"Arrest?"
When the black-robed young woman heard this, she began to laugh. However, even as her laughter rang out, more and more voices could be heard coming from all corners of the 176 Docks.
"Obey the orders of the Judiciary!"
As the voices rang out, more than a thousand figures charged out from all corners of the city, sealing off all 176 Harbors.
"A bunch of trifling Qi Condensation cultivators want to lock me down?
I'll kill a few for you to see! "
The black-robed young woman's eyes shone with killing intent. Her vital fire surged, and three balls of flame shot up into the air. Her speed exploded as she shot toward the charging disciples of the Hunters Department.
Xu Qing looked at her coldly, then raised his identity medallion high above his head.
"Xu Qing, Vice Commissioner of the Hunters Department, has applied for a Sect grand spell formation to seal off all 176 Harbors. Cultivators who are not members of the Sect are not allowed to fly!"
As soon as Xu Qing's words left his mouth, the sound of a bell rang out from all directions. The power of the Seven Blood Eyes spell formation exploded out, enveloping the entire area. The black-robed young woman's face fell.
With a loud bang, his body was suppressed by an invisible force. It covered his entire body and he was forcefully pressed to the ground. He could not even lift himself up. Even the Life Fire in his body was on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.
"How dare you!"
Said the young woman. Although she was pinned down, the killing intent in her eyes did not lessen. In fact, it grew even stronger.
Xu Qing wasn't lying. The reason the young woman had been able to act so arrogantly without anyone stopping her was because the rules and regulations of the Seven Blood Eyes were extremely strict. It was almost impossible to overstep the bounds of the rules. Unless a subordinate Division was unable to handle the matter and chose to report it, the superior Division would not interfere.
The entire Seven Blood Eyes operated according to this system of rules. There were occasional exceptions.
"Outer Sect disciples are not allowed to ignite two vital fires!"
Said Xu Qing, looking coldly at the enraged young woman. There was no need for him to do anything. Based on his authority as a member of the Hunters Department and his status in the Seven Blood Eyes, it was as if he possessed the power of natural law.
The reason he did this was because he was keenly aware that many people were looking at him from all directions. He didn't want to expose some of his secrets.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Seven Blood Eyes spell formation roared, and an invisible force once again enveloped the area. The black-robed young woman's face fell. As the spell formation roared, her third vital fire was extinguished!
As for the second ball of Life Fire, it was also extinguished in an instant!
Only a ball of Life Fire was still burning. Being suppressed in this manner caused a certain degree of backlash to the black-clothed girl. She immediately spat out blood, but the veins on her forehead bulged and the murderous intent in her eyes was shocking.
It was as if all the hair on its body had stood on end as it struggled madly.
But in the next moment, Xu Qing moved. His shadow covered the life lamps. Xu Qing's two life fires were in the Mystic Brilliance State. His speed was astonishing. He tore through the air and arrived in front of the young girl, slapping her.
With a boom, the girl coughed out a large mouthful of blood. Her right cheek swelled up, and she spat out a large number of teeth. Her body slammed into a nearby building.
Xu Qing took a step forward, moving with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of the young girl.
The young woman's body shone brightly, and a pendant hung from her chest. As it shone, a shield appeared around her, and with a bang, Xu Qing's right foot was blocked.
The young girl took advantage of the time Xu Qing blocked to quickly crawl away. Her face was ferocious, and her eyes were filled with madness. She tore off the pendant, and a vicious expression appeared on her face.
"Outer Sect disciples are not allowed to use any Enchanted Artifacts or Enchanted Treasures!"
Xu Qing said coolly, and the spell formation descended once again.
With a boom, the protective light around the young girl's body collapsed. Blood poured out of her mouth, and her hair was disheveled. She let out a shrill cry filled with unwillingness as she glared at Xu Qing.
"If you have the ability, then fight me fair and square!
"Idiot."
Xu Qing's body flickered, and he appeared in front of the black-clothed girl. He slapped her again, and the young girl's body was sent flying. Many of her teeth were shattered, and the moment she landed on the ground, she suddenly took out a jade slip and crushed it. Instantly, the power of teleportation spread out.
"Teleportation is forbidden for Outer Sect disciples," Xu Qing said calmly.
The Seven Blood Eyes spell formation descended once again, destroying all traces of teleportation. The black-clothed girl's eyes filled with anger and frustration. She was about to speak when Xu Qing appeared in front of her and slapped her again.
With a boom, the black-clothed girl coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her body went limp. However, her expression was still ferocious, and her anger was incomparably strong. It seemed that even if she died, she would not submit in the slightest.
Xu Qing gave the young girl a meaningful look. Although his principle was to kill all existences that posed a threat to his life, he was no fool.
Doing such a thing in front of so many people, and thus causing a great deal of trouble and danger for himself, was not a principle, it was stupidity.
Update!
Therefore, Xu Qing reined in the killing intent in his eyes. He raised his right hand and slapped the young girl's head. With a boom, the young girl coughed up another mouthful of blood. The last bit of life flame in her body was extinguished, and she was seriously injured by Xu Qing's attack. She fainted.
The extent of her injuries was about the same as those of the disciples who had been knocked unconscious by Xu Qing.
After doing all this, Xu Qing stood in place, grabbed the young girl's hair, turned his head, and calmly said,
"Seal the Dharmic Bracelet!"
Instantly, dozens of Homicide Department disciples appeared behind him, all of them looking at Xu Qing with reverence. As they neared, they produced numerous bracelet-like objects and placed them onto the young woman's arm.
A moment later, the young girl regained consciousness. Her eyes snapped open, and she let out a roar. The Dharmic Bracelet on her arm instantly collapsed.
