"Elder Xie, Y- you're actually still alive …"
"This is the Soul-hoarding Jade. I understand now. As it turns out, elder Xie being poisoned by the Dao Burial Poison Pill was all part of their plan. They wanted to frame the Tianhe clan so that there would be no witnesses in the end. That way, the Tianhe clan wouldn't be able to clear their name. In reality, elder Xie had hidden his soul in the Soul-hoarding Jade beforehand … "
"As it turns out, elder Xie who died to the Dao Burial Poison Pill was only a portion of his soul. Fortunately, we found Wu Han in time, or the truth would have been sealed away forever … "
"Sigh, I never thought that our Snow sect would encounter something like this. What a misfortune for the sect. A misfortune for the sect …"
.....
Behind them, the many Great Elders of the Snow Sect who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes sighed one after another. Their faces were filled with disappointment.
This was because they understood that even though ancestral master Bingyan was still alive, her actions had been exposed. Without a doubt, she had been sentenced to death.
She was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. In just a single day, the Snow sect had lost a great figure. This was quite a heavy blow to the Snow sect.
As for Ancestor Han He, he could no longer care about his enmity towards the Martial Soul lineage. His soul was heavily injured, so he endured the stabbing pain. He stared at ancestral master Bingyan's soul with Ancestor Xuan Ji. Undisguised sorrow and sorrow filled his face.
"Bingyun, Y- you've disappointed me far too much …" Ancestral Master Bingyan's soul said reluctantly. Her gaze towards the Bingyun Ancestral Master gradually became filled with hatred and resentment.
The Bingyun Ancestral Master did not feel guilty at all. She was magnanimous and righteous. "Since Shui Yunlan has already appeared, her majesty the Snow Goddess will definitely return before long. Bingyan, your actions cannot be tolerated by the Snow sect. I will personally imprison you, and when her majesty the Snow Goddess returns, she will personally execute you. "
With that, Ancestral Master Bingyun formed a seal with her hand. Immediately, a cage of ice silently appeared, instantly sealing up Ancestral Master Bingyan's soul.
As for Yu Yangxie's Primordial Spirit, it was directly destroyed in the illusory Snow Country. The Soul-accumulating Jade that was used to nourish his Primordial Spirit also shattered into pieces of ice.
Ancestral Master Bingyun stowed away Ancestral Master Bingyan's soul before glancing past the great elders of the Snow sect. Her sharp gaze paused on a few of them for a while before she turned her attention to Shui Yunlan in the end.
Under Ancestor Lan's treatment, Shui Yunlan successfully broke free from the Soul-devouring Pill's effects. She completely woke up, and even her wounds gradually recovered after Ancestor Lan fed her a few healing pills.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Shui Yunlan discovered the many experts gathered in the surroundings. However, she was stupefied and her eyes were gloomy, filled with despair and the intent to die.
"Don't even think about finding out His Highness' whereabouts from me." Shui Yunlan smiled bitterly. Determination filled her eyes, and she began to burn her soul without any hesitation.
She knew that with her strength, the peak experts had plenty of ways to make her talk. This was the only way to protect where His Highness was hiding.
"Shui Yunlan, we've come to save you!" Ancestor Lan seemed to be prepared. She gently extended a finger towards Shui Yunlan's forehead, and a gentle power immediately sealed up all of Shui Yunlan's energy, preventing her from committing suicide.
"Shui Yunlan, I am Ancestral Master Bingyun of the Snow sect. What happened before was because Ancestral Master Bingyan of our Snow sect had gone against the law and betrayed the Ice Goddess Hall. Ancestral Master Bingyan's body has been destroyed, and her soul has been sealed up. She will be executed when His Highness the Snow Goddess returns. Our entire Snow sect is willing to go through hell for His Highness the Snow Goddess, so you can completely trust us … "said Ancestral Master Bingyun.
"Shui Yunlan, you were imprisoned in the Snow sect. It was our Tianhe clan, the Martial Soul lineage, and the Rain Abbess who saved you. As a result, you need to understand that our Tianhe clan has never betrayed the Ice Goddess Hall," added Ancestor Lan.
