Chapter 417: Chapter 423: Some People are Just That Strong! (Fourth Update)
Countless practitioners in mid-air, like shooting stars, were rushing towards this direction, obviously attracted by the terrifying aura erupted from the Ice
Cave.
In fact, ever since the Ice Cave burst into earth-shattering brilliance, people from the various Great Sects had been coming over continuously because the commotion caused by the Ice Cave was really too great.
Upon seeing the newcomers, both Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo’s faces changed and exchanged a glance, revealing a smile that was not really a smile.
Mo Xueling furrowed her brows and said, “Why has he arrived!”
Peak Master Mo glared at Mo Xueling and said, “Linger, do not be rude. Whoever it is, he is still a Sect Master. Don’t let others laugh at our Ink Pool
Peak.”
Hearing this, Mo Xueling pouted and said, “I know, Father, I simply dislike his character!”
Before Mo Xueling finished speaking, a loud laugh sounded. A middle-aged man in the crowd laughed heartily and stepped forward, teasingly saying, “Palace Master Liu, Peak Master Mo, both of you are here, if I knew this earlier,
I, Liang, wouldn’t have to come.’
Palace Master Liu laughed and said, “How could we do this without you, Sect
Master Liang.”
“What do you mean by this Palace Master Liu?” Sect Master Liang smirked and looked at Palace Master Liu.
However, Palace Master Liu didn’t say anything more, he just smiled and looked at Peak Master Mo next to him.
Peak Master Mo chuckled and continued the conversation, “What a pity, it seems Sect Master Liang is late this time.”
Sect Master Liang’s eyebrows twitched, he glanced at the almost stable Ice Cave Ruins behind everyone, his face changed slightly and asked, “The ice cave has disappeared, what about the ice sculpture?
Both Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo’s faces changed. Just when they were about to speak, Sect Master Liang tutted in amazement and shook his head regretfully, “It seems to have been buried underneath, what a waste of a beautiful woman. If I knew this beforehand, I would have tried to bring her back, placing her by my bed to admire every day would have been nice.”
Upon hearing this, Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo looked even more peculiar, they turned their heads to look at the Sha Clan Elder.
Boom —!
A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from the Sha Clan Elder, and he snorted, “Bastard!”
Before his words fell, the Sha Clan Elder’s figure suddenly disappeared from its original position and rushed toward Sect Master Liang. The people of the Sha Clan behind him also quickly changed their expressions, their bodies bursting with killing intent, casting a disapproving gaze at the many disciples behind
Sect Master Liang.
“Huh?” Sect Master Liang was startled. He did not expect the Sha Clan Elder to launch an attack without saying a word, he hurriedly reached out to block. With a bang, a horrifying explosion forced him to retreat several steps.
“What nonsense is this? You old man are really uncivilized, why did you resort to action without a word?”
Looking at Sect Master Liang’s bewildered expression, the Sha Clan Elder snorted coldly. In mid-air, a torrent of murderous energy surged, transforming into a terrifying long knife, slashing towards Sect Master Liang.
-Have you forgotten that our Sha Clan’s Saintess is not someone you can just disrespect?”
“Sha Clan’s Saintess?” Sect Master Liang’s face changed, he said in astonishment, “You are from the Shanggeng Secret Clan?”
“Ancient tribe Sha!” With a roar, the long knife in the Sha Clan Elder’s hand suddenly lengthened and slammed heavily towards Sect Master Liang.
Sect Master Liang started laughing heartily. When did a long sword appear in his hand? The buzzing sound soared against the wind, and countless starlights flickered in the blink of an eye. It drew a violent starlight in mid-air and blocked the long knife before it could strike.
“Sacred Weapon!”
Everyone called out in surprise, no one expected Sect Master Liang to possess a Sacred Weapon.
Boom —!
An earth-shattering bang echoed. Everyone stumbled backwards, Sect Master Liang and the Sha Clan Elder both exclaimed in surprise, looking at each other incredulously.
Everyone was also taken aback, they didn’t expect the Sha Clan Elder to forcibly contend with a Sacred Weapon using just martial arts. After all, the power of a Sacred Weapon in the hands of a practitioner during the Tribulation Crossing Period was incomparable with Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er who were at the
Divine Travel Stage.
