Chapter 374: My Foolish Little Sister
[Choose, Huan Chanfei.]
High above the Gong family’s territory, the blue-haired woman in the bathrobe, a shimmering ribbon swirling around her, her voice cold and indifferent, issued her challenge.
Gong Lianyue, her audacity exceeding all limits, had actually threatened a titled legendary being.
All the Gong family Spirit Masters and the onlookers were baffled by Gong Lianyue’s words, but the violent fluctuations in Huan Chanfei’s aura filled them with unease.
Something… something terrible was about to happen.
Huan Chanfei had to choose: confront the terrifying Snow Woman in the distance, or deal with this arrogant, black-crowned Water Element before her.
However, just then, something unexpected happened.
Huan Chanfei’s gaze softened as it turned to the Ice Eye Saintess, gently stroking her hair with a hand formed from swirling water vapor.
[Can I leave this to you?]
“Lady Huan Chanfei, I…”
The Ice Eye Saintess’s eyes widened, her expression uncertain.
Was she being asked to fight Gong Lianyue?
After finally reuniting with her sister… how had things escalated to this point?
[This Gong family outcast has clearly gone astray, threatening a Sacred Domain over some petty, insignificant grudge. You must make a choice.]
[Whether you’re willing or not, you must protect the Gong family, hold her back until I return.]
[And perhaps… defeating her here… would be a form of redemption. If she’s still… reasonable… she can return to the family.]
After addressing the Ice Eye Saintess, Huan Chanfei turned its cold gaze towards the blue-haired woman in the sky.
Their eyes met, and Gong Lianyue, a mere mortal, faced the titled legendary being without flinching.
After a long silence, Huan Chanfei spoke,
[I will return to deal with you after I’ve taken care of this. The Ice Eye Saintess will stop you. I believe she’s capable.]
[If, by then, you’ve reconsidered your actions, we can discuss… the past.]
With those words, Huan Chanfei, its azure form shimmering, shot towards the sky, a streak of light disappearing into the distance.
At that speed, it would reach the Snow Woman’s location in minutes.
Gong Lianyue watched Huan Chanfei leave, her expression cold and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned.
However, Huan Chanfei’s trust in the Ice Eye Saintess surprised her. She was curious about this little sister’s spirit beast.
“Ice Eye Saintess, please help us!”
“Sorrowful Saintess, prepare to die!!”
At this moment, all eyes were on the two teardrop-eyed women.
It seemed this Sorrowful Saintess, Gong Lianyue, had come prepared, somehow luring Huan Chanfei away.
But Huan Chanfei’s confidence in the Ice Eye Saintess suggested that defeating this Sorrowful Saintess wouldn’t be difficult.
“I… I’m sorry, Sister…”
Looking at the blue-robed woman floating above, the Ice Eye Saintess’s voice trembled slightly, then a brilliant, ice-blue light erupted from her body.
A terrifying aura spread, engulfing the entire venue.
As everyone watched in disbelief, a massive, icy tail, its tip a swirling vortex, appeared, sweeping across the arena, reducing everything to rubble.
Then, the massive tail split in two, revealing a small, icy, raccoon-like figure sitting at its center.
This was…
A spirit beast of the same lineage as the former Four Shields – the Netherwinter Splitting Tail!
A wave of shock rippled through the crowd.
So the Ice Eye Saintess’s companion spirit beast was of the same lineage as the former Four Shields. No wonder both the Winter Bone Azure Horn and Huan Chanfei doted on her.
The Netherwinter Splitting Tail, the Eastern Unbreakable Shield thirty thousand years ago, killed by the Cold Deer King, the former Harbinger of Disaster!
Although the current Eastern Shield was the Sea Scale Snow Crocodile, the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s bloodline was clearly superior. It might even reclaim its title one day.
If that happened, the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate would have two Shields, an impenetrable fortress!
With the Netherwinter Splitting Tail present, the Sorrowful Saintess wouldn’t stand a chance!
“Sister, stop this…”
The Ice Eye Saintess, surrounded by the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s massive icy tails, pleaded, tears shimmering in her eyes.
However, neither her words nor the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s terrifying aura fazed Gong Lianyue, who simply chuckled coldly.
[I don’t consider you my sister. But you have made the right decision.]
[Use your insignificant power and try to stop me, Gong Xingyu.]
Boom!!!
As Gong Lianyue’s mocking words echoed, the auras of the Netherwinter Splitting Tail and the Nether Spring Narcissus clashed, a torrent of ice and water, the air crackling and distorting, the entire venue shaking.
The next second, the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s two massive tails, like icy landslides, lashed out towards the blue-robed woman and the Nether Spring Narcissus.
The legendary spirit beast’s attack was too fast for the Ice Eye Saintess to even react to, the icy tails sweeping past, about to crush Gong Lianyue.
Clang—!
A sharp, metallic clang, and the dust settled.
The countless Gong family Spirit Masters stared in disbelief.
A deep blue spirit energy barrier had blocked the Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s attack, the girl within unharmed, the black-crowned Water Element beside her seemingly unconcerned.
The Netherwinter Splitting Tail’s full-powered attack… hadn’t even broken through its opponent’s automatic defensive barrier.
The Ice Forged Decapitator, one of the Ten Sacred Waters!
At this moment, looking at the seemingly divine figure in the sky, every Spirit Master felt a wave of awe and despair.
Although the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer seemed… simple-minded, its judgment regarding power levels was impeccable.
At her current level, the Ice Eye Saintess was no match for this.
As a suffocating dread filled the air, the blue-haired girl, her beautiful face radiating a chilling indifference, spoke, a hint of pity in her voice.
[My foolish little sister… do you finally understand your own weakness, your own sorrow?]
