Seeking Immortality

After bringing Dongfang Quan, at Xu Qingfan's signal, he turned to Xu Qingt3, his expression as humble as ever. /

At this moment, Xu Qingfan was sitting cross-legged on his bed, quietly looking at Dongfang Quan in front of him, with a calm expression.

Dongfang Quan, on the other hand, lowered his head. A master at the Golden Core stage, he seemed like a child who had done something wrong. He did not dare to look at Xu Qingfan, or even look at Xu Qingfan.

In this way, with Xu Qingfan's cold gaze and Dongfang Quan's silence, the silence lasted for a long time.

At first, as Qiu left, Dongfang Quan suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps Xu Qingfan's cultivation level was higher and his methods were more advanced, but for some reason, Dongfang Quan was more afraid of Qiu, or It's because of Qiu's reckless attitude as if one's life is worth nothing, or because of Qiu's aura like a natural enemy of all creatures in the world, or because of Qiu's mystery.

And Xu Qingfan may be too familiar. Even after it was rumored that Xu Qingfan became a demon, Xu Qingfan still looked kind, making it difficult for Dongfang Quan to feel the same sense of awe as his enemies.

At least that's how it started.

But after Xu Qingfan saw Dongfang Quan, he just took him into the room, sat down silently, and then looked at him quietly.

Although his eyes were deep, they were not so sharp and murderous. At first, Dongfang Quan seemed to feel that he was safe. With Xu Qingfan's character, it was impossible to kill an old man like himself who had followed him for many years.

However, gradually, Dongfang Quan discovered something was wrong.

As the silence continued, Xu Qingfan still just looked at him silently, without saying a word and enigmatically. Dongfang Quan, who originally felt relaxed, gradually felt an invisible pressure slowly approaching him.

Gradually. The firm thoughts in my heart began to waver. Xu Qingfan was so silent. Are you really planning to let yourself go?

As soon as such doubts arise. It spreads irresistibly. As the uncertainty in my heart deepens. Xu Qingfan gave him an increasingly unfathomable feeling. I just feel that the invisible pressure around my body is getting bigger and bigger as time goes by. At the end. Dongfang Quan's body trembled uncontrollably. I just feel the pressure I feel at this time. It was even stronger than what he had felt in front of Qiu before.

mystery. In many cases. It is easier to feel panic and stress than cruelty and ruthlessness. Just like this time.

finally. Dongfang Quanzai couldn't bear the silent and mysterious invisible pressure. He endured the growing panic and pressure in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Xu Qingfan. Looking forward to what Xu Qingfan can say. So silent. It was driving him crazy.

"ah!!!"

Dongfang Quan's body trembled suddenly. Let out a exclamation. He couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But it was because Dongfang Quan had just raised his head to look at Xu Qingfan, and saw Xu Qingfan staring closely at his eyes. Unexpectedly, it had become dark, indifferent and ruthless, and his face and the skin exposed outside the clothes , all have strange and complex black pattern patterns. At first glance, they look scary, dangerous, and mysterious.

Accompanying Xu Qingfan's sudden change was the endless cold aura on Xu Qingfan's body, which was actually more compelling than the aura on Qiu's body.

Possessed! !

At this moment, Dongfang Quan suddenly remembered that Xu Qingfan also cultivated magical powers, and demon cultivators were ruthless people. Their ruthless nature and terrifying methods were definitely a nightmare for cultivators of immortality.

After taking a few steps back involuntarily, Dongfang Quan looked at Xu Qingfan again with trembling eyes, but was shocked to find that Xu Qingfan was still the Xu Qingfan he was familiar with. His face was elegant and calm, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, and his aura was still distant and mysterious. , where did the black eyes, black lines and that soul-piercing cold aura appear before?

illusion?

Dongfang Quan thought, but the feeling before was so clear.

After experiencing pressure and fear, seeing the familiar Xu Qingfan again, Dongfang Quan suddenly felt that all his strength had left him, and his body was limp. But for Xu Qingfan, he no longer had any luck, and the defense line in his heart was also gone. Under Xu Qingfan's seemingly unintentional performance, one flaw after another was easily opened. Unconsciously, Xu Qingfan became more and more mysterious in his heart, and his awe of Xu Qingfan was far beyond the limit. His fear of hatred.

