Chapter 441: Erased from the Bamboo Slip

"Human race." A look of contempt appeared in the Captain's eyes. His slender, gray right hand lifted and pressed toward Qingqiu from the air.

Under this press, the void around Qingqiu twisted and actually collapsed instantly, suppressing her directly.

"Black Heaven Clan!"

Qingqiu's eyes shrank abruptly, and her body retreated backward, but it was a step too late.

Following the Captain's attack, the war soul she had guided outside her body twisted, as if it were about to collapse.

And Qingqiu was also extraordinary. At the moment of crisis, red light shone in her eyes, and she threw the ghost sickle in her hand toward the Captain.

The sickle set off a sharp whistling sound, like a high-speed rotating wheel, cutting through the void with a destructive force and rushing toward the Captain. The speed was astonishing.

Even more so at this moment, the retreating Qingqiu formed seals with both hands, madness appearing in her eyes. She let out a sharp sound toward the Captain, and the war soul that was about to collapse on her body immediately separated from her body, rushing toward the Captain, opening its big mouth to swallow.

The Captain narrowed his eyes and didn't dodge at all, letting the ghost sickle approach, cutting through his forehead. As black blood sprayed, his body was also cut into two halves.

But the next instant, as the sickle passed through the Captain's body and slashed on the four-legged beast, the body that had been cut into two halves by the Captain actually fused together again strangely.

He even opened his big mouth and bit fiercely toward the war soul that was about to swallow him in front of him.

With a snap, a big mouth of the Black Heaven Clan, a hundred feet in size, manifested in front of the Captain. Compared to this big mouth, the war soul that arrived was like a piece of fat meat, which was swallowed by the Captain in one bite.

While chewing, his body stepped out and arrived directly in front of Qingqiu, who was retreating rapidly with a changing expression. He waved his right hand, and immediately hundreds of long spears appeared out of thin air, wanting to kill Qingqiu.

Just then, Xu Qing's voice came.

"I want her alive."

"I obey the Dharma decree!" The Captain spoke loudly. This was what he had discussed with Xu Qing before making a move.

At this moment, the hundreds of long spears twisted and turned into long hairs, instantly winding around Qingqiu, binding her up. Qingqiu struggled, unwillingness appearing in her eyes. Just as she was about to unfold her secret technique, she was punched in the mask by the Captain, stunning her.

This punch was not small in force, and the mask shattered into pieces, revealing a delicate and pretty face hidden underneath.

Not paying attention to her appearance, the Captain lifted his hand and grabbed the rope on Qingqiu, turned around, and looked coldly at the surrounding Saint-Lan Clan members, his expression revealing displeasure.

That Saint-Lan Clan young man stepped forward hurriedly, gratitude appearing on his face, and immediately knelt down.

"Thank you, Upper Clan, for making a move."

"Depart immediately, and leave the Feng Hai Prefecture within three days!" The Captain said coldly. After speaking, he carried Qingqiu back to the ninth four-legged beast and shrank away.

That Saint-Lan Clan young man watched the Captain leave, stood up, and the gratitude and fanaticism in his expression dissipated. He ordered the clansmen who were still terrified in all directions.

Soon, their transport team moved forward again, and the speed was clearly much faster.

And at this moment, on the skin of the four-legged beast, the Captain returned, threw the unconscious Qingqiu aside, and when he landed, the mask fragments remaining on Qingqiu's face fell off again, making the small face hidden underneath reveal more.

"Since you find her unpleasant, then she is yours." The Captain laughed and transmitted his voice, playing with the sickle in his hand. The ghost on the sickle trembled and fell into a coma, revealing a fawning expression.

Xu Qing nodded, his cold gaze sweeping toward Qingqiu, and then toward Qingqiu's face.

That was an incomparably pretty face, with fair skin, a small nose bridge, and a cherry mouth. She looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old.

It gave people a sense of natural weakness, looking like a neighbor's little sister, and the difference from Qingqiu's usual words and deeds was very great.

