Chapter 2924: Practice Cultivation Right Here
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lady Karolina was a scourge. Mu Ningxue did not intend to spare her. However, Mu Ningxue had not found a way to break Lady Karolina’s Shell of Life yet.
Mu Ningxue turned around and looked at the Extreme South Castle, several figures charged at them at breakneck speed.
The power unleashed from the arrows were so great that one could sense its powerful force even from dozens of kilometers away. Even though the alliance was in the middle of a closed-door meeting, they would send someone to check on the situation.
Mu Ningxue noticed those people were dressed in Holy Judgement Court battle suits. It was clear that they came from the Holy City.
If Mu Ningxue stayed around, she would only get into greater trouble. She glanced at Lady Karolina.
Lady Karolina looked smug. Her grin was hideous because of the pain she felt. Her smile looked twisted and sickly.
Lady Karolina did not expect for things to end up this way. The Shell of Life that came from the Holy Dragon was precious. She only had one chance to use it. Regardless, the outcome would still be the same. The alliance would take Mu Ningxue down. The Holy City would bring justice. Lady Karolina would naturally be the one to decide the outcome of that justice!
Mu Ningxue did not waste any more time on Lady Karolina. She turned around and walked toward the grayish and green glacial world. The earth was covered in white. Mu Ningxue’s silhouette gradually faded. One of the experts from the Holy City tried to catch up with her. The expert must have heard Lady Karolina’s cry for help and assumed Mu Ningxue was the perpetrator.
Mu Ningxue was not as fast. She wielded the Ice Crystal Bow and forced back the expert from the Holy City with some arrows before quickly hiding inside a million-year-old glacier vein.
…
A fierce storm raged, and the falling snow attacked her skin like razor blades. Mu Ningxue stepped into a raging world that resembled something straight out of the barbaric era. The place was covered in snow-capped mountains. The fading sunlight looked as if it could not penetrate the area.
Mu Ningxue found an ice cliff and rested there. The brutal cold could not harm her. But still, she felt very cold.
No matter what, she would not go to the warm areas. She resolved that she would not leave her fate in the hands of the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance.
Even if she told the truth and had Wei Guang as her witness, she would not simply hand herself over to the Holy City and the alliance for their disposal.
All she could do was flee. There were many experts within the alliance. If she went somewhere warm, they would certainly find a way to bring her back in chains. By then, she would have no control over what would happen to her.
She decided to go deeper into the Extreme South Land to keep herself protected using the harsh environment to her advantage.
If the experts from the alliance were too far away from the ice castle, they would be affected by the environment. Hence, Mu Ningxue was safe in the depths of the Extreme South Forbidden Land.
…
She laid on the ice and took a nap.
Mu Ningxue had to recuperate. Even though she no longer fainted after using the Ice Crystal Bow, it left her physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, she did not encounter any powerful Extreme South Demons along the way.
She cleaned her face with the snow. Mu Ningxue stood on the ice cliff and stared at the ancient, icy cold, and deserted glacier. She could not help but think of the person who had been forced to Tianshan Mountain. The person had to live alone in the ice mountain veins.
Mu Ningxue was just like her. She had been banished to this place. ‘What was wrong with this world? It rejected everyone and everything.’
When Mu Ningxue saw how Qin Yu’Er was tied up on a stake in the middle of the Holy City, she felt angry for her and thought it was unfair to treat someone this way. At that moment, Mu Ningxue finally realized that no one was spared if dictatorship and abuse of power existed in this world. They could either give in and join them, or they could fight back. If they fought back, they would be regarded as a heretic and be completely wiped out.
“I’ll just practice my cultivation here for a while.” Mu Ningxue’s eyes had not turned entirely black.
She was aware of all this. Otherwise, she would not have trained to grow stronger without caring much about others. Becoming strong and powerful was the only way to break herself free from the dictators in the Holy City. Perhaps she could rise to power if she was strong enough.
Of course, all this was possible only if she could survive.
…
Meanwhile, Lady Karolina laid motionlessly on a cold, stone bed like a leather puppet inside the Extreme South Castle.
“You’ll need to take some time to recover. Lady Karolina, is Mu Ningxue truly so powerful that she could injure you this severely?” Michael stood beside her bed, looking confused.
“She wields an evil bow. How pathetic! Under the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance’s governance over the years, we never put up with heresy, Black Vatican, forbidden spells, and evil things. Little did we know that Mu Ningxue had long dabbled in evil and had passed the point of no return. Regarding the origin of the evil bow, feel free to ask Mu Rong about it.” Lady Karolina gnashed her teeth.
“I’ve already asked about it. The Ice Crystal Bow requires a person with special Ice Element innate talent for sustenance. An individual alone is hard to fulfill the Ice Crystal Bow’s requirement. It requires many Ice Bow human sacrifices. If one were to collect all the ice crystal fragments, one would have to rob the cultivation of the holders. Obviously, the Magic Association absolutely forbids such a spell. Any spell that uses life, soul, or cultivation as sacrifice is evil, indeed. The Holy City and the Magic Association will not allow the existence of such an evil spell in this world,” said Archangel Michael with great conviction.
“It’s good that you understand. I’ve suffered a lot to dig out such a dangerous person for the Holy City. Archangel, I hope you can apprehend her as soon as possible!” Lady Karolina said solemnly.
“The elders told me that she escaped into Reckless Ice Land. What matters most now is to take down the Extreme South Emperor. At the very least, we must stop it from its transformation. The place where Mu Ningxue hid herself is a forbidden land where even a Forbidden Mage cannot survive. We don’t have to spend so much time on her,” said Michael.
“But without her innate talent, how do we cross the Avalanche River?” asked Lady Karolina.
“Lady Karolina, we sent out the recruitment order and brought you the person. It’s you who messed things up!” said Michael harshly.
“I-I understand.” Lady Karolina dared not speak more.
“Pay half of your soul as the price. Without a substitute, you must bear your own consequences. We must cross the Avalanche River.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll help to fulfill the order of the plan to take down the Extreme South Emperor,” said Lady Karolina.
“Take a good rest. We’ll depart in three days after the snowstorm is over,” said Michael.
Lady Karolina’s face turned gloomy as she watched Michael leave.
No matter what, she would not spare Mu Ningxue!
