"Third Brother will be in charge of spreading the news. I'll be in charge of receiving guests. Xu Qing, you'll be in charge.
"Yes," the captain quickly said.
"That's right. I'll spread the news that Xu Qing is also going to challenge the Alliance's geniuses."
Third Senior Brother smiled and said softly.
"That's right. Just say that he won't be challenging everyone this time. Instead, he'll be choosing a few people for a life and death battle!"
The captain took out an apple and took a bite.
"The specific list hasn't been decided yet. I'm considering who to challenge."
Xu Qing thought for a moment before speaking. The three of them looked at each other.
The captain had a faint smile, Third Senior Brother had a gentle expression, and Xu Qing had a calm expression.
"Then it's decided. Those people from the Alliance aren't fools. Anyone with a brain will think of sending something over."
The captain coughed and looked around.
"You two continue. I'll go to the other pools. There are too few female disciples here."
With that, the captain got up and left. Third Senior Brother also stretched. After saying goodbye to Xu Qing, he approached the disciples of the other sects. His face was gentle and he looked harmless.
Xu Qing ignored him. He closed his eyes and silently breathed in and out.
But soon, Xu Qing opened his eyes. He saw a female disciple from the Alliance approaching him. Her face was slightly red as she carefully sat down.
As for Third Senior Brother, Xu Qing glanced over and saw that he was talking and laughing with a group of Alliance disciples. They all seemed to be very harmonious.
Xu Qing was silent. He knew that it was because the spiritual energy in the pool was very dense and had washed away some of his concealment.
Although it hadn't completely dissipated, unless one was familiar with him, it would be very difficult to recognize him. But even if only a part of it was revealed, his appearance was still strangely beautiful.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to meditate. But not long after, he opened his eyes.
Three more female disciples had gathered around him, all of whom sat down in front of him and began to whisper to each other, apparently discussing his appearance. One of the bolder female disciples noticed that Xu Qing had opened his eyes, and chuckled.
"Junior Brother, which sect are you from? You look a bit unfamiliar."
"Alright."
Xu Qing didn't say anything. He closed his eyes.
Time passed, and two hours later, the captain came back from afar while eating an apple and humming a tune. He felt that the other pools were boring, and there were fewer and fewer female disciples, so he came back to look for Xu Qing and Old Third.
However, as he approached the pool and took a closer look, the captain's eyes went wide. The song was cut off, and he forgot to eat the apple. He stared blankly at the pool, which had been empty when he had left.
At this moment … there were many cultivators, and more than half of them were female disciples.
Third Brother was at the side of the pool, hugging women on his left and right. He was talking to three to five female disciples in a low voice, causing them to laugh from time to time.
Off to the side, Xu Qing was nowhere to be seen. He was now surrounded by female cultivators.
This scene made the captain sigh. He now knew why there were fewer female disciples in the other pools. Thus, he walked a few steps forward, unwilling to give in, and also wanted to enter the pool.
However, there were too many people here. Just as the captain was about to leave, a round-faced female disciple with freckles on her face raised her head in dissatisfaction and glanced at him.
"There's no more space here. A man like you shouldn't come here anymore. Can't you go to another pool?
"
Seeing his senior brother being scolded, Third Brother smiled and patted the head of the female disciple next to him. He got up and left the pool, pulling the captain with him.
"What's the situation here? Where's Fourth Brother?"
The captain turned around and looked at the pool.
"Fourth Brother left long ago. As for the situation here, can't you guess it?"
"Sigh."
"Femme fatale."
The captain sighed again.
At this moment, Xu Qing had already returned to his residence and was sitting cross-legged in meditation. The spiritual energy in his body was very dense. He had to admit that the Ancient Immortal River was indeed strange. Xu Qing felt that if he cultivated in it for a long time, no matter how many mutants there were in his body, they would slowly decrease.
Although it was impossible to root them out and they would slowly grow, if he cultivated in it for a long time, it was still possible to reduce the number of mutants in his body to almost nothing.
"No wonder the alliance wanted to open the taboo to destroy the Shaosi Sect's dam and attract the tributary of the Ancient Immortal River."
Xu Qing raised his head and looked towards the east.
In that direction was the area where the Taisi Immortal Sect was located. It was also the place where the Ancient Immortal River flowed in and out. Thirty percent of the river was within the Taisi Immortal Sect's territory.
One could imagine that the Taisi Immortal Sect, which owned the upper reaches of the river, would naturally benefit the most.
Xu Qing closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
The night passed.
When the next morning arrived, the business group formed by the Seven Blood Pupils began to officially contact the Seven Sect Alliance to discuss the location, incorporation, and other details.
Since it was related to the incorporation of a Greater Sect, it was destined that this discussion would not end quickly. It involved many different aspects, such as the continuation of formations, the continuation of businesses, the change of laws and regulations, and so on.
