Outside Of Time
chapter-623

For some reason, Xu Qing felt a sharp pain in his heart as he heard this, but before he could say anything, the old man from Panquan Road suddenly turned his head and started laughing miserably. He fixed his gaze on Xu Qing, and his eyes were filled with blood, with the blood vessels covering the entire range of his eyes, emitting a blood-red light.

"Ling'er is my daughter, the white snake. What you saw on Merfolk Island was her first transformation!"

"The golden thread on your body is her life thread. It can augment your luck and block calamities for you. If you die, she dies, but if she dies… you'll still be fine!!"

The old man from Panquan Road gritted his teeth.

Xu Qing's mind shook.

"Ling'er has been injured three times because of you! Three times!"

"If you don't believe me, think back properly. The first time was more than two years ago!"

"The interval between the second time and the first time isn't long!"

Xu Qing's mind was in turmoil and his breathing became increasingly rapid as he recalled all the times the golden thread had helped him. The first time the golden thread appeared was more than two years ago when he was in the land of the Sea Corpse Race. He had borrowed the Seven Blood Eyes' Taboo magic treasure to traverse the cycle of life and death.

He opened the 121st magic aperture during that moment of life and death.

At that time, at his most dangerous moment, the golden thread appeared and resolved his crisis.

Not long later, when he and the captain left the Three Spirits Suppression Mountain, he had tried to place the Poison Restriction Pill in the Third Heavenly Palace on the way. In the end, in the extremely dangerous situation, the golden light appeared again, producing a series of coincidences that resolved the crisis for him again.

"There's also the third time!" The old man's eyes were filled with sorrow as he roared at Xu Qing.

"The third time was not long ago. I don't know what you encountered but it must have been a life-and-death crisis. How do you think you survived? Huh?"

"It's Ling'er. Ling'er took on the danger in your place when she was accepting the inheritance!!"

"And last night… her inheritance failed."

The old man cried, his voice whimpering.

Xu Qing's body shuddered violently and a monstrous rumbling sound rang out in his mind. It was as though millions of lightning bolts had exploded in his mind.

He, who had suffered in his childhood and struggled through the cruel world, wasn't at ease if he didn't kill all his enemies. He would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

Likewise, he valued debts of gratitude even more highly. He deeply remembered the gratitude that Captain Lei, Grandmaster Bai, Old Master Seventh, and Lord Sixth had shown him.

But now, he had unknowingly owed someone so much.

"She… took on the danger for me…" The blood in Xu Qing's entire body flowed unprecedentedly rapidly. He abruptly turned his head and grabbed the crying old man, his eyes revealing a sharp glint.

"How is she now?"

Xu Qing grabbed very hard, and the sound of cracking bones echoed through the air. But the old man had already forgotten the pain. In his mind, the more force Xu Qing used, the greater the chance of saving Ling'er.

This meant that the other party cared.

"Inheritance failed, soul fell into the abyss…"

Xu Qing fell silent. The canopies appeared above his head fiercely. The Nether Spirit Blood Wing materialized behind him and the mosasaur appeared under his feet, letting out a deafening roar. The shadow rose and enveloped him. His physical strength that surpassed the ten palaces towered into the sky.

"Point the direction!" Xu Qing's voice was hoarse and his eyes revealed determination. The moment he spoke, he grabbed the old man from Panquan Road and rushed forward rapidly.

His speed was so fast that it was comparable to teleportation, stirring up a deafening sound of air being torn apart. This was Xu Qing's fastest speed!

Wherever he passed, the sky rumbled and endless ripples echoed in the void.

The Wood Spirit Race was isolated from the world, so they didn't build teleportation arrays. However, their location wasn't far from the county capital, so the old man had reached the capital in half a night's time.

However, Xu Qing arrived before the Wood Spirit Race's basin in less than an hour!
