Chapter 1836 - Unapologetic

In the midst of the icy world, an icy-blue-robed silhouette floated in mid-air as they looked at the ice crystals that devastated the land below. Their hands burned with icy-blue wisps. They were not flames but appeared similar to flames where they froze everything in their path. However, there was a peculiar yet grand aura emerging from it, which people were unable to recognize as they couldn"t sense it.

Who was this Myria, and how come they hadn"t heard about her prowess before? Not only could they not see much due to the icy mist, but they could not sense either as they had not paid attention through their soul sense brus.h.i.+ng over the projection, which could emulate the sounds clearly and energy somewhat.

However, the two arbitrators, Honorable Elders Julian Kruse and Mihangel Evans, both had their eyes wide, wondering if it was what they thought it was. The aura was somewhat similar to the Burning Phoenix Flames but was directly opposite, cold and threatening, making them curious as to what kind of flames it could be while they didn"t dare a.s.sume.

Nevertheless, they heard something which made their jaws drop.

"I give up."

The spatial formation reacted to these words and nudged them through the two formation cores they held. It was up to them to decide whether to eject her or not.

They couldn"t understand why this… Myria wanted out, but her words seething in an indifferent tone did stupefy them all.

Was she gravely injured? After all, to take out all thirty-two of them, how could it be possible without using up a ma.s.sive amount of blood essence?

The crowd couldn"t help but think, and so did the two arbitrators, whereupon they decided to bring her out.

Resplendent white light flashed outside the spatial formation surrounding the battle arena when an icy-blue-robed figure came out of it, gracefully flying in mid-air before landing beside the group of thirty-two youths she ousted.

The elders of their respective powers instantly shot her a look with hostile intent as though intending to get rid of her. However, their hearts skipped a beat when they saw her cold and calculative eyes glancing at them. Instantly, the hostile intent receded and what they saw was a veiled maiden of the Mystic Ice Sect with a vast beauty while her silky white hair flowed till her waist, gently waving in the air as it created a scenic atmosphere.

Her mesmerizing black eyes charmed them. However, realizing what this cold beauty did to their youths, their hostile intent returned with more anger as they couldn"t believe that they were charmed by a woman with a Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivation.

However, at this moment, Sect Master Bing Luli appeared before Myria and the others as she stood in between them.

Instantly, the atmosphere became tense while no one uttered a word.

Even the two arbitrators found it difficult to talk because they knew that the thirty-two youths from the four mid-sized hegemonic powers were gravely injured. A few of them were even crippled, which made the atmosphere all the more volatile to be interfered with as they felt as much as a little spark of a word could ignite their feud that could last a lifetime.

A hegemon from a small-sized wanted to offend four mid-sized hegemonic powers? Everyone could see the end to this kind of scenario badly ending for the Mystic Ice Sect!

"You… you sneak attacked us… shameless...!"

Suddenly, a Jade Lotus Valley"s maiden knelt on one knee to stand up as she spoke with a low voice, appearing to be aggrieved before an elder of her sect came to help her up.

Myria coldly smiled as she looked at them.

"Ganging up to battle three of my Mystic Ice Sect maidens when there were so many of you was a foolish thing to do. Fortunately, one of them escaped to tell me this information, and I"ve promptly dealt with the situation. However, you can blame me if you"re crippled and not part of the group who ruthlessly a.s.saulted those two maidens, but you aren"t crippled, right? So shut up and accept your defeat."

The maiden of the Jade Lotus Valley"s ice-cold body s.h.i.+vered before she spat a mouthful of blood and ended up fainting as she twitched.

"You…!"

The elder of the Jade Lotus Valley clenched her teeth at Myria, glaring at her for aggravating her disciple"s injuries. Not only her but everyone else clenched their teeth as they saw their disciples either faint or spurt blood from humiliation.

This woman was just going too far!

Myria didn"t bother with them and turned to look at Sect Master Bing Luli.

"How are those two?"

"One of them, Kyrele, is crippled while the other is gravely injured. They"re being treated as we speak."

