At this mont in Ice Origin Valley, the entire Ice Immortal Sect was mobilized, and in no ti they had gathered everyone together.
Whether it was idle wanderers like Venerable Zhong Bei and Venerable Yun Suo, or people like Brother Cheng and Ji Linghan, they were all summoned to the sa place.
"Ying Yan, what are you trying to do this ti?"
Venerable Zuo Mo frowned deeply, and Venerable Feng Lin directly rebuked, "Can your Ice Immortal Sect behave yourselves for once?"
"Exactly, you walk your Yang Road, we’ll cross our single-plank bridge, the well water won’t mix with the river water!"
"Don’t delay our cultivation."
This group of free cultivators had no interest in forming factions.
Normally, the Venerables of the Ice Immortal Sect would just ignore them, treating each other as if they didn’t exist.
After all, this batch of loners possessed extrely strong power.
But this ti was different.
"Yun Suo, Feng Lin, Zhong Bei, Zuo Mo... it’s ti for you to make a choice."
"Today is the day of the final ultimatum!"
"You will affect our future unification of the entire Ice Realm; we absolutely can’t leave you be."
In the future, the Ice Immortal Sect was going to rule the entire Ice Realm, leading the Ice Palace and its subordinate Domain Masters and Lords to campaign east and west, competing with other True Realms for territory and resources.
At such a ti, there was still a group of idle wanderers within their borders whose power could rival the Ice Immortal Sect.
What kind of situation was that supposed to be?
The existence of this group would greatly diminish the prestige of the Ice Immortal Sect, leaving them with a thorn stuck in their throat and a prickle in their back.
Even if you claim to be indifferent to the world, that still won’t do!
So, the Ice Immortal Sect intended to seize this opportunity and deal in advance with what they regarded as a "hidden danger."
"The Ice Realm can only have one voice!"
Venerable Ying Yan’s face was cold as he shouted, "Either you join our Ice Immortal Sect, or you die!"
As soon as his words fell, the more than three hundred experts under the Ice Immortal Sect, including Venerable Tianhong and Venerable Lei Yuan, dispersed outward.
As if they had drilled it countless tis, they completely surrounded the hundred-plus people in the middle.
At this scene, not only Yun Suo and the others, even Brother Cheng was taken aback.
The Ice Immortal Sect trying to swallow this group would also suffer heavy casualties themselves; it wasn’t worth it, was it?
Not to ntion, Ice Extre Saint Venerable was still present in Ice Origin Valley.
Had they gone crazy?
Sure enough, when Yun Suo and the others saw this, they all simultaneously brought out their Tier Five True Artifacts!
A mighty surge of Ice Power, under the blessing of Origin, was like world-ending Celestial Power.
In an instant, the entire field was on a knife’s edge.
Fortunately they were inside Ice Origin Valley; if they were outside, once this group started fighting, they might very well destroy the entire Ice Realm outside of its Origin.
"Ice Immortal Sect, you can go ahead and try!"
"If you want us to join, no way in hell!"
"This old man originally had no particular opinion of your Ice Immortal Sect, but seeing how you act today, it only breeds disgust!"
"Ying Yan, you’re welco to try!"
"So what if you have more people? We still have Ice Extre Saint Venerable to uphold justice for us!"
Yun Suo and Feng Lin and the others were utterly unafraid.
They might not have much ambition, but anyone who managed to cultivate to this Realm was no simple character.
How could they possibly submit to others so casually?
"Ice Extre Saint Venerable?"
Ying Yan and Tianhong exchanged a glance, then threw their heads back and laughed.
"Hahahahaha..."
"You still pin your hopes on that old dog?"
"Shut up!"
Venerable Feng Lin and Venerable Zuo Mo shouted in fury at the sa ti.
"How dare you show such disrespect to his lordship?"
As one of the first five hundred people chosen back in the day, though they had never personally received guidance from Ice Extre Saint Venerable, in their hearts they treated him as their master.
For Venerable Ying Yan and the others to call him an old dog was to touch their Reverse Scale.
"Disrespect?"
Venerable Lei Yuan snorted. "He’s already at the end of his rope and about to die and vanish from the Dao. What’s there left to respect?"
"What did you say?"
The expressions of Yun Suo and the others changed, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.
Right then, Celestial Venerable Ming Jue suddenly descended into the field.
"Ice Extre Saint Venerable is already dead," he said expressionlessly.
"From now on, in Ice Origin Valley, my word is law."
At those words, not only Yun Suo, Feng Lin, and the others, but even most of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer experts among the more than three hundred under the Ice Immortal Sect were all stunned.
Because they had only just received this news themselves.
And this news was simply too shocking.
"What?"
Venerable Yun Suo, Venerable Zuo Mo, Venerable Feng Lin, and the others nearly went mad on the spot.
"Ice Extre Saint Venerable is dead?"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Impossible?"
Ming Jue sneered coldly. "Then why don’t you have him co out? See if he can still appear and stop ?"
Yun Suo’s expression was on the verge of collapsing. He roared hoarsely, "Ming Jue, you traitorous cur, what exactly did you do?"
"With just you, how could you possibly stand against his lordship?"
"I don’t believe it!"
The hundred-plus people being surrounded had remained calm even when facing the three hundred in front of them.
But now, upon hearing the news of Ice Extre Saint Venerable’s death, it was as if the sky had caved in; their fighting spirit vanished in an instant.
Because this was Ice Extre Saint Venerable.
With his strength alone he had transford the Ice Realm, and was regarded as a God by countless people.
How could his lordship... possibly die?
They said they didn’t believe it, yet in their hearts they had no choice but to.
So great an upheaval had already occurred, and his lordship still hadn’t appeared. The outco was obvious.
There was no joy on Ming Jue’s face.
Looking at the hundred-plus people collapsing on the spot, a trace of desolation surfaced in his deep eyes.
"If I could, I would never have done such a thing..."
"But unfortunately, in the face of the coming great chaos of the Three Thousand Realms, I had no choice."
"The power of the Ice Realm... must not be dispersed in the slightest!"
"I respect his lordship greatly, but his concept is unsuited to the chaos that’s about to arrive."
The prestige of Ice Extre Saint Venerable was simply too high.
If he were alive.
Then in the future, as long as he stepped out and said one sentence—"I withdraw from the Ice Immortal Sect"—countless people across the Ice Realm would likely regard the Ice Immortal Sect as a crooked, heretical path.
He wouldn’t even have to do anything; countless people would voluntarily go to pay him homage.
This was a scene Celestial Venerable Ming Jue could not allow.
"Madman!"
Yun Suo and the others were already red-eyed.
"You madman!"
"Forgetting your ancestors, betraying and murdering your own master, you traitor!"
"I’ll kill you, you wretch!"
The next instant, several Venerables, filled with boundless rage and hatred, charged at Celestial Venerable Ming Jue without regard for anything.
However, it was all in vain.
They were Venerables, while Ming Jue was a Celestial Venerable.
A Celestial Venerable possessed a strand of Origin belonging to themselves.
Faced with their joint assault, Ming Jue brought forth that strand of Origin.
In the Void, one could see a speck of Ice Flower slowly drifting forward.
The Ice Flower looked utterly ordinary, very faint, very small.
Opposite it, however, were waves of heaven-shattering attacks unleashed by several Venerables.
Each one contained boundless might and endless transformations!
They already faintly exceeded the scope of the Ice Rule.
Each one was enough to make Ji Linghan, Gong Qing, and the others instinctively feel that the world was about to be destroyed.
The disparity between the two sides had already reached an extre.
Before the vast starry sky wrought by the Ice Rule, that single Ice Flower was truly too inconspicuous.
