Chapter 274: No Land of Goodness

With this battle concluded, Xu Qing's name spread thoroughly throughout the Eight Sect Alliance, causing a sensation across one hundred and thirty-seven sects, both large and small.

Sheng Yunzi was someone capable of battling a Golden Core Tiangong; the reason he suppressed the First Peak's Eldest Prince of the Seven Blood Eyes that day was because the Eldest Prince had just broken through and exited seclusion early, before his first complete Tiangong had even formed.

But Xu Qing's situation was completely different; he had suppressed a Golden Core who possessed a Tiangong.

Looking across the entire Yinghuang Province, those capable of such a feat were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Especially since… Xu Qing had not yet reached his limit; he had only ignited three Life Fires.

This caused the disciples of the Eight Sect Alliance to change their attitudes toward Xu Qing one after another. Although there were still those with hostility, more began to harbor feelings of reverence—and among them, the female disciples were the most numerous.

After all, in the Captain's eyes, Xu Qing's appearance was a trump card that surpassed his cultivation base.

However, regardless of the outside world, after this battle, Xu Qing did not leave the guesthouse once, spending his days in meditation and cultivation to integrate his two Life Lamps more thoroughly.

Additionally, Seventh Master had informed him that the battle with Sima Ru was actually a transaction behind the scenes between the Sima family and the Seven Blood Eyes.

At the same time, after all the details regarding the Seven Blood Eyes merging into the Alliance were finalized, the selection of the location had also been completed.

This was confidential; even those present at the meeting found it difficult to know, as it was entirely up to Seventh Master to decide.

Therefore… the Captain, Xu Qing, and the Third Prince were naturally the first to know.

Xu Qing actually had another task upon arriving in Yinghuang Province; it was a fervent and excited request Zhang San had made before he left, telling Xu Qing to inform him of the new sect's location the very first moment he knew, as it involved great interests.

For example, the borderlands, the land surrounding the new site, or even the land within the site itself—according to Zhang San, such an opportunity was once in a millennium.

Zhang San clearly felt the Captain was unreliable, so he urged Xu Qing repeatedly, telling him not to forget.

Thus, after learning of this, Xu Qing informed Zhang San immediately. Zhang San, being a capable man, spared no cost to rely on multiple teleports to arrive at high speed. He only had enough time to exchange a brief greeting with Xu Qing and the Captain before he began to get busy.

Also busy was the Third Senior Brother, who, without a sound, had already begun to lay out his plans.

Subsequently, the other Princes of the various peaks learned of this news. Each of them understood the importance of this information and stopped challenging others, instead trying every method to make money through this news.

In this way, the news naturally could not be kept secret and spread within the Alliance, causing everything surrounding the location chosen by the Seven Blood Eyes to skyrocket in value.

The people of the various sects in the Alliance operated in all sorts of ways. In any case, according to the agreement, the Alliance would be responsible for all relocation costs to show their sincerity. Of course, everyone understood that one shouldn't be too greedy.

One had to know when to stop.

Otherwise, if there were another discussion and the location changed, everyone who had invested would suffer heavy losses.

The Alliance was not overly stingy, as their own people were the biggest beneficiaries. This was considered a tacit distribution among the sects, so they let the news spread for a day before closing the main city's real estate transaction notarization.

Following that, the first wave of the Seven Blood Eyes' teleportation began.

First to arrive were the majority of the Sixth Peak's disciples. Because the Nanhuang Continent was their base, it could not be abandoned, so only sixty percent of the disciples came with the Sixth Master.

Brought along with them was the Sixth Peak itself.

They were to build a massive city at the new sect location. This project was vast and required not only cultivators to complete but also the assistance of mortals to accelerate the process.

Thus, the second and third waves of teleportation soon followed one after another. Almost every day, a large number of Seven Blood Eyes disciples and mortals were teleported over to join in the construction of the city.

The location chosen by the Seven Blood Eyes was at the other end of the distributary of the Eternal Immortal River, connected to the original Seven Sect Alliance by eight giant bridges, each wide enough for a hundred carriages to travel side-by-side.

On the other end was a vast wasteland, where the Taisi Du'e Mountain Range could be seen in the distance.

The design of this city was also determined; it was no longer the square shape like the one in Nanhuang Continent.

Viewed from high above, it was a giant eye.

One end connected to the Forbidden Sea, and the other end was integrated with the Alliance city via bridges. A small channel of the Eternal Immortal River was also opened, winding through the Seven Blood Eyes city and flowing into the sea.

The pupil of this eye would be the future location of the Seven Blood Eyes' seven peaks, while the surrounding area would be the city, with the port area still managed by the Seventh Peak.

Because of the sect construction and city projects, Xu Qing could not fully immerse himself in cultivation during this time. As a Prince of the Seventh Peak, he had too many things to participate in.

For instance, at this moment, as the prototype of the new city was built, the Seven Blood Eyes launched a large-scale teleportation. This time, they were to teleport a large number of civilians and more disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes over.

The preliminary testing of the formation alone took nearly a day, finishing only at dusk. The disciples from the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes who were around also ascended into the sky, watching the surroundings with vigilance.

This time, there were too many mortals. As the primary providers of the Seven Blood Eyes' economy, the Seven Blood Eyes provided great protection for the mortals, so Xu Qing was also assigned to guard one direction.

With him were the Captain and the Third Senior Brother.

The three of them stood in mid-air. On one side was the new city of the Seven Blood Eyes, where the formation was slowly activating, and on the other side was a vast wasteland.

Despite the giant city walls and formations separating the wasteland from the Alliance, standing high in the sky, Yinghuang Province was actually more cruel compared to Nanhuang Continent.

