Hello, everyone!
First of all: we've reached the TOP 11! Seriously, this is insane. We're just one step away from the Top 10, literally one last push. So if you can, please drop your Power Stones, leave comments, favorite the story, and help spread the word. And yes, a promise is a promise, if we hit the Top 10, there will be extra chapters over the weekend. No tricks, no delays. You support it, I deliver....
Now, about this chapter itself.
This one marks the beginning of the final arc of the Profund Sky Continent. Yes, this is the start of the end of this phase. It is technically an adapted version of the original material, with some modifications, pacing adjustments, and different narrative choices. Before anyone worries: this only applies to this initial part. Out of the next twenty chapters that I've already written, this is the only one in this format, used mainly to properly align context, atmosphere, and the direction of the arc.
(A small spoiler for those who follow closely: on Patreon… the day has finally come. The return to the Illusory Demon Realm happens at last. And yes, Ren Zu will deal with Yun Che definitively. No more obsessions. From that point on, the focus shifts.)
If you enjoy the chapter, perfect.
If you'd rather skip it, that's fine too, it exists more as a setup and adjustment of the stage than as pure plot progression.
Taking advantage of this space, I'd like to ask an important question. As many of you already know, Ren Zu will have parallel stories set in other worlds, in an "What if" format. These stories do not interfere with this main timeline and are not part of its canon. The idea is simple: the same protagonist, different worlds, different choices, while he repeatedly fails as he tries to comprehend the Law of Time (Reincarnation).
There has been some discussion about which worlds would be ideal for this, and Douluo Dalu came up strongly in the suggestions — especially with Ren Zu taking on the role of a villain, always standing in opposition to the protagonists. I personally liked the idea a lot, but I want to hear from you.
Leave your suggestions, opinions, and the worlds you think would be interesting.
This story grows much more when you participate.

Profound Sky Continent, North of Blue Wind Nation.
"This place is the Extreme Ice Snow Region?" A middle-aged man dressed in green, who appeared to be around fifty years old, spoke as he looked at the endless glacial world before him. "The scenery isn't too bad."
"This should be your first time setting foot in Blue Wind Nation, correct?" The purple-robed elder said placidly as he stopped beside the green-robed man.
"Hmph!" The green-robed man snorted coldly and irritably, his eyes gleaming with arrogance and deep contempt. "If it weren't for the Young Master's instructions, why would I even deign to step into this modest space? However, with such scenery to admire, coming here wasn't a complete waste of time after all."
This was a group of twenty people, led by the green-robed man and the purple-robed elder. They were dressed in tight-fitting clothes of a single color, and no features or symbols could be seen on their attire.
But what was truly shocking was that all twenty of them emitted a profound aura that was undoubtedly incomparably terrifying. Especially the green-robed man and the purple-robed man—their bodies clearly emitted the aura of the Tyrant Profound Realm… and it was an aura approaching the mid-stage of the Tyrant Profound Realm. Even the weakest among their followers emitted the aura of an eighth-level Throne!
The strongest person in Blue Wind Nation, Ling Tianni, was a sixth-level Throne, yet any one of these twenty people surpassed him! Any one of them had the qualification to rival the entire Blue Wind Nation. These two supreme lords were terrifying existences like gods in Blue Wind Nation; they could easily blot out the sky of Blue Wind Nation's profound cultivation world with one hand.
"If you want to admire the scenery, you'll have more than enough time after we complete our mission." The purple-robed elder said in a mild voice. "Frozen Cloud Asgard is nestled within this glacial region. Once we've found that girl named Xia Qingyue, we can return to give our report to the Young Master."
