361 If You Don’t Leave, I Won’t Abandon You

Killing intent overflowed into the sky outside the Seven Blood Eyes.

In the Seven Blood Eyes’ Seventh Peak, the solemnity was still there. The expressions of the various peak lords in the sky were calm.

Xu Qing heard the furious roar from outside the array formation. He didn’t turn his head but continued to lower his head and raise the teacup in his hand high.

Old Master Seventh, who was sitting upright, also didn’t look at the outside world. It was as though he didn’t care about everything outside. The only thing he cared about was this disciple who was halfway through the apprenticeship ceremony.

He waved his hand; immediately, the teacup Xu Qing was holding high flew out and headed toward him. When it reached his hand, he didn’t drink it but placed it on the table at the side.

This tea was called thought tea and wasn’t for drinking.

Although the second highness and third highness had solemn expressions, the third highness secretly winked at Xu Qing and greeted him. There seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

“Past tea!”

The captain spoke as he handed Xu Qing a second cup of tea. Xu Qing took another three steps forward and raised the teacup high. A shocking boom rang out from outside the Seven Blood Eyes array formation.

The cultivators of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect didn’t stop at all after approaching the Seven Blood Eyes. One after another, sword qi erupted even more intensely, transforming into a dazzling light that blasted toward the Seven Blood Eyes.

The Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation defense was activated, blocking the countless sword qi. In an instant, the world shook as rumbling sounds reverberated in the seven mountains.

The Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation was clearly different from before. At this moment, it seemed to have completely expelled the authority of the Seven Sects Alliance and listed the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect as an enemy.

The peak lords of the Seven Blood Eyes still didn’t care. Their expressions caused the disciples of the various peaks to calm down and continue to watch the ceremony in the Seventh Peak.

In the Seventh Peak’s purple hall, Old Master Seventh ignored the outside world and waved his hand to take the second cup of tea.

This second cup of tea was called past tea. One sip indicated that the master had agreed to take the person in as a disciple. Old Master Seventh picked it up and took a sip before placing it on the table.

“Faith tea!” The captain spoke as he passed Xu Qing the third cup of tea.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and took three more steps. This time, he directly arrived in front of Old Master Seventh. He knelt down and raised the teacup high.

At that moment, the rumbling sounds from the outside world became even more intense. This lasted until a loud bang that was like heavenly lightning erupted.

It was a blood-colored sword qi that was a thousand feet long. When the sword landed on the Seven Blood Eyes’ protective array formation, the array formation was unable to withstand it and directly collapsed. As it shattered into pieces, the thousand-foot-long sword qi transformed into a golden-robed old man.

The old man took a step forward and appeared in the air above the Seven Blood Eyes. Sword lights whistled and arrived behind him, transforming into disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.

Every one of them was filled with killing intent.

All of them were filled with fierce momentum.

“Xue Lianzi, you…” The person who slashed open the array formation was none other than the Soaring Cloud Ancestor. After he arrived, he was just about to speak when he swept his divine sense over and noticed the scene on the top of the Seventh Peak. He saw Xu Qing kneeling there and raising a teacup high. He also saw Old Master Seventh who accepted Xu Qing’s teacup.

He had lived for so many years and as an ancestor of a sect, how could he not know the meaning of this scene?

“He is actually going through a master acknowledging ceremony?” The killing intent in the Soaring Cloud Ancestor’s eyes was intense and his entire body emitted endless coldness. His gaze looked at everything as though he was looking at the dead.

“The bastard who injured my grandson and snatched my sect’s life lantern is actually acknowledging a master. Xue Lianzi, I am very curious. Where did you get the guts to do this?!”

“Soaring Cloud, let’s talk after my son-in-law is done taking in the disciple.” Xue Lianzi said calmly with a spurious smile. The expressions of the six peak lords in the clouds were calm without any panic.

This scene caused Soaring Cloud’s eyes to narrow slightly and his heart to sink. The feeling the Seven Blood Eyes gave him today was very different from what he remembered!

In the Seventh Peak’s purple hall, even though the pressure from the outside world was earth-shattering, Old Master Seventh still didn’t take a look. After accepting Xu Qing’s teacup, he looked at Xu Qing. Under the gazes of everyone from the Seven Blood Eyes and the killing intent from the outside world, he slowly spoke.

“Kid, ritual is only a ritual. I only want to ask your heart. Are you sincerely willing to become my disciple?”

Xu Qing lifted his head and looked into Old Master Seventh’s eyes as he spoke softly.

“Master.”

Old Master Seventh laughed loudly.

“Alright, my disciple. If you don’t leave, I won’t abandon you!” As he spoke, he dipped the thumb and index finger of his right hand into the tea and flicked it lightly at Xu Qing’s body. As the tea splattered, the apprenticeship ceremony was completed!

The bell rang again. This time, it wasn’t just the bell of the Seventh Peak but the bells on all seven peaks rang out at the same time. The sound seemed to shake everything.

“Today, I have accepted my fourth disciple. It’s a joyous occasion, but you actually dared to interrupt and demand my disciple to be handed over?”

