718 What Can Be Done if One’s Strength Is Not Enough to Accomplish Great Tasks? (2)

No matter how much Xu Qing called out, there was no response whatsoever.

“But no matter what, when the Red Moon awakens, I’ll definitely be in big trouble!” Xu Qing’s expression was ugly. The first thought in his mind was to leave the county capital and avoid entering the Immortal Forbidden.

However, after this thought rose, another thought also rose in his mind.

“There will definitely be opportunities in this storm!”

“The Immortal Forbidden contains countless rare treasures and endless opportunities. The danger is the god sleeping inside. However, if the Red Moon devours It, the Immortal Forbidden will be exposed completely.”

“Red Moon is a god of the Black Heaven Race. Since the prince dared to awaken It here, he must have a follow-up plan to ensure his safety. Moreover, he has many subordinates in Fenghai County now. As long as he isn’t completely crazy, he won’t sacrifice the entire Fenghai County to the Red Moon…”

“In that case, if I can avoid Red Moon’s detection and enter the Immortal Forbidden, it will be a huge opportunity.” After Xu Qing thought about it, he instinctively transmitted his voice to the captain.

After all, Xu Qing felt that the captain was better at such things that were related to gods.

However, the captain was still in seclusion and didn’t respond.

Xu Qing suppressed the thoughts in his mind and chose to meditate. He needed to wait for the captain to come out of seclusion and discuss with him to see how to better proceed with the plan.

After all, it was too dangerous.

After Red Moon woke up, he wouldn’t be the only one in trouble. The captain had also plundered Its aura. Although It didn’t take the initiative to search for it, if It saw the captain in the Immortal Forbidden, It would probably slap him to death.

Just like that, time flowed by.

The time for the Immortal Forbidden to be opened was slowly approaching. The original Prison Department had already been completely dug out, revealing a huge, bottomless black pit from where dense anomalous substances spread out.

Although these anomalous substances were dispersed by the soldiers of the Imperial City with a special array formation, the array couldn’t block the wild shrieks and howls that came from the deep pit.

It was as though there was a hell at the bottom of the deep pit.

The sound coming from inside spread throughout the entire county capital city. Regardless of day or night, all the beings in the city could hear it clearly. All of them were shocked and nervous.

Xu Qing had also been paying attention to the deep pit. It was only six days before the opening day that he finally received the captain’s voice transmission.

“Little Qing, hahahaha, I used the Dao Seal Decree to safely undo an extremely important seal. This way, I can really travel with you in this life!”

The captain’s voice was filled with excitement. When it entered Xu Qing’s mind, he could clearly sense the captain’s joy. Hence, he smiled and congratulated him. After that, he quickly told him the information he had organized earlier.

The captain was originally laughing, but his laughter was quickly replaced by heavy panting.

After Xu Qing finished speaking, the captain directly turned off the voice transmission.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. With a wave of his hand, he opened the door of his Sword Pavilion and began to count silently.

“One, two, three… seven.”

The captain’s skinny figure with disheveled hair appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. His speed was almost at the Nascent Soul realm. With a whoosh, he headed straight for the Sword Pavilion, stirring up a strong wind that spread out. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of Xu Qing’s Sword Pavilion.

The captain didn’t stop at all and directly walked in. He then closed the door and stared straight at Xu Qing, his eyes revealing ecstasy.

“Junior Brother, you knew that after I opened, I would be in a hungry state, so you specially prepared such a big gift for me.”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. Although the captain looked incomparably skinny and looked like a hungry ghost, the strength of his aura far surpassed what it was in the past.

Originally, in the western war zone, the strength displayed by the captain was only about seven to eight Heavenly Palaces. However, now, in Xu Qing’s perception, the other party was infinitely close to the Nascent Soul realm. He seemed to be only half a step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, there seemed to be more to his strength than that.

Clearly, the Ancient Dao Seal Decree that the captain had exchanged for was extremely useful to him.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t too surprised. The captain had always been like this.

He looked into the captain’s eyes and nodded seriously.

“That’s right, Eldest Senior Brother. I guessed that your breakthrough this time would have a different outcome, so I racked my brains to help you think about great tasks.”

The captain laughed loudly and was very satisfied with Xu Qing’s attitude. This made him feel like he was the eldest senior brother again. Hence, he lifted his hands and rubbed them as he walked around Xu Qing’s Sword Pavilion.

“Junior Brother, this is a peerless opportunity bestowed by the heavens. After the Red Moon descends and devours the Immortal Forbidden’s god, after They finish their dogfight, we…”

“We can plunder more in the Immortal Forbidden.” Xu Qing nodded.

The captain revealed a look of dissatisfaction and glanced at Xu Qing.

“Little Qing, you’ve been with small fries for a long time. Why don’t you have any ambitions? How can those little trash items from the Immortal Forbidden be worthy of our status as the fathers of the Heavenly Dao!”

“This time, we have to plan to snatch a piece of the Immortal Forbidden’s god’s flesh when the two gods are fighting. From what you said, the Immortal Forbidden’s god is a little weak but It’s still a god. Let’s secretly snatch a piece from Red Moon’s mouth. If we succeed, that will be truly impressive!!”

The captain’s eyes turned red.

When Xu Qing heard this, his breathing became hurried and his eyes also turned red. In reality, he wanted to do the same but it was unrealistic. Hence, he suppressed the waves in his mind and calmly spoke.

“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s impossible for the two of us to accomplish it by ourselves. Besides, if we don’t handle it well, not only will we lose our lives, but the Imperial City’s plan will also be disrupted and it will affect Fenghai County. So, we can’t be greedy.”

The captain also frowned and fell silent.

“What you said makes sense. At the end of the day, we’re too weak. Sigh, we can’t eat this fat meat in front of us…” The captain was a little irritated. In the end, he sat in front of Xu Qing and let out a long sigh, wanting to speak.

However, at the next instant, his eyes suddenly widened and he slapped his thigh.

“Yes!”

“Junior Brother, we’ll look for Master!”

“I’m telling you, when the old man was young, he was a pioneer in doing these things. How did I end up like this? It’s all because he used to take me along a few times. Although I can be impulsive at times, I believe it’s all the old man’s influence that corrupted me!”

Xu Qing abruptly lifted his head, his eyes revealing an intense light.

The light in the captain’s eyes was equally bright. The two of them looked at each other and the light in their eyes became even brighter.

“Master?”

“That’s right!”

“I haven’t seen the old man in a while. The last time I saw Ancestor Xue Lianzi, I asked about him. The old man’s cultivation seems to have broken through again. This doesn’t make sense!”

“The old man’s cultivation improved so quickly. He must have secretly eaten something behind our backs!”

The captain slapped his thigh fiercely again, looking like his parents had eaten good food behind his back before he realized it.