The green-robed man looked ahead, and the direction he gazed happened to be where Frozen Cloud Asgard was located. This endless snowy region showed few signs of human life, but given the spiritual perception of a Tyrant Profound Realm practitioner, locking directly onto Frozen Cloud Asgard's location in this spacious and empty place was definitely not a difficult task. He smiled gleefully as he said, "I heard that Frozen Cloud Asgard is one of the four great powers of Blue Wind Nation and is only inferior to Divine Sword Villa. But it seems the strongest individuals are only in the Emperor Profound Realm, and there aren't even more than two or three of those Thrones combined. A lower realm is, in the end, just a lower realm. I simply can't understand why the Young Master would want us to attend to such a trivial matter."
"Stop complaining." The purple-robed man said solemnly. "The Young Master clearly stated that this girl, Xia Qingyue, is extremely important to him. If it weren't for the fact that the bottleneck of his demonic art suddenly loosened and required him to enter seclusion, the Young Master was even prepared to take action personally. So it should be clear just how important this matter is to the Young Master!"
"Moreover, this mission is far less difficult than you seem to believe!" The purple-robed man's expression grew grave. "The Young Master said that Xia Qingyue is twenty-two years old, yet her appearance is only that of sixteen or seventeen, and she is hailed as the number one beauty in all of Blue Wind. Moreover, we have no other clues. Frozen Cloud Asgard has two to three thousand disciples, and they are all reportedly beauties. If they insist on not pointing out who Xia Qingyue is, it definitely won't be easy to differentiate all of them."
"Furthermore, the Young Master strongly emphasized that we must bring Xia Qingyue back alive, and it would be best if we didn't harm even a single hair on her head! If Xia Qingyue dies, then our heads will also roll when we return! So before we determine who Xia Qingyue is… we cannot be too aggressive toward any of the disciples, and all our actions must be taken with the utmost care."
"Hahahaha!" The green-robed man laughed loudly. "When a wild tiger hunts a wolf, there's still an element of risk. But when a wild tiger rampages among lambs, could there still be a possibility of us suffering a setback? We can't lay our hands on any young disciples, so we'll start with those who are older and slowly kill the Sect Leader and all the Elders, forcing Xia Qingyue to surrender—it's as simple as that. And if that doesn't work, we'll just wipe them all out and bring them all back. Three thousand beauties—the Young Master will definitely be delighted when he sees them."
"Anyway, I also heard that the army of the Divine Phoenix Empire is less than five hundred thousand kilometers from Blue Wind Imperial City, so in a matter of months, this Blue Wind Nation will be completely finished. Heh, there must be something wrong with the Divine Phoenix Empire's head for them to burn with such anxiety that they would actually mobilize their entire army in a bid to quickly conquer this resource-lacking lower realm. And they even signed a non-aggression pact with the other five nations. Could it be that because they were humiliated by Blue Wind Nation during the Seven Nations Ranking Tournament, they fell into a frenzy of rage?"
"These are not matters that require our attention." The purple-robed elder waved his hand across his face, and his face was immediately covered with a dense layer of white mist. "Frozen Cloud Asgard is two hundred and fifty kilometers away—we can begin our operation. I'll repeat it again: do your best not to expose your identities; these are the Young Master's orders."
"Yes!" All the followers sounded out at the same time, and they also waved their hands across their faces, using profound energy to conceal their appearances.
The green-robed man performed the same actions and said with disdain, "I hope that this Frozen Cloud Asgard can bring us some surprises—perhaps they'll even sacrifice some precious treasure and wrinkle my clothes a bit… if not, it'll simply be too boring."
Before he even finished speaking, all twenty had taken to the air and advanced toward Frozen Cloud Asgard, quickly disappearing into the endless sea of snow.

Ping!!!
A deafening, shattering sound rang sharply through the air, almost piercing the entirety of Divine Sword Villa. All the Divine Sword disciples who were practicing their sword techniques, and even some Elders, involuntarily covered their ears. As they desperately suppressed an uncomfortable sensation that seemed to infiltrate their souls, they also looked toward the origin of that sound with expressions of astonishment.
