Outside Of Time

544 Black-Clothed Guard! (1)

Xu Qing was going to participate.

The big job Kong Xianglong was talking about was a secret order given to him by the field office.

Originally, secret order missions didn’t allow other departments to participate.

However, Kong Xianglong thought that since Xu Qing and his other friends also needed military contributions, he coaxed and pestered before obtaining this opportunity to let the other Sword Holders participate as helpers.

Moreover, he was willing to act as a guarantor for this.

Other than some Sword Holders from the field office, Xu Qing, Shan He, Wang Chen, and Night Spirit were also participating.

As for the mission…

“This is a rescue mission.”

In the Sword Holding Palace’s field office late at night, Xu Qing and the others arrived one after another. A total of 17 Sword Holders had gathered here and were looking at Kong Xianglong, who had a solemn expression on his face.

“We’ll set off first. I’ll tell you in detail about the missions on the way. However, according to the rules, any voice transmission jade slips you have will have to be sealed.”

“Until we return after completing the mission, you won’t be able to transmit any messages to the outside world through jade slips. Only I, as the person in charge of this task, can do it.”

Kong Xianglong’s expression was solemn. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand. Immediately, the Sword Holder in charge of this matter walked out. After cupping his fists at everyone, he stepped forward and sealed the voice transmission jade slips.

The method of sealing was very simple and was done using restrictions.

As this person performed a series of hand seals, restrictions landed on everyone.

è® ̧é�’ looked at the others and found that no one had any objections. He also knew that this was something that should be done when going on a mission. After carefully checking the restrictions, he allowed his communication jade slip to lose its effect.

This restriction indeed only had this effect and nothing else.

Before he came here, he sent a voice transmission to Fairy Zi Xuan1 to tell her that he was going out for a task. At the same time, he also applied for leave from the Prison Department.

At that moment, the restriction seals were completed. With a wave of Kong Xianglong’s hand, everyone set off for the teleportation hall of the Sword Holding Palace. They stepped in one after another and teleported together.

As the array formation shone, the figures of the 17 of them disappeared.

When they appeared, they were already in a place that was very far away from the county capital. That was the border between the county capital and Tianyun Province.

“In three days, we will reach another teleportation point. However, from now on, we have to hide our tracks. Everyone, change out of the Sword Holder’s clothes and let’s set off.”

Under the pitch-black night sky, Kong Xianglong looked at everyone beside him and spoke in a low voice.

Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. He could already tell that this mission was not an ordinary one. After all, it gave a lot of military contributions, so it made sense for it to have a certain level of danger. He changed out of the Sword Holder Daoist robe.

No one spoke. After they were done, they sped through the night under Kong Xianglong’s lead.

“Now, I’ll tell you about the mission.”

“The mission this time is to receive a spy from our Sword Holding Palace who was hiding in the Holy Wave Race!”

“This spy has been hiding in the Holy Wave Race for many years and has returned recently. Our mission is to receive him at the border and protect him all the way back to the Sword Holding Palace.”

As Kong Xianglong sprinted, he spoke to the people around him.

“As for whether his identity was exposed, whether he found any significant clues, and why he couldn’t teleport back and escape, you might have some thoughts about this. However, I’m telling you now that you don’t have to think about it. This isn’t something we should know.”

Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing, Shan He, and the others. Clearly, he wasn’t saying this to the Sword Holders from the field office but to remind Xu Qing and the others.

Xu Qing nodded. As an old member of the Homicide Department, he naturally understood this logic.

Shan He and the others also indicated that they understood.

“However, there’s one thing I firmly believe in. There will be no problem with this spy’s identity. It’s absolutely impossible for him to betray the Sword Holder.”

“Also, I personally analyzed that this spy’s return should have its own cover. The person we’re going to receive might not be him. It might be a waste of effort.”

“There’s a high chance that there are other teams carrying out this mission as well, but the direction should be different from ours.”

“The palace must have arranged for experts as well, but I don’t know if they are around us.” Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing and the others and spoke in a low voice.

“Big Brother Kong, why did you have to go into such detail this time around?” Shan He’s gaze swept past Xu Qing.

Night Spirit frowned and also glanced at Xu Qing.

In reality, they also felt a little repulsed by Xu Qing’s participation this time around. It wasn’t that they were annoyed but they weren’t used to it.

After all, as a team, they had never let anyone else join them.

Xu Qing was the only one in all these years.

Wang Chen, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression as he yawned and sat on the coffin.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever and he didn’t speak.

“This is Xu Qing’s first time participating in a mission with us. To avoid misunderstandings, we naturally have to make things clear in advance,” Kong Xianglong said with a smile.

Hearing Kong Xianglong’s words, Night Spirit and Shan He fell silent.

The Sword Holders from the field office pretended not to see all of this. In reality, they were very familiar with Shan He and the others. After all, these three people would always be around for Kong Xianglong’s field missions.

Just like that, the group sped through the night.

Xu Qing wasn’t the fastest but he wasn’t the slowest either. As he followed, he analyzed the mission inwardly. At the same time, he recalled the history of the myriad races explained by the Deputy Governor during the secret training.

The Holy Wave Race was a race formed after the Grand Duke Holy Wave betrayed the human race back then. As traitors of the human race, they were mortal enemies like fire and water.
