Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai's expressions froze instantly. They took a deep breath at the same time, feeling angry and helpless... Since they had chosen to force their way in, they had already been fully prepared. With Mu Xuanyin's domineering attitude, it was not easy for her to calm down.
“…Yes, Master.” Yun Che didn’t say much and just put the red wooden box away. He secretly groaned in his heart… This is a gift from the three great sect masters to the King of Snow Yin Realm! How could it be an ordinary thing? Could it be… that they really gave it to me like this?
Well, it’s better to return it to Master honestly after they leave.
Mu Xuanyin leaned forward slightly, revealing a charming yet still awe-inspiring figure that no one dared to look directly at. “It seems that the three sect leaders are indeed sincere. Well, an uninvited guest is still a guest after all. If I just drive him away, wouldn’t it make me look like I have no magnanimity?”
“I will put aside your forcible entry into the Ice Phoenix Realm and the disruption of the sect conference for now and listen to what you have to say. However…” Mu Xuanyin narrowed his eyes slightly: “I will only give you a quarter of an hour!”
Yan Wancang took a step forward and said solemnly, “Okay, the three of us will thank Snow Song Realm King for his help.”
Yan Zhuo, Yan Mingxuan, and Huo Poyun had returned to the three major sect masters. Their hearts were all in turmoil, and their cognitions since childhood had been completely overturned... The three supreme sect masters in the Flame God Realm were all present, but they were so cautious in front of the Snow Song Realm King, and faced with ridicule and sarcasm, they were not angry at all.
The three words "a quarter of an hour" clearly sounded like a condescending gift, but judging from Yan Wancang's expression and tone, he gladly accepted it... The impact this had on them could be imagined.
Yan Wancang already knew what to say and how to say it, and he said without thinking, "I believe the Snow Song Realm King must have an answer in his mind about the purpose of our three coming here. Yes, we are still here for the matter of the ancient horned dragon in the Burial God Inferno Prison. However, this time is very different from the past."
“What’s the difference?” Mu Xuanyin asked in a cold voice, her eyes like cold arrows.
“Because something big is about to happen, and it is very likely to affect the entire God Realm!” Yan Juehai quickly interjected, his face serious: “Although we don’t know exactly what the big event will be, the Voice of Eternal Heaven a few months ago and the upcoming Profound God Conference are clearly telling all realms that something big is about to happen! I believe that the King of the Snow Song Realm must also be well aware of it.”
"That's right." Yan Wancang nodded heavily. "Since the Eternal Heaven Realm has sent out such a signal, and has not hesitated to use all the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl to the mysterious practitioners from the outside world, it can be seen that this matter is definitely not trivial, and it may even be related to life and death! Now, all major star realms are deeply alert and have made preparations. I heard that your sect opened the Nether Frost Heaven Pond to thousands of disciples at the same time for the first time some time ago. I think this is also the reason."
“That horned dragon has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Every dragon scale on its body is a rare treasure. If we can kill it, it will bring a huge amount of resources to our two worlds. The Snow Song Realm King has amazing profound power, but it is extremely difficult to improve to the Supreme Divine Master Realm. However, a horned dragon that is hundreds of thousands of years old will definitely be enough for the Snow Song Realm King to make further progress in a short period of time.”
"And in a situation where something big might happen, its significance is far greater than before!"
“This is one of them.”
"Secondly," Yan Wancang continued without interruption, "Although we failed due to an accident a thousand years ago, the Qilin Dragon was already seriously injured, and it is impossible for it to recover in just a thousand years. The three of us have not slacked off in the past thousand years, and we have all made some progress. The Snow Song Realm King must be far better than a thousand years ago. In addition, the Qilin Dragon is injured. This is the best time to hunt it! If we miss this opportunity, its injuries will most likely heal in a thousand years, and it will be much more difficult by then."
“With the might of the Snow Song Realm King and the meager strength of our Flame God Realm, I dare to assert here…” Yan Wancang held up two fingers: “This time, we have an 80% chance of hunting down the ancient horned dragon!”
