887 The Divine Power of Misfortune (4)

Duanmu Zang’s return accelerated the city’s recovery, and gradually, the array was repaired and activated in a simplified manner.

As the protective barrier enveloped them, cheers rang out from more than 100,000 humans. Ling’er was equally excited.

To humans who lived in the abandoned mine and would become food of the other races at times, this was a long-lost sense of security.

Looking at all of this, Xu Qing, sitting on the city wall, felt a sense of blessing in his heart. Then, he gazed towards the distant horizon. He was about to leave.

“It’s a pity that I still have no way to undo the curse for them.”

As Xu Qing muttered inwardly, he looked to the side.

Duanmu Zang’s blurry figure was revealed there. After it gradually became clear, he threw a flask of wine to Xu Qing and sat at the side. He looked at the crowd with a rueful expression.

“Xu Qing, thank you.”

A long time later, he looked at Xu Qing and spoke softly.

Xu Qing shook his head and drank the wine.

“This is what I should do.”

Duanmu Zang’s gaze was deep as he glanced at Xu Qing. He didn’t continue this topic or ask about what he had seen back then. He had automatically chosen to forget those things.

This was because he knew that everyone had their own secrets. There were some things that couldn’t be asked or probed.

“By the way, I’ve helped you find out about the Door Walkers. Most of their tracks are now gathered in the central area of the eastern region, which is the place where the Red Moon Shrine is waiting for the various races to send the tributes.”

“After all, to the Door Walkers, this is the peak season for them to do business.”

Duanmu Zang took a sip of wine and spoke.

Xu Qing nodded. Previously, he had asked Duanmu Zang about a large-scale teleportation array. He wanted to go to the Heavenly Bull Mountain and this mountain was located in the southern part of the Moon Worship Region.

It was extremely far away from here.

After Xu Qing arrived at the Heavenly Fire Sea, he had never seen a teleportation array like the ones in Fenghai County. Even this holy city didn’t have one. There were only some teleportation talismans and other similar items but most of them teleported randomly.

Therefore, he had asked Duanmu Zang about it. The other party said that only large races could control fixed teleportation arrays in the Moon Worship Region.

Generally speaking, if one wanted to teleport in this region, they needed the help of the Door Walkers.

Door Walkers were a special race, and they were born with a door accompanying them. This race did not have a fixed place of residence, and each member, upon reaching adulthood, ventured out to travel the vast region.

The talent of this race was to imprint the places they had been to on their doors and allow people to use them to teleport.

Depending on the strength of their cultivation, the range they could teleport to would also be different.

This was the livelihood of their tribe. Whenever the Red Moon Shrine began collecting offerings, those races without teleportation arrays became customers of the Door Walkers.

“So, you can travel with me to the east. I’m also planning to set out soon to deliver those offerings to the temple.”

Xu Qing fell silent. If there was no teleportation array from here to the Heavenly Bull Mountain, the time he would have to waste would be very long. Moreover, there might be some unknown changes in the process.

Moreover, the time he had agreed on with Eldest Senior Brother had already been exceeded.

They couldn’t contact each other either. Hence, after some thought, Xu Qing sensed the Purple Moon in his body. He recalled that when he saw the temple earlier, the other party didn’t sense him, so he nodded.

Just like that, three days later, in the morning, Xu Qing brought Ling’er and set off with Duanmu Zang’s convoy.

The moment they left the city, more than 100,000 people in the city walked out in unison and knelt down in front of Xu Qing from afar.

Their eyes were filled with blessings. They prayed that Xu Qing would have a safe journey.

Xu Qing turned his head and stared behind him. He then cupped his fists and bowed.

The sky was dark and the sandstorm swept up, blocking one’s vision. However, it couldn’t isolate the hope that rose in this city.

Xu Qing turned and left with the convoy.

In the strong wind, Duanmu Zang’s hoarse voice blew over.

“Xu Qing, there’s a legend in the Moon Worship Region. Legend has it that because of the existence of the curse, the souls of all living beings who died won’t enter reincarnation but return to the Red Moon Shrine.”

“After the Crimson Goddess comes and enjoys the offerings, these souls will be used as seeds to reincarnate again.”

“This is why this place is known as the Red Moon Spirit Enclosure. Those who live in this region have to endure pain for generations and won’t be able to escape the Moon Worship.”

“So… although Panyan is dead, her soul might still be in the temple.”
