The great competition of the Seventh Peak on the Mermaid Clan islands ended with the sound of the Seventh Master's voice.

This time, the Mermaid Clan had no choice, opportunity, or qualification to become allies.

Now, most of the Mermaid Clan members had died, and the strong ones had all been enslaved and suppressed; the wealth on the surface of the four islands had been looted clean, but clearly, for a clan, the treasures and heritage existing in the dark would be even more.

It was just that these were not things that the Qi Condensation disciples at the foot of the mountain could reach.

Although there was array suppression, in the end, there would still be many secret rooms and storage places for heritage that Qi Condensation could not perceive; one could imagine that the next would be a feast for the Seventh Peak's Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"This time, the Seven Blood Eyes has won a great victory, killing many birds with one stone."

The Captain lying on Zhang San's back smiled; it seemed the smile aggravated his injuries, and he hurriedly took out the apple he hadn't finished eating earlier, took a bite, and his expression became comfortable, as if this could make him not so painful.

"How many birds?" Zhang San asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Using the Mermaid Clan as the place for the Seventh Peak's great competition is just an arrangement on the surface; the first wave of looting is by the disciples at the foot of the mountain, followed by the second wave of looting by Foundation Establishment, then the third wave of looting by Core Formation, and finally the fourth looting by the old guys."

"Going on like this, the Mermaid Clan's heritage of many years cannot be hidden at all, and everything will be moved away; this is the first bird of the Seven Blood Eyes."

"As for the arrangement in the dark, it is using the Mermaid Clan as bait to attract the Sea Corpse Clan to open the teleportation, allowing the ancestor, who had just broken through and was in a state of hunger, to have a full meal; this is the second bird."

"In addition, it can also use this attack to deter the various races in all directions, making the momentum of the Seven Blood Eyes even stronger; this is the third bird; wonderful."

"As for the fourth bird, the location of the Mermaid Clan is a strategic location between the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sea Corpse Clan; occupying this place allows for the deployment of leapfrog tactics to target the Sea Corpse Clan; I predict that war is coming soon."

The Captain analyzed on the side; Xu Qing listened in his ears; he lacked a lot of key information about this, so he had been half-understanding earlier, but after listening to the end, he understood in his heart, but still had some doubts and asked a question.

"Why is the ancestor hungry after breaking through?"

"You wouldn't want to know." The Captain looked at Xu Qing with deep meaning.

At the same time, the Seventh Master in the sky, with a satisfied expression, scanned the earth with his gaze, and then waved his hand; suddenly, the great wing beneath him roared toward the sky and spat out a purple light stream toward the bottom.

When this light stream fell, it spread out, forming a sea of light; after shrouding the four islands, the teleportation opened.

Amidst the roar, following the relief in Xu Qing's heart, everyone, including him, vanished without a trace at this instant and was teleported back to the Seven Blood Eyes' mountain gate.

After they left, those Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky all had eyes glowing with light.

The Seventh Master looked at them and smiled.

"Go!"

As soon as his words came out, suddenly a hundred-plus Foundation Establishment cultivators turned into a hundred-plus long rainbows and rushed straight toward the four islands; for these Foundation Establishment cultivators, if there were no benefits to coming here, they would naturally not be happy.

Earlier, because the great competition was ongoing and they were all Qi Condensation cultivators, they didn't care; at this moment, each of them had light appearing in their eyes, and they dispersed rapidly to the four islands to go looting.

At the same time, inside the central altar of the Seven Blood Eyes main city, the purple sea of light appeared suddenly at this moment, forming a huge ring in mid-air, within which one figure after another of Seventh Peak disciples appeared, rushing straight toward the ground one after another.

Until this moment, Xu Qing finally noticed that the number of people who returned was less than two thousand; each of them had malevolent qi existing on their bodies.

"Four thousand plus went, and less than half returned."

After Xu Qing landed, he was not together with Zhang San and the Captain; he scanned the surroundings, and in his heart, he had more realization about the cruelty of the Seven Blood Eyes great competition.