Having said this, Yan Wancang’s voice slowed down slightly, “Thousands of years ago, we promised that after the matter was accomplished, the two realms would each get half of the body of the horned dragon. This time we will still abide by this promise, and after the horned dragon dies, each of us will get 50%. After all, although the ancient horned dragon is in my Flame God Realm, without the power of the Snow Song Realm King, our Flame God Realm will definitely not be able to kill it.”
After Yan Wancang finished speaking, Mu Xuanyin did not respond for a long time, and her cold expression did not change at all.
“Have you said everything you wanted to say?” Mu Xuanyin said coldly.
"..." Yan Wancang's heart tightened slightly.
“Now that we have finished talking,” Mu Xuanyin straightened up slightly and said sternly, “Huanzhi, send the guest away.”
Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai's expressions changed at the same time. Yan Wancang shouted, "Snow Song Realm King, what... do you mean by this?"
“What do you mean?” Mu Xuanyin slowly stood up. As she stood up, the temperature of the surrounding space suddenly dropped, and the entire sky seemed to suddenly press down. “If the three of you were just here to congratulate me, I might have treated you with courtesy. But you barged into my sect’s assembly first, and you even had the guts to mention the matter of the ancient horned dragon!”
“Do you really think that I have forgotten the ugly deeds that you, the Flame God Realm, committed thousands of years ago?!”
This stern shout shocked the three younger generations of the Flame God Realm and caused them to retreat in unison. Their faces instantly turned pale as paper, and they almost vomited blood. A cold murderous intent shone from Mu Xuanyin's eyes, falling directly on Huo Rulie, who had been silent the whole time.
"Crack... crack..." Huo Rulie's whole body was flashing with flames, and a sound like teeth being bitten came from his mouth... But he endured it and didn't say a word, but blood was already flowing from between his fingers.
Facing Mu Xuanyin's sudden rage and murderous intent, Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai had expected it, but they still felt nervous. Yan Wancang tried to remain calm and said, "Snow Song Realm King, in the past, you were the first to seriously injure the Fire Sect Master's only son..."
“Shut up!” Mu Xuanyin’s gaze and murderous intent suddenly shot towards Yan Wancang, causing him to stop speaking abruptly: “That ignorant junior has a low level of cultivation, but he doesn’t know how to live or die by approaching the God Burial Infernal Prison. Even if I don’t take action, he will die under the fire of the dragon!”
"Although he was seriously injured by my power, you all know that it was purely an accidental injury. I don't even bother to attack a junior! I felt guilty about this incident and wanted to make amends with the Moon Phoenix Jade... But Huo Rulie, the villain, plotted against my sister and even used the Qionglong Poison!"
"This was an accidental injury, but Huo Rulie was malicious and plotted against me! How can the two be compared?"
Yan Juehai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Snow Song Realm King, it is true that our Flame God Realm was at fault in this matter. But after that, you were furious and severely injured thousands of people from our three sects, and destroyed all the star realms controlled by our Flame God Realm. Our losses were ten thousand times greater than yours! Moreover, the person you injured back then was Sect Master Huo’s only son. He was originally a genius, but he was crippled because of this. Although he was forcibly extended his life and barely survived, it was quite difficult for him to even stand. It can be said that life is worse than death. Sect Master Huo was extremely sad and angry, so he did something he shouldn’t have done.”
“Heh!” Mu Xuanyin laughed coldly, “He was greedy and reckless, his body was burned by internal fire and he couldn’t be humane, but he wanted to transfer his resentment to me!?”
“…” Yun Che’s mouth opened wide.
By now, he had a general understanding of the thousand-year-old feud.
Thousands of years ago, when the ancient horned dragon was shedding its scales, Mu Xuanyin went to the Flame God Realm and hunted the ancient horned dragon together with the Flame God Realm. However, when she was about to succeed, she accidentally injured the son of Huo Rulie, the leader of the Golden Crow Sect... and he was her only son.
However, Huo Rulie was too greedy and reckless during his training at a certain period, which led to a backlash and hurt himself, rendering him inhumane...which meant that he could never have other children.
Therefore, the one that Mu Xuanyin injured was his only son, his only descendant… and it sounded like he was seriously injured, with his entire body crippled and difficulty even walking. He was still alive now, thanks to Huo Rulie forcibly extending his life at all costs.
