334 Basis of Society

One saber strike killed three fires!

This achievement could be achieved by any heaven’s chosen of the seven sects.

After all, the difference in combat strength between three fires and four fires was too great. In fact, four b.a.l.l.s of life fire at the Foundation Building realm could be considered another major realm.

Without an emperor-level cultivation art, life lantern, or support of some powerful external objects, the difference between the two sides was like heaven and earth.

Regardless of speed or explosiveness, they were on different levels.

However, Xu Qing’s attack still caused waves in the hearts of all the Seven Sects Alliance disciples who saw it.

At the start, they didn’t care about Xu Qing, but slowly, they had placed more importance on him. Now, they were wary of him.

This had a lot to do with Sima Ru’s disappearance.

Hence, Xu Qing’s attack carried much more might in their eyes.

In fact, even if they weren’t willing to admit it, they clearly understood that if they fought against Xu Qing, they would definitely lose. Vaguely, they had already categorized Xu Qing as a peerless cultivator second only to Saintly Star.

After they saw that saber strike, they all had mixed feelings about how deeply Xu Qing concealed his cards.

This was the Extreme Heaven Saber.

Although this saber technique could only be considered an emperor-level cultivation art after one had comprehended seven strikes, they did not know if Xu Qing really only had one saber strike.

Even if he only had one saber strike, it was still shocking.

External forces could not help in comprehension of the Extreme Heaven Saber. It depended on one’s own comprehension. This was the same for any sect.

In fact, there were some sects in the w.a.n.ggu Continent that specialized in saber Dao. They judged a person’s apt.i.tude by how much they had comprehended the Extreme Heaven Saber.

As such, to a certain extent, the Extreme Heaven Saber could also be considered a standard to verify heaven’s chosen. Under this standard, all the heaven’s chosens in the Seven Sects Alliance, other than Saintly Star, lost.

They had tried to comprehend it more than once but were unable to succeed.

Hence, when they saw Xu Qing using Extreme Heaven Saber to kill the black-clothed three fires Night Dove, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.

Regardless of whether it was them or the visiting allies, they could see the terrifying points of Xu Qing from this strike.

Decisiveness and intelligence.

Night Dove had been in the Seven Blood Eyes for so many years and was like wild gra.s.s that kept on growing no matter how many times you burned them. Moreover, so many of them gathered this time, causing the Homicide Department to spend nearly two months eliminating them. There was naturally a problem here.

This problem wouldn’t be small.

This was definitely because someone from the Seven Blood Eyes had provided them with a certain level of protection. The benefits involved were too great, so it was hard to say how many people from the Seven Blood Eyes were secretly partic.i.p.ating.

They could not overdo their actions against Night Dove.

The nonhuman cultivators had seen through it very clearly. In reality, they were also paying attention to see how the Seven Blood Eyes would deal with this Night Dove operation by the Homicide Department and if it would cause internal chaos.

However, Xu Qing’s actions were very decisive. He had clearly sensed the three fires Night Dove’s ident.i.ty but he didn’t dig deeper. Instead, he killed him cleanly with a single strike, causing the other party to have no chance to speak. Even his corpse turned into minced meat, and his ident.i.ty could no longer be seen on the surface.

Such a strike not only killed this person but also all the connections related to Night Dove behind him.

He used this saber strike to tell everyone who was hiding behind the scenes that the Homicide Department wouldn’t pursue this matter.

This method would be wrong if it were a prosperous era, but in this chaotic world, this was the smartest choice with the least impact.

Not only did he kill Night Dove, but he also secretly did others a favor, causing all the hidden people to have no choice but to admit that Xu Qing had done a good job in this matter. They wouldn’t trouble him over this matter.

Even Xue Lianzi’s eyes were filled with admiration.

He didn’t care about the dirty things in the sect because he knew very well that if there was light, there would be darkness as well. The sunlight produced shadow. In many things, there weren’t just black and white, but also gray.

Xu Qing was once ignorant about this principle. After coming to the Seven Blood Eyes, he had seen too many hidden blades and too many people he couldn’t figure out. He was like a cotton, rapidly learning and growing until he understood these mechanisms.

After this battle, Xu Qing’s name was deeply remembered by all the nonhuman races. Moreover, the fear in their hearts was also intense. However, they wouldn’t easily reveal their likes and dislikes.

This was because they could tell that this Xu Qing… had both strength and ruthlessness. Not only was he good at hiding, but he was also smart. Unless they killed such a person in one strike, once they failed to attack, they would definitely suffer a backlash.

Without the fight for benefits and hatred that wouldn’t rest until one side died, no one was willing to take the risk to make a move. Most of them had the thought of befriending him.

This was one of the complicated human natures.

After the night’s cleanup and all the Night Doves were captured, when Xu Qing obtained a name list, he asked the sect and received an affirmative answer.

This list was the account book of the people who bought the treasure-nurturers.

Even though account books were often the key to spoiling things, the meaning of their existence wasn’t really just recording but as a method of checks and balances.

At the same time, the records could have been left intentionally as well.

