The entire hall fell into deafening silence, broken only by the faint sounds of ice forming and shattering, and the weak gasps of the wounded.
The once-rowdy and tense conference room now resembled a frozen ruin, buried under an eerie stillness.
Everyone, including Ouyang Xuan and the others, stood rooted in shock.
Their pupils contracted as they stared at the scene before them, which had ended in an instant.
What?
Did she just... make her move?
Did she just effortlessly cripple all the diplomats sent by the sects?
What happened to "When two nations are at war, envoys are not harmed"?
The surviving disciples of the ancient sects lay on the ground, their faces drained of color.
Their disbelieving gazes locked onto the crystalline figure, radiant as a divine being.
A god?
No...
That was... a demon!
The memories buried deep in their minds resurfaced at last.
The Frostfiend!
This woman, Su Muwan—she looked exactly like the Frostfiend from the Profound Heaven Realm all those years ago!
Clap—clap—clap—
"As expected of the young miss."
At that moment, Qin Luo stepped forward, slowly applauding. His figure flickered in and out of view amidst the icy mist.
With every step, the frozen ground beneath him emitted faint cracking sounds.
After sweeping his gaze over the paralyzed sect disciples sprawled on the floor, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Just as he had predicted.
Muwan’s strength was more than enough to deal with these cannon fodder weaklings below the T0 tier.
Su Muwan, meanwhile, deactivated her Frostfiend mode and stood to the side with a light hum.
Still, she couldn’t help but glance at Qin Luo curiously. "If we cripple these people, what about the original plan?"
Qin Luo shook his head slightly and chuckled. "What if I told you this was part of the plan?"
The ancient sects were arrogant to the core. Naturally, they wouldn’t send their true elites to a meaningless alliance meeting like this.
Which meant… there was plenty of room for manipulation.
The surviving sect members trembled, their eyes filled with terror and wariness.
It wasn’t just Su Muwan’s terrifying appearance that unsettled them.
It was Qin Luo’s words that truly horrified them.
A plan?
What plan?
Could it be—?!
One of the sect elders, his lips quivering, managed to choke out, "Madness! This is madness!"
"The Alliance has lost its mind!!"
Pointing at Su Muwan’s face, he shrieked in terror, "You’ve actually allied yourselves with the Frostfiend!"
"We’re doomed! The world is doomed!"
His voice was hoarse with fear, all traces of his former arrogance and authority completely gone.
Su Muwan: ???
Qin Luo: "......"
A pale-faced elder from the Lingjiu Palace, barely clinging to life, gasped, "A deception... this was all a deception!"
"Ha... hahaha!"
"Just as the Supreme Ancestor warned… No wonder he told us not to provoke modern martial artists!"
"So this is why!"
"I understand now! This was all part of that venomous witch’s scheme!!"
In that instant, every last one of them had transformed from their previously domineering selves into broken, terrified wrecks.
Their eyes brimmed with sheer horror.
Feng Chu, too, stood frozen in place, his face twisted in shock as he stared at Su Muwan.
The image of her in that frozen state earlier—he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
The Frostfiend?!
The one who single-handedly declared war on the Profound Heaven Realm?
The one who slaughtered the Seven Supreme Elders?!
Even a powerhouse like Grandmaster Lu was reduced to nothing but dust under her hand!
Could it be…
They were sealed away and preserved until now…
All for the purpose of—
Thud!
Feng Chu collapsed to the ground, his body limp, his expression one of sheer terror, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
In her past life, the Frostfiend could absorb the cultivation of prodigies to strengthen herself.
In other words…
The reason she had frozen them all was to keep them—
Like food stored in a freezer!
None of them could forget that day.
The day seven Supreme Elders fell, and the entire world was transformed into an icy wasteland.
So, that demon still existed to this day?!
Their faces ashen with despair, the sect disciples slumped to the floor.
Only Su Muwan remained utterly baffled. She tugged at Qin Luo’s sleeve, whispering, "Hey, hey, Qin Luo, what the hell are these guys muttering about?"
"‘Frostfiend’ this, ‘Frostfiend’ that—did I just beat them stupid?"
Qin Luo fell silent for a moment before a thought occurred to him.
Was it possible…
This had something to do with that bronze cauldron?
"They might not be entirely wrong."
Su Muwan immediately scowled. "Excuse me? How the hell am I a demon?"
"Have you ever seen a demon as gorgeous as me?"
"Understood, young miss. I’ll explain everything in detail once we return."
"But before that..."
Qin Luo turned his gaze back to the despairing sect disciples.
A faint golden light flickered in his eyes as he spoke.
"All of you, swear an oath."
"Pledge eternal loyalty to Lady Su!"
[Commanding Words—Activate!]
[Charming Eyes—Activate!]
In an instant, under the dual effects of his control—
The mentally and physically exhausted disciples found themselves chanting involuntarily:
"We swear eternal loyalty to Lady Su!"
"We swear eternal loyalty to Lady Su!"
"We swear eternal loyalty to Lady Su!"
[Unified Army—Activate!]
Instantly, their loyalty shot up to 100%, with no chance of betrayal.
Then—
Qin Luo snapped his fingers.
Countless shadowy hands materialized in front of the crippled disciples.
Slap—slap—slap—!!
A relentless barrage of slapping sounds echoed through the hall.
Under Ouyang Xuan’s stunned gaze, the disciples were miraculously restored to their original states.
The ice gradually melted away, and the once-arrogant or terrified expressions on their faces were replaced with unwavering respect.
They stood at attention, bowing deeply to Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
"Lady Frostfiend, we await your command."
For the love of—I still have no idea what this ‘Frostfiend’ nonsense is about!
Su Muwan couldn’t help but facepalm internally.
Ouyang Xuan and the others took a deep breath.
Well, damn.
Did they just… turn the entire enemy force?
They exchanged glances, struggling to process what had just happened.
They had been fully prepared for battle, only for the enemies to suddenly surrender?
With the matter settled—
Qin Luo smiled in satisfaction.
Perfect.
All his meticulous planning had led to this—forcing them to trigger the [Unified Army] effect.
Now, for the next step...
He snapped his fingers again.
Gurgle—!
In an instant, thick black mist surged from the floor, and several figures emerged from within.
Jiang Zixuan, Huang Lingyu, Huang Lingfeng, Chen Gong, Little Qing, Shen Fei, Zhu Lan…
"Luo-ge."
"Young miss."
Shen Fei and the others had been briefed beforehand, so they weren’t surprised.
Su Muwan, however, blinked in confusion.
Huh? Why did he summon Zhu Lan and the others?
What was Qin Luo planning?
She got her answer a second later.
Qin Luo turned to Shen Fei and the exchange students arranged by the Alliance.
"Each of you, pick a sect to infiltrate. Bring your phones—I’ll contact you when needed."
Ouyang Xuan’s eye twitched.
...You’re disturbingly modern about this.
With that, Qin Luo turned to Su Bailian, then pointed at Feng Chu and said, "This is the Primordial Holy Land. Go in and wait for further instructions."
"Oh!"
Su Bailian nodded. Originally, she had been terrified.
But for some reason—
after witnessing Su Muwan in action and Qin Luo’s bizarre abilities—she found herself strangely calm.
Hoisting a large backpack, she rolled her eyes internally as she trudged into the ranks of the Primordial Holy Land’s disciples.
Life’s tough, sigh.
After this undercover mission, mark my words—this lotus is retiring for good!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
