Zi Xuan had also returned and was smiling from afar.

Even the captain was there. His hand was around Wu Jianwus neck and was saying something. When he noticed Xu Qing, he grinned.

Their cheers were because Xu Qings ident.i.ty as a member of the Variant Immortal School had been revealed, because he had won the Dao discussion, because Xu Qing had killed the Seventh Prince, and also because of Bai Xiaozhuos death!

To all the Fenghai County cultivators, the Seventh Prince and Bai Xiaozhuo were huge enemies!

Hearing the cheers and looking at the familiar crowd in front of him, Xu Qing was in a daze. So much had happened in the past day and night that he only now realized that it had only been one night since yesterdays Dao discussion.

The experiences in the Summer Immortal Palace and within the ancient temple filled with the aura of time and history seemed to distort Xu Qings perception of time, giving him a vague sense of its pa.s.sage.

However, he quickly suppressed this feeling. A smile appeared on his face as he bowed slightly to the cheering crowd.

Kong Xianglong was the first to rush out of the crowd. His eyes were red as he arrived in front of Xu Qing. Just as he was about to bow, Xu Qing stepped forward and hugged him.

Kong Xianglongs body paused for a moment before he hugged Xu Qing as well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Li Yunshans emotions were also churning. He walked out and bowed deeply to Xu Qing.

Thank you, Lord Xu, for killing that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Bai, killing the Seventh Prince, and avenging the blood feud of Fenghai. If the late Palace Master knows about this in the netherworld, he would definitely be able to rest in peace!

All the Sword Holders bowed in unison.

Ning Yan, who was among them, bowed even more deeply. Although the degree of his excitement was different from the others, it had also reached the extreme. The death of the Seventh Prince and the display of Xu Qings might filled him with pride, stirring up a sense of valor in his heart.

On this joyful morning for the cultivators of Fenghai County, Xu Qing reciprocated the gesture and made his way towards Zi Xuan.

In the sunlight, Zi Xuans figure appeared graceful and elegant, her face resembling a lotus flower, her eyes holding the clarity of autumn water, and her lips akin to a touch of vermilion. Serene as a delicate flower reflected in water, she wore a purple dress, moving gracefully like a fairy descending to earth or a blooming violet.

Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains adorned with dark clouds, while her eyes were like rippling autumn water.

Where did you go last night? How did you end up with a hint of the dust of time on you and a scent of pollen lingering around you?

Zi Xuans beautiful eyes swept past Xu Qing with a spurious smile.

Just as Xu Qing was about to speak, the captain not far away blinked and hurriedly shouted.

Junior Brother, come quickly. I have something important to tell you. Its a huge matter!

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward. Before Xu Qing could speak, he grabbed Xu Qings arm and pulled him away. At the same time, he quickly spoke to Zi Xuan.

Sister-in-law, you two have plenty of time to catch up later. Ive come back after a long absence, so let me discuss important matters with Little Qing first.

As he spoke, he hurriedly left with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing felt somewhat helpless as the captain pulled his arm, leading him away until they reached a secluded chamber. With a gesture, the captain sealed off the surroundings, then turned to Xu Qing with a look of seeking recognition.

How is it, Little Qing? Your Eldest Senior Brothers reaction is fast, right? Let me tell you, as soon as you returned, I could smell the fragrance of pollen on your body from afar.

Youre still too young, inexperienced. Remember, if youre going to sneak around next time, make sure to clean up afterward!

Senior Brother helped you this time, but I cant make it in time every time, right?

Xu Qing was speechless. He looked at the smug captain and asked.

Where have you been all this time?

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the captain, sitting nearby with his legs crossed, raised his hand and took out a peach, then tossed an apple to Xu Qing. Eating one and speaking with an air of pride, he said.

To do something big, of course.

Let me tell you, Little Qing, although youve made a name for yourself now, its only in the Imperial Capital. When my big plan succeeds, then itll really blow your mind.

Xu Qing was too familiar with this scene and knew what the captain wanted. Hence, after talcing the apple, he put on a curious expression.

What big plan?

The captain perked up, leaning forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice.

During this period of time, I was in the Star Emperor Branch Sect, the place where I went to steal things previously. At that time, I didnt manage to steal anything but I wasnt convinced, so I thought of a way to join this sect.

Now, Ive successfully become an outer sect disciple and the a.s.sessment is about to begin. Im confident that Ill succeed in the a.s.sessment. Once I succeed, Ill be an inner sect disciple!

When the time comes, Ill make a move and get close to my target!

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing couldnt help but feel a genuine curiosity stirring in his heart. After all, whatever could make the captain ponder over it so much must be far from ordinary.

Senior Brother, what exactly are you trying to steal?

The Wordless Stone Scripture!

The captains eyes lit up with deep desire.

That mysterious chick back then also stole this item. You might think she succeeded, but that chick is a little silly. What she stole was just an empty sh.e.l.l, a broken stone.

What I want is the words inside!

Wordless Stone Scripture? Xu Qing glanced at the captain.

Thats right, the Wordless Stone Scripture. The captain smiled faintly.

Xu Qing fell silent and nodded.

Why dont you ask me why the Wordless Stone Scripture has words? The captain asked, expectantly.

Xu Qing already had the answer. However, seeing the captain like this, he still chose to satisfy his expectations. Hence, he followed his intentions and asked.

The captain perked up and laughed, speaking mysteriously.

The Wordless Stone Scripture has four words. The silly girl stole the sh.e.l.l, but she doesnt know that those four words have become sentient long ago and escaped. Theyre now hiding in a jade slip somewhere in the upper level of the Scripture Transmission Pavilion. As long as I become an inner sect disciple, I can visit the upper level of the pavilion and find them!

These four words are related to the Divine Realms. Regardless of which Divine Realm, they all have a certain function. Moreover, Ive heard that the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race is planning a hunt in a Divine Realm soon!

Xu Qings eyes narrowed.

The captain looked even more smug.

Hows that? Impressive, right? Otherwise, why would I spend so much energy and time, even risking my life to infiltrate the Star Emperor Sect? For this, Ive put in a lot of effort.

But its okay, all the effort is worth it. In a month, it will be the a.s.sessment, and Ill definitely be promoted to the inner sect. Then, well pay a visit to the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. When they open the Divine Realm for hunting, well sneak in!

The captains gaze was firm and incomparably persistent.

Hunting in the Divine Realm?

Xu Qings heart trembled. He had a deeper understanding of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. However, the notion of hunting in the Divine Realm clearly held many details yet to be revealed.

Ill tell you in detail after I get it. As the captain spoke, he finished the peach in his mouth and stood up to pat his b.u.t.t.

Alright, Ill leave now. Im just letting you know in advance this time. You should also prepare yourself. Next wish me luck for success.

The captain took a deep breath and was about to leave.

Xu Qing hesitated and asked.

Is it that difficult to get the jade slip from the Scripture Transmission Pavilion?

When the captain heard this, he was unhappy.

Little Qing, youre dreaming. Thats the Star Emperor Supreme Sect. Although its a branch sect, the Scripture Transmission Pavilion is the core of this sect. There are old monsters there, guarding the building. Outsiders arent allowed to enter. Otherwise, I would have stolen it long ago and wouldnt have to go through so much trouble.

Xu Qing fell silent. He thought of Chen Daoze. Hence, he took out a voice transmission jade slip and transmitted a message

The captain was curious.

What are you doing?

Eldest Senior Brother, wait a while. Ill see if I can help you complete your plan ahead of time.

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The captain was stunned..
