Chapter 629: Meeting Without Recognizing

~12 min read 2,300 words

The poison forbidden power of the past did not distinguish between friend and foe. As long as it spread, everything within its range would be corroded.

But after melting into the moonlight, Xu Qing's control over the poison forbidden power far exceeded the past. Now, wherever the mist passed, he could initially specify targets, and the Reverse Moon cultivators were not affected too much.

The focus of the slaughter was the Red Moon cultivators.

For a moment, exclamations continued. Many Red Moon cultivators retreated in palpitations, and some with weak cultivation bases let out miserable sounds, their bodies visibly melting and becoming blood, soaking into the ground.

More had their bodies appear with varying degrees of rot. The intense pain and the threat of death brought by this made them unable to help but churn in their hearts, each unfolding Red Moon power to resist.

Only some powerful ones could ignore it for a short time.

But in the end, the pressure on the Reverse Moon cultivators was reduced a lot, and the Fourth Hall Master immediately ordered everyone to head straight for the great desert.

He had originally sensed through his own methods that the Mingnan Shizi and others were likely not in the great desert, so he didn't want to implicate this place and prepared to leave to fight the Red Moon cultivators to the death, also prepared for death.

For so many years, his exhaustion had been incomparably rich. He didn't want to give up this resistance without hope, but reality made him bitter.

At this moment, seeing Xu Qing walk out and open the great desert, the Fourth Hall Master gritted his teeth, and his forces surged over rapidly.

He even took action personally to delay time for everyone.

The sound of roaring and the fluctuation of techniques immediately spread in all directions.

And although the Red Moon cultivators were blocked by the poison forbidden power, how could the strong among them give up? Soon, they scattered from all sides, intercepting while rushing in.

The little chickens around Xu Qing also rushed out to meet them. Xu Qing closed his eyes, raised his right hand, and pointed outside the great desert.

"Ghost Emperor Mountain becomes the Execution Platform, Ding Yisaner's luck becomes the blade slot!"

As soon as Xu Qing's words were spoken, the world changed color, the outside world roared, and the shadows of the Ghost Emperor Mountain and Ding Yisaner manifested a thousand zhang, shocking the world, forming the Execution Platform blade slot.

Inside, the Ghost Emperor held the great prison with both hands, and the power of luck turned into a blade slot canyon.

The thousand-zhang platform was shocking to the eye. Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, it fell to the ground, falling behind the Reverse Moon Temple cultivators and blocking the front of the Red Moon cultivators.

The familiarity revealed by this scene made all cultivators unable to help but feel heart-shaken.

"This is..."

"Very familiar!!"

As the exclamations echoed, Xu Qing's eyes showed strange light.

"Heavenly Dao becomes the blade body, God-cursing poison forbidden becomes the blade edge, Morning Glow light forms the blade glow!"

The firmament churned, the Cang Dragon roared, turning into a blade body. The poison forbidden gathered from all sides into an edge, and there was even the rhyme of cutting the Dao, which was the Heavenly Blade. And the Morning Glow light formed the blade glow, breaking all laws and turning all techniques.

Once the Heavenly Blade appeared, whether it was Reverse Moon cultivators or Red Moon cultivators, the familiar feeling in their memories surged at this moment. Someone had already recognized the reason.

"It's the... Execution Platform that appeared in our minds a while ago!"

"Exactly the same!"

"Could it be that the one who showed the Execution Platform back then was this person!"

All directions were in an uproar, and Xu Qing simply stopped hiding his appearance and revealed the true face that had appeared in the minds of all living beings that day.

Once this true face appeared, the shock of the crowd erupted completely, like a thunderclap, shaking their whole bodies.

The cultivators of the Reverse Moon Temple couldn't help but be excited. When they were most numb, it was the image of the Execution Platform in their minds that made them pick up the will to resist, wanting to start a prairie fire with a single spark.

And now, when they were most desperate, they saw the Execution Platform again, and saw the figure in the image in their minds.

At this moment, this figure seemed to overlap with the Lord.

And his voice still echoed.

"Golden Crow as the chain, Purple Moon as the seal!"

The Crow danced, the Purple Moon rose into patterns, driven by the God Treasury, achieving one body.

"Accommodate with light..."

"Driven by the Sun Dial Life Lamp..."

Five Sun Dials formed behind Xu Qing, the fire of the life lamp vibrated the night sky, the dial needles on it turned rapidly, and the aura of time erupted suddenly.

In the next instant, it was noon!

"Sun Dial at noon, heaven and earth cut together!"

Xu Qing's eyes showed sharp light, and he slashed with one blade!

The Heavenly Blade fell from the sky, like a huge curtain, and also like a mountain range, making the firmament covered and the earth shake.

It didn't cut cultivators, but heaven and earth.

One blade fell, divine power was exhausted, the gate blade touched the blade slot, cutting off the void and shattering the void.

While shaking all directions, it also completely cut off the path of the Red Moon cultivators.

On the ground, a huge gully appeared directly, shocking to the eye, and the storm raised carried endless evil spirit, spreading to both sides.

The Red Moon cultivators were shocked and had to stop.

At this moment, Xu Qing was like a Lord resurrected, heaven and earth trembled together. The Execution Platform that had reappeared in the memories of all living beings back then truly manifested in the world, manifested in the eyes of the Red Moon cultivators and those hundreds of thousands of Reverse Moon cultivators.

It shook their hearts, raised a destructive storm, carried endless momentum, and stood outside the great desert with peerless killing intent.

The momentum was like a rainbow.

The Fourth Hall Master looked at Xu Qing with deep eyes, leading hundreds of thousands of cultivators under his command, taking advantage of the shock formed by the Execution Platform, and stepped into the great desert more and more.