Dongfang Quan did not appear, and Xu Qingfan looked at him with a hint of disappointment.

Since the beginning of his debut, the opponents Xu Qingfan has encountered were either Liu Ziqing, monks from the Underworld Organization, descendants of the Zhong family, or Zhang Xusheng and his men. These people were either powerful or tough-minded. Or maybe he has a superb mind. Speaking of which, Xu Qingfan has never encountered a weaker opponent in all the years since his debut.

This kind of experience has certainly allowed Xu Qingfan to improve rapidly in terms of determination, resourcefulness, and strength when playing against these high-level opponents. It has allowed Xu Qingfan to evolve from a chess piece in the hands of others to the chess player he is now, but it has also made Xu Qingfan If you forget, there are still a majority of weak people in the world.

In fact, Xu Qingfan originally thought that he would need to use many methods to subdue Dongfang Quan, but he did not expect that he only stirred up the atmosphere a little, and Dongfang Quan collapsed completely. Was it because his own methods had become stronger? Or this Dongfangquan is too weak.

In any case, Dongfang Quan is really far behind the evil masters he fought against before. And this weak person was actually one of the people Xu Qingfan valued most before.

At this moment, Xu Qingfan suddenly and strongly realized the biggest gap between himself and Zhang Xusheng, Zizhen Immortal, and the ancestor of the Zhong family. His foundation was too shallow. Their subordinates were carefully selected after thousands of years. Everyone can do their job independently. With these subordinates, no matter what they do, they can do everything. Although Xu Qingfan's strength has grown rapidly in recent years, he is more like a nouveau riche, with good and bad subordinates. Without a group of trustworthy subordinates, any coincidental and closely planned plan will only have flaws.

This shortage of manpower does not refer to those powerful monks, but to those commanding talents whose mind and temperament can stand alone.

Taking a closer look, among the monks under Xu Qingfan, only Wang Zegang and Bai Qingfu can be compared with the "dark" high-level leaders of Zhang Xusheng's organization. However, one of them only knows how to act according to the plan, and the other has a close mind. , but their vision is insufficient and they are only suitable for assisting. Although Liu Ziqing and Qiu are no worse than An Luo and Ming Luo under Zhang Xusheng and those other hidden subordinates, it is a pity that they cannot be completely trusted. Zhang Ningmei and Shen Gang have good potential, but lack of experience. As for Others have acceptable combat capabilities, but they cannot be expected to replace Xu Qingfan when necessary.

This also means that even if Xu Qingfan returns to the vast land of China in the future, he will still face the dilemma of insufficient manpower. After all, Xu Qingfan cannot do everything by himself. You must know that when Xu Qingfan returns to the vast land of China in the future, the pressure he will face is not just the Shura clan.

In fact, Xu Qingfan had thought about this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have sent Bai Yu to secretly observe the performance of his monks in the war, and then promoted and demoted them afterwards.

However, seeing Dongfang Quan in front of him, Xu Qingfan felt the gap between the two so obvious for the first time.

In fact, this was also a mistake in Xu Qingfan's plan. The monks extradited to the Seven Islands of Xialing over the years were all monks who hated and even feared the war in the vast land of China and were eager to find a peaceful place. Since they could not bear to live in the vast land of China Under the pressure of the war with the Shura clan, he naturally has a weak character and has no choice. His character is as tough as Jin Qinghan, so how can he be willing to put aside the safety of the entire human race and come to the Seven Islands of Xia Ling to work alone?

But at this time, Xu Qingfan's reputation in the Human Alliance was mixed. When mankind encountered a crisis, he could only recruit such monks first, and for the next plan, he had to greatly expand his strength. This is also The reason why Xu Qingfan established the Tianji Camp on his own, which has a good mental talent, and repeatedly cultivated his sense of pride, even if it makes the monks of the Tianji Camp become extremely annoying, at least it is better than being afraid of fighting. During this period, Xu Qingfan would try every means to provoke a war between the Seven Islands of Xia Ling and the monsters of the East China Sea, cultivate everyone's sense of crisis, strengthen everyone's confidence in him and their determination to return to the vast land of China with him. It is precisely for this reason.

