Chapter 975

The Guard General’s personal guards who followed him were aware that everything was due to a person called Jiang Chen . It was because of him that the Guard General and Yun Shou had been sealed in the Ice Mountain, and it was only because there had been a need of manpower that he was released when the Icy Spirit King pled for the spiritual lady to spare them . However, despite this, the spiritual lady stated that she would continue sealing them in ice after they had gone through this difficult period .

On this day, the Guard General was patrolling in the vicinity of the Ice Palace as usual, when, all of a sudden, the ice mountains’ barrier in a 100-mile radius around the Ice Palace detected something . A powerful aura was approaching the Ice Palace at an extremely quick speed .

As the Guard General thought about the current situation, as well as the great battle that had just ended, he immediately led the strongest soldiers to intercept it .

“Is this that powerful aura’s source?”

Upon noticing how young Jiang Chen was, the Guard General couldn’t help but wonder whether the detection barrier wasn’t working properly .

“Stop!” However, regardless of everything, he still must stop Jiang Chen .

“You…” When the Guard General was just about to speak, his body stiffened as if he had received an electric shock, and he was left speechless . The soldiers next to him were confused, but, when they saw Jiang Chen’s appearance, they had the same reaction . Even though they weren’t the same age, this person still resembled Jiang Chen greatly .

“I want to meet your Spirit King,” Jiang Chen said .

If this had been in the past, the Guard General would have surely mocked and ridiculed him . But it was a different matter now, and as the Guard General looked at this person, he recalled his first meeting with Jiang Chen .

The Guard General mulled it over, then he said, “Please inform me why you want to meet his majesty so that I can notify him . ”

The Guard General’s current attitude let Jiang Chen assume that the person assuming this position had already been replaced .

“It’s for an important matter,” Jiang Chen replied .

Such a reply wasn’t really satisfactory, but the Guard General decided to not make things difficult for him, and he just led him into the Ice Palace . The reason why the Guard General did this wasn’t just because the guest resembled Jiang Chen, it was also because his cultivation was at the Star Venerable Realm .

“It can’t be him, they aren’t the same age, and he also shouldn’t have been able to break the divine body’s curse . ” As the Guard General examined Jiang Chen carefully, doubts welled up in his heart .

Jiang Chen quickly reached the familiar-looking Ice Palace, and he entered the main hall which was built from Mysterious Ice . Jiang Chen quickly ran into Yun Shou and Elder Bing Shan .

“You!” When they first saw Jiang Chen, their faces turned pale from fright . However, they quickly had the same reaction as the Guard General, and they were suspicious about this person’s origins and not certain at all that it was Jiang Chen .

The Icy Spirit King was sitting on a perfect throne of ice as before .

“I want to discuss an important matter with the Spirit King in private,” Jiang Chen said .

Upon hearing this, all the Ice Spirits in the main hall furrowed their brows . But the Icy Spirit King waved his hand at them in dismissal and drove them out .

“Icy Spirit King, may I ask whether you have any information about Jiang Qingyu?” Jiang Chen asked .

The Icy Spirit King wore the same expression as before, but an odd look appeared in his eyes . A person who resembled Jiang Chen had arrived to ask about Jiang Chen’s father .

“Who are you?” The Icy Spirit King asked .

“Jiang Qingyu is my father,” Jiang Chen replied .

… . .

In an ice mountain, which wasn’t far from the Ice Palace, Jiang Chen’s senior sister, who was called Xue’er was sitting on the peak of the mountain . She was looking around and the ice and the wind had no effect on her body, which was colder than ice .

A sound of footsteps echoed out suddenly, and she saw the palace maid who served her striving hard to come up to where she was . The palace maid wasn’t as powerful as Xue’er, and, even though she was also an Ice Spirit, she still couldn’t bear the weather of this mountain peak .

Xue’er furrowed her brows . Her movement was practically indiscernible, yet the chilly wind and ice sweeping the mountain stopped, and the winter sun shone upon the land . The palace maid heaved a sigh of relief and raised her head to look at Xue’er .

“I have already asked you to not come here anytime you wish,” Xue’er spoke tothe maid . She didn’t even want a maid, but the Icy Spirit King insisted on getting one for her . The reason was that the Ice Spirit Clan had already conferred on her a princess’s title, and her family had become the Ice Spirit Clan’s current royal family .

