86: Disciple

Tsk, tsk, tsk, could it be that the so-called Palace Master has fallen in love?

Is it going to be a repeat of the Ice Palace Saintess incident?

The Sword Sect Master tsked as he looked at the empty spot where they had just been teleported away.

If he could, he really wanted to taste this big melon.

There was one thing very few people knew, so few that the number of people who knew could be counted on two hands.

That was, the world only knew that a Saintess of the Ice Palace had fallen in love with a man.

She threatened to die, disregarding the opposition of the elders, and brought him into the Ice Palace.

At first, there was nothing unusual.

However, what countless people didn't expect was that the man was a demonic cultivator.

Moreover, he was a peak Saint Realm demonic cultivator, and he had some treasure on him that concealed his aura.

Finally, in the Demonic Valley, he did something to the Ice Palace Saintess and her protector, breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm in one fell swoop.

But it wasn't hard to guess; he probably absorbed or sacrificed the Saintess and her protector to advance to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

After all, even the corpses of the Saintess and her protector were never found, so they could only give up in frustration.

Fortunately, that demonic cultivator was eventually slain by the Grand Elder, otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died on the continent.

......

Northern Territory.

Deep within the Ice Palace.

Swish!

A golden light rose from the empty space in front of the two old women, and three figures were teleported out.

Originally, the two Supreme Elders were preparing to bow to Jiang Hanxi.

But upon seeing one of the figures clearly, their eyes narrowed, killing intent emerged, and a chilling aura permeated the air.

In just an instant, the temperature in the room dropped to an extreme low.

This was because they saw a man among the people who returned this time.

“Old Third! Are you senile?! How could you bring a man back to the Palace?!”

Wang Feng recognized all Three Supreme Elders; the Grand Elder, who was leading, roared, her voice filled with immense anger.

“I couldn't help it, Palace Master insisted on bringing him back. Am I supposed to defy the Palace Master's words?!”

The old woman standing beside Wang Feng also retorted, not to be outdone.

“Yes, I brought him back.”

Seeing Jiang Hanxi speak, the three finally stopped arguing, and their anger subsided a little.

They still held great respect for Jiang Hanxi, as she could be considered one of the Ice Palace's foundations.

When Jiang Hanxi was an Empress, she brought countless resources and foundations to the Ice Palace.

Even if Jiang Hanxi was not an Empress now, she definitely possessed extremely powerful trump cards.

“He might have the potential of an Empress. I brought him back for a test, and he also saved my life.”

The Three Supreme Elders were startled by Jiang Hanxi's words; they still greatly trusted Jiang Hanxi's words.

“My cultivation isn't high right now, so you all can proceed.”

Jiang Hanxi pulled Wang Feng, who was trembling behind her, forward.

“What, what is going on here?”

Wang Feng looked bewildered, but inwardly, he cursed, he shouldn't have come to the Ice Palace with Jiang Hanxi!

Those three old hags looked at him the same way ten thousand years ago, and they were looking at him the same way now.

Each of them looked as if they wanted to kill him.

“Don't be afraid, it'll be over soon.”

Jiang Hanxi whispered softly beside Wang Feng.

This caused the Three Supreme Elders to feel a suffocating sensation in their hearts!

The Palace Master was actually so gentle to a man! What about that cold, aloof Empress?!

Where did she go?!

No! This man must be driven out, or they should find an opportunity to secretly kill him.

“Don't move.”

The leading Supreme Elder said in an unfriendly tone, reaching out to grab Wang Feng's shoulder, preparing to scan his body.

“You should know, the potential of an Empress is rare and hard to come by, so... you are not allowed to intentionally put pressure on him.”

The Grand Elder, who was about to give Wang Feng a hard time, deflated at Jiang Hanxi's words.

This made her even more determined to secretly kill Wang Feng, provided he truly didn't possess the potential of an Empress.

Helpless, the Grand Elder could only proceed with a normal examination of Wang Feng's body.

This is... the same spiritual power as that rogue Empress from ten thousand years ago!

The Grand Elder grew more astonished as she continued to observe.

This was because the nature and color of the spiritual power within Wang Feng's body were exactly the same as that Empress who visited their Ice Palace ten thousand years ago.

Although that rogue Empress was eventually slain by the Empress.

But if this man truly had the same physique as that Empress, then this also proved that this man definitely possessed the potential of an Empress!

To further confirm that Wang Feng had the same physique as that Empress, the Grand Elder then took out a jade-rimmed mirror.

Wang Feng was shocked just by a glance.

Is it necessary? Using a top-grade Saint Artifact to test a physique!

Besides, my Chaotic Overlord Body Technique hasn't even reached the third layer yet. At most, you'll only see the aura.

Wang Feng inwardly complained, but his Chaotic Overlord Body Technique should be close to the second layer.

It should break through when he enters the Expansion Spirit Realm, and when he enters the Yuansan Realm, the Chaotic Overlord Body will start to exert its power.

At that time, he would be invincible within a major realm, unless he faced some exceptionally talented prodigies.

The old woman in front of Wang Feng raised the mirror, aimed it at Wang Feng, and the mirror immediately burst forth with a golden light.

When the golden light shone on Wang Feng, he only felt the Chaotic Spiritual Power within his body being stimulated and erupting.

In an instant, the golden light from the mirror was enveloped by the Chaotic Spiritual Power.

The originally normal golden light was suddenly dyed with the color of chaos.

But just as it was about to touch the mirror itself, it dissipated.

“The same physique as that Empress from ten thousand years ago, but unfortunately, it hasn't fully awakened yet.”

Actually, the Grand Elder didn't need to say it; they already understood in their hearts.

Fortunately, Wang Feng's physique hadn't fully evolved yet; otherwise, with just that stimulation, it would probably have caused a celestial phenomenon.

At that time, the entire Ice Palace would probably be enveloped by chaotic energy surging from beyond the heavens for a while, though it wouldn't have much impact.

The Three Supreme Elders' attitudes improved slightly. Such a person must either become one of them or become... a dead person!

The Grand Elder changed her previous attitude and planned to take Wang Feng as her disciple.

Then, she would observe his character; if it wasn't good, she would castrate him, or if all else failed, she would secretly kill him.

A person with the potential of an Empress was qualified for the Ice Palace to make an exception and take him in, provided his character wasn't rotten to the core.

“Are you willing to...”

“From now on, he will be my personal disciple. You all can issue the orders. Tomorrow, I will take him to meet everyone.”

The Grand Elder's words were cut off by Jiang Hanxi, who stepped forward.

Then she pulled Wang Feng behind her, as if afraid he would be snatched away.

“Palace Master, think twice!”

“Your cultivation hasn't risen yet, you need to focus on cultivating!”

“Yes, you should cultivate well, just leave him to us. Palace Master, think before you act!”

In an instant, the three old women bitterly advised Jiang Hanxi, wanting her to hand Wang Feng over to them.

But Jiang Hanxi's attitude was firm, her expression cold, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, ignoring them.

“I said, from now on, he will be my personal disciple. As for cultivation... I will not delay it because of him.”

“Palace Master!”

“Hmm?”

The Three Supreme Elders still wanted to say something, but Jiang Hanxi's single hum silenced them. They could only let out a sigh of helplessness.
