Chapter 53: Colleagues (Added update for Great Alliance Leader Yanhui)

At this moment, the setting sun was approaching dusk.

The afterglow spilled onto the small mountain path, gradually dimming.

Xu Qing carried the brocade box on his back and looked at the sky. Recalling the round-faced cultivator's words in his mind, his understanding of the Seven Blood Eyes was now clear.

He knew that although this main city seemed orderly, it actually hid huge dangers, especially at night, when the malice from all directions was even worse. There were always people who, for the sake of better survival, chose to bare their fangs at others.

There was no right or wrong in this.

But Xu Qing did not want to become the nourishment for others to survive better, so he touched the brocade box on his back, preparing to find a dark place to put it into his storage bag without anyone noticing.

Thus, he quickened his pace.

Before long, he followed the mountain path down, and at the foot of the mountain, he saw two figures who had changed into gray Dao robes.

A man and a woman, it was Zhou Qingpeng and Xu Xiaohui.

Xu Xiaohui was beautiful in appearance. Although the gray robe hid her graceful figure, the slight bulges of her chest and buttocks gave this gray robe a touch of alluring charm on her.

As for Zhou Qingpeng, he was already handsome. At this moment, with the gray Dao robe on, he looked very elegant, making Xu Xiaohui's eyes reveal a sense of infatuation.

It was just unclear whether she was infatuated with Zhou Qingpeng as a person, or his Dharma Boat.

Seeing Xu Qing's figure appear, Zhou Qingpeng laughed and walked toward Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, you finally came down. I've been waiting for you for a while."

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, but his heart was full of vigilance. He did not get close, looked up at Zhou Qingpeng's neck from seven or eight zhang away, and his right hand hung casually beside the pocket hiding the black iron sign.

"Everyone is a Seventh Peak disciple, and we are in the same batch of newcomers. Moreover, we are not very familiar with the sect, so I think we should get closer."

"That way, if there is anything in the future, we can have one more friend and one more connection." Zhou Qingpeng's attitude was sincere as he cupped his fists toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's vigilance did not decrease upon hearing this, but he felt that what the other party said made some sense, so he nodded.

Zhou Qingpeng's smile remained on his face. He spoke simply for a few sentences. Seeing that Xu Qing did not like to talk, he exchanged communication information from afar and then bid farewell, taking Xu Xiaohui away.

Watching their departing figures, Xu Qing lowered his head to look at the identity token in his hand. The communication information the other party just exchanged was based on this token as a medium.

"Can it talk?" Xu Qing looked at it curiously. Spiritual energy surged into his body, and immediately his own information within the token appeared in his mind.

This made him feel very strange, so he moved forward while studying it.

When he walked into the city, he found a corner, put the brocade box he was carrying into his storage bag, and did not change into the gray Dao robe, remaining in that dirty leather coat.

If it were daytime, in this tidy main city, his scavenger attire would be very conspicuous. But now it was night, which was more convenient for him to hide. At the same time, he felt this attire could also avoid some troubles he could not solve.

After all, scavengers were mostly very poor, and those who could target him would naturally not be any experts, so he could handle it.

At the same time, he also understood the functions of the identity token, knew how to transmit sound, and also saw the appointment department marked in his information inside.

"Arrest Murderers Division?" Xu Qing muttered. Although he did not understand the functions of the appointment department, he could guess one or two from the literal meaning. This department... seemed very cruel and dangerous.

As for the reporting time, the information stipulated it was tomorrow. At the same time, in this identity token, there was also the location of his small black-awning boat's berth.

For disciples who possess a Dharma Boat, the sect will allocate berths on its own and give a one-month rent-free period. After one month, a fee is required. The price is thirty thousand contribution points per month, which is thirty spirit stones. If not paid, the berth will be automatically canceled.

"Berth 33, Xuan character, 79th Port?" Xu Qing looked up in the direction of the sea. His figure flickered in the dark, carrying deep vigilance, and he moved forward rapidly while trying his best not to reveal his tracks.

Just like this, time passed. Soon, dusk faded away, and night descended.

Thousands of households in the city closed their doors one after another. The noise of the daytime turned into silence at this moment.

And this dark night also completely covered Xu Qing's figure. His eyes slowly narrowed, his footsteps became faster, and he gradually noticed the murderous intent of the night in this city at night.

