Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Outside Ice Crystal Lake.

The fog hung thick and heavy.

At this moment.

There were seven or eight Cultivators standing there, smugly.

Each of these seven or eight people had an incomparably vast aura; their cultivation had even reached the level of a Half-Step Earth Immortal. Compared to Yu Zhenhai from that day, they were only stronger, not weaker!

Just a single Half-Step Earth Immortal was enough to sweep across any place in the Extreme North Region, let alone when all of them appeared here together. And right now, they were examining Tang Mei’Er with mocking eyes.

Tang Mei’Er held her sword, her body trembling nonstop, her face deathly pale. Blood had already formed a river beneath her feet; the dozens of Tang Family Death Warriors following her had been almost completely slaughtered in a single exchange by these people!

”We have no grudge with you. Why are you suddenly attacking us?”

”You’re Tang Mei’Er?” One of them, an old man in a blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back. He didn’t answer, but instead asked with a half-smile, ”The daughter of Tang Yue of the Tang Family in Extreme Wilderness City?”

”That’s right!”

Tang Mei’Er forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart and said, ”I don’t care who you are. Since you know my identity, you’d better withdraw at once. Otherwise, my family, my sect, will never let you go!”

”Haha!”

As her words fell.

The few Half-Step Earth Immortals reacted as if they had just heard the greatest joke in the world, and that blue-robed elder leading them laughed as he shook his head. ”Little girl, you want to use the Tang Family to scare us? Aren’t you afraid that if we get angry, we’ll just flatten Extreme Wilderness City while we’re at it?”

”Your sect behind you might be powerful, but if we kill you here, who among them will ever know? Every year, the number of people who die in Ice Crystal Lake is not small!”

”If we didn’t know your identity, how would we have made a move on you?”

Hearing this, Tang Mei’Er’s face instantly turned pale.

She had never imagined that this group had long since investigated her identity so thoroughly. In front of them, she was practically like a lamb stripped completely bare!

”Who exactly are you people?”

Facing their mocking gazes, Tang Mei’Er steeled herself and asked.

”I am Luo Xiang!” The blue-robed elder said, hands clasped behind his back.

Luo Xiang?

Tang Mei’Er’s body trembled; her face instantly turned even paler.

The Luo Family of Ice City!

This was a great clan in the Extreme North Region that had inherited its legacy for thousands of years; even within the entire Extreme North, it was counted as a famed existence. Compared to such a thousand-year-old clan, her Tang Family was nothing more than a small fish, a minor shrimp.

And the reason the Luo Family was this powerful was precisely because their clan had an Earth Immortal Ancestor!

”Earth Immortal Ancestor?” A bolt of lightning seemed to flash through Tang Mei’Er’s mind; she suddenly widened her eyes, as though she had just understood something. ”So the Earth Immortal who attacked Mr. Ye back then in the Earth Immortal Tomb was your Luo Family Ancestor, Luo Yunfei!”

”Correct!”

Luo Xiang looked Tang Mei’Er up and down, his face full of mockery. ”I didn’t expect you to be able to guess it out. To tell you the truth, we suspect Ye Qingchen didn’t die and is hiding in Ice Crystal Lake, so we can only capture you to force him out!”

”Are you going to obediently surrender, or will you make this old man act?”

”Mr. Ye isn’t dead?”

Tang Mei’Er’s face lit up at the first half of his words. But the second half made her pupils involuntarily contract. ”You want to use me to threaten Mr. Ye? You’re nothing but dreamers!”

Boom!

She didn’t hesitate for even half a breath.

Tang Mei’Er clenched her jaw; all of her cultivation, without the slightest restraint, erupted forth.

Rolling, icy cold True Qi instantly transformed into a noble and magnificent Ice Phoenix, spreading its wings and soaring as it blasted straight toward Luo Xiang!

”A dying struggle!”

Seeing this.

Luo Xiang let out a cold laugh and casually flicked his finger.

”Bang!”

