The matter of the Eight Sect Alliance was resolved smoothly.
In the courtyard of the encampment, the sub-sect held a welcoming banquet for Xu Qing and the others.
During this time, the captain was extremely proud. He toasted with the others and was quite familiar with the sword bearers.
Most of these people had also heard about the Ten Feet of Brilliance among the sword bearers from the Emperor State.
From the captain's performance today, they could guess who it was. However, they were all worldly. Since they were given spirit stones and Chen Tinghao was enthusiastic about introducing them, they naturally would not expose him. They got along well with each other.
Zixuan did not participate in the banquet. Instead, she sent some pills to Xu Qing.
Every single one of these pills was something that she carried with her, and they were extremely precious.
Although Xu Qing did not say anything when he received the pills, his heart was still in turmoil.
However, he was not good with words and did not know what to say. He could only thank her through voice transmission.
"Little friend, when did you become so polite?"
In the voice transmission jade slip, Zixuan's voice was a little tempting. When it entered his mind, it was like scratching an itch.
"I'm in room A1. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can secretly come to me."
The last sentence in the jade slip made Xu Qing's heart skip a beat. He silently put the jade slip away and calmed his mind.
Although his injuries were serious, he recovered quickly. After all, he was the one who asked the shadow to do it. He knew what he was doing.
Compared to the many life and death crises in the past, his current injuries were only minor.
Therefore, he naturally participated in the banquet. Seeing the captain toasting, Xu Qing asked Chen Tinghao, who was beside him, about Yao Yunhui.
"The human race used to have hereditary titles. However, after the current Emperor ascended the throne, the hereditary title was abolished. Therefore, the current master of the Dao Mansion is not a Heavenly Lord.
"However, after all, her ancestor has contributed to the human race. Therefore, both the County Governor and the Palace Lord will address the master of the Yao family as the Marquis. This Marquis has three sons, two boys and one girl. Yao Yunhui is the Marquis' youngest daughter.
"Yao Yunhui used to be an influential figure in the county capital. Back then, she married into the Taisi Celestial Sect of the Ying Emperor State, which caused a lot of discussion. In the eyes of the Dao Mansion, the difference in status between the two parties was too great. Later on, it was said that her Dao partner died early, leaving behind a son in the Taisi Celestial Sect. She herself returned to the Yao Mansion long ago.
"This man has a wide network of connections in the county capital. He has an extraordinary background and is extremely beautiful. I heard that he has some connections with Deacon Sima from the Taisi Immortal School in the Sword Holding Palace. He is also the head of the third department of the Palace of Law."
Chen Tinghao explained to Xu Qing in a sincere and heartfelt manner.
"However, our Sword Holding Palace isn't afraid of the Disciplinary Palace. Warden Sima isn't the kind of person who likes to play favoritism, so you don't have to worry. Also … actually, everyone doesn't like the Yao Manor."
Chen Tinghao was just about to pick up his wine cup when his beloved glanced at him, causing him to feel a bit awkward. He wanted to drink, but didn't dare to. Therefore, he cleared his throat and continued to speak to Xu Qing.
"Our Sword Holding Palace does not share the same ideals as the Yao Manor."
"Our Sword Holding Palace advocates to intimidate the two foreign races and the Holy Wave Tribe in the county. We don't hesitate to go to war. The Palace Master has repeatedly proposed to purge Fenghai County and suppress the Holy Devil Tribe and the Immortal Tribe.
"However, the Yao Family strongly opposes it. They believe that fighting and killing won't solve the problem. They advocate to integrate with the foreign races on a deeper level. Therefore, in the entire county, the Yao Family has the most contact with the Holy Devil Tribe and the Immortal Tribe. They even intermarry. They have also visited the Holy Wave Tribe many times, but each time they act like slaves."
Chen Tinghao's expression was full of disdain.
"I really don't know if their Heavenly Lord will climb out of his coffin and slap these spineless descendants to death."
