Ling Shuang gripped her longsword tightly and whispered, “Senior, that grand formation”
“We have to find a solution first.”
David’s gaze crossed the ice pond and the great formation, then fell on the Northern Underworld Palace in the distance. “The solution must be in the palace.”
After resting for a while, the three headed for the Northern Underworld Palace.
The closer you are, the more you can feel the majesty and eerie atmosphere of this ice crystal city.
There were no city walls surrounding the palace; Instead, there was a circle of ice crystal fence hundreds of feet tall and as sharp as a knife, engraved with defensive divine runes, exuding a cold sense of repulsion.
The only entrance was a towering arch of ice crystals, fifty feet high.
On both sides of the archway stood ten zhang tall ice statues depicting a deity, holding an ice spear and looking forward. Although lifeless, the statues gave the illusion that they could come to life at any time.
When David and his two friends were still a hundred feet away from the gate, two figures slowly walked out of the gate.
The two newcomers had different heights and builds, one tall and one short, one strong and the other thin, but both of them exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
The man on the left was nine feet tall, well built and burly, with a rough face as if hewn from stone, a bushy beard, and a pair of big bright eyes.
He was bare-chested, revealing his muscular, scarred, bronze-colored body. She only wore an ice blue combat skirt and carried a giant ice crystal ax as big as a door.
Just standing there gave you a feeling of incredible weight, like a mountain was pressing down on you.
His aura had reached the peak of the eighth rank of the Heavenly God Realm, just like the Third Divine General, Han Yu!
The man on the right is tall and slender, with a scary face. He looked to be around thirty years old, with a face as pale as paper, thin lips tightly pressed, and a pair of narrow eyes as cold as poisonous snakes.
He wore a magnificent ice blue robe with wide sleeves, his hands tucked inside. He looked fragile, but the cold that radiated from him was more dense and deadly than the giant’s cold.
The aura he exuded was also at the peak of the eighth rank of the Immortal Lord Realm, but the dangerous aura he emitted was even greater!
“The First Divine General of the Northern Underworld Palace, Man Shan.” The giant spoke, his voice resounding like a bell, causing the surrounding ice crystals to ripple.
“Xuanming, the second divine general of the Northern Underworld Palace.” The scary man’s voice was shrill, like ice needles piercing through glass.
The two stood side by side, blocking the entrance to the archway. Behind them, dozens of elite Protoss warriors could be vaguely seen standing ready within the archway.
“To be able to fight your way here and even fall into the Cold Prison, you must have a certain skill.”
Xuanming’s narrow eyes swept across David and the other two people, stopping for a moment on David before showing a hint of surprise. “First level Heavenly God Realm? Interesting. Looks like you’re keeping quite a lot of secrets.”
Man Shan impatiently swung his giant axe, sending out a gust of cold wind: “Enough nonsense! Barging into the forbidden area of the Northern Underworld Palace and wiping out my people, you deserve to die! Kid, state your name, because I didn’t finish off a nameless ghost with my axe!”
David took a deep breath, stepped forward, and cupped his hands, saying, “I am David. I came here with no evil intentions, only to take the Thousand Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus from the Blood Soul Cold Pool to save the people.”
“This item is of great use to me, and I am willing to exchange it for a treasure of equal value. I humbly implore you two, divine generals, to grant this request.”
“Can you help me?”
Man Shan laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, his laughter was so loud it broke the surface of the ice. “Kid, are you crazy? The Blood Soul Cold Pool is the sacred pool of my Northern Underworld Palace, and every blade of grass and every tree within it belongs to the gods!”
“You’ve wiped out so many of our people, and you expect us to be nice to you?”
Xuanming replied coldly, “Hand over the sword you have, along with the cultivation techniques and secret arts you practice, then cripple your own cultivation. Maybe that way you can avoid total death.”
“As for the two people behind you, the man’s soul was taken and purified, and the woman was made a slave. This is the result of violating the divine domain!”
The arrogance and hatred in his words were not hidden.
David’s face darkened.
He knew that negotiations were no longer possible, but the opposing party consisted of two peak level eight Immortal Lords, whose strength far surpassed any enemies he had encountered before.
