Chapter 164: Out For A Stroll

Chapter 164: Out For A Stroll

After cold-bloodedly and viciously pummeling both of the elders, the white glimmer from the silhouette’s body dissipated, revealing the true identity of the person cloaked behind the blinding glow.

Both Murphy and Little Pomelo were stupefied when they saw the person’s appearance.

The person who was called the boss by the two elders was actually a young child that was about 7 or 8 years old. His eyes were brimmed with arrogance and pride, as he stared condescendingly at others with an almighty expression.

A notification instantly appeared before the two of them:

[Frozen (Middle-stage Ghost Emperor]

Character Information: A descendant of ancient Beiqi’s Divine Clan, the clan leader of the Ice Snow Clan, and the strongest general under the first King of Beiqi’s command.

Ability Information: Early stage of Ice Laws control.

(Officials’ reminder: Must not be angered.)

When they saw the message, Murphy and Little Pomelo’s expression instantly turned ashen pale, as they trembled violently in paralyzing fear.

According to their previous knowledge, other than the Demonic Gods whose abilities were not defined, the strongest beings in the world were the Sea King and Tong Gua.

However, they were exceedingly powerful beings that were at the Ghost King level. It seemed incredulous and unbelievable that a young child hiding in this ice realm could attain such an immense power at the Ghost King level.

After massaging his hands for a quick while, Frozen placed his hands behind his back and stared at the two elders with heavily-wounded faces, saying, “Tell me. How did they enter here?”

“Boss, they were brought in by the boys. It’s really not our fault,” the Snow Elder hurriedly explained, afraid that he would be brutally beaten again.

“That’s true, Old Xue is right. The kids led them in, it seems that they’re looking for the Cursed Clan,” the Ice Elder raised his finger and pointed at the frozen statues on the ice cliff.

Frozen raised his head and took a brief glance at the frozen statues in the direction that was pointed at by the Ice Elder, before shifting his eyes ontoMurphy and Little Pomelo.

“Who told both of you that the Cursed Clan was in the Arctic Abyss?”

“Tong Gua!” the two of them revealed his identity without a hint of hesitation.

“Who’s Tong Gua?” Frozen was momentarily dumbfounded, as he had never heard this name before. However, it seemed that the person was very familiar with the Arctic Abyss.

“Tong Gua is a Big Goose!” Murphy instantly replied.

“No, he’s a Celestial Crane. Apparently, he’s even rumored to be Beiqi’s strongest Ghost King!” Little Pomelo hastily added as well.

“Celestial Crane? The strongest Ghost King?

Frozen was confused and in utter disbelief.

From what I know, the strongest Ghost King in the Land of Beiqi is supposed to be me. How did this Tong Gua appear out of nowhere?

“This Tong Gua is the strongest Ghost King in Beiqi? Then, who’s the current King of Beiqi?” Frozen asked again.

“The current King of Beiqi is none other than Lu Yan, your village’s network…” Little Pomelo’s words trailed off. She stopped herself from complaining as she was afraid of being hit by him.

“What!” Frozen exclaimed, as his expression changed drastically.

“Where did the initial King of Beiqi go?” Frozen asked in a hurry, feeling as though his chest would explode.

In the beginning, he obeyed the first King of Beiqi’s command to hide in the Arctic Abyss for a few hundred thousand years. However, he was utterly shocked when he heard about the first King of Beiqi’s deposition. Didn’t we waste all that time of our lives here if His Majesty’s gone now?

Frozen’s expression immediately darkened when he had an unpleasant epiphany.

“How can that useless Lu Yan become the King of Beiqi? I’m going to kill him now. If the previous king is gone, the next king should be me, as I’m the true descendant of the Beiqi’s Divine Clan!”

“By the way, is the Guardian Spirit of Beiqi still there?” Frozen seemed to have remembered something and quickly asked.

“Spirit Guardian?”

Murphy and Little Pomelo were stunned for a moment, before suddenly recollecting that Tong Gua’s Analysis Menu seemed to have mentioned that he was the incarnation of Beiqi’s Spirit Guardian.

“Clan leader, it seems that the Spirit Guardian is Tong Gua!”

When he heard their reply, Frozen clenched his hands tightly into fists.

“Tong Gua, right? Seeing that he’s not dead yet, it’s great! I just have to kill him again.”

The discussion about the Spirit Guardian reminded Frozen about the ancestral holy book called the Way of Fate that the Ice Snow Clan worshipped.

In the past, the holy book was stolen by Beiqi’s Guardian Spirit. However, it had to pay a hefty price for the theft, and was ruthlessly slain by the Ice Snow Clan. Much to his dismay, however, the Guardian Spirit was not actually killed in that incident. Instead, it had simply changed its name and assumed a new identity.

“Splendid!”

“Lu Yan and Tong Gua, both of them must die!” a menacing grin peered on Frozen’s face as he made the roaring announcement.

