Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

In addition, because of her efficiency, Fairy Bingyu quickly arranged the funeral for the three disciples of the old Daoist Pohuan.

They also gathered all the Ice Soul lineage disciples in the sect to see them off.

During this period, the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord also personally built cenotaphs for the three disciples, including the old man Soul Illusion, using some clothes and other items left behind in their early years.

At this moment, beside those three cenotaphs.

"Po Huan, it is my incompetence that I have failed to avenge you. I hope you and your two disciples will not blame your master."

The Ice Soul Heavenly Lord gazed at the cenotaphs of the three, including the Soul Illusion Old Daoist Lord, his brows furrowed with grief.

After pondering for a long time, feeling guilty, he went to the relatives of the three old Daoist Po Huan again and gave them some hidden sixth-order life-saving items.

“Ancestor, you don’t need to do this. Bingyu has already given us a lot of compensation and preferential treatment, and we are already satisfied.”

"Moreover, those kinds of things are extremely valuable, and even those who have reached the Void Refinement stage would have a hard time obtaining them. Yet you are giving them to us. We really dare not accept them."

Having witnessed the work of the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord, the three of them felt a warmth in their hearts and quickly declined.

"Please accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"Furthermore, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can go directly to Bingyu. However, you must remember not to use this matter to commit crimes and bring shame to Po Huan and the other two. Otherwise, even if you are Po Huan and the other two's relatives, I will personally kill you."

Ice Soul Heavenly Lord was not a petty person to begin with, and he had indeed handled the tragic deaths of the Soul Illusion Daoist Lord and his two disciples improperly, so he harbored resentment towards him.

Immediately afterwards, to avoid the relatives of the three disciples of the old Daoist Po Huan refusing the spiritual items again, he left directly.

"Father is truly blessed to have such a generous master."

"It's just a pity that my father's life was too short; he didn't get to enjoy much happiness."

"..."

As the family members of the three disciples, including the old Daoist Po Huan, watched the departing figure of the old Heavenly Lord Bing Po, they couldn't help but feel a mix of respect and sadness.

On the other side, after leaving the cenotaph, Ice Soul Heavenly Lord headed to Frost Mountain, the important sect grounds of the Frost Immortal Sect.

This place has an extremely rare, old-fashioned, sixth-tier, low-grade ice-attribute spiritual vein.

Moreover, due to the countless resources that the predecessors of the Frost Immortal Sect have spent to nurture it, its foundation is quite strong, and it is not far from the middle grade of the sixth rank.

As a result, the ice-attribute spiritual energy in this place is extremely concentrated.

It can even allow three or four cultivators who practice ice-attribute techniques to cultivate in seclusion at the same time.

Moreover, upon closer examination, this place is considered to be the most powerful spiritual vein in the entire Frost Immortal Sect.

At the same time, the master of this place is also a descendant of the sect leader of the Frost Immortal Sect.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary Ice Frost Immortal Sect's main lineage and branches to even get close to it.

Even on ordinary days, it is difficult for cultivators from the main lineage and its branches to enter this place.

"It has been decades since I last came here. The spiritual energy here is indeed much richer."

"If I had such a treasure land to cultivate in my early years, I might have reached the peak of the early stage of Void Refinement much earlier, and I might even have been able to try to break through to the middle stage of Void Refinement once or twice."

Looking at everything before him, the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Junior Brother Bingpo, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long."

"Have you properly handed over the miscellaneous affairs of the Ice Soul lineage?"

At this moment, atop Frost Mountain, the Frost Sect Master, seated at a small tea table, was greeting the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord.

In addition, he is currently having tea and discussing Taoism with Bingxuan Tianjun here.

"Ice Soul... Senior Brother."

At this moment, Bingxuan Tianjun also spoke coldly to Bingpo Laotianjun as usual.

"Bingxuan...Junior Brother."

When the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord saw him greet him, the corner of his mouth twitched. If it weren't for the presence of the Frost Sect Master, he might have started fighting with him as before. Instead, he stiffly greeted him back.

Immediately afterwards, he began chatting with the old sect master of Frost, as if Ice Profound Heavenly Lord did not exist.

After he finished recounting the miscellaneous affairs of the Ice Soul lineage and handing over the reins, the old sect master of Frost was relieved and invited him to the tea table, pouring him a cup of fine tea.

"By the way, junior brother, did you bring the compensation we gave to the Ice Profound lineage?"

After chatting for a while, the Frost Sect Master asked the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord a question.

"nature."

Although the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord was somewhat reluctant to provide compensation, he was genuinely afraid that if he didn't, the Ice Profound lineage would secretly target the Ice Soul lineage.

Moreover, he is currently being watched over by the Frost Sect Master.

If such a bad thing were to happen, I'm afraid he would be unable to help in time.

He did not want to see such a thing happen.

He then immediately handed over the large amount of compensation that the former Frost Sect Master had instructed him to give to Ice Profound Heavenly Lord.

There are many spiritual items among them, including some sixth-order spiritual items.

