Chapter 3010: Battle Against the Snow Sect

As the Icepeer Founding Ancestor berated ancestor Lan, the faces of the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor suddenly sank as well. The Frigid River Ancestor said sternly, “Ancestor Lan, these are not things you can talk about irresponsibly, or make any jokes about. Shui Yunlan is a member of the Ice G.o.ddess Hall, and she’s someone the great Ice G.o.ddess and the Snow G.o.ddess deeply favours. No matter how bold our Snow sect is, we would never offend someone like that, let alone abduct them.”

The Profound Sky Ancestor said as well, “Ancestor Lan, if you’ve come to visit us, then our Snow sect will welcome you with open doors and receive you with the highest possible courtesy. However, if you’ve come to slander our Snow sect, then no one in the sect, from the lowest disciples to the highest ancestors, would accept that. Once we really do reach that point, you better consider whether your Heavenly Crane clan can withstand the wrath of our Snow sect, ancestor Lan.”

Ancestor Lan had been expecting a response like this the entire time, so she was not surprised at all. She found it perfectly normal.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to borrow great elder Yu Yangxie of your esteemed sect. We’ll know whether your Snow sect is innocent or is harbouring malicious intent as long as we ask Yu Yangxie.” Ancestor Lan’s voice suddenly sharpened. As she said that, she casually extended her slender hand and reached towards Yu Yangxie.

Immediately, energy surged through the surroundings. A tremendous presence erupted in the forbidden grounds of the Snow sect, sweeping across the entire sect.

It was devastating the moment ancestor Lan struck. A huge hand of ice appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around Yu Yangxie from above with destructive energy and laws.

It was not just Yu Yangxie. Even the Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor, was within the range of ancestor Lan’s hand of energy.

“How dare you, ancestor Lan! Looks like your Heavenly Crane clan is determined to bring doom upon yourself!” The Icepeer Founding Ancestor flew into a rage. She immediately pushed Yu Yangxie over to the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor and said, “Frigid River, Profound Sky, you must protect our great elder’s safety. He’s a mighty great elder of our Snow sect. Given his esteemed status, how can he be interrogated so easily based on a simple request?”

As she said that, the Icepeer Founding Ancestor also struck decisively. Her presence erupted and rushed into outer s.p.a.ce. Then she launched a palm strike, colliding with ancestor Lan valiantly.

Under the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s protection, it was virtually impossible for ancestor Lan to capture Yu Yangxie.

Their clash was unavoidable.

Boom!

A great rumble immediately erupted in the forbidden grounds of the Snow sect. The disturbance was several dozen times more terrifying than earlier, or even over a hundred times more terrifying.

Not only did the entire Snow sect shake violently from the clash, but the surging storm of energy even broke through the formations around the forbidden grounds and spread outside the sect.

Immediately, s.p.a.ce trembled, the surroundings were devastated, and the stars dimmed.

This was a clash between Sixth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. It was so terrifying and shocking that it had far surpa.s.sed the imaginations of weaker cultivators. It was even a rare sight to some Infinite Primes.

In the next moment, countless senses of the soul surged into the air from various places of the Ice Pole Plane. They were all filled with surprise, shock, and disbelief as they gathered above the Snow sect.

Near the Hefeng clan, the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming, stood atop the demonic castle and gazed in the direction of the Snow sect. His eyes were deep.

“Quick, strengthen the formations of the forbidden ground and prevent the energy from spreading, or the sect will be devastated,” the Frigid River Ancestor called out from the forbidden grounds. She had never been so stern before. She immediately formed seals with the Profound Sky Ancestor. Energy seeped out of their bodies, all of it gathering in the powerful formations around the forbidden grounds.

Under the full support of the two ancestors, the protective formations finally stabilised from their precarious state. It blocked most of the energy from the clash within, preventing it from reaching the rest of the Snow sect.

After all, the main purpose of the formations was to protect the forbidden grounds from disturbances from the outside world. As a result, it was not particularly powerful and could not be compared with the defensive formation around the entire sect.

When the storm of energy settled down in the forbidden grounds, ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor’s figures had already vanished. At the same time, in the vast outer s.p.a.ce beyond the Ice Pole Plane, waves of energy slammed together like the stormy seas, shattering planets after planets. The s.p.a.ce there was broken to the point where it struggled to recover.

Ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor were locked in an intense battle in outer s.p.a.ce. Their figures flickered between the shattered s.p.a.ce, sometimes entering the other region of s.p.a.ce filled with violent streams of energy and temporal vortices and sometimes returning to the s.p.a.ce of the Saints’ World.

Even though the environment of the void was extremely dangerous, where some terrifying temporal vortices could even easily claim the lives of Grand Primes, it no longer posed much of a threat to them given their cultivation. They could move about freely like they were fighting on flat land.

Ancestor Lan and the Icepeer Founding Ancestor had changed their battlefield, but the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor still remained in the forbidden grounds. They were utterly furious and radiating with killing intent.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, the Heavenly Crane clan has been far too flagrant. You actually started fighting in our Snow sect. If the two of us hadn’t reacted in time and strengthened the protective formation around the forbidden grounds, the outcome would have been unimaginable if the storm of energy spread beyond here.”

“It wouldn’t just be unimaginable. Probably our entire Snow sect would be devastated. After all, the turmoil comes from within. Our protective formations are directed outwards, not inwards.”

The Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor were fuming. They utterly hated the Heavenly Crane clan to the core.

Ancestor Lan’s actions were no different from publicly declaring war, and she had made it such that they would have to fight to their deaths.

“From today onwards, the Heavenly Crane clan is a great enemy of our Snow sect. Our Snow sect will never stop until the Heavenly Crane clan is destroyed,” the Frigid River Ancestor and the Profound Sky Ancestor said at the same time. Their resonant voices pa.s.sed through the formations around the forbidden grounds and reached across the entire Snow sect, leading to a great uproar. Many disciples and members of the upper echelon blanked out slightly.

What was going on? Hadn’t they just welcomed ancestor Lan into the sect with an extremely great gesture of courtesy?

Why had she become a great enemy of the Snow sect all of a sudden?

Such a great reversal occurred in such a short amount of time, which left many disciples dumbfounded. They struggled to respond.

“He Qianchi, you’ve witnessed everything. This is your Heavenly Crane clan digging your own grave, so you better not say I’m hara.s.sing those weaker than me. I’ll kill you as a mighty Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. You can be the first one from the Heavenly Crane clan to pay.” The Profound Sky Ancestor’s face was filled with killing intent. His face was terrifyingly sunken, glaring at the stumped He Qianchi who still remained in the forbidden grounds. It was as if the Profound Sky Ancestor wanted to eat him.

As soon as he had said that, the Profound Sky Ancestor appeared before He Qianchi silently. He formed a claw with his hand, where a sharp blade of ice condensed around every single finger, s.h.i.+ning with cold light. Then he reached towards the top of He Qianchi’s head mercilessly.
