Chapter 578: Red Mother

The sky of the Sacrifice Moon Domain was full of gloom, and the night was even more so, with no stars and no moon.

It was as if someone had covered the firmament with a black curtain, shrouding all things and blocking the eyes of all living beings.

At this moment, in this pitch-black night sky, a hidden ripple was spreading.

Inside this ripple was a huge man-made sun; it was Little Roundy.

The Sovereign Crown Prince refused to use Wu Jianwu's bear as a mount, so the Captain took out Little Roundy.

For this man-made sun, the Crown Prince was quite satisfied, so he waved his hand to hide it, and their group headed toward the Ku Sheng Mountain Range inside this sun.

But now, inside this man-made sun, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Xiang Ningyan sat upright, but couldn't help trembling. He had been trembling for most of the day. Even though his whole body was in pain, he still couldn't help it. That feeling of being a mortal facing a fierce tiger made him unable to calm down even while meditating.

Wu Jianwu was the same, trembling under an eave, not daring to breathe loudly.

And Li Youfei was even more unbearable. His nervousness and fear, after vaguely guessing the Crown Prince's cultivation, had turned into a surging tide, drowning him in suffocation.

This sense of suffocation made his awe toward Xu Qing also exceed the past, reaching a peak height.

He felt that the Master was indeed the Master, not only mysterious in origin but also acting beyond his imagination. You must know that Sovereign... he had only heard the name of this cultivation, but from childhood to adulthood, let alone a living one, he hadn't even seen a dead one.

He hadn't even seen a single hair of one.

Thinking of this, Li Youfei instinctively looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's position was beside the Crown Prince. Few people dared to sit there, and Xu Qing originally didn't want to, but the Crown Prince beckoned to him after arriving here.

So Xu Qing could only bite the bullet and sit down.

As for the Captain, he was one of the few, so he dared to stay here. At this moment, he was constantly fanning the Crown Prince, and the fawning look on his face never disappeared.

"Old Grandpa, how is the wind volume? Do you want me to increase it a bit?"

The Crown Prince said "hmm." The Captain gave it his all.

Xu Qing sat beside the Crown Prince, his hair fluttering slightly. He glanced at the hardworking Captain and gave an encouraging look in his eyes.

The Captain saw it and worked even harder. The Crown Prince, who had turned into an old grandpa, looked down at the ground around him.

Before, this was the living place of the Captain, Xiang Ningyan, and the others. Three big men living together, it was inevitably a bit messy, especially with Wu Jianwu's offspring.

The Captain noticed the old grandpa's gaze and was about to speak, but the next instant, Xiang Ningyan, who had been trembling all along, rushed over and cleaned the ground rapidly.

The speed of his movements made the Captain's eyes reveal deep meaning.

Xiang Ningyan didn't pay attention to the Captain's gaze. He had figured it out: this old grandpa might be his future big backer, his savior to escape the sea of bitterness. As long as he served this grandpa well, Erniu wouldn't dare to provoke him.

So he scrubbed crazily. After cleaning it spotlessly, the Crown Prince's expression revealed satisfaction.

Xiang Ningyan hurriedly recalled the faces of some people in his memory, learned their appearance, inserted his hands into his sleeves in front of him, and piled smiles on his face.

"Grandpa, if you are dissatisfied with any place, just tell the little one, and the little one will clean it immediately."

Looking at Xiang Ningyan's appearance, the Crown Prince's eyes revealed reminiscence. Xiang Ningyan's behavior seemed to remind him of some old friends, so the gaze looking at Xiang Ningyan softened a lot.

"The concentration of your bloodline is acceptable. If you continue to refine it, the future will be limitless."

Xiang Ningyan was exhilarated upon hearing this, hurriedly thanking the Crown Prince for his guidance.

This scene was noticed by Wu Jianwu. He was anxious, but the next instant, the parrot beside him suddenly flew out, appeared in front of the Crown Prince, and then landed on the Crown Prince's knee cautiously.

Wu Jianwu's heart jumped with fear. He felt this parrot was courting death itself.

But the Crown Prince didn't mind, instead looking at the parrot a few more times and laughing.

