Chapitre 106: The Seven Ancient Clans
Flame of Endless Frost
"What's happening?" Inside the grand halls of an Ancient Mansion, an Old Man in Purple robes opened his eyes. His hair was also glowing with a soft purple colour.
He didn't look like any different from a normal person, yet his eyes gave any feeling but ordinary.
Soundlessly he vanished from the room and appeared high in the clouds.
Looking at the endless Icy blue hue in the sky, he squinted his eyes and said to thin air as if there was someone listening there "What do you think?"
However, the next second, a thin old man appeared next to him. His eyes resembled a snake's and gave off the feeling of a snake.
Though he looked like a pile of bones who could be blown away by the wind, the aura he exuded was enough to make the Four Sects of the Red Star Continent tremble!
With a light chuckle, the thin old man squinted his eyes "Old Li, there are be only two possibilities."
A curious expression appeared on the Old Man in purple; called Old Li, as he asked "What is it, thin fellow?" He laughed merrily.
The thin Old Man smacked his lips and pointed into the distance "The same that you guessed. The Imperishable Tree recognised an Owner and so did this Realm.
Or—"
"The mystery in Lake of Frozen Tears is unveiled." A charming voice cut him off as an Old woman appeared in the air with an enigmatic smile on her face.
Though her face aged and no longer held the charisma that it once did, looking at her facial features, one couldn't help but admit the fact that she should have been a great beauty in her prime.
"Oh, I though the Charm Fox Clan would not be interested in this phenomenon." An arrogant laughter resounded as an Old Man wearing green robes and an eagle nose appeared in the thin air.
"Tsk. Your Snow Eagle Clan meddles in every affair of the Empire." The Old woman mercilessly cut him off and looked at the thin air.
"Are you not going to show yourself?" she sneered.
"Hahaha."
"Old Woman Lu Li is as fierce as ever."
"Indeed."
With a roaring laughter, three old men appeared.
The Old Woman, Lu Li, looked at the three Old man and her lips twitched.
"You three, you never change."
An Old Man had a bulky physique and was over 2 meters tall.
The other wore white robes and had a sharp expression.
Finally, the last one had a playful smile on his face and had a muscular built.
"Alright. Since we, the Chiefs of the Seven Ancient Clans have gathered, without further ado, discuss the solution." Old Li spoke with a deep voice.
The Old Man with an eagle nose squinted his eyes lightly before his eyes turned normal.
"Since everyone Knows what happened. Do you think we should accept the master of the Imperishable as the master of the Empire?" The Old Man with a sharp expression said clenching his fist.
The Seven Chiefs looked at each other and could see the reluctance in each other's eyes. The first to speak was the Thin Old Man.
"How can that be? We, Thousand Python Clan will never submit. I disagree."
Following him, the tall Old Man continued "My Raging Bear Clan will not agree either."
"Same with Diamond Ape."
"and Snow Eagle!"
The Old Man in purple looked at them and sighed "So no one agrees. Then my Dragon Wolf Clan will also not agree."
"Then if there is indeed someone from humans who became the master of Imperishable Tree, we will request our guardian, Lord Imperishable Garuda to take care of this.
Moving on, what if the phenomenon is caused by the Lake of Frozen Tears?"
Several gasps could be heard as the Old Woman, Lu Li, retorted "Hey Old Li, that is just an option. No one has been able to enter the vicinity of that Lake.
Even if we used our cultivation bases, the moment we enter the lake, we will be frozen without resistance.
Didn't ancestors of our clans try entering the Lake? What was their fate?"
The Old Man in purple sighed deeply and said "We need to be prepared. Just because we can't do it doesn't mean no one can."
"First find them, then let's explore secret they uncovered." The thin Old Man licked his lips.
"To enter the lake, they must have some sort of secret. Hehe." The Old man with eagle nose chuckled.
The rest agreed.
'Didn't our Ancestors teach us not to become like humans?' The Old Man in purple sighed. "Alright. We'll send the Sky Realm soldiers."
"What? Send Emperor Realm Experts!" The tall man bellowed.
"We can't. Though the humans entered the Beast Empire, as long as they don't trespass the Palace, we have to abide by the agreement—No one from the Older generation will interfere with humans."
"You are crazy, Old Li." Eagle-nosed Old Man yelled.
"No. We need to uphold our promise. If not, what is the difference between us Profound beasts and humans? Do you not respect the Ancestral Law anymore?" The Old Man in purple said in a deep voice looking at the rest of the chiefs.
His body emitted a dragon aura mixed with a wolf's and brought a tremendous pressure to everyone.
"Fine. We respect our Ancestors." The Man with muscular body nodded.
The rest followed and the Old Man with eagle nose had no choice.
"Then we will dispatch the young ones who are still eligible and in Sky Realm." His tone held no question for protest.
Everyone nodded and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Soon, two batches of profound beasts left the Walls of the Beast Empire. One headed to the Imperishable Tree while the other headed to the Lake of Frozen Tears.
At the bottom of the lake, a bright light flashed blinding everything.
The Frozen Lake shook as a figure appeared above it.
