Chapter 248 Looking at the Ancient Chess Game
"Xu Qing, this is my Dayan Dao Palace, like my Dayan Dao Sect's realm, what are you doing here!" The young man in the Yunxia Qingtian robe heard the words, his breathing became faster, his complexion became gloomy, and he lowered his head. drink.

In fact, since Yejiu was destroyed last night, Xu Qingtian beheaded Yejiu's three fire black robes and suppressed the disciples of Lingyun Sword Sect, he has already realized that something is wrong.

Because no matter how he looked at the person who had a deal with Yejiu, he seemed to be the only one left.

So when he was nervous, he immediately invited friends from Lingxia Valley and Tianjian Baozong to come here just in case.

At this moment, seeing Xu Qing coming and calling out his name, Zhou Qifan couldn't help feeling depressed this week.

Xu Qing looked at the person who was speaking in front of him. When he came, he read the file of the other party, so he usually kept a low profile and rarely went out except to challenge the fourth peak, so he didn't take many pictures.

After comparing at this moment, Xu Qing nodded.

"Under the order of Zongmen, arrest Zhou Qifan, the person who traded with Yejiu." As he spoke, Xu Qing took a step forward, the speed was so fast that he was approaching in an instant, he raised his right hand towards Zhou Qifan, and grabbed him directly.

A cold light flashed in Zhou Qifan's eyes, and there was a bang outside his body. The red glow on his robe burst out instantly, forming red lines directly in front of him, quickly forming a formation, and slammed towards Xu Qing who was coming, and at the same time He backed up abruptly, and a low growl came out of his mouth.

"Guardian Zhang, two fellow Taoists, please help me!"

Almost at the moment when he opened his mouth, Xu Qing's right hand touched the Hongxia formation, and a loud noise reverberated. The Golden Crow behind Xu Qing transformed into a sudden charge, and the formation immediately collapsed, and all Hongxia was captured by the Golden Crow. With one breath, it fell into the mouth.

The guardian behind Zhou Qifan showed hesitation at this moment, sighed and stepped out, but with Xu Qing waving his hand, the sect formation arrived, and his figure did not have any resistance, and quickly backed away with the help of the formation until he retreated a long way.

He didn't want to be driven out in such an unsightly manner like the guardians of Lieyimen, and he naturally saw that this was Qixuetong arresting people, and it was useless to stop him.

What's more, being expelled, he lost his own face, and Zhou Qifan's life could not be in danger if he was caught, he was just suppressed, so why should he try his best in vain.

So at this moment, with the help of the Zongmen's formation, he quickly retreated.

And the two arrogances of Lingxia Valley and Tianjian Baozong both took a look at Xu Qing at this moment, and then retreated without helping each other.

They have no obligation to help. The seven alliances are just alliances, not one.

Moreover, they all saw Xu Qing's arrival, and their determination was made, even if they helped, it would not help, so why bother to fight against Xu Qing.

After all, they came here in person to give Zhou Qifan face, and it's not a fateful friendship, so it's almost enough.

And this Xu Qing has an unlimited future like the rising sun, and the conflicts between the sects have nothing to do with individuals, so it would be more cost-effective if we could form a personal relationship with Xu Qing.

So during this retreat, both of them clasped their fists slightly towards Xu Qing, to show the meaning of drawing a boundary with Zhou Qifan.

Seeing this, Zhou Qifan's complexion changed, but he didn't say much.

This is also what he expected. In fact, he called these two people. It would be best if he could make a move. If he didn't make a move, he had achieved his goal. He hoped that more people would witness his arrest.

In this way, after being imprisoned, his life will really not be in danger.

And with so many people watching, the sect's face must be damaged.

In this way, the sect that lost face will be more angry and react faster, thus speeding up the regain of freedom.

When everyone had different thoughts and were thinking about themselves, Xu Qing took the second step. Following the illusion of the Golden Crow, he arrived in front of Zhou Qifan. In Zhou Qifan's eyes filled with anger, Xu Qing raised his right hand and was about to Repression.

"I'll go with you!" Zhou Qifan said loudly.

He felt that the foreshadowing was enough, there was no need to be directly slapped on the ground, and then taken away like a dead dog, that would be too shameful, but he couldn't just obediently follow the other party as soon as he came.

