Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2223: Chapter 2220: Three Ancient Ice Venerate Tokens?

Within the Ice Emperor Palace, ice sculptures and flower clusters are everywhere, exquisitely beautiful.

"Shall I take you for a walk?" Xia Canglan asked with a light laugh.

"Those old fellows keep discussing and can’t stop talking, we shouldn’t wait around getting bored."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "Not going, I don’t want to stir up trouble again."

Previously, if his Sword Heart hadn’t been strong, always pure, and timely reacting, he would have almost fallen for Bing Mei’er’s trap.

Saying this, Xiao Yi casually found an ice ball behind him and sat down.

The ice sculptures within the Ice Emperor Palace are uncommon, often Mystic Ice, ordinary flames can barely melt it, let alone some warmth.

The Martial Artist sitting on it won’t feel any dampness; instead, it provides clarity and tranquility, a feeling of serenity.

Behind the ice ball is a white flower ice tree.

Xiao Yi sat down casually, leaning against it, and said softly, "Ultimately, it’s a matter of power."

"Rather than saying I’m hard-headed, it’s more that Senior Luoo’s reputation scared them."

Xia Canglan sat beside him, laughing, "Indeed, the three words ’Luoo Venerable’ shake the continent, and he is known alongside the Grandmaster."

"The most important thing is, Senior Luoo is always tyrannical, it’s scary not to be afraid."

"Perhaps this is what they call, the old bully the young, the older bully the old."

"Ha." Xiao Yi laughed lightly.

Xia Canglan glanced at Xiao Yi, "Going back to your earlier issue, if you hadn’t wandered around, would there be any trouble?"

Xia Canglan pouted, "Kid, you should have just waited outside for me but you insisted on running around."

"Also, regarding Bing Mei’er, you shouldn’t have said it’s nothing."

"You might not care, but it gave the Bing and Nangong families a handle against you."

Xiao Yi gave Xia Canglan a glance, "How was I supposed to know there was strife within the Ice Emperor Palace?"

"Even you can see it?" Xia Canglan bitterly smiled.

"What do you mean ’even’?" Xiao Yi said discontentedly, "Do you think I’m blind or a fool?"

"Sigh." Xia Canglan sighed, explaining.

"The Ice Emperor Palace, though there’s a Palace Master Token, there hasn’t been a Palace Master for generations."

"Back then, the Grandmaster Ice Venerate had four direct disciples."

"Among them, three founded this vast Ice Emperor Palace."

"The three founders respected their Master and acknowledged only the Grandmaster as the Palace Master."

"Thus, even though they were the founders, they assumed the role of protector."

For thousands of years, while the Ice Venerate has been missing, presumed dead, there’s no confirmed news of his death.

Therefore, despite establishing the Ice Emperor Palace, they preserved the Palace Master position, awaiting the Ice Venerate’s return.

The Ice Emperor Palace only acknowledges the Ice Venerate as the Palace Master.

But unfortunately, as countless years have passed, there’s still no word of the Ice Venerate.

Even the three founders have fallen, still without seeing the Ice Venerate’s return.

Thus, the position of Palace Master for the Ice Emperor Palace is perpetually vacant.

Xia Canglan continued, "Those three founders assumed the role of protector."

"The three founders had the surnames Bing, Nangong, and Xia."

"Their descendants, along with disciples they accepted, over countless years, have gradually formed today’s vast Ice Emperor Palace."

"Earlier, those three protectors..." Xiao Yi said.

Xia Canglan nodded, "They are descendants of the three founders, thus the Ice Emperor Palace is divided into three families."

"You, kid, have roamed outside for years, experiencing various events, you can probably guess."

"Within the Ice Emperor Palace, though united, it’s essentially three families, almost like three clans coexisting here."

"Naturally, there will be conflicts."

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Why not split the family and finish?"

"That’s not allowed." Xia Canglan said solemnly, "The three founders left a mandate not to split the family."

"The ancestors of the three families only acknowledge the Ice Venerate as Master, adhering to this for generations."

Xiao Yi asked curiously, "Then what do the three families fight over now?"

