"He must die," Elder Mo hissed, crushing the old yellow scroll in his fist. The paper turned to dust. "The boy must die immediately."But how? Elder Mo stopped pacing. He thought about the problem like a cold, calculating killer. He could not just walk up to the Frozen Moon Peak and murder Li Chen. First, the boy was incredibly strong. Elder Mo had felt the heavy, dark power when Li Chen caught his sword. The boy had easily crushed Zhao Feng. Killing him would cause a massive, noisy battle. Second, and more importantly, Li Chen was protected by Su Binglan. The Ice Empress was a monster. Her freezing magic was stronger than Elder Mo's power. If Elder Mo attacked her mountain, she would freeze him into an ice statue, just like she did to Elder Zhao. Furthermore, Su Binglan claimed Li Chen was the Sect Master's property. If Elder Mo killed the Sect Master's property, the Sect Master would melt Elder Mo into green slime. Elder Mo was trapped. He could not attack Li Chen on the mounta

"This area is forbidden," Elder Mo said. He quickly reached out and snatched the yellow scroll off the table. He rolled it up tightly and hid it inside his wide white sleeve. "I will not kill you tonight, Li Chen," Elder Mo announced, playing the role of the strict, righteous judge. "Because you belong to the Ice Empress, I will show mercy. I will respect the Sect Master's favorite disciple. But if I ever catch you in my halls again, no token will save you. Get out."Elder Mo waved his left hand. The glowing red magical seal on the heavy wooden door instantly turned green. The door clicked and swung open. Li Chen stood perfectly still. He looked at Elder Mo. He memorized every single detail of the man’s face. He memorized the shape of his nose, the coldness of his eyes, and the sound of his breathing. "I will remember your mercy, Elder Mo," Li Chen whispered. The words were a deadly promise. Li Chen turned around. He walked out of the red room. He walked down the dark, creaky woo

The red magical light in the Restricted Archives glowed like fresh blood. The heavy wooden door was locked. There was no way out. Li Chen stood in the narrow aisle between the tall bookshelves. He looked directly at Elder Mo. The man who had signed the paper for the cowardly poison. The man who had ordered the death of his family. "I am not looking for ghosts," Li Chen whispered. His voice was dark, heavy, and full of a terrible promise. "I am looking for the butcher."Elder Mo’s handsome, expressionless face did not change. He stood perfectly straight in his spotless white robes. The pure white sword in his hand hummed with high-level magical power. "You speak in riddles, boy," Elder Mo said smoothly. His voice was calm and strict, exactly like a teacher scolding a bad student. "You broke into the Restricted Archives. You are a thief. In the Azure Sword Sect, thieves lose their hands."Elder Mo did not waste any more time. He was a Foundation Establishment Elder. He was incredibly

Li Chen expected to see the name of a dirty assassin. He expected to see a cruel, evil elder. But when he read the name, Li Chen completely froze. The signature was elegant, perfectly written in black ink. It read: “Elder Mo, Head of the Discipline Hall.” Li Chen’s breath caught in his throat. His mind spun in circles. Elder Mo. Everyone in the Azure Sword Sect knew Elder Mo. He was the most famous, most respected elder on the entire mountain. He was the Head of Discipline. He wore perfectly clean, spotless white robes. He was the man who preached about honor, righteousness, and pure justice. Elder Mo was famously strict. He punished anyone who broke a rule. Just last year, Elder Mo had publicly cut off an Outer Sect disciple's hand because the boy stole a single loaf of bread from the kitchen. Elder Mo told the crowd that a true cultivator must have a pure, completely honest heart. He was the face of justice in the sect. And yet, this "righteous" man, this perfect judge of mora

Li Chen did not waste time on the bottom floors. Su Binglan said the secret missions were on the top floor. He found a wooden staircase in the corner and began to climb. He moved very slowly. He kept his ears wide open. He listened for the blind Archive Guards. He could hear the soft, slow breathing of old men sleeping in small rooms on the middle floors. He stepped carefully over the creaky wooden floorboards, using his dark Qi to soften his weight. He reached the eighth floor. The Restricted Archives. The door to this floor was locked with a glowing red magical seal. Li Chen pressed the silver token against the seal. The red light turned green, and the door clicked open. Li Chen slipped inside and closed the door behind him. The top floor was much smaller. There were only about fifty bookshelves here. The scrolls were kept in special, airtight glass tubes to protect the old paper. Li Chen walked down the dark aisles. He looked at the labels on the shelves. He was looking for t

On the fourth night, after they finished draining the cold, Li Chen stood up. He wiped the sweat from his dark golden forehead. "I need to know the truth," Li Chen said suddenly. His deep voice echoed in the quiet ice palace. Su Binglan looked up from the floor. She was breathing heavily, but her skin looked healthy. "The truth about what?" she asked. "About my family," Li Chen answered, his hands curling into tight fists. "The Patriarch said he ordered the killing. But why? What curse was he talking about? And who exactly did he send to my house? My father was a strong cultivator. He had powerful guards. But on the night of the fire, nobody fought back. The guards did not wake up. My father could not even lift his sword. Someone betrayed us."Li Chen looked directly at her. "You are a Core Disciple," Li Chen said. "You have access to the sect's secrets. Where do they keep their old records?"Su Binglan slowly stood up. She understood his anger. She felt the same anger toward the
