Chapter 258 The Prisoner of Icy Peak

Lyu Liang was now a disciple of the Icy Peak Clan, where over 90 percent of the region was open to him. However, two places were forbidden, and anyone who violated this rule, would be considered as a renegade, and be killed!

One forbidden area was a black-screened place behind the Icy Peak. It was said that the transmission formation to the Wild Domain was there! Only the disciples, who were entrusted with a special task and had permission from at least two Ancestors, could enter this place!

And the other forbidden area was a jail called ‘the Deathly Isolator’. Reputedly, many people, including the clan’s enemies, were imprisoned inside. The two dried bodies Lyu Liang had once seen, were from here!

As such, Lyu Liang knew what he needed to do. If he was not mistaken, his companion was probably in the Deathly Isolator, and the black-screened place would be the only way for him to get to the Wild Domain!

“Liang, the two forbidden areas are both protected by formidable Bounded Domains, which embody superior Power of Heaven. Although I can get through them, it’s impossible not to alarm the enemies. Once they are alert, it will be much harder for you to probe these two places again!” Hearing what Black had said, Lyu Liang could only postpone his plan.

Now that he must swallow the Dragon-Tiger Pill, he would just accept this opportunity, and familiarize himself with the environment of the Icy Peak, for the time being.

During these days, the girls had been flirting with Lyu Liang. However, owing to Ancestor Frost’s regulation or some other reasons, as long as he did not respond, none of them dared to harass him, which made him sigh with relief. Nevertheless, the fiery passion burning in their eyes could melt ice, which had existed for tens of thousands of years…

During his spare time, Lyu Liang managed to scan and have a general understanding of his surroundings.

The Icy Peak Clan, being an influential power in the Nether Big World, had several thousand disciples, 60% of whom were Tao Masters!

Except for cultivation, these disciples seemed not to be interested in anything at all. All of them had numb looks on their faces, which made people feel icy cold.

Among the three clans on the Icy Peak, the Frost Peak Clan had the least disciples, but its strength was ranked the first! Its notorious Yang-Absorption Method was a formidable Cultivation Method, which could turn the Qi absorbed from males into one’s own power. The demon bitches of the Icy Peak, as they were usually called, were proverbial in the entire Nether Big World!

Thanks to Ao Fengxue’s garrulousness, Lyu Liang learned all of these, without any effort.

Arrogant as he looked, Ao Fengxue seemed to be on good terms with Lyu Liang. He was frank about all he knew about the Icy Peak, and thus left a good impression on Lyu Liang.

“Beware if you encounter Ancestor Snow! He is amiable when his hair is red. But when he holds his head and his hair turns black, run away as fast as you can!” “That’s because he will then become a maniac of medicine. Nobody knows how many times he has mentioned your constitution, and I believe that he is itching to use you as medicine material and throw you into his furnace!” Ao Fengxue swallowed his saliva and continued, “Red-haired Ancestor Snow is the weakest among the three, but once his hair turns black, ho ho, he can almost rival any powerful figures in the Dark Reign!”

Heeding Ao Fengxue’s warning, Lyu Liang decided not to go to the Snow Peak again. Thinking of the affable smile of that old man every time he went there, he felt it was quite eerie…

After five days, the King of Medicine finished the refinement of a Tranquilization Pill, while Lyu Liang spent a whole day trying to cultivate it.

After another four days, when Ancestor Frost summoned him, he knew that it was time to take the Dragon-Tiger Pill!

All the three Ancestors were present in the main hall of the Icy Peak. On a square table among them, there was a golden brocade box, inside which a pill shone brightly with green and yellow halos. This was the legendary Dragon-Tiger Pill.

“My disciple, this is a Dragon-Tiger Pill. Swallow it now, and I will tell you the cultivation method.” As Ancestor Frost pointed at the pill, it flew directly to Lyu Liang.

Even though he had prepared well for this moment, when he took it, he still had a dread that his reputation would thus be sullied… However, to his surprise, his body did not have any abnormal reaction, even when he swallowed it wholly.

When Lyu Liang was wondering about that, Ancestor Frost said, “I’ll take you to a place, where someone can help you with your cultivation. Let’s go.’

Lyu Liang nodded and followed Ancestor Frost out of the hall, flying to the south of the Icy Peak…

“Senior brother, is this guy really not an opponent? I don’t mean to challenge Junior Brother Chiling’s judgment, but I just feel strange about the sudden appearance of such a genius!” Watching Lyu Liang leave, red-haired Ancestor Snow said in a low voice.

