Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1833: Chapter 158: Wang Shouzhe! Why Is Your Shadow Everywhere?

…

Master Binglan’s demand for a division was like a clap of thunder, shaking people’s hearts and leaving them unsettled for a long time.

For a moment, the entire square fell into silence.

Codex! This woman actually inherited the Codex!

With the Codex, one has the qualification to glimpse the path of Attaining the Void. How many dream of this?

Unfortunately, generally speaking, a Sacred Land only has one Codex and can only produce one powerhouse of the Void Realm.

For the vast majority of disciples in the Sacred Land, this is destined to be as unattainable as a mirage.

No one knows how much time passed.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke: “Having the Transcendent Void Codex is your affair. Your entanglements with Enlightened One Yuyao are also your own issues. On what grounds do you seek to divide from my Ji Ice Holy Land?”

The speaker was a middle-aged female cultivator of the Divine Power Territory, dressed in a purple long dress.

She did not appear to be very old, with an intricately styled hair bun adorned with exquisite ornaments, which gave her a dignified and regal air.

However, at this moment, there was an undisguisable trace of jealousy between her brows.

Evidently, the fact that someone who was once inferior to her obtained the Codex she had always longed for deeply agitated her.

This woman was Enlightened One Zijue, the current peak master of the Jade Ice Peak lineage.

Because she was a female cultivator and was taken as a disciple by True Monarch Shuangran, most of the peak masters of various lineages would give way to her, fostering her overbearing temper.

Unfortunately, Master Binglan would not condone her.

“On what grounds?” Master Binglan sneered, “According to the regulations of the Immortal Palace, if an extra Void seed appears among the members of each Sacred Land, they can apply for a division to create a new lineage. As for me, I am still a disciple of the Ice Soul Peak lineage of Ji Ice Holy Land to this day, and naturally have the qualifications to divide from Ji Ice Holy Land.”

“You…” Enlightened One Zijue was furious, “You also said you need to apply. We can also refuse.”

True Monarch Shuangran, standing by, furrowed his brows but said nothing for the moment, wanting to see how things would unfold.

“Very well.”

It seemed Master Binglan had anticipated this moment long ago, as her facial expression did not change in the slightest.

With a wave of her slender jade hand, an ice crystal longsword appeared in her grasp.

The longsword looked as though it was carved from Ice Soul, wholly ice blue, incredibly pure, with a slender blade reflecting a prismatic glow under the sunlight, appearing extremely gorgeous.

Wave after wave of chill emanated from the blade, slightly distorting the surrounding air.

Holding the sword, her voice chilled, “If I don’t show one or two tricks, you really take Binglan for someone with a good temper. Since you enjoy opposing, I’ll start with you!”

She flicked her wrist, and casually pointed.

A snow-colored sword light erupted forth.

In an instant, extreme coldness spread out, as if even heaven and earth froze with it.

The temperature on the square abruptly plummeted, and everyone sensed the extreme chill and the frightening sharpness contained within that sword light.

The cultivators watching nearby instantly found frost covering them, frightening them into a frantic retreat.

In a flash, the Sword Intent reached within three zhang of Enlightened One Zijue, the intense cold seemingly about to freeze her entirely in an instant.

“You!”

Enlightened One Zijue’s expression drastically changed.

She didn’t expect this woman would act so decisively, not even allowing a moment’s respite!

In a split second, the combat awareness of a cultivator of the Divine Power Territory aided her. Almost instantly, her form transformed into a purple ray, retreating rapidly, while a purple, disc-like jade pendant appeared in her hand.

It seemed neither like jade nor ice, emanating intense cold from its entirety. This was the renowned Divine Spiritual Treasure [Purple Ice Jade Disc].

With the infusion of her Mysterious Energy, the Purple Ice Jade Disc suddenly burst out with radiating purple light, summoning vast ice spiritual energy. A half-man-tall purple ice shield appeared out of thin air, blocking between the Sword Intent and Enlightened One Zijue.

Under the sunlight, the thick purple ice shield glistened brightly, seemingly inscribed with runes flowing within, clearly indicating extraordinary defensive power.

As the ice shield formed, the tense expression on Enlightened One Zijue’s face relaxed.

This Purple Ice Jade Disc was the Divine Spiritual Treasure guarding the Jade Ice Peak lineage, renowned for its defensive prowess.

Even a famous cultivator of the Shen-tong realm would require effort to breach its defense, let alone someone who had just inherited the Codex and whose bloodline talent reached the unparalleled heavenly child level; at most, they wouldn’t be able to do much with this Purple Ice Jade Disc.

However.

Her confidence lasted less than a breath’s time.

“Boom!”

With a thunderous roar, the Snow-like Sword Intent struck the ice shield.

In less than a breath, the thick purple ice shield shattered spectacularly, disintegrating into countless purple ice crystals dispersed into the air.

The turbulent shock wave roared out, making the purple long dress of Enlightened One Zijue billow.

“How is this possible?!!”

Enlightened One Zijue’s expression froze abruptly.

Under the immense shock, her complexion turned pale as she was spiritually linked with the Purple Ice Jade Disc, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Yet she seemed unaware, staring fixedly at the sword in Master Binglan’s hand, her gaze unfocused, her voice dry as dust: “Is this… a Dao-level Item?”

“Indeed. I had some luck, not only inheriting the Codex within the ancient relics but also acquiring the Dao Sword left by my master from a previous life—the [Ice Soul Sword].”
