âI want just the two Doctrine Swords.â Han Xuzi and his five companions came over with the Four Great Spirit Clans. Even though they couldnât rival the Spirit Clanâs great army, the pressure emanating from these Martial Emperors was like six great mountains that could crush the Ice Palace at any time.
âMartial Emperors, please come inside to discuss it.â
The Ice Spirit Clan wasnât able to confront six Martial Emperors, and they could only invite them into the Ice Palace. After that, they showed them the scene of the two Doctrine Swords flying away.
âTheir owner had already died. So even if the Doctrine Swords recognized him as a master, why would they fly away?â Han Xuzi was bewildered by this matter, and he couldnât understand it. The only explanation for it was that Jiang Chen didnât die.
However, the Ice Spirit Clan immediately showed the scene of Jiang Chen disappearing. He had turned into countless specks of light, and it would be impossible for him to survive.
âWe donât know what really happened,â the Icy Spirit King said.
Han Xuzi, who wanted to get the Doctrine Swords, could only shake his head and leave along with his companions regretfully. This alleviated the Ice Spirit Clanâs burden by much.
However, what the Ice Spirit Clan didnât expect was that Han Xuzi didnât immediately go back to the Three Middle Realms.
âWe were heavily injured last time by Jiang Chen, and we were almost killed by the Sky-burning Evil Flame. Yet in the end, we didnât gain anything, did we?â One of the Martial Emperors complained, and the other four also expressed the same opinion.
Han Xuzi had a headache because of them. Even though he had a good relationship with them, they were still just friends and wouldnât help him for free. Even if he didnât get the Doctrine Swords, he still must offer them some benefits, or else none of them would listen to him.
âThe Spirit Zone will descend into chaos, and we can take advantage of it to make some profits,â someone suggested.
âThatâs right. Even though the Doctrine Swords flew away, the Spirit Clanâs supreme treasures were left in the Ice Spirit Clanâs land.â
âWe must bring this news to the Four Great Spirit Clans.â
The Ice Spirit Clan certainly hadnât expected such a situation. However, they still didnât fear the Four Great Spirit Clans.
âYou have invaded our spiritual land with a great army, and you still want to search it. Arenât you all looking down upon our Ice Spirit Clan?â As the Icy Spirit Kingâs words echoed, an army charged out of the Ice Mountain near the Ice Palace. It was the Mysterious Ice Army, and the worldâs temperature dropped drastically after their arrival.
âYou shouldnât then blame us for fighting to the death.â The Four Great Spirit Clans threw all caution to the wind. Now, they still had enough power to fight, but if a long time passed, they would be removed from the list of Great Spirit Clans, and other Spirit Clans would attack them.
The great army started attacking, and its spiritual power was like a raging sea that threatened to engulf the Ice Palace. Even the wind came to a stop as it was engulfed by such spiritual power, and the Ice Palaceâs defensive formation was shattered. However, it was obvious from the reaction of the Ice Spirit Clanâs members that they didnât care about this and didnât take it seriously.
Crack!
When the Four Great Spirit Clans started to realize that something was amiss, their spiritual power started coagulating, and it started freezing at an extremely quick speed.
âThis is...this is the Thousand Miles Ice Seal!â
âThere is unexpectedly someone in the Ice Spirit Clan who has mastered such a spirit skill?â
âDamn! Will the Ice Spirit Clan really rise up above the others?â
The frozen spiritual power formed another ground in the sky, and they could just tread over it to travel and wouldnât need to fly. The Spirit Clanâs great army was retreating unceasingly because they didnât want to end up frozen and sealed in ice.
Meanwhile, a beautiful woman showed herself. She was clan in snow-white clothes and had black hair draped over her shoulders. After she appeared, the static wind started blowing once again, and the loud rumbling sound of an avalanche echoed, but this time it didnât emanate from a mountain, but from the sky above the Spirit Clanâs army.
âSupreme Venerable Spirit Heart!â
âMoreover, she has already grown up completely. Oh my God, the Ice Spirit Clan has really hidden her well.â
âLetâs quickly withdraw!â
The beautiful woman depended on her power to repel the Four Great Spirit Clansâ army, and many people who came here to observe the battle were shocked by such a sight.
âSeal them!â
All of a sudden, the Ending Age Mace appeared in the hands of the Icy Spirit King, and he flew above the great army and threw a black sphere at them, which tainted the sky with black color. Most of the armyâs soldiers were frozen, and one could still discern that their faces were filled with fright.