Ancestor Ice smiled slightly and said, “Among us three, Frost is the most suspicious. Now that she chose him and gave him the Dragon-Tiger Pill, she must have full confidence about it. So, we don’t need to worry about that. Besides, even if something unexpected happens, no matter who he is, the Icy Peak will teach him an unforgettable lesson!”

……

As Lyu Liang flew forward, he had a surprised look on his face. After a while, he mumbled, “Master, here… seems to be a forbidden area. We…”

“Yes, you will cultivate the Dragon-Tiger Pill here, and the one who can help you is also here!” As Ancestor Frost said, she pulled out a cyan token and handed it over to Lyu Liang. “Take it, and then you can get through that foggy Bounded Domain in front of us.”

A moment later, after going through the fog, Lyu Liang saw the so-called Deathly Isolator.

It was not as chaotic as he expected. Instead, it was clean and tidy.

Numerous small peaks were scattered in it, each of which had a gray fog cloud at its top. In the middle of the entire Deathly Isolator, there was a grand, silver palace afloat in the midair. It was surrounded by all kinds of restriction formation of runes, which made Lyu Liang frown at once.

Although he had been relying on Black to break Bounded Domains, he could tell from those unintelligible runes, that these were all formidable array units with superior Power of Law.

Meanwhile, the stronger light on the Guiding Talisman in his body also confirmed his judgement. He only hoped that his companion was not being badly tortured.

“This is where I live and where you will cultivate the Dragon-Tiger Pill. Follow me.” Then, Ancestor Frost led Lyu Liang directly to the palace.

“Ancestor, welcome back!” Four enchanting cyan-dressed females suddenly appeared. As they made their respectful greetings, they tossed a glance at Lyu Liang. Their eyes, though not bloodshot, had the same passion and greed as the others outside.

“This is your junior brother, Man Zi. He has taken the Dragon-Tiger Pill and will be staying here for some time, until he fully cultivates the pill.” Ancestor Frost nodded and led Lyu Liang deeper into the palace.

All of them were at the Peak of Supreme Master! Lyu Liang frowned slightly again. Considering the mighty forces on the Icy Peak, it seemed that he was over-optimistic about coming to the Nether Big World!

After entering the palace, Lyu Liang was taken to the westernmost side. There was a 100-meter-long, three-meter-wide stone bridge, under which was a terrible blood pool boiling furiously, with numerous white bones in its midst. At the end of the bridge was a middle-sized tower, standing alone on a peak.

Just then, a feeling of being constrained secretly swept over Lyu Liang. The next second, he had become an ordinary man without any mana!

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just a restriction formation. You will cultivate in that tower, and the one who can help you is an important prisoner of the Icy Peak. To avoid any incidents, we set restriction formations here, which are powerful enough to trap even a Divine Ancestor. When you cultivate here, don’t wander around. If you trigger some formidable formation, no one can help you!” Ancestor Frost said calmly, but Lyu Liang knew that meant he would also be imprisoned here.

When he followed her across the stone bridge, several sudden restriction formations began attacking his Divine Soul. Although he was able to get out of here with Black’s help, it would be troublesome if his companion was also trapped here!

When the door of the tower opened, Lyu Liang came back to earth. Just then, he noticed that such the massive tower was empty, without any decorations, except a small iron-grating window.

A small figure was curled up in an innermost corner. When the door opened, her body began shaking subconsciously, and she struggled hard to cower against the wall.

Just then, something shocking happened!

“Ho ho, my sweetheart, we have been separated for several days. Did you miss me?” Ancestor Frost’s cold face suddenly glowed with excitement. Flashing to the corner, she squatted and held the girl’s charming yet horrified face with one hand, and began licking it greedily with her tongue.

The beauty of the girl was beyond words, and yet the helplessness, fear, and desperation on her pale face, shocked Lyu Liang deeply.

Subconsciously, when he saw this strange girl, he felt exceptionally familiar with her. The subtle feeling that he had, when he met Shangguan Ying was what he was feeling too, at this moment!

With deep sorrow and other mixed emotions, White’s voice sounded, “Boy, this girl has the Spiritual Body! However, her soul has been sealed up, and now she basically has no mana at all. And… it’s too cruel! I never expected that I could see a divine weapon of human again… Boy, promise me, one day, when you are formidable enough, destroy the Icy Peak! At least, Ancestor Frost must die!”
