Chapter 447: Divine Son's Outing
Xu Qing said this sentence very naturally, not as an order, but as an instruction from an Upper Clan to a Lower Clan.
Hearing this, the Captain felt a touch of amazement in his heart. Xu Qing's opening was truly exquisite, like a general!
The Black-Clad Guards' previous behavior of forcing the palace was already a general, and Xu Qing's return sentence was also a general.
The fact was indeed so. As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, all the Black-Clad Guards around changed their expressions greatly, and that Lin Yuandong trembled all over, his breathing also uncontrollably rapid.
The life lamp in his body had already turned into a heavenly palace, becoming a part of himself. Taking it out at this time... was basically destroying one palace and losing half his life, and even for his foundation, it would be an irreversible heavy blow.
This kind of behavior, if placed elsewhere, was basically a situation of life and death.
And Lin Yuandong, from childhood to adulthood, whether before or after becoming a Black-Clad Guard, had always been a heaven's pride. While his father was in a high position, he himself also had astonishing aptitude, rising rapidly in the Black-Clad Guards, climbing step by step.
And as a second-level registration, it also made him possess a noble bloodline within the Saint Lan Clan, standing above too many people, and he had always had a sense of superiority belonging to himself in his bones.
But today, he felt as if he were a dog, having received great humiliation. Most importantly, this kind of humiliation, the other party said it extremely naturally, and it happened that it should indeed be so natural.
No matter what identity Lin Yuandong had in the Saint Lan Clan, it was useless in front of the Black Heaven Clan, unless it was the Imperial Clan, which would have some say, but if this person in front of him was really a Divine Son, I'm afraid even the Imperial Clan would be useless.
After all, their Saint Lan Clan existed by attaching themselves to the Black Heaven Clan. The relationship was not equal, but master and servant!
Also changing in expression was Zhou Xingwu!
He couldn't maintain his initial coldness. At this moment, his eyes contracted, looking at Xu Qing, and various thoughts in his heart turned rapidly.
In reality, the imperial edict didn't require that these two Black Heaven clansmen must be invited back to the capital; it was his own way of doing things.
But he didn't expect the other party to speak like this, which formed a situation that was impossible to resolve.
He couldn't follow the instruction to take out Lin Yuandong's life lamp. If he did so, he wouldn't be able to stand in the Black-Clad Guards in the future, and he would also deeply offend the Tidu.
The other party didn't dare to offend the Black Heaven Clan, but punishing himself was easy.
But if he didn't listen... the situation of strong invitation he had set up at the beginning would be difficult to maintain.
Just when he felt it was tricky, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with cold light, and he spoke indifferently.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Xingwu's brows furrowed tightly, and all the Black-Clad Guards were breathing rapidly, looking at him.
In their cognition, if the Commander could really take out Lin Yuandong's life lamp because of this sentence, then their lives would actually be in the hands of that Black Heaven clansman.
Lin Yuandong's eyes also turned red, looking at Zhou Xingwu.
Seeing the situation reach such a degree, suddenly a gentle voice came from afar.
"Divine Son."
As the voice came, the Sovereign of the Heavenly Peak Kingdom came quickly. After bowing respectfully to Xu Qing, he swept a cold glance at Zhou Xingwu.
To him, the Black Heaven Clan Divine Son was naturally real, and must be real, and had to be real.
If so, his offspring being blessed and raised to the first level was naturally real, so... regardless, before the Black Heaven Divine Temple had a conclusion, this matter was real.
Thus, for Zhou Xingwu's behavior, he was naturally extremely displeased, but as a colleague, he still had to smooth things over.
"Divine Son, the life lamp in this child's body has been tainted and is a bit dirty, but I know there are still life lamps in the Tianfeng Upper Kingdom that have not been allocated. Why not change to another one?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingwu nodded immediately and clasped his fists towards Xu Qing.
"My Lord, I will contact the upper level immediately. The moment you step into our Tianfeng Kingdom, the life lamp will be presented to you."
Xu Qing's expression was calm, without joy or sorrow, but the more he was like this, the more the sense of majesty was revealed.