In this cruel world, this kind of weakness would instinctively make people want to bully her if there were no constraints.

Xu Qing looked at it and was about to withdraw his gaze, but he suddenly felt that the other party's appearance was a bit familiar, so he sized her up carefully, and gradually frowned, stood up abruptly, and walked over.

The Captain smiled but not smiled, his expression carrying a trace of teasing, and watched the fun, flicking the sickle lightly. Immediately, the ghost on it screamed and fell into a coma.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the Captain. He walked quickly to Qingqiu, sized her up carefully, and a trace of trance appeared in his eyes, but he wasn't very sure, so he lifted his hand to take off Qingqiu's storage bag, searched it again, and took out a small stone from Qingqiu's chest.

Looking at this small stone, Xu Qing's heart was filled with waves, and he was a bit lost.

Some images buried in his memory emerged in this wave.

That was a wooden house. In the corner, a little girl with a huge scar on her face was squatting, trembling and guarding against everyone who approached.

The image changed, appearing in the beast-fighting arena. The little girl held a bamboo stick in her hand, which had the words "Giant Horn Python" on it. At this moment, the despair in the little girl's eyes was very clear.

The image changed again. Under the moonlight, outside the big gate, the little girl's stubborn voice came. She said she would repay, and then walked away staggeringly in the moonlit night.

There were many subsequent images, whether it was the White Elixir of the grocery store, or the figure sweeping the floor in the wind and snow, or the eyes when the other party caught up and gave him candy.

Until finally, the image of the memory froze in the sunset, the little girl holding her brother's hand, walking away step by step, looking back at every step.

Along with the image, there were some sounds coming from time, echoing in Xu Qing's ears.

"Little Brother, every time I'm unhappy, my mother gives me candy. When I eat it, I'm happy."

"This is my last piece of candy, I give it to you."

"Little Brother, be happy!"

"My brother came to pick me up. Little Brother, do you want to leave with me?"

"It doesn't matter. When I grow up, we can still meet. Little Brother, I said I would repay your life-saving grace, I will definitely be able to do it!"

"I'm leaving... Little Brother."

The images and sounds in his memory echoed in Xu Qing's mind continuously, until a long time... Xu Qing sighed lightly. This sigh carried the memories of the past, carried emotion, and carried sighing.

He lowered his head and looked at Qingqiu's face. The other party's pretty face gradually overlapped with the little girl in his memory.

"That's right, she is from the Litu Sect, and she can't recognize me, because my change... is too big."

Xu Qing sighed. Whether it was the dirt on his face that hadn't been washed for many years in the scavenger camp, or his own growth over the years, it made the once thin and small boy grow up.

Amidst the fluctuations in his heart, Xu Qing's gaze fell on the small stone in his hand. This scar-removing stone had worn out a lot, clearly often being rubbed by someone in their hand.

After a long while, Xu Qing put the small stone back to its original place, took the storage bag, and returned to his original position, sitting cross-legged.

Now the Black Heaven Clan identity was not suitable to be told, and after not seeing each other for many years, whether the other party was still the same as before was unknown. All this made Xu Qing have no need to reveal his identity for the time being.

Whether to recognize each other or not, in his view, was not very important, just like the three words "wish you peace" he said when the little girl left.

"Peace is good."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, took out the bamboo slip, and erased Red Woman's name. Then he looked at the Captain. Recalling the Captain's previous actions, he clearly knew.

"The old man told me, and I investigated it myself, haha. I only knew the answer before setting off, and I planned to give you a surprise." The Captain coughed.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and didn't pay attention to him.

A day later, Qingqiu woke up.

The moment she woke up, she didn't open her eyes immediately, but controlled her heartbeat and aura, keeping herself in a state of coma, trying to perceive the surroundings.

She first noticed that her cultivation base was sealed and couldn't be dispersed.

This made her heart sink. At the same time, there was no ghost's voice in her mind. She knew that the ghost sickle was either taken away or also sealed.

These two discoveries made her understand that her current situation was extremely dangerous, and her storage bag was also gone.

