As he spoke, it was clear that the captain had used some unknown method to sense Xu Qing's condition, which was why the door to Xu Qing's secret room had opened without a sound!
The captain walked in with a smug expression and waved his right hand. "How is it, Ah Qing? Isn't my method of opening a secret room through a restriction array very magical?"
"Let me tell you, this is a good move. After I came to the imperial capital, I met a good friend and she taught me!"
Xu Qing raised his head to look at the captain, then at the door to the secret room, a strange feeling rising in his heart. It had to be known that in addition to the restrictions on the secret room, he had also added a few Heavenly Flames to it. Although it couldn't be said to be perfect, it was still extremely difficult to open it so easily and silently!
But the captain had opened it so easily!
"What kind of technique is this?" Xu Qing couldn't help but ask.
This sentence made the captain feel incomparably proud and comfortable!
"After your Eldest Senior Brother came to the imperial capital, I went out every day. Not only did I go out to scout, but I also changed my identity and made many friends, especially this very mysterious person.
"But you also know my personality. I'm not the kind of person that just anyone can come to know. I rejected her, and she was anxious, so in order to make friends with me, she taught me this move!
"Let's not talk about this. You're done cultivating, right? Come with me!" As he spoke, the captain pulled Xu Qing's arm with an expectant expression.
Xu Qing was helpless. In this world, there were only a few people he couldn't refuse, and his Eldest Senior Brother was one of them!
"What do you want to do now?" Xu Qing stood up and looked at the sky outside!
"Come with me to the Star Emperor Extreme Sect to steal something," the captain said in a low voice as he pulled Xu Qing to the outside world!
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and refused. He didn't want to court death!
Seeing this, the captain coughed.
"It's a branch sect, not the main sect. It's fine. The strongest person there is only at the Origin Returning Realm. As long as we don't attract the attention of the main sect, it's fine to be discreet!"
Xu Qing thought for a moment before agreeing. The wind whistled between heaven and earth, and the lake outside Ning Yan's mansion rippled as Xu Qing and the captain's figures swept across it.
"I made an appointment with that mysterious friend of mine to go to the forbidden area of the Star Emperor Extreme Sect's sub-sect tonight to retrieve something," the captain said to Xu Qing telepathically as he sped along. At the same time, he took out a mask and tossed it to Xu Qing.
"Put it on. This is something I found in the old man's treasure room before we came to the Imperial City. It can conceal our identities. If you restrain your aura, no one will be able to see our true faces for a short period of time!"
"After all, Ling Wan, I don't know where that friend of mine came from. There's a high chance that she's using me to hide her identity, and she might have other motives. However, I do need to go to the forbidden area of the Star Emperor Polarity Sect. There's something I want there, and it's related to what's to come!"
"But I'm still worried. I'm sure that she hasn't guessed my real identity, so I asked Little Ah Qing to come with me. You can be my lookout outside. If she has any ill intentions towards me, we'll kill her."
"Also, after I go in with her, if she comes out alone, help me stop her. I'm worried that she'll betray me after she leaves!" The captain's eyes were cold.
Xu Qing nodded and put the mask on his face. The material of this mask was very special, and there was no discomfort when it was on his face.
Touching the mask on his face, Xu Qing sped up. As for helping the captain, it was not the first time he had done this.
At this moment, as he followed the captain, he was honing the Other Immortal Style cultivation technique in his heart. At the same time, he was trying to weave various threads in his mind!
"In theory, with my current Divine Origin Soul Threads, I can weave a second form. However, my control over the Other Immortal Style soul threads has not reached a fine level. It will take some time to weave it, and it's difficult to form it quickly. I need to practice again and again before I can control it perfectly and reveal it instantly!"
"However, the first form is much simpler. As long as I have enough soul threads, I can make it appear instantly!"
"And the form can be changed at any time …"
"This is very suitable for me to hide my identity when I'm doing something in the Imperial City!"
Xu Qing thought as he weaved the threads in his sea of consciousness. His aura changed as well. The captain beside him immediately noticed and looked at him in surprise. However, he had something important on his mind, so he did not ask immediately!
Just like that, the two of them took advantage of the night to conceal their tracks and flew forward. After two hours, they finally arrived in the northwest direction of the Imperial City!
This place was far away from the city, and it was a mountain range. In the dark sky, the place was covered in snow, and it was hazy!
However, there was a mountain peak among the mountains that seemed to be able to absorb the starlight. Its radiance was especially bright, and the surrounding snowflakes were also refracted into seven colors!
This was one of the branches of the Star Emperor Extreme Sect. There must be another world inside, and there was a separate space.
And this was where the entrance to it was located.
"We're here!"
The captain looked at the radiant mountain in the distance. In a flash, he came to a mountain that was shaped like a cockscomb. He squatted there and licked his lips before turning to look at Xu Qing behind him.
Xu Qing had his eyes closed and was weaving in his sea of consciousness!
The aura emitted from his body was constantly changing, and it was completely different!
Feeling the change in Xu Qing's aura again, the captain could not help but ask!
"Little Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?
