Night without Borders

Chapter 568 A Trip for Two

In the sky, at the grand event, Bai Meng looked around and asked, "Where's Brother Ming?"

Pei Shuyan swirled the amber-colored wine in his crystal glass and said, "It's gone from vulgar."

Bai Meng immediately retorted, "That's nonsense."

Cheng Sheng took a sip of his wine and said, "I just saw Qin Ming and your sister gazing into each other's eyes before disappearing into the night. I hope it lasts, and that they don't suffer the wrath of heaven, for deep love is often short-lived."

Bai Meng felt that walking with the two of them made him feel abnormal. One was as still as water, as if he had no worldly desires, while the other was the opposite.

These two people, however, felt that they were perfectly normal.

Just now, Pei Shuyan was still comforting Cheng Sheng, saying, "In this vast and boundless world of night fog, the land ruled by Yujing is but a drop in the ocean, and you are but a speck of dust on that drop. What do those joys and sorrows matter? Be carefree, be clear-headed, and let go completely. There is nothing we cannot let go of in this life. Past honors and disgraces are but dust on dust, not worth mentioning."

Bai Meng said, "Lord Pei, I admire you. I feel that you have achieved great enlightenment."

Cheng Sheng sighed, "True feelings are like sand slipping through your fingers, light shining through a crack; they cannot be grasped or kept."

"Only the ruthless can draw their swords and become a god!" Bai Meng felt that if he continued to follow their words, his mind would also suffer.

……

High in the night sky, a five-colored light flashed before Qin Ming, and a familiar voice rang out: "Who disturbed my slumber and forcibly woke me up?"

The special weapon fragments arrived, seemingly impatient and grumpy, as if they were just woken up from a bad mood.

Qin Ming tilted his head to look at it, and it turned out to be this "scumbag soldier," an old acquaintance. He had obtained this fragment of treasure last time, but it had used vulgar language to say that Qin Ming's level was not high enough, mainly to provide it with emotional value and awaken its former self.

Therefore, when the man and the soldier met again, they were speechless and looked at each other with mutual loathing.

"We meet again." Qin Ming calmed himself down, after all, he was still counting on it to help.

"Mmm," the five-colored treasure fragment responded reservedly.

Then, it was stunned. Qin Ming stuffed it into a pitch-black place where it couldn't see anything, as if it had been locked in a celestial cage.

It tried to break through, but it could not budge an inch.

It was stunned on the spot, and its heart was truly numb. Was this the monster that it had always felt was around Qin Ming in the Abyss of Madness, but could never detect?
Qin Ming felt that Old Bu was only good for this much: maintain mystery, imprison the treasure, and subtly put pressure on him.

Now that he had a special weapon, he no longer needed to rely on the power of the jade mirror. Qin Ming began to reconsider, looked at the other side, and said, "How about... you go back?"

Tang Yushang was immediately dissatisfied. Was this a case of using her and Yujing as backup options, only to discard them after they had served their purpose?
Qin Ming said, "The road ahead is fraught with difficulties and dangers, and I really can't bear to see you go through fire and water with me. Therefore, I've decided to enter this dangerous situation alone and shoulder the burden myself."

Tang Yushang only wanted to give him the whites of her eyes, and said, "Didn't you say you were going to do a big business deal? You used to invite me very much, but now you're thinking of me instead."

Listening to Qin Ming's scumbag words, she felt like she had been used.

Therefore, Tang Yushang glanced at him sideways, wanting to leave.

Qin Ming explained, "I'm afraid something might happen. If you get hurt, I'm worried that Fairy Sister will hold me accountable later."

Tang Yushang glared at him and said, "Shut up, that's my great-grandmother."

Qin Ming compromised and said, "Alright then, let's hit the road together!"

They disappeared silently into the sea of ​​night mist, falling from the highest heavens to the ground.

Even with the strength of a grandmaster and the cultivation of a nascent soul, they cannot fly in the sky in this great era, but they can briefly ride the wind.

