321 Condescending (1)
Xu Qing didn’t like to be disturbed while cultivating and researching.
However, at this moment, he was keenly looking at the purple bead that the Homicide Department disciple had sent over.
This bead emitted an unknown aura, causing the Golden Crow on his back to act a little abnormally. It quickly manifested behind him. After staring at the bead, it slowly revealed a hint of desire.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. After pondering for a moment, he walked out of the prison. At the guest pavilion of the Homicide Department, he saw the purple-robed youth.
The other party was tall and standing straight. At that moment, his back was facing Xu Qing and he was looking at a picture of evil ghosts fighting for food on the wall in the guest pavilion. Although he hadn’t activated his Mystic Brilliance Form, the circulation of the 120 magic apertures on his body formed flames that kept rising in his body.
This caused everything in the surroundings to distort in the eyes of the Qi Condensation disciples. It was as though this place had already become the home ground of the purple-robed youth, but this was useless against Xu Qing.
As he stepped in, all the distortion in this place instantly dissipated.
“Xu Qing?” The youth with his back facing Xu Qing turned around. There was a hint of scrutiny on his face as his gaze landed on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing didn’t like such gazes but he didn’t reveal his emotions. He calmly looked at the person.
“With the power of two fires, Golden Crow Refines All Life, the life-destroying poison, and such a body, Xu Qing… the small pond that is the Seven Blood Eyes is no longer suitable for you,” the purple-robed youth calmly said. After that, he sat at the main seat of the guest pavilion.
Everything was very natural, as though he had always thought that he should take this position.
However, at that moment, he didn’t notice at all that an apple had suddenly appeared in the empty space behind him.
The apple was bitten by an invisible person without making any sound.
Xu Qing’s expression was a little strange. He glanced at the apple but didn’t say anything, waiting for this purple-robed youth to continue.
The purple-robed youth calmly spoke.
“You are probably not able to do as you wish in the Seven Blood Eyes. You’re just in the Sequence and not a highness, and this Sequence position was only given to you because you made a great contribution. You don’t have to remember such a sect.”
“Actually, you know very well who I am. I’m Huang Yikun of the Mystic Nether Sect. You can call me Eldest Senior Brother.” Huang Yikun’s words were loud, and the judgmental look in his eyes became increasingly obvious as he spoke.
There was originally a bite mark on the apple behind him, as though the invisible person wanted to take another bite. However, the person paused at this moment, seemingly dissatisfied with his words.
Xu Qing pretended not to see it. He indeed knew who the other party was. Although he had never seen him in person before, there were records of this person in the dossier.
“Xu Qing, I admire you very much. Today, I’ll give you a chance to leave this lower sect and join the upper sect.”
Huang Yikun placed his red-gloved right hand on the armrest of the chair. His body leaned forward slightly and his eyes gleamed. He looked into Xu Qing’s eyes and spoke word by word.
“Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is that you have to be loyal to me.”
Xu Qing frowned slightly.
As for the apple floating behind Huang Yikun, a gap quickly appeared. Clearly, it had been bitten ruthlessly.
“Xu Qing, you might not know the meaning of the upper sect yet.” Huang Yikun noticed Xu Qing’s frown but didn’t care. He smiled faintly.
“The emperor-level cultivation art you cultivate is called Golden Crow Refines All Life. Do you know that the Lord Alliance Leader of the Seven Sects Alliance also comprehended this cultivation art?”
“That old man comprehended it comprehensively. You must have had a lucky encounter but your harvest clearly can’t be compared to him. Am I right?”
Xu Qing fell silent.
“When you come to the upper sect, there will be a greater possibility of your emperor-level cultivation art improving. Lord Alliance Leader came from the Mystic Nether Sect which is how my Mystic Nether Sect has the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art. This cultivation technique was actually created by the Lord Alliance Leader by referencing Golden Crow Refines All Life.”
At this point, Huang Yikun’s expression carried a hint of pride as he lifted his chin.
“Also… the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art that the lower sect cultivates is only at the low-level.” As he spoke, Huang Yikun lifted his gloved right hand and slowly took off his glove.
As he took it off, an astonishing aura emitted from his right hand.
The five fingers on his right hand were all purple, like crystals. They looked quite strange and emitted soul-stirring fluctuations.
They were like a treasure!
All the light in the surroundings dimmed at this moment, as though it was absorbed by these five fingers, causing them to become the source of light.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He could sense an extraordinary intent from these five fingers. Even the Golden Crow tattoo on his back became active.
Vaguely, the fiendish fire in his body seemed to be drawn toward these fingers.
However, Xu Qing felt that this Huang Yikun… shouldn’t have shown off these five fingers here.
Behind Huang Yikun, the floating apple trembled. It was as though the hand holding the apple was excited. Two burning gazes faintly erupted from behind and landed on Huang Yikun’s raised right hand.
Noticing Xu Qing’s expression, Huang Yikun felt smug. There was also a hint of disdain and jealousy hidden in the bottom of his heart. He was smug about the five fingers he had forged with his wealth and cultivation.
Every time he revealed it, it would cause everyone to be shocked.
What he disdained was that this Xu Qing in front of him was ultimately just a fish in a small pond. Even if he had some opportunities, his outlook was still far inferior.
