Chapter 0416 – The Palace Master’s Anger Is Uneasy – Absolute Return

The moment the Ice Palace Lord appeared, Xu Luo’s heart set off waves of shock, a hundred times more shocking than when he realized the Drunken Devil’s intention earlier.

“Palace Master ……” He subconsciously wanted to explain, wanted to redeem himself, after all, over the years, he had made a lot of achievements for the Ice Palace.

However, the ice-cold gaze of the Ice Palace Master made him feel like falling into an ice cave, and he knew that it was already too late.

“You still haven’t answered my question, did you kill the Hundred Drunken Snow Plains Palace Lord for the Ice Palace as well?” The Ice Palace Lord’s tone was indifferent, but carried an unquestionable majesty.

With things having come to this, Xu Luo simply tore his face off as he sneered, “Not bad! Everything I do is for the Ice Palace! I, am the Ice Palace!”

When these words came out, the coldness in the eyes of the Ice Palace Lord increased, in front of the Ice Palace Lord, openly saying “I am the Ice Palace”, this is already not an arrogance, but a naked provocation.

The temperature in the hall plummeted, as if the air had frozen, only the drunken devil, still pouring his own drink, as if he was out of the picture.

Although Xu Luo had already torn his face, the Ice Palace Lord still maintained his proper demeanor, after all, the other party had once made a great contribution to the Ice Palace.

“Is it also for the sake of the Ice Palace that you colluded with those who cultivate the evil blood skills?” The Ice Palace Lord asked again.

Xu Luo was silent for a moment and said in a morose tone, “You knew this already?”

So she knew all along, but pretended not to know? Xu Luo’s heart churned with anger, only feeling greatly humiliated.

The Ice Palace Master looked at Xu Luo’s hideous face, her heart burst with sadness, she couldn’t imagine when this once loyal subordinate had, in fact, turned into the current appearance.

When she remembered the hypocritical face of Xu Luo before the original owner of the Hundred Wine Snow Plains died, an uncontrollable loathing surged in her heart.

“I don’t want to know why you colluded with them.” The Ice Palace Lord said indifferently, her tone calm, but like a thunderbolt, it exploded in Xu Luo’s ears.

“Because you must be doing it for those vile and selfish reasons.”

“Shut up! What qualifications do you have to talk about me like that?!” Xu Luo roared, his eyes filled with resentment, “What do you think makes you able to sit as the Palace Master?!”

He finally said the words that were hidden in his heart.

“If I hadn’t been ……”

How could the Ice Palace Lord not understand what he meant? He was regretting that he didn’t take his place in the first place, regretting that he had supported the wrong person.

“So, they promised you the Palace Lord position?” The Ice Palace Lord asked with a cold smile.

Xu Luo didn’t say anything, but his silence spoke volumes. If not, how could he be willing to seek the skin of a tiger?

The Ice Palace Master had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn’t know when Xu Luo had turned into this greedy and ugly appearance today.

All those doubts, all those unanswered questions that she once had, all of them were dissipating at the moment, and she didn’t want to explore them anymore, because the answers, long ago, didn’t matter.

The Ice Palace Master looked towards the Drunken Demon, she decided that she would leave the matter of disposing of Xu Luo to the Drunken Demon, firstly, to fulfill Jian Wuji’s mandate, and secondly, for her own sake.

The Drunken Devil put down his glass of wine, slowly got up, and said faintly, “It will be over soon.”

“I’ll wait for you outside.” The Ice Palace Master said, turning around and walking into the thick fog.

“You heartless woman! You cold-blooded, heartless monster!” Xu Luo looked at the departing back of the Ice Palace Master and roared hysterically.

The Drunken Devil smiled coldly and said, “The reason why you’ve ended up in this situation today is because you’re too stupid, you don’t even realize what a terrifying opponent you’ve incurred.”

When Xu Luo heard this, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and laughed coldly, “Even if there is no Ice Palace Master, do you think, you can kill me?”

“Just try and see.” The Drunken Demon said, his figure flashed and instantly arrived in front of Xu Luo.

Xu Luo had prepared for this, he slapped out his palm, and his majestic palm power, transforming into a white pike, swept towards the Drunken Devil.

