Meng Jiuxuan was equally astonished, not expecting Tang Rao to win yet another complete victory.
Moreover, this lad had also extorted a large number of Blood Spirit Pills from the Ying Family.
The Ying Family had no choice but to hand them over because they couldn't just watch over a hundred cultivators die.
Not to mention, among them were five early-stage fusion cultivators.
If they were all to die, the Ying Family would likely fall into decline.
"Old Lady Meng, are you trying to start a war?" Ying Tianhe directly confronted Meng Jiuxuan.
Five hundred thousand Blood Spirit Pills, what a joke. Though the Ying Family could afford that many pills, it would definitely impact them significantly.
Thus, Ying Tianhe hoped to pressure Meng Jiuxuan by threatening war.
"If it comes to war, then let it be. The Nine-Headed King Hall has been quiet for too long anyway," Meng Jiuxuan said indifferently.
Thinking these tactics would force me? Ying Tianhe, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?
Ying Tianhe's face turned pitch black.
"Let's talk again in five days!" Ying Tianhe bellowed deeply.
"Then I shall take my leave, King of Shadow." Meng Jiuxuan smiled, saluted with his hands, and directly left the hall.
Outside the hall, Bo Ya suddenly stopped and looked behind.
Behind the banquet hall, palaces stood mid-air, with staircases leading straight to the heavens.
"Could Tang Rao be there?" Bo Ya pointed at the great hall.
Beside him, Meng Jiuxuan was startled, his face showing a slight change.
The Frost King Palace, huh…
If Tang Rao really sought death by going there, he might already be dead.
The Lord of Frost is notoriously brutal.
She stands independent of the nine leaders, yet none dare to provoke her. When that woman goes mad, she's truly terrifying.
Besides, she's a loner and has a penchant for killing.
"That shouldn't be the case..." Meng Jiuxuan muttered, uncertain herself.
Furthermore, she dared not step into the Frost King Palace, offending the Lord of Frost was not something fun.
If she's displeased, she could massacre your clan, then disappear into thin air, possibly bring down the entire clan.
…
Three days flashed by, within the courtyard of the Frost King Palace, Tang Rao gazed at the now clean and tidy pool in front of him, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
These three days, he barely rested, tidying up the pond during the day, setting up a small Spirit Gathering Array at night to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the Blood Spirit Pills, then proceeding to consume it.
He was already in the later stages of Opening Light, one step away from the peak.
However, the peak of Opening Light's demand for Spiritual Energy was absurdly high.
Fortunately, he managed to extort one hundred thousand Blood Spirit Pills from Meng Qinhou, roughly equating to one hundred million units of Spiritual Energy.
Considering some loss during conversion, that's about ninety million units.
"I should be able to advance to the peak of Opening Light," Tang Rao muttered, pursing his lips.
"Tang Laohei!" Suddenly, a voice boomed, like thunder, rolling over.
Tang Rao was slightly startled, wasn't that the voice of the Lord of Frost? Was she calling him?
"What is it, my benefactor?" Tang Rao responded loudly, the Lord of Frost should be able to hear him.
"Come over!" the voice of the Lord of Frost rang out again, seeming somewhat urgent.
Tang Rao: "…"
Although he didn't know what the Lord of Frost wanted, Tang Rao still left the courtyard and headed deeper inside the palace.
The palace was indeed vast, the further inside, the larger it became; buildings connected, one courtyard after another.
Such a large place for just one person, the Lord of Frost really did live energetically.
She must really love solitude.
It wasn't long before Tang Rao followed the voice and found a secluded courtyard.
"Tang Laohei, come in!" The voice of the Lord of Frost came from inside.
Tang Rao pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and stepped into the courtyard.
The courtyard wasn't very big, but it was filled with bamboo, crisp and cool...
He hadn't walked far when Tang Rao suddenly stopped, his face darkening...
You jerk, another pond!
You jerk, naked again!
Indeed, there before Tang Rao was another pond, and in it, the upper half of the Lord of Frost's body was exposed, her eyes tightly shut.
"Ah! I didn't see anything!" Tang Rao shouted, immediately turning around.
Damn it, why does it feel like the Lord of Frost has set a trap for me?
She wouldn't be trying to use this as an excuse to kill me, right?
But then again, whether it's once or twice, the figure of the Lord of Frost is really irresistible, the more I look, the more charming it becomes.
"Carry me out of the cold pond," the voice of the Lord of Frost came from behind.
"My savior, this isn't right..." Tang Rao refused, afraid that if I carry you and you strike me on the head, I'll be dead.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up! This is your chance to repay your debt!" the Lord of Frost shouted.
Tang Rao swiftly turned around, staring.
Seeing Tang Rao suddenly turning around startled the Lord of Frost too.
"Just carry you out of the pond?" Tang Rao asked.
"Yes," the Lord of Frost nodded, "But prepare yourself, the water in this pond is extremely cold, it might take your life."
"Can I use bamboo poles to lift you out instead?" Tang Rao asked.
The Lord of Frost: "..."
Tang Rao really fetched two bamboo poles, since there were bamboo all around.
He clamped the bamboo poles under his armpits and directly went to clamp the Lord of Frost with them.
However, as soon as the bamboo touched the water, it instantly turned white, emitted a cold air, and then cracked and shattered altogether.
Tang Rao: "⊙0⊙"
Damn, what kind of water is this? So formidable?
"If you're scared, forget it," the Lord of Frost said, this cold pond is indeed dangerous, if you're not capable enough, you might directly be frozen into an ice sculpture, and shatter like those two bamboo poles.
Splash!
Just as the Lord of Frost finished speaking, Tang Rao's foot went down.
"Hisss…" Feeling the chill over his whole body, Tang Rao couldn't help but shiver.
Damn it, this thing's way too cold.
The Lord of Frost looked at Tang Rao somewhat surprised, a slight warmth appearing in her eyes.
This guy, he really is a good person.
"My savior, the water is too cold!" Tang Rao's feet were already in the cold pond, his teeth chattering.
He didn't hold back, releasing his Spiritual Energy fully, and the first layer of the Nine Death Undying Body was also vigorously activated.
God knows what's the deal with this damn pond, if it weren't for the first layer of the Nine Death Undying Body, he would have been frozen into an ice sculpture already.
Although his total amount of Spiritual Energy is terrifyingly robust, the amount he could release instantly wasn't that extraordinary.
So, it felt, extremely cold.
"Don't stop releasing Spiritual Energy, keep doing it with all your power, hurry up!" the Lord of Frost shouted.
At this moment, if Tang Rao's Spiritual Energy were to be depleted, he would be done for.
She had no choice, if there hadn't been a slight issue during her cultivation, she wouldn't have been trapped in this cold pond, nor would she need this Tang Laohei to come over and see her naked.
Splashing, Tang Rao quickly ran towards the Lord of Frost, and after reaching her, without thinking, he embraced her.
Her smooth and full body suddenly pressed close.
