Chapter 1496: Disappointed Sect Master
Chapter 1495 â Disappointed Sect Master
After all, after entering Sky class, the head position would be left open. Isolated practitioning was a common path, and the old sect master would no longer manage household affairs or sect businesses- but the Ice Palace was different. The manager of the sect was Sky class late phase peak, and there were two possibilities- one was the fact that there were just too many Sky class masters in the Ice Palace. The other was that this Sect Master was simply too young- but becoming Sky class late phase peek at this young an age was a bit too hard to manage in time for the elders- there hadnât been enough time to elect the next Sect Master at all!
After all, not just anyone could become the Sect Master- one had to be raised for this. This person had to have the ability to manage the entire Ice Palace!
It wasnât known just which the Ice Palace Sect belonged to, but looking at the Sect Master herself, she was more than young- she was especially pretty as well, striking contrast between Qing and her as they stood side by side. Qing looked less than twenty as well, but had a very common physical appearance- the Ice Palace Sect Master, on the other hand, really looked like her name and position, like a cold ice princess that was elegant and superior. One look would remain memorable in anyoneâs eyes.
Of course, among the practitioners, no one dared treat this Sect master with disrespect- even though she was a beautiful woman, only those with the qualifications dared to appreciate that beauty. For them, even taking one more look at this Sky class late phase peak sect master was too much!
Seeing the sect masterâs appearance, Lin Yi stood there, stunned- not because she was a beautiful girl, but because of her age! She really did seem like she was younger than twenty- at the very least, she wouldnât be older than twenty-five!
This was different from Qing- Lin Yi could accurately judge that the sect master didnât use any elixirs that preserved her youth- she really was just that young! Possibly, sheâd reached Sky class when she was less than twenty, and her appearance was preserved because of that!
âAunt Qing, maybe you should tell them, Iâm just here to take a lookâŠâ The sect master said as she put her eyes on the only female participant, Yang Qiqi. She couldnât help but feel a little disappointed. The girl did look quite cool, with a sort of cold demeanor, but she wasnât the one she was looking for! Her constitution wasnât suitable for practitioning the practitionerâs arts of the Ice Palace.
So, after making sure that Qiqi wouldnât work, she wasnât interested in staying much longer.
Aunt Qing?! Everyone there was even more shocked- Qing looked young enough as she was, but the sect master was calling her aunt- just how old was this sect master? Could she really be younger than twenty, just like her appearance?
Lin Yi wasnât too shocked there- heâd thought of that earlier, after all. That one âAunt Qingâ was just proof of his conjecture.
She was pretty much the same age as him. Lin Yi could only smile bitterly at the fact that she was Sky class late phase peak. They really werenât in the same world- fighting with the common houses, Lin Yi had a clear advantage- but when it came to hidden houses, using his talent for practitioning and his trump cards, he was basically tied with them. On the level of ancients, however⊠Lin Yi had nothing he could use against them. Ancient sects truly were a whole different world.
No wonder the old man back home said that ancient sects were beyond his grasp- it seemed like Lin Yi was on his own here!
But he didnât give up. Though he was clearly much weaker than these guys in terms of battle power, judging by his practitioning speed these few months, that monster Naipao was pretty much the only one who could match him. Who else could jump so many levels in just a couple of months?
When the Ice Palace sect master finished speaking, she turned and floated away. Qing knew her personality, so she didnât mind.
The sect master had grown up in the sect since her youth and had become the isolated disciple of the old elder, destined to be the next sect master. Her childhood then was a lonely one. She had no friends and o people to play with- all she knew was just practitioning. It was why her personality became so cold.
âAs such, I will be announcing the test rules and rewards!â Qing said as she eyed the audience. âPractitioners arenât allowed to drive- with me leading; we will walk to the ice mountain on foot. During the test, spirit beasts can be used- but these beasts must not be over Mystic late phase peak, or the participant will lose his participation rights. Followers and servants can be brought as well, but they must not be over Golden class, and the followers and servants must not participate themselves. They are not allowed to fight, and they are not allowed to hurt the followers and servants of other participants! Attacking spirit beasts is permitted, but taking them is not allowed!â
These rules were there since the last tests, so the participants just nodded. Spirit beasts werenât owned by too many families- plus, if they werenât strong enough, theyâd just be baggage. As for followers and servants, no one would bring any- they werenât young masters or young misses, and didnât need servants following them around.
In actuality, these rules were targeted towards the old tests- if someone were to get killed in the test, the servants and followers would be able to bring the corpse back home. But this fact alone made the accompaniment of servants during the test a rather negative prospect- nobody brought any because of that.
Plus, the rules were changed- they couldnât kill anymore, so the servants were even less necessary.
âIf there are no disagreements, Iâll announce the rewards. In the test, the top three scoring participants will receive bonus rewards from the Ice Palace. The right to choose between the treasures and elixirs gathered during the test!â Qing said. âThe top ten scoring participants would have the right to become outer disciples of the Ice Palace sect, or receive one exchange right for treasures of the sect! Any questions?â
âNoâŠâ The crowd shook their heads- they already knew about this from the letters, so there werenât questions. They were all aiming to become outer disciples, pretty much.
âAlright. All of you pack your things- we leave in one hour!â Qing nodded. âI will be waiting for you here!â
âYes!â The crowd nodded.
Not being allowed to drive wasnât much for Lin Yi, but what about Xiaoxiao?
Fortunately, this place was cold to the bone- even without that ice container, it should be fine for her. But how was he supposed to bring her?
From the looks of it, the best way was to tie her to his back using rope, but then heâd have to be especially careful in the test and avoid attacks from other people. Getting Xiaoxiao killed would be the end of that- he could have his revenge all he wanted, but itâd be too late for her.
