Chapter 213

At the same time, not very far from the Seven Blood Eyes, near the edge of the Forbidden Sea, a transmission array that was also originally abandoned suddenly shone, revealing a wisp of mist inside. This mist rapidly solidified, turning into a mist body.

After walking out of the transmission array, he took action rapidly, directly destroying the array, only then breathing a sigh of relief, laughing toward the sky.

"Finally, it wasn't escaped by you, Grandpa!" His mist body, in this condensation, slowly turned into the appearance of a middle-aged man. At this moment, his expression carried unprecedented pride.

Actually, he was also deliberately caught by Xu Qing in the end, for the sake of borrowing the transmission, using the secret method given by the employer, to escape.

Everything went very smoothly.

"Time wasn't delayed for long. Next is to go trade with the employer. The second volume of the Taiyin Transformation Pride Pill has been thoroughly memorized by me. Now only I know it. If they don't give me what they promised, don't even think about getting the second volume of the pill formula."

This middle-aged cultivator sneered, his body swaying and galloping rapidly.

Under the moonlight, his body galloped in the wilderness, but he didn't notice that in his shadow, an eye opened.

Even if his body was strange, there was still a figure after all, and as long as there was a figure, there would be Xu Qing's shadow.

Xu Qing deliberately let him go.

As for the statement about wanting to see Sixth Uncle, Xu Qing didn't believe it. And since the other party wouldn't say it even if he died, Xu Qing simply let him think he was safe, so that it would be easy to bring him to see the mastermind behind the scenes personally!

And the range of the shadow eye, Xu Qing had already felt when looking for the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk at sea back then. Its range was huge, and now it was still within his perception. Although it appeared somewhat blurred, it didn't affect it.

And the perception of direction was also enough.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, adjusted the array, and started transmission toward the place of perception. As for the transmission array at the other end being destroyed, it didn't matter. Knowing the direction, there would always be other transmission arrays nearby.

The next instant, Xu Qing's figure disappeared.

At this moment, in the near-sea area of the Southern Wasteland Continent, that middle-aged cultivator whose body was composed of mist had extremely fast speed, galloping all the way under the cover of night. During this period, he also looked back to check many times, and even spread his perception to probe the surroundings.

Even if he confirmed again and again that no one was following, he was still very cautious. It was just that the shadow's strangeness was something he hadn't figured out before, so he didn't know that an eye existed in his figure.

But overall, this Ghostly Ghost Clan cultivator's vigilance was very strong. He didn't go to the place where he was supposed to meet his employer for the first time, but used a night's time to take a big detour, finally suddenly at a seaside, gazing at a merchant ship docked in the distance, and roared in a low voice.

"Come over. I have already obtained the things you want."

Then he waited silently, observing the surroundings closely, but didn't see the eye in his figure, which narrowed into a slit, also observing him.

Half a moment later, the surroundings were as usual. This Ghostly Ghost Clan cultivator turned and swayed, changing direction. Everything before was deliberate, wanting to test whether it was really safe.

At this moment, he finally felt at ease, a trace of pride appearing on his face. In the darkness of dawn breaking, he approached the seaside from another direction, jumping in without any hesitation.

The next instant, a swordfish swimming in the sea suddenly trembled, changing direction and galloping away, but... the shadow's eye was parasitized on the Ghostly Ghost Clan's main body, so even if the other party had a body now, the shadow eye still existed.

Strangeness actually also depends on the level, and the shadow's strangeness degree was clearly far beyond the Ghostly Ghost Clan, and it could even be said to be a natural nemesis. At the same time, the shadow also had some slight emotional fluctuations.

It seemed to have discovered that it and the Ghostly Ghost Clan seemed to be a better match. If it hadn't parasitized Xu Qing back then, but a Ghostly Ghost Clan... Thinking of this, the shadow suddenly interrupted its own thoughts, revealing a trace of disgust.

It felt that the Ghostly Ghost Clan was not worthy of comparing with itself, and even less worthy of comparing with that Xu Demon. How could it have the idea of wanting to compare with the one parasitized on the food?

This thought made the shadow feel insulted, and at the same time, it had some terror, remembering the experience of being tortured by the Xu Demon.

So it cheered up, observing even more diligently and transmitting guidance toward Xu Qing there.

All of this, this Ghostly Ghost Clan cultivator didn't know at all.

Just like that, time passed. The swordfish he possessed galloped rapidly in the sea, circling a whole big circle. During this period, after changing seven or eight sea beasts, finally, on the night of the second day, he possessed a starfish.

Following the rise and fall of the waves, this starfish was rolled onto a black beach that could be considered the sphere of influence of the Seven Blood Eyes.

The seawater receded, leaving black water foam all over the ground. The bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight fell on these water foams, emitting a faint light. The surroundings were quiet.

The starfish possessed by the Ghostly Ghost Clan lay on the beach, motionless.

Until time passed bit by bit, the deep night arrived and slowly flowed away, the dawn of a new day... carrying dark black, at the moment the moon left and the sun hadn't returned yet, approached silently.

Just like... at this moment in the darkness of this dawn, the figures walking from the dark place in the distance.

A total of four figures.

All wore black Daoist robes, covering their whole bodies and heads, unable to see their appearance, and the wide Daoist robes also made their figures hidden within, unable to see if they were human, and thus unable to see their specific gender.

At the same time, there were no cultivation fluctuations on the bodies of these four figures. Clearly, they were hidden extremely deeply, and even vaguely outside the bodies of these four figures, there existed a hazy feeling.

