Chapter 456: Chapter 450: Profound Ice Immortal

"The nation is preparing for the Eastern Expedition..."

Merely seeing these few words, even though the urgent talisman communication from the sect didn’t mention that Ye Zhen had to return immediately, Ye Zhen decided to leave right away and head back to the Qiyun Sect.

It had been almost three and a half years since he entered the Ancient Demon Soul Battlefield and seized the War Soul Blood Flag.

If other empires had captured the War Soul Blood Flag, they would usually start a campaign immediately, but the Black Water Kingdom was different.

The Black Water Kingdom had to fend off enemies from all directions and kept them from breaching the national borders, suffering heavy losses in national power, so after Ye Zhen reclaimed the War Soul Blood Flag, the Black Water Kingdom did not launch a war.

Instead, under the deterrence of the War Soul Blood Flag, they began to recuperate. With the War Soul Blood Flag stationed within the Black Water Kingdom, the surrounding nations, even including the Southern Barbarian Tribes, did not dare to start a war lightly against the Black Water Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, the national power of the Black Water Kingdom was rapidly recovering.

However, in everyone’s understanding, after reclaiming the War Soul Blood Flag, it could only last for five years. Although the national power of the Black Water Kingdom had not fully recovered, they still began the Eastern Expedition.

If they didn’t initiate the Eastern Expedition, in a year and a half, the War Soul Blood Flag would fly away.

As for the fact that Ye Zhen had made the War Soul Blood Flag recognize him as its permanent master, thus permanently controlling it, Ye Zhen had no intention of disclosing this.

Ye Zhen vaguely felt that he might very well leave the Black Dragon Domain in the future to adventure in other domains.

Therefore, while he was still in the Black Dragon Domain, Ye Zhen wanted to secure as many benefits for the Black Water Kingdom as possible.

After bidding farewell to Wanji Peak Master Yi Hanshuang, Ye Zhen rode the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten through the night towards the Black Water Kingdom.

The normal speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King was over 60,000 li in a day; with Ye Zhen providing extra spirit crystal demon cores, flying 70,000 to 80,000 li a day was no problem at all.

Only three days later, Ye Zhen had arrived at the eastern gateway of the Black Water Kingdom, the Great Wilderness Pass. Since three years ago, due to the deterrence of the War Soul Blood Flag, the troops stationed there had decreased, making the pass somewhat desolate.

As Ye Zhen flew over, the Great Wilderness Pass was as desolate as ever. However, Ye Zhen, observing from the sky, keenly noticed that small troops were silently gathering towards the Great Wilderness Pass from time to time.

Even above the Great Wilderness Pass, Ye Zhen encountered patrols of martial artists at the Spirit Summoning Realm, questioning him.

To the naked eye, the Great Wilderness Pass seemed as usual, but Ye Zhen passing through could sense that the air was thick with the atmosphere of an impending war.

Because the Eastern Expedition meant an attack against the sworn enemy of the Black Water Kingdom, the Sword Origin Empire!

A day later, Ye Zhen arrived at the Qiyun Sect.

However, upon his return to the Qiyun Sect, Ye Zhen did not go to see the Sect Leader right away but headed straight for Fairy Peak!

When Ye Zhen rushed back to Fairy Peak, his heart full of anticipation, it instantly turned into deep disappointment.

"It’s been a year already, and she hasn’t returned..."

In truth, when he returned to Fairy Peak, Ye Zhen knew the hope was slim, but the slimmer the hope, the more he wished to see Caiyi appear.

When Caiyi left, she said at the soonest it would be a year, and at most three years. Now, a year had already passed...

"Not bad, huh, leaving for less than a year and your cultivation has soared to the Fourth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Impressive, you little rascal!"

When the voice sounded from behind him, Ye Zhen turned around abruptly. Behind him, Liao Feibai, cold as a frost lotus, had appeared behind Ye Zhen silently and without notice.

"Instructor Liao!"

Ye Zhen let out a wry smile, not knowing why, but every time he saw Liao Feibai, she gave him a sense of depth and mystery.

Now, with the Heavenly Thunder of Fright, Ye Zhen could escape from even Vein Forging Realm powerhouses with ease, but in front of Liao Feibai, Ye Zhen’s confidence would completely vanish.

This was a very strange feeling; even in front of Sect Leader Guo Qijing, Ye Zhen did not have this feeling.

"Come on, accompany your old lady for a fight. No one in the entire sect dares to be my opponent anymore!"

"Watch the sword!"

Whoosh!

With a light shout, a massive Profound Ice Sword Light suddenly chopped down, its instant coldness freezing Ye Zhen’s blood!

With a sweep of the Black Dragon Tail Swing that shattered the Profound Ice Sword Light, Ye Zhen leaped into the air and in that moment, Liao Feibai’s sword light in her hands rapidly divided from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand. The Profound Ice Sword Lights suddenly wove into a net that enveloped Ye Zhen layer by layer.

"Well done!"

With a light shout, Ye Zhen released a Floating Cloud Finger and fiercely clashed with Liao Feibai.

The battle from the start was earth-shattering and astonishingly loud, almost alarming all the elders and the Sect Leader within the Qiyun Sect.

However, the battle between the two did not last even 15 minutes before Liao Feibai caught Ye Zhen like an eagle snatching a chick.

The Liao Feibai who captured Ye Zhen was like a madwoman, continuously lashing Ye Zhen hard with a whip of spiritual power, while simultaneously cursing.

"Damn you, daring to use Heavenly Thunder to bomb me, are you trying to ruin my appearance so I can never get married?"

"I... I wouldn’t dare... It was you who pushed me to my limits... Besides, aren’t you fine?"

"Fine? You dare say I’m fine?"