After knowing that the first King of Beiqi had perished, Frozen felt that no one could suppress him anymore. It’s time for the Ice Snow Clan to reign supreme across the Land of Beiqi now.

Murphy and Little Pomelo were tongue-tied as they watched Frozen’s gleeful expression. They did not have the heart to tell him that Lu Yan had disappeared.

“I’m so glad. Both of you, what kind of rewards do you wish for?” with his hands behind his back, he stared at the two of them and haughtily asked.

“It’s fine, we don’t need any. Now that the Prajñā Scarification is gone, we will take our leave now,” Murphy waved his hand with an extremely disappointed expression, as though all hopes were lost.

“Forget about that stupid Prajñā Scarification. Do you think I, as a descendant of the Divine Clan, can’t give you any amazing things?” Frozen rolled up his sleeves, seeming as though he was ready to strike at someone.

“That’s right, the people from the Ice Snow Clan have everything. We even have a holy book that can help one attain divinity!” the two elders yelled boastfully from aside.

“A holy book that helps one attain divinity? Where is it?” both of them asked immediately with bright, expectant eyes.

When he heard their enthusiastic reply, the initially conceited Frozen stopped laughing in embarrassment and let out an awkward cough.

“Ahem, ahem! The holy book is our clan’s precious treasure, of course, I can’t just give it to you. However, I’ll give you something in exchange.”

“Then, we want the Prajñā Scarification!” the two of them seemed extremely miserable again.

“What rubbish is Prajñā Scarification, what is that even exactly?” Frozen asked in annoyance.

“It’s the strongest skill of the Cursed Clan and the assassin character. No one in this entire server knows how to use the skill at all,” Murphy spoke bluntly.

“Cursed Clan’s strongest skill? Server?” Frozen was slightly befuddled by their incredulous answer.

“Aren’t the Shadows the most powerful assassin clan in Beiqi? How did it become the Cursed Clan from Naraka?”

“Shadow Clan?” Murphy and Little Pomelo were evidently confused, as they had never heard of the name or anyone from Beiqi mention it before.

After a moment of contemplation, Frozen spoke again.

“If you want to learn the strongest assassin’s skill, I can teach it to you. However, it’s not from the Cursed Clan.”

“Is it from the Shadow Clan?” Little Pomelo asked unconsciously.

“Correct!”

“Is it more powerful than Prajñā Scarification?”

“I have no idea what Prajñā Scarification is at all. Is it really that powerful?” Frozen began to feel restless, as the two people before him seemed to be very dense and slow-witted.

“Of course it is. It’s one of the ultimate skills from the Naraka Realm. If you can master it, you have the power to destroy anyone you want.”

“Isn’t it just some useless skill from Naraka…”

Frozen suddenly stopped speaking, silently swallowing the mocking words that he was about to utter.

When he heard about the Naraka Realm and ultimate skill, Frozen already realized how formidable and devastating that attack was.

The Naraka Realm was a massive cultivation system in the underworld, and its ultimate skills were notorious for their destructive powers. It was impossible for him to not know about them.

“Don’t you think it’s very strong?”

“It’s just… just okay,” Frozen awkwardly forced a smile on his face.

“However, even the strongest Naraka Realm skill is just a spell. That assassination method cannot compare with the Shadow Clan’s,” Frozen added stubbornly.

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s real. The Shadow Clan has even slaughtered gods… their assassination methods are truly unrivaled.”

“Then, did they really manage to slaughter the gods?” Murphy and Little Pomelo asked, as their hearts were wavered by his boastful talk.

“No!”

“Whatever. Clan leader, you can just spare us some soul coins if you have some. Otherwise, forget it. We’ll just return empty-handed.”

Murphy and Little Pomelo waved their hand in frustration, as they prepared to leave that forsaken place.

“Stand still!”

Frozen’s pride was severely shattered when he thought that he could not give Murphy and Little Pomelo a satisfactory reward.

Nevertheless, he adamantly insisted, “Even though the Shadow Clan failed to assassinate the gods, we still heavily injured them. This type of power is surely much stronger than those from Naraka Realm. In terms of assassination techniques, our skills are far stronger than them. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you now!”

After saying so, Frozen waved his hand forward, as droplets of ice crystals materialized and fluttered in the air, forming a moving image before them.

In the image, a row of men clad entirely in black was challenging a red-haired man that was hovering in the air.

The man was veiled in a cloud of thick red mist and every time he moved his arms, the suns and stars in the sky would shift their position. With each fluid movement, the sky would alternate incessantly between night and day.

Despite the man’s daunting capability, the group of men dressed in onyx black did not flinch or cower in fear. Instead, they endlessly lunged toward the man, trying to attack him.

However, their methods were extremely peculiar.

There were clearly dozens of them there, but they suddenly merged into one person. In a flash, dozens of them emerged from the single silhouette again.