Divine Sword Ancestral Hall, the most sacred place in Divine Sword Villa, located at its core. Following the sound of urgent footsteps, the great doors of the Ancestral Hall were pushed open, and Ling Yuefeng entered. With one glance, he saw Ling Tianni, who had clearly been in seclusion, standing beside the jade platform on the right side of the Ancestral Hall.
"Yuefeng, you've come." Ling Tianni did not turn around; instead, he remained there silently, staring at the jade platform in front of him.
"Father, what happened?" Ling Yuefeng asked as he quickly advanced in long strides. That peculiar resounding noise was definitely not a common occurrence, and the origin of that sound was this place. When he saw that his father, who had been in seclusion for over a year, had actually appeared here, he knew that this matter was even more complex than he had initially anticipated.
As his voice fell, his gaze also landed on the jade platform that Ling Tianni was staring at… From his memory, there had always been a clear ice-blue jade pearl about a foot long placed atop that jade platform. This ice pearl emitted no aura whatsoever, and its only distinctive aspect was its emission of a faint ice-blue light when night arrived.
He had learned from Ling Tianni that the name of this jade pearl was the "Glacial Song Jewel," and it was an item gifted to the founder of Divine Sword Villa when their sect had just been established a thousand years ago by the founder of Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mu Bingyun. As for what it was used for, Ling Tianni had never told him, and he had never given it any importance.
But at this moment, that "Glacial Song Jewel" was no longer there, and what replaced it was a pile of disordered ice-crystal-shaped fragments on the jade platform.
"The recent noise… was because this 'Glacial Song Jewel' shattered?" Ling Yuefeng asked. If a jade pearl had merely broken, although it was something left by their ancestor, it wouldn't be a very significant matter. However, Ling Tianni did not hesitate to forcibly exit his secluded cultivation to come here. Moreover, the grave expression on his face told Ling Yuefeng that this matter was definitely not simple.
"Ah." Ling Tianni sighed deeply and said, "Something has happened to Frozen Cloud Asgard… a great calamity sufficient to destroy their entire sect."
"What?" Ling Yuefeng's eyebrows jumped fiercely.
Ling Tianni responded slowly, "This 'Glacial Song Jewel' was an item gifted to our founding father by the ancestor of Frozen Cloud Asgard, Mu Bingyun. But it held no meaning as a gift. Back then, when Mu Bingyun of Frozen Cloud Asgard gifted this to our founder, she said this: 'In a thousand years, Frozen Cloud Asgard will be plunged into a great crisis. The moment this 'Glacial Song Jewel' shatters is the moment the crisis descends upon Frozen Cloud Asgard…'"
"So, this is to say that… the Frozen Cloud Ancestor hoped that when that day arrived, our Divine Sword Villa would extend a hand to help?" Ling Yuefeng asked.
Ling Tianni nodded his head and replied, "That's right. This 'Glacial Song Jewel' is connected to Frozen Cloud Asgard's final forbidden protective formation, the 'Snow Goddess Veil.' The 'Snow Goddess Veil' is something that the Frozen Cloud Ancestor established herself back then, and it is a forbidden protective formation that will only open when Frozen Cloud Asgard is pushed into a truly desperate situation. Once this 'Glacial Song Jewel' shatters, it will emit a high-pitched hum. This means that the 'Snow Goddess Veil' has already been activated. For the next seven days, Frozen Cloud Asgard will be under the protection of this 'Snow Goddess Veil.' Back then, Frozen Cloud Asgard hoped that Divine Sword Villa would be able to assist them within seven days when the hour of their destruction arrived."
