376 The Youth Under the Mask (2)

“On the way here, I saw an immortal pool opened nearby. I thought of how Eldest Senior Brother liked to soak in the pool, so I applied for this jade slip that can give you a 20% discount.” Xu Qing looked into the captain’s eyes and said seriously.

When the captain heard this, a smile appeared on his face and the dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.

He felt very comfortable.

He felt that although Xu Qing had learned bad things, it also meant that he was more sensible and knew how to curry favor with his senior brother. Hence, he couldn’t pettily allocate the most difficult tasks to his junior brother.

“Forget it. There are too many things to do in this Special Security Department. I originally planned to let you deal with the conflicts with the other sects of the Alliance, but with your personality, you will probably just kill them. I guess I will handle it.”

“You’ll be in charge of the transfer of benefits and rights between the sect and the Alliance. This is a leisurely task.” As he spoke, the captain flipped through the dossiers and took out one, handing it to Xu Qing.

“Urge and safeguard the transfer of authority of the alliance’s array formation and connect to my Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation. The people from the Third Peak have communicated with them many times about this, but the Alliance’s Array Formation Department has been delaying it.”

Xu Qing took the dossier. He indeed didn’t want to spend time on these things and wanted time to study poison.

Xu Qing held the dossier and was about to leave when the captain spoke.

“Also, there’s a notice from the Alliance Headquarters that it’ll be our turn to patrol the river soon. The eight sects take turns for this river patrol mission. At that time, if there are no problems, we can slip away.”

Xu Qing nodded and left the department.

He wasn’t alone. He brought a hundred department members and the disciples in charge of array formations from the Third Peak and headed straight for the Alliance’s Array Formation Department located in the Great Expansion Dao Palace.

On the way, he asked the disciples of the Third Peak about the reason for the delay.

“Senior Brother Xu, this matter was already discussed by the higher-ups. However, the people below are dragging their feet, especially the people from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. They didn’t even arrive many times, so the handover couldn’t be completed.”

The disciple in charge of this sighed.

“Soaring Cloud Sword Sect?” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Very soon, they arrived at the Array Formation Department.

Xu Qing submitted the dossier and waited for a long time before he saw the people in charge of array formations from the other sects slowly arriving. However, after seeing Xu Qing’s figure, the expressions of these people changed and their footsteps clearly quickened.

“We greet Senior Brother Xu Qing!”

“Senior Brother Xu Qing, we didn’t know you were here and made you wait. Otherwise, we would have rushed over quickly.”

Xu Qing’s reputation was now extremely great in the Eight Sects Alliance and his name was filled with deterrence. However, he didn’t reprimand them. Instead, his gaze swept across the disciples of these sects and saw that the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect was missing.

The transfer of authority of the array formation required the other seven sects to arrive together. If any one of them was missing, the transfer would keep on being delayed.

“Senior Brother Xu, if the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t come, we probably won’t be able to continue today too…” Because the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect’s ancestors were on good terms with Xue Lianzi, the relationship between the three sects was very harmonious. At this moment, the Spirit Dawn Valley’s female disciple in charge of this matter spoke softly. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Qing’s face brightly.

Xu Qing nodded and summoned a team member beside him, handing him a jade slip.

“Send this item to the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect and give it to Chu Yunfeng. Tell him to finish this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll go and ask him to settle the account after today.”

Chu Yunfeng was the person who claimed to be Saintly Star’s Junior Brother and had been suppressed by Xu Qing in the Seven Blood Eyes.

After giving the instructions, Xu Qing sat cross-legged at the side and waited silently. The others also saw this and looked at each other, and decided to wait.

Very soon, this jade slip reached Chu Yunfeng in the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. The moment he saw the jade slip, Chu Yunfeng’s eyes turned red.

“Poison Demon Xu Qing, you’re going too far!”

“You want me to work for you with just a jade slip? Dream on!”

Chu Yunfeng snorted coldly and threw the jade slip to the side, ignoring it. However, an hour later, he still opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside. The day… was about to pass.

He sent a voice transmission to the Array Formation Department of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect with grievance and berated them.

As one of the heaven’s chosen of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, his words had some might. Very soon, the disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s Array Formation Department arrived at the headquarters with ashen faces.

The transfer of authority of the array formation proceeded smoothly.

By the time this matter was dealt with, it was already dusk.

The dusk today was a little different from usual. The sky was covered in red clouds that looked like they were on fire. It was beautiful but also revealed a hint of blood. It was as though someone had used blood to paint in the sky to perform for the gods.

Xu Qing walked on the road illuminated by the red clouds. On the way back to the Seven Blood Eyes’ main city, he looked at the red clouds in the sky. For some reason, he recalled the dream he had that night before he came to the Wanggu Continent.

At the same time, in the Yinghuang Province, far away from the Eight Sects Alliance, in the direction of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, there was a swamp.

Although the surroundings weren’t a forbidden zone, it was still filled with dense anomalous substances. It could be considered a place of death.

In the center of the swamp was a depression with a lot of water. There was a stone forest here and pieces of long black rocks rose from the swamp’s water.

The red glow in the distant sky shone on the surface of the water, causing this place to be dyed red.

There were also two figures who were dyed red.

One of these two figures was kneeling and the other was sitting at the edge of the tallest rock. One of his legs was hanging down and the other was on the stone. His body was leaning back and he supported himself with one hand as he looked at the red clouds in the sky.

The two of them were wearing masks. The pattern of this mask was shocking. It was half of the god’s face in the sky!

However, the eyes weren’t closed but opened.

At the locations of the eyes were these two people’s gazes.

“Lord, I’ve already given up on the Night Dove Organization in the Nanhuang Continent according to your instructions. I got them to go to the Seven Blood Eyes and used Seven Blood Eyes to get them killed.”

“Bai Li’s death is also related to the Seven Blood Eyes. He died at the hands of the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord.”

The person kneeling spoke in a low voice.

His voice was filled with respect and his eyes were filled with fanaticism. Even though he was the leader of Night Dove, with just a word from the other party, he gave up on Night Dove members and huge benefits. He could die for the person sitting on the rock in front of him.

“There are also two small fries who participated in that battle. This subordinate has recorded the scene.”

“After the Seven Blood Eyes joined the alliance and the Seven Sects Alliance changed to the Eight Sects Alliance, someone in the alliance contacted me and said that he wanted to join Illuminate. He also invited us to go over and watch his blood performance. He said that this performance will definitely make us hold him in high regards.”

After Night Dove spoke, the place fell silent.

After a long time, the person who was looking at the sky slowly turned his head in the direction of the Forbidden Sea where the Alliance was located and let out an elusive laugh.

“Then let’s go take a look. We can also give the Seven Blood Eyes a meeting gift.”

The person who spoke should be a youth. His voice sounded very young and didn’t have the slightest hint of age.

Night Dove’s figure was blurry, as though he had transformed into a secret treasure that hid in the void and disappeared from this place.

After a long time, the red glow in the sky gradually faded. When the bright moon appeared in the sky, the youth who was looking at the sky looked at the increasingly clear bright moon and muttered softly.

“The sect my brother is in… I haven’t seen you in eleven years, right? This is the fetter of this life.”

The youth chuckled meaningfully.
