Chapter 853 There's a Kind of Lie Called Hope (4)

He was unable to leave the Moon Worship Region in this life. From the moment he was born, his fate was set. But when he was very young, the people around him told him about the glory and strength of the human race.

However, what he witnessed with his own eyes was the humbleness of the human race, being prey for the other races.

Various hardships and sorrows, a multitude of things, had shaken his heart and left him feeling lost.

Actually, no matter the answer, it couldn't change his current situation. However, he wanted an answer.

He wanted to know if the humans outside were really as the elders had told him, that they were filled with glory and beauty.

This would become the support and pride in his heart.

Xu Qing looked at the human youth in front of him and fell silent for a few breaths.

His silence caused the light in Shi Pangui's eyes to slowly dim.

"The humans outside live and work in peace. Their lives are very good and there aren't many disputes. Everything is very good. The human emperor of this generation has both brawn and brains. Some time ago, he fought against the Black Heaven Race and even won by a landslide."

"Other races have to lower their heads in front of us humans. They can either choose to submit to us and become a subordinate race, or face the destruction of their entire race."

"The Human Emperor also is worried about the situation in the Moon Worship Region. Everything will get better."

A smile appeared on Xu Qing's face as he spoke casually.

His words and smile caused Shi Pangui's eyes to light up. His breathing was hurried and he was incomparably excited.

"I knew it!"

"Zhou Wangbei even argued with me yesterday that the human race is lowly outside as well. I knew it was impossible. Our human race's bloodline is noble. The Moon Worship Region is like this because we have no choice. My race once unified Wanggu and will definitely be glorious outside!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Shi Pangui was excited. After bowing to Xu Qing, he left excitedly. He wanted to go back and tell these things to his Dao companion and his family and friends.

Xu Qing watched as the other party's figure disappeared and sighed softly in his heart.

He understood the reason for the other party's name, 'Pangui'. It signified the hope for the return of the human race's glory.

Wangbei was named so because it meant gazing at the north, because the human race's Grand Imperial Capital Region was in the north.

In reality, after these few days of interaction, Xu Qing had already guessed what was going on in the lower levels of this tomb.

There should be a group of humans there, and the king they were talking about was Duanmu Zang.

He protected some humans, allowing them to avoid the suffering outside and live here.

This was also the reason why the other party warned him not to leave this place.

Respect rose in Xu Qing's heart. He stood up and looked behind him. He then cupped his fists in the distance and bowed.

As he bowed, Duanmu Zang's blurry figure appeared on a statue in the distance. He looked at the place where Shi Pangui had left and then at Xu Qing in silence.

A long time later, his hoarse voice echoed in the cave.

"Thank you."

"Did the humans outside really win the war?" Duanmu Zang looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded solemnly.

"The Holy Wave Large Region now belongs to the human race, and the human race also has its own regional treasure."

Duanmu Zang took a step and arrived beside Xu Qing. This was the closest the two had ever been; in the past, their encounters had always been at a greater distance.

Duanmu Zang then sat at the side and threw a wine flask to Xu Qing.

"Tell me in detail."

Xu Qing took the wine flask and took a sip. He then frowned and simply took out his wine from his storage bag, tossing it to Duanmu Zang.

Duanmu Zang took it and his eyes lit up after drinking it.

And so, as they drank, Xu Qing slowly began to narrate the events outside to Duanmu Zang, but he concealed his identity and role he played in the war. He portrayed the events as if he were just an ordinary bystander.

Duanmu Zang listened attentively without saying a word.

After a long time, the wine was finished and Xu Qing also finished narrating.

Duanmu Zang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"This Seventh Prince, what you see is his actions and the Human Emperor's decree. However, you neglected one thing. His mother's race!"

Xu Qing's expression froze.

"For a prince, even if he has the courage, in such a situation, he must have a profound foundation to act so effortlessly. So, I believe that his maternal race may not be human, or if they are human, they must be of extraordinary status!"

"The Human Emperor is also interesting. I feel that he actually knows everything clearly… Because if you look at the results, the outcome of everything seems to be within control."

"It is like there's a large hand behind the scenes that is controlling everything."

After Duanmu Zang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing, saying with a meaningful tone.

"The starting point of this matter is Fenghai County. If I were the Human Emperor, I would have surely arranged a trusted person in advance to be stationed in Fenghai County, serving as my eyes."

"However, that person's cultivation level can't be too high as it would lead to suspicions."

Xu Qing's expression was calm but waves were surging in his heart.

Duanmu Zang didn't say anything further. He stood up and walked into the distance. When his figure gradually blurred, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Do you want to take a look at my home?"
