Twists and Turns, a Peerless Beauty

"You lowly servant, I'm here. Are you ready to die?"

With this loud shout, a powerful pressure descended upon Cold Water City.

Everyone in the city felt a sudden heaviness, as if a Da Shan was pressing down on their minds, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Those in the Innate Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm who had come specifically to watch the spectacle were even more terrified.

They knew that Golden Core True Person were incredibly powerful, but they never expected that their mere aura would be so terrifying.

It made their hands and feet tremble and their minds shake.

With just a wisp of aura, he could suppress an entire city; the power of Golden Core cultivator was truly well-deserved! "He really is Golden Core Realm."

Lu Qing, who was in the private room, raised an eyebrow as he felt the oppressive aura.

He exuded a gentle aura, protecting Xiao Yan and Xiao Li and shielding them from the oppressive aura.

He then cast an invisibility spell to hide himself and Xiao Yan, and led her to the top of the restaurant.

The restaurant he chose was one of the most famous in Cold Water City.

Its height makes it one of the tallest buildings in the city, only slightly shorter than the massive Ice and Snow Palace in the city center, making it an excellent vantage point for watching the battle.

"Brother, that person looks fierce. Is a fight about to break out?"

Xiao Yan had naturally heard the murderous shout just now, so she asked about it.

"We don't know yet. Let's stay here for a while and see if we can witness a good show," Lu Qing said with a smile.

Okay~

Although the person who just spoke seemed very powerful, Xiao Yan never felt scared as long as her brother was there.

Moreover, although the person in the sky had a powerful aura, he was far inferior to the two bad guys who attacked the village that day.

After comforting the little girl, Lu Qing looked towards the city center.

Above the enormous Cold Water Palace, a figure stood seemingly out of thin air.

The powerful aura emanating from him caused the clouds and mist within a radius of several miles to retreat.

It was clear that those Martial Artist had been discussing the Eternal Regret Sect Master.

To Lu Qing's surprise, the figure was dressed in a red brocade robe, had a noble appearance, and was full of vigor.

It does differ quite a bit from the phrase "eternal regret".

He had originally thought that someone who could create a force named "Eternal Regret" must have some sorrow or bitterness about them.

Out of curiosity, Lu Qing activated his Supernatural Ability and looked at the person.

Just as Lu Qing was using his Supernatural Ability to investigate, the Eternal Regret Sect saw that the Cold Water Palace below had not responded for a long time, and immediately sneered.

"You're too scared to accept the challenge, huh? Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, a ball of flame suddenly appeared in his hand and quickly condensed and compressed.

As the flames condensed and compressed, their color gradually changed from red to cyan.

The powerful energy emanating from the flames brought a touch of warmth to the frigid Cold Water City.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spine.

Just how powerful is the flame in that figure's hand that can raise the temperature of Cold Water City?

"You lowly servant, if you don't come out, I'll burn down Cold Water City and destroy the foundation of your Cold Water Palace!"

The Eternal Regret Sect Master, holding the ball of Azure Flame, shouted in a cold voice.

"What! The burning of Cold Water City?"

Upon hearing this, the people below were immediately taken aback and panicked.

No one doubted whether the Eternal Regret Sect Master could do such a thing, because just by looking at the ball of flame in his hand, everyone could feel the terrifying power contained within it.

"That's ruthless?"

Lu Qing was also a little surprised when he heard this.

What surprised him even more was the note that appeared on the body of the Eternal Regret Sect Master.

Li Changbo: Eternal Regret Sect Master, a man of forbearance, eccentric and unpredictable nature.

[Cultivation Level: Low Grade Golden Core, Initial Stage of the Golden Core Realm.]

[Due to forcibly refining too many Spirit Stone to boost cultivation in a short period, the foundation is unstable and the potential is limited.]

[Possessing a flawed but Exotic Treasure allows for rapid advancement in cultivation.]

[This challenge to the Cold Water Palace is ostensibly to avenge his wife and children, but he has ulterior motives.]

After glancing at it a few times, he understood.

"So that's how it is. You used the excuse of avenging your wife and children, but you actually had other motives."

He sensed that the Eternal Regret Sect Master's demeanor and appearance did not seem like someone with such deep-seated hatred.

Sure enough, there was more to it than met the eye.

but...

Lu Qing paused on one of the notes.

"He's refined too many Spirit Stone... which means this guy has a lot of Spirit Stone on him?"

A strange look suddenly appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.

However, he did not act immediately.

