OUTSIDE OF TIME

508 Six Words of the Sword Holding Palace (2)

“So it’s you two. I’ve already found out that the two of you did this illegally.”

Before the two disciples could speak, Yao Yunhui waved her hand.

At the next instant, the two of them let out mournful cries. Their bodies rumbled and they spat out a large mouthful of blood as they were directly swept into the distance.

“Arrest them.”

Immediately, disciples from the Third Department flew out and carried away the two people whose life and death were unknown.

Yao Yunhui dealt with the scene extremely quickly and directly. Of course, this was also because she received information that the prison recordings were destroyed by someone and couldn’t be used as evidence.

After dealing with her two subordinates, she bowed to Xu Qing and Zi Xuan with a guilty expression.

“I neglected to manage this matter and caused Xu Qing to suffer. I think Xu Qing’s injuries are very serious. You should go back and rest first. This matter has been investigated. I’ll personally give you an explanation later.”

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. The other party’s various actions instantly resolved most of this situation. If he continued to pester about his injuries, the situation would change, giving off an overbearing feeling.

Xu Qing pondered. Although there wouldn’t be a problem with his resume now, he felt that it wasn’t enough if it ended like this. Hence, he opened his mouth slightly, as though he wanted to say something.

However, his injuries were too serious and he was extremely weak. His divine sense and voice couldn’t be transmitted. When the captain saw this, he moved his ear closer to listen. Very soon, the anger on his face turned into disbelief and he cried out involuntarily.

“What, Junior Brother, those two b*stards whose fate is unknown took 30 million spirit stones from you?”

Yao Yunhui’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and her mood couldn’t help but fluctuate. She once again realized how troublesome Xu Qing was. Even though she had neutralized the other party’s counterattack, the other party instantly changed his method and continued to create difficulties for her.

30 million spirit stones wasn’t a small sum to her either. This feeling of extortion made her feel as though she had eaten dog shit and had no choice but to swallow it.

However, she couldn’t get angry. She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. After casting a deep glance at the captain and Xu Qing, she squeezed out a smile and slowly nodded.

“I’ll investigate this matter. If…”

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Qing spat out another mouthful of blood. The aura of his body became even weaker. The captain had a look of grief and indignation on his face and immediately fed Xu Qing medicinal pills. He even laughed bitterly as he fed him.

“Is this still the Law Palace? They can beat us up at will and rob us openly. Junior Brother, did we really come to the human race’s capital?!”

“The heavens won’t tolerate this. This matter…”

Seeing that the situation was about to change again, the veins on Yao Yunhui’s forehead twitched and anger rose in her heart. However, she knew that she couldn’t continue delaying, so she gritted her teeth and spoke.

“It will take time to investigate this matter, but the Third Department can pay 30 million spirit stones first!”

Her heart was bleeding when she said this.

When the captain heard this, his head started to heat and his heartbeat sped up a little. After licking his lips, he hurriedly moved closer to Xu Qing again. This time, Xu Qing didn’t speak…

However, the captain clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the tiles ruthlessly. As the tiles shattered and exploded, his eyes were bloodshot and his voice became hoarse as he spoke loudly.

“What, they won’t let go of the 17 sets of killing array formations and 57 magic artifacts I lent you?”

The captain’s heart seemed to be torn apart and his eyes were completely red.

Xu Qing looked at the captain and felt the heat in the other’s heart. He nodded.

Yao Yunhui’s breathing was unprecedentedly hurried and her emotions were fluctuating intensely. She stared fixedly at the captain. Her disgust for this person had already surpassed her hatred for Xu Qing.

Just as she was about to speak, a terrifying divine sense spread out from the depths of the Law Palace, enveloping this place as though it was examining it.

After sensing this divine sense, Yao Yunhui’s mind shook. She knew that what she had done had already caused the higher-ups to be unhappy. Hence, she could only grit her teeth again and put on a calm expression.

However, she had underestimated the captain. Just as her calmness surfaced, the captain wailed.

“The three magic treasure fragments Master gave were also taken away?”

“The fellow Daoists of the Sword Holder spent over ten million spirit stones to buy the specialties of my Seven Blood Eyes, but they actually took that money as well? That’s the hard-earned money of the Sword Holders.”

“Ah, and the three Heavenly Palace Pills Purple Mystic Fairy gave you. They actually dared to take them away?”

Zi Xuan’s expression darkened as she coldly looked at Yao Yunhui.

At the side, the Sword Holders, including Chen Tinghao, looked at the captain with a strange gaze and nodded one after another.

This scene made Yao Yunhui unable to suppress the monstrous anger and hatred in her heart. This blatant blackmail that had turned into a collective blackmailing made her feel extremely aggrieved.

Seeing this, Xu Qing’s fingers moved, indicating that it was about time and they should stop now.

He felt that if the captain continued, this would backfire.

The captain was a little unwilling. Just as he was about to continue, Xu Qing spat out another mouthful of blood.

Only then did the captain shut up. With an expression of grief and indignation, he carried Xu Qing and walked toward Purple Mystic Fairy. Finally, under Yao Yunhui’s gaze, everyone from the Eight Sects Alliance quickly left.

As they left, this place fell silent. The terrifying divine sense that came from the depths of the Law Palace transformed into a calm voice.

“Director Yao, this is the Law Palace, the Palace of Justice of the human race. The right given to you is to uphold justice for the human race, not a place for you to resolve your private grudges. You have overstepped your bounds in this matter.”

Yao Yunhui’s mind shook and she lowered her head.

“The Sword Holding Palace sent an official document just now. There’s only one sentence with seven words in it.”

“Yao Yunhui, are you courting death?”

Yao Yunhui took a deep breath and fell silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice.

“Palace Master, I know my mistake.”

“Conduct yourself well.” The terrifying divine sense dissipated after speaking these three words.

Yao Yunhui stood silently on the spot. After a long time, she expressionlessly walked into her office.

As soon as she entered, she saw Zhang Siyun waiting there with a concerned expression.

“Mother…”

“Yun’er, those two colleagues of yours aren’t simple.” Yao Yunhui walked up to her son and spoke expressionlessly.

Zhang Siyun’s mind shook. Just as he was thinking of what to say, Yao Yunhui ruthlessly slapped him.

This slap was very strong. Zhang Siyun crashed into the wall and bled. When he landed, half of his face was already bulging, his internal organs were churning and he spat out blood again.

“Trash!”

“Your father is trash. The Grand Affairs Immortal Sect is trash. You’re also trash!”

Yao Yunhui gritted her teeth and vented the anger in her heart in this slap.

Faced with his mother’s scolding, Zhang Siyun didn’t dare to refute. He didn’t even dare to wipe the blood flowing out of his mouth. He could only lower his head. He had experienced this scene countless times since he was young.

After scolding Zhang Siyun, Yao Yunhui sat on her chair and took a deep breath. After calming her emotions again, she picked up the bowl of white fungus soup at the side and took a sip before lifting her head.

That pair of gem-like eyes on her flawless face looked in the direction of the Eight Sects Alliance’s branch sect. The corners of her small mouth curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful arc.

“Warning me? This is more interesting.”
