Protect Our Clan Leader

Master Binglan stood in midair with one hand behind her back, her light blue sleeved robe fluttering in the wind.

Beside her, the Ice Soul Sword, radiating a translucent, colorful glow, and the dignified Xuan Bing Li Dragon circled around affectionately, with sword chimes mingling with dragon roars echoing through the void.

At that moment, she seemed like the embodiment of ice and snow, even the Ji Ice Holy Land beneath her feet appeared to submit under her presence.

True Person Ziyue's face alternated between red and white, admitting defeat awkwardly, "I am not your opponent. As for the division of the sect, it's not for me to decide."

With the Dao-level Item, Codex inheritance, and a Xuan Bing Li Dragon with impressive bloodline as the Town Pulse Spirit Beast, it indeed was quite qualified to establish a new lineage.

Yet, in her heart, she was filled with envy and resentment. How did she not encounter such a lucky event of discovering an ancient relic?

But True Person Ziyue failed to consider how difficult it was to inherit an ancient relic. Had it been her, she might have lost her life, let alone obtained any Codex inheritance.

Having dealt with one.

Master Binglan then turned her gaze to True Person Yuyao, speaking indifferently: "Yuyao, in the battle for the Heavenly Vein Holy Pill that year, you used tricks in secret and made me lose. Today is the day we settle our accounts."

"I... am not your opponent!" True Person Yuyao's face was extremely unsightly, admitting defeat, "Whether the sect divides or not is not up to me."

"The accounting, too, is not up to you."

With a cold sneer, Master Binglan moved her wrist and launched an attack first.

In an instant, the Ice Soul Sword turned into a sword light like snow, enveloping True Person Yuyao.

This sword was like light and electricity, seemingly gathering all the chill in the world, capable of freezing even the soul.

The extreme chill spread out, making the entire world quiet and slow at that moment.

True Person Yuyao was horrified, quickly retreating and struggling to defend.

However, although they were evenly matched in cultivation base, Master Binglan's bloodline level was a full major tier higher, plus the Codex's enhancement to divine skills, the enhancement of the Dao-level Item, and even the assistance of the Xuan Bing Li Dragon.

Their battle was completely dominated by Master Binglan.

Throughout the battle, Master Binglan hadn't even activated her Dharma Shadow. Had she not intentionally controlled the pace, True Person Yuyao would have been defeated long ago.

The process was somewhat unimpressive, primarily Master Binglan relentlessly pursuing, and True Person Yuyao desperately fleeing.

The cultivators watching on the plaza suffered as a result, for True Person Yuyao ran everywhere, forcing them to dodge as well, lest they inadvertently get caught in Master Binglan's Sword Intent.

"Master is mighty, Master is domineering!"

Wang Zongsheng, Fang Youan, and the disciples of the Mysterious Ice Palace were all cheering excitedly.

Wang Licui and Wang Yingxuan were also excited beyond measure, almost joining in the cheers.

"So powerful!" Wang Licui's eyes sparkled, feeling exhilarated, "No wonder she always had the upper hand over the other Masters at Longzuo Academy back then. Now it seems she had been holding back; otherwise, even that old man Yunyang wouldn't necessarily be her match."

After all, Master Yunyang back then only had the talent of a Great Heavenly Proud, stronger than Master Xuanyao and others, but far inferior to Master Binglan.

However, while they were excited, the disciples of Ji Ice Holy Land had extremely gloomy expressions. Especially those from Ice Soul Peak, each had a black face, as if they suffered great humiliation.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Yuyao was beaten miserable, nearly at his last breath, when True Monarch Shuangran stepped in to stop, "Binglan, you've vented enough. It's time we talked about the division of the sect."

"True Monarch is straightforward." Master Binglan, having vented her anger, graciously withdrew, temporarily sparing True Person Yuyao, "So, does True Monarch agree to my terms?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Nearly beaten to death, True Person Yuyao hastily escaped from Master Binglan's attack range, barely managing to swallow a healing Treasure Pill with mixed blood.

Several disciples from Ice Soul Peak hurried forward to care for True Person Yuyao.

Neither True Monarch Shuangran nor Master Binglan paid attention to him.

"According to tradition, you indeed have the qualification to divide the sect." True Monarch Shuangran looked solemnly at Master Binglan, "However, establishing a Sacred Land is no simple matter. Be it selecting a location, extracting Spirit Veins, setting up a Spirit Gathering Array, recruiting disciples, or ongoing operations, all are difficulties. Instead of laboriously establishing a new lineage, why not remain in Ji Ice Holy Land? We can give it a new name, have dual Sacred Masters jointly develop and strengthen the Sacred Land, and jointly protect the human race, how about that?"

Throughout history, though very rare, there were precedents for Sacred Lands with dual Sacred Masters.

"Not likely." Master Binglan refused without a second thought, "I no longer feel any sense of belonging to Ji Ice Holy Land, and I don't trust you. If True Monarch opposes the division, then I'll just continue fighting."

As she spoke, with a wave of her hand, a gust of ice-type Mysterious Energy surged out, instantly knocking away the disciples of Ice Soul Peak, then pulling True Person Yuyao from the air, and gave him another round of "bang bang" beating.

"Puff!"

True Person Yuyao was once again beaten to the point of vomiting blood, rendering the healing Treasure Pill he just swallowed ineffective.
