Outside of Time [Webnovel]

312 Storm Is Coming

“There is the highness of the First Peak among them. I wonder how many highnesses there are.” Xu Qing walked out of the city square and walked in the darkness. He then thought of the few people from before.

Although they tried their best to hide their auras, Xu Qing could sense sword qi from them that was similar to Wu Jianwu’s. To outsiders, it might be difficult to tell but Xu Qing had chased after Wu Jianwu for so long and had a very good understanding of his cultivation art’s aura.

Earlier, when the other party was alone, the feeling wasn’t very strong. However, after they all came together, that feeling couldn’t go wrong.

“They can still return in wartime…” Xu Qing fell into deep thought and thought of the captain’s words earlier, as well as the news of interference of the Seven Sects Alliance at the frontline before he left the sect.

He already had a guess.

“Looks like the war is really about to end.” Xu Qing’s heartbeat sped up a little. He had been waiting for the war to end as the sect would distribute the rewards after the war.

He was really feeling poor now. He had just obtained spirit stones and used them to buy the soul pills. Although he had a share in Port 176, it wasn’t time for dividends.

“I’m going to be rich soon.” Xu Qing took a deep breath and quickly walked toward the teleportation array. On the way, he transmitted his voice to the Diamond Sect’s ancestor.

“Yes, it was recorded completely. I was thinking that Master should need this evidence. When you knocked on me, I understood immediately,” the Diamond Sect’s ancestor said excitedly.

Xu Qing was satisfied. He didn’t want to do anything but he felt that the First Peak’s highnesses were being sneaky. Hence, he recorded it for future use.

After putting down these thoughts, Xu Qing continued forward.

In the dark night, other than some specific places, there were fewer pedestrians. The gazes that were hidden in the dark gathered on Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t bother with it. Even when he arrived at the teleportation array, he didn’t encounter any robbery. This made Xu Qing feel some regret.

“Those who come here aren’t fools. Most of them wouldn’t do something they aren’t confident in.” Xu Qing shook his head. When he arrived beside the teleportation array, he didn’t see the captain, so he took out a jade slip and transmitted his voice.

“Little Qing, you can go back first. I saw some fun guys here. Haha, the few highnesses of the First Peak are actually secretly selling some war resources. I’ve decided to take a photo and give it to Uncle-Master to see if I can extort something.”

Xu Qing shook his head. He felt that the captain was the same as the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. They were both too despicable, unlike him. He never personally got involved in such things, so his mind was always clear.

He entered the teleportation array and left.

The night of the Seven Blood Eyes was as usual. The bright moon was in the sky and a cold wind blew.

At first glance, the night in the main city looked very quiet but there were still many cultivators moving around. Some of the various forces in the depths of the alleys were fighting and the killings between disciples were common even in wartime.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Xu Qing. He had completely climbed out of the bottom level and relied on his killings to reach his current level step by step.

Xu Qing moved very fast. He also saw members of the Homicide Department patrolling at night, and passed by Panquan Road.

He paused slightly here.

The inn had been closed for a long time.

For some reason, Xu Qing thought of the large snake in the inn.

Very soon, Xu Qing retracted his thoughts and left Panquan Road, returning to his berth at Port 176. He put down the magic ship and walked into the cabin. He then took out the soul pills.

After checking again and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he burned a pill with fiendish fire and fused it into his body. Very soon, the soul power contained in his soul pill gathered in his body.

It charged toward the 80th magic aperture.

If one wasn’t enough, he would use four. If it still wasn’t enough, then he would use ten!

Not long later, an explosion seemed to occur in Xu Qing’s body and the magic power fluctuations were intense. His 80th magic aperture was finally opened.

Xu Qing didn’t stop and continued to refine the remaining soul pills. Two hours later, when Xu Qing refined all 43 Soul Pills, his magic apertures had opened to 83!

Right now, he was only seven magic apertures away from the third ball of life fire!

“It’s a pity that the difference between the soul pills of the First Peak and the one given by Lord Sixth is too great. After all, the level of the souls refined are different.” Xu Qing sighed with emotion and even more anticipation.

“It won’t be long before I can form the third ball of life fire. At that time…” Xu Qing’s heartbeat sped up slightly. He felt that once his third ball of life fire was formed, his combat strength would reach an extremely astonishing level.

“With the life lantern, I will have the power of four fires. Coupled with the Golden Crow Refines All Life, I will reach the level of five fires and be able to suppress all Foundation Building cultivators. The prerequisite is… that the other party doesn’t have a life lantern!”

Xu Qing took out the two wish boxes from his storage bag. After checking them, he continued to pour magic power into them, continuing to nurture them.

“They are almost ready.” Xu Qing’s mood turned better. However, he soon thought of Night Dove which he had seen on the way back and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

However, he was only the director of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department. Moreover, he had snatched the other peaks’ Homicide Departments’ prisoners to study the little black bugs, so it will be very difficult for them to cooperate with him on this matter. Hence, Xu Qing took out the voice transmission jade slip and pondered for a moment before transmitting his voice to Lord Sixth.