This was a kind of shielding array fluctuation, a means to prevent divine sense locking, not formed by magic artifacts, but more like a kind of clan talent.

At this moment, these four figures walked step by step toward the beach.

Approaching slowly, until they stopped beside the starfish possessed by the Ghostly Ghost Clan cultivator.

The moment their footsteps stopped, the figure at the very front didn't move, while the three behind her scattered rapidly, each taking out a round plate and placing it on the ground, as if probing.

It was only the time of a few breaths when the probing ended. These three turned around and stood respectfully at their respective round plates.

The sea breeze blew, spreading in all directions, carrying the fishy smell of seawater, and also rolling up seawater. When invading the coast, the wind also fell on the robes of the figure standing beside the starfish, blowing them to rustle.

At the same time, it also slightly lifted some of the robe hoods that covered the head, revealing a wisp of... blue hair!

Amidst the dancing of this hair, the figure lowered her head, emitting a crisp voice.

"You are late."

Following her words, the starfish on the ground responded with a low voice.

"Almost got killed by someone in the Purple Earth. Your mission this time didn't tell me I would encounter such a pervert. That guy is simply stranger than me!"

"This matter is also beyond our expectations, but you will be compensated later. So, give me your mission harvest." Following the sound, the wind became a bit stronger at this moment, blowing the robe hood that had already lifted a corner completely open, revealing a delicate and pretty little face that could be broken by a blow inside!

Blue long hair dancing, blue eyes shining, fair skin carrying the soft light of jade—it was exactly... the Starfish Clan Princess visiting the Seven Blood Eyes!

This princess, back then at Port 176, sent a conch the first time she saw Xu Qing, and later during her time in the Seven Blood Eyes, visited Xu Qing many times to ask questions. In her innocent and lively eyes back then, there seemed to be no scheming; all there was was appreciation for Xu Qing.

And the questions she asked also included many things, but if these questions of hers were synthesized together to look at, it could definitely be seen... the hidden things in those questions were more of a probe into Xu Qing's personality and habits.

When one mastered a person's habits and personality, one could target this person to plan some schemes. Clearly, she had long set her sights on Xu Qing, preparing for layouts in the future.

"Hey, no rush for this. You guys have secretly caught so many prodigies of the heavens of various clans over the years. There should be quite a few in the Seven Blood Eyes. Now the main medicine is likely sufficient. The reward you promised me needs to be changed; I also want a Taiyin Transformation Pride Pill!"

The girl looked deeply at the starfish on the ground. At this moment, another black-robed person of the Starfish Clan suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master, time is almost up. If it's any later, the elders' authority is limited and it's difficult to continue shielding, and it will be probed by the Seven Blood Eyes."

"Your reward can only be obtained after returning to the clan. Since you don't trust me, just come back to the Starfish Clan with me." The girl didn't hesitate, and after speaking, her right hand raised, intending to pick up the starfish possessed by the Ghostly Ghost Clan cultivator on the ground.

But just at this moment...

A cold voice carrying killing intent echoed in all directions.

"So it was you!"

This voice rose, and the starfish on the ground trembled instantly, choosing to commit suicide without any hesitation.

At the same time, that Starfish Clan princess's expression changed, her body retreating rapidly, and the other three Starfish Clan cultivators in the surroundings also shook their bodies, their cultivation erupting, guarding the princess as she retreated.

But it was too late. The next instant, a figure that whistled from afar, like a thunderbolt, roared toward here. This figure no longer hid its appearance, no longer in the middle-aged appearance, but turned into Xu Qing's main body.

His body was as if a continent were burning, the sea of fire emitting from it soaring into the sky. This pitch-black dawn breaking, at this moment, under the reflection of the sea of fire in Xu Qing's body, brightened up instantly.

The killing intent in his eyes was even more monstrous.

Under his feet, a huge Cang Dragon also carried ferocity and hatred—that was the continuation of Xu Qing's emotions, and behind him, the huge Jin Wu screeched toward the sky, black tail flames spreading in all directions, as if a god or demon had descended.

At this moment, Xu Qing no longer had any reservations, the killing intent suppressed in his heart until now all erupted!

His whole body's aura was earth-shattering, heading straight for the four Starfish Clan members.

"Xu Qing!

" That Starfish Clan princess's eyes contracted, her expression changed, wanting to retreat but it was already too late. Xu Qing's figure arrived instantly, his right hand raised and slapping hard toward the ground.

Heaven and earth roared, all directions trembled, and the earth exploded directly.

A huge deep pit formed within, raising a violent aura, making those four Starfish Clan cultivators spit out blood one after another.

There was even one blocking in front, bearing Xu Qing's anger. Under his one palm, his body collapsed instantly, torn apart, body and soul destroyed, and was sucked in by the Jin Wu in one bite.

His soul was also collected by Xu Qing, suppressed in the Dharma aperture, not to impact, but to burn continuously.

The remaining three, at this moment, had their minds roaring, their expressions changing in horror.

Then they three didn't have the slightest hesitation, their cultivation erupted in an instant. It was actually one three-fire and two two-fires!

The three-fire was that princess, and the two-fire were the two clansmen beside her.

But their cultivation, at this moment, had no effect at all, and even the life fires in their bodies were shaking, as if it were difficult to persist for too long. And the killing intent from Xu Qing, which was incomparable, was like a storm, carrying endless anger, venting toward them.
