336 w.a.n.ggu Chessboard (2)

Zhou Qifan let out a cold snort and lifted his chin. Under the silent gazes of the surrounding disciples, he quickly followed Xu Qing out of the entrance of the Great Expansion Dao Palace.

He walked all the way to the prison of the Homicide Department with a stubborn expression.

It was only when he saw that the environment of the cell he was a.s.signed to was clearly better than the cell where the dying Sima Ling was in that he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Otherwise, I would have really suffered a huge setback this time.”

After that, he saw the even more miserable Huang Yikun and Saintly Star’s junior brother. This scene shocked him. Although he guessed that Huang Yikun’s disappearance was related to Xu Qing, seeing the other party’s miserable state with his own eyes, he deeply felt that his preparations this time were extremely correct.

At the same time, he also noticed that the sealing rings on his body were 18, while Sima Ling and Huang Yikun had 20.

“Looks like Xu Qing is a reasonable person.”

Zhou Qifan sighed and was even more satisfied with his plan. This time, in order to resolve this matter, it could be said that he had used all his methods, both openly and secretly, to save his face.

He was different from Sima Ling. He came voluntarily and cooperated with the investigation. He didn’t lose much face. The sect was the one that lost and this had nothing to do with him personally.

Moreover, the environment here was not bad, especially when he noticed that Sima Ling and Huang Yikun had woken up and were looking at the cell he was in with a complicated gaze. Their indescribable gazes made Zhou Qifan feel a little proud.

With Zhou Qifan’s capture, the challenges had completely disappeared and no one went to carry it out. The Seven Blood Eyes’ celebration banquet still continued.

As for Xu Qing, after completely dealing with Night Dove’s matter, he prepared to leave the sect for a trip.

The place he was going to was the Phoenix Forbidden.

He had bought almost all the poisonous gra.s.s and poisons he could buy in the sect. After the sixteenth batch of black bugs, he encountered a bottleneck.

His plan to refine the Poison Restriction Pill was affected.

He couldn’t continue.

After Xu Qing studied it, he felt that it should be because the level of the poisonous gra.s.s wasn’t high enough. He needed an even more sinister and violent poison to allow the little black bugs to break through this bottleneck.

Xu Qing felt that the most suitable place for poisonous gra.s.ses in the surroundings was the Phoenix Forbidden.

Moreover, the ruins that the captain mentioned contained the inheritance of Extreme Heaven Saber were also in the Phoenix Forbidden. Xu Qing planned to go take a look.

With this plan in mind, Xu Qing began to gather and purchase information about the Phoenix Forbidden for the next few days.

This forbidden region was located near the sect and was also the area where the First Peak trained themselves. As such, the force that understood the Phoenix Forbidden the most in the entire Nanhuang Continent was the Seven Blood Eyes’ First Peak.

There was naturally a lot of information.

However, Xu Qing didn’t trust the people from the First Peak, so he would rather spend more money to buy information from various sources and compare them himself. At the same time, he also went to the Intelligence Department to do research.

In the end, after going through a hundred or so doc.u.ments, he summarized the information comprehensively.

This included a few places he had chosen that contained poison and some territories of bizarre ent.i.ties that could provide him with poison.

Some of the details were also completely understood by Xu Qing after many comparisons.

He then began to openly and secretly prepare some items to head to the Phoenix Forbidden. He also got someone to take out a drop of heart blood from the imprisoned Night Doves.

Thousands of Night Dove cultivators were imprisoned and their heart blood filled 11 bottles. After Xu Qing checked them, he kept them in his storage bag.

These heart blood could be used as currency to trade for items in a bizarre ent.i.ty place in the Phoenix Forbidden.

While Xu Qing was preparing, the visits from outsiders continued.

Every day, different forces would arrive. As the Seven Blood Eyes became more and more lively, a large faction that caused another heated discussion among the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples arrived.

The Litu Dao Altar, one of the six major forces in the Yinghuang Province!

The Nanhuang’s Litu Sect was actually a branch of the Litu Dao Altar. Hence, the arrival of the people from the Dao Altar caused the Nanhuang’s Litu Sect to attach great importance to it.

This time, five people from the Litu Dao Altar came.

Xu Qing didn’t see them personally but learned about them through the reports. These five people were G.o.dchildren of the Litu Dao Altar which were on par with the Sequence highnesses.

When he was checking the report on the five G.o.dchildren of the Litu Dao Altar, Xu Qing’s hand that was holding the report suddenly paused.

A strange expression appeared on his face, as he thought back to something.

“Her brother?”

Among the five G.o.dchildren of the Litu Dao Altar, Xu Qing had seen one of them before at the scavenger campsite.

It was the older brother of the little girl with the scar on her face.

“I wonder how she is now.”

A little girl with a dirty face appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. She stood in the wind and snow and smiled at him. As the snowflakes fell, she gave him a piece of candy.

“Brother Kid, every time I’m unhappy, my mother will give me candy, and I’ll be happy as I eat it.”

“This is my last piece of candy. I will give it to you.”

“Brother Kid, you have to be happy!”

Xu Qing fell silent. He thought of Grandmaster Bai’s words.

“As long as we don’t die, we will meet again.”

Several days later, when all the preparations for the Phoenix Forbidden were completed, Xu Qing left Port 176 late at night. He pa.s.sed through the First Peak’s path and sped through the night, heading straight for the Phoenix Forbidden.

At the same time that Xu Qing left, in the pavilion of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes, as the moonlight scattered, an old man with a wrinkled face wearing a black Daoist robe and wisps of flowing light flickering in his eyes was playing chess with Old Master Seventh.

This old man was none other than the Seven Blood Eyes’ ancestor, Xue Lianzi. The flowing light in his eyes was a manifestation of the great realm he was in. This was the first stage of the Nihility Realm, called the Shattering Thousand Dao.

Every stream of light in his eyes was a Great Dao.

Other than the two of them, there was also a middle-aged woman at the side. This woman wore a palace dress and looked extraordinary. She expressionlessly poured tea for the two of them.

If Xu Qing was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this middle-aged woman was Ding Xue’s aunt.

The ancestor, Xue Lianzi, picked up his teacup and took a sip. He looked at Old Master Seventh, who was staring at the chessboard and thinking about his next move, and smiled.

“Old Seventh, what do you think the Seven Sects Alliance’s next move is in this chess game? They have made such a big scene and are publicizing that they are trying to punish the Seven Blood Eyes. Since they are doing this, where is their true target?” Xue Lianzi said calmly with a spurious smile.

“I know that the ancestor is testing me, but I’m stupid. I don’t know.” Old Master Seventh pretended to be at a loss.

“You still like to hide.” Xue Lianzi shook his head and smiled.

Old Master Seventh also revealed a smile. He seemed to have thought about his next move, so he picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

“Even if seven lower pieces are eaten, it won’t mean much. However, if even one upper piece is eaten, won’t everything come alive? For instance, the Seven Sects Alliance is heading south in a majestic manner with an imposing aura, but in reality, their goal is definitely the north.”

“The Seven Sects Alliance has been coveting the Immortal Enrichment River in the north for a long time. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect obstructed the development of the alliance in every way, the alliance definitely wouldn’t be in their current state, so we will probably see a result very soon.”

“It’s also convenient for us to do things if the Grand Affairs is enraged,” Old Master Seventh said softly.
