"Captain, why are you trembling?" In the eastern part of the Southern Phoenix Continent, in Deer Horn City, on the teleportation array.
As the teleportation array flashed, Xu Qing and the captain appeared.
Xu Qing hid his appearance as usual, and the captain disguised himself as a middle-aged man. However, when he walked out of the teleportation array, his legs were clearly trembling.
Xu Qing was surprised.
"Trembling?
How is that possible? Xu Qing, you must be mistaken. "The captain coughed and patted his leg.
Xu Qing was silent. He didn't need to guess to know that the captain must have done something big in the headquarters. Moreover, it was obviously not a small matter. Otherwise, with the captain's craziness, it was impossible for him to still be trembling after arriving here.
Since the captain didn't say anything, Xu Qing didn't ask. At this moment, after walking out of the teleportation array, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Deer Horn City. The scene of him being teleported here after burning down the Vajra Sect appeared in his mind.
With reminiscence in his heart, Xu Qing walked forward.
Although this was a branch city of the Seven Blood Pupil, the location was remote and the environment was harsh. It was much dirtier than the main city of the Seven Blood Pupil. There were rotting things everywhere, and there were skinny figures sitting in the corners of the streets. Most of them were staring blankly at the sky.
The entire city was filled with an oppressive aura.
Xu Qing walked forward silently. Along the way, he didn't meet any blind people. After all, although people were violent in this barren land, those who could survive here weren't fools.
They could instinctively distinguish who they could bully and who they couldn't provoke.
Xu Qing and the captain gave them the feeling that they were the latter.

"Xu Qing, are you really not curious?"
When they reached the city gate, the captain couldn't help but take out an apple and take a bite. He didn't care about the surroundings. Instead, he was curious that Xu Qing could really resist asking.
"I'm curious."
Xu Qing didn't turn back. After walking out of Deer Horn City, he looked at the forbidden land he had lived in for seven years. After the god opened his eyes, it turned into ruins.
Deer Horn City wasn't very far from the small city he had lived in back then.
"You don't seem curious at all … Forget it, since you were once my team member and owe me fifty thousand spirit stones, I can reveal a little.
"Ancestor, we're playing a big game of chess!
I can't say anymore. If I do, the Old Ancestor will skin me alive!
The captain looked around and said in a low voice.
Xu Qing acknowledged with a grunt of acknowledgement before hurriedly moving forward. He did not intend to return to the ruined city. There was nothing for him to be reluctant to leave there. Moreover, he had been hunted down by the ancestor of the Vajra Sect last time, and the strangeness of the place was also a result of that karmic connection.
There was no point in going there again.
Therefore, Xu Qing's direction was the scavenger camp.
The captain walked beside him, looking at the wilderness around them as they walked. It was the beginning of spring, and the snow on the ground could still be seen occasionally. The wind that blew didn't have much spring in it. Although it didn't freeze the ground, it was still freezing.
"Let me tell you about Xu Qing. Sixth Master … he's also an old actor.
That day on Starfish Island, he put on a good show. "
Seeing that Xu Qing still didn't continue to ask, the captain felt an itch in his heart. He couldn't help but want to show off what he had seen, but he didn't dare to say it all.
Xu Qing nodded.
"Aiya, Xu Qing, I really want to criticize you. It's not good for you to be like this." The captain was a little helpless and took a bite of the apple.
"I definitely don't know what I saw in the Sixth Summit. It's too shocking, too unexpected. This is a huge game of chess."
"As expected, the older one is, the shrewder they are. Those old fellows from our Seven Blood Pupils can all play people in the palm of their hands."
The captain took a deep breath and sighed.
Xu Qing frowned. He didn't really understand when he heard this. He only knew that the captain's big move should be related to the Sixth Summit. When he thought of the scene where the captain's eyes lit up when he saw the Sixth Summit, his heart skipped a beat.
"Captain, you didn't go to the Sixth Summit and say something, did you?"
The captain raised his eyebrows and was a little displeased.
"What do you mean by that? Vice-Captain, I have to remind you, how can you talk to your superior like that!
"I'm the head of the Department of Detectives," Xu Qing said indifferently.
"I'm your Senior Brother!" The captain finished the apple and took a pear, as if he knew that Xu Qing would say that.
"I haven't acknowledged him as my master yet," Xu Qing replied.
"Hurry up and greet His Highness!" The captain raised his chin and looked at Xu Qing arrogantly.
Xu Qing was silent. He realized that he couldn't outtalk the captain this time, so he pretended not to hear and continued forward. With his current speed, it would only take him an hour to reach the scavenger camp from Deer Horn City.
Therefore, at this moment, he had already jumped over the mountain and saw the scavenger camp at the foot of the mountain. He also saw the dark forest in the distance.