He wanted to see how the Cold Water Palace would respond to such provocation and threats.

As one of the Four Great Secret Realms, surely they can't even handle a Low Grade Golden Core who has just entered the Golden Core Realm?

Just as Cold Water City was thrown into chaos, a clear, cold voice finally rang out from the magnificent ice palace.

"Li Changbo, do you really have to be so aggressive?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Qing was taken aback. "The Palace Master of the Cold Water Palace is a woman? And judging from this voice, she doesn't sound like an old woman."

Of course, Lu Qing would not judge a person's age based on their voice.

After all, for powerful cultivators, each breakthrough to a higher realm brings about a major transformation in their bodies, and it's even possible to rejuvenate.

"You lowly servant, you've finally come out! I thought you'd stay hidden in that dead man's ice palace and wouldn't dare to respond!"

Li Changbo, the Eternal Regret Sect Master, sneered.

The flames on his hands did not dissipate.

"Li Changbo, you are indeed impressive for overcoming obstacles, successfully Tribulation Transcendence, and achieving the Golden Core realm."

This challenge is over; I, the Cold Water Palace, concede defeat.

That cool, clear voice spoke softly.

These words shocked the entire Cold Water City once again.

The fight hasn't even started yet, and the Cold Water Palace, one of the Four Great Secret Realms, has already admitted defeat? "Admit defeat? Did you think it would be so easy? It's not that simple!"

However, upon hearing this, Li Changbo continued to sneer.

"You lowly servant, have you forgotten how your Cold Water Palace forced my wife and children to their deaths? Today, either you fight me to the death, or I will burn Cold Water City down."

"Let all the people of your Cold Water Palace in this city be buried with my tragically deceased wife and children!"

"Should we be buried with his wife and children?"

"Has the Eternal Regret Sect Master become so heartless and insane?!"

"Run!"

As Li Changbo's murderous words fell, the entire Cold Water City was plunged into even greater chaos.

Many martial arts experts have begun to regret coming to watch this spectacle.

Who could have imagined that the Eternal Regret Sect Master would become so heartless and insane, Golden Core Realm cultivator, would actually want the lives of innocent people to accompany his wife and children who had been dead for who knows how long.

"Li Changbo, don't push your luck!"

The Cold Voice in the ice palace had become much colder. "Since you insist on bringing this up again, then let's have a proper discussion today."

Have you forgotten that you drove your wife and children to their deaths?

Upon hearing this, the previously chaotic Cold Water City fell silent.

They looked at the figure in the sky.

Judging from this, there seems to be more to the story behind the death of this wife and children?

"Bullshit!" Li Changbo roared in anger. "You clearly forced my wife and children to their deaths! You vile woman, if you spout any more nonsense, I will tear you to pieces!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" The Cold Voice scoffed. "Li Changbo, don't think that just because so many years have passed, you can distort the truth."

Back then, you used sweet words to deceive the Holy Maiden of the Cold Water Palace, who was traveling abroad, into marrying you.

After my mother learned of this, she sent someone to hold someone accountable.

But you were clever enough to put on a show of deep affection and unwavering devotion to the Holy Maiden.

In the end, my mother softened and spared you two, but banished the Holy Maiden from the secret place and left you to fend for yourselves.

However, no one expected that this was all just a show you put on from beginning to end.

You tricked the Holy Maiden into marrying you, and then you shared life and death with her.

This will make her truly devoted to you, obedient to you in everything she does, and compliant with your every word.

In the end, she listened to your slander, pretended to be abandoned, and took advantage of my mother's pity for her to allow her to return to the secret place.

Unexpectedly, not long after returning to the secret realm, she took advantage of everyone's inattention and stole the ancient Exotic Treasure passed down from my Cold Water Palace! Later, when the Holy Maiden was captured and brought back to the secret realm, the Exotic Treasure in her possession had already vanished.

The poor Holy Maiden, no matter how much torture my Cold Water Palace used, refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Exotic Treasure.

Ultimately, she couldn't hold on any longer and died along with the fetus in her womb.

Before she died, she begged my mother that if she ever found you, she must spare your life.

Li Changbo, tell me, did you force your wife and children to their deaths with your own hands? Do you think that just because you founded the Eternal Regret Sect, my Cold Water Palace doesn't know about it?

It's only because my mother promised the Holy Maiden that she would no longer make things difficult for you that you've been able to survive this long.

I never imagined that my past leniency would give you the upper hand, allowing you to bully my Cold Water Palace!

