The Ice Rain Sword Emperor stared at Lin Xiao with icy eyes.

If she could act here, she would definitely take action against Lin Xiao right now.

"Oh? It seems the talks have broken down."

The power of the Ancestral Dragon Token in Lin Xiao's hand has become even stronger.

Long Haochen's bloodline was weak, and under the pressure of the ancestral dragon bloodline, he couldn't hold on for long. Blood seeped from his body, and he was almost stained with blood.

"Long Haochen, look at your master. She's just using you to help her recover her body. She doesn't care about you at all. What's the use of having a master like that?"

Lin Xiao said with a faint sarcasm.

Now he wants to create a rift in the relationship between the master and disciple, so that when he finds a suitable place, it will be easier to take action against Long Haochen.

At this moment, Long Haochen also began to have doubts about his master.

He's almost at his breaking point.

And she actually cares about her legacy?

Does she really not care whether she lives or dies?

Ice Rain Sword Emperor also looked at Lin Xiao coldly.

The other party actually resorted to such despicable means, causing a rift between them, master and disciple.

And now, it seems her apprentice has reached the intermediate level.

"Alas!" The Ice Rain Sword Emperor sighed deeply.

Then he said, "Haochen, give the things to him."

Upon hearing the voice of the Ice Rain Sword Emperor, Lin Xiao put away the Ancestral Dragon Token, so that Long Haochen would no longer feel the pressure.

Losing his grip, Long Haochen plopped down on the ground and tossed a crystal ball to Lin Xiao.

“Here, the inheritance is yours!” Long Haochen said coldly.

Lin Xiao took the item and then looked at it.

A message appeared in his eyes.

[The legacy of the Ice Rain Sword Emperor: It contains the supreme swordsmanship legacy of the Ice Rain Sword Emperor, but it is bound by a restriction. If this restriction is not broken and the legacy is used rashly, the Ice Rain Sword Emperor will control the user.]

'Good heavens, you were just waiting for me here.'

Lin Xiao looked at the information and sneered.

No wonder the Ice Rain Sword Emperor agreed so readily; he had a backup plan all along.

"Boy, you've got the inheritance. Now get out of here. Consider this my compensation to you!"

"Ice Rain Sword Emperor said calmly, a strange light flashing in his eyes."

However, Lin Xiao did not leave; instead, he said...

"Leaving is fine, but senior, you're being too unfair. There are restrictions hidden here. If I use them rashly, I'll become your puppet."

"Don't you know how to untie it? Or is it that you originally intended to use this inheritance to control others?"

Lin Xiao's words made Long Haochen look at her.

His eyes were full of doubt.

"you......."

Ice Rain Sword Emperor was extremely surprised that Lin Xiao had actually seen through the clues of this inheritance.

How is that possible? How could he tell?

The Ice Rain Sword Emperor was utterly astonished. In all her years of life, she had never experienced such a profound emotional turmoil.

"Senior, please hurry, I still have a long way to go!"

Lin Xiao said.

"Okay, okay, okay!!!"

After speaking, the Ice Rain Sword Emperor removed the restriction hidden in the inheritance crystal and returned it to Lin Xiao.

"Alright, can we go now?"

"Ice Rain Sword Emperor inquired."

"Of course, please go ahead!"

After Lin Xiao checked and found no problems, he let Long Haochen and the others leave.

This was a last resort; they couldn't take action here.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move here.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Rain Sword Emperor did not hesitate and quickly left the place with Long Haochen.

Lin Xiao carefully put away the inheritance crystal; he wouldn't use it now, as it was too dangerous here.

After putting his things away, he looked at a certain place and said.

"Next, it's time to seize other opportunities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao headed towards the opportunity that belonged to the Ice Rain Sword Emperor.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Long Haochen, who had regained much of his strength, remained silent.

The Ice Rain Sword Emperor in his mind was the same.

The master and apprentice seemed to be maintaining a tacit understanding.

Finally, Long Haochen couldn't take it anymore and questioned him.

"Master, do you really consider me your disciple? Are you really not just using me?"

Hearing Long Haochen's question, the Ice Rain Sword Emperor sighed deeply.

Sure enough, this foolish apprentice fell for their trap.

Fortunately, she did not accept this disciple as a formal disciple, but only as a nominal disciple.

Otherwise, her lifelong reputation would be ruined.

However, she patiently explained in response to Long Haochen's questioning.

"Haochen, you are too easily influenced by others. You are my disciple, how could I possibly harm you?"

"But Master, you never told me that the inheritance had restrictions placed on it. After I received the inheritance, you wanted me to use it directly. Did you really consider me your disciple?"

Upon hearing Long Haochen's question once again, the Ice Rain Sword Emperor let out a long sigh.

He said, "Forget it. You and Long Haochen have been deeply influenced by others. It seems our master-disciple relationship has come to an end. But don't worry, I've absorbed a lot of your spiritual energy over the years."

I will compensate you for all of this. I will help you break through to the Divine Power Realm within a year; that will be my limit.

The Ice Rain Sword Emperor's voice was no longer gentle; it was cold, as if he were making a deal.

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen was first taken aback, and then remained silent.

They walked silently toward one place.
