out of time

Chapter 108 The Little Mute

The main city of Seven Blood Pupils.

In the offshore area, the winter wind is soft and blows on every corner of the street.

Different from Hongyuan's severe cold, this soft and wet feeling is difficult to detect at first, until it seeps into the bones and gradually becomes cold from the inside to the outside.

And at that time, it was too late to resist.

Just like the disciples at the foot of Qixuetong Mountain, the ferocity hidden under the smiling face is like a needle hidden in the cotton.

This is especially true for the seventh peak.

The disciples of the Seventh Peak seem to have some talents in this area. They are good at hiding, and they don't need to have those vain dignity. Their interests come first, which Xu Qing feels very deeply.

Even though he has now been integrated into the main city environment of Seven Blood Eyes, and with the improvement of his cultivation base, he has gained a firm foothold in Seven Blood Eyes by relying on ruthless methods, and the dangers he encounters have been reduced. gained fame.

But his prudence and vigilance have never diminished in the slightest.

Because Xu Qing knows very well that among the Qi Condensation disciples on the Seventh Peak, the low-level monks can still be traced to each other, while the high-level monks here, especially after reaching the ninth or tenth level of Qi Condensation, most of them are deeply scheming .

They are good at disguising, and they are even better at forbearance, like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, once they are spotted by them, many times when they die, they cannot find a real enemy.

In fact, it's not just these people. Those monks who struggled from the main city and broke through to the foundation all the way, they will be better at this.

His Highness Ru San...

At this moment, Xu Qing was walking in the main city of Qixuetong, his expression seemed calm, but his heart was full of vigilance, and his appearance did not return to his original appearance.

He has been walking in the main city for most of the day, and most of the places he went to were crowded. He kept paying attention to his surroundings and listening to everything.

He was looking for some possible clues to verify whether the matter between the Third Highness and the mermaids was really calm, and he was very patient in this observation, from day to night.

When night fell, Xu Qing did not return to his original identity, and even this time he returned with an anonymous jade slip instead of using his own token.

Qixuetong's anonymous jade slips have formed an industrial chain, and there are many people who need them. They have become the first choice for wanted criminals and those who are inconvenient to reveal their identities.

It's just that the price is extremely expensive, but the corresponding benefits are great, the most attractive of which is concealment.

Qixuetong opened his eyes and closed his eyes. Although he occasionally screened, but most of the time he ignored it. Of course, the premise is that you don't touch Qixuetong's rules and bottom line.

Xu Qing had killed too many wanted criminals, and he also had some jade slips like this on him, so he found an open inn at night and stayed in it.

In this way, time passed, and soon three days passed.

In the past three days, Xu Qing checked many times, learned from various ways, and even spent some spiritual coins to buy some information about Qi Xuetong, but he didn't see any clues in it.

It seems that there is no follow-up to the matter of the Mermaid Clan, and the Third Highness really did not pursue it.

At the same time, during this period of time, the disciples of Seven Blood Pupils discussed the most about the big competition on the seventh peak.

Xu Qing heard about this matter many times during these three days, and most of the information he bought was about Dabi.

It seems that the attention of all the disciples in the seven blood pupils are focused on this at the moment.

After Xu Qing thought about this, a deep meaning appeared in his eyes.

The competition of the seventh peak of the Seven Blood Pupils is held once every 30 years. It is very special. Often the battlefield is chosen somewhere in the outside world, and the process is extremely bloody and cruel.

For example, 30 years ago, the Mermaid island was chosen.

After a repressive competition there, the Mermaids became allies of the Terrans.

And this time the target has also been set. It is a small alien race on the Xishan Islands. This alien race is called the Lingbei tribe.

Relying on a number of larger alien races behind them, while providing them with resources in exchange for shelter, they are also active in the Forbidden Sea.

It poses a great threat to the merchant ships, especially the merchant ships of the seven blood pupils, which have been robbed by them recently.

This incident aroused Qi Xuetong's fury, so even if the other party returned it soon, it coincided with the seventh peak competition, so this time the location of the competition was arranged on Lingbei Island.

This matter has aroused great attention in Qixuetong, especially the disciples of the seventh peak are working hard. All those who are qualified to participate are preparing, and the price of cultivation resources in the port has increased by about [-]% in a short time .

Moreover, the qualifications and rules for participation are also issued by the Zongmen,

There are a total of 400 divisions in the Seventh Peak, and each division will select about 5000 people to form a monk team of more than [-] people as candidates for this competition.

For these thirteen divisions, it is not easy to select 400 people, not because of the number of people.

In fact, each division has a large number of disciples, with thousands of large divisions and nearly a thousand small divisions.

What makes it more difficult is that there are too many people who want to participate.

The rewards of Dabi are really generous. The rule is that every time you kill a Lingbei monk, you will get [-] contribution points, and this is just the foundation. The higher the cultivation level of killing the enemy, the more rewards you will get.

The identity token will be automatically recorded, and will be issued uniformly after the competition is over. Such a wealth is enough to make too many disciples who are struggling with cultivation resources jealous.

And the most breath-taking and even crazy thing is the reward for the person who ranks first in this competition.

Core disciple status!

For countless disciples at the foot of Seventh Peak, the core disciples who can wear lavender Taoist robes are all as high as the sons of gods, and their status is extremely noble.

As the captain said back then, the sect wouldn't care if a hundred disciples died at the foot of the mountain, but the death of one core disciple would be a big deal.

