Chapter 719 - 719 But I'm His Master! (1)

719 But Im His Master! (1)

Hearing the captains words, Xu Qing couldnt help but recall that when he went to the Corpse Forbidden earlier, he saw that his masters location on the array formation seemed to be even more crucial than the ancestors.

He nodded in deep agreement.

Seeing that Xu Qing agreed with his suggestion, the captain beamed with joy and spoke in a low voice.

We cant transmit our voices to Master, and its not a good idea to use the Sword Holding Court to relay the message either

The captain blinked and his gaze swept past Xu Qing.

We can only trick Master into coming here first and talk about this face to face.

So? Xu Qing was puzzled. There was something wrong with the captains gaze.

Therefore we have to consider carefully how to make Master rush over immediately.

The captain coughed.

Junior Brother, you see, in this situation, one of us has to pretend to be on the verge of death, and it has to be convincing. Although if we say Im close to death, our master would come rus.h.i.+ng anxiously in an instant because he cares a lot about me. However I am alright even if I have just my head left, so master will probably suspect it as a deception immediately.

There isnt any secret code? Xu Qing was expressionless as he calmly spoke.

Theres no code word. Theres really no such thing!! The captain covered his face and let out a long sigh. After stealing a glance at Xu Qing, he continued to speak.

I can only trouble you, Junior Brother. For the sake of being more realistic, dont resist. Ill be gentler and try to make sure your injuries recover in seven days.

Dont worry, at most Ill break your legs, put a few more holes, shatter a hundred or so bones, and let some brain matter spill out. Weve done this many times before, I have experience.

Most importantly, when Master comes and sees your injuries, he wont think that we lied to him. After that, well naturally tell him about this. Things will definitely go smoothly. Dont worry, I used to do this often.

The captain chuckled, eager to give it a try. Every time he removed his seals, he wanted to establish the dignity of his senior brother status in front of Xu Qing.

This was especially so since he almost couldnt catch up to Xu Qings cultivation speed previously. Hence, this time around, his heart was burning with pa.s.sion and he planned to establish his might.

Xu Qing nodded and took out his command sword, exchanging for the right to transmit his voice to the Sword Holding Courts great elder. He then quickly transmitted his voice.

Great Elder, please help me pa.s.s a message to my master.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and continued to transmit his voice with the command sword. Outsiders couldnt hear this voice transmission.

Please tell Master that my eldest senior brother wants to marry a cloud beast in the county. I cant dissuade him. The wedding is in three days. He doesnt dare to tell Master. I have taken it upon myself to invite Master to attend the wedding.

The Great Elder fell silent before chuckling. Clearly, he could hear the true meaning in these words, so he calmly replied.

I believe your master must be very happy to hear about this.

Thank you, Great Elder! Xu Qing said solemnly. After that, he put down the command sword and looked at his eldest senior brother who had a suspicious expression.

Junior Brother, why do I feel that something is amiss? Did you follow what we said earlier? The captain carefully sized up Xu Qing.

Eldest Senior Brother, you have to believe me. Xu Qings expression was serious as he looked into the captains eyes.

The captain kept feeling that something was wrong, but he still rubbed his hands, his eyes s.h.i.+ning.

Alright, Ill be gentler. Junior Brother, I just broke through and am very powerful now. I can use you to practice. As the captain spoke, he was about to attack.

Xu Qing looked at his eldest senior brother and shook his head.

Eldest Senior Brother, the message I transmitted is poison injuries, and its a poison that I cant detoxify.

As he spoke, Xu Qing took out some poisonous gra.s.s from his storage bag and swallowed it.

The captains eyes widened as he looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the captain with an innocent expression.

If I were to claim injuries, Master wouldnt believe it, as they are quite common. Thats why I mentioned poison. You know that I am proficient in Dao of Poison, and if I am unable to detoxify it, it indicates the severity of the poison.

As Xu Qing spoke, he took out some finished poison powder and swallowed it.

When the captain saw that Xu Qing was eating poison, he instinctively felt that there was a trap here. However, it seemed to be logical. Moreover, Xu Qing seemed to have eaten a lot in just a short while.

However, when he thought of his past experiences, he blinked and put on a spurious smile.

Junior Brother, this move of yours is still too inexperienced. Do you really think Ill believe you? Hehe. After the captain calmly spoke, he stretched his back.

It will take at least three days to reach here from the Yinghuang Province even by teleportation. Alright, I wont beat you. You can continue eating by yourself. Eat more. Ill leave first to gather information about the Immortal Forbidden.

With that, the captain placed his hands behind his back and left with a smug expression.

Xu Qing watched as the captain left. He then shook his head and continued to eat poison.

Outside the Sword Pavilion, the captain had a calm expression as he swaggered forward. It was only when he reached the city that he found a corner and quickly lowered his head to look at his right hand.

An eye grew out of his palm, reflecting the scene of Xu Qing eating poison.

Hes still eating? Could it be that he sensed my planted eye? Impossible. My seal is undone now, Little Qing shouldnt be able to sense it. The captain was a little hesitant.

Lets continue to observe.

Just like that, two days pa.s.sed. There was only one night left before the fastest time needed to rush over from the Yinghuang Province. The captain once again arrived at Xu Qings Sword Pavilion. After entering, he patted his stomach and sat in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless. His entire body was greenish-black and he looked like he had been seriously poisoned.
