Chapter 543 – Ice Palace
When Yang Junshan saved Adept Jing Yuan, Adept Jing Yuan also specially reminded him that it would be best to avoid Snow Wind Sword Sect’s search from Congee County after he returned from the ice plains.
Originally, Yang Junshan thought that Adept Jing Yuan meant that the power of the Snow Wind Sword Sect was considered to be the weakest amongst the three northern counties of the Liang Zhou. But now, it seems that the Adept Jing Yuan clearly had something on his mind at that time, and it was likely that they did not already know that the Snow Wind Sword Sect was going to split apart.
It seemed that this time, the interior of the Snow Wind Sword Sect had split apart, and those who had betrayed the sect had the shadow of the Profound Scale Sect behind them. Most likely, none of the three great sects in the Southern Three Counties of the Liang Zhou would be able to break away from their relationship, and even this could directly affect the situation of the cultivation world.
The one who was in charge of this split event was one of the three great elders of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, the current palace master of Frozen Cloud Asgard, and the Taihang Realm cultivator, Spiritual Master Ye Hua.
Accompanying Ye Hua were two elders from the Heavenly Dipper Realm, seven hall masters of the Profound Constellation Realm and Gangli Accumulation Realm, as well as three legacy disciples of the realms of life and a total of thirteen high order cultivator s of above the realms of life.
Adding on the several hundred martial arts realm and Mortal Realm disciples that he had brought with him from the Snow Wind Sword Sect, Spiritual Master Ye Hua’s rebellion had weakened one third of the Snow Wind Sword Sect’s power, and directly occupied a county of the Congealed County.
At the same time, the three major sects of the Southern Liang Zholl called for restraint from both sides. With the invasion of the Alien Cultivator and the upheaval in the extreme north, which could affect the situation of the entire Liang Zhou, the battle between the Snow Wind Sword Sect and the Frozen Cloud Asgard would only cause pain to their enemies and loved ones.
At this time, the news of the drastic change in the glacier had spread. Almost all of the cultivators from the other continents who had died in the ice plains had their own forces in mind as they tried to enter the ice plains and find out the truth behind it. Meanwhile, the Extreme North ice plains was only on the border with the Liang Zhou.
Not only would Snow Wind Sword Sect not agree to such conditions, the other three sects of the Liang Zhou, as well as the ice palace they had just split apart, would also not agree to it.
But at this time, Spiritual Master Ye Hua actually stood out and accused the Snow Wind Sword Sect of having long sensed that the ice plains were going to change and had evacuated most of the high order cultivatohat had entered the ice plains in advance. However, he did not inform the other cultivators that would come to the ice plains, which in the end caused heavy losses for the Adept Realm Cultivator s under the sects and powers.
Very quickly, the various sects found out that before the change in the glacier happened, the Snow Wind Sword Sect had indeed recalled the disciples that roamed the fields. Although there was still no evidence that the Snow Wind Sword Sect did not know, but just this sort of abnormal action made it impossible for the Snow Wind Sword Sect to get rid of the suspicion. There were even rumors in the cultivation world that there was an unspeakable transaction between the Snow Wind Sword Sect and the Alien Cultivator.
It was said that the Snow Wind Sword Sect had no choice but to send out two squads led by Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators to investigate the truth in the ice plains. In the end, both squads were intercepted by Frozen Plains Desolate Beasts, and in the end, they had no choice but to return to the Liang Zhou. One of the two Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivators was also heavily injured.
After this series of mishaps, the Snow Wind Sword Sect couldn’t bother to recruit any more rebel factions led by Ye Hua. The Frozen Cloud Asgard also had the support of the masterminds as they gradually took over the territory of the Congee County that belonged to the Snow Wind Sword Sect.
However, even though the two sides never had a major conflict, the smaller the conflicts on the border, the more intense the enmity between the two sides, as low-level cultivators who originally belonged to the same sect fought back and forth on the border.
Furthermore, on the way south, along the way, they had met with countless of feuds and killings between the two sects. However, most of them occurred on the side of the Congee City, and there were even many local powers in the Congealed County who were hostile to the Frozen Asgard. It could be seen that during the battle between the two sects, the Snow Wind Sword Sect still held the upper hand.
Although the Frozen Cloud Asgard had taken over the Ning County due to the benefits of the external environment, the Snow Wind Sword Sect’s thousands of years of operation was still deeply rooted. Who knew how many powers had endless connections with the Snow Wind Sword Sect s, and if the Frozen Cloud Asgard wanted to completely transform the Ning County into its own sphere of influence and integrate all the forces within the city, they would still have a long way to go.
However, on this day, when Yang Junshan had passed through half of the agglomeration and was about to enter the Pure County in a day or two, he met a familiar person in a small-scale clash between Martial Realm Cultivator s in the wilderness.
