The Spirit Zone was currently the territory of the Ice Spirit.

The other Spirit clans had either been eliminated or had escaped from this place.

For this reason, it kept snowing, accompanied by a chilling wind, throughout the entire Spirit Zone.

The temperature, which had dropped way below freezing, made anyone who wasn’t an Ice Spirit suffer a lot.

Somewhere deep in the Spirit Zone, there was a palace constructed with thick ice from the deep sea. Crystal clear and completely flawless, it was as beautiful as any famous piece of art.

People could even see what was inside the palace when they were outside.

At the moment, the palace was packed with people who were busy discussing something. All different voices could be heard talking and arguing.

They were all complaining about the geographical position of the Three Middle Realms and its lack of resources.

Standing in a corner, Ye Xue was as stunning as always. She looked as pure as an angel. No one could spot any flaws, such as normal women usually had, on her.

However, she looked a bit dull. Her eyes looked empty.

“These aren’t important. When our Spiritual Lady finishes working on her Supreme Venerable Heart that can be used to help us, it won’t take long for us to attack the Three Middle Realms!”

The middle-aged man sitting high on the throne at the center of the room said in a deep voice.

The others kept nodding at him involuntarily. They looked eager and expectant.

However, the Spiritual Lady the man had mentioned, namely Ye Xue, shivered and gnashed her teeth with effort.

“It’s snowing and windy everywhere in the Three Middle Realms. Ye Xue, let’s take this opportunity to get married.”

Ye Xue’s reaction made the middle-aged man grin impudently . He seemed to be enjoying seeing the cold beauty’s helplessness.

Ye Xue did not answer, so the middle-aged man added, “I mean, you don’t like accidents, do you?”

Knowing what he meant, Ye Xue nodded reluctantly.

It was a simple nod, but it seemed to have taken all of the strength out of her. It was as if even her soul had been taken away.

“Father, Ye Xue has traveled hundreds of miles locked in ice a lot recently. She has spent too much of her spiritual power. I’ll take her back so that she can have some rest.”

A young woman walked out of the crowd. Her skin was not as pale as the Ice Spirit’s. It was a porcelain white color, which looked better.

Her beauty and perfect skin would only be outdone when she was standing next to Ye Xue.

“Okay. Go ahead.”

The middle-aged man was the Ice Emperor of the Ice Spirits from the Spirit Realm.

He threw Ye Xue a greedy look before waving at the woman.

“Congratulations on getting such a beautiful woman.”

“We have more than one pleasant event coming. It’s time for us Ice Spirits to thrive!”

Ye Xue left the palace exactly as if she was a walking dead. Those disgusting voices still kept coming.

She wished she could use her last spiritual power to freeze all of those annoying people.

“Ye Xue, you…you don’t have to do things you don’t want to do like this.”

The woman taking her to rest said something quite bold. She had apparently plucked up her courage to say that, because she looked back at the palace with fear after saying it.

“I must finish it.”

Ye Xue said right away without thinking.

However, then a bitter smile pulled up the corners of her mouth.

She must atone for what she had done. She must save Nangong Xue!

“You will regret it! The man called Jiang Chen will feel guilty too,” the woman said.

She seemed to know about the incident and Jiang Chen quite well.

“Jiang Chen told me he would come to the Spirit Realm soon. If he can’t find me there, he’ll come here.”

Speaking of Jiang Chen, Ye Xue’s empty eyes finally lit up with a faint light.

“Aside from whether he can make it or not, even if he really comes, nothing will change,”

The woman said.

She knew fragments about Jiang Chen from what Ye Xue had said before.

What impressed her the most was him never giving way and working his way up.

But behind those merits was the fact that Jiang Chen was all by himself and had many enemies.

The Ice Spirit was so strong that even a Martial Arts Saint would not be able to save anyone.

“My apprentice younger brother will work it out,” said Ye Xue.

The woman could in no way understand this kind of trust.

She let out a long sigh and looked guilty, because her father was going to sacrifice Ye Xue’s happiness for his own interest.

And he had actually forced Ye Xue to do that. She really felt uneasy about it.

“Eh?”

At this moment, Ye Xue lifted her perfect chin and gazed into the snow at the far end of the courtyard.

The woman also sensed something. She looked in the same direction as Ye Xue was gazing.

Then her pupils suddenly contracted.

The bitter wind cut like a knife. In such a wind, a man’s figure was approaching them.

She knew out of instinct that it was not a Spirit.

It was obvious what it meant.

CHU! CHU! CHU!

The unique communication method of the Ice Spirits started in the wind.

Numerous chilling spiritual powers soared. The Ice Emperor and others came outside of the palace to see what was going on.

“D*mn it! Someone has intruded! Where are the guards?!”

The Ice Emperor said with outrage.

“Ice Emperor, the person coming isn’t covering his energy! I gather he has gotten rid of the guards!”

An elegant-looking man, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes, spoke up.

“Huh, just a Martial Emperor. Ice Emperor, let me handle him!”

A large man in the crowd wearing armor sensed the strength of the arrival’s energy. He showed a disdainful cold smile.

After speaking, he stood on his tiptoes and then jumped into the snow.

“Is that him?”

The woman asked in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Ye Xue felt she was alive again. Her eyes lit up more and more.

“Alas, how could he have come alone? I don’t think he could even deal with General Bing Jue…”

Before her voice vanished in the air, a tragic scream rang out.

It was from the General Bing Jue she had just mentioned.

As arrogant as he was, he was defeated as soon as he confronted the enemy. The person who was arriving grasped his throat and pushed him ahead.

At this moment, the person’s figure dashed out of the snow and the wind and came into everyone’s sight.

It was a young man whose age surprised the Ice Spirit.

His handsome face looked even colder than those of the Ice Spirits. The black eyes below his dashing brows were emitting a light which seemed to be able to pierce through the air.

What was under that black robe was like a bottomless abyss beyond comprehension.

He was carrying the great general of the Ice Spirit just as if he were carrying a chicken.

It made the Ice Emperor and others extremely angry.

“A Martial Emperor, what kind of trouble does he think he can stir up? Switch on the spiritual formation and kill him!”

The Ice Emperor gave the order decisively. Then he looked toward Ye Xue.

He had noticed the pretty woman’s facial expression and confirmed his assumption.

“That’s bad. It’s the level-two Snow Spiritual Formation!”

The woman felt worried. She hurried to throw Ye Xue a look, but only saw the latter’s facial expression remain the same.

In the air, the wind was blowing, and it was snowing more heavily.

With the black-robed youngster being at its center, a spiritual power as powerful as the power of oceans swept over.

The freezing power contained in it made the temperature drop to a dreadful extent.

All of a sudden, a fierce fire broke out from under that black robe, which later swept all over the place.

A fierce reaction between ice and fire was happening.

“Huh! Ice and fire are nemeses, but it’s the ice that usually conquers the fire!” The Ice Emperor showed a cold smile. In his eyes, this man was unbelievably stupid.

However, words like stupid were never proper to describe that black-robed youngster.

While the fierce flame was being harnessed rapidly, the snow and the wind somehow started to weaken.

In a process that could be observed by the naked eye, not only did the spiritual formation start to stop working, but the snowy weather finally stopped.

“Ice Emperor! The spiritual formation…the spiritual formation has been completely destroyed!”

Feeling confused, the Ice Emperor heard a panicked voice.
