A wave of cold energy flushed through the air, causing everyone, including the powerful elders, to feel a chill down their spine.
Snowflakes started to materialize in the middle of the air before they gathered to form the figure of a small ice statue.
*Crack!*
The figure shattered as a beautiful woman dressed in blue, graceful, and expensive robes opened her eyes before everyone.
"She is close to breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, and she doesn't fail to show off," Jiang Shi muttered coldly, but there was a hint of amusent in her eyes.
Since no disciple dared to stand closer to her, only Xueyan and two of the elders supporting her heard her words. They could not stop their lips from twitching upon hearing her words.
"It's good to see that everyone has gathered in this place!" Huang iying took her aura back and addressed all the disciples and elders.
Even though she had withdrawn her aura, all of the disciples still felt a sense of superiority and oppression emanating from her.
"I am glad to announce that I have successfully reached half a step away from the Golden Core Realm." Huang iying's words did not elicit any loud cheers or any response other than cold stares. No one found their gazes odd, as they were trained to discard their emotions.
"I just need a good opportunity to break through to the next realm." Ignoring their gazes, the woman continued. "Now that is out of the way, I would like to discuss so of the important topics regarding major changes that will be happening in the sect from now on."
'Here it cos…' Hearing her words, Xueyan clenched her hands into fists, and even the elders beside her pursed their lips.
Jiang Shi noticed the sect mistress glancing in her direction, even though it was only for a fraction of a second.
"First of all, I would like to announce that after careful consideration with the elders of the sect, I have decided to—"
"Would you mind letting us join in on the special gathering?" Before she could finish her words, a calm voice overpowered hers, stopping her mid-announcent.
"Who dares to infiltrate the Frozen Heart Sect!" Huang iying's eyes flashed with cold light as she spread her qi sense in all directions. In a matter of seconds, her senses covered the whole sect.
Even then, she did not find any sign of anyone else in the sect, which puzzled her.
"What's happening?"
"Did soone infiltrate the sect?" Not just the disciples, but even the elders were puzzled by what was happening.
The elders, who were in the core formation realm, rose into the air with their qi flared, ready to attack at any mont.
Huang iying's aura was slowly leaking into her surroundings again. The air around her started to freeze, twisting and being replaced by snowflakes.
Just then, her ears twitched as she heard a faint sound coming from afar. She turned her head in the direction of the sound.
"Junior sister, do you know what's happening?!" On the side, Xueyan looked around with a tense expression on her face.
"I don't know, but it appears we will soon find out." Jiang Shi's reply confused Xueyan, but just as she finished speaking, they heard the sound of air tearing.
*Woosh!*
The air cracked, followed by a heavy blow of wind that caused everyone to cover their faces with their arms.
As the dust settled, they all saw a majestic-looking chariot standing on top of the hanging platform.
Under the narrowed eyes of everyone present, the gates of the chariot opened as a person took a step out of the carriage.
"Who is that person?!"
"To be able to step into the air, they should be in the core formation realm." The disciples looked around to see if soone knew the mysterious masked man. They were mostly the disciples who were not present during the dungeon trials.
But those who had seen Noah imdiately recognized him, including Jiang Shi, Xueyan, and even Huang iying.
"So it's young master Noah." Huang iying flew up into the air to welco him. She recalled her disciples telling her that the mbers of his party called him by that na. "Even though we told you to visit the sect, coming like this is a bit…"
The reason why she was so respectful to Noah was because of his unknown background and the high-level artifact that he just got out of standing behind him.
Huang iying narrowed her eyes, trying to discern Noah's intentions in coming to her sect.
"We were in the middle of an important announcent for the sect," iying shook her head and explained, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding.
"Ah, don't mind then. I am not here to interfere in your sect's matters. We can discuss what I want later once you are done with your announcent." Noah waved his hand dismissively.
Hearing his words, the expression on her face eased. Even though she did not show it on her face, she was shocked to realize that she could not see through the boy's cultivation.
She had tried to see through it when she saw him walking in the air, only to fail.
Noah waved the chariot to land on the nearby cliff. He had already told Xin Yan to stay with Ma Li and accompany her while he dealt with the business with the sect mistress.
Under Jiang Shi and Xueyan's curious gaze, Noah flew along with the sect master and stood among the elders.
Seeing a man in their sect, so of the elders frowned while the others did not care; the expressions of the disciples were no different.
For the next few minutes, iying continued with her announcent, explaining the changes in so small rules and other things she had decided to implent.
"Now that the workings of the rules have been clarified, there is one last thing we have to discuss." iying's cold voice echoed in the valley as she glanced at Jiang Shi. "I have decided to promote Disciple Jiang Shi to the position of an elder!"
Her words were followed by a tense silence. Not only did she not call her saintess, but she also 'promoted' her to be an elder.
Anyone with enough brains knew that being made an elder from being a saintess was a demotion, not just in their sect but in others as well.
The saintess position signified the next in line for the position of sect master.
"About that…" The sect mistress sharply turned her head towards Noah, who interrupted her announcent for the second ti. "I have sothing to say."
She narrowed her eyes coldly. Just as the boy had said he was not going to interfere in their matters, he went and did the opposite.
