Chapter 1683: Unexpected Person
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qianjun and Piyiās expressions changed drastically!
Star Ring frowned. His gaze was cold as he looked at the person and spoke coldly.
āScram!ā
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew.
Killing intent gathered in all directions.
Star Ringās personality had always been like this. Even though he had been killed by Xu Qing before, he was still the same after his rebirth.
Pride and coldness were already engraved in his soul.
Even though they were also facing a Quasi Immortal, even though the other party had the advantage in numbers and there was also the old man who was almost at the peak of the Quasi Immortal Realm, the order he cultivated would rather be broken than bent!
Hearing Star Ringās reply, the middle-aged cultivator smiled.
āYou have quite a temper.ā
A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he turned and bowed to his leader.
The old man frowned but eventually nodded.
At the next moment, the aura of the middle-aged cultivator surged dramatically.
It was as though he had borrowed strength!
The middle-aged cultivator raised his hand and pressed downward, causing the black sea to surge violently. From the surface, countless black flying insects emerged.
They were grotesque in appearance and exceedingly hideous, their forms seemingly intangible.
The sheer number of these creatures was overwhelming, and in an instant, they blanketed the area, rising endlessly from the black sea and rushing toward Star Ring.
A cold glint flashed in Star Ringās eyes. In the next moment, countless iron chains materialized around him, their clattering echoes reverberating as they whirled into a vortex before abruptly scattering outward.
The might of Order suppressed everything.
The Dao of Balance extinguished everything.
Qianjun and Piyi also joined the fray, unleashing sword energy that coordinated with Star Ringās attacks.
Wherever their divine powers passed, the black insects collapsed rapidly.
Especially under the tempestuous power of Star Ringās vortex formed by chains of order, the grotesque black insects seemed fragile and utterly incapable of withstanding the assault.
They continued to collapse.
However, these collapsed insects did not completely vanish. Instead, they left behind countless black dust particles, resembling fine powder and mist, drifting and spreading in all directions.
Under the middle-aged cultivatorās hand seals and pointed gesture,
the scattered black dust surged violently. Like a tide, it converged entirely upon him, enveloping his entire body layer by layer, until he was completely shrouded in its dark veil.
His face was the same.
It was as though his body had been reconstructed.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged cultivatorās features vanished, as if he had donned a mask-like, faceless garment.
After that, the location of his face distorted and his facial features reappeared at the next instant. However, his appearance had changed drastically.
He actually looked like Star Ring!
Regardless of appearance, expression, or even aura and soul, they were exactly the same.
Black ash still gathered on both sides of his head, instantly forming two more heads.
They looked like Qianjun and Piyi.
This scene caused the hearts of those ascenders to sink.
The middle-aged cultivator, now in his horrifying three-headed, single-bodied form, turned toward Star Ring and the two, offering them a sinister smile.
He no longer bothered with Star Ring and turned to walk toward his companions.
His companions werenāt surprised at all when they saw this change. Clearly, they were used to it. As for their leader, the old man, he didnāt even look and turned to walk into the distance.
The group of people was leaving just like that.
At this moment, a bizarre scene appeared.
The middle-aged cultivatorās walk actually pulled Star Ring, Qianjun, and Piyi.
This caused the three of themā¦ to seem to be controlled and lose control of their bodies as they moved forward at the same time.
Qianjun and Piyiās expressions also became dazed, as though even their souls had been snatched away.
As for Star Ring, although he was moving forward, his eyes revealed a sharp glint. With every step he took, cracking sounds echoed from his body, as though his control was continuously slipping away.
This scene caused the middle-aged cultivator to exclaim softly. His leader, the old man, also turned his head and looked at Star Ring in deep thought.
āNot bad. Take him away.ā
The old man calmly spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, three of his team members immediately walked out and flew toward Star Ring.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhengli fell into deep thought. Xie Lingzi licked his lips and Yuanshan Su frowned. As for the other ascenders, all of them were silent with a hint of sharpness in their eyes.
Every cultivator who could ascend from killing had their own pride.
Watching helplessly as their companions were treated like this, even thoughā¦ with their relationship, they didnāt seem to need to help, they still felt very uncomfortable.