And the Void Returning powerhouses among the Red Moon cultivators, although their hearts were shaken, Xu Qing's cultivation base formed the Execution Platform, but the fame was too big, and the power was not enough to make them retreat. So, they were about to continue to take action to intercept.

But just at this moment, in the depths of the great desert, in the direction of the Kusheng Mountain Range, a monstrous power rose into the sky.

For a moment, the sun, moon, and stars manifested in the firmament, as if time and space were shifting, and a vast river of time flowed from the firmament. Wherever it passed, the aura of the Great Dao was extremely rich.

That was the fluctuation of a Hidden Spirit!

Faintly, one could see a pair of eyes appearing in the river of time.

Princess Mingmei's eyes.

Under this gaze, all the Red Moon powerhouses outside the desert were shocked and retreated without hesitation. The reason they dared to appear was because they had found out that the Mingnan Shizi and others had left the great desert.

But now, this Hidden Spirit aura made them instinctively terrified.

Although it might be a trick, in the days when the Red Moon was about to arrive, these Red Moon cultivators didn't like to take risks. After all, this scene at least expressed that there was still a Hidden Spirit strike here.

So, prudence became the way of doing things for those powerhouses among the Red Moon cultivators.

And their retreat made the Reverse Moon Temple cultivators finally step into the great desert. After entering, everyone looked at Xu Qing, their expressions carrying excitement, and all went to pay respects.

Xu Qing, who was in mid-air, gazed at all this, waved his hand, and the great desert separated, closing again, blocking his sight from the Red Moon cultivators outside.

After doing all this, Xu Qing looked at the crowd and then cupped his fists at the Fourth Hall Master, who was full of vicissitudes and exhaustion.

"Greetings, Senior."

The Fourth Hall Master's expression was heavy. He didn't neglect him at all because of the difference in cultivation base between them, and he bowed deeply toward Xu Qing.

"Thank you, Little Friend, for your help!" Xu Qing nodded and was about to speak, but just at this moment, among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who entered the great desert, there were a few thousand people whose behavior and cheers caught Xu Qing's attention.

Xu Qing had focused on the Red Moon earlier, so he didn't look closely, but looking now, the clothing of these people made Xu Qing hesitate for a moment.

Especially the woman at the head, who was now so excited that she actually knelt on the ground and was kissing the sand.

The thousands of people behind her were mostly the same.

Xu Qing blinked, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

The Fourth Hall Master spoke softly, his voice carrying emotion.

"Little Friend, these people are followers of Master Dan Jiu. The leader calls herself an apostle and has listened to the Master's Dao sounds for two months. They gathered from all directions and are extremely united, helping each other. They didn't originally come with me but met on the way."

"Their goal is exactly the great desert."

"Because they guess that Master Dan Jiu is hiding here."

Xu Qing heard this and looked at that group of people.

At this moment, the discussion of these people was boiling, and even the sound of the wind couldn't suppress it.

"This is our holy land."

"That's right, the white wind contained in the Master's elixir shows that the wind is the key to the elixir. Only this place in the entire Moon-Sacrifice Domain has the conditions."

"That's right, the Master must be hiding here. Now in troubled times, we must find the Master, follow him, and guard him!"

Looking at their fanatical expressions, Xu Qing felt very strange in his heart.

Especially the woman at the head, Xu Qing identified her for a long time, and combined with the other party's statement about listening to Dao sounds, he guessed that it was that neighbor burly man with his chest and breasts exposed.

Just like that, after the wind of the great desert blew again, everyone returned to the Kusheng Mountain Range. The Fourth Hall Master and others returned to the camp they had built before leaving to rest, while that group of Master Dan Jiu's followers separated.

In the days that followed, this group of people scattered throughout the Kusheng Mountain Range, constantly searching and inquiring. Although there were no results, they were extremely persistent and even built a camp of their own, not far from the earthen city where Xu Qing was, and even built a statue there. The appearance of this statue was exactly the same as the divine statue of Xu Qing's Reverse Moon Temple.

For them, Xu Qing couldn't help but pay attention. He had never had such an experience. It wasn't until the day the statue was completed that he couldn't help but go there.

When he walked into the camp of these Dan Jiu followers, Xu Qing saw thousands of cultivators here, each with excitement in their expressions. They also set up a large map, depicting the entire great desert.

Some areas on it were marked, clearly areas that had already been searched.

And Xu Qing's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention. They bowed one after another, and the apostle woman also put down her work and came to welcome him.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

Beside the statue of Dan Jiu, she, wearing tight clothing and looking very capable, had a solemn expression and bowed toward Xu Qing, who was gazing at the statue.

Xu Qing was observing the statue and found that this statue was lifelike and full of details. At this moment, he turned his head upon hearing the sound, and his gaze fell on the heroic woman.

The image of the neighbor burly man floated in his mind, but he couldn't overlap these two people.

So he looked at the statue again and couldn't help but remind her of two things.

"As the Red Moon star approaches, it is not impossible for the God Temple to enter the great desert. Leaving the Kusheng Mountain Range will be dangerous. You don't actually have to search outside like this."

The heroic woman shook her head upon hearing this, her expression firm.

"Precisely because of this, we must speed up our search, because the Master might also be facing danger!"

Xu Qing hesitated and said, "The Master might also be very safe... Besides, even if you meet him, can you recognize him?"

The woman was proud, and everyone around her laughed.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't understand this. After all, you haven't seen the Master, but I have listened to the Master's Dao sounds for two months and followed the Master several times, feeling the greatness and compassion on him, as well as that unique aura. So I can know if he is the Master just by looking at him." Saying this, the woman looked at Xu Qing. ===== CHAPTER 630 =====
