Gong Yuxian's words and her shocking actions all showed her determination to die. Murong Qianxue shook her head vigorously: "Palace Master, don't be like this... You will be fine. We need you in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace."
"Palace Master! We are out of danger now, and you will recover soon. Now... is not the time to inherit the position of Palace Master."
"Palace Master..."
“Don’t try to persuade me…” Gong Yuxian smiled, “My profound strength has dissipated. Even if I recover, I will be a useless person. I will only become a burden to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… I have been forcing myself to not die for the past six months because I was unwilling to do so. Now that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has survived from the brink of death, and the most suitable person to inherit the position of Palace Master has appeared, I can finally… go and accompany my uncle with peace of mind…”
The next Palace Master was originally scheduled to be Xia Qingyue. More than five months ago, in a crisis, Gong Yuxian threatened Xia Qingyue with her life and forced her to escape using the Escape Profound Array. However, in her confusion, she forgot to pass on the "Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul" to her... Now, if Yun Che could become the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, then perhaps there would be a better ending. Perhaps, this was also God's will.
“Yun Che… I know very well that passing the position of Palace Master to you… is really too difficult for you… With your current level, even if you enter the Four Sacred Grounds, you will have an extremely high status… However… Although the danger has been temporarily resolved, behind these evil people is a force so huge that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace cannot contend with it at all… I can only… selfishly hand over Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace… to you… This is my… order as the Palace Master… and I am… asking… please… you… must… promise me… promise me…”
Gong Yuxian’s hands grasped Yun Che’s collar with all her might. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her pupils were filled with deep pleading… That’s right, pleading.
The master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace... This is a noble status that can be called "supreme" in Blue Wind Nation. Its prestige far exceeds that of the Blue Wind Emperor. Only the master of Heavenly Sword Manor can be compared. But now, she is deeply begging someone to inherit the position of the palace master... The other party is a man who has never been seen in the history of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
Because Gong Yuxian knew deeply that the disaster of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had not been resolved, but had only just begun. Those who were killed by Yun Che were just a few minions, and there were only a handful of forces in the entire Profound Sky Continent that could count Tyrant Emperors as minions. She even vaguely thought that behind them, perhaps it was one of the four great sacred places that overlooked the entire Profound Sky Continent...
The only straw she could grasp in order to save Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was the first and only male disciple in the history of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace... Yun Che, who was only 22 years old but had already entered the realm of Sovereign Profound Realm.
The Ice Cloud Palace, which is full of women, let a man become the Palace Master. This will inevitably attract criticism from the world. Yun Che knew that if they had not been forced to their current state, they would never make such a decision. Gong Yuxian did not want to see the Ice Cloud Palace destroyed. Yun Che, how could he be willing to see it... Xia Qingyue belonged here, Chu Yuechan also belonged here, and the Ice Cloud Art and Ice End Divine Art on him also originated from here... He and the Ice Cloud Palace have long been inextricably linked.
“…Okay!” Under Gong Yuxian’s pleading gaze, Yun Che took a long breath, nodded slowly, then stretched out his right hand and touched the back of his hand to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul.
The Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul emitted a soft blue light and flew towards Yun Che on its own initiative, then gradually disappeared on the back of his hand.
Yun Che clenched his right hand, feeling the presence of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul, and said slowly and firmly: “Palace Master, don’t worry, unless I die, I will never let anyone bully my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace again!”
Silently watching the Frozen Cloud Celestial Soul sink into Yun Che’s right hand, Gong Yuxian’s miserable expression was immediately replaced by endless satisfaction. She closed her eyes peacefully and said softly, “Okay… okay… thank you… with your words, even if I die… I can… close my eyes…”
Gong Yuxian’s voice became increasingly low. When the last word fell, her last breath of life disappeared at the same time as her voice… completely disappeared… After passing the position of Palace Master to Yun Che, she passed away peacefully.
"Palace Master..."
“Palace Master!!”
The sad cries of the women of Bingyun echoed in this cold space. They knelt beside Gong Yuxian's body, shedding their sad tears... Bingyun Palace has existed for thousands of years, and all previous palace masters have died of old age, but this generation has suffered such a disaster. Gong Yuxian died peacefully, but her clenched fingers showed that she still had too much resentment and unwillingness... She died with hatred.
Yun Che stood up and sighed deeply. Although this disaster was resolved due to his return, and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace was saved, its core pillars... Grand Palace Master Feng Qianhui and Palace Master Gong Yuxian passed away one after another. And it was the Sun Moon Divine Palace that caused Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to suffer this disaster...
Under Gong Yuxian's pleading, he unexpectedly accepted the position of Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace... But now, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is in the terrifying shadow of Sun Moon Divine Palace, and the position of Palace Master has become extremely heavy.
But since he dared to accept it, he had already prepared himself to face the Sun Moon Divine Palace one day... What's more, he and Ye Xinghan had a deep hatred for each other.
“Let the Palace Master… rest in peace in the ice coffin.” Looking at the Frozen Cloud girls crying in front of him, Yun Che said solemnly.