"Your bloodline is even more interesting."

Seeing that the old grandpa didn't drive it away, the parrot was somewhat excited, raised its head, looked at the crowd proudly, and transmitted words.

"Grandpa is born, you are all farts, hurry up and call Grandpa, Grandpa is here!"

This nonsensical poem came out. Wu Jianwu gasped, his heart trembling. Fearing that he would be implicated, the Crown Prince let out a laugh for the first time.

"Your ancestor didn't have this habit of the Ancient Emperor back then."

The parrot hurriedly spoke upon hearing this.

"The ancestor is a fart, Grandpa is the greatest, Grandpa is the best, Grandpa is ten thousand years old."

The Crown Prince smiled and raised his hand, touching the parrot's bald feathers. Obviously, he had some affection for this parrot.

And the parrot was incredibly obedient, letting the Crown Prince touch it, feeling incredibly proud in its heart. After a while, its small eyes scanned and looked at Xiang Ningyan.

"Little Ningzi, why don't you go and clean everything here? Why are you so unobservant? You must remember, from now on, where my Grandpa is, there cannot be a trace of dirt!"

Xiang Ningyan looked up at the parrot. The parrot scanned him with contempt.

Xiang Ningyan was silent and continued to scrub.

The parrot checked the Crown Prince rapidly and found that the other party didn't stop its way of speaking. Its courage grew, and it turned to look at the Captain proudly.

"And you, So-and-so Niu, what kind of thing are you fanning? Didn't you eat? With so little strength, and we are too slow. Fan Grandpa with one hand, and fan the sun with the other, making the sun burn more thoroughly!"

The Captain paused and looked at the parrot.

The parrot raised its head, still contemptuous.

The Captain narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but at this moment, the Crown Prince suddenly spoke.

"The one who came to the Heavenly Fire Sea back then,"

"was you, right."

The Captain's heart jumped upon hearing this, and he hurriedly shook his head.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me."

The Crown Prince's gaze was deep, looked at the Captain, and didn't ask further.

The Captain breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, waved his left hand, and hurriedly took out another fan.

"Little Wu is still sensible, the reminder is right, Old Grandpa, I'll go fan the sun right now."

Saying this, the Captain started with both hands, and for a moment, the sun's speed accelerated quite a bit.

Seeing that even Chen Erniu was obedient to it, and the Crown Prince even helped to beat the other party, the parrot's heart was incredibly excited, and its courage was completely unleashed.

It felt that this was its highlight moment and the peak of its bird life, so it summoned its daddy to massage Grandpa, then glared at Xu Qing, preparing to take revenge.

"And you, Little Qingzi, the road is long, why don't you dance for my Grandpa and make my Grandpa happy."

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu looked secretly, and the Captain smiled mockingly.

Xu Qing had been expressionless from beginning to end. At this moment, he glanced at the parrot.

The parrot raised its head, transmitting an arrogant voice. "Look... Ga?!"

Before its words were finished, it fell to the ground with a thud, spat blood directly, and exclaimed in surprise.

"How come there is still poison!"

Xu Qing's expression was calm, didn't pay attention to the parrot, but looked at the Crown Prince and spoke respectfully.

"Senior, you mentioned before that the Red Moon foundation has something to do with me. I wonder what it specifically is?"

The Crown Prince glanced at the parrot, smiled, raised his hand to touch it, and soon a strange look appeared in his eyes, turning to look at Xu Qing.

"This is a trump card my Master prepared for me, a kind of divine curse poison."

Xu Qing knew what the Crown Prince's gaze meant, so he explained a sentence.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's expression was a smile that wasn't a smile. The appearance he changed into now was kind, and combined with this smile, it was like an elder looking at his own junior.

Xu Qing's expression became even more respectful.

After a long while, the Crown Prince's hoarse voice echoed in the sun.

"You once told me that the Red Mother is our common enemy. I don't know what plan your Master has, but regardless, if you want to target the Red Mother, you must first solve the Red Moon Temple."

"Last time I went to the Red Moon Temple, besides some personal reasons and plans, I was also prepared to explore the foundation left by the Red Mother for the temple."