Just like in the past thousand years, Mu Xuanyin had been forcing Mu Bingyun to live longer at all costs.
Therefore, Huo Rulie, in his rage, found an opportunity to plot against Mu Bingyun... and even used the Qionglong poison obtained from the ancient Qionglong.
The one whom Mu Xuanyin had killed was his only son, and the one whom he had plotted against was Mu Xuanyin's only relative.
Obviously, compared to Mu Xuanyin's accidental injury, Huo Rulie's revenge was particularly despicable and vicious... But as someone who possessed the Golden Crow Divine Flame, his temperament was inherently violent, and he was also inhumane. Mu Xuanyin not only destroyed his son, but also completely cut off their lineage. How could he not be furious and lose control?
But…if Huo Rulie hadn’t plotted against her, Mu Bingyun wouldn’t have fallen to the Profound Sky Continent. There wouldn’t have been any Frozen Cloud Palace on the Profound Sky Continent.
He wouldn’t have met the little fairy, wouldn’t have become the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Palace, wouldn’t have had so many grudges and entanglements… and wouldn’t have followed Mu Bingyun to the God Realm…
“…” Suddenly, Yun Che actually felt a little… grateful to Huo Rulie.
“Mu Xuanyin!!”
This loud shout was like a volcano exploding and thunder roaring across the ground. Huo Rulie, whose scars were severely torn, finally erupted. The Golden Crow flames on his body instantly soared dozens of feet high, and his eyes suddenly turned into a strong red-gold color: "You haven't forgotten that I plotted against Mu Bingyun, and you killed my son. I, Huo Rulie, will never forget this until I die!!"
"I, Huo Rulie, am incompetent and cannot avenge my son myself... But if I ever get the chance, I will tear you into pieces!!!"
Huo Rulie's roar suddenly changed the atmosphere. All the elders and palace masters were furious. The cold murderous aura swept through like a storm. Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai were horrified. Yan Wancang quickly stood in front of Huo Rulie and said urgently, "Snow Song Realm King, Sect Master Huo has a violent temper and said something rude... We will leave immediately. Please forgive us, Snow Song Realm King!"
Yan Juehai was transmitting a message to Huo Rulie:
“Asshole! Are you crazy? This is the territory of the Snow Song Realm! Haven’t you experienced how terrifying this woman Mu Xuanyin is?!”
"What did you promise us before coming here? You promised not to mention the grudges of the past..."
"That's because it's not your son who is useless!!!"
Huo Rulie's words were not telepathic, but a roar filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.
He was indeed unwilling to accept this, extremely unwilling to accept this… His only son was forever crippled, and he had used the Qionglong poison to plot against Mu Xuanyin’s only relative, and he had always believed that she was doomed to die, thus creating a distorted balance in his mind.
But, some time ago, he suddenly heard that Mu Xuanyin had found a way to save her, and in just a few months, Mu Bingyun was almost fully recovered.
His son had lived for a thousand years, but today, he was already at the end of his life, dying, and could die at any time... How could he accept such a huge gap!
Huo Rulie pushed Yan Wancang away and faced Mu Xuanyin. Under his anger and fire, the ice beneath his feet melted layer by layer: "Mu Xuanyin, if I reach the Divine Lord realm one day, the first thing I will do is to kill you!"
“Just you?” Mu Xuanyin sneered with extreme disdain.
“Hahahaha!” Huo Rulie laughed wildly. “As long as I, Huo Rulie, am alive, I will kill you one day! If you have the guts, kill me now!”
“Do you think I dare not?” Mu Xuanyin took a step forward, and the world was icy cold. “Huo Rulie, you should be thankful that my sister Bingyun is safe and sound. I made a solemn vow that if Bingyun made any mistakes, the day I abdicated as the Realm King would be the day your Jinwu Sect would be destroyed.”
“Now that Bingyun is safe, then we can keep the Jinwu Sect.” Mu Xuanyin stretched out her hand, and a chill that came from nowhere pierced into everyone’s heart and soul like a poisonous sting: “Your death is enough!!”
