Outside Of Time

442 In This Lifetime, We’ll Travel Together

“Worth it, worth it!”

Xu Qing’s magic warship had already left the core area of Three Spirits Suppression Mountain and was speeding in the distance, putting an extremely great distance between it and the battlefield behind it.

The captain lay sprawled on the deck, regaining his original appearance. He was panting but his eyes were shining with satisfaction.

He even burped a few times from time to time, looking like he was stuffed.

“Haha, it’s still more reliable to do big things with you, Little Qing. I’m actually unscathed this time. This is unprecedented.” The more the captain thought about it, the more smug he became. He simply sat up and patted the deck, producing popping sounds.

“You don’t know, Little Qing. Previously, when I did big things with Zhang San, I always lost a limb or two!”

“It is even worse when I go do them alone. There were a few times when I almost lost my head. Moreover, that brat Zhang San always took away good things.”

The captain sighed with emotion.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, still hiding his true appearance. When he heard this, he glanced at the captain. He didn’t believe it.

Realizing that Xu Qing was looking at him, the captain blinked. His mind was fully active but his expression didn’t reveal it at all as he continued to sigh.

“You know me. I value loyalty and friendship. Zhang San is a good brother. Since he wanted them, I’m embarrassed not to give them to him.”

“Hence, every time, I give him a large share while I take a very little share. Sigh, it’s not like with you, Junior Brother, where we always split half each. This is what fairness is.”

When the captain lied, his face wasn’t red and his heart didn’t race. He was even more sincere.

Xu Qing instantly became vigilant and vaguely guessed the captain’s thoughts.

“Junior Brother, why are you looking at me like that? Oh, oh, oh, I understand. You want me to set an example, right? No problem. We’re from the same sect and we’re good brothers. Half each is a very good way to distribute.”

“As the eldest senior brother, I’ll set an example first. I’ll erase half of the three million spirit stones you owe me.”

The captain patted his chest. However, he had said too much and his mouth was too wide open, so much so that the immortal Qi of the clone he had absorbed earlier drifted out of his mouth.

The captain hurriedly shut up. He didn’t want the good stuff he had obtained with great difficulty to dissipate just like that.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain. He knew what the captain meant.

“Captain, I’m preparing to enter closed-door cultivation.”

“Little Qing, it’s not a good habit to eat alone!” The captain saw that Xu Qing was pretending to be confused and was a little anxious. He hurriedly spoke but as soon as he spoke, immortal Qi drifted out again.

Xu Qing blinked and noticed that after the captain’s immortal Qi spread out, the shadow on the deck that couldn’t be seen by outsiders was rapidly absorbing it. Hence, he expressionlessly took out an apple and threw it to the captain.

The captain instinctively took it and lifted his head to look at Xu Qing with some hesitation.

“Junior Brother, be good.”

“Understood.” Xu Qing nodded seriously. After that, he closed his eyes and began to materialize the third Heavenly Palace in his body. He was going to add his Poison Restriction Pill next.

Although this process was a little risky, Xu Qing had observed the poison pill before. On one hand, this pill was a semi-finished product. On the other hand, because too much time had passed, its spirituality was withering.

This was even more obvious after coming into contact with the outside world. Once it finally transformed into a dead pill, it would be like sourceless water that couldn’t be regenerated and its value would be greatly reduced.

Hence, it would naturally be best if he could do it as soon as possible. At the same time, he was also weighing his gains from this trip.

This time, his harvest was incomparably great. His storage bag was filled with a lot of items and many nourishing treasures inside. There were also those mirrors and bottles. These were very helpful to the shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor.

He had gained a lot, so Xu Qing couldn’t check them one by one. Hence, what he focused on was the immortal Qi accumulated in his sea of consciousness and his Ghost Emperor Mountain.

At that moment, under Xu Qing’s restraint, the Ghost Emperor Mountain didn’t continue to devour the immortal Qi in his sea of consciousness. The blurry outline of its face already had 20 to 30% of Xu Qing’s appearance.

Xu Qing didn’t know what would happen if this continued. He planned to ask his master before deciding.

Other than that, there was also the Dao Blood that he seized.

Xu Qing didn’t know what use this blood had but he could sense the tremors emitted by the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness. Although the vitality emitted by this blood was alright, what it contained more of was Dao charm.

Through his previous observation and analysis, this item should be one of the methods Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy used to control her clone.

While Xu Qing was deep in thought, the captain eagerly looked over. He was very envious of the Dao Blood Xu Qing had obtained.

However, after all, it was Xu Qing who had obtained it, so it wasn’t good for him to ask for it directly. Previously, he had laid the groundwork to hint for this blood.

His expression gradually became bitter and there was a hint of bleakness. He lifted his head and took out a flask of wine, taking a big gulp.

“Life is hard.”

“This time, I lost more than 20 magic artifacts that resisted pressure and more than 40 concealment magic artifacts. Most importantly, the hidden danger in my body is showing signs of erupting. Junior Brother, you might not have a Eldest Senior Brother one day.”

Xu Qing opened his eyes and glanced at the captain. He then took out a small bottle and tossed it over.

That bottle contained 30% of the blood.

“Is it enough?” Xu Qing asked.

The captain quickly took it and all the difficulties on his face disappeared. He was beaming with joy and laughed loudly.

“Enough, enough. Junior Brother, this is too kind of you. If there’s anything in the future, Eldest Senior Brother will definitely be on your side!” As he spoke, he drank it in one gulp. His body suddenly trembled and after a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, revealing excitement.

