It was a finger that seemed to be burning with fine blue flames. The blue flames flickered like candlelight and looked very weak, as though they would be extinguished by a gust of wind. However, they were extremely tenacious and wouldn't be affected in the slightest even if heaven and earth collapsed.
Under the blue flames, the finger was as sparkling and translucent as a blue crystal.
A casual finger pierced through the empty space while a voice that was filled with anger and murderous intent shot out. This finger might appear simple, but it seemed to have caused the surrounding space to freeze the moment it was pointed out.
It was so fast that everyone's vision, perception, and everything else couldn't keep up. Their perception was distorted and they felt as though time and space had stopped.
However, that wasn't the case yet. Time and space were still flowing and operating. The power required to cause time and space to truly freeze was too great.
Chen Zong only felt that he had been imprisoned by an extremely terrifying power in an instant. He was imprisoned in the void and couldn't move. The omnipresent pressure suppressed his body and even his spirit from all directions. Even his spirit seemed to be imprisoned and his ability to think was reduced to the extreme.
He wanted to dodge but couldn't. His body didn't seem to belong to him.
He wanted to counterattack but couldn't because he couldn't mobilize his own power.
In the next moment, he would be pierced and his body would shatter, his spirit would disperse, and his spirit would be destroyed. He would die.
However, Chen Zong did not show the slightest bit of fear or nervousness. His gaze was calm as he stared at the old woman who had pierced through the air with her finger. This calmness caused the old woman to be secretly surprised, but she did not stop.
This was … a Dao Venerate level attack. Even if she didn't use her full strength, it was still at the level of a Dao Venerate. It was so powerful that it could easily kill a Transcendent powerhouse. Even a 12-star Transcendent powerhouse wouldn't be able to withstand it, let alone a Yuan Underworld powerhouse.
The finger pointed at Chen Zong's forehead mercilessly. She wanted to destroy Chen Zong's spirit.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a god-like figure appeared in front of Chen Zong. It gently waved its right arm forward and a pitch-black blade-light slashed out as though it was tearing through the void.
It was a casual attack, but the moment it collided with the finger, it directly destroyed the blue flames burning on the finger. There seemed to be a sharp sound of metal clashing that spread like ripples under the surface of the void.
The one who had intercepted the finger was Chen Zong's condensed God Demon Heart.
After intercepting the finger, Demon Heart didn't continue to attack. He was very rational. This was the boundary of the Ice Sacred Palace and his battle strength was only at the level of a four-star Dao Venerate. Even if he went all out, he wouldn't be able to increase.
There were quite a few Dao Sovereign level experts in the Ice Phoenix Road. If an intense battle really broke out, it would definitely attract even more Dao Sovereigns.
"Who are you?" The old woman didn't attack again after her finger was destroyed. Instead, she stared at Demon Heart with a cold glint in her eyes. She felt that the figure in front of her didn't seem like a human, but it also seemed like a human. The nature of his power was somewhat strange and unpredictable. She couldn't see through him.
However, she was certain that he was at the level of a Dao Venerate.
Once a Dao Venerate fought, the destruction caused would be very shocking.
"My name is Demon Heart. I am the protector of Heart Heavenly Palace's true disciple, Chen Zong," Demon Heart replied calmly. His words weren't completely true, but there was no need for him to go into such detail.
"Heart Heavenly Palace's true disciple!" The old woman's eyes narrowed and she was secretly shocked.
Heart Heavenly Palace was the number one sacred ground in the void and the strongest force. However, the number of disciples it had couldn't be compared to many other forces because it was too difficult to become a disciple of Heart Heavenly Palace.
As such, Heart Heavenly Palace placed more importance on their true disciples than other sacred grounds.
The fact that Chen Zong had a Dao Venerate as his protector meant that his status in Heart Heavenly Palace wasn't low. In fact, it was very high. The more attention he received from Heart Heavenly Palace, the more important he was.
If she had really killed Chen Zong, Heart Heavenly Palace wouldn't have let the matter rest. It wouldn't be a good thing for the Ice Phoenix Path, and even worse for her.
The two didn't hide their conversation, so the other disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path heard it and were all shocked.
A true disciple of Heart Heavenly Palace!
Heart Heavenly Palace was the number one sacred ground in the void and was much stronger than Sacred Ice Palace. However, the number of true disciples they had was even fewer than many starfield level forces. This made each of their true disciples seem more outstanding.
It was also due to the fact that Heart Heavenly Palace's true disciples were few and far between.
Who would've thought that a true disciple of Heart Heavenly Palace would show up and display such incredible strength and defeat their eldest senior sister Hong Feng in a single blow?
To the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Path, this was undoubtedly a very shocking event.
"It's him!" Bai Songdie's eyes flashed with an obscure cold light that carried traces of hatred.
The events of the Ancient Hadean Ruins were still fresh in her mind. In her eyes, it was a humiliation.
"What business does a true disciple of Heart Heavenly Palace have in our Ice Phoenix Path?" Though the old woman was surprised, she didn't lose her composure. Instead, her expression was cold and harsh, making it clear that she didn't welcome him and kept him at arm's length.
After all, the disciple she was so proud of was severely injured. As a protective master, she couldn't bring herself to be happy.
