Some of the scholars sighed softly. Both sides had gone from probing each other to fighting over personal feelings. It was already difficult to end this.
A few scholars looked at Xiao Yutian unhappily because they had eavesdropped on the discussion between the barbarian kings. Those kings and great kings had already determined that Fang Yun was severely injured this time and would not be able to gain anything. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Presumably, Xiao Yutian had also found out about this, and that was why he wanted to punish Fang Yun, causing the situation to escalate to the point where it was impossible to resolve.
The atmosphere in the tent was a bit heavy, but now that things had come to this, it was hard to reverse the situation. They could only make a conclusion after Fang Yun's condition improved. Between Fang Yun and Xiao Yutian, one of them would definitely be punished.
It was already a severe punishment for a Grand Scholar to be whipped on the snowy ground with his back naked.
The meeting continued. Without Fang Xusheng, the Yan family members were especially quiet and did not speak anymore. The rest of the scholars had also noticed this, so as long as the Yan family members had a suggestion, they would agree.
The Yan family had placed all their hopes on Fang Yun, and now it seemed that the Yan family would most likely lose their dominance over the Ten Cold Ancient Land after the Life and Death Battle.
Now, Xiao Yutian was the strongest human in the Ten Cold Ancient Land.
In this meeting, although many people did not directly help Xiao Yutian out of consideration for the Yan family, they made some decisions that were beneficial to Xiao Yutian and the Zongsheng family. For example, they gave Xiao Yutian an extra Ice Melting Fruit.
This fruit was very special. After eating it, one could treat the ice as air and travel freely. However, the stronger the power in the ice, the greater the resistance. It could pass through the walls of the various cold cities, but it could not pass through the walls of the Ice Emperor Palace.
There were layers of ice and mountains everywhere in the Ten Cold Ancient Land. Some ferocious beasts or the Ice Race could even create a small ice mountain to trap people. If one could eat the Ice Melting Fruit before being frozen, one could definitely escape or shatter it.
However, the Ice Melting Fruit was very rare in the wild, and almost all of them grew around the First Cold City. The Ice Race only sold one fruit to the human race every year, and after the Ice Melting Fruit was picked, its effect would weaken over time, and it would lose its effect after five years.
Among the dozens of Ice Melting Fruits that the humankind had, most of them were bought from the Ice Kind at high prices.
Because Fang Yun was Xusheng, and also the number one contender for the Ten Frost Sovereign King title, he had received two Ice Dissolving Fruits. Now, Xiao Yutian had also received the same treatment.
After discussing the basic matters, Yan Ningxiao said, "The Ice Race came here first and occupied the first three positions, so they can go through the three gates first. The main door itself is much larger than the side door, but as you all know, it is very difficult to completely open the two doors of the main door. The space between the two doors is only 20% more than the side door. Even so, it was still a place that every race would fight for. Before he left, Fang Xusheng had said that he would fight his way into the Ice Palace from the main entrance. Since Grand Scholar Xiao also obtained two Ice Dissolving Fruits, what do you think about this competition to enter the Ice Palace? "
The members of the Zong Family were furious. No wonder Yan Ningxiao didn't stop Xiao Yutian from getting the benefits just now.
Xiao Yutian immediately replied righteously, "Fang Xusheng is seriously injured and can no longer participate in this competition to enter the Ice Palace. I have decided to replace Fang Xusheng and compete with the Ice Race for the right to enter first! Even if Bing Tong participates, I will not be afraid! "
"You can rest assured. Bing Tong will not participate in the competition to enter the Ice Palace. His goal is the number one Frost Sovereign, so he will only do his best in the Ice Emperor Palace. However, I am afraid that they will send the Broken Ice Demon King, "Yan Ningxiao said.
Hearing the words "Broken Ice Demon King", all the humans present frowned.
The Ice Race had lived in the Ten Frost Ancient Land for the longest time, and they had mastered many kinds of ice powers. The Broken Ice Demon King was one of the most powerful forces, and the main reason why the Ice Race could control most of the cold cities.
Every year, the Ice Race would select some newborn Ice Race members and place them in special cold air to absorb the cold air. As their demon rank increased and they absorbed more cold air, their bodies would slowly freeze and become extremely hard ice bodies.
Although their bodies of ice were powerful, it was not to the extent that the human race was helpless against them. What made the human race helpless was that every time a Fey King died, their bodies would explode, turning into countless sharp ice blades that would erupt in all directions. It had the power to shatter the heavens and shatter the earth.
If the power of these ice blades was compared to the power of a human scholar, it was equivalent to a scholar sacrificing all of his life in exchange for the Righteous Energy of Heaven and Earth, using the Jade Blood Loyal Heart and all of his power to activate the Sword Burial, and other powers.
The Broken Ice Demon King could commit suicide.
In front of the Broken Ice Demon King, any scholar could only have a slim chance of survival. It was not that the humans were too weak, but the Broken Ice Demon King was using all of his power to launch the final attack, completely exceeding the limit of his demon rank.
Xiao Yutian hesitated, "The Broken Ice Demon King is very difficult to cultivate. Even the First Frost City only has four or five of them. They might not use them to enter the Ice Palace, but to compete for the Ten Frost Sovereign after entering the Ice Emperor Palace."
"Caution is the parent of safety. We must be on guard. However, since Scholar Xiao is confident in defeating the Ice Demon King and leading the humans into the Ice Emperor Palace first, Old Man would like to express our gratitude on behalf of the seven hundred thousand humans, "said Yan Ningxiao.
Xiao Yutian said instead, "I only said that I would do my best. For the sake of the Sovereign King of Frost, I won't fight to the death in the Ice Palace. It would be normal if I failed, and I hope that everyone won't blame me at that time."
"Why is it not normal for Fang Xusheng to fail at the foot of the Ice Palace Mountain?" questioned a scholar.
Xiao Yutian quibbled, "Leaving the camp to go to the Ice Palace Mountain was his sudden suggestion. It was not part of the plan. He is basically ruining the humans' plan and causing incalculable losses to the humans. Strictly speaking, I am helping Fang Yun clean up the mess. No matter what, it is a great achievement! "
"Ridiculous!" The scholar ignored Xiao Yutian.
"From now on, we will only talk about how to compete for the Ten Frost Sovereign. We will not talk about Fang Xusheng!" said Yan Ningxiao.
Everyone continued to talk. Not long after, all the Hanlin students were summoned. After a full day and night of discussion, they finally decided on a plan without Fang Yun.
After the discussion, everyone walked out of the tent one after another. They were not happy at all. Instead, they were filled with pessimism.
This was because a great scholar had estimated that without Fang Yun, the humans had less than ten percent of the chance of competing for the Ten Frost Sovereign.
After another day, everyone from the ten cold cities had arrived. The temperature of the Ten Frost Ancient Land dropped again.
On the sixth day of the second month, the two maids who had been guarding Fang Yun rushed out of the tent excitedly and shouted loudly.
Yan Ningxiao rushed in immediately and found that Fang Yun was awake and lying on the bed with his eyes open.
Fang Yun's eyes were like stars, but his face was still pale.
Yan Ningxiao sensed that Fang Yun's life force was no longer like a candle flame in the wind. Instead, it was like a well-protected oil lamp. He was relieved. Although this life force was still weak, it was not like he could die at any time like before.
"Fang Yun, you are finally awake!" Yan Ningxiao sat beside Fang Yun's bed.
People kept coming in from outside and looked at Fang Yun with joy. There were so many people that they had to prohibit people below the rank of scholar from entering. Even so, the tent was still filled with blue-robed scholars.
