213: Chapter 213 Extreme Cold Ice Marrow! The Wrath of the Hidden Sects!

"What, do you have a lead?" Su Yang reached out and pinched Qin Xueji's fair cheek.

Qin Xueji's cheeks flushed slightly from the pinch, but she didn't dodge. Instead, she lowered her head even more submissively, like a Persian cat needing its master to smooth its fur.

"Boss, I don't know much about the ruins of the Cultivation World. However, our Su Family sponsors three top-tier national geological exploration teams. Just half a month ago, one of the teams that went deep into the 'Death Valley' of the Kunlun Mountains suddenly lost contact."

Qin Xueji looked up, a hint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Before losing contact, they sent back an extremely blurry piece of encrypted gibberish via satellite. Our Su Family's technical team spent a whole week deciphering it and only managed to decode a few words—glacier, palace, man-eating."

Hearing these three words, Su Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Glacier, palace, man-eating.

This perfectly matched the remnant map in his hand and the Origin of that ten thousand year profound ice marrow.

"Very good, you haven't been a head butler for nothing."

Su Yang nodded approvingly. "After we get back, send me the last known location of that exploration team. Also, have Red Rhombus use the underground black market network to keep a close eye on any transactions related to 'Kunlun' or 'remnant maps'. Report immediately if there's any news."

"Understood, Boss," Qin Xueji replied obediently.

Being able to help Su Yang gave her a strange sense of accomplishment. This billionaire female CEO was, without realizing it, completely adapting to her identity as a "maid of the Su Family."

At one in the morning, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped smoothly outside Locust Tree Alley No. 44.

"We're here, get out."

Su Yang patted Mary, who was still drooling while resting her head on his lap.

"Mm... Boss, I haven't slept enough yet. How about I just sleep in the car tonight?" Mary muttered dizzily, rolling over. Her explosive curves were practically bursting out of her tight leather skirt.

"Suit yourself. Just don't wake up freezing in the middle of the night and come knocking on my door."

Su Yang didn't bother with this foreign Vampire and pushed open the car door to step out.

Pushing open the vermilion gates, the courtyard was quiet.

Spiritual Qi so dense it wouldn't dissipate had turned into a faint white mist, drifting slowly in mid-air. Da Hei was coiled on top of the wall; seeing Su Yang return, it obligingly lowered a vine to help him close the gate.

By the stone table in the center of the courtyard, Bai Li, dressed in a white dress, was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed in meditation.

The bright moonlight spilled over her peerlessly beautiful Face, seeming to plate her in a sacred halo that prevented any thought of profanity.

Hearing footsteps, Bai Li slowly opened her purple eyes and gave a sweet smile.

"Hubby, you're back. Didn't bring back a couple of vixen from the secular world on that cruise ship?"

"Where in this world is there a more authentic vixen than you?" Su Yang walked over and sat down beside Bai Li without ceremony, pulling her into his arms.

At that moment, the Extreme Yin Jade Pendant hanging from Su Yang's waist suddenly flashed with a red light.

Chu Ling, dressed in a classical wedding gown, jumped out impatiently. As a top-grade zombie, she usually liked to stay asleep inside the jade pendant, which was rich in Yin Qi.

Now, her pale and beautiful Face carried a hint of resentment as she stiffly leaned in front of Su Yang.

"Boss is biased, taking the foreign zombie out to play while keeping me locked in the jade pendant. Is it because you dislike that Chu Ling is a cold, dead zombie and that taking me out would lose you Face?"

Seeing Chu Ling's aggrieved look, Su Yang couldn't help but be amused.

"Stop acting like Lin Daiyu. This young master went out and brought back some exclusive Advanced nutritional supplements for you. If you don't want them, I'll just feed them to Da Hei."

Hearing there was a gift, Chu Ling's eyes, which glowed with a faint cold light, instantly lit up.

"I want it! I'll even eat poison if Boss gives it!"

With a flick of his wrist, the half-drop of ten thousand year profound ice marrow, contained in a top-grade Spirit-Sealing Jade Box, appeared on the stone table.

The moment the jade box appeared, even before it was opened, an extreme aura of cold that made even the Soul tremble penetrated the box's Seal, forming a thick layer of frost on the stone table's surface.

"This... what is this?"

Feeling that aura, Chu Ling couldn't stop her entire body from trembling. It wasn't fear, but an extreme, deep-seated longing coming from her zombie instincts! It was as if a person who had been thirsty for three days and nights in the desert had suddenly seen a clear spring.

Bai Li's expression also shifted slightly. "Such an overbearing Extreme Cold Origin. Hubby, where did you get such a Heaven And Earth Treasure? The value of this half-drop of ice marrow is probably no less than the clan treasure of my Qingqiu."

"Bought it at a black market with some pocket change."

Su Yang casually made up the "pocket change" excuse, then flicked his finger, directly shattering the Spirit-Sealing Jade Box.

