Soon, a year passed.
Qian Lingche looked at the envoy standing respectfully below with a calm gaze.
The envoy held a letter from Emperor Xue Ye in his hands, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.
"Hall Master Qian, Emperor Xue Ye hopes that the Eternal Night Frost Song Hall can provide support in this war. Your power is enough to change the course of the conflict."
Qian Lingche frowned slightly, a flash of helplessness crossing his eyes: "Please inform Your Majesty that the Eternal Night Frost Song Hall will not participate in the war between the two empires."
Upon hearing this, the envoy said unwillingly: "Hall Master Qian, this war concerns the layout of the entire continent. If the Eternal Night Frost Song Hall stands by and watches, I fear that..."
Qian Lingche cut him off, his gaze turning cold: "The war between the two empires is a result of your own ambitions and has nothing to do with the Eternal Night Frost Song Hall."
The envoy wanted to say more, but seeing Qian Lingche's stern gaze, he could only lower his head and say respectfully: "Understood, Hall Master Qian. I will convey your words to His Majesty exactly as they were spoken."
Qian Lingche nodded and said with aloofness: "Go."
After the envoy left, he sighed softly and turned to walk toward his bedchamber.
Qian Lingche walked to the side of the bed and sat down slowly, his eyes filled with a trace of exhaustion.
This war is inevitable after all, he murmured to himself.
The scope of the conflict between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had expanded again, and to think Xue Ye actually wanted to drag him into the fray.
However, Ji Lin had finally broken through to level 90 some time ago. It was a pity there were no suitable soul beasts for him on the continent, so Brother Ling, Brother Yi, and Snow Emperor had gone to the sea to help him hunt for a soul ring.
He didn't know when they would return, but with Ling Yuan, Dugu Bo, and Ice Emperor still here, he figured no one would dare to provoke them.
The Asura God watched Qian Lingche in the lower realm.
A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes: "A mere mortal dares to disrupt my plans."
He had simply been caught off guard for a moment; he never expected Tang Hao to be killed.
The Asura God raised his hand, preparing to pull a few strings and teach Qian Lingche a lesson.
A massive ice sword suddenly shot out from the void, carrying a bone-chilling cold as it headed straight for the Asura God.
"Boom!"
A flash of surprise crossed the Asura God's eyes. He shifted his form, narrowly dodging the strike, but the ice sword still grazed his shoulder as it flew past.
"Qian Shangyi!" The Asura God shouted coldly, his eyes filled with rage.
"Asura, you have overstepped your bounds." Qian Shangyi kicked open the gates of the Asura God Hall, sword in hand.
"As a law enforcer of the God Realm, you knowingly break the law. It was one thing to pull strings in the Douluo Continent, but you actually dared to target my successor." Her tone was full of fury; she was clearly extremely dissatisfied with the Asura God's actions.
"Qian Shangyi, what is the meaning of this?" The Asura God asked coldly, his tone testing her.
He had been as discreet as possible, yet he never expected this madwoman to discover him.
Qian Shangyi sneered, her gaze filled with mockery: "Playing dumb, are we? So what if you are a God King!"
Before she finished speaking, she swung the long sword in her hand, and the sword light slashed toward the Asura God.
A flash of surprise crossed the Asura God's eyes. Clearly, he had not expected Qian Shangyi to strike so directly, and he raised his hand to summon the Asura Demon Sword to parry.
"Boom!"
The Asura God was forced back several steps, and he said angrily: "You've lost your mind, Qian Shangyi! You actually dare to raise a hand against me!"
Qian Shangyi looked at him coldly, her tone filled with disdain: "And what if I do? You are a law enforcer of the God Realm, yet you repeatedly violate the rules and interfere in the affairs of the Douluo Continent."
High above the God Realm, the Asura God and Qian Shangyi stood in a standoff, the atmosphere between them tense and ready to snap.
"Qian Shangyi, do you really intend to make an enemy of me?" The Asura God spoke with a warning tone.
Qian Shangyi did not reply. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air, transforming into sharp ice blades that swept toward the Asura God.
The Asura God snorted coldly and swung the Asura Demon Sword in his hand. The scarlet sword light formed a massive barrier, blocking all the ice blades.
"You do have some tricks up your sleeve." A flash of gravity crossed the Asura God's eyes; he had not expected Qian Shangyi's strength to have grown to this extent without him noticing.
Qian Shangyi flickered, appearing instantly behind the Asura God, her long sword pointed straight at his heart.
The Asura God reacted with lightning speed, slashing his Asura Demon Sword backward. The two blades collided once more, erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations.
The speed of their exchange was immense, with sword lights clashing continuously in the air.
The more they fought, the more alarmed the Asura God became. He had not expected Qian Shangyi's strength to be so formidable—she even held a faint advantage over him.
He took a deep breath, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand erupted with power. The scarlet energy transformed into a massive pillar of light, sweeping toward Qian Shangyi.
Qian Shangyi's gaze sharpened. Ice crystals condensed in the air, forming an ice wall to block the scarlet pillar of light.
However, under the impact of the scarlet pillar, the ice wall gradually developed cracks before shattering with a roar.
Qian Shangyi was forced back several steps, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
If this entanglement continued, it would be difficult to determine a victor.
Since that was the case, she would stop holding back.
"Divine Skill—Angel Judgment!"
As her voice fell, a massive ice sword instantly condensed in the air, radiating an endless chill that threatened to freeze space itself.
The next instant, the ice sword crashed down toward the Asura God!
A flicker of gravity crossed the Asura God's eyes; he dared not be careless, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand transformed into a colossal barrier.
"Asura Domain!"
"BOOM!"
A terrifying shockwave swept through the surroundings, causing even the space of the God Realm to develop fine cracks.
Under the impact of the ice sword, the crimson barrier gradually fractured until it finally shattered with a thunderous roar.
The Asura God was forced back several steps, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock: "Qian Shangyi, you are actually playing for keeps with me!"
The laughter of the Rakshasa God suddenly rang in Bibi Dong's ears: "Hahahaha, the Snow God is actually fighting that thing called Asura!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of doubt crossed Bibi Dong's eyes: "Rakshasa, what are you talking about?"
The Rakshasa God sneered, her tone tinged with a hint of smugness: "I don't know why Asura and the Snow God started fighting, but they are both injured."
Bibi Dong frowned, her eyes full of confusion: "Didn't you say the Asura God is a God King and the Snow God is a First-Class God? Then how did she manage to fight him to a stalemate?"
Hearing this, the Rakshasa God curled her lips into a meaningful smile: "Heh, Bibi Dong, you underestimate the Snow God too much."
"Although she is only a First-Class God, her strength far exceeds that of an ordinary First-Class God; in some aspects, even a God King must fear her by three points."
Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully: "Then what is their current situation?"
Looking at it this way, this Snow God is far stronger than the Rakshasa God whose legacy I inherited... That child is truly lucky.
The Rakshasa God said with schadenfreude: "They're still fighting, neither can take the other down."
