574: Chapter 574 Trouble

A Core Disciple of the Ice Toad Holy Sect passed by and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, I heard everything Bing Xueer said. Aren't you going to report it to Revered Master?"

"What do you know?!"

Bing Wangchuan glared at him. "Do you know how much cultivation level Revered Master lost last time while suppressing the cold poison for the Palace Master of the Ice Cloud Palace?"

"This... your Junior Brother really doesn't know."

"A full fifty years!"

"That much!"

"Of course!"

Bing Wangchuan glanced at him sideways and said slowly, "Revered Master is broad-minded and looks after the Palace Master of the Ice Cloud Palace, but we can't let them keep demanding without limit!

Revered Master's safety is linked to the future of the Ice Toad Holy Sect. If anything goes wrong, you and I will regret it too late!"

"That may be so, but if you keep it hidden and Revered Master finds out, she will surely blame you, Senior Brother. It's not worth the risk!"

"Humph! Everything I do is for the grand development plan of the Ice Toad Holy Sect. Even if Revered Master blames me, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

...

On the other side, Bing Xueer was still pacing back and forth, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Snow'er, Revered Master is dying! Is the Ice Toad Holy Mother unwilling to come?" An Elder of the Ice Cloud Palace's voice trembled from the sound transmission jade slip.

Bing Xueer's brows furrowed tightly. She rushed straight toward the Ice Toad Holy Mother's Immortal Cave while simultaneously sending a Soul Sound to Xiao Chen for help:

"Brother, come quickly! Revered Master's cold poison has flared up, and her life is in danger!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen had just finished arranging Lin Jiu'er and Lin Xi'er of the Xuanming Cult, Duanmu Yan of the Tianchan Sect, and Xuanyuan Zijin of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect into the System Space.

Hearing Bing Xueer's anxious Soul Sound, he rushed toward Bing Yuqiu's Immortal Cave at top speed. That was his future wife; nothing could be allowed to go wrong.

Bing Wangchuan sensed a sound of breaking air approaching, and his expression changed instantly. If she were allowed to see Revered Master, he would inevitably be punished.

He immediately shouted, "Bing Xueer, Revered Master is in seclusion! You must not disturb her!"

However, Bing Xueer was like a ray of icy light, weaving through the mountain peaks at extreme speed, completely ignoring his words.

"Bing Xueer, stop right there!"

Bing Wangchuan formed hand seals, and curtains of ice suddenly formed ahead, blocking Bing Xueer's path.

"Get out of my way!"

With one palm strike, Bing Xueer shattered the nine layers of ice curtains. She leaped forward and simultaneously struck a palm backward, a Giant Icy Palm hitting the rapidly approaching Bing Wangchuan.

"Pfft..."

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Bing Wangchuan's body was sent flying backward, crashing through several mountain peaks before finally coming to a halt.

"Bitch, stop right there!"

Bing Wangchuan scrambled up in a sorry state and shot forward, chasing after Bing Xueer again.

Sensing the commotion, the Ice Toad Holy Mother released her Divine Thought to investigate and immediately noticed a figure flying toward her Immortal Cave at high speed.

She stood up and walked out of the Immortal Cave.

As the Immortal Cave's gate opened, Bing Xueer's anxious face was revealed: "Junior Bing Xueer pays respects to Senior."

"Hmm?"

Bing Nianchu was somewhat confused. "It's Snow'er. What is the matter?"

Just then, Bing Wangchuan's voice arrived before he did, "Revered Master, Bing Xueer has seriously injured your Disciple! You must seek justice for me!"

Bing Nianchu was startled. She turned her gaze and saw the disheveled Bing Wangchuan, with a trail of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Her brows furrowed instantly as she questioned, "Snow'er, what are you doing?"

Bing Xueer's expression was slightly flustered. She hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "There is a reason for this. I was forced into it. Please be magnanimous, Senior."

"Humph! What urgent matter could you have that required you to injure my Disciple!"

"My Revered Master's cold poison has flared up and her life is in danger. I beg Senior to treat her first. I am willing to accept whatever punishment Senior deems fit."

Bing Nianchu's brows furrowed slightly. It had only been ten years since she last suppressed the cold poison for Bing Yuqiu. How could it flare up again?

"Revered Master, Bing Xueer is arrogant and unreasonable. I told her you were in seclusion and that I would report later, but she actually forced her way in and seriously injured me, waah..."

After speaking, Bing Wangchuan actually began to wail.

"Bing Xueer, how dare you!"

Bing Nianchu's face turned cold, and she scolded sharply, "You seriously injured my Disciple, and yet you expect me to take action and save your Revered Master? You are dreaming!"

At these words, Bing Xueer cried in desperation and fell to her knees with a thud. "The cold poison was too fierce. I was forced into a corner. Please forgive me, Senior."

"Say no more!"

Bing Nianchu waved her hand and turned away. "Bing Xueer, don't think that just because you are favored by the Haotian Holy Maiden, you can look down on us!

Even if the Haotian Holy Maiden were here, she wouldn't have the power to force me to save someone I don't want to save!"

Beside them, a glint of triumph flashed in Bing Wangchuan's eyes. I'll see who can take charge of the Ice Cloud Palace once Bing Yuqiu is dead.

"I only acted out of desperation to save my Revered Master, I had no such intention!" Bing Xueer prostrated herself on the ground, keeping her posture extremely low.

"But it is a fact that you seriously injured my Disciple!"

"As long as Senior is willing to save my Revered Master, I will not hesitate to fulfill any request Senior has!"

"Are you serious?"

"Absolutely."

Bing Nianchu glanced at her and said indifferently, "In that case, as long as you break off your relationship with Xiao Chen and become my Disciple's concubine, I will immediately go to save Bing Yuqiu!"

"This..."

"What, you're unwilling?"

"I..."

"Humph!"

Bing Nianchu looked at her coldly. "It seems your words are no different from farts. Your Revered Master's life is still not as important as the lover in your heart!"

"No, no, no!"

Bing Xueer's eyes were filled with tears as she waved her hands frantically. "It's not like that..."

In the midst of her dilemma, Xiao Chen's voice sounded in her ear via sound transmission: "Snow'er, your Revered Master's cold poison has been suppressed. Where are you?"

Bing Xueer was stunned, then her heart filled with joy. Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she murmured to herself, "I knew it, Brother would definitely have a way!"

"Hmm?"

Bing Nianchu noticed the change in her expression and showed a hint of doubt.

"Revered Master's cold poison has been suppressed!"

"How can that be?"

Bing Nianchu looked at her in disbelief. That was cold poison derived from an Ice Extreme Sacred Body; an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator would be frozen into an ice sculpture upon contact.

Back then, she had spent fifty years of cultivation level plus two fourth-grade fire-attribute spirit plants just to suppress Bing Yuqiu's cold poison.

"I still thank Senior. This Junior will take her leave now."

Bing Xueer quickly stood up, bowed with cupped hands, and prepared to return to the Ice Cloud Palace area.

"Stop!"

Bing Nianchu's angry shout rang out from behind. "Bing Xueer, you seriously injured my Disciple, and you think you can just leave so easily? Is there such a cheap thing in this world?"

Bing Xueer's body stiffened, and she bowed apologetically. "What must I do to appease Senior's anger?"

"Since you say Bing Yuqiu's cold poison has been suppressed, then let her come here in person to redeem you!"
