Xu Qing didn’t want to appear.
Although the token the clay fox had given him continued to vibrate and heat up, Xu Qing chose to ignore it and strengthen his concealment.
He had no obligation or necessity to get involved with unrelated individuals.
As for the divine envoy that the other party mentioned, Xu Qing was already used to it.
Ever since he pretended to be a divine envoy for the first time in the Holy Wave Large Region, he seemed to have an inexplicable connection with the identity of an envoy. It was the same in the Moon Offering Region. Now that he was in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Xu Qing wasn’t surprised by the same situation happening.
After all, he was indeed holding the token given by the clay fox.
However, he was still a little tempted by the two forbidden mountains above the head of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race cultivator who emitted a scorching aura.
Hence, his original plan was to wait for these two people’s battle to end before he took action and took away the forbidden mountains.
However, all of these thoughts were forcefully changed by the finger of the Flame Moon dignitary in the palace.
As this finger landed, Xu Qing and the captain’s cover were silently erased.
The captain’s body returned to human form from the worm state. He squatted on a tree branch and muttered inwardly.
As for Xu Qing, his body had also become corporeal from its invisible state. He stood under the tree with a calm expression but in reality, waves were echoing in his heart.
The feeling of being forcefully dragged out made him even more vigilant.
Their appearance also caused the hearts of the two Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivators who were about to fight to tremble.
As the disadvantaged party, Qiu Quezi’s reaction speed was naturally even faster. After seeing Xu Qing and the captain, his breathing became hurried and he immediately bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Divine Envoy!”
At this moment, regardless of whether the person in front of him was a human or a member of his race, it wasn’t important. What was important was the other party’s identity. He had already confirmed this through his perception.
To him, this identity could save his life.
This was the main point.
As he bowed respectfully, the expression of the cultivator who was chasing also changed. However, they were from different temples, so he couldn’t sense it accurately like Qiu Quezi, especially since Xu Qing had deliberately strengthened the concealment.
Additionally, Xu Qing and the captain’s identity as humans caused this Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator to feel intense doubt.
He had never seen or heard of a human divine envoy of the Star Flame Temple. To the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, the vast majority of races in the Wanggu Continent were inferior races.
This included the human race.
If a lower race really became the divine envoy, it would definitely attract attention.
Also, the three forbidden mountains above Xu Qing’s head also proved some things indirectly. If they were really divine envoys, why would they participate in the Grand Hunt?
However, he wasn’t willing to gamble.
No matter what, the word ‘divine envoy’ still caused fear to rise in his heart. Hence, he retreated a little and stared at Xu Qing, his gaze flickering.
He wanted to give up on killing Qiu Quezi but was unwilling.
He wanted to attack, but wasn’t sure.
This scene fell into the captain’s eyes. He felt that it was very interesting. Among the two people from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, one bowed and the other hesitated.
And there’s someone watching the show from the sky…’
The captain lifted his head and glanced at the palace in the air.
Xu Qing was also annoyed. He didn’t bother with Qiu Quezi who was greeting him. Instead, he looked at the hesitating cultivator and coldly spoke.
“Leave your forbidden mountains behind and leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven cultivator. He could tell that Xu Qing’s cultivation level was only at the Spirit Repository. It was the same for the person beside him.
Although such a cultivation was comparable to him, as a Flame Moon cultivator, very few people in the same realm could match him, especially the human race. Back then, when he was training in another region, he had also gone to the human race’s territory and killed many so-called heaven’s chosen there, even refining them.
This experience made him understand that most human cultivators were weak.
Hence, from the bottom of his heart, he was disdainful.
However, due to his doubts about the identity of the person, he was hesitating. Hence, he suppressed his killing intent and lifted his head. He looked at the golden palace hanging high in the sky and bowed.
“Lord, the divine envoy is demanding the forbidden mountains, and this is a violation of the rules, please make a decision.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiu Quezi’s heart skipped a beat. He had naturally seen what the other party had seen, and this question was like getting to the heart of the matter, very precise.
The rules of the Grand Hunt were that those without qualifications couldn’t interfere.
Of course, there were still some loopholes, but they were limited.
In the golden palace in the sky, a smile appeared on the lips of the Flame Moon dignitary. His voice carried some dignity as it echoed in the ears of Xu Qing and the others.
“This person isn’t a divine envoy…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the killing intent in the eyes of the Flame Moon cultivator, who was emitting heat from his entire body, intensified. His entire person was like an erupting volcano as he instantly approached Xu Qing.
Since the identity that he was afraid of had been proven to not exist, he wanted the forbidden mountains of the person in front of him.
However, most of the time, things didn’t develop according to what people thought.
This Flame Moon cultivator rushed over confidently and aggressively. The instant he got close, Xu Qing disappeared in front of him. The Flame Moon cultivator only saw a cold glint flashing in the latter’s eyes.
