Chapter 998: The Light-Eating Spirit

It’s the fifth day since the Empress’s decree was issued.

The weather was sunny and the sky was cloudless.

Only the morning sun shines on the port of Seven Blood Eyes.

From afar, one could see that the port was bustling with activity, with many monks and laymen coming and going, and there were also foreign races from various islands trading there.

Today, the Seven Blood Eyes has become a dominant force, with its sphere of influence covering the inland sea, making countless island tribes willing to depend on it.

All the products of the entire Nanhuang Continent are gathered at the port of Qixuetong. While they are distributed in all directions, the port in Yinghuang Continent transports the products of Wanggu Continent here.

High-level cultivators do not specifically participate in these matters, as most of them are handled by low-level cultivators, who form a huge grassroots and serve as nutrients for the growth of the sect and the cultivation of disciples.

So there were so many Dharma and alien ships coming in and out that there were even more ships outside the port waiting to enter at all times.

Despite this, the order is very good.

This makes the work of the various departments in the Seven Blood Eyes responsible for maintaining public security much easier.

This is especially true for the criminal-catching officers, who usually look kind and harmless.

But in the hearts of all foreign races, they are extremely wary of those disciples wearing the robes of the Criminal Catcher.

They knew that the outward performance of these criminal-catching monks was all fake!

In fact, each of them is very scheming and can stab someone with a knife while smiling.

Over the years, during the rise of the Seven Blood Eyes, the corpses of all the troublemakers and the vicious people who were killed are the best proof.

Especially some older generation of foreign cultivators, from their mouths, many young foreigners knew that originally the Seven Blood Pupils was only a disciple of the Seventh Peak, not the other peaks.

But now...all the criminal-catching departments in all the peaks have become the same.

Even if you look at it comprehensively, you can find that not only the Criminal Catching Division, but also the disciples of other peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes have mostly become like the Seventh Peak back then...

It seems to have become a trend.

"This group of people is very sinister!"

This is the common understanding of all parties.

But there was nothing they could do. They didn't dare to offend the Seven Blood Eyes, and they were even more afraid to offend the Criminal Catching Bureau.

Because there is a big man who is now at the top of the Wanggu East Realm, and he was born in the Criminal Catching Bureau.

This great man is known to everyone in the entire forbidden sea island.

Especially in recent times, the entire Wanggu East Realm has been in a sensation because of him.

As for the legends about his past, there are many of them.

It can be said that now in the Forbidden Sea, his name can make an entire ethnic group silent in an instant.

High position and authority!

Compared to the awe of these outsiders, the criminal-catching departments of all the peaks in the Seven Blood Eyes have already reached the level of worship for this big man from their department, almost worshipping him as a god.
At this moment, the deity from the Criminal Catching Department sat cross-legged in the attic where the Seventh Master once stayed, breathing silently in the morning sunshine.

With every breath, there is a brilliant light that emanates from the rising sun in the sky and merges into its mouth, like food light.

It transformed into crystals in his body, spreading throughout his body, while also nourishing Xu Qing's only Xuan Yang Immortal Light.

And his body, in this sunshine and in this food light, became more and more gorgeous.

The purple robe, the long purple hair, the peerless face and the tall body made everyone who saw it sigh in their hearts that it was perfect.

"You can obviously live a better life with this face, such as finding a god to practice dual cultivation with, but you still try so hard..."

"As expected of my junior brother, your choice is exactly the same as mine back then."

Erniu was sitting in the attic as usual. After taking a look at Xu Qing, he spoke to his second junior sister and Huang Yan with a look of emotion on his face.

The second sister remained silent and ignored it.

But Huang Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Erniu, you dropped something."

Erniu was proud.

"Are you trying to say that I've lost my face and imply that I'm shameless? Second brother-in-law, you're too petty."

Huang Yan glared at the other party. The other party's despicable look made him want to slap him to death.

Erniu also glared. At the bottom of the sea, he was a little scared of Huang Yan, but in his own sect, especially with his junior sister still here, he was naturally not afraid.

Seeing the two people's eyes exchanged, there seemed to be a spark of fire, and the second sister frowned.

"That's enough for the two of you."

As soon as she said this, Huang Yan immediately put on an apologetic smile, while Erniu was proud.

The second brother had no idea what to do with his senior brother, so he changed the subject.

"Now, all the holy places left Wanggu East Realm two days ago. There should be a short period of peace before the new holy place comes."

"However, according to what that evil ancestor said before his death, a war in the future... is probably inevitable. Now that our master is in seclusion, how should the Seven Blood Eyes prepare? Do you have a plan, Senior Brother?"

"Of course!" Erniu licked his lips.

"That empress is also petty. She only gave us half of the resources in the Evil Life Holy Land. As for the Evil Life Holy Mountain, she took it all for herself!"

"That's too much! If the Holy Mountain is transformed by us, it will be a powerful weapon!"

"So my plan is that we, the Seven Blood Eyes, will write a letter to the Empress in the old man's name, severely condemning her, and then take the Holy Mountain over."

At this point, the captain's eyes lit up.