He reported the matter of him encountering Night Dove on the way. He then waited for Lord Sixth’s instructions.

Not long later, Lord Sixth sent an answer.

“Xu Qing, I’ll allow you the special right to lead the various peaks’ Homicide Departments to clean up Night Dove. If you encounter any powerful forces, you can look for me!”

Lord Sixth paid Xu Qing special attention. In Lord Sixth’s view, Xu Qing’s question was like a child asking his elder. Since Xu Qing wanted to do this, he naturally supported him.

“Thank you, Lord Sixth.” Xu Qing solemnly transmitted his voice. He could also hear the meaning in Lord Sixth’s words and was grateful.

In the next few days, Xu Qing sent an official document to the Homicide Departments of the other peaks, requesting them to assist the Seventh Peak in examining all the ships in the ports.

They also had to investigate all the people using the teleportation arrays.

There was already hatred between Night Dove and the Homicide Departments. Hence, regardless of whether it was in terms of reason or official document, there was no reason to refuse. In addition, Night Dove was very rich. The Homicide Departments knew this very well.

Just like that, as Xu Qing’s official document spread out, all the members of the Homicide Departments moved. They checked the entire city, especially the ports and teleportation arrays.

Night Dove members who had arrived at the Seven Blood Eyes were found out and caught by the Homicide Departments. The other Night Dove members had no choice but to conceal themselves even more deeply. As for the prisons of the Homicide Departments, they were starting to be filled again.

While this operation started, a major news spread throughout the entire sect and caused a commotion in the Forbidden Sea.

The war between the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sea Corpse Race was over!

The reason why it ended was because the Seven Sects Alliance forcefully interfered and stopped the Seven Blood Eyes from continuing to attack after they occupied half of the Sea Corpse Race’s territory.

Although there had been rumors about this before, it still made the Seven Blood Eyes angry. According to their current pace, they would have completely destroyed the Sea Corpse Race in half a year at most.

At such a moment, the Seven Sects Alliance appeared to stop them. Moreover, their attitude was domineering. Xue Lianzi was furious, but he could only obey.

After all, on the surface, the Seven Blood Eyes was still a branch of the Seven Sects Alliance. Even Xue Lianzi couldn’t refuse the main sect’s order. However, the Seven Blood Eyes didn’t give up on the benefits that should be obtained.

Xu Qing heard the rumors in the sect that Ancestor Xue Lianzi had given the Sea Corpse Race four conditions for the truce.

The first condition was that all the areas that were conquered belonged to the Seven Blood Eyes.

The second condition was that the Sea Corpse Race had to give 100 billion spirit stones as war compensation.

The third condition was that the Sea Corpse Race had to hand over eight ancestral corpse statues, excluding the Seventh Ancestral Corpse Statue without a nose.

The fourth condition was that all cultivators at the Golden Core and above realm of the Sea Corpse Race would be grounded for a hundred years, and the Sea Corpse Race also had to send their Sequences as hostages.

The Sea Corpse Race naturally didn’t agree. Hence, this truce storm continued for another half a month. During this time, the Seven Sects Alliance forcefully mediated many times. The results of each mediation would be transmitted to the sect.

It was only after the final mediation half a month later that they reached an agreement.

The Sea Corpse Race gave two sub-islands, 30% of their territories, 80 billion spirit stones, and cultivators at and above the Golden Core Realm were grounded for 60 years.

As for the ancestral corpse statues, they were the foundation of the Sea Corpse Race. They argued about this the most and in the end, agreed to give two. This was the limit.

The Seven Blood Eyes agreed to this. With this, the war between the two races that had been going on for more than a year came to an end. When the ancestor and the others returned, the Seven Blood Eyes held a grand celebration.

The sect issued a decree that this celebration would last for three months.

During these three months, allies and envoys from various races would come to congratulate them one after another. One could imagine that their arrival would definitely allow the economy of the Seven Blood Eyes’ ports to quickly recover to the previous state or even advance.

As such, the entire Seven Blood Eyes’ main city was extremely lively.

However, Xu Qing didn’t participate in this commotion. Every day, other than cultivating, nourishing the wish boxes and studying the little black bug, most of his energy was spent on making arrangements for the Homicide Department to search for Night Dove.

Xu Qing hated Night Dove. Since he knew that they were coming to the Seven Blood Eyes, he was prepared to heavily damage this organization. Moreover, they had many people which he could use to rear the little black bugs and then refine their souls.

Hence, while Xu Qing cultivated, he also screened for Night Dove. A few days later, the first batch of envoys from the nonhuman races arrived.

Among this group of outsiders, there was an azure-robed old woman. Her appearance caused the weather to change and her aura soared into the sky. The Seven Blood Eyes was shaken and prepared an extravagant welcoming ceremony. Ancestor Xue Lianzi personally came out to welcome her.

“Welcome, Fellow Daoist Dongyou, to my Seven Blood Eyes!”

This old woman was the Island Lord of Dongyou Island, Esteemed Master Dongyou. She was also the grandmother of the black-clothed girl.
