Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates
Chapter 1511 - 1494: Plague God Ice and Snow Palace
The Central Province Eighteen Domains, each vast and boundless, among which the Snow Domain stands out as the most unique. This domain is perpetually snow-covered, the snow never melting, creating a world of ice and snow.
The martial artists living within the Snow Domain mostly have indifferent personalities. Moreover, the top-tier forces of the Central Province, Snow Domain, rarely participate in the rivalries of the Central Province, making the Snow Domain very stable.
Apart from the unbearably harsh climate of the Snow Domain for ordinary people, it’s considered one of the most suitable places for focused cultivation among the Central Province’s Eighteen Domains.
However, recently, the Snow Domain has been in turmoil, a tense atmosphere of anxiety spreading through its cities.
Some martial artists once saw the martial artists from the Ultimate Palace appear in the Snow Domain, and soon after, these Ultimate Palace martial artists began initial attacks on the Ice and Snow Palace, causing numerous casualties among its martial artists.
This news spread like a splash of cold water into a hot pan, causing the entire Snow Domain to shake.
Heavens, is the Ultimate Palace truly intending to take action against the top-tier force Ice and Snow Palace?
Although the Ice and Snow Palace is powerful, ranking as a top-tier force in the Central Province, many people know that merely relying on the Ice and Snow Palace cannot withstand the Ultimate Palace.
Thus, many martial artists have already fled the Snow Domain, fearing getting caught in the war between the Ultimate Palace and the Ice and Snow Palace.
"The prestigious top-tier force Ice and Snow Palace, to fall into such a plight, truly is..."
In Snow Pass City, a border city of the Snow Domain, a tall young man in a long robe walks within the city, accompanied by a young woman who wears green clothes and has her face veiled with light silk.
This pair of man and woman are Xiao Ye and Bing Ya, who traveled from the Three Alliances Domain to the Snow Domain.
Upon arriving in the Snow Domain, Xiao Ye immediately sensed an unusual tension permeating the air, while hearing many rumors about the Ice and Snow Palace.
Nowadays, the Ice and Snow Palace... is in a miserable state!
The Ultimate Palace has launched a war, igniting battle in the Central Province. Various forces across the Central Province, besides actively responding to the calls from the Four Great Emperor Domains to eliminate the Ultimate Palace martial artists, are also searching for trustworthy allies to unite, fearing the Ultimate Palace’s bloodbath.
Yet, the Ice and Snow Palace stands alone.
No sect forces are willing to ally with the Ice and Snow Palace.
Even those forces, big or small, once having good relations with the Ice and Snow Palace, shut their doors to its envoys.
The Ice and Snow Palace, once awe-inspiring as a top-tier force, suddenly became a plague avoided by all Central State martial artists, forced to face the Ultimate Palace’s assaults alone.
And the reason for this... is Xiao Ye!
The last war between the Wuji Sect and Iron Blood Emperor Domain was overwhelmingly impactful, with Xiao Ye’s cards displayed astonished the world. Apart from having eight senior brothers who are half-step emperors, he also befriended the Iron Blood Emperor. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Even the war launched by the Ultimate Palace is because of him.
Xiao Ye’s prominence in the Central Province now surpasses the masters of the Four Great Emperor Domains, causing many veteran martial artists to proclaim that the Wuji Sect will soon replace the status of the Four Great Emperor Domains.
And for Xiao Ye himself, his chances to become a Great Emperor this lifetime are very high.
The awkward relationship between the Ice and Snow Palace and him is known by all.
At this juncture, anyone getting close to the Ice and Snow Palace would, in effect, offend the Wuji Sect and himself, Xiao Ye.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
"Xiao Ye... thank you."
A pair of jade hands clasped Xiao Ye’s palm, accompanied by a melodious voice. Beside him, Bing Ya looks at him with grateful eyes.
She knew, during the Holy Daughter marriage selection ceremony, the Ice and Snow Palace didn’t acknowledge Xiao Ye’s identity, causing him immense hurt.
Yet now, Xiao Ye is still willing to come to the Snow Domain on her behalf, making her naturally very grateful.
"The Snow Domain is like your home, raising you into a generation’s Holy Daughter. Even if they were excessively harsh in the past, accompanying you back once isn’t a big deal."
"As for that past affair, I haven’t kept it in mind. I’ve come to the Snow Domain to see Huang Taiji and understand how powerful the Ultimate Palace is," Xiao Ye discerned Bing Ya’s emotions, smiled slightly, and explained.
"Alright!"
Bing Ya smiled sweetly, her grip on Xiao Ye’s jade hand tightened, and the two’s figures vanished from the city.
"Hmm?"
"Did I just see Master Xiao Ye and the Ice and Snow Palace Saintess?"
In the city, an Emperor Realm martial artist stared blankly at where Xiao Ye and Bing Ya had just stood, murmuring.
"Haha, stop joking, what kind of figure is Master Xiao Ye? How could he come to such a small place as ours?"
"Exactly, don’t you know? The Ice and Snow Palace once offended Master Xiao Ye?"
"The Ice and Snow Palace seeks allies everywhere but hasn’t approached the Wuji Sect. Why is this? Isn’t it because they know themselves that Master Xiao Ye of the Wuji Sect won’t forgive them?"
"Alas, poor Ice and Snow Palace. Originally, Master Xiao Ye was their son-in-law. If they had made the right choice back then, receiving Master Xiao Ye’s patronage, they would surely have become like the Four Great Emperor Domains. How could they fall into this predicament..."
"The Ice and Snow Palace missed out on a figure like Master Xiao Ye, destined to decline. The Ultimate Palace probably understood this point and thus chose the Ice and Snow Palace amongst top-tier forces to strike first."
...
This martial artist’s murmur immediately drew laughter from those around.
Within the city, martial artists discussing the relationship between the Ice and Snow Palace and Xiao Ye sighed in lament for the Ice and Snow Palace.
Ten days later, a message spread through the Snow Domain, shocking its martial artists!
The Ultimate Palace’s army reappeared, engaging in fierce battle with the strong ones from the Ice and Snow Palace on the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain, igniting war.
Although the war has just erupted, the Ultimate Palace came fiercely this time, with numerous strong figures. The martial artists from the Ice and Snow Palace have already fallen massively, the situation precarious!
Everyone knows that within the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain lies the array leading to the Ice and Snow Palace.
Once the defense of the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain is breached, the entire Ice and Snow Palace is almost doomed!
This battle concerns the survival of the Ice and Snow Palace!
For a time, martial artists within the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain retreated, not daring to approach, except for two figures, a man and a woman, who teleported through the transmission array and rushed towards the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain.
They seemed like a pair of celestial couples, indifferent to the great conflict erupting within the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain.
"Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain?"
"How nostalgic, the Saintess marriage selection’s three trials started here. Now, the martial artists of the Ice and Snow Palace suffering here, is this fate?"
High above, Xiao Ye stared at the Ten Thousand Miles Snow Mountain emerging into view, his black hair danced wildly in the wind, murmuring softly.
He truly wishes to see how the palace master of the Ice and Snow Palace, as well as the elders of the Ice and Snow Palace, will react when meeting him again.
