Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 167: The Betrayal of the Ice Ancestral Talisman

Tianhuang Plain, located at the border of Taiqing Territory, is a relatively large plain. Unlike the chaotic places like the Blood Rock Land at the border of Dao Zong, Tianhuang Plain is relatively peaceful.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Three streams of light flew out quickly over the Tianhuang Plain, and the strong wind they stirred up pushed the ancient forest below to the sides.

Lin Xuan stared at the end of the ancient plain. There, there was a high peak rising from the ground. Standing at the end of the ancient plain, that dangerous peak was the destination of their trip.

According to Ling Qingzhu, the thief who sneaked in was chased all the way here by her, and was unable to escape because of the spatial suppression of the isolated peak.

"Senior Sister, can you sense the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman?"

Ling Qingzhu turned to look at Ying Huanhuan and asked, however, facing Ling Qingzhu's question, Ying Huanhuan's expression became a little solemn.

"I can't sense any aura. In fact, it's normal not to sense any aura. When I escaped into reincarnation, I left behind the Tianmen Guarding Ancestral Talisman. Unless someone takes the Ancestral Talisman away, the space is sealed and there is no way the aura of the Ancestral Talisman can leak out."

Ying Huanhuan explained softly that it was completely certain that the Ice Ancestral Talisman was a conspiracy of the Demon Prison, but just as Tian Yuanzi and others had planned, an ancestral talisman could not be abandoned.

Especially after knowing that the Demon Emperor once obtained the practice method of the Supreme Induction Jue, they could not let the Ancestral Talisman fall into the hands of the Demon Prison. Otherwise, who knows if after a long time, when the Heavenly King Palace awakens, will they be able to deal with the Ancestral Talisman?

Now, the top strong men of the Demon Prison have not awakened yet, and all they need to face are the minions of the Demon Prison such as Yuanmen.

"Sir, there is a special chill hidden ahead!"

Fu Zhu suddenly spoke up, causing Lin Xuan's eyes to narrow slightly, and his heart to become a little colder. It seemed that this time, the Demon Prison was really spending a lot of money and was actually willing to use an ancestral talisman as a bargaining chip.

"go!"

After a light shout, Lin Xuan took the lead, sped up and rushed towards the mountain.

When approaching the mountain, Lin Xuan and the other two could clearly feel that the space around them had become thicker and their speed had dropped significantly.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain. Standing on the peak, looking out at the endless mountain range behind the peak, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

There is a very obvious space crack above the mountain range. Faintly, there are gusts of cold air coming out of the space crack, and this mountain is like a barrier, isolating all the breath outside.

"This is a specially constructed space channel. If I am not mistaken, the place it connects to is not the East Xuan Territory, but the North Xuan Territory!"

Ying Huanhuan said softly, her originally pitch-black pupils were now completely dyed an ice-blue color. This was not the revival of the power in her body, but the influence of the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman, which aroused the comprehension of the power of the Ice Ancestral Talisman deep in her soul.

As she spoke, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but smile a little more, because she knew that to build such a space channel was not an easy task. Even for the Palace of Seven Kings, it was not so easy. What's more, the strength of the Palace of Seven Kings was far from recovered.

"This is also good news for us. Without the intervention of the Seven Kings Palace, it is just a Yuanmen, and the threat is limited."

For Ying Huanhuan, this was indeed the case. Although she could not defeat the strong men in the Wheel-Turning Realm now, it would be no problem to delay a few people at the critical moment.

As long as we can hold Tian Yuanzi and the others back for a while, it will be enough once the reinforcements arrive.

"Come on, let's go in!"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He felt that things might not be that simple. No one knew what the purpose of Yuanmen was. Maybe, this ancestral talisman might just be used to deceive people. But no matter what, he had to get the ancestral talisman first.

With a tap of his toes, Lin Xuan, along with Fu Zhu and Zhu Yan, turned into a stream of light and poured into a space channel.

Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu behind him frowned slightly at Lin Xuan's inexplicable anxiety. After looking at each other, they nodded slightly, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. They also turned into two streams of light and drilled into the two space passages.

After the three people went in, the sky above the mountains became quiet. It was not until a while later that a black-robed figure appeared again.