All the thoughts just passed by in a flash, and the next moment, Xu Qingfan suddenly spoke.

"Why?"

When Dongfang Quan heard Xu Qingfan's question, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and quickly replied: "Island Master, you have saved my life three times. How can I, Dongfang Quan, be such an ungrateful person? It's just that back then, Zhang Xu When Sheng Zai noticed that you were cultivating forces outside Jiuhua, he suddenly sent someone to restrain me and put the most vicious 'soul-eating curse' on me. I had no choice but to..."

"I didn't ask you why you betrayed me, I just wanted to ask you that I have treated you well, and you have come to my Xia Ling Island all these years. Even the 'Soul-Eating Curse' cannot hurt you even though we are thousands of miles away. And with my cultivation, it’s not impossible to lift the soul-eating curse on you. Why haven’t you told me the truth for ten years?”

Xu Qingfan shook his head and asked again.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Dongfang Quan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

Xu Qingfan suddenly smiled slightly and said: "If you don't want to say it, let me tell you for you. Do you think that even though my strength has increased over the years, I still can't beat Zhang Xusheng? Do you think that following Zhang Xusheng is better than following me?" There is a future, right? So you are willing to continue working as an undercover agent for Zhang Xusheng and keep reporting my information to Zhang Xusheng, is that true? "

Dongfang Quan looked ashamed and lowered his head, but expressed his acquiescence. However, after Xu Qingfan saw through his mind, his body trembled even more.

Xu Qingfan looked at the increasingly nervous Dongfang Quan, suddenly smiled, and asked: "So, what do you think I should do with you now?"

After Dongfang Quan hesitated for a moment, he knelt in front of Xu Qingfan regardless of the monk's dignity.

"I ask the island master to give me another chance. From now on, I will only obey the island master's orders and I will never betray you again."

Xu Qingfan looked at Dongfang Quan in front of him with great interest and asked: "Are you so afraid of death? Aren't you afraid that one day, as you expected, Zhang Xusheng will defeat me as you expected, and then deal with you again? This double traitor?"

Dongfang Quan lowered his head as before, not daring to answer.

Xu Qingfan suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Well, I'll give you a chance to please both sides. From now on, you continue to be Zhang Xusheng's spy and report to him everything that happened to me, Xialing Seven Islands, how about it?"

Dongfang Quan was slightly stunned and looked up at Xu Qingfan, wondering why Xu Qingfan had such a request.

Xu Qingfan ignored Dongfang Quan's doubts and just continued: "Over the years, there have been a total of sixteen spies in our seven Xia Ling Islands, six of them are Zhang Xusheng's men, and they are the messengers. I have found out the secret code hidden in the letter, and you can do your best to send the letter to Zhang Xusheng on behalf of the other five people in the future. "

Dongfang Quan was finally not too stupid and understood what Xu Qingfan meant. The reason why Xu Qingfan allowed the existence of spies before was to allow these spies to pass on various illusions about the Seven Xia Ling Islands to Zhang Xusheng, and this time the strength of the Seven Xia Ling Islands Obviously, these spies cannot be allowed to continue to exist. Through this operation to eliminate the spies, Xu Qingfan also mastered the methods used by these spies to send letters. The secret messages hidden in the letters wanted to continue to confuse Zhang Xusheng. , but didn’t know how to pass these false news into Zhang Xusheng’s hands.

And this method is the value of Dongfangquan’s continued existence.

After Dongfang Quan understood in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Island Master, every time I send a message to Zhang Xusheng from now on, I will definitely consult the Island Master in advance."

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded, and said: "In that case, you can go down and be more natural when you go back. No one else knows what you have done except me and Qiu. You are still mine from Xialing Seven Islands." "The Five Great Dharma Protectors."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan raised his hand, and a black and white mist suddenly penetrated into Dongfang Quan's body. Suddenly Dongfang Quan felt a chill in his chest, and the tightness in his chest caused by the existence of the "Soul-Eating Curse" suddenly became stronger. reduce.

"Thank you, island owner."

Dongfang Quan couldn't help but be overjoyed and kowtowed to Xu Qingfan one after another with sincerity.

