Chapter 1347 - 1347: Release Our Palace Master

When everything settled, the original two thousand people in the Ice Palace were reduced to just over twelve hundred.

Of the eleven Supremes who were pillars of the Sect, only five remained.

Well, that doesn't include Brother Cheng.

To his surprise, Venerable Linjing, who had opposed his joining from the start, was still there.

She didn't leave the Sect with that group earlier.

Seemingly sensing his confused gaze, Venerable Linjing spoke coolly, "Years ago, I was hunted by Venerable Roar under Cyan Bear, and the Palace Master saved me."

"I will never betray her in my lifetime!"

"Although you were forcibly pushed to the position of Supreme Palace Master, don't think I'll be convinced!"

Brother Cheng maliciously smiled to provoke her.

"But I have become the Supreme Palace Master, isn't that annoying?"

"You!"

"Not being convinced in your heart isn't a problem, but on the surface, the necessary etiquette towards the Sect leader should be maintained. Didn't Gong Qing teach you that?"

Brother Cheng stood casually in front of them, his expression full of teasing.

"Hurry up and salute the Supreme Palace Master, I'm waiting!"

He didn't have any deep intention to undermine their spirit; he was just looking for some fun and teasing them.

Venerable Linjing and the others were furious.

"Save it!"

"You still want us to salute, dream on!"

"How can you show such disrespect to the Supreme Palace Master?"

Gong Qing's tone was carrying displeasure, but she actually understood their feelings very well.

Back in the Ice Realm, most of the time, she was driven to exasperation by Lord Jiang, often feeling the urge to lash out.

"Greetings to the Supreme Palace Master!"

She bowed voluntarily to Brother Cheng, setting an example.

She also announced a new rule for the Sect on the spot.

"From now on, anyone who shows disrespect to the Supreme Palace Master is equivalent to disrespecting the Palace Master and will be expelled from the Ice Palace, to serve as a warning!"

Venerable Linjing and Venerable Xue Yi looked indignant; their dissatisfaction with Jiang Cheng was much more than that.

In their hearts, they even believed he was a disaster for the Ice Palace, causing the loss of hundreds of disciples as soon as he arrived.

If it weren't for Gong Qing, their first task would have been to deal with Jiang Cheng.

But the Palace Master's prestige was too high, recognized for her decisive nature.

They truly dared not act rashly in front of her.

Venerable Lanmiao broke the tense atmosphere and was the first to step forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder."

Then the other female immortals reluctantly followed suit with insincere salutes.

Brother Cheng raised his hands emptily, cheerfully saying, "No need for courtesy, no need for courtesy!"

"Actually, I'm not someone who cares about formal etiquette, everyone is too kind."

Venerable Linjing and Venerable Xue Yi wanted desperately to cast disdain at him; wasn't it you who strongly requested this?

Even with Gong Qing present, they dared not argue with Brother Cheng.

The previously most welcoming Venerable Lanmiao rolled her shiny eyes, revealing a mischievous grin.

"With our numbers in the Ice Palace reduced, and our power greatly diminished, it's indeed our most critical time."

"You, as the Supreme Palace Master, should tell us what to do next."

Seeing her teasing expression, Brother Cheng knew this girl was deliberately provoking him.

Other female immortals also chimed in.

"Yes, our Palace Master always easily resolves any difficulties she encounters."

"Since you are the Supreme Palace Master, you must be even more formidable, right?"

"Why don't you tell us how to restore our Primordial Qi?"

Gong Qing quickly came out to smooth things over.

"The Supreme Palace Master's abilities will be visible to you all in the future."

"Today he has just arrived, unfamiliar with the situation, it's too soon for him to propose suggestions..."

"That won't do!"

Venerable Xue Yi, clad in silver like a pink doll, crisply said, "Since he is the Supreme Palace Master, he must demonstrate abilities far beyond others."

"Because of his arrival, we have lost so many people, it has become very unsafe."

'Contentious' Venerable Linjing had her own thoughts.

"He must find ways to make up for this loss himself?"

Gong Qing wanted to say something else, but Jiang Cheng flew in front of her.

With his hands behind his back, he looked up at a 45° angle, pretending to contemplate the Immortal Realm's situation.

After a while, he slowly said, "Then let me guide you lost ones along the right path."

The female immortals quietly sneered.

Guide us? Do you really think we expect you to play any role?

"As the Sect I reside in, it must have ample presence; staying trapped in a speck of dust is truly demeaning."

Brother Cheng waved his hand, pointing outward.

"I've decided to move the Sect out, we'll temporarily stay outside."

This Secret Realm's Immortal Power is not stronger than the outside.

As for the Rule Origin's aura, it's actually slightly inferior to the outside.

He certainly didn't want to be cooped up inside.

"Are you kidding?"

The female immortals immediately loudly opposed, and emotions ran high.

"Do you know how dangerous it is outside with enemies surrounding us?"

"You clearly don't understand the situation of Yunmi Dao; it's incredibly ruthless in its competition for people!"

"Don't think you can continue being human if taken away; they'll implant control methods that make peace impossible."

"Even hiding here is perilous at times, moving out seems crazy!"

"You must be insane!"

Brother Cheng didn't bother explaining, he simply shrugged towards Gong Qing.

The latter understood.

"Since this is the Supreme Palace Master's order, the Ice Palace will obey."

"From today, we'll relocate the entire Sect."

With Lord Jiang around, moving out, or even moving to the center of Yunmi Dao, she had no fear.

With this order, the female immortals almost collapsed.

"Palace Master, he's insane, how can you go along with it?"

In their minds, Gong Qing was the embodiment of calm and wisdom.

It was she who initially led the relocation of the Ice Palace into a speck of dust.

Ever since Jiang Cheng appeared, it seemed she had changed.

Seeing the constant 'blunders' of Gong Qing, Venerable Xue Yi looked pained.

"Palace Master, have you fallen under a spell, why do you obey him?"

Venerable Lanmiao gasped in realization.

"I understand now, Jiang Junsuai must have leverage on the Palace Master or has poisoned her, forcing her to comply."

Other female immortals agreed this seemed the only possible explanation.

Otherwise, they couldn't understand Gong Qing's abnormality.

"Despicable!"

"How can you behave so reprehensibly toward our Palace Master, quickly release her!"

"It's outrageous, cease your shameless actions immediately!"

"Quickly remove the poison!"

Surrounded by the complaints of female immortals, Brother Cheng was exasperated yet amused.

These female immortals had stayed, counted as those filtered through loyalty tests.

At least, their regard for Gong Qing was beyond reproach.

Jiang Cheng did recognize them.

Though he secretly lamented, your imagination sure is wild!

Just then, the entire Ice Palace suddenly began to tremble violently.