Speaking of this, Chen Tinghao couldn't help but pick up the wine pot and take a big gulp.
When his beloved saw this, she shook her head helplessly. However, the gentleness in her eyes was clearly visible.
The banquet didn't last long. It ended when the moon hung high in the sky. Xu Qing and the captain sent them out of the sub-sect and walked into the courtyard.
The moonlight was bright and scattered under their feet. A gentle breeze blew, lifting Xu Qing and the captain's hair. It also dispersed the smell of alcohol from their bodies.
"Little Ah Qing, we've finally arrived at the county capital!" The captain was obviously full of joy. He smiled and took out an apple and took a big bite.
Xu Qing looked up at the sky and the withered statue of Ancient Emperor Xuan You. He nodded.
"Do you still remember what I said to you? In this life, we'll travel together!"
"The county capital isn't our final destination. It's just our Magic Point Pavilion."
"Next, we have to establish a firm foothold in the Sword Holding Palace. Then, Little Junior Brother, after I familiarize myself with this place, I'll take you to continue doing big things!"
"We have to stir up the storm in Fenghai County. We have to change the name of the Holy Wave County because of our arrival!" The captain had a rare heroic spirit. He ate the apple in one bite and took out an orange.
Xu Qing instinctively became alert and looked at the captain who was different from usual.
"We have to let everyone know that together, our brilliance surpasses ten thousand feet!"
"We have to let everyone know that we're good brothers. Good brothers who are willing to sacrifice themselves for each other!" The captain said as he secretly sized up Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded without batting an eyelid.
"Therefore, the report half a month later is especially important. This is related to the choice of appointment. Different departments have different military merits and different responsibilities. Whether we can change the Holy Wave County in the future and let the human race rise will depend on our starting point."
The captain continued. His words were very exaggerated, as if this appointment would determine the fate of the human race.
"And then?"
Xu Qing asked calmly. He had heard from Chen Tinghao that the new swordsmen would report half a month later.
"Then, we have to operate. Little Junior Brother, this costs money. Moreover, when we do big things in the future, we have to buy information and spend money. So … the compensation from the old witch, cough, we'll split it half. How about that?"
"That's it?
Xu Qing was surprised. He thought it would be something big. "
"No problem."
Seeing that Xu Qing agreed so readily as if it was a small matter, the captain immediately became vigilant.
He felt that Xu Qing seemed to be more scheming than him. This alerted him and he secretly told himself that he had to be more careful.
Therefore, he waved his hand.
"Little Junior Brother, you owe me eight million spirit stones. I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Xu Qing ignored him and walked towards his residence.
The captain laughed happily and bade farewell to Xu Qing before returning to his residence. He had specially chosen the place where he lived. It was covered by fake mountains and trees so that the sun couldn't shine through.
The captain felt that a place where the sun couldn't be seen was more suitable for his identity as a swordsmen.
Xu Qing didn't care about this. After returning, he instinctively arranged the surroundings before walking in. He sat down cross-legged and recalled the events of the past few days in the prefecture capital.
Then, he took out a bamboo scroll and engraved Yao Yunhui's name on it, listing it together with Zhang Siyun.
Yao Yunhui's matter was just a small interlude in the prefecture capital.
After engraving, Xu Qing was thinking of finding a chance to quietly kill the mother and son.
"There's also Red Maiden and Ning Yan." Xu Qing glanced at the bamboo scroll and frowned.
"There are a lot of names that haven't been crossed off."
Looking at so many names that hadn't been crossed off, Xu Qing felt a little uneasy. He looked up at the night outside and muttered to himself.
"I have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and get rid of them one by one as soon as possible."
Xu Qing closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Time passed. Four days later, the Law Palace sent over the spirit stones, elixirs, three magic treasure fragments, and array formation artifacts. This marked the end of this matter.
Xu Qing didn't take them all. Whether it was the captain or the disciple who went to the Law Palace to pick him up that day, they were all distributed.
