out of time

Chapter 755

The dim crypt, at the moment when the emperor opened and closed his eyes, became bright, and the colorful light enveloped the whole place.

The stars have moved, everything has changed, the caves have been hidden in this light, and a vast starry sky has replaced everything.

It seems that at this moment, Xu Qing was drawn outside Wangwanggu Continent, and appeared in the boundless starry sky. Looking around, the surrounding stars were shining, and the galaxy seemed to flow in the distance.

At the same time, countless stars emerged from the galaxy, gathered together, and finally formed a tall figure.

The figure of starlight, the resplendent imperial robe, the bright imperial crown, and that calm and majestic face.

It is the emperor.

The great emperor outlined by the stars is sitting cross-legged in the starry sky. His power releases the universe, and his connotations spread throughout the past.

Xu Qing was like a speck of dust in front of him.

Xu Qing bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

"Tell me, what is the original intention of the establishment of Sword Holding Palace!"

The deep voice echoed in the starry sky, causing nothingness to wrinkle, and countless stars shaking.

Xu Qing raised his head, looked at the figure of the Great Emperor, and spoke in a concentrated voice with respect.

"Holding the sword in one vein, opening up the highest glory of the human race, creating prosperity and peace for all generations, this is the original intention."

"What is the mission of being a sword bearer?"

The emperor asked again.

"The sword bearer, with the sword as an order, protects the common people, swears to kill the fate of the people, and shines light for the world!"

With the reverberation of Xu Qing's words, the stars that make up the figure of the Great Emperor shone brighter, which seemed to be a kind of recognition that what Xu Qing said was true, was what he thought in his heart.

"What if there is resistance from foreigners?"

The emperor's voice echoed, and these five words contained a hint of fierceness.

Xu Qing looked more serious and spoke calmly.

"cut!"

"What if the human race is in the way?"

Xu Qing didn't hesitate, and immediately made a sound.

"Cut! The emperor is ten thousand, and the emperor lacks one. On behalf of me, I hold the sword department, and everyone under the emperor can be beheaded."

"This emperor, what kind of emperor!"

The emperor's stars were shining, and his voice was full of murder, causing an endless chill to rise in the starry sky.

Xu Qing paused and lowered his head. He needs to think about this question.

After a while, Xu Qing raised his head, with a strange light in his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"This emperor is the ancient emperor?"

The Great Emperor did not speak, Xu Qing was silent for a long time, the Great Emperor's voice echoed in the starry sky with vicissitudes.

"To the sword holder, this emperor is an ancient emperor and a human emperor. But to the Sword Palace, the emperor does not refer to a person."

"The role of the emperor is to continue the ethnic group, so the meaning of the emperor...is the continuation of the ethnic group."

"The so-called emperor and below can be beheaded. For the Sword Palace, it means that anyone who affects the continuation of the ethnic group, holding a sword... can be beheaded!"

"Even if the opponent is the emperor!"

Xu Qing's body trembled. This statement made him breathe slightly short of breath, which was different from the sword-wielder he knew.

At the same time, he also heard what the emperor said about the difference between the sword holder and the sword palace.

And the earliest sword bearer actually came from the sword palace lineage to which the emperor belonged.

"But any right must have limits, so after the lineage of the Sword Palace became the sword bearer, I passed on a decree. After my death, in any era, there will be a successor of the Sword Palace. His duty is... ...Supervisor, only the successor of the Sword Palace has the right to tell you what I just said."

"As for Xiaxian Palace, in addition to recording history, it also has the responsibility of supervising the successors of the Sword Palace. Only in this way has a cycle been formed."

"However, this decree has never been really implemented."

"Because my avatar still has a sliver of life, because... the changes in the future make me unable and dare not let go..."

When Xu Qing heard this, his heart was turbulent. He understood that the heir of the Sword Palace is the last insurance for the continuation of the human race.

In the starry sky, the emperor stared at Xu Qing, and closed his eyes instead of continuing to speak, as if he woke up this time to tell Xu Qing about this insurance.

And as he closed his eyes, the starry sky was blurred, the stars dimmed, everything gradually returned to the appearance of the crypt, and the figure of the Great Emperor also slowly dissipated, turning into the dry skeleton with only a trace of vitality again.

Xu Qing bowed his head, bowed respectfully, and slowly backed away.

But just as he was about to leave and the world was in a state between the crypt and the starry sky, the emperor with his eyes closed suddenly spoke.

"Do you still remember the sentence I sent you when you asked your heart?"

Xu Qing paused and nodded.

"No matter when, this heart will not change."

The emperor stopped speaking, and everything was completely restored. Xu Qing's figure and the surrounding nothingness disappeared together.

Great Emperor, fell asleep again.

The sky, the rainbow dissipated.

Xu Qing's figure appeared outside the Sword Holding Palace, and everything before that was like a dream that belonged to him alone.

And his return attracted countless gazes and divine thoughts.

Most of the forces in the imperial capital are paying attention to Xu Qing. They don't know what the emperor said to Xu Qing, they just saw Xu Qing disappear in the Sword Holding Palace, and return after a stick of incense.

The sword holders all around looked at Xu Qing one after another. There were also the palace masters of this generation of the Sword Holding Palace, but he didn't ask, but just stared at Xu Qing, then turned and walked back to the Sword Holding Palace.

Following his departure, all the sword bearers here followed one after another and returned to the sword palace, but every sword bearer is here today, imprinting Xu Qing's figure in his heart.

With their departure, there was an empty space outside the Sword Holding Palace.

Only Xu Qing stood there with his eyes closed, and the scenes of meeting the emperor before appeared in his mind, and gradually a touch of sadness rose in his heart.

