235 Silver Blizzard City! (1/2)
Although the two men had judged that Hai Chen Feng was stronger than them, they had also guessed that he neither intended nor dared to act rashly. In fact, he was trying to avoid severely injuring them. As a result, he was being cautious and wasn't attacking them blindly; the two men simply couldn't believe their luck!
At the same time, Hai Chen Feng had realized that the two black-clothed men weren't remotely grateful for the mercy he was showing them. He couldn't help getting angrier each time he was attacked. His sword gleamed brightly, and his body shot towards his opponents like a comet as he shouted, ”This place is not appropriate for fighting! Do the Master's cold-blooded disciples have the courage to follow me to a more suitable place?”
The two men laughed. ”Good. Then the one who loses will desist from trying to conquer the capital's underworld.” The three figures, covered in blue light, then disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Long Dai Hai and Jin Feng Lie were both Earth Xuan experts who wouldn't be considered weak; however, they couldn't help but be dazzled at the spectacle of these three experts engaged in a battle above them. Seeing the three depart, Jin Feng Lie energetically patted Long Dai Hai's shoulders. ”Let's go and discuss the arrangements to be made for our gang.”
Jin Feng Lie was a veteran of the underworld, and although he could not discern which of the parties was weaker, he had known Hai Chen Feng for a long time. After hearing the dialogue between him and the two men, he felt no need to worry because he was confident that his friend had the upper hand!
It was only then that Long Dai Hai opened his eyes, which he had shut earlier due to fear. After understanding his counterpart, with a grunt, he walked inside with him.
...
In the extreme north of the land lay the Silver Blizzard City!
There were snow-capped mountains in all directions as far as the eye could see!
In the middle of the vast and misty uninhabitable peaks was a magnificent, mysterious and unpredictable city of pure ice. It seemed to overlook the entire world from the secrecy of the clouded, snow-covered peaks!
It was not yet daybreak, and the sky was still dark when the bell to convene rang out. The loud echoes of the bell disrupted the seemingly perpetual tranquility of the place, and the many pure-white birds which were sitting in the area suddenly shot up like rockets, scared away by the sudden peals; their cries filled the sky as they continued to circle above.
The base of the main building was made of pure ice. Inside the hall, on a wall of snow-white bricks, was a portrait of people in white clothes. Each of their postures was different; however, they all revealed the same look of pride and cold power on their faces!
Their eyes were 'god-Like' and full of murderous aura, and it seemed like they had power over life and death, able to seize anything they wanted; in fact, they seemed so powerful that they considered everyone else below them!
They were the Silver Blizzard City's ancestors!
The hall was quite big, that even if hundreds of people were to dine in it, still no one would feel that the place was overcrowded.
A white-clothed old man, with white hair and beard, stood in front of the incense table with his hands behind his back. He silently gazed at the portrait of the ancestors, and on his face was an expression as tranquil as calm water and as cold as ice.
Even though his hair was white, he had a straight back and a firmly held chest. He stood erect like a shaft of a formidable blade, all the while emitting a cold, sword-like aura!
No one could doubt that this old man was hiding immense power within him!
In fact, it seemed that his strength could shake the earth, surpassing all his peers!
Then, the swishing sound of clothes overcame the silence in the hall as many white-clad people entered rapidly from all directions They assembled in a manner that indicated that each already had a predetermined position. Even in that large crowd, no one bumped into each other, and only a word or two was spoken.
In a short while, everyone settled down in their respective positions, and all eyes turned towards the old man standing in the center. Though they were all a bit surprised at being called like this, no one uttered a single word.
Amazingly enough, blue lights emanated from their bodies! There were nearly a hundred people there, and all of them were at least Sky Xuan experts!
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps was heard as seven old men entered in a line, walking unhurriedly on the floor that was made of ten thousand-years-old mysterious ice. Each and every step was very calm when they walked in, and they stationed themselves behind the old man who remained standing quietly in the center.
An individual clad in white paused at the door with a graceful poise. His eyes twinkled and a power radiated all around him as he appeared at the door and stood proudly. It seemed that all the land under the heavens, including everyone in the hall, existed solely to be his dominion!
At his side, his partner, a beautiful, middle-aged woman, was nestled against him like a frail willow. Their looks were unrivaled. The man seemed like a confident hero who stood above everyone else, and the woman had a grace and style unlike anyone in her generation! The bystanders were admiring the couple, looking at them with envy for their perfect match!
Everyone inside the hall turned to the couple the moment they entered and bowed. ”Welcome, our city's master and mistress. It is a pleasure to see you!”
”You needn't be so polite,” the two replied with a hint of a smile on their faces. They unhurriedly proceeded to the middle of the hall, where they sat down on the only two chairs available in this huge space that was capable of seating hundreds of people.
