Qin Yang's group arrived at Ice City earlier than Gai Yan's group.
"Qin Yang, hurry up and leave. Gai Yan's group will be here soon!"
Ye Shouxin said.
Ice City was closer. Judging from the route, Qin Yang's group was heading in this direction.
Gai Yan's group must have guessed where they were going.
"Elder Ye, this is the territory of the Ice Palace."
Ye Shouxin smiled bitterly. "But the Lord of Ice City is only Level 5. Gai Yan is Level 6."
Qin Yang smiled. "Elder Ye, that's easy."
Qin Yang found a remote corner and released the body of Gai Peng, Gai Yan's son.
"Ah!"
In less than five minutes, Gai Yan's body was discovered by others.
There were many people in Ice City who liked to watch a show. Soon, many people gathered.
"Hey … isn't that the guy from the Skyfire Gate? Yes, he's the Hall Master of the Skyfire Gate, Gai Yan, a mid-level Level 5 expert. His father is the Deputy Master of the Skyfire Gate!"
"Hiss, how did he die here?!"
Someone recognized Gai Peng's identity. Suddenly, many people around were shocked.
Many onlookers hurriedly left.
Gai Peng's status was very high. They might die miserably if they watched him die.
The Lord of Ice City was a woman. She was from the Ice Palace. This was a matter of great importance. Soon, she got the news and rushed over.
"Send a carrier pigeon!"
"Pass down my order. The whole city is on alert!"
Huangfu Jin, the Lord of Ice City, said quickly. She looked grave. Gai Peng's body was found here. The Skyfire Gate would probably send experts over. Gai Peng's father, Gai Yan, might even come in person!
The whole Ice City entered a state of alert. The city gate was temporarily locked. All the soldiers on vacation were in position. All the experts in closed-door training ended their closed-door training.
The carrier pigeon flew to the Ice Palace.
The Ice Palace was not far from Ice City. The carrier pigeon could reach there in half an hour.
Once they got the news, the top experts of the Ice Palace would come immediately. It would take less than an hour!
In less than twenty minutes, Gai Yan and the others arrived near Ice City and saw the closed city gate from afar.
"Sir, something is wrong. The gate of Ice City is closed at this time!"
One of Gai Yan's subordinates said.
Chu Mo said calmly: "This means that Ye Shouxin and the others are definitely here. If my guess is correct, they should have released Gai Peng's corpse, this way the profound Ice City will immediately be alerted."
"It won't be long before the experts from the Palace of Ice arrive."
"Pretty smart!"
Gai Yan frowned. The city gates were tightly shut. If they wanted to enter the Ice City, they had to cross the city walls. There were no Realm Elves among them. If they were to cross the city walls one by one in broad daylight, the guards would not be blind!
Besides, even if they sneaked in, Ice City wasn't small. They wouldn't be able to find Qin Yang and the others in a short time. By then, more experts from the Ice Palace would have arrived. They might even die here!
"Chu Mo, do you have any ideas?"
Gai Yan said in a deep voice.
Chu Mo said: "Sir, if Ye Shouxin and the others really release Gai Peng's corpse, then we have to be careful. Gai Peng died on the Ice City's side. Let them hand over the murderer!"
"Now, we can enter openly. This way, they won't dare to target us!"
"We can offer excellent conditions. As long as the Palace of Ice hands over the murderer, we can reap huge benefits. This way, Qin Yang and the others will have to consider whether they will be betrayed if they want to join the Palace of Ice!"
Another of Gai Yan's men said: "Sir, if you ask me, we should enter and directly capture the people from the Palace of Ice and leave. If the Palace of Ice gives them to us, we will let them go. Otherwise, we will kill the hostages!"
Chu Mo said: "This is also a method. But at present, our Skyfire Sect is not ready to go to war with the Palace of Ice. The Palace of Ice is not much weaker than us. This method has to be used carefully."
Gai Yan's eyes flashed.
After thinking for a while, Gai Yan said in a deep voice: "Enter the Ice City openly. If the other experts ask, just say that we received a distress signal from Gai Peng. He encountered a powerful enemy on the Ice City's side!"
"Yes!"
Chu Mo and the others nodded.
Gai Yan released a few cars from his space ring. They rode the cars and quickly approached the Ice City's city gate.
There were still many people who were stopped outside the city gate.
"Guards of the Ice City, listen up. I am Gai Yan, the vice leader of the Skyfire Sect. I received my son's signal that he encountered a powerful enemy on the Ice City's side. Quickly open the city gate and let us in!"
Gai Yan walked out of the car. His loud voice spread far and wide.
The expression of one of the guards on the city gate tower changed. He had a Level 4 cultivation base and was quite strong. But his strength was nothing in front of an expert like Gai Yan. Gai Yan could kill him in an instant.
