Outside of Time [Webnovel]

814 Assassination at the Grave (3) Gazing at the tombstone, memories of Grandmaster Bai’s presence flashed through Xu Qing’s mind. He picked up the incense stick that Ting Yu handed him, lit it, and placed it in front of the grave. He then knelt down and kowtowed.

Parents bestowed the body and soul, education shaped one’s life, hence a teacher was as important as parents in one’s life.

Old Master Seventh was like this, and so was Grandmaster Bai.

He understood this principle since he was a child. He realized that in this chaotic world, those who earnestly imparted knowledge were forever deserving of gratitude.

However, the instant Xu Qing kowtowed, the few clouds floating at a low altitude in the sky suddenly swayed. There was no preemptive burst of killing intent, no forewarning chill.

These clouds suddenly changed, forming a huge cloud palm that rapidly pressed down on Xu Qing, who was in front of the tomb on the ground.

Its speed was so fast and it appeared so suddenly. It was as though it had been lying in ambush here for a long time in advance, making it very difficult for others to guard against it. Moreover, the power of Nihility erupted from the cloud palm, carrying the intent of extermination. It was about to descend.

However, nine figures suddenly appeared around it. The patriarchs of the eight great families who had left earlier appeared out of thin air and emitted the cultivation fluctuations of the Spirit Repository. There was also a white-haired old man who emitted a Nihility aura that headed straight for the cloud palm.

This old man was the publicly acknowledged ancestor of the eight great families and the only Nihility in Purple Earth.

The two sides collided violently. As the cloud palm rolled back, Purple Earth’s ancestor’s eyes revealed a sharp glint as he gave chase.

As for the patriarchs, they quickly landed and helped Xu Qing neutralize the aftershocks emitted by the cloud palm.

Everything was instantly resolved.

Xu Qing continued to kowtow without any change in his expression.

Ting Yu was shocked by this scene and her breathing turned hurried. Chen Feiyuan’s expression didn’t change at all. This was originally something he had applied to the higher-ups of Purple Earth in advance in order to set up security.

However, at that moment, the moment Xu Qing kowtowed and his forehead touched the ground, fog suddenly rose from the surrounding ground. Many figures of the Smoke Race crawled out and headed straight for Xu Qing.

There were hundreds of them and all of them had extraordinary cultivation bases. They were also extremely fast, clearly trained in assassination.

However, before they could get close to Xu Qing, the sky distorted and a large seal suddenly manifested, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

That was a treasure formed by the fusion of the magic treasures of the eight great families. Although it wasn’t as powerful as a Taboo, it was at the peak level among magic treasures.

After Chen Feiyuan crushed a jade slip, it instantly appeared and descended violently toward the ground.

Xu Qing was unscathed but the Smoke Race members who appeared in the surroundings let out mournful cries and collapsed one after another.

This wasn’t the end. Almost at the instant the magic treasure seal appeared, the third wave of assassination attempts erupted. This time, the people who came didn’t come from the sky or the ground but from the wind.

Thousands of figures directly transformed from the wind that blew from all directions. They looked like they were from the Smoke Race but their auras were different from the Smoke Race. Clearly, Smoke Race was just a disguise to hide their real race.

The instant they appeared, the great wing in the sky rumbled. Thousands of Sword Holders descended in unison and fought around the cemetery.

A bolt of black lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, forming a rift. Three figures rushed out from this rift.

These three were all Nihility.

Two were at the second stage, and one was at the third stage.

They also concealed the characteristics of their race and used a special method to transform into the appearance of the Smoke Race. The instant they appeared, the clouds exploded and a clear cawing sound rang out as Qingqin charged straight for the three of them.

The sky rumbled. As the battle erupted, a fourth figure silently crawled out of the rift in the sky, transforming into a beam of light that headed straight for Xu Qing.

His speed was extremely fast, but Daoist Sima immediately took a step forward and flicked his sleeve, instantly sweeping up the newcomer and starting a battle in the sky.

While battles went on in both the sky and ground, the body of a member of the eight great families suddenly trembled. The breath emitted from his nostrils actually transformed into two small misty figures that rushed toward Xu Qing.

He was already near to Xu Qing, so this sudden scene immediately created a huge crisis. However, a hand stretched out from the void beside Xu Qing and grabbed the two small people, squeezing them ruthlessly.

Miserable cries rang out as the two small people collapsed and turned into countless remnant fog. As they retreated, the hand from the depths of the void rushed forward and one person walked out.

Xu Qing recognized him. He was none other than the original Deputy Palace Master of the Law Palace. He nodded at Xu Qing and chased after the remnant fog.

At the same time, in the sky, outside the huge black lightning rift, an even larger rune appeared and teleportation fluctuations spread. Seven to eight people walked out.

The person in the lead was Li Yunshan. Beside him were the Palace Master of the Observance Palace and the deacons of the three palaces.

After they appeared, they directly rushed into the black rift. At the next moment, rumbling sounds echoed through the sky.

A look of confusion appeared in Ting Yu’s eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she was dragged away by Chen Feiyuan.

At this moment, Xu Qing had finished kowtowing. When he lifted his head and looked at the sky, golden light flickered in the sky, as though it had transformed into a golden heavenly sea. The county capital’s Taboo magic treasure was being projected here.

It spread through the sky.

In the golden net that spread in all directions, a majestic face was faintly discernible.

It was Marquis Yao.

Countless small worlds formed in its surroundings. Under the enhancement of the Taboo magic treasure and the county capital’s fortune, those small worlds were forcefully brought together, forming a large world!
