Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The world seed to be silent.
After the battle between Xu Qing and Prince Mingnan, the sky seed to be riddled with holes.
The starlight outside scattered wantonly along the incomplete parts, as though it had draped a gauze of the starry sky over this area, giving it a sense of mystery.
The deep pits and large-scale depressions in the magma on the ground also gradually recovered. After they were filled, the temperature began to rise.
With the end of this battle, everything beca peaceful.
Only the captain’s voice echoed slightly.
It was rare for him to say such formal words.
After saying that, the captain stood there with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
The wind blew down from the clouds, lifting the captain’s long hair and sleeves. A few strands of it fluttered in front of his eyes. Through the gaps in the hair, one could see so reminiscence and emotion in the captain’s eyes.
It was as though he had a special experience that ordinary people didn’t have. Hence, at this mont, he was like a lonely commander standing at the center of the battlefield.
When everyone in the human race saw this scene, they all felt sothing.
So of them had heard of Erniu.
After all, just like Xu Qing’s 100,000 feet of light in the Heart Inquisition was a record, the captain’s ten feet of light was also unprecedented. To so extent, it also represented a certain level of experience.
But now, as Erniu’s words echoed, these people’s impression of him changed drastically.
Even the Eldest Prince took a few more glances at Erniu. He then cupped his hands and bowed.
The captain raised his eyebrows slightly, but his expression remained the sa.
It was very difficult for others to notice but Xu Qing could tell that the captain was posing again with just a glance.
However, he naturally wouldn’t expose him. With a wave of his hand, a forbidden mountain descended from above and headed straight for the Eldest Prince.
That was the mountain reserved for the Eldest Prince in the forbidden zone previously. Now, it had returned to its rightful owner.
“See you at the Divine Mountain.”
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
Xu Qing didn’t have much interaction with the Eldest Prince previously but he knew that the Eldest Prince was also a participant in the Grand Hunt.
According to the rules of the Grand Hunt, if one didn’t fight for first place, then having a forbidden mountain could be considered to have t the basic requirents.
As for whether the Eldest Prince could preserve it till the end, it wasn’t sothing Xu Qing could interfere with.
After sending out a forbidden mountain, Xu Qing walked toward the horizon. The captain continued to maintain his sighing expression and walked side by side with Xu Qing.
The two of them flickered in the sky.
On the ground, all the humans were staring. Just as Xu Qing and the captain were about to disappear from their sight, the Eldest Prince suddenly spoke.
“Lord Xu.”
The first prince cupped his fists and bowed!
“I wish you success!”
He could already tell that Xu Qing’s target was the Mystic Heaven General!
Otherwise, there was no need for so many forbidden mountains.
All the humans beside him lowered their heads and bowed toward the sky with sincerity.
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the ground. After a while, he returned the greeting.
After that, he took a step into the distance and disappeared with the captain.
As for the bone dragon carriage, it was also kept by Xu Qing.
After a long ti, the Eldest Prince and the human cultivators each took a deep breath. After looking at each other, all their gazes gathered on the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince looked at the place where Xu Qing had disappeared and spoke in a low voice.
“Our next goal isn’t to exchange for peace but to think of a way to obtain enough information for Lord Xu. We’ll do our best to prepare for Lord Xu to fight for the Mystic Heaven General!”
With that, the Eldest Prince began to make arrangents. As he made the arrangents, the group of people dispersed and gathered information according to the Eldest Prince’s request.
Just like that, three days slowly passed.
In these three days, the news of Prince Mingnan’s death gradually spread.
At the start, it was just a rumor. Most of the people who heard it didn’t believe it. There were even people who scoffed and thought that it was nonsense.
In their judgnt, there weren’t many people with the ability and guts to kill Prince Mingnan with his background and combat strength.
He was the only son of King Mingnan.
However, as the news continued to spread, the doubts slowly decreased and the shock gradually increased. In addition, Prince Mingnan never appeared. In the end, the news of his death beca a hot topic and was noticed by many cultivators of the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven Race.
After all, as an influential figure in the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Prince Mingnan’s every move was paid attention to. His sudden disappearance… the answer revealed by this caused waves in the hearts of everyone.
Hence, many cultivators ca to the location of the battle between Prince Mingnan and Xu Qing these few days. They each investigated and guessed the truth from a series of clues.
This truth transford into a storm that swept through the entire race at an extrely fast speed.
“Prince Mingnan… suspected to be dead!”
“The person who killed Prince Mingnan is a human!”
“Soone has already recognized the identity of that human. This person… is called Xu Qing!”
Countless pieces of information were unearthed in a short period of ti. Even Xu Qing’s past was found out.
It was just that… as they learned more, an even greater storm began to erupt.
Xu Qing’s past was sothing that even the cultivators of the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven Race were shocked by.
“The lord of Fenghai County!”
“In the Moon Offering Region, participated in the slaughter of the god!”
“Is honored as a god in the Black Spirit Region!”
“Killed a prince in the human capital! Carries the Great Emperor’s sword!”
“His single word can decide the prosperity and decline of an entire region!”
