OUTSIDE OF TIME

505 Xu Qing’s Counterattack (2)

“This stain can cover the glory of his 100,000 feet light, but it’s still not enough. This matter still needs to be recorded several times in different ways. After many times, his boundless radiance will dim in the eyes of the world. We can then make arrangements against him.”

“No one will be able to say anything at that time. As for his life lanterns, you can’t take them directly even if you want them. Change the method. After you hand them over, exchange for them with your contributions. Only then will you obtain them properly.”

“When doing things, it’s not all about fighting and killing. You still need more experience.”

Zhang Siyun’s mother spoke softly. Her voice was like a clear spring, but this spring was pitch-black and contained venom.

Zhang Siyun took a deep breath and bowed deeply to his mother.

At the same time, in the prison of the Law Palace, Xu Qing sat cross-legged in the cage and looked around calmly.

The cage here wasn’t the prison of the county capital but a temporary place of imprisonment of the Law Palace. There were such cells in the Homicide Department too.

There weren’t many prisoners here, but because there was no ventilation, stench and humidity permeated the air.

Xu Qing’s cultivation base was also completely suppressed under the effect of the torture tools. However, this was only on the surface. He had too many ways to recover his cultivation.

Regardless of whether it was the shadow, the Poison Restriction in his body, or the power of the purple moon, they could all allow him to do this.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry.

He had already verified his safety. This matter was targeted at him, but the effect of 100,000 feet light was also displayed at this moment.

After he put himself in the other party’s shoes, everything became clearer.

“They are deliberately smearing my reputation and leaving a stain to remove the invisible protection granted by the 100,000 feet light.”

“Not a bad idea, but the method is very crude.”

Xu Qing shook his head.

In his judgment, the other party would probably release him in a few days with the excuse of delaying the investigation. However, the matter hadn’t been resolved, so there would definitely be a mark on his resume.

To the human orthodoxy who paid attention to the resumes, his resume would not be clean anymore.

Other than the 100,000 feet light, there would also be a doubt of overstepping his authority.

Although it was only suspicion, the other party would probably follow up with some other arrangements to complete their goal.

This matter seemed ingenious but in reality, the other party didn’t have any higher-level schemes.

A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. It was very easy to resolve this matter but what he wanted wasn’t just to resolve it. That wasn’t his personality, what he wanted was to counterattack.

Just like back in the slums, if he couldn’t immediately kill someone who revealed hostility, he would think of a way to make them feel pain.

Back then, when the Diamond Sect’s ancestor chased after him, he could clearly have escaped but he still chose to return and burn the Diamond Sect. It was because of his personality.

However, the method of counterattack was naturally different in different environments.

Xu Qing closed his eyes.

He had already thought of a way to counterattack.

Time flowed by and very soon, three days passed.

The disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance’s branch sect who had been imprisoned for ten days were all released by the Law Palace.

In these ten days, although they were interrogated, the questions they were asked were all random and didn’t have any specific topic. As a result, even now, they didn’t know the reason for their imprisonment.

The moment they walked out of the Law Palace, they saw Purple Mystic Fairy and the others waiting outside after receiving the news.

“Greetings, Fairy!” The sect master of the branch sect was from the Third Peak. The instant he saw Purple Mystic Fairy, he felt ashamed and hurriedly walked out. He then cupped his fists and bowed.

Looking at the people from the branch sect, Purple Mystic Fairy nodded. She fell into deep thought when she didn’t see Xu Qing in the crowd.

Lord Fifth was the same.

Only the captain put on a nervous expression and gestured at Wu Jianwu.

Wu Jianwu hurriedly took out a recording jade slip.

Other than them, Chen Tinghao also came to pick Xu Qing up. This time, he didn’t come alone but called over ten Sword Holders who were on good terms with him.

“Where’s Xu Qing?”

While everyone was surprised, Xu Qing’s figure slowly walked out of the Law Palace under the push of the two Law Palace cultivators.

“Having 100,000 feet long light and you’re actually suspected of overstepping your bounds. You’re lucky this time.”

“When you return, I hope you’ll think about it carefully. Your matter has not concluded yet.”

The two Law Palace cultivators spoke coldly. After bringing the expressionless Xu Qing out, they were about to untie his torture tools.

However, at that moment, Xu Qing’s body trembled and his gaze dimmed as he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

When this mouthful of blood landed on the ground, it was a shocking sight. At the same time, Xu Qing’s entire body erupted with blood mist. One could see wounds appearing on his body.

Any one of these wounds was a shocking sight. They were so deep that even his bones could be seen. Moreover, they seemed to have been covered by a spell, so they wouldn’t have been exposed. However, they were extremely clear at this moment.

Countless wounds appeared on Xu Qing’s face, neck, and exposed skin. One could imagine that there were definitely more under his clothes.

This was because blood had already spread and soaked his entire robe.

All of this gave people the feeling that during the three days Xu Qing was imprisoned, he had suffered inhuman torture. The people who tortured him almost skinned him alive.

Even his internal organs burst at this moment. The bones in his body also fractured on a large scale and he fell limply.

He was on the verge of death!