So the madness of the disciples of each division can be understood.

But Xu Qing has no desire to be a core disciple.

If he had just come to Qixuetong, the status of a core disciple would have been tempting to him, but now that his cultivation has reached the Great Concentration of Qi Condensation, for Xu Qing, breaking through as soon as possible to become a foundation is his first priority.

In addition, Xu Qing felt that this matter was not so simple. The choice of the Lingbei tribe as the venue for the big competition seemed to confuse the outside world. Thinking about his own analysis before, Xu Qing felt that the real battlefield might be the mermaid tribe.

With this in mind, Xu Qing carefully observed for several days while the other disciples were striving for qualifications and preparations.

After confirming that there was indeed no follow-up about the mermaid clan in the sect, and the same was true with the Third Highness, Xu Qing simply changed back to his identity, and after a few more days of vigilance, his heart settled down.

Unless it was a last resort, Xu Qing didn't want to escape from Qixuetong at this time, because he was not far from the establishment of the foundation, and he wanted to get the five thousand spirit stones every month after becoming the foundation.

Now that everything is as usual, Xu Qing returned to his usual life with vigilance, and after a few days, he received a notice from the captain.

Regarding the second reward for Yejiu's action, it came down.

He was appointed as the deputy captain of the sixth team of the Xuan Department of the Murder Hunting Department.

The salary also increased, from the previous [-] contribution points per month to [-].

"Xu Qing, you have to thank me for this matter. If I hadn't fought for you with all my strength, how could you have been promoted this day." In the crime arresting department, the captain sat aside, eating an apple, Looking at Xu Qing with a smile.

He looked up and down, obviously aware of the fluctuations in Xu Qing's cultivation base, but his smile remained the same, and the apple in his hand was delicious.

"Thank you Captain."

Xu Qing smiled when he heard this, since he came to Qixuetong, he has barely learned some control of his expression, but it is still a little unnatural.

"So don't forget the thousand spirit stones you owe me." The captain said happily.

Xu Qing's smile froze for a moment.

"It's one hundred, I've already paid it back to you!"

"Ah? Have you paid it back? Oh, my memory is too bad. Now that I think about it, you paid me back one hundred, okay, okay, you still owe me nine hundred."

The captain patted his forehead and sighed. Seeing that Xu Qing's complexion seemed unnatural, and even instinctively placed his right hand beside the leather bag by his side, he blinked.

"Xu Qing, will you go to this competition?"

Xu Qing didn't speak.

"Xu Qing, let me tell you quietly, based on my understanding of the sect's habits, this time's big competition... there is a high probability that it is not the Lingbei tribe!"

The captain looked a little excited, squatted on the chair, took out two oranges, threw one to Xu Qing, and opened his mouth while peeling.

Xu Qing took the orange and looked at the captain.

"I guess it should be a much larger island of aliens, and this alien must be very fat, that's why the sect releases smoke to confuse the outside world. I recently observed several well-known vicious people in other divisions, and found that they all signed up secretly! "

The more the captain talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes began to light up.

"These shady people have actually saved enough to buy the spirit stones of the Foundation Establishment Pill recently, and they can break through at any time, but they have suppressed their cultivation and failed to break through. Obviously they are all waiting for this opportunity. They are all dog-nosed , The sense of smell is extremely keen, if you think that if they give up the foundation building benefits after the breakthrough in the past few months, then the picture will naturally be bigger, so this time the big competition should be an excellent opportunity to snatch cultivation resources."

"You must know that in the big competition 30 years ago, many people made a lot of money because of it, a lot of money, I heard that the lady of the Second Highness rose like this last time, and the wealth that was searched is said to be jealous of some elders. It was the Foundation Establishment Pill, and she snatched eight of them!!"

"In addition, there are many people in the sect who have reached their cultivation base but don't have enough spirit stones. Recently, their eyes seem to be red, and they are all staring at this big competition to accumulate spirit stones."

"Such a chance to make a fortune, why don't you go?" The captain looked at Xu Qing with a smile on his face.

Xu Qing still didn't say anything after hearing the words. Regarding the location of the big competition, his judgment was consistent with that of the captain, and he guessed where the final battlefield would be with a high probability in his heart.

"So this time, you must go and make a fortune. It's enough to do a lot of foundation building."

"There is also a newcomer in the team, I call you to have a look." The captain said, took out the token to transmit the sound, and after a while, there was a slight noise outside the room where the captain and Xu Qing were. footsteps.

Soon the door was opened, revealing the figure of a young man standing outside the door.

The young man's hair was a little disheveled, and his small face was a little dirty. Although he was wearing a gray Taoist robe, it was bulging, and he was wearing a black dog fur jacket under the Taoist robe.

The most noticeable thing is the boy's eyes, his eyes are sharp and ferocious, as if standing there is not a person, but a ferocious little wolf dog.

The evil spirit on his body was extremely strong, as if it could burst out and devour the enemy at any time. At this moment, as the door opened, he saw the captain and Xu Qing in the room, grinning, with... no tongue in his mouth.

He is dumb.

However, as Xu Qing's eyes fell, the dumb boy's smile suddenly stopped, his eyes widened suddenly, looking at the shadow under Xu Qing's seat, his expression changed drastically, as if he saw something that made him terrified to the extreme. exist.

His body trembled violently, and his breathing was incomparable. According to this, like a mortal meeting a god, his body trembled uncontrollably.

This scene made the room instantly... dead silent!
