Full-time Creation Master

Let's rewind to one month later!

The Supreme Council of the Dragon Kingdom!

October 2018, 5!

........

The formal meeting has ended; now it's time for casual conversation in small groups!

Shao Zheng said meaningfully to Vice Speaker Chen Xuanqing, "This Chu Ming is not to be underestimated in terms of both strength and intelligence!"

And he's very patriotic!

We've profited quite a bit from working with him!

"However, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Chu Ming should be considered separately!"

"Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a global organization, it originated in Sanctuary and is basically in cahoots with the Federation!"

"Secretly arrange for people to keep a close eye on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s every move, and report immediately if any signs of harm to China are discovered."

Chen Xuanqing nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in his slightly open eyes: "Don't worry, Grand Speaker, I've already made the arrangements."

If S.H.I.E.L.D. truly harbors ill intentions, we will not let them succeed.

We will not let it mislead our patriots!

As they talked, they both burst into laughter.

They couldn't help but praise Chu Ming... fearing that Chu Ming would be led astray...

Since the speaker and deputy speaker hadn't left, the other members of parliament also found an excuse to stay and listen quietly!

such as,

Representative Zhao, who was in charge of foreign affairs, straightened his robe and cleared his throat.

"Gentlemen, I propose..."

Councillors Lau Man-man, Chiu Tak-hing, and Wong, you can't just swat flies, you can't let tigers go either!

We should organize our forces and try to subdue the Emperor-level White Lotus!

That place is a treasure trove from head to toe!

With Representative Zhao starting, and given that it was just casual conversation anyway, the representatives from other factions nodded in agreement.

With these three congressmen, the military, and the Forbidden Curses Association leading the way, the risks are low and the rewards are high!

As a result, everyone showed their support!

"I think this is a good idea!"

"Indeed! A decisive blow will prevent the demon emperors from turning their attention here!"

"The White Lotus Emperor dared to perform a blood sacrifice; he must pay the price!"

"......."

Shao Zheng frowned and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.

The group of lawmakers who were making a fuss quickly stopped!

"Councilor Zhao, your proposal is well-intentioned, and I understand your concern for the country."

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Hey!

Only seven or eight of the "elders" of the Supreme Council remain; the rest are "children" who have never truly witnessed the life of an emperor!

"But it's not the right time yet."

The strength of an emperor-level being is too great; they are beings who stand at the pinnacle of power.

Their every move can cause earth-shattering changes.

"Even if we gather all the top forces of the Dragon Kingdom, we may not be able to escape unscathed."

Moreover, if we act rashly, the Holy City might take the opportunity to put pressure on us.

"You should know that although forbidden spellcasters are powerful, they are also subject to the control of the Holy City."

I don't need to explain why the Forbidden Spells Association was established, do I?

We cannot take unnecessary risks, lest we find ourselves in a passive position and plunge the Dragon Kingdom into utter ruin.

Stability is paramount!

His expression was solemn, and his tone was firm, clearly indicating that he had given it considerable thought.

Upon hearing this, Councilor Zhao showed a perfectly timed hint of disappointment on his face and slowly sat down.

It was just something I mentioned casually, and I didn't take it to heart!

One more!

Speaker Shao Zheng and the Deputy Speaker overheard their "whisper"!

Isn't it obvious what this means?

He knew in his heart that Shao Zheng's refusal was not solely due to his fear of losing the war.

Furthermore, they do not want certain forces to rise through the war and disrupt the existing power balance.

Throughout history, war has been the best way to reshuffle the cards!

In the Dragon Kingdom Council, every decision is related to the interests of various forces; one wrong step could lead to total defeat.

.........

The Mu councilor, who had left the Supreme Council at some unknown time, returned to the Mu family's ancestral land, Mount Mupang!

As a world-renowned family of forbidden ice spells, the Mu family's Mount Mupang, located in the capital city where land is incredibly valuable, is even more valuable as a sacred place for ice spells than its property prices!

Between heaven and earth, the cold wind carried a bone-chilling cold.

Like countless sharp blades, they relentlessly slice through this majestic mountain!

The Mu family's territory is like an ice and snow kingdom sealed by the dust of time.

Thick layers of snow covered the area.

It's as if it wants to shut out all the noise and chaos of the world.

The surrounding undulating icebergs resemble a lurking dragon.

It winds its way across this land.

Every mountain peak is bathed in the gentle caress of the sun.

It shimmered with a dazzling light like crystal.

That was the unique luster of the century-old snow and millennium-old ice that the Mu family had specially transported from the North and South Poles at great expense; it was incomparably pure.

It's like a dreamlike fairyland.

The family's castle is like an ice fortress.

It stands proudly at the waist and peak of the iceberg.

Huge blocks of ice were stacked together seamlessly.

It formed an impregnable city wall.

Icicles hanging from the city wall sway gracefully in the howling wind, reflecting a chilling light.

Representative Mu Bingzhen, head of the Mu family, has returned from the Supreme Council.

His figure appeared even taller and more imposing against the backdrop of the snow and ice.

It seemed as if it had become one with this vast, icy plain.

The moment I stepped through the family gate.

The members of the clan who were studying at Mount Mupang bowed respectfully.

As a sacred ground for ice magic, the effects of ice magic mages training there are no less than those from the Earthly Holy Spring or the Seven-Step Tower...

Beginner mages receive a 3x speed boost; intermediate mages receive 1.6x, and advanced mages receive 1x!

Therefore, Mount Mupang has never lacked mages!

The clear and resounding voice of the "chieftain" echoed across the icy plains for a long time.

Mu Bingzhen nodded slightly.

His deep gaze slowly swept over this territory that was all too familiar to him.

My heart is filled with countless emotions.

All the memories of the past flooded my mind like a tidal wave.

And now, the family is once again in the eye of the storm!

The atmosphere inside the council chamber was so heavy it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.

Elder Mu Yinfeng and Elder Mu Bingluan were already waiting there.

Mu Yinfeng was dressed in white, exuding elegance and nobility.

His eyes revealed shrewdness and calculation.

Mu Bingluan was dressed in a light blue robe.

He looked slightly reserved, and a hint of hesitation occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Mu Bingzhen strode to the head seat and slowly sat down.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, fixed directly on the two elders.

He said in a deep voice.

"Now, the world is changing rapidly, and Chu Ming, who can be called the son of the times, has risen to power and stirred up a storm."

Our Mu family has also reached a critical moment where we must make changes.

The training plan for Mu Ningxue must be adjusted immediately.

"The forbidden seed, it's her!"

It took Mu Bingzhen a great deal of effort to make this decision!

The cultivation of Mu family members under the age of 30 is as follows: ordinary disciples (basic resources that all young members recorded in the Mu family genealogy can obtain) -> outstanding clansmen (those with some talent who may reach the level of intermediate or even high-level mage in the future) -> genius clansmen (high-level seeds) -> core clansmen (disciples who can be included in the core decision-making level of the family) -> super-level seeds -> forbidden spell seeds!

Originally a bow slave, Mu Ningxue, even with the added advantage of her innate spiritual seed, was only at the level of a genius clansman!

Even becoming a high-level mage is uncertain, with no clear timeframe for how many years it will take!

Now, it's directly become the family's forbidden curse seed?!

Even Mu Bingzhen had to contact the ancestor to properly handle the support from various factions for her!

As expected, Mu Yinfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speak.

"But, clan leader!"

Mu Ningxue is merely a member of a collateral branch of the family!

His mother sacrificed herself because of her family!

One more!

For a long time, we have regarded Mu Ningxue as a pawn in cultivating the Ice Crystal Bow.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to transfer her to the core group for training without any prior notice?"