"Seven days…" Ling Yuefeng had a rather complicated expression on his face. "To be able to plunge Frozen Cloud Asgard into such a disaster, the other party must be immensely strong, or they might even be individuals at the Sovereign level. The Frozen Cloud Ancestor and our Divine Sword Ancestor were high-level Thrones in their time, so the profound protective formation she established could be, at most, of Emperor Profound strength. If they are truly fighting against enemies of Sovereign caliber, the formation shouldn't last even a single blow, let alone seven days… So, even if we extend our hand to help, it would be days before we reach Frozen Cloud Asgard… it's impossible for us to arrive in time, correct? Moreover, the current situation in Blue Wind Nation…"
"No…" Without waiting for Ling Yuefeng to finish, Ling Tianni interrupted him and said, "If your words were true, why would I still be so hesitant?"
Ling Tianni quieted down, and only after a long time did he turn around and face Ling Yuefeng. "Yuefeng, I originally planned to only tell you these matters regarding Frozen Cloud Asgard when I approached my final years. But the day of Frozen Cloud Asgard's calamity has arrived, and this involves a request made by the Frozen Cloud Ancestor… As the Villa Master of Divine Sword Villa, the decision on our next course of action rests with you. So, I need to tell you about all these matters right now."
"… Does Frozen Cloud Asgard… still hide a secret that has been concealed from the rest of the world?" Ling Yuefeng asked solemnly as he observed Ling Tianni's grave expression.
"The secret does not lie with Frozen Cloud Asgard itself, but with its founder… Mu Bingyun." Ling Tianni said slowly. "For the next seven days, Frozen Cloud Asgard will definitely be safe from all harm, because once the 'Snow Goddess Veil' has been activated, no one in this world will be able to break it. Even if it's the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, Supreme Ocean Palace, Sun Moon Divine Hall, and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Even if all these four Great Sacred Grounds united their forces, there is no possibility that they could break it."
"What?" Ling Yuefeng was greatly shocked. "This… How is this possible? Even if the Holy Emperor, the Sovereign of the Seas, the Heavenly Monarch, and the Sword Master acted in unison and used all their power, it would still be impossible for them to raise such a formidable profound formation… How could a high-level Throne like the Frozen Cloud Ancestor have such ability… Could it be power borrowed from some kind of incomparably strong artifact?"
Ling Tianni shook his head once more and raised his head slightly. His expression was unexpectedly one of complete subconscious admiration. "Wrong… the power of the Frozen Cloud Ancestor, Mu Bingyun, was far beyond what you or anyone in this world knows."
Ling Yuefeng, "…"
"A thousand years ago, before our Divine Sword Villa was established, Frozen Cloud Asgard already existed. But when our Divine Sword Ancestor traversed Blue Wind, he challenged all the experts within Blue Wind and lost not a single bout. After that, he came to know of Frozen Cloud Asgard's existence and went to challenge the Frozen Cloud Master, Mu Bingyun… Our ancestor thought it would be a fight without suspense, yet he lost to her… All those back then who heard of that duel knew that our ancestor lost only after a long struggle with Mu Bingyun, but the true story that our ancestor left for us was that Mu Bingyun defeated him in one move."
"This…" Before such a shock, Ling Yuefeng's pupils contracted uncontrollably for an instant.
"The Extreme Ice Snow Region was not always called by that name, because in the past, it rarely rained or snowed there. It was just a vast and bitterly cold land, filled with shrubs that stretched as far as the eye could see. However, a thousand years ago, a great blizzard descended upon the region for seven days and seven nights, and since then, it has been locked in snow and ice. And after that, Frozen Cloud Asgard appeared… What our ancestor left behind was this: The blizzard that lasted for seven days and seven nights was caused by Mu Bingyun."
Ling Yuefeng, "!!!!"
"The true strength of Frozen Cloud Asgard's Ancestor, Mu Bingyun, was immeasurable. From the description left by our ancestor, Mu Bingyun's strength was at an incomprehensible level. Our ancestor swore to the Frozen Cloud Ancestor, Mu Bingyun, that he would keep all this a secret and never divulge it to anyone else. Because the Frozen Cloud Ancestor established Frozen Cloud Asgard with the intention of taking in some unfortunate girls who had no place to go, she was unwilling to let the world perceive their existence."
