North State, the farthest north place

A magnificent Ice Palace was built for Xiao Lingyue by Lin Batian. Xiao Lingyue’s ice-based Spiritual Root is more advantageous for her cultivation in this environment.

That’s why a huge amount of money was spent to establish such an ice palace in this far north place.

The enchanting scene, like a fairyland, made Xiao Lingyue very happy. She wore a red dress and danced on the ice, like an elf. Her beautiful dance mesmerized onlookers.

"Ahem…"

Lin Batian noticed that the Lin family’s children were enchanted, so he coughed a few times to bring them back to reality.

"No wonder our leader is so fascinated with this girl. She truly has captivating qualities."

"Don’t doubt our leader’s taste."

Lin Chaosheng and the others secretly whispered below, not realizing how beautiful Xiao Lingyue was before. But now, as she danced, she truly looked like a fairy.

"Lin Lang"

After the dance, Xiao Lingyue flew to Lin Batian’s side, looking at him shyly. She hadn’t been this happy in a long time.

"Yue’er, as long as you’re happy"

Lin Batian nodded with a smile. The Ice Palace did cost a lot of money, but he thought it was worth it. Firstly, it could make a person smile, and secondly, it could provide a safe place for Xiao Lingyue to practice her skills and not get involved in the Lin family’s affairs. In recent years, with Lin Die and Lin Ying, the two sisters, absent, there were not many people in the family who could help him. Xiao Lingyue had taken on a lot of responsibilities.

Although Xiao Lingyue followed the rules in her work, Lin Batian still didn’t want to entrust major matters to her. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her character, but rather her abilities.

"Lin Lang, please come see Yue’er more often in the future."

"That goes without saying. From now on, this area will be guarded by Yue’er."

Lin Batian nodded, choosing to place Xiao Lingyue in the far north for another reason: to control the Human Demon Tribe and demons of the extreme northern region, ensuring the interests of the Lin family in that area.

While talking, the servant had already prepared the food. Lin Batian invited everyone to sit down and enjoy the meal, and also discuss matters in this place.

After a few days, Lin Batian happily left. He had good self-control and didn’t want to stay in the gentle town for too long and risk losing his ambition. Ꞧ

After everyone left, Xiao Lingyue focused on her practice. The environment here was very suitable for her, with abundant spiritual energy and plentiful resources, which boosted Xiao Lingyue’s confidence.

"She’s truly like a fairy. I wonder if she would cry for three days if I slapped her."

Outside the Ice Palace, a transparent figure watched Xiao Lingyue inside. In this snowy world, Xiao Lingyue liked to wear red clothes. Even from a distance, one could feel her beauty.

This piqued Su Chang’ interest. As a perverted person, he enjoyed torturing handsome men and beautiful women. The contrast between their stunning appearance and tragic end filled him with intense satisfaction, feeding his perverted interests.

Su Chang kept watch outside the Ice Palace for a long time, observing everything. Besides Xiao Lingyue, the Ice Palace had over a hundred servants attending to her daily needs and over a hundred guards patrolling the surroundings. These guards also had to mediate the conflicts among the Human Demon Tribe.

The population in the extreme northern region had decreased significantly in the past two years. This forced the Lin family to put effort into managing and organizing, such as allocating territory to the tribes and providing them with sufficient food to promote population growth.

The far-north land is too harsh for normal cultivators to survive, let alone ordinary people. Apart from the demon clan and the Human Demon Tribe, only high-level cultivators can live here for a long time. Otherwise, the Lin family wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble and could just migrate people here directly.

After observing for a while, Su Chang understood the daily routine of the Ice Palace very clearly. This made him unable to wait any longer. It had been a while since he heard screams or saw the sight of blood, which made him very uncomfortable.

Driven by curiosity, Su Chang took action. He used a secret technique to completely go invisible and gradually approached the Ice Palace. The Ice Palace had formations and restrictions, but they couldn’t stop Su Chang. He was a skilled Formation Master himself.

He observed the techniques used by the guards entering and exiting and figured out how to break the formation of the Ice Palace. Silently, he entered the Ice Palace.

Su Chang lurked inside the Ice Palace like a hunting cheetah. He didn’t rush to take action, but instead searched for the core of the formation. He had to control the core of the formation before he could make a move. He was very cautious about this.

After observing, Su Chang learned that the core of the formation was in the hands of a woman named Lin Tan. She was Xiao Lingyue’s trusted personal maid.

"Bang!"

Su Chang waited for several days until Xiao Lingyue went into seclusion before taking action. With a single strike, he knocked out Lin Tan and took the control token of the Ice Palace’s formation from her. Then, using his powerful spiritual perception, he erased the marks on it, gaining control over the formation.

"What’s going on? Why won’t the formation open?"

"Can’t go out anymore."

"Uh-oh, something’s changed at the Ice Palace."

The guards inside the Ice Palace were the first to notice something was wrong. They also had control tokens, but they only controlled part of the formation, which was useless now. They were trapped inside the Ice Palace.

"Stay calm."

Xiao Lingyue quickly became alarmed and angrily scolded, taking charge. The guards and servants swiftly calmed down and gathered around Xiao Lingyue.

"Where’s Lin Tan?"

"Reporting to the elder, Miss Lin Tan is missing."

"Wait here."

Xiao Lingyue nodded, realizing something. She quickly flew towards a building in the Ice Palace, where the central formation was.

"Boom!"