At the next instant, his head flew up. His body that had lost its head continued to move forward due to the momentum.
At the next instant, countless red threads erupted from the void, enveloping his body, covering his head, dyeing his world red.
After that, there was an indescribable pain of devouring the soul and the color of the world rapidly turning black.
Everything happened and ended in an instant.
He was reduced to ashes.
“…But you can’t beat him.” In the air, the dignified voice from the golden palace slowly rang out, finishing what he hadn’t finished saying earlier.
Xu Qing’s figure appeared again at this moment. He expressionlessly lifted his hand. The forbidden mountains of the Flame Moon cultivator whose soul he had devoured floated toward Xu Qing and circled above his head.
In addition to his original three, five forbidden mountains circled his head like a crown, causing Qiu Quezi’s heart to rumble and his breathing to become hurried.
The scene in front of him subverted his understanding.
He knew that the old enemy who was chasing after him could be considered an outstanding figure among his peers. He was ruthless and had many methods. However, he was actually killed in an instant by this human in front of him.
This impact caused him to be in a daze. It was only when Xu Qing turned his head and glanced over that Qiu Quezi came back to his senses. He immediately lowered his head and revealed a respectful expression.
However, the trembling in his heart grew increasingly intense because he could sense Xu Qing’s gaze.
Xu Qing took a closer look at Qiu Quezi. After confirming that this cultivator indeed didn’t have a forbidden mountain, he retracted his gaze and walked into the distance.
The captain leaped down. When he passed by Qiu Quezi, he smiled.
“Your luck isn’t bad.”
With that, he caught up to Xu Qing and left as well.
Looking at Xu Qing and Xu Qing’s backs, an unreal feeling rose in Qiu Quezi’s heart. When he saw that the other party’s figure was about to disappear, his breathing hastened slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and spoke loudly.
“Thank you for saving me, Fellow Daoists. I have two things to tell you about the human race.”
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Qiu Quezi in the distance.
Noticing that Xu Qing had stopped, Qiu Quezi quickly arrived and stopped 100 feet away as he respectfully spoke.
“Fellow Daoist, there are a total of 27 forbidden mountains in this forbidden zone.”
“However, not all of the forbidden mountains can be fought over. There are only ten that can be fought over.”
“The remaining 17… have been internally decided.”
At this point, Qiu Quezi looked up at the golden palace in the sky.
“These 17 predetermined forbidden mountains have been allocated to some races and the outstanding heaven’s chosen of my race. As long as they come, they can take them away. No one will dare to fight with them.”
Xu Qing didn’t say anything and waited for the Flame Moon cultivator to continue. This was because these words had nothing to do with the human race. The other party clearly wasn’t talking about the unspoken rules in the forbidden mountain.
“And?” the captain asked.
“I know that among the 17 forbidden mountains, one has been internally decided to be given to the Eldest Prince of the human race!”
Qiu Quezi spoke in a low voice.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.
The captain also revealed an interested expression.
“The Eldest Prince of the human race came to my Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, seeking help to resolve the crisis of the human race, but he faced rejection everywhere. In the end, he chose to participate in the Grand Hunt.”
“Many races have heard of this matter. I personally admire this Eldest Prince of your human race very much. He probably wants to become a Mystic Heaven General and propose conditions to the Great Priests to resolve the crisis of the human race.”
“Flame Moon also provided some convenience to him, which led to the arrangement of the designated forbidden mountain.”
Xu Qing naturally couldn’t compare to Qiu Quezi in terms of obtaining information about the Flame Moon.
“What happened next?” The captain continued to ask.
“But the Eldest Prince of your human race won’t be able to arrive.”
Qiu Quezi hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
“I also found out a few days ago that the Eldest Prince of your human race met the heir of King Mingnan on the way to this forbidden mountain.”
“King Mingnan is the king of the Heavenly Cloud Great Priest’s Tent under the
Sun Flame God.”
“His heir’s talent is astonishing and his combat strength suppresses his peers.
He’s one of the great heaven’s chosen of our Flame Moon, and has high reputation.”
“Someone saw that the Eldest Prince of the human race along with some humans were captured and given to Prince Mingnan… to pull his carriage.”
Qiu Quezi glanced at Xu Qing and lowered his head as he spoke.
“Therefore, the forbidden mountain that was set for the Eldest Prince no longer has an owner.”
Xu Qing fell silent and lifted his head to look at the distant world. The captain’s expression also darkened.
A long time later, Xu Qing slowly spoke.
“Then what’s the situation of that forbidden mountain?”
Qiu Quezi took a deep breath and respectfully replied.
“The rule for obtaining these forbidden mountains is that they can only be lifted after ten days. Right now, it has only been seven days since the forbidden zone was opened, so it is still there. However, because of the news that it has no owner, it has been occupied by other participants.”
“Lead the way.”
A cold glint rose in Xu Qing’s eyes..
