The entire venue fell into silence as they watched Hou Qin turn into an ice sculpture.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep-seated fear, even the Nascent Soul and Soul Emergence stage experts felt a hint of dread in their hearts.
Such terrifying Ice Attribute Spiritual Power was something they had never heard of.
"Junior Brother’s ice attribute is truly terrifying, killing a Golden Core stage practitioner with such ease." Zuo Qingyang felt a storm surge within his heart.
"A realm at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, using powerful ice attributes to kill someone at the Middle Stage of Golden Core; if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe it." Bai Tu swallowed his fear.
Others didn’t know Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation, they all thought it was at the Golden Core stage.
Only Zuo Qingyang and the others knew very well that Gu Chenfeng was merely at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
For someone at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment to easily take down someone at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, it shows just how terrifying Gu Chenfeng’s ice attribute is.
Celestial Monarch Xing glanced at Gu Chenfeng, silently thinking, "Gu Chenfeng didn’t deliberately use his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, yet the ice attribute silently spread from within Hou Qin, he was clearly well-prepared."
"As someone at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, he couldn’t even detect the ice attribute within him; it seems that as an Elder, I underestimated Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute Spiritual Power."
"This terrifying level of Ice Attribute Spiritual Power likely can only be rivaled by Wan’Er Saintess’s ice attribute, thanks to the Immortal for bringing such a prodigious talent to our Ancient Divine Sect."
Although shocked by Gu Chenfeng’s fearsome ice attribute, Celestial Monarch Xing was more pleased to have Gu Chenfeng as a disciple.
What Celestial Monarch Xing didn’t know was that even Wan’Er’s ice attribute was suppressed by Gu Chenfeng’s ice attribute.
At this moment, Hou Qin had completely lost his breath.
Gu Chenfeng snapped his fingers lightly, and the ice-encased Hou Qin disappeared in an instant, turning into countless light fragments and vanishing into nothing.
Gu Chenfeng casually collected Hou Qin’s Storage Ring as well.
The Storage Ring of the Young Master of the Hou Family, let alone other treasures, would surely contain numerous Crystal Stones.
"Qin’er!" The severely wounded Hou Yuanshan cried out in grief.
But it was all too late.
Looking at the heartbroken Hou Yuanshan, Celestial Monarch Xing said coldly, "If you don’t discipline your grandson, eventually someone else will. The fact that I didn’t annihilate your Hou Family is already merciful."
"I am not one to exterminate fully, but I hope your Hou Family will properly teach the younger generations, otherwise extermination is inevitable."
Neither Hou Yuanshan nor the elders of the Hou Family dared to make a sound.
After all, they almost killed the top prodigy of the Ancient Divine Sect, the gravity of such an act is unimaginable.
It was already a blessing that the Hou Family managed to avoid calamity.
Celestial Monarch Xing waved his hand, and a spirit ship appeared out of thin air above Celestial Star City.
Celestial Monarch Xing smiled calmly, saying, "Let’s go back to the Sect."
He waved again, and the group vanished and reappeared on the spirit ship in the blink of an eye.
None from the Hou Family dared to stop them, and Celestial Star City remained in dead silence.
Only after the spirit ship flew far away did the people of Celestial Star City start to come back to their senses from their fear.
"Remember what they look like, never provoke disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect!"
"Especially that Gu Chenfeng with the Ice Attribute, never provoke him."
"Offending the Ancient Divine Sect, no matter if the Divine Moon Palace supports the Hou Family, they would be helpless, as the Divine Moon Palace would not dare to make enemies with the Ancient Divine Sect."
Even though Celestial Monarch Xing and the others had already left, the people of Celestial Star City were still terrified.
Celestial Monarch Xing wore a face full of joyful smiles, asking with a laugh, "Did everything get resolved in the Imperial City? Tell me about it."
