Outside of Time [Webnovel]

Back when he was in the Foundation Building realm, the first highness had killed many people of the same realm and slaughtered several small nonhuman races. In the entire Seven Blood Eyes, the first highness was ranked second among the personal disciples of the various peaks.

During the discussion, the captain of Team Six, who was eating an apple, pointed out precisely.

“Generally speaking, such people aren’t bloodthirsty. It’s just that their personalities have their own extreme points. Once their reverse scale is touched, they naturally will carry out a massacre.”

When Xu Qing heard this, he deeply agreed.

As for the Second Senior Sister, when her teammates mentioned her, all of them had a look of fear on their faces. Compared to the mysterious first highness that very few people had seen in the past few years, there were too many people who had seen the second highness.

!!

She would usually stroll around the harbor. Her personality was very domineering, and her actions were even more decisive. She was known for being overbearing in her actions, but she also had monstrous strength. Once she was enraged, even the elders of the Seventh Peak would have a headache.

“Hers is an illness. It needs to be treated,” the captain said softly.

Among the Peak Master’s disciples, the most popular one would be the third highness.

Other than being lecherous, the third highness had almost no shortcomings. He usually had a smile on his face and didn’t put on any airs when facing other disciples. Moreover, he was extremely generous.

He did his best to resolve the requests for help from the disciples. This was especially so for their relationship with the nonhuman races on the sea. He had made a lot of contributions in this and many disciples even called him the diplomatic ambassador of the Seventh Peak.

And his romantic affairs were also a hot topic among the disciples.

The captain of Team Six took another bite of the apple and seemed like he wanted to comment as well. However, he seemed to have thought of something and ultimately didn’t speak. He only continued to eat the apple and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

Although Xu Qing was seriously listening to his team members’ discussion, he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Regardless of whether it was the merfolk youth or the three highnesses of the Seventh Peak, of them had anything to do with him.

Xu Qing’s main focus during this period of time was the wanted criminals. As for the method to find them, he made a change.

He just needed to wait for the prey.

On this night, Xu Qing was on duty.

The night was dark and the wind was strong. The moonlight was sparse, and the sea breeze brought moisture to every corner of the city. It was as though they wanted to witness the various dark events that happened in the city during the night.

The gambling dens and brothels were also bustling with activity. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and from time to time, one could see figures in dark clothes walking on the roofs and walls of various buildings.

Spirit energy fluctuations could be felt occasionally from the alleys. It was as though all sorts of demons and ghosts were slowly descending into the human world under the moonlight.

However, as a figure walked past, all the noise became lower.

Only after the figure left did everything return to normal.

This figure was other than Xu Qing.

Ever since he dragged Qing Yunzi’s corpse across half of the city, it was like this every time he was on night duty.

There were no secrets to speak of in the main city. To be able to capture Qing Yunzi, who was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, alive, even if the other party was only a Qi Condensation cultivator of a small sect, the fact that he couldn’t escape and was in an incomparably miserable state still showcased Xu Qing’s strength.

Moreover, he was able to leave safely after confronting the shopkeeper outside the inn on Panquan Road. All of this was enough to show that this newbie from the Homicide Department could not be easily provoked.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Qing did not encounter other wanted criminals after that.

However, it did not matter. Xu Qing felt that he had found a new solution. At this moment, he was walking in the darkness of the city and arrived at Panquan Road. He looked at the inn that was open not far away and stood motionlessly in a corner under the eaves.

His body seemed to have fused with the night as he silently waited.

Since he couldn’t find any clues or wanted criminals, he might as well wait patiently.

Xu Qing was fully equipped with patience. As for the possibility of offending the old man from the inn by waiting here, Xu Qing had considered it. However, spirit stones were more important. Moreover, Xu Qing felt that with his current combat strength, it wasn’t impossible for him to fight.

Just like that, time passed. Four hours later… before dawn, a figure silently sped over from afar. His target was other than the inn.

This person was a skinny middle-aged man. His eyes were small and his beard was very long, making his sharp chin look even stranger. He looked like a rat.

At this moment, his small eyes were filled with vigilance. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the inn’s entrance, his heart relaxed and he sighed with relief as he quickly moved toward the inn.

“The main city of the Seven Blood Eyes is truly wonderful, especially the inns that are open at night. They follow the rules and provide shelter. It’s very perfect, but it’s too damn expensive.”

“80 on the first day, 160 on the second day, double the amount every day… Looks like I’ll have to go to a small city in a few days. It’s a pity that the commoners in those small cities don’t have any savings and can only cry out in pain,” the skinny middle-aged man mumbled. He was only 20 feet away from the inn and was about to leap over.

However, at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew behind him, and a cold voice entered his ears.

“Daoist Rat?”

The skinny middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. Without any hesitation, he waved his right hand behind him, scattering some kind of powder. His body then erupted with power as he sped forward.

However, it was still too late. The instant he lifted his right hand, a dagger appeared in front of his neck and ruthlessly sliced through it!

As blood gushed out, the skinny middle-aged man’s entire body trembled. His limbs twitched and he let out a series of whooshing sounds. However, he couldn’t speak. He struggled to turn around and saw the expressionless Xu Qing behind him.

That powder was useless against Xu Qing.

“Daoist Rat is from the Litu Sect. He specializes in bewitching medicines and has a twisted personality. He enjoys slaughtering mortals for fun. Half a year ago, he was wanted by Purple Earth for 15 spirit stones and the notice was spread throughout the Nanhuang Continent.”

Xu Qing didn’t look at Daoist Rat, who had lost his breath. Instead, he recited the contents of the wanted jade slip while looking at the old man who was standing in front of the inn with a gloomy expression.

“There’s no need to continue. I know he’s a wanted criminal,” said the old man gloomily.

Xu Qing fell silent and cut off Daoist Rat’s head. He then took his leather pouch and kicked the corpse.

The corpse landed loudly at the entrance of the inn.

“He didn’t enter the inn. I didn’t break your rules. You don’t have to pay for the corpse. It’s a gift for you.”

With that, Xu Qing took a few steps back until he was a safe distance away. He then quickly left with Daoist Rat’s head.

“I still lack 45 spirit stones for this month…
