Rumor had it that a few years ago.
The Flying Crane Gang on the Flying Crane Ridge had brutally murdered a farmer who was planting a spirit field in order to seize a valuable crystal.
A few days later, a woman came down from the sky.
No one knew who she was.
It was said that the woman was dressed in white and was as cold as ice. She held a white jade sword in her hand. When she wielded her sword, snowflakes swirled in the air and frost condensed. The Flying Crane Ridge was immediately frozen into an iceberg.
When the woman left, the iceberg exploded and more than a thousand people from the Flying Crane Sect were annihilated. The entire Flying Crane Ridge was turned into a pile of ruins.
One sword. Just one sword.
No one knew the woman's identity.
The Flying Crane Ridge was not only a big sect in the Gilded Land but also belonged to the Southern Duel Sect.
The Southern Duel Sect was furious when they learned of this and immediately issued a warrant for the mysterious woman.
Some people said that on the day the Southern Duel Sect issued the warrant, the mysterious woman broke into the Southern Duel Sect alone.
As for what happened in the Southern Duel Sect, no one knew because the next day, the Southern Duel Sect opened the Great Protective Array and closed the sect. Until now, the seal had not been lifted.
This matter spread like wildfire back then. After a few years, it was known that the mysterious woman's surname was Leng and her name was Yanqiu.
As for who Leng Yanqiu was, no one knew.
How could Huo De and Shui De not be shocked when they heard Cang Song say that the new Sect Master of the Ice Mystic Sect was Leng Yanqiu?
"This Succession Ceremony is the most important event of our Ice Mystic Sect after a hundred years. I hope everyone can attend on time."
After saying that, Purple Cloud got up and was about to leave. Cang Song took out a red invitation and handed it over.
"Wait."
Huo De suddenly shouted.
Purple Cloud, who had walked to the door, turned around and looked at him indifferently.
"Our Yunxia School has had no contact with your Ice Mystic Sect. I don't think we need to attend your Succession Ceremony."
Huo De still had a belly full of anger when he and his fellow disciples were beaten up by the Mysterious Ice Sect back then. Furthermore, the Mysterious Ice Sect personally came to humiliate them. Huo De naturally wouldn't forget about it. He sneered, "What's the matter? You want us to participate in your Mysterious Ice Sect's succession ceremony? Are you trying to humiliate our Yunxia School in public again?"
Ziyun's expression was cold as he said, "Our Mysterious Ice Sect is no longer the Mysterious Ice Sect of the past, and your Yunxia School is no longer the Yunxia School of the past."
Her words were ambiguous.
But no matter if it was Huo De or Rende, both of them understood the underlying meaning of this sentence. It was nothing more than saying that the current Yunxia School couldn't be compared to the Mysterious Ice Sect. In other words, there was nothing about the Yunxia School that was worthy of being humiliated by the Mysterious Ice Sect.
Regarding this, although Huo De and Rende gnashed their teeth in hatred, they couldn't refute it.
"Allowing your Yunxia School to participate is the intention of the Ancestors."
The Ancestors of the Mysterious Ice Sect were all old fellows who had lived for more than a thousand years. They were one generation older than the Three Elders Of Yunxia.
"I've already passed the message to you. As for whether you want to participate or not, it's up to you. But … I hope you will seriously consider it. This might be the only chance for your Yunxia School."
After saying this, Ziyun took a deep look at Gu Qingfeng. Seeing that he was still sitting on the chair and drinking leisurely, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't think much about it and turned to leave.
"Chance? What chance? Make it clear before you leave. "
By the time Huo De asked, Ziyun had already left with his people.
"Huo De, oh Huo De, don't tell me you can't even understand what I'm saying?" Cang Song teased, "The Ancestors of our Mysterious Ice Sect are thinking about old friendships. For the sake of the Ancestors of our two sects, they can't bear to see your school being annexed by the Jiuhua Alliance. So …"
After a pause, Cang Song sneered, "So, it's best if you don't know what's good for you."
