Chapter 5856
“Wan Jianxing… Wan Jianxing…”
the Palace Master murmured, repeating the name. Her delicate body swayed slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but those tears were instantly frozen by the extreme cold, turning into ice crystals that slid down her cheeks.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions, but her voice still trembled: “He… he’s still alive? He really… is still alive?”
“Yes, Senior Wan Jianxing is still alive, but he’s trapped and can’t escape,” David affirmed.
“Impossible!”
Xuanming suddenly interrupted, his tone filled with surprise and doubt. “Wan Jianxing violated the divine race’s prohibition, and… and…”
He glanced at the Palace Master, not daring to continue, “He should have been personally suppressed by the patriarch long ago, his soul and spirit destroyed! How could he still be alive? Boy, don’t talk nonsense and deceive the Palace Master!”
“I’m not lying.”
David met his gaze calmly. “Senior Wan Jianxing said it himself. He was cast into a void rift by the divine race’s patriarch with supreme divine power, imprisoned for eternity. If it weren’t for his extraordinary cultivation and special secret method protecting his soul, he would probably have perished long ago.”
The Palace Master closed her eyes, remaining silent for a long time.
When she opened her eyes again, the emotional storm in her eyes had subsided, returning to its previous coldness, but deep within that coldness lay an indescribable complexity.
“All of you, step back.”
She commanded Manshan, Xuanming, and the divine race warriors within the archway.
“Palace Master!”
Man Shan cried out anxiously, “This boy’s origins are unknown. He trespassed into the forbidden area and killed our warriors. He must not be let go! Moreover, his words may not be credible. The matter of Wan Jianxing is a taboo of the Divine Race…”
“I said, step back.”
The Palace Master’s voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Man Shan and Xuan Ming exchanged a glance, both seeing the resentment in each other’s eyes, but ultimately dared not disobey the Palace Master’s order, bowing and saying, “Yes.”
The two led the warriors within the archway and quickly retreated, disappearing into the depths of the palace. Only
David and the other two, alon

The Palace Master’s gaze fell on David again, this time not with scrutiny, but with a complex assessment.
She slowly spoke, “Your name is David?”
“Indeed.”
“You say Wan Jianxing is still alive, do you have any proof?” the Palace Master asked, her gaze fixed on David’s eyes.
David pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “When Senior Wan Jianxing passed on his swordsmanship to me, he left behind a wisp of his innate sword intent, instructing me to show it to a trustworthy person as proof.”
As he spoke, he forcefully channeled a faint trace of chaotic immortal power into the Dragon-Slaying Sword, simultaneously recalling the unique Daoist aura Wan Jianxing had imparted when teaching the swordsmanship. The
Dragon-Slaying Sword trembled slightly, and a wisp of extremely faint yet pure silver sword intent, containing the essence of severing all laws and roaming freely across heaven and earth, slowly rose from the sword.
This wisp of sword intent was very faint, almost dissipating at any moment, but the “flavor” it contained was unique!
The moment she saw this wisp of silver sword intent, the Palace Master’s delicate body trembled violently, she staggered back half a step, her face instantly turning ashen.
She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to touch that wisp of sword intent, but stopped just before touching it, as if afraid it was a fragile dream. It
really is him…it really is his sword intent…”
she murmured, her voice choked with emotion, “Thousands of years…I thought you had long ago…long ago…”
Two lines of clear tears finally slid uncontrollably down her cheeks, but before they could fall, they froze into glistening ice beads.
David sheathed his sword intent and waited quietly.
He could sense that there was probably a very deep connection between the Palace Master before him and Wan Jianxing.
After a long while, the Palace Master calmed down. She wiped away the ice tears on her face, regaining her cold expression, but the look in her eyes as she looked at David had softened considerably.
“This is not the place to talk. Come with me.”
She said, turning and walking towards the Northern Underworld Palace.
David glanced at Ling Shuang and the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord beside him, then at the Blood Soul Cold Pool in the distance, and hesitated, “Palace Master, my friend urgently needs the Thousand-Year Ice Soul Blood Lotus from the Blood Soul Cold Pool to save his life, I wonder…”
The Palace Master paused, then said without turning her head, “We’ll talk about the Blood Lotus later. Follow me first, I have something to ask you, and some things… I need to tell you.”
Her tone left no room for argument.
David was silent for a moment, then nodded to Ling Shuang and the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord, “Let’s follow.”
The three followed the Palace Master and stepped into the mysterious and majestic Northern Underworld Palace.
Passing through the tall archway, a completely different scene unfolded inside. On both sides of the wide ice crystal avenue stood various exquisite ice sculptures and ice crystal lamp pillars, emitting a soft glow.
The interior of the palace complex was intricate, with interconnected corridors and hanging ice waterfalls, as beautiful as a dreamlike fairyland, yet so silent that it made one’s heart uneasy.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered patrolling divine warriors. These warriors bowed respectfully to the Palace Master, but cast curious, wary, and even hostile glances at David and his companions. However, under the Palace Master’s imposing presence, no one dared to approach and question them.
Finally, the Palace Master led them to a relatively small but more exquisite side hall.
The hall was simply furnished, with only a few ice crystal chairs and an ice table. The walls were smooth as mirrors, reflecting their figures.
“Sit,”
the Palace Master gestured for David and his companions to sit, taking the main seat herself.
Once everyone was seated, the Palace Master’s gaze fell on David again, and she slowly spoke: “Now, tell me everything you know about Wan Jian Xing. Don’t leave anything out.”
David nodded and recounted in detail how he had mistakenly entered the void passage, encountered Wan Jian Xing, and received his inheritance and instructions, omitting only the matter of the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
The Palace Master listened quietly, her face expressionless, but her tightly clenched hands and slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner turmoil.
When she heard that Wan Jianxing had endured thousands of years of torment in the void passage, suffering the agony of spatial rifts day and night, yet still held onto hope and longed for his deceased loved ones, she finally couldn’t help but close her eyes, taking several deep breaths to barely suppress her surging emotions.
“Did he…did he say anything else about me?”
The Palace Master opened her eyes, a glimmer of hope in them.
David recalled for a moment, then shook his head, saying, “Senior Wan Jianxing didn’t mention a specific name, only that…if there’s an opportunity, help him find an old friend from the divine race, tell them he’s still alive, don’t seek revenge, just live well.”
David made up a story; he had long suspected that the Palace Master and Wan Jianxing were not a simple couple.
They might even be having an affair, or perhaps be lovers.
