Chapter 395: Chapter 401: Ancient Tribe Ancestral Land! Vast Ice Palace! (Fourth Update)
If Hua Youyue was likened to the orchid whose scent permeates, peerlessly beautiful, and Han Yan’er was a tall stunning woman with a grounded charm, then Little Ice before them was like the Heaven Mountain Snow Orchid, as pure and flawless as ice.
Upon hearing the voice, the True-Chicken-Cat trio turned their heads and instantly, their eyes lit up.
“Wow, here comes another one, she doesn’t look bad either, to steal or not to steal? Cheap Cat rubbed his hands, looking ready to pounce.
Yang Zhen slapped Cheap Cat on the head and scolded, “What are you talking about? You think you can just steal a beautiful young lady like that? She’s to be wooed.”
“Woo?” Cheap Cat rubbed his head, his eyes twinkling with an unusual light, he looked at Yang Zhen disparagingly and said, “Like wooing the Spirit Flower Girl and Little Cultivation Fool?”
Yang Zhen was startled then said angrily, “Damn, the little lady is okay, but when did I, Sao Saint, ever woo the Little Cultivation Fool?”
“You did!” Showy Chicken pulled his head out from under his wing and said seriously.
Cheap Cat chuckled, full of contempt, “No wonder she achieved enlightenment with you, so fresh.”
Yang Zhen slapped him, but Cheap Cat dodged it with foresight and stood alongside Showy Chicken.
Seeing her ignored by the true Chicken-Cat trio, who were busy chatting amongst themselves, Little Ice’s icy clean face instantly expressed a hint of anger. She glared at Yang Zhen and said, “It seems like you didn’t hear me!” “Who are you?” Yang Zhen curled his lips, “Little Ice, you better leave here while I’m still in a good mood. Otherwise, you might not be able to leave… You’ll end up like him!”
Impudent!” Behind Little Ice, a middle-aged woman emerged. Her face grew somber, and a cold light flickered across the long sword in her hand, pointed at Yang Zhen, “How dare you speak to the Holy Maiden like that!”
Holy Maiden?
Yang Zhen hesitated, looking Little Ice up and down then at Cheap Cat.
As expected, that scoundrel Cheap Cat was looking back at him too, a twinkle in his eyes pondering whether to steal or not.
Boom—!
The middle-aged woman suddenly erupted with an overwhelmingly powerful energy. Her sword whirled, charging towards Yang Zhen. Cheap Cat and Showy Chicken were terrified, darting behind a large tree for cover.
Yang Zhen too was surprised. He hadn’t expected this woman to attack without a word, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Run, kid, this old lady is somewhat of an oddball. Her long sword is a holy weapon!” Cheap Cat poked his head out from behind the tree to yell before he forgot about stealing entirely.
Yang Zhen jumped in surprise and ran instinctively, pulling Cheap Cat and Showy Chicken along with him until they vanished without a trace.
No wonder Yang Zhen, from the Great Missing Sword, felt a feeling of palpitations as soon as the woman made her move. So that long sword was a holy weapon, and it seemed no different than the Sun Shadow and Moon Shadow in Little Lady and Little Cultivation Fool’s hands.
“Damn it, it turned out to be a holy weapon, no wonder she’s so cranky,” Yang Zhen said while running. Seeing that no one was following him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Cheap Cat chuckled maliciously, “Who’d have thought, even you, Yang, you would have times when you run.”
Yang Zhen sneered, nonchalantly saying, “How can the Sao Saint be running? This is clearly a strategic retreat. And besides, you think the Sao Saint would be afraid of that old woman?”
“Then why did you run?” Cheap Cat asked, his face full of disbelief.
Yang Zhen stopped, holding the Great Missing Sword in front of him, “The Great Missing Sword may sound awesome, but it’s still a mundane weapon, maybe rated as a Spiritual Level 9 Star at best. If it fights against a holy weapon, it might get damaged. That’d be a loss. But once Sao Saint upgrades the Great Missing Sword to a holy weapon, then with one cut of my sword, I could kill one.”
