Chapter 130

Seven Blood Eyes main city, the moonlight was like sand, spreading over the earth.

Xu Qing stepped on the moonlight, moving forward all the way.

Although his cultivation base had reached Qi Condensation perfection, the previous injuries were still there, so Xu Qing's vigilance was just like when he had first come to the Seven Blood Eyes.

Especially today, carrying the Life Lamp on his body made Xu Qing's guard reach the extreme; his right hand swayed seemingly naturally as he moved forward, but in reality, if there was any wind or grass moving, his posture at this moment would allow him to take out the black iron skewer instantly.

This was the experience Xu Qing had learned in the Seven Blood Eyes; hiding needles in silk was the way to survive; unless there was another purpose, one should not reveal one's edge in inadvertent habits.

In addition, the experience in the Seven Blood Eyes also made Xu Qing learn the method of being more relaxed the more vigilant his body was.

Because he discovered that, just like when he was in the slums and the scavenger camp, his behavior of tensing his body in a state of tension seemed to allow him to launch an attack instantly, but in reality, it was still somewhat slow.

The real method was to keep the body relaxed while the heart was full of vigilance; in this way, outsiders could not see anything, and he himself only needed one thought for his body to move instantly.

These were all techniques he had learned, and unknowingly, they had also changed many of his behaviors; it was just that Xu Qing was still too young, and he still couldn't do it like the Captain, who could perfectly mask even his expressions.

Xu Qing did not go to forcibly imitate; everything followed his instincts; at this moment, as his body sped away, he was getting closer and closer to Zhang San's Transportation Department.

But just as he was passing an alley, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly paused, and he turned his head abruptly to look behind him, coldness rising in his eyes.

Under his gaze, a thin and small figure slowly walked out from the corner in the distance; it was precisely that mute boy.

The Seven Blood Eyes Daoist robe on his body was still wide, and the dog-skin jacket worn inside still made him look bloated, but different from before was that there was an extra badge on his Daoist robe; this was the sign of a formal member of the Murder Investigation Division.

He appeared in the distance, looked at Xu Qing rapidly, and then crouched down; the posture he assumed was not the appearance of launching an attack, but more like a kind of following and guarding.

Xu Qing stared at the mute boy, saw the badge on his Daoist robe, and for this mute, Xu Qing had once read the files, knowing that the other party's identity when entering the Murder Investigation Division at the beginning was an assistant catcher; clearly, he had now been made formal, so he spoke slowly.

"I don't like having people follow me."

The mute boy was silent, then retreated silently, disappearing into the dark night again.

Xu Qing then retracted his gaze; he didn't care if the other party had good intentions or bad intentions; now he had no thoughts to judge, but if the other party still followed him on their own despite his notification, then he would kill.

At this moment, his body swayed, and Xu Qing continued to move away.

Not long after, Xu Qing arrived at the Transportation Department and saw from afar that Zhang San was counting goods; clearly, after returning from the great competition, Zhang San was very concerned about his own treasures, fearing they would be stolen.

Zhang San also saw Xu Qing, and after waving at Xu Qing, he also finished counting and escaped the chimney contentedly.

"Junior Brother Xu Qing, just returned and not resting, what's the matter coming to me?"

Xu Qing didn't ask why Zhang San didn't put the items into a storage bag, and took out his magic boat.

Following the magic boat landing with a boom, the ground vibrated, and some scattered parts hanging on it also scattered.

"Repair the magic boat."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

Zhang San to the side had his eyes about to pop out, and the chimney in his hand was also forgotten to be smoked; he looked blankly at this half-magic boat that was both familiar and strange.

"Did we meet during the great competition? Did we go to the temple together to guard the Captain, and then come back together?" After a long while, Zhang San's expression was somewhat confused.

"Yes." Xu Qing looked at Zhang San in surprise.

"Since I'm not hallucinating, and it was indeed you I met in the great competition, then tell me how your magic boat became like this; heavens, this is my most outstanding work!

"

"How on earth did you manage to destroy half of the magic boat? Did you use it as a shield?" Zhang San clutched his chest; at this moment, his heartache seemed even stronger than Xu Qing's.