This was because to a certain extent, it was an existence similar to a taboo magic treasure.

There was a high chance that the transactions were registered deliberately. The record mainly had the names and number of people bought by the Seven Sects Alliance. What surprised Xu Qing was that not every sect in the Seven Sects Alliance bought them.

Among them, the upper sect of the Second Peak – Spirit Dawn Valley, the upper sect of the Sixth Peak – Heavenly Treasure Sect, the upper sect of the Seventh Peak – Mystic Nether Sect, and the upper sect of the Fifth Peak – Fate Pavilion, didn’t buy any.

The ones who bought the most were the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, the Bizarre Hunting Sect, and the upper sect of the Fourth Peak, the Great Expansion Dao Palace.

The heaven’s chosens from the first two sects who had stayed in the Seven Blood Eyes were already locked up in the prison. The only one who wasn’t captured outside was the cultivator from the Great Expansion Dao Palace.

Xu Qing recalled the riches in Sima Ling’s storage ring and wanted to capture this heaven’s chosen of the Great Expansion Dao Palace. However, he wouldn’t act rashly. Hence, he asked the sect if he could capture this person.

Unless the benefits were great, he rarely overstepped his boundaries in the open.

The other party’s interests were unknown and it concerned the Seven Sects Alliance. Xu Qing felt that it was the safest to get confirmation and have official support.

The sect only sent one word.

“Capture!”

Looking at the sect’s reply, Xu Qing left the Homicide Department. The next morning, he walked on the streets of the Seven Blood Eyes.

The night of slaughter by the Homicide Department was very fruitful. It also caused most of the evils in the main city to disappear without a trace.

The rules of the Seven Blood Eyes protected mortals greatly. Hence, the actions of the Homicide Department didn’t affect mortals at all. On the contrary, it made them feel much safer.

Xu Qing arrived at the breakfast stall he used to frequent. He ate a few snacks with a bowl of hot soup. Finally, under the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper, he ate three eggs and politely left a few spirit coins before bidding farewell.

This breakfast stall wasn’t very famous originally and was only one of the many breakfast stalls in the main city. However, in the past year or so, there had been some changes and it had become a must-go place for people patrolling the night in the Homicide Department, causing business to be much better than before.

Moreover, no one had ever dared to cause trouble here. The boss of the breakfast stall naturally knew the reason. Hence, as he cleared the table, he looked at the departing Xu Qing and sighed with emotion.

He still remembered the first time the other party came three years ago. His expression was filled with caution. After taking a sip of the soup, there was satisfaction on his face.

“It’s been three years. This youth has unknowingly grown so big and become a big shot.”

As he sighed with emotion, the boss looked at the customers in the surroundings who smelled strongly of blood. Their eyes were filled with fanaticism and reverence as they looked at the back of the youth. He smiled and shook his head.

Xu Qing walked at a moderate pace. Even though his current cultivation was extraordinary and he already held great power in the sect, he still habitually liked to walk in the corners.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn out, as the sky grew brighter and there were more pedestrians, Xu Qing arrived in front of a residence.

This place was the residence of the Great Expansion Dao Palace’s disciples in the Seven Blood Eyes.

All the outsiders who came to visit the Seven Blood Eyes had a fixed residence. For example, the Great Expansion Dao Palace’s residence was a two-storeyed courtyard building.

The power of array formations enveloped it. Xu Qing, who had walked to the gate, silently sensed it and calmly spoke.

“Sect Array Formation, please suppress this place.”

This time, Xu Qing was under orders to enforce the law. The sect’s array formation instantly erupted, forming a suppressive force that landed here, causing all the array formations of the Great Expansion Dao Palace in the residence to be instantly suppressed.

Exclamations rang out from within.

Xu Qing calmly pushed open the door of the residence and saw dozens of people with different expressions rus.h.i.+ng out.

Among these dozens of people, there were three people in the lead: two men and one woman.

The woman wore a long white dress that looked like a palace dress but there were no complicated patterns. Only the hem of her dress was dyed red and there were cloud patterns embroidered on her sleeves. Her entire body emitted pill fragrance and her appearance was elegant.

At that moment, her eyes revealed a strange glint. Although she followed everyone out, her gaze was the clearest. From the inside out, there was no panic at all.

Beside her stood a youth in a yellow garment. He had an ordinary appearance. There were some spots on his face but his eyes were extremely bright as he stared fixedly at Xu Qing.

On her other side, there was another youth. This person wore a blue Daoist robe that was covered with cloud patterns. Those clouds were strange and seemed to be flowing and changing on their own. There was a faint intent of an array formation emitting from them.

His countenance was the palest and there was obvious panic in his eyes. After seeing Xu Qing, his breathing quickened.

Behind the three of them were mostly disciples of the Great Expansion Dao Palace. All of them were equally nervous.

Further away, Xu Qing saw three middle-aged cultivators. These three people were scattered and didn’t speak, but the Golden Core fluctuations on their bodies were all spreading out.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept over and he looked at the youth in the blue robe.

“Zhou Qifan from the Great Expansion Dao Palace?”
