OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 369 - 369 Everyone Is Sinister



369 Everyone Is Sinister

“Third Brother will be in charge of publicizing this matter. I’ll be in charge of receiving. Xu Qing, you can just be on the stage. You can get four, and we’ll get three each,” the captain quickly said.

“That’s right. I’ll go and publicize it. I’ll say that Xu Qing is going to challenge the Alliance’s heaven’s chosens.” Third Senior Brother smiled and spoke softly.

“Yes. Just say that he isn’t challenging all of them this time but choosing a few people to fight a life-and-death battle!” The captain took out an apple and took a bite.

“The exact name list hasn’t been decided yet. I’m considering who to challenge.” Xu Qing thought about it and spoke. The three of them looked at each other.

The captain had a spurious smile, Third Senior Brother had a gentle expression, and Xu Qing’s expression was calm.

“It’s settled then. Those people from the Alliance aren’t fools. Anyone with a brain would think of sending some gifts.” The captain said while looking around furtively.

“The two of you, stay here. I’ll go take a look at the other pools. There are too few female disciples here.” As he spoke, the captain stood up and left. Third Senior Brother also stretched his back and moved closer to the disciples of the other sects in the pool. His expression was gentle and he looked harmless.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and silently cultivated.

However, very soon, Xu Qing opened his eyes. He saw a female disciple from the Alliance approaching him. Her face was slightly red as she carefully sat down.

As for Third Senior Brother, Xu Qing swept his gaze over and discovered that he was chatting and laughing with a group of Alliance disciples. They looked very harmonious.

Xu Qing remained silent. He knew that it was because the spiritual energy in the pool was very dense and had scattered some of his concealment.

His concealment wasn’t completely gone, unless it was someone familiar, it would be very difficult to recognize him at a glance. However, even though only a portion of his appearance was revealed, his face still exuded a demonic beauty.

After some thought, Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to meditate. However, not long later, he opened his eyes again.

Around him, three more female disciples arrived. All of them sat around him and whispered to each other, as though they were discussing his appearance. There was even a bold female disciple who noticed that Xu Qing had opened his eyes and chuckled.

“Junior Brother, which sect are you from? You look a little unfamiliar.”

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and closed his eyes.

Time flowed by. Two hours later, the captain returned from afar while humming a tune and eating an apple. He felt that the other pools were boring and there were fewer and fewer female disciples. Hence, he returned to look for Xu Qing and Old Third.

However, when he got close to the pool and saw the place clearly, his eyes suddenly widened. He stopped humming and even forgot to eat the apple. He stared blankly at the pool that was still a little empty when he left earlier.

At that moment, there were many cultivators here, and most of them were female disciples.

Old Third was at one side of the pool with women on his left and right. He was chatting softly with four female disciples, occasionally causing those female disciples to laugh.

Xu Qing’s figure had already disappeared from the corner. The spot where he was previously was filled with female cultivators.

This scene caused the captain to sigh. He knew why there were fewer female disciples in the other pools. He was unconvinced and quickened his pace, wanting to enter the pool as well.

However, there were too many people here. Just as the captain was about to enter the pool, a round-faced female disciple with freckles on her face glanced at him unhappily.

“There’s no space here. As a man, don’t come here anymore. Can’t you go to another pool?”

Seeing that Eldest Senior Brother was being criticized, Old Third smiled and patted the head of the female disciple beside him. He stood up and left the pool, pulling the depressed captain away.

“What’s going on here? Where’s Old Fourth?” The captain turned his head and looked at the pool.

“Old Fourth has left long ago. As for the situation here, Eldest Senior Brother, can’t you guess?”

“Homme fatale.” The captain sighed again.

At that moment, Xu Qing had already returned to his residence and was sitting cross-legged and meditating. The spiritual energy in his body was dense. It had to be said that the Immortal Enrichment River was indeed mystical. Xu Qing felt that if someone cultivated here for a long time, no matter how many anomalous substances there were on their body, they would slowly be cleansed.

Although it was impossible to clear them away completely and they would slowly grow, through continuous cultivation in such a place, the anomalous substances in their body would be almost negligible.

“No wonder the Alliance activated the Taboo and destroyed the Minor Affairs Sect’s dam to attract the branch of the Immortal Enrichment River.” Xu Qing lifted his head and looked to the east.

That direction was the territory of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. It was also the place where the Immortal Enrichment River flowed in and out of. 30% of the river passed through the territory of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

One could imagine that with their territory in the upper reaches of the river, the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect received the greatest benefits.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

The night passed.

When the morning arrived, the discussion group formed by the Seven Blood Eyes began to officially come into contact with the Seven Sects Alliance to discuss the details of the sect’s ground location and integration.

This concerned the integration of an upper sect, so it was destined that this discussion would not end quickly. The various aspects involved were extremely complicated, such as the array formations, the continuation of businesses, changes in laws and regulations, and so on.

As an attendee, Xu Qing felt bored after participating in half of it. He decided to return to his residence and continue cultivating. He had completely fused the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern into his body. After completely mastering it, Xu Qing discovered an interesting change.

That was… when one possessed two life lanterns, they would enhance each other!

This piqued Xu Qing’s interest. Hence, he carefully explored and tested it.

There were many highnesses of the various peaks who chose not to attend like him. Most of them found an excuse to slip away after showing their faces and began their respective challenge journeys.

Very soon, there was a commotion among the disciples of the various sects in the alliance.

The challenges of the various highnesses of the Seven Blood Eyes were extremely arrogant and imposing, especially the First Peak. The second highness led the team and headed straight for the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.

It was the same for the other peaks. While the higher-ups were discussing the details, the disciples were fully armed and ready, causing all kinds of discussions to rise and fall in the alliance city. The impact was getting greater and greater.