Such a spiritual object is even comparable to the profits generated by the Ice Soul lineage over several decades.

Therefore, the compensation they are offering is quite substantial.

Even the Ice Mystic Heavenly Lord couldn't help but be somewhat tempted upon seeing it.

'This compensation is barely enough to make up for the lives of the few promising talents my Bingxuan lineage has lost in recent years, and there will be some left over to compensate the families of those promising talents.'

Seeing this, Bingxuan Tianjun secretly made plans.

"Senior brother...you're too kind."

"Furthermore, senior brother, rest assured, now that you have provided compensation, we should put aside our animosity."

"But that doesn't mean... I've forgotten about this matter. If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Immediately afterwards, he cupped his hands in greeting to the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord.

"You don't appreciate kindness..."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord frowned immediately, and even wanted to curse, but was interrupted by the Frost Sect Master.

"Junior brother, you must admit your mistakes."

The old Frost Sect Master glared at him.

"Row."

"Furthermore, my Ice Soul lineage will never again attack your lineage. As for your lineage taking away my Ice Soul lineage's benefits according to the sect's rules, my Ice Soul lineage will simply go with the flow and will no longer resist."

"However... if your lineage goes too far and intends to drain the resources of my Ice Soul lineage, my Ice Soul lineage will fight to the death."

Not to be outdone, the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord revealed his bottom line.

"Junior Brother Bingpo, rest assured, I will keep an eye on this matter. As long as I am here, your Bingpo lineage will not fall. In addition, I can also promise that as long as your Bingpo lineage produces good talents, the sect will give priority to supporting your Bingpo lineage's good talents in cultivation."

The Frost Sect Master then took the opportunity to reassure the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord.

"I feel relieved to hear your words, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord felt slightly relieved.

Afterwards, the Ice Soul Celestial Lord secluded himself in a cave within Frost Mountain for cultivation. 'After this incident, I believe the development of my Ice Profound lineage can proceed more steadily.'

This was, in a way, a pleasant surprise.

'After all, the main conflict between me and Senior Brother Bingpo this time is because of that Guest Elder Ling from my Bingxuan lineage…'

"Upon closer examination, that Guest Elder Ling is indeed a blessing to our Ice Profound lineage. Without him, I fear our Ice Profound lineage would have found it difficult to reach such special conditions with the Ice Soul lineage."

Upon seeing this, Bingxuan Tianjun's face showed a rare hint of joy.

He truly hadn't expected that the matter of protecting Ling Pengyun would turn out this way.

After all, who knows if the Ice Soul Heavenly Lord was fearless and risked his life during the previous conflict?

Furthermore, the Ice Profound lineage's greatest enemy in the past was, after all, the Ice Soul lineage.

With the Ice Soul lineage agreeing to a more peaceful future, the development pressure on the Ice Profound lineage will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

However, Bingxuan Tianjun did not let his guard down because of this.

After all, in recent years, as the Ice Soul lineage has gradually declined, the share of profits held by the major sects in its hands has long been divided up by the Ice Profound lineage and other major sects.

Indirectly, this leaves them with a small share of the sect's profits.

Furthermore, since some of their assets need to be left behind, the amount of sect benefits they can actually take away is very limited.

Moreover, the other main branches of the sect have also been eyeing the share of sect profits that can be taken away.

Upon closer examination, it seems unlikely that the Ice Profound lineage will be able to obtain any significant benefits from the Ice Soul lineage.

If the Bingxuan lineage wants to develop rapidly, the only way is to accumulate more benefits.

Therefore, attempting to divide the interests held by the Ice Soul lineage is merely an appetizer for the development of the Ice Profound lineage.

It's even possible that in the future, the Bingxuan lineage will inevitably clash indirectly with other main branches of the sect due to interests and development.

Those main lineages are much stronger than the weakened Ice Soul lineage, and they not only have young Void Refining cultivators.

Moreover, they each have at least two or three Nascent Soul cultivators under their command who have already cultivated the foundation of Void Refinement. As long as the time is right, their promising talents can try to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

This matter is quite unusual.

Therefore, even the powerful Ice Profound Heavenly Lord doesn't dare to provoke them casually.

After all, once they have successfully cultivated new Void Refinement cultivators, they will each have at least two Void Refinement cultivators in charge.

Such a foundation is comparable to that of some ordinary Void Refinement forces.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, cultivating another new Nascent Soul cultivator is of paramount importance.

"Among the promising talents of my Ice Profound lineage, the guest elder Ling Pengyun possesses the most unique abilities. After all, he is not only skilled in both spiritual plants and weapon crafting, but his strength is also suspected to be extremely formidable. If he can reach the Void Refinement stage, he might be of great help to my sect."

'Furthermore, if he were to use this cultivation to advance both the cultivation of spiritual plants and the art of weapon crafting to the sixth rank, he could completely benefit the entire Ice Profound lineage.'

'Therefore, if he can condense a foundation for Void Refinement, we can prioritize supporting him in his attempt to break through to the Void Refinement stage.'