The young girl laughed maniacally.
"Xu Qing, I'll remember you!" she said. "No one has ever dared to be so disrespectful to me. You're the first!" With that, Xu Qing walked over expressionlessly and slapped her again.
With a boom, the young girl's head slammed into the ground, and she passed out for real.
"Put ten Dharmic Bracelets on her," said Xu Qing coolly.
"Give her ten," said Xu Qing coolly.
These bracelets were specially designed by the Homicide Department to deal with outer sect Foundation Establishment cultivators. Two of them could suppress one flame, making it impossible for it to spread out. Ten of them could seal three flames, and that was more than enough.
For example, when Nightingale had been captured by the Homicide Department's Division Chief, he had placed such bracelets on her.
Before long, the unconscious black-clothed girl had ten bracelets on her.
"Send her to the Profound Department to be suppressed. Without my order, she's not to be released!"
Xu Qing's expression was calm. As soon as he spoke, more disciples from the Homicide Department arrived. They carried the young girl and prepared to leave.
At that moment, the sound of something piercing through the air could be heard. The voice echoed before the figure.
"Junior Brother Xu Qing, can you make an exception?"
Xu Qing looked up and saw the tall figure of the second prince flying over. There were still traces of the restriction on her body. Clearly, she had been imprisoned before, so she couldn't stop the black-clothed girl.
"Greetings, Second Prince." Xu Qing clasped his fists and looked at Huang Yan.
Huang Yan looked at the second prince and spoke in a low voice.
"Senior Sister, Xu Qing is helping me."
The second prince wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Huang Yan and then at the black-clothed girl who was being carried away. He hesitated for a moment.
"Junior Brother Xu Qing, if she dies, the Patriarch will also be troubled."
It'll be difficult for you. "There was no threat in his words, but it was a reminder of his concerns.
"She violated the rules of the sect. Fortunately, she didn't kill anyone, so she doesn't deserve to die. However, she still needs to be imprisoned.
That's the rule, "Xu Qing said softly.
Hearing this, the second prince nodded.
"As long as she doesn't die, it's fine. I'm a bit annoyed with her. Thank you for today, Junior Brother Xu Qing." With that, she looked at Huang Yan with a gentle gaze and walked over.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Qing looked away and waited silently.
As for the injured, they had all been taken care of. Soon, Huang Yan clasped his fists and left. Everything was quiet.
As Xu Qing waited, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. This time, he had come to help Huang Yan, but also because the black-clothed girl had taken the initiative to provoke him. In addition, he wanted to see how safe the Seven Blood Pupil's so-called Echelon could make him.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the sky. It was an old man wearing a blue Daoist robe. The fluctuations of his Golden Core Cultivation base were extremely powerful, and as he arrived, a powerful pressure spread out in all directions.
Xu Qing lowered his head and clasped his fists.
"Greetings, Elder."
Xu Qing didn't recognize him, but in the Seven Blood Pupil, someone wearing a blue Daoist robe and giving off such pressure was naturally one of the Elders.
The old man hovered in midair and looked Xu Qing up and down. A look of admiration appeared in his eyes, and then he spoke.
"Xu Qing, Lord Sixth wants me to ask you something. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"Can I kill her?" asked Xu Qing.
"No. Although that girl is domineering, she doesn't deserve to die. Besides, her grandmother is on good terms with the Patriarch."
Xu Qing nodded.
"According to the sect rules, her Cultivation base will be crippled, and she will be imprisoned in Candle Bone Cave for three years."
The Elder of the Sixth Peak laughed. He could see Xu Qing's intentions, and knew that the girl had provoked him first. If Xu Qing hadn't been in the Echelon, he wouldn't have been so kind.
However, since he was in the Echelon, it meant that he was the future of the Seven Blood Pupil. Such a person couldn't be humiliated, especially since the Patriarch was clearly very pleased with what they had done.
Furthermore, as an image disciple, he hated being provoked by an outsider in his own sect. Therefore, he shook his head.
"Do as you see fit, but don't worry about crippling her Cultivation base.
With that, the Golden Core Elder turned and left.
Xu Qing clasped his fists and sent him off. After the Elder left, he turned and headed back to his berth.
At the same time, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons of his actions.
Apart from arousing the hatred of the black-robed girl and the trouble behind her, there was nothing else.
He had also benefited a lot. Putting aside Huang Yan, the most important thing was that Xu Qing had discovered his value in the Echelon within the Seven Blood Pupil.
'From the looks of it, the Seven Blood Pupil's tolerance and kindness towards the Echelon are extremely high.'
Xu Qing recalled his experience after entering the Seven Blood Pupil and fell into deep thought. He remembered what Zhang Yunshi, who had brought him to the Seventh Peak, had said.
Zhang Yunshi had said that the disciples at the foot of the mountain raised Gu, while the disciples on the mountain raised Gu freely.
From the looks of it, Zhang Yunshi didn't know anything about the Echelon because of his status. Based on Xu Qing's judgment, the Echelon was similar to what Zhang Yunshi had said to the Seven Blood Pupil.
Zhang Yunshi had said that the disciples at the foot of the mountain raised Gu, while the disciples on the mountain raised Gu freely.
From the looks of it, Zhang Yunshi didn't know anything about the Echelon because of his status. Based on Xu Qing's judgment, the Echelon was similar to the true core of the Seven Blood Pupil.
'So, as long as I don't betray the sect, I'm safe in the Seven Blood Pupil.'
Xu Qing pondered. At the same time, he also understood the drawback of the Echelon. It was that his bond with the Seven Blood Pupil had become extremely deep.
This was not a bond of emotions, but of status and the understanding of outsiders.
