The moment she saw Lin Yun, Xiao Shuang's entire body trembled as if she had been struck by lightning.
She couldn't believe that the youth in front of her, who was wearing a royal robe and a crown, was the Lin Yun that she had abandoned as trash.
Even though he still had the appearance of a young and immature youth, he always had the aura of a king that looked down on the world. That powerful aura made people want to kneel down and worship him.
Was this really the Lin Yun that she was so familiar with?
How did the former trash, Lin Yun, become the Southern Summer King?
Xiao Shuang could still vaguely remember that half a year ago, Lin Yun was only an outer disciple of the Yuzhou Martial House.
At that time, when she had entered the Ice Palace, she had flaunted in front of Lin Yun and even made an appointment with Lin Yun to fight a year later.
But now, after half a year, Lin Yun had changed and become the supreme king of the Southern Summer Palace.
What was going on?
Seeing Lin Yun appear as a king, Xiao Shuang was completely stunned. She couldn't imagine what Lin Yun had experienced in the past half a year to cause such a huge change in him.
As Xiao Shuang stared at Lin Yun in a daze, Lin Yun happened to turn his head and casually glance at Xiao Shuang. His gaze was deep and cold, as if he was a supreme king looking down on the lowly commoners.
Lin Yun naturally remembered the appointment he made with Xiao Shuang half a year ago. However, Lin Yun couldn't bring himself to be interested in Xiao Shuang at all. He only casually glanced at her and walked in front of the white-haired woman without any superfluous words.
"This King is the Southern Summer King. You must be the Palace Master of the Ice Palace, right?" Lin Yun stood in front of the white-haired woman and asked in his usual indifferent tone.
The moment Lin Yun walked into the palace, he sensed an extremely powerful chill from the white-haired woman.
The white-haired woman's cultivation level had reached the peak of level nine King Wu. She had the highest cultivation level among everyone present, so there was no doubt that she was the Palace Master of Ice Palace.
The white-haired woman nodded and said, "I am Glacial Ice Palace's Palace Master, Bai Hanbing. Southern Summer King, if you have anything to say, please take a seat first."
After Bai Hanbing finished speaking, she gestured for Lin Yun to sit on an ice chair. "My apologies, our Arctic Ice Palace only has ice chairs. I hope the Southern Summer King doesn't mind."
Lin Yun did not mind. Without activating his protective Yuan Qi, he sat down on the ice sculpture chair.
Seeing that Lin Yun did not even activate his protective Essence and just sat down as if nothing had happened, all the Frost Palace members present were somewhat astonished.
Bai Hanbing was also somewhat astonished, but she did not show it. Instead, she said coldly, "I never imagined that the Southern Summer King would actually be such a young and handsome fellow."
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Lin Yun was expressionless as he replied indifferently. However, he was thinking about his true age. He was more than a thousand years older than her.
Bai Hanbing did not like to beat around the bush. She asked Lin Yun directly, "Why exactly did the Southern Summer King come to visit? There is no harm in getting straight to the point."
Lin Yun did not beat around the bush either. He also got straight to the point. "I represent the Eight Great Kingdoms in the southeast region to invite your Arctic Ice Palace to join our alliance and fight against the Assassination Association."
After hearing Lin Yun's words, Bai Hanbing's indifferent face did not show any reaction. After a moment of silence, she asked coldly, "What reason does our Arctic Ice Palace have to join your alliance?"
Lin Yun had already expected Bai Hanbing to ask this question. Thus, he said the excuse he had prepared beforehand. "The reason is very simple. The Assassination Association wants to swallow up the entire southeast region. Perhaps even the entire Thousand Nation Territory.
"If our Eight Great Kingdoms are swallowed up, your Arctic Ice Palace will not be able to escape unscathed. Only if our southeast region's powers unite and work together to fight against the Assassination Association can we avoid being swallowed up by them. "
After hearing Lin Yun's words, Bai Hanbing was completely unmoved. "How are you so sure that the Assassination Association will make a move against my Arctic Ice Palace?
"Your kingdoms are not only vast, but they are also rich in resources. It is only natural that the Assassination Association will swallow you up.
"As for our Arctic Ice Palace, we have been residing in this tiny Frost Mountain for a thousand years. We do not have any resources to seize, so there is no value in swallowing you up.
"If the Assassination Association swallows us up, the only thing they will get is this Frost Mountain that normal people cannot survive in.
"If our Arctic Ice Palace does not get involved, we might be able to escape unscathed. But if we get involved, then we will truly be doomed."
After hearing Bai Hanbing's words, Lin Yun smiled coldly. "You are wrong. Your Arctic Ice Palace has a precious resource that our Eight Great Kingdoms do not have, and it is also what the Assassination Association wants the most."
"What is the resource you speak of?" Bai Hanbing asked coldly. She seemed to understand what Lin Yun was talking about.
As for the other women present, they were all surprised. They really could not think of what precious resource the Assassination Association would want on this cold Frost Mountain that the Assassination Association did not have, and that the Eight Great Kingdoms did not have.
Lin Yun said seriously, "This kind of resource is your own body."
After hearing Lin Yun's words, the hearts of all the women present shook. Only Bai Hanbing did not have any reaction.
Lin Yun continued, "The Assassination Association is a dark assassin organization. The cultivation techniques that their members cultivate lean towards evil. They love to use women with extremely cold bodies as cauldrons.
"The members of your Arctic Ice Palace all have extremely cold bodies. To the members of the Assassination Association, this is a cultivation resource that is more important than anything else. It is also a precious resource that the Eight Great Kingdoms do not have."
After Lin Yun finished speaking, the expressions of all the women present became extremely gloomy.
However, Bai Hanbing did not have any reaction. It was obvious that she had thought of this problem long ago, but she had never faced it directly, nor had she mentioned it to anyone.
After a moment of silence, Bai Hanbing finally said, "Do you think that if we, the Second Rank factions, form an alliance, we can go against a Third Rank faction?"
Hearing this, the Country Guarding Lord interrupted, "If we form an alliance to resist, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if we sit here and wait for death, then there really is no hope at all. "
Bai Hanbing smiled coldly and said, "A Third Rank faction has at least two Martial Arts Grandmasters. However, the alliance formed by our Second Rank Sects cannot even find a single Martial Arts Grandmaster. "
"In the face of the absolute power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, all schemes and numbers are completely meaningless. No matter how large an army is, it is just cannon fodder to exhaust their vitality. "