After Dongfang Quan left, the space around Xu Qingfan suddenly fluctuated, and the next moment, Bai Qingfu appeared next to Xu Qingfan.

"Junior Brother Xu, just let him go like this. This guy's performance is nothing more than a standard faggot. I'm afraid he will continue to seek refuge with Zhang Xusheng in the future."

Bai Qingfu stared at Dongfang Quan's retreating figure and said slowly.

Xu Qingfan shook his head and said: "He is a villain, but not a fool. After his identity was revealed, he is still valuable to us, but he is of no value to Zhang Xusheng. He knows how to Made.”

Bai Qingfu nodded, but secretly decided in his heart that he would secretly monitor Dongfang Quan from now on.

Xu Qingfan rubbed the temples on both sides of his eyes. There were too many things to calculate these days, which gave him a headache. After a moment, he sighed: "Back then, Wang Zegang went to the Human Federation for the first time.

, he could have brought back more monks, but under my instructions, he assigned me to collect information and information, and cooperated with you and Wang Zegang to extradite the monks. There are so many spies this time, I'm afraid there is a hidden stake in the Human Alliance. They are all controlled by Zhang Xusheng and Immortal Zizhen and have become their backbone. Let’s sort out the news they have sent over the years. I’m afraid there is something in there that they deliberately misled us, just like what we are doing now. . "

Bai Qingfu nodded and said, "I understand."

After Bai Qingfu also left, Xu Qingfan stood up and walked out of the room.

On the beach outside Yuheng Island, Dongfang Qingling was sitting there quietly, watching the night tide.

Xu Qingfan sat next to Dongfang Qingling, looking in the same direction as Dongfang Qingling, but his brows were furrowed and his eyes were thoughtful, obviously not focusing on the night view of the seaside.

"Are you tired?"

Dongfang Qingling asked. "some."

Xu Qingfan nodded.

"Take a rest, there are many things, no matter how much you think about them, it's useless."

"kindness."

Xu Qingfan nodded again, lay down on the beach next to Dongfang Qingling, and slowly closed his eyes.

For the first time since Xu Qingfan reached the fasting stage in his cultivation, he fell asleep like a mortal, instead of the kind of meditation that could only relieve physical and mental fatigue, but did nothing to relieve the fatigue in his heart.

As Xu Qingfan's breathing gradually became longer, Dongfang Qingling slowly turned her head, no longer looking at the night seascape, but looking at Xu Qingfan with a dazed look in her eyes all night long.

In the night, Xu Qingfan closed his eyes, his brows still slightly wrinkled, as if he was still thinking about something while sleeping.

In the distance, Ting'er stood in front of the window of the room, quietly looking at the two figures sitting and lying in the distance. She also stood quietly all night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Xu Qingfan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and the scorching sun was already setting.

Xu Qingfan raised his head, only to see a small blue umbrella above his head, held by Dongfang Qingling. It seemed to be to shield the strong eyes from the seaside, but most of the shadow of the small umbrella was cast on Xu Qingfan's body.

Xu Qingfan's heart warmed slightly, he stood up and smiled at Dongfang Qingling.

Dongfang Qingling also smiled lightly with Xu Qingfan, then put away the small umbrella in her hand and walked slowly towards Ting'er's house. During this period, the two of them didn't say a word, but they felt so familiar and natural.

Xu Qingfan looked at Dongfang Qingling who was gradually disappearing, a sigh flashed in his eyes.

He never thought that as the top monk in the world, he would one day be like those mortals, closing his six senses tightly and falling asleep unsuspectingly.

Is it because Dongfang Qingling is around?

Xu Qingfan shook his head, but turned around and walked towards his house.

However, this sleep did relieve Xu Qingfan of the fatigue that had accumulated in his heart for countless years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days later.

Ding~~~~"

A series of melodious bell sounds suddenly came from the direction of Mingxin Hall on Tianshu Island. All the cultivators on the Seven Islands of Xialing looked up in amazement. This was the bell sound that Xu Qingfan ordered all the cultivators on the Seven Islands of Xialing to gather. Generally speaking, it only appeared when Xu Qingfan preached or when the Seven Islands of Xialing competed internally. But now, it was not the time for preaching or contempt.

