For the Ice Palace Master, swearing in the na of the Ice God is far more severe than vows like "swearing to the heavens" or "struck by thunder."
People with pure faith would not easily make vows to their own beliefs, because once you swear, it ans you must adhere to it, otherwise, your faith will beco impure.
This is unacceptable for people with pure faith.
Xu Hao was slightly moved at this mont.
Could he have misunderstood them?
The remnant soul within Chu Xiaoxiao is very important to them; perhaps they really will protect Chu Xiaoxiao well?
To be honest, although Xu Hao is very confident, he has many things to do and cannot stay with Chu Xiaoxiao all the ti.
If the ngzi Family cos again, even bringing one of their treasures, as long as Xu Hao is not present, the formations in Huadu are essentially useless against them.
When they kill the remnant soul within Chu Xiaoxiao, it's impossible not to harm Chu Xiaoxiao, and even killing Chu Xiaoxiao is not beyond possibility!
As stated in "ncius: Fish is what I desire": "Life, is what I desire; righteousness, is what I desire, but if I cannot have both, I will sacrifice life for righteousness."
The people of the ngzi Family have always esteed "righteousness," and to achieve certain goals, they are willing to sacrifice themselves.
Such a family is admirable, yet makes one keep a respectful distance.
Because you never know when they might sacrifice family for righteousness, or even sacrifice themselves for it!
The eldest son of the ngzi Family, ng Xiangwen, said that the being within Chu Xiaoxiao is a demoness, and once it erges, it will cause devastation.
For people of the ngzi Family who esteem such "righteousness," they will undoubtedly strive to eliminate it.
They might even be willing to go down together with Chu Xiaoxiao.
This is extrely frightening.
A group not afraid of death is enough to make people defenseless.
Xu Hao's mind contemplated many things, but he still didn't want to entrust Chu Xiaoxiao to the people of the Ice Palace.
Xu Hao said, "Palace Master, I perhaps can understand your feelings, but please also understand mine. Chu Xiaoxiao is currently with , and I must do my utmost to ensure her safety. We've only t for less than half a day, how can a few words make entrust Chu Xiaoxiao to your care?"
The Ice Palace Master was taken aback, and said, "I understand now. Ultimately, it's because you don't trust us enough."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "If you want to entrust Chu Xiaoxiao to you, it's not impossible, but you must offer soone of equal value as a hostage."
The Ice Palace Master was stunned, not expecting Xu Hao to make such a request.
However, thinking it over, what Xu Hao said seems reasonable.
But, it was sothing she found hard to accept. How could her Ice Palace disciples be subjected to the control of those crude n outside?!
"Young Master Xu, your condition is a bit excessive. To be honest, Chu Xiaoxiao has a significant connection to our Ice Palace; eventually, she will return to us!" The Ice Palace Master's voice carried unparalleled confidence, as if her words were akin to royal decrees.
Xu Hao looked deeply at her and said, "What you say may be true, but it must be after she agrees on her own in the future; for now, it won't do!"
Xu Hao glanced at a young woman behind the Ice Palace Master. She was very young and extrely beautiful, rivaling even Chen Suyi, yet had the strength of a peak Late Stage Grandmaster level. Clearly a genius, she would not lose to soone like Zhou Shuran, a rare genius.
Such a disciple must be highly cherished by the Ice Palace, and it is for this reason that Xu Hao said, "This should be your Sect Leader's Chief Disciple, right? Why not offer her to as a hostage?"
The Ice Palace Master's face imdiately showed a hint of anger, her voice cold as she said, "Young Master Xu, I hope you respect yourself a bit; our Ice Palace's Sect Leader's Chief Disciple is the Sect Leader's successor. As long as there's no accident, she will surely take my place and beco the next Sect Leader. If she were to beco a hostage, it would be an imnse humiliation for our entire Ice Palace!"
Xu Hao said plainly, "Does your current Sect Leader's Chief Disciple truly replace you? Sohow, I feel perhaps Chu Xiaoxiao is more suited for that position?"
The Ice Palace Master's expression slightly changed, her voice cold as she asked, "What do you know? Why speak like this?"
Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat; had he guessed correctly?
Chu Xiaoxiao truly holds very significant importance for their Ice Palace?
Though suspecting in his heart, Xu Hao's face remained unfazed as he continued, "I understand so of your thoughts, but don't forget, it is your Ice Palace that needs my help, not asking you. If you do not agree, then I will leave the Ice Palace. Before you act against , think carefully; even the ngzi Family's people dare not directly confront , let alone you?"
