I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1932: Past Events in the Ice Palace

After everyone left in a hurry, the black and white, huge beast suddenly moved slightly in the silence, and then it struggled hard and slowly stood up. Its steps seemed to be staggering and unstable, and it came to the thatched house that had become a ruin step by step. It stretched out its sharp claws and gently pawed a few times, trying to find something in the chaos. Finally, it found the mother and daughter buried deep under the ruins.

The scene at this moment made Liu Jun's heart tighten. He could clearly feel that the poor mother and daughter were just ordinary mortals. But this great mother used her extremely fragile body to tenaciously support a small space and tried her best to protect the child under her. On her body, there was a heavy beam as thick as a child's waist, like an unshakable mountain.

"Mother, mother" the young Mu Qianchou kept calling her mother with tears in her eyes, her voice full of helplessness and fear. However, her mother had closed her eyes forever and could no longer respond to her heart-wrenching cries.

The beast stretched out its claws again, and this time it was more cautious, using all its strength to throw the heavy beam aside. Then, it lowered its head, sniffed the scent of the mother and daughter carefully, and finally gently hooked the young Mu Qianchou out of the ruins with its claws.

"Let me go, I want my mother, I want my mother." The young Mu Qianchou struggled hard with all her might, waving her little hands constantly, trying to break free from the control of the ferocious beast and return to her mother.

At this moment, a figure as swift as a meteor suddenly appeared in the originally calm sky, accompanied by a sharp wind, and rushed towards here at an astonishing speed.

"Oh my god, it's actually the Ice Palace's Ancestor Yi Ning?" Liu Jun outside the light shield was shocked and couldn't help but shout out, his voice full of disbelief.

They discovered that a new figure had appeared. The huge black and white beast, although seriously injured, was still holding up its shaky body. It used up its last bit of strength to let out a low and intimidating roar, as if sternly warning Ancestor Yining not to approach this place. At the same time, it stood firmly in front of the young Mu Qianchou, refusing to give in.

"After all, I'm still a step too late." Elder Yining looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and saw the woman who had lost her life not far away. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his eyes revealed endless regret and grief.

"Bai Xiong, it's me." As Elder Yining spoke, he carefully took out a bright red fruit with an alluring aroma from his arms and slowly handed it over.

This ferocious beast called the White Bear first lowered its head and sniffed the fruit vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the fruit in one gulp. Then, its originally confused eyes gradually became clearer, and it made a low humming sound, as if telling something to Ancestor Yining.

"I know, I know. You've worked hard. It's not your fault." Elder Yining gently patted the white bear's head to comfort it, and then put it into the jade pendant.

After all this was done, he walked forward with steady steps and gently picked up the unconscious young Mu Qianchou.

After walking a few steps, Patriarch Yi Ning hesitated, stretched out his index finger, and tapped Mu Qianchou's forehead.

Then, countless runes appeared around her, dancing around her like elves.

After a long while, the runes disappeared, and she left with young Mu Qianchou.

"Memory seal? This old lady knows a lot." Liu Jun knew what those runes were for at a glance, but he didn't understand why Ancestor Yi Ning wanted to seal Mu Qianchou's memory. Was she afraid that Mu Qianchou would seek revenge on the Ice Palace when he grew up?

The next second, the interior of the mysterious light shield was instantly plunged into endless darkness. Liu Jun stood outside anxiously, his eyes wide open, but he could not see anything clearly.

Fortunately, he didn't have to suffer in this anxious wait for too long. Soon, another brand new scene appeared before his eyes.

In this scene, Mu Chendong, wearing the unique clothing of the Ice Palace, stood tall in front of the Yixie Patriarch, and the two sides were in a tense confrontation. At this time, next to the Yixie Patriarch, stood the black-robed old man who had taken Mu Chendong away and cruelly ordered the killing of the mother and daughter.

"Ancestor Yixie, it was clearly you who sent out the law enforcement team. Now I just want to know where my wife is?" Mu Chendong's eyes were firm and his tone was full of questioning.

"I said, your wife has already left the territory of the Cold Water God King. She will never be able to meet you again in this life. Allowing Mu Qianchou to stay in the Ice Palace is already the biggest concession I can make." Patriarch Yixie said coldly.

"Then let me go and let me find her myself!" Mu Chendong's eyes widened with anger, and his sonorous and powerful words were resounding, resolute and decisive, and did not allow for the slightest doubt. His deep eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire, and firm determination and endless desire were intertwined in them, like surging waves.

