Outside of Time

Xu Qing was not very clear about how delicious the ferocious beasts in the mountains and seas were, but as he and the captain left, when they came to the cave that the captain said was free, Xu Qing felt clearly the superiority of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan. .

During the Great Hunting Period, the three holy cities were opened, but the prices in them were too high. After all, this was the core of the entire Yanyue Xuantian Clan.

And this kind of price is not something ordinary monks can afford.

Therefore, the Holy City provides a place of residence and rest for monks of all races who participate in hunting.

It's just that in such an area, the status requirements for residents are very particular, and they are divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

Only Yanyue Xuantian's own monks and several super superior clansmen are qualified to live in the superior cave. Not only is the aura separately divided, but it is also blessed by the sacred mountain and is divided into courtyards.

Whether it is the beauty of the environment or the suitability for practice, they are both top-notch.

As for the medium-sized cave, it is where the affiliated ethnic groups of Yanyue Xuantian live, which is relatively simple.

The lower-level caves are the simplest and are only open to lower-class participants outside the Yanyue clan.

Even if Xu Qing has planted the flag of mountains and rivers on the sacred mountain and has become the number one, he is not qualified to live in the upper and middle caves. The only options he can choose are the lower ones.

In the eyes of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan, those who are not as good as themselves and do not choose to be affiliated are all subordinates.

Even Qiu Quezi was helpless about this, but he still wanted to use his quota to help Xu Qing get a higher-grade cave, so he tried to communicate with the monks in charge of the cave.

The strength and weakness of the ethnic group is often reflected in the individual, and it is actually very obvious.

Unless you have the personal strength to break everything, you can put your identity above your ethnic group.

It's just that Xu Qing obviously can't do it now.

And the monk of Yanyue Xuantian's clan who was responsible for arranging the cave abode naturally didn't like Xu Qing and the two who appeared in front of him.

Regarding Qiu Quezi's behavior, his eyebrows also furrowed and he spoke calmly.

"no!"

"You can stay if you want to, and leave if you don't. This is the rule throughout the Holy City."

With that said, the Yanyue Xuantian monk threw out a cave token, then closed his eyes and ignored Xu Qing and the others.

Qiu Quezi sighed secretly, looked at Xu Qing, and spoke in a low voice.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's already getting late, and after sunset in the Holy City, there will be a curfew...it's almost time."

Xu Qing didn't care about the level of residence, but when he heard the word curfew, his spiritual mind scanned the outside world. The sun was setting on the horizon, but there were still an endless stream of pedestrians from all directions, and it didn't look like a curfew was coming.

"The curfew is only for foreigners." The captain raised his eyebrows and picked up the cave token.

"It's free, so of course you have to live there. If you don't live there, it won't be in vain."

Xu Qing said nothing, withdrew his spiritual thoughts, nodded to Qiu Quezi, and left with the captain according to the instructions of the order.

Qiu Quezi cupped his fists and bowed, feeling deep in his heart.

He followed Xu Qing all the way and was very aware of the opponent's amazing fighting power.

"Only Lingzang Dzogchen has the combat power to fight Gui Xusi... If this kind of genius were born in the Yanyue Xuantian Clan, they would definitely be sought after and can be called the pride of heaven."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Qiu Quezi sighed, watched Xu Qing and the others disappear, and left by himself.

Time passed little by little, the sunset on the horizon completely set, and the moment the bright moon rose, Xu Qing and the captain had found the cave they belonged to.

To be precise, it can't be regarded as a cave, just a private house. Both inside and outside, it is very simple and the location is remote.

However, Xu Qing has never cared much about where he lives. Even if this house is simple, it is much better than the place where he lived when he was a child.

So in this house, Xu Qing calmly crossed his legs and meditated with his eyes closed.

The captain also looked indifferent. He was holding a jade slip aside and kept transmitting messages. He didn't know who he was communicating with.

Just like that, the night passed.

Early the next morning, the captain greeted Xu Qing and winked.

"Little Ah Qing, let me ask you clearly. There is still one month before the second phase starts. It will be a long time. You should have a good rest. I plan to get some information during this time."

"By the way, I have some personal matters to deal with."

The captain licked his lips, with some anticipation and excitement in his eyes, which looked very much like the people Xu Qing saw going to the feather tent in the scavenger camp when he was a child.

"Be careful."

Xu Qing warned.

"Don't worry, the Wordless Heavenly Book is here, and my breath will not be noticed."

The captain patted his chest habitually, then rubbed his hands and left the house.

Xu Qing shook his head and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Several days passed.

In the past few days, Xu Qing has not gone out, and the captain has not returned.

Up to this moment, Xu Qing had recovered from the mental fatigue from all the killing after several days of repair.

"You might as well go for a walk and see if you can buy some information about the mountains and seas."

Xu Qing opened his eyes, pondered for a while, and walked out of the house.

In the past few days, flags have appeared on the sacred mountain many times, but no one has been able to surpass Xu Qing's height. This repeated display of the sacred mountain flag has made monk Yanyue Xuantian feel more and more uncomfortable.

