Soul Emperor Martial God

Inside the Ice Palace Fourth Floor.

Lu Long, Xia Yifeng, and the other two watched the giant holes around them with different expressions.

On the giant holes, there were still distinct and astonishing traces of Sword Intent, outside was the endless wind and snow.

Of course, the expression most common on their faces was still shock.

The young man they’ve been observing for a month had vanished silently within their Holy Land of Ice Emperor Palace.

"Damn it." Suddenly, a furious roar broke the silence.

The speaker was Guardian Nangong.

"Xiao Yi, that little thief is truly audacious and reckless."

"He wrecked our Holy Land of Ice Emperor Palace, indulging himself so much that he triggered the unknown Prohibition here, with unforeseen consequences."

"Does he really think just because he has the Eight Palaces behind him, we’ll continually tolerate his offenses and humiliation?"

Guardian Nangong’s face was fierce, even tainted with killing intent.

Guardian Bing directly looked at Xia Yifeng, "Guardian Xia, I don’t care how much you favor that kid."

"Nor do I care what kind of relationship you have with Black Demon Hall or Senior Luoo."

"Daring to ruin our Holy Land of Ice Emperor Palace is challenging the Ice Venerate Ancestor, and we will never let him off."

"When this kid emerges, or when we find him, he must..."

Xia Yifeng interrupted in a deep voice, "Can’t you figure it out yet?"

"What?" Both Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong frowned.

Lu Long spoke directly, "The Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace was left by the Grandmaster, how could it be arbitrarily triggered by someone to this mysterious and unpredictable prohibition?"

"Even our ancestors didn’t have that ability, let alone Xiao Yi, just a mere young kid."

"But why exactly is this happening..." Lu Long also frowned.

Xia Yifeng pondered for a moment, his face grim, "Do you remember the instructions left by our ancestors countless years ago before they reached their limits?"

How long ago was it exactly, perhaps the four protectors can’t recall.

Was it millions of years ago, or even longer?

Xia Yifeng doesn’t remember either, hence he only said countless years ago.

Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong squinted in thought.

Lu Long then blurted out, "That secret?"

"Precisely." Xia Yifeng nodded, "The four ancestors once said, the Martial Arts Inheritance of Ice Venerate Ancestor is extremely valuable."

"Yet even they, the four disciples, couldn’t perfectly inherit this legacy."

"Thus, the four disciples established their own forces to pass down the Martial Arts of Ice Venerate Ancestor in their own ways."

"The purpose of Ice Emperor Palace and Ice Storm Sword Pavilion is to protect the Master’s inheritance, preventing its decay and loss."

In ancient times, there were countless extraordinary talents and countless forces powerful for a time, but most were fleeting.

To this day, how many Martial Arts Inheritances have vanished into the river of history?

How many once brilliant, now have no more glory?

Yet Ice Emperor Palace and Ice Storm Sword Pavilion have endured for over tens of millions of years, still remaining resilient.

Their existence has significance.

Xia Yifeng continued, "Besides the inheritance of Ice Venerate Ancestor, the most cautious instruction of the four ancestors was the message given by Ice Venerate Ancestor before he disappeared."

Lu Long and the three protectors suddenly became solemn.

Xia Yifeng said seriously, "The Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace was left by Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"The four ancestors once said that the Ice Emperor Palace could be destroyed, the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion could perish, but the Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace must never have any slight damage."

"The Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace has its own secret."

"Ice Venerate Ancestor didn’t leave a solution back then, nor did the four ancestors know the reason."

Lu Long said earnestly, "I certainly remember the ancestor’s instruction clearly."

"According to the ancestors, the secret of the Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace is within the Fourth Floor itself."

"The Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace is the true Treasure left behind by Ice Venerate Ancestor; if we cannot find the answer, we must protect it with our lives, letting no mishap occur."

Xia Yifeng nodded, "The answer, despite our two forces existing for countless years, no one has been able to find."

"Hmph." Guardian Nangong snorted coldly, "It’s only because of the final instructions of the four ancestors that the Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace is the Holy Land."

"The Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace was left by the Grandmaster, and it is of utmost importance."

"Xiao Yi, that kid, has now directly damaged the Fourth Floor of the Ice Palace, his crime is enormous..."

"Fool." Xia Yifeng said coldly, "Haven’t you understood yet? The answer has been found by Xiao Yi."

"Hmm?" Lu Long’s face showed astonishment.

"Hmph." Guardian Bing snorted coldly, "What a true joke."

"For countless years, countless strong individuals of our two forces have been unable to uncover the secret, and yet Xiao Yi, just an outsider here for just one month, has solved it? Found it?"

Xia Yifeng didn’t reply but rather crossed his hands and examined the surrounding giant holes.

"The Flame Dragon Six Venerable Masters once stood at the pinnacle of the continent in ancient times."

"Among them, Ice Venerate Ancestor was the most renowned."

"Countless supreme monsters admired him, eager to apprentice under his guidance."

"But the Grandmaster accepted only four disciples, and thereafter, no matter how outstanding other monsters were, he wouldn’t give them a glance."

Guardian Bing said coldly, "I know about this. Ice Venerate Ancestor was always proud."

"Additionally, Ice Venerate Ancestor stood at the pinnacle of the continent."

"He once said, if his four disciples couldn’t surpass him, at least they should be four peaks of the world..."

"Hmm?" Guardian Bing suddenly paused his speech and gazed in shock at the surrounding giant holes, at the endless wind and snow outside.

Xia Yifeng said solemnly, "We will know the truth once Xiao Yi reappears."

...

Also within the ’Ice Palace Fourth Floor.’

Xiao Yi looked at the distant figure clad in white, his body trembled inadvertently.

That figure, seeming ordinary, but emanated an ancient and terrifying aura to the extreme.

The figure appeared somewhat ethereal, not quite solid, not resembling a living person at all.

The moment the figure turned, it slowly approached.

Xiao Yi watched that familiar yet intimidating face, watched the figure’s floating movements...

At that moment, perhaps not merely tingling scalp could describe it.

More like terrifying, with cold sweat flowing down his forehead.

That feeling was like a frightening ghost, claws extended, coming at him wanting to tear him to pieces.

"Gulp." Xiao Yi unconsciously swallowed, attempting to forcibly calm his nerves.

Xiao Yi, after all, was Xiao Yi, having experienced life and death, quickly steadied himself.

In his hand, instinctively he consolidated, only to find his hand empty.

"Where is my sword?" Xiao Yi’s mind was jolted, suddenly remembering he had thrown his Purple Lightning earlier to fend off Guardian Nangong.

Along with his Dawn Bell which was thrown out to block Lu Long.

His two Treasures were not on him at the moment.

And within this brief halt, the white figure ahead had already ’floated’ over.

Xiao Yi reacted swiftly, instantly gathering flames in his hand.

The powerful purple flames, ordinarily mighty, but now in Xiao Yi’s hand seemed shaky and unsteady.

"Not good." Xiao Yi’s heart was startled.

The white figure, now standing in front of Xiao Yi, furrowed his brows, "Kid, why are you panicking?"

...