There were many majestic mountains on the ground, towering into the clouds. Those peaks were like isolated islands, emerging from the sea of ​​night mist. The two walked on the islands, constantly using their strength, as if they were flying.

Qin Ming was surprised and said, "Huh, I didn't expect that this place is not far from Black and White Mountain. I've been away for a while and I want to go back and take a look."

He didn't linger for long, only stopping briefly in Chixia City and Shuangshu Village to learn about the current situation, and overall there were no unusual events.

In recent days, however, many people have been spying around Crimson Cloud City, trying to find out if Qin Ming has returned alive from the enclave.

Not everyone was concerned. For example, the Cui family, Jing Shi Zhai, and Xue Xian all wished he would stay in the outer realm forever and disappear.

Qin Ming didn't say much, but took out several doses of medicine and handed them to the Yuque and Leitingwangniao who had volunteered.

"Eating it will make you have babies?" The red squirrel was shocked. Just now, it had been drooling over the bright red, shiny fruit, but now it retreated in awe.

Yu Que patted her chest and said, "Mountain Lord, please rest assured. We will do things in a way that is subtle and discreet, leaving no trace. We will deliver the goods naturally to the territory of the relevant forces and ensure that they are obtained by their direct descendants."

The major medicines Qin Ming took out all had problems, but they appeared to be of exceptional quality. Given his intention to give them away, they would most likely end up in the hands of a clan's hope.

Yuque assured that it would arrange for the divine medicine to be discovered and stolen in the corresponding area, saying, "Since the Cui family and Jingshizhai are among the large organizations that are spying, we must make the Cui family's twin dragons, Cui Chongxiao and Cui Chonghe, fall into the trap and become 'male saints,' and we must also make the core leaders of Jingshizhai and Xuexian have children in their old age!"

In the distance, Tang Yushang stood disheveled in the night wind. What did she hear?
What kind of magical potion did Qin Ming possess? Tang Yushang became wary of him, and if they were to travel together, she wouldn't even drink the water he provided.

This was just a minor incident. Qin Ming and Tang Yushang, who were waiting in the distance, met up and quickly disappeared into the distance.

In the outskirts of Jinrui City, the ancient Misty Gate is incredibly deep, shrouded in a thick fog.

Qin Ming returns to the old place, wanting to do a big business deal in another world.

This is one of the first two ancient mist gates to open in Yezhou. He ultimately chose this place mainly because he was familiar with it and had made great gains in that area before.

He knew that the land was blessed with natural beauty and was quite prosperous.

As for the other ancient misty gate, it directly connects to a forbidden area where there once was a medicinal field containing the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, of terrifyingly high quality, attracting even earth immortals to fight there. Unfortunately, it turned into a meat grinder, and in the end, the ground was covered with blood and mud.

Qin Ming wanted to do big business, so he naturally chose the place with the most people. The first ancient gate that connected to the restricted area was directly crossed out.

As for the various portals to distant places opened by the Night State Patriarch, they are all relatively close, mostly within the jurisdiction of Yujing or the surrounding areas.

Qin Ming suspected that the two ancient mist gates were connected to the territories of other supreme systems, making them ideal for doing business without taking responsibility.

Tang Yushang was somewhat wary and asked, "Are we leaving the territory where Yujing is located?"

Qin Ming once again sincerely advised her to stop, saying, "Yes, it's very far away. Being alone in a foreign land, we will lack support. If we encounter a powerful enemy, our situation may be extremely dangerous."

Tang Yushang raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, lifted her snow-white chin, and said, "Now that I have the Jade Mirror on my body, what do I have to fear?"

In fact, she felt that she could easily control Qin Ming. No matter how miraculous the five-colored treasure fragments were, they could not compare to her family's ancestral artifact.

Jade Mirror and Jade Capital have similar pronunciations, so their origins must be incredibly impressive.