Zuo Qingyang respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the Great Elder, everything went very smoothly. Those three were invited by the Wang Family of the Imperial City, with the intention of seizing the Celestial Technique."
"Uncle-Master Tian Kui single-handedly suppressed the entire Wang Family, initially intending to eradicate them, but the Great Elder of the Su Family intervened and managed to pacify Uncle-Master Tian Kui with half a pot of wine. Later, the Wang Family offered a Millennium Ice Soul Fruit as compensation."
"Oh? A Millennium Ice Soul Fruit?" Celestial Monarch Xing suddenly became delighted, immensely excited, "Quick, show it to the Great Elder."
The Millennium Ice Soul Fruit was precisely the treasure Ling Qiushui wanted, wasn’t it?
Zuo Qingyang opened his palm, and the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit appeared out of thin air, its pure and immense Ice Attribute Energy quickly spreading outward.
"It truly is a Millennium Ice Soul Fruit! And at least three thousand years old! Such a treasure is a rare find." Celestial Monarch Xing was overwhelming with excitement, his hands trembling as he took the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit.
Finally, the first condition set by Ling Qiushui was fulfilled.
After gazing at it for a while, Celestial Monarch Xing stored the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit into his Storage Ring.
Eyeing Zuo Qingyang and the others, he smiled lightly, saying, "Tell me about the Ouyang Family situation, how did the Lin Family get involved?" Thɪs chapter is updated by ⓝovelFire.net
Zuo Qingyang respectfully replied, "Great Elder, Ouyang Chu provoked first. I had no quarrel with him, but he was relentless until Junior Brother intervened and made him furious."
"In the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Lin Yan was domineering and snatched the battle armor that Second Junior Brother had his eyes on. Afterwards, Ouyang Chu and Lin Yan started a fight outside the Artifact Refining Pavilion. Ouyang Chu sent six people at the Golden Core stage to attempt to kill us."
"Luckily, the Artifact Refining Pavilion dispatched strong experts to escort and fend off the Ouyang Family’s experts, giving us a chance to escape, otherwise we might not have made it back."
"I see." Celestial Monarch Xing frowned coldly, "What an audacious Ouyang Family, daring to lay a hand on the disciples of my Ancient Divine Sect, they clearly hold no regard for the Ancient Divine Sect!"
Liu Qingqing then smiled smugly, saying, "Great Elder, we didn’t suffer a loss, though. The experts of the Artifact Refining Pavilion severely injured three of the Golden Core stage from the Ouyang Family, and Junior Brother took the opportunity to kill them. We got a share of the Crystal Stones from their Storage Rings."
"Well killed." Celestial Monarch Xing said coldly, "If Ouyang Chu dares to go for the kill, next time you encounter him, kill him if you can. This Elder would like to see if the Ouyang Family dares to be at odds with the Ancient Divine Sect."
Hearing this, Zuo Qingyang and the others were extremely astonished.
Celestial Monarch Xing often used to remind them not to cause trouble outside, why the change today?
"Great Elder, do you mean it?" Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but ask.
"What, you think I’m joking?" Celestial Monarch Xing replied gruffly, "Are we supposed to only act after they’ve killed us? Since when did the Ancient Divine Sect become so cowardly?"
"Alas," Zuo Qingyang said with a helpless smile, "I was worried about punishment from the Sect Leader and Elders. Had I known, I should have killed Ouyang Chu, that opportunity won’t come again."
At that time, with no other strong adversaries present, Zuo Qingyang indeed had a chance to kill the gravely injured Ouyang Chu.
What a missed opportunity.
"Punishment, my foot." Celestial Monarch Xing said coldly, "Forget about the Ouyang Family, even if it’s the Su Family, kill them without hesitation! Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Great Elder!" Zuo Qingyang and the others answered respectfully.
Gu Chenfeng then laughed, "Senior Brother, that Ouyang Chu guy won’t give up easily, we’ll have another chance to kill him. The next time we encounter him, it will be his end."
