This time, Xu Qing deployed the power of his own rules and flew within the area he was guarding, looking for suitable prisoners here. At the same time, he also took out the jade slips and screened the list.

What he was looking for were those who were in the state of Nascent Soul Dzogchen when they were captured. This type of prisoner here was only one step away from suffering a catastrophe.

Xu Qing quickly locked onto four of them and used the power of rules to search for them. Not long after, he found a monk from the Flying Wing Clan.

The prisoner was hiding in a cave underground and was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

And the next moment, as the place where he lived roared, the earth collapsed, and a huge gap opened. Amid the roar, the expression of the Feiyi clansman changed.

Although his reaction was quick, it was of no use due to his absolute strength.

A powerful force fell from the sky, directly ingesting his body and forcibly dragging him into the air.

He was not allowed to refuse, nor was he allowed to struggle at all.

Under the rules, with Xu Qing's cultivation and combat power here, he can crush all prisoners.

So in an instant, the Yuan Ying of the Flying Wing Tribe, who was so powerful outside and could kill Xu Qing with one hand, was grabbed by the neck by Xu Qing.

"grown ups."

Although he felt aggrieved in his heart, the Flying Wing monk still spoke cautiously, with a flattering expression on his face.

Xu Qing didn't speak, his eyes were cold. After careful inspection, he threw the flying wing clan aside, then took out a few pills and passed them over.

These elixirs contain rich spiritual energy and are good elixirs outside, but here they are even more precious. The Feiyi Tribe prisoner was stunned when he saw them, but the expression in his eyes was not joy, but hesitation.

He knew very well that there must be a monster if something went wrong, so he looked at Xu Qing anxiously.

"Sir, this..."

"Are you going to eat it yourself, or should I cripple you and stuff it in?" Xu Qing said calmly.

The Feiyi Tribe prisoner felt angry in his heart, but he suppressed it. He knew the consequences if he didn't comply, so he gritted his teeth, picked up the pills, and ate them all.

But he kept a careful eye on controlling the speed of absorption.

Xu Qing frowned and directly dropped his palm. During the roar, the Flying Wing monk let out a shrill scream. His body almost collapsed and he fell down dying.

But it was just a physical weakness, and the spiritual energy in his body recovered quickly with the integration of the elixir. After checking it, Xu Qing felt that it was not enough, so he opened his mouth and threw in a few more pills.

The next moment, after these elixirs melted, a wave of impending breakthrough emitted from the Flying Wing monk.

He was at the limit of Nascent Soul when he was captured. Over the years, he has reached the level of breakthrough. However, promotion to Lingzang requires Heavenly Dao, which he obviously does not have, so the breakthrough must fail.

But... regardless of whether it is a failure or not, it does not affect the rules of heaven and earth that are triggered here to form the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

This kind of fluctuation immediately shocked the Flying Wing monk. He knew what Xu Qing was going to do. He was about to speak, but it was too late. The sky was suddenly filled with wind and clouds, and the clouds of calamity filled the air.

The Flying Wing monk made a sharp sound, jumped up suddenly, and galloped into the distance. He kept bombarding himself, hoping to suppress his cultivation and dispel the catastrophe.

But before he could take action a few times, his whole body trembled, his body paused, and he showed a fanatical and exaggerated expression, but there was panic in his eyes.

As if his body was being controlled, he forcibly turned around, knelt down to Xu Qing, and spoke loudly.

"Lord...I am willing...to...die...!"

The unfavorable words meant that the shadow's control over him was unstable. At this moment, the flying wing tribe was struggling even more fiercely as he spoke. His expression changed, and his fanatical expression quickly dissipated. His expression became distorted, and he was about to break free.

At this moment, thunder roared in the sky, and the heavenly sword composed of countless lightnings suddenly fell towards the flying wing tribe below.

At the moment of arrival, the shadow left, and the Winged Tribe, who had returned to normal, had no possibility of dodge. Amidst the shrill screams, they were chopped down by the Heavenly Sword.

The roar echoed and spread in all directions.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged in his original position, not paying attention to the dying Feiyi Tribe prisoner who had been beheaded and had his Daoji removed. He looked up at the Heavenly Sword and realized it again.

Three hundred breaths of time passed by in a flash.

As the calamity cloud slowly dissipated, the Heavenly Sword also dissipated, and Xu Qing's eyes showed thoughts.

After a while, he stood up and stepped forward, going to another area to look for another suitable specimen.

In this way, time passed and several days passed.

As Xu Qing tried and understood again and again, the day agreed with Ning Yan came.

On this day, the sky was full of orange at dusk, forming a brilliant light. It flowed on the earth like water, and also fell on the roof square of the Record Office of the Sword Holding Palace.

