Murphy and Little Pomelo were evidently flustered as they watched the Ice Snow Clan’s boys ruthlessly attack each other again.
“It seems that the culture of the people here is a bit rough,” Murphy said in astonishment.
Little Pomelo nodded unconsciously, agreeing with his words.
However, since they had discovered the Ice Snow Clan, they did not plan to leave empty-handed. They waited patiently for their bloody fistfight to end, so that they could ask them about the Cursed Clan and find out if they have any information about them.
Alas, the rowdy battle lasted exactly half an hour. If it were not for their healing potions, the two of them would have collapsed and perished in the freezing temperature.
After finishing their scuffle, the group of young boys appeared in front of them again.
“Foreigners, I will bring you to meet our Ice Elder, follow us,” the taller child said, acting like a leader.
“Thud!”
Suddenly, a swift kick whipped across the air and kicked the tall boy sprawling on the ground.
“I think we should bring them to the Snow Elder instead…”
Before the attacker could finish speaking, he was instantly pinned onto the snowy ground by another boy, who unleashed a barrage of punches at the former’s face, yelling…
“Ice Elder! Ice Elder!”
Another person behind him grabbed the puncher’s head and began crushing its skull, screaming…
“Snow Elder! Snow Elder!”
Both Murphy and Little Pomelo were extremely flabbergasted and could not utter a word.
Yet again, a noisy scuffle broke out between them.
The scene of them endlessly thrashing and pummeling each other over minor verbal disputes completely amazed and confounded Murphy and Little Pomelo.
Even though the young boys from the Ice Snow Clan did not unleash their element manipulation abilities, the pure strength from their bare fists was terrifyingly powerful. Resounding thumps reverberated through the air as they jabbed and slammed at one another with monstrous force. At a glance, they did not seem to be playing. Rather, the fight was so intense that they seemed to be out for blood.
The brawl went on for another half an hour. After they felt that they had had enough, they stopped attacking each other and appeared in front of Murphy and Little Pomelo again.
However, Murphy hastily made a suggestion before any of them could open their mouths.
“My fellow clansmen, we will see the Ice Elder first. Then, we will meet the Snow Elder after that. Is that alright?”
Murphy had to take the lead. Otherwise, the Ice Snow Clan’s boys would quarrel and strike each other again.
“Alright,” some of the young boys seemed slightly disappointed.
With the boys leading ahead, the two of them began venturing deeper into the Arctic Abyss.
However, the subzero temperature plummeted drastically as they continued their journey into the freezing abyss. Only when they saw the blurry visage of the Ice Snow Palace in a distance away, they could let out a sigh of relief.
They had been constantly using their healing potions to replenish their health throughout the perilous journey. Otherwise, their health would dip at lightning speed, and they would lose their lives in less than a minute in the freezing cold.
When they arrived at the main gate of the Ice Snow Palace, the leader raised his hand and made a swift swiping movement. Instantly, the appearance of the palace gate became distorted and blurred, as the surrounding air rumbled ferociously as though it was gushing water. Then, suddenly, the facade of the Ice Snow Palace was ripped apart, as though it was a painting, before displaying the real image behind the mirage. It was a small village on an ice tower that was built with ice blocks.
Undoubtedly, both of them were noticeably dumbfounded at the scene that unfolded upon them, with their eyes and mouth wide open. So, the majestic castle is just an illusion, while the little village in there is the true base. But, it’s a bleak icy landscape with no life to be found, who are they actually hiding from?
The group of boys quickly led them to an igloo. When they reached the place, the leader raised his leg and ruthlessly kicked the door open, shouting, “Ice Elder, are you here?”
“Thump!”
Ice shards fluttered in the air as the ice door was shattered by his powerful kick.
With that rowdy commotion, the two old men with snow-white hair in the house turned around and stared at the entrance.
“Eh? Snow Elder, you’re here as well. We were planning to kick the door of your house for a visit later,” the leader was brazen and announced it honestly, as he scratched his head in frustration.
The white-haired man who was addressed as the Snow Elder simply replied with a chuckle, before exchanging a glance with the Ice Elder and asking, “Should we punish them?”
“Yes!”
In a flash, Snow Elder leaped up and hauled the leader away, as he violently assaulted every inch of the boy’s face until he wailed and begged for mercy.
After a merciless bout of beating, he flung the boy from his house. He was thoroughly injured and barely alive, as he lay limp on the cold floor.
When the other boys saw it, they immediately became frightened and took a step backward in trepidation.
“Foreigners? How did you manage to enter this place?” the Ice Elder stared at Murphy and Little Pomelo with a piercing gaze.
