"It's our honor to be able to invite Elder Shen to be a guest elder of the Cang Clan." The second elder of the Cang Clan was full of smiles. His face was as bright as a chrysanthemum flower. He turned around and smiled. "It's all thanks to Xuan 'er's discerning eyes. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had this chance."
Indeed.
If Cang Lengxuan hadn't met Shen Changge by chance, he wouldn't have been saved by Shen Changge. In the end, he wouldn't have been able to go against everyone's opinions and invite Shen Changge to be a guest elder of the Cang Clan.
Because of this, the Cang Clan wouldn't have been able to win this battle.
The word 'fate' was truly wonderful beyond words!
"Old thing, our Princess has kindly invited you up for a drink?" The ninth elder of the Snow Clan smiled warmly. He first looked at the second elder of the Cang Clan, then at Shen Changge.
The meaning behind his words was self-evident.
The second elder of the Cang Clan immediately understood. The Princess of the Snow Clan hadn't invited him, nor the two geniuses of the Western Cang Immortal Domain who had yet to mature. She'd invited the guest elders of the Cang Clan.
She'd invited them in passing.
From the looks of it, they'd all benefited from Shen Changge.
If Shen Changge agreed, they might be able to ascend to the top forbidden ground in the Western Immortal Domain — Tingxue House!
"Elder Shen, what do you think?" The second elder pondered for a moment and didn't reply immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked Shen Changge for his opinion.
After all, the Princess of the Snow Clan hadn't invited them, but Shen Changge. He had to ask for his opinion.
Secondly, Shen Changge had shown that she was stronger than him in the battle just now. She'd done a great service to the Cang Clan.
He couldn't make a decision.
"In that case, it's not a bad idea to admire the snow. I heard that it's a great wonder to admire the snow at Tingxue House. I didn't think I'd have the chance today." Shen Changge smiled. He wasn't interested in the Princess of the Snow Clan. As he'd said, he really wanted to admire the snow at Tingxue House.
"Elder Shen is right. Drinking wine and asking the blue sky, watching the wind and enjoying the snow is one of life's greatest joys!" The ninth elder of the Snow Clan smiled and said, "Everyone, please!"
At the same time, a deep and resounding voice came from his mouth and resounded through the sky.
"The gambling match has ended. Everyone, please disperse!"
After that, he led the way while Shen Changge and the others followed behind. Under the envious gazes of countless experts, they ascended the forbidden zone in the Western Immortal Realms.
"Someone from the Cang Clan actually went up to Tingxue Tower!"
"If I'm not mistaken, he must have been invited by the princess of the Snow Clan. Otherwise, an elder of the Snow Clan wouldn't be qualified to invite someone to Snow's Listening Tower!"
"It's not hard to imagine. The Guest Elder of the Cang Clan came out of nowhere and suppressed Wang Jiang, who is ranked on the Celestial Ranking List. I'm sure the Snow Clan will do everything they can to recruit such a person."
On the spectator stands, the experts from the various forces who had yet to leave were discussing animatedly. Their voices spread out in all directions like a tide.
Among them, some were envious, and some were amazed.
They all had different feelings.
In the end, they all left. They came here to witness the gambling match between the two Immortal Realms.
Most importantly, they wanted to see the glory of the eldest prince of the Western King Immortal Realm. They finally saw it, but the outcome was different from what they had expected.
…
In the thirteenth floor of Tingxue Tower.
Shen Changge and the experts of the Cang Clan came to the palace. Only the second elder of the Cang Clan, Cang Lengxuan, and Cang Lengfeng came.
The other disciples of the Cang Clan were arranged to go to other places.
"Princess, the guests of the Cang Clan are here." The ninth elder of the Snow Clan said softly. A pleasant voice came from the palace. "Please come in!"
"Everyone, please come in!" The ninth elder of the Snow Clan raised his hand and gestured for them to enter. Then, Shen Changge and the others stepped in.
"This is the place where the Snow Emperor used to cultivate. As expected of the forbidden zone of the Western Immortal Realms. It's really extraordinary." Cang Lengfeng looked around and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Tingxue Tower itself is an immortal palace." Cang Lengxuan said with a smile. After taking the healing elixir, her face became rosier. Her lips were bright red, and her limpid eyes were flowing with divine radiance. She looked very elegant.
It was said that the Snow Emperor had once refined the Tingxue House into an Immortal Artifact, and it was a renowned Immortal Palace. The Immortal Dao runes that the Snow Emperor had personally carved onto the palace were carved onto it. If it was fully activated, this Immortal Palace alone would be able to kill experts within the Immortal Dao Domain. Its might was extremely terrifying.
"Speaking of which, this is the second time this old man has come to Tingxue Tower." The second elder of the Cang Clan sighed. His eyes were filled with reminiscence. Many years ago, he was also an Immortal Venerable seed of the Cang Clan. Later on, he met the ninth elder of the Snow Clan and was invited to Tingxue Tower.
