Xu Qing was the first to know of Master Dong You's arrival.
Although Master Dong You didn't come from Port 176, the entire Seven Blood Pupil's Arresting Division was busy searching for Ye Jiu under Xu Qing's orders, so he was naturally well-informed.
The matter of capturing Ye Jiu also eased the conflict between Xu Qing and the other Six Peak Arresting Officers due to their crossing of the boundary.
After all, capturing Ye Jiu was a huge reward, especially Ye Jiu. Every time they captured one, they would obtain a lot of spirit stones.
This was also the most important reason why the other six Arresting Divisions were willing to listen to Xu Qing's orders.
Otherwise, if he wanted the Arresting Officers of the other six peaks to listen to Xu Qing, even if Xu Qing's battle prowess and reputation were great, they would still not give him any face.
After all, no one owed anyone anything in this world.
Even though Xu Qing was a Sequence Cultivator, it wasn't as if no Sequence Cultivator had died inexplicably. They were all characters who had struggled from the bottom of the sea of blood. They didn't lack intelligence and had many tricks up their sleeves.
However, in the face of benefits, they were all good friends, so it was reasonable for them to inform each other.
After Xu Qing heard the news, he was very vigilant. However, he had already analyzed this matter, so although he was vigilant, it wasn't enough to affect his daily life.
At the same time, while Xu Qing was on guard, Xue Lianzi had already invited Master Dong You to the fourth peak.
Xue Lianzi was from the fourth peak, so he usually lived in the fourth peak. After bidding farewell, the two, who had reached the Third Stage, talked about business.
After it was over, Master Dong You casually said, "My friend, Master Dong You made a friend with Ye Jiu.
Master Dong You's wrinkled face revealed a faint smile. "I heard that my little granddaughter made a friend called Xu Qing in the Seven Blood Pupil. Xu Qing seems to be a good child, so I'll give him a gift."
Master Dong You took out a jade box.
He handed it to Xue Lianzi.
Xue Lianzi laughed, not feigning ignorance. At their level of cultivation, many things were handled in a very clever way. For example, Esteemed East Nether hadn't asked about this matter at all, but the gift he had given was a clear indication of his attitude.
Of course, Xue Lianzi was aware of this, and accepted it with a laugh. He didn't make any arrangements, but before long, a whistling sound could be heard from outside. Yan Yan, who had just been released, rushed in.
After recuperating for some time, she had already recovered from her previous injuries. Moreover, there was no trace of grievance on her face. At this moment, when she saw her grandmother, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked forward and hugged Master Dong You's arm. "Grandma, why are you here?"
Guru Dong Wraith's gaze landed on his granddaughter. When he saw that she was acting normally, he smiled faintly. However, his heart still ached for the hardships she had suffered over the past few days. In truth, he was somewhat displeased with Xu Qing. At that moment, he lifted his hand to stroke Yan Yan's head and was about to say something.
But Yanyan was the first to utter a shocking sentence.
"Grandma, I want to marry Xu Qing!"
Guru Dong Wraith was stunned. She knew that there was something wrong with her granddaughter, and the more she knew, the more incredulous she felt when she heard this sudden sentence.
Xue Lianzi was also stunned. This matter was truly beyond his expectations. He naturally knew that there was something wrong with this junior of his old friend's family, but he didn't expect that after being locked up for a few months by Xu Qing, she would be released as soon as she was released.
Yet, she only said this one sentence.
"I feel that in this world, only he is worthy of me. Grandma, I want to marry him. I won't marry anyone else but him!"
Yan Yan shook Master Dong Wraith's arm with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
Seeing this, Guru Dong Wraith let out a low roar and lowered his head, feeling wronged. "Impudent! How could you do this in front of your elders!?"
Although Guru Dong Wraith said this, the shock in his heart was extremely strong. He turned his head to look at Xue Lianzi.
"Fellow Daoist Xue Lianzi, if you have time later, can you arrange for me to meet that child, Xu Qing?"
