Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

However, Yunping remained standing calmly in place, his eyes flashing with cold light.

That chilling light seemed to pierce the soul.

Even Fan Dongyin, who was at the peak of the Void Realm, felt a chill run down his spine.

His imposing aura was pushed back.

Fan Dongyin's tone seemed somewhat dejected, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this...?"

"It's nothing. I just want to say, let's not beat around the bush, I want to go into the Deep Ice Cave, that's all."

"Your Mightiness……"

Fan Dongyin knew she could no longer pretend not to know about the existence of the deep ice cave, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Do you know what the Deep Ice Cave is? In a sense, it is a forbidden area of ​​our Northern Ice Palace. Even if you are not a bad person, we cannot let you in casually."

"Really? So that's why you set up so many restrictions inside?"

Another crucial piece of information was revealed, and Fan Dongyin could no longer maintain her composure.

He seemed to be becoming wary of the young man before him. "How did you come to know about the restriction?"

"How I know this, does it matter?"

Yun Ping retorted to the man on the throne, while casting a mocking glance at Fan Luo Kui in front of him.

Fan Luokui, the captain of the trial team, clenched her fists, as if she wanted to tear Yun Ping to pieces.

Fan Dongyin narrowed his eyes slightly, still trying to maintain his composure, "But Your Excellency, I still maintain that the Deep Ice Cave is a forbidden area of ​​my Northern Ice Palace, and not just anyone can step into it."

"Is that so?"

Despite receiving a clear rejection, Yunping seemed completely unconcerned.

He casually took out a token from his storage ring. It was an unremarkable square token with an ancient appearance. The only thing worth noting was that the token was covered with a thin layer of ice, and beneath the ice, a large character was engraved.

【ice】

—It was the thing that Xiaozhu gave her when she met Fang Qingzhu again that day.

"This is……!"

Fan Luo Kui, who was closest to the camera, immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

She recognized the token; in fact, she had seen it more than once.

Because her mother used to wear this token on her body for a period of time.

Even her father, at this very moment, still had a token hanging from his waist, which was also engraved with the character "ice".

Yes—it's a token exclusively for the Lord of the Northern Ice Palace.

"The Frost Token... Why do you have the Frost Token?"

Fan Dongyin sprang up from his throne, staring intently at the token in the young man's hand, trying to see through the forgery.

However, he couldn't do it.

Because this icy token is real.

Not only were Fan Dongyin and his daughter stunned, but even Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan were unaware of the Ice Cold Token. They had been worried that their teacher would violently smash the palace, but now it seemed that he had indeed come prepared.

But what exactly is this so-called Frost Order?

As if sensing the confusion of his two female disciples, Yunping spoke up.

"This Frost Token is a token possessed by every successive Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace. It can only be used once, and each use serves as a death order from the first Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace, which is what is known as—"

"The opportunity for absolute command."

Holding the Ice Frost Token, Yun Ping seemed to have already confirmed his victory.

"So, what if I use this token to ask you to let us in?"

-----

A short update.

Recently, some readers have mentioned that the plot is a bit weak... Don't worry, we're about to get to the crucial part.

110. I've called the police!

The Frost Order is absolute.

The Northern Ice Palace stands in this region, turning the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles into snow, and making the Far Eastern Snowfield, famous throughout the three heavenly domains, appear in this world—from this moment on, the Ice and Cold Order exists.

No one knows who the first master of the Northern Ice Palace was. Some say it was Yin Hanxuebing, others say it was the girl chosen by Yin Hanxuebing. It's all just speculation. Perhaps it really was Yin Hanxuebing, or perhaps it really was a chosen one.

But the Ice Cold Order has long been a dead rule.

Looking back at the history of the Northern Ice Palace, each generation of palace masters possessed an Ice Frost Token, but only a handful of palace masters actually used the Ice Frost Token.

Fan Dongyin found it hard to imagine why Yunping would have such a precious Ice Frost Token, and it was also hard to imagine which palace master this Ice Frost Token belonged to.

The first image that came to his mind was Fang Qingzhu, because she was the oldest living palace master in the Northern Ice Palace. The palace masters a generation above her had long since died in some chaotic calamity.

"What's wrong? You're clearly the former Palace Master of the Northern Ice Palace, yet you shamelessly refuse to acknowledge this token?"

Yunping made no attempt to provoke Fan Dongyin with his words, as if he didn't take Fan Dongyin seriously at all.

The moment the words "shameless" were uttered, Fan Luokui, who was standing right next to him, suddenly moved.