As Bingxuan Tianjun watched the departing figure of Bingpo Laotianjun, the image of Ling Pengyun involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he secretly made some calculations.

Immediately afterwards, he used a communication talisman to inform Elder Bing Sui about the Ice Soul lineage's cessation of activity.

He also asked him to tell Ling Pengyun that there was no need to worry about killing the three members of the Ice Soul lineage, Po Huan and his disciple.

at the same time.

Outside the sect's old sixth-grade low-level Frost Mountain.

'Bingxuan is truly capable. I never expected that he would not only handle the matter of the Refining Void Heavenly Lord of the Ice Soul lineage intending to avenge Po Huan and his two disciples, but also use the power of the sect to suppress the Ice Soul lineage single-handedly…'

"With him presiding over our Ice Profound lineage, it is truly a blessing for our Ice Profound lineage."

'Moreover, if my ancestors of the Ice Profound lineage knew of his extraordinary feat today, they would probably crawl out of their coffins.'

The Ice Marrow Elder of the Ice Profound lineage, who had been anxiously awaiting news of Ice Profound Heavenly Lord, looked at the information in the communication talisman in his hand and was immediately incredulous, his face beaming with joy.

After all, in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, even though the Ice Soul lineage, an old and established Void Refinement lineage, was gradually declining, it was still an extremely powerful existence.

Moreover, both the Ice Soul lineage and the Ice Profound lineage only have one Void Refinement cultivator.

However, the number of those below the Void Refinement level is much greater than that of the Ice Profound lineage, after all, the Ice Profound lineage has only risen to prominence a few thousand years ago.

Upon closer examination, it is clear that Bingxuan Tianjun was able to suppress the Bingpo lineage solely through his own power.

This incident also made Elder Bing Sui realize once again the benefits brought by the formidable strength of high-level cultivators like Bing Xuan Tian Jun.

"Thinking back to when my Ice Profound lineage was still a branch of the Nascent Soul stage, we could only rely on the major lineages, essentially surviving in the cracks."

'Moreover, when Bingxuan first entered the Nascent Soul stage, my Bingxuan lineage suffered a great deal of suppression...'

'But times have changed... With Bingxuan's strength and his achievement in suppressing the Bingpo lineage, even the other main branches of the sect wouldn't dare to underestimate him...'

Elder Bing Sui felt a sense of pride and relief. He was also even more grateful that he had taken in Bing Xuan Tianjun, a promising talent, for the Bing Xuan lineage in his early years and had carefully nurtured him.

After all, if it weren't for this action, even if Ice Mystic Heavenly Lord had become a talent through the help of a spiritual body awakened later in life, he probably wouldn't have helped the Ice Mystic lineage in this way.

Indirectly, the Bingxuan lineage would not be as prosperous as it is today.

Immediately afterwards, he relayed all the information he had learned to Ling Pengyun, who was far away outside the sect, and told him that he could still travel outside without worry.

Of course, returning to the sect would be the safest option.

……

the other side.

Beyond the vast and boundless territory of the Frost Immortal Sect.

In a secluded, dense forest.

'Were the three cultivators I killed earlier the three disciples of the Ice Soul lineage, Master Po Huan?'

"Moreover, this matter even provoked the intervention of the Ice Soul Elder, the Ice Soul Clan, who even sparred privately with my Ice Profound Senior, and even attracted the attention of the sect's former sect master?"

'This commotion is truly enormous. Fortunately, Senior Bingxuan is reliable; otherwise, I fear I would have had to expend countless efforts to escape the trouble caused by killing Po Huan and his two disciples.'

"Secondly, with a reliable Refining Void Heavenly Lord like Senior Bingxuan protecting me, things are quite comfortable. And I truly didn't expect that I would receive a reward of Rank 5 Contribution Points from the Bingxuan lineage for killing those three."

'Actually, it's quite generous. And judging from this incident, he probably intended to do what the Ice Soul lineage did, to kill some of their powerful members.'

'Besides, no matter what, joining the Ice Profound lineage was the right choice.'

Ling Pengyun secretly rejoiced and felt more favorably and grateful to Bingxuan Tianjun, but he was also a little scared.

He even secretly decided that he should be more careful about engaging in killing in places like the Qingxia Realm, where there are many powerful people.

After all, it's possible that killing one person might attract the old monster.

'This place, teeming with powerful individuals, is truly difficult to navigate.'

'Furthermore, I need to reach the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible. After all, by then, I will be considered to be among the top-tier experts in this world. Even if I encounter this situation again, I will have the opportunity to resolve the trouble on my own without relying on the help of a powerhouse like Senior Bingxuan.'

Ling Pengyun couldn't help but complain for a while, and then made up his mind.

Subsequently, he considered how to resolve the problem posed by the Ice Soul lineage.

Moreover, he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't plan to return to the sect immediately. Instead, he summoned his fifth-grade superior-quality flying boat and continued heading towards the territory of the Hunyuan lineage, a rogue cultivator force. (End of Chapter)