After saying this, Cang Song laughed and left.
"You're a traitor who lives off a woman!"
Huo De had a bad temper. He pointed at Cang Song and cursed. However, the more he cursed, the more Cang Song laughed.
"Junior Brother, forget it." Rende walked over and tried to persuade him, "Let's discuss whether we should participate or not."
"What's there to discuss? What's there to discuss? Have you forgotten how the Mysterious Ice Sect humiliated us back then?" At the mention of the past, Huo De couldn't help but want to curse. He said angrily, "None of those old fools from the Mysterious Ice Sect are good people. They look down on us and even said that they want to help us. What nonsense! I think they're most likely going to use this opportunity to humiliate us again! "
"Our Yunxia School really doesn't have anything worthy of being humiliated by them …" Rende shook his head and sighed, "If I'm not wrong, the Mysterious Ice Sect probably wants to use this opportunity to completely break the agreement between the Ancestors of our two sects."
"So be it. Our Yunxia School doesn't count on them."
"After all, this matter has dragged on for hundreds of years … It's time to end it. Just as Ziyun said, the Yunxia School today is no longer the Yunxia School of the past. The Mysterious Ice Sect is no longer the Mysterious Ice Sect of the past. The gap between us and the Mysterious Ice Sect is too big. In the past, they didn't break the agreement because they were worried that it would affect the reputation of the Mysterious Ice Sect. After all, this was an agreement made by the Ancestors of our two sects. Now that we're in a special period, I think the Mysterious Ice Sect won't care about this …"
As he spoke, Rende sighed again and said, "Since that's the case, let's go."
"Senior Brother, we swore that we would never step into the Mysterious Ice Sect again. Have you forgotten?"
"But … but someone has to go."
"We won't go. What can they do?" Huo De raised a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He said angrily, "They want to slap our faces, but we still have to stretch out our hands and let them slap us. I've already suffered this kind of vexation once. I definitely won't suffer it a second time."
"This …"
For a moment, Rende didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a voice was heard.
"Why don't you let me go?"
Hmm?
The voice came from Gu Qingfeng. Huo De stood up, curled his lips, and choked. He said, "Ancestor, you don't have to join in on this kind of thing."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the extremely beautiful invitation that was glowing with brilliant lights and took a sip of wine. He said with a smile, "You don't say. I'm quite interested in this kind of thing."
Interested?
What a joke.
Others might not understand, but Huo De clearly knew that Gu Qingfeng was not a person who liked crowds. If you asked him to quietly go to the villa to listen to music, it would be fine. But if you asked him to participate in some troublesome ceremony, he would definitely not be interested. Moreover, it was a ceremony that had nothing to do with him. How could he be interested?
Could it be that he was fighting for justice for Yunxia School?
This was even more ridiculous.
Huo De knew what kind of person Gu Qingfeng was. Even if this kid agreed to help, he would only help himself.
Helping himself and helping Yunxia School were two different concepts.
For his sake, maybe he would stand up for Yunxia School.
However, whether he would stand up for Yunxia School depended on the situation.
For example, if the Jiuhua Alliance attacked, Huo De was sure that this kid would definitely stand up for Yunxia School.
As for the Xuan Ice Sect, unless they attacked, Gu Qingfeng wouldn't be bothered with them. Why would he attend the ceremony? If he had that little time, he would rather bask in the sun more than attend some troublesome ceremony.
"Little Guy Gu, you don't have to …"
Huo De was about to say something, but Gu Qingfeng stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's settled."
"Why?"
"It has nothing to do with Yunxia School. It's my own private matter."
Yes, just as Huo De thought, Gu Qingfeng was indeed very free. However, he wasn't so free as to attend some troublesome ceremony. The reason why he wanted to go was because he wanted to understand the Xuan Ice Sect's Xuan Ice Heart, which was related to the Heart of the Flaming Sun.