After the Cold Water Palace Master uttered these words, the entire Cold Water City fell into a deathly silence.

No one expected that the deaths of the Eternal Regret Sect Master's wife and children had such complicated details.

If that's really the case, then those who say Li Changbo personally forced his wife and children to their deaths can't really be said to be wrong.

"Bullshit! You vile wench, how dare you twist the truth!"

Li Changbo cursed loudly, "That Exotic Treasure was originally a treasure passed down from my wife's ancestors! She was originally a direct descendant of your Cold Water Palace, and she was that poisonous woman, your mother."

He used a vicious scheme to harm her entire lineage, which ultimately allowed him to seize the throne and become the palace master.

What's wrong with my wife retrieving her ancestral belongings? Do you think that wicked woman is really so kind? She seized power illegitimately; when she ascended the throne, she caused too many deaths.

I have a guilty conscience, that's why I wanted to make amends to my wife and put my mind at ease!

But the ways of Heavenly Dao are unfathomable; how can such hypocrisy deceive us? The wicked woman's ultimate failure to Tribulation Transcendence is the best explanation, her greatest retribution!

After Li Changbo's outburst, the Cold Voice inside the Ice Palace fell silent.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Indeed, my mother was ashamed of the direct lineage. Her failure to Tribulation Transcendence was also due to her guilt."

After hearing this, everyone in the city immediately understood.

Despite being one of the Four Great Secret Realms, not all of them are as harmonious as they seem.

At least this Cold Water Palace has experienced some extraordinary upheaval, which caused the position of Palace Master to change hands.

"However!" The Cold Voice suddenly changed tone, becoming sharp.

"My mother felt guilty, but that guilt was directed at the direct line of the family."

It is a fact that you, Li Changbo, deceived the Holy Maiden in order to plot for the Exotic Treasure, ultimately causing her tragic death!

Do you think I can't tell the difference? Li Changbo, you dare to come here to bully me just because you know my mother failed her Tribulation Transcendence and think my Cold Water Palace is short-handed.

"Since you're so aggressive, fine, I'll fight you! I'll show you that simply entering the Golden Core Realm realm doesn't make you invincible!"

"Palace Master, you mustn't!"

With a gasp, a figure suddenly flew out of the ice palace and stopped not far in front of Li Changbo.

The Cold Water Palace Master has accepted the challenge!

Those below widened their eyes and looked at the figure.

Even the citizens of Cold Water City were no exception.

As citizens of Cold Water City, they had never seen the true face of this person, the Cold Water Palace Master.

Then, when they saw the figure clearly, everyone felt their breath catch in their throats.

The reason is simple: that figure was simply too beautiful.

Her white robes fluttered in the wind, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

That exquisitely beautiful face was breathtakingly gorgeous.

"What a beautiful older sister."

Xiao Yan, who was on the roof of the restaurant, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when she saw the woman's appearance.

She felt that the woman in white in the sky seemed to be even more beautiful than Hu Ze Zhi.

"The Cold Water Palace Master is so young?"

Lu Qing was also surprised when he saw the face of the White-clothed Woman.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally tell that the Cold Water Palace Master was not the kind of old guy whose physical body had become younger after breaking through his realm.

Rather, it's because of his actual age, which is indeed quite young.

As for his appearance, it didn't have much of an impact on him.

She was incredibly beautiful, even surpassing the Beauty Ranking he had seen in the Holy City of Central Province.

However, at Lu Qing's level, he no longer judges people solely on their appearance.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful the Cold Water Palace was, it was still just that, and could not shake his Dao Heart.

Li Changbo was also stunned when he saw the stunningly beautiful face of the Cold Water Palace Master.

A strange glint even flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly concealed this unusual color.

He shouted, "You lowly servant, you've finally come out!"

"Li Changbo, just tell me how you want to fight, and I'll take it all."

The Cold Water Palace Master stood on a shuttle-shaped magical Artifact and said calmly.

"It's simple. If you can withstand three of my moves and survive them, you win this challenge! If you can't even last three moves, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Li Changbo said.

"Three moves, sure, but this isn't the place to fight. To avoid harming innocent people, let's find another place to fight."

The Cold Water Palace was about to ride her magical Artifact out of the city.

Unexpectedly, Li Changbo suddenly smiled coldly, "No need, they're just a bunch of ants, why bother with them? Just take this!"

Having said that, he flicked his arm and hurled the Azure Flame he was holding at the Cold Water Palace Master!