That was a long time ago.
"That's right!" The ninth elder of the Snow Clan sighed with emotion. "Time is like a blade that cuts down the geniuses. Heroes and beauties have all turned white. Time has blurred our vision, cooled our hot blood, and covered our ambitions. Time is the most ruthless, but also the sharpest. It kills without spilling blood."
Although they lived in the Immortal Dao Domain and lived as long as the heavens and earth, and shone with the sun, moon, and stars, they couldn't resist time.
Time had suddenly passed, and when they looked back, it was already far away.
All those years ago, both of them were once extraordinary and monstrous figures that were renowned throughout the boundless Immortal Domains. They were admired by the Holy Maidens and Princesses of numerous ancient powers, and they could be said to be outstanding geniuses of the younger generation.
Today was different from the past.
At that time, they never thought that they would be stopped by the Immortal Dao Domain. They were men who were determined to become Immortal Venerables.
"There are talents in every generation, and each of them will lead the world for hundreds of years. The current era is the world of the young." The second elder of the Cang Clan said with emotion. Wang Jiang had only risen for a few hundred years. He was an extremely young existence in the Immortal Dao Domain, but he had already reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm. His strength was even above the second elder.
He had suffered a blow.
"It's all in the past. Counting the heroes, it's still up to the present!" Shen Changge came to the window. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his gaze was admiring the scene of snow swirling in the heavens and earth. His heart was filled with lofty sentiments.
Standing here, he could faintly feel the lofty aspirations that had once been born in the heart of the Snow Emperor. He wanted to compete with the heavens.
"Counting the heroes, it's still up to the present!" In an instant, a pleasant voice of praise sounded from within the palace. Everyone turned to look when they heard the voice, and they saw a peerlessly beautiful woman in white leisurely walk over.
The woman before them was like a snow lotus that grew on a heavenly mountain. She admired herself, and she stood aloof from the world. She was cold and noble, and she was like a celestial in a painting that transcended the mortal world.
She was extremely beautiful, and her eyes were filled with spirituality. Her beautiful hair was as bright as a black spring, and it emitted a divine light. Her black hair was tied up with a purple hair band, and her long white dress made her look even more tall and slender. The curves of her body were astonishing.
Shen Changge looked at the woman in white walking over in front of him. She walked barefoot and was untainted by dust. She was like a celestial fairy from the heavens who had descended upon the mortal world.
Her appearance and temperament could be said to be peerless.
Even Shen Changge's eyes were filled with amazement. She was indeed worthy of being a character on the Portrait of Beauty. She was indeed a celestial being and made one forget about the mortal world.
"Xue Qingcheng of the Snow Clan greets everyone." Her posture was rather calm and composed. She simply introduced herself to everyone. It was not difficult to see that this was a woman who was extremely confident and proud.
Her pride was not an act. Instead, it flowed out from her blood and soul. It was as if she was the most respected and noble person in the world.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
When the second elder of the Cang Clan saw this, his expression turned serious. He was not as casual as when he was facing the ninth elder of the Snow Clan. The status of the woman in front of him was extremely noble. She could be said to be one of the noblest people in the Western Immortal Realms. Even he did not dare to show any disrespect.
The princess of the Snow Clan.
The woman in front of him could be ranked at the top of the Immortal Rankings. Her strength was definitely much higher than his. The second elder of the Cang Clan sighed in his heart.
Cang Lengxuan and Cang Lengfeng also cupped their fists and bowed slightly. Their etiquette was very appropriate. With a single glance, one could feel the aura of an ancient clan.
If they were the seeds of the Western Cang Immortal Realms, then the woman in front of them was the seed of the Immortal King Realm of the Snow Clan. In the future, she would be a character who had the potential to enter the Immortal King Realm.
She was truly a legendary character.
"Everyone, please have a seat." Xue Qingcheng's beautiful eyes glimmered. Her voice was extremely cold, but it did not give off a sense of distance. She looked at the ninth elder of the Snow Clan and said, "Ninth elder, please have a seat. There's no need to be so polite."
"Good, good, good." The ninth elder of the Snow Clan replied with a smile. Then he glanced at the crowd and smiled. "Everyone, please have a seat. Since the princess has spoken, please be casual. Just treat it as your own home."
Casual to hell!
Shen Changge scolded in his heart. However, a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then he sat down with the second elder of the Cang Clan.
Then, the crowd chatted casually. The atmosphere was exceptionally relaxed. It was very harmonious, as if they were good friends.
As expected.
Just as the second elder of the Cang Clan had guessed, Xue Qingcheng's most important target in inviting them here was Shen Changge.
As expected, the topic turned to Shen Changge.
