Outside of Time

However, when determining a matter, we cannot just speculate and judge. If the branch sect did not come to greet us, there may be other problems.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple to verify. Just go and take a look.

Immortal Zixuan raised his head and looked towards the sky, the capital city. Although the branch sect did not show up and could not be ushered in, making it difficult for them to go up, this kind of problem was not difficult for Zixuan to solve. Wuye Laoqu, who was beside him, also had a cold look in his eyes at this moment. As for the others, most of them seemed to have something to say. Thinking, many secretly glanced at Xu Ken and the captain.

Chen Tinghao and his Taoist couple also noticed something was wrong. After asking stingyly, Chen Tingzhun spoke immediately.

"Senior Jinxuan, Fellow Daoist Xu Xiao, Fellow Daoist Erniu, I will ask you later if there is a problem with the branch of your eight sect alliance, but if it is just a transfer into the city, we can help."

As he said this, he immediately took the jade slips to send messages.

Xu Qing and the captain heard this and bowed to Chen Tinghao to express their gratitude.

Zixuan Shangxian nodded slightly. If it was not necessary, she would not want to use her connections in the county capital on the first day of her arrival, especially for such trivial matters as entering the city.

And the most important thing is that this is the capital of the county and there are many strong people. You can't be as careless here as you are in Yinghuangzhou.

Everything has to be more cautious about this place.

Especially this moment that has just arrived.

So she first needed to figure out what happened to the branch sects of the Eight Sects Alliance.

So with the help of Chen Tingjia, three rays of light soon flew out from the capital of Shangfang County and transformed into three people.

These three people were wearing brown and black standard robes, and were surrounded by lightning. They were obviously the same sect of Chen Tingbo.

But he doesn't look like a sword holder.

After arriving, they exchanged greetings. Under Chen Tingbo's introduction, Xu Qing knew that these three people were disciples of the Taikoo Lei Meridian and were on duty for inspection in the county system.

After the three of them heard Chen Tinghao introduce Xu Qing and Captain Xin as the sword holders of Jin, they were obviously more polite, with respectful expressions on their faces, and escorted the Eight Sect Alliance and the others into the sky, heading straight to the county capital.

This scene made Xu Qing, who was good at observation, once again gain a clear understanding of the status of the sword holder.

At the same time, he also instinctively looked at the county capital city that was getting closer and closer.

From a distance, this city looks circular and extremely vast. It is surrounded by high walls and has countless rune marks shining inside, forming waves of terrifying pressure.

Especially when they got closer, the pressure was extremely shocking, sweeping over them as if they were verifying their identity as they entered the county.

With Chen Tinghao and the three county inspections as guarantees, Xu Qing and his party encountered no obstacles and successfully entered the county capital in order to prove their qualifications for entering the city.

As he stepped into this place, a majestic city was clearly reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.

Although the county capital is large, it is well-organized. There are long streets everywhere on the ground and many buildings. They are all made of sapphire and have purple roofs. While they are angry, they naturally have a sense of solemnity.

And because there are spiritual trees as decorations in the city, spreading in many corners and long streets, there is a sense of elegance in this solemnity.

Even more intense spiritual energy spreads out from every brick, tile, grass and tree, covering all directions, making the entire county capital city filled with lightness.

There are few secular people in it, but there are many monks. The streets are bustling with excitement and excitement. …

In particular, the buildings here look majestic from a distance and exquisite up close. There are many courtyards at the entrance, and the houses with small doors and small households are exquisite.

Both in terms of scale and shape, they are comparable to the city groups of the Eight Sects Alliance, and there is an obvious difference in background between the two sides.

What shocked Xu Qing the most in this county were two places.

First, because the city of the county capital is floating on the chest of the statue of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, when you look up here, the first thing you see is the broken face of the god, not the sun, but the statue of the head of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou.

Its sacred meaning, looking down at the common people, and the compassion for all living beings in its expression are clearly reflected in the eyes of every person in the county.

Secondly, after entering the city of the county capital, Xu Qing had a feeling that he was standing at the pinnacle of Fenghai County. His body, his soul and everything seemed to be at the moment he entered this city. , faintly integrated with Fenghai County.

This feeling was extremely strange. Xu Qing had never had a similar feeling in any city he had visited before.

And this place is obviously the most ordinary building in Fenghai County.

"That's the power of luck." Master Zixuan spoke softly.

"As the capital of a county and the core of the entire Fenghai County, the destiny of Fenghai County is gathered here. Although luck is illusory, it does exist."

"It's just that they are all based on the orthodoxy of each ethnic group, and it is difficult for sects and other forces to possess them."

Xu Qing was thoughtful when he heard the words.

At this moment, while walking forward, Chen Tinghao introduced the county capital.

"The entire county is divided into nine rings and seventy-seven districts. As for the details, you will naturally find out later, so there will be more."

Because he had to rush to the branch sect as soon as possible, Chen Ting did not describe the details to Xu Qing and others on the way. Instead, after learning the address of the branch sect, he took them there as quickly as possible.

The branch of the Eight Sects Alliance is located in the southwest of the county capital, in the 59th District.

The location is remote, but close to the core. From the outside, it looks like a beautiful courtyard. Inside, there is a faint rockery and running water, which is a bit delicate.

It's just that there are no disciples of the branch sect here now, and the door of the courtyard is sealed with a black talisman seal.

As the seal was attached to the seal, all the disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance looked troubled. Zixuan glanced at the seal, took out the jade slip with an expressionless face, and began to inquire with acquaintances in the county capital.

This seal has made everything clear.

The division of sects is indeed a problem.

"Zhang Siyun?" Xu Qing glanced at the seal and then towards the captain. The captain and Xu Qing looked at each other and slowly narrowed their eyes.