After sensing the three auras gradually dissipating, the corners of the Seventh Prince's mouth couldn't help but smile a little more. Then, as if he thought of something, his face turned slightly cold and he snorted.

"Humph, a bunch of trash, they are indeed inferior creatures, they only know how to fight among themselves!"

However, soon, a smile appeared on the face of the Seventh Prince again. He slowly stretched out his hand, with a confident look in his eyes, and chuckled and talked to himself.

"It doesn't matter if I give you the Ice Ancestral Talisman. What we need is never to defeat you. The great emperor will eventually descend on this holy land and guide you, a group of despicable creatures, onto the holy path!"

There seemed to be a hint of fanaticism in his words.

After finishing speaking, a hint of complacency flashed in the eyes of the Seventh Prince. Then, he waved his hands successively, and special energy surged out from his hands, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Since you like the Ice Ancestral Talisman, then stay with it for a while!"

……

There was a sudden change in front of his eyes. Before Lin Xuan stepped out of the space, he could feel an astonishing chill invading his body.

When the light in front of him came on again, Lin Xuan saw that there was a snowy field in front of him. Endless cold wind blew up fine white ice and snow like sand, rushing in the air.

Shocking chills came from all directions, making Lin Xuan feel a tingling sensation on his skin.

Even Fu Zhu and Zhu Yan, who were only an inch tall and hiding in Lin Xuan's clothes, began to shiver. The cold air seemed to make them, as spiritual beings, somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hiss! Sir, what the hell is this place? Why is it so cold?"

Zhu Yan's teeth began to chatter. In fact, Zhu Yan could resist such cold air, but the premise was that it would consume a lot of energy. However, it was already in a state of lingering, so it was naturally impossible to consume energy on this. "This should be the North Xuan Territory, right? But it's much colder than in ancient times!"

Fu Zhu looked at the endless snowfield with a curious look in his eyes. Zhu Yan, who was standing beside him, grabbed his collar and took a look for a few seconds, then couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Four-horned Deer, didn't you work under Xuanwu in the past? Why are you also so afraid of the cold?"

"How can they be the same? Lord Xuanwu has been sleeping all year round. Although I have been taking care of the Northern Territory, how could the Northern Territory be so cold back then?"

Fu Zhu glanced at Zhu Yan sideways. This stupid guy really has a short brain. The Northern Region back then, now the Northern Xuan Region, has already been integrated into Xuanwu's body. Not only is it even colder, but this is also the place where the Ice Ancestral Talisman is located, so it is naturally even colder.

Besides, that was the past. Back then, it was the most powerful beast among the four sacred beasts. How could it be afraid of a little cold?
But now, it is just an awakened spirit. How can it resist the cold invasion of the Ice Ancestral Talisman which is the origin of Lord Xuanwu?
While they were bickering, Lin Xuan had already taken his steps, walking towards a certain direction, step by step.

In the cold wind, a white dress was rustling, and the exposed skin turned red as soon as it came in, then quickly turned into blue, and later, it turned into a light ice blue.

Even though the cold wind was biting and even penetrated into his soul, Lin Xuan did not stop his steps. He still walked towards a certain direction unwaveringly.

But in fact, even Lin Xuan himself didn't know what direction he was heading to. It was just that his intuition guided him to go in that direction.

……

On the other side, after Ying Huanhuan entered this space, a look of emotion flashed across her eyes. Since ancient times, after leaving behind the Ice Ancestral Talisman, she entered the cycle of reincarnation under the protection of her teacher.

After many years, Ying Huanhuan once again felt the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman, and it was still so kind and familiar.

After just a quick glance, Ying Huanhuan quickly rushed in a certain direction.

Although this space is quite special and the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman seems to be perfectly integrated into this snowy field, for Ying Huanhuan, the aura of the Ice Ancestral Talisman could not be concealed from her from the moment she entered this space.

But in just a moment, a huge ice-blue altar appeared in Ying Huanhuan's sight.

But Ying Huanhuan, who was originally on her way quickly, suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on the woman in white dress on the altar.

