Chapter 768

"Complete it in advance?"

The Captain suspiciously sized Xu Qing up a few times, rubbed his chin, and instinctively took out a peach, putting it in his mouth to gnaw a few times.

"Little Ah Qing, during the time I was away, did you make a good friend in the Star Emperor Sect? Which female cultivator is it? Is she good-looking? How is her figure? Is the pollen incense on you brought by this woman?"

"Regarding this matter, I must criticize you. You must always remember that you are my junior brother, and I am your Eldest Senior Brother!"

The Captain's expression was somewhat serious.

"So, next time there is such a thing, please let me do it!"

Xu Qing glanced at the Captain. He had originally intended to tell the truth, but now he didn't want to say it, so he sat there and closed his eyes, ignoring him.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, the Captain blinked, sat opposite Xu Qing, and spoke to himself.

"Why aren't you talking? It's okay, it's okay. No matter if you succeed or not, Eldest Senior Brother will remember your kindness. I am just worried about your body, Little Ah Qing."

Xu Qing still kept his eyes closed.

The Captain coughed, put on a mysterious expression, and added in a low voice.

"Little Ah Qing, do you want to know about the origin of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan's Divine Domain hunt?"

Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the Captain.

The Captain looked proud, eating a peach while speaking.

"You also know that the Yanyue Xuantian Clan is very strong, right? But they still cannot do what the human race once did—unify the myriad clans of Wanggu."

"There are four reasons."

"The first reason is that within this Wanggu Continent, there are four other super-large clans as powerful as the Yanyue Xuantian Clan. Even among these five major clans, Yanyue's ranking is only third."

"The second reason is the customs and survival methods of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan. The number of their clansmen is not large, and their territory is too big, so they are mostly nomadic, enslaving a large number of clans to fight for them through colonization."

"The third reason is the three gods of Sun, Moon, and Star. Each god has their own temple, influencing the secular world, making the internal unity of Yanyue not unified. They are divided into three forces, and internal struggles are very fierce."

"In the Yanyue Xuantian Clan, the highest level is the Shenshan, which is also the headquarters of the three god temples. The God City built around the Shenshan is supreme within Yanyue."

"Next are the three major power accounts, with the Shenshan as the center, forming a tripod stance across the entire domain."

"The fourth reason is that although the Yanyue Xuantian Clan has three gods, the overall strength of this clan is still inferior compared to other strong clans. So for countless years, in order to be strong, this clan has a hunting tradition, cultivating clansmen like raising Gu. This has formed a fierce folk custom, and at the same time, they worship the strong."

"They have also set a hunting festival once every sixty years. And their hunting is no longer satisfied with other weak clans, so many years ago, they locked their target onto the Divine Domain."

"And during the Great Hunt every three hundred years, the three gods will take action to randomly tear open a Divine Domain entrance, allowing clansmen to enter and hunt Divine Domain living beings."

The Captain looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing pondered. These things were also heard for the first time. Regarding the ferocity of this Yanyue Xuantian Clan, he had more cognition between the lines of the Captain's words.

Looking at the human race now, Xu Qing was silent.

The Captain finished the peach in his hand, took out another one, and continued to speak.

"Now you know why there is a Divine Domain hunt, right? Also, I heard that every Great Hunt of the Yanyue Clan, after going through multiple rounds of assessment, the one who finally wins will be bestowed a noble title by the Shenshan."

"Xuantian General!"

Xu Qing's eyes constricted.

A look of yearning appeared in the Captain's eyes.

"In one of my past lives, I also went to participate in this Great Hunt. Unfortunately, there was an accident in the middle, otherwise I could have mixed into the identity of a Xuantian General."

"Can non-Yanyue clansmen also participate?" Xu Qing asked.

The Captain nodded.

"Whether it is the Yanyue clan itself, other affiliated clans, or cultivators from other clans who have come from afar, as long as they are bestowed the qualification, they can participate in the Great Hunt. But among the Xuantian Generals born throughout history, all of them have been cultivators of the Yanyue clan."

"My plan this time is to take advantage of this Yanyue Great Hunt opportunity to mix into the torn-open Divine Domain..."

The Captain licked his lips and looked up at the house door.

"Little Ah Qing, is your mistress capable? I've been waiting for a long time. Is there any news?"

"That is the Dharma Transmission Pavilion. The old monster inside has astonishing cultivation, and his perception is incomparably sharp. Every time I get close, it feels like I'm being pricked by countless needles in my soul. Can your mistress really help me get the old monster away?"

The Captain ate the peach in his hand in one bite, his gaze falling on Xu Qing.

"This is also unrealistic. That old monster cannot leave the Dharma Transmission Pavilion. Could it be that she can bring me in directly? If it doesn't work, I'd better go back quickly."

Xu Qing was expressionless, looking at the house door.

"It's here."

"Huh?"

The Captain was curious and was just about to speak, but just at this moment, the voice of a Sword-Holder came from outside the door, informing Xu Qing that someone was asking to see him.

"Invite him here."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

"Who is it?" The Captain was even more curious, looking eagerly at the house door. Soon, when he sensed something, a knock came from outside the house.

Xu Qing lifted his hand and waved, the house door opened, and the seal around it revealed an entrance. An old man's figure appeared outside the door and stepped into the secret room in one step.