Xia Canglan laughed lightly, "What else could they fight over? Naturally, it’s who has more influence in the Ice Emperor Palace, leading it."

"My Xia family has a better relationship with Senior Luoo."

"The Bing and Nangong families are more stubborn, they are close allies."

"This time, you killed someone from the Nangong family and injured a promising young talent from the Bing family back in the day, both families are targeting you."

Xiao Yi nodded, suddenly remembering something, discontentedly said, "I almost forgot something, you’ve been observing from afar, why didn’t you come to help?"

"Luckily I reacted quickly, or else the consequences..."

Previously, Xiao Yi almost got caught in Illusion Dao, he woke up immediately, while Xia Canglan had been secretly watching from afar.

Xia Canglan chuckled, "Consequences? The consequence would be Bing Mei’er handling you."

"Then, with your skills, you wouldn’t be bullied, you two could become a couple."

"You must know Bing Mei’er is one of the strongest young generation of the Bing family, having her would allow the Bing family to support you."

"This would be a good thing for you."

"You call this a good thing?" Xiao Yi glared.

If the person in front of him hadn’t been a Senior, Xiao Yi would have liked to slice Xia Canglan away with a sword.

"Isn’t it?" Xia Canglan earnestly said, "In terms of beauty, Bing Mei’er is top-notch, naturally alluring, few young women today can compare."

"To be cheeky, in the eyes of you young people, she’s like a rare beauty, unparalleled, having her would be worth a lifetime."

"In terms of family and talent, she doesn’t fall short compared to any hidden family today."

Xiao Yi’s face twitched, "If Senior Xia keeps talking nonsense, I’m ready to draw my sword."

"Why be so serious?" Xia Canglan laughed lightly, "I know you and the Holy Daughter from the Holy Moon Sect are fond of each other, but for a man, having multiple wives is normal."

"With your current status and strength, having many wives and concubines is only fitting, no one would dare speak against you."

Xiao Yi glanced at Xia Canglan, "No need for Senior Xia to worry."

"Then back to business." Xia Canglan straightened his face, "You, kid, were just shouting that you wanted to leave."

"In fact, this trip to the Ice Emperor Palace is a must for you, right?"

"Indeed." Xiao Yi nodded, "Martial Artists in every realm have their corresponding techniques, each represents a significant leap in strength."

"Martial Arts Fusion is a formidable technique at the Saint Sovereign Realm."

"In this past year and a half, seemingly traveling, I’ve actually had no shortage of Martial Arts Insights, but I always felt something was lacking."

"Ice Venerate’s Martial Arts legacy is of great use to me, I believe there must be gains."

"With all my skills, as long as I find the point of integration, I can fully manifest my talents and rapidly strengthen, giving me greater assurance when venturing to the Demon Domain."

This trip to the Ice Emperor Palace is indeed a must.

Xia Canglan nodded, his face turning serious.

The two chatted leisurely for a while, and two hours passed quickly.

The three protectors, along with several elders, returned again.

However, it was noticeable that Xia Yifeng and a few elders’ expressions were somewhat unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong smirked coldly.

"How did the discussion go?" Xia Canglan quickly stepped forward and asked.

Xia Yifeng shook his head, his face grim.

Guardian Nangong sneered, "After consultation with the guardian elders, Master Xiao Yi is not permitted to enter the fourth level of the Ice Emperor Palace for cultivation."

"Even at the command of Luoo Venerable, Master Xiao Yi is not a Martial Artist of our Ice Emperor Palace, lacking the qualifications to view our extensive archives."

"Though we admire Senior Luoo, even if Luoo Venerable were here today, it would be impossible to impose unfairly."

"Palace rules are palace rules."

Xia Canglan squinted his eyes, coldly laughing, "Who says Xiao Yi isn’t counted as our Ice Emperor Palace’s Martial Artist?"

"With three ancient Ice Venerate Tokens, Xiao Yi has long received part of our Ice Emperor Palace’s inheritance."

"Three pieces?" Xiao Yi looked at Xia Canglan in confusion.

Xia Canglan smiled, "No need to hide, I know it all."

"Two are known to the world; the third was found on your waist by Senior Luoo."

"Take them out, let the guardian elders see."
