Outside Of Time

It was late afternoon. The sky was originally clear and bright but with the arrival of the white-clothed woman, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the air above her head and there were faint bolts of lightning contained within them.

The malevolent ghost face formed by the dark clouds revealed a savage intent as it looked down. It was as though as long as the woman had a thought, this ghost would rush to the Homicide Department and pounce on Xu Qing.

There were usually very few people outside the Homicide Department, but now, there was no one around.

After Xu Qing received the news, he immediately made the disciples of the Homicide Department leave.

He was the only one in the Homicide Department now.

He was sitting in the guest pavilion with the picture of the evil ghosts fighting for food behind him. When he heard this, he lifted his head and his calm gaze landed on the white-clothed woman outside the gate.

Xu Qing didn't care about the cloud ghost in the sky, nor did he pay attention to the black ball ghosts following the woman.

He was staring at the woman, as though he could see through her essence.

"Clone?"

A hint of emotion appeared in Xu Qing's eyes as he played with a jade slip in his hand. This was something that the Intelligence Department had sent over the moment the other party stepped into the Seven Blood Eyes.

It introduced the origins and background of this woman in detail.

"The main cultivation style of the Bizarre Hunting Sect focuses on bloodlines and cultivation arts are supplementary. This sect has enshrined four great bloodline sources, and allows its disciples to transplant them into their bodies. Every bloodline has its own mystical aspects and has miraculous effects on bizarre entities. As for their origins, there are many different opinions."

"Among them, the bloodline transplanted by the surname Sima is called the Seal Wraith Blood. It has astonishing advantages in regards to sealing bizarre entities. However, although these four great bloodlines are strong, they are weaker than the legendary mysterious race in the Wanggu Continent, Bizarre Companion Race."

"Sima Ru's talent is extraordinary. She had astonishing compatibility with the Seal Wraith Bloodline, and her abilities were boosted significantly after she transplanted the bloodline. She was in the Sequence of the Bizarre Hunting Sect many years ago. Although she wasn't first in the Sequence, the few people ranked above her were Golden Core cultivators. She suppressed the Foundation Building disciples of all the bloodlines of her sect for many years before breaking through to the Heavenly Palace Golden Core realm."

"Her main body is in closed-door cultivation now, so what came is a clone refined from her bone when she was at the peak of Foundation Building. This clone has many bizarre entities sealed in it, and its combat strength exceeds four fires. However, it hasn't reached five fires yet, and should be at the level of four and a half fires."

When the contents of the jade slip appeared in Xu Qing's mind, the white-clothed woman, Sima Ru, looked at the guest pavilion Xu Qing was in and spoke politely.

"My brother is mischievous and has caused you trouble."

"I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

Sima Ru's voice was clear and chilly. After she finished speaking, the large number of black ball ghosts around her hair copied Sima Ru.

"I apologize, I apologize."

"Caused you trouble, caused you trouble."

The voices were densely packed, as though countless children were speaking at different times. At the same time, the many faces on the umbrella Sima Ru held also cried and laughed.

This scene caused the heaven's chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance who were paying attention to this place in the distance to gasp. In reality, the Bizarre Hunting Sect was extremely mysterious among the seven sects and the other sects usually didn't like to interact with them.

Xu Qing looked at Sima Ru from afar.

This was the first time he came into contact with her and he didn't know her personality. However, she had been very polite since she arrived. She didn't barge in forcefully or make unreasonable demands. She even apologized on behalf of her younger brother.

She was far from being as domineering as Sima Ling.

It was very difficult for Xu Qing to feel hostility toward such a person. However, his vigilance wouldn't decrease because of this. Hence, he calmly spoke.

"I have to report this matter to the sect. You can wait a few days."

The white-clothed woman nodded lightly when she heard this. Her expression was elegant as she looked at Xu Qing. Her cold voice rang out softly.

"I can wait for a few days. Since it's my younger brother's fault, I have apologized to you on his behalf."

"Then, how should you apologize for hitting him?"

"My brother likes to collect eyes. Let's use one of your eyes as an apology gift."

From the start to the end, this white-clothed woman's expression was polite and gentle. Even after saying these words, her expression was still the same. She didn't reveal any anger, as though everything was natural.

When Xu Qing heard these three sentences, he fell silent. He retracted his gaze and dispelled the thought of releasing Sima Ling.

At the same time, as her voice rang out, Sima Ru slowly drifted forward, moving past the gate of the Homicide Department and entering the courtyard. As she arrived, the clouds above her head rumbled and rolled forward, enveloping the Homicide Department.

At the same time, those black ball ghosts also scrambled to jump in through the gate. As they jumped, they repeated Sima Ru's words.

"Apologize, apologize."