"…" Ling Yuefeng fell into a stupor. Divine Sword Villa was the most powerful force that dominated Blue Wind. A thousand years ago, the ancestor who established Divine Sword Villa dominated everything under the heavens with his sword and was without rival; he was publicly known as the strongest in Blue Wind. It was only the direct heirs of the Villa who knew of his defeat to Frozen Cloud's Ancestor Mu Bingyun all those years ago… and it was said to them to have been a narrow defeat.
But no one would have imagined that Frozen Cloud Asgard's Ancestor Mu Bingyun was actually such a terrifying existence.
Defeating the Divine Sword Ancestor in a single move… If she had the ambition, how then could Divine Sword Villa have dominated Blue Wind for the last thousand years?
"Where did that Frozen Cloud Ancestor come from? Could she… also be like our ancestor and come from one of the Four Great Sacred Grounds?" Ling Yuefeng asked with a face full of astonishment. This kind of strength could only come from the Four Great Sacred Grounds.
"No." Ling Tianni shook his head once more. "No one knows where her origins lie, not even our ancestor knew. It wasn't just her origins that no one knew, but also the profound art she used back then… The Frozen End Divine Art is incomparably strong, yet no one has heard of it. Putting aside our ancestor, even to this day and even among the Four Great Sacred Grounds, not a single person knows where the Frozen End Divine Art truly originated from."
"Our Divine Sword Villa's 'Divine Sword Might Art' comes from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, but our ancestor declared that the Frozen Cloud Ancestor's 'Frozen End Divine Art' was far superior to our 'Divine Sword Might Art' and that it was by no means inferior to the core profound arts cultivated by those of the Four Great Sacred Grounds. For a profound art to reach that level, it would require at least a thousand years or even more than ten thousand years of foundation and continuous tradition. But Mu Bingyun's 'Frozen End Divine Art' seemed to have descended from the heavens. Even if you searched the thousands of years of previous history, you wouldn't be able to find a single trace of it."
"And because the level of the 'Frozen End Divine Art' was too high, although the disciples that Mu Bingyun accepted all had excellent innate talent, not a single one of them could learn it. So, Mu Bingyun created the 'Frozen Cloud Arts'… and although the 'Frozen Cloud Arts' were weaker than the 'Frozen End Divine Art,' within Blue Wind and even throughout the entire Profound Sky Continent, it would definitely be considered a profound art of the highest quality. However, Mu Bingyun used only seven days in its creation."
"…" Ling Yuefeng remained quiet for a long time, but following that, he continued in a mystified voice, "If the Frozen Cloud Ancestor was truly that strong and even approached the level of an Elder from a Sacred Ground, then why was her lifespan so short? If she had reached that level, shouldn't she have a lifespan of several thousand years?"
Ling Tianni closed his eyes and replied, "That is something no one knows. What was passed down within Frozen Cloud Asgard is that their Ancestor had died in their Frozen End Divine Hall. When our ancestor, who knew Mu Bingyun's true power, went personally to Frozen Cloud Asgard to verify this matter, he discovered that Mu Bingyun had dispersed into an ice mist that covered the entire Frozen End Divine Hall, after which it disappeared. No body was left behind, and what remained were only a few words."
"Because he never saw the body, our ancestor always suspected that Mu Bingyun never died… However, she left the 'Glacial Song Jewel' with him, which indicated that she would no longer be able to protect Frozen Cloud Asgard from then on, suggesting the possibility that she might no longer be in this world… So, even up to the point of his death, our ancestor could not completely conclude whether Mu Bingyun was alive or dead."
"But a thousand years have passed, and there have been no more traces of Mu Bingyun left in this world, so she must have indeed passed away. The reason she passed on this 'Glacial Song Jewel' probably means that she also sensed her life was coming to an end. If not, given her ability, why would she request assistance from our Divine Sword Villa out of her own volition?"