“Princess Ye, there is an extremely important matter I want to report to you, and I feel like you will surely be interested in it,” the palace maid said .

Xue’er shook her head and looked at the horizon . She spoke in a soft voice, “I don’t have any interest in anything . ”

“It is related to Jiang Chen,” the palace maid said .

Upon hearing these words, Xue’er’s expression changed, and she stood up . She looked at the maid with her ice-cold gaze .

The palace maid was frightened, and her knees went soft . She knelt on the ground .

“State it clearly,” Xue’er spoke after a while . She recalled now that this palace maid would not have come here without good cause . Moreover, there wasn’t anyone in the Ice Spirit Clan who would state that person’s name before her casually .

“Unless it’s…” Xue’er thought of something, and her breathing became rough . She became full of expectations!

After the maid informed her of the matter clearly, Xue’er could not bear it any longer, and she flew toward the Ice Palace at full speed . However, it was a pity that Jiang Chen had already left the Ice Palace and flown away aimlessly .

The Icy Spirit King had told him that all the Spirit Clans did not participate in the battle between Jiang Qingyu and the Holy Wings Clan, which was why they had no idea about Jiang Qingyu’s whereabouts .

As a matter of fact, Jiang Chen was clearly aware of the greatest possibility . His father’s seal should have surely been broken while he fought the five emperors, and, in the end, he would have lost his last wisp of life force . Moreover, according to the rumor that Jiang Qingyu had turned into a golden flame and dissipated, the Solar Golden Wheel would have gone out of control and completed its last task . Such a great sense of weakness and powerlessness threatened to overwhelm Jiang Chen

……

All of a sudden, when Jiang Chen was just about to fly out of the Ice Spirit Clan’s spiritual land, a chilly wind blew at him and forced him to stop in his tracks . When Jiang Chen raised his head to see what had stopped him, he witnessed a person clad in white clothes standing before him . Jiang Chen’s heart missed a beat and many uncontrollable emotions welled up in his heart .

“I had never heard that you had a little brother,” Jiang Chen’s senior sister said . She had stayed in the Natural Law School for several years, and while other people didn’t know Jiang Chen’s family situation, she was aware of it clearly .

“Senior sister . ” Jiang Chen didn’t argue with her and called out to her in a hoarse voice .

“I knew that you wouldn’t die . ” The senior sister flew toward him, and her gaze, which was always ice-cold, seemed as tender and soft as water . She had finally gotten a reward after waiting for more than a year . But then she noticed that Jiang Chen was obviously trying to avoid her . She suddenly realized that Jiang Chen hadn’t come to see her, even though he had come here, and her gaze became very sad . “Jiang Chen, I have really let you down, and I’m really sorry . ”

“I never blamed you for it, but still… I really can’t stay with you . ” As Jiang Chen spoke, another person’s image appeared in his mind . As Xue’er recalled the reason why Jiang Chen had turned into a demon, many emotions welled up in her heart . She looked at Jiang Chen’s eyes, and she took a comb from her pockets . Upon noticing the fracture on the comb, guilt and regret welled up in Jiang Chen’s heart . However, he was quickly stunned by his senior sister’s following words .

“She still hasn’t died . ” Such simple and brief words were like a bright sun shining once again upon a dusty old house, and it made everything in Jiang Chen’s life have a significance once again . Jiang Chen’s senior sister didn’t wait for him to ask about it, and she informed him of everything related to Nangong Xue’s Spirit Body . “The Ice Soul Stone has already gone extinct, but myriad clans are rising up now, and they still have the Martial Divinity Herb, and the Ice Soul Stone will surely appear,” his senior sister spoke in a firm tone and it was obvious that she wanted to boost Jiang Chen’s morale .

Jiang Chen strode forward step by step and received the Mysterious Ice Comb .

Such a matter was recorded in the books Jiang Chen had read, and he knew that his senior sister wasn’t lying to him . Jiang Chen was so excited and moved that his hand was shaking .

But an ice-cold hand suddenly touched his hand . “Let me help you,” she said .

Jiang Chen almost ended up blurting out what he wanted to say to her, but he resisted the urge and just nodded at her softly .
