The sky of the imperial capital was like spilled ink, showing a dim and monotonous color.
The setting sun gradually sets in the west, and the afterglow has lost most of its luster and is just as dim.
The only light shone on the earth, covering everything in gray, as if the whole world was immersed in depression.
The clouds in the sky are also in this atmosphere, seeming to merge into one with the sky, regardless of each other.
The pedestrians on the street looked in a hurry. They did not know the specific imperial edict, but when they saw the bloody black bird, they also guessed that a catastrophe might be coming.
Especially the movement of the army made this speculation become a reality.
The human race in this era is miserable.
As a result, darkness became the dominant color of the human race's world. Gradually it became pitch black, with thunder passing through the darkness, as if a heavy rain was about to come.
Although the wind blowing no longer contains the coldness of midwinter, the seasonal changes brought by it also remind people that spring is coming, but when it falls on people, it seems...even colder than winter.
Xu Qing also felt it, but had adapted to it.
Standing outside Hongchen Wangqing Building, listening to the voice of the mud fox in his ears, he was not surprised.
He knows more about the temperament of gods than ordinary people.
But this time he came, he had other purposes.
"The red mother has died."
Xu Qing spoke calmly.
"Of course I know, bratty brother, what do you want to say?"
Mud Fox chuckled, with a hint of temptation in his voice.
"But the red moon is still there."
As soon as Xu Qing's voice came out, a wave of waves spread out from the Wangqing Building in front of him.
Xu Qing looked normal and continued to speak.
"I can feel that the red moon is returning."
"I robbed Chi Mu of her authority, so my perception will not be wrong. Soon, the red moon will appear in the sky of Wanggu Continent. The person standing on the red moon at that time may be Li Zihua or someone else.
"
"No matter who it is... He will choose to be whole, and we who are part of the flesh and blood of the Red Mother may be His direction."
"It's like a seed that grows and is harvested again."
Xu Qing's voice reached the Wangqing Tower, and after a while Ni Hu smiled.
"Smelly brother, your words are very interesting, but I don't see the future."
Xu Qing did not argue that the gods could see the future. His voice remained calm and reverberated.
"Chimu is Li Zihua's sister. They are acquired gods, which are different from innate gods."
"Like the fifth prince, he knows that I am right to kill the seventh child because of his righteousness, but as an elder brother, he still wants to fight with me. If I also have an elder brother, he will not stop others from killing me, but after I die,
I think he would also take action to cut off the cause and effect in order to have clear thoughts."
Mud Fox was silent, as if he was thinking. After a while, his voice became less seductive and more formal.
"A very interesting inference. Although it is unlikely, it sounds somewhat reasonable. So... what do you want when you come to me?"
Xu Qing bowed and bowed.
"Please Lord Xingyan, give me a qualification to participate in the Yanyue Xuantian Clan's great hunt."
"It's true that I'm interested in you. You bratty brother is really funny sometimes. You can actually think of this way to break the situation."
The mud fox smiled.
"If you can obtain the title of Xuantian General in the Yanyue Xuantian Clan's great hunt, then you will have an honorary status in the Yanyue Clan."
"And every Xuantian general who appears in the great hunt has an opportunity to propose rewards to the three major powers."
"Through this opportunity, do you plan to prevent the Yanyue Xuantian Clan from fighting with the human race? This possibility is impossible."
Mud Fox's voice was filled with ridicule. To him, life is just a flower.
Xu Qing shook his head.
"If I were successful, I would not make this request."
"Then what is your request?"
Mud Fox was a little curious.
"After you succeed, God will naturally know."
Xu Qing looked at Wangqing Tower and spoke softly.
Laughter came from inside the building.
"You are a bad brother, but for the sake of your Yuanyang, I can satisfy your request."
As he spoke, a pink rainbow light flew out from the building, went straight to Xu Qing, stopped in front of him, and overflowed with light, turning into a pink token.
On the front, a figure of a fox is depicted, and on the back is a landscape of mountains and rivers.
Xu Qing took it and looked at it. At the same time, a lazy voice came from the Wangqing Building.
"By the way, I can also tell you about the big hunt in advance. You must know that this is my sister's preference for you. If it were anyone else, I would not tell you."
The charm of Mud Fox's voice became stronger at this moment.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, folded his hands and listened intently. He knew that the following information was very important to him.
Because it is indeed as he stated before, what he needs for his arrival this time is this qualification.
As for returning to the Sacrificial Moon Territory, Xu Qing does not plan to make it the main thing for this trip. Based on his relationship with the Crown Prince and others, if he pleads, there is a high probability that he will be able to take action in the end.