However, he also noticed that every person who returned, besides malevolent qi, had excitement that could not be hidden in their expressions; clearly, their respective harvests this time were all astonishing; Xu Qing even saw the little fatty in the crowd.

The island the other party went to during the great competition earlier was different from Xu Qing's; at this moment, he stood there in high spirits, with seven or eight storage bags hanging on his waist, looking arrogant.

After noticing Xu Qing's gaze, he ran all the way to Xu Qing's side excitedly.

"How is it? The harvest is okay, right? My harvest this time is huge."

Xu Qing nodded, only his whole body was still stinging, and bursts of weakness could not be controlled and emerged throughout his body, making him somewhat exhausted.

The little fatty was just about to continue speaking, but at this moment, a figure walked out from the light sea in the sky; as soon as this figure appeared, the vast cultivation base fluctuation immediately suppressed the eight directions, making the disciples here quiet down one after another and look up.

Xu Qing also looked up and gazed, recognizing that the other party was precisely Zhao Zhongheng's grandfather, the Third Elder of the Seventh Peak.

"The Mermaid Clan still has follow-up matters to deal with, and the Peak Master still has to wait there for the ancestor to return, so the results of this great competition will be announced by me."

"Your killing points are all recorded on your respective identity tokens; as for your harvests, you can rest assured, the tokens will not record these, and they don't have this function, so no matter how big your harvest is, it is your own business; this has been the case in every great competition, and the sect does not care."

"I will only announce the first place this time."

"Ding Xiaohai, step forward!"

Following the Third Elder's words, in the crowd, Ding Xiaohai, whose Daoist robe was dilapidated and clearly had heavy injuries, immediately raised his head and barely managed to ascend into the air relying on a flight talisman.

"Ding Xiaohai, obtained first place in this great competition, granted the identity of a core disciple, wearing a light purple robe, possessing the right to live on the mountain, but the cave dwelling is expensive, you need to buy it yourself!"

The Third Elder spoke faintly, his voice echoing in the eight directions like heavenly thunder.

Ding Xiaohai's emotions were somewhat agitated, and he clasped his fists and bowed deeply toward the sky.

"Thank you, Sect!"

The Third Elder lowered his head to look at Ding Xiaohai, who had always been hailed as the number one person at the foot of the mountain, and admiration appeared in his eyes.

He admired disciples who would fight for the glory of the sect, but admiration was admiration; he had no intention of wanting to bestow favors upon the other party, and moreover, the other party was thanking the sect, not himself.

From the perspective of the sect, such disciples were very good, incredibly persistent in wanting to obtain first place, and fighting the enemy with all their might.

But from a personal perspective, he felt that the other party's personality was stubborn and paid too much attention to reputation, for which he was willing to sacrifice this rare opportunity for harvest; such people were difficult to live long in troubled times.

And if one couldn't live long, all bestowals were meaningless; furthermore, in troubled times, one should pay attention to hiding one's light, and one should know how to hide.

Being too prominent usually led to a miserable end; on this point, he still admired that kid named Xu Qing, who had reached the realm of needing to break through without making a sound.

At this moment, following Ding Xiaohai's agitated voice, the disciples with bulging waists in the surroundings also cheered him on one after another, congratulating him respectively.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ding!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ding!

" In the crowd, Xu Qing heard the Captain's voice, and the little fatty to the side also shouted congratulations, then lowered his head and sighed to Xu Qing.

"Senior Brother Ding is a good person, only focused on killing the enemy, never grabbing resources with us; if all Seven Blood Eyes were like Senior Brother Ding, that would be great."

Xu Qing raised his head, looking at Ding Xiaohai in the sky, his state of mind as usual.

In this world, everyone has their own way of living; some value profit, some value fame; there is no right or wrong here, although Ding Xiaohai's cultivation base had already reached the edge of breaking through, and as long as he broke through, he could change into a purple robe.

But perhaps the identity of a core disciple was an obsession of his, who knows.

Xu Qing did not evaluate, but he knew himself that he didn't care about these.