In the end, he even gave some to the five peak masters and Supreme Immortal Zixuan.
He put away the rest.
However, Xu Qing didn't distribute the Heavenly Palace Elixirs. He kept them for himself.
The elixirs were quite powerful. After eating three of them, the fourth Heavenly Palace in his body finally took shape.
As the rumbling sound echoed in his body, Xu Qing looked at the shining fourth Heavenly Palace in his sea of consciousness. Anticipation rose in his heart, but at the same time, he muttered to himself.
"Is it the Natal Sea Dragon or … the purple moon?" Xu Qing didn't think for too long. His eyes were filled with determination.
"The Natal Sea Dragon. I'll give it up a little more."
Thinking of this, Xu Qing immediately guided the purple moon in his sea of consciousness with all his strength. He let it slowly integrate into the fourth Heavenly Palace and finally sat in the depths of the Heavenly Palace.
The next moment, an incomparably close connection emerged in his mind.
Before this, he had control over the purple moon. However, the other party was too vast. It was difficult for him to mobilize it, like a child pushing a carriage.
But now, with the help of the connection of the fourth Heavenly Palace, this kind of control became easier than before.
Xu Qing didn't try it immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and nurtured it. It wasn't until ten days later that his fourth Heavenly Palace was completely stabilized that he opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, a strong purple light bloomed from his eyes, causing everything around him to be submerged in a purple sea.
At this moment, the fourth Heavenly Palace was also shining with a bright purple light.
Looking at the flickering purple moon inside, Xu Qing had a feeling that if he stimulated it with all his strength, his whole body would be filled with a divine aura that belonged to him.
In other words, it was a foreign substance!
This foreign substance could invade and affect all cultivators.
If he added the support of the Pill of Forbidden Poison, this foreign substance with him as the source would be even more powerful and concentrated. The speed at which it invaded all things would become astonishing.
Xu Qing looked at his third and fourth Heavenly Palaces, then looked at the life-bound Azure Dragon that was constantly giving up its position, and muttered, "Now, I'm cultivating the Dao, or the God …"
"Now, with the help of an Emperor-level cultivation method, I already have the combat power of five palaces."
"After fusing with the shadow, I can unleash the pure physical power of six palaces!"
"If I add the forbidden poison and the purple moon, I can fight against seven palaces, and I should be able to win!"
Xu Qing's eyes shone brightly. His current combat power was already at the peak of ordinary Golden Core cultivators in the Heavenly Palace.
"No matter what I'm cultivating, the most important thing is to improve my combat power!"
Xu Qing murmured. After calculating the time, there was only one night left until the sword-bearers reported for duty.
Tomorrow morning was the day of duty.
"I wonder where my post will be after I report for duty?"
Xu Qing thought of Mount Zhaoxia and how Chen Tinghao told him that a lot of military merits were needed to go there.
"Military merits!"
Xu Qing's eyes shone with a sharp light. After a while, he closed his eyes to cover up the sharpness and silently waited for time to pass.
One night passed.
The next day, when the sun rose, Xu Qing stood up and calmly changed into the white Daoist robe of a sword-bearer and put on a cloak.
Standing in front of the door, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to push open the door.
The sunlight outside poured in and shuttled around Xu Qing, seemingly merging his figure into the light, especially the strands of hair that shuttled back and forth, turning it into a multicolored hue.
From afar, standing in the light, he seemed to be on fire.
The disciples passing by all looked sideways.
Supreme Immortal Zixuan stood on the second floor of his residence and looked at Xu Qing with a strange look in his eyes.
In another part of the courtyard of the sub-sect, not far from Xu Qing's residence, the captain opened the door in a residence that was covered by rockery and trees, blocking the sunlight from shining directly.
He stretched lazily and was just about to walk out when he saw Xu Qing in the light and was stunned.
"You can do this?"
The captain looked back at his house and then at Xu Qing's. He suddenly felt that his house was not worthy of his identity as a sword-bearer.
