Chapter 900: 900

People tended to believe things favorable for them . It was difficult to give up illusions . When a con man was disclosed, his most loyal vindicators were usually those who had been conned by him . As long as they refused to accept that the con man was actually a con man, they could keep believing they had spent the money they had been deceived about in a right way .

Only wise people would wake up right away . Jiang Chen always thought he was cleverer than most people, but even he could not distinguish truth from falsehood .

The marriage proposal group, formed of famous people, did not know the inside story . They were surprised to see the Icy Spirit agreed to the marriage between a human and a Spirit . They came up to Jiang Chen to congratulate him immediately .

The Icy Spirit King said he would organize a grand party to celebrate . At dusk, many humans and Spirits gathered outside the hall of the Ice Palace . Everyone was happy .

The Icy Spirit couldn’t have the nerve to play tricks before so many people . Yao Yuntong thought, since the marriage proposal group was formed by so many famous people . The Icy Spirit had agreed to the marriage in those famous people’s presence . If he went back on his word, it would have a negative impact .

Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude to every senior who had come here to help him put up the front . He was going to proceed with caution . Members of the marriage proposal group started to leave the next day .

Yao Tianshi was leaving with his daughter to look for their inheritance as well, since he had escorted Jiang Chen to the Icy Spirit smoothly .

“Father, why don’t we stay for a few more days?” Yao Yuntong did not feel easy leaving Jiang Chen alone with the Icy Spirit .

“Yuntong . ” However, Yao Tianshi had made up his mind . He could not stay with Jiang Chen to protect him for the rest of his life . It was unrealistic .

“Yuntong, don’t make things difficult for uncle . If it’s not safe for me to stay with the Icy Spirit, other places won’t be safe for me to stay either,” Jiang Chen said .

“It’s not the killers from the Nether World School that I’m worried about . ” Yao Yuntong said in a low voice . The Ice Palace was important for the Icy Spirit . If the killers from the Nether World School assassinated him here, they would have to pay a big price . Even if they succeeded, they would not earn much from it .

“It’s all right . ” Jiang Chen shook his head . Even if something happened between the Icy Spirit and him, he would not want to get this father and daughter involved . This was private between the Icy Spirit and him .

“After today, this will be the center of attention of the whole world . The Icy Spirit won’t act recklessly . ” Jiang Chen said confidently, “If I really want to go, the Icy Spirit won’t be able to stop me . ”

Seeing him like this, Yao Yuntong gave up trying to persuade him . She left with her father reluctantly .

Late that night, Jiang Chen was staying in the depths of the Ice Palace alone . The Icy Spirit did not slight him . Where he was living was usually for the Icy Spirit’s most important visitors to stay . Everything seemed perfect . All he needed to do was to wait for three days to meet his apprentice sister .

The next day, the whole Three Middle Realms learned that Jiang Chen’s marriage proposal had been accepted by the Icy Spirit, which was unprecedented . Since people had heard about the proposal before, they were not very surprised at the proposal itself . What surprised them was the Icy Spirit had really agreed .

“I’m sure it’s because they want the inheritance of the title Invincible God of War . ”Someone said out of jealousy .

The Spiritual Ladies of the Icy Spirit were all fair-skinned and extraordinary . They were adored by numerous people, just like the Nine Heavens Fairies . However, due to the gap between humans and Spirits, Spiritual Ladies were not for the human race . It was really exciting that Jiang Chen had accomplished the impossible .

When people heard of the bride price Jiang Chen had offered, they even thought it was actually a steal for the Icy Spirit, which was contrary to the common belief that Jiang Chen had tried to get in with the Eight Spirit Clans .

All kinds of rumors regarding Jiang Chen popped up . Some of them were true, while others were false . One of them was especially noteworthy . No one knew how it started . It said Jiang Chen had a divine body .

At first, no one believed it, because Jiang Chen was from the Realm of Nine Heavens . If he had a divine body, it would have been impossible for him to achieve what he had achieved through practicing on his own . However, the rumor was very detailed . It was said that Jiang Chen’s divine body was achieved by practicing .

He achieved a pseudo-divine body first through his celestial phoenix genuine blood and the origin of fire dragons, thanks to which no weapon could harm him . It was an amazing body . Then, the pseudo-divine body and his Holy Pulses of Nine Clouds merged further to acquire the divine body . People turned to history books to confirm it, and they found such a method did exist .

However, not many people believed it since it sounded too absurd . A divine body was difficult to acquire . However, how would a person strong enough to acquire a divine body through practicing do such a shortsighted thing? In addition, according to this rumor, the essence blood of a divine body was a medicine with wonderful effect . No matter whether it was used to practice or to refine elixirs, it would be of great help .

The essence blood of a divine body would emit a golden radiance which contained endless energy . Many people were tempted . If Jiang Chen were not who he was by then, he would have been caught for experiments . However, all these rumors in the outside world did not create any big disturbance in the Ice Palace .

The Ice Palace was so heavily guarded that Jiang Chen had to give up the idea to look around during his stay there . Fortunately, when he said he was leaving the Ice Palace to practice somewhere, the guards did not stop him . They said he was free to do that .

After one night’s pondering, Jiang Chen finally tumbled to the Icy Spirit’s actual plan . The truth was they had not made any decision yet .

He was surer about it at dawn the next day .

“Jiang Chen . ” However, at this moment, the Cloud Guardian came up to him . Like the other Icy Spirits, the Cloud Guardian would not get old, so she still looked like a young girl .

“Please don’t take what happened before to your heart . We did that for Xue’er’s sake,” the Cloud Guardian said .

“I know . ” Jiang Chen did not react strongly . He was not a saint . This woman tried to kill him back then, and she also insulted him verbally . He would not make her pay for it for his apprentice sister’s sake, but he would not treat her as a friend either .

“Xue’er has ended her seclusion ahead of schedule after learning of your arrival,” the Cloud Guardian said .

Jiang Chen was shocked . He did not anticipate that . And it repudiated his assumptions .

“At the same time, the Blood Shadow Dynasty has sent in troops . They have entered the Spirit Territory of the Icy Spirit from the left and the right side,” the Cloud Guardian added .

What happened to the Blood Shadow Dynasty the day before was a crying shame for them . The sacred prince would not let it go so easily .

“The Spirit King is going to hold the engagement party today . Please get ready,” Cloud Guardian said .

“Got it . Can I see my apprentice sister now?” Jiang Chen said eagerly .

“No hurry . Xue’er has a spirit heart of supreme level . We can’t let the Blood Shadow Dynasty find it out . You’ll see her alone after the engagement party,” the Cloud Guardian said .

“Okay . ”

Seeing him react so coldly, the Cloud Guardian was not very happy, but she covered it well .

“The Blood Shadow Dynasty and that disgusting sacred prince will attend tonight’s engagement party too . ”

“No problem . I can handle that . ”

“Great . ”

Then the Cloud Guardian turned around to leave .

Jiang Chen stayed there alone, absorbed in thought . The Icy Spirit could not be lying . The Blood Shadow Dynasty’s troops were bearing down upon their border . If this was a show they were putting on, that would cost them too much .

“I see . ” Jiang Chen made up his mind . He was eager to meet his apprentice sister this night .

At dusk, the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s legions formed by thousands of soldiers arrived at the Ice Palace in a storm . This was a powerful army . Their dark golden armors were all of the magic weapon level .

Thousands of these armors would endow the army with great military power even if average people were wearing them . Not to mention that these soldiers were all Venerables .

Those in the Ice Palace felt highly threatened .
