Outside Of Time

Chapter 970 The Old Man in the Sun (2)

In the end, as everyone trembled, this enormously huge sun actually transformed into a fist-sized fireball, held in the hand of a figure that suddenly appeared from the void.

The person who appeared was dressed in a tattered brown robe, extraordinarily handsome, with long flowing hair that created wisps of specters trailing behind him. His blue eyes, like precious gems, exuded an indescribable sense of nobility.

His appearance caused the sky to freeze, the earth to solidify, the wind to cease its dance, and the flames to become specimens.

Even the water of the Sacrificial Yin River seemed to have become a painting and was motionless.

Everything in the world stopped as this person walked over.

Only the minds of living were still working, so the endless and overwhelming fear erupted within the minds of the people.

Ning Yan was terrified and Wu Jianwuʼs heart trembled. They had recognized the identity of the person who came…

And Li Youfei was on the verge of breaking down. Following Xu Qing, he felt that everything that was happening was overturning his imagination. In just a few months, he had witnessed and experienced things that exceeded the first half of his life.

Although he didnʼt know who this person was, he was already horrified when he saw that the incomparably violent sun was like a toy in the hands of the person.

The captainʼs pupils also contracted. A monstrous wave rose in his heart and he was at a loss.

”Why is there an additional person in my sun… What did I dredge out? Also, this person… looks a little familiar.”

The captainʼs body trembled.

Xu Qing trembled as well.

Xu Qing looked at the figure walking toward him with the sun in his hand. He was also at a loss. He never expected that his captain would f*cking dredge out the rulerʼs heir as a small matter!

Looking at the other party, Xu Qing couldnʼt help but recall the scene of them finding the iron ball at the bottom of the river.

At that time, the heir was probably in the iron ball.

Xu Qing then thought of those rumors and guessed that after the heir and Princess Mingmei fought against the Red Moonʼs divine son, the other party had hidden in this ancient sun to recuperate.

This was indeed a very good place to hide…

The ancient sun originally came from the rulerʼs era, so the heir naturally understood it better. As for the Sacrificial Yin River, it looked dangerous but with the Crimson Goddess in deep slumber, it became the safest place.

Generally speaking, very few people could find it, other than… the captain who had come to salvage the sun.

”How did you guys find me and why did you set the place where I was on fire?”

The heirʼs expression was calm as he walked toward Xu Qing and the captain step by step. He lowered his head and looked down, retracting the restraints on everyone.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu knelt down with a plop. Li Youfei was the same. The three of them trembled intensely.

There was also the parrot. Its face was filled with fear as it hid in its fatherʼs sleeve.

The gaze and aura from the heir formed an indescribable huge pressure that enveloped this area.

The captain smiled awkwardly as he trembled. His expression was even more fawning.

”Senior, itʼs a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding… We were wrong, weʼll leave now. You donʼt have to bother with us. Why donʼt you go back and continue resting?”

As the captain spoke, he wanted to retreat.

The heir calmly glanced at him.

The captain fell to the ground with a plop and blood spurted out of his mouth. His entire body was spewing blood like a fountain.

The heir retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain who was vomiting blood and his expression became even more respectful. He cupped his fists and bowed to the rulerʼs heir in front of him. He used the same courtesy he had used back then and spoke in a low voice.

”We didnʼt know that Senior was here. We came here to complete my masterʼs plan to dredge out the three suns.”

When the heir heard this, he looked at Xu Qing with a spurious smile and didnʼt continue asking. Instead, he looked at the distant horizon.

”Someoneʼs coming soon. We need to leave.”

”Little friend, where are you guys going after dredging out the suns?”

Xu Qing hesitated but didnʼt dare to hide it. Hence, he told the truth.

”Bitter Life Mountain Range?” The heir fell into deep thought and smiled. With a sway of his body, his appearance changed and he actually transformed into a kind-looking old man.

He retracted all his pressure such that there were no extraordinary energy fluctuations from him. He was like a mortal shopkeeper. At this moment, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

”I also plan to stay there for a period of time. Letʼs go, Iʼll tell you about the foundation of the Red Moon Shrine on the way. This has something to do with you.”

As the words were spoken, the bindings on Ning Yan and the other two disappeared, leaving them utterly shocked and unsure of what to do. They all turned to look at Xu Qing. The captain, after ending his bout of bleeding, stood up, clearly shaken, and also looked at Xu Qing.

In their perception, Xu Qing was the person most familiar with this crown prince.

Xu Qingʼs heart was in a mess. He looked at the heir who had transformed into an old man and gritted his teeth fiercely as he followed.

The group quickly followed behind, with Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu both having weak legs, trembling as they walked. They occasionally exchanged glances, seeing the disbelief and shock in each otherʼs eyes.

”A living Soul Accumulation…”

The captain quickly adjusted his attitude, speeding up to keep pace. He took out a fan, fanning the heir while nodding and bowing, trying to be ingratiating.

”Elder, are you hot? Let me fan you.”

”Elder, are you tired? Big Jianjian, hurry up and take out the bear for the elder to ride!”

Everyone trembled as they continued forward. Only Xu Qing looked normal. However, he was at a loss.

ʼIs he coming to the apothecary with me?ʼ

Time flowed by. Two hours after everyone left, the area they were in earlier suddenly distorted. As the void churned, a huge figure suddenly descended.

This figure was hazy, and his features were not clear. All that could be seen was a wide scarlet robe spreading open around him, covering the sky and blanketing the earth.

Everything turned red at this moment.

Furthermore, his divine aura far exceeded that of Nihility. It seemed to manifest countless rules and laws around him, with even the phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars circling in his presence.

The moment this person appeared, the surroundings turned blurry and the Red Moonʼs authority skyrocketed. As he waved his hand, time here began to reverse, as if backtracking.

Countless fragments emerged from nothingness, continuously piecing together to recreate everything that had happened here. However, just as these fragments began to assemble, before the images could fully form, they trembled intensely.

At the next instant, all the fragments collapsed and dissipated.

The figure who arrived fell silent. He then looked at the Sacrificial Yin River. With just one glance, the river started churning.

”River spirits, show yourselves.” A deep voice echoed from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, numerous river spirits appeared on the riverʼs surface, bowing in reverence to the figure.

”Greetings, High Priest.”

”What happened here?” The huge figure calmly asked, his voice echoing like thunder.

The river spirits were at a loss and all shook their heads. They really didnʼt know.

”Cognition has been modified…” The huge figureʼs gaze swept over and he looked into the distance. After a long time, his figure blurred and disappeared from here.

Only his voice continued to linger for a long time.

”Rulerʼs heir, you were actually hiding here… Then why did you choose to go out now?”