—————————————————
Southeast of Blue Wind Imperial City, seventy miles away.
As one of the leaders of the Shenhuang Army, Han Xingchao had taken on the task of conquering the western region of Cangfeng long ago. Except for the Tianjian Villa, which he had been told not to worry about, the western part of Cangfeng had been completely under his control. These days, he had been paying close attention to the progress of the main army... conquering the imperial city was just around the corner, and before long, there would no longer be Cangfeng Country in the world, but a "Shenhuang Empire Cangfeng Region", and they could soon return home with honor.
Yesterday, he learned that the Shenhuang army had arrived at Shenhuang City.
Today, he was going to send a message to inquire about the battle results... However, both the commander-in-chief Qi Zhencang and the deputy commander Duan Qinghang did not respond. Afterwards, he and his subordinates tried to send a message to almost everyone in the main army who had a message-transmitting mark... None of them responded.
In shock, he quickly transmitted a message to Feng Hengkong over a distance of thousands of miles. Under Feng Hengkong's order, he mobilized all of his war horses and flying pets, led 50,000 Divine Phoenix troops, and charged straight towards Blue Wind Imperial City at an unprecedented speed. Along the way, he was in extreme anxiety.
The commander who was traveling with him... Feng Hengjiang, the 52nd elder of the Phoenix Sect, also had a gloomy face. If one or two people did not respond to the message, perhaps they were concentrating on the war and had no time to care about other things, but no one responded... This was definitely not normal.
As night began to fall, they finally approached the Blue Wind Imperial City within seventy miles. The scene before them made them all stop on the spot and remain stunned for a long time.
“What… is going on!?”
There was no sound of fierce fighting or shouting, the silence here was frightening. The land in front of him was sunken to a great extent, and the sunken land was extremely flat... Not to mention the traces of fierce fighting, corpses, and blood that should be on a battlefield... There was not even a trace of being trampled.
This scene extended to the end of the field of vision.
Faced with the extremely weird scene, everyone stopped moving forward. Feng Hengjiang flew down and stood on the greatly sunken land. His face changed... He felt the breath of fire, and he had a vague premonition... This weird area with no end in sight... seemed to be a destructive area blasted out by an unparalleled force!
However, even if all the military commanders from the Phoenix Sect who came with them joined forces, they could not create such a huge area of destruction... and it was absolutely impossible for the Blue Wind Nation to have such a force.
The most crucial point is... where did the 700,000-strong army, as well as the 19th and 43rd elders go? Now they are close to the Cangfeng Imperial City that they were attacking this morning, but they can't see even the slightest shadow of them!
Could it be that...
An extremely terrifying thought flashed through Feng Hengjiang's mind, but he immediately denied it in a hurry... Impossible, how could such a thing be possible!
"Fifty-second Elder, can you tell what's going on in this area? What should we do next?" Han Xingchao asked calmly.
Feng Hengjiang's expression changed for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we have to go to Cangfeng Imperial City to find out what's going on... There are still a few dozen miles left. Immediately inform the sect master of the situation here, and then move forward at full speed!!"
"……good!"
Blue Wind Imperial City.
The sky began to darken, and the entire city was still in a tense state of preparation for war, because the Divine Phoenix Army could arrive again at any time.
Yun Che had not returned for a long time after going to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Cang Yue and the others could not help but become a little worried. At this time, a hurried voice came from outside the palace.
“Your Majesty…something bad has happened!!”
Cang Yue quickly stood up from the imperial chair and said with a frown, "Is the Divine Phoenix Army here?"
A Blue Wind soldier wearing silver armor rushed in quickly, knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "A wave of Divine Phoenix troops is coming from the northwest... Now they are less than thirty miles away from the Imperial City."
"What?" Cang Yue's eyebrows suddenly raised, and the faces of the generals in the hall suddenly changed. Feng Yunlie stood up and shouted: "Why did the Divine Phoenix Army only find out when they were so close... that all the sentinels in front were dead!"
“Your Majesty, General, calm down… This wave of Divine Phoenix troops should only have about 50,000 soldiers. But their marching speed is astonishingly fast. About 20,000 of them are riding on the Divine Phoenix Nation’s flaming war horses, and the remaining 30,000 or so are all riding on various flying profound beasts… Their speed is simply too fast… Your Majesty, please order them to fight immediately.”
Twenty thousand flaming war horses…flying mystical beasts carrying thirty thousand Divine Phoenix soldiers…everyone in the hall gasped.
Putting aside the 50,000 Divine Phoenix Army, the terrifying number of flaming war horses and flying profound beasts alone is definitely not something that the current Blue Wind Imperial City can stop.
But none of them showed panic on their faces, because their Blue Wind Imperial City had a guardian god as powerful as a god... Hundreds of thousands of Divine Phoenix main troops were destroyed by him in an instant, let alone fifty thousand! !
"It seems that after the main army was destroyed, the Divine Phoenix Army in the west noticed something was wrong and rushed here at full speed to find out what was going on." Cang Yue said calmly.
