Chapter 1167: Stop Pretending, Let’s Show Our Cards

The wind howled and swept through the Immortal Palace.

In the dark night, amidst the thunder and lightning, Xu Qing's figure advanced through the storm.

The heavenly secrets were in chaos, but his heart was not.

The sky changed color, but his spirit remained the same.

The events of the night were now completely clear. The seed formed by the Daughter of the Nine Shores was Xu Qing's bugle call to turn the tables. After the bugle call was blown, he would need a long spear.

As a result, his figure appeared outside the Aurora Hall in the central area of the Immortal Palace. No matter how those terrifying Divine Senses scrutinized him, his speed did not slow down at all. He directly passed through the square, and when he stopped … he was already in front of the Aurora Hall.

The wind and rain here was even greater. Rainwater poured down in torrents, flying about in the wind, cleansing the void, cleaning the limestone tiles on the ground.

Endless splashes.

Inside, lightning crackled as Xu Qing bowed his head and clasped hands in the direction of the temple.

"Father!"

"I have a few things to do tonight."

"I want to use the Marriage Contract!"

Heavenly thunder rumbled, but it was unable to shatter Xu Qing's voice.

After a period of observation and judgment, he was very confident that his request could be fulfilled.

Because the Marriage Contract originally belonged to the Young Master!

In addition, even if he was still hesitant in the beginning, after all this time, he didn't believe that Aurora Immortal Lord, wouldn't know about the things that happened in the Immortal Palace and the outsiders!

Although this period of history was only a mirrored space-time, the existences in this space-time were of extremely high status. Therefore, Xu Qing did not believe that the elders in the Immortal Palace would not have noticed the abnormality!

However, they had chosen to remain silent from the beginning to the end.

He didn't interfere!

No matter if it was Order or Change, they didn't help or stop him.

And silence, to a certain extent, was tacit approval!

Tacit approval of all actions!

That was why Xu Qing decided to make this trip tonight after combining his observations and judgment.

At that moment, his voice traveled into the hall and landed on the figure sitting cross-legged in the hall.

The figure slowly opened his eyes. His left eye was pitch black and his right eye was bright as he looked outside.

A moment later, the wind and rain stopped, the thunder stopped, and everything froze. A golden light slowly rose from the Aurora Palace and floated in front of Xu Qing.

It was a golden iron plate with the words 'Marriage Contract' written on it.

It was the marriage contract between Young Master Aurora and Fairy Spirit Phoenix.

Accompanying the marriage contract was Immortal Lord Aurora's calm voice from within the palace hall.

"Due to certain reasons, I am unable to help you with the matter you want to deal with."

"Deal with it yourself."

"After you're done, remember to go back and rest early."

Xu Qing lowered his head and agreed after a moment.

Then, he took the Marriage Contract and left.

Rain behind, storm in front.

After Xu Qing left, the wind and rain became even stronger. When the thunder roared for the third time, Xu Qing's figure had already appeared outside the academy of the Immortal Palace!

Xu Qing was no stranger to the academy through the young master's memories.

In his memories, the entire school was mostly made of immortal wood. The roof was covered with green tiles and surrounded by immortal trees. The environment was quiet and secluded. Sometimes, there would even be small bridges and flowing water, creating a kind of tranquil learning atmosphere.

However, at this moment in the night, looking at it in the wind and rain, it was different.

The trees shook violently, the water disappeared, the small bridge was hazy in the curtain of rain, and the house emitted a soft light, as if it was isolated from the world.

Gazing at the academy, Xu Qing took a step forward.

He walked into the haze and walked into the soft light. All of the restrictions here didn't exist to him.

As the Young Master, there were only a few areas in the Immortal Palace that he was not allowed to enter, but the school was not one of them.

Therefore, Xu Qing soon arrived in front of a sealed row house and stopped in front of number 37.

This row of houses was a special place for students to cultivate in seclusion. It was also the place where students were punished by the teachers to face the wall.

Thus, it possessed the might of the Immortal Palace, and it was difficult to break through with brute force.

Within cabin 37 was a figure sitting cross-legged in meditation. As soon as Xu Qing appeared, he seemed to sense something. His eyes snapped open, and he turned to look outside, a look of bewilderment on his face.

"You …"

Even as the words left his mouth, lightning flashed, lighting up the land and illuminating the two people on the other side of the door.

Outside the door was Xu Qing.

Inside was Li Tianjiao.

"Young Master!"

Li Tianjiao blinked and put on a bitter expression.

During this period of time, he had been extremely anxious and harbored a grudge against the Fourth True Lord.

According to his original plan, getting close to the Young Master was only the first step. After that, he needed to constantly pay attention to the Young Master's actions and see the true history clearly.

This was the direction of his constitution.

This fog was strange, not ordinary, but rather something that came from history.

The fog of history was the essence of his constitution.

The clearer he saw history, the more he could dispel the fog. And the fog that was dispelled would be absorbed by his constitution and become his own law.

Unfortunately, he was stopped at the first step.

Now, they could only watch helplessly as they were sealed here and wait for everything to end.

He could leave early, but he was unwilling to do so.

