Tantai Yue came to her senses. Her face was extremely pale. It was useless to quibble now.
"Palace Master, First Elder, please spare my life."
"I won't do it again. I won't do it again."
Tantai Yue kept kowtowing.
Chu Xuan looked at Tang Shuang. "First Elder, how should Tantai Yue be punished according to the sect's rules?"
Tang Shuang said in a deep voice, "Betrayal of the sect is extremely serious. According to the sect's rules, she should be sentenced to death. If there is a family behind her or other beneficiaries, the sect will pursue the responsibility of the family or other beneficiaries!"
The death penalty wasn't an ordinary death. It would be a miserable death!
The capital punishment of the Ice God Palace was considered mild compared to other forces. It wasn't mincemeat or dismemberment, but it definitely wasn't pleasant. The victim's cultivation base would be sealed, and they would be banished into an ice cave.
They would freeze to death in there!
Beheading and poisoned wine would kill them quickly. The Ice God Palace's death penalty would take at least a day because the cultivator's body was stronger. The process was extremely cold and unbearable!
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Tantai Yue, on account of our past relationship, if you sincerely apologize to Mister Qin and reflect on your mistake in front of everyone, I can bestow you with a cup of poisoned wine!"
"If you don't agree, you will be sentenced to death by ice!"
Tantai Yue smiled bitterly. "You want me to apologize to Qin Yang? Dream on! You want me to be sentenced to death by ice? You are dreaming! "
Having said that, Tantai Yue instantly drew her sword and slit her neck!
"Heh!"
Qin Yang sneered. The moment Tantai Yue drew her sword, he activated his domain. His domain froze Tantai Yue and snatched the longsword from her hand. The domain's power even entered her body and sealed her strength!
Chu Xuan looked deeply at Tantai Yue. "Tantai Yue, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"
"Inform the rest of the sect that Tantai Yue will be sent to the ice cave in 15 minutes and be sentenced to death by ice!"
Tang Shuang nodded.
In fact, Chu Xuan was violating the sect's rules by giving Tantai Yue a chance. Since Tantai Yue didn't appreciate it, it was fine!
Soon, Tang Shuang sent out the notice. A large number of experts from the sect gathered at the Ice Square.
Chu Xuan and Tang Shuang brought Tantai Yue to the Ice and Snow Plaza.
"Everyone, it has been verified that Tantai Yue colluded with outsiders to leak the sect's top secret, placing the entire Palace of Ice in an extremely dangerous situation. According to the sect's rules, I have decided to execute Tantai Yue with ice!"
"As for the rest of you, please take this as a warning!"
Chu Xuan said solemnly.
On the square, a large number of people from the Ice Palace were shocked. It was really Tantai Yue!
Tantai Yue said with hatred, "Chu Xuan, Tang Shuang, I hate you! I've been in the Ice Palace for so many years, and I'm already at Rank 4. I should be the Saintess of the Ice Palace in the future. Why would you support a little girl like Ye Xing 'er to become the Saintess?! "
"I refuse to accept this!"
"So what if you kill me? Chu Xuan, the news of you being poisoned has already spread, and it's a poison that's very difficult to detoxify. I'm just leaving first. Won't you all still die then?"
"Maybe you've been captured by the enemy and died a worse death than me. Hahahaha!"
Many experts originally had some doubts about whether the evidence was real and valid, and whether Chu Xuan and the others had been deceived by Qin Yang and the others.
Hearing Tantai Yue's words and seeing her expression, the doubts in their hearts immediately disappeared.
Second Elder Xi Hongyue said with hatred, "Tantai Yue, you've really brought a lot of trouble to the sect!"
"The Ice Palace raised you, and the Palace Master even made you a Saintess in training, treating you like her own daughter. How could you do this!"
Tantai Yue said angrily, "They're good to me, so why can't they always be good to me! Originally, the Saintess was very likely to be mine, but now it's going to be given to someone else. They're not that good to me at all! "
"If that's the case, why can't I be better to myself!"
"If I kill Ye Xing 'er and the others, I'll still have a high chance of becoming the Saintess. Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles. I'm just a little unlucky!"
"Everyone, I advise you to think of your own way out. The Ice Palace is probably going to fall!"
Chu Xuan was so angry that her body trembled. She never expected Tantai Yue to be such a person.
Fortunately, she didn't become the Palace Master of the Ice Palace.
Tang Shuang looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Palace Master, it's rare for so many people to gather together today. Why don't we announce some good news!"
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Alright!"
As she spoke, Chu Xuan looked at Liu Man.