"After the Frozen Cloud Ancestor passed away, the reason for Frozen Cloud Asgard's existence also continued to change. When the Frozen Cloud Ancestor established Frozen Cloud Asgard, she accepted only some girls who had suffered bitter hardships and were in hopeless situations. But even after Frozen Cloud Asgard lost Mu Bingyun, the strength of the Frozen Cloud Arts still made its reputation prosper. The new disciples accepted gradually were no longer taken in solely on the basis of being in bitter and desperate situations. The qualifications also grew more and more stringent, where in the end, aptitude and appearance became the most important factors…"
"A change like that is also reasonable." Ling Yuefeng said. "Frozen Cloud Asgard consists exclusively of women, so it's easy for them to be oppressed, humiliated, and coveted. So what they needed to do was increase their overall strength. Only then could they protect everyone within Asgard."
"You're right." Ling Tianni said slowly. "Incessant change is what made the current Frozen Cloud Asgard no longer resemble the Frozen Cloud Asgard that our ancestor knew a thousand years ago. But before our ancestor left the world, he requested that this 'Glacial Song Jewel' be preserved in this ancestral hall until the day it shattered. This showed that our ancestor considered the promise he made as extremely important and demonstrated his determination to uphold it."
"And now, when Blue Wind is reaching its end, it turns out that a catastrophe of this magnitude falls upon Frozen Cloud Asgard. If we continue to close our gates and ignore worldly affairs or uphold the promise made by our ancestor and extend a hand to Frozen Cloud Asgard… The first option is to ensure the safety of our thousand-year foundation, but in turn, we will lose our honor and righteousness. The second option is to defend our honor and righteousness, but we may possibly bring calamity upon our heads…"
"Yuefeng, as the Villa Master of Divine Sword Villa, what we do next is entirely up to your decision."
"Honor and righteousness?" Ling Yuefeng gave a self-mocking laugh. "Today, in the eyes of every citizen of Blue Wind Nation, our Divine Sword Villa doesn't even have a shred of honor and righteousness to speak of. Especially the Blue Wind Imperial Family… They already hate us to the bone and see us as enemies… so what justice and honor do we have left to speak of?"
'Your disloyalty caused my contempt, your greed and disregard caused my wrath; this Empress will always remember this! If by chance Blue Wind sees its ruin and your chances rest in Divine Sword's hands, there will be no reconciliation—only hatred and enmity will remain forever!'
This was the letter personally written by Empress Cang Yue after the Blue Wind Imperial Family had requested help nine times and had their pleas ignored nine times. It was a silk letter that was thrown at the gates of Divine Sword Mountain.
Princess Cang Yue had attended the previous two Blue Wind Ranking Tournaments, so she had personally visited Divine Sword Villa twice. The impression she gave others was that she was gentle as water, soft as the wind… But now, the words she had personally written were filled with hatred and determination.
It was clear that the emotion she felt toward them after being repeatedly ignored nine times was no longer disappointment, but rather revulsion.
Divine Sword Villa Master Ling Yuefeng had withstood countless storms in his life, but when he personally held that piece of silk, his face turned red while his heart was filled with bitter agony… Divine Sword Villa and the Blue Wind Imperial Family had a shared oath established by their ancestors. If one of them faced a great calamity, the other would give their all to help. Now that the Blue Wind Imperial Family was facing the crisis of extermination, between preserving the Villa's safety or preserving the Villa's honor, he chose to preserve the Villa's safety.
Because Divine Sword Villa had the protection of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, as long as they did not interfere with the current state of affairs, the Divine Phoenix Empire would definitely not provoke them. But if Divine Sword Villa interfered… although they could cover the entire sky with one hand in Blue Wind Nation, how would they amount to anything in the face of the mighty Divine Phoenix Empire?
However, selfishness was selfishness. No matter the reason, this was a trait that could not be covered up.
So, when Ling Tianni mentioned "honor and righteousness," Ling Yuefeng's heart was filled with deep agony.
