"What! Say that again!? "
In the Great Wall Library, the woman in white who was sitting cross-legged suddenly floated in the air. She opened her eyes and two rays of white light shot out from her eyes and disappeared in an instant.
Half a year's worth of hard work to learn the secret method of visual attack was wasted in an instant.
However, the woman did not feel sorry at all. Instead, she stared seriously at the disciple in white who came to report.
"Tenth Highness, Fifth Highness Renée betrayed the sect and is now being arrested. The elder asked you to gather at the meeting hall immediately so that we can judge her together." The disciple in white replied coldly without any emotion.
"Sister Renée …?!! Betrayed the sect? Impossible! "The woman in white's face was cold, but her chest was heaving up and down. She did not believe what the disciple said at all.
"This is the elder's order." The disciple in white replied coldly.
"Two years ago, Sister Renée went out and said that she was settling a personal matter. After that, there was no news of her. Now you're telling me that she betrayed the sect?!" The woman in white sneered. "You're lying to me!!"
She suddenly attacked. Her arm extended rapidly and grabbed the disciple's head.
Bam!!
The disciple's head was crushed and turned into countless metal parts.
"I hate it when people lie to me!! Those who lie to me must die!! "
The woman in white was agitated. She slashed her palm down.
With a bang, the disciple's body exploded into countless metal parts that splashed around and slowly melted.
These metal parts were all carved out of ice.
"Your Highness Aloran, this is the elder's order." The remaining half of the head on the ground said slowly.
The woman in white stood up and stomped on the head. Her face became colder and colder.
"I don't believe that Sister Renée would do such a thing!"
She strode out of the room. Her body flickered and disappeared.

Scarlet Snow Main Peak
Main Court Hall
White human-shaped sculptures that were hundreds of meters tall surrounded the entire hall. The ground was paved with ice and was carved with rough and ancient patterns.
Cold wind that was dozens of degrees below zero blew in through the gaps between the sculptures. The sound was like the howling of ghosts.
This was the court, the place where all the criminals of the Chixue Sect were dealt with.
The pure white hall was filled with a faint white light, as if it was a natural illumination.
At this moment, the originally deserted courtroom was already filled with a large number of people, either sitting or standing.
Sitting in the highest position were three white-haired elders with wrinkles all over their faces. The three elders had different body shapes.
The Great Elder was very, very fat. His body was almost five meters wide, and he looked like a mountain of meat sitting on his seat.
The Second Elder seemed to have been sleeping the whole time. His eyes were closed, but it was unknown if he was really sleeping or just faking it.
The Third Elder was a dwarf. He looked like a child, but he had a fierce look on his face. His long white robe was long enough to cover his entire body.
Below the elders was a row of Three Hearted Disciples. Almost all of the Three Hearted Disciples were here. Other than those who were still in closed-door cultivation or had yet to return, the rest were already here.
Standing at the very front was Carthage, the legendary genius of the Chixue Sect.
He looked like an ordinary young man. There was nothing ordinary about him. He did not have the aura of a king, nor did he have the sharp aura of an expert. He seemed to be a very ordinary man in his twenties. Young, calm, and indifferent, he did not seem to be interested in anything. He was neither handsome nor outstanding. Wearing a white robe, if he was not standing at the head of the Three Hearted Disciples, it would be impossible to tell who was who in the crowd.
Behind him was a person wrapped in a white robe. Her face could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely tell that she was a woman.
The third position was empty. Eva had yet to return from her trip. She was still handling some matters in the Outer Star Region.
The fourth position was also empty. The fifth position was Renée.
However, at this moment, Renée's hair was messy and her body was covered in blood. She was kneeling at the bottom of the hall, facing the three elders.
There was no special emotion on her old face. There was only calmness. A large red bird was tied to her body like a rope, restraining all of her Willpower and skills.
"Renée, oh Renée … You've always been calm and sensible. How could you do such a thing!?" The second person in the white robe, the Three Hearted Disciples, said in a low voice. Her voice was clear and pleasant.
"Sister … I broke the rules of the sect by passing on the Secret Frost Seed to an outsider. It's my fault. Renée is willing to accept the punishment." Renée looked at the white-robed person and replied calmly.
The Secret Frost Seed!
As soon as she said this, the Chixue Sect members who had gathered around suddenly exploded.
Renée raised her head and looked around slowly.
Most of them were shocked, some were pitiful, and some were angry. After all, the Secret Frost Seed was the strongest knowledge left behind by the masters of the Frost Hell. Losing one of them was equivalent to losing a unique and powerful knowledge in the entire Chixue Sect.
This was harming everyone's interests.
She saw her good friend arguing in front of the Three Hearted Disciples. She looked at her from time to time with a mixture of anger and worry.
"Whoosh!"
A white figure instantly fell into the ranks of the Three Hearted Disciples. It was Aloran. Her good friend who had been guarding the Great Wall Library all year round actually left the library and stood in front of the Three Hearted Disciples with a cold expression.