"Do we have to point out that it was an accident?"

A sharp elder, dressed in pristine white robes of the Emperor Sword Sect, spoke as he interrupted them.

Myria looked towards him and shook her head.

"It doesn"t matter. All that matters are that the ones who put her in this state suffer the same."

"Arrogant…!" The Emperor Sword Sect Elder"s expression changed as he couldn"t calm himself anymore.

"You think your puny fellow maiden"s life is equal to our disciples" lives? Know your place, tras.h.!.+ Just because you became lucky in becoming this powerful, don"t think you are suddenly now better than everyone else!"

Myria couldn"t help but blink at this Emperor Sword Sect"s Elder whose ma.s.sive High-Level Law Rune Stage undulations tried to oppress and scare her. Her eyes then narrowed, making her wonder what to do with him, when suddenly an authoritative voice echoed.

"Silence…"

The tense atmosphere was instantly shattered as the undulations receded. Everyone turned to look at the Mandate Emperor and saw him continue.

"As long as people didn"t die, no one is to make any noise. Even then, you should let us hosts of this compet.i.tion deal with the situation."

"But… she…"

"Arrogant and unapologetic? That"s her problem, and karma will dictate her future accordingly. You don"t need to worry about that during the course of this compet.i.tion."

The Emperor Sword Sect"s Elder trembled before he nodded and took his crippled disciples away. In fact, the crippled individuals were mostly from his Emperor Sword Sect as they were the ones who bullied the Mystic Ice Sect beauties with heavy attacks.

However, this was a compet.i.tion where the youths showcased their strength. Accidents do happen while they were feeling good about their techniques and show of force, but wasn"t this too much, crippling many and gravely injuring all simultaneously just for one woman?

As he inwardly complained and left along with the others who hurriedly healed their precious disciples, Myria and Bing Luli stayed as they matched gazes with the Mandate Emperor.

The Mandate Emperor felt something he couldn"t explain, but he didn"t ponder much on it.

"Child, why did you give up? You could"ve still partic.i.p.ated, possibly even came first."

Myria"s brows couldn"t help but twitch.

Child? The urge to call him a little boy swelled within her heart, but she knew that she had to suppress it and moved her lips.

"Does not matter to me."

"Why?"

"The rewards are not appealing..."

The Mandate Emperor"s brows twitched to her nonchalant words. He really couldn"t tell if she was mocking him or the rewards that were promised for this compet.i.tion. Nevertheless, looking at her leave the battle arena to her Mystic Ice Sect"s location, he realized that she was truly arrogant and didn"t even bother to give him any face as a junior.

However, instead of being offended or even remotely displeased, it reminded him of a certain someone equally young and arrogant that it couldn"t help but make him smile.

Myria and Sect Master Bing Luli headed towards the floor of the hegemons before they arrived at the Mystic Ice Sect"s seating area. But after Myria took her seat, her demeanor abruptly changed as an innocent smile appeared on her face as she saw a few projections before it quickly turned sad.

"Myria, I looked forward to meeting them..."

Inside Myria"s soul, Ellia"s voice resounded, causing the former to reply.

"So what? Until then, were you going to let go of the perfect opportunity to take them down while they all looked like they were having fun after crippling Kyrele? You have the next segment to look forward to. Besides, your beloved isn"t here."

"Hehe. It"s just... I didn"t expect you to take over me. I"m the one who is supposed to be partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion, remember?"

"I never said that I wouldn"t interfere. I just wanted you to have fun, but before that, no one should mess with us and get away with it."

"Hehehe~" Ellia giggled loudly.

"What?"

"You"re becoming more like me..."

"No. I"m just a vengeful woman..."

Ellia couldn"t help but shake her head when she suddenly stood up, looking at the person who appeared in front of her. Her sharp yet s.e.xy eyes were striking but what was even more eye-catching was her voluptuous body with almost perfect proportions, slim yet curvy, especially her twin peaks.

"Evelynn…"

"It"s been a long time, Ellia."