I asked you to restrain your aura, not to change it like this. How did your aura change so much?
Especially when you're wearing a mask now, it's a little strange … "
"I learned a new cultivation technique." Xu Qing opened his eyes and did not explain too much.
The captain was curious and was about to continue asking, but at this moment, a soft cry came from afar. The captain and Xu Qing looked up at the sky at the same time!
A graceful but ordinary-looking woman in a black robe walked over in the wind and snow, appearing in front of Xu Qing and the captain. Her gaze swept across Xu Qing before finally looking at the captain.
"Chen Daqing, this is?"
Hearing the other party's address, Xu Qing glanced at the captain and knew that Chen Daqing was the captain's alias.
"This is my brother, Er Gou. He's worried about me, so he came to accompany me."
The captain blinked and said calmly!
The woman did not comment. She only glanced at Xu Qing before looking back at the Star Emperor Extreme Sect!
"Then, according to our agreement, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go." The captain took a deep breath, gave Xu Qing a look, and flew out!
The woman also stepped forward and approached the radiant mountain with the captain behind her.
Xu Qing stared, and soon he saw the two approaching the mountain. Suddenly, their blurry figures disappeared at the same time!
Xu Qing was not surprised by this scene!
The captain had many methods, and for him to say that this person was mysterious, they were obviously not ordinary people.
In addition, since they dared to target the Star Emperor Extreme Sect, they must be confident!
But when he thought of the captain's death-seeking personality, Xu Qing hesitated. His body flickered, and he left this place to wait on another mountain!
Time slowly passed, and the Star Emperor Extreme Cave's sub-sect was silent. There were no changes.
Two hours later, the space outside the radiant mountain suddenly distorted, and the woman's figure appeared. After she walked out, she did not hesitate to leave.
But in the next instant, the woman stopped. Xu Qing's figure appeared in front of her and blocked her path!
Xu Qing calmly said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to leave in a hurry. It's safest to leave together with Daqing after she comes out!"
The woman frowned. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Xu Qing and spoke indifferently.
"Scram."
As she spoke, a dangerous aura spread out from her body. The space in front of her instantly froze and shattered like a mirror around Xu Qing.
She continued to move forward without any hesitation, but in the next instant, her eyes flashed and she appeared before Xu Qing once again.
The space was still calm!
"Stop!"
The woman's pupils shrank, and she looked at Xu Qing with a serious expression. Then, she suddenly raised her right hand and pressed forward. The surrounding snow immediately trembled and changed into ice needles that closed in on Xu Qing.
Her body left afterimages as she charged at Xu Qing. Xu Qing expressionlessly waved his left hand, and a black flame suddenly spread out from his body. His body flickered as he also charged at the woman!
The two of them instantly clashed, exchanging blows and using spells. In just a few breaths of time, they had exchanged more than 100 blows!
Both of them restrained themselves from making any noise or causing too much commotion. After a few breaths of time, it was the woman's turn to become anxious and impatient!
"Chen Daqing won't see me after he enters. It's unreasonable for you to stop me. If you don't scram … I'll kill you!"
"You can only leave after he comes out!" Xu Qing said indifferently.
"You're courting death."
A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes. Her right hand suddenly formed a seal, and a crack appeared between her eyebrows. A white needle rushed out from within, gracefully breaking through the void and appearing in front of Xu Qing!
The aura it exuded was different from that of a cultivator, and it was also different from the pressure of a god. It was neither a cultivator nor a god, but its degree of dominance was even more shocking!
It was as if the essence of this aura was that it was the only one in the world!
Xu Qing's roar shrank for the first time. He felt a sense of danger. Without any hesitation, the 310,000 soul strands in his sea of consciousness burst out and formed a ferocious figure outside his body!
This figure was a beetle, and its entire body exuded a strong divine fluctuation, giving off the feeling of a god. It was the Earth Child in the image of the Other Immortal Sect's enlightenment. However, the highest cultivation level of a divine creature like the Earth Child was only at the Spirit Treasury level.
But now, this one's cultivation level was actually at the Spirit Treasury level, which was created by Xu Qing's soul strands.
After it appeared, more than 300,000 soul strands surged out and were about to collide with the strange needle!
When the woman saw this, her expression changed drastically. She retreated and quickly shouted!
"Stop."
"Fellow Daoist Buttface, if this continues, it'll be disadvantageous for both of us. The special restriction I set up around us will also show flaws and be discovered. Let's stop fighting. I'll stay and wait."
As she spoke, she was frightened and raised her hand to call back the white needle. Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. At this moment, the Earth Child disappeared and the soul strands were hidden!
Although it was the same as before, if the other party still wanted to fight, he could instantly form it again!
The wind and snow continued, and the mountain was somewhat quiet as the two stopped fighting. After more than ten breaths, the woman looked at Xu Qing and took a deep breath. She spoke with some uncertainty!
"Fellow Daoist Buttface, did you just use the Other Immortal Sect's technique?"
"Isn't these hundreds of thousands of soul strands too scary?"
"There's actually someone in the world who can cultivate the Other Immortal Sect to such an unprecedented level. You … who are you?
