Outside Of Time

822 Fanning the Flames, Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone (3)

He was looking at Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing remembered that when the Seventh Prince introduced him earlier, he had mentioned this person’s identity. He was the grandson of the current Supreme Commander and his name was Meng Yunbai.

As Meng Yunbai spoke, the woman sitting on the other side also looked over.

This woman wore a simple blue dress, her appearance was beautiful, and she had a ponytail. However, her eyes had a pair of pupils that emitted an eerie vibe, causing anyone who was stared at by her to instinctively feel a shiver down their spine.

The Seventh Prince introduced this woman as Fairy Liuling, someone from the Creator’s Manor.

“You have the smell of god on you.”

Fairy Liuling stared at Xu Qing. She looked young but her voice was that of an old woman. It was very bizarre.

Xu Qing turned his head and his gaze landed on Meng Yunbai. He then looked at Fairy Liuling. Just as he was about to politely decline, Meng Yunbai smiled and suddenly spoke again.

“We can make a deal. You can tell me the answer. As for me, I’ll tell you which of the people here today has ill intentions toward you and the source of these ill intentions. How about it?”

When Kong Xianglong heard this, he fell into deep thought. He had already discovered that these people from the Imperial City weren’t simple.

As for this person, what he should want wasn’t an answer but to use this to express his attitude. It was difficult to judge whether his intentions were good or evil, but it was clear that he wanted to sway Xu Qing’s understanding.

After all, what he said could be true or false.

However, in Kong Xianglong’s opinion, this trick was useless in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at Meng Yunbai and took out a jade slip from his storage bag, handing it over.

“What is this?”

Meng Yunbai raised his brows. After taking it, he scanned it with his divine consciousness and his eyes abruptly widened. He then looked at Xu Qing.

“Is it through this? It’s so complete!”

“Yes, almost all the answers to the Heart Inquisition’s questions over the years in the seven counties of the human race are here.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The captain had bought this jade slip back then and gave Xu Qing a copy later.

Meng Yunbai was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Qing suspiciously. He instinctively didn’t believe him but there were many answers in this jade slip that were incomparably detailed. It even marked the depth of the responses. It was apparent that a considerable amount of effort and resources went into organizing this information.

Just as he was hesitating, someone at the banquet unknowingly mentioned Black Heaven Divine Son, who had once appeared in this area.

Many people in the Holy Wave Race knew and heard about this. Although most of the witnesses had died, the rumors couldn’t be stopped. Even the human race gradually became aware of it.

“Speaking of this Black Heaven Divine Son, although I don’t know the details, I heard that the deep pit outside was formed because of him. It can be seen that his methods are astonishing.”

“It’s a pity that no one knows why he appeared here and why the Ten Guts Trees disappeared.”

“The Black Heaven Race is evil, and this divine son is probably even more so. He’s likely following the path of sacrifice, and there’s a high probability that he offered the Ten Guts Trees of the Calamity Immortal Race to his master, the Crimson Goddess.”

“Seventh Highness, after your triumph in the Holy Wave Race, have you been able to trace the whereabouts of that Black Heaven Divine Son?”

Everyone spoke one after another. When Black Heaven Divine Son was mentioned, regardless of their identities, their words revealed fear. Clearly, the words ‘Black Heaven Divine Son’ carried a lot of weight to them.

The Seventh Prince shook his head.

“I’ve heard of this matter and also asked some of the Holy Wave Race members. According to their description, this Black Heaven Divine Son’s cultivation is astonishing and his status is supreme. With a wave of his hand, he can descend the power of the Crimson Goddess and even make the statue of the Black Heaven Race kneel and call him master.”

“However, it’s a pity that he didn’t leave any traces behind before he disappeared. However, the Imperial Sister should know more about the Black Heaven Race. After all, you are the supervisor of the Creator’s Manor.”

After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he looked at Princess Anhai beside him.

Princess Anhai was expressionless as she spoke in a voice that was as cold as her expression.

“This Black Heaven Divine Son should be from the Moon Worship Region. Only there will the true dependents of the Crimson Goddess be herding for him.”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed as he processed this piece of information, something he previously claimed to be unaware of. Hearing it now, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Beside him, Kong Xianglong picked up his wine glass and took a sip, trying his best to control himself from looking at Xu Qing.

Even now, he still remembered that Xu Qing and his senior brother had transformed into the appearance of the Black Heaven Race in front of him. After that, they headed to the place he was standing at now.

It was also after they came here that the matter of Black Heaven Divine Son spread…

As for the others, they all nodded slightly when they heard Princess Anhai’s words. Only the Seventh Prince suddenly looked at Xu Qing and smiled.

“Xu Qing, Fenghai County isn’t that far from here. Have you heard of this Black Heaven Divine Son?”

“I heard about it afterwards.” Xu Qing lifted his head and looked into the Seventh Prince’s eyes with a serious expression.

The Seventh Prince smiled and didn’t speak again.

Xu Qing’s gaze was as usual and there were no changes at all. Everyone here also slowly changed the topic and discussed major matters of the ancient races, such as the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s hunt.

Speaking of this, some people’s expressions became indignant.

There was also the matter of the Holy Wave Race’s return and the contributions the Seventh Prince had made this time. The Seventh Prince was all smiles throughout the conversation.

They also talked about the situation of the Sun of Dawn and other human counties.

Occasionally, they would talk about some strange stories from other regions.

Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong had never heard of most of these things, so they remained silent.

This lasted until someone shifted the topic to Xu Qing.

“Seventh Highness, I have a straightforward personality and will offend others with my words. You reminded me of this back then but today… I still can’t help it. Some people are really ungrateful and despicable!”

The person who spoke was the descendant of the Heavenly Marquis Luo. When the Seventh Prince introduced him, he called him Luo Jinsong.
