Outside Of Time

1123 Wishing Eternal Happiness

Fenghai County's capital, the County Governor's residence.

This residence was located in the center of the capital city and its surroundings were heavily guarded. Not only were there Sword Holders and cultivators from the county capital guarding it, but it also had two forms.

What was usually visible in the city was only a part of it; another part was located in the void, formed by eight grand buildings, covering a vast area.

The County Governor's token could control its movement between the real and void.

At that moment, Xu Qing was standing in a pavilion in the County Governor's residence and observing a token in his hand.

This token had the word 'Fenghai' on one side and the picture of the mountains and rivers on the other. It was the County Governor Token of Fenghai County .

Xu Qing wasn't the only one in the pavilion. Marquis Yao and Old Master Seventh were also here. The two of them were playing chess while the captain obediently stood beside Old Master Seventh and stared at the chessboard, prepared to curry favor with his master at any time.

"I've already erased my mark on that token. You can fuse your divine sense into it and make it your exclusive item."

Marquis Yao picked up a chess piece and placed it down.

"Xu Qing is still young. Marquis Yao, don't be in a hurry to retire. Fenghai County still needs us." Old Master Seventh smiled and placed a piece.

The instant the chess piece landed, the captain's eyes lit up and he praised loudly.

"Good move, good move. Master is indeed amazing. I never thought of this step. Brilliant, brilliant, I've learned something new!"

Old Master Seventh glared and snorted, looking like he didn't like the flattery. However, his eyes were filled with smugness. Clearly, he was in a very good mood, unlike what his expression showed.

Marquis Yao was expressionless. He glanced at Chen Erniu and ignored him.

At that moment, when Xu Qing heard Marquis Yao's words, he was about to fuse his divine sense into the token. At the next instant, Old Master Seventh lifted his head and looked at the sky. Marquis Yao's expression also changed.

Xu Qing and the captain then looked into the distance. The clouds churned in the night sky and the figure of the large bird, Qingqin, was revealed in the sky. Its excited cackles echoed in all directions.

"This Qingqin… disappeared without a trace when Xu Qing left, but as soon as he returned, it immediately flew back."

Old Master Seventh pursed his lips. Xu Qing looked at Qingqin and a smile appeared on his face. He then cupped his fists and bowed to the sky, rainbow light spreading from his body.

When Qingqin, who was in the sky, saw this scene, it became even happier. It also released its vital light, its cries becoming increasingly loud and clear. In the end, it circled a few times above the city before disappearing in the clouds.

As Qingqin disappeared, the night in the city gradually quietened down. In the pavilion, Marquis Yao gently placed a piece down and calmly spoke.

"Erniu, what did you experience in the Moon Worship?"

When the captain heard this, he coughed.

"Marquis, what I experienced in the Moon Offering Region is a small matter. For example, I brought Little Qing to the Red Moon to take a look. I also casually summoned the son of a b*tch's fragmented-face and made It open Its eyes. It then looked at that old hag, Crimson Goddess, and killed Her."

"Also, I caught up with my ex-wife and made some good friends."

The captain said some earth-shattering things in a relaxed tone.

When Old Master Seventh heard this, his eyes narrowed but he didn't speak.

When Marquis Yao heard this, his eyelids clearly twitched a few times. After a long silence, he pretended to be calm and spoke.

"The god of the Black Heaven Race, Crimson Goddess… Can She revive?"

The captain patted his chest.

"Impossible, She has been completely destroyed. From now on, there will be no more Crimson Goddess among the gods!"

Marquis Yao lifted his head and cast a deep glance at Chen Erniu before looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing sensed it and nodded.

"Crimson Goddess is indeed dead."

Marquis Yao's hand that was holding the chess piece trembled slightly. When he heard Erniu's words, he had reservations about their authenticity. However, it was different when Xu Qing said it.

At that moment, he couldn't suppress the surging waves in his heart. He didn't know how Xu Qing and Chen Erniu did this almost impossible thing, so he didn't ask further.

Everyone had their own secrets. It wasn't a good thing to probe too much.

In fact, he more or less had an answer. Regardless of whether it was Jicang's name or Xu Qing calling ninth grandfather on the battlefield earlier, they all made his imagination run wild.

At that moment, he took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain his composure as he stood up.

"It is getting late. I won't disturb your reunion."

With that, Marquis Yao turned and slowly walked into the distance, disappearing from the County Governor's residence and returning to his Yao residence.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the County Governor's residence.

"To be able to raise such disciples, how can the master be an ordinary person? These master and disciples aren't simple. To Fenghai County, this is a good thing."

Marquis Yao recalled what he had just heard about the Moon Offering and his heart was filled with endless waves.

"I can't tell what went on, but there must have been someone behind the scenes, manipulating the situation in secret; otherwise, it wouldn't have proceeded so smoothly."

In the pavilion, only Old Master Seventh, Xu Qing, and Erniu were left.

With no outsiders around, Old Master Seventh's face instantly darkened as he glared at Erniu.

"Have you grown wings now? It's fine if you courted death, but you brought your junior brother along to court death?"

Xu Qing was about to speak up for the captain when Old Master Seventh interrupted him.