"You blasted my long black straight hair until I was bald; tell me, how will you compensate me? It was so close to blasting off even my eyebrows... smack!"

As anger struck, Liao Feibai swung his whip, striking Ye Zhen’s back.

Actually, for Ye Zhen, who had almost reached great accomplishment as an Acquired Spiritual Body, the whip infused with Spiritual Power didn’t hurt at all, but it was humiliating!

However, on second thought, losing to Liao Feibai wasn’t shameful.

If Liao Feibai was willing, he could probably yank up any elder in the Qiyun Sect, except for Sect Leader Guo Qijing, and give them a lashing.

Thinking back, Liao Feibai’s combat power was terrifying!

Ye Zhen had almost used all his strength, except for not using the War Soul Blood Banner’s blessing, even the Heavenly Thunder of Fright was employed.

Yet bizarrely, when Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright struck down, a layer of blue Profound Ice suddenly enveloped Liao Feibai, blocking Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright.

Then, as Ye Zhen’s second Heavenly Thunder of Fright struck, Liao Feibai captured Ye Zhen as easily as an eagle snatching a chick. Of course, during the capture, Ye Zhen’s second Heavenly Thunder of Fright successfully turned Liao Feibai into a baldy.

Ye Zhen had to admit, there was a certain charm to the bald Liao Feibai, seeming even more stunning than before. Yes, without opening his mouth, he was the spitting image of another Profound Ice Immortal.

"Alright, Feibai, Ye Zhen has just returned, let him rest for a while!" Sect Leader Guo Qijing couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

"Rest for a while, he’ll compensate me for my hair first. How can I go out and face people with this ugly bald head!"

"Who said it’s ugly? Instructor Liao, I think you look even more stunning than before with your bald head, paired with your blue clothes and the Profound Ice Spiritual Power swirling around you, you look just like an ice fairy!" Ye Zhen blurted out reflexively.

Suddenly, Liao Feibai was taken aback.

Touching his bald head with his delicate fingers, Liao Feibai hesitated before asking Ye Zhen, "Really? Prettier than before? Even like an ice fairy?"

"Of course, more precious than pearls! You are the spitting image of a Profound Ice Immortal!"

"Profound Ice Immortal?"

Hearing Ye Zhen’s stark flattery, Liao Feibai’s face flushed red for a moment, but then, it returned to normal almost instantly.

Then, Liao Feibai laughed heartily, "Profound Ice Immortal, good, I like it!"

"Ye Zhen, I like this title ’Profound Ice Immortal’ you’ve given me. Yes, it’s thousands of times better than the ’Demon-faced Rakshasa’ others have tried to label me with!"

"Well then, in light of the ’Profound Ice Immortal,’ today I will forgive you for the hair disaster!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled wryly and bowed his thanks, "Thank you, Instructor Liao..." He had been beaten, and yet he had to thank the other party. What kind of situation was this?

"Hmm?"

Unexpectedly, Liao Feibai’s pretty face darkened instantly, emitting a dissatisfied snort.

Taken aback for a moment, Ye Zhen suddenly understood.

"Thank you, Profound Ice Immortal..."

Upon hearing that, Liao Feibai’s previously darkened face lit up with joy once more.

"From today forth, my grand title is Profound Ice Immortal, yes, anyone who dares to call me otherwise can try..."

The next moment, Liao Feibai’s cool voice spread throughout the entire Qiyun Sect, making the Sect Elders watching from all directions wear somewhat unpleasant expressions.

Who ever gives themselves a nickname?

Profound Ice Immortal? More like a Profound Ice Rakshasa, right?

Of course, those few words, they only dared to think them. If they dared to speak them aloud, the suffering Liao Feibai inflicted on Ye Zhen and if repeated on them, would leave them without even the ability to cry.

"Ye Zhen, to think that after a year apart not only has your cultivation soared, but your combat power has also surged to such an extent that you were able to battle Feibai for nearly 15 minutes, impressive indeed. It seems the future belongs to you youngsters!" said the Seventh Elder, Zhongli Jing, arriving in front of Ye Zhen and looking at the departing Liao Feibai with a face full of admiration.

"Not at all, I’m still far behind the Elders..."

"Ye Zhen, you must understand, my words are not to flatter or praise you, but are genuine truth. I don’t mind telling you, three months ago when Feibai emerged from closed-door cultivation, she spared almost every elder in the Sect!

I don’t need to mention myself; I didn’t even last ten moves under Feibai. Even the Grand Elder, who has the highest cultivation, had to admit defeat reluctantly just after half a quarter-hour, and if he’d conceded any later, even his hair bun might have been cut off," sighed Zhongli Jing.

"Instructor Liao is that powerful?" Hearing about Liao Feibai’s achievements in the Sect, Ye Zhen was truly astonished.

"Feibai is the most talented disciple our Qiyun Sect has seen in a hundred years, no weaker than you, and she is highly focused on her Martial Arts path, manifesting the power of the Profound Ice Sword Dao brilliantly. I heard that a month ago, she even had a battle with the Sect Leader," continued Zhongli Jing.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s eyes shone brightly, "How did it end?"

Zhongli Jing slowly shook his head, "Don’t know!"

"However, since the rumors began to spread, the Sect Leader’s right leg was lame for half a month, affecting even his ability to walk, only recently did it recover. As for Feibai, after that incident a month ago, she has rarely made appearances. In fact, today is only the second time I’ve seen her this month."

"Both sustained injuries, so who actually won?" Ye Zhen was very curious!

"If you ask me, who do I ask? If you are brazen, go and ask the Sect Leader yourself."

"Hurry on now, the Sect Leader is waiting for you in the Silent Chamber, ready to discuss matters regarding the Eastern Expedition with you!"(To be continued.
