Chapter 820: Chapter 819: We Will See It Through to the End
Trample the Luo Family!
These soft-spoken words fell amidst the scene, instantly like a thunderclap.
The people outside Ice Crystal Lake stood there, dumbstruck, watching Ye Qingchen stride away with Tang Mei’Er, their hearts surging with a storm of shock. In the Extreme North, no one was unaware of the Luo Family of Ice City!
But precisely because they knew, they were shaken.
The Luo Family!
A family with a legacy of over a thousand years, possessing an Earth Immortal and seven Half-Step Earth Immortals. They also have intricate connections and influence, with countless strong individuals ever at their beck and call.
Yet now.
A young man dares to claim he will trample the Luo Family!
Had it been before, they would simply dismiss such words as a joke, seeing them as nothing more than the delusional rants of an arrogant young man oblivious to the vastness of the world!
However.
When they witnessed Ye Qingchen at Ice Crystal Lake, with a devastating force, effortlessly slaughtering seven Half-Step Earth Immortals of the Luo Family like chickens and dogs, they were rendered speechless!
In their hearts remained only boundless fear:
"The Luo Family, and even the entire Extreme North, is about to be overturned! This is an unprecedented event in a thousand years!"
Countless people were utterly petrified.
At once.
The news spread throughout the Extreme North—a conversation echoed in Extreme Wilderness City, the Tang Family, other cities, and families:
"Have you heard? Someone claims they will trample the Luo Family!"
"The Luo Family of Ice City? That’s an ancient lineage with an Earth Immortal, a family with over a thousand-year legacy. Forget trampling them, ask him if he dares to stir trouble before Ice City?"
"Why wouldn’t he dare? Just today, seven Half-Step Earth Immortals of the Luo Family have been slain outside Ice Crystal Lake!"
"Seven Half-Step Earth Immortals killed? Are you serious? Who on earth did this?"
"Ye Qingchen from Taotian Palace!"
This news, almost like a hurricane, swiftly swept through the Extreme North. Earlier on, Ye Qingchen was unknown, but now his name is universally recognized!
Meanwhile.
The Luo Family convened an emergency meeting, summoning every family member scattered across the Extreme North to prepare to handle the situation. With the death of seven Half-Step Earth Immortals, it’s akin to losing a leg. Those forces once suppressed by the Luo Family will surely retaliate.
Fortunately, Luo Yunfei, the Earth Immortal, remains, capable of overseeing Ice City and stabilizing the situation. Otherwise, the Luo Family would have been utterly overthrown.
...
As the entire Extreme North trembled.
Ye Qingchen leisurely walked towards Ice City with Tang Mei’Er, simultaneously probing for news of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace.
With only ten days left until the March agreement, after trampling the Luo Family, he must return to Taotian Palace. The next time he ventures to the Extreme North, who knows when it will be?
Yet.
This path was far from smooth.
Luo Yunfei knew Ye Qingchen’s intent, and wouldn’t easily let him step into Ice City. Numerous forces were mobilized to fiercely besiege Ye Qingchen.
But was Ye Qingchen easily overcome?
Anyone who made a move on him would be deemed a mortal enemy, and he would show no mercy.
Walking along this path, blood flowed three thousand miles!
In just three days, they arrived within a hundred miles of Ice City, at Cold Moon City. According to Ye Qingchen’s plan, he should have stormed directly to the Luo Family and slain Luo Yunfei.
But Tang Mei’Er’s strength was lacking, struggling all the way here, especially under such extreme conditions?
Thus.
The two chose to stay at a nearby inn in Cold Moon City, planning to rest for a night before heading to the Luo Family the next day.
Listening to the inn patrons’ conversations, Tang Mei’Er and Ye Qingchen sat facing each other, their eyes gleaming, looking at Ye Qingchen as though gazing at a hero emerging from ancient myths.
She considered herself from the Cold Water Sect, having seen many dazzling geniuses, yet compared to Ye Qingchen, those geniuses were merely fireflies under the sun, moon, and stars—utterly dim:
"Mr. Ye, now everyone is talking about you! They all believe you are the strongest among the young generation of our time!"
To wield Human Immortal prowess and slaughter seven Half-Step Earth Immortals, scaring the Luo Family into a state of panic, such a young man—how many can match him?
"Oh, really?"
Ye Qingchen responded indifferently, not caring in the slightest, instead asking, "Is there any news about the Ice and Snow Divine Palace?"
"No!"
Mentioning the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, Tang Mei’Er showed disappointment.
These days, she made inquiries everywhere, even reaching out through sect brothers and senior members. Though they heard of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, none knew its exact location.
Its mystery surpassed ordinary imagination.
Even an Elder secretly transmitted a warning, cautioning her against investigating any matters related to the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, else it would invite mortal danger!
"Is that so?"
Ye Qingchen sighed upon hearing this.
Tang Mei’Er, noticing Ye Qingchen’s dark expression, was about to offer comfort when suddenly a commotion arose.
A group of imposing individuals stormed into the inn, their demeanor striking. Leading them was a man of unrivaled authority, akin to a regional hero!
"Oh my, isn’t that Luo Zhi? Isn’t he supposed to be in Ice City? Why is he here?"
Someone recognizing the authoritative man couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Who is Luo Zhi?" another asked.
"The master of the Luo Family in Ice City!"
His words sparked a chorus of gasps around.
In an instant.
The once bustling inn fell silent, deathly still!
Under the eyes of the crowd, whether shocked, fearful, or awestruck, Luo Zhi stepped into the inn almost without hesitation, heading straight towards Ye Qingchen.
"Mr. Ye!"
Luo Zhi gave a slight bow.
"Your Luo Family’s reaction is quite swift, to find me so quickly!"
Facing this major figure from Ice City, Ye Qingchen sat calmly, fiddling with his wine cup, not bothering to meet his gaze. Upon entering Cold Moon City, he sensed several "flies" trailing him.
But Ye Qingchen paid them no mind.
Unexpectedly, within half an hour, they came directly to him.
"Is there something you need?"
"Mr. Ye, I am here on behalf of our ancestor," Luo Zhi bowed, "The way things have developed, our ancestor doesn’t wish to see it continue. So he hopes you will stop!"
"Of course, having offended you, we will offer compensation to your satisfaction!"
"Should you persist, advancing further, our Luo Family will stand firm against you..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly a cold gleam flickering:
"Is that so?"