But he had to consider the wishes of the crown prince and others, so Xu Qing's plan was to find a solution on his own first, and if that didn't work, then go to the moon.
In addition, there is another reason why Xu Qing chose to go to the Yanyue Xuantian Clan.
That is Ning Yan's contribution.
Only if Ning Yan becomes the crown prince, will he have the opportunity to enter the ancestral star and obtain the Zixuan Shangqing Lantern.
Therefore, Xu Qing felt that Ning Yan's military exploits alone when he went to the Black Sky Clan were not enough.
If the resolution of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan is included, then for Ning Yan, this contribution will be extremely great.
As Xu Qing's thoughts filled the air, the voice of the mud fox floated out.
"The Yanyue Xuantian Clan's great hunt is divided into three links this time. If you want to become a Xuantian General, you must be number one in at least one link. If you can be number one in all three links, then you will be canonized.
He is not an ordinary Xuantian general."
"But Da Xuantian!"
There was also a hint of expectation in Ni Hu's tone.
"It has been many years since Da Xuantian appeared."
"Now the first part of the hunt is underway, which lasts for half a year, and is already halfway through."
"The first step is to move mountains."
"It's not an ordinary mountain, it's a forbidden mountain."
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"Forbidden Mountain?"
"That's right, whether it is within the Yanyue Clan's sphere of influence or outside its sphere of influence, all mountains that appear in the restricted area can be used."
Mud Fox laughed.
"A Forbidden Mountain meets the requirements, but it is only the minimum requirement. If you want to be the first, then the Forbidden Mountain you obtain must surpass everyone else."
"At the same time, during the link, you have to move the Forbidden Mountain to the sacred mountain and city in Yanyue, where you will integrate the mountain into it before it is complete."
"During this period...all participants can kill each other and plunder each other, regardless of life or death."
When the mud fox said this, he paused slightly, and his simple words also revealed bloody meanings.
Xu Qing nodded, and Ni Hu continued to speak.
"As for the second link, it's even more interesting. It's called hunting."
"There are several divine creatures in Yanyue Xuantian Clan, some are strong and some are weak. Taming a Xuantian mount that belongs to you is the requirement of this second step."
"The more powerful the divine beast is, the more difficult it is to tame it. It's easy to imagine how difficult it is to be number one. If you don't pay attention, it may become a ration."
"So, little bratty brother, you have to think clearly. Before you give Yuanyang to me, you will be gone, and during the big hunting, even I can't interfere."
When Xu Qing heard this, he thought deeply. The requirements of this link are somewhat special.
"The third link is simple, but it is also the most important."
In the ancestral hall, Mud Fox licked his lips, with a strange light in his eyes.
"That's the hunting realm!"
"At that time, my two sisters and I will take action together to tear apart the entrance to a divine realm."
"As for which divine realm it is, I can't tell you, but I think... you might like it better there."
Mud Fox chuckled.
"After the rift is torn out in the divine realm, all participants will break in and kill the number and identity of the creatures in the divine realm as a measure."
"The more you kill, the more likely you are to win, but at the same time, it is the domain of God... so in every big hunt, more than 80% of the participants will actually die."
"There are also some that will be invaded and transformed into divine meat. These divine meats can feed my little cuties very well. Occasionally, if there is something particularly delicious, I will take a bite."
"This is a banquet, a banquet prepared for the pleasure of the gods. If you go to participate, I will watch this banquet more carefully."
"But I don't want to see others eating your flesh after you die, so... I may use my divine power to monopolize your flesh."
"Smelly brother, what do you think of this proposal?"
Mud Fox's voice was gentle, but the meaning of his words was terrifying.
Xu Qing didn't pay attention and nodded.
"Can."
In the ancestral hall, the clay fox smiled delicately, the shrine trembled with laughter, dust fell from his body, the ancestral hall shook with laughter, and the light in his eyes became brighter. Finally, he licked his lips and spoke softly.
"This time it's true, little brother, I find... I like you more and more."
Xu Qing glanced at Hongchen Wangqinglou. He had experienced similar words and similar feelings with Yanyan before. Even in comparison, this mud fox was still more conservative.
Apart from the strength of his abilities, to a certain extent, there is still a big gap between him and Yanyan.
So Xu Qing didn't say anything, handed over his hands, turned around and left. In this completely dark sky, his figure gradually disappeared into the night, blending into the night, leaving no trace and unable to distinguish each other.
For a long time, in the dark and relatively silent imperial capital, in the ancestral hall of the sealed Red Dust and Forgetfulness Building, the clay fox on the shrine raised its head slightly and looked into the distance.
"Second sister fell in love with someone back then. I don't know what it felt like."
