Chapter 268: Eight Sect Alliance

Yan Yan's grandmother's words echoed through heaven and earth, spreading throughout the entire sect.

Xu Qing remained silent.

The Captain and Third Senior Brother beside him looked at him instantly, and even the Second Senior Sister stopped transmitting sound and looked at Xu Qing.

And Seventh Uncle in front also turned his head to look at Xu Qing, his eyes revealing appreciation.

"Not bad, you have the demeanor I had back then."

As he spoke, he looked at the other three disciples as if hating them for not meeting expectations, but when he swept past the second disciple, he automatically ignored her, focusing entirely on the eldest and the third.

And regarding the third, he thought about it and also ignored him, so his gaze fell entirely on the eldest.

"You should learn from your Junior Brother!"

"If I looked like him, I could do it too. Little A-Qing's face is very hard to imitate even with divine abilities!" The Captain felt aggrieved and somewhat depressed.

At the same time, in the sky, the one who was even more depressed, and whose anger could not be released, turning into stifled frustration, was the Lingyun Ancestor. He stared at Venerable Dongyou, his expression incomparably ugly.

He had not expected that for a mere lowly commoner, it was one thing for Blood Xue Lianzi to protect him, but this Venerable Dongyou, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs and never allied with anyone, would actually speak up to protect him so directly.

Thinking of his grandson's severe injuries, life and death unknown, thinking of his sect's Life Lamp being stolen, thinking of this lack of success, and thinking that the Seven Blood Eyes already possessed the qualifications of an Upper Sect, and their overall strength was not a bit weaker than any of the seven sects.

All of this made bloodshot eyes permeate his eyes, but he knew very well that the Seven Blood Eyes' promotion to an Upper Sect could no longer be blocked. After all, the Seven Sect Alliance was an alliance, not a single sect's territory.

There were eight people in the Elder Senate of the Seven Sect Alliance: one Alliance Leader and seven ancestors. Although they were a common interest group, there was friction between them. The Seven Blood Eyes' current strength, especially that taboo magic treasure, meant that they not only had the qualification to become an Upper Sect, but after joining the Seven Sect Alliance, the Alliance's own strength would also be raised by a large margin.

He knew this very well; others would definitely have tacit approval. Even recalling the series of plans of the Seven Blood Eyes, he did not believe that there would be no supporters within the Seven Sect Alliance who had long been in contact with the Seven Blood Eyes.

Thus, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"If the Seven Blood Eyes return the Life Lamp, my Lingyun Sword Sect will fully support joining the Alliance! Otherwise, bear the consequences! Whether friend or foe, Blood Xue Lianzi, you can decide with one word!"

As he spoke, the Lingyun Ancestor raised his right hand and pointed to the sky. Instantly, within the blood sea in the sky, the blood tree that had already condensed to a certain degree sank down, as if about to descend upon the Seven Blood Eyes.

For a time, pressure rose within the Seven Blood Eyes, and Blood Xue Lianzi laughed in anger.

"Interesting. Lingyun, you have quite a lot of poisonous thoughts. If my Seven Blood Eyes join the Alliance and still have to sacrifice the interests of disciples, how will other disciples view my sect?"

"If there are greater benefits in the future, will they also be sacrificed? How will allies view my sect? Can I sacrifice them in the future? How much will my sect's face be damaged because of this?"

"Lingyun old ghost, these words of yours are heart-stabbing."

"It seems you don't believe in my sect's taboo."

Hearing this, Blood Xue Lianzi's gaze became sharp. He raised his right hand and waved it directly. Instantly, heaven and earth rumbled. In the moment when the other Seven Sect Alliance ancestors all looked solemn, on the Sea Corpse Clan, the huge bronze ancient mirror rotated fiercely, directly facing the Seven Blood Eyes, and the moment it completely locked onto the Lingyun Ancestor, the seven eyes on the seven Corpse Ancestor statues below opened one.

There were no pupils in this eye, only a sea of blood. The moment it opened and closed, a cold wind that seemed capable of freezing the nine heavens directly shrouded the Seven Blood Eyes. Furthermore, within this mirror, Lingyun Ancestor's figure was reflected.

The Lingyun Ancestor's expression changed. A strong life-and-death crisis erupted in his heart instantly. For many years, he had not felt this kind of crisis for a long time.

It was the trembling of all the flesh and blood in his body, the trembling of his spirituality, the sharp roar of life, just like facing a natural enemy, just like the other party controlling his life and death, grasping his divine soul.

The feeling that he could die in the next instant made his heart shake wildly, and his cultivation erupted heaven-shakingly, about to resist.

At this moment, from the direction of the Sea Corpse Clan, a cold voice came from the bronze mirror.

