Outside Of Time

555 A Cup of Turbid Wine, Drinking in a Group (2)

“If it’s the Bizarre Fiend Race, I’ll give you a gift later. I killed one of them before and it left something behind.”

After saying that, he saw that Xu Qing seemed to be about to speak. Hence, he smiled and waved his hand.

“No need to refuse between brothers.”

Upon hearing Kong Xianglong’s words, Xu Qing glanced at him and nodded. Then, Shan He and Wang Chen joined in the discussion. They didn’t hold back and showcased their own cultivation techniques, without hiding anything.

This inspired Xu Qing greatly, as he gained more insights into the spells of the three great sects. He was particularly intrigued by Night Spirit’s demon transformation technique.

“The demon transformation technique is a unique technique of the sect. It’s said that this technique has an extremely long history. However, due to the sect’s rules, I can’t say much. You can learn it yourself.” Noticing Xu Qing’s curiosity about this technique, Night Spirit spoke while eating the flesh melon seeds.

“I can tell you simply that cultivating this technique isn’t difficult. What’s difficult is that you have to comprehend the sect’s great demon totem and move it in your sea of consciousness. When you reach a certain level, you can use the demon transformation technique to transform it into the great demon.”

She even displayed it.

Xu Qing’s mind shook. He thought of his Ghost Emperor Mountain. To a certain extent, his Ghost Emperor Mountain could also be seen as a great demon.

In that case, if he mastered the demon transformation technique, wouldn’t he be able to make use of this cultivation art to manifest the Ghost Emperor Mountain?

This method was much simpler than what his master had said.

Xu Qing was instantly tempted.

“If you like it, then go and learn it.” Kong Xianglong smiled.

“The three great sects have a close relationship with the Sword Holding Palace, so they have an agreement with each other. Any Sword Holder can spend a certain amount of military contribution points to learn spells from the three great sects.”

This was the first time Xu Qing had heard of this. He nodded in interest, already making plans to learn this demon transformation technique when he returned.

At that moment, it was almost noon. After resting and recovering for a while, everyone got up and started to hurry onward.

The journey back was smooth, without any unexpected events. Kong Xianglong and the others became more familiar with Xu Qing during the journey. It was only before the last teleportation that Kong Xianglong spoke to Xu Qing in a low voice.

“Xu Qing, I’m not trying to sow discord but let me remind you. Be careful of your eldest senior brother. I don’t think he’s a good person.”

“That’s right. Chen Erniu has a shifty look on his face. With his ten feet of light, I will think it normal if he betrays us one day.” Shan He also looked like he deeply agreed.

When Xu Qing heard this, he spoke seriously.

“My eldest senior brother and I have experienced many life-and-death situations. He’s one of the people I trust the most.”

Kong Xianglong didn’t say anything else and patted Xu Qing’s shoulder. As the light of the teleportation shone, everyone’s figures disappeared.

When they reappeared, they weren’t directly in the Sword Holding Palace but in a valley not far from the county capital.

There was a small teleportation array there that was usually hidden. It was Kong Xianglong’s secret base.

This was Kong Xianglong’s plan and his experience.

He felt that if they appeared through the teleportation array in the Sword Holding Palace, there would definitely be a record.

Hence, he chose to teleport to this valley. This way, the risk of being discovered would be lower. Moreover, after a few days, they could deny that they had just returned.

“I secretly set up this place. Until now…” In the valley’s teleportation array, Kong Xianglong smiled and spoke to Xu Qing and the others. However, before he could finish speaking, the teleportation array instantly activated on its own.

At the next instant, everyone’s figures disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in the teleportation array on the square in the Sword Holding Palace.

As they appeared, everyone panicked. They saw the Palace Master standing outside the array with a solemn expression that seemed to contain a haze as he coldly looked at them.

Clearly, what Kong Xianglong thought of as a secret array formation had long been modified by the Palace Master. He had also specially waited for them here.

Kong Xianglong’s body trembled slightly, and Shan He and the others also felt guilty. Xu Qing lowered his head and was prepared to be reprimanded and punished.

As a Sword Holder, it wasn’t a small matter to disobey the rules in a mission.

However, after waiting for a long time, the Palace Master still didn’t speak. Hence, Xu Qing lifted his head slightly and noticed that the Palace Master’s gaze was sizing up each of them carefully, as though he was checking their injuries.