But after that battle, after seeing the power of Xu Qingfan, the cultivators on the Seven Islands of Xialing had already admired Xu Qingfan to the extreme. After hearing the bell sound, they all put down their work and rushed to Mingxin Hall.

Over the years, with the increasing number of cultivators on the Seven Islands of Xialing, Mingxin Hall, as one of the symbols of the Seven Islands of Xialing, has also undergone three expansions. But when all the cultivators who were qualified to enter Mingxin Hall came together, Mingxin Hall was still crowded, and the cultivators who were not qualified to enter Mingxin Hall sat cross-legged outside Mingxin Hall, surrounding Mingxin Hall. Surrounded.

In the Mingxin Hall, on the high platform, Xu Qingfan sat in the middle, Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei, Bai Yu, Tian Zhenxian, Tian Zhenling, Qiu, seven disciples, lined up behind him, Deputy Island Master Liu Ziqing sat next to Xu Qingfan, and below were Wang Zegang, Dongfang Qingling, Bai Qingfu, Zhang Yi, the four elders, and Dongfang Quan and other five guardians, as well as the old beggar Beihai scholar and other twelve worshippers sitting on both sides.

Under the high platform, the stewards of the Seven Camps and Wang Yuxian and other twelve guards sat in a circle, and behind them were the representatives and stewards of the Seven Camps and the low-level cultivators under the Seven Camps. There were nearly five hundred people in total.

These people represented all the power of the Seven Islands of Xialing. Although there were thousands of low-level cultivators outside the Mingxin Hall, it did not affect the overall situation.

After everyone came together, Xu Qingfan slowly stood up, looked around at all the cultivators around him, and then said loudly: "This time, there are a total of four things to summon you all here. "

Xu Qingfan's voice was very soft, but even the cultivators sitting at the outermost edge of Mingxin Hall could hear it clearly.

"First of all, three days ago, we fought a great battle with the monsters in the East China Sea. Our Xialing Seven Islands faced countless powerful monsters, including six heavenly monsters. We won a great victory and collected countless treasures. Here, I will reward you according to your performance in the battle."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan nodded to Shen Gang behind him. Shen Gang stepped out at Xu Qingfan's signal and said loudly: "The rewards are as follows. The greatest merit will be rewarded with two "Immortification Pills" and a rare treasure that can concentrate the mind and gather energy. The second merit will be rewarded with a "Gathering Qi Pill". According to the cultivation level, a magic weapon above the earth level will be rewarded. The third merit will be rewarded with a "Gathering Qi Pill"... The specific list is as follows: Merit, all cultivators in Tianji Camp, all cultivators in Yaoguang Camp, and Senior Old Beggar. The second merit, Guan Zhenren in Tianshu Camp... In addition, the rewards for Taoist friends above the guardian level are calculated separately. "

As Shen Gang's voice continued to sound, the cultivators on the field were calm on the surface, but they were all in an uproar in their hearts.

Although this battle collected countless natural treasures from the corpses of countless monsters, and the cultivators had long known from Shen Gang that they would be rewarded according to merit, they never expected that the rewards would be so generous. There were hundreds of "Immortality Pills" alone, and the natural treasures that could concentrate the mind and gather energy were even more rare. With these two things, those who have made merit will undoubtedly improve their cultivation to a higher level in a short period of time. In comparison, the rewards for making the second merit and the third merit are still generous, but the first level

Compared, But it is far from the truth.

What is the most pressing wish of the monks? It is to greatly improve their strength before their lifespan runs out. When these monks were in the Human Alliance before, after each war, the rewards from the Human Alliance were all formal, and the truly rare treasures were all given to those who were geniuses in their eyes. However, the monks who came to the Seven Islands of Xialing in recent years, except for the members of the Tianji Camp and the twelve guards selected by Xu Qingfan, were not geniuses at all. After coming to the Seven Islands of Xialing, they all got the best elixir and even the legendary "Immortality Pill" to improve their strength. I thought that was the end of it, but I didn't expect that Xu Qingfan would be willing to reward so much in one go for his military exploits.

You know, if these rewards are added together, I'm afraid half of the natural treasures from the corpses of various monsters collected this time will be used up.