"Apologize, apologize…" Amidst the many voices, a black ball ghost landed in a dark spot. The moment its body landed on the ground, it was as though it had fallen into an abyss and instantly disappeared. Its voice also stopped abruptly.

Almost at the instant the black ball ghost disappeared, the array formation in the Homicide Department was activated. This array formation isolated the outside world and also seemed to have sealed this place, preventing outsiders from sensing what was going on inside.

A suppressive force also descended.

However, when Sima Ru took out a white token from her pocket, this suppression instantly stopped. Clearly, this token was no small matter. It reflected her identity and high status in the upper sect.

Although the isolation power still existed, the Seven Blood Eyes' critical suppression toward outsiders was completely ineffective against her.

The dignified Seven Blood Eyes' sect-protecting array formation actually lost its suppressive force with a wave of an outsider's hand.

This feeling was like someone else had the right to use your thing and this right even surpassed yours. Whether it was secretly or right in front of you, they could use it as they willed. However, you could not even say anything because on the surface, it really belonged to the other party.

This caused Xu Qing to sigh inwardly. He suddenly understood why the ancestor and the others were making such a big plan secretly.

No matter who it was, they didn't want to be controlled by others forever. With a word from the other party, they could rotate their disciples. With a token, the other party could make the array formation that protected the safety of their sect lose its effect.

This was especially so in this chaotic world. Everyone was a wild beast and they weren't willing to live under others.

In fact, Xu Qing even felt that if the higher-ups of the Seven Sects Alliance arrived, there was a high chance that the Seven Blood Eyes' array formation would be suppressed by the other party with a wave of their hand and used against the Seven Blood Eyes!

"You used this array formation to remove my brother's Dao Protector from the battlefield, right?" Sima Ru, who was floating toward Xu Qing, spoke softly.

At that moment, she had already drifted past the courtyard and arrived outside the guest pavilion. She didn't stop at all and directly floated into the guest pavilion. However, the instant her voice spread and her body floated in, Xu Qing moved.

He took a step forward and arrived in front of Sima Ru. His face was expressionless as he punched out.

This punch contained a ferocious power that produced monstrous thunder that rumbled in all directions.

The instant Xu Qing attacked, the shadow on the ground in the courtyard suddenly rose and transformed into eyes that turned into large mouths that devoured the black ball ghosts.

At the same time, a black bolt of lightning quickly rushed out from a hidden area at the side, heading straight for the cloud ghost that was about to pounce down.

In an instant, shocking sounds erupted deafeningly.

Sima Ru's body shook. Under Xu Qing's punch, her body was sent flying out of the guest pavilion.

Her calm expression changed for the first time. All the bizarre faces on the umbrella widened their eyes. They weren't looking at Xu Qing but the ground of the courtyard.

All the black balls were gone.

A dark glint appeared in Sima Ru's eyes as she stared at the person who walked out of the guest pavilion.

Flames rose from the pavilion and spread out intensely, transforming into the shape of a Golden Crow.

Amidst the flames, there was a faint figure of a youth walking out step by step.

The Golden Crow let out a cry outside the youth's body. He was like the lord of flames. The Golden Crow's tail flames transformed into an emperor's robe, making him appear extremely noble. At the same time, the youth's long hair fluttered and the sea of fire became his cloak.

As he walked out, the flaming cloak behind him spread out even more, shaking the surroundings. The Golden Crow bent down, its head staying above the youth's head like an emperor's crown.

Coupled with his peerlessly handsome face, Xu Qing strode forward, his every step emitting a majestic aura. He was like a young ancient sovereign walking into the human world.

"Golden Crow Refines All Life!" Sima Ru stared at Xu Qing. As she spoke word by word, her body blurred and her speed erupted in an instant, suddenly appearing in front of Xu Qing. She then ruthlessly punched at his eyes.

Xu Qing lowered his head and slammed it forcefully against the woman's hand.

This fighting style caused Sima Ru's mind to shake. Crack, Sima Ru's right hand collapsed. Her expression revealed a hint of shock as she rapidly retreated.

Xu Qing rushed forward. His speed was so fast that it actually surpassed Sima Ru's. After catching up, he grabbed her hair and smashed her fiercely to the ground!

The ground rumbled and shattered.

Sima Ru's body suddenly transformed into a large amount of fog that spread out from Xu Qing's hand. Mournful cries rang out and this fog formed a large number of bizarre entity phantoms that rushed toward Xu Qing from all directions.

Sima Ru's ghost umbrella appeared above Xu Qing's head and suppressed him.

However, how could a mere ghost umbrella suppress the Golden Crow!

The Golden Crow that had formed the crown suddenly lifted its head. A hint of disdain appeared in its eyes as it charged above.
