Outside Of Time

738 Purple Mystic Supreme Clarity Lantern (4)

Zi Xuan’s eyes showed determination as she shook her head once again.

The young man in the imperial robe remained silent for a while before taking out a small purple bottle from his pocket. He walked gently towards the sculpture and poured a few drops of liquid from the bottle into the purple lantern.

This liquid was transparent, like oil.

After doing this, he placed the small bottle that didn’t have much oil left to the side. Then, he silently turned around, his expression filled with sadness and a touch of anguish.

As he turned around, his appearance also came into view for Xu Qing. He bore a striking resemblance to Zi Xuan, resembling her as if they were siblings.

He walked toward the door of the hall and passed through Xu Qing, walking further and further away…

As he disappeared, the door of the hall slowly closed.

Zi Xuan, who was beside the statue, lifted her head with a sorrowful expression. She leaned against the statue and sat there. Gradually, the entire hall descended into darkness.

As the darkness enveloped the hall, the light emanating from the lantern sculpture on the statue, even with the presence of the oil, gradually dimmed and eventually vanished completely.

Coldness descended.

Darkness replaced everything. Only a sigh continued to echo.

In the next moment, the darkness suddenly disappeared and transformed into purple light. After a brief pause in mid-air, it swiftly surged towards the distant blood and flesh walls.

As the purple light left, the coldness dissipated very quickly. Everything in front of Xu Qing returned to normal.

The captain was beside Xu Qing and his breathing was hurried as he exclaimed.

“Junior Brother, this is a little troublesome. I wonder who lived here back then. It really restrains me, especially that purple light just now…”

At the same time, the remaining part of the shadow outside the blood and flesh city wall escaped the disaster and returned to Xu Qing’s side, trembling with a sense of grievance and fear, conveying its emotions.

“Can’t… enter.”

Xu Qing frowned and stared at the courtyard behind the flesh-and-blood walls in the distance.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I feel that this place looks a little familiar. Also, did you hear that just now?”

“Familiar? Hear what?” The captain was stunned.

“There was a sigh in that purple light,” Xu Qing said solemnly.

The captain’s expression changed and he was about to speak. However, at this moment, 500 kilometers away, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out from the safe zone established by the human army.

The distance was a little far, so they couldn’t see the scene clearly. They could only faintly sense the fluctuations of the ground. At the same time, a message came from their command swords.

“The third group has arrived. By the order of the Seventh Prince, we inform the first group of people who arrived here that you have made significant contributions to the Immortal Forbidden Plan during these seven days. However, there may be changes in this area in the future. The first group may choose to leave within the next six hours. As for the second group, they are required to stay for a minimum of seven days before they can leave, and so on.”

After Xu Qing and the captain each checked their command swords, they looked at each other. They naturally wouldn’t leave like this. Hence, they put away their command swords and sat on the severed arm, continuing to look at the flesh and blood city walls.

The captain was about to ask Xu Qing about the sigh. However, before he could speak, he suddenly started and abruptly looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also reacted and looked at the captain.

“The third group came so quickly?”

“I remember that the second group just arrived…”

The pupils of the two of them constricted. They quickly took out their command swords and carefully read the content just now. Finally, when they saw the word ‘seven days’, their hearts stirred greatly.

“Seven days?” The captain narrowed his eyes.

“When we got close to this place previously, it was the fourth day, the day the second group arrived.” Xu Qing’s expression was grim.

“In our perception, it has only been about fifteen minutes since we came here. However, from the command sword, three days have already passed!”

A dark glint appeared in the captain’s eyes.

“What have we done in the past three days?”

Xu Qing looked grave. He looked at the flesh-and-blood city walls and the nine phoenix palaces inside. He had a vague sense that he had forgotten something, and the familiarity of that area felt unchanged.

He had similar experiences in D132 before, but it seemed different from what he was experiencing here.

However, no matter what, he still immediately circulated the power of D132 Heavenly Palace and spread it throughout his body.

The captain’s expression was also gloomy. A face appeared in his eyes and his body emitted a cold aura. Together with Xu Qing, he looked at the flesh and blood city wall.

The two of them fell silent for a long time but didn’t get close. Instead, they chose to step back.

As they retreated, the nine phoenix palaces within the flesh wall began to erode and dissipate. This scene caused both Xu Qing and the captain to pause their steps.

The erosion and dissipation also paused.

With each step forward, the erosion and dissipation of the palaces reversed, but when they retreated, the palaces were eroded once again.

When they retreated 10,000 feet away, the nine phoenix halls within the flesh and blood city wall had already eroded and dissipated into time. Only a broken statue remained in the location of the central palace.

The erosion was serious, so its features and gender couldn’t be discerned clearly. Its arms were also gone, and there was only a fragmented sculpture left.

Next to it, there was a conspicuous small purple bottle.
