Once the Matter Was Settled, He Brushed Off His Robes and Left

"Hand over the Ice Spirit Stele, and I may spare your lives."

A towering figure, standing with his hands behind his back, slowly approached. His slender frame exuded an intense sense of oppression. Despite the presence of numerous powerful figures on the Ice Spirit Clan's side, they could only retreat step by step, their faces filled with fear.

"Your Excellency Wu... Martial Ancestor, I am willing to offer up your noble lady's soul with both hands."

Ice Spirit Ancestor swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm as he spoke.

Giving away a bit of Ying Huanhuan's True Spirit and giving away the Ice Spirit Stele are two completely different things.

Extracting a bit of Ying Huanhuan's True Spirit from the Peerless Sacred Object, the Ice Spirit Stele, was merely a matter of expending some spiritual power—a simple task.

But if the Ice Spirit Stele is handed over, things will get very serious.

The Ice Spirit Stele Immortal Grade Top Peerless Sacred Object.

As the supreme treasure of the Ice Spirit Clan, which has been worshipped by all its members for 100,000 years, every member of the Ice Spirit Clan Royal Clan leaves a trace of their True Spirit in it. Of course, this includes the Ice Spirit Ancestor himself, in order to be resurrected after his death.

If we were to hand over such a treasure that protects our clan, what difference would that be from handing over the lifeline of the Ice Spirit Clan to the enemy? Whoever hands over the Ice Spirit Stele would be a sinner of the entire Ice Spirit Clan, and would have no face to meet the ancestors of the clan.

For the Ice Spirit Ancestor, the most tragic thing is that the sinner is almost certainly himself.

Heaven have mercy! What did our ancestor do wrong?!

"Ancestor, I want you to understand one thing: this is an order, not a request, and I never repeat myself."

Lin Dong moved swiftly, appearing beside the Ice Spirit Ancestor like a ghost. Throughout the entire process, the three Spirit Grade Late Heaven Supreme Stage the Ice Spirit Ancestor, did not react in the slightest.

"Yes, Your Martial Ancestor, I understand, I understand..."

Upon hearing that soft laugh beside his ear, the Ice Spirit Ancestor's hair stood on end, and he nodded stiffly, fearing that if he was even a fraction too late, his head would fall to the ground.

"Buzz!"

Before long, a majestic Azure Ancient Stele rose from the void with a rumble. Its surface was covered by endless Ice, and then it transformed into a palm-sized Azure Ancient Stele and swept into Lin Dong's palm.

"Not bad, the ancestor is quite clever."

Lin Dong gripped the cold ancient stele in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved; it's time to retire gracefully.

"Bah!"

The next moment, with an extremely clear screech, a Nine-Headed Silver Strange Bird with pure silver feathers and a length of a thousand feet materialized, surrounded and enveloped by dense Space Power, becoming more active than ever before.

"Gentlemen, you are welcome to visit my Martial Realm in the Land of Extreme South when you have time."

A hint of human-like smile flickered in its crystal-clear eyes, and then it flapped its wings and shattered the void to fly away.

As they watched the ruthless demon depart, countless Ice Spirit Clan Expert breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they noticed the Ancestral Land riddled with holes, they were all filled with despair.

What exactly did the Ice Spirit Clan do wrong?!

"Hey, Brother Bingling, things have come to this point, and it's time for Venerable Dragon and I to leave. Before we go, I have a piece of advice for you, whether you listen to it or not is up to you."

The Snow Demon Elder sighed Youyou, and solemnly bowed to the Ice Spirit Ancestor:

"Today's battle is a disaster for the Ice Spirit Clan, but it may also be an opportunity."

"Lin Dong, the Master of Martial Realm, is an unparalleled genius who is even more terrifying than the Battle Emperor. He will surely ascend to sainthood in the future; it's only a matter of time. Judging from his bone age, he is only forty years old, yet he has already become Immortal Grade Great Master. I'm afraid he won't be able to get the Ice Spirit Stele back."

"The Ice Spirit Clan is no longer as glorious as it once was. In ancient times, the Ice Spirit Clan was a golden age in which Immortal Grade Great Master emerged. What about the Ice Spirit Clan now? Only my brother, a Spirit Grade Late Stage, is barely holding on."