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Zhou Qifan was shocked, but his expression remained stubborn and angry, and his words carried an explanation.

"Xu Qing, although I bought the treasurer, I didn't use it. I don't have that habit. I bought it for some people in the sect."

"And I have already arranged for those treasure-raisers to be settled safely this morning, and have someone send you a list of these treasure-raisers to your murderer, so that you can receive them. Calculate the time, and it should be here now."

Zhou Qifan took a deep breath, with a strong expression, and spoke quickly.

Xu Qing's expression was strange. At this moment, the audio jade slip on his body vibrated. His perception swept over, and the information about the murderer appeared in his mind.

"Director, in the name of Dayan Dao Palace Zhou Qifan, someone sent a list of treasurers, and at the same time a commendation for the murderer's raid on Yejiu. In addition, in this commendation, there are 200 million Lingshi and an unknown pill, the other party said it was an enlightenment pill."

Seeing Xu Qing check the jade slips, Zhou Qifan was relieved, but his expression still showed stubbornness and anger.

Xu Qing raised his head, took a deep look at Zhou Qifan, and slowly lowered his right hand that was about to be photographed.

"Let's go." Saying that, Xu Qing turned around and walked outside.

Zhou Qifan snorted coldly, raised his chin, and quickly followed Xu Qing out of the gate of Dayan Taoist Palace amidst the silence of the disciples around him.

Stubborn all the way to the jail of the murderer.

It wasn't until he saw that the cell he was assigned to was obviously better than the cell where Sima Ling was dying, that he was completely relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise this time, I would have really stumbled."

Later, he saw Huang Yikun and Sheng Yunzi's younger brother who were even more miserable. This scene shocked him. Although he guessed that Xu Qing was related to Huang Yikun's disappearance, seeing the other party's misery with his own eyes at this moment, he deeply felt that he was so miserable. The preparation once was extremely correct.

At the same time, he also noticed that there were eighteen rings on his body, while Sima Ling and Huang Yikun had twenty rings.

"It seems that Xu Qing is also a reasonable person."

Zhou Qifan felt emotional from the bottom of his heart, and became more and more satisfied with his actions. This time, in order to resolve the matter, he exhausted all methods, both explicit and covert, and only then did he succeed in saving his face.

He was different from Sima Ling, he went there voluntarily and cooperated with the investigation, so he didn't lose much face, the one who lost was the sect and had nothing to do with him personally.

And the environment here is acceptable, especially when Sima Ling and Huang Yikun are awake at the moment, looking at the cell with tables, chairs and even meditation futons with complicated eyes, their indescribable eyes made Zhou Qifan feel, There is still some pride.

As for the outside world, with Zhou Qifan's arrest, the challenge has completely disappeared, no one is going to carry it out, and the celebration banquet of Qi Xuetong is still going on.

As for Xu Qing, after dealing with Yejiu's matter thoroughly, he is going to leave the sect for a trip.

The place he is going to is Huangjin.

He has almost bought all the poisonous herbs and poisons he can buy in the sect, but the refining of the little black worm has reached the No. 16 batch, and there is a bottleneck.

As a result, his plan to refine the pill of drug prohibition will also be affected.

Cannot continue.

After researching, Xu Qing felt that the level of the poisonous weed was not enough, and he needed a darker and more vicious poison to absorb the little black worm, so as to break through this bottleneck.

Among the poisonous plants and poisonous things, Xu Qing felt that the most suitable place around him was Huang Jin.

Moreover, the ruins that the captain mentioned possesses the inheritance of Tai Cang's sword, which is also in the Phoenix Forbidden City, so Xu Qing plans to take a look at it this time.

With this plan in mind, Xu Qing began to purchase information about Huang Jin in the next few days.

This forbidden area is located near the Zongmen, and it is also the place where the first peak fights, so the faction in the entire Southern Huangzhou that knows Huang Jin best is the first peak of the Seven Blood Pupils.

There is naturally a lot of data and information.

But Xu Qing didn't trust the people in the first peak, so he would rather pay more to buy multiple copies for self-comparison, and at the same time, he also retrieved the files to check, and went to the intelligence department for research.

In the end, he summed up a relatively comprehensive piece of information out of hundreds of documents.

This included several places he had chosen that contained highly poisonous things, as well as some weird places that could provide him with highly poisonous things.

