Chapter 433 (2/2)
This was especially so when the guy called Deus was a talented disciple of the Circle of the Crimson Moon’s current generation and was seen as a hopeful in completing the second transition. He was not someone the Ice Palace’s Saint and Priestess would be able to win against.
Just as the Ice Palace’s Saint was feeling a little helpless, the sounds of explosions occurring in the air rang out incessantly again. She turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw five to six silhouettes leaping and charging up the metal mountain. Then they arrived in succession on the platform at the mountain’s peak.
Circle of the Crimson Moon, Shadow Hall, Steel Shattering Mercury Sect, Sacred Martial Society… All the factions in the vicinity rushed over one after another. They started talking amongst themselves, and the tempers of the factions who already had feuds between them started to heat up. It was as if they were going to break into a fight in the blink of an eye.
In such a scene, even the genius from the Circle of the Crimson Moon, Deus, no longer had any say, let alone Ice Palace’s Saint and Priestess. They gradually backed off, readying themselves to face a chaotic battle at any time.
Fang Xingjian, who was seated on the platform and looking up toward the sky, was already treated as an ordinary disciple of some other sects. So, no one paid him any heed.
Just as chaos was about to break forth, a surge of cold air descended. Then in the blink of an eye, the cold air encompassed the entire platform, and a cold voice rang out across the place.
“To be creating havoc in our Ice Palace’s territory… Isn’t everyone looking down too much on our Ice Palace?”
As the voice rang out, an extremely elegant figure descended, landing next to the Ice Palace’s Saint and Priestess with surges of cold air.
The two ladies said happily, “Master, you’re finally here.”
That elegant voice belonged to a cold and holy-looking middle-aged lady. Although she was a middle-aged lady, her figure and face were well maintained. In particular, her face was snow-white, without a single wrinkle. Only the weariness in her eyes, as well as her identity and dressing, gave signs of her age.
She was the Great Priestess, the current leader of the Ice Palace and a level 22 second transition expert.
When everyone saw the appearance of this second transition expert, they were all slightly taken aback. This was an expected reaction. There were only 5,000 Conferred Knights across the Empire, and within the Empire, second transition experts were very rare. Additionally, every one of them was capable of reigning over a region.
It was just like how, back in Kirst City, the Prefectural Academy’s Headmaster who was a level 26 Conferred Knight, had been sufficient to suppress the entirety of Kirst.
The Great Priestess threw a glance across, and wherever her gaze passed by, the wild Knights all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
“Hmph, a bunch of cowards dare to create trouble at our Ice Palace?”
Just then, Circle of the Crimson Moon’s Deus could not help but say, “The abnormality here concerns the entire Horned Frogs Valley. Yet, the Ice Palace is thinking of pocketing the profits alone? Isn’t that too domineering?”
The Great Priestess frowned and looked at Deus with fury-filled eyes. She said coldly, “This is our Ice Palace’s territory. Everything you’re stepping on right now belongs to our Ice Palace. Yet you’re thinking of taking a piece of the pie?”
The cold air on the platform grew increasingly stronger, and frost started to accumulate on everyone’s brows and hair. Under these circumstances of such extremely low temperature, no one dared to retort against what the Great Priestess had said. This was how powerful a second transition expert was.
Just then, another extremely evil aura came gushing out, and everyone on the platform felt like their bodies had become extremely heated up. It was as if even the blood in their bodies was boiling up and in constant disarray. No matter how much they tried to suppress the feeling, their blood was beyond their control.
Gleams of light exploded from the Great Priestess’s eyes. “Blood Kaiser, you dare wreak havoc at our Ice Palace?!”
An extremely cold voice came down from above, “Great Priestess, if it isn’t on the account that the Ice Palace is just a group of weak females, I’d have removed all of you entirely a long time ago.”
