Chapter 518: Flying Ghost! Instantly Reduced to Ice Sect!
"Your Majesty, I only wanted to discuss the Woeful Poison Body with your sister, Xiao Yi Xian! I just wanted to make my poison body purer… Please, let me go!"
Near the now shattered energy barrier, Bing He, the Ice Sovereign, was in an extremely miserable state.
Gone was the graceful, refreshed demeanor he had earlier.
Now, he regretted everything.
He should never have accepted the Tianming Sect's invitation to form the Nether River Alliance.
On the surface, the alliance seemed powerful.
But in reality?
It was a complete joke.
Only he, as its leader, knew how utterly useless it was.
Neither Tianming Sect nor Ice River Valley had any real control.
They were just pawns.
The real mastermind behind the alliance was Soul Hall.
Even if he hadn't sought an alliance, Tianming Sect would have come to him eventually.
Because Soul Hall had already set its sights on Cai Lin's faction.
It was only a matter of time.
Whether it was Tianming Sect or Ice River Valley both were under Soul Hall's control.
Every move Bing He made had to follow Soul Hall's orders.
For a Valley Master, that was an unbearable humiliation.
But he had no choice.
Because… he was too weak.
If others on the continent heard him say that, they'd laugh hysterically.
"The Valley Master of Ice River Valley, calling himself weak?"
What a joke.
But the truth was
The stronger you become, the more terrifying your enemies.
To most, Bing He was an elite Dou Zun.
But in his eyes?
He was nothing.
Soul Hall alone had nine Heavenly Venerates, all stronger than him.
He had only met the Eighth Venerate, and even that one was already above his level.
At best, he could match the weakest, Ninth Venerate.
Above them?
The Vice Hall Masters.
And above them?
The Hall Master.
That was true terror.
So Bing He had no choice but to obey.
Go where he was ordered.
Fight where he was ordered.
And now?
Just because he wanted a Woeful Poison Body, Ice River Valley was a mess.
He had considered regret, but
What was the point?
He was a dog on a leash.
If he resisted, Ice River Valley would be exterminated.
But just now
He realized there was another force just as terrifying as Soul Hall.
Medusa!
Her strength was beyond anything he had imagined.
When he and Zhai Xing Ghost tried to escape, they panicked when they ran into an energy barrier.
No matter how much they attacked, they couldn't break it.
That's when they realized
This was why no one else had come to help.
They had assumed they could call for reinforcements or teleport away.
But now
They were trapped.
They had been playing a game of life and death, completely oblivious to their doom.
In despair, they finally saw her
The Queen of the Snake People, Cai Lin.
A single wave of her delicate hand, and Zhai Xing Ghost was blasted away.
Straight into the energy barrier.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flung like a severed kite, disappearing into the distance.
Dead or alive?
No one knew.
All they saw was his frozen expression of disbelief as he was sent flying out of the barrier.
And now
Only Bing He remained.
And at this moment
He felt true fear.
Because something wasn't right.
That attack just now
It wasn't just Medusa's power.
No, her aura was different from the energy that formed the barrier.
Even if she were a Dou Zun at her peak, she shouldn't have been able to break it.
Besides, he could sense her level
Seven-Star Dou Zun.
She wasn't a Saint.
So there was only one explanation.
That energy barrier…
It was set up by Wu Tian!
Realizing this, Bing He felt his stomach drop.
The true monster had yet to even show himself.
Medusa's gorgeous eyes turned icy cold.
She didn't care what excuses Bing He had.
He had attacked her faction.
That alone was punishable by death.
And
He was an ice-type Dou Qi user.
That meant one thing
She and Wu Tian wouldn't let him off so easily.
Because
This reminded them of someone.
Hai Bodong.
And since they had "fate" with ice users
Bing He would not be killed.
But
He'd experience something far worse.
"You finally recognize your mistake? Fine. I won't kill you."
Medusa's smile was cold.
"I will seal your cultivation. If you behave, perhaps… I will let you go one day."
Bing He's eyes widened in shock.
What?
She's not going to kill me?!
But…
He had attacked Cai Lin's faction multiple times.
How could she just let him go?!
"Seal my cultivation…?"
His mind raced.
He had seen this technique before.
Many high-level magical beasts had similar abilities.
But the Snake People Tribe had a unique sealing art
One that allowed multiple people to cultivate the same technique and combine their power in battle.
A rare and terrifying ability.
He remembered
Medusa had sealed Hai Bodong before.
It had been a long time since she last used it.
She hadn't needed to.
But now
She finally had the chance to showcase her power.
With a single wave of her hand
Zhai Xing Ghost was gone.
Now
It was his turn.
"Medusa's Gaze!"
Her irises shimmered with crimson light.
The moment Bing He met her gaze
A massive, fiery-red python appeared before him.
It coiled in the air, its forked tongue flickering
Then, in an instant
It lunged at him.
Bing He's body trembled.
He felt his cultivation plummeting
Eight-Star Dou Zun…
Seven-Star…
Six-Star…
Five-Star…
Four-Star…
Three-Star…
Two-Star…
One-Star…
Peak Dou Zong…
Eight-Star Dou Zong…
Five-Star Dou Zong…
And finally
He stopped at Five-Star Dou Zong.
Bing He froze.
His mind went blank.
She had sealed him… without even asking?!
He never even agreed to this!
One moment, he was an Eight-Star Dou Zun
Now?
He was just… an Ice Sect Elder?!
"What the f* just happened?!"**