He and Xu Qing were both police officers and were no strangers to seals. They had even used similar things in the past.

Therefore, they know very well that sealing a house usually means that the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, so outsiders are not allowed to enter and destroy it, and they have to wait for the corresponding department to handle it.

And this was the first time they came to the county capital and they encountered this kind of thing. They were very likely to be targeted. As for who did it... Xu Qing thought about it, Zhang Siyun had the most motivation and ability.

After all, Zhang Siyun was a special recruit, which is enough to illustrate his background in the county capital.

Chen Tingbo on the side frowned after seeing the seal and took out the jade slips to help inquire. The same was true for his three fellow clan members. …

The county capital is too big, so unless it is a matter within one's own jurisdiction, not everyone is aware of matters in other areas.

However, as a local snake in the county capital, they soon got the answer after their inquiries.

"Seven days ago, the branch here was taken away by Silu Palace on suspicion of trespassing. They are now being interrogated." Chen Tinghao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qing and others.

At this moment, Master Zixuan knew the answer from her people, but it was more detailed.

"The order issued by Yao Yunci, the director of the Third Department of the Silu Palace, the crime of transgression can be large or small. This matter was obviously done deliberately. Xu Qing, among the Jin sword holders in the sword court this time, is the most famous of the Taisi Xianmen. What’s that person’s name?”

"The surname is Zhang, Zhang Siyun!" Xu Qing said in a deep voice.

"Do you have any conflicts?" Zixuan asked.

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded.

"That should be this person. I found out from my friends that this Yao Yunma is from the Yao family. He married the Taisi Xianmen, which caused the Yao family's displeasure. His Taoist companion's surname was Zhang, and they had a son." Immortal Zixuan's eyes flashed with cold light.

"So, the purpose of the crime of transgression is not to divide the sect, but to Xu Qing!" Wufeng woman said hoarsely.

"The other party is a little anxious at this time. Seven days is the time for interrogation. Xiao Qing, we were in the murder department back then. If we were going to do similar work, what would you do?"

The captain whispered something beside him, Xu Qing looked up into the distance and spoke lightly.

"Hibernating layout, kill with one strike."

"That's right, if we are not strong, we don't need to make such calculations and arrest people directly, unless we are afraid of doing so. But in such an eagerness, we don't have more plans to cast more nets, for fear of alerting the snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow , the opponent counterattacked very quickly and wanted to uproot it.”

The captain licked his lips.

"If you are in such a hurry, you have only one purpose, to throw dirty water. So first arrest a group of people as a basis, then wait for the target to appear, and take them away directly on the grounds of cooperating with the investigation. At the same time, you can use arrogant words to make the other party angry. , so as to make arrests. This kind of thing is done by the murder department because it is too rough. "

"Why is it so troublesome?" Wu Jianwu didn't understand and asked blankly. Ning Yan on the side heard this and glanced at him secretly and contemptuously.

"In order to make people fall into shells, this is a small matter that becomes big. If you package it a little, you can directly put it on the wanted list. Otherwise, it will just be dealt with slowly." The captain's voice was cold and he looked at Xu Qing.

"Little Aqing, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

"This matter can be easily resolved." Xu Qing calmly said.

"Yes, it's easy to resolve. You have to think about how to fight back."

"Quoting their methods, making some changes, and it's fine."

"Interesting, you dare to trick us two murderers!" The captain laughed when he heard this.

The words of the two people made everyone around them take a deep breath.

Chen Tingbo looked at Xu Qing and the captain with some deep meaning.

Zixuan's eyes showed appreciation, and the Wufeng woman beside her also smiled.

"Zhang Siyun's mother should send someone here." Xu Qing looked into the distance. After the words came out, on the street where his eyes were looking, two figures roared out at this moment.

Before anyone arrived, a strong sense of murder spread over the place. …

"Here we come." A faint light flashed in the captain's eyes, and the two figures came quickly from far to near. Instantly appeared in front of everyone. These two people were wearing blue Taoist robes and black cloaks on the back. They were similar to the Taoist priests in the Sword-holding Palace, but they were more focused on rules. Their expressions were even more gloomy. They ignored the existence of Fairy Zixuan and glanced at her as they approached. It fell directly on Xu Qing.

"Are you Xu Qing?"

"We, the disciples of Silu Palace, after interrogating the eight sects of the alliance, Xu Qing was suspected of infiltration. Silu Palace summoned Xu Qing for investigation. If he resists, Silu Palace has the power to kill him. If he refuses to investigate, , Silu palace servants have the power of coercion. If outsiders interfere with Silu palace's law enforcement, they will be suppressed. "

The two men, whose cultivation level was at the level of the Sixth Palace of the Golden Core, spoke lightly at this moment, and their voices were very deliberately spread in all directions, causing many passers-by to hear them.

Afterwards, the two of them did not arrest him immediately, but instead focused on the other disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance. They especially glanced at Fairy Zixuan a few more times, as if to give them time to react and respond.

But at this moment, Chen Tinghao and the disciples from the Eight Sects Alliance told Xu Qing and the captain that... this scene was exactly the same as what they had seen before.

Xu Qing worked in the Crime Hunting Department for three years, from being an ordinary member of the Crime Hunting Department to becoming the director of the Seventh Peak Crime Hunting Department. He was very familiar with the twists and turns. The captain is older.

Seeing the other party speaking like this, Xu Qing raised his fist towards Zixuan Shangxian.

"Senior, this disciple can handle this matter, no problem."

Xu Qing clasped his fists at Wu Fengqu and Chen Tinghao again, finally glanced at the captain, and walked towards the two Silu Palace disciples.