When he saw the Young Master, he let out a bitter cry.

"Young Master, it's not that I don't want to go to Myriad Beast Garden. It's just that this Li has been schemed against.

"Li Tianjiao."

Xu Qing said indifferently, interrupting the other party's narration.

He didn't have the time to listen to what Li Tianjiao had to say. His words were like sharp blades that tore through Li Tianjiao's mental barriers.

"Previously, you would rather approach me through the Billowing Space and Time to prevent yourself from going into seclusion. At the same time, it was also the first step of your plan.

But I don't care who you are or what your purpose is. "

"I'm only asking you, do you want to succeed? Do you want to come out?"

Xu Qing's calm voice echoed in Li Tianjiao's ears, louder than the rumbling of thunder outside. It was like his mind was about to explode.

His pupils instantly contracted, and the bitterness on his face instantly disappeared, turning into disbelief.

"Who are you?!"

Li Tianjiao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Then he stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't answer. Instead, he turned around and walked out. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the door that prevented Li Tianjiao from leaving silently opened.

Wind and rain poured in, accompanied by the sound of Xu Qing's voice.

"No matter what your goal is in the fourth level, I can make you succeed, but I can also make you fail."

"Now, I need you to do something."

"Go assassinate the Fourth True Lord, and let him cut off one of your arms."

Xu Qing left.

As the thunder boomed, Li Tianjiao sat there silently in room 37.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head. The waves in his heart were still strong. The young master was an outsider. This answer shocked him, and at the same time, made him feel powerless.

If the threat in the other party's words were said by someone else, it would indeed be a threat. Whether or not it could be carried out was another matter.

But if it came from the Young Master …

"We can only believe it …"

Li Tianjiao took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered with coldness as he strode through the open door.

Ripples appeared in space-time!

According to history, he should have been in seclusion until the calamity descended, but he died in seclusion.

He had become the Young Lord's trusted aide.

Furthermore, he became the caretaker of the Myriad Beast Garden.

He was no longer in seclusion and even planned to assassinate the Fourth True Lord.

Another arm was chopped off by the Fourth True Lord.

Such fluctuations would completely change the trajectory of this person's history.

"This is the first wave of tonight!"

"Next is Li Mengtu."

In the dark night, in the wind and rain, Xu Qing moved forward and left the school. When he appeared … he was already outside Zhong Chi's residence.

At the same time, outside the Thunder Punishment Palace, in the fox beauty's courtyard.

The fox beauty's body trembled and her eyes were bloodshot. The suppression from the Flame God Token made her feel the terrifying power emitted from it.

The fact that this medallion could be used to suppress deities in the fifth star ring meant that it contained a shocking amount of power.

Even though he was infinitely close to the Divine Platform Stage, his spirit was still shaken by the Divine Flame Badge.

He could even feel that the power of the Flame God could really be used on his own body.

In front of him, the Fourth True Lord sat cross-legged with a calm expression.

He looked coldly at the struggling fox beauty and said.

"Almost half of the night has passed. I'm very curious. Is there really someone behind you that I'm guessing … hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly flashed and he turned to look in the direction of the Academy.

The chaotic ripples there attracted his attention, but his gaze only fell there for a moment before he retracted it and looked at … the door of the courtyard.

Thunder rumbled in the sky as the Daughters of Nine Shores chariot arrived amidst the wind and thunder.

The moment it appeared, Fairy Spirit Phoenix walked out with an ugly expression. Before the fourth True Lord could speak, she had already taken the initiative to show off her strength.

"True Lord, why are you treating my Senior Sister like this?!"

As soon as she spoke, the black-armored guards behind her stepped into the courtyard and surrounded the area.

The Fourth True Lord had a strange look in his eyes, and a rare feeling of surprise appeared in his heart.

"I'm surprised that it's you."

There was a murderous look in Ling Huang's eyes as she spoke resolutely and decisively.

"The fox beauty is my master's disciple and also my senior sister. Since she's in trouble, I naturally have to come!"

"When was this identity decided?

The Fourth True Lord said slowly.

He had used Xie Lingzi's betrayal to destroy the fox beauty's identity. But now, he had been given a new identity by the Spirit Phoenix that had arrived.

"It's already been decided. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father. Also, if I say yes, it's true."

The Spirit Phoenix took a step forward and arrived in front of the fox beauty. With a wave of her hand, she used the power of the Flame God Badge as a host to help move away a little.

The fox beauty breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled.

"Master, I almost thought that you didn't want to save him."

The Spirit Phoenix was arrogant and ignored him.

Seeing this, the Fourth True Lord fell silent. In the end, he smiled and looked at the Spirit Phoenix meaningfully.

"I really didn't expect that you would come to save him!"

"However, your appearance has finally allowed me to see through the mystery of this matter."

"Either you are the mastermind I'm waiting for. If you aren't, then I can roughly guess who the real mastermind is."

"Unexpected, unexpected …"

"An identity that should have been impossible to obtain was actually obtained …"

The Fourth True Lord stood up slowly with a dazed look in his eyes as he muttered hoarsely.