This time, there werotal of about thirty Martial Realm Cultivator s on both sides. The weaker party consisted of more than ten people led by two martial arts realm Perfection of the cultivator s, while the other party consisted of about twenty Martial Realm Cultivator s led by three.
The origin of the conflict between the two was an open-air spirit material mine. The ten or so cultivators on the weaker side were obviously guarding this mine previously, while the other side had successfully ambushed the cultivator guarding the mine. It seemed like they not only wanted to loot the spirit materials from the mine, but also wanted to take this mine as their own.
“Haha, Ning Hanwu, with just a mere disciple at the Great Perfection Stage, you actually managed to be taken in as a Successor Disciple by the Ice Palace. This really makes one laugh out of the blue.”
One of the other two Perfection of the cultivator s was Ning Hanwu, who was one of the Ning Family cultivators that Yang Junshan met when he first entered the Ice Plains. That person’s cultivation was only at the fourth stage at that time, but he hadn’t met him for three or four years.
Ning Hanwu said loudly, “Kaolin, if you have the ability, just come at me. You’re just like a woman, making people feel tired listening to you!”
After pausing for a moment, Ning Hanwu continued saying loudly, “Don’t worry, when these bastards from the Three Ultimate Martial School attacked us, I already sent out my Message Talisman and our sect will come to our rescue soon. When that happens, the ones who are in trouble will be those bastards in front of us!”
The Three Ultimate Martial School naturally referred to the Snow Wind Sword Sect, the latter referred to him by the name of the cultivation world. On the contrary, in the Liang Zhou, a large majority of cultivators called him the Three Ultimate Martial School, and most of them called themselves the Snow Wind Sword Sect Cultivators.
The cultivator on the other side, who was called High Alkali, laughed and said, “The Ice Palace’s rebellion will take at least an incense’s time to arrive at the nearest encampment. Ning Hanwu, do you think you can hold on until then?”
It wareasure talisman with a Precious Techniques and Divine Powers sealed in it. He then laughed complacently: “I don’t know how many families and families in this Ning Country have turned their hearts towards our sect, but the arrangement of your rebellious clans has long been discovered by us, so I have specially requested for a treasure talisman from Master in order for all of you to perish here today!”
As he finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of despair on the faces of the group of Ice Palace traitors and activated the treasure talisman in his hands.
Snow began to fall and instantly covered the bodies of Ning Hanwu and the others. They were about to turn into ice sculptures.
However, Gao base’s complacent expression did not last for long before it stiffened. This was because at the same time that the treasure talisman in his hand was freezing the more than ten Martial Realm Cultivator s of the Frozen Cloud Asgard, it had also frozen Yang Junshan who was hidden at the side watching the battle.
How could there be a f * cking cultivator hiding in the corner? Even if he was hiding at the side, how could a Daoist cultivator be struck by a treasure talisman activated by a Martial Realm Cultivator? Even if it hit, how could it be so easily frozen by a mere treasure talisman?
Unless it was a war to exterminate the sect, the high order cultivator would never take the initiative to attack the low leveled cultivators. This was because once they started to kill each other, the two sects would prepare to exterminate their own clan.
Of course, ‘not taking the initiative’ did not mean that the high order cultivator would not attack low leveled cultivators. If low leveled cultivators took the initiative to ‘provoke’ the high order cultivator, then it would be well-deserved to be killed. Even if it was a cultivator who took the initiative, as long as it was not a massacre, there would be one or two low leveled cultivators killed.
On the contrary, he was able to become a direct disciple of the Snow Wind Sword Sect when he was at the perfection-stage of the martial arts realm, not only because of his cultivation, but also because of his sharp brain that knew how to drill.
The moment he saw this, he knew that he had been tricked. Moreover, the person who did this was a cultivator, the type who had nowhere to argue. He immediately turned around and ran, not even having the time to greet his companions.
The magnetic precious light swept across, and the Snow Wind Sword Sect cultivators who wielded the magic tools instantly felt as if they had been cut off from their respective magic tools. After that, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, and instantly pressed the cultivators with lower cultivations down to the ground, squatting on their butts.
The true disciple called Gao Ya had an extremely quick reaction and had already used all of his strength to flee, but under the suppression of the magnetic precious light, his entire body’s movements instantly became countless of times faster. When Yang Junshan leisurely walked in front of him, this person was still trying his best to fly forward, and even the light under his feet was tenaciously soaring.
“S-senior, I did not mean to do that, please spare me, spare me, I am the direct disciple of Snow Wind Sword Sect Xie Guangpeng …”
Yang Junshan smiled sinisterly, and said: “Threatened me?”
“No, no, senior, have mercy, please …”
Yang Junshan reached out and slapped his dantian. This person even tried to circulate his sacred art to block, yet Yang Junshan’s palm directly struck his abdomen as if it were nothing.