Shui Yunlan was unfazed. She looked at the hazy, illusionary kingdom and said coldly, "This is the Ice Goddess Hall's Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow. Once the technique is unleashed, it'll form a world of its own. Once trapped by the Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow, it'll be impossible for you to escape unless you possess the strength to destroy it. You keep saying that you're willing to go through hell for His Highness the Snow Goddess, but in the end, you've trapped me in this Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow. Isn't that far too laughable? "
"This Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow was specially prepared to prevent information from leaking out when interrogating Wu Han and investigating the truth, as well as prevent certain people from using this opportunity to escape. Now that everything has come to light, there's naturally no need to maintain this Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow," said Ancestral Master Bingyun. She immediately removed the Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow.
Immediately, the world cleared up, and the Snow sect below appeared before everyone's eyes again. However, the Snow sect was in a mess right now.
Although the Unparalleled Kingdom of Snow had been removed, Shui Yunlan's expression did not change at all. Clearly, she did not trust anyone. She said coldly, "Let me leave!"
"No!" As soon as Shui Yunlan said that, Ancestor Lan and Ancestral Master Bingyun immediately objected. Ancestral Master Bingyun said sincerely, "Shui Yunlan, all the experts of the entire Ice Pole province know of your existence now. Who knows how many organisations under the Flame Reverend's control are still lurking in the Ice Pole province. If you leave, you'll be in extremely dangerous situations."
"Shui Yunlan, Ancestral Master Bingyun is right. You definitely can't leave by yourself at a time like this, or once you end up in the Flame Reverend's hands, the safety of her highness will be severely threatened," said Ancestor Lan.
"Fantastic. Shui Yunlan, you've finally returned." At this moment, an old voice rang out. An old man in snow-white robes suddenly appeared outside the Snow sect.
All the experts on the Ice Pole Plane were familiar with this old man because he was the ancestor of the second-ranked organisation on the Ice Pole Plane, the Frigid Wind sect, Qi Feng.
Qi Feng was the strongest ancestor of the Frigid Wind sect. His status in the Frigid Wind sect was equivalent to Ancestral Master Bingyun of the Snow sect and Ancestor Lan of the Tianhe clan. He was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime and was known as the Wind Ancestor.
At this moment, all the ancestors who ranked in the top three on the Ice Pole Plane had gathered outside the Snow sect.
They had all appeared because of a single person, which was Shui Yunlan.
At that moment, Shui Yunlan was like a moon surrounded by stars. She became a dazzling star.
Ancestor Qi Feng began to communicate with Shui Yunlan secretly, "Shui Yunlan, our Frigid Wind sect has always been loyal to the Ice Goddess Hall. In the past, we even took great risks to save Cai Xia, who was on the brink of death, right under the Flame Reverend's nose before secretly bringing her back to the Frigid Wind sect."
"In reality, Cai Xia, who was one of the four great protectors in the past, has always been secretly cultivating in our Frigid Wind sect. She also has some important information about the Ice Goddess Hall on her. She said that she wouldn't tell anyone other than you and Bing Qin. It's just a pity that Bing Qin has already passed away … "
Ancestor Qi Feng sighed. His face was filled with helplessness. He continued, "Shui Yunlan, the Old Man knew you would be suspicious, so Cai Xia specially asked the Old Man to give this jade slip to you. Cai Xia seems to have something extremely important to tell you, so she's in a hurry to see you." With a flick of his finger, a jade slip immediately appeared before Shui Yunlan.
Shui Yunlan hesitated when she saw the jade slip, but she made up her mind in the end and accepted it. In the next moment, Cai Xia's familiar figure and excited and eager voice appeared in Shui Yunlan's head.
"Shui Yunlan, you can't trust either the Snow sect or the Tianhe clan. Only the Frigid Wind sect is trustworthy on the Ice Pole Plane right now. Come to the Frigid Wind sect with senior Qi Feng. I have extremely important information to tell you … "
