Outside of Time [Webnovel]

283 What Is Sequence!

“Arrest?” The black-clothed girl laughed. However, the instant her laughter rang out, voices from countless corners of Port 176 rang out in unison.

“I obey the order!”

As the voices rang out, figures rushed out from all corners. There were over a thousand of them and they sealed off the entire Port 176.

“A mere group of Qi Condensation cultivators wants to block me? I’ll kill a few first for you to see!”

!!

Killing intent appeared in the black-clothed girl’s eyes. The three life fires in her body were instantly ignited and their light overflowed into the sky. Her speed also erupted as she soared into the air and headed straight for the Homicide Department’s disciples who had rushed out.

Xu Qing coldly looked over and raised his identity token.

“Xu Qing, deputy director of the Homicide Department, requests for the sect’s array formation to seal the sky of Port 176, so that no foreign cultivators may fly here!”

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, a bell chime rang out from all directions. The power of the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation erupted and directly enveloped this place, causing the expression of the black-clothed girl who was flying in the air to change.

Boom! Her body was suppressed by a huge force and forcefully pressed to the ground. It was difficult for her to soar into the air. In fact, the life fires in her body were shaking.

“How dare you!” Although the young girl was suppressed, the killing intent in her eyes didn’t decrease. Instead, it intensified and her anger soared to the sky.

Xu Qing wasn’t lying. The reason why this young girl could be so arrogant and no one stopped her previously was because the order and laws in the Seven Blood Eyes were extremely strict. There would almost never be anything like going off the rails. Unless the lower-level departments couldn’t deal with it and chose to report it, the higher-level departments wouldn’t participate.

The entire Seven Blood Eyes was operated based on this rule system with occasional exceptions.

“Foreign cultivators can’t light two fires here!”

Xu Qing coldly looked at the furious young girl. There was no need for him to make a move. With the authority of the Homicide Department and his identity as a member of the Sequence, he seemed to have the power of laws in the Seven Blood Eyes.

The reason he was doing this was because he sensed many gazes were focused here. He didn’t want to expose some of his secrets by attacking.

As his voice rang out, the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation instantly rumbled and an invisible force enveloped Port 176 again. The expression of the black-clothed girl changed drastically as her third ball of life fire was instantly extinguished!

Her second ball of life fire was also forcefully extinguished!

Only a life fire was still burning. Being suppressed like this inflicted some backlash to the black-clothed girl and she spat out a mouthful of blood. However, the veins on her forehead were still bulging ferociously and the killing intent in her eyes was shocking.

She struggled crazily.

However, Xu Qing made his move at this moment. With the shadow covering the life lantern, his two life fires ignited and boosted his speed. He arrived in front of the young girl almost instantly and slapped her.

The right side of the young girl’s face swelled up and she spat out a large mouthful of blood along with many teeth. Her body directly collided with a building at the side.

Xu Qing took a step forward. He immediately arrived in front of the young girl and stepped on her.

A light flashed from the pendant on the young girl’s body and a protective barrier appeared, blocking Xu Qing’s right foot.

As for the young girl, she borrowed the time to quickly crawl into the distance. Her expression was sinister and her eyes were filled with madness. She directly tore off the pendant with a ruthless expression.

“Foreign cultivators can’t use any magic artifacts and magic treasures!”

Xu Qing calmly spoke and the array formation descended again.

The protective light on the young girl’s body directly collapsed. Blood flowed out of her body and she let out an indignant mournful cry as she stared fixedly at Xu Qing.

“If you have the ability, fight me properly!”

“Idiot.” Xu Qing directly arrived in front of the black-clothed girl. With another slap, the girl’s body flew out again. Many of her teeth were shattered. The instant she landed on the ground, she took out a jade slip and crushed it. Immediately, the power of teleportation spread out.

“Foreign cultivators are forbidden from teleporting.” Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation descended again, destroying all traces of teleportation. The black-clothed girl’s eyes revealed indignance. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Qing had already arrived in front of her and slapped her again.

The black-clothed girl spat out more blood and her body went limp. However, her expression was still sinister and her anger was still intense. Even if she died, she wouldn’t submit.

Xu Qing cast a meaningful glance at the young girl. Although his principle was to kill all existences that threatened his life, he wasn’t a fool.

To do such a thing in front of so many people and attract great trouble and crisis for himself was not principle. It was stupidity.

Hence, he restrained his killing intent. He slapped the young girl again. With a boom, blood spurted out of the young girl again and the only ball of life fire in her body was extinguished. She directly fainted from the heavy injuries.

The degree of her injuries was about the same as those disciples who had fainted from her attacks earlier.

After doing this, Xu Qing stood on the spot and grabbed the young girl’s hair. He then turned his head and calmly spoke.

“Magic sealing rings!”

Immediately, dozens of figures from the Homicide Department arrived behind him. Their gazes toward Xu Qing was filled with reverence. After they got close, they quickly took out bracelet-like items and pressed them on the young girl’s arms.

The young girl immediately woke up. She let out a low shout and the magic rings on her arms instantly shattered.

The young girl laughed wildly.