It was truly the case that he remembered Xu Qing using the magic boat in the great competition, giving that huge sea corpse a blow, and at that time it was still intact, but now it was actually destroyed to such a degree; this made him feel it was incredible, unless he had done something as crazy as the Captain...

Thinking of this, Zhang San suddenly felt his heart jump; he recalled the embarrassment and weakness of the other party when he saw Xu Qing again while fleeing under Juying Island, so he took a breath.

"You didn't really do something as crazy as the Captain, did you?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Senior Brother Zhang San, how long does it take to repair the magic boat?"

Zhang San looked at the magic boat and sighed long.

"Fine, fine; last time you brought back a flying boat, comparing it like that, this time is still okay; the magic boat at least still has half left..."

"However, it cannot be repaired in a short time; I am going out with the Captain tomorrow; he asked me to carry him to some place to recover his injuries, saying that I can also build my foundation there."

"If you are not in a hurry, wait for me to come back from Foundation Establishment and I will re-refine it for you; the one I refine after Foundation Establishment should be better; moreover, the flesh and blood obtained by the Captain can also be placed in the new boat to temporarily act as a power source."

Zhang San circled Xu Qing's magic boat and sighed resignedly.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and nodded, not asking too much about the other party's Foundation Establishment; such things, no matter what the relationship was, asking would cause some taboos.

So he clasped his fists and said goodbye.

At this moment, the night was deep, and the Seven Blood Eyes' teleportation array was not opened at night unless necessary, so after pondering, Xu Qing did not choose an inn, but went to the Murder Investigation Division.

After being promoted to Vice-Captain, he also had his own room in the Xuan Department of the Murder Investigation Division, but he almost never went there on weekdays; now that he had no place to live, Xu Qing planned to go there and stay for the night.

After all, compared to the inns outside, the safety level within the Murder Investigation Division was relatively higher.

Just like that, Xu Qing went to the Murder Investigation Division overnight.

There was no one in the Xuan Department, and the Captain was not there; Xu Qing entered his room, opened the protective array he had bought, and sat cross-legged.

The night passed.

Early the next morning, just as it was getting bright, Xu Qing's eyes opened abruptly; without the slightest hesitation, he put away the array and left the Murder Investigation Division rapidly, heading straight for the teleportation array in the center of the main city.

His speed was fast all the way, and finally, half an hour later, he saw the teleportation array from afar.

There were quite a few people queuing for teleportation there, among whom two were extremely conspicuous in the crowd; one was Zhang San, and the other was the Captain he was carrying on his back.

Recalling Zhang San's words yesterday, Xu Qing was not surprised, and the Captain, who was looking around on Zhang San's back, soon saw Xu Qing, waving while eating an apple.

As Xu Qing approached, the Captain scanned him with a smile that was not a smile.

"This is not daring to be in the sect, and going outside to find a place to break through? Do you want me to introduce you to a few places?"

Zhang San also looked at Xu Qing and greeted him with a smile; hearing the Captain's words, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Qing a few more times, his expression quite having a joy of successful investment.

"Going out on business." Xu Qing scanned the queue of the teleportation array and spoke calmly.

"Vice-Captain Xu, this expression of yours is a bit too fake; let me teach you; when you want to lie in the future, you must look into the other party's eyes, so that it is real; and you are so concealing, it seems there was a big harvest on the island this time?"

"Come, come, take it out and let this Captain see if it is more valuable than this apple."

The Captain finished eating the apple, took out a big apple that Xu Qing had eaten on Juying Island, shook it showily, and took a bite.

"En, where is the Captain going this time?" Xu Qing nodded, retracted his gaze from the teleportation array, and asked a question.

"Me? I'm going to recover; when I come back, I will be even more powerful; if you don't return the ten thousand spirit stones you owe me by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The Captain narrowed his eyes, looked at the skin bag on Xu Qing's body with deep meaning, retracted his gaze, and took a big bite of the apple.

"I wish the Captain a smooth recovery." Xu Qing looked into the Captain's eyes and said seriously.

