"Snowdale, that''s enough." Then suddenly, a new figure appeared. Her tone was calm and serene as her white hair fluttered by the wind. She looked like a goddess even though she''s wearing a mask.
"Snowdale greets the Sect Master." Snowdale cupped her fists and greeted the neer. She already expected that the sect master would be personally handling the matter here. Thus, she withdrew leaving a sharp re towards Jin Rou.
"I''m sorry for what that child has done, Young Noble." Winter Sectmaster smiled wryly, "She is just greatly affected by what happened in the past. Please forgive her ridiculousness."
"I guess that''s all right." Jin Rou smiled helplessly. How could he not give face to the sectmaster right now? "I just wanted to meet the ancestor and I''ll go. This will be thest time I can see her, so I really want to. Can you help me?"
Winter Sectmaster opened her mouth but no words came out. It seemed she had difficulty in saying what she wanted to say. Eventually, she responded, "Let''s talk inside. It''s cold here."
Jin Rou and Sylvianna were led inside. They were currently in the sectmaster''s winter courtyard. It was one of the most beautiful courtyard aside from the ancestor''s.
The Winter Sectmaster personally made the tea and served it towards the two, "This is the best tea our Winter Sect can serve you."
Sylvianna didn''t like tea most of the time but her attention was caught by the sweet aroma of the tea. She took a sip and nodded in satisfaction. It was a perfect blend for a cold ce like this.
"I''m d this little girl likes it." Winter Sectmaster smiled. She didn''t mention the identity of the other party.
Jin Rou was not in the mood for the tea and directly asked to the point, "What happened to Snowinter?"
Snowinter Ancestor was the current strongest existence of the Winter Sect. Because of her, the people were treading carefully. She was a fully fledged Executioner.
Executioner were the other path aside from the sainthood path. However, not just anyone could choose this path as they firstly needed to have learnt the specific daow in order to choose their Executioner''s Path.
Currently, the Winter Sect had the daow for this path. Moreover, they had no ns in sharing the daow itself.
As of now, the Winter Sect had produced eight Executioners. Four of them had already embarked to a new world to broaden their horizons, while the other four were hibernating to keep their lives. After all, it''s not easy to survive for them. Though the tribtions had a low chance ofing to them unlike the era emperors, their lifespan was shorter.
Winter Sectmaster gripped her fists and took a deep breath, "Snowinter Ancestor was taken by New Eye. She came with her own ord and no one forced her to do so."
"New Eye? What for?" Jin Rou heard this word once again. As far as he remembered, New Eye even extended their hands on Southern King where there were only vajras at best.
"Theye here for the Executioner''s Path Dao Law. However, the ancestor declined no matter what the offer was." Winter Sectmaster began exining what happened.
A few years ago, ancestors from the New Eye personally came to Winter Sect pay them a visit. As they were known to be vicious and dark, they would have never been granted entry. Unfortunately, it changed since the New Eye held something against the ancestor.<sub> </sub>
They demanded the daow to be an Executioner. The New Eye wanted to be the next Winter Sect that was capable of killing emperors and injuring top emperors.
Of course, Snowinter Ancestor didn''t ept the demand no matter how extravagant the offers were. Being helpless, they instead demand for the ancestor toe with them. And to their stupefaction, the ancestor epted readily as if she was waiting for this moment.
"That woman..." Jin Rou felt his head ache. He could easily guess what her purpose was foring with them there.
"Fortunately, the ancestor is alive and well there. It seems she''s even enjoying her stay there. We don''t know what to do." Winter Sectmaster wryly smiled. They wanted to save the ancestor but the ancestor herself told them there was no need to.
So, they were treating it like she''s there for a vacation.
"Do you know the location of New Eye?" Jin Rou said. They better be prudent enough or else their heads might roll on the groundter on.
"It''s this." Winter Sectmaster handed over a piece of paper. There it contained the specific coordinates of the ce of New Eye.
"Sylv, you stay here and entertain the sectmaster." Jin Rou said, "I''ll be back immediately."
For Jin Rou, it was an urgent matter. Thus he set off and didn''t dilly dally. He needed to confirm it himself whether the ancestor was alive or not.
With Jin Rou gone, Sylvianna was sipping the tea while the Winter Sectmaster did the same, albeit with stolen nces.
"I''m under a deal with that man." Sylvianna could sense the probing gaze of the sectmaster, "He will help me exact my revenge as long as I can help him pave the way during the war."
"So Young Noble is going to challenge that old man again." Winter Sectmaster said in a low voice. Not just anyone was capable of challenging that oldest existence over and over.
In the past, Winter Sect had this thought too. However, Han Li stopped them from doing so. After all, he knew how dangerous it was and by that time, they stood no chance against them.
In fact, even up to now, with the progenitor gone, they stood lower chances against.
"He said this will be thest time. Thus, he''s going to go all out." Sylvianna said, "It''s an all in chips to bet. Kill or be killed. It''s the only choices he has."
Hearing this, the Winter Sectmaster''s heart turned heavy. No one knew how hard Han Li''s path was. But she was aware that no one in their sect, even their progenitor, could pull this off.
