Speaking, the Great Elder spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, "Several of our disciples have been killed by him, and it seems that he plans to break through our Mountain Protection Array Formation!"
"What, you're saying Lin Tanyu, is it that same person from the Mortal World?" Miao Xue frowned and asked coldly.
"It's him, and it seems he has come for Miao Xin..." the Great Elder said respectfully with his head lowered.
"What audacity Lin Tanyu has, the Strongest King from the Mortal World, daring to provoke our Miao Xue Divine Palace. Outrageous!" Miao Xue said, her pupils turning somewhat icy, "Gather the Disciples, kill this Devil and defend the dignity of our Miao Xue Divine Palace!"
"Yes, Great Palace Master."
Standing beside her, Miao Shuang furrowed her brows, "Sister, what should we do now? I've heard that he can even extinguish a thread of Innate Divine Thought from the Qingxuan Sect Master!"
Miao Xue harrumphed coldly and said, "So what if he can extinguish a thread of Divine Thought from the Qingxuan Sect Master? Together, you and I may not necessarily lose to him."
"Hmm." Miao Shuang nodded gravely, but a bad premonition still lingered deep in her heart.
"The Mountain Protection Array Formation cannot be broken like this." Miao Zhu, seeing Lin Mo ready to hack at the Mountain Protection Array Formation again, couldn't help but speak, "What a pity, the Divine Thought on my Token has been erased, otherwise I could open the Mountain Protection Array Formation!"
"There's no need for that much trouble; this Array Formation is much weaker compared to the Mountain Protection Array Formation of the Star Sect." Lin Mo said, lips curling into a confident smile.
Although the Star Sect also practiced Cultivation Techniques, they were much more advanced in the art of Array Formations than the Miao Xue Divine Palace. And a Grandmaster of Array Formations like Lin Mo could instantly spot the weaknesses in the Mountain Protection Array Formation of the Miao Xue Divine Palace.
"Condense the sword into threads!"
Lin Mo, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, casually struck down with a sword that didn't stir much commotion, appearing as the most ordinary of strikes, one that even an ordinary person might be able to block. But Miao Zhu, standing to the side, became rigid, a look of horror on her face. She could clearly feel a destructive power emanating from the blade of the sword. A fine, hairlike thread of golden light formed at the tip of the sword, and that heartbeat-skipping aura came from right there.
Miao Zhu, being a cultivator herself, understood how difficult it was to concentrate such colossal force into a thread, just as the smaller the area for the same mass, the stronger the force contained within.
The golden thread fell lightly, like a sharp blade slicing a cut in a sheet of paper, causing the whole Mountain Protection Array Formation to surge violently.
"The Mountain Protection Array Formation? What's going on?" Miao Shuang showed a look of astonishment.
Likewise, the other Disciples of the Miao Xue Divine Palace felt the intense fluctuations within the Array Formation.
"Miao Shuang, cast the spell!" Miao Xue frowned and immediately moved her hands to form a spell, directing a white light into the dome above, where the Array Eye was located.
Miao Shuang also immediately cast a spell, both trying to reinforce the Array Formation.
But by then, Lin Mo and Miao Zhu had already entered through the 'breach.'
"Lin Tanyu, you dare to intrude upon our Miao Xue Divine Palace, do you truly have a death wish?" Miao Shuang, seeing Lin Mo and Miao Zhu, rebuked them fiercely.
Miao Xue likewise glared at Lin Mo with an icy gaze, while each of the Disciples had readied themselves for battle.
Lin Mo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, allowing the cold wind to tousle his fine hair, his gaze indifferent, "Are you two the Palace Masters of the Miao Xue Divine Palace?"
"Miao Zhu, what are you trying to do?" Miao Xue asked coldly.
Lin Mo responded calmly, "I just want to know where Meng Die is now. Why did she come to the Miao Xue Divine Palace? And you must give me an explanation for what you did to her."
"Ha ha, Lin Tanyu, who do you think you are? Don't tell me that just because you dare to chase Qingxuan, you think our Miao Xue Divine Palace is a soft persimmon that you can squeeze however you want?" Miao Xue shook her head, her face covered with a layer of frost.
Miao Zhu clenched her fists, then suddenly spoke up, "Great Palace Master, Second Palace Master, I already know everything about you. You took us in as disciples but in reality, you were turning us into cauldrons for others, exchanging us for Spirit Stones. Don't believe them."
Upon hearing Miao Zhu's words, the disciples of the Miao Xue Divine Palace all showed looks of surprise, some exchanging glances with each other.
"Nonsense, Miao Zhu, you are a disciple of the Miao Xue Divine Palace, yet you dare to defame and insult us in front of everyone. Do you realize your crime!" Miao Shuang said sternly, her gaze fixed on Miao Zhu.
Miao Zhu bit her lip, "I had already escaped, but I came back to tell you the truth, to unveil the hideous masks of these two!"
"Don't believe Miao Zhu's words, she has been brainwashed by this devil. For the dignity of our Miao Xue Divine Palace, let's kill them together," Miao Xue said as she suddenly condensed a stunning ice flower in the palm of her hand, and instantly dozens of ice cones shot towards Miao Zhu.
"Don't waste your energy, they won't believe you," said Lin Mo as he swatted the incoming ice cones into shards, scattering them into the air.
Lin Mo's eyes were filled with endless killing intent.
Miao Xue and Miao Shuang exchanged glances, casually summoning various magic spells.
The Miao Xue Divine Palace was most adept at utilizing the Ice and Water Element magic, and being located within the Great Snow Mountain, it naturally had an innate advantage.
The two palace masters joined forces to deal with Lin Mo.
"Lin Mo, the Miao Xue Divine Palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please. You can't cause trouble in the Divine Palace," Miao Shuang said with a frosty expression.
No sooner had she finished speaking than from behind her, numerous large and dreamy ice flowers formed from the air. These large and stunning ice flowers were composed of sharp and transparent ice cones, standing erect like sharp treasure swords.
Then, these ice flowers turned into a sky full of ice cones that shot toward Lin Mo again. Each ice cone not only carried immense power but also a piercing chill that seemed to penetrate the flesh and bones. As they passed, they left trails of icy blue marks, freezing everything in their path, whether it be trees or grass, into a layer of ice crystals.
In Lin Mo's heart, a long-suppressed anger surged like floodwaters, and if it weren't for the Miao Xue Divine Palace, he and Xia Mengdie wouldn't have been separated, and to make matters worse, the Miao Xue Divine Palace even offered Xia Mengdie as a cauldron to Qingxuan.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo's rage rose abruptly. He unsheathed his sword and slashed down a light curtain of blue light, thin as if descending from the sky, with faint blue thunder flashing within it, containing an immense and vast suppression.
The ice cones were immediately turned into shards by the blue light curtain. In an instant, the sword light reached Miao Shuang, whose face showed a look of shock, and she quickly retreated a hundred meters.
Although the sword light did not hit her, it had torn a gap about ten feet deep into the paved stone path; had the strike landed on her, she would have been cleaved in two.
Seeing Lin Mo's strength, Miao Shuang felt somewhat alarmed, her originally cold face now showing a hint of fear, as she intently watched Lin Mo.