As one of the attendants, Xu Qing felt bored after participating in half of the event, so he simply returned to his residence to continue his cultivation. He had already completely integrated the Seven-colored Wind-Chanting Lamp into his body, and after fully mastering it, Xu Qing discovered an interesting change.
That was … when he had two Life Lamps, each of them would be strengthened!
Xu Qing was very interested in this point. Therefore, he put more effort into this, carefully exploring and experimenting.
Like him, there were many other Highnesses who chose not to attend the meeting. Most of them only showed their faces for a brief moment before finding an excuse to slip away and begin their own challenges.
Soon, the disciples of the various sects in the alliance were in an uproar.
The challenges of the Seven Blood Pupils' Highnesses were extremely arrogant and powerful. Especially the First Peak, which was represented by the Second Highness, went straight to the Lingyun Sword Sect.
The other peaks were the same. In a short period of time, the higher-ups were discussing the details while the disciples were filled with fighting spirit. This caused all kinds of discussions in the alliance, and the impact was getting bigger and bigger.
After three days, the details of the incorporation were discussed by the representatives of both sides. The challenges of the Seven Blood Pupils' Peaks to the Seven Sects had reached the climax. Although there were victories and defeats, the Seven Blood Pupils' Peaks were obviously more imposing.
Especially … when a piece of news was spread, the disciples of the alliance were completely stirred.
This news was related to Xu Qing, and it was about him choosing a target to challenge.
When this news was spread, the geniuses of the various peaks in the alliance were in danger. They knew that Xu Qing's existence was like Master Sheng Dan, who had six flames and was able to fight against a Gold Core Realm cultivator in a Heaven Palace.
No one wanted to fight such a terrifying and peerless cultivator, especially when the news said that it would be a battle to the death. Because of that, everyone's hearts were pounding.
Avoiding the battle was a matter of face. Therefore, some of the smarter ones, such as Zhou Qifan, secretly got in touch with their captains and sent them gifts to express their goodwill.
The news quickly spread, and soon, the geniuses of the various peaks were worried about being challenged, so they arranged for their subordinates to secretly get in touch with them and express their goodwill.
Naturally, the news also reached the ears of the higher-ups in the alliance. Therefore, on this day, after reaching a consensus with the Seven Blood Pupils, the representatives of the alliance expressed their displeasure to the representative of the Seven Blood Pupils, Lord Seven.
"It's fine if the disciples of the other peaks of the Seven Blood Pupils challenge the Seven Sects. Just treat it as an exchange of pointers.
"
"But Xu Qing has six flames, and he still wants to challenge them? Isn't that bullying? Before, we weren't in an alliance, but now we're family!
"
"You haven't challenged them yet, have you?"
Lord Seven said with a smile.
"That's the worst thing. Old Seven, your disciples are actually fishing!
Your boss even spread the news that whoever gives the least amount will have their name written on the list for the battle to the death.
"
"That's too much. Their table manners are too ugly. Who did they learn this from?!
"
Lord Seven coughed dryly.
"It's a bit ugly, but they're just kids playing around. Why are you taking it so seriously? By the way, I still have a question about our sect's authority over the formation. Come, come, let's discuss it in detail."
"
The representative of the alliance was speechless. What kind of people are they? He couldn't help but worry about the future of the Eight Sect Alliance.
He really felt that the Seven Blood Pupils were too gangster-like.
"It wasn't like this a few years ago …" The representative of the alliance sighed. He wanted to ignore them, but Lord Seven pulled him to a serious discussion with a smile.
Just like that, two days passed. The discussion between the Seven Blood Pupils and the alliance was completed. The alliance was officially announced to the entire Ying Huang Continent. The various forces in the Ying Huang Continent who were paying attention to this matter began to reevaluate the Eight Sect Alliance.
At the same time, the Seven Blood Pupils in the Southern Phoenix Continent also received orders from their ancestor to start moving. According to the plan, the relocation would be completed within a month.
In addition, the alliance also needed to construct a teleportation formation to allow the Seven Blood Pupils to arrive more smoothly.
At the same time, the challenges from the other peaks were still ongoing. However, not many people were paying attention to them. Everyone was paying attention to Xu Qing, wanting to see who he would challenge in the end.
After all, there were still many disciples who sent out goodwill. While everyone was paying attention to the aftermath of this matter, Lord Seven found a day and sternly reprimanded his three disciples in front of many people.
He said that as a member of the alliance, they were not allowed to challenge each other to the death. He even said that Xu Qing was not suitable to bully the members of the alliance.
Xu Qing and the other two disciples were ashamed, as though they were awakened by their master's reprimand. They all said that they knew it was inappropriate and canceled the challenge …
As a result, this matter came to a perfect end.