Su Chang attacked by surprise. When he saw Xiao Lingyue approaching, he swung his sword with great force, and a powerful blade rushed towards Xiao Lingyue.

Xiao Lingyue’s robe shattered, and she could barely withstand this move. However, Su Chang’s subsequent attacks came quickly, wave after wave. Xiao Lingyue desperately defended herself, unable to launch any counterattacks. She struggled to withstand Su Chang’s onslaught.

"Ice Barrier"

Seeing that she was no match, Xiao Lingyue became anxious and quickly used a secret spell. Suddenly, icy layers began to form around her, growing rapidly until within a radius of thirty meters, everything was covered in ice. It had turned into an Ice Stone, leaving only a one- to two-meter gap around Xiao Lingyue.

This was a somewhat ineffective secret technique. It had strong defensive power, but it also trapped Xiao Lingyue. If she wasn’t so desperate, she wouldn’t have used it.

Su Chang swung his weapon repeatedly at the massive Ice Stone. Chunks of ice fell off, but they quickly solidified again. This surprised Su Chang.

"This ice lump is really tough to break!"

Su Chang sighed. This ice lump was harder than a top-grade magical artifact, and it quickly repaired itself. Normal methods were useless.

"Who are you, sir?"

Xiao Lingyue quickly rested and prepared inside the Ice Stone.

"You’ve been chasing me for years and still don’t know who I am?"

"Killing Demon Su Chang?"

"I prefer being called the King of Murder by others."

"Haha, asking for death."

Xiao Lingyue sneered. She had finished resting and changed her equipment, but she hesitated on whether to dissolve the Ice Stone and fight Su Chang. Over the years, Su Chang had gained a great reputation and had a stronger combat power.

"It seems your guards are not loyal enough, no one came to save you."

Su Chang glanced around. With such a commotion, anyone within a hundred miles would have heard it if there were no formations in place. Yet, the guards didn’t even bother to come and take a look.

Xiao Lingyue didn’t make a sound. These guards were all former thieves, so it’s normal for them to be disloyal. Besides, they’re just a group of weak guys at most with a golden core. What use are they?

"Guards who are not loyal must be killed. Keeping them is just a waste."

As Su Chang spoke, he took out a jade box. When he opened it, a flame suddenly flew out. Su Chang controlled the flame to fall onto the Ice Stone, causing it to melt rapidly, and steam rising up.

"Qinglian Earth Fire."

Xiao Lingyue recognized this spirit fire and gritted her teeth.

"Yes, Qinglian Earth Fire. Later, I will use this fire to burn your hand, and you must use your ice magic to see if your ice magic is stronger or my spirit fire."

"If you were in my hands, I would treat you the same way."

"Okay, I will also break your bones one by one. But you look pretty, so I should strip your skin. I have never done this before, you’re the first. You should feel honored."

Su Chang continued speaking with a serious and intense expression, giving Xiao Lingyue goosebumps all over. This bastard is truly a pervert.

I’ve been in North State for so many years, and I rarely see such a beautiful woman like you. The last time was when I met the Holy Maiden of the Snow Demon. I tortured her for half a month, and she eventually begged me to kill her. It was not fun at all.

You have the Soul Changing cultivation. You should be able to hold on for over a month. When that time comes, please don’t ask me to kill you, you know? Because that would be boring. You must hold on, okay…

Su Chang kept on talking to himself, while Xiao Lingyue was already starting to feel physically uncomfortable. This Killing Demon Su Chang is really too perverse, and I don’t know how many torturous methods he has. Those he killed didn’t have a painless death, all were tortured and countless people ended up begging him to kill them, wanting to end their suffering.

"Ah, the Ice Stone has melted."

After waiting for a while, the Ice Stone arranged by Xiao Lingyue finally melted. Su Chang raised his sword, facing Xiao Lingyue.

"Beautiful lady, here I come."

"Hehe."

Xiao Lingyue chuckled coldly, and then another ice barrier secret technique appeared. The surroundings quickly froze again, preventing Su Chang from making a move.

"This is boring. Your Ice Stone can’t stop me. It will only take about two quarters of an hour for me to melt it. Or are you planning to compete with me in endurance? It’s useless. I have mastered all the formations here. No information can be transmitted out."

Su Chang said to himself, but Xiao Lingyue didn’t pay attention and just stared at the ice, calculating how quickly it was melting.

Su Chang was also watching the ice, but suddenly he felt a creepy feeling inside him. He exclaimed. This is a trap, you’re using yourself as bait!

"What are you saying?"

"Hmph!"

Su Chang snorted and put away his magical fire. Then, he jumped into the sky, trying to leave. At the same time, Xiao Lingyue made her move. She burst out of the Ice Stone, and a shower of ice arrows appeared, shooting towards Su Chang.

Su Chang quickly swung his sword and destroyed the ice arrows, but Xiao Lingyue wasn’t done. She unleashed even more ice arrows and larger chunks of Ice Stone.

"Trouble."

Su Chang was getting really angry, but he didn’t dare to stay. Suddenly, he exploded into pieces and disappeared right in front of Xiao Lingyue.

"Now that you’re here, can you escape?"

Xiao Lingyue laughed coldly, and as expected, at the next moment, Su Chang appeared. Because there was an Ice Palace at the center, a protective shield appeared within a radius of one hundred miles. This trap was like a formation within a formation, and the barrier outside the Ice Palace had already been deployed.
