Meanwhile, Wu Jianwu's face was filled with anticipation. The captain didn't show favoritism and also gave him a pat. His appearance was obscured as he transformed into a young boy.
Seeing the changes in the captain and the other two, Xu Qing wasn't surprised. As the captain unlocked more seals, he gradually had a wide range of methods.
"Junior Brother, I've also prepared your identity for you."
The captain threw a jade slip to Xu Qing.
"From now on, you are a wandering disciple of the Yin Yang Flower Sect in the Moon Worship Region. Your name is Tian Qingzi."
"This is an identity jade slip that can be used as a travel permit. In the chaotic lands of the Moon Worship Region, every country and race requires a travel permit to travel anywhere. The Yin Yang Flower Sect holds a significant position here, responsible for the ceremonial dances of the Red Moon Temple. So, they're a major sect and are quite influential!""
Xu Qing glanced at the captain and took the jade slip. He could sense that the captain was extremely well-prepared this time. The other party must be determined to devour the Red Moon's heart.
"Then we'll separate here first. After that, we'll meet at the Unending Heavenly Bull Mountain. No matter who arrives first, we'll wait for the other for a period of time."
"If the other party doesn't come, we'll hide and head to the place the other party went to search."
After saying that, the captain raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion in the void. A fan appeared and he flicked it open with a swish. He casually waved it a few times, exuding an air of leisure and contentment.
"Junior Brother, remember, my current identity is called Wei Yangzi[1]. I'm also a disciple of the Yin Yang Flower Sect, your eldest senior brother! In the next few months, this name will definitely be famous in the Moon Worship Region. You'll probably hear it on the way."
"Let's go!" The captain exclaimed, waving his hand at Xu Qing. Amidst Xu Qing's farewell bow, he, along with Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu, walked off into the distance.
Ning Yan was a little reluctant. From time to time, he would turn his head and look at Xu Qing with a helpless expression.
Xu Qing pretended not to see it and sent the three of them off.
The captain walked for more than 100 feet and stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have thought of something as he turned around and shouted.
"Little Qing, that Yin Yang Flower Sect, you can consider visiting it when you have the time. The identity is genuine. This sect emphasizes the balance between Yin and Yang, complementing each other. I think you can really learn a lot there. With your talent, you should be able to learn quickly. This way, in case you encounter any demoness, you'll have self-defense skills and won't be taken advantage of!"
When Ling'er heard this, she hurriedly crawled out of Xu Qing's collar and spoke loudly.
"With me around, Brother Xu Qing won't be taken advantage of by any demoness!"
Seeing that the captain was about to speak, Xu Qing expressionlessly took out a peach and took a bite.
The captain glared and mumbled a few words before pulling the two people beside him away.
Xu Qing watched them leave until the captain and the other two disappeared into the night. Ling'er's expression was filled with anticipation as she spoke shyly.
"Brother Xu Qing, can this be considered our date?"
Xu Qing smiled and nodded. With a sway of his body, he headed straight for the distance. His appearance had also changed. It wasn't so outstanding and had become much more ordinary.
Just like that, time flowed by.
The night passed.
That night, Xu Qing sped through the land of the Moon Worship Region. He saw many skeletons on the ground, including those of various races. Most of them had died from the eruption of anomalous substances.
There were also some who died in battles.
All of this was within Xu Qing's expectations. The special environment in the Moon Worship Region caused this place to be filled with death and malice.
There were even a few areas where Xu Qing fell silent after seeing them.
They were pits of bones.
In an area near the shore, Xu Qing discovered dozens of huge pits with a range of 100,000 feet. Every pit was filled with countless bones.
From the scratches on the bones made by sharp weapons, it could be seen that the flesh and skin had been removed forcefully. Clearly, this made it easier to eat.
Ling'er remained silent.
Looking at these, Xu Qing silently left. The vigilance in his heart also increased endlessly. When morning arrived and a few dim artificial light bodies appeared in the sky, the ground was no longer pitch-black but a dim yellow color.
This color was the norm in the Moon Worship Region.
Xu Qing stood on a bare mountain peak and looked into the distance. After identifying his location, he took out the map jade slip his captain had given him and checked it.
"This area is called Little Altar. After a journey of half a month across this area, there's a place where two races have formed an alliance. Once I pass through there, I'll reach the Heavenly Fire Sea."
Xu Qing put away the jade slip and moved forward in the dim yellow sky.
Just like that, days passed.
Half a month later, Xu Qing, who had crossed the Little Altar and was about to enter the border of the two races' alliance, had a better understanding of the name of the area behind him.
There were over a thousand bone pits there. They were arranged in the shape of a crescent moon and at the center, there was an ancient altar the size of a city.
Xu Qing didn't get close, as even from afar, he could sense some remnant aura of the Red Moon there.
"Spirit Enclosure."
Xu Qing mumbled and stepped into the territory of the two races' alliance.
However, the instant he entered the border, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and looked ahead.
Very soon, dim lights appeared on the ground in front of him. Many irregular-shaped mirrors rose from the ground and shone at Xu Qing.
Most of these mirrors were as tall as a person. The mirrors were blurry and there were some cracks, but they still reflected Xu Qing's figure.
The strange thing was that Xu Qing's figure in these mirrors had malice in his eyes as he let out a cold voice.
"Permit!"
