Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that the other party wasn't willing to continue this topic, so he didn't ask anything.
He understood that Duanmu Zang should be a member of this Moon Rebel Hall. For him to say these things in front of him, it was enough to show that Duanmu Zang trusted him.
Hence, Xu Qing repeatedly pondered over what Duanmu Zang had said.
Just like that, days passed.
Eight days later, their convoy finally arrived at the center of the eastern area. From afar, a huge valley was reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.
The mountain ranges on both sides were astonishing, surpassing all the mountains Xu Qing had seen in the past. Strange and jagged rocks adorned their surfaces, and in the dim light of the sky, they seemed to harbor all manner of eerie and mystical creatures.
The valley formed by the depression in the middle was like the entrance to the netherworld. When the wind blew over, it seemed to carry shrieks and howls.
A huge blood-red heart was floating above the valley.
It was beating and the thumping sound spread out, adding an even stranger atmosphere to the gloomy valley, putting a blood-red veil on it.
As for the statue and the palace on the heart, they emitted an astonishing deterrence.
There were also many meteorites floating in the surroundings. The figure sitting cross-legged on them was the same as what Xu Qing had seen before, motionless.
As for the ground, there were doors of different shapes and materials standing there. Some were large and some were small. They surrounded the surroundings and waves of teleportation fluctuations kept spreading out from these doors.
There were people walking out and leaving from those doors at all times.
As a result, there was an endless stream of people in the valley. There were many strange races inside. Some had material bodies, and some were illusory.
However, most of them wore the same mask as Duanmu Zang.
These were all races in the eastern part of the Moon Worship Region. They had brought their tributes here to offer to the Red Moon Shrine.
"Those doors are the Door Walkers."
"Xu Qing, you can go and communicate with them. Most of them can teleport you to the south. As for the fees, spirit stones and heavenly fire crystals can be used."
"As for the temple in the sky, don't look straight at it."
As they got closer, Duanmu Zang spoke in a low voice.
As a local, he was very familiar with the process here. After reminding Xu Qing, his expression was filled with emotion as he spoke solemnly.
"Lastly, I wish you a safe journey!"
With that, Duanmu Zang left with the convoy.
Watching as Duanmu Zang's figure disappeared into the crowd, Xu Qing took a deep breath and also walked into the crowd.
There were many cultivators from various races here and people came and went. Although the temple was floating above them, it didn't care about the people below. As long as one paid the tributes, everything would be autonomous.
After the number of people increased, the valley started to give off a lively feeling. Occasionally, one could see some races trading and there was quite a lot of noise.
As he walked among them, Xu Qing didn't choose those large doors. His target was on some small doors and very soon, he locked onto a wooden door that was more than ten feet tall. He noticed that there was no one there and was about to go over.
However, the commotion in the surroundings caused Xu Qing to stop in his tracks.
"You guys heard, right? Something major happened in the west!"
"You're talking about the event that happened in the Lone Sun Race in the west five months ago, right? They seem to have issued a wanted list throughout the entire region."
"I heard about this too. It seems like they lost a supreme treasure."
"What supreme treasure, it's the sun they created themselves!"
"As the largest race in the west, didn't the Lone Sun Race create a sun that stayed above their territory many years ago, causing that area to no longer be dark? However, five months ago, this sun was stolen…"
"Stealing their sun under their very eyes? This is too crazy. Which race did it?"
"I'm not sure. It seems that even the Lone Sun Race is puzzled. However, there's a name mentioned in the wanted list: Weiqing Jianyan. That thief is extremely arrogant. This is the name he carved on the ground before he left, but no matter how I look at it, this name is very strange."
"This Weiqing Jianyan has already become famous."
These voices rang out from afar, accompanied by exclamations and gasps. When they entered Xu Qing's ears, a strange expression appeared on his face under the mask.
He instinctively felt that this was done by his captain.
"Weiqing Jianyan?"
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly. He recalled that when he parted ways with the captain, the other party had proudly told him that he would definitely be able to hear his name in the future.
This name just so happened to be formed from the combination of the captain's alias, Wei Yangzi, as well as the names of Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan, in addition to his Qing.
The captain's well-intentioned efforts seemed to be reflected in these four words. Even though Xu Qing didn't participate, he still included Xu Qing's name.
Xu Qing sighed and walked toward the wooden door in front.
Meanwhile, in the sky above the valley, above the pulsating heart, a woman in red emerged from the palace. Her expression was one of lingering satisfaction as she lowered her head to gaze at the earth, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
"The murderous aura on the kid's body is even stronger."
Behind her, everyone in the temple, including the divine envoy, was sitting cross-legged and motionless like statues.
No one in the valley could sense anything in the sky. Even though the woman's figure was clear, no one could sense her even if they lifted their heads.
Everyone's perception had been silently changed.
In Xu Qing's D132, the god's finger, which was covered in curses and was retching, paused. Immediately after, It pretended not to see this and continued retching.
Xu Qing also didn't notice it. At that moment, he walked toward the wooden door in front of him and left after communicating. The other party didn't have the coordinates to the south.
