The Icy Spirit had refused the sacred prince in a tough manner the day before, without leaving him any room for negotiation. If the Blood Shadow Dynasty did not do anything about that, they would not have been the rulers of the Spirits, and neither would they have had the power to subdue the Eight Spirit Clans.
Out of the Ice Palace, the dynastyâs armies coming from the left and the right side were endless. Even the snowfield was partitioned.
Jiang Chen noticed that the Icy Spirit had not put up any defenses. There were no other soldiers except the royal guard, which did not have many soldiers.
âThe Icy Spirit deceived the Sacred Emperor and insulted the dynasty. Itâs an unforgivable crime.â
âToday, if Icy Spirit doesnât give us a satisfactory explanation, the thousands of miles of snowfield here will be reddened by your blood!â
Two generals shouted out threats in profound voices. They sounded like thunder. The Icy Spirit King flew out of the palace, followed by the Cloud Guardian, the Guard General, and others.
âThe dynasty is the dominator of the Spirit. The Icy Spirit has no intention of offending you,â the Icy Spirit King said, as coldly as always.
âItâs not what you told me yesterday!â The sacred prince walked out of the army, holding the same spear he had used the day before. Wearing a golden armor and having a coat draped over his shoulders, he looked extremely brave and majestic.
âThousands of clans obey the dynasty because the dynasty is strong enough to protect the Spirit.â The Icy Spirit King said, âBut we wonât allow any prince to marry one of our Spiritual Ladies in such a casual way. The dynasty told us to do so and the Icy Spirit collaborated with you, but Xueâer would rather die than agree to the marriage. Besides, Jiang Chen came to propose marriage to her....â
âJiang Chen? Huh! Jiang Chen, get out here. Are you scared of my military power?â
Irritated at the mention of Jiang Chen, the sacred prince shouted angrily at the Ice Palace.
âYou are retarded. Go back and drink your motherâs milk.â Flying into the air, Jiang Chen was fearless facing the legion formed by thousands of soldiers.
âHow dare you! How dare you disrespect the prince!â The two generals stared at him in anger. The energy they gave off was overwhelming.
âHe is the prince of the Spirit. Anything to do with me? Are you Spirits so used to being arrogant that you really believe you are the human beingsâ masters?â Jiang Chen said with a cold smile.
Boom!
What he said started a great disturbance. The army was irritated. They used a spiritual image to launch an attack. They had so many people, and it was an army that had killed many people. Their spiritual image attack was powerful enough to destroy the world.
A scarlet giant animal appeared in the air, dashing toward Jiang Chen.
âWoooo!â Jiang Chen growled before the spiritual image could approach him. An invisible energy wave spread. It did not only smash the spiritual image, but also drove the orderly army into chaos.
âJiang Chen, you!â The sacred prince suddenly screamed. Standing behind two generals, he should be very safe. However, it happened so fast that the generals did not come to themselves in time. In the end, people saw Jiang Chen seizing the sacred prince by the throat. Although he did not make too much effort, in the status of God of Fire Descends to the World, he still caused the sacred prince lots of pain.
âListen up, Blood Shadow Dynasty. Stop assuming the majesty of the tiger. You have no control over me. Neither can you control me. Now since Iâm going to marry an Icy Spirit, the Icy Spirit wonât fight with you alone.â What he said reminded people of who he was. He was the Martial Sovereignâs follower, not some average human.
âLet go of the sacred prince!â The two generals said anxiously.
âAnyway, I already killed two of your Spiritual Sons. I donât mind killing another,â Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.
By then even the Icy Spirit was not sure what Jiang Chen would do. This man was mad. He might really do it.
âJiang Chen...if youâre strong enough, donât...donât turn to any external force!â Flushing, the sacred prince said in the end.
âHa, ha. What did you just say? You said I was scared of your military power, but you were shouting hiding behind the army? Now you are accusing me of using external force?â
Jiang Chen could not help but burst out laughing. This sacred prince was really an immature kid. He was using more and more strength. The sacred princeâs neck cracked due to the heavy burden, as if it would be broken any time.
As pale as ghosts, the two generals did not dare approach Jiang Chen.
âJiang Chen, donât act on impulse.â The Icy Spirit King said at this moment.
Jiang Chen stopped adding more strength. He hesitated for four or five seconds before he let go of the sacred prince. Then he returned to where he had been.
âSacred prince!âThe generals hurried to come up to the sacred prince to check his situation.
âKill...kill all of them!â The sacred princeâs eyes were bloodshot. Waving his arms, he ordered the army to slaughter the Icy Spirit.
âIcy Spirit, is this the explanation you gave us?!â One of the generals growled in anger. The legion of thousands of soldiers raised their arms to cheer, shattering the frozen snow to pieces.
âThe Icy Spirit never agreed to the dynastyâs proposal. We only said we would try our best to collaborate. Now Xueâer would rather die than agree to the marriage. And the follower of the Martial Sovereign came to propose to her too. If the dynasty still insists that we give Xueâer to you, itâll be nothing else than trampling on the Icy Spiritâs dignity,â the Icy Spirit King said in a tough manner.
As soon as he finished speaking, one figure after another appeared from the snow mountain out of the Ice Palace. They were all warriors with strong energies.
âItâs Thick Ice Army! Is this a declaration of war?â
These Icy Spirit warriors did not look like living creatures at all. Their skin was crystal clear. Their armor was also made of thick ice.
All of them were Venerables. There must have been tens of thousands of them. They spread across the mountains and surrounded the two armies of the Blood Shadow Dynasty.
âIcy Spirit King!â The two generals were both angry and shocked. In their eyes, the Icy Spirit was too audacious.
âIf you want the Icy Spirit to send a dead body to the Blood Shadow Dynasty, where is the position of the Eight Spirit Clans? The dynasty is pushing us too far.â The Icy Spirit King suddenly sounded very stern.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs me who proposed. If you want to fight, Iâll fight with you!â Jiang Chen said proudly.
In an instant, no one responded. The air was charged with tension. Swords and bows were ready. A battle was on the verge of breaking out.
âThe Icy Spirit King seems very resolute.â
In the crucial moment, a giant figure landed between the two parties.
âRoyal uncle!â The sacred prince shouted emotionally.
It was the Blood Shadow Royal Uncle indeed, who had had grudges with Jiang Chen in the past.
âItâs not the Icy Spirit who are resolute. Weâve tried everything. However, the dynasty still insists on the marriage. Isnât it the same as robbery?â The Icy Spirit King said.
âYou Icy Spirit are impotent. You canât even change a Spiritual Ladyâs mind. Thatâs all I can say.â The Blood Shadow Royal Uncle was very direct. It was also very arrogant of him to say this in the presence of the Icy Spirit King.
âSend your Thick Ice Army back. What we have here is only the vanguard. We have troops of 100,000 soldiers waiting outside your Spirit Territory. They are perfectly ready. Theyâll land on the Ice Palace anytime,â the Blood Shadow Royal Uncle said.
The Icy Spirit became very anxious.
âJiang Chen is the Martial Sovereignâs follower. He is also the Invincible God of War. If you had turned to any average human, it would be an insult to the dynasty.â The Blood Shadow Royal Uncle added. He sounded like they had given up their initial intention.
âSince you, Icy Spirit, went back on your word first, weâll call the whole thing off if you give us that immortal elixir as compensation.â
The Blood Shadow Royal Uncle kept speaking, as if it was a one-man show. He did not leave the Icy Spirit any room for negotiation.
âBesides, Jiang Chen must get married with your Spiritual Lady tonight to prove this wasnât an excuse to refuse us.â