"Life-and-death, judgment!"

The mirror surface of the bronze mirror reflected the Lingyun Ancestor, who turned around, carrying incomparable ferocity and hideousness, as if existing alone, no longer Lingyun himself, and his body collapsed and exploded instantly!

Afterward, the eye closed.

At the same time, inside the Seven Blood Eyes, the Lingyun Ancestor vomited blood wildly, and his body exploded with a bang, just like what the mirror surface had shown, his entire body collapsing and turning into a blood mist.

But in the distance, he re-condensed, only his expression was paler than ever before, the light in his eyes was extremely dim, and his expression revealed disbelief.

At this moment, that cold voice echoed again.

"Judgment failed, awaiting second judgment."

Blood Xue Lianzi's expression was ferocious, about to make a move, but at this time the other six ancestors of the Seven Sect Alliance immediately blocked him. But the next instant, Blood Xue Lianzi laughed hideously and roared.

"Taboo, open all!"

Instantly, below the bronze ancient mirror on the Sea Corpse Clan, the seven Corpse Ancestor statues had their blood and qi rolling unprecedentedly, soaring to the clouds, wanting to swallow mountains and rivers. The six eyes that hadn't opened and the seventh eye that had just closed, at this instant... all opened!

Seven eyes, divided into seven gazes, shuttled through the Forbidden Sea and landed directly on the seven ancestors of the Seven Sect Alliance within the Seven Blood Eyes!

These seven ancestors all trembled, their expressions changing rapidly.

They discovered that the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo was even more bizarre than they had judged before. It was not a simple life-and-death judgment, but after failure, it could turn into a heavy blow.

This kind of heavy blow could clearly be superimposed. That is to say, even if one's luck was heaven-defying and one survived seven judgments without dying, one would inevitably be close to death under these seven heavy injuries.

More importantly, the power source of this taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes was so abundant that you didn't know how many times it could be activated consecutively. This point was the most terrifying, because other sects' taboos could only be used for a short time.

Although in all likelihood, the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo could also not be activated many times, they dared not gamble, and there was no need to.

Thus, in this dilemma, the ancestors of the Lingxia Valley and the Tianjian Treasure Sect immediately spoke.

"Our sect agrees to the Seven Blood Eyes joining the Alliance!"

"Our sect seconds the motion!"

The agreement of these two sects seemed to be caused by the situation. But in Lingyun's eyes, it was not like this. He recalled the taboo light he had activated when he deterred the Seven Blood Eyes back then. At that time, the Alliance's secret target was the Shaosi Sect.

But on the surface, it was to deter the Seven Blood Eyes. Originally, the plan was only for his sect to activate it, but an accident happened at that time, and the Lingxia Valley and the Tianjian Treasure Sect also activated it.

Although there was an explanation to him afterward, looking at it now, these two sects clearly had collusion back then, worrying about him not following the plan and really bombing the Seven Blood Eyes.

"They had collusion long ago!" The Lingyun Ancestor's expression was pale. Following the agreement of the Lingxia Valley and the Tianjian Treasure Sect, the other four sect ancestors all had intentions.

Seeing this, he felt sorrowful in his heart and wanted to make a move, but that feeling of life-and-death in an instant made him unable to be firm. But now that his face had surpassed the Life Lamp, he was riding a tiger and hard to get off. A vicissitudes voice suddenly came from above the sky, drifting down.

"We are all family, why go to such great lengths? Everything is a misunderstanding."

"Lingyun fellow Daoist, come back. Other fellow Daoists, come back too. Blood Xue Lianzi fellow Daoist, this Alliance welcomes you to join the Elder Senate, and also welcomes the Seven Blood Eyes to join the Alliance. You can come and discuss the details of the Seven Blood Eyes' migration with us."

"This is an oath, witnessed by Wanggu. After the discussion, the Seven Sect Alliance will change to the Eight Sect Alliance."

"Blood Xue Lianzi fellow Daoist, what is your intention?"

This voice carried gentleness. As it drifted, a huge face appeared above the sky, its aura astonishing. As soon as it appeared, it formed a suppression, shrouding the nine Void Return first-stage ancestors below.

But not a sliver was scattered within the Seven Blood Eyes disciples and the mountain gate.

This face was a middle-aged cultivator, looking like a scholar, appearing without a sliver of hostility, gazing calmly at Blood Xue Lianzi. At the same time, above this face, there was actually a larger face, exactly the same as him.

Layered, there was a third, fourth, fifth... one larger than the other, spreading no one knew how far. Because they were higher and higher, the world could not see the limit, and there was even an illusion that the sky over Nanhuangzhou was all this person.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!" In mid-air, the Seven Sect Alliance ancestors bowed respectfully toward the face in the sky with solemn expressions.

