it's a child!"
Ning Yan glared.
Wu Jianwu was proud.
At this moment, the captain's enthusiastic voice came from the carriage.
"This poem is not bad. It has the charm of the ancient emperor. As expected of the Seven Blood Eyes Peak's prodigy that I invited, the strongest successor of the Ancient Emperor Xuan You. Another one!"
Wu Jianwu was excited and proud. Ning Yan curled his lips and lowered his head without saying a word. He whipped the reins in his hand to vent.
In the carriage, Xu Qing looked outside. Xu Qing had expected the captain to bring Ning Yan out, but he was puzzled by Wu Jianwu's appearance.
At this moment, Ling 'er came out from the collar and hung on Xu Qing's ear as she looked at the captain.
The captain winked at Ling 'er and said softly to Xu Qing.
"That fool, let's coax him first. He's very useful in my plan!"
After that, the captain announced to the outside.
"From now on, we're the Moon Robbers. Brothers, do your best!"
