Chapter 1353: Jade Ice Ancestor

Ripples were floating on the light shield above the palace. As the ripples gathered, a tall woman gradually emerged.

The woman had a Taoist bun on her head and wore a blue-gray linen robe. She looked very simple, but her face was extremely beautiful. Any man would be moved.

But at this moment, the woman was full of anger. She pointed at the man in the jade robe and said angrily: "Yu Bingzi, you betrayed your master and ancestors. In order to obtain this sect-protecting technique, you did not hesitate to secretly poison the Ten Death Poisons, harmed the sect master, and seized the position of the sect master. I happened to see you. You wanted to kill me and seriously injured me. In a critical situation, I had to seize half of the technique and escape. For ten thousand years, I have been hiding in the Xuehan Sect and secluded myself all year round. I never asked you to avenge the sect master, but you came to me instead. Well, today Yu Lingyao will fight you to the death."

Yu Lingyao's words immediately caused a commotion among the man in the jade robe. Obviously, what she said was of great relevance.

Yu Bingzi's face also changed, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He pointed at Yu Lingyao and roared: "Nonsense, I didn't expect you to reverse right and wrong here, and even turned the tables. Back then, you killed the sect master and tried to steal the sect's skills. I happened to see you. You knew you were no match for him, so you fled in a panic. You have been hiding in the Xuehan Sect for ten thousand years. Unfortunately, not long ago, one of your disciples accidentally leaked the heart formula of your cultivation, which exposed your hiding place. Don't even think about escaping today." Xiao Lin, who was far away, was also surprised when he heard this. Beihan Divine Sect, one of the ten great sects of the human race, is located in the extreme north. Among the ten great sects, it is relatively low-key. Disciples of Beihan Divine Sect rarely enter the four major spiritual realms, but mostly hunt beasts in the extreme north for training. Although Xiao Lin didn't know much about Beihan Divine Sect, he knew that the current sect master of Beihan Divine Sect was named Yu Bingzi, also known as Yu Bing Patriarch. Unexpectedly, this Yu Bing Patriarch in the Tribulation Period looked very young, only in his thirties. The woman had a faint aura, and was as still as a mountain. It was obvious that this woman was not her true form, but was performing a Taoist water mirror technique. If her true form appeared, she would probably be another cultivator who was undergoing tribulation.

Xiao Lin only knew that the ten great divine sects all had cultivators who were undergoing tribulation, but the human race lived in the bitter cold land of the Northern Sky Fragment Realm, and resources were limited, so there were not many top-level cultivators in the human race. The reason why the four great spiritual realms and the ten great divine sects became the top forces in the human race was that there were cultivators who were undergoing tribulation in these forces.

It can be said that as long as a sect gave birth to a cultivator who was undergoing tribulation, it could be ranked among the first-class sects.

The Xuehan Sect was just a third-rate sect, and even within the millions of miles of this ice field, it would not be ranked in the top ten, but this Yu Lingyao was obviously also a tribulation ancestor, which surprised Xiao Lin.

However, judging from the conversation between the two, there might be a deep entanglement between the two of them. They might even be senior and junior brothers and sisters, but they turned against each other just for a sect-protecting technique. Moreover, Xiao Lin heard that one of them had killed his master before, which was a great sin that could never be reversed no matter which race it was.

Xiao Lin restrained his breath, stood on the top of the mountain, and watched quietly. This matter had nothing to do with him, and he had no intention of getting involved. However, according to his perception, Lin Xueying and Yuan Hong were both hiding in the Xuehan Sect.

This battle might implicate all the people of the Xuehan Sect. If Lin Xueying and Yuan Hong were really in the sect, they would not be spared.

Xiao Lin was also secretly thinking about the countermeasures in his heart.

"Yu Bingzi, you are really despicable and shameless. Well, since you have found me today, this battle is inevitable. Let me show you whether my ten thousand years of seclusion and hard work have any results."

As soon as the words fell, the aura of Yu Lingyao on the light shield suddenly began to burst out, like waves, one wave after another, and in the blink of an eye, her body became much clearer.

"True body?" Xiao Lin's pupils shrank slightly, and he could see that Yu Lingyao's true body had been manifested through the mirror image, and it was obvious that she was going to fight with Yu Bing Patriarch.

"Hehe, you were not my opponent back then. Even if you have practiced hard for ten thousand years, what can you do to me?" Yu Bing Patriarch pinched the spiritual formula with both hands, and suddenly the sky and the earth were turbulent, and the sky was eclipsed. At some point, a large piece of dark clouds floated above the void, covering the entire sky as far as the eye could see.

Along with the roaring sound of gusts of wind, the temperature of the surrounding space also began to drop rapidly.

