Chapter 1495: Sect Master of the Ice Palace Sect

Chapter 1494 – Sect Master of the Ice Palace Sect

Nitian didn’t do anything to Lin Yi, not because he was scared of him, but because Lin Yi would retaliate after killing Yu Bing. He’d be in a difficult spot after that.

After all, if he were to move on Lin Yi, he’d piss of Naipao- and Naipao was from an ancient sect. That meant that he had pride. One couldn’t just snatch his prey away from him. But if he didn’t do anything, wouldn’t he just be waiting for Lin Yi to attack them?

Nitian was quite three dimensional when considering his options- this was also why he was one of the candidates for the heir, after all. He wasn’t reckless.

Lin Yi and Yu Bing, on the other hand, had heard everything! Yu Bing still hadn’t slept- the test was tomorrow, and he was extremely nervous, after all. The sounds outside jolted him up at once.

When he heard that Yu Shan was planning on killing him, a rage appeared on Yu Bing’s face. He didn’t expect Yu Shan to go through such lengths! Even Lin Yi was just planning on crippling him, but Yu Shan was plotting to outright murder him!

“Hear that? You’re kind, but your cousin isn’t.” Lin Yi saw that rage as well.

“Fuu...” Yu Bing took a deep breath as if he’d just decided something big. “You’re right... I can’t change some by myself. Rather than continuing my life fearful of plots and schemes from my cousin, I might as well end it all here!”

“Ha...” Lin Yi smiled. “It’s about time you realized!”

The night went by silently, and at five-thirty, Lin Yi left the jade space and came back to reality, giving Yu Bing a call before going to the washroom.

Because Lin Yi was acting as an alarm clock, Yu Bing managed to have a short but restful sleep, with no worry of being late. After Lin Yi woke him up, he quickly brushed up before leaving with Lin Yi to wait for the sect members of the Ice Palace.

The clock had just struck six, but the field was filled with disciples already- none of them wanted to be less than early.

Even Naipao and Nitian didn’t dare drag things out- they were waiting as well.

At the peak of an icy mountain, where the Ice Palace was located.

“This is all the information on this time’s practitioners; please take a look, sect master!” Qing took the registration log to a white-clothed woman.

This was the sect master of the Ice Palace, the absolute top of the Ice Palace.

The woman took over the registration and flipped through it.

She spent a long time looking through all the backgrounds of each candidate, feeling a little disappointed once she was done. “Aunt Qing, is Yang Qiqi the only girl this time?”

“Yes, Sect Master, and she’s even a physical practitioner...” Qing nodded.

“Looks like shifu will be disappointed once more this time...” The woman sighed slightly. “It’s all because of me, not being able to take the heirship of Frost Mountain...”

“Sect Master, you’re already a Sky class late phase peak master at your young age- you’re already a one of a kind genius! But the heirship of the Frost Mountain has to do with the properties of the body...” Qing consoled. “After all, looking at the other ancient houses and sects, which one of them have some reach Sky class at your age, Sect Master?”

“But... To open the seal of the Sky Class Island, I’d need to obtain the heirship of Frost Mountain’s Ice...” The girl frowned. “The time remaining until the Sky class meeting is near, and as one of the leaders of that meeting, if we still don’t have an heir... The meeting itself would lose its meaning...”

“The other houses don’t have any information as well, right? An heir isn’t that easily found!” Qing smiled bitterly.

“Their lack of news doesn’t mean they haven’t found one. The meaning of an heir in the ancient sect world isn’t just for breaking the Sky class island seal- the most important thing is chasing the Way of the Sky after breaking past Sky class...” The girl said. “So before the heir grows up, nobody would announce it, in case any envious parties were to interfere.”

“That’s true...” Qing nodded. “Sect Master, you may not be the heir candidate, but haven’t you felt a part of the heirship as well? That’s fate...”

“It’s just a small part...” The girl smiled bitterly. “At the beginning, when shifu left, she had hoped so much for me to be able to get the heirship and finally go visit her one day to meet, but now... If it’s just us Ice Palace Sect not getting an heir and breaking the Sky Island seal, we’d be the sinners- I’d have let her down!”

“We still have time, don’t we? Let’s just keep looking- we can’t rush these things. If it really must be done, we can organize another test next year and let the requirements be a bit looser- someone will appear for sure.” Qing suggested.

“That’s the only way... But I still can’t let it go. I must go over these participants with my own eyes.” The girl said.

“That’s good, too- let’s all lead them to the mountain together.” Qing knew that the Sect Master wouldn’t let it go unless she looked at Qiqi, the only girl, herself.

It was six-thirty, and just when the practitioners were wondering where the sect master’s maiden was, two figures, one green, and one white, came floating in the sky! The green-clothed one was evidently Elder Qing, Sky class mid-phase, with the white-clothed one being Sky class late phase peak!

The two had strong qinggong themselves and were upon the group immediately. Just as everyone stood there, stunned, Qing opened her mouth. “This is the sect master of the Ice Palace- she will be explaining the rules and rewards of this test!”

This was Qing’s task, but since the sect master came down herself, letting her do it would be better.

Just as Qing uttered the name of the Sect maser, the group of disciples all tensed- even Naipao and Nitian stared with shock! This also proved their guesses yesterday to be correct- the sect master was indeed late phase peak of Sky class!

After all, the ones of the ancient sects and ancient houses- while having Sky class late phase peak masters of their own, were all usually older people like Elders and heads of the house. The younger generation rarely had Sky class strength, and most of them were Earth class!