Xue Lianzi hesitated. He felt that this matter was a little strange, but if he could really facilitate this marriage, it seemed to be very good, so he laughed and nodded in agreement, but didn't mention a specific time.
For some reason, this matter quickly spread in the sect. In a day, it was known by all seven peaks. Among them, Ding Xue's reaction was the biggest. She seemed to be about to explode.
Zhao Zhongheng, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
In addition, in the second peak, in Gu Muqing's cave residence, pills exploded several times.
Xu Qing naturally heard about it and frowned. He felt that this matter was a little absurd. Moreover, Xu Qing felt that the matter between men and women should be a waste of cultivation time without any benefits.
When he was a child, he heard his teacher mention something about love between a man and a woman, but until now, he had never experienced it and didn't know what it was.
In his memory, slums and scavenger camps were mostly inhabited by many people who lived alone.
"Strange." Xu Qing's expression was calm, and there wasn't the slightest ripple in his heart.
In the following days, he rejected Yan Yan's appointment many times.
For Xu Qing, who was immersed in refining the wish box and dealing with Ye Jiu, time was very precious. He didn't want to pay attention to unimportant things and people.
In addition, as time passed, the port of the Seven Blood Pupils became extremely lively with the arrival of foreign envoys and allies. For the first time, cultivators from the Ancient Gaze Continent appeared among the people who came!
The cultivators from the Ancient Gaze Continent that came were three women wearing long green dresses and veils.
Their figures were graceful and there was a faint mist around their bodies. Clearly, this was a strange cultivation method that was completely different from the Seven Blood Pupils cultivators.
There was a celestial mountain embroidered on their dresses. The vines seemed to contain some dao runes, which made them seem so high that they couldn't be looked at directly.
In particular, there were very few abnormalities in their bodies. Although there were some, they were so few that if one didn't carefully sense them, it was almost impossible to detect them.
All of this attracted the attention of the Seven Blood Pupils disciples.
For many years, almost no one had come from the Ancient Gaze Continent, and the Ancient Gaze Continent was vast and unpredictable to the Seven Blood Pupils disciples. Many people even instinctively felt that the cultivators from the Ancient Gaze Continent were superior.
In reality, this was indeed the case. Whether it was spiritual energy, cultivation methods, vision, or orthodoxy, the Ancient Gaze Continent was far superior to the Seven Blood Pupils. The sects and cultivators there naturally had a transcendent attitude.
This was especially true for the three female cultivators who came. Not only were their figures ethereal, but they also had a fragrance on their bodies. It was as if they were out of this world, and their cultivation levels were shocking.
Among the three, two of the women had opened around 100 magic acupoints. It was obvious that they were going to try for the four flames.
The tallest one had 120 magic acupoints shining with starlight. Even though she hadn't entered the Mysterious Brilliant state, she still gave off the feeling that the world was being refined by starfire.
The arrival of the three of them was like a bright moon that made countless stars dim. They became the focus of the Seven Blood Pupils and a hot topic.
As for the specifics, Xu Qing only knew about the three from the files. He had never seen them in person, so he couldn't find out.
However, he also knew from the files that the three cultivators from the Ancient Gaze Continent represented a force called the Taisi Celestial Sect.
At the same time, the Seven Blood Pupils suddenly announced some secrets and information about the Ancient Gaze Continent to all the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect.
Normally, the sect wouldn't easily reveal these things, so most of the disciples didn't know much. However, with the arrival of the people from the Ancient Gaze Continent and the announcement of the sect, the mysterious veil in the hearts of the Seven Blood Pupils disciples was lifted.
-Horn.
The Ancient Gaze Continent was vast and boundless. It was divided into several large regions. Within the regions, there were prefectures, and within the prefectures, there were tens of thousands of races, and strange things were everywhere.
Almost no one could go to the end of the Ancient Gaze Continent. It was almost impossible.
The size of the continent was unimaginable.
The origin of the human race was in the depths of the Ancient Gaze Continent. It was extremely far away from the forbidden sea outside the Seven Blood Pupils.
