Chapter 2999: The Martial Soul Lineage Gathers
Ancestor Lan, are you saying that these people who claim to support the Ice Goddess Hall and are willing to go through fire and water for the Ice Goddess Hall have organisations belonging to the Flame Reverend lurking among them?
Jian Chen asked.

That’s only my guess. I don’t have any actual, concrete evidence to prove this. However, if I were the Flame Reverend, then I’d definitely carry out some meticulous arrangements and preparations. After all, what he’s plotting for is very great. Just the slightest carelessness can doom him for good,
said ancestor Lan.

In other words, not only am I unable to ask for help from these people regarding the Snow sect, but I can’t even divulge this information.
Jian Chen was stern. Without seeking help from the other forces on the Ice Pole Plane, how was the Heavenly Crane clan supposed to contend against the Snow sect alone?
Since the Snow sect had captured Shui Yunlan, they would never release her so easily. As a result, the only way for him to save Shui Yunlan was through the most intense clash with the Snow sect.
He could even imagine already that the Snow sect would mobilise the force of their entire sect in this clash.
The Snow sect no longer had a way out of this anymore. From the moment they decided to capture Shui Yunlan, they had started opposing the Ice Goddess Hall. As a result, only a single path lay before the Snow sect, one without any chance of return.
Otherwise, once the Ice Goddess and the Snow Goddess returned, it was as clear as day what the Snow sect’s fate would be given their personalities.

I don’t know whether the Snow sect did this out of their own interests or if they’ve already taken the Flame Reverend’s side. If they did it out of their own interests, then that’s easier to deal with. They won’t divulge this news, and we will be the only people that know this secret apart from the Snow sect. Our opponent will only be the Snow sect too.


If the Snow sect has taken the Flame Reverend’s side, then the Snow sect is not all that we are up against. We’re also up against all the organisations that the Flame Reverend has developed on the Ice Pole Plane,
said ancestor Lan.

Looks like saving Shui Yunlan from the Snow sect is far more difficult than I’ve ever imagined it to be.
Jian Chen sighed. Ancestor Lan’s analysis had basically ended his thoughts of rallying together with the organisations of the Ice Pole Plane.
Once he gathered these organisations together, it would be impossible to tell who was friend or foe. These circumstances would be perfect for a stab in the back.
If they were powerful enough to crush everything in their path, then there was obviously no need for them to fear any schemes or plots, but they were clearly on the weaker side, so they had to be as careful as possible.

Don’t you have connections with the Empyrean Demon Cult? If you can rope in the Empyrean Demon Lord, then it’ll obviously be for the best.


Though, there is something I must make clear first. If you can’t find any other powerful assistance, just our Heavenly Crane clan stands no chance against the Snow sect. If there’s no hope at all, then our Heavenly Crane clan won’t take part either,
said ancestor Lan.

The Empyrean Demon Lord…
Jian Chen faltered. Back then in the Empyrean Demon Prison, he had heard Cheng Ming mention that the Empyrean Demon Lord was currently handling something extremely important and could not divert his attention. Looking for him at a time like this clearly would not result in anything.
However, he also understood that he had to find a supreme expert that could contend against the Icecloud Founding Ancestor of the Snow sect.
Jian Chen left the Heavenly Crane clan and hurried along using the Laws of Space, returning to the territory of the Hefeng clan with a few flashes.
He had returned the tablet that the grand elder had given him already, but that could not stop his advance through the Empyrean Demon Cult.
Very soon, Jian Chen met with the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult again on the top floor of the demonic castle.
The grand elder was amicable. He gazed at Jian Chen with a smile.
Jian Chen, have you come this time because of the Snow sect?


That’s correct. I have come because of the Snow sect. Grand elder, do you know if you can contact the Empyrean Demon Lord?
Jian Chen was anxious. He clearly knew the Empyrean Demon Lord was caught up in an important matter, yet he still came back and asked for him without hesitation. He felt utterly helpless about this, and it also caused him a deep sense of shame.
However, this had to do with his sister’s fate. For the sake of his sister’s safety, he had to do it even if it was humiliating.


If I really can’t find powerful reinforcements, then I’ll have to fuse the twin swords and throw my life on the line.
 
Jian Chen had already prepared himself for the worst. He was far more powerful than he had ever been in the past right now, and the sword spirits had been constantly recovering too.
If he fused the swords in his current state, the might would obviously be even greater than before.

Hehe, I obviously can contact master. Actually, soon after you left, I told master about this already, which obviously included the Snow sect.
The grand elder chuckled.

Then what did senior say?
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately held his breath.

Master is indeed caught up in something extremely important, but he told me to tell you that if you encounter any danger from the Snow sect, you can go and find the Martial Soul lineage,
said the grand elder.

The Martial Soul lineage? How is the Martial Soul lineage supposed to contend against a colossal existence like the Snow sect given their strength?
Jian Chen frowned. He could not be any more familiar with the Martial Soul lineage’s strength. Let alone the Snow sect that possessed an expert on par with a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, even dealing with a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime would take all of the Martial Soul lineage’s efforts.
The difference between the Fourth and Seventh Heavenly Layers could be described as a tremendous gulf.

Since that’s what master said, he obviously has his reasons. Jian Chen, you need to believe in master.
Cheng Ming smiled faintly. In his heart, he possessed almost blind faith and admiration towards his master.

Thank you, grand elder!
Jian Chen clasped his fist and thanked him before immediately leaving the Empyrean Demon Cult.
Upon leaving the vicinity of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Jian Chen rushed into outer space. He sped through the stars with the Laws of Space before finally stopping in a region that was extremely distant from the Ice Pole Plane. Afterwards, he used a secret technique of the Martial Soul lineage to summon the mountain soul of the Martial Soul Mountain.
In just a few seconds, a colossal ripple of energy suddenly appeared in the space there. The figure of a huge mountain suddenly appeared in the empty space, rapidly consolidating with time.
In less than half a minute, the mountain soul of the Martial Soul Mountain had crossed a tremendous distance and descended beside Jian Chen.
Immediately, a colossal pressure radiated out in a blanketing fashion, sweeping through the stars.
Fortunately, they were extremely distant from the Ice Pole Plane, or the appearance of the mountain soul probably would have alarmed countless experts.

Eighth junior brother!

The fifth senior sister Su Qi’s voice rang out from the mountain soul. Right beside her, the first senior brother Hun Zang, the second senior brother Chu Jian, the third senior brother Yue Chao, the fourth senior brother Yun Ziting, the sixth senior brother Bai Rufeng, and the seventh senior brother Qing Shan were all present.
Including Jian Chen, the eight successors of the Martial Soul lineage had all assembled together.

Eighth junior brother, what’re you still standing there for? Get on the mountain soul.
Seeing how Jian Chen just stood there dumbly, Su Qi spoke again.