“Xu Qing, I’ll remember you. No one has ever dared to be so disrespectful to me. You’re the first!” As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qing expressionlessly walked over and slapped her again.

The girl’s head hit the ground and she really fainted.

“Use ten rings.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

This ring was specially designed by the Homicide Department to target foreign Foundation Building cultivators. Two of them could suppress one life fire, and ten of them were more than enough to seal the power of three fires.

Back then, the director of the Homicide Department had used this ring on a foreign criminal.

Very soon, ten rings were put on the unconscious black-clothed girl’s body.

“Send her to the Black Division. Without my warrant, she can’t be released!” Xu Qing’s expression was calm. After his voice rang out, more disciples from the Homicide Department arrived in the surroundings and were about to carry the young girl away.

At that moment, the sound of air breaking rang out from the distant sky and a voice arrived.

“Junior Brother Xu Qing, can you make an exception for this matter!”

Xu Qing lifted his head. The tall figure of the second highness was rapidly visible in the sky. There were still some traces of her breaking through the restrictions on her body. Clearly, she had been imprisoned previously, so she couldn’t stop the black-clothed girl’s arrival.

“Greetings, second highness.” Xu Qing cupped his fists and looked at Huang Yan not far away.

Huang Yan looked at the second highness and spoke in a low voice.

“Senior Sister, Xu Qing is helping me.”

The second highness wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at Huang Yan and then at the black-clothed girl who was being carried away. She hesitated.

“Junior Brother Xu Qing, if she dies, the ancestor will be in a difficult position.” These words didn’t contain any threat but were filled with misgivings and reminders.

“She violated the sect’s rules but fortunately, she didn’t kill anyone, so her crime isn’t punishable by death. However, she still has to be imprisoned. This is the sect’s rule.”

Xu Qing said softly.

The second highness nodded.

“It’s fine as long as she doesn’t die. I’m also a little annoyed by her. Thank you for this, Junior Brother Xu Qing.” With that, she looked at Huang Yan. Her gaze gradually softened as she walked over.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and stood on the spot, waiting silently.

As for the injured, they had already been taken care of. Very soon, Huang Yan cupped his fists and left. This place became quiet.

Xu Qing waited silently. This time, he had acted not only to help Huang Yan but also because the black-clothed girl had provoked him. In addition, he also wanted to see to what extent the so-called Sequence could protect him in the Seven Blood Eyes.

Not long later, a figure walked over from the sky. It was an old man wearing a blue Daoist robe. His Golden Core cultivation fluctuations were extremely strong. As he arrived, a pressure spread in all directions.

Xu Qing lowered his head and cupped his fists.

“Greetings, Elder.”

Xu Qing didn’t know who it was but in the Seven Blood Eyes, the person wearing such a Daoist robe and exuding such pressure was naturally one of the elders.

The old man stood in the air and sized up Xu Qing a few times. A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he spoke.

“Xu Qing, Old Master Sixth asked me to ask you something. How do you plan to deal with this matter?”

“Can I kill her?” Xu Qing asked.

“No, although that girl is bossy, her crime doesn’t deserve death. Besides, her grandmother has a good personal relationship with the ancestor.”

Xu Qing nodded.

“According to the sect’s rules, she will be stripped of her cultivation base and be imprisoned in the Candle Bone Cave for three years.”

The Sixth Peak’s elder smiled when he heard this. He naturally saw Xu Qing’s intentions and knew that the girl was the one who provoked this matter first. If Xu Qing wasn’t in the Sequence, he wouldn’t be so kind.

However, entering the sequence meant that he was the future and seed of their Seven Blood Eyes. Such a person couldn’t be allowed to be humiliated casually, especially now that the ancestor was clearly very gratified by what they had done.

Also, as an Image Disciple, being provoked by outsiders in the sect could not be allowed.

“Do as you see fit, but forget about crippling her cultivation base.”

With that, the Golden Core elder turned and left.

Xu Qing cupped his fists and sent him off respectfully. After the other party left, he walked toward his berth. At the same time, he was rapidly analyzing the pros and cons of what he did.

Other than attracting the hatred of the black-clothed girl and the force behind her, there was no other disadvantage.

He had instead benefited a lot. Putting aside Huang Yan, the most important thing was that he had discovered the value of the Sequence in the Seven Blood Eyes.

“From the looks of it, the Seven Blood Eyes’ tolerance and kindness toward those in the Sequence are extremely high.”

Xu Qing recalled his experience after entering the Seven Blood Eyes and fell into deep thought. He thought of what Zhang Yunshi, who had guided him on the Seventh Peak, had said.

Back then, the other party had said that the piedmont disciples were nurtured in a Gu-nurturing environment while the disciples on the mountain were allowed to grow freely.

From the looks of it, due to Zhang Yunshi’s identity, he didn’t know about the Sequence. Now, in Xu Qing’s judgment, the Sequence was similar to the true core of the Seven Blood Eyes.

“As long as I don’t do something like betraying the sect, I’m safe in the Seven Blood Eyes.” Xu Qing pondered. At the same time, he understood the drawback of the Sequence. It was that his bond with the Seven Blood Eyes had become extremely deep.

This wasn’t an emotional bond but a matter of status and the perception of the outsiders.
