Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Setting Up and Framing
After being defeated by Ye Fan, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master did not return to his sect but instead led his subordinates to a mountain valley shrouded in thick fog. Upon arriving, he ordered his n to be on full alert.
Then, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master shouted toward the sky, "Co out, Sha Que!"
Instantly, a figure appeared, wrapped in black clothing with a mask covering his face. He exuded a mysterious aura.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master asked, "Sha Que, have you found my Ice Phoenix Pearl?"
It turned out this was Sha Que, one of the Divine Dragon’s high-ranking Elders. Wherever he appeared, he always emanated a deathly aura, which was how he earned his na.
Sha Que replied, "I haven’t found it. How could sothing that has been missing for over a thousand years be found so easily?"
"Did you kill that boy?" Sha Que countered.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master admitted, "No. He is stronger than !"
"Impossible! How could that traitor’s strength surpass yours? Right now, he’s at most a Half-step Emperor Level, while you are already at the Emperor Level. To say he’s stronger than you is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!" Sha Que said disdainfully.
"Believe it or not, I am no match for him. Since you haven’t found the Ice Phoenix Pearl, and I haven’t killed him for you, our cooperation ends here! We’ll find the Ice Phoenix Pearl ourselves, and you can kill that boy yourselves!" the Ice Phoenix Sect Master declared, dissatisfied with the Divine Dragon’s attitude—or more accurately, annoyed by Sha Que’s cold deanor.
Sha Que fell silent for a mont before sneering, "Our cooperation is only halfway complete. It would be quite indecent to pull out now, don’t you think?"
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master responded, "You have no news of the Ice Phoenix Pearl, and I am unable to kill him for you. Withdrawing is perfectly justifiable!"
"It’s too late to back out now," Sha Que said coldly.
"What do you an?" the Ice Phoenix Sect Master asked, already on guard against him.
He then discovered that dozens of figures had suddenly materialized from the mist, surrounding him and his dozen or so subordinates.
"This is what I an," Sha Que replied coldly. "When you cooperate with the Divine Dragon, don’t even think about withdrawing. Ice Phoenix Sect Master, I’ll give you one last chance: live or die!"
But the Ice Phoenix Sect Master declared, "Is this how the Divine Dragon conducts itself? I will never submit!"
"Then die! Attack! Kill them all!" Sha Que imdiately ordered.
In an instant, dozens of figures charged forward.
"Full defense!" the Ice Phoenix Sect Master commanded.
The two sides clashed. As the Ice Phoenix Sect Master dealt with the enemies around him, Sha Que suddenly launched his assault. His speed was incredible, and he reached the Sect Master’s side in the blink of an eye.
Such incredible speed!
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master imdiately struck out to defend himself, and the two clashed.
"Spirit Water Technique!" the Ice Phoenix Sect Master yelled.
But at so unknown mont, a weapon had suddenly appeared in Sha Que’s hand—a dagger that could slice through iron like mud. The dagger instantly hacked into the Ice Phoenix Sect Master’s arm.
"AH!"
With a bloodcurdling scream, his arm was severed. Sha Que struck again, swiftly beheading him.
This brought the battle to an end. All mbers of the Ice Phoenix Sect were annihilated on the spot.
Sha Que picked up the Ice Phoenix Sect Master’s head and said with a look of disdain, "You are not qualified to bargain with the Divine Dragon. This is the price!"
"Soone, take this head to the Ice Phoenix Sect. Tell them the King of Heaven killed their Sect Master."
"Yes!" His subordinates imdiately sprang into action.
Sha Que then said mockingly, "Kid, I doubt the Holy Daughter of the Ice Phoenix lineage will ever let you off the hook! If it weren’t for the fact that we, the Divine Dragon, are temporarily occupied, do you think you could have remained so arrogant? Go ahead, be arrogant for a little while longer."
Sha Que then disappeared into the thick fog of the valley.
「anwhile」
After Ye Fan thwarted the Futian Alliance’s conspiracy against the Heavenly King Hall and Huaxia Sword, the following two days had been uncommonly calm. He had just been planning to properly recuperate, but those plans were imdiately dashed by the arrival of Qin Yanran from Shangjing.
He said to her, "Yanran, what brings you to Jiangning?"
"Can’t I co to see you?" Qin Yanran asked irritably. From his tone, she felt as if she wasn’t welco.
Embarrassed, Ye Fan imdiately replied, "Welco, you’re always welco!"
"Hmph!"
Although she was sulking, Qin Yanran still took Ye Fan’s dirty clothes to wash them and then gave him a shoulder massage. She was clearly a virtuous woman, the kind any man would want to marry.
She then asked, "Ye Fan, where did she go?"
"She’s gone to a very mysterious place for closed-door training. It may be a while before she cos out."
The ’she’ Qin Yanran referred to was, of course, Su Qingxue.
Qin Yanran said, "I want to train in martial arts too!"
"Excellent! I can teach you," said Ye Fan.
Indeed, as my own cultivation keeps improving, my won must also practice martial arts; otherwise, there will always be a gap between us. But unfortunately, most of them have too poor a foundation, so training won’t be simple.
For this reason, he had been scouring the ancient tos he had taken from the Yan Clan Forbidden Land, searching for a redy—an elixir that could transform one’s physique. Eventually, he found a thod. There was a type of Spiritual dicine that naturally possessed potent spiritual energy. Elixir Pills made from this dicine could quickly open the spirit veins, setting a person on the path of cultivation.
However, this Spiritual dicine was incredibly rare and almost impossible to obtain, as it was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma from White Mountain. Ganoderma itself was extrely scarce, let alone a specin that was a millennium old. To concoct such a miraculous Spirit Pill, the ingredient needed at least a thousand years of growth to qualify as a Spiritual dicine, and the older, the better.
Therefore, Ye Fan said, "Yanran, you stay in Jiangning for now. I’ll make a trip to White Mountain and see if I can find a thousand-year Ganoderma to improve all of your physiques."
But Qin Yanran insisted, "I want to go with you!"
"You’d better not. The weather there is complex, and the terrain is treacherous," Ye Fan said, not supporting the idea.
But Qin Yanran was insistent, and Ye Fan was powerless to stop her.
She really is a stubborn woman.
The two set out. After three days of travel, they arrived near the foot of White Mountain, less than a hundred kiloters from its majestic and perilous peaks. They could see the vague, snow-capped outline of the mountain in the distance.
Qin Yanran exclaid at how beautiful it was.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, was exasperated. He wasn’t here for a vacation; he was here to find the thousand-year Ganoderma
