Outside of Time - Chapter 1183

[Chapter 1161 Who is the chess piece? Who is setting the game?]

But it could not cover up the fairy music and the chirping sounds coming from Baihua Palace.

Floating over.

The sound fell into the ears of Zhong Chi who was outside Shaoji Palace, and also spread into the palace and was heard by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing raised his head and his eyes fell on the figure outside the hall.

“Zhong Chi is a little strange today…”

There was a hint of thought in Xu Qing’s eyes.

In the past, this study companion usually left when night fell. Unless I notified him otherwise, it was rare for him to follow me so late.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing raised his hand, took out the chessboard, and spoke lightly.

“Zhongchi.”

The companion outside the door turned around immediately upon hearing this and took a few quick steps towards the palace door.

“Young Master, I am here.”

“Come and play chess with me.”

Xu Qing’s eyes fell on the chessboard and he spoke casually.

“Okay.”

Zhong Chi nodded quickly and ran to Xu Qing. Xu Qing took out a piece and placed it on the chessboard.

The chess pieces fall and the wind rises.

…

The cold wind in the night howled in the Xinglei Palace.

In the wind, the middle-aged criminal officer quickened his pace.

“My identity is likely to have been discovered by someone, so all the signs in the Xinglei Palace today made me feel urgent. I also only learned about the movements of the three True Lords today.”

As he walked forward, the executioner had thoughts creeping into his mind beneath his seemingly normal expression.

“Somehow, I feel like if I don’t act tonight, I’ll never have another chance.”

“This is strange…”

The middle-aged criminal officer narrowed his eyes, a hint of faint light flashing in his eyes.

“Someone used me as bait and forced me to take action today.”

“Because the information I have is indeed time-sensitive. If it is too late, its effect will not be enough to support the act of rebellion, and the waves it causes will not meet my requirements.”

“So no matter how you look at it, tonight is our last chance.”

“Plus the recent rumors…”

The middle-aged criminal officer seemed to be thinking about something.

“Is the fisherman the person who spread the rumor, or the person in the rumor?”

“If the latter is really the Fourth True Lord, then his purpose is naturally to lure out the former.”

“But it is also possible that the Fourth True Lord was the one who spread the rumor, in order to confuse others and make them think that there is a flag bearer who is in opposition to him.”

“As a result, bigger mistakes occurred under this wrong perception.”

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in the middle-aged criminal officer’s eyes.

“But no matter what, since you have included me, the evil spirit, in your plan, then…”

The next moment, his mind suddenly moved, his thoughts were interrupted, and his steps paused.

His expression suddenly became solemn, and he bowed his head forward.

“Master.”

In front of him, a man walked out in the night.

This person was an old man, wearing the Taoist robe of the Xinglei Palace. He was dignified. When he walked out, his eyes fell on the middle-aged criminal officer and his brows slowly frowned.

“It’s so late, and you’re in such a hurry, what are you doing?”

The middle-aged criminal official’s heart tightened, because the person in front of him was his host’s master, and also the deacon of the Criminal Thunder Palace, holding great power. Although he was usually cold to him, his majesty was very strong in his memory.

Especially there were a few times before when the other party seemed to have some doubts about his identity.

We must be careful at this moment.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged criminal officer spoke in a low voice.

“Master, my disciple Lei Guang has too much yang energy recently. I plan to go to the Thunder Pond and collect some night thunder light to neutralize my own thunder magic.”

When the old man heard this, his eyes swept across the disciple in front of him like lightning.

Under his gaze, it seemed as if he could penetrate everything. After seeing that this disciple indeed had too much Yang Thunder in his body, he nodded slightly and spoke meaningfully.

“There have been some rumors in the Immortal Palace recently, but since the Immortal Lord, several Palace Lords, and the elders have not issued any instructions, I have not investigated too much.”

“And if you have any information later, you can let me know.”

As he spoke, the old man’s figure merged into the darkness and disappeared.

The middle-aged criminal officer bowed his head and nodded, then waited for a moment before walking away, gradually going farther away.

After his figure completely disappeared, the figure of the old deacon of the Xinglei Palace reappeared in the dark night.

Staring into the distance, with a deep gaze.

…

The gazes behind him made the middle-aged criminal officer feel very stressed.

But fortunately, it didn’t last too long and the gaze faded away.

This made him feel relieved and he walked faster and faster.

The destination is a long-distance teleportation array next to the thunder pool.

He has mastered all the conditions required to activate the formation.

So tonight he only needs to walk into the teleportation array, successfully open it and leave, and then he can pass on the message.

This incident was used as the basis for rebellion against the palace.

This is his way. He wants to rebel here, even if it goes against history. But as long as he succeeds, it doesn’t matter even if this history is a mirror image.

The broken sword of Xianbao in the body will be nourished to a great extent, thus opening up to greater power.

“But the prerequisite is that I want to leave alive!”

As he was thinking, he was getting closer and closer to the forbidden zone.

And as the distance gets closer, a wave of space-time that can only be perceived by those with the space-time constitution is continuously growing stronger and more intense.

Like a torch in the dark night.

Reflected in Xu Qing’s perception.

Xu Qing looked calm as he placed the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard.

He didn’t know what the Fourth True Lord was going to do tonight, but Li Mengtu’s abnormality made him think.