Three days later, when the details of the migration matters were still being discussed by the representatives of both sides, the challenges of the Seven Blood Eyes’ peaks against the seven sects had also reached its climax. Although there were victories and defeats, the Seven Blood Eyes were significantly more imposing.

Especially when a piece of news spread, the entire alliance’s disciples were in an uproar.

This news was related to Xu Qing. It was about him choosing targets to challenge.

As soon as this news spread, all the heaven’s chosens of the various peaks of the Alliance felt danger. They were well aware of Xu Qing’s existence. He was someone like Saintly Star with the combat strength of six fires who could fight against a Golden Core cultivator with a heavenly palace.

No one was willing to fight against such a terrifying peerless cultivator, especially since the news also said that it was going to be a life-and-death battle. This made their hearts palpitate even more.

As for avoiding the challenge, it concerned their reputation. Hence, smart people like Zhou Qifan secretly contacted the captain and gave him gifts to express their goodwill.

This matter was quickly fanned and spread out. Hence, very soon, the heaven’s chosens of the various peaks, who were worried about being challenged, arranged for their followers to secretly interact and express their goodwill.

This matter naturally spread to the ears of the higher-ups of the Alliance. On this day, after discussing all the details with the Seven Blood Eyes and reaching a consensus, a representative of the Alliance expressed his dissatisfaction with the Seven Blood Eyes’ representative, Old Master Seventh.

“It’s fine if the disciples of the other peaks of your Seven Blood Eyes challenge the seven sects, we can just treat it as a spar.”

“But that Xu Qing still wants to challenge someone with his combat strength of Six Fires? Isn’t this bullying? Previously, we weren’t in an alliance but now, we’re a family!”

“Isn’t there no challenge yet?” Old Master Seventh smiled.

“That is the most outrageous thing. Old Seventh, those few disciples of yours are actually fishing! In fact, your eldest disciple even spread the news that whoever gives less will have their names written on the list of life-and-death battles.”

“This is too much. Their manners are too ugly. Who did they learn this from?!”

Old Master Seventh coughed dryly.

“It’s indeed a little unsightly. However, they’re all children and are just fooling around. Why are you guys taking it seriously? Oh right, I still have a question about the authority of the array formation after my sect arrives. Come, come, come, let’s discuss it in detail.”

When the representative of the Alliance heard this, they were speechless. What kind of people were these? They couldn’t help but feel a little worried about the future situation of the Eight Sects Alliance.

They really felt that the Seven Blood Eyes was too bandit-like.

“A few years ago, it wasn’t like this…” The alliance representative sighed and wanted to ignore it. However, Old Master Seventh smiled and pulled him along, discussing seriously.

Just like that, another two days passed. The detailed discussion between the Seven Blood Eyes and the alliance was finally completed. The alliance was also officially announced to the entire Yinghuang Province, causing the various forces in the Yinghuang Province that were paying attention to this matter to begin to reevaluate the Eight Sect Alliance.

At the same time, the Nanhuang Continent’s Seven Blood Eyes received an order from the ancestor. They began to start the migration on schedule. According to the plan, they had to complete the migration in a month.

In addition, the Alliance would construct a teleportation array so that the Seven Blood Eyes’ arrival could be smoother.

The battles between the highnesses of the other peaks and the seven sects continued. However, not many people were paying attention to them now. Everyone was paying attention to Xu Qing, wanting to see who he would challenge in the end.

After all, there were still many disciples who had expressed their goodwill. Just as everyone was paying attention to the follow-up of this matter, Old Master Seventh sternly berated his three disciples in front of many people.

His words were that as a member of the alliance, they couldn’t make life-and-death challenges so rashly. He even mentioned that Xu Qing shouldn’t bully the members of the alliance.

Xu Qing and the other two looked like they were filled with shame. They felt as though they had been woken up by their master’s scolding. They expressed that they realized that this matter was inappropriate and canceled the challenges…

This caused this matter to come to a perfect end.

This scene caused those Seven Sects’ disciples who had expressed goodwill, such as Huang Yikun and Zhou Qifan, to smile bitterly. They could naturally tell that this was a scene directed by these masters and disciples of the Seventh Peak.

“How sinister!”

“A dignified Spirit Repository actually cooperated with a few disciples to do this…”

“But what can we say? Their every word is filled with logic.”

Just when most of the Alliance’s disciples felt that they had been tricked, a rumbling sound rang out from the Bizarre Hunting Sect. Sima Ru walked out of her seclusion. She hadn’t succeeded in breaking through and the second heavenly palace hadn’t been formed yet.

However, looking at her younger brother’s miserable state and thinking of the destruction of her avatar, she came out of seclusion early.

The first thing she did after coming out of seclusion was to send a challenge to the Seven Blood Eyes.

Challenge Xu Qing!

In an instant, this matter caused a commotion in all directions. One had to know that Sima Ru was a Golden Core cultivator. Her challenge seemed to be bullying the weak, but no one felt that this was the case. Instead, they felt that this was a battle of even strength.

After Xu Qing replaced Saintly Star, he had already become the number one heaven’s chosen of the Eight Sect Alliance and had the power to suppress Heavenly Palace.

As the most eye-catching disciple of the Seven Blood Eyes, Xu Qing couldn’t refuse this challenge. Old Master Seventh also sent a message to him.

“Hiding needs to be done appropriately. Fight with all your might and establish our sect’s might. Also, that girl, Sima Ru, has two hearts. The right heart will be of great use to you in the future!”

After some thought, killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He thought of the gains he had gained from studying the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern during this period of time and replied to Sima Ru.

“Only a life-and-death battle. If you agree, then come.”