The already bone-chillingly cold icy land now made people feel like they were falling into an ice cellar. Many of the Beihan Divine Sect disciples who followed Yu Bingzi were so cold that their teeth were chattering and their faces were extremely pale.

"Yu Bingzi, since you and I cannot avoid this battle after all, there is no need to commit more murders. If you have the ability, come with me."

The battle between the cultivators in the Crossing Tribulation Stage, ordinary cultivators cannot participate at all, and they cannot even watch. Once the two of them have full mana, the disciples of the Snow Cold Sect are protected by the sect protection formation, and they may be able to resist for some time, but the many Beihan Divine Sect disciples who followed Yu Bingzi, except for a very small number of disciples in the Refining Void and Combination Stages, are afraid that they will not be able to withstand the amazing cold and will be frozen to death by the aftermath.

Yu Bingzi didn't care, but Yu Lingyao didn't want to commit more murders, and took the initiative to ask Yu Bingzi to change places.

After Yu Lingyao finished speaking, she waved her sleeves and ripples suddenly appeared in front of her. Her slender body shot straight into the ripples, and the ripples suddenly exploded and disappeared without a trace.

In the far distance, his voice was heard.

"Yu Bingzi, Yu Lingyao is waiting for you in Binglin Valley."

"Humph, even if you run to the ends of the earth this time, this sect master will never let you go." Yu Bingzi snorted coldly, and the whirlwind around him suddenly spun around him, and then suddenly exploded, and Yu Bingzi's figure had disappeared.

The dark clouds above the void began to dissipate, and the cold air began to weaken.

The many disciples of Beihan Divine Sect breathed a sigh of relief, and they all used their magic power to remove the cold air that had penetrated into their bodies.

The many disciples of Xuehan Sect stood in the light shield, staring at the people of Beihan Divine Sect in the void with a wary look on their faces.

Among the many Beihan Divine Sect disciples who followed Yu Bingzi, there was only one cultivator in the fusion stage in his fifties, and Xiao Lin had long seen that he was at the same level as himself, also in the early stage of fusion.

At this moment, the old man was discussing with several elders in the Refining Void Stage around him, obviously discussing whether to attack the Xuehan Sect.

The Xuehan Sect was protected by a mountain protection formation. Although the Beihan Divine Sect had a large number of people, it was not easy to break the formation in a short time. The most important thing was that Yu Lingyao of the Xuehan Sect was not in it. Even if they broke the formation, it would be meaningless except for killing a group of Xuehan Sect disciples. Moreover, killing too much would also increase their own karma. After all, they were immortal cultivators, not the bloodthirsty demons.

And they also knew very well that the key to this battle was the battle between the sect master and Yu Lingyao. The winner would be able to dominate the situation afterwards.

So everyone talked a lot and could not make a decision.

"Elder Du, Yu Qian, uh, I wonder if what Yu Lingyao said is true or false? Ten thousand years ago, the old sect master died unexpectedly. The sect master said that the old sect master practiced the superior immortal skills and went astray. Yu Lingyao suddenly disappeared at that time. All this is strange, so before all this is clear, should we temporarily hold back?" At this time, an elder of the Beihan Divine Sect in the late stage of Lianxu spoke up.

In the human territory, whether it is the four major spiritual domains or the ten major divine sects, the inner domain core elders' council will be established, usually by the highest level of several people, usually the sect disciples above the fusion stage will enter the inner domain core elders' council, the inner domain core first elder, also known as the first supreme elder, of course, he is also the controller of this force.

For example, the Beihan Divine Sect, because there is only one cultivator in the Crossing Tribulation Stage, that is, the old ancestor Yu Bing, so the inner domain core first elder is naturally him, and he is also the sect master of the Beihan Divine Sect and the actual controller of the Beihan Divine Sect.

Below this, there are the Inner Domain Elders, who are generally cultivators in the Refining Void Realm. The Inner Domain Elders do not participate in the daily management of the sect, and have more free time. Except for the instructions issued by the Inner Domain Core Elders' Council, they can freely use their time. No one restricts them whether they go out to travel or practice in seclusion. Moreover, the sect will issue rich resources for cultivation at regular intervals.

Of course, the only responsibility of the Inner Domain Elders is to allow those outstanding talents who have passed the selection and entered the sect to become their disciples and become the Inner Sect Core Disciples according to the requirements of the sect. There is no requirement for the realm of the Inner Sect Core Disciples. Those with extremely excellent talents can even be admitted to the Inner Sect at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The number of Inner Sect Core Disciples in each Divine Sect is actually not large, but they are the core of a sect. In the final analysis, the strength of a sect mainly depends on the strongest existence in the realm of the sect, and these Inner Sect Core Disciples are the talents reserved by the sect to impact the peak of the immortal path in the future.

