Outside Of Time

365 Eight Sects Alliance (2)

The seven ancestors’ bodies trembled and their expressions changed rapidly.

They discovered that the Seven Blood Eyes’ taboo was even stranger than their previous judgment. It wasn’t a simple judgment of life and death, it would inflict fatal injuries even if it failed.

Such a heavy blow could clearly be stacked. In other words, even if someone heaven-defyingly withstood seven judgments and they didn’t die, they would definitely not be far from death under these seven heavy injuries.

More importantly, the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure had an abundance of power sources. There was no telling how many times it could be activated in a row. This was the most terrifying point because the other sects’ Taboos could only be used once in a short period of time.

Although there was a high chance that the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo couldn’t be used many times, they didn’t dare to gamble and there was no need.

As such, the ancestors of the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect immediately spoke.

“My sect agrees to the Seven Blood Eyes joining the alliance!”

“My sect seconds the motion!”

The agreement of these two sects seemed to be forced by the situation, but it wasn’t the case in Soaring Cloud’s eyes. He recalled the Taboo light he had activated to intimidate the Seven Blood Eyes back then. At that time, the hidden target of the alliance was the Minor Affairs Sect.

However, on the surface, it was to intimidate the Seven Blood Eyes. Originally, the plan was only for his sect to activate their Taboo. However, for some reason, the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect also activated their Taboos.

Although they gave an explanation later, from the looks of it now, the two sects had clearly done so because they were worried that he wouldn’t follow the plan and really attack the Seven Blood Eyes.

“They colluded long ago!” The face of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor was pale. With the agreement of the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect, the other four sects’ ancestors also wanted to agree.

Seeing this, he wailed in his mind and wanted to attack. However, the feeling of life and death in that instant made him unable to be resolute, but the reputation on stake was far more than just the life lantern and he was unable to end this so simply. An ancient voice suddenly rang out leisurely from the sky.

“We’re all family. Why make a big fuss? Everything is a misunderstanding.”

“Fellow Daoist Soaring Cloud, return. The other fellow Daoists also come back. Fellow Daoist Xue Lianzi, our alliance welcomes you to join the Senate and the Seven Blood Eyes to join the alliance. You can come and discuss the details of the Seven Blood Eyes’ migration with us.”

“This is an oath and Wanggu shall bear witness. After the discussion, the Seven Sects Alliance will be changed to the Eight Sects Alliance.”

“Fellow Daoist Xue Lianzi, what do you think?”

This voice was gentle. As it drifted in the wind, a huge face appeared in the sky. Its aura was astonishing and as soon as it appeared, it formed a suppression that enveloped the nine first stage Nihility ancestors below.

However, the pressure didn’t spread to the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples and the sect.

This face belonged to a middle-aged cultivator. He looked like a scholar and didn’t seem to be filled with hostility at all. He calmly looked at Xue Lianzi. At the same time, there was an even larger face on this face that was exactly the same.

It was just like stacked layers. There was a third, a fourth, a fifth… Each of them was larger than the other and spread for an unknown distance. There were so many of them that it was impossible to count. As it got higher and higher, the people of the world couldn’t see the limit. They even had the illusion that the sky above the Nanhuang Continent was filled with this person.

“Greetings, Alliance Leader!”

“Greetings, Alliance Leader!” The ancestors of the Seven Sects Alliance all had solemn expressions as they bowed respectfully to the faces in the sky.

This scene caused Xu Qing’s breathing to become hurried. The captain revealed a strange glint in his eyes, and Old Master Seventh, who was in front, also lifted his head and stared as he mumbled softly.

“Second stage of the Nihility Realm, Illusory and Truth Myriad Transformations…”

Xu Qing looked at the sky. A huge wave rose in his mind and desire slowly appeared in his eyes. He also wanted to become that powerful.

Xue Lianzi also took a deep breath and bowed to the huge face, agreeing to this matter.

At the next instant, the faces in the sky dissipated. The expression of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor was ugly. With a flick of his sleeve, he swept up the sect’s disciples who were previously aggressive but later trembled in fear and left.

As for the other ancestors, they cupped their fists toward Xue Lianzi and Esteemed Master Dongyou before leaving. The Mystic Nether Sect’s ancestor was a woman, but her appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. Before she left, she glanced at the Seventh Peak and seemed to smile before leaving.

Only the ancestors of the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect stayed behind and didn’t leave immediately.

They were a man and a woman. The woman looked gentle, while the man had a full beard. Regardless of appearance or aura, they emitted a sense of transcendence. Their gazes flickered as they smiled at Xue Lianzi and Esteemed Master Dongyou and looked like they were reminiscing about their past.

Clearly, the four of them had known each other long ago and their relationship was extraordinary. Now that the matter was settled, there was no need to hide anything.

“We’ll wait for you at the Alliance.”

“Brother Xue, welcome to the Alliance!”

Xue Lianzi laughed. Esteemed Master Dongyou’s expression was relaxed. After talking about the old days, the Spirit Dawn Valley and the Heavenly Treasure Sect’s ancestors bade farewell and stepped into the sky, returning to the Wanggu Continent.

As everyone left and Old Master Seventh’s disciple accepting ceremony ended, Xue Lianzi announced all the plans of the Seven Blood Eyes.

The Seven Blood Eyes would join the Seven Sects Alliance and the alliance would become the Eight Sects Alliance. They would migrate over in a few days.

After the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples completely understood this matter, they were excited. This excitement lasted for seven to eight days and still didn’t decrease. The entire sect was filled with celebratory mood. This was what they talked about every day.

On the other hand, Xu Qing remained low key. Although he had become the fourth highness of the Seventh Peak, he was focused on adapting to the second life lantern in his body during this period of time.

The sect didn’t ask about his two life lanterns at all. This was tacit approval.

Several days later, the sect issued an announcement.

Three days later, the Seven Blood Eyes would form a negotiation team led by the ancestor and Old Master Seventh. They would head to the Wanggu Continent’s Seven Sects Alliance to discuss the details of the integration and relocation.

The relocation and integration of a sect was definitely not a small matter. They would have to negotiate about many things. However, the person negotiating wasn’t Xu Qing. He was arranged to be an attendee.

The captain, the third highness, and several highnesses from the other peaks participated as well.

This time, the Seven Sects Alliance would restrain all their arrogance and welcome their arrival with an equal attitude and high-standard etiquette.

The night before he set off, Xu Qing had a dream.

Over these years, he rarely dreamed.

In the dream, he returned to his childhood, to his parents’ side, to the city he was born in.

At that time, he was not a vagrant.

At that time, he still had a happy family.

At that time, he still didn’t know the evil of this world.

In the dream, his parents’ appearances were a little blurry. He tried his best to remember them but they still gradually faded through the years. This had nothing to do with the cultivation base. This was human instinct.

However, his older brother appeared very clearly in the dream.

He had an older brother.

In the dream, his brother had a very good relationship with him. The two of them grew up together, played in the mud together, laughed and joked together, went to school together, and whispered to each other at night.

Xu Qing’s body was very weak as a child. Every time he was bullied, it was his older brother who would run over and beat away the children who bullied him. He would help the fallen Xu Qing up and then pat his head. His voice was very gentle and warm.

“Don’t cry, brother’s here.”
