Chapter 1206: Unexpected Person

The expression of Qian Jun and Bi Yi changed greatly!

Xing Huanzi frowned. His eyes were cold as he looked at the newcomer.

"Scram!"

As soon as he said that, a cold wind blew.

Killing intent gathered from all directions.

Xing Huanzi's personality had always been like that. Even though he had been killed by Xu Qing once, he was still like that after his rebirth.

Her arrogance and coldness had been engraved in his soul.

Even if they were also facing Quasi-Immortals, even if they had the advantage in numbers, even if there was an old man who was close to the peak of Quasi-Immortal.

However, the order he cultivated was one that would rather break than bend!

The middle-aged cultivator smiled when he heard Xing Huanzi's reply.

"What a temper."

A dark light flashed in his eyes as he turned and bowed to his leader.

The old man he was bowing to frowned, but he still nodded.

In the next moment, the middle-aged cultivator's aura skyrocketed.

It was as if he had borrowed strength!

Then, he raised his hand and pressed downwards. Suddenly, the black sea began to ripple, and black flying insects emerged from the sea.

Those flying insects had very malevolent appearances. Furthermore, they were not corporeal.

There were so many of them that in just a moment, they were densely packed and boundless.

It rose from the black sea and rushed toward Xing Huanzi.

A cold light shone in Xing Huanzi's eyes. In the next instant, countless chains materialized around him. As clanking sounds echoed, the chains spun into a vortex and scattered.

The power of Order suppressed everything.

The Dao of Balance extinguished everything.

Qian Jun and Bi Yi also took action at this moment. He released sword qi and coordinated it with Xing Huanzi, going all out.

Wherever their divine abilities passed, the black flying insects would crumble.

In particular, the vortex formed by the chains of order of Xing Huanzi rose up like a storm.

Looking from afar, those ferocious black flying insects seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow.

It continued to shatter.

However, the collapsed flying insects did not completely disappear. Instead, they left behind countless black dust that drifted in all directions like powder or fog.

The middle-aged cultivator formed an incantation gesture and pointed.

The black dust that filled the sky surged in unison, and with the middle-aged cultivator as the center, it all gathered around his body, enveloping him in layers and layers.

It was the same for his face.

It was as if his body had been reconstructed.

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged cultivator's appearance had disappeared, as if he had put on a faceless robe.

After that, the position of his face distorted, and in the next instant, his facial features reappeared. However, his appearance had changed greatly.

It had actually taken the form of Xing Huanzi!

Whether it was the appearance, the expression, or even the aura and soul, they were exactly the same.

After it was formed, black ash gathered on both sides of its head, and in an instant, two more heads were formed.

It actually looked like an Qian Jun and Bi Yi.

This scene caused the hearts of the ascenders to sink.

Then, the middle-aged cultivator smiled at Xing Huanzi and the other cultivators in his terrifying three-headed form.

Then, he ignored Xing Huanzi and walked toward his companions.

His companions weren't surprised at all when they saw this. Clearly, they were used to it. As for their leader, the old man, he didn't even look at them. He turned around and walked into the distance.

This group of people was actually going to leave just like that.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared.

As the middle-aged cultivator walked forward, he imperceptibly attracted the attention of Xing Huanzi and Qian Jun and Bi Yi.

As a result, the three of them … seemed to be controlled. They lost control of their bodies and moved forward together.

Even their expressions became blank, as if even their souls had been seized.

As for Xing Huanzi, although he was moving forward, his eyes shone with a fierce light. With every step he took, cracking sounds could be heard coming from inside of him, as if the control he had over him was collapsing.

This scene caused the middle-aged cultivator to let out a cry of surprise. The old man also looked back at Master Xing Huanzi with a thoughtful expression.

"Not bad. Take him away."

The old man said calmly.

As soon as he spoke, three of the team members beside him stepped forward and flew toward Xing Huanzi.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengli had a pensive look on his face. Xie Lingzi licked his lips. In the distance, Shan Su frowned. As for the other ascenders, all of them were silent, but there was a fierce look in their eyes.

Every cultivator who could ascend through slaughter had their own pride.

Seeing a fellow traveler being treated in such a manner, even though … with their relationship, there was no need for him to help, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Only, that group of people were clearly stronger, and there were several half immortals as well. There was even that elder with the terrifying aura.