As they had just witnessed the Ice Elder’s brutal violence, both of them hastily pointed at the group of young boys.
“I’m going to beat all of you to death. Are you boys brainless pigs!? Why did you bring foreigners in?” warned the Ice Elder as he extended his hand and created a long ice staff.
When the young boys saw what was happening, they instantly turned around and fled, as the Ice Elder chased behind them, brandishing his ice staff and berating them incessantly.
“Ice Elder, they are our fellow classmen. They’re not foreigners, that’s what they told us,” the Ice Snow Clan boys shouted in return as they fumbled about, avoiding the old man’s attacks.
“Do you believe everything they said? You morons, can’t you see that they look different from us?” Ice Elder waved his staff more threateningly, irked by their flimsy explanation.
Soon, every one of the boys was lying on the ground, heavily injured from the old man’s merciless beating. Only then, the old man stopped hitting them and ambled toward Murphy and Little Pomelo.
Both of them were absolutely terrified and could not help but stumble a step backward.
“Foreigners, this is the forbidden land of the Ice Snow Clan. However, since you were brought in by the kids, I shall let this pass. I won’t punish you for trespassing on our forbidden grounds, so you should quickly leave!”
Despite feeling quite terrified, Murphy bit the bullet and opened his mouth, “Ice Elder, we’re here to see you.”
“Me? Why?” the Ice Elder was visibly surprised.
“We’re actually trying to find the group of people from the Cursed Clan that escaped into the Arctic Abyss many years ago. Ice Elder, do you perhaps know where they are?”
“The Cursed Clan? Hmm, I seem to remember something about it,” the Ice Elder stroked his beard as he squinted his eyes and fell into deep contemplation.
“Oh! I remember it now, I think they are there!” a contented smile suddenly appeared on the Ice Elder’s face.
Murphy and Little Pomelo seemed overjoyed by his positive reply, too.
“Since you’ve entered this place, I might as well bring you somewhere. Follow me.”
Murphy and Little Pomelo were sincerely grateful and touched when they saw how reasonable and understanding the Ice Elder was. Even though the people here seem rough and violent, they appear to be quite amicable, after all.
Hence, they followed the elders to the back of the village.
When they reached a cliff at the edge of the village, the Snow Elder pointed at the countless frozen statues erected on the icy cliff.
“It should be them.”
Murphy and Little Pomelo raised their head and peered ahead, realizing that each frozen statue contained a living being that was trapped within it. When the artifact analyzed the frozen statues that were pointed at by the Snow Elder, a data menu promptly appeared:
[Zhou Sheng (Cursed Clan Elder)]:
Cause of Death: Trespassing on the forbidden grounds of the Ice Snow Clan. Thus, the person was forever imprisoned on the Ice Snow Cliff.
[Zhou Gan (Cursed Clan Elder)]:
Cause of Death: Trespassing on the forbidden grounds of the Ice Snow Clan. Thus, the person was forever imprisoned on the Ice Snow Cliff.
[Zhou Jin (Cursed Clan Elder)]:
Cause of Death: Trespassing on the forbidden grounds of the Ice Snow Clan. Thus, the person was forever imprisoned on the Ice Snow Cliff.
……
They were completely thunderstruck when they saw the cause of death analysis notifications, as they had just presumed that the Ice Snow Clan’s people were friendly and amiable.
However, they felt even more dejected when they realized that everyone from the Cursed Clan had perished. What about the Prajñā Scarification, are we really left with no choice but to go to Naraka Realm?
Grief and hopelessness overwhelmed both of them, as their knees gave away.
However, a voice suddenly sounded from above, “Old Bing, Old Xue, who allowed you to bring foreigners here?”
Completely frightened, the Ice Elder and the Snow Elder’s expressions instantly darkened when they heard the menacing voice.
“Boss, listen to our explanation. This has nothing to do with us!”
“I won’t listen, I don’t care.”
A pure white figure suddenly leaped from the summit of the Ice Snow Cliff and landed before them. In the blink of an eye, the silhouette sucked both the Ice Elder and the Snow Elder onto his palms, before ruthlessly crushing their skulls against the icy ground.
“So, it’s my fault that you brought foreigners in, acted foolishly, and disobeyed the rules? Are the rules that I set as the clan leader too difficult to adhere to?”
Murphy and Little Pomelo were absolutely tongue-tied as they watched the two old men, who seemed extremely vicious previously, helplessly shielding their head from the barrage of punches.
That is the true image of brutal violence!
Murphy and Little Pomelo were evidently flustered as they watched the Ice Snow Clan’s boys ruthlessly attack each other again.
“It seems that the culture of the people here is a bit rough,” Murphy said in astonishment.
