Beast EMPEROR

"What I'm trying to say is that only a fool would agree to your terms or anyone else's for that matter. What I want is what you can't give." Although Frost's words were hush, they were the genuine truth. Liu Yue had no idea what Frost was talking about, she stopped listening to him the moment she was rejected.

After Lu Zhen got all that he wanted and all the answers he needed, he decided to leave this cave, besides, the only treasure present in this cave was Frost and since he'd obtained him, there was nothing left for him here.

"If you ever get the chance, please visit my Liu family, we'd be more than happy to have you as our guest." Lu Zhen nodded to her words as he disappeared with Frost into the white fog. He was planning on scouting this entire place to see if there was anything else he missed. 

…

"HAHAHA! Master! Master! Look, there are Blue Betta fish in this pond. No wonder that Iceback Crocodile fought so hard for this place, it was hiding such goodies all to itself, it deserved to die." Frost was both happy and angry at the same time which made him look cute, he looked like a child that caught its parent's trying to hide its favourite sweets.

It took them a few days to reach this place, they countered beasts that most would consider troublesome while others would choose to avoid them like the Snow Wolves which Frost easily took care of. They were almost at the centre of this snowy place and Lu Zhen didn't want to miss out on any opportunities or treasures contained here.

Frost was the one doing the killing this entire time while Lu Zhen turned the corpses into energy orbs and stored them away. "It will probably take us a day or two to reach the central place of this terrain and with the energy orbs and mystic plants I have, they are enough for me to breakthrough to the Human Realm and by that time, it will only be a matter of time before I leave the Bloodthirst Sect."

Lu Zhen would have long reached the Human Realm, the only problem was that he didn't know what to sculpt with his dantian. When he reached this realm, his path would be sealed and set for life, there would be no turning back or having regrets. They continued their journey the next day, of course Lu Zhen stored all the Blue Betta fish in his Spiritual World, he'd use them as rewards for Frost if he did a good job.

He did complain for the entire journey but Lu Zhen ignored him which made him more angry, he was afraid of Lu Zhen and could only vent out his frustrations on the poor beasts that crossed their path. The temperature now was almost as cold as when Frost first came out of his egg, they were sure that no one had ever travelled this far into the Ice terrain as they would now be dead.

They set up a campsite and continued with their journey the next day when the sun had risen. After travelling for a few hours, they had finally reached the central place of the Ice terrain and in front of them stood trees spanning for hundreds of meters in height, it was so cold that even one's soul would be frozen to death but it was nothing to these two.

They entered the Ice Forest but it wasn't long that trouble came knocking at their door, people with long pointed ears, bluish skin, white hair and neon blue eyes pointed arrows at them. These people were extremely good looking and the only way to distinguish their genders was also through their looks, females were more beautiful than males, their bodies also spoke for themselves. "Ice Elves...?"

This was Lu Zhen's first encounter with any Elven race, although he had heard of them in his previous life, he had never met one in actual life. All Elf races were extremely elusive and very well hidden, even those who would have lived for countless years may not have such a chance. Some of them were mounting wolves that were at least three times larger than a fully grown male lion while others flocked the tall trees.

"Halt! Humans are not welcomed here. If you take one more step forward you'll be considered trespassers and your lives will not be spared. Go back to where you came from unless you're looking for death." The leading elf spoke in Elven language and though he was speaking in elf tongue, one could tell by just merely looking at him that they were not welcome here.

Just as Lu Zhen was about to respond, it was Frost who beat him to it, "Greetings, worry not as my Master and I have no ill intentions. We coincidentally stumbled upon your territory and we come from a distant land, it's impossible for us to go back now. If you'll allow us, we only need a day or two of rest and we'll continue with our journey. Please be magnanimous and help us out." Frost spoke in elf tongue which didn't surprise Lu Zhen at all, he was an ancient beast afterall.

It was the Ice Elves that were taken aback by Frost, it could be said to be a feat on its own to learn the language of elves due to how hidden and elusive they were. "How do we know that you're not lying to us? Humans aren't a race that could easily be trusted after all." He was telling the truth, most of the time, humans would just backstab them, kill the men and capture women. Human greed knew no bounds.

"It's true that humans aren't trustworthy but at least give us a chance to prove to you that we're worthy of your trust and as I've previously said, we'll only be staying for a day or two then we'll leave you and your people in peace. We really mean no harm by coming here."

The leading elf was also at a blunder of which decision to make, if they were attacked by the despicable humans, it would all be on him. "Fine! You can enter but humans are not allowed inside. We'll even help you to break the slave contract you have with him. How does that sound?" this elf was totally not inconsiderate, they just couldn't trust humans.

"That is unfortunately not possible. It's not that he used despicable means to tame me but that it was I who begged for a chance to serve him. Please allow us just this once."