There was a huge gap between them.

Thus, many times, even if their hearts were in turmoil, no one would walk out at that moment.

Xu Qing also felt uncomfortable.

Those two swords were his.

As for Xing Huanzi.

Xu Qing thought about it. He felt that something was off about this matter.

It would be fine if they were in the outside world, but this was the guiding star.

These newly ascended cultivators were waiting for their duties to be assigned.

If someone were to be conscripted like this, then this so-called reception would be a bit too childish.

"Something's wrong!"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

The moment his foot landed, his aura erupted. The Constitution of Space-Time instantly enveloped the world, and a bell flew out from his glabella.

In the next moment, a bell rang.

Jingling sounds filled the air as they reverberated through the world and into the minds of everyone present.

Everyone's expression instantly changed.

Whether it was Xu Qing's fellow ascenders or the group of cultivators, all of their expressions changed.

The ringing of the bells was like a clap of thunder in their ears. It shook their minds, shook their bodies, caused their cultivation to stagnate, and caused all of their spells to … lose their effectiveness!

In the next moment, many people fell from the sky.

The three cultivators that were charging toward Xing Huanzi also stopped. Their eyes were filled with terror and they couldn't continue to charge forward.

As for Qian Jun and Bi Yi and his brother, their bodies trembled. Amidst the ringing of the bells, they showed signs of awakening.

As for Xing Huanzi, he had been on the verge of awakening. Now that the bell rang, he woke up!

The killing intent in his eyes was incomparably intense.

Compared to them, the one who was affected the most was the middle-aged cultivator.

His three heads all collapsed in an instant. His body, which was made of black ash, was also torn apart. As the black ash scattered, his true body was revealed.

The pupils of the true body constricted as he looked at Xu Qing. His expression was grave to the extreme, as if he was facing a great enemy, and his heart was filled with a storm of survival.

Because, at some unknown time, an iron skewer had appeared in front of him!

This iron skewer was extremely sharp, and the coldness it emitted suppressed the middle-aged cultivator's soul.

He didn't know when the iron skewer would appear, but he knew that he had almost been pierced through by the iron skewer.

But now, there were two fingers clamping down on the metal skewer. Only then was it able to stop its sharp momentum.

The one holding the metal skewer was their leader, the old man who was infinitely close to the peak of Quasi-Immortal!

The old man slowly turned his head and his gaze landed on Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't evade at all. He calmly looked over and spoke.

"That is my sword, and also my person."

There was a profound look in the old man's eyes. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the sky. He bowed.

"Exalted Immortal, our team has completed your additional task. Can we leave now?"

The moment he spoke, the hearts of the surrounding people moved, and they all raised their heads.

Xu Qing also looked up at the sky.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the calm sky. The originally dim sky was now filled with color again.

Those colors were very bright and multicolored. Furthermore, after they appeared, they rapidly interweaved with one another, forming a gorgeous scene.

Amidst the brilliance, a figure gradually appeared, walking over.

This was an ordinary-looking old man.

He was dressed in coarse hemp clothes and looked like an old farmer. He held a crude wooden staff in his hand.

The wooden staff was covered in cracks, similar to the wrinkles on his face.

The moment he appeared, the old man who was infinitely close to the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Realm immediately lowered his head. Everyone in his team did the same.

The instant he saw this person, Li Mengtu's expression changed greatly. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he cried out involuntarily. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not.

"Master!"

Xu Qing's mind shook as well.

He felt a sense of familiarity from the old man.

It came from the constitution that he had given up in the past!

The newcomer was Li Mengtu's master, Immortal of the Dao Immortal Sect in the Western Starfield!

Poison Monarch!

At this instant, Xu Qing's vigilance was raised to the maximum.

He knew very well that this person was definitely not a good person. The constitution he had once given was also not out of kindness. That constitution contained the karma of borrowing and returning.

If he hadn't comprehended the Space-Time Constitution back then, he would have caused endless trouble in the future.

His path was about to be borrowed.

This was also the reason why he had decisively given up.

But no matter what, Xu Qing had never imagined that he would actually … encounter the other party here.

Furthermore, from his identity, it was clear that this Poison Monarch was not only the Dao Immortal Sect's Patrolman, he also had other responsibilities!

"I am the head of the Resource Division."

The Poison Monarch looked at the crowd calmly and spoke in a hoarse voice.