"Then, your decision… is to pretend you don't know about this?" Ling Tianni said in a completely calm voice without looking at him.
"To be able to push Frozen Cloud Asgard into such a desperate situation, the other party must have immeasurable strength. Even if our Divine Sword Villa mobilized completely, it's extremely likely that we'd be unable to help in this situation. Also, we'd be subject to many losses and attract the wrath and hatred of the other party." Ling Yuefeng closed his eyes, and a figure that was more dreamlike and ethereal than a fairy flashed quickly in his mind. "It took a thousand years for Divine Sword Villa to reach this point. Now, as the Villa Master, I consider the safety of our sect as more important than everything else… Not helping the Blue Wind Imperial Family is already a violation of our ancestor's instructions and our own honor. Since it has already come to this, what's one more violation? I believe that our ancestor in the heavens would certainly approve of our actions. After all, the current Divine Sword Villa is no longer what it was in the beginning—a small faction with only hundreds of disciples. As the Villa Master now, how can I, for the sake of others, risk the lives of tens of thousands of people in our Villa?"
"…Ah." Ling Tianni did not agree or shake his head and merely let out a long, drawn-out sigh.
"I approve of my husband's decision."
The great doors of the ancestral hall were pushed open, and Xuanyuan Yufeng walked leisurely inside. She made a small curtsy to Ling Tianni and said, "Father, Husband, I just received a sound transmission from fifty thousand kilometers away from Elder Ling Kun, advising that if we receive any sound transmission from Frozen Cloud Asgard requesting help… we must definitely ignore them."
Ling Tianni tilted his head, while Ling Yuefeng said with furrowed brows, "Does Elder Ling Kun know which person is attacking Frozen Cloud Asgard?"
Xuanyuan Yufeng extended her right arm and made a small, subtle gesture with her hand. This simple gesture made Ling Yuefeng's expression change abruptly and even caused Ling Tianni's body to stiffen for an instant.
"What's happening?" Ling Yuefeng said in astonishment. "Frozen Cloud Asgard is situated in the extreme north of Blue Wind, and they almost have no grudges or gratitude toward any influences situated outside of Blue Wind and have never even come into contact with those people before, so why would they suddenly… act against Frozen Cloud Asgard?!"
Xuanyuan Yufeng declared solemnly, "Elder Ling Kun advised that he doesn't know the reasons behind this action, but he can guarantee that it is that faction. Moreover, it was something personally ordered by their young master! If we truly act and 'spoil their party'… Hmph, I'm sure you all are aware of that particular young master's temperament. At that point, even if my father were to step forward personally, he wouldn't be able to protect Divine Sword Villa."
Xuanyuan Yufeng lightly clenched her jaw, her voice lowering a bit, and the depths of her eyes flickered with jubilation and masked jealous hatred. "That Frozen Cloud Asgard is filled with sluts and witches, so where do they get the face to call themselves a fairy palace… Hmph, it would be better if that group of pests were wiped off the face of this earth!"
"…" Ling Yuefeng did not utter a word. With a wave of his sleeve, he gathered all the fragments of the "Glacial Song Jewel" and said with a sigh, "Father, this matter—we should treat it as if it never happened."
Ling Tianni extended his hand slowly, and within his palm was a purple-colored Sound Transmission Jade. Numerous sound recordings could be seen on the surface of this Sound Transmission Jade… He didn't need to look at it to know that these were also the pleas for help from Frozen Cloud Asgard.
And the only person in Frozen Cloud Asgard who could send sound transmissions to him was their Grand Mistress, Feng Qianhui.
Crack!
The Sound Transmission Jade immediately shattered in Ling Tianni's hand and was reduced to nothing but fragments. He did not turn around, and following a surge of sword wind, his entire person disappeared in front of Ling Yuefeng and Xuanyuan Yufeng, without leaving behind a single word or sound.
