198: Have you finished discussing?

The warm smile on the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master's face immediately froze.

Mind?

Could she say she minded?

A Grand Elder had her arm severed in front of the palace gate and was then slapped unconscious.

A Personal Disciple was suppressed in an ice pit, her life unknown.

She, the dignified Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master, arrived with the power of the entire Xuanming Ice Island's Restrictions, yet the other party asked if she minded.

This was not an inquiry; it was blatant contempt.

An indescribable sense of humiliation, mixed with towering rage, exploded in her chest.

Just then, a cold and alluring female voice quietly sounded in the depths of her mind.

“Hehehe… The dignified Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master is being bullied by an unknown Cultivator to this extent, yet she dares not make a move.”

“Release this Guimu, and I will join forces with you to extract his Divine Soul and light a Heavenly Lantern. Wouldn’t that be delightful?”

The Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master's heart tightened, and she forcibly suppressed her surging Qi and blood.

She replied in her mind, “Yellow Springs Ghost Mother, you dare not try to Gu me!”

“You didn't see him make a move just now, but he took down Han Li Supreme Matriarch in a few exchanges. His strength is unfathomable, and even if we two join forces, we still have no certainty of victory.”

The female voice, called Yellow Springs Ghost Mother, let out a disdainful cold snort.

“Hmph, I didn’t expect that after Breaking Through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, your courage would become as small as a mouse's.”

“Back then, with the ‘Profound Ghost Token,’ this Guimu slaughtered countless top Sects. Great Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Late Stage had no chance of escaping in front of this Guimu.”

“If you release me, with my ghost body, I am immune to all Magic, no matter how strong his Physical Body or how profound his Divine Ability, how can he harm me in the slightest!”

Yellow Springs Ghost Mother's voice was filled with endless confidence and arrogance.

The Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master felt a little shaken by these words.

The light in her eyes flickered, and the suppressed rage in her heart was reignited.

Yellow Springs Ghost Mother's words also made some sense.

The Guimu was a wisp of remnant soul left over from ancient times, which she had obtained by chance and sealed in the “Profound Ghost Token.”

Its ghost body's toughness and its Divine Ability's Weird were far beyond what ordinary Cultivators could imagine.

She would attack, and the Guimu would sneak attack from the side, taking advantage of the element of surprise.

Coupled with the fact that this was the Xiao Ji Palace's home ground, with the power of the great array supporting it.

With these three combined, even when facing a true Soul Transformation Cultivator, she would dare to fight!

No matter how strong this black-robed man was, he was still in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Killing him and seizing his Magic Treasure might even allow her to obtain that strange three-colored flame Divine Ability.

At that time, she might be able to use this to glimpse the secrets of Soul Transformation!

Thinking of this, the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master's eyes gradually became cold, and a faint, almost imperceptible killing intent permeated from her body.

However, just as her killing intent was boiling and she was about to activate the Profound Ghost Token.

Lin Feng, on the opposite side, seemed a little impatient.

He flipped his wrist.

A Flying Sword, shimmering with sharp golden light, appeared in his palm.

It was a geng metal Flying Sword!

Lin Feng casually made a virtual slash at the empty space in front of her.

“Sizzle!”

A dazzling bolt of thunder light exploded out of thin air.

The next moment, golden electric snakes filled the sky, forming a huge thunder net, instantly enveloping the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master and the spiritual light of the Restrictions she had activated around her.

That thunder light was utterly firm and extremely yang, filled with an aura of destruction and purification.

Taiqing Divine Thunder!

At the same time, a cold voice appeared in the hearts of the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master and Yellow Springs Ghost Mother deep in her mind.

“Have you two finished discussing?”

“This thunder specifically destroys ghost creatures. If I were you two, I wouldn't choose to make a move.”

Boom!

The Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master's mind instantly went blank.

The killing intent on her face instantly solidified, replaced by an indescribable shock and fear.

He… he heard it?

Her Divine Thought communication with Yellow Springs Ghost Mother was so secretive, a direct communication at the Divine Soul level.

How could he possibly hear it!

And this also showed that his Divine Sense had reached an inconceivable level of power, far exceeding hers and Yellow Springs Ghost Mother's!

At this moment, the originally arrogant Yellow Springs Ghost Mother in her mind had completely fallen silent.

She didn't even dare to make a sound.

For Physical Body Cultivators, the Taiqing Divine Thunder in the sky might just be a powerful thunder Dao.

