Chapter 1214: There is Ice Here

Xu Qing, who was standing on the seaweed, said these two words very calmly.

It was as if it was a matter of course.

He didn't need any extra prestige, even if he was surrounded by Hun Tian clansmen except for Xing Huanzi.

However, the calmer he was, the greater the invisible pressure he put on the Hun Tian clansmen.

It was because this was the fifth star ring.

The human race was supreme!

Outside the Imperial Palace, the members of the Hun Tian Imperial Family all wore grave expressions.

As if they were about to face a great enemy, their hearts also sank. To them, the previous Xing Huanzi was already extremely strong, and now, a second one had appeared, causing their hearts to tremble.

Especially that stalk of seaweed!

They naturally knew that this was the main body of Prison 29A.

To be able to control this seaweed, bring it here, and fight for it … this scene had a profound meaning.

The ripples in his heart were naturally even more intense.

This was especially true for the Hun Tian clansmen. They were no longer as glorious as they used to be, and none of them had truly witnessed the past with their own eyes.

In this generation, from the moment they were born, the human race was their sky.

Even though Aurora Beyond Heaven had lost its master, they were still filled with reverence for the Human Race.

It was only because of the majesty of the Hun Tian Emperor that they temporarily suppressed their reverence for the human race. However, in the end, they couldn't suppress their reverence for the human race in front of them.

At this moment, Xu Qing's calmness, his domineering presence, and his voice that echoed in all directions caused the Hun Tian clansmen to remember their reverence for the humans once more.

Some of them instinctively lowered their heads.

This was the slavery that was engraved in their blood.

It was also an important way for the humans of the fifth star ring to control the outsiders.

The giant face formed by the Hun Tian Emperor saw all of this clearly.

Thus, he remained silent.

He stared at Xu Qing.

Then … a light flashed between his eyebrows, and a token flew out.

The token emitted a gentle white light. The word "Exempt" was engraved on the front, while the sound of spiritual light was engraved on the back.

"Many years ago, our clan was favored by the Divine Light Realm Beyond Heaven, and we have recognized a great figure from the Divine Light Realm Beyond Heaven as our master. We were given this order, and it can exempt us from all taxes."

The Hun Tian Emperor said slowly.

As his words echoed in the air, the white light from the Order of Exemption spread out and enveloped the palace, isolating it from the outside world.

The floating imperial palace of the Hun Tian Clan was, in fact, the entrance to the Hun Tian Clan!

Xu Qing had heard Xing Huanzi talk about this writ of exemption before. Although he didn't know the details, since it was given and taken out by the Hun Tian Emperor, it must have some significance.

On the way here, he also sent a voice transmission to Zhou Zhengli to ask about it.

Zhou Zhengli was very good at gathering information and told Xu Qing everything he knew.

In the fifth star ring, there were some clans who, for various reasons, were granted exemption orders by different Outer Heavens. Generally speaking, when Greedy Envoys encountered such clans, they could only choose to retreat.

However … a dark light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He raised his right hand and took out the jade slip that the Poison Monarch had given him.

"By the order of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord!

Search for the mysterious nine-colored ice that can extinguish the flames of a God Lord. "

At this point, Xu Qing looked coldly at the Hun Tian Emperor and said indifferently,

"This is a matter of great importance. I suspect that your clan possesses this item. I want to investigate it."

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the special mission jade slip in his hand began to flicker. It emitted waves of light that swept outwards. When the white light came into contact with the light, it began to distort.

In the next moment, the white light that exempted the imperial order disappeared and no longer shrouded the imperial palace.

Perhaps the surrounding Hun Tian clansmen hadn't reacted yet, but the Hun Tian Emperors' expression flickered.

This scene had exceeded his expectations.

Under normal circumstances, the Order of Exemption that their clan had was enough to make the Greedy Envoys retreat. However, he had never expected that this human would have such a mission on him.

This made him feel a little preposterous!

What kind of existence was the Nine Shores Immortal Lord? To think that he would send someone with the combat strength of a Quasi-Immortal to search for mysterious ice that could annihilate the flames of a God Lord...

He didn't believe it!

However, the mission jade slip contained a special mark, and it was real!

Most importantly, the fact that he was exempt from the order also proved that he was the real deal …

This set off great waves in the heart of the Hun Tian Emperor.