Once a core inner sect disciple is able to advance to the fusion stage and enter the Inner Domain Core Elders' Council one day in the future, their master will also be greatly honored and gain more immortal cultivation resources.

Therefore, every time a core inner sect disciple is selected, it will be snatched up, but there will be no situation where an Inner Domain elder is unwilling to accept a disciple.

As for the cultivators in the God Transformation and Nascent Soul stages, they mainly manage the inner and outer sects of the Divine Sect, which is also the largest part of a sect, accounting for at least more than 90% of the entire sect.

The cultivators in the God Transformation and Nascent Soul stages are both elders in the outer domain, but the God Transformation cultivators are usually responsible for punishment and have the power of life and death over the inner and outer sect disciples, while the Nascent Soul cultivators are responsible for the management of the sect, including various skills transmission, teaching refining, alchemy, talismans and other immortal skills.

In addition, those Nascent Soul cultivators who only know how to practice are divided into various mountains to recruit inner and outer sect disciples, urge the disciples to practice, and guide their practice progress every once in a while. In comparison, they are much busier than the God Transformation cultivators.

Of course, many Nascent Soul elders, in order to be lazy, would select some of the Golden Core disciples and appoint them as outer sect elders to help them teach and manage the inner and outer sect disciples, while they themselves would have an easy time.

In fact, this model is not only for the human race. During the time Xiao Lin was in the demon race, some of the sects he saw basically continued this model.

For a super race like the demon race, the Mahayana demon cultivators are high above. Not to mention ordinary demons, even those top-level demons in the Tribulation Crossing stage are rarely seen. A Mahayana demon cultivator comprehends the power of rules, and a retreat, wandering in the void, may take more than a thousand years. Some Mahayana cultivators will go deep into some extremely dangerous places in the spirit world to train, such as the Savage Abyss. There are countless cultivators of different realms gathered on the periphery, but in the core of the Savage Abyss, some high-level beasts usually appear in groups. Not to mention those middle and high-level cultivators, even the top-level existences of the Tribulation Crossing stage, once besieged, are more likely to be in danger.

In such places, only the peak existences of this world, the Mahayana cultivators, can enter.

So even for a super race like the demon race, under normal circumstances, the ones who give orders are all Tribulation Crossing cultivators.

The old man surnamed Du, who was in the Fusion Stage, must have a high status in the Beihan Divine Sect. Even if he was not second only to Yu Bingzi, he was definitely at the top of the Inner Domain's core elders' courtyard.

So after the person next to him finished speaking, the others all looked at him, as if waiting for him to give orders.

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Du also fell silent, as if he was thinking about the power relationship. After a long time, he spoke: "All Inner Domain elders, please give orders and let the disciples surround the Xuehan Sect. Do not move for the time being, but do not let any Xuehan Sect disciple leave. Wait until the Sect Master returns before making a decision."

The old man surnamed Du obviously left room for himself. As a Fusion Stage cultivator, he had been in the sect for a long time, so he naturally knew Yu Lingyao. Now the two of them had different opinions. Who killed the old Sect Master has not yet been revealed. If he expresses his position too early, if he stands on the wrong side, he will be in danger in the future.

Moreover, in his opinion, even if Yu Bingzi plotted against the old sect master, as long as he could defeat Yu Lingyao and take back half of the sect-defending skills, he would still be the sect master of Beihan Divine Sect, and he naturally did not dare to object. After all, a cultivator in the Fusion Stage had no power to fight back in front of a cultivator in the Crossing Tribulation Stage.

Even if he took a step back, in his mind, it was not important who plotted against the old sect master. The world of immortal cultivation was originally a place where the strong were respected. His first priority was to save his life. As for who would be the sect master, as long as it did not harm his own interests, it did not matter.

That was why he ordered the Snow Cold Sect to be surrounded. If Yu Bingzi won, although he might blame him, he did not let the people of the Snow Cold Sect go, and he could completely atone for his sins. If Yu Lingyao won, then it was a foregone conclusion that she would take charge of Beihan Divine Sect again. At that time, if he did not take action, there was still room for maneuver. Yu Lingyao was in charge of Beihan Divine Sect for the first time, and she still needed the support of the elders in the sect like him.

The rest of the people were also smart people. After hearing this, they understood what was meant and issued orders one after another.

In a moment, flags were flying, and tens of thousands of Beihan Divine Sect disciples dispersed and surrounded Xuehan Sect from all directions. At the same time, they arranged for an attack and were ready to fight. As long as the order was given, the thunder-like attack would pour down on Xuehan Sect.
