Chapter 119 The Arrogant Ice Emperor

Deep in the core area of the far north.

A majestic ice crystal palace rose from the ground, standing silently on the vast snowfield, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

This is the palace of the Snow Emperor.

Led by the two Ice and Snow Emperors, Su Mo stepped into the main hall.

Looking up, the Ice Crystal Palace has a high and wide dome, which is naturally formed and surrounded by ice.

At the far end of the hall, atop layers of ice steps, stood a crystal throne, and apart from that, there were no other furnishings in the hall.

Su Mo glanced around, then looked at Hyotei and calmly said, "Little Scorpion, come here for a moment."

Hyotei's aura instantly intensified, and he subconsciously took half a step back, coldly asking, "What do you want to do?"

Her eyes were full of vigilance and wariness.

She felt no goodwill towards Su Mo, who had injured her; instead, she felt a deep sense of resentment.

Having lived for so long, she had never suffered such a great loss. If she were strong enough, she would have frozen Su Mo into an ice sculpture and then blasted him into pieces.

"What, scared?" Su Mo smiled amusedly. "Weren't you quite the fighter outside just now?"

"You..." Hyotei trembled with rage, "Who's afraid of you? I just don't want to get close to someone like you!"

"Oh?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "What kind of person am I?"

"Hmph, of course he's a treacherous, cunning, despicable, and shameless person!" Hyotei said through gritted teeth.

"Alright." Su Mo shook his head helplessly. "If I really wanted to do something to you, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me right now?"

"I..." Hyotei wanted to retort, but swallowed the words back.

Because what Su Mo said was true.

Given the strength he displayed, if he truly harbored malicious intent, there would be no way I could have entered this palace alive.

But she just couldn't swallow her anger.

"What exactly do you want?" Hyotei asked coldly, his hostility undiminished.

Su Mo said calmly, "Haven't you noticed that a strange power has appeared within your body?"

What he was referring to was the Asura power that had remained within Hyotei's body during their previous encounter.

That force was domineering and fierce, able to invade the meridians through the wound, constantly eroding the foundation like a maggot clinging to the bone.

Although with Hyotei's cultivation level, he could clear it himself after some time.

However, if not treated in time, it may leave hidden damage or even damage the root cause, causing irreversible damage.

Su Mo had come here seeking help from Xue Di, and Bing Di was Xue Di's good friend, so he naturally had no intention of harming Bing Di.

"Of course I felt it, but wasn't it all thanks to you?" the Ice Emperor said coldly.

From the moment she was injured, a strange power entered her body through the wound, causing her soul power to stagnate and become sluggish.

She tried to erase it, but it was no use.

"That's why I asked you to come here, to clear that energy from your body."

Ice Emperor did not respond to Su Mo immediately, but turned to look at Snow Emperor with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Xue Di nodded slightly: "Go."

Throughout their journey, Xue Di had been secretly observing Su Mo.

She noticed that Su Mo remained calm and composed throughout.

Moreover, given the strength the opponent has displayed, if they truly wanted to harm Hyotei, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

Seeing this, Hyotei hesitated before slowly walking up to Su Mo, looking up at him, but her eyes still held a stubborn look of defiance.

"Raise your hand," Su Mo said.

Hyotei's injuries are mainly in her arms.

Hyotei hesitated for a moment, but still extended their hand.

Su Mo slowly raised his right hand, and his soul power quietly circulated around him.

Now, his control over the power of Asura is already superb, and he can control it at will.

A wisp of dark red energy, as thin as a gossamer thread, slowly detached from Hyotei's wound and swirled and twisted in the air.

It then disappeared into his palm and returned to him.

After a while.

"How do you feel?" Su Mo withdrew his hand, his tone indifferent.

Without the corrosive power of Asura, with Hyotei's profound foundation, it won't be long before he is completely healed.

Hyotei hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, "...Much more comfortable."

"That's fine."

Hyotei opened their mouths, as if they wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

This human was completely different from the one she remembered.

In Hyotei's view, humans have always been greedy and cunning.

But the person in front of her was clearly far stronger than her, yet he not only showed mercy before, but now he was also taking the initiative to resolve the potential dangers for her.

Su Mo glanced at her and smiled, "Say what you want to say."

Hyotei bit her lip, as if making a major decision, and after a long while, she finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Thanks……"

After saying that, she turned her face away.

She had lived for so many years and had never said such a thing to a human being.

She felt extremely awkward and wished she could disappear into the ground.

Wait a minute... Hyotei suddenly felt something was very wrong.

That was his fault, so why should I thank him?

At this moment, Su Mo chuckled and turned his gaze to Xue Di: "Can we get down to business now?"

Xue Di nodded gently: "Come with me."

Having said that, she turned and walked deeper into the palace.

Su Mo followed closely behind.

"Xue'er..." Hyotei called out hurriedly, his brows furrowed with worry.

The Snow Emperor was the person she cared about, but now she had to be alone with a powerful human man, which inevitably made her feel uneasy.

Xue Di paused, then turned around: "It's alright, I believe him."

Hyotei opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words.

Xue Di nodded slightly to Su Mo, and Su Mo followed.

Hyotei could only stand quietly in the main hall, watching the two figures gradually walk away until they disappeared into the depths.

After a long while, she let out a soft hum and began to circulate her soul power to heal her injuries.

In any case, she must get back to normal as soon as possible.

If that person dares to do anything improper to Xue Di, she will fight him to the death.

Although... that human didn't seem that bad.

But since it concerned Xue Di, she had to take it seriously.

The meditation room behind the palace.

Although this place is not as grand and spacious as the main hall, it is more serene and tranquil.

Inside was a huge ice bed, carved from a single block of ancient ice. It was square, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and a chilling aura surrounding it.

This is where Xue Di usually practices or rests.

Xue Di stopped in front of the ice bed and turned to look at Su Mo:

"That's just Bing'er's personality. Don't take her previous words to heart."

Su Mo shook his head slightly: "I didn't take it to heart."

He knew Hyotei's personality all too well; they were stubbornly proud and aloof, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

Upon hearing this, Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment's hesitation, she changed the subject:

Can I ask you a question?

"Please feel free to speak."

"The power you used before wasn't soul power, was it?"

Xue Di looked directly into Su Mo's eyes, a hint of inquiry flashing in them.

Su Mo nodded slightly: "It's alright to tell you. I am actually the successor of the gods. The power I used earlier was the divine power within me."

Xue Di's pupils suddenly contracted, and she stared at him blankly, her mind completely blank.

Is this human being actually the successor of a god?

Doesn't this mean that he could one day become a true god?

Suddenly, Xue Di's expression darkened.

Although human lifespans are not as long as those of soul beasts, humans have the opportunity to reach that legendary realm.