The Drunken Devil didn’t dodge and met him with a punch.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the two powerful forces collided together, erupting into an earth-shattering roar.

Xu Luo only felt a mountainous force coming at him, he let out a muffled grunt, his body was like a kite with broken strings, flying out backwards, hitting the wall behind him heavily.

“Pfft!”

He opened his mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale.

“You ……”

Xu Luo struggled to stand up, but realized that he was powerless to move at all.

“You’re too weak.” The Drunken Demon walked up to Xu Luo and looked at him condescendingly, saying coldly, “You don’t even realize what a terrifying opponent you’ve incurred.”

“Who the …… hell are you?” Xu Luo looked at the Drunken Demon with a look of fear in his eyes.

“It doesn’t matter who I am anymore.” The Drunken Demon said indifferently, “You only need to remember that you died at the hands of my brother’s enemies.”

After saying that, he slapped his palm at Xu Luo’s heavenly aperture.

“Stop!”

Right at this moment, a dainty cry rang out, and a white figure descended from the sky, blocking in front of Xu Luo.

The person who came was none other than the Ice Palace Lord.

“Palace Lord …… “Xu Luo saw the Ice Palace Lord, as if he had grabbed a lifesaver, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes.

“You can’t kill him.” The Ice Palace Lord looked at the Drunken Demon and said coldly.

“Why?” Drunken Devil asked.

“Because he is a person of my Ice Palace.” The Ice Palace Lord said, “It’s not your turn to dispose of my Ice Palace’s people.”

“Hmph! Fake sympathy!” Xu Luo sniffed and laughed coldly in his heart, the reason why the Ice Palace Lord stopped the Drunken Demon was not because she really wanted to save him, but rather, she was just trying to maintain the face of the Ice Palace.

“Do you think that you can really keep him?” The Drunken Demon looked at the Ice Palace Master and said coldly.

“That also depends on whether you have the ability.” The Ice Palace Master said as a powerful aura emanated from her body, an aura that was cold and piercing to the bone, as if she wanted to freeze everything around her.

“You ……” The Drunken Devil felt the powerful aura emanating from the Ice Palace Lord, and his face instantly became grave.

He knew that although he wasn’t weak, he was still quite a bit inferior to the Ice Palace Master.

“What? Afraid?” The Ice Palace Lord looked at the Drunken Demon and said with a cold smile.

“Humph! I, Drunken Devil, have never been afraid of anyone yet!” The Drunken Devil snorted coldly, and a powerful aura also emanated from his body, an aura that was furious and incomparable, as if he wanted to destroy everything around him.

The two powerful auras collided together in the large hall, erupting with a shocking loud sound.

The great hall trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

“Enough!”

Right at this moment, a majestic voice rang out, and a black figure, appeared in the middle of the great hall.

The person who came was none other than the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, Sword Wuji.

“Young Prelate!”

Seeing Jian Wuji, Drunken Devil and Ice Palace Master bowed at the same time.

“You two, you’re really getting more and more out of line!” Jian Wuji looked at the Drunken Demon and the Ice Palace Master and said in a stern tone, “To go so far as to make such a scene over a traitor!”

“Subordinate knows his mistake.” The Drunken Devil and the Ice Palace Lord sniffed and hurriedly bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

“Hmph!” Jian Wuji let out a cold snort and said, “For the sake of your merits in the past, I will spare you this time, but if there is a next time, you will not be lightly spared!”

“Many thanks, Young Sect Master!” The Drunken Devil and the Ice Palace Lord sniffed, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.

“Xu Luo, what else do you have to say?” Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Xu Luo and said coldly.

Xu Luo’s face turned pale as he sniffed, knowing that he was finished.

“I …… I ……”

He opened his mouth to defend himself, but realized he had nothing to say.

“Hmph! What else is there to say when you’re dying!” Jian Wuji snorted coldly and said, “Men, take Xu Luo down and escort him to the dungeon to await his punishment!”

“Yes!”

Two Demon Sect disciples entered in response and escorted Xu Luo down.

“Young Sect Master, my subordinate is not sure about one thing.” Drunken Devil looked at Jian Wuji and asked.
