I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

At this point, all the Sovereign Realm experts of the Misty Palace had perished, and only one in ten of the true disciples remained. The great formation of Tianshan City collapsed.

Shen Ming kept his word and severed their lineage.

The survivors of Tianshan City were filled with fear and unease, worried that the Black Dragon would massacre the city.

They realized that the black dragon would be happy to do such a thing as long as Shen Ming gave the order.

Shen Ming put away his Golden Flame Primordial Spirit and the Hengyu Cauldron, and the murderous aura that permeated the world gradually lessened.

The people in the city were finally relieved.

Shen Ming ignored them and went straight into the Misty Palace, using his Eye of Truth to search for Cheng Ying.

Cheng Ying didn't know what was happening outside, but she could sense the huge commotion and knew it was a massive battle that had turned the sky upside down.

Clearly, it was Senior Brother Shen who stood up for Miss Li and started the fight.

She felt guilty and worried about Senior Brother Shen's safety.

The door was broken open from the outside, and upon seeing Senior Brother Shen safe and sound, the person was overjoyed but immediately realized what was happening.

This is inside the Misty Palace, yet Shen Ming moves as if he were in an empty place!

What it means is self-evident.

Sadness welled up inside him, uncontrollable. No matter what, he was a disciple of the Misty Palace.

However, the thought of the Misty Palace offering herself to the Ice Spirit Clan evoked a mix of sadness and a strange feeling.

"Senior Brother Shen, just kill me," Cheng Ying said.

This was the only way she could think of to find relief.

"You didn't know?" Shen Ming frowned.

From Heilong's account, he couldn't tell whether Cheng Ying did it on purpose.

Now that I've seen Cheng Ying like this with my own eyes, I know the answer.

"I just wanted to help Senior Brother Shen, I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Cheng Ying was too ashamed to face him.

Shen Ming's cold gaze softened, and he said, "In that case, take care of yourself."

"Senior Brother Shen, you don't blame me?" Cheng Ying asked in surprise.

"Those who should have paid the price have been executed."

After saying that, Shen Ming stopped paying attention to Cheng Ying. Putting himself in her shoes, he realized she was also a pitiful person.

But he couldn't care less about that now. He left the Misty Palace and flew straight into the snow-capped mountains to find the Other Shore Flower.

Li Miaozhen's condition cannot be delayed any longer.

His departure took away the oppressive atmosphere.

The people from Tianshan City who came to participate in the hunting battle were amazed and started a heated discussion.

"The Ice Spirit Clan was eliminated right at the beginning; that's really tragic."

"So, what exactly caused the conflict?"

"It is said that the boy's followers stole the Misty Palace's most treasured artifact."

"That can't be right. If they had the strength to force the Misty Palace to hand it over, would they need to steal it?"

Judging from the outcome, it was clearly a setup by the Misty Palace, but they kicked a hornet's nest and provoked the person they least wanted to offend.

At that moment, an even colder frost descended from the sky.

Compared to the frost and cold air that the previous quasi-king had only covered a range of a hundred feet, this cold air enveloped the entire Tianshui City, threatening to freeze the heavens and the earth.

"The Ice Spirit King! The Spirit King of the Ice Spirit Clan!"

The four levels of the Sovereign Realm are known as the King-level Realm: Lesser King, True King, Human King, Earth King, Heaven King, and Quasi-Emperor.

Among them, the Human King is unique to the human race, while in other races, such as the Spirit Race, they are called Spirit Kings.

"It's the Ice King!"

Some people saw familiar spirit patterns and a towering figure in the frost.

One of the eight kings of the Ice Spirit Clan, he was the father of Frostfeather.

"They're here! The Spirit Race is launching another campaign against their enemies!"

All sides are eager to participate, each with an attitude of enjoying the spectacle.

“Bring me the head of the person who killed my son, and I will reward you with a piece of immortal marrow.”

The Ice King's words resounded throughout the land.

"Immortal Essence!"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with fanaticism, their faces etched with greed.

The protectors of various factions are eager to act, for a piece of immortal essence could allow them to break free from their shackles and reach a higher level.

"Who will fight alongside me!"

Immediately, someone stepped forward. It was the quasi-king of the Rock Spirit Clan, with a brown, rocky body and features that looked as if they had been painted on.

He witnessed Shen Ming's strength and knew that he couldn't succeed on his own.

However, he wasn't the only one who was interested; a dozen or so prospective kings stepped forward.

"Don't set up formations, don't join forces. He can be restrained. Use a series of tactics to fight him off."

Based on Shen Ming's performance just now, they formulated a strategy.

“His Nine Yang Divine Fire Pearl is effective against the Ice Spirit Clan, but it’s useless against me. I’ll lead the charge!” said the quasi-king of the Rock Spirit Clan.

In terms of defense, the Rock Spirits are tougher than the Ice Spirits; even if their bodies are torn to pieces, they can reassemble themselves.

“I have the Dragon Binding Rope, which can restrain his black dragon,” a general of the imperial dynasty said in a deep voice.

“My Qiankun Gourd can devour his wind and thunder power.” A white-haired Taoist priest in a long robe spoke; he was an elder from a certain academy.

"I cultivate the Xunfeng Technique, which allows me to disperse the icy energy, and it can also reach him!"

After reaching a consensus, they flew into the snow-capped mountains.

They are all protectors, and the hunters they protect are not idle; they follow closely behind.

In the snow-capped mountains lies the War King's Decree they have been longing for.

"Speaking of which, we're really lucky. We definitely can't compete with someone like that."

"With more than a dozen quasi-kings surrounding him, no matter how powerful he is, it's useless."

"How come we never have? Now that I think about it, we can't seem to remember that face."

As the group of prodigies talked, they realized that their memory of Shen Ming from earlier was completely blank.

Not only them, but the prospective kings also noticed this.

They gazed at the vast snow-capped mountains, trying to find that familiar figure within them, but soon realized that there was no corresponding image in their minds.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?!"

The prospective kings were quite frightened; such skills were not something ordinary people could master.

"Legend has it that the Emperor's Treasury contains a Heavenly Secret Umbrella that can shield the secrets of heaven and prevent outsiders from prying into them."

"But not to the point that people can't even remember his face."

"That must be an even more powerful treasure!"

Fortunately, having no memory of something is still a kind of memory. The snow-capped mountains are uninhabited areas, so strangers appearing here are targets.

They stopped probing Shen Ming's presence and instead searched for any other people in this area.

Soon, they discovered something and immediately surrounded it.

"is it him?"

The prospective kings caught up with Shen Ming, but none of them were sure if he was the person they were looking for.

Only after gradually confirming the boy's powerful aura did they realize that this was their target, because it was impossible to encounter two such top geniuses in one day.

Shen Ming looked at the group of people, who seemed aggressive, and was puzzled.

Each faction is acting independently. There were other spirit races in the city just now, and none of them took action for the Ice Spirit Clan.

Now they're coming at me in droves.

On second thought, he guessed that it was the Ice Spirit Clan that had issued the bounty.

"You don't respect my Spirit Clan, so we'll teach you a lesson!" the Rock Spirit Clan's Quasi-King rebuked.

“Young man, as a protector of the Dao, it is only natural for me to clear obstacles for those I protect. I have no personal grudges,” the white-robed Daoist said.

"You have nowhere to go, so surrender and we'll give you a quick death," the imperial general roared.