He saw slaughter, saw people fleeing for their lives, saw the coldness of pursuit, and also saw robbery.

Regarding this, Xu Qing, who was in the dark, just took a glance, withdrew his gaze, did not participate, and continued on his way.

In the dark night, his figure was like a ghost.

Besides this, he also saw some casinos and brothels, where the lights were bright, revealing the prosperity of the other side of this city.

Perhaps it was because Xu Qing was more cautious and stealthy this time, so he did not encounter anyone taking action against him along the way.

But occasionally he could still feel gazes from the darkness, containing coldness and malice. But after noticing his scavenger attire, most chose to ignore him, as if he did not exist.

Xu Qing remained silent, galloping fast. Another hour passed, and he was getting closer and closer to the port.

There were more than a hundred ports here. The place Xu Qing was going to was the 79th Port in the purple area.

But just as he was searching, Xu Qing's expression suddenly moved. He hid in the entrance of an alley and looked forward.

Bursts of footsteps and whistling sounds came from afar. Soon, in Xu Qing's eyes, a group of cultivators wearing gray Dao robes, each with a murderous expression and a cold aura emanating from their whole bodies, were galloping fast.

Some were on the road, some were on the surrounding buildings, seemingly searching.

On their Dao robes, they all wore a badge with a blood-colored "Arrest" character on it.

This scene made Xu Qing's eyes narrow. He felt the spiritual energy fluctuations on these Seven Blood Eyes disciples, many of which were permeated with malevolent Qi.

"Arrest Murderers Division?" Xu Qing guessed.

At this moment, some of these Seven Blood Eyes cultivators discovered Xu Qing in the corner. Even though he hid very well, there were many of them, and they were full of vigilance, so he could not avoid them.

A young man with phoenix eyes among them glanced coldly at Xu Qing and walked over quickly.

As the other party approached, a fierce and malevolent intent rushed toward him. Xu Qing's body immediately tightened. He felt an incomparably strong sense of crisis from the other party. Before the person arrived, the aura had already permeated the surroundings like a cold wind.

This kind of malevolent Qi is only possessed by those who have killed many people.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He knew that if he fled at this moment, the other party would definitely take action under the traction of the Qi mechanism. Thus, he stood there, did not retreat, but looked at the other party, while his right hand landed on the leather bag containing the black iron sign, ready to be taken out at any time.

"Identity token!" After the young man arrived, he looked Xu Qing up and down, his gaze landing on his right hand.

Many disciples beside him also approached, surrounding Xu Qing from all directions, their expressions cold, as if they would take action immediately if Xu Qing revealed anything abnormal.

Xu Qing noticed the placement of the other party's gaze, and his heart became more determined to change his habits. At this moment, sweeping across the surroundings, he cautiously took out the identity token and handed it over.

The young man took it and looked at it. The coldness in his expression faded a little, and there was a bit more surprise. He smiled at his companion beside him.

"Actually encountered a newcomer coming to report to our Seventh Peak Arrest Murderers Division."

"Alright, everyone restrain yourselves. Don't let the little kid not be killed by criminals, but instead be scared by you to the point of not daring to report." As his words came out, most of the auras around were retracted, but there were still a few that kept Xu Qing locked on.

"Sure enough, it's the Arrest Murderers Division." Xu Qing felt that more than half of the Qi mechanism locked on his body had been reduced. And the young man with phoenix eyes returned the token to Xu Qing at this moment and looked him up and down.

"Little kid is a bit interesting. Hurry up and go. It's very dangerous in the city tonight."

Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this sentence, took back the identity token, and was just about to leave. But at this moment, in the night sky in the distance, a shrill scream clearly pierced the sky.

This sound was sharp, and there were roars echoing.

Xu Qing's expression tightened. He immediately turned his head to look, and immediately saw on a tower building in the distance, a black shadow spraying blood, galloping through the air.

Although the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body were a bit chaotic, the Foundation Establishment aura made Xu Qing's heart tremble.

And behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a purple Dao robe, with an expression of dignity without anger, had an aura like a rainbow. Even though the spiritual energy fluctuations were far away, they were rising like fire, even more powerful.

As he whistled and approached in the sky, this purple-robed middle-aged man directly raised his hand, and a long spear suddenly appeared in his hand, which he threw fiercely forward.