The only thing that attracted him to the Seven Blood Eyes was profit; he was very eager to become Foundation Establishment; on one hand, it was to make himself strong so he could live better, and on the other hand, he was very envious of the profit distribution every month after Foundation Establishment.

In addition, he didn't like being so prominent; unless doing so had astonishing benefits, otherwise, hiding in the dark would be safer.

At this moment, after the sect rewarded Ding Xiaohai, following the Third Elder stepping into the light sea and teleporting away, the disciples on the altar also dispersed one after another, and Xu Qing left immediately.

Even though he was incredibly exhausted now, Xu Qing dared not stay in the Seven Blood Eyes for too long; it was truly the case that his harvest this time was too huge.

So huge that once exposed, the Seven Blood Eyes would be shocked.

After all... that was a Life Lamp that could make the great sects of the Eastern Wanggu Continent envious.

So Xu Qing went to the various shops at the port at the first opportunity to sell all his scattered items from this time and exchange them for spirit stones.

He also replenished some talisman treasures, then went to the shop selling arrays, and using the large amount of contribution points obtained from killing in the great competition, he bought five sets of protective arrays regardless of the high price.

The price of these arrays was astonishing, but the effect was also incredibly strong; any one set opened could allow the disciples within the array to remain safe for a long time under the attack of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were not in the Xuan Yao state.

And as long as there were enough spirit stones, its power could be sustained, and it even possessed a certain ability for self-repair.

And using five sets superimposed, the effect was even better.

These five sets of arrays consumed ninety percent of the contribution points Xu Qing had obtained from killing in the great competition, but he knew it was worth it, so he went to the pharmacy again to buy a large amount of elixirs and poisonous herbs.

After doing all this, Xu Qing felt that he was almost prepared; now he only lacked the repair of the magic boat.

"See how long it takes to repair the magic boat; if the time is within a day, I will wait, if it is too long... I can't wait." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes; he had to break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

With the Life Lamp in hand, every day he delayed Foundation Establishment, he felt an extra day of tension and unease.

And this time, he knew he couldn't break through to Foundation Establishment in the sect, because he wasn't sure if the integration of the Life Lamp during Foundation Establishment would form fluctuations that could be perceived by outsiders.

The matter was of great importance, and he couldn't gamble.

Especially since he had seen with his own eyes on Juying Island a Mermaid Clan cultivator who had bad luck encounter an accident during Foundation Establishment; although for the Seven Blood Eyes, such an accident was almost impossible.

But Xu Qing still had to guard against it.

And with the spirit-breath lamp as protection, Xu Qing felt that he already possessed the qualification to break through to Foundation Establishment alone outside, so at this moment, he quickened his pace and headed straight for the Transportation Department to find Zhang San.

Now the sky was getting dark; when Xu Qing was vigilantly heading to the Transportation Department all the way, in the inn on Banquan Road, the old man was painfully wiping some wounds on the snake scales for the great snake sitting in front of him.

"You, you actually hid from me and went to buy a Transformation Pill to eat; can that thing be eaten randomly? You haven't reached the time for transformation yet; eating it will only allow you to transform for a few days, and if you eat too much, your cultivation for this life will be ruined, do you know!

"

"And you silly snake, eating the Transformation Pill was actually to participate in the Seventh Peak's great competition; you don't know how dangerous that great competition is."

The old man was incredibly heartbroken and scolded angrily after wiping the medicine.

"Gulu Gulu, Gulu Gulu." The great snake seemed very happy, twisted its body, and the snake head probed over, speaking proudly toward the old man.

"I didn't lie to you, that little thief Xu is really looking at your snake gall, En? You went to participate in the great competition, wouldn't it be to find him?!" The old man glared.

"Gulu Gulu!" The great snake called out unconvinced a few times.

The old man looked at the great snake in front of him, and after a long while, he sighed, raised his hand to touch the great snake's head, and spoke earnestly, as if an old father talking to his own daughter.

"Silly girl, he said snake gall is bitter; doesn't this mean he has eaten snake gall, and he must have eaten more than one..."

The great snake was stunned, stayed there, and gradually its eyes turned red, as if it were about to cry.