âSure enough! The Ice Spirit Clan got Jiang Chenâs treasures.â
âThe Ending Age Mace is the Blood Shadow Dynastyâs supreme treasure!â
âThe Four Great Spirit Clans who didnât possess their supreme treasures are really weak and powerless in front of the Ice Spirit Clan which is at its peak state.â
The people who observed the battle from afar realized that the Ice Spirit Clan would shortly rise above the others, and it might even replace the Blood Shadow Dynasty and became the new ruler of the Spirit Zone.
âMy clanâs supreme treasure isnât something you can use as you wish.â However, it was at that moment that the situation changed suddenly, and the black dimension disappeared. The Ending Age Mace broke free of the Icy Spirit Kingâs hands and streaked across the sky, before it was held by someoneâs hand. That handâs skin was already withered, and one could clearly see its blood veins and it had many dark spots.
âBlood Shadow Ancestor!â
When the Ice Spirit Clanâs members had a clear look of the handâs owner, they were all shocked. That person was wearing an imperial robe and had a crown of purple gold atop his head. As he held the Ending Age Mace, an imperial aura emanated from his body.
The crowd noticed a ring around one of his right handâs fingers, and such a ring had a mysterious connection with the Ending Age Mace.
âThe Supreme Venerable Ring! Itâs another supreme treasure of the Blood Shadow Dynasty, and it can control the Ending Age Mace.â The crowd immediately recalled rumors related to it.
The Blood Shadow Ancestor was so old his cheeks didnât have much flesh left in them, but he still had a pair of sharp eyes.
âYour Ice Spirit Clan is really too ambitious!â The Blood Shadow Ancestor strode forward, followed by a group of armored soldiers. Those were all elite among the elites!
Jiang Chen had destroyed just the imperial capital, and the dynasty had a broad and vast territory with many great cities. Jiang Chen didnât destroy the Blood Shadow Dynasty completely, and such a matter demonstrated how tenacious was a great faction. It was like a centipede, and even if it died, it wouldnât disappear.
âA Supreme Venerable Spirit Heart. Itâs no wonder that your Ice Spirit Clan took so many risks.â
After the Blood Shadow Ancestor arrived, he took a look at the beautiful woman and waved the Ending Age Mace. The Thousand Miles Ice Seal was shattered, and its fragments sprinkled on the ground.
The beautiful womanâs face turned pale, and it was obvious that she had suffered heavy injuries.
âItâs a pity that you were so complacent that you forget yourselves and exposed yourselves early. Did you really assume that my Blood Shadow Dynasty doesnât have anyone left?â The Blood Shadow Ancestor shouted loudly and erupted with great power which didnât conform to his old age.
The Ice Palace sank on the ground, and an avalanche occurred in many ice mountains, and its ice flew up to the sky
âWithdraw quickly!â The Icy Spirit King and the beautiful woman withdrew into the Ice Palace.
âThe Blood Shadow Dynasty is mighty and formidable.â The Four Great Spirit Clansâ members started cheering as if they were injected with chicken blood. They had all witnessed a glimmer of hope.
âAre you willing to follow me, and help my Blood Shadow Dynasty make a comeback?â The Blood Shadow Ancestor looked at the Four Great Spirit Clans and shouted loudly.
âWe are willing to follow you!â
âThe Blood Shadow Dynasty is the ruler of the Spirit Zone!â
âThe Ice Spirit Clan is reckless and ignorant and is defying even Heaven. They should all be exterminatedâ The Four Great Spirit Clans didnât have any objection to this, and this was what they hoped for and needed.
âSirs, if you donât exert yourself, you wonât get your share of profits,â the Blood Shadow Ancestor said.
Han Xuzi and his five companions, who had been hiding in the dark, revealed themselves.
It could be discerned from the Blood Shadow Ancestorâs tone that he was already so powerful that he didnât need to fear the six Martial Emperors.
Itâs done for the Ice Spirit Clan, many people thought to themselves.
âItâs now time for you to use your hidden card. Please, donât disappoint me.â The Blood Shadow Ancestor looked at the Ice Palace.
âWhy are you acting this arrogantly? If you were really powerful, why didnât you make a move when Jiang Chen was still alive?â A member of the Ice Spirit Clan shouted angrily.
âHumph! What does Jiang Chen amount to? Heâs just a trifling human, and if I wasnât in secluded cultivation, I would have killed him easily,â the Blood Shadow Ancestor spoke proudly.