The void seemed to be shattered, setting off huge fluctuations that expanded in all directions. As it expanded, the long spear seemed to burn under friction, turning into a fire dragon, rushing straight toward the fleeing black shadow.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if the sky was about to be torn apart, making the light of this fire dragon dazzling and very gorgeous.

The speed was so fast that it broke through the air in an instant. Under the sharper whistling sound, it was like splitting bamboo, directly piercing the chest of the black shadow, bringing his body with a bang, nailing it to the blue bricks on the street. The impact set off was like a storm, sweeping in all directions.

Clean and neat, crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!

This scene made Xu Qing's heart tremble strongly. The black shadow killed by the other party, in Xu Qing's feeling, was about the same as the ancestor of the Jin Gang Sect.

And the purple-robed middle-aged man's spear was incomparably powerful. He asked himself that if he encountered it, he would have no chance to dodge at all, and would definitely perish.

"It's the Division Chief!"

"Go!"

At this moment, the Arrest Murderers Division disciples beside him were excited, no longer paying attention to Xu Qing, but one by one unfolded their full speed, rushing straight to the battlefield.

Until they walked far away, the shock in Xu Qing's heart and the demeanor of that spear were still permeating his mind. After a long while, he took a deep breath, and longing appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know when I can be like this!" Xu Qing muttered, looked deeply at the direction where the purple-robed middle-aged man disappeared, turned around, and walked quickly.

He felt the unrest of the night. At this moment, his speed unfolded. After half an hour passed, he finally found the 79th Port.

The port was different from the city. The light here was darker. Although there were guards patrolling and although they were all vigilant, when they saw pedestrians, their choice was to avoid them. It was clear that their vigilance was not for order, but to prevent themselves from being harmed by others.

After seeing Xu Qing, they were like this. After a glance, they did not ask any questions and walked away immediately.

Xu Qing looked vigilantly at the patrolling cultivators who walked away and fell silent. Regarding the danger of the Seven Blood Eyes, he gained some more understanding.

At this moment, he slowly approached the port. Here, the dampness of the sea breeze was clearer. As the waves rose and fell, he could see the 79th bay was horseshoe-shaped, the seawater shaking inside, constantly hitting the shore.

The boats inside were mostly separated by a certain distance, as if they were all on guard against each other. Their sizes were about the same, but their shapes were slightly different. But looking closely, the basic appearance was mostly like the small black-awning boat in Xu Qing's bottle, a full two hundred or so.

But this 79th bay was too big, and the docking of these boats only occupied less than 20% of the area.

Although there were some lights on inside, it was very quiet, and no disciples were seen going out. It seemed that for everyone, the arrival of night was the peak of vigilance.

At the same time, Xu Qing also found that the spiritual energy here was very rich, and so were the foreign substances, seemingly emanating from the sea.

And the pitch-black seawater blocked the line of sight, making people unable to see what existed on the seabed.

This unknown made people uneasy. At the same time, it seemed that huge dangers were hidden on the seabed. Xu Qing just took a look and felt the hair all over his body stand up, having a feeling of a forbidden zone.

"Cultivating here, the improvement must be very fast, and it is always in a state of tempering..." Xu Qing muttered, took a few quick steps, and found Xuan character 33.

The location there was a bit remote, the surroundings were empty, and there were not many small boats.

Arriving here, Xu Qing observed the surroundings cautiously. After confirming that there was no problem, he took out the small bottle from the brocade box, opened it, and a light flashed in the small bottle. The small black-awning boat inside flew out and expanded on its own when it landed on the water surface.

With a bang, it landed on the sea, setting off ripples. What appeared in front of Xu Qing was a boat that was one zhang wide and three zhang long.

Entirely black, every plank was carved with a large number of runes. While emitting black light, it also emitted spiritual energy fluctuations, which was quite extraordinary.

The material of the black awning seemed to be the skin of some kind of exotic beast, the scales were clear, it looked very sturdy, and at the bow of the boat, there was also a statue.

This statue was actually a huge crocodile head, opening its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and in its ferocity, it revealed strong cruelty.

Looking from afar, this small boat was like a giant crocodile floating on the sea.

This chapter is an added update for Great Alliance Leader Yanhui~

Drank a little wine in the afternoon, I'm going to work hard on coding words.

Just discovered that the app seems to know me very well. The tag behind my speech in the chapter comments is actually "Breeze Youth"!!!

Could it be that the app can intelligently analyze and view reality? ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