"You and I both know that the Ice Spirit Clan has actually been on a downward trend. Since that's the case, why not seize this opportunity to get closer to the Martial Realm and the Martial Ancestor? Wasn't your previous friendship with the Battle Emperor also for this purpose? Now, you have a better choice."

"No matter how much the Martial Realm Mistress Ying Huanhuan has been living away from home, she is still a member of the Ice Spirit Clan's Royal Clan, and the blood ties between her and her clan cannot be severed."

"Since there is no major enmity between the two sides, if the Ice Spirit Clan were to cultivate a good relationship with this Main Wife, would she really push her own clan away?"

"Since the Ice Spirit Stele cannot be retrieved, why not grant her the position of Patriarch? It is only right and proper for the Ice Spirit Clan Chief to wield the clan's most precious treasure, the Ice Spirit Stele, and no one can object to it. In this way, the two will become as close as family."

"The Ice Spirit Clan Chief is Martial Realm Mistress, which means you have successfully secured the support of a future Saint-grade Mighty Expert. It's not impossible for the Ice Spirit Clan to restore its ancient glory. Now that we've said this, we'll take our leave."

After saying this, the Snow Demon Elder and the Venerable Dragon drifted away.

"Turning misfortune into fortune, Xu Martial Realm Mistress ascended to the position of Patriarch, backed by a Saint-grade Mighty Expert, restoring our clan's ancient glory..."

The departure of the two Snow Demons did not disturb the Ice Spirit Ancestor, who seemed to be in a strange state, muttering to himself in a daze.

If someone familiar with the Ice Spirit Ancestor were here, they would know that this senile old man probably agreed with the Snow Demon Elder's proposal, but was just too embarrassed to back down for the time being.

"Grant the position of clan leader to the Patriarch the Martial Realm Mistress? What would I do then?"

Behind the Ice Spirit Ancestor, the Ice Spirit Clan Chief, who was looking up at the huge hole pierced by the meteorite from outer space, was lost in thought.

Soon, a shocking piece of news spread rapidly Great Thousand World.

The Martial Ancestor, the Master of Martial Realm of the Land of Extreme South, suddenly visits the Ice Spirit Clan.

It turns out that Ying Huanhuan, the wife of the Martial Realm Mistress Martial Ancestor, was actually a member of the Ice Spirit Clan's Royal Clan who had been separated from her. She left a trace of her True Spirit in the Ice Spirit Clan's treasure Ice Spirit Stele.

The Martial Ancestor wanted to reclaim this bit of True Spirit and offer up a Spirit Grade Peerless Sacred Object, a win-win situation. Unfortunately, the Ice Spirit Clan refused and even greatly humiliated the Martial Ancestor.

Martial Ancestor's Fury single-handedly stormed the Ancestral Land of the Ice Spirit Clan.

As Spirit Grade Late Heaven Supreme Stage, he first shattered the Ice Spirit Clan's Clan Protection Array with a single strike, and then withstood three peerless Peerless Divine Ability from the Ice Spirit Ancestor, crushing him with overwhelming force.

Unwilling to accept defeat, the Ice Spirit Ancestor invited three friends —the Snow Demon Elder, the Venerable Dragon, and the Battle Emperor— to help him, all of whom were Spirit Grade Late Stage cultivators.

The three joined forces to kill the Martial Ancestor, intending to drive him out of the Ice Spirit Clan's Ancestral Land.

The Martial Ancestor single-handedly confronted the three Heaven Supreme Stage, severely injuring them one by one. Among them, the Battle Emperor, who coveted the soul of the Martial Ancestor's wife, was killed on the spot.

The Ice Spirit Clan, utterly defeated by the Martial Ancestor, could only watch helplessly as he took away their clan's Sacred Object, the Ice Spirit Stele, and then drifted away.

Although the Ice Spirit Clan's strength has declined in recent years, it is still one of the most famous ancient clans in the Great Thousand World, with a profound heritage.

However, this ancient clan was Clan Territory by the Martial Ancestor alone. The clan's patriarch Ice Spirit Ancestor, along with the three Heaven Supreme Stage friends he invited to help, were ruthlessly crushed by him.

Lin Dong rose to fame in one battle by stepping on the Primordial Race Ice Spirit Clan and four veteran Heaven Supreme Stage, including the Ice Spirit Ancestor, and became famous throughout the Great Thousand World!