Huang Yan blinked and felt a little moved when he heard this.

As for the second sister, she fell into deep thought. After a while, she was about to speak, but the next moment her voice transmission jade slip vibrated. She picked it up, sensed it, and looked at Xu Qing.

"Junior brother, someone has seen the bronze dragon chariot you are looking for."

As soon as these words came out, the bright light outside the body of Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, began to ripple. After swallowing it all into his mouth, he opened and closed his eyes.

The mark of authority shone in his right eye, forming a terrifying pressure that shook some of the rules and laws of this place and caused the sky to change color.

After the battle with Fu Xie, Xu Qing returned and has been trying to adapt to the loss of his power, so he has no time to look for the Dragon Chariot.

But he knew that the dragon chariot must still be in the inland sea.

So after he came back, he issued a mission for the sect, asking the disciples with seven blood pupils to inform the sect immediately if they noticed the dragon chariot giant while they were out.

Now, the result has finally come.

So the next moment, Xu Qing stood up and looked at the second senior sister.

"I discovered that the disciple of Long Yan has some connection with you."

The second senior sister raised her hand and threw a jade slip to Xu Qing.

"Thank you, senior sister."

After Xu Qing received it, he scanned it with his mind, nodded, and took a step towards the forbidden sea.

Erniu also stood up and laughed.

"Little Junior Brother, Senior Brother will go with you to protect you."

As he spoke, he stepped towards the sky and disappeared between heaven and earth with Xu Qing.

"With his level of strength, he is nothing but a Dharma protector!"

Huang Yan snorted and his eyes fell on his senior sister.

After the second senior sister nodded, Huang Yan became full of energy. He jumped and rushed towards the direction where Xu Qing and Erniu were going.

At this moment, on the forbidden sea, a giant was moving forward, with half of his body exposed above the sea.

As it moved, the fierce waves turned into a tsunami, sweeping in all directions.

In the distance, a French ship was pitching up and down on the sea, and it seemed that it would be swallowed up by the huge waves at any time, but it never changed its direction and continued to follow the giant from a distance.

There were three monks standing on the French ship.

The three men were all wearing the robes of the Seven Blood-Pupil Criminal Catcher. The leader was a young man with black hair draped over his shoulders. He exuded a fierce aura, especially his eyes, which were like the eyes of a ferocious beast, carrying indifference to the world and life.

The last two are middle-aged and seem a bit ordinary in comparison.

However, their cultivation is not weak, especially the young man who is filled with murderous intent, who has reached the level of great perfection of Jindan and is only half a step away from Yuanying.

They are monks from the Seventh Peak Criminal Catching Division, and their status is extremely high in the division. The leader is the chief of the Seventh Peak Criminal Catching Division of this generation.

On weekdays, there are very few tasks in the company that require them to go out.

Until a few days ago, after seeing the mission to find the dragon chariot giant issued by Xu Qing, the director did not hesitate to take the two deputy directors and go out to sea together.

Finally, after the director's risk-taking and repeated searches in dangerous areas, they saw the dragon chariot giant by chance.

With their level of cultivation, they would be unable to hold on even if they were just following from a distance.

The terrifying aura coming from the giant made them tremble instinctively.

But even so, the black-haired young man still gritted his teeth and persisted with his special abilities.

Such desperate behavior made the two deputy directors behind him tremble in their hearts and recall some things and rumors about the director.

Their director was a mute before he took office. He was crazy and murderous, and he often bit people like a wild beast.

Most of his enemies were in pieces and looked horrible.

After taking office, as his cultivation level improved, he was able to speak, but he was extremely taciturn, and his murderous intent became even stronger.

He has caught almost all the wanted criminals in recent years.

During this process, the notoriety of their chief became famous among the various tribes in the Forbidden Sea.

There is also a legend that this director is Xu Qing's follower.

Some people said they saw this incident with their own eyes, while others thought it was nonsense.

And because Xu Qing had not returned in previous years, it gradually became a rumor.

But now, seeing their director working so desperately, they believed the rumors even more.

In this way, another stick of incense passed in their fear.

During this stick of incense, the figure of the giant slowly disappeared from the sea, but the tsunami became bigger and roared many times. The magic ships they were on also had cracks under the power of the forbidden sea, and it seemed that they could be torn apart at any time.

But the black-haired young man was still persistent. He used his skills to control the magic ship at the same time as he spread out his special perception to lock the direction so that he would not deviate.

Even after running for a long time, all seven orifices began to bleed, but there was no relaxation at all.

But as time passed, the tsunami grew bigger and more whirlpools formed on the sea surface, turning into huge tearing force, causing more cracks to appear on the French ship itself.

At this moment, a larger vortex roared in and rolled directly onto the French ship. The entire French ship suddenly shook violently, shattered in many places, and an unbearable creaking sound was heard.

The two monks from the Seventh Peak's Criminal Catching Division were extremely shocked and cried out in surprise.

But the next moment, the sound of thunder came from the sky, exploding in all directions.

The sound fell into the sea and merged with the sound of the tsunami, turning into a calm sound.

"Certainly."
