“The people of the Northern Dark God Clan are cold-hearted and aloof. They consider themselves to be the descendants of gods and always look down on ‘human’ cultivators outside the Ice Plains. They are extremely xenophobic.”
“Let alone human cultivators, even powerful beings from other races, if they barge into the forbidden area without an invitation or special reason, at best they will be expelled, and at worst they will be killed on the spot, with no room for negotiation at all.”
“Within the Ten Heavens, there are many examples of people who, relying on their superior cultivation, ventured into the Ice Plains in search of treasures, only to perish at the hands of the gods. There are quite a lot of examples like this.”
After hearing this, David realized that the so-called Northern Darkness God Clan was actually a branch of the God Clan.
But they all have the same personality: very arrogant and looking down on everyone
The reason he has such a personality is because he hasn’t been beaten much.
If you beat them a few more times, they will behave well.
Even David, who himself came from the blood of the Golden Dragon, had never been this arrogant!
The Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord’s face turned extremely ugly, and his fists turned slightly white at the knuckles.
It’s like adding injury on top of injury; not only is the environment dangerous and the treasures rare, but they also have to deal with a troublesome local tyrant.
“So what if they are gods?”
David’s voice was calm, but contained undeniable firmness: “I will fight against the gods. Let alone just a branch of the gods, even if it is the true territory of the gods, I will still break in.”
“Don’t worry, senior. Since I’ve promised you, I will definitely find a way to obtain the Blood Lotus. However, the strategy needs to be changed; we can’t just force our way in.”
David was not afraid of the gods, and he even wanted to find the patriarch of the gods and ask him to release Wan Jianxing.
Seeing that David had already made up his mind, Ling Yunzi knew that any further persuasion would be futile and would only result in him being belittled.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Senior Chen is a person of great integrity, whom I greatly admire. Since you are determined to leave, although my Xuantian Sword Sect does not have close relations with the Beiming Divine Clan, we at least have some records about the terrain, climate changes, and some potentially dangerous areas in the outer regions of the Eternal Ice Plains and even some parts of the Central Region.”
“Because you are new to Tenth Heaven, you are completely unfamiliar with this place. Having someone familiar with this area to guide you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and conflict.”
He looked outside the hall and called, “Shuang’er, come in.”
The palace doors opened slightly, and Ling Shuang, dressed in plain white sword attire and with a calm and haughty demeanor, stepped in gracefully. He first bowed to Ling Yunzi and David: “Father, Senior Chen.”
His gaze swept across the Red Cloud Demon Lord, and he paused for a moment, but did not show much surprise, obviously having heard something outside.
“Shuang’er, Senior Chen, and Fellow Daoist Chiyun intend to go to the Plains of Eternal Ice to search for life-saving elixir.”
“You have traveled with the Heavenly Flame Swordmaster to various places in the Ten Heavens and are quite familiar with those areas. Therefore, you will guide Senior Chen and must do your best to help him.”
Ling Yunzi instructed, his eyes showing trust in his daughter as well as a hint of almost imperceptible worry.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Shuang grasped his hand and answered, “Yes, Father. Your daughter will do her best.”
He turned to David, “Senior Chen, you have given me a second chance in life, both for the Sword Sect and for Ling Shuang. If you have any instructions, Ling Shuang will do anything, even at the cost of her life.”
Ling Shuang was very grateful to David. If it weren’t for David, the Xuan Tian Sword Sect would have been destroyed, and he himself would probably be in danger.
If David asked her to strip naked and serve him right then and there, Ling Shuang would not hesitate.
It was an honor for him to serve a great hero like David.
To be played by a man like this is an honor.
David looked at Ling Shuang and saw admiration and devotion in her eyes.
After all, David had been with so many women, so he could understand their gazes and thoughts at a glance, and in the end, none of the women could resist falling in love with him.
It seemed Ling Shuang was no exception. He would not feel lonely and bored on the trip to the Ice Plains. It’s great to have a woman to talk to and train with.
“Then, thank you very much, Sect Leader Ling, and thank you for your help, Miss Ling Shuang.” David cupped his hands in thanks.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord also immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Ling Yunzi and Ling Shuang: “I will never forget your great kindness!”