On the side, the Captain's expression revealed anger at this moment, and he let out a low drink.
"You are presumptuous! Just a mere life lamp, and you want our clan's Divine Son to move to take it!"
Hearing this, Xu Qing sighed in his heart. The Captain's sentence quietly changed the concept of going to the Tianfeng Kingdom.
The Heavenly Peak Sovereign heard this and also looked at Zhou Xingwu, deliberately expressing his displeasure in his heart on his face.
Zhou Xingwu sighed secretly, knowing that his intention to strongly invite the other party to the Tianfeng Kingdom was already impossible, unless he really took out Lin Yuandong's life lamp.
Otherwise, going to strongly invite them like he did at the beginning would be a neglect of the Black Heaven Clan, and this Heavenly Peak Sovereign in front of him would never allow himself to do so.
But he also had doubts in his heart, which was why these two were repelling going to the Tianfeng Kingdom. Following this thought was suspicion.
However, he knew very well that this was not something he could worry about. Naturally, there were people above to identify it. If it was fake, so be it, but once it was true, participating too much in it would not lead to a good end.
Thus, he bowed his head.
"It is this subordinate's negligence. This subordinate will transmit this matter of the life lamp back to the Upper Kingdom."
Xu Qing looked at Lin Yuandong and shook his head.
"I have many life lamps; I don't lack your Saint Lan Clan's. However, this blue stone carving is a bit special, so I want this one."
As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, Lin Yuandong, who was being stared at by him, trembled, his expression revealing grief and indignation, clenching his fists tightly. Tense, angry, and other emotions churned rapidly in his heart, but he didn't dare to explode, nor did he dare to speak out in rebuttal.
He knew very well that if he said even one word of disrespect, today would not be as simple as losing a life lamp.
That sense of humiliation of being suppressed by the Upper Clan made him feel as if poisonous fire was churning in his heart, intense to the extreme.
Zhou Xingwu also frowned, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.
The Captain on the side swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, secretly thinking that Xu Qing, you are too crazy. If the other party really took action, it would be over.
"Zhang San was right, this Little A-Qing... is crazier than me in his bones!"
While everyone in this place had their minds turning rapidly, Xu Qing walked towards Lin Yuandong.
As he approached, the majesty represented by the three words "Black Heaven Clan" rose intensely in the heart of every Saint Lan Clan cultivator in this place.
Watching Xu Qing walk to Lin Yuandong's front, cold light flashed in Zhou Xingwu's eyes. No one knew how he thought.
And Lin Yuandong's forehead was sweating and his body was trembling violently. When his grief and indignation reached the extreme, turning into despair, Xu Qing, who was standing in front of him, suddenly smiled.
With this smile, all the oppression in this place dissipated in an instant.
In the smile, Xu Qing raised his hand, patted Lin Yuandong on the shoulder lightly, and spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm joking."
Lin Yuandong trembled all over, stunned there.
Xu Qing shook his head and smiled, turned around, and walked towards the place where the True Immortal Ten-Intestine was located in the distance.
The Captain blinked and followed immediately behind. And Qingqiu and Ning Yan, after witnessing this scene with their own eyes, also had waves in their hearts and hurriedly followed behind.
As for the Black-Clad Guards blocking the road in front, they instinctively dispersed to make way one by one, bowing respectfully to Xu Qing.
As Xu Qing walked away, all the Black-Clad Guards breathed a long sigh of relief, their expressions complex.
Especially Lin Yuandong, his breathing was still rapid, his heart turned from the previous intense tension and despair to an instant reversal. This change in mood actually made him feel gratitude towards Xu Qing incredibly.
Within this gratitude, it contained awe of Xu Qing's unpredictable mood.
What is a big shot?
Everyone's definition of a big shot is a bit different, but in the final analysis, they can affect your emotions between joy and anger. If he is happy, you relax; if he is angry, you are afraid. Being able to decide your emotions in a word, deciding your life and death.
This is a big shot.
At this moment, these Black-Clad Guards looked at the departing Xu Qing, and the words told by their ancestors for generations that the majesty of the Black Heaven Clan could not be offended couldn't help but emerge.
