Outside Of Time

675 I’m Back! (1)
Qing Qiu worked extremely hard to organize all the information about Quzhao Province and Yinghuang Province for Xu Qing. She even considerately divided them into two jade slips.

She then brought them to Xu Qing, who was resting in the Secretariat Department.

She wasn’t doing this job alone. There were other Sword Holders who helped her. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she had to add her mark.

This was a measure set in place to prevent any loopholes and establish accountability.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and took the jade slips.

It was impossible to obtain a source of troops from those nonhuman races right now. Hence, Xu Qing could only think of two places, which were Quzhao Province and Yinghuang Province.

Due to the eruption of the Cloth Forbidden and Corpse Forbidden, these two provinces were ordered by the Palace Master to stay back and suppress the two forbidden regions. They couldn’t allow the two forbidden regions to cause chaos during war.

There were a total of 13 provinces in Fenghai County.

If the power of these two provinces could be released, it would be equivalent to providing nearly 20% of the front line’s strength.

To the front lines, this was an extremely huge amount of military assistance.

However, this matter was too difficult. Even though Xu Qing could ask Qingqin to take action, it was still quite difficult to resolve this situation.

He began to study the information about these two provinces.

“The calamity of the Cloth Forbidden has basically been suppressed, but this is the most critical moment. Right now, under the coordination of the Sword Holding Court, the entire Quzhao Province is doing its best to put the final seal. In order to prevent the Cloth Forbidden from counterattacking, we can’t take out any forces. It will take another month.”

Xu Qing frowned and sighed inwardly.

A month was too long. Looking at the way the war was progressing, it would be too late by then.

However, if they didn’t seal the forbidden region, the province would first be thrown into chaos. All the human sects in the province would have their foundations destroyed and countless humans would mutate and become food for the forbidden region.

If it spread, the interior of Fenghai County would definitely be in more chaos.

Moreover, most of the nonhuman races in these two provinces were also participating in the sealing. After all, their situation was different from the other provinces. The danger at their doorstep forced the nonhuman races in these two provinces to make a move.

Hence, it was very difficult for Xu Qing to issue this decree.

The situation was worse in the Yinghuang Province. Even though most of the Yinghuang Province’s forces including more than 90 races on the Forbidden Sea worked together to resist the Corpse Forbidden eruption, they could only barely suppress the chaos.

Right now, they were in a stalemate.

Xu Qing carefully read the information in the jade slip. After a long time, when he was reviewing the information about the Yinghuang Province, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He noticed that there was a piece of information recorded in the Sword Holding Court’s routine reports.

“However, after communication, these two large factions have agreed not to take half a step out of their territories during this period of time.”

“The three souls of the Suppression Mountain and the seven spirits of the Ghost Emperor Mountain were all transformed from the Ghost Emperor’s soul. The remaining marks of the Ghost Emperor Mountain can only be destroyed by Soul Accumulation. Hence, they all have undying bodies. Forcing them into battle will inevitably result in friction, and if there is no sincerity, it will be of no benefit to the sealing of the Corpse Forbidden and will only distract our attention.”

“Therefore, in order to avoid complicating matters and wasting time, the Sword Holding Court has decided to allow them not to fight.”

Xu Qing stared at this message and fell silent for a long time. He then stood up and paced around the Secretariat Department.

His gaze alternated between determination and hesitation, as though he was weighing the pros and cons.

Qing Qiu and Ning Yan rarely saw Xu Qing so hesitant. Even when he was acting as the Black Heaven Divine Son, they had never seen Xu Qing like this. Hence, after they looked at each other, they instinctively didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

Just like that, Xu Qing frowned and took dozens of steps. After that, he sensed the Ghost Emperor Palace in his body and stopped in his tracks. He looked at the sky outside as determination appeared on his face.

“Qing Qiu and Ningyan, the two of you will preside over the Secretariat Department, overseeing the compilation of front line information and monitoring the progress of transporting supplies. Qing Qiu, you are granted the authority to utilize the Sword Holding Palace’s array to communicate urgent matters to me through the command sword.”

Qing Qiu hurriedly puffed out her chest and was about to agree loudly when she thought of her pride. Hence, she suppressed her instincts and pretended to be calm as she nodded.

Ning Yan didn’t have so many worries and said yes. After that, he asked curiously.

“Senior Brother Xu, are you going out?”

Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan but didn’t answer this question. He didn’t want to tell others his exact whereabouts. Hence, he calmly spoke.

“I’ll make a trip to the Cloth Forbidden.”

With that, Xu Qing walked out of the Secretariat Department. He then soared to the sky.

The large bird, Qingqin, let out a deep cry and three huge heads appeared from the clouds. They looked at Xu Qing excitedly and expressed a swallowing action, as though they wanted to exterminate another race.

The right head quickly reached below Xu Qing and carried him.
As Xu Qing’s divine sense spread out, Qingqin’s eyes revealed an intense expression. It flapped its wings fiercely and the sky above the county capital instantly exploded. Amidst the rumbling sounds, Qingqin disappeared from this area with Xu Qing.

Qingqin’s speed wasn’t much slower than using teleportation arrays in short distances. For longer distances, the teleportation arrays were much more convenient and faster. However, Xu Qing didn’t want to expose his exact whereabouts in advance. Although he also understood that the possibility of this happening wasn’t high, he still had to be cautious.

Hence, after leaving the range of the county capital, he found a teleportation array of the Sword Holding Palace and stepped in with Qingqin, who had shrunk its size.