This scene made Xu Qing's breathing rapid. The Captain beside him revealed brilliance in his eyes, and Seventh Uncle in front also raised his head to gaze, muttering softly in his mouth.

"Void Return Great Realm Second Stage, Myriad Transformations of Reality and Illusion..."

Xu Qing raised his head to gaze at the sky, his heart surging with huge waves, and longing slowly appeared in his eyes. He also wanted to become this powerful.

At this moment, Blood Xue Lianzi also took a deep breath and bowed toward the huge face, agreeing to the matter.

The next instant, the face in the sky dissipated. In mid-air, the Lingyun Ancestor's expression was ugly. He flicked his sleeve, rolled up the sect disciples who had been aggressive and later trembling with fear, and turned into a long rainbow, heading far away.

As for the other sects, they all cupped their fists toward Blood Xue Lianzi and Venerable Dongyou, each heading far away. The ancestor of the Profound Dark Sect within was a woman, but her appearance could not be seen clearly. Before leaving, she swept a glance at the peak of the Seventh Peak, seemed to smile, turned around, and left.

Only the ancestors of the Lingxia Valley and the Tianjian Treasure Sect remained, not leaving immediately.

They were a man and a woman. The woman was delicate, and the man had a big beard. Regardless of appearance or aura, they exuded transcendence, light shining in their eyes, revealing smiles toward Blood Xue Lianzi and Venerable Dongyou, their expressions revealing reminiscence.

Clearly, the relationship between the four of them had had opportunities in their early years, which was extraordinary. Now that the major event was accomplished, there was no need to hide anything.

"We will wait for you in the Alliance."

"Blood Refining younger brother, welcome to the Alliance!"

Blood Xue Lianzi laughed out loud, Venerable Dongyou's expression was relaxed, and after some reminiscing, the ancestors of the Lingxia Valley and the Tianjian Treasure Sect bid farewell, stepping on the sky and returning to the Wanggu Continent.

Following everyone's departure, following the end of Seventh Uncle's apprenticeship, Blood Xue Lianzi announced all the layouts of the Seven Blood Eyes this time and also informed all directions.

The Seven Blood Eyes would merge into the Seven Sect Alliance, becoming the Eight Sect Alliance, and would migrate over in the near future.

The entire Seven Blood Eyes disciples, after thoroughly understanding this matter, were all excited in their hearts. This excitement lasted for seven or eight days without decreasing. The entire sect was filled with strong joy, and what they talked about every day was all this.

On the contrary, Xu Qing here quieted down. Although he became the Fourth Prince of the Seventh Peak, he had been fully adapting to the second Life Lamp in his body during this period.

And the sect did not ask the slightest bit about his two Life Lamps; this was tacit approval.

Until a few more days passed, the sect issued an announcement.

Three days later, the Seven Blood Eyes would form a negotiation team, led by the Ancestor and Seventh Uncle, to go to the Seven Sect Alliance of the Wanggu Continent to negotiate all details of the merger and migration.

The migration and merger of a sect was by no means a small matter. Before this, there were many things to negotiate and coordinate. However, the one conducting the negotiation was not Xu Qing; he was arranged to be a listed attendee to participate in this matter.

Also participating were the Captain and the Third Prince, as well as several princes from other peaks.

This time, the Seven Sect Alliance would restrain all arrogance and needed to welcome their arrival with an equal attitude and high-standard etiquette.

And on the night before departure, Xu Qing had a dream.

He had rarely had dreams in these years.

In the dream, he returned to his childhood, returned to his parents' side, and returned to the city where he was born.

At that time, he was not yet a homeless child.

At that time, he still had a happy home.

At that time, he still did not know the evil of the world eating people.

In the dream, his parents' appearance was a bit vague. He tried very hard to remember, but it still gradually faded in the years. This had nothing to do with cultivation; this was human instinct.

But his brother was very clear.

He had a brother.

In the dream, his brother had a very good relationship with him. The two grew up together, played with mud together, laughed together, went to school together, and whispered in the night together.

And Xu Qing when he was young was very weak. Every time he was bullied, it was his brother who ran over to beat away the people who bullied him, helped him up when he fell, and then would touch his head, his voice very gentle, carrying warmth.

"Little Brother, don't cry, your brother is here."

Reporting the results to everyone, the average subscription of "Outside of Time" has reached 85,000, and it will soon surpass "Eternal Will" (90,000 average). It should reach 100,000 average subscriptions next month. It seems there are works with 100,000 average subscriptions in Qidian for so many years, but I don't know the specifics.

Thank you for the support of the handsome guys and beautiful ladies. Although Little Mengxin writes slowly, I will work harder to write better stories. ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