“It’s said that this person possesses the art of a half-god. His poison art is astonishing and he even has the authority of the Purple Moon!”
“Not only does he have Soul Accumulation Dao Protectors behind him, but he also has the blessing of a god!”
“Also… this Xu Qing seems to be the divine envoy of the Star Fla Temple!”
Each information was more sensational than the other. As the news spread, Xu Qing’s reputation rose in the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven Race.
In addition, he had killed a lot in the Grand Hunt, so almost all the participants in the Grand Hunt knew of his existence.
Before he arrived at the Divine Mountain, his na was already known by everyone.
There was another important point here, and that was the number of forbidden mountains Xu Qing had. As he walked toward the Divine Mountain, he began to attract the attention of passersby.
He had too many forbidden mountains.
Coupled with Xu Qing’s reputation, wherever he passed, he seed to possess a piercing power that attracted all gazes like Prince Mingnan.
Among them, so were indifferent, so were hostile, so were unconvinced, and so were indignant.
After all, a human had obtained so many forbidden mountains in their Grand Hunt and suppressed almost all of their participants. This matter made them feel like they were inferior.
It would have been fine if the human race was strong, but the current human race was weak.
Hence, this feeling turned into humiliation in the hearts of many of the Fla
Moon Race.
The hostility grew increasingly intense.
More and more people were paying attention.
Nurous pieces of information about Xu Qing’s whereabouts and harvest also continued to spread as ti passed.
“Xu Qing’s group has crossed the third inner region!”
“During this ti, the Baize Race stopped him but was killed. He has nearly
800 forbidden mountains!”
“Xu Qing has stepped into the second inner region!”
“He killed many more participants. His forbidden mountains have exceeded 800.”
He is getting close to the first inner region!”
“Forbidden mountains, 900!”
“He… killed his way into the first inner region. He’s less than five days away from the Divine Mountain!”
“Soone has noticed the astonishing baleful aura on Xu Qing’s body!”
Xu Qing’s every action was being watched closely.
In fact, many Fla Moon cultivators saw that Xu Qing’s aura was like a rainbow as he continued to rise. Hence, their attention landed on King Mingnan.
After all, his son’s death was very likely to cause a calamity.
However, the strange thing was that… from the start to the end, King Mingnan didn’t do anything.
However, as the news of Xu Qing approaching the Divine Mountain spread, so of the heaven’s chosen among the cultivators of the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven finally beca interested in Xu Qing.
Although Prince Mingnan was strong, he wasn’t the peak of his peers in the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven. There were more than ten people who surpassed him.
These true heaven’s chosens of Fla Moon had different personalities. So were indifferent to fa and fortune, so were arrogant and ostentatious, so kept a low profile, and so were wild in their deanor.
So pursued hollow fa, while others disdained it, focusing solely on pursuing strength.
Their attitude toward Xu Qing varied based on their personalities.
At that mont, in the Fla Moon First Inner Region, where the Divine Mountain was only half a day away, a Fla Moon cultivator in a rough hemp robe was walking on the ground.
His body was much taller than ordinary Fla Moon cultivators, reaching almost 50 feet, making him look like a giant. All the muscles on his body were bulging and his vitality was surging violently. He was extrely strong.
As he walked, he was like a small mountain, giving off an irresistible feeling.
Every step he took would cause the ground to rumble and tremble. At the sa ti, his step seed to shrink the ground, causing his speed to be astonishing.
What was even more shocking was the more than 900 forbidden mountains above his head!
All of this caused everyone who saw him to be shocked and lower their heads.
On one hand, it was his identity. On the other hand, it was his reputation.
This person was one of the five top heaven’s chosen of the Fla Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Tuoshi Shan!
Compared to the other heaven’s chosens who weren’t very interested in becoming first place in the first segnt, his goal was to be the first place here and beco a Mystic Heaven General.
This was because the family he was in was the Mystic Heaven Family.
Their family had produced six Mystic Heaven Generals!
At that mont, as his vast body strode forward, the ground seed to howl under his feet. As the world changed, his figure appeared on a mountain range. From afar, one could see a golden light flickering in the direction of the horizon.
The endless golden light caused the details to be blurry.
That was Fla Moon’s Divine Mountain, which was also the destination of the first segnt of the Grand Hunt.
“I’m finally here.”
Tuoshi Shan grinned and stood there, looking into the distance. The void around him distorted and nine figures appeared, bowing to him.
“Welco, Young Master.”
Tuoshi Shan nodded slightly and retracted his gaze.
How long is Xu Qing from here? How many forbidden mountains does he have?”
One of the nine figures beside him replied in a low voice.
“He’ll be here in six hours. He has a few more forbidden mountains than you, Your Highness.”
Tuoshi Shan licked his lips and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. He didn’t continue forward but sat on a rock and waited. He lifted his right hand and took out a wine jar, taking a big gulp.
“Good.”
“To be able to kill Prince Mingnan, he can be considered quite a character. I’ve always disliked that guy. It’s good that he was killed.”
“However, the first segnt’s first position is mine..”
