Chapter 511: Can You Come Back?
Sect Master's ferocious laughter echoed continuously within the land of wind and snow.
The twisted smile on his face sent shivers down one's spine.
"You're insane," the Great Elder said coldly.
Not far away, many Martial Artists were laughing smugly.
Most of them were the Heavenly Talents from the Extreme Cold Land.
Among them, Han Cang and Feng Huayue took the lead.
"Ha ha, fell into the Extreme Cold Rift, did he? He's definitely dead," Han Cang laughed sinisterly.
Feng Huayue showed a look of regret and said, "It's just a pity for those treasures."
"The Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, Blizzard Sword, and nearly five hundred pounds of Cold Ice Marrow."
Several Heavenly Talents from the Extreme Cold Land sneered together.
"Heaven truly isn't fair, bestowing so many treasures upon a dead man."
"How nice it would have been if we had obtained them."
The sneering voices were piercingly sharp.
Nobody noticed that the always silent Qin Feiyang and his two companions had already changed their expressions.
Their faces were complex.
There was anger, reluctance, and a host of indescribable emotions.
But more than that, there was insanity and an unrestrainable killing intent.
"Again, just like this," Qin Feiyang murmured.
"Again, we watched helplessly as he fell into the Life and Death Realm."
"This guy, won't he even give us a chance to protect him?"
His speaking rate was not fast. It was slow, but extremely low.
"Heh heh," Lin Jin chuckled miserably.
"We agreed to find an opportunity for the five of us to gather together and drink merrily."
"Is this guy going to break his promise?"
Liu Yanran remained silent, looking coldly at Bing Chengtian, Cold Ice Palace Master, Everday Palace Master, and others.
"We can't kill those guys for now."
"But we might as well collect some interest first."
Qin Feiyang and Lin Jin nodded, their icy gazes turning toward those around them who were laughing comfortably.
These Heavenly Talents from the Extreme Cold Land were busy collecting various rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within this land of wind and snow.
"Crack, crack, crack." Qin Feiyang's fists clenched, making a snapping sound.
"My brother Xiao Yi was the first-place winner of the Ice Edge Conference, yet met with a fatal end."
"You scum, inferior in skills, what makes you think you deserve to smugly reap your opportunities?"
...
In the distance, Bing Chengtian bowed his hands towards the Cold Ice Palace Master.
He then nodded to the Everday Palace Master and Snow Blade Sect Master.
"This time, with the help of several of you, I was able to obtain the Ice Heart Holy Fruit smoothly."
"In the future, should you have any requests, I shall not refuse."
"Chengtian sir is too polite," said the Everday Palace Master and Snow Blade Sect Master as they returned the gesture.
The Cold Ice Palace Master nodded, without saying much more.
"With that, I shall take my leave," said Bing Chengtian.
"The Ice Heart Holy Fruit should be sent back to the Ice Martial Kingdom as soon as possible."
Bing Chengtian had just spoken and was about to depart when, suddenly, his eyes widened in shock.
Because, in the distance, three figures suddenly caused a great commotion.
Qin Feiyang and his two companions were attacking the Martial Artists from the Extreme Cold Land.
Especially those from the one palace, one sect, and two schools.
"Court death," the Everday Palace Master and Snow Blade Sect Master's eyes turned cold.
From afar, Qin Feiyang's hands turned into claws, and with one swipe, he tore open Han Cang's chest, causing blood to stream down.
Lin Jin's heavy blade had already heavily knocked Feng Huayue flying.
Liu Yanran, like a blood-colored phantom, wreaked havoc among the Martial Artists.
Every second passed meant a Martial Artist perished under her palm.
In just a short moment, more than a dozen Martial Artists from the Ice Martial Kingdom had perished.
The Ice Edge Conference, a grand event for the entire continent, saw Martial Artists from all powers participating.
Naturally, many Martial Artists from the Ice Martial Kingdom participated as well.
And their number was even more than the Martial Artists from the Flame Martial Kingdom.
"You brat, you're looking for death," the Snow Blade Sect Master, the first to react, advanced directly towards Lin Jin.
After all, Lin Jin was currently dealing a deadly blow to Feng Huayue.
At the same time, the Everday Palace Master also made his move.
"Martial Artists from the great families of the Flame Martial Kingdom, huh?" The Everday Palace Master snorted coldly.
"I don't care what capabilities you have in the Flame Martial Kingdom."
"But in the Extreme Cold Land, the one palace and one sect are the overlords."
"It's not your turn to be presumptuous."
Both individuals acted in a flash, intending to capture Qin Feiyang and his two companions.
Just at this moment,
Two streaks of light swept across the sky.
They were even faster than the Purple Radiance Qin Feiyang had shown earlier.
Within less than a breath's time, the two figures had already arrived.
Boom, boom, there came two loud sounds.
The Everday Palace Master and Snow Blade Sect Master were sent flying by the impact.
The arrivals were a beautiful young lady and an old man.
"The Snow Winged Eagle Clan," the Everday Palace Master and others blurted out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely sullen.
