Outside Of Time

1058 Although the Lord Is Young, He Has Experienced Much

The identity of this valiant woman was none other than Xu Qing's neighbor in the Moon Rebel Hall.

The statue of the Moon Rebel Hall not only concealed one's appearance but also one's gender.

Before the outbreak of resistance, no one knew that behind the statue of the burly man, there was actually such a woman.

This woman's personality was clearly similar to a man's, which could be seen from her bold words.

As the first person to follow Master Pill Nine and had listened to his Dao sound for two months, in addition to the fact that she had spontaneously formed a follower team from the start, these qualifications caused Xu Qing's neighbor to have a very high reputation.

Moreover, this woman was quite skilled in organizational matters, and she was able to form a following of several thousand people.

These were only the core members. There were still many followers scattered around the Moon Worship. As for those who knew about Pill Nine and believed in him, there were even more.

At that moment, when these people and the subordinates of the fourth hall master got close to the green sand desert, Xu Qing also received a visit from Ancestor Mogui.

Although the heir and the others had left, the control was with Xu Qing. As the staff of the apothecary, Ancestor Mogui didn't dare to act rashly on the surface no matter what.

However, in his heart, he still didn't think much of Xu Qing.

This wasn't because of Xu Qing's identity but because of his age.

In Ancestor Mogui's opinion, dealing with such a major matter wasn't something a child could do.

"Young Master, this time is a little different from before."

In the apothecary, Ancestor Mogui's expression was solemn as he spoke to Xu Qing.

"Last time, the heir and the others were all holding down the fort, so we could open the protective barrier and let the fourth hall master and the others enter. But now…" Ancestor Mogui looked at Xu Qing.

"Moreover, the Red Moon army is pursuing the fourth hall master. So, I suggest that we don't release the gray wind barrier this time."

In the apothecary, the atmosphere became tense because of Ancestor Mogui's words. Ning Yan no longer wiped the ground, and Wu Jianwu no longer recited poetry. Li Youfei and Nether Fairy both looked at Xu Qing.

Among them, only Li Youfei's nervousness was obvious. As for Ning Yan, his expression was solemn. He was Xu Qing's subordinate in Fenghai County to begin with and knew the things that had happened around Xu Qing. He had also personally seen Xu Qing's great contribution in Fenghai County and the various forces he had affected.

Hence, he understood that Xu Qing had experience and vision to deal with such matters.

Although Wu Jianwu didn't know as much as Ning Yan, he had heard of Xu Qing's deeds. Nether Fairy had seen Xu Qing on the battlefield with her own eyes back then. Later, she had heard about the change in the deputy governor of Fenghai County. Hence, she understood that the other party wasn't as simple as he looked.

However, it was obvious that Ancestor Mogui didn't know. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing and spoke again.

"Please make a decision, Young Master!"

Ancestor Mogui's expression was solemn. The situation outside had reached the most critical moment, and once the protective barrier was released, the peace of the desert would be at the risk of being shattered.

Under everyone's gazes, Xu Qing sat at the seat where the heir originally sat and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Ling'er understood that the situation was serious. Hence, she obediently stood behind Xu Qing.

Time passed bit by bit and Xu Qing didn't speak. An invisible dignity gradually formed on his body.

At that moment, he seemed to have returned to Fenghai County back then when he took charge of the Sword Holding Palace in the old Palace Master's name. At that time, he had far fewer trump cards than he did now, but he still managed to turn the tables to a certain extent.

"How's our current military strength?" Xu Qing opened his eyes and calmly asked.

"The entire desert is weak to begin with. Although the gray wind has formed a protective barrier, our forces are still not very strong. Including me, there are a total of three Nihility experts in the entire desert."

"As for the Spirit Repository, there are nine of them, including the ones in the Wind Guard Race."

"There are over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators and the rest are all low-level cultivators."

"I haven't calculated the strength of our apothecary."

Ancestor Mogui was a little surprised by Xu Qing's calmness but he still answered and reminded.

"Our current strength is a drop in the bucket compared to the Red Moon Shrine. Unless the heir returns… we can't resist them."

Ancestor Mogui was about to continue when he suddenly took out a jade slip and looked at the message, revealing a surprised expression.

"Young Master, I just received news that the fourth hall master's army has changed directions. They aren't running toward us but are moving in another direction, far away from the desert as though they want to fight to the death with the Red Moon's pursuit army."

"They don't want to make things difficult for us…"

Mogui spoke in a low voice. His expression was complicated and helpless.

Xu Qing nodded and picked up the teacup at the side. He didn't drink it but held it in his hand and stared at the tea inside. Vaguely, he seemed to see a figure in the depths of his memory in this tea.

Back then, that person stood at the border of Fenghai County and burned himself, stopping the enemy alone, becoming an eternal memory for all those who witnessed him.

At that time, the shock and piercing pain in Xu Qing's heart were extremely intense. However, he was helpless and couldn't save him at all.

Now… he saw a similar person.

After a long time, he calmly spoke.

"Firstly, gather all the cultivators of the desert in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. This place will serve as the center, and without my command, no one is allowed to venture out in the slightest."

"Secondly, inform the fourth hall master that there's no need to change directions. Just come to the desert."

Xu Qing stood up as he spoke.