Every time the red-haired man unleashed an attack, the dark figures would shift and swap places with one another. Their techniques were strangely evil and completely untouchable, like a series of flowing shadows. The skill was so extraordinary and perplexing that the opponent could not seem to successfully attack them at all.

Ultimately, the red-haired man finally became so infuriated, the entire sky was stained completely in crimson red as the bright-red sun rose from the horizon. Under its intense glare, the world was bathed in its flaming sunlight and the masked men were finally incinerated by its scorching rays, turning into a pile of cinders.

……

“How is that, is the assassination method good enough for you?” Frozen asked with a smug expression.

“We want to learn!” Murphy and Little Pomelo replied passionately, their bright eyes overflowing with gusto.

“Haha, look. I told you that our Ice Snow Clan has innumerable treasures. How can we not have something that can satisfy you?” Frozen raised his hand and waved, forming a dark light orb that was glimmering faintly in his palm.

“Take this, it’s a legacy of the Shadow Clan. However, our clan’s inheritance is not an easy challenge. Those without the Shadow Clan’s gifted talent would find it extremely difficult to understand its complexity. However, both of you can slowly have a go at it. Perhaps, you can discover a hint of its profound assassination technique.”

After he handed the black light orb to Murphy and Little Pomelo, Frozen hovered into the air and made a roaring declaration.

“From today onward, our Ice Snow Clan shall be set free from our contract of eternal isolation. Under my command, every one of us shall leave this place today and return to the Land of Beiqi!”

All the clansmen on the ground rushed out from their ice houses, and fervently kneeled down to worship their clan leader, Frozen.

After they had finished lauding him, the entire Ice Snow Clan immediately packed up their possessions and hastily gathered up at a designated location.

When they saw the preparations for the exodus had completed, Frozen and the two elders emerged in front of the thousands of clansmen.

“Clan leader, what lies in the outside world?”

“Clan leader, is the outside world as exciting as here?”

“Clan leader…”

When they saw that Frozen had appeared, the clansmen started to ask these questions with great curiosity, as they had never ventured out before.

Then, Frozen raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, as the crowd immediately submerged into obedient silence.

“The reason we are leaving the Arctic Abyss, is for me to reclaim the throne as the King of Beiqi. Hence, we are at the brink of an all-out war, and all of us will be fighting endlessly to our deaths.”

Hearing that, the sea of people chattered noisily among themselves, with a strangely ecstatic expression on each of their faces.

“Fighting is great, I like fighting the most!”

“It’s simply great news, we’re going to fight all day, every day. The outside world is actually so exciting!”

“The people living in the outside world are so blessed that they can fight all the time. Let’s quickly make a move and join them!”

“I’m so jealous of the people in the outside world because they can fight to their hearts’ content. We can finally go out and have some fun with them, I’m so happy!”

Frozen could not help but smirk when he saw the people’s faces brimming with joy.

With a swift wave of his hand, he commanded, “Exit the borders!”

Immediately, a swarm of thousands of people from the Ice Snow Clan ardently dashed toward the Land of Beiqi, with Frozen leading them.

When they reached the edge of the Arctic Abyss, Frozen suddenly stopped, causing the clansmen behind him to follow suit as well.

His expression gradually turned unnatural and awkward, when he noticed a silhouette standing not far away from them.

A white-haired man was chuckling heartily as he watched them nearby.

“Hey… aren’t you Little Feng? Why are you here? Are you itching for a beating, since it seems like you’re trying to disobey me and leave?”

“Your… your Majesty!” Frozen shouted with an embarrassed expression.

“I heard that you wanted to become the King of Beiqi?” the white-haired man asked again.

“There’s no… no such thing. I… I’m merely bringing my clansmen out for a stroll. We’re going to return now,” Frozen hastily explained.

At that moment, an intense hatred bubbled inside Frozen, as he wanted desperately to strangle both Murphy and Little Pomelo to death. How dare they trick me! I even gave them a present, yet they still deceived me. The world is a dark and dangerous place because of humans’ evilness indeed! I hate them to my bone!

“Really… just out for a stroll?”

“We’re really just out for a stroll,” Frozen adamantly repeated.

“Why is everyone carrying their personal belongings for a stroll?” the white-haired old man asked again with a chuckle.

Instantly, Frozen turned around and discovered that all the clansmen were carrying large and small bags of their possessions, as if they were preparing to travel far.

“Your… your Majesty…” Frozen gave up, despondent and helpless. He felt that he could not find another excuse to keep up the lie any longer.

“Hurry back now! If you leave without my orders again, I will break your leg in half!” the white-haired old man growled fiercely at him.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

When he realized what was happening, Frozen hastily beckoned his clansmen to return with a wave.

Thus, the Ice Snow Clan that was preparing to conquer the Land of Beiqi, miserably plodded back to the Arctic Abyss once again.