*Whoosh!*

That half-drop of deep, ethereal blue profound ice marrow was completely exposed to the air. The temperature of the entire courtyard plummeted instantly; even the Spiritual Qi seemed about to freeze. Da Hei, on the wall, was so scared it quickly retracted its vines back into the soil.

"Chu Ling, open your mouth!" Su Yang barked.

Chu Ling didn't need a reminder; that fatal attraction had already stripped her of the ability to think. She opened her red lips and took a sharp breath.

The half-drop of ten thousand year profound ice marrow turned into a streak of ethereal blue light and shot directly into her mouth.

*Boom!*

A ball of extremely blinding ice-blue light instantly enveloped Chu Ling's entire corpse body, turning into a massive ice cocoon three meters high.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

The sound of cracking and reforming continuously came from the surface of the ice cocoon. A terrifying pressure belonging to the "Unmelting Bone" level, the highest Realm for a zombie, was rising frantically inside the cocoon at a violent speed.

A full fifteen minutes passed.

*Bang!*

The ice cocoon burst apart, turning into a sky full of crystalline ice shards that reflected dreamlike colors under the moonlight.

As the ice shards dissipated, a brand-new Chu Ling appeared before Su Yang.

The slightly tragic classical red wedding gown she wore was gone, replaced by an ice-blue off-the-shoulder gown condensed from extreme cold Yin Qi. The hem of the gown was like a blooming ice lotus, making her originally paper-pale skin appear as warm and delicate as mutton-fat jade.

What surprised Su Yang the most was that Chu Ling's body was no longer in that cold, stiff state of a dead corpse, but was radiating a vibrant vitality like that of a living person!

Unmelting Bone Realm—Yin reaching its peak generates Yang, shedding corpse qi to transform into a true body!

"Boss..."

Chu Ling slowly opened her eyes; her originally cold eyes had now turned a deep ice-blue. She looked down at her pair of fair hands, which finally had a real sense of touch, and her tears instantly burst forth.

She threw herself directly into Su Yang's arms, hugging him tightly.

"Boss! My body has become soft! I have a heartbeat and warmth; I'm no longer a cold zombie!"

Feeling the incredible softness in his arms and the warmth that clearly had the texture of living skin, Su Yang couldn't help but curl his lips into a wicked smile.

"This money was well spent. From now on, I finally don't have to worry about sleeping while hugging a block of ice in the middle of the night." Su Yang took the opportunity to pinch Chu Ling's slender waist; it felt excellent, no longer having that iron-like stiffness from before.

Chu Ling laughed through her tears, and a moving blush actually rose to her cheeks. She tilted her head up and looked at Su Yang with utmost seriousness.

"Boss, Chu Ling's life and this body belong to you for all eternity."

While Su Yang was enjoying the benefits of a beautiful spirit zombie throwing herself into his arms at his base...

Thousands of miles away from Jiangzhou City, in a poisonous, misty valley deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Yin Sha Sect Headquarters.

*Bang!!!*

Inside a magnificent assembly hall built of obsidian, a deafening boom rang out. A throne made of pure gold was directly blasted into powder by a terrifying Golden Core Stage pressure.

"Who is it! Who exactly did this!!!"

An old man wearing a purple-black taoist robe, with a head full of white hair but a Face like a baby, roared in the hall like a maddened beast.

He was the current Sect Master of the Yin Sha Sect, an Evil Path giant at the Golden Core Great Perfection, Extreme of Nether Heaven!

On a stretcher in the center of the hall lay the Young Sect Master, Yin Wujiu, his entire skeleton shattered and his Meridians snapped, looking like a pile of mud.

"Sect Master... it was a young man from the secular world..."

The few surviving Disciples who had escorted Yin Wujiu back knelt on the ground, trembling, not even daring to lift their heads.

"That kid killed Elder Hei with a single stomp and crushed the Young Sect Master's entire skeleton from a distance... He even left a message..."

"What other crap did he say! Speak!" Extreme of Nether Heaven's eyes were bloodshot, and the Yin Sha Qi around him almost condensed into physical skulls screaming in mid-air.

"He... he said for you to prepare twenty billion in cash within three days, bring all the Heaven And Earth Treasures in the Sect's treasury, and go to Locust Tree Alley No. 44 in Jiangzhou City to kowtow and apologize to him."

"Otherwise... otherwise, he would personally come to dig up our Yin Sha Sect's ancestral graves and throw everyone in the Sect into a septic tank..."

After hearing the Disciple's report.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. All the Elders held their breath in terror.

"Hahahaha! Good! What an arrogant brat from the secular world!"

Extreme of Nether Heaven laughed out of extreme anger, his laughter laced with a cruelty that made the Soul tremble.

"Go and strike the funeral bell on the back mountain!"

"Request the Grand Elder to come out of seclusion! Issue my Sect Master's order to gather all Inner Sect Disciples and the thirty-six Tiangang Corpse Puppets!"

"This seat wants to see who will be scattering whose ashes in three days!"
