Chapter 628: Though the Master Is Young, He Has Experienced Much

The identity of this heroic woman was Xu Qing's neighbor in the Reverse Moon Temple.

The statue's concealment in the Reverse Moon Temple didn't just cover appearance but also gender. Before the resistance broke out, no one knew that the statue of the burly man with his chest and breasts exposed was actually such a woman.

And this woman's personality was clearly similar to a man's. One could tell from her heroic words. She was the first to follow Master Dan Jiu and listen to his teachings.

Coupled with the fact that she spontaneously organized the follower group from the beginning, her reputation was very high. Especially since this woman had talent in organization, she formed such a follower group of several thousand people.

And these were just the core; there were many followers scattered throughout the Moon-Sacrifice Domain. As for the cultivators who knew of Dan Jiu and trusted him, there were even more.

At this moment, as these people and the Fourth Hall Master's subordinates approached the Green Sand Desert, Xu Qing also received a visit from the Mo Gui ancestor.

Although the Mingnan Shizi and others had left, Xu Qing had the control here. As a worker in the medicine shop, Mo Gui ancestor didn't dare to act presumptuously on the surface, regardless of any measurement.

However, he was somewhat unconvinced in his heart. This was not because of Xu Qing's status, but because of Xu Qing's age. In Mo Gui ancestor's view, handling such a major event was not something a child could handle.

This time was slightly different from before. Mo Gui ancestor in the medicine shop looked heavy and spoke to Xu Qing, "Last time, the Mingnan Shizi and others were sitting in town, so we could open the defense to let the Fourth Hall Master and others step in, but now..." Mo Gui ancestor looked at Xu Qing, "And the Red Moon army is chasing behind the Fourth Hall Master, so I suggest we cannot open the gray wind defense this time."

In the medicine shop, Mo Gui ancestor's words made the atmosphere tense.

Xiang Ningyan stopped mopping, Wu Jianwu stopped reciting poetry, Li Youfei and You Jing all looked at Xu Qing.

Among them, Li Youfei's inner anxiety was obvious, while Xiang Ningyan's expression was solemn. He was originally under Xu Qing's command in Fenghai County and knew the scenes of Xu Qing's past. He had even seen with his own eyes Xu Qing making great contributions in Fenghai County and moving the forces of various clans, so he understood that Xu Qing had the experience and the stature to handle such things.

Although Wu Jianwu did not know the specifics as well as Xiang Ningyan did, he had heard of it. As for You Jing, she had seen Xu Qing with her own eyes on the battlefield, and later heard about the change in the Feng Haijun Prefecture, so she understood that the other party was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

But clearly, Mo Gui ancestor didn't know, so after finishing his words, he looked at Xu Qing again, "Please make the decision, Young Master!"

Mo Gui ancestor's expression was heavy. The situation in the outside world had reached the most critical moment. In everyone's eyes, Xu Qing sat in the position originally occupied by the Mingnan Shizi, closing his eyes and thinking.

Xiang Linger understood the seriousness of the situation, so she stood obediently behind Xu Qing.

Time passed bit by bit. Xu Qing didn't speak, and a touch of majesty gradually formed on him.

At this moment, he looked quite like he had returned to the time when he acted on behalf of the old Palace Master to take charge of the Sword Palace in Fenghai County. At that time, he had far fewer trump cards than he did now, but he had still managed to turn the tide to a certain extent.

"What is our current military strength?" Xu Qing opened his eyes and spoke calmly. "The original strength of the entire great desert was weak. Although gray wind appeared to form a defense, it is not very strong. Including me, there are three people in the great desert at the Void Returning stage. As for Spirit Hidden, there are nine, including the Wind-Guarding clan. There are over a hundred Nascent Souls, and the rest are low-rank cultivators."

"Not counting our medicine shop." Mo Gui ancestor was a bit surprised by Xu Qing's calmness but still reminded him. These strengths were nothing compared to the Red Moon Temple, unless the Mingnan Shizi and others returned, otherwise they couldn't resist.

Mo Gui ancestor was about to continue speaking but suddenly took out a jade slip and looked down, his expression showing surprise. "Young Master, I just received news that the Fourth Hall Master's army has changed direction. They are not heading toward us but are moving toward other directions outside the great desert, moving away, as if looking for a place to fight to the death with the Red Moon pursuers."

"This is because they don't want to make things difficult for us!" Mo Gui said in a low voice, his expression complicated and helpless.

Xu Qing nodded and picked up the teacup to the side. He didn't drink it but held it in his hand, gazing at the tea inside. Faintly, he saw a figure from the depths of his memory in this tea.

Back then, that person stood at the border of Fenghai County, burning himself, blocking the enemy army alone, and becoming eternal.

At that time, the shock and stinging pain in Xu Qing's heart were incomparably intense, but he was powerless.

Now, having no way to save another person in the same situation, he spoke calmly after a long while.

"First, gather all the cultivators of the great desert to the Kusheng Mountain Range, using this place as the source. Without my order, no one is allowed to go out at all. Second, inform the Fourth Hall Master that he needs to change direction and come to the great desert."

Xu Qing said this and stood up. Mo Gui ancestor hesitated upon hearing this.

