Chapter 3128 - The Dust Settles (2/2)

In the Heavenly Crane clan, on the Soaring Snow peak, ancestor Lan, ancestor Shi, and ancestor Tian all currently gathered together. Their faces were all filled with undisguised worry.

“Even now, there’s been no activity from the Snow sect. What have they been up to exactly? They’ve made us waste three Ancestral Blood pills for nothing.” Ancestor Tian was exasperated. He was extremely displeased with how the Snow sect had not followed the plan, but he could not help but feel worried either. Once the Snow sect was destroyed, the Heavenly Crane clan definitely could not stop the Heaven’s sect alone.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but the terrifying presence that erupted in outer space is gone. That’s an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime after all. An expert like that has suddenly appeared outside our Ice Pole Plane. I don’t think this is as simple as it seems on the surface. It might be connected to the Snow sect,” ancestor Shi said in thought.

“What’s so strange about that? When the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng hunted down the Flame Reverend and the Heaven-splitting Ancestor back then, didn’t she pass by the Ice Pole Plane as well? And just recently, we sensed the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild’s surging presence. It’s far too normal for these supreme experts to pass by the Ice Pole Plane. You don’t have to connect everything to the Snow sect,” ancestor Tian said in objection.

Ancestor Lan said nothing. Her bright eyes twinkled as she thought about something.

But at this moment, heavy snow suddenly began to fall on the Soaring Snow peak, coupled with the arrival of a suffocatingly-great pressure. A throne of ice and snow appeared above the mountain peak out of thin air.

Before the throne, all of the Heavenly Crane clan’s protective formations were basically non-existent. They failed to obstruct it at all.

The Snow Goddess sat on the throne of ice and snow, peering down on everyone like a god, viewing all life as ants.

When ancestor Lan, ancestor Shi, and ancestor Tian saw the throne of ice and snow, they all became startled. Their hearts surged.

“Greetings, your highness! Welcome back!”

Without any hesitation, the three ancestors of the Heavenly Crane clan immediately bowed down, showing great respect, but they were all filled with excitement.

The return of the Snow Goddess made them realise that the Ice Pole Plane which had spent many years in chaos would finally experience days of peace again.

With the Snow Goddess around on the Ice Pole Plane, just which foreign organisation still possessed the courage to stir up trouble here?

The Snow Goddess was emotionless, completely ignoring ancestor Tian and ancestor Shi as if these two Grand Prime ancestors of the Heavenly Crane clan did not exist. Her gaze was very cold, landing directly on ancestor Lan. She said coldly, “You sure are bold to interfere with my matters.”

“I understand my crimes. I accept all punishment your highness has for me.” Ancestor Lan did not bicker, nor did she try to explain herself. She understood that not only was it useless with the two goddesses, it would even make things worse.

“If that’s the case, then get ready to be sealed for ten thousand years,” the Snow Goddess said coldly. Immediately, cold air wrapped around ancestor Lan. Ice crystals immediately appeared beneath her feet, rapidly spreading across her body.

From her feet, her body gradually became sealed in ice.

Witnessing this, ancestor Tian and ancestor Shi on the side immediately began to panic. They wanted to argue for her, but when they opened their mouths, they could not say anything at all.

As experienced experts of the Ice Pole Plane, they understood the two goddesses’ temperaments all too well. They understood that they would probably face the same fate as ancestor Lan if they spoke up at a time like this.

Sensing that her body was being sealed in ice, ancestor Lan’s heart sank abruptly too. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She immediately said, “Your highness, Jian Chen has close ties with our Heavenly Crane clan. When he left the Ice Pole Plane, he once said this.”

“He said that no matter how his sister turns out, she’ll always be his sister, one of the people he holds most dear.”

When Jian Chen’s name reached the Snow Goddess’s ears, it was like a clap of thunder had erupted in her head, making her mind shake. Her thoughts were thrown into chaos as well.

Even her body stiffened slightly. Her emotionless eyes also rippled at that moment.

However, this state only lasted for a few seconds. The Snow Goddess suppressed all of these negative emotions and recovered her coldness. The ice crystals on ancestor Lan spread much faster too.

In a single instant, ancestor Lan’s expression had been frozen. In that posture, she had been completely sealed in ice.

“Sigh!” The moment she was completely sealed in ice, a gentle sigh echoed through her heart.

The Heavenly Crane clan was not the end. Soon afterwards, the Snow Goddess appeared in various places across the Ice Pole Plane, visiting the various peak organisations on the plane. Some of the ancestors suffered the same fate as ancestor Lan, being completely sealed in ice.

There were also some peak organisations that faced destruction. Their entire sect, whether good or evil, regardless of gender or age, had all been turned into ice sculptures.

However, the ice sculptures that they had turned into were different from ancestor Lan and the Icecloud Founding Ancestor. Ancestor Lan and the Icelcoud Founding Ancestor only had their bodies sealed in ice. Their souls were still unscathed, so their thought process remained the same as before.

As for these organisations where all of their people had been reduced to ice statues, not only were their bodies frozen, but their souls had been frozen too.

The Chillwind sect was one of the organisations that had been completely turned into ice statues.

The Moon God Hall was not spared either!

Earlier, in order to capture the Flame Reverend, the Snow Goddess had hidden herself the entire time, just in case she alarmed the enemy and allowed him to escape prematurely.

Now, since she was unable to locate the Flame Reverend, there was obviously no reason for the Snow Goddess to continue hiding.

As a result, her actions on the Ice Pole Plane were without a doubt a public declaration that she had returned.

For a moment, the Ice Pole Plane was thrown into a commotion. No one paid any attention to the organisations the Snow Goddess destroyed, nor did anyone pay attention to the human-shaped statues standing throughout the Ice Pole Plane, as nothing was more important to the Ice Pole Plane than the Snow Goddess’s return.

Everyone cheered loudly for the Snow Goddess’s official return.