That was because, even if the other clans had the exemption order, the authority of the order would be clearly lower when faced with the Nine Shores Immortal Lord's mission!

It wasn't just the members of the Hun Tian Imperial Clan who were shocked. Even Xing Huanzi's eyes narrowed as he looked at the mission jade slip in Xu Qing's hand.

Clearly, even he was extremely surprised.

As for Xu Qing, he stepped off the seaweed and headed toward the Hun Tian Imperial Palace.

Every step he took caused the starry sky to ripple.

Every time he approached, the expression of the Hun Tian Emperor flickered.

After Xu Qing had taken seven or eight steps, the giant face of the Hun Tian Emperor disappeared, and his true body walked out of the imperial palace and stood in the starry sky.

It was three hundred meters tall, had a crimson body, and had two bizarre faces. As soon as it appeared, shocking cultivation base fluctuations spread out, transforming into an invisible barrier in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing paused and looked calmly at the Hun Tian Emperor.

"You want to stop my investigation?"

The Hun Tian Emperor stared at Xu Qing and said in a low voice.

"We don't have Nine-colored Ice!"

"We'll know once we investigate!"

The one who said this wasn't Xu Qing, but Xing Huanzi.

The Hun Tian Emperor was silent for a moment, then sighed. He admitted that he had miscalculated. Waving his hand, he caused the Fourth True Immortal's relic to fly out of the imperial palace and land in his palm.

He decided to settle the matter peacefully. Since the other party wanted this item, then … he would just give it away.

Although this item was extremely precious, compared to what the clan was doing … he could only choose to give it away.

Therefore, he was about to speak.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed as he looked at the palace.

At almost the same time as Xu Qing, the seaweed seemed to have sensed something. Its leaves began to sway, and its aura grew more intense.

Inside the palace, there were teleportation ripples spreading out.

Someone was teleporting over!

The Hun Tian Emperor narrowed his eyes as he clenched his right hand and put away the ball of heavenly law he had intended to give away. Then, he changed what he was about to say.

"My master's emissary has come to our clan."

"My Hun Tian Clan will follow your orders regarding this place."

With that, the Hun Tian Emperor turned and bowed to the imperial palace.

All of the surrounding clan members lowered their heads and bowed.

Following this, the teleportation ripples grew stronger and stronger. Amidst the rumbling, a massive pillar of light descended from the starry sky above the Imperial Palace.

Xu Qing was not unfamiliar with this scene. It was exactly the same as when he was teleported back to his own universe.

A moment later, as the beam of light descended, an aura that was infinitely close to that of a Lower Immortal rose up from within the Imperial Palace.

This aura was terrifying to the extreme, causing the starry sky to wrinkle. Everything in the surroundings was occupied by dense immortal energy.

Everything related to godly spirits was rejected by the immortal qi.

It was dispersed by the Immortal Embryo.

The person who came … was just a hair away from transforming into an Immortal!

Xing Huanzi's expression was grave. Xu Qing frowned.

Then, the doors of the Imperial Palace that everyone was looking at suddenly opened.

A power that could topple mountains and overturn seas erupted from within.

It was as if lava was gushing out from a volcano.

Amidst the rumbling, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a red robe strode out. His face was cold and gloomy.

Every step he took made the starry sky tremble.

As soon as he was out in the open, the Hun Tian Emperor clasped hands and bowed respectfully, as did his fellow clan members.

"Greetings, Exalted Envoy!"

The newcomer's aura was terrifying, and the entire Hun Tian Clan had gone to pay their respects.

At the same time, the seaweed was also swaying instinctively, and its divine sense was quickly transmitted into Xu Qing's mind.

"He carries the aura of the Prison Warden who left a seal on the true god's wound!"

Hearing this, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.

As for the red-robed middle-aged man who had walked out of the palace, he looked around with an indescribably dignified gaze. When his gaze landed on the seaweed, a strange light shone in his eyes.

Then, he looked at Xu Qing who was in front of the seaweed.

"Are you the one who stole my master's divine food with this lowly plant?"

Upon hearing this, the Hun Tian Emperor, who had his head lowered, blinked thoughtfully.

Xing Huanzi stared at the middle-aged cultivator with a dark expression. The Constitution of Order on his body began to activate.