However, that group of people was clearly stronger. Moreover, there were several Quasi Immortals and there was also that terrifying old man.
The difference was huge.
Hence, many times, even though there were waves in their hearts, no one walked out at this moment.
Xu Qing also felt uncomfortable.
Those two swords were his.
As for Star Ringā¦
Xu Qing thought about it and felt that something was amiss.
It would be fine if it was in the outside world, but this was the Reception Star.
They were waiting for their duties to be arranged.
If they were recruited like this, then this so-called reception was too childish.
āThis is abnormal!ā
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
The moment he landed, his aura erupted. The Space-Time Ordinance enveloped the world and a bell flew out from his forehead.
The next instant, the bell rang.
The clanging sound was ethereal and echoed through the world, echoing in the minds of everyone here.
Everyoneās expressions instantly changed.
Whether it was Xu Qingās peers or the group of cultivators, their expressions all changed.
The sound of the bell echoed in their ears like a thunderclap, shaking their spirits, sending shockwaves through their bodies, causing their cultivation to stagnate and rendering all their spellsā¦ ineffective!
At the next instant, many people fell from the air.
The three cultivators who were rushing toward Star Ring also trembled. Their eyes were filled with horror and they couldnāt continue forward.
Qianjun and Piyi trembled at this moment. Amidst the ringing of the bell, they showed signs of waking up.
Star Ring had already been on the verge of waking up, and now, he instantly woke up under the bell chime!
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 instantly collapsed. The body formed by the black ashes also shattered into pieces. Endless black ashes scattered in all directions, revealing his true body.
This true bodyās pupils contracted sharply as it suddenly turned to look at Xu Qing, its expression exceedingly solemn, as though facing a great enemy, while its heart surged with the stormy relief of having narrowly escaped death.
This was because an iron stick had appeared in front of him at some point in time!
This iron stick was extremely sharp and emitted a chill that suppressed the middle-aged cultivatorās soul.
He didnāt know when the iron stick had appeared but he was just a step away from having his forehead pierced by it.
But now, two fingers clamped the iron stick, stopping its sharpness.
The person who clamped the iron stick was his leader, the old man who was infinitely close to the peak of the Quasi Immortal Realm!
The old man slowly turned his head and his gaze landed on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing calmly looked over and spoke.
āThose are my swords and my people.ā
There was a deep meaning in the old manās eyes. After that, he retracted his gaze and looked at the sky before bowing.
āUpper Immortal, my team has completed your additional mission arrangements. Can we leave now?ā
As soon as he spoke, the hearts of everyone in the surroundings stirred and they all raised their heads.
Xu Qing also looked at the sky.
The calm sky rippled. The originally dim sky now had color again.
Those colors were very bright and colorful. Moreover, after they appeared, they quickly intertwined, forming patches of multicolored lights.
Amidst the multicolored lights, a figure gradually appeared and walked over.
This was an ordinary-looking old man.
He wore a burlap shirt and looked like an old farmer. He also held a rough wooden staff in his hand.
The wooden staff was covered in cracks, very 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 was the same.
The instant he saw this person, Li Mengtuās expression changed drastically. His eyes suddenly widened, revealing a hint of disbelief. It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but he cried out involuntarily.
āMaster!ā
Xu Qingās heart trembled.
He felt a sense of familiarity from this old man.
It came from the Ordinance he had given up on back then!
The person who came was none other than Li Mengtuās master, the immortal of the Dao Immortal Sect in the Western Starfield!
Poison Lord!
At this moment, the vigilance in Xu Qingās heart rose to the extreme.
He was very clear that this person was definitely not a good person. The Ordinance he had given him in the past wasnāt kind either. That Ordinance contained the karma of borrowing and returning.
Back then, if he hadnāt comprehended the Space-Time Ordinance, there would probably be endless trouble in the future.
His Dao would have been borrowed.
This was also the reason why he decisively abandoned it at the time.
However, no matter what, Xu Qing didnāt expect to encounter the other party here.
Moreover, from the identityā¦ it was obvious that this Poison Lord wasnāt just a patroller of the Dao Immortal Sect. He also had other responsibilities!
āIām the head of the Material Procurement Division.ā
The Poison Lord calmly looked at the crowd and spoke hoarsely.
