Outside of Time-Chapter 1333 Insisting on Traveling With the Crazies

?"As for your Eldest Senior Brother, we'll hand him to you as soon as our matter is over."

Lan Yao spoke slowly. Her voice was soft but her words were astonishing, causing the expressions of Feng and Xu Qing to change.

Feng refused almost immediately.

"That's impossible!"

"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Feng has another better method or are you confident that you can kill this person without suffering any damage?"

"If you can, I have no objections."

Lan Yao chuckled sweetly.

Xu Qing didn't say a word as his gaze flickered.

Feng hesitated when he heard this. Countless thoughts rose in his mind. However, no matter what, even he had to admit that Lan Yao's suggestion was indeed the most suitable solution to the current situation.

It could be said that she had solved all the problems almost perfectly.

They were wary of Xu Qing's trump cards and were also afraid of Xu Qing leaving. However, it was difficult for them to trap him or kill him without suffering any damage.

Instead, if he joined them, they could resolve the current stalemate.

As for the subsequent matters, they could naturally adapt to the situation.

The only thing that made him worried was that he suspected that Lan Yao might have other motives for doing this. However, there was indeed no other way now. Also, the most important thing was that the eldest senior brother of this human kid was in his hands…

In that case, the initiative was with him.

After some thought, Feng's gloominess suddenly disappeared and he revealed a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lan's words make sense. With this person's combat strength, he indeed has the qualifications to join us. How is it, fellow Daoist of the human race? Are you willing to participate? That's a huge fortune!"

As he spoke, he squeezed the neck of Erniu in his hand slightly. Erniu's body trembled and he frowned, as though he could feel the pain even when he was unconscious.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and muttered a few words to himself. If he didn't have complete confidence in the captain's acting skills and didn't know him so well, he might have genuinely believed that the captain's life was in jeopardy at this moment.

However, he naturally wouldn't reveal his thoughts on his face.

And now, this situation…

Xu Qing sneered inwardly but on the surface, his expression turned unsightly, looking like he wasn't willing to participate but was worried about his senior brother dying.

"How do I know if you two will release my Eldest Senior Brother as promised after the matter is done?"

Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.

"That's simple. Fellow Daoist Feng can just make a heart oath." Lan Yao looked at Feng.

Feng fell silent. Who knew what he was thinking but he actually nodded. He made a heart oath in front of Xu Qing. Once he violated it, the backlash would affect him greatly.

Such an oath carried a certain potency, and would take effect as long as Xu Qing agreed.

However, Xu Qing still hesitated.

"How do I know if you guys have other methods to avoid the backlash of the heart oath?"

Lan Yao frowned.

Feng was the same. However, he wasn't surprised by Xu Qing's words. On the contrary, if the other party really believed him so easily, he would feel that something was amiss.

After all, if he was the other party, he would be the same when faced with this matter.

However, on the surface, he naturally revealed displeasure. He snorted coldly with a sinister expression.

"Don't go too far. We've already taken a step back. If you still insist on acting like this, then don't blame me for killing your Eldest Senior Brother first. As for you, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to be injured, how would I allow you to join us!"

"However, if you continue to push your luck, even if I have to pay a certain price, I will kill you."

Feng's voice was cold and his killing intent seemed to rise again.

Lan Yao didn't speak, but her eyes were equally cold. She had already expressed her attitude.

Xu Qing fell silent. After a while, he slowly spoke.

"It's fine if that's the case. However, I wonder what the two fellow Daoists' plan is?"

Upon hearing Xu Qing agreeing to the heart oath, Feng's expression softened a little and Lan Yao smiled.

"Alright, we are a team now, but I still don't know Fellow Daoist's name?"

"Flame Mystic," Xu Qing calmly said.

"Fellow Daoist Flame Mystic, this isn't a place to talk. Why don't we talk in detail as we move forward?"

Lan Yao's beautiful eyes moved as she smiled.

Xu Qing sighed softly and nodded.

Soon, the three of them transformed into three lights and headed toward the distant horizon.

However, they were each separated by some distance.

On the way, Lan Yao also transmitted a message to Xu Qing, telling him about the thing they were after. As for how much of it was true or false, that was subjective.

Just like that, a few days later, the three of them arrived at a large canyon in the southwestern part of Liaoxuan County.

The canyon here was enormous, resembling a scar on the earth, with darkness pervading inside, seeming unfathomable in depth.

Fog flowed within, with dense anomalous substances all around, causing everything to wither. Occasionally, eerie cries emanated from within the canyon, chilling to the soul.

Feng was still carrying Erniu. He didn't let go at all on the way. At this moment, his gaze landed on the canyon and excitement flashed in his eyes.

"This is the place."

Lan Yao took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the canyon. She also lowered her head to look.

As for Xu Qing, he was more than 100 feet away from the two of them. He looked at the canyon and thought of the scheme these two had mentioned on the way.

"Liaoxuan liquid?"

Xu Qing muttered inwardly. Before this, he had never heard of this item.