But for her, a Yin Soul ghost creature, it was like the most lethal poison in the world.

Just being illuminated by the distant thunder light, Yellow Springs Ghost Mother felt as if her ghost body was about to be ignited, and her Divine Soul was throbbing with pain.

She had no doubt that if she dared to show her head from the Profound Ghost Token, she would instantly be purified by this golden Divine Thunder, her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, without even a chance of Reincarnation.

Fear, unprecedented fear, instantly overwhelmed the mind of this ancient Guimu.

She curled up in the deepest part of the Profound Ghost Token, trembling, no longer daring to make the slightest move.

Lin Feng looked at the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master's ghost-stricken expression and slowly spoke, his voice still calm.

“I said before that I came here to discuss something with the Palace Master.”

“I have no intention of making a move.”

As his voice fell, he turned his wrist, and the geng metal Flying Sword and the Divine Thunder filling the sky vanished instantly, as if they were an illusion.

Even the Restrictions on the unconscious Han Li Supreme Matriarch on the ground were casually lifted by him.

As for Leng Senior Apprentice, who was deeply stuck in the ice pit, he completely ignored her.

When he had made his move earlier, a subtle, insidious dark force had already entered her body, lurking deep in her Meridians. The next time she fought with someone, as long as her magic power was pushed to its limit, the dark force would erupt, and her heart Meridians would shatter, leading to her death.

Even Immortals would find it hard to save her.

The Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master felt the terrifying pressure on her suddenly disappear, and she felt as if she had been granted a great pardon. Her body went limp, and she almost fell from mid-air.

She gasped for breath, her palace dress on her back already soaked with cold sweat.

She forced herself to stand, bowing from a distance to Lin Feng, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

“Many… many thanks, Daoist Brother, for showing mercy.”

“This time, my Xiao Ji Palace was blind and made Daoist Brother laugh.”

At this moment, she no longer dared to harbor any ulterior motives, only wanting to send this evil God away as soon as possible.

But then she remembered that the other party said he had something to discuss, and her scalp tingled again.

She didn't dare to receive him personally, so her gaze shifted to Bai Yao Yi, who had been in a dazed state from beginning to end.

“Bai Yao Yi!”

The Palace Master's voice carried an undeniable authority.

“Why aren't you taking Qinglian Daoist Brother to the main hall to rest! You must entertain him thoroughly and never neglect our esteemed guest!”

Lin Feng, hearing this, let out a cold laugh.

“White Fairy and I are on good terms. You don't need to order her around anymore.”

He turned his head and smiled gently at Bai Yao Yi, who was still a little dazed.

“White Fairy, let's go.”

After saying that, he actually ignored the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master, took a step, and walked directly towards the grand ice crystal palace gate.

His leisurely stroll made it seem as if he was the Dominator of this Xuanming Ice Island.

Bai Yao Yi's delicate body trembled. She subconsciously glanced at the Palace Master, whose face was extremely ugly, and then at Lin Feng's tall back. Finally, she bit her lip and quickly followed him.

“You!”

The Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master trembled with anger as she watched their retreating figures.

Lin Feng stopped halfway and said without turning his head:

“I will find a place to wait. Palace Master, you'd best hurry.”

“My patience is limited.”

As his voice fell, an icy, bone-chilling killing intent, like a sharp sword, instantly locked onto the Xiao Ji Palace Master.

It was only for an instant, then it disappeared.

But the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She clearly felt how close she had been to death just now.

She had no doubt that if she dared to hesitate any longer, the other party would truly kill her.

It wasn't until Lin Feng and Bai Yao Yi's figures completely disappeared behind the palace gate that she let out a long, turbid breath, feeling an endless bitterness and frustration in her heart.

She looked down at the three disheveled people on the ground but ultimately chose not to scold them.

Doing so now was meaningless.

She wearily waved her hand at the only remaining Xiao Senior Apprentice.

“Take the two Elders down to heal their injuries.”

“Yes, Palace Master.”

Xiao Senior Apprentice felt as if he had been granted a great pardon. He quickly helped up the unconscious Han Li Supreme Matriarch, then laboriously dug Leng Senior Apprentice out of the ice pit, and clumsily flew towards the side hall.

On the desolate ice plain, only the Xiao Ji Palace Palace Master remained.

She looked up at the ice crystal palace that she had dominated for hundreds of years, her heart filled with unprecedented unease.

Finally, she took a deep breath, tidied her somewhat disheveled appearance, and flew towards the main hall.