It's true that the qualifications of these cultivators are not very good, and it's also true that the elixir is useless when it reaches the Jindan stage. But if there is an endless supply of elixir, combined with the rich spiritual energy of the Seven Islands of Xialing, cultivators who were originally unable to break through to the Jindan stage can break through to the Jindan stage, and cultivators who were originally able to break through to the Jindan stage have a better chance of reaching the Jindan stage...

For a while At that time, everyone was regretting why they didn't do more when the monster attacked. Now they can only watch others with envy. The person who got the first prize, in addition to being more grateful to Xu Qingfan, was also extremely proud.

For a moment, the fighting spirit that had long been hidden deep in everyone's heart burned fiercely.

Xu Qingfan looked at the eyes of the crowd and smiled slightly. He just wanted to provoke these people's fighting spirit and let them who were determined to avoid fighting develop into a powerful monk fighting group that lived on fighting.

However, all this was not enough. Although such a reward made people jealous, it only lasted for a while.

Then, after Shen Gang's announcement, Xu Qingfan began to announce his second decision.

"My second decision is that starting from today, the Tianji Camp and the Yaoguang Camp will be separated from the Qisu Camp to form the Tianzuo Camp and the Tianyou Camp, becoming the main combat forces of our Xialing Seven Islands. In addition, based on this, I Based on the performance of fellow Taoists in the battle, 30 people who were calm and steady in times of crisis were selected to form the Tianxin Camp. They were responsible for assisting me and several other guardian elders in directing the daily affairs of Xialing Seven Islands, as well as the rewards and punishments for merits and demerits. Tianzuo Camp, Tianyou Camp, and Tianxin Camp are the inner three camps of our Xia Ling Seven Islands, while some monks from the other five camps were separated to rebuild the Qisu Camp, which is the outer seven camps of our Xia Ling Seven Islands. Responsible for patrolling, defense, assisting the Inner Third Battalion, etc. The daily offerings of the Inner Third Battalion will be three times that of the Outer Seventh Battalion, and they will have the privilege of having seniors such as the old beggar tailor custom-made utensils. The members of the Inner Three Battalions are not stable. If your strength and military exploits reach a certain level, or your mental command power passes the assessment, you can be transferred to the Inner Three Battalions, enjoy the offerings of the Inner Three Battalions, and practice The unique skills of the inner three camps, and if the monks in the inner three camps are slack, they will fall into the outer seven camps. "

As Xu Qingfan finished speaking, there was another uproar.

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly. Incentive mechanisms and differences in treatment are methods commonly used in the mortal army. It seems that they are also useful in cultivating immortals.

But this time Xu Qingfan specially formed the Tianxin camp from those monks with calm minds and stable personalities provided by Bai Yu, but he began to train his own talents.

However, Xu Qingfan's more important decision has not yet been announced.

"Everyone has seen the battle three days ago. Except for Tianji Camp and Yaoguang Camp, the other five camps of monks are unable to resist except controlling formations for defense. Our Xia Ling Seven Islands are far away from the chaos of the vast land of China. False, but it does not mean that our Xia Ling Seven Islands are safe. Not to mention that the Shura tribe will definitely gather and attack after discovering our existence. The countless monsters in the East China Sea are not as harmful as the Shura tribe, so my third item The decision is that starting from today, the Outer Seventh Battalion, under the coordination of the Tianzuo Tianyou Battalion and the arrangement of the Tianxin Battalion, will regularly leave the island and go deep into the East China Sea for training. The monsters killed in the East China Sea and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the corpses, You can keep half of it and find seniors such as the old beggar and Beihai scholar to refine magical weapons. During the period, the merit accumulated will be calculated and registered by Tianxin camp. After reaching a certain level, the monks from the outer seventh camp can enter the inner third camp. "

There was another uproar. The resources in the East China Sea were endless, but they had not been utilized for tens of thousands of years. However, Xu Qingfan was determined to become a pirate this time, and he also took the opportunity to cultivate the combat experience and bloody spirit of his monks.