When the Soaring Cloud Ancestor heard Old Master Seventh, he laughed from extreme anger. There was a middle-aged cultivator beside him. This person looked a little similar to Saintly Star. At this moment, his expression was ugly as he took a step forward.

His speed was so fast that he directly transformed into a blood sword that headed straight for the Seventh Peak’s purple hall. A Nascent Soul cultivation fluctuation erupted from his body, shaking the surroundings. The strength of his energy fluctuation far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, and seemed to be infinitely close to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

In an instant, the blood sword he transformed into arrived at the Seventh Peak and in front of the purple hall. Just as he was about to rush in, Old Master Seventh laughed and stood up, walking toward the outside world. He didn’t care about the blood sword that was charging over and only waved his hand.

At the next instant, the blood sword suddenly trembled and collapsed into pieces. A mournful cry rang out.

One could see the figure of the Nascent Soul middle-aged man who had transformed into the blood sword tumbling back like a kite with a broken string. 90% of his body collapsed and exploded uncontrollably, and he was on the verge of death.

This explosion was irreversible. Almost at the instant he screamed, his body collapsed and turned into blood mist that lingered in the air.

Only his Nascent Soul flew out. It looked at Old Master Seventh who walked out of the purple hall with panic and horror.

This middle-aged man from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, whose body had collapsed with a wave of Old Master Seventh’s hand and only his Nascent Soul was left, had an extremely high status in the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. He was a great elder of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.

He was also the only son of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor and the father of Saintly Star. Hence, he had attacked in anger earlier.

However, at this moment, he was in an extremely miserable state. Even his Nascent Soul was dim, on the verge of collapsing.

The shock in his heart was indescribable. He knew his strength but the other party was able to destroy his body with a wave of his hand. This cultivation base… caused his mind to shake violently. He even had a strong feeling that the other party didn’t really want to kill; otherwise, his Nascent Soul would definitely not be able to escape.

“You’re not a Nascent Soul cultivator, you’re a Spirit Repository!!” Saintly Star’s father exclaimed in disbelief. As he retreated, the minds of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s disciples trembled and their expressions changed drastically.

Only the Soaring Cloud Ancestor’s expression didn’t change much. He only took a deep look at Old Master Seventh.

“You hid it so deeply that even this old man couldn’t tell earlier. Your cultivation isn’t an ordinary Spirit Repository either. You should have opened three secret repositories.”

“However, just this is not enough. Xue Lianzi, what other methods do you have? You can take them out now.”

Old Master Seventh smiled and didn’t speak. After he walked out, he stood outside the purple hall and looked at Xue Lianzi in the sky.

Xue Lianzi also glanced at Old Master Seventh with admiration in his eyes. After that, he looked at the Soaring Cloud Ancestor and a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes.

“Let’s fight first!”

As he spoke, Xue Lianzi’s entire body swayed and streams of light erupted from his eyes, transforming into blood threads that headed straight for the Soaring Cloud Ancestor.

The Soaring Cloud Ancestor let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, the sword qi in the surroundings overflowed into the sky and attacked the approaching Xue Lianzi. In an instant, the two of them exchanged blows, causing cracks and destruction in the surroundings. They headed straight for the sky. Booming sounds spread in all directions like thunder.

The pterosaur in the clouds let out a low roar at the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect disciples. The six peak lords of the Seven Blood Eyes also displayed their cultivation bases, causing the world to tremble with their auras.

Moreover, Old Master Seventh was standing at the top of the Seventh Peak with his hands behind his back. All of this caused the cultivators of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, who had arrived aggressively, to be in a dilemma.

The few Nascent Soul cultivators among them felt their scalps tingle as they looked at Old Master Seventh with extreme fear.

The difference between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Spirit Repository was like the difference between one life fire and six life fires. If Old Master Seventh wanted to, he could instantly kill all of them. Not a single one of them could escape.

This difference caused the disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect to be extremely nervous. The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect also had a Spirit Repository, but that was their sect master. With the ancestor going out, the sect master had to stay behind to guard the sect.

They never expected that not only did the Seven Blood Eyes have a Nihility Realm ancestor, but there was also someone at the Spirit Repository Realm which was below the Nihility Realm and above the Nascent Soul Realm!

Not only were the disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect shocked, but even the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples were shocked. However, after thinking of the tradition of the Seventh Peak, they suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about this.

The other peak lords in the clouds clearly knew about it long ago and weren’t surprised at all. As for the disciples around the Seventh Peak’s Dao Altar as well as Xu Qing and the highnesses, they looked at each other.

“I suspect that the old man is still hiding,” said Third Senior Brother in a low voice.

“Old third, be more confident. It’s certain.” The captain smiled.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and Third Senior Brother but didn’t speak. As for Second Senior Sister, she was holding a jade slip and continuously transmitting her voice. It was as though she wasn’t interested in everything outside.

“Junior Brother, I knew it. When I first saw you back then, I felt that we were fated. I went back and analyzed that you would be my junior brother.” Third Senior Brother smiled and looked at Xu Qing.

“However, I didn’t expect you to actually kill Saintly Star. You have to know that when the Seven Sects Alliance did the challenges, the eldest highnesses of the other peaks might not have given their all, but the First Peak went all out.”