It was a huge hexagonal altar, with the center of the altar sixty feet and six feet away from each of the sharp corners. The ice-blue altar seemed to be paved with an unknown ice-blue stone, blending in with the surrounding snowfields. It was difficult to see clearly from a distance, and only when you got close could you detect something unusual.

There were no icicles or stone pillars around the altar. There was only a snow-white stone platform about three feet six inches high in the middle of the altar.

At this moment, in front of the stone platform, the woman in white dress was standing quietly with her eyes closed. On the stone platform, an ice-blue ancient rune was faintly flickering.

Most people thought that it was just the power of the Ancestral Talisman flickering, but Ying Huanhuan, the Lord of Ice, could sense a hint of excitement from the Ancestral Talisman of Ice.

Obviously, the Ice Ancestor Talisman was happy. Why was he happy? Of course, it was because he met Ling Qingzhu!

Ying Huanhuan gnashed her teeth for a while, but soon her expression became a little strange because she discovered something -

It seemed that Ling Qingzhu had not yet experienced the test of the ancestral talisman. After all, in such a short time, even if Ling Qingzhu was fast, it was impossible for her to pass the test of the ancestral talisman.

However, the Ancestor of Ice was particularly intimate with Ling Qingzhu, and even felt happy because of her proximity. Ying Huanhuan could only think of one reason - that was, the Ancestor of Ice seemed to mistake Ling Qingzhu for her!

Thinking of this, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but recall the special training session in Linyuan Peak. She obtained the Supreme Power from Ling Qingzhu, and Ling Qingzhu obtained a lot of the Ice Lord's training insights from her.

Even Ling Qingzhu's soul was tainted with her scent, and of course, her soul was also tainted with Ling Qingzhu's scent.

So, did the fellow with the Ice Ancestor Talisman mistake Ling Qingzhu for her? After all, she had not yet revived the energy in her body, and there was no trace of the Ice Lord in her soul. In comparison, Ling Qingzhu did look more like the Ice Lord.

For a moment, Ying Huanhuan's expression became strange. She didn't even know what emotion she should have. She just felt a little amused.

On the one hand, Ying Huanhuan was somewhat indignant. After all, she was the real Ice Master, but her identity was "robbed" by Ling Qingzhu.

To be honest, Ying Huanhuan didn't care too much about the Ice Ancestral Talisman. It didn't matter if Ling Qingzhu got it. This was also their agreement. Whoever got it first would get it.

Moreover, in general, the two of them are fair. She can sense the location of the Ice Ancestral Talisman, and Ling Qingzhu can use the Earth Gate to sense the location of the Sky Gate and thus find the Ice Ancestral Talisman.

But the current situation made Ying Huanhuan feel uncomfortable. She didn't care that the Ice Ancestral Talisman was taken away by Ling Qingzhu, but she minded that Ling Qingzhu took the Ice Ancestral Talisman away by borrowing her identity. This made Ying Huanhuan feel like she was the one who was busy running around, but in the end, the fruit she had worked so hard to produce was eaten by Ling Qingzhu.

Especially since the two of them are rivals in love.

At this time, Ling Qingzhu, who was standing on the altar, suddenly opened her eyes. The next moment, her gaze fell on Ying Huanhuan who was standing not far away.

For a moment, an embarrassed look flashed across Ling Qingzhu's face, because she knew more than Ying Huanhuan. Ying Huanhuan had guessed it, but Ling Qingzhu clearly felt that the Ice Ancestor Talisman mistook her for the Lord of Ice.

Because, from the moment she entered this space, Ling Qingzhu could sense a force pulling her here. The space passage she originally came in from did not lead to here.

The one that Ying Huanhuan found was the closest one. The aura of the ancestral talisman at the other end of her space channel was the strongest. Normally, Ying Huanhuan would be the first person to encounter the ancestral talisman of ice.

But the mistake was that the breath deep in Ling Qingzhu's soul attracted the attention of the Ice Ancestor Talisman, and then, with the help of the power of the Heaven and Earth Gate, he directly took her over.

Moreover, just now, the Ice Ancestral Talisman had initially completed the step of recognizing its master, and the soul imprint of Ling Qingzhu was already in the ancestral talisman.

And all of this was even initiated by the Ice Ancestor Talisman, and Ling Qingzhu was completely passive in accepting it.
