322 Condescending (2)
What he was jealous of was these opportunities.
However, he hid it very well. He moved his right hand that seemed to be made of purple gold and shone with resplendent light, and calmly spoke.
“Xu Qing, do you see this? This is the Mystic Nether Ancient Art I cultivate. It’s called the Mystic Nether Finger.”
“Every one of my five fingers is nurtured with countless mystic arts and a large number of treasures. As long as someone is touched by my finger, their soul will be touched by me and be in my control, granting me the power over their life and death.”
“This is the true appearance of the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art.”
“If you offer your loyalty to me and follow me back to the sect, I will help you implore the ancestor to bestow you with resources to cultivate one finger. In the future, if you make contributions, you might have a chance to cultivate two fingers and more.”
“With this method, combined with your Golden Crow Refines All Life, you can unleash your true strength!”
Xu Qing cast a deep glance at the other party’s five fingers and also noticed the apple on his back. It had been a long time since there was an additional gap. Clearly, the invisible person’s attention was all on these five fingers.
Hence, he took a deep look at Huang Yikun.
Xu Qing felt that although this person’s cultivation art was indeed impressive, it wasn’t peerless. Golden Crow Refines All Life didn’t need other techniques.
The reason why this person had such an understanding realization was because the Seven Sects Alliance’s Alliance Leader had only comprehended the superficial knowledge of Golden Crow Refines All Life. That was why it was used along with other techniques.
He recalled what he understood about Golden Crow Refines All Life. The main point of this technique was domineering. If it still needed to coordinate with other cultivation arts, it would lose its soul.
Seeing that Xu Qing didn’t say a word from the start, Huang Yikun sneered inwardly.
“You might still be unconvinced and think that I’m not worthy of your loyalty, so you don’t have to give me an answer immediately. I’ll challenge the three highnesses of your Seventh Peak in a few days.”
With that, Huang Yikun stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. When he passed by Xu Qing, he calmly spoke.
“Xu Qing, remember to pay attention to the Seventh Peak’s challenge in a few days. Look at the results. The next time we meet will be when the three highnesses of the Seventh Peak are defeated. That is how long you have to give me your reply.”
“This is your opportunity. Think properly.”
With that, Huang Yikun walked out of the Homicide Department without looking back. He moved under the setting sun and walked further and further away.
“Haha, Little Qing, your place is still the most fun. I saw this fellow traveling arrogantly, so I followed him to watch the show. I didn’t expect to discover a treasure !” The captain’s surprised voice rang out from beside Xu Qing.
“This is the first time I’ve encountered someone who took the initiative to show off in front of me… Happiness came too suddenly and I’m not used to it. Just now, I spent a lot of effort trying to resist breaking his fingers.”
“You probably held back from taking a bite, right?” Xu Qing calmly spoke.
“Director Xu, how can you speak to your eldest highness like this?” The apple floating in front of Xu Qing was fiercely bitten.
Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced at the captain’s shadow.
The shadow revealed a limping figure. Its head seemed to be swollen, as though it had been beaten up.
Xu Qing fell silent and spoke after a long time.
“Captain, what did you do this time?”
The apple paused.
“What are you saying? I just like my invisible state after last time. Let’s not talk about it anymore. That Huang Yikun is going to challenge the Seventh Peak. I’ll go and chat with the second and third.”
As his voice echoed, the apple quickly left. Before it left, it suddenly paused.
“By the way, Little Qing, I came here to tell you that this time around, the Seven Sects Alliance challenged the Seven Blood Eyes and all the peaks were beaten up. It looks bad but this is also the plan of the old fellows.”
“Those old fellows clearly want disciples to be hostile to the Seven Sects Alliance. At the same time, they also want to filter out the disciples who are at odds with the sect. So, don’t have any other thoughts. Otherwise, if I have any big plans in the future, I’ll have to go to other sects to look for you. It’s too troublesome.”
With that, the apple left the Homicide Department. After he walked far away, the invisible captain’s bruised and swollen eyes revealed surprise.
“He can see me? That’s impossible. My invisibility is a treasure given by the old man. For so many years, other than a few uncle-masters and the ancestor, no one in the entire Seven Blood Eyes could see me. How is this possible…” As he muttered, the captain grimaced in pain.
“Sixth Martial Uncle, that old man, was too ruthless. Didn’t I just take a bite of his treasure? Is there a need to go so far… As soon as I returned, he captured me and beat me up.” The captain was furious. He ruthlessly took a bite of the apple and quickly left.
In the Homicide Department, Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
The captain’s words were similar to his previous judgment. Xu Qing increasingly felt that the sect was waiting for something.
“Time?”
Xu Qing didn’t continue to think about it. He felt that this wasn’t something he should ponder over. Hence, he returned to the prison and continued cultivating.
Just like that, days passed. Night Dove’s capture operation continued to be carried out. As Night Dove became more and more hidden, the Homicide Department prepared to start pulling in the net.
Before retrieving the net, the Homicide Department had to make arrangements to prevent any fish from escaping. They would order a curfew!
“The Seven Blood Eyes’ main city will have a curfew for a month. Capture all those who move about strangely at night!”
“The various peaks’ Homicide Departments should start to reel in the net. Destroy all the Night Dove strongholds that we have information on to avenge our deceased colleagues!”
“Kill all the Night Dove members. All the gains you make will belong to you. Departments will issue the orders, use the division buildings as your camp, and move in teams. Operation Dove Extermination, begin!”
Following Xu Qing’s order, the seven Homicide Departments of the Seven Blood Eyes immediately moved out fiercely and started a bloody massacre. That night, the entire main city was filled with killing intent.
Countless members of the Homicide Department could be seen on the streets. Teams of them followed the requirements of the various departments and headed to the designated places to start killing and capturing.
Mournful cries and malevolent shouts rang out from various strongholds. On the streets, one could see Night Dove’s fleeing figures being chased by the Homicide Department.
Occasionally, signal flares would be launched by the Homicide Department disciples when they were in danger.
After the signal flare was launched, the deputy directors would head over to rescue them. If they couldn’t handle it, the director would head over.
If the director still couldn’t handle it, they would report it to Xu Qing and Xu Qing would handle it personally.
During this night, Xu Qing didn’t have a chance to make a move because Yanyan had taken the initiative to participate.
Behind her was the large octopus that ran amok. Every time she saw the Homicide Department’s distress signal, she would be the first to rush over on the large octopus. Every time she took action to resolve it, she would say something.
“There’s no need to trouble Brother Xu Qing for such a small matter. I will handle it. Remember to tell him later that I’m here.”
One time, she helped a new deputy director of the Seventh Peak. This person had one life fire cultivation base and was very grateful after being saved. He cupped his fists and spoke.
“Thank you, Lord Yanyan.”
Yanyan raised her brows and replied.
“I’m your director’s fiancée. You need to call me sister-in-law!”
Yan Yan’s words stunned the new deputy director of the Seventh Peak. After some hesitation, he cupped his fists and spoke again.
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!”
Yanyan beamed with joy and threw over a precious pill.
“Rest well and recuperate. My husband is the director of our Homicide Department. As his wife, I naturally have to help him take care of his subordinates. It’s a small matter.” As she spoke, Yanyan saw another distress signal and ran over in a hurry.