This old man had white hair and wore ordinary Daoist robes. His identity could not be seen, but his Void Returning cultivation was incomparably thick, especially his eyes, which were extremely bright.

His arrival aroused the Captain's vigilance.

And the moment he saw Xu Qing, the old man bowed, took a storage bag from his body, and placed it in front of Xu Qing.

"Everything is here. You can return it in seven days."

After speaking, the old man stepped back, left the secret room, and disappeared.

Throughout the whole process, he only had this one sentence, and he didn't even look at the Captain beside Xu Qing.

Until he left, the Captain was somewhat puzzled. He looked at the direction the other party left in, and then looked at the storage bag.

"Little Ah Qing, who is this person? His cultivation is not simple, and he said everything is here... What is in this storage bag?"

The Captain's breathing was slightly rapid. A guess rose in his heart, but he felt the possibility didn't seem very high.

Furthermore, rich human race luck churned on this palm, causing the rosy light to spread, and the pressure to spread throughout the Imperial Capital.

Xu Qing flicked his sleeve, and the storage bag flew toward the Captain.

"Impossible!" The Captain sat up abruptly, grabbed the storage bag, and scanned it with his divine sense. His eyes widened, and he immediately looked at Xu Qing.

His expression carried disbelief.

It was really because under his divine sense scan, there were more than 100,000 jade slips in this storage bag, containing everything of the Star Emperor Branch Sect. And according to his previous inquiries, the jade slips here were indeed all from the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

And the quantity... should also be all of them.

Most importantly, he felt the obscure aura of the Stone Book words in the more than 100,000 jade slips in this storage bag. This meant... the escaped words were in these jade slips.

"This..." The Captain was somewhat bewildered.

He understood the Star Emperor Sect, but the more he understood, the more he knew the difficulty and significance of emptying the Dharma Transmission Pavilion of a branch sect to lend to someone. This kind of thing, unless the branch sect master agreed, or the main sect spoke.

And the person who spoke must also have a very high status.

Looking at the storage bag at this moment, the Captain was somewhat lost. Thinking of how hard he had worked before, paying a great price, and needing another month to possibly complete the matter, but here at Xu Qing's... it was just one sentence.

This feeling made him have no excitement of completing his wish in advance, but instead rose with some depression. So the gaze he cast toward Xu Qing also contained some resentment.

"Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"You just told me today." Xu Qing was expressionless.

The Captain was even more depressed.

"Who was that person?"

"He should be an elder of the Star Emperor Supreme Sect." Xu Qing answered.

"Impossible. Even an elder of the main sect cannot do this. This person's status must be above an elder!"

The Captain spoke with certainty.

"It doesn't matter. You got the things, just remember to send them back in seven days."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, in a very good mood.

In the secret room, the Captain held the storage bag, looking at Xu Qing's back, his heart churning. For a while, he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he lowered his head in depression, looking for the words in the jade slips.

As for returning to the Star Emperor Branch Sect, it was completely meaningless.

"This won't do. My face as an Eldest Senior Brother is lost..."

The Captain's gaze was firm, but for a while, he didn't know what to do.

"Headache. Before it was cultivation; I worked hard to break a seal and regained the prestige of an Eldest Senior Brother. Now, how can I catch up..."

The Captain gritted his teeth while looking for words.

"If it really doesn't work, I can only use the identity of my past-past-past-past life!"

Just like this, time passed, and seven days quickly went by.

During these seven days, with the end of the Dao discussion, the investigation into the Rongshen school also gradually unfolded. Every day, some Rongshen students were taken away. All parties in the entire Imperial Capital were paying attention to the aftermath of this matter.

As for the death of the Seventh Prince, because of his sins and being beheaded by the Imperial Sword, there was no prince funeral, but he was stripped of his imperial registration and did not enter the Imperial Temple.

The human historian also only wrote a hurried stroke about the Seventh Prince.

"Winter of the 2936th year of the Xuanzhan calendar, the Seventh Prince did evil, and the Imperial Sword beheaded him."

A period was drawn.

The incense representing the Seventh Prince on the Rainbow Bridge also turned into fly ash. Now, what stood there was no longer twelve sticks, but eleven.

Xu Qing's name rose sharply in and outside the Imperial Capital, and no one did not know it.

And just at this time, the Fifth Prince, who had left the Imperial Capital for many years and followed the First Heavenly King to guard the border, sent news of his return. He was returning to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties.

The spread of this news led to discussions among many people in the Imperial Capital.

Especially the death of the Seventh Prince made this matter even more imaginative.

Because the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince were born of the same mother.

A few more days passed. On this morning, the bell rang...

Outside the East Gate of the Imperial Capital, above the ancient formation, light shone. Under the brilliant sky, a large army was transmitted back. Looking from afar, banners were fluttering, the number of people was large, and the momentum was like a rainbow, causing the clouds and mist in the firmament to churn involuntarily.

In front of the army, on a mutated two-headed black dragon, sat a person.

This person wore black armor, his eyes were cold, gazing at the Imperial Capital.

A head of long hair fluttered in the wind, and his whole body was filled with malevolent energy that shook all directions. Clearly, his life of slaughter was heaven-shaking. All the soldiers behind him, with him as the leader, were silent.

"I have returned."

The person in black armor murmured softly.