Indeed, the newcomers were two Extreme Realm Experts from the Snow Winged Eagle Clan.
Beneath the woman's delicate features, a hint of mockery flickered.
"Evernight Palace Master, Snow Blade Sect Master, I believe our Clan Leader just heard someone mention a so-called overlord of the Extreme Cold Land."
"I didn't hear it clearly just now."
"Would you two mind repeating it?"
"We wouldn't dare." The two from the Evernight Palace hastily stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Hmph, I thought as much," the woman snorted coldly.
Then, her gaze turned to Bing Chengtian.
"Isn't this the Grand Guardian of the Ice Martial Kingdom?"
"Coming to the Extreme Cold Land but failing to greet the Snow Winged Eagle Clan?"
Bing Chengtian abandoned his previous arrogance and courteously replied, "Clan Leader of the Snow Winged Eagles overstated the matter."
"I am preoccupied with urgent matters and have been delayed."
"In the future, given the opportunity, I will surely bring significant gifts to pay my respects."
The woman remained noncommittal, about to say something,
when suddenly, an elder appeared beside Qin Feiyang, asking, "Feiyang, what's wrong?"
At that moment, Qin Feiyang's eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage as he gritted his teeth, "My brother Xiao Yi has been pushed into the Extreme Cold Rift by these bastards."
"I want all these scoundrels to be buried with my brother Xiao Yi."
Qin Feiyang did not attempt to hide his words or his murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression drastically changed.
"Your brother Xiao Yi? The kid from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect?"
The woman looked around and did not find Xiao Yi.
Then, with a flash, she moved to the edge of the Extreme Cold Rift and looked down.
"Damn it, the Extreme Cold Rift is unfathomably deep, like an abyss."
"Even a member of my Snow Winged Eagle Clan who's an Extreme Realm Expert wouldn't make it back alive if they fell in."
At that moment,
Bing Chengtian clasped his hands and said, "Clan Leader of the Snow Winged Eagles, I have urgent matters to attend to and shall not tarry, farewell."
With the end of his words, he left in an instant.
The Cold Ice Palace Master also sheepishly said, "The Ice Edge Conference has concluded."
"The mission of my Demon Hunting Hall is complete, I too shall take my leave."
With those words, the Cold Ice Palace Master also departed in a flash.
Seeing this, the woman narrowed her eyes but did not stop them.
She had no reason to intervene, after all, she had no ties with Xiao Yi.
And the identities of both Bing Chengtian and the Cold Ice Palace Master were no trivial matter.
She certainly could not justify intervening.
"Clan Leader, you can't let them go," Qin Feiyang urgently cried out.
The woman shook her head and sighed, "Feiyang, let it go."
Witnessing this, the Evernight Palace Master loudly declared, "This Ice Edge Conference has come to a successful conclusion."
"All factions and participants may now depart at their leisure."
After speaking, the Evernight Palace Master and figures like the Snow Blade Sect Master quickly led their Martial Artists away.
In less than half a moment, Martial Artists from all factions had left.
They had already taken their share of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Bai Bingxue and the others cast a cold glance at the Sect Master and said, "Let's go."
"This matter will be dealt with by the Master back at the Sect."
The group from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect then left one after another.
Qin Feiyang and the other two, with murder in their eyes, remained unsubdued.
With the sound of a whistle, Qin Feiyang summoned his Purple Winged Eagle Martial Soul and, carrying Lin Jin and Liu Yanran, took to the skies.
The three of them, set on an unknown course.
"Clan Leader!" The elder startled upon seeing this.
The woman shook her head and said, "Leave them be let them vent a bit."
"The Extreme Cold Land belongs to our Snow Winged Eagle Clan, no one can harm them even a little."
With that, this Ice Edge Conference drew to a close.
The vast Land of Wind and Snow was left with only the woman and the elder.
The fierce Gang Winds had already converged, returning to their original state.
Yet, amidst these winds, the two stood unaffected, undeterred by the wind and snow.
"Sigh," the woman suddenly sighed deeply, her complicated gaze directed down into the depths of the Extreme Cold Rift.
"The Extreme Cold Rift is the most perilous place in the Extreme Cold Land."
"No one has ever survived falling into it."
"For hundreds of years, that old woman finally entrusted me with something, but..."
The elder also sighed, "The so-called unforeseen strikes are the hardest to defend against. Who would have thought, their Sect Master from the Sword Sect would want his life."
"Unless that young man has the power to stand proud in this world."
"Otherwise, if someone intends to harm him."
"Our protection would be in vain."
"Never mind." The woman shook her head, "Those few young successors from the Sky-splitting Sword Sect just now, were also no ordinary Heavenly Talents."
"Later, follow them quietly and ensure their safe return to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect."
"They might be her last sliver of hope."
"Yes." The elder nodded and then ascended into the sky and departed.
The woman stood in the same spot for a long time, hesitant to leave, her gaze still fixed on the Rift's unseen depths.
"Feiyang said you've never let anyone down."
"Can you come back this time?"
"Sigh." After a while, the woman sighed again and ascended into the sky and away.
