Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305
This was her mission as the Ice Palace Supreme Elder.
Did they really think ascending to half-step Martial Sovereign was that easy?!
The reason she was a supreme powerhouse at the half-step Martial Sovereign stage was due to other reasons.
Originally, her strength was merely at the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level.
However, after the previous Ice Palace Supreme Elder passed away, the Ice Palace no longer had a supreme powerhouse at the half-step Martial Sovereign stage to hold the fort.
This was unacceptable for the Ice Palace, surrounded by formidable enemies.
The realms of half-step Martial Sovereign and the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster were worlds apart.
Though only those in the know understood the intricacies, everyone knew that even five experts at the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level could not match a supreme powerhouse at the half-step Martial Sovereign stage!
So, at that time, the other three senior sisters of this Ice Palace Supreme Elder conspired together to sacrifice themselves and fulfill her, forcibly granting her the strength of a half-step Martial Sovereign.
However, those few also passed away within just a few years.
After all, without their strength, their lifespans shortened significantly.
Thirty years have passed, yet the events of the past remain vividly clear.
It could even be said that the life of the current Ice Palace Supreme Elder was given by those sisters, for her lifespan had exceeded that of a Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster.
Therefore, she must fulfill the wishes entrusted to her by those sisters.
As for those fortune tellers who divined the Emperor's lifespan and fate of the nation, each divination consumed their lifespan in ways that could only be described as terrifying!
This is why those fortune tellers almost always have short lives.
Xu Hao led Bing Wanxin, Qiu'er, Shuan'er, and others out of the snowy mountain. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
When Bing Wanxin saw Xu Hao make a call to have a vehicle pick them up midway, she was immediately filled with curiosity.
Just now, midway, with Anna's help, Bing Wanxin learned how to use a cellphone, and now seeing a car, she was naturally curious.
Although Qiu'er and Shuan'er were not venturing out for the first time, this was only their second time; their first outing was in the morning when the Ninth Elder brought them out, but they had never ridden in a car.
Seeing the three girls behaving like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, curious about everything external, Xu Hao couldn't help but laugh.
If there is truly a pure place left in this world, the Ice Palace would definitely be one of them.
Never mind that the Ice Palace Master spoke so assertively and seemed to have a clear head, her attitude was written all over her face; she could not hide her emotions at all.
Perhaps because they are too proud to bother with little tricks.
They are the type of people who are both laughable and infuriating.
Liu Ruyan noticed the three girls were still wearing plain white clothes, which was incompatible with the minus seven or eight-degree temperature, so she suggested, "Why not take them to buy some winter clothes? Otherwise, appearing outside is too striking."
Xu Hao turned an inquisitive gaze towards Bing Wanxin.
After discussing among the three sisters, Bing Wanxin agreed, but she said, "Xu Hao, we know buying things outside requires money. I will definitely pay back the money you use to buy us stuff!"
Xu Hao glanced at her and said, "Save it, I don't lack money, besides, you can't afford it."
Bing Wanxin said with a delicate humph, "I am a strong late-stage Grandmaster; can't I earn money in the secular world? My master said with my strength, I could walk sideways in the secular realm. Can't I earn money?"
Xu Hao chuckled lightly and said, "No matter how strong you are, you still have to follow the secular rules in this world, or else your strength is not enough to prevent others from dealing with you."
"Humph!" Bing Wanxin wanted to retort again, but Shuanger held her hand, stopping her from arguing with Xu Hao.
Outside, Xu Hao was the decision-maker, and they just needed to be safe hostages.
However, the pride in Bing Wanxin's bones destined her not to easily accept Xu Hao's charity, so she started discreetly questioning Anna and others about the outside world.
Liu Ruyan found it amusing that this girl, who was so arrogant in the Ice Palace, turned into a typical young girl upon entering an unfamiliar environment, like a curious cat, asking about everything she saw.
Soon, the driver pulled the car up to a mall.
The driver was truly envious of Xu Hao, but he could only admire him from afar, not daring to look too long, knowing his life might depend on it.
Yang Family Stone Wall Mall.
Seeing this name, Xu Hao almost had it figured out; this must be a mall run by the Yang family, one of the four major forces in Tianbei Province.
Shiyuan City is the northernmost city of Tianbei Province, but among the four major forces of Tianbei Province, only the Ice Palace is here; the other three are in different cities.
When Xu Hao hopped out of the car with six distinct beauties, it immediately caused a stir among the crowd outside the mall.