However, she always ended up getting the short end of the stick when she proudly raised her chin and made tough statements in the past, so she kept a low profile today and didn't plan to cause any trouble.

Seeing that she was determined to go, Qin Ming stopped trying to stop her and asked, "Do you still have the Undying Blood Calamity Mark on your body?"

"Are you worried about the impact?" Tang Yushang frowned. This mark was entangled with the spiritual origin. Although she had severed some of it, some remnants remained and needed time to resolve.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Details determine success or failure. The alien realm we are going to may be deep within the Night Mist World, where even dream insects exist!"

He had learned that deep within the Night Fog world, a supreme faction had fed blood to giant creatures in an attempt to conduct an experiment on immortality, which was quite terrifying.

He had killed the Holy Traveler, and the Supreme Dojo behind this system was also secretly involved in the experiments, and knew about the golden mark in the Undying Blood Calamity.

Qin Ming said, "I'll help you resolve this."

He mastered the devouring trait of the sage lineage, and first of all, he dismantled his own immortal blood curse mark.

The two arrived at a secluded place and sat quietly in the dense forest.

A moment later, Tang Yushang, having regained her pride, became much more low-key again, and the pale gold mark on her fair skin was forcibly peeled off by Qin Ming's hand.

The imprint that had been entangled in her mental field quickly shattered and was taken away.

Only when her body became hot and the mark of the Undying Blood Calamity was completely erased did she come to her senses and say, "It's okay."

Qin Ming withdrew his hand. His scalding right hand seemed to be entangled by a black hole vortex, where pale golden fragments were torn apart, turning into dust and scattering with the wind.

He muttered to himself, "What a domineering tactic."

Tang Yushang said, "There's a limit to narcissism!"

Qin Ming said, "You don't understand its true origin. I only recently mastered it, but it originally belonged to some unpredictable old monster who researched it his whole life as a supreme technique."

When they stood before the Ancient Mist Gate once more, Qin Ming had Tang Yushang don a special liquid armor.

Before even crossing the boundary, they've already started defending, which immediately made Tang Yushang's expression serious. She asked, "Is it that dangerous?"

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Let's be on guard."

He vividly remembered the terrifying experience of being tracked by the old insect, and the White Tiger female grandmaster, whose cultivation level was definitely questionable; conservatively speaking, she might be a grandmaster.

The two insects were mysterious and unpredictable, leaving him with psychological trauma.

He fought fiercely or feigned compliance, narrowly escaping back, and even now, thinking about it still fills him with lingering fear.

Qin Ming extended a wisp of his spirit, crossed the boundary first, and found that everything was normal.

"go!"

Finally, the two left the Jade Capital region and headed deeper into the Night Fog World.

They traveled at an extremely fast pace, like two streaks of light, disappearing at the edge of this land. It was only after they had changed into the clothes of the natives that they breathed a sigh of relief.

During this process, Qin Ming adjusted himself to his strongest state and entered a moment of mental clarity. He did not feel anything bad and was finally relieved.

As he gazed upon this land, many vivid faces surfaced in his mind, such as Sanhua and Lihua, whom he encountered when he transformed into Yuan Dingming.

There was also the old sheep that he encountered when he went on an adventure after the divine black wheat matured; the two of them were the only living beings who escaped from underground.

Of course, what impressed him most was the Kaiyuan Grand Gathering, where he gained a great deal.

"Since there were no problems when we came in, then everything is fine."

Qin Ming's eyes shone with anticipation as he said, "If we're lucky enough, we might be able to collect not only the resources for a Grandmaster, but also the resources needed to directly reach the sixth realm."

Tang Yushang didn't believe it at all. She glanced at him sideways and said, "You're just bragging!"

Qin Ming waved his hand and walked forward first, saying, "Don't doubt it, follow me and you'll eat nine meals a day."

It's the weekend again, no rest, but today's post will be a little shorter.
