795 Last Nights Evening Breeze, Tonights Starry River (4)
Whether driven by self-interest or changing sides, those who chose to support Illuminate against the human race had to be prepared for the possibility of annihilation in the aftermath of their failure.
An eye for an eye was the law of survival in this cruel world.
This extermination didnt last long. After all, it was only a branch.
Under the suppression of absolute power, there was no possibility of resistance.
Four hours later, the smoke dissipated and ceased to exist.
Qingqin felt a little unsatisfied and let out a cry at Xu Qing, as though it was asking if there was anything else to eat...
Xu Qing thought about it and nodded.
Qingqin was instantly excited. As it circled happily in the sky, the group continued on their way.
On the way to the teleportation point, Xu Qing took out a bamboo slip from his storage bag and crossed out the Smoke Race name carved on it with an iron stick.
At the side, Old Master Seventh glanced at the bamboo slip and saw Crown Prince Purple Green written at the top. He also saw that among the many names that had been crossed out toward the rear, there was one that hadnt been crossed out. It was very conspicuous.
It was the word captain and there were many question marks beside it.
Old Master Seventh was caught between laughter and tears as he pointed.
Whats this?
Xu Qings gaze landed on the captains name. He was about to cross it out when he paused for a moment.
The ones who are crossed out are basically all dead. Its inauspicious. Xu Qing explained to his master. After he kept the bamboo slip, he looked at the iron stick in his hand.
The iron stick trembled slightly with a sign of respect.
Master, that fish bone? Xu Qing felt that the Diamond Sects ancestor and shadow couldnt keep up with his combat strength at all. Hence, he had the thought of changing his weapon.
This thought was sensed by the Diamond Sects ancestor and the vibration of the iron stick intensified.
The shadow also began to distort, emitting emotions of fear and begging for mercy.
Xu Qing didnt bother with it but Linger sensed it. She stuck her head out and looked at the shadow curiously.
The shadow trembled and changed its strategy, trying to curry favor with Linger.
Hearing Xu Qings words, Old Master Seventh smiled slightly. He had long sensed the messy things on his disciples body. However, after finding out that Xu Qing even had a gods finger in his body, he was no longer surprised.
Ive divided that fish bone into three parts and am refining them. Calculating the time, they should be ready in half a month.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaozhuos three fish bones are gone.
Old Master Seventh felt regretful. He had also asked about Xu Qings teleportation during the battle at the platform. Xu Qing had told him everything.
The shadow continued to curry favor with Linger and even split into various shapes, causing Linger to laugh happily. The great wing leaped across the desert and teleported from the nearest teleportation point, approaching the Yinghuang Province.
Two days later.
The white snow plains in the Yinghuang Province were reflected in Xu Qings eyes.
The wind here was even colder than in the county capital. There were also more snowflakes falling from the sky and sweeping up from the ground in an endless stream, blocking ones vision and blurring the surroundings.
However, amidst the snowstorm, thousands of figures waiting here become even more distinct, their presence becoming clearer.
The person in the lead was the Great Elder of the Yinghuang Provinces Sword Holding Court.
The moment the great wing got close, the Great Elders expression was solemn. He cupped his fists and bowed.
Welcome, Deputy Governor.
The thousands of people behind him also bowed.
This was etiquette, and was necessary.
Old Master Sevenths identity was no longer the sect master of the Seven Blood Eyes. He was a deputy governor now.
In the crowd, other than the Sword Holders, there were also some sect cultivators.
These sect cultivators were divided into two groups. One group wore black Daoist robes with blood patterns on them. They were from the Litu Sect.
The other group wore golden robes that exuded a sense of luxury and seemed to carry a hint of immortality. They were from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.
Regardless of whether they wore the blood-stained black robes or the transcendent golden ones, their expressions were filled with profound respect.
Old Master Sevenths expression showed no emotions. It was as though with his age, he was already indifferent to all of this. The emotions and desires of returning to their hometown in glory for mortals wouldnt cause any waves to him.
Xu Qing, who was at the side, noticed his masters expression and felt admiration in his heart. He felt that he was inferior to his master in this aspect because there were still waves in his heart.
Master, Junior Brother...
From afar, a sigh rang out from the crowd of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. A figure wearing a Seven Blood Eyes Daoist robe and a tall hat with the character on it walked out of the crowd quickly.
Xu Qing immediately recognized that it was his third senior brother.
However, the other partys appearance made him gasp.
He was too skinny and his spirit was dispirited, as though his body had been hollowed out.
Moreover, there were seven to eight young women following behind Third Senior Brother, and every one of them was carrying a baby in their arms.
Xu Qings eyes widened. Old Master Seventh was expressionless as he calmly spoke.
Ridiculous!
This voice was filled with coldness. Xu Qing immediately realized that his master was really angry.
