Chapter 394: The Ice Clan’s Reaction
“From today onwards, you’re a member of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.” Qin Jue smiled and said indifferently.
After a brief moment of shock, Su Yan was overjoyed. “Thank you, Senior!”
“But forget about becoming a servant. I lack a chef now. Are you willing to become a chef?”
Of course, it was impossible for Qin Jue to really let Su Yan be a servant. Although Su Yan’s cultivation had been completely lost, with the True G.o.d Stage inheritance, it was only a matter of time before she stepped into a higher realm.
“Yes!”
Su Yan nodded without hesitation.
Beside him, Killing Dao opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, in the end, she chose to remain silent.
“Alright, go to the courtyard over there to rest for a moment and recover from your injuries.”
As he spoke, Qin Jue took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Yan. “There are some cultivation resources inside. They should be enough for you to use in a short period of time.”
“…”
This time, Su Yan didn’t thank him. She took the storage ring and bowed deeply to Qin Jue before turning around and entering the courtyard.
“Hu, looks like there’s going to be another person here in the future.”
Qin Jue smiled bitterly.
More than half a year ago, Qin Jue was the only one at the cliff. Now, he basically had enough people to fit two tables of mahjong.
Watching Su Yan leave, Killing Dao couldn’t help but grumble, “Master, we clearly agreed that I’m your personal chef.”
“Uh…”
Qin Jue was stunned and almost forgot about this.
“Ahem, it’s alright. You two can both be my personal chefs. This way, I can try out different flavors every now and then.”
“Hmph.”
Killing Dao raised her head, very displeased.
Qin Jue :”…”
…
Central Continent, Ice Clan.
Whether it was the Eight Great Sacred Lands or the Twelve Sacred Clans, because they were too powerful, they all had huge territory that belonged to them.
The Ice Clan was located in an area that was covered in snow all year round.
Unlike other factions, the Ice Clan and the Fire Clan were the two most special clans among the Twelve Sacred Clans.
The reason was very simple. They only cultivated fire and ice cultivation techniques and had perfected them.
In the entire Spirit Central World, there was almost no one who could simply suppress the Fire Clan and the Ice Clan in terms of fire and ice cultivation techniques, including the Eight Great Sacred Lands.
This was actually somewhat similar to the Pure Yang Sacred Land. It was also the reason why the two of them had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Pure Yang Sacred Land.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Ice Clan was exceptionally cold. All the elders and higher-ups were gathered here. They either had grave expressions or were unable to restrain their anger, forming a strange scene.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes before the Ice Clan Patriarch on the throne finally opened his eyes.
This was a middle-aged man with a head of blue hair. Even his pupils were blue. He couldn’t be said to be handsome, but he was filled with charm. At the same time, the cold aura he emitted made people unwilling to approach him.
“Bing Quan and Bing Ya are dead.”
The middle-aged man spoke without any emotion. “The members of the clans who went to the Southern Land this time were all wiped out.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a fuse had been lit. The higher-ups of the Ice Clan below immediately shouted, “Patriarch, who exactly did it? How dare they kill a member of our Ice Clan!”
“Patriarch, you must avenge the two elders and Young Master Heaven Blue!”
“Kill them! We must kill them!”
“…”
The status of the Bing Quan and the Bing Jie in the Ice Clan was extremely high. Many of the higher-ups were even promoted by them. Now that the two of them were dead, how could those higher-ups ignore their deaths?
As for Bing Qiongcang, he was a top genius among the younger generation of the Ice Clan. He was very likely to reach the level of a Grand Saint Stage expert in the future. Otherwise, the Ice Clan wouldn’t have given him such a simple mission.
Who would have thought that they would all be wiped out!
“There is no one in the Southern Land who could kill Bing Quan and Bai Xing. It must be the Soul Clan!”
The Ice Clan and the Soul Clan had always been at odds with each other. There were even frequent wars between them, so someone immediately targeted the Soul Clan.
“That’s right. We just fought the Soul Clan some time ago because of the spirit vein.”
“d.a.m.n Soul Clan!”
“Patriarch, we can’t just let this matter rest!”
“…”
“…”
Everyone roared excitedly. They wished they could pick up their weapons and rush towards the Soul Clan.
At that moment, the middle-aged man raised his hand and pressed down. The entire hall instantly fell silent.
“Heh heh, have you guys forgotten? We had an agreement. No matter what happens, we can’t attack the younger generation.”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “This has nothing to do with the Soul Clan.”
In order to prevent the bloodline from being severed, the Twelve Sacred Clans had once signed an agreement. No matter how the two sides fought, as long as the younger generation did not step into the battle, they could not attack the younger generation. Even if the younger generation did join the battle, they could only be dealt with by those of the same generation. Otherwise, they would be making enemies of the other eleven Sacred Clans.
The reason for this was because the younger generation often represented the future of the clan. If the clans a.s.sa.s.sinated each other’s fresh blood, then they would be done for sooner or later.
It was also because of this agreement that the Twelve Sacred Clans had been able to last for so long without falling. Of course, the Spirit Clan was an exception.
Although the Soul Clan was mysterious, they were absolutely not stupid enough to offend the eleven Sacred Clans at the same time. Moreover, even the Soul Clan would not be able to kill the two late-phase Saint Stage experts, Bing Quan and Bing Jie, so easily.
“If it’s not the Soul Clan, then who could it be?”
An elder was curious.
“Could it be… the Sacred Land?” Another elder said in a low voice.
Sacred Land!
These two words fell like huge mountains falling from the sky, suffocating everyone.
If it was the Sacred Land, then they could only pretend that nothing had happened.
“Hai.”
Seeing the higher-ups making random guesses, the middle-aged man said helplessly, “See for yourself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man flicked his finger, and a scene appeared in front of everyone.
The image was very vague, but one could vaguely tell that the people inside were Bing Quan and Bing Ya.
“Qiongcang, leave the rest to us.” On the screen, Bing Jie said confidently.
“Yes.”
The image trembled slightly and quickly pulled away. Clearly, this scene had been recorded from the perspective of Bing Qiongcang.
In this scene, Bing Ya slapped out twice in a row, and everyone saw an unforgettable scene.
Golden light flashed, and Bing Ya immediately exploded like fireworks. Immediately after, the same thing happened to Bing Quan, and then the scene stopped.
From beginning to end, they could not see what the person who attacked looked like. However, they were certain that Bing Quan and Bing Ya had been killed instantly!
What level of existence could instantly kill a late-phase Saint Stage expert?
A Grand Saint Stage expert!
“How is this possible…”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Did you guys see it clearly?”
The middle-aged man said faintly, “I hereby announce that this matter ends here. No one is allowed to investigate. If anyone disobeys, bear the consequences!”
“Yes!”
Everyone nodded unwillingly.
The Ice Clan might not be afraid of a Grand Saint Stage expert, but it was not worth offending him for the sake of Bing Quan and the others.
Most importantly, they had no idea where this Grand Saint Stage expert came from. If he belonged to the other eleven Sacred Clans, the Ice Clan would definitely come knocking to demand an explanation. The problem was that they had never seen such a method of attack before!
And the unknown had always been the most terrifying.
“Also, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to step into the Southern Land for the next hundred years!”
