out of time

Chapter 754
As soon as the sound came out, the ground in the imperial capital trembled, and countless buildings resonated with it. Even the formations in the capital shone brightly. On the sky, rainbows appeared like auspicious signs.

The various forces in the capital city, countless strong men, all of them looked very dignified, and the complexions of many of them changed rapidly, and their hearts were churning.

Indeed, Xu Qing's arrival, in just one day, has touched the minds of too many people.

From the perspective of others, Xu Qing's power is astonishing, causing the fall of the king of heaven, sitting on one and a half of the big domain, and even forming an alliance with the Jiyue domain, and has a rare experience of slaughtering gods.

If an ordinary person has one of these things, he is already an extraordinary person, not to mention that Xu Qing has all of them here.

Especially when he entered the battle forcefully, revealing his style of conduct, the Sun of Dawn frightened all directions, and then worshiped the statue of the Great Emperor, holding the sword of the Great Emperor for countless years, the sound of recovery came out for the fourth time.

These kinds of things made it impossible for Xu Qing not to be noticed.

At this moment, the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect was also feeling emotional in his heart. Although he didn't dare to transmit the voice to Xu Qing at this juncture, the fluctuations in his heart were not small.

He felt that according to the ancient books he had read, the general protagonists would not behave like this, and they usually acted in a low-key manner... Only the protagonist's opponent, a certain super villain in the ancient books, this type of character, after returning to the court, will There will be such a shocking plot.

He has studied such plots, and most of them are to highlight the horror of the enemy, and to set up a goal for the protagonist, and then let the protagonist overcome it step by step, so that readers can get the pleasure of a small person defeating a big one.

"This... master, it's the other way around..."

The Patriarch of the Vajra Sect felt a little trembling in his heart. He felt that there was a big gap between what happened to Xu Qing and the ancient books he had read.

He is like this, not to mention other people in the imperial capital who don't know Xu Qing well.

And Xu Qing's performance was one of the few people in the Xuanzhan calendar who could shake the entire capital so much.

Especially the recovery of the sword-wielding emperor, this matter is so big that it can be recorded in the history of the human race.

According to the records in ancient books, the statue of the sword-wielding emperor has always been in a state of sleep. Only when the sword-wielders from all sides are assessed, will there be distractions and the responsibility of asking the heart.

Before that, it had revived three times.

The first time was during the period of Dongsheng Human Emperor. After the human race experienced a big defeat, Chen Shuyan, the master of the Palace of Holding Swords at that time, summoned the emperor before he died, begging to wake up.

At that moment, the statue of the Emperor Holding the Sword revived for the first time, and it was precisely that revival that made the Yanyue Xuantian Clan, due to some causes and effects, not choose to exterminate the clan.

The second time was during the reign of Emperor Jingyun. At that time, Wang Ken, the owner of the Palace of Holding Swords, once entered the palace with a sword when Prince Ziqing was besieged by thousands of people... After that, he did not return.

And the sword-wielding emperor, who woke up that day, stared at the south, and let out a sigh.

The third time, not very far away from now, was at the moment when Xuan Zhan Renhuang ascended the throne, the emperor regained consciousness, and stared at him with deep meaning, sternness and expectation in his eyes.

According to ancient records, the Great Emperor sent a voice transmission to the Emperor. The specific words, except for the Emperor, no one knew about it. Outsiders could only see that the Emperor was silent for a while, then bowed to the Emperor with firm eyes.

Now, it's the fourth time.

All of a sudden, countless gazes and divine thoughts came from all directions in the capital city, and this matter spread rapidly across the human race like a storm.

Discussions and sound transmissions from all directions also reverberate in the sea of ​​mind at this moment.

And Xu Qing's information is not a secret to all parties in the capital, especially his questioning.

So soon, most of the parties guessed the cause and effect.

"There is one important point in Xu Qing's message. He is the first person to hold a sword and ask his heart since the Xuanzhan calendar! This matter may be the reason why the emperor awakened him!"

In the imperial palace, Fengyang Pavilion, Princess Anhai stood in front of the window, looking at the statue of the Great Sword-wielding Emperor, all kinds of Xu Qing's thoughts appeared in her mind, after a long while, she looked away and murmured.

"The emperor revived her. This matter... seems to be taken care of, but why do I feel as if I am entrusted with my loneliness?"

At the same time, in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the Seventh Prince closed his eyes and sat silently in the attic of the mansion. There were dozens of monks behind him, all silent.

The entire attic was quiet, but if you looked carefully, you could see the hands in the cuffs of the Seventh Prince, who had already grasped them tightly at some point.

There is also the tenth prince's mansion. Outsiders think that the tenth prince, who has always been arrogant and domineering, lost his temper in front of his servants, but in the absence of anyone, under his tyrannical expression, there is a gloomy and cold look. fleeting.

Most of the other princes also have different thoughts at this moment, in their own places. As for whether the surface expression is consistent with the heart, outsiders don't know.

There are also some dignitaries and heavenly kings who are at the peak, such as Dazai Taiwei, etc. Their expressions are much calmer, and they don't see too many waves, but most of them stare at the statue of the sword-wielding emperor, and then land on the palace, each with a deep meaning .

Xuanzhan ascended the throne, and the emperor revived.

After many years, Xu Qing came, and the emperor revived again...

