409: Chapter 419 Using a borrowed knife to kill! Divine summons!

Zhu Ziqiu's words were like an invisible slap, striking hard across the faces of Leng Aotian and the others.

Their faces turned shades of green and white; although they were furious, they dared not speak out.

In Winter Abyss, Zhu Ziqiu's status was extremely unique.

Not only had she stepped into the Saint Realm at such a young age, but most importantly, the purity of the Extreme Cold Bloodline within her had reached the "Ancestral Return" level!

This not only meant that her future achievements would be limitless, but it also meant that she was the true Goddess of Winter Abyss, with a status second only to the high and mighty Clan Chief.

After saying those words, Zhu Ziqiu paid no further attention to the group, heading straight toward the depths of the inner valley with Su Hao without looking back.

Her attitude explained everything. Su Hao was her guest, and whoever dared to touch him was going against her, the Goddess of Winter Abyss.

After their figures completely disappeared into the snowstorm.

A Young Master from a noble Family, who usually cheered for Leng Aotian, spoke with a gloomy expression:

"How could this be?! Although Junior Sister Ziqiu was cold by nature in the past, she was at least polite to us and never spoke such hurtful words. How is it that after going out for experience, she has become..."

He did not finish his sentence, but no one present was a fool; how could they not understand what he meant?

For that wild boy of unknown Origin, Zhu Ziqiu didn't even care about the bond of growing up together!

Leng Aotian glanced sideways at the Young Master, his eyes sinister: "We are not blind or deaf! Stop fanning the flames here. If you have a good idea, say it quickly."

The Young Master narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister sneer curling the corners of his mouth.

"Our Sister Ziqiu... oh, no! The Goddess of Winter Abyss, is the most talented goddess our valley has seen in tens of thousands of years. According to the clan rules, her Bloodline must only be paired with spouses from the top families within the valley to ensure the purity of the Bloodline."

"Now, she has brought back an outsider man and is protecting him so fiercely. If the Clan Chief finds out, would the Clan Chief agree??"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Leng Aotian and the others lit up instantly.

Borrowing a knife to kill!

That's right! The Great Emperor of Winter is such a proud and powerful figure; how could she tolerate the sacred Bloodline of the valley being tainted by an outsider?

"You brat... you are truly sinister."

Leng Aotian looked at the Young Master, a hint of wariness rising in his heart.

These noble disciples acted like brothers on the surface, but who among them wasn't a wolf that swallowed people without spitting out the bones in secret?

But at this moment, they all knew clearly that their biggest enemy right now was the black-robed man Zhu Ziqiu had brought back.

"Brother Aotian, that's being too distant," the Young Master shrugged, smiling insincerely.

"I'm doing this to uphold the rules of our valley. As the saying goes, 'The benefits should not go to outsiders.'"

Everyone looked at each other, instantly reaching a tacit understanding that needed no words.

Without hesitation, they activated their immortal power, turning into several streaks of light as they sped directly toward the Winter Temple.

...

Meanwhile, Su Hao followed Zhu Ziqiu to her private ice-jade courtyard located in the heart of the valley.

"You can rest assured and stay here. This is my forbidden area; without my permission, no one can enter."

Zhu Ziqiu turned around, her cold, autumn-water eyes quietly watching Su Hao, with mysterious rules faintly flowing within them.

Her innate Divine Ability allowed her to see a trace of the essence of all things' Origin.

Along the way, she had witnessed the terrifying potential of this second generation of the Su Family.

She knew very well that for the man before her, as long as he had enough time, a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm would be no difficult task.

Once Su Hao stepped into the Emperor Realm, the so-called Lingxiao Heavenly Palace arrest warrant would naturally be unable to do anything to him.

"Were those people who provoked us outside all your clansmen?"

Su Hao did not answer, instead taking the opportunity to change the subject.

"Only a very small portion are disciples of the Zhu Family."

Zhu Ziqiu sighed and explained: "Most of them are Prodigies from various noble families and affiliated Sects that depend on Winter Abyss. They are deeply intertwined with complex relationships."

She explained the power distribution of Winter Abyss to Su Hao.

Before she went out for experience, these people often used their Family and Sect connections to create opportunities to meet her.

At that time, Zhu Ziqiu knew in her heart that these people had impure motives; they wanted to get close to her for nothing more than binding their interests.

Her eyes could see through the essence of all things; this was originally a very Heaven-Defying Divine Ability, but it made her heart grow colder and colder.

Because she discovered that these people only had lechery and desire for her.

"But ultimately, all these forces only take orders from one person, and that is my little aunt," Zhu Ziqiu concluded.

"Your little aunt?" Su Hao raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Zhu Ziqiu nodded, her expression becoming somewhat grave.

"My little aunt is the Great Emperor of Winter. She is also the true person in charge of this land of extreme cold."

"She has always been aloof and arrogant, and extremely xenophobic. You should rest for a moment; in a while, I will personally take you to see her. With me there, she shouldn't make things difficult for you."

Su Hao understood in his heart.

The reason Zhu Ziqiu had such a bad attitude toward those people was surely because she had seen through their true intentions.

Just as Su Hao was deep in thought, preparing to continue asking for more information about this "little aunt."

"Hum—!"

A Divine Thought pressure that seemed capable of freezing time swept down from the temple!

There was not a shred of emotion in this Divine Thought, only the absolute majesty belonging to the Great Emperor Realm.

A female voice, even colder than Zhu Ziqiu's, echoed leisurely above the courtyard, entering directly into the Sea of Consciousness of both Zhu Ziqiu and Su Hao.

"Ziqiu, come to the main hall."

The voice paused for a moment; the Divine Thought seemed to linger on Su Hao for an instant before adding another sentence.

"Bring that guest as well."

The Divine Thought came and went quickly.

Zhu Ziqiu did not expect her aunt to want to see her so soon, and she looked at Su Hao and said.

"Let's go, I will take you to meet the master of Winter Abyss."

Su Hao didn't think too much about it and followed Zhu Ziqiu toward the Winter Temple.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the temple, they discovered that Leng Aotian and the others were also there. Zhu Ziqiu instantly understood why her aunt wanted to see her.

But Zhu Ziqiu did not lash out; she simply ignored the group and entered the temple with Su Hao.

Leng Aotian watched Zhu Ziqiu's back, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"Hmph! If I cannot have her, no one else should even think about it!!"
