Chapter 548 Leaving the Secret Realm!
The Ice Palace only has one half-step Nascent Soul Grandmaster, namely Grandmaster Dou.
He is not far from his death.
But as long as he lives, no one in the Ice Palace will dare to disobey his will.
Including the Palace Master of the Ice Palace.
In the eyes of the Palace Master of the Ice Palace, if Ling Han could marry the Second Elder, it would not only consolidate her own position.
She might even give birth to a genius grandson for him!
Why not?
Without much hesitation, he agreed.
If Ling Han hadn't been so assertive, even threatening suicide, that old bastard would have already succeeded.
However, an agreement was still signed with them.
To break through to the Golden Core stage, she must marry the Second Elder.
Otherwise, then die.
Therefore, over the years, she not only did not make efforts to cultivate, but even tried every means to avoid cultivation.
At that moment, Zhang Xuanbing's image appeared in her mind.
But neither his strength nor the Zhang family's strength could help her escape her misery.
This is also why Ling Han has never come to find Zhang Xuanbing even once in all these years.
I was just afraid of causing trouble for Zhang Xuanbing.
But things are different now. Zhang Xuanbing broke through from the peak of Foundation Establishment to the mid-stage of Golden Core in just four years.
This is beyond what the word "genius" can describe.
After listening to Ling Han's words, Zhang Xuanbing looked at Ling Han, who was kneeling in the void and crying, with a complicated expression.
Thinking back to Zhang Xuanchen's wedding day four years ago.
Ling Han's composure when facing herself.
At that time, the arrogance in her eyes was impossible to hide.
But in just a few years, the once-proud and talented young woman has been forced into this state.
Life is truly unpredictable.
With a soft sigh, he used his spiritual energy to help Ling Han up.
"Stand up and speak."
"How much longer can you hold on?"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Ling Han's dim eyes.
Could it be?
He quickly replied, "Ten years!"
Xuanbing, I can only last another ten years at most.
Ten years from now, I'll only have two choices: compromise or die.
"Xuanbing, I really like you. If you agree to help me, we can get married right now."
No witnesses are needed.
No, you don't have to help me.
I'm happy and willing to give myself to you.
She doesn't care about anything anymore.
Being Zhang Xuanbing's woman, even without any official status, is a thousand times, ten thousand times, better than being with that old beast!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanbing frowned. "Don't talk nonsense."
There is no affection between us, so please don't say that again.
But I can help you. Within ten years, the Zhang family can help you escape this misery.
You only need to promise me one thing.
That means being on standby at all times.
If my Zhang family intends to attack the Ice Palace, you must help the Zhang family break through the Ice Palace's protective formation at the crucial moment.
If you agree, then swear an oath to Heaven!
If you refuse, you must swear an oath to Heaven promising not to publicize our conversation.
"Our Zhang family's grand plan cannot afford to fail!"
With the help of that mysterious ice crystal, he was confident that he could break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm within ten years.
If one can comprehend sword intent during this period, it is not impossible to block a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.
Therefore, even if the Ice Palace cannot be destroyed in ten years, it will not be a big problem to help Ling Han escape from the sea of suffering.
This is under the premise of the Zhang family's normal development.
But in Zhang Xuanbing's mind, this kind of normal development is unlikely to happen.
Because of Zhang Xuanchen, his mysterious and unpredictable physique gives him and even the Zhang family's future limitless possibilities.
Under his leadership, and with the Zhang family united as one, outstanding talents emerged one after another.
In the future, unifying the Tianlong Sea is inevitable.
A battle between various forces is inevitable.
By having Ling Han act as an inside agent within the Ice Palace, she managed to break the Ice Palace's protective formation at a crucial moment.
This could save the Zhang family a lot of resources and even save the lives of many clansmen.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ling Han's eyes.
Is my beauty really that unattractive?
He was rejected multiple times!
It's alright, though. After this incident, she and Zhang Xuanbing also developed a secret.
A little secret that belongs only to the two of them.
Their relationship has taken another step closer.
If Zhang Xuanming, who was not far away, knew what she was thinking, he would definitely question her loudly:
Am I not a human being?
Am I even human?!
Ling Han looked at Zhang Xuanbing and said, "Okay."
I promise you.
I, Ling Han, swear once again…
After she made another vow to Heaven, Zhang Xuanbing nodded.
He said, "Okay."
Ling Han, rest assured, the Zhang family will certainly not let you down.
Ten years, it will only be sooner, not later.
It will surely help you escape from this sea of suffering.
Ling Han replied:
"Xuanbing, I definitely believe you."
"Aren't you really going to consider coming here with me...?"
Before Ling Han could finish speaking, Zhang Xuanbing raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Miss Linghan, you will find your ideal husband in the future."
Don't do that again.
Until we meet again.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanbing picked up Zhang Xuanming and flew away from the place.
Ling Han was left alone, bewildered in the snow and ice.
She stared blankly at Zhang Xuanbing's departing figure.
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
A sickly smile appeared on his face.
She murmured softly:
"My ideal husband is you, Zhang Xuanbing."
It doesn't matter how many times you reject me.
As long as I persevere, I will succeed one day.
Even if it takes any extreme measures, I will get you!
Hehehe.
……
the other side.
Standing atop the spirit sword, Zhang Xuanming looked at Zhang Xuanbing, who remained silent and had a cold expression.
I couldn't help but nudge him in the back twice and said:
"Hey, Third Brother."
Why won't you agree? That's Ling Han, the fairy!
Young Master of the Ice Palace.
Her talent, looks, and figure are all top-notch.
She could be considered the dream partner of countless male cultivators in the South China Sea Immortal Continent.
They've already offered themselves up, and they have no intention of competing with Su Sansao for a position.
I just want to be a small person.
You rejected it without even thinking about it.
How is it?
Do you regret it now?
ah?"
In response to this question, Zhang Xuanbing simply replied, "No regrets."
"I have no regrets now, and I will never regret it later."
"The reason I agreed to help her was solely for the sake of my Zhang family's grand plan for rise."
That's not her.
"Let's go, let's continue searching for our clansmen, for medicinal herbs, and for killing."
……
Time flies, and a month and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
Rumble!
The entire secret realm began to shake.
The cultivators and demonic beasts exploring various parts of the secret realm were all enveloped in a beam of light.
They vanished from their spot in an instant.
The leaders of various forces, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately took high alert upon seeing the tremors in the secret realm.
He looked expectantly towards the area outside the secret realm that was shrouded in blue light.
Zhang Shikai, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Condensing Dew Sect, exclaimed excitedly:
"It's open! The secret realm is open!"
"The spiritual energy released by this secret realm is extremely compatible with the cultivation techniques practiced by the disciples of my Ninglu Sect."
This time, the strength of the younger generation of my Ninglu Sect will surely improve greatly!
His gaze then fell on Zhang Zujun, his face filled with sarcasm:
"Old Zhang the Ghost".
What do you think of the Zhang family disciples' gains on this trip?
Zhang Zujun did not respond, his eyes fixed on the area enveloped by the blue light.
Seeing this, Zhang Shikai snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, other forces also began to stir.
Their expressions were solemn, and their thoughts were varied.
Standing at the very front was Dou Kun, a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ice Cold Palace.
Tianluo Temple Half-Step Nascent Soul Bitter Cloud.
And two half-step demon sects from the Purple Cloud Mountain Range and the Azure Nether Mountain Range.
The two people and the two demons were wary of each other.
But no one intended to make a move at this time.
