“Trying to disgrace yourself with these paltry tricks?” Yao Zhuo sneered, reaching out to catch the bead with his hand and trying to crush it, all while ridiculing Yang Kai’s futile efforts.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically as a terrifying force burst from his palm. This force was so great that even a Second-Order Emperor Realm cultivator like him was shocked.

“An Emperor Authority Bead!?” Yao Zhuo was an experienced man and immediately realized that the bead Yang Kai threw at him wasn’t an ordinary one. It was an Emperor Authority Bead!

As the bone-piercing cold covered his body, Yao Zhuo trembled and both his arms and legs felt frozen stiff.

Amidst violent bursts of energy, a beautiful illusory phantom appeared in front of Yao Zhuo.

Seeing this illusory phantom, all the Masters from Ice Heart Valley were dumbfounded and their beautiful eyes were fixated on it as their tender bodies trembled.

“Master…” An Ruo Yun’s offensive had already lost its strength as she stared in a daze at that face she hadn’t seen in three thousand years. She found it impossible to suppress her excitement.

Sun Yun Xiu, Zhang Sun Yin, and the others were in the same state. All of their momentum was gone and they fell to the ground one after another as they looked at the illusory phantom, continuously calling out their Master’s name.

“Bing Yun!” On the other hand, Yao Zhuo seemed to have seen a ghost in broad daylight and stared at the phantom with palpable fear. Thousands of years ago, he had also met Bing Yun, so he immediately recognized her. It seemed that the one who had created this Emperor Authority Bead was none other than Bing Yun.

A low voice echoed at that moment, and although the sound was light, it spread across all of Ice Heart Valley, shaking every person who heard it to the core.

“Pear Flower Ice Snow Sword!”

Along with the sound, a longsword made of pure energy materialized in the hands of the illusory phantom. The pure-white sword shook and locked onto Yao Zhuo’s vitals, shooting out like a dragon.

Yao Zhuo’s face paled and he roared as he summoned a halberd, mobilizing all of his energy to protect himself.

A series of clanking sounds echoed, Emperor Pressure collided and spread everywhere, and World Principles shattered.

In less than ten breaths, Yao Zhuo was forced to his knees after retreating several hundred meters, gasping for his breath. Bing Yun’s illusory phantom put away its sword, and just as if it had spirituality, it turned its head and looked at An Ruo Yun and the others before it started to dissipate, turning into dots of light and disappearing without a trace.

Yang Kai opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He’d used an Emperor Authority Bead in the past. Back when he used the Flowing Time Great Emperor’s Emperor Authority Bead, the Four Seasons Principles had spread everywhere, allowing him to comprehend the Heavenly Way and Martial Dao under the effects of the Flowing Time Force. This was what allowed him to break through to the Third-Order Dao Source Realm.

Yet, the difference in power between this time and the previous one was huge.

Although Bing Yun’s usage of the sword was extraordinary, her Sword Intent unparalleled, and her Divine Ability excellent, it was still vastly inferior when compared to Flowing Time Great Emperor’s Emperor Authority Bead.

Moreover, it lasted only ten breaths of time before disappearing.

Was this the difference between an ordinary Emperor Realm Master and a Great Emperor? However, both of them should have been Third-Order Emperor Realm Masters when they created their Emperor Authority Beads! Theoretically speaking, they should have about the same level of power.

Yang Kai began to check the scene. Although Yao Zhuo was embarrassed due to the attack, there was no trace of injury on him, so Yang Kai could not help but wonder what happened.

Just as Yang Kai was pondering this though, Yao Zhuo’s face suddenly turned pale and he let out a snort. Immediately after, every inch of his body was covered in frost as pear flower shaped ice blossoms suddenly began to sprout all over him.

These ice flowers were as white as snow, decorating Yao Zhuo’s shoulders, waist, abdomen, arms, and legs. It was as if Yao Zhuo had picked up numerous ice flowers and inserted them into his body.

When these ice flowers started appearing, Yao Zhuo felt his whole body was frozen in place and he could not help but tremble violently as his lips turned blue from the cold.

“Martial Uncle!” Feng Xi was shocked and shouted in a panic.

Yao Zhuo could not even utter a word due to the cold, his whole body encased by the Ice Principles, and it took him a long time before he could manage to let out a scream. With the circulation of his Emperor Qi, he shattered the ice flowers covering his body and slowly restored his freedom.

However, his whole body seemed to be on the edge of falling apart, with a mouthful of blood periodically spewing out. It was clear he had suffered an extremely serious injury.

Feng Xi quickly stepped forward to help.

“Valley Master An, Elder Sun, is this what your Ice Heart Valley calls hospitality?” Yao Zhuo gathered his strength and gritted his teeth while calling out to An Ruo Yun and Sun Yun Xiu.

An Ruo Yun wrinkled her brows as she coldly stated, “If you were a guest, Ice Heart Valley would definitely treat you with care!”

She was implying that Yao Zhuo and Feng Xi were not guests of Ice Heart Valley.

When Yao Zhuo heard this, he became livid and almost spat out blood again. Grinding his teeth, he declared, “In two days, Xi’er and your noble Sect’s Zi Yu will be married. You and I will also then be considered family. Valley Master An, must you be this rude?”

“Zi Yu is the disciple of this Queen. Without this Queen’s consent, she will marry no one!” An Ruo Yun coldly snorted.

During Yao Zhuo’s stay, he had never seen An Ruo Yun take on such a strong stance. He thought of this woman as docile and weak; however, today, she seemed like a completely different person.

Yao Zhuo naturally knew the reason for this change; it was obviously because there was news of Bing Yun still being alive. He sneered in his heart, [What a shameless woman. She only dares to display such a strong attitude because she finally got some backing.]

Yao Zhuo continued, “The marriage has already been agreed upon by your noble Sect’s Great Elder. If I were to mention how you are acting to the other great Sects in the Northern Territory, that Valley Master An has objected to something already