"Young Master Shen, are you the successor of the Way of the Sword?" At this moment, Xue Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looked at Shen Changge. She said with some confusion, "After today's battle, I can see that your attainments in the Way of the Sword are extraordinary. Could it be that you are the Holy Son of a Holy Land of the Way of the Sword?"
Her simple words directly hit the heart.
She asked what the ninth elder of the Snow Clan was thinking. She also asked the question that the cultivators of the Cang Clan were wondering about.
In today's battle, the attainments in the way of the sword that Shen Changge had displayed could be said to be breathtaking. That sword strike still appeared in their minds. That kind of Soaring Deity sword light was like an eternal light that was unforgettable.
"Yes and no." Shen Changge replied with a smile. He was not the successor of a Holy Land of the Way of the Sword, but he cultivated the long-lost Origin Sword Technique. Therefore, he could be considered the successor of the Way of the Sword.
Hearing this, the crowd could not help but feel a trace of disappointment. Shen Changge's vague answer clearly showed that he did not want to reveal his identity and origin.
Therefore, Xue Qingcheng did not ask.
Then, the crowd chatted casually. They talked about the people of the Western Immortal Realm and the atmosphere was exceptionally relaxed and pleasant.
Suddenly, outside the pavilion, a disciple of the Snow Clan quickly walked in and whispered something in Xue Qingcheng's ear.
Then, the disciple of the Snow Clan respectfully retreated.
In the palace, the people who were chatting stopped. They looked up at Xue Qingcheng and saw that she was looking at Shen Changge with her beautiful eyes.
"The news just came. Wang Jiang died from serious injuries before he could return to the Wang Clan!"
Her clear and cold voice sounded like a clap of thunder, causing the expressions of everyone in the hall to change slightly.
The ninth elder of the Snow Clan looked deeply at Shen Changge and praised, "Little friend, you killed a genius on the Immortal Ranking with one strike. Soon, your name will be known throughout the Western Immortal Realm."
Unlike the ninth elder of the Snow Clan, Xue Qingcheng's expression was very different.
Hearing this, the second elder of the Cang Clan's expression became serious. His eyes flashed and he said in a low voice, "Wang Jiang has died. The Wang Clan will not let this matter rest. It seems that we have to go back."
Cang Lengxuan and Cang Lengfeng both looked at Shen Changge with strange expressions. Could it be that they had underestimated the power of that sword?
From the beginning to the end, Shen Changge had only used one strike and Wang Jiang had been severely injured. Now, it had led to his death.
That strike could be called the Immortal Slaying Sword.
Facing everyone's gaze, Shen Changge couldn't help but smile helplessly. She said helplessly, "I didn't know he was so weak. I heard that he was a genius on the Immortal Ranking. I only used seventy percent of my strength …"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was dead silence.
Inside the palace, everyone looked strangely at Shen Changge. Was that something a human would say?
Seventy percent of her strength.
He had used seventy percent of his strength to kill a peerless genius who was ranked on the Immortal Rankings.
If you used ten percent of your strength, wouldn't you have killed all the geniuses on the Immortal Ranking?
In addition, at that time, Wang Jiang had yet to be ranked on the Immortal Ranking. In the end, Wang Jiang ascended the Immortal Ranking as he wished. He didn't even have the chance to feel joy and enjoy his glory before he suddenly died.
Maybe, Wang Jiang didn't even know that his name had already ascended the Immortal Ranking.
One couldn't help but say that Wang Jiang was the most pitiful genius of the year.
A moment ago, his name appeared on the Immortal Ranking. In the next moment, he died.
How pitiful was that?
"Princess, Old Ninth! We have to return, so we'll take our leave now! " At this moment, the second elder of the Cang Clan stood up with a heavy expression. Right now, he was truly worried. It was as though there was a divine mountain pressing down on his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe.
Wang Jiang had died.
He was the leading character of the younger generation in the Western King Immortal Realms. He was the eldest young master of the Wang Clan, a potential immortal king in the hearts of the experts of the Wang Clan.
In addition, Wang Jiang didn't disappoint everyone. He had successfully ascended the Immortal Ranking and should have welcomed the most glorious moment in history. But in the blink of an eye, he had fallen.
How could the Wang Clan give up so easily?
"That's fine. I'm sure you will face the difficulties of the Wang Clan. There will be many things you need to deal with. I won't keep you any longer." Xue Qingcheng nodded slightly. Then, she glanced at Shen Changge and said, "If the Wang Clan holds Elder Shen accountable for this matter, Elder Shen can come to Snow Hark City as a guest. The Snow Clan is willing to eliminate all dangerous factors for Elder Shen!"
"Of course, if the Cang Clan needs help, you can also send someone to Snow Hark City to send a message. As a witness, the Snow Clan will definitely not stand by and watch!"
