Outside Of Time

282 The Homicide Department’s Responsibility!

“Why do I feel that you’ve become greedier than me recently!” The captain said angrily. However, he also attacked violently, causing the cut to enlarge faster.

Amidst the monstrous anger in the Golden Core octopus’ heart, Xu Qing successfully cut off a small portion of the end of one of its tentacles. It was about ten feet long and he carried it on his shoulder as he quickly fled this place with the captain.

A long time later, the pressure on the Golden Core octopus dissipated. It roared and wanted to get up. However, at the next instant, its entire body trembled and it lay on the ground again.

This was because a middle-aged man had walked over at some point in time. This middle-aged man had a bitter expression and was drinking from a wine gourd in his hand while walking.

It was the Peak Lord of the Sixth Peak.

Originally, this Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord was a heaven’s chosen like Old Master Seventh. He entered the sect at the same time but some tragic things happened to him later.

His Dao companion died tragically and only he and his son survived. He gave all his love to his only son while carrying endless grief and indignation. His son indeed didn’t let him down.

Many years ago, his son had risen to be an outstanding person in the Seven Blood Eyes.

However, during an expedition to the sea, his son went missing and the life slip he left in the sect shattered. This matter caused a huge commotion back then but in the end, they still couldn’t find the murderer and it became a knot in the heart of the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord that he was still unable to let go.

From then on, the wine gourd never left his hand.

The Peak Lord of the Sixth Peak, who was drinking wine and feeling bitter to the bone, walked in front of the octopus.

“I’ve been refining a magic artifact recently. Your eyes are very suitable. Give them to me.”

The octopus trembled even more but it didn’t dare to hesitate. It quickly lifted its tentacles and pressed them on its eyes, digging hard. Blood spurted out as it dug out its eyeballs and respectfully handed them to the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord.

“You can scram now. Wait for your master outside.” The Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord took the eyeballs and threw them into the wine gourd. He then walked toward the Sixth Peak.

The octopus respectfully lowered its head. It only lifted its trembling head after the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord disappeared. It quickly returned to the sea and dived extremely deep. After leaving the Seven Blood Eyes, its figure shone and transformed into a burly man.

Although he was blind in both eyes, as the flesh and blood between his brows squirmed, another one grew out. At that moment, he looked at the Seven Blood Eyes with a wary expression.

“With the breakthrough of the Seven Blood Eyes’ ancestor, this Seven Blood Eyes is more confident than before. It looks like an external sect established by the Seven Sects Alliance, but in reality, over the years, the Seven Blood Eyes… has almost become independent.”

“The lower levels are put in a cruel Gu-nurturing environment, while the middle levels are allowed to grow freely. However, once one enters the Sequence and steps into the higher positions, the Seven Blood Eyes will definitely cover their shortcomings and raise them properly!”

“Even though the Seven Sects Alliance discovered it many years ago and wanted to rotate the candidates for the ancestor and the seven peak lords, the effect was very little. The ancestor, Xue Lianzi, was always around. Even though the seven peak lords occasionally took turns to return to the Seven Sects Alliance, most of them were focused on the Seven Blood Eyes.”

“This is a sect that is rising!” The fear in the burly man’s eyes deepened.

While all kinds of thoughts appeared in the heart of the burly Golden Core cultivator, Xu Qing separated from the captain and returned to his berth. He then took out his bamboo slip and carved the word ‘Yanyan’ on it!

However, he drew a circle. This meant that this person couldn’t be killed in front of others. He had to wait for the other party to leave the Seven Blood Eyes before finding an opportunity to secretly kill her. Only then could he avoid trouble.

“Here it comes again!” The Diamond Sect’s ancestor in the black iron stick was extremely excited at this moment. He looked at the name on the bamboo slip and paid special attention to his own name.

After Xu Qing finished carving and was about to put it away, he glanced at the black iron stick that was shaking slightly at the side. He recalled that the other party had been very hardworking, so he cut the words ‘Diamond Sect’s ancestor’.

This cut landed not only on the bamboo slip, but also in the heart of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, transforming into unprecedented excitement and gratitude. The black iron stick’s shook more intensely.

He felt that all his previous efforts were worth it at this moment!

“Thank you… Master!!” The Diamond Sect’s ancestor’s figure appeared and bowed to Xu Qing. He had suffered a lot during this period, especially since the shadow had made many contributions, causing the pressure in his heart to be extremely great.

There were a few times when he almost suffered from inner demons while cultivating. He could not shake off the feeling that he would be abandoned at any moment. At this moment, more than half of his worries dissipated with Xu Qing’s slash.

The agitated Diamond Sect’s ancestor didn’t notice the shadow behind Xu Qing. It had opened an eye and was trying its best to observe and learn.

Xu Qing encouraged the Diamond Sect’s ancestor. After putting away the bamboo slip, he walked out of the cabin and sat there looking into the distance.

He was waiting for someone.

Not long later, at midnight, a rotund figure staggered into Xu Qing’s vision. As he got closer, he could see that it was none other than Huang Yan.

He had clearly drunk a lot of alcohol and his walking was crooked and listless. This time, he didn’t sit on the ground but leaped onto Xu Qing’s magic ship for the first time.

After landing, he sat at the side and let out a long sigh.

“Brother Xu Qing, take it that I owe you for what happened today. I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect Senior Sister’s best friend to be such a trash!”

As he spoke, Huang Yan took out a storage bag and solemnly handed it to Xu Qing.

“Brother Xu Qing, I don’t have many things on me at the moment. There are 200,000 spirit stones here. Take it as my goodwill.”

