Chapter 0404 – Weird Doom Protector – Absolute Return

“I will find out the truth as soon as possible.” Drunken Devil said.

“Thank you, Your Holiness, for understanding.”

This first meeting, full of temptation and undercurrents, was over.

Yang Zhong, the second son of Northern Blood Sect Sect Master Yang Shen, woke up from his sleep only to feel ice-cold all over his body.

He found himself sitting in a chair and looked around, only to see that the walls, the pillars, everything, was made of ice and snow.

“You’re awake?”

A woman’s voice, from up ahead.

“Who are you?”

The woman turned around and walked towards Yang Zhong.

“Palace Master?”

Yang Zhong was shocked when he saw the woman’s face.

He was actually in the Palace Master’s bedchamber of the North Sea Ice Palace!

“How are you feeling?” The Ice Palace Lord asked.

“I’m fine. But how did I get here?”

“We made a deal with the Demon Cult to get you back.”

Yang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this.

“Thank you, Palace Master, for saving my life! I thought I was dead!”

He was so excited at the moment that he spoke somewhat tongue-in-cheek. However, the Ice Palace Master didn’t change her color and only said faintly, “It’s good that you’re fine.”

Yang Zhong was puzzled in his mind, why did the Ice Palace want to save him?

Just then, a middle-aged man walked in.

This man was stout, his gaze was as sharp as a falcon’s, and his chin was angular, so it was clear at a glance that he was a martial artist with high martial arts skills.

“Father!”

Yang Zhong recognized the visitor at a glance, it was his father, Northern Blood Sect Sect Master Yang Shen.

Yang Shen was able to develop the Northern Blood Sect into one of the three major forces in the North Sea, not only because he had cultivated the “Twelve Strokes of the Northern Fist” to its full realization, but also because he had a shrewd mind and an ambitious heart.

“You go down first.” Yang Shen said indifferently, not the slightest emotion could be heard in his tone.

Yang Zhong’s heart sank as he heard this.

He’d been captured for so long and his father hadn’t even said a word of concern?

“Has father really given up on me?”

Yang Zhong’s heart was filled with disappointment and resentment.

He had originally held out a glimmer of hope that his father would be able to honor his father’s love for his son and save him.

However, reality hit him hard.

“From the moment father refused to exchange hostages with the Demon Cult, he had given up on me.”

Yang Zhong’s heart was filled with bitterness and despair.

He understood that in his father’s eyes, his life was far less important than the interests of the Northern Blood Sect.

Yang Zhong forced himself to hold back the grief in his heart and turned around to leave the chambers.

He glanced back, only to see his father and the Ice Palace Master standing side by side, seemingly talking about something.

“What exactly are they talking about? What agreement was reached?”

Yang Zhong’s heart was filled with curiosity and doubt, but he knew that he was not qualified to ask.

He walked to the door of his chambers and saw a man standing there with his back to him.

“Where is the carriage?” Yang Zhong asked, thinking that the other party was a disciple of the Ice Palace.

The man didn’t answer, just stood there quietly, staring at the snowy landscape in the distance.

“I asked you a question! Where is the carriage?” Yang Zhong roared, venting the anger in his heart on this innocent man.

“Escaping from death, yet you are still so arrogant and domineering.” The man slowly turned around, his tone cold.

“It’s you?”

Yang Zhong was shocked when he saw the man’s face.

This person was none other than Jian Wuji.

“I promised you that when you woke up, you’d go back to your room. Although it didn’t happen, you at least met your father, so that’s not bad, right?” Jian Wuji said indifferently.

Yang Zhong said in his heart, “I just escaped from the Devil Cult, I don’t want to provoke this bogeyman again.”

However, he was not a person who could tolerate anger by nature, not to mention, Jian Wuji had mentioned his father, which made him even more irritated.

“I will never forget the disgrace this time!” Yang Zhong said through gritted teeth.

The reason why he dared to be so arrogant was because he knew that the Ice Palace had already reached an agreement with the Demon Sect, and Jian Wuji wouldn’t dare to make a move against him here.

“A great man has something to do and something not to do. If you want to take revenge, just let your horse come over.” Jian Wuji said indifferently, his tone filled with disdain.

Yang Zhong was speechless at his words.

What else could he say?

“You’ll never try to save those people, from our hands!” Yang Zhong could only bring out those captured hostages in an attempt to save a little face.

“Haven’t you heard? Those people, you’ve already killed all of them, and there’s only one left alive.” Jian Wuji said coldly.

When Yang Zhong heard this, he was struck by lightning and his face instantly turned pale.

He felt that the air around him, as if it had become icy cold, just like Jian Wuji’s eyes, which were filled with killing intent.

“Only one of you will be left alive to leave here as well.” Jian Wuji continued, his tone cold and without a trace of emotion.

“Is it you, or your father?”

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, the look in Jian Wuji’s eyes already indicated everything.

Yang Zhong had never been threatened like this before, and his heart was filled with fear and anger.

Just then, Yang Shen finished talking with the Ice Palace Master and walked out.

“Greetings, Young Sect Master.” Yang Shen recognized Jian Wuji at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, his tone respectful.

Yang Zhong was shocked when he saw this.

How could father be so respectful to this Demon Sect’s young master?

Jian Wuji cupped his fists and saluted back, “I’ve heard of Sect Master’s great name for a long time.”

Although Yang Shen was very respectful to Jian Wuji, he was not humble and maintained proper etiquette.

Jian Wuji saw through Yang Shen’s mind at a glance, and he knew that this person was by no means a pool animal, and he would become a great man in the future.

“I will definitely go to your sect in person some other day and pay a visit to the Young Sect Master.” Yang Shen said.

“Waiting for Sect Master’s good news.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Yang Shen turned to leave, and Yang Zhong hurriedly followed.

“It seems that your father wants to live even more.” Jian Wuji’s voice suddenly rang in Yang Zhong’s ears.

These words were like pouring oil on the fire, making the resentment against his father in Yang Zhong’s heart even stronger.

Yang Zhong stared angrily at Jian Wu Ji, but in the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.

Jian Wuji coldly looked at Yang Zhong’s back and suddenly spoke, “Aren’t you curious?”

“Curious about what?” Coldsnow asked as she stepped out from behind one of the houses.

She was actually here a long time ago, she just didn’t show up.

“Curious as to what exactly they are plotting.” Jian Wuji said.

“How do you know I’m not curious?” Coldsnow asked rhetorically.

“Are you really curious?” Jian Wuji asked as he turned his head to look at Cold Snow.

“Of course I’m curious.” Cold Snow replied without hesitation.

This was actually a lie. She actually didn’t care about the conspiracies of the Northern Blood Sect and the Ice Palace because she felt that these were things that her mother should deal with.

She believed that her mother must have known about the plans of the Northern Blood Sect and the Ice Palace, because in this North Sea, no one could hide from her eyes.

However, Jian Wuji didn’t think so.

“This time, I’m afraid your mother needs your help.”
