Outside Of Time

Chapter 1114 Returning to Fenghai

?1114 Returning to Fenghai

The darkness had long filled the world.

Countless stars broke through the night, casting their light onto the vast river outside the Moon Offering Region. With the clear surface of the water, the starry sky was reflected beautifully.

From afar, it looked like the starry sky had fallen to the mortal world, making it impossible to distinguish the sky and land.

This was the Sacrificial Yin River. In the past, the river was as red as blood, burying countless skeletons, and harboring bizarre river spirits. Now that the Red Moon had disappeared and the curse had dissipated, the appearance of the river changed drastically.

All strangeness dissipated, all constraints disappeared, leaving only the slow infiltration of dampness in the air, diffusing a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.

At that moment, a large ship was sailing down the river, heading toward the Holy Wave Large Region.

On the ship, Wu Jianwu sat on the protruding mast, silently gazing into the distance. There, a small boat was sailing away.

Looking at the shadow of the boat, Wu Jianwuʼs expression was melancholic and filled with bitterness.

Below the mast was Ning Yan.

He held a piece of rag in his hand and sat on the deck of the ship, instinctively wiping his surroundings clean.

Originally, he wasnʼt a clean freak, but the trip to the Moon Offering instilled a good habit in him. He couldnʼt stand to see any dust around him…

Now that he was done wiping, Ning Yan looked up at Wu Jianwu. He wanted to make a sarcastic remark but when he thought of the other partyʼs state, he shook his head.

He knew why the other party was like this. Six hours ago, they were still in the apothecary in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Because of the matter in Fenghai County, they were on this ship six hours later.

Coincidentally, not long after the ship set sail, they encountered a small boat. On that small boat, a woman sat cross-legged. She once had a name – Yunxia.

Wu Jianwu saw her, and so did she.

After their eyes met, Yunxia closed her eyes.

”To ask what love is in this world…” sighed Ning Yan.

”Itʼs just a matter of who says it first!” Wu Jianwu roared to the sky, took out a jug of wine, and drank it in one gulp. However, a few drops spilled onto the deck, causing Ning Yanʼs displeasure. Instinctively, he wiped it away with the rag.

At the same time, at the bow of the ship, Xu Qing sat cross-

legged, looking hesitant. The captain leaned against the railing, shaking his head, alternately scrutinizing Xu Qing and surveying the river, making clicking sounds with his tongue.

”Little Qing, it seems like someone doesnʼt want you to leave so quickly.”

”But itʼs fine. Lingʼer isnʼt here, haha.”

The more the captain spoke, the brighter his eyes became. He was filled with anticipation for what would happen next.

Lingʼer was indeed not on this ship, nor was the old man from Panquan Road.

It wasnʼt that Lingʼer didnʼt want to follow Xu Qing back to Fenghai County, but the fusion of Ancient Spirit Emperorʼs imperial qi caused her to fall into a deep sleep. She needed some time to digest it.

It was like a closed-door cultivation. It wasnʼt suitable for her to be disturbed.

Hence, Xu Qing left Lingʼer at the apothecary. The old man from Panquan Road naturally chose to stay as well.

Nether Fairy also stayed behind.

She naturally wasnʼt doing it for Lingʼer but instinctively didnʼt want to return to Fenghai County.

Hence, there were only Xu Qing and the other three on this ship.

At that moment, the captainʼs words echoed. Xu Qing frowned. He knew what the captain meant. In reality, the ship they were on was a gift from the heir. It could cross large regions and greatly shorten the time needed to return to Fenghai County.

However, the moment it set sail, a large amount of clay silently appeared on the surface of the ship.

More and more clay appeared out of thin air, and they possessed divine power, causing the speed of the ship to be severely dragged down.

As for ninth grandfather, ever since he said those words in the apothecary, he had disappeared without a trace. Even though the ship was affected, he didnʼt appear.

This situation allowed Xu Qing to understand who was the one who affected this ship…

His guess quickly became reality.

As more and more clay appeared around the ship, after about fifteen minutes, the entire ship slowly stopped on the river.

”Sheʼs here!”

The captainʼs eyes lit up.

Xu Qing also lifted his head.

The moment the ship stopped, all the clay on it quickly fell off and gathered on the river in front of the ship, gradually forming a tall clay fox.

Although this clay fox was formed from clay, it emitted a rainbow light, giving off a holy feeling. One might even subconsciously feel the urge to worship it from the bottom of their hearts.

This was a god.

With Its appearance, the river seemed to have stopped and there were no waves. The sky also dimmed, not daring to fight for brilliance.

It was as though the clay fox on the river was the only thing left in this world.

It was the source of everything.

Wu Jianwuʼs body fell from the mast with a plop. He was scared half to death. Ning Yan wasnʼt much better either. He was trembling and his face was filled with horror.

They didnʼt know of the existence of the clay fox.

Only the captainʼs anticipation reached its peak at this moment. Under his unblinking gaze, the clay fox on the river slowly opened Its eyes.

A pair of phoenix eyes, exuding a captivating charm and a seductive allure, appeared between heaven and earth, disregarding Erniu and looking at Xu Qing.

”Stinky brother, why did you leave so quickly? Why didnʼt you bid farewell to me?”

”Have you forgotten about Sister?”

A gentle sound permeated the world. The laws retreated and the rules seemed to become non-existent. Spacetime was also affected, forming the four seasons in all directions. There were even suns, moons, and stars that rapidly rotated.

Divine fire spread throughout Her body, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

It distorted everything and the anomalous substances tainted the sky.

It was obvious that the clay fox was even stronger than during the divine battle.

Clearly, the flesh of Crimson Goddess was quite significant to Her.

Seeing this, the captain coughed and hurriedly spoke.

”Big Sister, actually, I…”

”Kidney, shut up. Say one more word, and Iʼll take out both of your kidneys.” The clay fox voiced with a smiling expression, Her voice still charming.

The captain was somewhat frightened. He took a deep breath and quickly shut his mouth.

Xu Qing hesitated and was about to speak when the clay fox chuckled and cast a meaningful glance at Xu Qing.

”Stinky brother, the moment Li Zihua became a god, he saw the future. Do you think when I became a god back then, I also saw the future?”

Xu Qingʼs expression changed.

However, that clay fox was already slowly turning blurry until She vanished into the world. Only Her coquettish voice could be heard echoing in all directions.

”Preserve your yang essence well. When you have time, you must come to the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race to play with me.”

The voice gradually dissipated and the world returned to normal.

Very soon, under Ning Yanʼs shock, Wu Jianwuʼs horror, and the captainʼs muttering, the vessel also began to blur. With a hum, it disappeared from the surface of the river. At an astonishing speed, it shuttled through the void and stepped into the Holy Wave Large Region, heading straight for Fenghai County.

Above this ship, in the heavens of the Holy Wave Large Region, the starry sky was exceptionally clear. The distant stars flickered like fine flowers spreading out. At that moment, on a cluster of star flowers, a figure was walking forward with the vessel that had fused into the void.

He wore a black robe and had black hair.

His gaze were like stars, his body was like a sword, and his soul was like ice. He was none other than Old Ninth.
