921 It’s All the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s Fault (2)

Another figure also spoke in a low voice.

“As for that talented young master, he doesn’t have a high status among them, but I haven’t seen any signs of him being abducted. It seems he is traveling with them voluntarily.”

“Moreover, these people all have a curse on them. The possibility of them being from another region isn’t high, especially one of them who has a deep curse within, to the point where it could erupt at any moment.”

Hearing the words of the person beside her, Yunxia nodded.

“Pay attention to them. If they are indeed only here to stay and don’t have any ill intentions toward our sect, then you don’t have to care.”

“If…” The figure at the side hesitated.

“If they really have malicious intentions…” Yunxia stopped in her tracks and calmly spoke.

“Kill them and feed them to the dancing butterflies. As for that young master, give him a generous burial.”

“We respect the decree!” The two of them lowered their heads and agreed. Their figures then blurred and disappeared.

Just like that, seven days passed slowly.

Xu Qing and the group lived here quietly, without any unusual behavior. They were well-behaved, occasionally going out but not probing into secrets.

They also knew that their sudden arrival would definitely attract attention, although the sudden situation with Wu Jianwu had eased everything.

However, they weren’t disciples of this sect after all, so they could only stay below the halfway point of the first mountain peak.

The three of them couldn’t enter other places casually. Even if the sect master admired Wu Jianwu, she wouldn’t break the rules because of this.

However, being able to stay here was already the first step of Xu Qing and the captain’s plan.

This was because the spirit pool at the back of the mountain was open to all disciples. As long as they paid a certain amount of spirit stones, they could enter.

Xu Qing and the captain went there twice and silently sat down in the spirit pool. They each cultivated and suppressed the curse in their bodies as much as possible.

This curse was the excuse they had thought of on the way here.

If they wanted to lie, they had to place the real thing inside them. Only then could they hide the truth and create confusion.

Although the spirit pool didn’t have the ability to directly affect the curse, it could nourish the body. Hence, it could indirectly have a little effect.

There were actually many such places in the Moon Worship Region. This was one of the reasons why the Heavenly Bull Alliance was formed..

During this time, Xu Qing experienced a sense of dizziness and confusion again, each time when a large number of tiger-headed butterflies appeared. He also learned the name of these butterflies.

They were called dancing butterflies. They were the strange life forms that the Yin Yang Flower Sect needed for the ritual performance.

About his own moments of confusion, Xujing secretly informed the captain, who took it seriously and analyzed it with him for a long time, but they didn’t find any definitive answers.

Xu Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he didn’t say anything. However, he already attached great importance to this matter in his heart.

During these seven days, Xu Qing and the captain also sensed the variables in their plan.

That was that this sect master named Yunxia actually often stayed in the spirit pool.

With her around, even though Xu Qing and the captain had set up a very ingenious trap against Nether Fairy according to the plan, and wouldn’t emit any noticeable disturbances, they were still under her watchful eyes.

This way, it would be impossible for them not to be discovered.

It was less than a month before the day Nether Fairy came for the purification.

This made the captain anxious. Although he and Xu Qing had a backup plan, in the current situation, it was obvious that the effect would be better if Wu Jianwu put in some effort.

Hence, on the eighth day, the captain found Wu Jianwu and put an arm around his shoulder as he spoke in a low voice.

“Big Jianjian, this can’t go on.”

Wu Jianwu glanced at the captain from the corner of his eyes but didn’t speak. He had been very comfortable these few days and had a large number of poems in his mind.

The captain coughed and instigated.

“Big Jianjian, go seduce that sect master and lure her away from the spirit pool…”

Wu Jianwu sneered. After coming to this sect, his status was no longer the same among the three of them. At this moment, he proudly waved his hand and took out his son, the parrot, and placed it on his head.

He didn’t speak. The parrot lifted its chin and spoke on behalf of its father.

“What a childish method, it’s too obvious. Sect Master Yunxia is not a fool. Once my dad tries to seduce her, she will definitely have some suspicions in her heart.”

“At that time, she only needs to sense the spirit pool and she’ll capture you!”

“You guys have a death wish. That’s your business. My father and we won’t participate!”

The bird held its head high, its beak resembling a stick, and it observed people through the nostrils beneath its feathers.

The captain had a surprised expression.

“I didn’t say that after your father lured Yunxia away, we would make arrangements in the spirit pool.”

“We’ll do the opposite. When your father goes to seduce her, Yunxia will be suspicious and investigate, but she will find that everything is normal.”

“When this is repeated dozens of times, she will naturally not be so suspicious.”

“Don’t you agree?”

The parrot was stunned, and Wu Jianwu’s expression turned a little more serious.

“I’ll need some time to make the arrangements in the world fragment. As for placing it in the spirit pool and forming a concealment array formation, I only need six hours.”

The parrot lowered its head and secretly glanced at its father. Wu Jianwu looked somewhat hesitant. However, the captain understood Wu Jianwu too well. He went forward and persuaded him. As Wu Jianwu gradually wavered, the captain dealt the final blow.

“At worst, I will abandon my previous life body. I have other backup methods, namely the five ancient books of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. Well, you won’t be able to get your hands on them.”

“They describe many things about the ancient sovereign, including his early aspirations. Moreover, they were left behind in the form of poetry…”