Han Yan’er, who was still cultivating on one side, had her hair flying about due to the shockwave. Upon seeing the long sword in Sect Master Liang’s hand when she opened her eyes, a glint of surprise flashed across her eyes briefly.
The two men engaged in battle again. Hua Youyue looked at Mo Xueling. Mo Xueling leaned in and explained in a low voice, “This man is Sect Master Liang Lie of the Separation Star Sect, one of the five major sects of the Northern Island. He is very arrogant, but his power is undeniable. More importantly, he has a Sacred Weapon Star Cloud, he cannot be underestimated.”
Hua Youyue nodded, glanced at Liang Lie, then turned around to once again look at the Ice Cave Ruins as if the Ice Cave Ruins were more important than anything else.
Han Yan’er was even more so. Disturbed from her cultivation, she frowned and stood up, heading towards the Ice Cave Ruins without uttering a word.
Hua Youyue softly asked, “What are you doing?”
Without turning her head, Han Yan’er replied, “Going to find him!”
“Why?”
Hearing Hua Youyue’s question, Han Yan’er was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Hua Youyue to ask why.
Yes, why?
Hua Youyue wasn’t hurrying to find him, so why was she so impatient?
Stars flickered in Han Yan’er’s eyes. She bit her lip and said tersely, “He hasn’t been defeated by me yet. He can’t die!”
Hua Youyue’s eyes revealed a hint of strangeness. She shook her head and said, “He’ll come out soon!”
“How do you know?” Han Yan’er turned sharply, her gaze burning into Hua Youyue.
“Intuition!” Hua Youyue uttered the simple answer and remained silent.
Intuition?
Everyone present fell silent, including the Sha Clan Elder and Liang Lie who both stopped fighting. Neither could best the other. The elder’s face was still filled with anger while Liang Lie’s carefree expression turned solemn.
The atmosphere was tense between the disciples of the Separation Star Sect and the members of the Sha Clan, like fire against water.
Liang Lie approached Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo, curious, “Is there someone still inside?”
Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo exchanged a look, nodded simultaneously. Palace Master Liu sighed, “A young man with outstanding talent. He’s attempting to refine the Void Power in the Ice Palace, so he hasn’t come out yet.”
“What?” Liang Lie was taken aback before bursting into laughter, “Refining Void Power? So the gifted lad in Palace Master Liu’s mouth is a grand saint?” “He’s just a youth who recently underwent the tribulation crossing!” A strange smile crept onto Peak Master Mo’s face, looking at Liang Lie half-jokingly. Palace Master Liu looked at Mo Peak Master, barely holding back a chuckle.
It was quite obvious that Peak Master Mo had done this on purpose.
Palace Master Liu felt a flicker of hesitation, but remembering the fate of those who had crossed with Yang Zhen, he couldn’t help but become a little curious. With Liang Lie’s personality, there would surely be a conflict when he meets Yang Zhen. At this point, it didn’t matter what Peak Master Mo said.
As expected, upon hearing Peak Master Mo’s words, Liang Lie mocked, “When did the two of you become so childish? A youngling who had just succeeded in crossing the tribulation is shamelessly trying to refine the Void Power. Not only are you not finding it ridiculous, but you’re also waiting here?
At these words, Palace Master Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glared at Liang Lie, “Some people are just that strong!”
At this statement, not only was Liang Lie surprised, but even Mo Peak Master was also taken aback, looking at Palace Master Liu with a strange expression. Laughing in disbelief, Liang Lie said, “Then, I’d like to see just how strong this kid is. Oh, me wasting some time here isn’t a big deal. The world is changing drastically, the Secret Clans are emerging, and the flying machine competition is upon us. There will surely be many changes. Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo better hurry up!”
Palace Master Liu and Peak Master Mo were taken aback and simultaneously asked, “The Secret Clan is also participating?”
A strange smile spread across Liang Lie’s face. He was about to speak when the Ice Cave Ruins suddenly emitted a rumbling noise, bursting with violent power, causing intense vibrations.
Everyone’s expression changed as they all turned to look at the Ice Cave Ruins. Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er exchanged a glance, their faces filled with joy. With such commotion, besides Yang Zhen, nobody else came to their minds.
He was out!