"I'm not tying you up, and you know where the gate is. It's easy." Patriarch Yixie's expression was as calm as water, and his tone was flat without a trace of ripples, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chendong turned around without hesitation, his feet moving like the wind, his rapid steps showing his inner urgency. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to find his beloved wife. "Mu Chendong, I remind you that you had an engagement with the one in the God King Palace. If she knows that you have a wife and daughter, she will not let them live no matter what." The voice of the ancestor Yixie came slowly, like a thunder exploding in Mu Chendong's ears.

As expected, as soon as these words came out, Mu Chendong's steps that were originally about to leave in a hurry came to an abrupt halt. His body froze instantly, and his mind was like a storm. Yes, he was indeed engaged to the adopted daughter of the God King of the Palace. If this matter was known by the God King Palace, with the majesty and means of the God King Palace, the God King Palace would definitely put his daughter and wife to death without hesitation, even without the intervention of the Bing Palace. He simply couldn't imagine the consequences.

"I'll give you another choice," said Patriarch Yixie with a deep gaze and a serious tone, "Stay and do your best to become the master of the Ice Palace. And I will gladly accept your daughter as my apprentice. In time, if there is a suitable opportunity, she will also have the opportunity to become the master of the Ice Palace. In this way, both you and her will be safe and away from all kinds of danger."

When Mu Qianchou heard this, he frowned and said worriedly, "What about my wife?"

Patriarch Yixie put his hands behind his back and responded calmly: "The possibility of meeting again is very small. Of course, if you can successfully break through to the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, I can allow you to meet her, and I can assure you that she will definitely live to that time."

Mu Chendong's eyes were determined. After a moment of hesitation, he resolutely left.

After Mu Chendong slowly left, the old man in black robe beside the Yixie Patriarch could no longer hold back his anxiety. "Ancestor, that woman is clearly dead!" His voice was full of confusion and doubt.

Patriarch Yixie looked calm and said calmly: "I know, but if he can become a strong man in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm and have the ability to hold up the sky, even if he wants to kill me in the future, I will be willing."

"I understand. I will keep this matter strictly confidential." After the old man in black robe said this, he turned around without hesitation and left the place with firm steps.

You know, besides the two of them, there were also more than a dozen people from the law enforcement team who knew about this. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, the old man in black robe decided to go there in person so that they would never reveal this matter.

At this moment, the scene in the light shield was like a TV with a serious signal problem. The picture kept flickering for a full minute before gradually returning to normal.

However, at this moment, the scene switched to another place without any warning.

This is a land of ice and snow. Mu Qianchou and Mu Chendong, who have grown up, stand on the vast snow, looking firmly ahead. Their expressions are solemn, as if they are patiently waiting for something crucial to happen.

"Father, when will the Black Ice Viper appear?" Mu Qianchou asked anxiously, his eyes full of expectation and curiosity staring at his father Mu Chendong.

"Wait a minute, they will come. The Jiweibing Fruit will be ripe soon. This is the favorite fruit of the Black Ice Viper. They will definitely come here to eat it." Mu Chendong replied calmly, his deep gaze firmly fixed on a plant growing on a large rock in the distance.

This plant is particularly unique, with nine slender, emerald green leaves and a beautiful flower blooming on them. In the middle of the flower, there is no ordinary bud, but a round, green fruit hanging.

The color of the fruit is quietly undergoing subtle changes. The rich green at first seems to be slowly wiped away by an invisible hand and gradually turns into a mysterious purple.

At the moment when the fruit completely turned dark purple, without any warning, something strange happened. The originally peaceful and tranquil snow suddenly trembled violently as if a mirror had been broken. Then, a two-meter-long snake suddenly emerged from the snow.

The snake was quietly coiled there, its entire body tightly covered with a layer of scales that gleamed with a chilling light. Those scales were like carefully crafted exquisite armor, and under the reflection of the snow, they looked even colder and more dangerous.

"Here it comes!" Mu Qianchou's eyes instantly burst into excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush out and grab the black ice viper.

"Wait, that's not right, this is an adult black ice viper!" Mu Chendong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Mu Qianchou, who was eager to try and anxious.

At this moment, his face was filled with deep doubts. According to the ancient books of the Ice Palace, the masters of the Ice Palace in all generations would seize the rare opportunity to contract a black ice viper at the critical moment when the ice fruit was not yet ripe, and the ones contracted were all underage black ice vipers without exception.

Because this extremely cold fruit is only attractive to young black ice vipers and can effectively help them thrive, but how could the one that appeared before him be an adult black ice viper?
"Adult? That's impossible, it's only two meters long." Mu Qianchou frowned, looking disapproving, obviously skeptical of Mu Chendong's judgment.