Especially since the location chosen by the Seven Blood Eyes was close to the direction of Taisi Du'e Mountain, the Taisi Du'e Mountain Range appeared very clearly in Xu Qing's eyes—a black mountain range like the corpse of a giant beast.

One after another, the towering black mountains, along with the evil forests and fierce trees, formed the end of this Taisi Du'e Mountain Range as it reached the sea. Looking into the distance, the mountains stretched endlessly, spreading deep into Yinghuang Province, with no end in sight.

"On the other side of the mountain is the territory of the Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain." The Captain stood beside Xu Qing, eating an apple while speaking leisurely.

Xu Qing nodded. Just as he was observing, the formation within the main city behind them activated with a boom. Vast teleportation fluctuations spread in all directions, and heaven-shaking light illuminated the firmament.

Amidst the howling wind and the shaking earth, figures suddenly appeared within the teleportation formation in the main city—dense and numerous, totaling several hundred thousand. Viewed from high above, they looked like a swarm of ants scattering. Everyone who arrived had expressions of mixed excitement and anxiety.

To them, this place was unfamiliar, but it was also the beginning of everything better.

At this moment, as the light shone and the crowd emerged, most of the disciples ascended into the sky, and there were disciples responsible for order arranging things. Both in the sky and on the ground, they were all people of the Seven Blood Eyes.

Xu Qing was also fully focused, gazing in all directions. Just then, suddenly, in the direction of Taisi Du'e Mountain in the distance, the color of the sky changed, and pink clouds faintly rolled in the sky.

The pressure within was heaven-shaking, causing lightning to form in the distance, booming as it scattered in all directions.

This scene drew the high attention of the Seven Blood Eyes. Xue Lianzi's giant face also appeared in the sky, gazing into the distance.

Xu Qing looked as well, and soon he saw a shocking scene!

There were thousands of refugees, seemingly an alien race from a small country in Taisi Du'e Mountain. They were all thin as sticks, their expressions filled with terror and despair, running with all their might.

But the next instant, the pink clouds in the firmament whistled past above them. This pink color was eerie, looking like rouge, and even more like the color of minced meat. At this moment, as it whistled, it transformed into a giant mouth, swallowing directly toward the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all the refugees were in its mouth. The sound of chewing echoed, and blood rain fell—a shocking sight.

There was even a peerless fierce intent spreading across the sky.

As Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, the pink mist surged, forming a giant figure within the clouds.

This figure was a full thousand zhang tall. While giant and astonishing, one could see it was a woman. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her facial features were perfect. As her beautiful eyes flowed, one could see rays of light moving.

Especially her nose, which completely supported her features, making her entire face look very three-dimensional.

Within the clouds, as this woman approached the Seven Blood Eyes at high speed, one could see leopard-like spots on her skin, while her waist was very slender. Her teeth were white, and she wore two strings of jade ornaments on her ears, which made a crisp sound as she moved forward.

Especially her attire, which was extremely exquisite and luxurious to the extreme.

It was a spirit bead jade gauze robe, with at least ten thousand beads on it. Each bead had ten thousand rays of light and contained rich spiritual energy. The jade gauze also emitted an aura, with fragrance drifting for a hundred miles.

Even more astonishing was the phoenix feather totem embroidered with a strand of hair on the chest of the dress.

This totem had endless light and contained heaven-shaking divinity.

This woman was clearly extremely vain. At this moment, as she moved forward, she held a mirror in her hand, looking at her complexion after eating while flying. As she approached the Seven Blood Eyes, Xue Lianzi in the sky spoke gloomily.

"Stop!"

The voice was like heavenly thunder, booming across heaven and earth. The woman in the pink mist looked up, swept a glance at the new city of the Seven Blood Eyes, then looked at Xue Lianzi, and smiled contemptuously.

"Seven Blood Eyes? That taboo of yours is a bit interesting." After saying this, she stretched, revealing her beautiful waist and that luxurious dress. With a flicker, the pink mist changed direction and returned to Taisi Du'e Mountain.

This scene caused Xu Qing's pupils to contract; he felt the opponent's cruelty and the terror of her cultivation base.

"That is the Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain, which keeps one hundred and thirty-seven small countries in captivity as blood food on the other side of the mountain, eating them alive into a living hell. Their resentment reaches the sky, and they are feared by all." The Third Senior Brother spoke softly.

"The Three Spirits Suppressing Dao Mountain's second spirit is named Jueyang Jueyang Lingzun, and the first spirit is named Taiguang Jueyang Lingzun. These three are all in the Great Void Realm. As one of the six major forces in Yinghuang Province, their strength is unfathomable."

"This was a show of force because they saw us choosing this location."

The Third Senior Brother's low voice echoed. Xu Qing looked toward Taisi Du'e Mountain. He felt the cruelty of Yinghuang Province; even if the Alliance was peaceful and harmonious, this world was not like that.

Instead, it was filled with danger and cruelty. This was a world where if you didn't kill others, others would eat you.

But just then, the sound of someone swallowing saliva came very abruptly from beside Xu Qing.

The Captain's eyes were fixed on the direction where the Youjing Jueyang Lingzun had left, glowing as he muttered to himself.

"Every bead is a thousand-year spiritual rhyme bead, and the jade gauze is even refined from rare immortal jade using great divine abilities. This is a gauze of immortal jade, with heaven-shaking immortal energy. If eaten, the benefits would be infinite."

"And that phoenix feather embroidered with hair, the divinity is too strong!"

"Good clothes, my good clothes!"

The Captain's breathing was rapid, and he kept swallowing saliva, the light in his eyes unprecedented. ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
