In a room within the Clan, Chen Nian was being treated by a skilled physician. His body was wrapped in bandages, as several of his bones were dislocated."Young man, don't move around too much. You must rest and remember to take the prescribed medicine. This will quickly mend the broken bones," the skilled physician, a very elderly woman, advised. "Fortunately, your bone structure is very sturdy; otherwise, this wouldn't be easy to treat," she added, standing up."Thank you for your help, Physician," Chen Nian said."Thank the Clan Patriarch, for I follow his orders. No outsider receives such treatment, so you are very fortunate," the female physician replied before leaving without another word."Brother Nian, how are you feeling now?" Lihua brought a small bowl containing medicine; she had prepared it herself according to the physician's prescription. "Drink this decoction; she said it will heal you quickly," Lihua continued. Chen Nian sat up with the girl's help and drank the medici

"What about all the orders I gave?""We have arranged everything according to your request, Sir. The mercenary assassins are the bait, and after that, we will attack the Bing Clan. I am confident that the destruction of that clan, which has ruled the cold territory for hundreds of years, is imminent.""Excellent. Long ago, from my late father, I heard stories that within the Bing Clan's territory lies an altar that can only be opened with the key, the Moon Jade. Inside are various methods of eternal cultivation. However, since the tenth generation of the Bing Clan failed to perfect the art of immortality, the altar has never been opened to this day. Your next task is to find that Moon Jade during the upcoming attack!""Understood, Sir. I follow your orders.""Go!"The man turned and disappeared from Du Ming's sight."The plan from the past, I will continue it, Father. This reason is perfect for attacking them!" Du Ming said, looking up at the sky.---In a garden of fresh flowers ador

"I don't know if what I'm looking for is truly there or not! My mission is to find a tree that grows in a place untouched by sunlight for a hundred years. I only suspect it might be on the Eternal Ice Mountain.""Hmm," Bing Ru looked thoughtful, trying to recall if such a tree could grow on the Eternal Ice Mountain, and if it was even possible. With the extreme cold, it was difficult for plants to survive. "It seems we must take you to see the Ice Mountain, so your curiosity can be satisfied. You can search the surrounding area, or if you wish, you can enter the altar. But there is a condition!""What condition?!" Chen Nian looked eager. If he had to search around the mountain, his hopes were slim because the outer areas would still be exposed to sunlight. He only wanted to find a crevice untouched by the sun. Who knows, there might be one. His greatest hope was the sacred altar. When his ears heard those two words, his spirit was instantly ignited. But the next moment, he hit a wall.

Everyone gathered their spiritual energy together and performed the sealing. Chains emerged from the ground again, binding Lihua's hands, feet, and both shoulders. Added to that was the Sun God Seal, which directly suppressed and melted the frozen energy within the girl's body."Aaaaaargh, let me go!" Lihua screamed in pain. Her body emitted a yellowish light, and the Sun God Seal had completely suppressed the power. The girl no longer had the strength to resist.She was caught by her father, who immediately took her towards the sacred altar."Young man, come with us to the sacred altar. All of this was triggered because of you, for reasons we don't yet understand.""Understood, Elder!" Chen Nian followed them, flying towards the Eternal Ice Mountain where the sacred altar was hidden.Meanwhile, at the battle site, the destruction of the territory was felt by everyone. They could see a five-hundred-meter radius where many trees and houses had fallen. Although there were no fatalities,

"Du Ming, how dare you plan all this! Never once in the history of the Bing Clan have we submitted to others, especially not to someone like you!" Bing Ru shouted loudly, like a bell audible to all when struck."Hmph, so you choose for everyone to die. Fine, if that is your wish. I will spare only you so you can witness the destruction of this territory... Explosive Formation Troops, fire!" Du Ming raised his hand high. Then, a weapon of unknown origin appeared—it looked like a cannon with spiritual stone ammunition."Fire!" Du Ming shouted again.The large cannon that appeared in the air immediately released a blast, a sphere of energy forming at its mouth.Bing Ru and the nine Elders quickly formed a formation to block the powerful energy sphere spewing forth. It was estimated that anyone at the Sky Realm level would be instantly turned to ashes."Damn it! Where did he get such a strange weapon?" one of the nine Elders cursed."Stop complaining! You need to concentrate on blocking t
