Outside Of Time - Chapter 332

332 Dark Clouds Covering the Moon, a Night of Killing

The next day.

It was rare for the heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance to stop their challenges. Almost everyone’s gazes landed on Port 176’s Homicide Department.

They fell silent.

They each inhaled cold air.

!!
Their eyes revealed fear and shock.

They didn’t know what had happened in the Homicide Department.

Although the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation was ineffective against Sima Ru, the isolation of the environment didn’t involve anyone. Hence, outsiders couldn’t see yesterday’s battle.

Only the upper echelons of the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sequence highnesses could see it clearly.

However, other than the Seventh Peak, the other six peaks were still unable to see it because… Old Master Seventh had interfered.

Hence, what everyone outside the Seventh Peak saw was Sima Ru drifting in. Not long later, the isolation in the Homicide Department dissipated and everything returned to normal. After the disciples of the Homicide Department returned, the operations of the entire Homicide Department continued as usual.

They continued to capture Night Dove and sent a large number of criminals over.

Only Sima Ru had gone missing. Her younger brother, Sima Ling, was still imprisoned and hadn’t been released.

As for the bone boat at the harbor, it silently lost its support and collapsed on its own.

This scene caused monstrous waves in the hearts of these heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance. At this moment, they suddenly felt that it was meaningless to challenge the other peaks.

No matter what, the Homicide Department of Port 176 was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into their hearts.

Sima Ling was arrested and suppressed by the Homicide Department, and his sister was clearly suppressed as well. As for the Mystic Nether Sect’s Huang Yikun, he disappeared after challenging the Seventh Peak. Before he disappeared, he had also told others that he would handle the matter regarding Xu Qing.

All of this… was related to Xu Qing!

Hence, in the eyes of these Seven Sects Alliance’s disciples, Port 176 Homicide Department was like a den of a ferocious beast. It was mysterious and unfathomable but at the same time, it contained unimaginable dangers.

Originally, the goal of the Seven Sects Alliance in sending these heaven’s chosens was to use their repeated challenges to suppress the will of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples and let the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples grow a seed of reverence for the Seven Sects Alliance.

They did accomplish this at the start. As they challenged again and again, the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples had fallen silent. Many disciples had become anxious and some even tried to contact them.

However, now, while they intimidated the many Seven Blood Eyes disciples, they themselves were intimidated by the Homicide Department.

“Just what level is Xu Qing’s true combat strength!”

“Sima Ru didn’t even return. Although the one who came wasn’t her main body, she still possessed the combat strength of four and a half fire. She could easily suppress us, but was suppressed by Xu Qing.”

“The Seventh Peak… Is it the core of the entire Seven Blood Eyes?”

“It’s good that Senior Brother Saintly Star didn’t leave…”

While the heaven’s chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance were shocked, the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples’ moods fluctuated when they observed all of this. In their eyes, Xu Qing and the Seventh Peak were shining.

They were like a bright light that illuminated the dim sky in the hearts of the disciples of the other peaks.

This caused the concept of invincibility that was planted in them when they faced the heaven’s chosens of the Wanggu Continent to change. They also yearned for the Seventh Peak and developed an extremely high reverence for the Seventh Peak’s Peak Lord.

There were even some rumors that the situation of the Seven Blood Eyes would change a little. The greatest change was that a sect master would appear!

So far, the Seven Blood Eyes only had peak lords and no sect master.

In reality, the disciples of the seven peaks listened to their respective peaks and didn’t agree much with the other peaks. They did their own things and would only cooperate with each other on major matters.

Now… the arrival of the Seven Sects Alliance was like a huge hammer that bombarded the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes. That feeling of an incoming storm caused the hearts of all the disciples to be in turmoil under the pressure of the outside world. All kinds of thoughts were rising.

However, from another perspective, this pressure was like forging iron, causing the dross contained in the Seven Blood Eyes over the years to be revealed.

The visiting nonhuman races and the Seven Blood Eyes’ allies saw everything even more deeply. They could faintly see the Seven Blood Eyes’ ancestor’s grasp of the human heart.

He was borrowing the hands of the Seven Sects Alliance to temper his sect.

The Seven Sects Alliance clearly saw this point, so they no longer urged the heaven’s chosens of the various sects to continue challenging. However, they started sending transfer orders to the Seven Blood Eyes.

They wanted to transfer the peak lords of the various peaks, especially the Seventh Peak.

They also called up all the highnesses, especially the highnesses and Sequences of the Seventh Peak, to head to the Wanggu Continent to arrange their positions.

These transfer orders were all delayed by Xue Lianzi.

However, this time around, the Seven Sects Alliance seemed to be determined. Each of the transfer orders was harsher than the last. In the end, their words even revealed a hint of threat. It was as though if they didn’t listen to the orders, the Seven Sects Alliance would forcefully suppress them.

The most powerful sect in the Seven Sects Alliance, the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, was much more active in this. Its ancestor had initiated the taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, forming a huge deterrence.

As the taboo magic treasure of the Cloud Soaring Sword Sect was initiated and could activate at any time, the upper sects of the Second Peak and the Sixth Peak – Spirit Dawn Valley and Heavenly Treasure Sect – also activated their taboo magic treasures, as though they were cooperating in this deterrence.