It was the capital of the last human ancient emperor. It was also an incomparably sacred place for the human race on the Ancient Gaze Continent.
That ancient emperor was called Xuan You.
Not only did he suppress the tens of thousands of races, create an era, and unify the Ancient Gaze Continent, but he also built a road from the capital to the forbidden sea. This road passed through 37 large regions and extended to the sea.
In the past, it was called the Xuan You Royal Road. After many eras, its name changed to the Xuan You Ancient Road.
Although the human race had declined and tens of thousands of races had risen. Countless forbidden lands had formed, and the human race had lost its halo and a large number of territories, they still managed to preserve this ancient road.
The continuation of the human race also developed around this ancient road.
Over the years, seven prefectures of the human race were formed on this ancient road. The human race's sects rose and fell, and their overall strength was declining. Even so, the human race, which had seven prefectures and one large region of the capital, was still one of the strongest races on the Ancient Gaze Continent.
As for the seven prefectures of the human race on the Xuan You Ancient Road, they were in different large regions. The end of the ancient road was the seventh prefecture of the human race. It was in the Saint Edge Region, close to the forbidden sea, and was called the Sealed Sea Prefecture.
It looked like a prefecture, but in reality, it was still very big compared to the Seven Blood Eyes. It was divided into five prefectures, and each prefecture was more than ten times the size of the Southern Phoenix Prefecture.
The prefecture closest to the forbidden sea was the Ying Huang Prefecture of the Sealed Sea Prefecture.
It was rumored that the Xuan You Ancient Emperor had attained his Dao overseas and came ashore from there. He started his conquest of the Ancient Gaze Continent, and that was why this prefecture was named after him.
In the Ying Huang Prefecture, there were many different forces. There were even foreign races who had set up bases and cities there. After countless years of war and change, there were six forces that were at the top, and their names spread far and wide.
They were respectively …
Hundreds of small and medium-sized sects gathered together, and the seven major sects led the colossal organization called the Seven Sect Alliance.
The Departure Sect was located in the Ying Huang Prefecture, and they worshipped the Xuan You Ancient Emperor with fanaticism. They had done many crazy things, and they had set off bloodshed and worship ceremonies at the Departure Dao Altar.
The native cultivators of the Ying Huang Prefecture, and they had a mysterious inheritance. In name, they were the head of the Ying Huang Prefecture … the Taisi Immortal Sect!
The fourth force gathered countless strange creatures. They fed on flesh and drank souls. Their ferocious reputation could strike fear and despair into the hearts of cultivators. They kept 137 cities of humans in captivity. Corpses were everywhere, and the ground was covered in mud formed from rotting flesh. The other forces were helpless against the Three Spirits Guarding the Dao Mountain.
As for the fifth force, they were even more aloof. They almost never participated in any of the conflicts of interest in the Ying Huang Prefecture. They gathered around a Taichu Departing Pillar left behind by an unknown half-step Sovereign from many eras ago.
This Taichu Departing Pillar was actually an inheritance. It was so tall that it reached the clouds. As for how tall it was, very few people could truly reach it. It was said that those who reached the peak would receive its inheritance.
So far, there were only two people who had reached the peak. There were countless names carved on the Taichu Departing Pillar. Anyone who had the right to carve their name here would receive a layer of protection from the Taichu Departing Pillar on their souls.
The final faction was a ferocious ghost of unfathomable origins. He wore armor, held an enormous blade in his hand, and carried two worlds on his shoulders. He was fully 300,000 meters tall, and looked like the spirit of a wretched god. He sat cross-legged in the Royal Welcoming Prefecture, emanating a shocking aura that seemed capable of devouring all things. He was like an enormous mountain.
The two worlds on its shoulders were the sixth force. It was called the Southern Mountain Ghost Mountain, and the spirit of the evil god was also called the Southern Mountain Ghost Emperor.
Apart from that, there were many foreign races and many forbidden areas. There were even two forbidden areas that suppressed the surroundings. There were even terrifying forbidden areas that were filled with foreign matter every year.