Although the resources of the Seven Xia Ling Islands are abundant, they are still far less than what the Human Alliance has accumulated over countless years. The reason why the Seven Xia Ling Islands seem to be far richer than the Human Alliance is because the number of monks in the Human Alliance is hundreds of times greater. On the Seven Islands of Xialing, Xu Qingfan has been eager for quick success and profit over the years, and has not thought about the long term and savings. However, for the next step of development, Xu Qingfan must make plans for the East China Sea.

As Xu Qingfan gave three consecutive orders, all the monks became excited. They were promoted to the inner third camp. With higher offerings, better skills, a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, a rapid improvement in strength seemed to be around the corner. , and with Tianzuo Camp and Tianyou Camp cooperating, they are not afraid of any too dangerous encounters...

For a time, every monk was so impatient.

In fact, Xu Qingfan's decisions are mostly for preparations for the future. According to Xu Qingfan's plan, the Zhong family will be destroyed in half a year. By that time, the number of monks who have taken refuge in the Seven Islands of Xialing will inevitably increase greatly, and their quality will also be far greater. They are much higher than the monks of the Seventh Outer Camp in front of them, and Xu Qingfan's mechanisms allow them to form combat effectiveness faster and integrate into the Seven Xia Ling Islands as soon as possible, increasing their sense of identification with the Seven Xia Ling Islands. As for Now, according to Xu Qingfan's many years of observation, the monks have found that all the elites from the Seven Islands of Xialing have entered the inner third camp, and the current monks of the outer seventh camp, to be honest, in Xu Qingfan's opinion, they have all reached their respective limits. In the future, it will just be to build momentum and increase Xu Qingfan's voice after returning to the Human Alliance.

However, it is always good for people to have a little hope.

Xu Qingfan ignored everyone's whispers and directly began to announce the fourth order.

Tianxin Camp is co-chaired by Shen Gang and Zhang Ningmei. One is responsible for overall control and the other is responsible for supervision. After all, Tianxin Camp has become the command center of Xialing Seven Islands from now on. It has great power and must be restricted and controlled. Tianzuo Camp is led by Bai Yu The main one is Tian Zhenxian and Tian Zhenling. The Tianyou camp is mainly Qiu Wei, and the Twelve Daluo and Huangquan Baigui are the supplementary ones. The Qisu Camp is still controlled by Wang Zegang and the five guardians. However, Dongfang Quan, who originally controlled the Tianzuo Camp, has now become the head of the newly formed Yaoguang Camp, which is the weakest. He has been deprived of his power invisibly, except for the A few have intentions

People care.

Then, Xu Qingfan began to announce the fifth decision.

"Some time ago, fifteen fellow Taoists including Uncle Wang, Huang Xuan, and Niu Meng disappeared at the same time. I guess all the fellow Taoists have been doubtful these days."

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, everyone quickly became quiet. They all stared at Xu Qingfan and waited for Xu Qingfan's answer. The disappearance of these people in the past three days has caused a lot of discussion and speculation among the monks in Xialing Seven Islands. Judging from Xu Qingfan's tone, the disappearance of these people seems to be related to him.

"In fact, I sent people to arrest these people because they were all spies of Zhang Xusheng and the Zhong family. According to the torture, it was Zhang Xusheng who was coveting the resources and strength of our Xia Ling Seven Islands and was preparing to take China to China. The flames of war in the vast land have reached our seven Xia Ling islands.”

Xu Qingfan's words were plain, but they shocked the monks even more than the four decisions just now. Over the years, these monks have developed a sense of belonging to the Seven Xia Ling Islands, but Zhang Xusheng and the Zhong family actually wanted to turn this paradise into a paradise. Destroy?

No one knew that Xu Qingfan had the idea of ​​returning to the vast land of China, so no one doubted the authenticity of Xu Qingfan's words. Suddenly some impatient people were already angrily cursing Zhang Xusheng and the Zhong family.

Xu Qingfan's face was calm, but the great pressure slowly coming out of his body made everyone calm down involuntarily. They all looked towards Xu Qingfan.

"When Taoist friends Wang Zegang and Bai Qingfu brought you to the Seven Islands of Xia Ling, they told you that this place is a paradise with many resources, suitable for cultivation, and it is not as chaotic as the vast land of China. Over the past ten years, fellow Taoists should also know that our Xia Ling Seven Islands are indeed like this. However, although our Xia Ling Seven Islands have never participated in those disputes, the battle with the East China Sea monsters three days ago has proved that Our strength will be stronger in the future! If anyone tries to take advantage of us, we are not afraid of them, whether it is the Zhong family or Zhang Xusheng!"