"Reporting to Red Crane Dao Venerate, this person is here for junior sister Yu Nianxin." Bai Songdie was the first to speak. "This person has an unusual relationship with junior sister Yu Nianxin."
Bai Songdie emphasized the words "unusual," as if she was trying to imply something.
"Senior sister Yu Nianxin and I entered the same sect a long time ago." Chen Zong said unhurriedly. Chen Zong more or less understood some of the rules of the Ice Sacred Palace. In order to avoid making things difficult for Yu Nianxin, Chen Zong gave such an explanation. This was the truth.
"Yes, I don't think it's as simple as being fellow disciples." Bai Songdie's voice became sharper and sharper, as if she wanted to put Yu Nianxin in a desperate situation.
"Yu Nianxin, is what he said true?" Red Crane Dao Venerate immediately looked at Yu Nianxin. His gaze was oppressive as he questioned her coldly.
"Reporting to Red Crane Dao Venerate, Chen Zong and I were indeed from the same sect in the past." Though Yu Nianxin was somewhat oppressed, she didn't back down nor was she afraid. In fact, there was even a hint of determination. "Now, Chen Zong is my Dao companion."
"Impudent!" Red Crane Dao Venerate, who seemed to have angered the heavens, flew into a rage. A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and an incomparably terrifying and sharp shrill soared into the sky. It was as if it wanted to tear the sky apart and tear everything apart.
"How dare you." Hong Feng had already stood up. When her master, Red Crane Dao Venerate, arrived, a stream of pure energy surged into her body, suppressing the rampaging Sword Qi in her body and then shattering it. Now, Hong Feng, who had taken a pill, had recovered a little. Cooperating with her master's rage, she said with a stern expression, "The rules of the Ice Sacred Palace are very strict. There are clear rules that state that Ice Phoenix Dao disciples can only choose a Dao companion from within the Ice Dragon Dao. They can't choose an outsider. You're just a direct disciple, how dare you violate the rules of the palace."
With one sentence, she directly pushed Yu Nianxin to the point of violating the palace rules, as if she was going to commit treason.
For a moment, everyone's gazes seemed to become strange, as if they were filled with blame. Yu Nianxin's face turned pale.
"Men, capture Yu Nianxin and imprison him in the Ice Prison for a hundred years as a warning to others." Red Crane Dao Venerate immediately gave the order, his tone extremely cold and harsh.
"Imprison him in the Ice Prison for a hundred years!" In an instant, the expressions of all the Ice Phoenix Dao disciples changed drastically.
The Ice Prison was a place within the Ice Sacred Palace used to punish those who violated the palace rules. It was like a prison, but it was even more terrifying than an ordinary prison.
In the Ice Prison, one's cultivation strength would be suppressed and they would be ravaged by the bitter cold at every moment. They could still hold on for a short period of time, but after a long time, they would feel extremely uncomfortable. They would wither away and live a life worse than death. In the end, they would even be unable to hold on and commit suicide.
In short, if they were imprisoned in the Ice Prison for a hundred years, they would basically be crippled.
Yu Nianxin's face grew paler.
"Wait." A cold voice, as sharp as a sword's edge, pierced through the sky like a ray of icy sword light and arrived in an instant. The shocking icy sword intent made everyone feel as if they had been frozen and pierced through.
Especially the disciples who were about to capture Yu Nianxin. Their bodies turned cold as if an ice sword was suspended in the air. It seemed that if they continued to move, the sword suspended above their heads would fall and pierce through them, killing them on the spot.
Red Crane Dao Venerate's expression changed when he heard the two words. He was inwardly furious, but he did not do anything else.
A deep blue sword light arrived, and a figure appeared within the sword light. The sword light was filled with endless icy intent, but it was as insufferably arrogant as the brilliance of the sun.
This person was wearing ice-blue battle armor that fit her body. That battle armor appeared to have been transformed from a blue phoenix, causing her tall and slender figure to appear extremely beautiful. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, and her face was covered with frost. Her eyebrows were like the edge of a sword, while her eyes revealed an incomparably sharp iciness. A single glance seemed to be able to pierce through one's heart.
She seemed to be very young, but at the same time, she did not seem young.
"Yu Nianxin only recognized him as a candidate for a Taoist companion, but they are not Taoist companions yet. She did not violate the rules of the Palace." The voice of the woman with the phoenix crown and phoenix armor was filled with endless sharpness and coldness.
The disciples, including Senior Sister Red Phoenix, did not dare to refute her.
"If there are signs, it means there is a possibility." Red Crane Dao Venerate stared at her. "What do you think, Dao Venerate Lan Ning?"
"If there is, then there is. If there is, then there is." Dao Venerate Lan Ning's gaze was extremely sharp, like a sword light that pierced through the air. She stared at Red Crane Dao Venerate as if she wanted to pierce through him. Then, she looked at Yu Nianxin. "Nianxin, tell her, is there a possibility?"
"Reporting to Dao Venerate Lan Ning, there is no possibility yet," Yu Nianxin said, and then silently added in her heart, "But I only recognize him."
"Disperse." Dao Venerate Lan Ning's gaze swept over the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Sect and left one after another.
