Ye Luo was somewhat puzzled as to why the Ice Princess would reside here. This place was very far from the lake, essentially marking the edge of the Moonwater Tribe territory.
A princess living here is bound to face some dangers, isnât she?
However, as Ye Luo approached the base of the mountain, he immediately dismissed his previous thoughts.
The entire mountain peak was shrouded by several enormous formations.
Moreover, they were peerless killing arrays, and these formations had clearly existed for quite a long time. Their true wonder lay in fully utilizing the external environment.
Such formations were beyond Ye Luoâs skill to construct. Only array masters of the caliber of the Samo Three brothers could create them.
And this is not all. Around the mountain, squads of guards patrolled nearly without any blind spots.
For a princess, are these kinds of protective measures somewhat over the top?
Even compared to the protection at the Moonwater Palace, this was far superior.
"Young Master, come with me!"
Third Master took out a golden shimmering token, and upon encountering this token, an entrance appeared in the formations.
However, as Ye Luo passed through the great array, he distinctly felt several cold auras skimming past him.
Clearly, someone was probing into his background.
This indicated that on this mountain were experts similar to Third Master.
Soon, Ye Luo met the Third Princess.
She was naturally in the grand hall atop the mountain.
This grand hall at the mountaintop was much more lavish than that of the Moonwater Palace, fulfilling the true essence of a palace.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
As soon as Ye Luo entered, she approached him directly.
It was clear she was truly anxious, perhaps because of the contract between them!
"Iâm fine. As for your illness, itâs somewhat improved!" Ye Luo was also assessing her.
Upon hearing this, she smiled brightly, "Indeed, these past days have felt like a dream. That damned pain has finally eased a lot. Even if I only live these few days, I should be satisfied!"
These words brought Ye Luo a tinge of sadness. It seems her seemingly glamorous days as a princess were actually quite miserable.
"Rest assured, with me here, youâll be fine. Let me continue to treat you!"
Ye Luo then used acupuncture combined with healing law to adjust her condition.
However, with the imminent crisis, Ye Luo dared not excessively expend his healing law.
But after the treatment, the Third Princessâs state was indeed remarkable.
This resulted in the treatment being quite effective this time.
"Great, I can finally live like a normal person!"
Feeling her bodyâs condition, the Ice Princess was truly beaming with joy.
"By the way, why donât you live in the Moonwater Palace, but reside in such an out-of-the-way place!" Ye Luo suddenly asked.
Anyway, at this moment, only the two of them were present. Given their relationship, this wasnât exactly a secret.
"Ah, itâs a long story. Iâll tell you more when I have time. For now, youâve got quite a few troubles yourself. Since youâve provoked that Totem, he wonât let you off easily!"
Ye Luo was indifferent, "No worries, Third Master has already dispatched many guards. I believe those Emissaries wonât act rashly!"
The Ice Princess furrowed her brows, "You truly donât know?"
"Know what?" Ye Luo looked at her confusedly.
"Well, Third Master wouldnât have told you these things. The threat from the Totem isnât about the Emissaries; its strength far exceeds your imagination! Do you know why my body turned out like this?" she said quietly.
Ye Luo was instantly startled as he looked at her, "Could it be!"
The Ice Princess immediately gave a bitter smile, "Yes, but the matter is complex. I didnât intend to hide it, but itâs hard to say where to begin!"
Ye Luo nodded slightly; he wasnât overly interested in these matters.
"Then, how will the Totem confront us?"
"Well, I donât know much about the Totem either. I only know that back in those years, my mother was afflicted by the curseâs power, which led to us sisters being born with Dao injuries." she said with some resentment.
Ye Luo found this very puzzling. Her mother must have been the Clan Leaderâs Dao Companion; the Totem had no reason to target her.
However, the Ice Princess certainly wouldnât deceive him about this.
"So you must be careful and remain vigilant. Otherwise, you could stay here with me, and there should be no major issues!" she suddenly said.
Ye Luo understood that the Totemâs power might not be able to infiltrate here easily, but it would undoubtedly draw the attention of other powerful figures! The consequences might not be any better than provoking the Totem.
Moreover, when it comes to the curseâs power, Ye Luo might not be entirely helpless, he has quite a few trump cards!
Ye Luo dared not linger here too long. After chatting for a bit, he hurriedly left the palace.
And Third Master was waiting outside the palace. Without his escort, Ye Luo couldnât pass through these formations.
"Young Master, the Ice Princessâs condition!"
"Reporting to you, Senior, she is much better now, more than I expected. It seems there is hope for a full recovery!" Ye Luo laughed.
In fact, the Ice Princessâs condition wasnât as severe as he initially described; he had said so for future plans.
"Thatâs excellent!" Third Master was visibly excited.
"Young Master, you must still be careful of the Totemâs power. There are matters I canât speak much about! You know my identity is quite special! All I can do is this much!"
Ye Luo understood the meaning behind his words, albeit not realizing that the Ice Princess had already disclosed everything to him.
"Senior, I understand!"
After escorting him off the mountain, Third Master returned to the mountain, while Ye Luo went back to his Cave Mansion.
At this time, the several small formations in front of the Cave Mansion had already taken shape. Although incomparable to those great arrays on the mountain, they were quite exquisite.
At least when powerful beings arrived, Ye Luo could still sense them.
One and Five had even forgotten their cultivation, continuously watching the formations until Ye Luo appeared. Then they eagerly approached him.
"Young Master Ye, these formations are truly exquisite. With them and these guards, we are indeed foolproof!" Five excitedly said.
Ye Luo also smiled, though he understood internally that these two probably werenât aware of the Totemâs special power.
These few simple formations and those guards could not truly defend against the Totemâs threat.
But this was a big secret, and Ye Luo naturally wouldnât share it with them.
When night fell, these formations also began operating. They did consume some energy, although not much, mostly relying on the surrounding law power to operate independently.