"Everyone, I didn't plan to announce it at first. I wanted to give the other forces a surprise! Since the Great Elder has said so, I might as well announce the good news today. Elder Liu's cultivation has broken through to Level Six. This is great news for Elder Liu, and also great news for our Ice Palace. "
"From today onwards, our Shrine of Ice will have three level-6 powerhouses!"
As Chu Xuan spoke, the aura of a Level 6 expert erupted from Liu Man's body. Everyone could clearly feel it!
"Congratulations, Elder Liu!"
"Congratulations, Elder Liu!"
Immediately, a large number of experts from the Ice Palace shouted loudly.
Chu Xuan was poisoned and Tantai Yue was executed here. Originally, many experts from the Ice Palace felt hesitant. Now that Liu Man's cultivation had broken through to Level 6, it gave them a boost of confidence.
Chu Xuan still had the strength of a late Level 6 expert. Now that Liu Man had broken through, the Ice Palace was stronger than before!
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
"How could this be?"
Tantai Yue's face was extremely ugly. Others could live well, but she would die. This was unacceptable!
Chu Xuan raised her hand and everyone quieted down.
"Everyone, since the original Law Enforcement Elder died, our Ice Palace has been lacking Law Enforcement Elders for a long time. Now that Elder Liu has reached Level 6, I announce that Elder Liu Man will be the Law Enforcement Elder from today onwards!"
Chu Xuan said loudly.
The Law Enforcement Elder's position in the Ice Palace was relatively high. Among the elders, it was second only to the First Elder and even higher than the Second Elder.
The requirements were also relatively high.
In the past, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Ice Palace was a Level 6 expert.
"Greetings, Law Enforcement Elder!"
Xi Hongyue saluted with a complicated expression. She had always wanted to break through to Level 6 and become a Law Enforcement Elder.
Liu Man had beaten her to it.
"Greetings, Law Enforcement Elder!"
The others saluted one after another. After becoming a Law Enforcement Elder, Liu Man's power in the Ice Palace would increase by a lot!
"Everyone, no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Palace Master, for your trust."
Liu Man said.
Chu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Elder Liu, the first thing you will do after becoming a Law Enforcement Elder is to execute Tantai Yue with ice. After that, you will conduct a comprehensive investigation of the entire Ice Palace!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
Liu Man nodded.
Not long after, Tantai Yue was sent into the ice cave of the Ice Palace. Her cultivation was sealed. With her Level 4 cultivation, she would probably freeze to death in about two days. This process would be very "enjoyable."
…
The Ice Palace didn't seal the mountain gate, nor did they strictly forbid the news of Liu Man's breakthrough to be leaked. It didn't take long for the news to spread to the outside world.
"Liu Man actually broke through to Level 6!"
"Doesn't that mean the Ice Palace has three Level 6 experts?"
"I think it's very likely that Liu Man has already broken through to Level 6 cultivation. She just kept it a secret before!"
"Fortunately, we didn't act rashly before!"
Many experts from various factions discussed animatedly. Some experts rejoiced.
Liu Man's cultivation base at the peak of Lv 5 and Lv 6 brought a different level of pressure to the other powerhouses.
Perfect Level 5 was likely to be stuck at this level for the rest of her life.
At Level 6 cultivation, there was a possibility of breaking through to mid-level Level 6, or even late-level Level 6!
Even if a faction destroyed the Ice Palace, they might not be able to kill all the Level 6 experts of the Ice Palace. As long as one escaped, it would be a huge problem. If they grew stronger in the future, it would be even more troublesome!
The Ice Palace had three Level 6 experts. At a time like this, one of them could even leave the sect and hide.
As long as something happened to the Ice Palace, this hidden Level 6 expert could take revenge in the future!
"Damn it, Liu Man has also reached the sixth rank!"
When the news reached the Skyfire Gate, Gai Yan, Fan Yuanqing, and the rest didn't look good. This wasn't good news for the Skyfire Gate.
The Ice Palace had a grudge against the Skyfire Gate.
The Skyfire Gate only had three Level 6 experts. With Liu Man's breakthrough, they were on par with the Skyfire Gate in terms of Level 6 experts!
Originally, Fan Yuanqing and the rest thought that if they sent some experts to attack the Ice Palace, Chu Xuan would take action and worsen her situation, causing her cultivation to drop.
But now, this plan was ruined!
The Ice Palace currently had three Level 6 experts. They originally planned to cooperate with them, but now they definitely wouldn't.
The Ice Palace had the geographical advantage. Even if they sent all their experts, they might not be able to gain an advantage!
"Vice Sect Master Gai, guard the sect well. I'm going to the capital."
Fan Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
Gai Yan was a little puzzled. Why would Fan Yuanqing go to the capital at this time?
But Fan Yuanqing was the Sect Master. Since he said so, Gai Yan could only nod and agree.
