Chapter 212 Protection (2/2)

The grey-robed cultivator saw Shen Lian dived into the water and resurfaced quickly. He then hovered to speak with the Mystical Whale. He was rather curious about Shen Lian's origin.

He had never heard of such a guy, but he had the idea to invite Shen Lian to Longevity Temple. Afterall, Gu Caiwei allowed foreign cultivators to discuss Dao there. If there was something good that came from it, the cultivator would have received something from them and they would then forge a relationship.

He would have some great records if he was the one who introduced the cultivator over.

The grey-robed cultivator did not expect himself to achieve Dao in this life, but if he could pull the strings with Qing Xuan, it would allow for his future generations to have higher chances to enter Qing Xuan. It would be something good. The non-formal cultivators were unlike those from the Xuanmen sects who only needed to focus on cultivation. They had to worry about wealthy celestial land and the evil cultivators elsewhere who were killing others for money.

He would gain protection from Qing Xuan and hence his ownership and life could be safe.

Not to mention what the grey-robed cultivator was thinking, Zuo Shaoqing was wondering what Shen Lian was thinking. The young chief has always had some unpredictable actions, but he almost always gained from such actions without being thrifty.

In the beginning, he was rather angry at Shen Lian, but over the years, he began to respect Shen Lian as he behaved in a free and wild way, but at the same time he was extremely thoughtful and never just followed his heart.

The Mystical Whale looked like it was a huge danger and Zuo Shaoqing wondered how Shen Lian would handle it.

From his personality, he would expect him to chase away the Mystical Whale. If he could not, he would kill it, or just leave. He felt like Shen Lian would not do any of those, but they were discussing something.

A humongous object which looked akin to an island; then there was this young man in Daoist robe.

There was extreme contrast, but nobody could expect that Shen Lian was going to take in this Mystical Whale.

With the words of promise from the Mystical Whale, he then did as he said.

He went into the sea again, and then Xuan Ice was formed, which turned into a huge ice land.

The Xuan Ice kept spreading and it almost reached where Zuo Shaoqing and the grey-robed cultivator were. They immediately lifted off.

The coldness made the grey-robed cultivator shiver.

Zuo Shaoqing's sword aura destroyed the cold Qi and hence he was not affected. His sword eyes opened, and light rays shot out. He looked at the ice and finally he saw not far away from the Mystical Whale, Shen Lian was frozen.

Zuo Shaoqing was shocked as he did not know what had happened. He turned into a sword ray and flew towards it. Some of the ice dust went with him. As Shen Lian was placed in the depth of the ice block, covered in extremely thick Xuan Ice, it was hard to destroy it. Even with his sharp sword ray, he could not just get to Shen Lian.

The grey-robed cultivator too took out a small hammer and commanded it with mana to knock on the ice. There was only a small dent made, and it was far less effective from Zuo Shaoqing's. The recoil effect almost made him spit out blood.

Zuo Shaoqing intended to continue with his attack but he realized Shen Lian was smiling on the ice.