The sparks of spiritual energy that erupted from the intense friction between her blade and scabbard, driven by her pursuit of extreme speed, blinded everyone as she swiftly slashed towards Yun Ping's vulnerable neck.

Anger—revealed on that stunningly beautiful face.

Yun Ping had already witnessed Fan Luo Kui's sword speed, and even though Fan Luo Kui was faster, quicker, and more unpredictable than before, she still didn't take the young man in front of her seriously.

They don't even deserve to be taken seriously.

hum~

The long sword hummed softly.

It was a desperate, agonizing cry of despair, the blade trapped between the index finger and thumb, unable to move an inch, unable to advance or retreat.

An indescribable, terrifying force emanated from the center of her palm, causing Fan Luokui's shoulders to tremble with anger and helplessness.

Her knife was defeated once again.

Looking at the blade casually held between Yun Ping's fingers, Fan Luo Kui seemed very unwilling, "Insulting the Palace Master like this, according to the rules of the Northern Ice Palace, is punishable by..."

Yunping completely ignored her explanation, casually flicked the blade away, and didn't even glance at Fan Luokui.

He kept his eyes fixed on Fan Dongyin, whose expression was gradually becoming abnormal, from beginning to end.

"Then, Lord of the Northern Ice Palace, may we go in? To that deep ice cave?"

Fan Dongyin glanced at Fan Luokui, whose arm was trembling slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He seemed certain that Yun Ping knew the information he was referring to, and slowly asked, "Your Excellency, are you here to find Lord Yin Hanxuebing?"

"Oh, so you're admitting it now? Weren't you being vague just now?"

Yunping looked at Fan Dongyin in surprise, his contempt almost overflowing.

Fan Dongyin maintained his composure, even though Yun Ping was completely overstepping his bounds in mocking his pretense, he still did not fly into a rage.

In a sense, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would be provoked into a rage.

—The little trick failed.

"Of course, since you've put it this way, it would be pointless for me not to answer you."

The man on the throne had an unusually calm expression, as if he had seen through Yun Ping's little trick to provoke him.

Although he did put on a good act, Yunping still caught a glint of cold light flashing across his eyes and then disappearing in an instant.

To correct myself—it seems there was no failure.

Having already achieved his goal on a psychological level, Yunping chose to go a step further and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, we're here to find Yin Hanxuebing, so what's wrong with that?"

"Although I don't understand why you want to find Lord Yin Hanxuebing... the reason I stopped you, and even went so far as to deceive you, was purely for Lord Yin Hanxuebing's safety."

"Oh?"

Yunping feigned surprise and adopted a thoughtful demeanor.

He already knew that Twenty-One was being hunted down. He guessed that the old hag Yin Hanxuebing was hiding to avoid the person who was hunting them down. Otherwise, she wouldn't have specially grafted her double pupils, which contained her power, onto Lin Yuan.

He was testing whether Fan Dongyin knew this.

"It's like this, Your Excellency—"

Seeing Yun Ping's seemingly interested expression, Fan Dongyin was taken aback. After thinking for a while, he decided to reveal this information, which wasn't particularly important to him.

"Recently, Lord Yin Hanxuebing may have encountered some unscrupulous individuals who covet her. We must temporarily protect Lord Yin Hanxuebing, which is why you mentioned the restriction earlier. The reason I repeatedly prevented you from entering the Deep Ice Cave is also because of this matter."

"Silver Frost Ice is coveted? Who would dare to covet such an ultimate?" Yun Ping glanced at him mockingly, his questioning tone undisguised. "If you're going to make up a lie, at least make it believable."

"This is real."

Fan Dongyin spoke with utmost seriousness, “In any case, this is the truth, whether you believe it or not is up to you.”

...Tsk.

They're really stubborn.

Or rather, did he see through it?

Yun Ping glanced cautiously at Fan Dongyin, who was sitting on the throne. In fact, he asked the question simply to find out the identity of the person who was chasing the Twenty-One Extremes.

Since Fan Dongyin knew of the existence of the pursuers, it was indeed possible that he knew their identities, but now it seems that he might not know.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he had sensed Yunping's thoughts and therefore deliberately concealed them.

Fan Dongyin—to get to where he is today, it is indeed as Xiaozhuzi said: he looks like a warrior, but he is very cautious at heart.

No wonder.

The young man shook his head, putting the topic aside for the time being. "Let's not talk about this for now, Palace Master. What I want to ask is, if you are really worried that we will attack Yin Hanxuebing, then why don't you send someone to accompany us inside?"

Fan Dongyin frowned, "This..."