"Fourth, I know you have a kind heart, but what your Eldest Senior Brother did was too impulsive. The likes of Crimson Mother are not to be underestimated. With your current cultivation and no one to guide you, any small mistake could lead to complete destruction, without even a chance for rescue!"lightsnovel

Old Master Seventh's tone was stern. Xu Qing's heart trembled and he didn't dare to speak up for the captain. However, he more or less had a feeling that his master was worried about him and Eldest Senior Brother. He also felt like… his master was a little unhappy that he wasn't called out this time.

Erniu's body trembled and he knew that the situation wasn't good. Hence, he knelt down with a plop with a fawning expression.

"Master, I missed you."

Old Master Seventh snorted.

Seeing this, Erniu blinked and his eyes turned red as he spoke in a low voice.

"Master, Junior Brother and I actually have another motive for doing this. It was to prepare a birthday gift for you, Master. That's why we didn't invite you along. How can we prepare a gift for the birthday star and still have the birthday star do it himself?"

As he spoke, the captain quickly took out… two fleshy feathers.

He respectfully handed them over, fearing that Xu Qing might be straightforward, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Junior Brother and I obtained a total of four feathers. One for each of us. We are giving the remaining two to Master as a birthday gift."

"I wish Master longevity in advance and eternal happiness."

Old Master Seventh didn't even look at the two feathers. His gaze swept past Erniu. He was well aware of the conduct of his disciple and knew that these feathers were probably just a drop in the ocean.

Being stared at by his master, the captain coughed and hurriedly spoke.

"Master, there were outsiders around previously, so I didn't explain in detail. Junior Brother and I did many great things in the Moon Offering Region. Most importantly, every time we did something great, we promoted Master's divine might!"

"Hmm," said Old Master Seventh.

The captain sensed that his master's tone had softened and continued to speak.

"First, we publicized that it was Master who had made a move and made Crimson Goddess fall into a deep slumber. Then, we used Master as a banner to revive the ruler's heir and his siblings."

"We told them that our master is invincible. First, you made it impossible for Crimson Goddess to wake up immediately. After that, you arranged for us to come here and summon them, all for the sake of destroying Crimson Goddess."

"Master, although you were not there, your name was the greatest protection for us."

"Little Qing, am I right or not?"

When Xu Qing heard this, he hurriedly nodded and spoke seriously.

"Master, before we came back, the heir asked me to send you a letter."

As he spoke, Xu Qing took out a golden jade slip from his storage bag and respectfully handed it to Old Master Seventh.

The heir had given this to them before they left. On the way, the two of them had tried to look at the contents. Ordinary methods couldn't check it. If they used other methods, although they would be able to read the contents, the jade slip would be shattered.

Old Master Seventh calmly received it.

This jade slip that Xu Qing and the captain couldn't open with normal methods actually opened very casually in Old Master Seventh's hands. As he checked, Old Master Seventh's expression was a little surprised. After that, it softened a lot and there was even a hint of pride on his face.

Noticing this, Xu Qing and the captain heaved a sigh of relief.

The captain got up and stood at the side as he talked in a low voice.

"Master, in the end, Little Qing and I unified the Moon Offering Region and even awakened the ruler, Li Zihua. I even invited a high god. Little Qing was also quite amazing; he seduced a high god and invited Her."

Xu Qing glanced at the captain but remained quiet.

The captain blinked and talked again.

"In the end, the Li Zihua of the past walked into the present and sacrificed himself to make the fragmented-face open Its eyes."

"Red Moon became a Divine World and disappeared from Wanggu!"

"Master, I think the reason why this matter proceeded smoothly was because of Li Zihua… This matter looks like we planned and implemented it, but every step we took, there were traces of Li Zihua. I made a deal with him in the past, and even at that time, I had a similar feeling. He seemed to have… been waiting for me."

The captain's expression was solemn.

This was also the first time Xu Qing had heard the captain mention this. He fell into deep thought.

Old Master Seventh's expression was calm. He put down the jade slip in his hand and didn't continue asking. Instead, he picked up the two feathers. After that, he glanced at Erniu and made a grabbing motion.

Immediately, Erniu's body trembled and a blue scepter flew out from his forehead, landing in Old Master Seventh's hand.

After that, Old Master Seventh's gaze landed on Xu Qing and similarly made a grabbing motion. At the next moment, the fish bone where the Diamond Sect's ancestor was instantly flew out and appeared in Old Master Seventh's hand.

After doing this, Old Master Seventh stood up.

"Alright, I'll go back first. The two of you, recall that if such a thing happens again in the future, you have to be careful and not be rash!"

Old Master Seventh snorted and turned to walk into the void, disappearing.

When he appeared, he was already in the Deputy Governor's residence.

The entire Deputy Governor's residence was empty and quiet. Only Old Master Seventh stood there with his hands behind his back and gazed up at the sky.

After a long time, a gust of wind blew over, blowing his hair and the corner of his shirt. It handed off the feeling that he was about to leave with the wind.

Old Master Seventh's expression slowly became complicated. What he gazed at didn't seem to be the sky of this Wanggu Continent but the endless starry sky beyond the sky.

"Li Zihua succeeded…"

Old Master Seventh muttered.
