Chapter 292
Teaching Snow Empress a Lesson, Deep Sisterly Affection
"Brother Lin Mu, how should we search for him?"
As she spoke, Ye Lingling hugged Lin Mu's arm, pressing her body tightly against his, as if trying to keep warm.
Seeing her shivering from the cold, a flame rose from Lin Mu's palm.
The next moment, the surrounding ice and snow began to melt rapidly, the temperature rose at a considerable rate, and the chill gradually lessened.
A moment later, Lin Mu looked into the distance and said calmly, "This is the territory of the Three Kings of the Far North. We don't need to go looking for them; they will come to us on their own."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure came from afar.
In an instant, Lin Mu's mental power locked onto the source of this oppressive aura: a Titan Snow Demon King that was over 100,000 years old.
If it were any other Soul Master with lower cultivation level, this oppressive aura would be enough to shatter their liver and gallbladder.
However, for Lin Mu and the other two, this pressure was nothing to worry about. Even Ye Lingling had a cultivation level close to level ninety-seven, which was enough to ignore this pressure.
"Roar!!"
A roar came from the highest glacier, loud enough to shatter the snow-capped mountains.
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snow monster-like spirit beast standing on the glacier, its height exceeding 100 meters, its entire body covered with thick, snow-white fur.
Without a doubt, this is Titan Snow Demon King, one of the Three Kings of the Far North.
Judging by size alone, the Titan Snow Demon King surpasses most ferocious beasts, with only the Deep Sea Demon Whale King able to overpower it.
However, physique does not represent strength.
Let alone the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, even Zi Ji, ranked ninth among the ferocious beasts, could easily defeat the Titan Snow Demon King.
At this moment, the Titan Snow Demon King was staring intently at the intruders below with his violent eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of emerald green light flew in from afar.
The moment it landed on the ground, it finally revealed its true form: a scorpion with ice-green and emerald-green stripes, about 1.5 meters long, smaller than a 100,000-year-old mantis shrimp.
It is Hyotei, the second of the three great kings of the far north.
Upon seeing Hyotei appear, Lin Mu's lips curled up slightly. He then stopped concealing his aura and released a pressure comparable to that of a god.
"Om-"
In an instant, the glaciers within a radius of 10,000 meters began to tremble violently, as if an avalanche had occurred.
In addition, this oppressive force pressed down on Hyotei like a mountain, subduing him in a single exchange.
Even the Titan Snow Demon King, who was far away on the glacier, was forced to roll down from it.
Because the Titan Snow Demon King was so enormous, when it rolled down from above, the entire glacier shook violently, almost breaking off the top of the glacier.
Fortunately, Lin Mu intervened in time and used his strength alone to block the Titan Snow Demon King's body.
Witnessing Lin Mu's terrifying strength, Ice Empress was filled with fear. She never expected that such a powerful Soul Master would appear among humans.
wrong!
This strength completely surpasses the realm of Soul Masters and has probably reached the level of Gods.
After stabilizing the situation, Lin Mu walked up to Bing Di and said calmly, "I want to make a deal with you, if you sacrifice your disciple to me."
"You're dreaming! I, the Emperor, will never yield!"
Before Lin Mu could finish speaking, Bingdi immediately stated her position: even if she had to self-destruct, she would not be willing to become a human's soul ring.
Seeing this, Lin Mu helplessly covered his forehead.
These soul beasts were all the same; they never waited for him to finish speaking. After he explained the pros and cons, they would eagerly agree. Just as he was about to explain further, an icy yet exceptionally pleasant voice came from high above.
"Human, release Bing'er immediately!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a pure white figure silently appeared in mid-air.
Her long, white hair cascaded down to her feet, and her sky-blue eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through everything in the world.
Her slender, delicate figure was flawless, and her white dress, though unadorned, made her appear so noble and stunningly beautiful.
Looking at this unrealistically beautiful figure, Lin Mu swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and instead said, "If you tell me to let go, wouldn't I lose face?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di frowned slightly; this human was indeed up to no good.
Although judging from the aura emanating from this person, his strength was far beyond imagination, she could not ignore it because it concerned Bing'er's safety.
Thinking of this, Xue Di said no more and immediately swung a palm down below.
"Emperor's Palm, Great Cold with No Snow!"
The palm strike was gentle, yet it instantly dissipated the surrounding wind and snow, as if warmth had descended. However, if it struck someone, this move was enough to freeze the soul master's blood, meridians, soul power, and soul all at once.
Lin Mu did not choose to confront the attack head-on. Instead, he dodged Xue Di's attack in a flash.
As one of the Snow Emperor's ultimate techniques, the Emperor's Palm contains the destructive power of absolute zero. Even if Lin Mu possesses the Qilin Flame, he wouldn't dare say he could withstand it without injury.
Besides, since he could dodge it, he wouldn't stay in one place and get beaten up.
"He dodged it!"
A hint of seriousness flashed in Xue Di's beautiful eyes; this person's speed was completely beyond her expectations.
Although some Soul Masters possess teleportation skills, they can only teleport a few meters at most, making it impossible for them to completely avoid the Emperor's Palm's attack range. Lin Mu, however, can fly hundreds of meters in an instant.
Unless it's an instant-cast skill, Lin Mu can easily dodge it.
However, the Snow Empress did not believe she could not defeat this person, and coldly said, "Human, if you have the ability, take one of my swords."
"That's ridiculous. Why should I take a hit from your sword? Besides, you've already made the first move. Logically, it should be my turn to strike now."
Lin Mu had no intention of indulging Xue Di; he would teach her a lesson and then take her as his soul spirit.
Although the Snow Empress is of the ice attribute, ice and water attributes do not conflict. Moreover, the Snow Empress has nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, making her a rare and exceptional soul spirit.
The next instant, Lin Mu disappeared from Xue Di's sight, and even her spiritual power could not detect his trace.
When Lin Mu reappeared, he was already behind Xue Di, and with a powerful punch, he smashed her into the snow with a thud.
"Xue'er!"
Seeing that Xue Di was injured because of her, Bing Di almost had an emotional breakdown. She immediately transformed into a girl and rushed towards where Xue Di had fallen.
Since Lin Mu did not use his full strength, Xue Di only suffered some minor injuries.
Compared to her previous ethereal appearance, the injured Snow Empress looked rather disheveled.
With Hyo-tei's help, Yuki-tei slowly stood up, looking at Lin Mu who was closing in with a serious expression, and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
“I’m missing a soul, and you’re just the right fit,” Lin Mu said frankly.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were slightly taken aback.
Although I don't know what a spirit is, I imagine it's similar to a spirit ring.
A moment later, Ice Emperor shielded Snow Emperor behind her, her face resolute, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Snow. I am willing to become your soul spirit." (End of Chapter)