The feeling of looking up and seeing a mountain and river flag high above made them feel disgusted with Xu Qing.

This kind of disgust was clearly reflected in the eyes of passers-by as Xu Qing's figure appeared in the city.

Xu Qing didn't care.

Even though the comments in his ears were mixed with malice as he walked, he chose to ignore them.

The first stage was over. Without Forbidden Mountain's action, Xu Qing felt it was meaningless. Moreover... there was too much disgust in his eyes, and even if he killed them, he wouldn't be able to finish them off.

Several challengers appeared on the way, but none of them made Xu Qing feel worthy of taking action.

"Human Xu Qing!"

As he was walking forward, a jade slip came roaring from the crowd and floated in front of Xu Qing.

Behind the jade slip, a young man from the Yanyue tribe walked out of the crowd, staring at Xu Qing coldly.

"How dare you go out of the Holy City and fight to the death with me!"

Xu Qing glanced at the young man, then ignored him and continued moving forward.

There is nothing of value in the other party.

And the young man obviously didn't really want to challenge, he was just taking advantage of the situation, so when he saw Xu Qing leaving, he sneered a few times and took advantage of the situation to gain some fame.

Similar challenges appeared one after another as Xu Qing moved forward.

Xu Qing was a little annoyed, especially when he saw that some shops in the Holy City were divided into three, six or nine grades. There were even some who refused directly after seeing Xu Qing.

The disgust, malice and provocation in his expression made Xu Qing's eyes turn cold.

He knew that as long as he took out Nihu's token, everything would be solved. He could enter the store and make purchases smoothly.

But he raised his head and looked at Yanyan Mountain. In the end, he did not take out the token of Nihu, but sent a message to Qiu Quezi.

Then he turned around and returned to his residence.

After resting for a while in his residence, Qiu Quezi brought all the information he could collect about the mountains and seas to Xu Qing's hands.

After not seeing each other for several days, Qiu Quezi's expression was a little complicated. After delivering it, he bowed and left.

Xu Qing took a look, and based on his experience, he put it into Qiu Quezi's body, and more or less understood the source of the other party's complexity.

As a member of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan, but following two humans who were disliked by their own clan, I think there have been a lot of sarcastic remarks about him in the past few days.

Xu Qing was silent, recalling the scenes after arriving in the Holy City, and a trace of anger gradually rose in his heart. After a long time, he picked up the jade slip sent by Qiu Quezi and carefully looked at the second part of the big hunt.

The second link will be launched in the mountains and seas.

This domain is quite special. There is no group of monks in it, but there are countless strange beasts, some alone, some in groups, eventually forming a beast domain.

For countless years, whether it is the beasts in this domain itself or the beasts obtained by the Yanyue Xuantian Clan from the outside world, they have been continuously born and released. Under the accumulation and reproduction, there have been too many incredible changes, and there have been All kinds of strange things and ferocious beasts that are not found in the outside world.

In this way, the ghost car Captain Qinghe saw was one of them.

As for the earliest source of this vast land of mountains and seas, the jade slips sent by Qiu Quezi were not clear about it, and it was only mentioned in a few words.

Related to the ancient legend of Yanyue Xuantian.

Specific, no expression.

Xu Qing was not too curious about this. He focused on the famous ferocious beasts recorded in the jade slips and their habitats.

After careful inspection, Xu Qing finally looked at the number one beast.

Its name is Jiuli!

The status of this beast in Yanyue Xuantian Clan is very special, because in the history of Yanyue, Jiuli was subdued only once.

That was the first clan leader of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan back then, and he was also the unifying power leader who led the rise of this clan.

His mount is Jiuli.

Since then, no one has successfully conquered it.

It is also because of this that Jiuli is in a very high position in the heart of monk Yanyue Xuantian.

There is even a saying in Yanyue that if someone subdues Jiuli, then all Yanyue's clan will salute him and all his subordinates will kneel down and worship him.

There are many rumors about Jiuli, but there are very few specific descriptions, and whether it exists alone or in a group of beasts is not mentioned.

In addition, the jade slip also mentioned that although the older generation of strong men in the Yanyue clan should have the ability to conquer Jiuli, in the Yanyue Xuantian clan, the gods have strict rules for the mountains and seas.

It is usually closed there and entry is strictly prohibited.

Only during a great hunt will it be opened by the gods, and only at this time can each generation of hunting participants obtain exotic beasts as mounts.

This restriction prevented Jiuli from appearing again for countless years.

The place where Jiuli is located is called the Forbidden City of Jiuli. The jade slip clearly points out that it is extremely dangerous there and anyone who enters will die.

"Jiuli?"

Xu Qing pondered. He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but after reading these introductions about Jiuli, he had a vague feeling that there seemed to be contradictions in a lot of information.

"Is there something hidden..."

Xu Qing was thoughtful.

"Jiuli, what kind of ferocious beast is it? Nine lantern-like beings?"
