280 Two Phoenixes Drama

The so-called Image Disciple was the person who represented the Seven Blood Eyes.

This way, all the nonhumans who visited the Seven Blood Eyes could see Xu Qing and the captain. Every time they saw them, they would remember the humiliation of the Sea Corpse Race.

In the following period, with the arrival of a large number of nonhumans, Xu Qing and the captain had no choice but to get busy.

At the moment, Xu Qing was standing at Port 176, silently waiting for the incoming nonhumans at dusk.

Under the setting sun, his devilishly handsome face was enough to mesmerize all living beings. As the sea breeze blew over, the fine hair on his forehead fluttered like a black curtain, hiding coldness and impatience.

This was already the seventh batch of nonhumans Xu Qing had welcomed in this half a month since he received the ancestor’s appointment.

However, Xu Qing still couldn’t get used to it. He felt a sense of rejection toward this mission.

He didn’t like to be ostentatious and it made him feel uneasy. However, Xu Qing also understood that the empty name of Image Disciple was also a form of protection for him.

This empty name would dispel most of the malice that was stirring. After all… he represented the Seven Blood Eyes.

However, because of this, danger would either not appear or would definitely be extremely dangerous.

There was also the term ‘Sequence’. Xu Qing had heard that it was similar and yet different from the Seven Blood Eyes’ Sequence. Before this, only the direct disciples of the seven peak lords could be included in the Sequence.

Once one entered the Sequence, it was equivalent to having a special ident.i.ty. The future peak lord candidates would all be fought for from the Sequence.

Their treatment was different from ordinary disciples. Xu Qing could be said to be the only person who entered the Sequence before becoming a peak lord’s disciple.

“Chen Erniu’s Sequence is upgraded… The captain should be Eldest Senior Brother.” Xu Qing was already certain of this now. However, he vaguely felt that there should be an even greater secret behind the captain.

With this thought in mind, although Xu Qing was unwilling, it was difficult for him to directly reject the ancestor’s appointment.

“Why aren’t they here yet?” The long hair that was blown by the sea breeze swept past Xu Qing’s eyelashes, interrupting his thoughts. He looked at the sea with even more impatience.

“Senior Brother Xu, I heard that everyone in the Starfish Race has a strange starfish growing on their backs. They usually don’t like sunlight, so they might only arrive in the evening.”

Xu Qing wasn’t here alone. There were more than 20 disciples behind him. This was arranged by the captain. The captain was much more enthusiastic about this appointment from the ancestor than him.

Many disciples of the sect were called over by the captain to join. At the same time, Xu Qing seemed to have become the captain’s trump card. If the guests were mainly female, the captain would usually call Xu Qing over immediately.

Every time Xu Qing appeared, it indeed stunned those nonhuman female cultivators who came to see the Ancestral Corpse’s nose. They would all be very curious about him.

Xu Qing wanted to refuse at first but when he thought about how he could come out much fewer times this way, he tacitly agreed to this arrangement.

However, the captain seemed to be worried that Xu Qing would be lonely. Hence, he even thoughtfully arranged for two familiar fellow disciples to be his a.s.sistants.

One of them was Gu Muqing.

Gu Muqing spoke softly. Her face was delicate and pretty, like a lotus in a cup. Her peerless beauty was stifling.

At that moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The slight innocence in her face was extremely captivating, and her orange Daoist robe accentuated her tall figure, making her look more dazzling.

“Senior Brother Xu, the Starfish Race is being a little excessive. However, it’s fine. I’ve just obtained the recognition of the Seven Sects Alliance. When the war ends, I can go over and learn the Dao of plants and vegetation. When I get there, I’ll have the right to make this Starfish Race apologize to Senior Brother!

“Also, Senior Brother, these are my learning insights during this time. Please help me check them.”

Seeing Gu Muqing like this, Ding Xue took a step forward and spoke to Xu Qing as well. She also took out a bundle of spirit tickets and a jade slip.

She smiled sweetly, her arms were fairer than snow, and her black hair was dense like the clouds. Her rosy little mouth under her tall nose was slightly open, like a coquettish rose.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears, revealing innocence. However, her eyes were glistening and seemed to be able to make one completely immerse themselves in them with just a glance.

Ding Xue was the second a.s.sistant the captain had arranged for Xu Qing.

These two women stood beside Xu Qing. They were like plum blossoms and bamboo1; each had its own advantages.

Behind the three of them, among the 30-odd Seven Blood Eyes disciples, there was Zhao Zhongheng.

He had to take countless deep breaths in the past half a month to maintain his smile. As for the other disciples in the surroundings, all of them looked at Xu Qing like he was a G.o.d.

In the past half a month, Gu Muqing and Ding Xue looked to be harmonious, but in reality, the conflicts between them were becoming more and more obvious.

For example, at this moment, Gu Muqing glanced at Ding Xue.

Ding Xue wasn’t to be outdone. After sweeping her gaze over, she raised her beautiful brows and put on an aggrieved expression.

“Senior Sister Gu, even if the Starfish Race has another reason, that’s their business. It’s fine if they want me to wait, but I feel uncomfortable to see them making Brother Xu Qing wait. Don’t you think so? Brother Xu Qing cultivates so hard and now has to wait for them. They’re too much.”