There, there were many sword holders lined up in long queues.

They are all candidates from various states.

Some of them looked anxious and were waiting hard, Ning Yan was one of them.

He looked into the distance from time to time, feeling uneasy and worrying about gains and losses. He had been waiting for a long time.

A few tables behind him, there sat a middle-aged sword-holder with a solemn expression. This man had cultivated a golden elixir, and there was a faint flash of lightning in his eyes. He was obviously from the ancient thunder lineage and had good fluctuations.

At this moment, he looked up at the seven or eight candidates who were constantly looking into the distance, and spoke calmly.

"Most of the candidate recommendation records have been completed, it's just you who are left."

"Have you found the recommender for this term from Tongzhou?"

The seven or eight candidates all looked bitter, some opened their mouths to explain, and some remained silent.

Ning Yan quickly nodded and bowed to the middle-aged sword holder.

"Please wait a moment, my recommender promised to come back."

"Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged sword holder frowned and spoke slowly.

Ning Yan hesitated and did not say Xu Qing's name. Now he was not sure whether the other party would really come. If he said it but didn't come, the matter would become a joke to him.

In addition, this time the candidate was evaluated at the same time as people of the same status from other states. In order to win the first place among the candidates, there was fierce competition between them, and some conflicts were inevitable.

At this moment, there were three young and energetic teenagers in the crowd, who had had friction with him.

When these three people saw that Ning Yan was anxious and did not mention the recommender, their expressions flashed with ridicule. Although it was not that obvious, Ning Yan still saw it.

This look made Ning Yan feel a little uncomfortable.

One of them even chuckled.

"The candidate ranked first in the candidate assessment, but no one came to recommend him. This shows his character."

Ning Yan was silent.

The middle-aged sword holder had an expressionless face. He didn't pay attention to the comments of these young and energetic teenagers. There were many such people. After all, everyone had different personalities. Some were gloomy, while others were direct.

But everything will change after becoming a sword bearer.

So he looked through Ning Yan's resume and noticed that he was from Yinghuangzhou. He raised his head unexpectedly and glanced at Ning Yan.

"Are you from the same state as Brother Xu Qing?"

Ning Yan nodded when he heard this.

Among the three candidates who had conflicts with him, some chuckled.

"Brother Xu Qing has so much glory but is unwilling to recommend someone, it really shows that someone has some problems."

"I have worked so hard to be ranked first among the candidates, and it is very useful."

"You are looking for death!" Ning Yan looked gloomy and looked around. He saw that the other party had provoked him several times. Coupled with his anxiety at the moment, anger inevitably rose in his heart.

"Why, you have to fight us again here!" The three young men looked at Ning Yan with evil eyes. They just wanted to anger Ning Yan.

Ning Yan gritted his teeth, anger gradually rising in his eyes.

As for the middle-aged swordsman in the record office, he looked at this scene with cold eyes. Similar things happened every time among the newly promoted candidates. After all, there will naturally be conflicts in places with many people, so he spoke calmly.

"If there is a conflict, go out and resolve it before coming back."

When the three young men heard this, they immediately took off into the air, and one of them pointed at Ning Yan.

"Aren't you the substitute who stole our limelight? Do you dare to come and fight again!"

"What you said is wrong. Why wouldn't Ning Yan dare to do it? He wants to wait for his recommendation, so he can't fight with us, right? Ning Yan, I've already thought of the reasons for his refusal."

Another young man among the three people smiled and spoke.

A cold light flashed in Ning Yan's eyes, and he was about to fly out, but at this moment, a calm voice came from far away.

"Ning Yan, I was delayed because of something, so I came a little late."

As the sound came, the roar also echoed, and in the distant sky, a figure quickly approached.

In the twilight, this person's long hair is fluttering, and he is dressed in a white Taoist robe that looks better than snow. Together with his handsome face, everyone who sees him will instinctively attract their attention.

It was Xu Qing.

Xu Qing does not agree to others easily. Once he agrees, he will definitely do it.

Since he agreed to recommend Ning Yan before, he would not deliberately delay the time. In fact, during this period, he was busy understanding the Dao-Severing Blade, so he came late today.

As for Ning Yan's displeasure, there are still some things that displease him, but since the captain thinks this person is useful, Xu Qing is prepared to observe him more.

As soon as he arrived, all the candidate disciples in the Record Office were shocked, and they all showed respect in their eyes, and they all paid homage to him. The three young men who had conflicts with Ning Yan were also shocked, and they quickly bowed their heads, not daring to continue making trouble.

.

In fact, Xu Qing's reputation is quite good in the Sword Holding Palace now. He is known as one of the monsters of this generation. Especially several monsters of this generation are said to have good personal relationships and stick together. If you provoke one of them, you will provoke them.
