831 New Disciple of the Yin Yang Flower Sect, Xu Qing (2)
Xu Qing nodded and didn’t say anything else. With a sway of his body, he directly stepped onto the old woman’s back and looked into the distance.
The others also quickly boarded. Very soon, as the lantern in the old woman’s hand flickered, the black robes that were like sails in the surroundings instantly fluttered. Her figure sped away on the river.
The range of the Sacrificial Yin River wasn’t small and it was also extremely wide. With the speed of Xu Qing’s spirit liner, it took him five days to cross half of it.
During this time, they encountered some dangers. However, under the probing of the replica of the Seven Blood Eyes’ magic treasure, they avoided most of them.
However, there would still be some unexpected situations.
For example, at that moment, countless bloody-red long hair rushed out of the river and coiled around the spirit liner, and also rapidly spread toward Xu Qing and the others.
However, Xu Qing and the captain didn’t need to make a move.
Wu Jianwu had been waiting for a long time to show off his skills. He flicked his sleeve and dozens of ferocious beasts appeared around him.
Some of these ferocious beasts flew into the sky, some rushed into the river, and there was even a parrot that let out an ear-piercing cry. It spread its wings and landed on the top of Wu Jianwu’s head.
The parrot raised its head proudly, resembling a rod, and looked around, its human-like voice echoing.
“My father roams the world, who among the immortals dares not to submit!”
Wu Jianwu had a proud expression as he calmly spoke.
“The Wu family has eight hundred sons, who in the vast world dares to be wild!”
Xu Qing’s expression turned strange, Ling’er’s eyes opened wide, Ning Yan gasped, and the captain’s eyes lit up.
As Wu Jianwu spoke, another bear flew out of his sleeve. With a sway of its body, it transformed into hundreds of feet tall and stood in front of Wu Jianwu, roaring.
The sound was like thunder rumbling. It stretched out its arms and grabbed the hair that was spreading over, tearing them apart.
Each of those fierce beasts was quite extraordinary. Although their appearances were diverse, there seemed to be a common ancestry in their bloodlines. They coordinated perfectly with each other and disregarded the differences between them. It appeared as if their bloodline was of a significant level.
Very soon, under their attacks, some of the hair shattered and returned to the river.
With an air of pride, Wu Jianwu stood tall, and the parrot on his head also raised its head vigorously. The movement seemed rather awkward, but it was clear that they had practiced this many times and had become accustomed to it.
At that moment, they opened their mouths at the same time and were about to say their lines.
However, the danger wasn’t resolved. The entire river suddenly churned intensely and the smell of blood became even more intense. Countless blood red long hair rushed out of the river and headed straight for the air.
In the blink of an eye, the hair formed a huge figure that was thousands of feet tall. This figure only had an outline and no flesh and blood.
It looked like a skeleton and emitted a terrifying pressure.
It looked down at Xu Qing and the others.
“Tribute!”
A blurry sound accompanied by a deep roar rang out from the mouth of the huge blood-colored figure. As it echoed through the world, the blood river in the surroundings also began to churn. A second one, a third one, a fourth one…
A total of 37 similar figures appeared one after another and surrounded Xu Qing and the others.
After each of them appeared, they would say the same word.
“These are the river spirits of the Sacrificial Yin River, and it’s a custom here to offer tributes,” the captain explained, well-prepared for this. With a wave of his hand, he tossed a storage bag into the river.
As for what was inside, Xu Qing didn’t know. However, as the storage bag landed, these figures slowly blurred until more than half of them disappeared.
As for the remaining few, just as they were about to dissipate, they suddenly looked at Ning Yan at the same time.
“Tribute!”
Ning Yan’s expression changed.
The captain also frowned. He knew that Ning Yan’s bloodline wasn’t ordinary, but he didn’t expect that it would cause the river spirits to ask for tributes a second time.
“I wonder if the river spirits are delicious…” The captain looked around and felt that there might be more river spirits here, so he sighed.
Fortunately, he was very well-prepared this time around. Although he wasn’t happy, he still took out another storage bag. Just as he was about to throw it out, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
“Senior Brother, let me try?”
The captain fell silent and nodded.
“Alright, the tributes I prepared have their uses in the Moon Worship Region as well.”
Xu Qing took a few steps forward and looked at the blood-colored figures in front of him, and calmly spoke.
“Make way.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes revealed a purple light. The Purple Moon Nascent Soul in his body opened its eyes at this instant and displayed its might. It transformed into a manifestation of level and descended with a hint of divine authority.
In an instant, the fluctuations of the Sacrificial Yin River fell silent and the wind seemed to pause. Everything seemed to have frozen the moment Xu Qing’s Purple Moon power appeared.
The few river spirits suddenly trembled and quickly lowered their heads, kneeling down.
“Greetings, divine envoy.”
The same voice rang out from the surroundings as more river spirits appeared.
From dozens to hundreds, until there were thousands of them, and even more continued to appear.
They all knelt down respectfully.
Although Ning Yan was prepared for this scene, his heart still raced.
Ling’er’s eyes widened in confusion. The captain was beaming with joy as he thought to himself that with Little Qing around, the chances of success in this trip to the Moon Worship Region would be infinitely great.
As for Wu Jianwu, he gasped. The parrot on his head also trembled and forgot to maintain its posture of raising its head.
Just like that, after a short period of silence in the surroundings, Xu Qing’s calm voice echoed out.
“Escort.”
“We obey the god’s decree!”
The human-shaped river spirits formed by bloody red long hair spoke at the same time. They walked over one by one and surrounded Xu Qing’s spirit liner. Their presence was overwhelming, exuding a tremendous aura, as they provided an escort forward.