Gu Muqing’s chest heaved. She, who had always had an elegant personality, almost lost control several times in the past half a month. She wasn’t good with words. Every time she listened to Ding Xue, she felt that this Ding Xue was a b*tch and felt disgusted.

“Ding Xue, you always call me Senior Sister. I’m 17 years old this year. May I ask how old you are?”

Ding Xue’s eyes turned slightly red as she lowered her head and spoke softly.

“Senior Sister Gu, Xue’er was wrong. I… I’m not good with words. If I said something that offended Senior Sister Gu, please don’t take it to heart. I just feel sorry for Brother Xu Qing.”

The veins on Gu Muqing’s forehead bulged and her breathing became slightly hurried.

The Seven Blood Eyes disciples behind them all looked at Ding Xue’s back meaningfully. They exchanged glances and could see admiration for Ding Xue in each other’s eyes.

As usual, it was a complete victory.

Xu Qing looked at Ding Xue curiously and then at Gu Muqing but didn’t bother with them. During this period, he had been sensing that these two fellow disciples were very strange and didn’t seem to get along.

Just as he was about to speak, a rumbling sound rang out from the distant sea. Xu Qing immediately looked over and saw that under the setting sun, the surface of the sea had turned from calm to turbulent.

As waves of rumbling waves echoed, a huge black pentagonal wars.h.i.+p rose from the sea ten thousand feet away. There were a total of seven black pentagonal wars.h.i.+ps moving in a row.

An astonis.h.i.+ng pressure spread out in all directions. At the same time, the seven huge eyes of the Seven Blood Eyes also emitted a red light, as though they were examining the s.h.i.+ps.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. This was because not only was there an array formation in the Seven Blood Eyes that suppressed everything, but half a month ago, the Peak Lord of the Sixth Peak was arranged to return to the sect to recuperate.

With the Sixth Peak’s Peak Lord holding down the fort, Xu Qing felt much more at ease.

As the seven black pentagon wars.h.i.+ps got closer, Xu Qing saw a large number of cultivators on them. There were about 30 on each s.h.i.+p.

The Starfish Race was a humanoid race. The members of the race looked similar to the humans on the surface, but their hair and eyes were blue.

Most of them were women.

The female cultivators accounted for 70% of the 200-odd Starfish Race members visiting right now. The energy fluctuations from the three people at the front were all very terrifying. In Xu Qing’s perception, their aura felt as strong as the Golden Core cultivator with three heads and six arms from the Sea Corpse Race.

These three people all looked like middle-aged women. In front of them was a blue-haired girl. This girl had a beautiful appearance with abnormally fair skin and looked to be 16 or 17 years old. She wore a long dress and her gaze was clear.

Her gaze swept across the sh.o.r.e and moved away from Gu Muqing and Ding Xue, landing on Xu Qing.

“Welcome to the Seven Blood Eyes, allies from the Starfish Race.” Xu Qing cupped his fists and spoke in a low voice.

“You’re Xu Qing?” The young girl’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. After he nodded, he calmly spoke.

“It’s already late today. Tomorrow, someone will bring you guys to take a look at the nose piece of the Ancestral Corpse.” After saying that, Xu Qing instructed the disciples behind him.

“Bring them to their place of stay.”

“Wait a moment, Senior Brother Xu Qing. My Starfish Race hates the Sea Corpse Race deeply. I admire what you did, so I want to give you a gift. Please accept it.”

The young girl smiled and turned her head to look at the servant behind her. Very soon, the servant took out a conch and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the young girl.

“Senior Brother Xu Qing, this is a magic artifact unique to my race. After blowing it, you can obtain the blessing of my race and summon all the mollusks in the nearby Forbidden Sea.” After the young girl finished speaking, she bowed lightly and followed the clansmen ash.o.r.e while glancing at Xu Qing many times.

This scene caused Ding Xue to frown and feel a little dissatisfied. Gu Muqing also felt uncomfortable.

After everyone from the Starfish Race went ash.o.r.e. The young girl seemed to have thought of something and walked toward Xu Qing. Ding Xue’s brows rose and she was about to speak.

However, at this moment, the sound of air breaking suddenly rang out from afar. This sudden scene made the Starfish Race instantly vigilant. The eyes of the three middle-aged women flashed with sharpness.

Xu Qing also looked over. The first thing he saw was the captain and the second highness behind the captain.

The captain’s speed was extremely fast and he arrived beside Xu Qing in an instant. Without even greeting the Starfish Race, he spoke in a low voice.

“The ancestor has sent a message that Dongyou Island is here to visit!”

“Dongyou Island?” Xu Qing was stunned. However, as the captain said these three words, Ding Xue’s expression changed. The expressions of the three Golden Core cultivators from the Starfish Race also changed drastically.

“The Island Lord of Dongyou Island is an old woman named Esteemed Master Dongyou. Her cultivation is in the same realm as the ancestor who broke through… The person who came naturally isn’t her but her granddaughter. This person’s personality isn’t good… You have to be careful.”

The captain’s expression was solemn. Just as he finished speaking, a shocking wave suddenly rose in the distant sea!

A powerful pressure descended in all directions.