Xu Qing didn’t take it immediately. Instead, he looked at Huang Yan.

“How do you plan to handle this?”

Huang Yan sighed.

“Why is love so torturous?”

“It’s too difficult for me. Xu Qing, do you know that I came to the Seven Blood Eyes for Senior Sister? Back then… I glanced at her from afar. From then on, my heart was filled with her figure. In the end, I decided to come to the Seven Blood Eyes. I wanted to make her my Dao companion.”

Huang Yan’s mood today was a little different from usual. He took out a wine flask and took a big gulp before throwing it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing caught it and took a sip as well.

“I never expected that her best friend would be my rival!!”

“Do you know that after that b*tch arrived today, she kept pestering Senior Sister and Senior Sister didn’t have the time to care about me. When I went to look for Senior Sister today, Senior Sister sent me away with a guilty expression!!”

“I immediately felt that something was wrong. When I went to drink, I asked around and found out that that little girl actually wanted to snatch Senior Sister from me!”

Huang Yan gritted his teeth.

“Why did it have to be at this time? If it was a few months ago, I would have blown her to death.”

Huang Yan’s emotions fluctuated intensely.

A look of confusion appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He didn’t understand these things very well and had never experienced such distress. Hence, he didn’t understand or know how to comfort him. He could only lift the flask.

Huang Yan glanced at Xu Qing and sighed again. He then took out another wine flask and clinked it with Xu Qing’s and took a big gulp.

“You’re still too young…” Just as he said this, the voice transmission jade slip in Huang Yan’s storage bag vibrated rapidly. He frowned and took it out. After taking a look, his expression instantly became displeased.

At the same time, Xu Qing’s voice transmission jade slip also vibrated. Xu Qing calmly took it out. As magic power surged in, messages quickly appeared one after another.

“Fifteen minutes ago, the Black Division of the Homicide Department received a request for help from the Patrol Department. An external Foundation Building expert wrecked the Pilotage Department. Many disciples were injured and the Patrol Department went over. Their director was heavily injured and the rest were suppressed.”

“The Black Division responded and went over, but they couldn’t stop the expert and were also suppressed.”

“The other party requests for Huang Yan from Port 176’s Pilotage Department to meet her immediately.”

“This matter is beyond our ability. Deputy Director, please make a decision.”

Xu Qing looked at Huang Yan beside him. Huang Yan also lifted his head with an ugly expression. After meeting Xu Qing’s gaze, he revealed an apologetic expression. After that, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the magic ship in a flash, heading straight for the Pilotage Department.

Xu Qing looked at Huang Yan’s back and thought of the scenes in the Sixth Peak’s shop back then. He then looked at the storage bag Huang Yan had secretly placed at the side before he left because he didn’t accept it earlier.

“Huang Yan is a loyal person.” Xu Qing silently stood up and walked toward the Pilotage Department.

His speed was faster than Huang Yan’s, so it wasn’t long before he saw Huang Yan running in the distance. Xu Qing’s arrival also made Huang Yan fall silent before he smiled at him.

“Why are you here?”

“The Pilotage Department reported a case, so I naturally have to go.” Xu Qing also smiled.

“Xu Qing, you’re a special person. In all the years I’ve been in the Seven Blood Eyes, I don’t have a single friend. I only have Senior Sister in my eyes but in the past year, I got a friend like you.”

“I have very few friends…” Huang Yan took a deep breath and didn’t continue speaking. He ran with all his might and got closer and closer to the Pilotage Department under Xu Qing’s company.

The building of the Pilotage Department in Port 176 was shaped like a sailboat. The instant they got close, an astonishing energy fluctuation spread from the sailboat.

The sailboat building directly collapsed from the middle and shattered into pieces. A black figure rushed out with an astonishing speed, heading straight for Huang Yan.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He immediately lit his life fires and activated the Mystic Brilliance Form, and stood in front of Huang Yan. He waved his right hand fiercely; immediately, black flames spread out in a large area and collided with the approaching black figure.

A loud sound spread in all directions. The black figure distorted and appeared on the gravel at the side. It was none other than the black-clothed girl, Yanyan, who had fought with Xu Qing earlier.

“Why is it you again!” The black-clothed girl stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept past Yanyan and looked at the destroyed Pilotage Department. He saw at least a hundred disciples from the three departments lying there in a mess.

All of them were heavily injured but there were no deaths. Xu Qing even saw the little mute among them.

Xu Qing’s expression turned gloomy. He then surveyed his surroundings.

“There’s no need to look. With my status, even if I killed any of these piedmont disciples, do you think your sect will stop me? From the moment I arrived here until now, no one has stopped me.”

The black-clothed girl looked at Xu Qing’s face and licked her lips.

“However, I didn’t expect you to actually be in the Seven Blood Eyes’ Sequence. If that’s the case, it’ll be a little difficult.”

“You’re wrong.” Xu Qing calmly spoke.

“The reason why the sect didn’t attack you is because this matter falls under the responsibility of the Homicide Department. Before I report it, this place is still under the responsibility of the Homicide Department.”

With that, Xu Qing lifted his right hand and crushed a signal jade slip that belonged to the Homicide Department. At the next instant, a bright beam of light rose into the air from the shattered jade slip. In the dark night, it emitted a rainbow light that formed the shape of ‘凶’!

At the same time, Xu Qing’s voice spread in all directions.

“Rule Seven of the Homicide Department: If foreign cultivators cause chaos in the main city, the Homicide Department can capture them. All members of the Black Division, listen up. Seal Port 176 and arrest this criminal!”