Amidst the buzzing noise in the hall, Renée saw Aloran saying something to the Second Elder excitedly. However, her teacher didn't move at all. It was as if he was just sleeping.
All the sounds seemed to be echoing in her head. Renée suddenly felt unusually tired.
She had been searching for half her life. Perhaps this was the retribution she deserved. Everything seemed to be destined … She couldn't resist.
"Hmph! The Secret Frost Seed … It's been so many years. Losing one Secret Frost Seed is equivalent to losing a unique Frost Inheritance in the Chixue Sect. I propose that Renée be sentenced to death! "The Great Elder said coldly. The sound of metal reverberated from his bloated and fat body. It was very strange.
"Sects have rules, families have family laws, and countries have national laws. As a sect, we are stronger than countries. We must have laws! Otherwise, once an exception is made, everyone will have a fluke mentality! Wouldn't the entire sect be in chaos then?! " The Third Elder spoke as well. His voice was as sharp as a child's. There was a hint of coldness and cruelty in it. Just listening to his voice was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
He stood on the Elder's seat and laughed coldly. It was chilling.
"Therefore, I also agree that she be sentenced to death. Not only that, but all the criminals who are related to her must be hunted down and killed! All hidden dangers must be eliminated! Second Elder, what do you think? "
The two's voices instantly suppressed all other sounds in the hall. As if soundproofing, everyone suddenly realized that they couldn't make a sound when they opened their mouths.
In the courtroom, a layer of white light slowly covered the sky above the hall. It formed a circular disc that rotated slowly.
After the Elder spoke, everyone fell silent. Everyone's gaze was focused on the Second Elder. The two Elders had made their stance clear. However, the Second Elder, who was the strongest among the three, was the most important.
"Carthage …" The Second Elder opened his eyes and looked at the number one Three Hearted Disciple. "What do you think?"
Carthage's expression was indifferent. In reality, Renée was one of the generals in his Star card. Naturally, he didn't want her to fall just like that. The Master's intention in asking him was obvious.
The other two Elders focused their gazes and looked at Carthage.
The few Three Hearted Disciples had already faintly divided into two factions. One side was in favor, while the other was against. They were all staring at Carthage.
Everyone also understood that the number one Three Hearted Disciple's strength had entered an unfathomable level ever since he defeated the Blue Frost Sect's Great Senior Sister. At his level, it was only a matter of time before he became an Elder.
"I think that the crime doesn't warrant death," Carthage spoke slowly. His voice was calm.
It was not unexpected.
The First Elder harrumphed fiercely, expressing his dissatisfaction. The Third Elder stared sharply at Carthage. His hands were in his sleeves, making a faint hissing sound.
"But …" Carthage suddenly spoke again. "Revealing the sect's most precious treasure should result in the abolition of her skills. She should be suppressed in the Frost Hell forever and suffer the pain of ten thousand insects eating her heart. "
In an instant, the entire great hall was silent.
Whether it was the three Elders, the Three Hearted Disciples, or the spectating disciples, they were all stunned by Carthage's words.
Ten thousand insects eating one's heart was a punishment worse than death! Only the most heinous criminals in the sect would use such a punishment to torture them.
"Great Senior Brother, you!" Aloran's face revealed a trace of uncontrollable anger. She understood that if Carthage wanted to take control of the sect, he would have to stand on the side of justice and protect everyone's interests. Otherwise, losing everyone's support would not be worth it for him.
But as a companion of the Star card, she could not understand what she was feeling at the moment.
"Sigh … I insist on my opinion," the Second Elder sighed slowly.
As he closed his eyes again, an invisible force field slowly emanated from his body.
"Whoosh …" Like a gentle breeze, with the Second Elder as the center, an enormous and invisible force enveloped the entire great hall, enveloping everyone.
"I object," the First Elder harrumphed coldly. His fan-sized palm slammed hard on the armrest of his chair.
"Boom!"
A similar invisible force field erupted violently, squeezing out a third of the space in the great hall.
"I object as well!" The Third Elder laughed shrilly as well. A third invisible force field emanated from his body. Another part of the great hall's space was squeezed out.
But to everyone's surprise, the combined force of the two of them could barely match the Second Elder's, and they were slightly weaker.
The Second Elder, whose force field was squeezed out, narrowed his eyes. Another force field erupted from his body.
The enormous pressure instantly became as ferocious as a tsunami.
"Whoosh …"
Everyone in the great hall could faintly hear the howling of the cold wind and the fluttering of snowflakes.
The Second Elder's force field alone had reached a stage where it was almost tangible. It was terrifying!
Some of the weaker disciples were already finding it difficult to breathe. Their bodies stiffened, and they hurriedly retreated tens of meters away from the great hall. Only then did they relax.
The stronger disciples, on the other hand, were resisting with all their might. Their faces were pale, and it was obvious that they would not be able to hold on for long.