Xu Qing wasn’t the only one who lifted his head. The others also lifted their heads in surprise.

Looking at the gazes of the five people in front of him, the Palace Master snorted coldly.

“What are you standing here for? Aren’t the others teleporting? Hurry up and leave!”

With that, the Palace Master turned and left with a cold expression.

It was as though he had come this time to see if their injuries were too serious. At this moment, he discovered that all of them were energetic and lively, so he was relieved.

“Strange!”

“There’s actually no punishment!”

“Is he concerned about us?” Everyone looked at each other in surprise. At that moment, they hurriedly walked out of the array formation and dispersed.

Xu Qing also heaved a sigh of relief. He looked in the direction the Palace Master had left in and suddenly felt that the other party wasn’t that unreasonable. Hence, his body swayed and he left the Sword Holding Palace.

At that moment, in the Sword Holding Palace, Yao Yunhui and Zhang Siyun were heading out.

Yao Yunhui was very dissatisfied with her son’s position. She had invited Zhang Siyun’s grandmaster, Deacon Sima, many times but the other party kept on refusing.

Hence, she had no choice but to personally come and talk to him today.

Now that the conversation was over, she was about to leave with Zhang Siyun when she suddenly saw Xu Qing leaving.

Zhang Siyun also saw Xu Qing and disgust appeared in his eyes. However, he didn’t notice his mother’s expression. When she stared at Xu Qing’s back view, she actually looked a little dazed.

Yao Yunhui stopped in her tracks. Recently, for some reason, every time she thought of Xu Qing and wanted to scheme against him, a thought would appear in her mind, telling her to think more about Xu Qing’s good points.

This thought kept rising in her heart, entangled with her disgust for it. It grew deeper and deeper until it finally turned into dense complexity.

Noticing that his mother had stopped in her tracks, Zhang Siyun couldn’t help but look over. He discovered that his mother’s expression was constantly changing, so he was a little worried.

“Mother…”

Today, Yao Yunhui was wearing a black cloud skirt. It contrasted with her snow-white skin and made her look even more moving.

This was especially so for her perky breasts and long legs that were faintly discernible under her dress.

She had a slender waist and jade-like legs. Even though she had stopped in her tracks and didn’t move, she still exuded an indescribable temptation.

Coupled with the beautiful curves of her waist and butt, all of this caused her cold face to hide endless enticement, like a fire sealed in ice.

At that moment, she looked at the departing Xu Qing. As the complicated emotions in her heart churned unceasingly, she actually muttered for some reason.

“Yun’er, do you think Xu Qing looks a little like your father?”

Zhang Siyun’s body trembled and his expression changed drastically.

His eyes were wide open and an indescribable shocking wave rose in his mind. It was as though a million heavenly lightning bolts had exploded in his mind in unison, resounding through him as he cried out involuntarily.

“What did you say?”

After Yao Yunhui finished speaking, she sensed that something was wrong. Her expression turned cold as she spoke gloomily.

“They’re both trash.”

After saying that, Yao Yunhui let out a cold snort. A look of disgust appeared on her pretty face as she quickly left.

Her long dress outlined her graceful back view. As she twisted her waist, it attracted the gazes and souls of many Sword Holders in the surroundings.

When Zhang Siyun heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat that had broken out on his forehead.

This was the first time in his life that he felt a sense of relief when he heard his mother scold his father.

At the same time, in the air above the county capital, another person also saw Xu Qing’s departing figure.

This was an old man.

He stared in the direction Xu Qing had left in with a dumbfounded expression. He rubbed his eyes forcefully and widened his eyes to confirm it. His heart couldn’t help but tremble.

“This… this…”

“This is too f*cking unlucky!”

“Why am I seeing this little bastard here!!”

This person was none other than the old man from Panquan Road. He had come to the county to purchase some supplementary items needed for Ling’er’s inheritance and didn’t have much contact with the outside world recently. Now that he was done buying and was about to leave, he saw Xu Qing.

After the disbelief, the old man also shivered and felt incomparably grateful.

“Fortunately, I didn’t let Ling’er follow me!”

“I can’t let Ling’er know that this evil brat Xu is here!”

The old man from Panquan Road gritted his teeth fiercely and left quickly, afraid that Xu Qing would notice him.

“I won’t come to the county capital again!”