When Ancestor Mogui heard this, he hesitated.

Xu Qing looked at Mogui calmly and spoke.

"The Red Moon Star has already covered half of the sky, and the impending calamity is just a few months away. If we sit back and watch as the fourth hall master and the others fight against the Red Moon cultivators, this rebellion would lose its meaning."

 

         

      

  

    

"Besides, after the fourth hall master and the others are captured and killed, will the Red Moon Shrine let go of the desert? Whether it be our shared goals or that our well-being is tied to each other, we have to take action."

"There's no need to discuss this anymore!"

"Ning Yan!"

"Your humble servant is here!" Ning Yan's entire body trembled as he took a step forward. He stood upright as though he had returned to Fenghai County.

"You are the edict bearer. You will follow Senior Mogui and announce my intentions."

"As you command!" Ning Yan replied loudly.

"Wu Jianwu!"

"Here!" Wu Jianwu was influenced by the atmosphere and hurriedly spoke.

"Release all your descendants, especially the parrot, to spread throughout the desert as scouts!"

Wu Jianwu didn't dare to disobey and quickly nodded.

"Nether Fairy!"

Nether Fairy didn't speak but she also lifted her head and looked at Xu Qing.

"Help me protect Ling'er and the apothecary. Li Youfei will follow you."

"Alright!" Nether Fairy agreed. Li Youfei also hurriedly nodded. He could sense that Xu Qing was different from before.

After Xu Qing finished giving his instructions, he took out a jade token and transferred it to Ling'er.

"When the God Slaying Platform appears in the sky outside, crush this jade token!"

With that, Xu Qing walked out of the apothecary. With a wave of his hand, the chicks in the backyard let out cries and flew out in unison. As their bodies shone, they transformed from little chicks to large chicks.

Those who had made contributions before, their feathers were exceptionally vibrant, clearly indicating an elevated status. One could even discern their true forms beneath the feathers.

If they made some contributions, their true forms would be restored to a certain extent and they would be given some freedom.

At that moment, they scrambled to be the first to rush forward. They followed beside Xu Qing and headed straight for the sky.

When Ancestor Mogui saw this scene, he was a little moved. He could discern that Xu Qing planned to bring these chicks and personally receive the fourth hall master's group.

"This…"

Although Mogui approved Xu Qing's words, he was still a little hesitant. Hence, he instinctively gazed at Ning Yan and the others. He didn't fancy these low-level cultivators but there was no one else he could ask now.

"The young master…"

"Don't worry, this matter is nothing to my lord. Back then, in Fenghai County, my lord was alone. He resolved the chaos in the two great forbidden regions and recruited ten million soldiers for the frontline battlefield. Not to mention the first stage of Nihility, there were even second and third stages who had to follow his commands. Which race didn't dare to obey?"

Ning Yan said proudly.

"He even exposed the conspiracy of the deputy governor and brought it to light before the entire county. Even the Human Emperor issued an edict acknowledging and endorsing his future status as the county governor, because in Fenghai County, my lord is the center of attention and the hearts of the people are with him."

When Mogui heard this, his eyes narrowed and his heart trembled. He could discern that Ning Yan wasn't lying but these few short sentences caused huge waves in his heart.

'Resolved the danger of the forbidden regions and recruited ten million soldiers? County governor?'

While he was trembling at this shocking revelation, Xu Qing stood on the head of a large chick and left.

As they sped, his eyes turned pitch-black. The power of the Poison Restriction spread out with all its might along with the storm. Very soon, the gray wind in his surroundings turned black and enveloped the surroundings.

The poison intent within churned, causing the hearts of those little chicks to palpitate.

Only Xu Qing was expressionless. When the power of the Poison Restriction reached the extreme, he had arrived at the edge of the desert.

Here, as Xu Qing waved his hand, the sandstorm in front of him rumbled and separated to the sides.

A deafening sound spread in all directions.

From afar, when the sandstorm opened, it transformed into a canyon, revealing a vast path. Outside the path, one could see the army of the fourth hall master fighting against the cultivators of the Red Moon Shrine.

The battle was tragic and there were many casualties.

The rumbling sound from the desert spread out and this abnormality attracted the attention of both sides outside. Most of them instantly gazed in Xu Qing's direction.

The followers of Master Pill Nine also gazed over.

The instant everyone's gazes fell on him, Xu Qing raised his right hand from the gap in the sandstorm at the edge of the desert and pointed forward.

"Poison!"

With his word, the wind of the Poison Restriction in his surroundings suddenly erupted and surged forward. Its aura was monstrous and the black fog devoured everything. Wherever it passed, the anomalous substances would become dense and the surroundings would turn blurry, giving off a feeling of distortion.

Nothing could escape the Poison Restriction and it rapidly drowned out the Red Moon cultivator army.

From afar, the poison fog was like an ocean that surged forward, causing the hearts of everyone who observed it to shake and feel horror.

Even the ground was corroded and turned pitch-black. Even the blood-colored sky couldn't penetrate the poison fog and the void shattered in front of it.

After Xu Qing integrated the Poison Restriction into his eyes, this was the first time it had truly shown its might.

Xu Qing coldly watched all of this. The divinity in his body appeared to be rising at this moment.

"Divine cultivator!"

Someone in the crowd let out a trembling cry of surprise.