The Captain was stunned, looked into Xu Qing's eyes, his expression revealing pondering, as if analyzing the sincerity of Xu Qing's words.

At this moment, Zhang San sighed; he could see that every time the Captain and Xu Qing, these two perverts, met, they were likely chatting like this, so he was just about to speak.

But just at this moment, suddenly the entire Seven Blood Eyes' sky changed; the originally clear sky instantly turned pitch black, and a pressure that made one incredibly horrified, made the entire Seven Blood Eyes main city tremble, and even the seven mountain peaks roared, descended from the sky!

Everyone in the main city, whether cultivators or mortals, all had their hearts and spirits roaring, and they all looked up at the sky together; even the waves in the harbor raised huge waves at this moment, as if worshiping.

Xu Qing's expression also changed; when he looked up, he saw the reason for the sky turning black.

That was a majestic black cloud that could not be seen to the end, whistling from the direction of the Phoenix Forbidden; when passing over the Seven Blood Eyes, it covered the sun, making the earth turn pitch black.

This black cloud carried infinite lightning, roaring and breaking through the sky; as it wandered in all directions, incomparable deterrence radiated from within this black cloud, shrouding all living beings.

All who saw it could not help but instinctively have a sense of life-and-death crisis emerge in their hearts.

Faintly, in this black cloud, there seemed to be a god-like existence hidden, seemingly like a phoenix, seemingly like an eagle!

The brown body was like rock, and the feathers were like clusters of flames.

At this moment, it seemed to carry anger, rushing straight toward the direction of the Forbidden Sea with great momentum; following the whistling, the distant sea also followed its forward movement, with huge waves continuously and the sound being monstrous.

Looking from perception, compared to it, Juying was also clearly inferior, with a huge gap.

And as for Xu Qing here, just one look from afar made his head ache and his mind buzz; everyone else in the surroundings was also like this, and some even bled from their seven orifices directly.

Xu Qing was horrified in his heart; he recognized the other party.

The existence in this black cloud was precisely the Emperor of the number one forbidden area of the Southern Phoenix Continent, the Flame Phoenix, whom he had encountered when he first returned from the sea!

It was just that that time, the other party seemed to be in a calm mood, so Xu Qing did not have the feeling of his head about to explode, but now this Flame Phoenix was clearly carrying anger, and the fluctuation of its mood affected everything.

"Flame Phoenix going out to sea... it seems something big is going to happen; could it be that the Emperor within the Corpse Forbidden has walked out of the forbidden land?"

As the Captain whispered, the black cloud whistled past above the Seven Blood Eyes; after gradually moving away, the Seven Blood Eyes' sky became clear again, but everyone's heart and spirit were still fluctuating violently.

Xu Qing took a deep breath; he had once asked Zhang San about this Flame Phoenix after he returned last time, knowing the other party's identity, and also knowing that this terrifying existence was not a ferocious or evil person; most of the time it fell into a deep sleep, occasionally waking up.

It treated humans and other races equally, especially the living beings residing in the Southern Phoenix Continent, who were mostly under its protection to a certain degree.

Therefore, there were human beings who had continued to this day.

After a long while, following the Flame Phoenix's complete departure, the Seven Blood Eyes barely recovered its operation; Xu Qing retracted his gaze, walked toward the teleportation array, stepped in, and his figure vanished in an instant.

"This kid doesn't trust me; it seems he got a good thing this time, but no matter how good it is, it's not as powerful as my Juying flesh and blood." The Captain smiled proudly and patted Zhang San's head.

"Let's go, Zhang San, Brother will take you to eat meat."

Zhang San sighed, secretly thinking that not only did Xu Qing not trust you, but I also didn't trust you, but thinking of his investment over so many years, there was no way, he could only resign himself to fate.

"Those who are invested in are all grandfathers!" Zhang San shook his head and stepped into the teleportation array carrying the Captain.

Following the teleportation departure of Xu Qing, Zhang San, and the Captain, the Seven Blood Eyes gradually recovered as usual, only... in the sky, at some unknown time, some haze appeared.

It seemed a storm was coming.
