Li Xiandao walked over slowly. Under the terrified gazes of the Ice Plains Demon Sect disciples, he looked at the well.
"This is her grave?" Li Xiandao frowned and looked around. This was an extreme ice world. The temperature was really cold and it didn't melt for a long time. When he stepped on it, it was really tough and it felt like he was stepping on an iron plate.
Moon Angel nodded, "Ice Plains Demon Sect's Sect Leader buried her here 50 years ago."
"Where is the corpse?" Li Xiandao looked at the bottomless well and asked.
Moon Angel reached out and sucked. Thick moonlight spewed out and surged into the ice well.
Ka ka ka!
A small and exquisite coffin slowly floated up.
This was an ice coffin. It was transparent and one could see the person lying inside.
A girl!
A really beautiful girl!
Her beauty was like that of a girl next door. She was really pure and clean. Even if she died and laid in the coffin, she would smile like she was really sleeping.
Li Xiandao took out the contract and the signature on it shone. It proved that this woman was the one who signed it.
It was her!
Li Xiandao frowned but he didn't sense any life from this woman at all.
No breathing!
No heartbeat!
No soul activity either!
She was a corpse!
Dong!
The coffin was placed on the ice and a low thud reverberated. As the coffin was made of 1,000-year ice, it was really dense and heavy.
Moon Angel opened the coffin and the girl was exposed to the sunlight.
Her skin was cold and looking closely, one could sense that her body was stiff. Her smile was also a little unnatural.
This was a sign of death.
A sign that she had been frozen for a long time.
Heaven Heart said, "Master, she is dead."
Li Xiandao kept silent and looked on. He even used a thread of sword energy to shoot into her body.
Her meridians were blocked, her dantian was withered, and her consciousness was dried up. All of these were signs of death.
But if she was dead, then why wasn't the Bank of the Universe's contract voided?
After entering Ancient Desolate Land, many of the Bank of the Universe's contracts were voided. They were only voided when they sensed that the host was dead.
There were so many voided contracts but they missed out on this one?
Li Xiandao and Seven communicated, "Did you see it?"
Seven guessed, "This person is dead, but the contract isn't voided. Then, the changes within are very interesting."
Li Xiandao nodded his head. This was interesting. Someone wanted to scheme and cheat the Bank of the Universe?
Li Xiandao asked, "Who is the Ice Plains Demon Sect Sect Leader?"
An Initial Great Saint middle-aged man was brought over and he looked at Li Xiandao in terror.
Especially with the cold Killing God Moon Angel watching from the side, he panicked even more.
After all, Moon Angel had just started a massacre in Ice Plains Demon Sect and established a name for herself.
"I am the Ice Plains Demon Sect's Sect Master," the Sect Master said while trembling.
"Who is this woman to you?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Her name is Qiu Bai and she is an elder of Ice Plains Demon Sect. She is at Dao Saint Realm and is really old. She is at the level of my Ancestor." The Sect Leader replied.
"Then, what was weird about her death 50 years ago?" Li Xiandao stood with his arms behind his back and continued to ask.
"There was nothing weird. Ancestor was old. Although she looked young, we all knew that she was about to die." The Sect Leader replied right away.
Li Xiandao saw that he replied so quickly and said calmly, "You have to think about it. Your every word and action represents the life and death of Ice Plains Demon Sect. Think about it. Before and after she died, did anything worth mentioning?"
Ice Plains Demon Sect's Sect Leader was terrified. He didn't want Ice Plains Demon Sect to be wiped out because of this.
"I thought about something." The Sect Leader thought about it and said emotionally.
Li Xiandao said calmly, "Speak."
"When Ancestor was about to die, she called the few elders of Ice Plains Demon Sect and me over to give instructions for her funeral." The Sect Leader said.
"What funeral?" Li Xiandao asked with interest.
He didn't look at the Sect Leader but at the girl in the coffin.
This girl was called Qiu Bai. She was over 10,000 years old and still looked like a young girl.
Not only did she look like a young girl, but she also gave off the aura of a young girl. When Li Xiandao saw her, he thought that she was a girl next door.
This was a very inconceivable ability.
Because when one reached the end of their lifespan, their bodies would quickly weaken. No matter what they were, they would weaken and they wouldn't be able to maintain their peak looks.
Not to mention the most beautiful rainy season.
"The ancestor told us that after she died, we should use the thousand-year-old ice beneath the Extreme Northern Ice Plains to forge a coffin for her, place her inside, and then dig an ice well, reaching deep into the heart of the ice, allowing her corpse to exist forever, never rotting." Patriarch said.
Li Xiandao frowned. Not rot forever?
"Did your Ancestor care about her beauty?" Li Xiandao asked.
"I couldn't tell usually but we did as she said. After all, she was a Dao Saint expert of Ice Plains Demon Sect. After she died, it was understandable that she wanted to maintain her most beautiful appearance. We followed her instructions and did everything for 50 years." The Sect Leader replied.
"Did anything weird happen during these 50 years?" Li Xiandao asked.
"No, we have been having a good life. If you didn't come, she would have been buried underground." The Sect Leader shook his head.
"Did she leave anything when she died?" Li Xiandao looked at the Sect Leader with a dark gaze.
"No, she was alone when she died. A female disciple helped her change into a new set of clothes. She melted the treasures herself. In her own words, she didn't want anyone to touch the things she used. She found it disgusting." The Sect Leader replied without hesitation.
Li Xiandao realized that his heart didn't waver at all. It was a natural reply and he wasn't lying at all.
"You are saying that your Ancestor Qiu Bai is a clean freak?" Li Xiandao had an idea and asked.
"Yes, which is why she isn't willing to be buried in the ground and isn't willing to be buried like normal. She chose the location herself." The Sect Leader nodded.
"Okay, since that is the case, then we will take this corpse away. Ice Plains Demon Sect is safe and we will treat it as if we never came." Li Xiandao looked at the Sect Leader with a calm gaze without any emotions. The Sect Leader was frightened and nodded his head right away.
"No problem, we are willing to work with you." The Sect Leader decisively gave up on the Ancestor's corpse.
"Moon Angel, bring the coffin and let's leave." Li Xiandao turned around and left.
Heaven Heart followed right away and said softly, "Master, what happened?"
"She died and the contract wasn't destroyed. That means that there is a problem between the two." Li Xiandao said quickly.
"Which one do you think is the problem?" Li Xiandao asked Heaven Heart.
Heaven Heart was stunned. How was he supposed to answer that?
"There is definitely a problem with the person!" Moon Angel said decisively.
"Right, the contract was prepared by Seven, so there shouldn't be a problem." Li Xiandao nodded his head in agreement.
Heaven Heart was enlightened. So that was the way to answer. He gave Moon Angel a thumbs up.