Cheap Cat asked with interest, “You’re going to upgrade the Great Missing Sword?”
“Let’s find that Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot first. My soul’s still missing a half.” Yang Zhen complained, “Ever since the Great Missing Sword devoured the Heavenly Tribulation Origin, the Evil Shadow Black Glutton has significantly improved. It should be able to wield a holy weapon.”
With his beady eyes spinning, Cheap Cat said, “Though I haven’t figured out what that Open Heaven is about, just now, I suddenly remembered something.” “What is it?” Seeing the expression on Cheap Cat’s face, Yang Zhen knew this guy was up to no good, so he quickly asked.
The Scoundrel Cat looked around then said, “Suddenly, it occurred to me that the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot, a Heaven and Earth Treasure, thrives best in extremely cold places. It might just be growing inside that ice cave.”
“How can you be so certain?” Yang Zhen asked, his face gleaming with interest, but still a hint of doubt lingered.
The Scoundrel Cat grinned triumphantly, “Just a guess!”
Yang Zhen slapped him in response!
“Just see!” Sao Saint, always keeping a solemn demeanor, said to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked suspiciously at the duo and nodded, “Although it’s a guess, I believe you guys might be onto something. Before they notice, let’s go check it out. I’m starting to agree with you two. Even if the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot is not inside, we might find some treasures of the Ancient Tribe.”
“We could also steal their sacred girl!” The Scoundrel Cat said hungrily.
“Damn it, even though Little Ice is really pretty, you as a cat should stop harboring thoughts about her.” Yang Zhen scoffed when he heard that.
Taken aback by Yang Zhen’s response, the Scoundrel Cat retorted angrily, “I was talking about the statue! Who’s the one constantly thinking about Little Ice? Considering you have Flower Spirit Girl and the Taoist-idiot, yet you are still eyeing other women.”
Yang Zhen, unabashed and boastful, responded, “What do you know? This is the broad love of a man!”
“Your ‘broad love’ really is fucking over the top!” The Scoundrel Cat disdainfully retorted.
‘Tm not wasting words with a single dog, no, a single cat.”
“You’re feeling guilty!”
“Fuck off, I would never, does my innocent face look guilty?”
“I’ll go tell Flower Spirit Girl and the Taoist-idiot!”
“You dare!”
When the Chicken-Cat-Zhen trio returned to the vicinity of the ice cave and looked down from the top of the mountain, they couldn’t see Hua Youyue and others. They exchanged puzzled looks, not knowing what happened when they were away.
“What should we do?” Scoundrel Cat looked at the entrance of the ice cave and asked.
Standing up, Yang Zhen said, “Forget it, the Taoist-idiot and Little Ice both have divine weapons, so unless there’s a powerful practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period, they won’t be in danger. Besides, Mo Xueling, Palace Master Liu, and Peak Master Mo are also experts who won’t easily face danger. Something must have happened, and they just temporarily left this place. We should go and have a look first.”
The trio sneaked up to the ice cave, only to find it empty. They were a bit dumbfounded.
“Nevermind!” With a leap, Yang Zhen rushed towards the ice cave, “Let’s first find the treas… err, let’s find the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot first.”
“Cut the crap, how many times do I have to tell you, it’s the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot!”
“Same thing, don’t stress over the details, hurry up, damn, it’s freezing in here.”
“I think there must be the Creation and … the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot in here!”
As the Chicken-Cat-Zhen trio entered the ice cave, inside, in a huge icy canyon, a group of people was staring in shock at an ancient building which appeared as extraordinary as a miracle.
Hua Youyue looked serious. Looking at the Taoist-idiot beside him, he slowly asked, “Can you feel it?”
Taoist-idiot nodded, “This doesn’t seem to be a building from the Ancients’ sacred land. Judging from their reactions, it seems that they only recently discovered this building ruin.”
“Could it be that the force that runs through heaven and earth erupted when the Ice Palace Cluster appeared?”
The crowd around them was also staring in shock at the gigantic building in front of them. In front of a building that was a thousand feet high, the practitioners seemed as small as ants..