The Crown Prince looked toward Xu Qing.

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu pricked up their ears, and the Captain blinked his eyes.

"I once told you that although the influence of the Heavenly Dao at that time made you unable to hear too much, you should still remember that I told you the Red Mother was beheaded by my father before she became a god."

As soon as the Crown Prince's words came out, except for the Captain and Xu Qing, everyone here was shocked, their expressions changed greatly, and they were instinctively terrified.

Especially Li Youfei. As a local, after hearing this explosive information, his brain rumbled suddenly.

"And the foundation the Red Mother left for the temple is the skin slough she shed when she transformed from mortal to god back then!"

"It contains rich original power of the Red Moon. It is the core of the Red Moon Temple. With it there, the temple will not be destroyed."

"Because outsiders will be assimilated upon approaching, losing themselves and becoming Red Mother believers. Even temple cultivators dare not touch it, only able to worship it."

"Even the God Child needs to ask the Red Mother for instructions and obtain consent before using it, but the Red Mother is sleeping and cannot respond."

"Only you... perhaps can."

The Crown Prince's eyes had deep meaning, speaking softly.

Xu Qing was thoughtful. The Captain on the side raised his eyebrows slightly, and the Crown Prince didn't speak anymore.

Just like this, days passed. Although they had gotten used to the Crown Prince being on the side, Wu Jianwu, Xiang Ningyan, and Li Youfei were still nervous, not daring to relax.

Only the parrot, after the Crown Prince suppressed its poison with a wave, became vigorous again, showing off its power. However, toward Xu Qing, it was obviously completely afraid.

But toward others, it obviously had no memory, ordering them around. Xiang Ningyan gritted his teeth many times, and the Captain also sneered occasionally.

But with the Crown Prince there, it wasn't easy to flare up. And the parrot wasn't stupid; sometimes when the Crown Prince rested, it also stayed close.

Seeing no opportunity, the Captain kept this matter in his heart and began to busy himself with his own affairs.

He often took out a mirror and dived into it when the Crown Prince was resting, and appeared again soon.

Whenever this moment came, he would look at Xu Qing triumphantly, wanting to see surprise on Xu Qing's face.

Xu Qing was silent every time, but the Captain's gaze was frequent, so he sighed in his heart and asked the words the Captain wanted.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what have you been doing these days?"

Hearing this, the Captain laughed. He had finally waited for this sentence.

"Little Ah Qing, you've been in the Ku Sheng Mountain Range for a while, I don't believe you don't know. You were depressed in your heart, so you asked me after so long, right."

"Haha, you guessed right, what I entered was the Reverse Moon Hall."

The Captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder, with a look of "I understand you."

"I understand, Little Ah Qing, you should have tried in the Ku Sheng Mountain Range, but you were stuck at the second level, right? You have the Red Moon authority on you, it's impossible to pass."

"It's a pity, you can't see the scenery of the Reverse Moon Hall. I tell you, a big thing happened in the Reverse Moon Hall recently! A pill master appeared inside!"

The Captain spoke to Xu Qing in a low voice mysteriously.

"That pill master's origin is unknown, but I tell you, under my efforts, now the Master and I are already close friends."

Xu Qing hesitated. He wasn't sure if the Captain was talking about himself. Just as he was about to ask, the Captain spoke with a proud expression.

"Let's not talk about this first, I'll tell you later

the story of the Master and me. Let's talk about the key point. I recently took a mission in the Reverse Moon Hall. We can go and complete it on the way these few days. The reward is extremely generous. With the Old Grandpa here, what are we afraid of? So I've been frequently looking for missions these days!"

Xu Qing understood the Captain's habit of utilizing all resources around him and wasn't surprised, so he asked a sentence. "What mission?"

The Captain spoke quietly.

"There is a down-and-out cultivator in the Reverse Moon Hall who was practicing some kind of poison-immune body, but ended up poisoned. He is in a place of closed-door cultivation and hasn't been able to move for a long time."

"This cultivator obviously tried every way to resolve the poison, and should be dying soon, so he didn't hesitate to expose his tracks and issued a rescue mission in the Reverse Moon Hall." ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