Some of the details in it, Xu Qing also has a more thorough control after comparing them many times.

So he began to prepare some specific items for going to Huangban and these areas, and secretly purchased items, and at the same time, he also confessed that each of the Yejiu who will be imprisoned will take a drop of his heart.

Thousands of people were imprisoned in Yejiu, and the heart and soul of these people were put in eleven bottles. Xu Qing checked them and put them in storage bags.

These painstaking efforts can be used as currency to trade items in a strange place in the Phoenix Forbidden that he inspected.

While Xu Qing was preparing, the foreign sect's visit continued.

Different sect forces came every day, and while the Seven Blood Eyes became more and more lively, there also came a big force that made the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes hotly discussed again.

Wanggu Continent, one of the six major forces in Yinghuang Prefecture... Litu Taoist Altar!
Nanhuang's Litu Sect is actually a branch of the Litu Dao Altar in Yinghuangzhou, so the arrival of people from the Dao Altar also makes Nanhuang's Litu Sect attach great importance.

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

Xu Qing didn't see it with his own eyes, but he knew through the files that these five people were the godsons of Litu Dao Altar, comparable to His Highness Sequence.

While looking at the photos and records of the five Litu Daoist disciples in the dossier, Xu Qing's hand holding the dossier suddenly paused.

A strange look slowly appeared on his face, which gradually turned into a memory.

"Her brother?"

Among the five godsons at the Litu Dao Altar, there was one whom Xu Qing had met in the scavenger camp.

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

"I don't know how she is now."

A little girl with a dirty face appeared in Xu Qing's mind, standing in the wind and snow and smiling at herself, while the snowflakes were falling, she gave herself a piece of candy.

"Brother kid, every time I am unhappy, my mother will give me sweets, and I will be happy after eating."

"This is my last piece of candy, for you."

"Big brother, be happy!"

Xu Qing was silent and didn't ask any questions. He thought of Master Bai's words.

"As long as we don't die, we will meet each other eventually."

Until a few days passed, when all the preparations for going to Huangjin were completed, Xu Qing left 170 Liugang in the middle of the night, passed the road to the first peak, galloped in the night, and went straight to Huangjin!
At the same time as Xu Qing was leaving, in the attic of the Seventh Peak with Seven Blood Eyes, amidst the scattered moonlight, an old man with wrinkled tattoos on his face, wearing a black Taoist robe, with faint streams of light flashing in his eyes, sat on both sides of the chessboard with Qi Ye , playing chess.

This old man is Xue Lianzi, the ancestor of the seven blood pupils. The stream of light in his eyes is a manifestation of the great realm he is in. This is the first level of the Guixu Grand Realm, called Shattered Sky Thousand Dao.

The streamer in the eyes, each ray is a road.

Apart from the two of them, there was a middle-aged woman beside them in the attic. This woman was dressed in palace attire and looked very luxurious. Now she was expressionless and was pouring tea for the two of them.

If Xu Qing was here, he would have recognized this middle-aged woman as Ding Xue's aunt.

At this moment, the ancestor Xue Lianzi took a sip from his teacup, looked at Qi Ye who was staring at the chessboard thinking about how to move forward, and smiled.

"Old Qi, tell me how they will play this chess game of the Seven Sect Alliance. After all, the Seven Sects have put up such a big battle, and everyone knows it. They look aggressive and want to punish Qi Xuetong. Pai, where is their real goal?" Xue Lianzi spoke lightly with a half-smile.

"I know that my ancestor is testing me, but my son-in-law is stupid and doesn't know." Qi Ye pretended to be at a loss.

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

Qi Ye also showed a smile on his face, as if he had thought about how to make a move, so he picked up the chess piece and landed it on the board.

"Even if you eat seven pieces at the bottom of this game of chess, it doesn't make much sense, but if you focus on the top and only take this one piece, wouldn't my area be completely alive? If the seven alliances are moving southward , the momentum is like a rainbow, but in fact its purpose must be to go north.”

"In the Yunxian Ancient River in the north, the alliance of the Seven Sects has been coveted for a long time. If the Taisi Xianmen did not obstruct the development of the Seven Sects in every possible way, the Seven Sects would definitely not be where they are today, so this matter will soon come to fruition."

"Being annoyed by Tai Si, it will be convenient for me to do things." Qi Ye said softly.