"Quickly open the city gate. If anything happens to the Third Master, you will not be spared!"
"Quickly open the city gate!"
Gai Yan's men shouted one by one.
The guard on the city gate tower had a gloomy expression. He had received news that Gai Peng had died in the Ice City. Gai Yan and the others actually came at this time. Could it be that the Skyfire Sect was deliberately looking for a reason to start a war?
"Vice Leader Gai, the City Lord has ordered the city gate to be temporarily sealed!"
"In addition, your son has been killed. The City Lord should be leading people to search for the murderer. Please wait a moment!"
The guard popped his head out and said.
"What did you say?"
Gai Yan was furious. "Immediately open the city gate. My son died in the Ice City. The Ice City is blocking us outside. There is no reason for this!"
Outside the city gate, many people were discussing.
The Skyfire Sect was not very popular, but they felt that Gai Yan's words were not wrong.
Their son was dead, and they were in the right to request to enter.
"Open the city gate!"
The guard gritted his teeth and said.
A raging Gai Yan was not someone that could be stopped by a simple city gate. Let alone a Level 6 expert, even a Level 5 expert could easily climb over the city wall and enter the Ice City. Destroying the city gate would also be a piece of cake!
Soon, the city gate was opened.
Gai Yan and the others entered the city. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the place where Qin Yang had dumped the body.
"Vice Leader Gai, my condolences!"
Huangfu Jin said calmly. She was at the peak of Level 5, much weaker than Gai Yan. However, Huangfu Jin was not worried that Gai Yan would kill her openly. She was not only a member of the Ice Palace, but also the City Lord!
The City Lord's identity was an official identity.
If Gai Yan killed her openly, the laws of the Silvermoon Kingdom would not let him off. The Skyfire Sect would not be able to protect him!
Gai Yan ignored Huangfu Jin. He stared at Gai Peng's body, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.
Originally, Gai Yan and the others wanted to say that Ye Shouxin's aura was left on the body when they saw it. They wanted to pressure Huangfu Jin and the others to hand over Ye Shouxin. Now, Gai Yan and the others realized that they could not do so.
The body had been disposed of!
There was no wound on the head, but the rest of the body seemed to have been soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid and was severely corroded.
Under such circumstances, there was no aura left on the body.
They could not tell anything from the wounds.
"City Lord Huangfu, Gai Peng is my son. At the same time, he was also the Hall Master of the Skyfire Sect. He died in your Ice City. Your Ice City has to give us an explanation!"
"Also, I'm offering a reward of five hundred million spirit coins. Whoever can hand over my son's murderer will get the reward!"
Gai Yan gritted his teeth.
There were many people around. When they heard Gai Yan's words, they were shocked.
Five hundred million spirit coins was a huge sum of money!
Ten thousand spirit coins was enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for a few years!
Huangfu Jin frowned and said, "Vice Sect Leader Gai, Gai Peng is a mid-stage Level 5 expert. He is very powerful. There are no traces of battle here. This should be a place to dispose of the body. It's very likely that he did not die in our Ice City."
"Of course, our Ice City will definitely investigate!"
Someone beside Gai Yan said, "We also want to investigate!"
Huangfu Jin decisively refused, "That's impossible! Gai Peng's body is here. No one knows if this is a conspiracy of the Skyfire Sect. If you investigate here, the people of Ice City will panic! "
Ice City was under the influence of the Ice Palace. Huangfu Jin was also a member of the Ice Palace. If she let Gai Yan and the others investigate here, her position as the City Lord would be over.
Gai Yan said coldly, "City Lord Huangfu, you should be careful with your words!"
"Gai Peng is my son!"
"I will stay here. I will give you three days. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!"
Huangfu Jin said calmly, "Vice Sect Leader Gai, our Ice City will do our best to investigate. However, I can't guarantee that we will be able to find out the truth. Your Skyfire Sect has offended many experts. It's not easy to investigate!"
Gai Yan transmitted his voice to Huangfu Jin, "City Lord Huangfu, you better find out the truth. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your family's safety!"
Huangfu Jin's eyes flickered coldly.
Gai Yan and the others left. However, they did not go far. They found a nearby inn and stayed there.
"Lord, should we send a message back to the sect and inform them that Qin Yang is a Realm Elf?"
Chu Mo asked.
If they sent the message back, more experts from the Skyfire Sect would come.
Gai Yan's eyes flickered with murderous intent, "No, we should secretly spread the news that Qin Yang is a Realm Elf. Also, spread the news that it was Qin Yang and Ye Shouxin who killed my son."
"Do it secretly. Don't let others know that we are the ones who spread the news!"
Chu Mo nodded.
Gai Yan was giving up on monopolizing the benefits. If the news of Qin Yang being a Realm Elf spread, it would definitely attract the attention of many experts!