In addition, he has been waiting for the Fourth True Lord’s response to the rumors these days.

And at this moment, this kind of space-time turbulence appeared…

Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

“Zhong Chi, what happened to you? You look uneasy while playing chess with me.”

Zhong Chi hesitated when he heard this, then he noticed that the young master in front of him was looking at him, and he smiled bitterly.

“Sure enough, I can’t hide it from the young master. Sigh… I confessed to Xiaohui of the Palm Spirit Palace yesterday. Although she didn’t refuse, she said she wanted to think about it, so… I’ve been thinking about it all the time.”

Xu Qing smiled and waved his hand.

“Okay, since you have something on your mind, there’s no need to continue playing chess. Go and ask the Fourth True Lord for help. It’s more interesting to play chess with Fourth Senior Brother.”

When Zhong Chi heard this, he hesitated again, but he didn’t think much about it, because in his memory, the young master in front of him and the Fourth True Lord had a very good relationship and they often played chess together in the past.

It’s just that now the Aurora Immortal Lord is about to take over, and there is only one True Lord left in the entire Immortal Palace, so things have become more complicated and not as usual.

“This may be an opportunity… If we can let this person participate in destroying the Fourth True Lord, then it will be interesting.”

A thought flashed through Zhong Chi’s mind and hesitation appeared on his face.

“What happened again?”

Xu Qing frowned.

“Young Master, the True Lord may not have time today…” Zhong Chi spoke quickly.

Xu Qing looked at Zhong Chi.

Zhong Chi’s thoughts were racing in his mind as he continued to speak.

“Young Master, I heard that the True Lord is going to do something big tonight.”

Xu Qing was stunned.

“Who told you that? What big thing?”

“There are rumors among the disciples recently, and then there is news from the Zhenjun Mansion that the Zhenjun is going to arrest someone tonight.”

Zhong Chi organized his words carefully.

Hearing this, Xu Qing’s smile slowly faded, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

“Rumors are all groundless, how can we believe them? And the people who spread the rumors are often the biggest beneficiaries!”

“Especially when it comes to my fourth senior brother.”

“Since Fourth Senior Brother works for the Immortal Palace, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied and slander him! I thought everyone would just laugh it off, but I didn’t expect that they are still talking about it!”

“You will give me a verbal instruction tomorrow. Such rumors are not allowed to appear in the Fairy Palace again. Especially you, you should also watch your mouth!”

Xu Qing scolded.

Zhong Ling sighed inwardly, but with his usual cognition and thinking, he naturally saw that the person in front of him really had such thoughts.

So he understood in his heart that it would be too difficult to use the young master to destroy the Fourth True Lord.

So I quickly nodded and said yes.

Xu Qing’s expression then eased a little. He glanced at Zhong Chi and spoke softly.

“But you are quite well-informed. Why do you like to find out information so much?”

Zhong Chi was startled and spoke quickly.

“To work for the Young Master, you must be smart!”

Xu Qing smiled when he heard that.

“Alright, you’ve followed me for many years, I know your temper, and you’ve been really busy lately. I see that you’ve become paler recently, go down and have a good rest. As for Xiaohui, I’ll have someone go and help you tomorrow.”

Zhong Chi pretended to be moved, bowed deeply, and then left with regret in his heart.

Looking at Zhong Chi’s back, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked away in the direction of Lei Chi.

There, is the area where time and space become increasingly turbulent in perception.

In Xu Qing’s eyes, this wave at this moment looked like a raging sea of fire.

“It seems that this is the response given to me by the Fourth True Lord.”

“Someone is changing history there.”

“So, should I go or not…”

“If I don’t go, and if the Fourth True Lord succeeds in stopping it and makes the law of order complete, then it will be like having one less stone in my hand.”

Xu Qing pondered and glanced at the endgame on the chessboard.

Pick up the chess piece and let it fall by itself.

The night wind outside was howling even louder at this moment.

In this mysterious chess game, someone is also making moves.

Then the figure of the middle-aged criminal officer rushed in the wind.

The speed was getting faster and faster, until it flashed past the thunder pool and flew towards the teleportation array.

In an instant, it was approaching.

But the moment he walked into the range of the formation, there was a shock in all directions, as if an invisible seal covered the place.

A chill suddenly surged from outside his body and spread throughout his body in the blink of an eye, turning into a fierce murderous intent that blocked his mind.

Along with it came a calm voice.

“Xie Lingzi, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

In the void, iron chains representing order appeared out of thin air and surrounded the eight directions. In the middle of these iron chains, the figure of the Fourth True Lord was walking towards them step by step.

As it got closer, the terrifying pressure was earth-shaking.

Countless iron chains vibrated, making a rattling sound.

And these voices, like the words of order in this world, make the turbulent time and space stable and make all disordered things return to their original track.

“Star Ring!”

The middle-aged criminal officer spoke in a low voice.

“Even if your constitution is the same as that of the Fourth True Lord, so what!”

Almost at the moment when the middle-aged criminal officer’s words were uttered, a sharp sword energy suddenly burst out from his body, and behind him, a broken iron sword appeared.

The moment he appeared, an absolute murderous intent was surging.

At the same time, when the two of them made their move, inside the Xinglei Palace, the middle-aged criminal officer’s master… the old deacon, had a faint gleam in his eyes and looked in the distance in the direction of the teleportation array.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he murmured.
