Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297

The two young girls, Qiu er and Shuan'ger, didn't express any opinions, but their gaze towards Xu Hao was full of curiosity.

Xu Hao looked so young, yet he could have his master come to meet him, something that had never happened before.

His master was quite an arrogant person!

Ninth Elder smiled slightly, "Hearing that Young Master Xu has arrived, everyone at Ice Palace welcomes you heartily and has sent me to invite Young Master Xu to visit our Ice Palace."

Xu Hao smiled, "I'm honored by the invitation from everyone at Ice Palace, but if Ninth Elder knows the reason, I'd appreciate a hint."

Ninth Elder hurriedly said, "But I don't know anything. Once Young Master Xu arrives at our Ice Palace, our Palace Master will naturally inform you of everything."

Xu Hao nodded slightly, "In that case, please lead the way, Ninth Elder."

Ninth Elder bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, then led Xu Hao and the others outside.

The mountain road became increasingly difficult to walk, but for Xu Hao and the others, it was still as easy as walking on flat ground.

Looking at the snow-covered mountains, Xu Hao immediately understood that Ice Palace must be hidden within them. Here, snow falls year-round, covering the landscape as far as the eye can see, and freshly made footprints are quickly covered by snowflakes. Without a guide familiar with this area, finding the location of Ice Palace would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!

This endless stretch of snowy mountains is the perfect disorienting array!

Even a Grandmaster Level Expert would have difficulty remembering the route. This is probably why they dare to bring Xu Hao here directly.

However, they don't know that although Xu Hao lacks a sense of direction, the Ao Ming on his shoulder is very good at remembering paths. Its small eyes squinted, and its eyesight surpassed Xu Hao's by an unknown multiple, memorizing everything visible.

Animals inherently have strong instincts, and if they cultivate, these instincts transform into formidable abilities.

Xu Hao continually used Qi Force to assist Liu Ruyan and the three girls in walking, ensuring their whole bodies were protected because it's extremely cold here, reaching temperatures as low as minus twenty or thirty degrees, which their skill level couldn't resist.

Ninth Elder led the way ahead, and with their speed comparable to galloping horses, it took half a day to reach a more grandiose mountain base.

Two large ice-sculpted characters, each ten meters square in size!

They hovered in mid-air, shining brilliantly under the sunlight, appearing dignified and sacred.

Anna murmured softly, "How can these characters hover in mid-air? Is this magnetic levitation?"

Hearing this, Xu Hao couldn't help but smile, "Magnetic levitation is modern technology. Ice Palace has existed for at least a thousand years, how could it relate to modern technology? They used the energy from the Mountain Protection Array to suspend these characters in mid-air."

Ninth Elder nodded slightly, smiling, "Indeed, you can see the intricacies at a glance, worthy of being ranked seventy on the Heavenly List as a superpower."

But Anna continued, "Isn't energy very precious? Why are they wasting it ?"

At Xu Liu Group Headquarters in Huadu, there's also a great array, and Anna knows the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array is limited, Xu Hao generally doesn't use it for other purposes.

However, here at Ice Palace, they waste energy so freely.

Xu Hao smiled, "Ice Palace is located in an area where snowy mountains abound for a thousand miles; they can manipulate an abundance of ice elemental energy, so suspending these two characters is a trivial matter." Updates are released by noveⅼfire.net

Saying this, Xu Hao pointed a finger, and a Qi Force shot out from his hand directly hitting a distant small hill.

The snow on the hill instantly exploded, and a woman emerged from the snow mist with an angry face, glaring at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao said calmly, "I don't like being watched secretly."

His gaze turned towards the front Ice Palace gate, with hidden traces of battle intent in his eyes.

Ice Palace bore no malice towards him, but their people had been monitoring him, which annoyed Xu Hao.

The gaze from the two young girls, Qiu er and Shuan'ger, towards Xu Hao was now filled with admiration. All arrays in Ice Palace are built against the mountains, either purely natural or semi-natural. When outsiders first come to Ice Palace with an elder's guidance, it's very challenging to detect the presence of arrays here.

After all, without a guide of at least Elder level, one would trigger the array's attack, but if there is such a guide, the arrays won't attack.

But what's more frightening is that Xu Hao could blast that senior sister out from hundreds of meters away, which is beyond the normal reach of a Grandmaster Level Expert!

Could this be the strength of a superpower ranked seventieth on the Heavenly List?

Ninth Elder hurriedly said, "Young Master Xu, we mean no harm whatsoever..."

However, before she finished her sentence, the Ice Palace gate suddenly opened.

Ninth Elder was instantly taken aback upon seeing the person who emerged.
