Chapter 1166: Chapter 1165: Extre North Land Chapter 1166: Chapter 1165: Extre North Land Fang Lin held the Jade Slip in his hand, his expression sowhat grim as he sat upon the Hall Master’s throne and couldn’t help but coldly chuckle, “What a remarkable Inspection Hall Master, even Elder Tianhong must undergo interrogation. It’s indeed a bold move.”
His side had already received the ssages from Elder Tiankui and the Inspection Hall. It was not just him; all who had been involved in the suppression of the Dragon Family Demon, from the Eight Great Elders and Mr. Long Jiu to a minor figure like Fang Lin, were required to go to the Inspection Hall for interrogation.
This ssage was truly startling; Fang Lin had never expected this move from the Inspection Hall Master.
Fang Lin could imagine how terrible Elder Tianhong must be feeling right now, having to face interrogation by the Inspection Hall despite being an Elder—an unprecedented event since the foundation of the Pill Alliance.
Compared to that, the interrogation of people like him seed insignificant.
“What a character Situ Zheng is to have firmly held the position of the Inspection Hall Master for so many years without any faltering,” Fang Lin mused to himself. The situation had been settled; he definitely had to go to the Inspection Hall.
Once he went to the Inspection Hall, being on their turf, he might not have control over the situation, so Fang Lin had to prepare in advance.
He stored all the items that were not suitable for public view in the Supre Saint Hall, especially the Demon Puppet, which he had to hide carefully.
anwhile, Fang Lin had a detailed discussion with Elder Tiankui, who told him that even he could not stop the interrogation by the Inspection Hall; Fang Lin had to go. Situ Zheng was serious this ti and would not grant favors to anyone.
However, Elder Tiankui also assured Fang Lin that even if he went to the Inspection Hall, there wouldn’t be much trouble. After all, it wasn’t just Fang Lin being interrogated this ti. Both Mr. Long Jiu and Elder Tianhong were involved, so he should go with peace of mind. Once everything was clarified, there would likely be no more issues.
Yet, Fang Lin wasn’t so optimistic. Going to the Inspection Hall, he feared a significant storm awaited him.
But caught in the whirlpool, he had no choice; whatever was coming, Fang Lin just had to face it. The boat will straighten at the bridge; it was rely a matter of responding to moves as they ca.
The Inspection Hall had given Fang Lin a deadline; he must arrive at the Inspection Hall for interrogation within ten days, or else they would send soone to forcibly take him.
Of course, Fang Lin wouldn’t give the Inspection Hall any opportunity to exploit, so he gathered many elders under his command and inford them that he was about to go to the Inspection Hall for interrogation, with Elder Wang leading the North Town Hall in his absence.
After giving his instructions, Fang Lin set off on his journey to the Inspection Hall to face the interrogation.
Without another word, after eight days of travel northward, Fang Lin finally saw a black structure standing on the hard frozen ground.
The Extre North Land was cold all year round, the farther north, the colder it beca.
Only Demon Beasts suited for living in icy and snowy environnts could survive in the Extre North Land. Ordinary people who stepped into this region would freeze to death within monts.
Only Martial Artists above the Earth Elent could enter the ranges of the Extre North Land, but even they couldn’t stay for long as their blood would eventually freeze.
Only at the Spirit Vein realm could one resist the extre cold of the Extre North Land with their own power, allowing for prolonged exploration and stays in the area.
This vast region of the Extre North Land had also been a battlefield for many warriors of the Nine Countries, because many bodies from the ancient wars were frozen here, perfectly preserved within the unlting ice of ten thousand years. Acquiring one of these ancient bodies could bring unimaginable benefits.
Apart from ancient corpses, the Extre North Land also contained nurous heavenly and earth treasures, making it practically a treasure trove.
Thus, since ancient tis, many powerful beings have wanted to enter the Extre North Land to get a share of the bounty, hoping to obtain so benefits or, at the very least, pick so heavenly and earth treasures to take back.
Unfortunately, from ancient tis to the present, martial artists who stepped into the Extre North Land only road the peripheries. As soon as one ventured deeper than five hundred miles, it beca exceedingly difficult to make it out again.
Rumors say that the Extre North Land was once an ancient battlefield with nurous casualties, where countless residual souls gathered, never dispersing, consuming any living being that ventured too deep into the Extre North Land.
Others claim that deep inside the Extre North Land, there resides an extrely fierce Demon Beast. Even so lucky survivors who managed to escape have reported seeing a crystal-clear True Dragon erging from the Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice amidst the misty ice fog.
There are even more outlandish rumors that deep within the Extre North Land, there lives a group of ancient survivors, each one incredibly powerful and daunting.
These rumors are largely disbelieved, yet they are widely discussed and enjoyed, seeming to indicate a deep interest and curiosity about the vast Extre North Land.
Since the five-hundred-mile limit in the Extre North Land represents a boundary, within this boundary, one might encounter powerful Demon Beasts and massive under-ice creatures. As long as one is strong enough, no real harm should occur.
However, crossing this five-hundred-mile mark can make it extrely uncertain whether one can return alive, even Spirit Source experts have precedents of disappearing in the Extre North Icefield, and not just a few.
In recent tis, the Three Emperors and various powers have agreed that no one should venture beyond the five-hundred-mile range in the Extre North Icefield.
As the most neutral force, the Pill Alliance established the Inspection Hall over the Extre North Icefield, partly to guard it and partly to monitor all the factions, prohibiting unauthorized entry into the Extre North Land.
Fang Lin was visiting the Inspection Hall for the first ti, and it was also his first visit to this Extre North Land. Looking around, the world appeared almost bleak white with nothing but the towering, majestic Inspection Hall and the ice and snow.
The Inspection Hall, wholly black, resembled a gigantic black beast perched atop this pure white icy land, forming a stark contrast.
The most eye-catching feature was a statue in front of the Inspection Hall.
It depicted an elder with a solemn expression, hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky, with a scale behind him adding an infinite presence.
This was the first ever master of the Inspection Hall and also forrly the ninth Elder of the Pill Alliance.
In the early days of the Pill Alliance, when much was yet to be restored, the four Heaven Kings had established the Inspection Hall with the intent of preventing the Eight Great Elders from acting without any constraints.
According to the intention of the four Heaven Kings, the position of the master of the Inspection Hall was equivalent to that of the ninth Elder.
However, up to now, the position of the Inspection Hall master still slightly lags behind that of the Elders, but just by a little, yet the rights he held were indeed significant.
“Bold! Who dares to spy on the Inspection Hall?” Just as Fang Lin was standing in the sky, sizing up that statue, a thunderous shout resounded, and several figures rapidly approached Fang Lin, clearly with unfriendly intentions.
