Chapter 1130 - 1129: Divine Palace Disciples

Ice and Snow Divine Palace, courtyard!

This place is where the disciples of the Divine Palace typically engage in duels and cultivation.

At one end of the courtyard, a gigantic white serpentine beast is struggling mightily. The serpent, measuring thousands of feet in length, is bound by enormous chains, and with each twist, it causes a deafening tremor.

Earlier.

Yu Luoxuan was preparing a demonstration for the disciples in the courtyard, but she suddenly changed her expression drastically, and without a word, took several Celestial Immortals to fly into the sky, leaving the disciples staring at each other in bewilderment.

Furthermore.

Disciples on missions outside have already received the palace's urgent summons and are rushing back gradually. After all, two unfamiliar Celestial Immortals suddenly descended to the Extreme North to battle, and if preparations aren't made early, it may lead to significant casualties among the disciples.

The Divine Palace is unlike the Thirty-Six Sects of the Celestial South, with few disciples in the palace, each loss being a considerable damage.

At this moment.

Many disciples at the palace gates were in shock, confusion, or awe.

They were all engaged in missions outside, practicing in the courtyard, or cultivating in seclusion, and received the urgent summons, hastily rushing to this location.

"What on earth is happening? I was performing a task; why was I suddenly called back?" a girl in a pink dress voiced her displeasure, "I have been waiting for half a month for that beast!"

"You got it easy; I had been tracking that Snow Fox for half a year, about to drive it into a trap, when I received the sect's orders!"

"We were awaiting guidance from the master; however, something suddenly happened, and the master left abruptly... The sect issued orders, indicating it must be something significant... Just now, I noticed all the Celestial Immortals in the palace have left!"

Due to the urgency of the situation, no one received any explicit information, and amidst the confusion, the courtyard was in disarray.

The hearing left many girls more bewildered.

Remember.

The Divine Palace, by strength, nearly reigns supreme in the Extreme North. It is foremost in the Kunlun Realm at large. For something to cause such anxiety in the palace, it likely isn't a trivial matter.

"It must be a Celestial Immortal duel!"

"Senior Sister Han?"

The crowd was startled.

She was seen within the group, a cold and proud woman in an elegant white dress stood there.

If Ye Qingchen were present, he undoubtedly would recognize her; it was Han Yue Ran, whom he had once met.

Once Han Yue Ran spoke, it immediately captured everyone's attention.

She calmly said:

"When I returned to the palace, I saw from afar a fiery cloud spanning thousands of miles in the sky, enormous in momentum, overshadowing the heavens and almost covering half the Extreme North; it's entirely beyond what an Earth Immortal can wield."

The entire courtyard fell deathly silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yet it makes sense, such prowess is beyond what an Earth Immortal can wield. Reflecting on the prior sight of that fiery cloud, everyone felt dizzy but infinitely aspirational.

The paths they pursued, not all lead to this Realm?

"So it is a Celestial Immortal duel!"

"Indeed, only battles between Celestial Immortals can possess such immense power!"

"Tang Xin, you came from the area near the mountains, do you know what occurred there?"

Han Yue Ran, hands behind her back, noticed Tang Xin and Wen Sixian rushing from the other side of the courtyard, her eyes brightened as she asked: "I recall, you were carrying out tasks near the mountains, do you know what happened there?"

Tang Xin glanced at Wen Sixian, whose face was ashen, speaking weakly:

"It was a Celestial Immortal duel!"

"One side is Yi Tianli, the Sect Leader of Cyan Flame Sect; that fiery cloud was his Li Fire Array set to resist a powerful adversary!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's doubts only surged rather than diminished.

Yi Tianli from Cyan Flame Sect, everyone had heard of him.

A sect's leader, Celestial Immortal powerhouse, his status was extremely high. Despite this distance from Southern Heaven, what adversary could be formidable enough to force Yi Tianli into the Extreme North, employing such a Grand Array?

"Who is the opponent?"

Someone asked loudly.

"It is Ye Qingchen..."

Tang Xin said weakly.

Who is Ye Qingchen?

The questioner frowned, with everyone else puzzled as if unintelligible.

Only Han Yue Ran suddenly remembered something, her eyes sharpened as she quickly turned her gaze to a corner.

There, a young girl with delicate features, fair complexion and red lips.

It was Ye Qing; who else could it be?

Ye Qing furrowed her brow too, appearing puzzled.

"Ye Qingchen? Ha, you suggest that this Celestial Immortal duel was incited by Ye Qing's brother?" At this moment, someone realized and shook her head in disdain, saying: "I recall a year ago, Ye Qingchen seemed to only have Earth Immortal cultivation!"

She looked at Ye Qing, her face full of mockery: "And Yi Tianli, the master of the Thirty-Six Sects, wouldn't employ such an array to resist an Earth Immortal, would he?"

Boom!

Laughter erupted all around.

A year ago.

When Han Yue Ran obtained the Earth Immortal Certificate, the incident was well-known, and everyone knew Ye Qing had a brother in the Earth Immortal Realm. Upon learning this, indeed, many people showed some respect to Ye Qing.

But as everyone stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm, that respect naturally vanished.

You are an Earth Immortal, and so am I.

Moreover, as disciples of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, our identities and statuses are much higher than a disciple from the Thirty-Six Sects of the Celestial South.

"Senior Sister Han, I am speaking the truth!" Tang Xin argued passionately.

"Junior Sister Xiao Tang, you take me for a fool?" Someone sneered, saying, "No matter how gifted one is, entering the Celestial Immortal Realm within a mere year is impossible!"

"Yes, Junior Sister Xiao Tang, there are countless people with the same name; how could it possibly be him?"

Tang Xin appeared embarrassed.

Never expecting no one would believe her words. She looked pleadingly at Wen Sixian, hoping she would interject in her defense, knowing that if she did, she would surely gain trust.

But Wen Sixian kept her silence, unwilling to wade into murky waters.

Left with no choice, Tang Xin continued:

"He and the master are arriving shortly, and the other party intends to showcase his skills before us... Eventually, everyone will see for themselves!"

"Ha, showcase his skills before us?"

"Does he have such qualifications?"

"Do you know where this is? This is the Ice and Snow Divine Palace! Not a place where some wild child from the lower realms can run rampant!"

As the voice faded, laughter filled the courtyard.

Mockery, sneers, scornful tones, converged from all directions.

Where is this?

It is the Ice and Snow Divine Palace!

The disciples, hailed from all corners of the Kunlun Realm, are full of pride, and how could they easily bow their heads?

Han Yue Ran heard, gently shook her head, also full of disdain.

'Ye Qingchen, just you wait!'

'I am also now an Earth Immortal!'

'Someday, I will return the humiliation you dealt me upon acquiring the Earth Immortal Certificate!'

Han Yue Ran clenched her fists.

While she was contemplating.

A sudden cry echoed, followed by the sound of chain breaking, as a menacing demonic aura flooded out like a tide.

Han Yue Ran turned back, and her pupils immediately contracted to the extreme.