"Great Emperor, are you about to fall..."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart. He felt a sense of support for the orphan. This orphan was from the human race.

After a long time, Xu Qing opened his eyes, cupped his fists and bowed to the Sword Holding Palace, and left with a complicated expression.

Firmament, night sky.

The moon was sparse and the breeze was caressing Xu Qing as he walked on the street, his clothes fluttering and his long hair spread out.

The wind here is different from the wind in Fenghai County.

Not so moist, a little dry.

Blowing on the body brings a sense of strangeness.

Xu Qing walked forward silently, and the things that happened after arriving in the imperial capital came to mind, one after another, and he needed some time to settle them down.

Just like that, after a while, Xu Qing saw the lake outside Ning Yan's mansion. Under the moonlight, the lake was like a mirror, reflecting the sky. The moon in the sky is more real.

Time passed, night passed.

Xu Qing, who returned to the mansion, meditated all night, recounting the events of the day in his heart one by one. At the moment of dawn, he raised his head to look in the direction of the Sword Holding Palace, and sighed softly.

And with the arrival of the day, the jade slips sent to the Tenth Prince's Mansion also responded.

The tenth prince refused and told him that this was nonsense.

This is not reasonable.

You must know that Xu Qing's behavior after coming to the imperial capital made anyone with some brains not choose to be a bird at this time to test Xu Qing's bottom line for others.

Especially when the great emperor summoned him after his recovery.

Logically speaking, the Tenth Prince should choose to return it, which is in line with human nature, unless he is a fool.

Xu Qing shook his head, he didn't think that the Tenth Prince was a fool, so it was obviously in the Tenth Prince's own interest to do so.

"In this imperial capital, it is really complicated, and everyone has more than one mask."

Xu Qing showed coldness in his eyes, stood up, and left the mansion with Ning Yan, Kong Xianglong and others.

As for the captain and Zixuan, they went out early in the morning and disappeared.

On the way to the Tenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Yan looked at Xu Qing with admiration and awe. He naturally knew about the emperor's recovery yesterday.

Then he thought of the behavior of the Tenth Prince, he moved closer to Xu Qing, and spoke in a low voice.

"Boss, the tenth prince is heartless. He has ordinary aptitude, and his cultivation level is still average. When he was a child, he was not liked by his mother's family, and his father didn't like to see him. My mother saw him as lonely and pitiful. She used to take care of him in the palace. for several years, but he became ungrateful immediately after my mother died."

"Go and see and you'll know."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, Ning Yan stopped talking, and the group gradually came to the east of the city, and soon a luxurious mansion came into their eyes.

This mansion is resplendent and resplendent, as if afraid that others would not know its dignity, even the town beasts outside the mansion are made of spirit stones, and there is a lot of people inside, as if a banquet is being held.

The sound of talking and laughing came from inside, and the sound of music and music also echoed.

Outside the gate, there were two guards. For Xu Qing's arrival, the two guards were a little nervous, and their internal cultivation was rising, as if they were facing an enemy.

Xu Qing did not choose to force his way in. Outside the gate, he let the guard at the gate report. However, after waiting for a long time and receiving no response, he thought about it and walked forward.

The two guards were about to stop him, but Xu Qing had already walked through them, and when he reached the red gate, he raised his right hand and pressed on it.

With this press, the door roared, and cracks spread rapidly from the place Xu Qing touched, and after spreading to the entire range in the next instant, they were directly torn apart and collapsed.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and those broken door panels rolled towards the mansion at this moment, spilling all over the ground, and there was a sharp sound coming from the mansion, and soon hundreds of monks followed Xu Qing into the room. , roaring towards him.

"Stop comers!"

"This is the Tenth Prince's Mansion, how dare you be so disrespectful!"

These hundreds of monks roared furiously, but their speed was a little slow for some reason, and the howling sound was loud, but none of them really approached, and even Xu Qing and his party were allowed to walk directly through the courtyard and appear at the banquet place.

In the banquet at the moment, there were dozens of dandies sitting around, surrounded by maids, and it was a scene of debauchery.

There was a young man in the middle, wearing a prince's robe, with a domineering expression, squinting at Xu Qing and Ning Yan who were approaching, took out a special storage bag in his hand, put it on the desk, and sneered.

"Get out."

People around looked at it one after another.

Xu Qing looked as usual, but raised his right hand, and the purple ball floated up.

The expressions of the people at the banquet changed suddenly. The Tenth Prince stood up with a gloomy expression. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Qing swayed and went directly to the Tenth Prince. He raised his right hand and pressed it with deep eyes.

The divine possession behind him transformed into a terrifying aura. With one touch, the pupils of the Tenth Prince's eyes shrank slightly, and then blood spurted out. He took a few steps back and fell into a coma.

Ning Yan walked a few steps quickly, arrived at the case, picked up the storage bag to check it, and nodded excitedly at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at the unconscious Tenth Prince, then turned and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he looked back with a meaningful look.

After a stick of incense, in the prince's mansion, the old ten opened his eyes in a daze, seeing everything clearly and knowing the follow-up from the people around him, he was furious.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly left. The old ten punished all the guards with anger. After the roar echoed, he walked into the bedroom with resentment in his eyes.

And at the moment when the door of the dormitory was closed, no one saw that the resentment in the old ten's eyes disappeared for a moment, and a touch of emotion appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Aunt Qing, Xinhai's ability is limited, all I can do for you is to protect your belongings on behalf of Twelve...now it will finally return to its original owner."

Old Ten murmured in his heart, thinking of the deceased elder, he felt a little bitter.

In that cold and indifferent palace, he will never forget who gave his mother the warmth.

"Unfortunately, I can only use this method. I can't let people see my nostalgia, but I can definitely find out the cause of your death, Aunt Qing!"