Other than the transfer order, there were also orders asking the Seven Blood Eyes to hand over half of the war compensation of the Sea Corpse Race. Moreover, the Seven Sects Alliance would set up a Foreign Affairs Department on all the islands occupied by the Seven Blood Eyes.

This division was known as the Foreign Affairs Department but it was actually an inspection department. It would monitor the ancestor and observe the disciples.

In an instant, the entire Seven Blood Eyes became unsteady again.

However, Xu Qing didn’t pay too much attention to it. On one hand, he didn’t think that the higher-ups of the sect who were born from the Gu-nurturing system would be helpless about this matter.

On the other hand, such matters between sects couldn’t be looked at from the surface. With such a huge benefit involved, the human heart couldn’t be trusted, let alone the discussions on the surface.

“The Seven Sects Alliance isn’t united either,” Xu Qing mumbled. He had already seen this point from the matter with the Bizarre Hunting Sect. In reality, this made sense.

Moreover, his current energy was mostly on the research of the little black bugs and Night Dove’s capture operation.

During this period of curfew and the continuous movements against them, Night Dove’s mobility in the Seven Blood Eyes had been squeezed to the limit.

The final operation began several days later.

Night Dove’s five headquarters in the Seven Blood Eyes had been thoroughly investigated.

That night, the members of the seven Homicide Departments and their elites all moved out. They formed five sharp blades and would attack Night Dove’s five headquarters at the same time.

Even more disciples of the Homicide Department were scattered in the main city, strictly monitoring the curfew. They also had the mission to capture the fleeing Night Doves.

This was the overall plan of the Night Dove Capture Operation.

As the night wind blew over and Xu Qing’s figure walked out of Port 176’s Homicide Department, thousands of disciples of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department appeared one after another behind him. Xu Qing’s voice blew the horn to destroy Night Dove.

“Homicide Department, set off. After tonight, there will be no Night Doves in the Seven Blood Eyes!”

Xu Qing’s voice was filled with killing intent that echoed in all directions.

“Yes!”

Thousands of Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department disciples spoke in unison. At the next instant, Xu Qing led the way. The few deputy directors behind him each led their teams and thousands of people headed straight for their target in the darkness.

Tonight, the wind was strong and dark clouds covered the moon.

Wherever the disciples of the Homicide Department passed, all the shops and businesses were closed. The inns that were originally open at night were no longer able to operate properly due to the curfew. Right now, they looked at the figures of the Homicide Department passing by from behind the closed doors and windows.

In the night wind, Xu Qing, who was speeding at the front, looked at the night sky and everything in his surroundings. He suddenly recalled the second night when he had just arrived at the Seven Blood Eyes.

At that time, he was walking carefully on the road. Looking at the members of the Homicide Department who were rapidly passing by, he had felt vigilant, wary, and envious.

Now, he was leading thousands of members of the Homicide Department and they were all carrying out his orders.

“It’s been three years.” Xu Qing mumbled and sped up.

Behind him, all the members of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department looked at Xu Qing with fanaticism. This was the way of survival in this chaotic world. This was the admiration the weak had for the strong.

At the same time… Xu Qing’s footsteps were also an important reason why they admired him.

Three years ago, Xu Qing was just like them, a team member.

Three years later, Xu Qing was already the director of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department!

The night wind grew even stronger.

Not long later, Xu Qing looked at a large residence from afar. This place wasn’t small and was once a property of the Fourth Peak. Later on, it was bought and used as a brothel.

However, with the curfew, there was no more business here. It was gradually desolate and the lights inside were also dim.

“Kill!” Xu Qing calmly said. Thousands of Homicide Department members behind him erupted with killing intent and rushed out in unison, heading straight for the residence. In an instant, rumbling sounds spread from everywhere. Many Night Dove members were trying to flee in panic, but there were even more Homicide Department members surrounding them.

The sounds of slaughter came from everywhere and the stench of blood drifted over with the wind.

Xu Qing didn’t make a move. Instead, he stood in the air and coldly stared at everything. At the same time, reports on the attacks on the other Night Dove Headquarters were being transmitted to him by the other departments.

“Director Xu, the attack on the third stronghold went smoothly. We are cleaning up here!”

“Everything is going smoothly in the second stronghold. We have killed Night Dove’s Foundation Building enemy leaders. The remaining survivors are being killed.”

“The attack on the fifth stronghold is completed!”

“Requesting assistance! In the fourth stronghold, there is suspected to be a cultivator of the Seven Sects Alliance’s Soaring Cloud Sword Sect and also a three fires Night Dove Foundation Building cultivator!!”

Almost at the same time that Xu Qing saw this last message, a distress signal from the Homicide Department erupted in the distant sky.

Xu Qing lifted his head and took a step forward. In an instant, his speed erupted and his aura shot through the sky, heading straight for the place where the signal came from. As he moved forward, the Golden Crow appeared behind him and spread its wings. Its tail flames fluttered like tentacles and formed a sea of fire.

From afar, Xu Qing’s cape was covered in flames and his momentum was unstoppable.