In the imperial palace, Guantian Pavilion, Renhuang was expressionless, did not look to the outside world, but stared at the chessboard in front of him, holding a white piece in his hand, and gently put it down.

"Your Majesty, I have already answered your question, but you haven't told me what the Sword Emperor said to you when you ascended the throne?"

On the opposite side of the chessboard, the national teacher smiled and dropped sunspots.

Renhuang raised his head, looked at the national teacher calmly, and spoke lightly.

"The emperor told me that he regretted what happened to Prince Ziqing back then. If I ever meet him in this life, he will return the skull that was taken away by Jingyun and buried with him."

"Didn't you receive it?"

Renhuang is understated, but every word contains deep meaning.

The national teacher was silent, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face again.

"I will never be lonely when I meet someone like His Majesty in this life."

Human Sovereign ignored it, picked up a white piece, and was about to put it down, but at this moment, a vast sound echoed in the capital city.

"Little friend, come to Sword Holding Palace, I will wait for you there."

As soon as the voice came out, Renhuang paused the hand holding the chess piece, and slowly raised his head.

The national teacher opposite him also turned his head with strange eyes.

All the beings in the capital, all the strong, their inner fluctuations became stronger again.

That was the voice of the sword-wielding emperor, and the emperor's recovery had a different meaning from summoning him.

Especially in the Palace of Holding Swords, from the palace lord to the ordinary holding swords, all expressions change.

Under the statue of the Great Emperor Holding the Sword, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the statue of the Great Emperor, feeling endless waves in his heart. After a long time, he took a deep breath, bowed again, got up and walked towards the Palace of Holding the Sword.

Xu Qing had seen the location of the Palace of Swords before, and knew the location, and all the patrolling sword holders on the road, after seeing Xu Qing, performed the unique ritual of holding swords to guide him.

Xu Qing is also a sword bearer.

In this way, he walked all the way, until an hour later, a special building came into Xu Qing's eyes.

It was a group of palaces, and the overall appearance looked like two big swords.

One was placed on the ground, and the other pierced the ground at the head and stood upright.

The area is large enough to accommodate millions of people. This is the headquarters of the Sword-holding Palace in the Five Palaces of the Shangxuan of the Human Race.

When Xu Qing arrived, outside the headquarters of the Sword-holding Palace, most of the sword-holders who stayed here were waiting outside. Zhou Hengzhi, the master of the Sword-holding Palace of this generation and also one of the heavenly kings, was also standing there.

Regarding the emperor's summons, the Sword Holding Palace, which has always strictly followed the rules, did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In the crowd, there was another figure who had seen Xu Qing before. He was Huang Kun at the Seventh Prince's banquet. The Seventh Prince's introduction said that the ancestor of Huang Kun's family was the chief deacon of the Palace of Holding Swords.

At this moment, Huang Kun's heart was churning. As one of the few people in the imperial capital who had ever met Xu Qing, he felt incredible about what happened in the Shenglan Dayu afterwards.

Especially the recovery of the great emperor and the solemnity of the whole palace made him feel a strong gap.

Back then, when everyone sat together, he had a certain attitude in his heart. After all, at that time, in his view, Xu Qing was just a swordsman in a remote place. Although he had a special status in Fenghai County, he had nothing to do with him.

As for whether it can really grow up in the future, that is unknown.

But now... He looked around at his colleagues and sighed in his heart.

Now he can only be with countless people, staring at the figure walking in the distance.

Xu Qing didn't notice Huang Kun. He was in a turbulent mood at the moment. Although he tried his best to calm himself down, out of respect for the emperor, the feeling of pilgrimage was extremely strong.

So when he saw the sword-wielding palace and the many sword-wielders outside, Xu Qing paused. He took off his cyan long gown, took out the sword-wielding robes from his storage bag, and put them on.

Wearing the same white Taoist robe as everyone else, Xu Qing who stood there became a whole with everyone around him.

Countless gazes from the sword holders also became a little different, and even the palace master and the high-level officials of the sword palace nodded slightly.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and stepped forward. Under the eyes of all the sword holders, he came to the front of the palace, looked solemnly at the master of the sword holding palace, and performed the ceremony of holding the sword.

"At the call of the Great Emperor, Xu Qing, the sword bearer, came here to face the Holy Spirit."

Zhou Hengzhi, the owner of the Sword Holding Palace, is a middle-aged man with a serious expression. He looked at Xu Qing and nodded for a long time.

"go in."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it, and the palace gate behind him immediately became a vortex, and the sword energy lingered inside, arousing the emperor swords of all the sword holders to resonate.

Xu Qing solemnly walked towards the vortex. The moment he stepped into the vortex, he did not appear in the palace gate, but came to a top-secret forbidden area of ​​the Sword Holding Palace.

It was a crypt with simple layout, only one altar, and on the altar sat cross-legged a withered person.

This person is old and withered, like a mummy, with a strong sense of withering, except for the position of the heart, which occasionally beats, and there is still a glimmer of life.

And on his body, there are countless scars, densely packed, shocking.

It was an injury left over countless years to protect the human race.

Each one carries divine power, and is the wound of the gods.

And he is the avatar of the Emperor Holding the Sword, the last emperor in the history of the human race, and... the only emperor who has not left and is still protecting the human race!

Looking at the emperor and those scars, Xu Qing's respect grew stronger, and he knelt down and bowed.

The emperor's closed eyes slowly opened.