Looking from here, the top of the forest in the forbidden zone was shrouded in black fog. Bolts of lightning filled the air, and occasionally, they would fall into the forbidden zone and cause rumbling sounds.
The captain glanced at the forbidden zone in the distance, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
"This forbidden zone is very big, and there are fluctuations of divinity inside!"
Xu Qing nodded. In the past, his cultivation was too weak and he didn't know about divinity. Now that he was standing here, he could clearly feel the fluctuations of divinity spreading in the forbidden zone in the distance.
Soon, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and stared at the scavenger camp below. It was still chaotic there, and he could faintly hear unrestrained laughter inside.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and walked forward. The captain coughed beside him.
"Little Ah Qing, Senior Brother has been giving in to you before, but you don't have to be discouraged. This matter is too big, and I can't tell you.
"It's just that this matter has affected the battlefield. You don't know, but when I entered the Sixth Summit and saw it, I was stunned.
"Also, I think that the future development of the Seven Blood Pupils should be very good under the leadership of this group of old foxes …
"Are you really not curious?
How about this, you say a few words that I like to hear, and I'll risk being skinned alive to tell you. How about that? "
On the way down the mountain, the captain was clearly the one with the secret. He kept trying to make Xu Qing curious, but in the end, he showed off.
The will of glory made him even more anxious than Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was silent. He didn't say a word and walked into the scavenger camp.
What entered his eyes was similar to what he remembered. The ground was filled with filth, and the surroundings were tattered. There were scavengers wearing leather jackets. Some of them were covered in filth, and some of them had scars on their faces.
The arrival of Xu Qing and the captain caused the noisy scavenger camp to slowly quiet down. Most of the scavengers here retreated a little, and there was a fawning look on their faces.
However, Xu Qing knew that behind this fawning, they were observing to see if they could snatch it.
Xu Qing swept his gaze over them and ignored them. He didn't see any familiar figures here. After all, two years was not much different from a lifetime for most scavengers.
When Xu Qing arrived at the house he used to live in, he stopped.
This house was already occupied by someone else.
After a while, Xu Qing sighed softly in his heart and turned to leave. The captain also looked at the house and knew that it should be where Xu Qing used to live. At this moment, he walked beside Xu Qing and was about to leave with him when he suddenly saw a tent.
There was a feather hanging from the top of the tent.
Unlike Xu Qing's childhood, the captain obviously didn't know what a tent with a feather in it was in the slums of the scavenger camp. However, when he saw someone walk out of the tent holding up their pants, he knew the answer.
"So that's how it is. It's not much different from a brothel. The only difference is that the scavenger camp uses a feather as a sign."
The captain suddenly understood. He was about to look away, but then he stared at the feather, and then at Xu Qing.
"Xu Qing," he said, his eyes wide, "when you saw that half of my body was gone, you said you would give me a feather …."
Xu Qing glanced at him, then pulled out an apple and took a bite out of it. Then he walked out.
The captain snorted and looked at the feather again. Then he turned and ran after Xu Qing. It was unknown how he communicated with Xu Qing, but by the time he caught up to him, he had seven or eight more feathers in his hand.
"This is a good toy. When we get back, I'll give one to Zhang San."
Xu Qing walked out of the scavenger camp and headed toward the restricted area. He glanced at the feathers in the captain's hand and then suddenly asked, "What happened?"
"Captain, what did you see in the Six Peaks?"
A smile appeared on the captain's face. He had been waiting for Xu Qing to say this. He had been holding it in all the way, so he did not hide it anymore. After putting away the feather, he looked around and said in a low voice.
"Before I tell you the answer, you should recall the route of the sect's war this time.
"First, the Seventh Peak set the location of the grand competition on the Mermaid Island. Then, it attracted the Sea Corpse Race. The ancestor suddenly appeared and actually broke through … Then, the Mermaid Island was set up as the frontline command center. It was like an iron bucket."
"Then, they declared war on the Sea Corpse Race. They moved forward step by step and occupied the sub-island. Now, they are attacking the Sea Corpse Race's territory."
"Just like that, a line was formed in the Forbidden Sea. The Seven Blood Pupils, which were originally very far away from the Ancient Gazing Continent,
On the Sea Corpse Race's territory.
The distance between them and the Ancient Gazing Continent became very close …
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"Then, what is the goal of the sect?
Is fighting the Sea Corpse Race everything?
Is it possible that fighting the Sea Corpse Race … is just a part of a deeper strategic goal? "
The captain said softly.
"In the Sixth Peak, I saw a statue that did not belong to the Sea Corpse Race. It was not one of the Nine Supremes. It was the power source of the Sixth Peak's war fortress."