Before this, they knew these things, but it was different from experiencing it personally.
After all, the Black Heaven Divine Temple usually kept a low profile and was high above, so they couldn't contact them.
But at this time, the gazes they looked at Xu Qing with all appeared with the same awe as Lin Yuandong.
In the distance, Xu Qing's voice came again.
"Zhou Xingwu, before sunset today, I want to see a life lamp. In addition, what are you all stunned for? Follow me to the depths of the True Immortal Ten-Intestine. And Heavenly Peak Sovereign, you come too."
The Heavenly Peak Sovereign hurriedly said yes. He was extremely firm about Xu Qing's identity as a Black Heaven clansman, and he had to be firm, which represented that his son's future would be brilliant.
Xu Qing naturally knew this point, which was also the potential reason for his blessing before. Sometimes, the binding of honor and loss can make normal people willingly choose to be blind.
"Respect the imperial edict." Zhou Xingwu also lowered his head. He didn't have much pressure on this matter. He just needed to pass the word. Whether to give the life lamp or not was decided by the above.
It was just that for all the behaviors of this Black Heaven clansman, the emotion in his heart was not small.
At this moment, he took out a jade slip to leave a message, handed it to his subordinates to transmit back to the Tianfeng Kingdom, and then he took a group of Black-Clad Guards to catch up with Xu Qing and the four, guarding them in the surroundings. Among them, Lin Yuandong worked even harder, protecting Xu Qing, vigilant in all directions.
The Captain was in high spirits, occasionally sweeping over the Black-Clad Guards around, and then looking at the calm Xu Qing. He felt extremely stimulated in his heart. He felt that this time was very enjoyable. As a Sword-Wielding Officer, he actually let the Black-Clad Guards guard and clear the way.
"Heading to the depths of the True Immortal Ten-Intestine, the subsequent tribulations are fine, but the first tribulation is extremely dangerous after being reversed. With these Black-Clad Guards clearing the way, everything is easy to handle."
Just like this, their group slowly approached the jungle of the True Immortal Ten-Intestine tree. This place had changed compared to before. At this moment, all the fruits had opened their eyes, and under the sunlight, these eyes exuded gloomy light, coldly looking at the people approaching.
And in the distance, those ten black-brown huge winding tree trunks soared into the sky, exuding terrifying auras, and an intense sense of oppression descended on the world invisibly. Compared to it, the people on the ground were like ants.
While this True Immortal Ten-Intestine was magnificent, it was also affecting everyone's blood and interfering with their minds, making everyone who approached instinctively feel fear in their hearts.
"Divine Son, when the True Immortal Ten-Intestine blossoms, there are many weird things inside. Your identity is noble, so please take care of your divine body and don't enter the depths easily. If you really need anything, this subordinate and Commander Zhou Xingwu can help you take it."
Following behind Xu Qing, the Heavenly Peak Sovereign looked at the depths of the True Immortal Ten-Intestine solemnly and spoke in a low voice.
"What kind of weird things? Tell me about it." Xu Qing's expression was calm, looking at the distance.
Hearing Xu Qing's curiosity, the Heavenly Peak Sovereign clasped his fists and spoke respectfully.
"Divine Son, according to the records of our thirty-six city-states, when the Dao Fruits of the True Immortal Ten-Intestine are formed once every hundred years and the Ten-Intestine tree blossoms, there will be chaos in time and space inside."
"Those who enter will mostly get lost inside and find it difficult to return. Occasionally, someone will break out by force, saying that the process involved entering different time and space, and some even saw the E-Immortal Clan becoming an immortal with their own eyes."
The Heavenly Peak Sovereign spoke respectfully. He could understand the reason why the Divine Son didn't know these things. After all, for the Black Heaven clansmen living in other domains, the Great Wilderness Eastern County of the Saint Lan Domain was just a remote small area.
It was reasonable for the other party to be knowledgeable but not know the details of this place.
"Besides that, the deeper one goes, the more curses exist. There are records of Great Cultivators of the Return to Void falling here." The Heavenly Peak Sovereign's expression revealed wariness. ===== CHAPTER 448 =====