According to the two of them, the liaoxuan liquid was the essence of the liaoxuan fruit tree.

Before the fragmented-face arrived, it was already a supreme treasure. Its effect far exceeded that of the liaoxuan fruits and was also a holy item of the Liaoxuan Race.

Back then, the Liaoxuan Race had built a hidden underground palace under the liaoxuan fruit tree. They gathered all the tree roots and formed a Liaoxuan Pool.

This pool would be opened once every hundred years and all the liaoxuan liquid inside would be taken away. However, there weren't many of them, only a few hundred drops.

The usage of this liquid was the same as the liaoxuan fruits, but the effect was over a hundred times greater. It could allow one's comprehension of the laws to reach an unbelievable level.

In the past, people had to pay a huge price to obtain a single drop.

Now, with the destruction of the liaoxuan fruit tree, it was even rarer.

'This Liaoxuan County used to produce a lot of liaoxuan fruits…'

Just as Xu Qing was pondering, Lan Yao's voice rang out.

"If it wasn't for Fellow Daoist Feng showing me the bloodline inheritance ancient record, I really wouldn't believe that such a supreme treasure still exists!"

Feng calmly replied.

"Back then, before the Liaoxuan lineage left Wanggu, they took away all the pool water and destroyed the trees, causing the liaoxuan fruits and liquid to be extinct in Wanggu. They only took some branches to plant it again in the holy land."

"However, the planting failed, this tree cannot survive outside of Wanggu."

"After that, with the accidental death of the Liaoxuan Holy Ancestor, the Liaoxuan holy land fell apart and was divided up by various parties. As a half-blood liaoxuan, I luckily dodged this calamity with my grandfather. It was also because of the stimulation of the Demon Feather Bloodline that I arrived at your Demon Feather holy land."

"However, no one knows that the ancestor of my bloodline was once the person in charge of destroying this tree. Back then, he took advantage of the chaos and secretly left a part of it that was not completely destroyed…"

"It's for the sake of one day, when his bloodline returns, they will also have their own foundation. Before they pass away, they will pass down this secret to the next generation."

"At this point, I'm the only one who knows."

Xu Qing remained silent. As he listened to the two of them talk, he analyzed the authenticity of these words.

Lan Yao nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

"Forget about the ordinary liaoxuan liquid. I'm more interested in the liaoxuan holy liquid that Fellow Daoist Feng mentioned might appear."

Feng smiled.

"There's a high chance that it will appear!"

"After all, tens of thousands of years have passed and the place where the ancestor hid that root is extremely secretive. Therefore, unless an unexpected accident happened during this period, there's a high chance that a lot of liaoxuan liquid has accumulated. As they condense, they will naturally become liaoxuan holy liquid."

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

At this point, Feng glanced at Xu Qing before continuing to look at Lan Yao.

"When I go down later and cast a spell to break the restriction, I'll have to rely on Fellow Daoist Lan to protect me. Also, don't go back on your promise to me after this is done."

Lan Yao grinned and twirled her hair that had been blown away by the wind as she leisurely spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, don't worry. Didn't you look for me to cooperate for the sake of my husband's item? I promise you, I won't go back on my word."

Feng affirmed and didn't speak anymore. He raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a terrifying pressure spread out, transforming into the image of a five-colored peacock that landed in the canyon.

The canyon instantly rumbled as black fog swept up, churning and spreading.

A passageway was revealed.

Feng headed straight for the passageway and entered it.

"Fellow Daoist Flame Mystic, please."

Lan Yao's beautiful gaze landed on Xu Qing.

Without a word, Xu Qing strided forward and stepped into the path in the fog, disappearing from sight after a few flickers.

Seeing how cautious Xu Qing was, Lan Yao's gaze flickered slightly as she casually swept her gaze into the distance. After that, she stepped into the passage.

As the three of them disappeared, not long later, the passage here was filled up by the surrounding fog again and everything returned to normal.

Only the heart-rending roars in the fog instantly intensified. However, they quickly became quiet and isolated everything.

Several hours later, outside the canyon, a figure silently strided over from the horizon.

It was a woman.

This woman was peerlessly beautiful and had a gentle aura. Moreover, her skin was fair and flawless. Behind her graceful figure was a pair of silver wings.

As for her attire, it was the same as Feng and Lan Yao's. It was a black robe embroidered with golden threads, complementing her fairy-like appearance and adding to her grace.

Her eyes were clear and bright. Right now, they emanated a calm light that swept in all directions.

"That Feng Lintao is truly cautious and paranoid. Other than setting up the void eyes here, there's also the intent of space shattering, and even a trace of the Empyrean Holy Aura… all to secretly check if someone has arrived."

"However… what's the use of these when I am prepared?"

This woman was none other than Yue Dong, who had descended with Feng and Lan Yao!

At that moment, her gaze flickered slightly. She took a step forward and directly stepped into the fog of the canyon, disappearing without a trace…
