Chapter 1850: There’s Always Some Schemer Trying to Harm Me
The entire palace is made of ice and snow, crystal clear, as if crafted by a top master with a lifetime’s effort.
A crystal chandelier hangs from the palace ceiling, emitting multicolored lights that illuminate every corner.
The palace is rendered like a fairy tale world, a veritable earthly paradise.
The palace is vast and can accommodate thousands of people.
In the center of the palace runs a grand path leading into its depths, connecting to the icy steps, upon which sits a majestic ice throne, akin to the throne of the ice god in Western mythology.
"Hmm? No one is here, do they want me to sit on it?"
Ye Chenfeng surveyed the surroundings and couldn’t help but speak.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the palace doors closed.
"Friend, we’ve all come, won’t you show yourself?"
Ye Chenfeng walked step by step to the icy steps, ascended them, and finally arrived before the ice throne.
"Mr. Ye, don’t!"
The Dark Witch exclaimed in the distance, warning Ye Chenfeng not to move.
However, Ye Chenfeng turned slowly, glanced at the Dark Witch, and sat down heavily on the ice throne.
"Damn, it’s really damn comfortable!"
Ye Chenfeng sized up the ice throne around him.
"It’s over, it’s over, the ice god will curse us!"
The Dark Witch turned pale with fright, as the very thing she had feared happened.
"Swoosh..."
The moment her words fell, the ice throne suddenly erupted with a surge of cold air, instantly freezing Ye Chenfeng.
No matter how strong Ye Chenfeng was, he couldn’t escape and was directly frozen.
This scene changed the expressions of Catherine and the Dark Witch at the same time.
"Miss Catherine, quickly save Mr. Ye!"
The Dark Witch was extremely anxious.
Catherine didn’t hesitate at all, stepping forward and appearing in front of the ice throne in the blink of an eye. She began to form a Finger Technique, releasing pure ice-elemental power...
But Ye Chenfeng, who was frozen, showed no reaction, which meant Catherine couldn’t control it at all.
"Curse, the curse of the ice deity cannot be lifted."
The Dark Witch cried out repeatedly and fled.
"Swoosh!"
Yet her body froze in mid-air.
"Song of the Divine!"
As Catherine invoked the Song of the Divine, she too was frozen.
The curse’s power was such that it was impossible to dodge.
In an instant, the entire Ice Snow Palace fell silent, with Ye Chenfeng and the others turned into statues, eternally sealed in this place.
Just as the Dark Witch described, this was truly a terrifying thing.
To be conscious but unable to move, enduring endless, unending years, incapable of emerging.
For any living being, it was an excruciatingly cruel fate, a fate worse than death perfectly illustrated here.
Among the snow-capped mountains, the palace vanished, like a mirage.
Inside the palace, Ye Chenfeng and the others had been sealed for several hours.
Of course, the three didn’t sit idly; they were always thinking of a solution.
Especially Ye Chenfeng, who had tried countless methods, yet to no avail, unable to disrupt the curse’s power.
With Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Soul spiritual power now at an extremely powerful level, he could almost introspectively view within himself.
He could perceive Aquino’s manipulations inside his body, clearly sensing the curse flowing through a certain part of him.
The curse wasn’t intangible; it was like an invisible Gu Insect, existent but undetectable by ordinary people.
He tried various ways to attack the curse, but it was ineffective.
It’s likely that Catherine and the Dark Witch were the same, trying everything without success.
"Intruders, you are now permanently cursed here."
An eerie voice echoed throughout the palace, reaching the ears of the three.
It was in an ancient language, incomprehensible to the Dark Witch, even though she had lived for a thousand years.
Yet, Ye Chenfeng and Catherine understood it, having encountered this ancient language in the Song of the Divine, which recorded a mysterious and powerful race.
The Song of the Divine only spoke briefly of this race, not recording much detail.
However, there was an indication that this ancient race was connected to the Ice Snow Holy Kingdom.
Ye Chenfeng also knew that this race might be linked to the greatest secret of the Ice Snow Holy Kingdom.
Guardian spirit?
Ye Chenfeng and Catherine both had the same thought in their minds.
It seemed the three intruded into the domain of this mysterious race, offending the guardian spirit of this race.
Witnessing Catherine’s strength, the guardian spirit led them to this palace and cursed them.
Why did such a powerful ancient race exist around the Mysterious Village?
There must be a reason behind it.
"We need to find a way to break the curse quickly!"
Ye Chenfeng dismissed other thoughts, solely focused on solutions.
He tried channeling powerful forces to expel the curse, only managing to relocate the curse mark within his body, not remove it.
The curse mark seemed to be a part of his body.
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng felt the curse mark shift to the location of the Buddha Ghost King Mark left by Aquino.
"Huh? There’s a way. Let’s see if Aquino is capable!"
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes gleamed brightly.
He calmed down, guiding the curse mark to collide with Aquino’s Buddha Ghost King Mark, creating an intersection between the two.
"Something’s wrong, it’s actually you!"
Suddenly, the guardian spirit of the mysterious race spoke into Ye Chenfeng’s ears.
"It’s actually you! I actually encountered you! Oh my, if I sacrifice you, my clan’s Seal can be broken, and we can reemerge!"
The guardian spirit’s voice rose, immensely excited.
And the guardian spirit was referring to Ye Chenfeng!
"Damn, it sounds like killing me would bring them back. So this race is sealed too."
Ye Chenfeng was helpless: "But why me, these troublemakers keep targeting me!"
...
Far away in the Philippines, in the Soul Hiding family.
Aquino was performing a ritual, the secret chamber filled with a blood-red glow, the atmosphere eerie and sinister.
"Puh!"
Suddenly, Aquino spat blood.
His eyes shot out two cold beams, like those of a Poison Snake.
"Curse? What on earth happened to him?"
Aquino shouted, his terrifying voice resounding like the sky splitting apart.
"No, I can’t let it ruin my plans! I have to break the curse!"
Aquino roared fiercely.
...
Inside the Ice Snow Palace.
Amid a heaven-shaking sound, the guardian spirit suddenly appeared.
"Though I’m not sealed, I can’t leave here. But you came to me!"
The guardian spirit exclaimed with excitement.
"Finally, I see it for myself!"
Ye Chenfeng’s tone carried expectancy.
"Puh!"
But when he saw the true form of the guardian spirit, he almost spat blood.
"I imagined over a dozen possibilities, but never this result."
