Several elite disciples of the Spirit Hall immediately scolded.
"Who are you? How dare you whimper here? Are you remnants of the Haotian Sect?"
"Has this guy already scavenged for treasures? Doesn't he know all of Haotian Sect's treasures are our Spirit Hall's spoils of war?"
"Haha, this woman looks quite alluring too!" someone said with a lecherous grin.
However, at the mention of Spirit Hall...
Bo Saixi abruptly turned her head.
Her face was cold, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Spirit Hall?"
"You despicable Spirit Hall scum all deserve to die!"
Bo Saixi's voice was icy and authoritative, filled with grief and rage.
With a wave of her hand, a powerful soul force erupted, instantly obliterating the disciples, leaving nothing behind.
"Ah!!"
The Spirit Hall disciples were terrified, turning to ashes before they could even speak.
Bo Saixi then looked at Tang Chen's mutilated body and sighed deeply, overwhelmed with sorrow.
Her heart ached, tears silently streaming down her face.
She gently bent down and, with trembling hands, cradled the remains of Tang Chen.
"Tang Chen, have you really left me like this?"
She whispered, her voice laden with endless sadness and pain.
Holding Tang Chen's body, her tears wetted her cheeks.
Yet she did not cry out loud. She just silently gazed at Tang Chen's face, reminiscing about their beautiful moments together.
After standing there for a long time, Bo Saixi turned and left the battlefield, still holding Tang Chen's body.
Sometime later.
At a feng shui site in an overseas base, Shui Bing'er had named it Ice God Island.
In the early morning light, a mysterious aura enveloped this serene place.
Shui Wuya finished his cultivation, sitting quietly on a meditation cushion, deep in thought.
Since the situation here had spiraled out of control, he had been living in this place for ten thousand years.
Occasionally, he would return to the present to handle Shui family matters.
"Wuyue!"
Shui Bing'er walked in softly, a hint of joy in her eyes.
"I have good news for you. I feel my power of faith has accumulated sufficiently. My next plan is to overthrow Sea God Island and assimilate those Sea God followers. This way, my power of faith will increase even more."
Shui Bing'er eagerly shared her cultivation plan with Shui Wuya.
Shui Wuya smiled slightly, "Very well, then do as you wish."
"Thank you, Wuya."
Shui Bing'er said gratefully.
"But we must not neglect the situation on the mainland. We need to keep a close watch."
Suddenly, Shui Wuya's eyes revealed a trace of concern.
He then asked Shui Bing'er to summon the eight deans of the four academies to discuss some matters.
Soon, all eight arrived.
"Ice God Lord, Patriarch Shui."
The eight respectfully greeted Shui Wuya, their demeanor solemn, expressing their reverence and admiration for the Shui Patriarch.
To these eight, Shui Wuya was a fellow clan member of Shui Bing'er and the patriarch.
And Shui Bing'er was a godly genius endorsed by the Shui family.
Having witnessed Shui Wuya's power, the eight had unwavering faith.
"Hmm?"
Shui Wuya's expression changed.
He noticed that the strength of these eight had already reached the level of Titled Douluo, and he was somewhat surprised.
Previously, only the principal and vice-principal of Tianshui Academy had been Titled Douluo.
Nowadays, the rapid advancement in the strength of these eight deans to the level of Titled Douluo surprised him.
"Bing'er, what have you been feeding them? How did they progress so quickly?" Shui Wuya asked Shui Bing'er in puzzlement.
Shui Bing'er immediately explained, "It's not about what they've eaten. Since I've been able to harness the power of faith, I've had them undergo the Ice God's divine trials to enhance their strength."
Shui Bing'er continued, explaining that among the eight deans, five had completed the fourth Ice God trial, and three had completed the third. The vice-principal's strength had reached level 91, and the principal had reached level 92. Meanwhile, the principal and vice-principal of Tianshui Academy had reached levels 95 and 94, respectively. Their power had increased rapidly.
After hearing this, Shui Wuya nodded approvingly at Shui Bing'er's actions. "Very good, Bing'er, you've done well."
He then suggested to Shui Bing'er, "To deal with Sea God Island, the two of us are enough. We don't need them. Let them go to the mainland and spread the news that the Ice God is about to descend."
Shui Wuya understood that it was essential to create a buzz early and plant the seeds in people's minds.
Star Luo Empire.
In the back garden of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the Star Luo Emperor wandered, looking into the distance. He was deeply worried, unable to hide his anxiety about the uncertain situation.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.
The person wore a black robe, with an obscured face, emanating a mysterious and powerful aura. This level of oppression indicated that the person was at least a Titled Douluo. The familiar aura was somewhat similar to a mysterious figure he had encountered before.
The Star Luo Emperor thought to himself, "Mysterious one, you've finally come."
The mysterious person approached silently, took out a letter glowing with an icy blue light, and handed it to the Star Luo Emperor.
The Emperor took the letter, carefully opened it, and read the cold text inside. As he read, his expression changed.
The letter stated, "Tang Chen has fallen, a great war is imminent. Star Luo Emperor, prepare for battle."
This news jolted the Star Luo Emperor like an electric shock. The Spirit Hall had always eyed the Star Luo Empire covetously. With the fall of the Haotian Sect, wouldn't his Star Luo Empire be next?
Prepare for battle? More like prepare for death!
The Star Luo Emperor was terrified but maintained caution. He respectfully asked the mysterious person, "Who exactly are you? It's been many days since our last encounter, and I've been sleepless."
The mysterious person gazed deeply at the Emperor and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you've mistaken me for someone else. I am merely a messenger of the Ice God, sent to deliver important information."
"The Ice God!?"
The Star Luo Emperor was shocked. This was the first time he learned that the mysterious person's identity was related to a deity.
He could hardly believe it. "Are you talking about the legendary deity?"
"Indeed."
The Ice God's messenger cut off his wild thoughts decisively.
Instantly, the Star Luo Emperor's face lit up with joy. If the legendary Ice God could assist, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't need to fear the Spirit Hall!
This news ignited a flame in his heart, filling him with immense excitement. He turned to the Ice God's messenger and respectfully said, "Honorable messenger, please convey to the Ice God that I, the Star Luo Emperor, will uphold my promise and fight against the Spirit Hall to the end. However, our empire lacks strength. Once the war begins, we will need the Ice God's and your support."
"We will."
The messenger nodded slightly and vanished, leaving the Star Luo Emperor alone in the garden, deep in thought.