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, all the monks' bodies trembled. They couldn't help but think, yes, we were quite victorious when six heaven-level monsters came with countless monsters. Why are we still afraid of the Zhong family and Zhang Xusheng? Even if their strength is lower than them, they will never dare to attack rashly.

"Zhang Xusheng is from the Human Alliance. It is not convenient for us to do anything now. But the Zhong family is close to Donghai, so it is obvious that he has ulterior motives for doing this. But we are not afraid of them. With our strength, there is no telling who will destroy whom! !”

"that is!!"

"If he messes with us again, we will go to the gathering place of the Zhong family to teach them a lesson. The island owner, the island owner Qiu Shao, the deputy island owner, and elder Wang Zegang, we have four masters, can we still not defeat the ancestor of the Zhong family?"

Under Xu Qingfan's prior arrangements, the crowd was immediately indignant. However, some of what was said was indeed too false. There were indeed four master-level masters in the Seven Islands of Xia Ling, but they were all one level lower than the ancestors of the Zhong family. Even though Together, who is the opponent of the ancestor of the Zhong family? Not to mention the seven strange corpses under the ancestor of the Zhong family.

In fact, Xu Qingfan never thought of fighting against the Zhong family with his strength.

Xu Qingfan looked around, but now under his deliberate arrangement, many monks were aroused and wanted to attack the Zhong family immediately. However, more monks remained calm and were not exaggerated. , how can monks control their thoughts and exaggerate their emotions as easily as ordinary people?

But Xu Qingfan didn't care. All he needed was a reason to attack the Zhong family in half a year, and it was enough to sow some seeds of resentment against the Zhong family in the hearts of these monks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amidst the discussions among the monks, the Xia Ling Seven Islands Conference finally came to an end.

After all the monks from the ten inner and outer camps and other low-level monks left, only the high-level monks above the Dharma Protector and Enshrinement Hall were left in the Mingxin Hall.

"Senior Old Beggar, have the various formation mechanisms outside the Seven Islands of Xia Ling begun to be repaired?"

Xu Qingfan turned around and asked.

The old beggar nodded and replied: "We have already started to prepare materials. In this battle, all the peripheral mechanisms, puzzle formations and small formations were destroyed. Most of the 'Xiaguang Formation' and 'Disaster Cloud Formation' were also destroyed. It will take at least three to two months to fully recover.”

Xu Qingfan nodded and said with a smile: "Senior, don't worry. According to my estimation, those monsters are unlikely to come back in a short time. However... the escaped Canglong is a hidden danger."

With that said, Xu Qingfan turned to Liu Ziqing and Qiu and asked, "I'll leave the matter of chasing Cang Long to you. Are you ready?"

"Ready."

Liu Ziqing had been watching Xu Qingfan's performance quietly just now. After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, his eyes flashed and he laughed.

"Ready for action."

Qiu bowed and replied.

Xu Qingfan muttered: "In that case, let's start the hunt tomorrow. This kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later."

"yes."

Liu Ziqing and Qiu both responded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day later, Xu Qingfan personally sent Qiu and Liu Ziqing away at Taohai Cliff. Looking at their retreating figures, he suddenly smiled.

Before completely solving the Zhong family, Xu Qingfan had no confidence in controlling these two people. However, before entering the Xuanjing treasure house, Xu Qingfan had to return to the vast land of China. In order to stabilize the situation on the seven islands of Xia Ling, the two men had to be brought together. People move away.

The day after Liu Ziqing and Qiu left, Xu Qingfan announced that he would begin seclusion for a period of three to five months.

Three days later, Xu Qingfan returned to the vast land of China alone.

Seven days later, Xu Qingfan arrived in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou, close to the Southern Wilderness, is famous all over the world because the Black Emperor Cliff where the battle between good and evil ten thousand years ago and the battle between humans and the Shura tribe 40 years ago is located here.

At the same time, the "soul-eating insect" that terrified the world was also sealed here.