Fortunately, there were no injuries on her body, and she was not bound. In addition, she felt that the small stone on her chest was still there, which was the misfortune among misfortunes.

"Since you're awake, you don't need to pretend." Just as Qingqiu was trying to break her own cultivation seal, Xu Qing's cold voice came to her ears.

Qingqiu remained calm and became even more careful.

Xu Qing looked at Qingqiu and didn't speak again.

Qingqiu remained calm and became even more cautious.

Until the next day, Qingqiu opened her eyes helplessly. She felt that the seal in her body was extremely astonishing. That was not a human means, but a spiritual imprint. She thought it should be the Black Heaven Clan's imprisonment method.

With her current ability, she couldn't dispel it. As for the location, she had already judged it, knowing that this was because she had been shrunk by a special method and hidden on the skin of the four-legged beast.

And not waking up would be too fake, so after opening her eyes at this moment, she stood up immediately, looking at these two Black Heaven Clan members with coldness in her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen the Black Heaven Clan, and she understood even more that the existence of Black Heaven Clan members in the Saint-Lan Clan transport team was a huge matter. 【441-74

And it would be too fake not to wake up anymore, so after opening her eyes at this moment, she immediately got up, looking at the two Black Heaven clansmen in front of her with icy coldness in her eyes.

This was her first time seeing the Black Heaven Clan, and realizing that Black Heaven clansmen existed within the Saint Lan Clan caravan was a matter of huge proportions.

Amidst the anxiety in her heart, she also saw her own Evil Ghost Sickle in the hands of the Black Heaven clansman who had captured her alive; the evil ghost on it had its eyes closed and was fast asleep.

"Why don't you kill me?" Qingqiu spoke suddenly.

The Captain swept a glance at Qingqiu with a half-smile, not saying a word. Xu Qing was silent for a moment and spoke indifferently.

"Be quiet for this period of time. Three months later, I will let you go."

Qingqiu sneered; she did not believe these words.

"I have some dealings with your Litu Sect, which is the reason I am not killing you." It wasn't Xu Qing who said this, but the Captain. Seeing Xu Qing about to open his mouth, he transmitted the words in advance.

Xu Qing glanced at the Captain and remained silent.

Qingqiu also looked at the Captain, putting on a contemplative look. She understood that there was no need to be stubborn at this moment; it was better to pretend to cooperate, see what the other party really wanted to do, and find an opportunity to escape at the same time.

"The little stone in your bosom is something you care about very much, right? That's why I didn't take it away." The Captain's expression turned cold, and he spoke in a chilling voice, carrying some threats.

Xu Qing frowned upon hearing this.

Qingqiu's expression remained normal, but her heart trembled. However, she tried hard not to let it show in the slightest, because once she revealed that she cared, it would be equivalent to telling the other party the answer.

"Three months later, I will let you go, and at that time, this sickle will also be returned to you. Of course, if you play any little tricks, I will crush that little stone of yours first—crush it bit by bit." The Captain's voice was hoarse, his tone like that of a villain, and his fingers even raised to tap on the sickle.

The unconscious evil ghost trembled again.

Qingqiu was silent, staring fixedly at the Captain. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Just like that, time passed. Soon, another day went by. As the caravan reached the border of Lanlan Province and stepped into the scope of the Saint Lan Clan's Great Desolation East County, that Saint Lan Clan youth let out a long sigh of relief.

All the clansmen in the caravan also relaxed one after another. Here, they would no longer encounter danger from the human race.

And Xu Qing and the Captain were also invited by the Saint Lan Clan youth, dispelling their concealment and appearing in the outside world.

Looking at everything unfamiliar here and looking in the direction of Fenghai County, Qingqiu felt gloomy in her heart, and there was even a touch of sorrow. She knew that she had no way to escape in the short term.

"Two upper-clan lords, we are safe now that we have arrived here." The Saint Lan Clan youth had a smile on his face, and fanaticism still appeared in his eyes as he cupped his fists toward Xu Qing and the Captain.