Xu Qing looked up at Mo Gui, his expression as usual, and spoke slowly. "The Red Moon star has already covered half the sky, and there are less than a few months left before the catastrophe descends. If we sit idly by and watch the Fourth Hall Master fight with the Red Moon cultivators, then the Reverse Moon will have no meaning. Moreover, after the Fourth Hall Master's group is captured or destroyed, will the Red Moon Temple let go of the great desert next to them?"

Regardless of each other's goals, or the fact that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, we must take action and provide supplies.

"This matter needs further discussion!"

"Xiang Ningyan!"

"Subordinate is here!"

Xiang Ningyan shivered all over and stepped forward, standing straight as if he had returned to Fenghai County.

"You act as the Book Order and go with Senior Mo Gui to proclaim my will."

"Obey the order!" Xiang Ningyan responded loudly.

"Wu Jianwu!"

"!!" Wu Jianwu was rendered by this atmosphere and hurriedly spoke.

"Release all your offspring, especially the parrots, to spread throughout the great desert as scouts!"

Wu Jianwu didn't dare to disobey and nodded rapidly.

"You Jing!"

You Jing was silent but also looked up at Xu Qing.

"Help me protect Xiang Linger and guard the medicine shop. Li Youfei will accompany you."

"Good!"

You Jing agreed, and Li Youfei also nodded hurriedly. He felt that Xu Qing at this moment was different from the past.

After Xu Qing finished giving instructions, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Xiang Linger. "When the Execution Platform appears in the sky outside, crush this jade slip!"

After saying this, Xu Qing walked out of the medicine shop. With a wave of his hand, the chickens in the backyard made sounds and flew out one after another, their bodies shining with light as they turned from little chicks into big chickens. Especially the few that had made contributions earlier had much brighter feathers.

Naturally, their status had improved due to their contributions, and one could even see their true bodies under the feathers. If they made a few more contributions, they could be granted the restoration of their original bodies.

At this moment, they scrambled to accompany Xu Qing and galloped straight toward the firmament.

Mo Gui ancestor looked at this scene and was moved. He could see that Xu Qing intended to take this group of chickens to meet them personally.

"This..." Mo Gui felt a bit hesitant in his heart about Xu Qing's approach, but he still instinctively looked at Xiang Ningyan and the others.

He looked down on these low-rank cultivators in his heart, but now he had no one else to ask.

"Rest assured, this little thing is nothing to my Lord. Back in Fenghai County, he resolved the chaos of two major forbidden areas alone and recruited millions of soldiers for the front line. Not to mention Void Returning stage one, there were stage two and stage three, and which clan dared not obey?" Xiang Ningyan said proudly.

"In the end, he even exposed the change in the Prefecture's storehouse and returned a clear sky to the prefecture. The Human Emperor has even issued an imperial decree acknowledging his future status as Prefecture Overseer. Therefore, in Feng Haijun, my lord is the focus of all attention and the heart of the people."

Mo Gui's eyes contracted upon hearing this, and his heart shook. He could see that Xiang Ningyan was not lying, but these few short sentences brought him huge waves.

"Resolved the danger of forbidden areas and recruited millions of soldiers? Acted as a County Governor?"

And while he was shaking, on the Kusheng Mountain Range, Xu Qing was standing on the head of a chicken, galloping forward.

While galloping, his eyes turned into pitch-black poison forbidden power, spreading outward with his gaze. With the cooperation of the storm, his surrounding gray wind soon became black, covering all directions, shocking to the eye.

Inside, the poison intent surged, making those little chickens feel palpitations.

Only Xu Qing was expressionless. Under this gallop, after the poison forbidden power reached its limit, he also arrived at the edge of the great desert.

Here, with Xu Qing's wave, the wind and sand in front of him separated with a rumble toward both sides, the sound deafening and spreading in all directions.

Looking from afar, the wind and sand opened and closed, turning into a canyon and revealing a vast road. Outside the road, on the horizon, one could see the Fourth Hall Master's army and the Red Moon Temple cultivators chasing them fighting.

They were tragic, with heavy casualties. The change in the sound also attracted the attention of both sides outside. They looked at Xu Qing here instantly.

The followers of Master Dan Jiu in the crowd also looked over. The moment everyone's gaze fell, Xu Qing, in the crack of the wind and sand at the edge of the great desert, raised his hand and pointed forward. A soft voice came out of his mouth. As soon as the words were spoken, the poison forbidden wind around him erupted suddenly, roaring toward the front.

The momentum was monstrous, black mist swallowing everything. Wherever it passed, the heterogenous matter was concentrated and blurry, appearing distorted.

Rolling between, all things could not escape. The poison forbidden power flooded toward the Red Moon cultivator army directly. Looking from afar, this poison mist was like seawater spreading rapidly over their heads.

It made everyone who saw it feel heart-shaking, rising with a sense of horror. Even the ground was corroded and turned pitch black, and even the blood color of the sky could not penetrate this poison mist, and the void in front of it was shattered.

This was the first eruption of the poison forbidden power in the true sense after Xu Qing melted it into the moonlight. And Xu Qing inside the poison forbidden power looked at all this coldly, the divinity in his body seeming to rise at this moment.

"God cultivator!" Someone in the crowd let out a trembling exclamation! ===== CHAPTER 629 =====