“I can open another seal!”

“Little Qing, Eldest Senior Brother isn’t petty either. This is for you!” In his excitement, the captain took out a box and threw it to Xu Qing.

“This is an item I once discovered in a ruin. Just now, I saw that the woman in red bullied you with her weapon, so I thought of giving this to you. You can forge a handle later and it will be usable.”

Xu Qing took it and opened it. Inside was an extremely sharp black dagger-blade prototype that emitted a cold light.

There were also some natural patterns on it that formed the shape of an eye, emitting a sinister feeling.

Xu Qing liked it immediately. He indeed lacked a suitable dagger. Although the soul fire could transform into a dagger, he still felt like he was lacking something when he held it in his hand.

He looked at the captain sincerely.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“There’s no need to thank me. We’ll continue to do great things in the future. I’m planning it now. However, the most important thing for us now is to turn our gains this time into our own strength as soon as possible. After that, we’ll go to the Sword Holding Court and compete to become Sword Holders!”

The captain’s eyes lit up. Becoming a Sword Holder was already his obsession.

“Believe in me, Junior Brother. Only by becoming a Sword Holder will we have the qualifications to step into the core of the human race in the future! Yinghuang Province is ultimately too small, and this world is extremely vast. Boundless future and beautiful things are waiting for us!”

“I want to enter the Grand Imperial Capital Region. I want to cultivate the emperor-level cultivation arts of the human race. I want to travel through the Wanggu Continent and stir up the wind and clouds. I also want to take a look at that so-called holy land!”

“I want too much, so I’m even crazier. Junior Brother, let’s travel together in this life!”

Hearing the captain’s words, a deep glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. After a long time, he nodded and firmly remembered these words.

Let’s travel together in this life.

When Yanyan saw this scene, she blinked and quickly spoke.

“You can bring me along too.”

At the same time as Xu Qing and the other two fled in the magic warship, the war on Three Spirits Suppression Mountain also reached its climax. This time, the Sword Holding Court was extremely well-prepared and was determined to win.

Even though Three Spirits Suppression Mountain used a Taboo magic treasure, a huge palace appeared and suppressed everything.

In the direction of the Ghost Emperor Mountain, the seven fiends transformed from the Ghost Emperor’s seven spirits sensed this matter and wanted to come to support. However, they were stopped by another group from the Sword Holding Court who were long prepared.

The direction of this war was already determined and couldn’t be changed. In the end, the third of the Three Spirits, Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy, was suppressed by the Sword Holding Court. Their target for this time was her.

This was because she was the weakest and most suitable to be suppressed and captured alive.

As long as they controlled one of the three souls, it would be impossible for the Ghost Emperor to revive. This was the best battle result they could hope for. If they continued the battle, even if the Sword Holding Court was powerful, it would still be a headache.

After all, the decree given by the county emphasized stability. If they were too entangled in this matter and the county was alerted, even if they suppressed the Three Spirits, it would show their incompetence.

As such, after capturing Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy alive, the Sword Holding Court chose to leave.

As for the first and second among the Three Spirits, they remained in silence and didn’t stop the Sword Holding Court. They were old fellows who had lived for so many years. At the start, they might have been puzzled about this matter, but it was clear now.

The youngest naturally wouldn’t die. To a certain extent, it was equivalent to being a hostage.

After the war ended and the Sword Holding Court left, in another direction of Three Spirits Suppression Mountain, on the top of a tall mountain that was some distance away.

Under the red glow of dusk in the sky, as the mountain wind blew, a red robe fluttered in the wind.

The red-clothed woman carried the evil ghost scythe that was as long as a person and stood there, looking in the direction of the Three Spirits.

There was a scar on her neck that had still not healed.

The scar was very large and looked shocking. If it was a little deeper, it would be able to cut open her blood vessels and throat.

A long time later, the woman in red turned her head and looked in the direction Xu Qing’s group had left. The sharpness in her eyes gradually intensified.

A soft laugh rang out from under the white mask that was filled with some cracks.

“Memorize two names!”

As the red-clothed woman’s voice rang out, the evil ghost on the scythe opened its eyes and transmitted its divine sense.

“Names?”

“One is Mad Dog and the other is Ghost Hand!” The red-clothed woman calmly spoke.

The evil ghost immediately nodded and memorized these two names. As long as the other party appeared in the range of its perception in the future, it would be able to sense them immediately.

“By the way, recite the names of those I didn’t kill off. I’m afraid I’ll forget them.”

“Word Dog, Fossil, Auntie, Six Fingers, Donkey Head…” The evil ghost mentioned one title after another. There were more than a hundred of them, and the red-clothed woman listened as she walked into the distance.

A small stone had appeared in her hand at some point in time. She held it and placed it on the scar on her neck, gently rubbing it.

This small stone was very strange. As she rubbed the wound, the scar gradually faded and disappeared.

“I just need to complete a few more missions and I’ll be able to obtain higher authority and be allowed to leave the Yinghuang Province. At that time, I can make a trip to the scavenger campsite.”

In the wind, her red dress reflected the setting sun.

She walked further and further away.

Farther away, on the magic ship, Xu Qing took out a bamboo slip.

After some thought, the killing intent in the red-clothed woman’s eyes when she looked at him appeared in his mind. As such, he engraved a name on it.

Red woman.