A surging finger of Power shot out ferociously, making the void shriek sharply. That Ice Phoenix was shattered almost in an instant, exploding apart on the spot and vanishing into nothingness.

”Pfft!”

Almost the moment the Ice Phoenix shattered, Tang Mei’Er suffered a backlash of her own strength and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot. The subsequent exploding Powerful Qi then slammed savagely into her body.

Thud!

How terrifying was the strength of a Half-Step Earth Immortal?

Even though Luo Xiang had reined in his Power, afraid of directly blasting Tang Mei’Er to death, under this violent might she still felt as though struck by lightning and was sent hurtling away. Her body smashed through an ice mountain tens of meters high, then skidded madly across the ground, carving out a trench hundreds of zhang long before finally coming to a halt.

”She actually dared to resist?”

”Haha, a Human Immortal Sixth Layer dares to delusionally strike at a Half-Step Earth Immortal?”

”These juniors nowadays are truly too arrogant!”

Seeing Tang Mei’Er lying on the ground and unable to get up, the other people present all burst into wild laughter. One of them, his face full of ridicule, said, ”Luo Xiang, don’t you go and kill her. We still need to use her to force Ye Qingchen out!”

”Heh, just a junior, fine.” Luo Xiang gave a cold laugh, his big hand slowly stretching forward in a grabbing motion.

Rumble!

The void seemed to boom with thunder; between heaven and earth, surging power gathered, forming a gigantic palm that, under Tang Mei’Er’s terrified gaze, closed around her and grasped her in its center.

”Little girl, I’ve had my eye on you for many days already!” Luo Xiang sneered. ”You’ve been coming to the front of Ice Crystal Lake every day to inquire after Ye Qingchen. You must have quite the relationship with him!”

”Speak. Where exactly is Ye Qingchen right now?”

As he spoke.

Luo Xiang began slowly tightening his five fingers.

Crack, crack!

A terrifying force poured madly into Tang Mei’Er’s body at that moment. The bones all over her body made crackling sounds, as if they might shatter at any time!

”I don’t know!” Blood kept spilling from the corner of Tang Mei’Er’s mouth, but her expression was still cold and unafraid. ”Even if I did know, I would never tell you!”

”It seems that if I don’t give you a bit of color, you really won’t understand my methods!”

Luo Xiang’s expression chilled as his five fingers tightened again.

In fact.

This crushing force made Tang Mei’Er feel as if her internal organs were all splitting apart.

”Ye Qingchen!”

Luo Xiang’s gaze turned gloomy and cold as he suddenly shouted in a deep voice. ”Your woman is in my hands. If you don’t want her to die in my grasp, then get out here, now!”

His voice rolled like thunder, surging and sweeping out, making the air all around tremble. The icy mist outside Ice Crystal Lake seemed to be heaving like an enraged tide, ripples spreading out in all directions…

Yet at this moment, in all directions, it was still deathly silent.

Tang Mei’Er stared at the churning cold mist over Ice Crystal Lake, her heart torn between not wanting Ye Qingchen to appear and hoping he would appear… her emotions were tangled to the extreme.

”Looks like that brat really intends to play dead to the end!” Luo Xiang snorted coldly. ”Even in this situation he still doesn’t show himself? And they say he’s some Heaven’s Chosen from Taotian Palace? He’s nothing but a turtle hiding in its shell!”

The others also wore faces full of ridicule.

”Heh, even if that brat Ye Qingchen is still alive, when he sees a lineup like ours, how would he dare to come out?” A Half-Step Earth Immortal said with a cold grin. ”Seems he plans to hide in Ice Crystal Lake for the rest of his life!”

Luo Xiang shook his head at this, ready to directly make his move and completely kill Tang Mei’Er. While the others were either sneering, or disdainful, or mocking, and even as Tang Mei’Er herself had sunk into complete despair—

Suddenly.

A voice quietly drifted out from within Ice Crystal Lake:

”Is that so?”
