"Now, it's time to test this." Fade waved his dagger as his heart beat excitedly.
"Swish!" The sharp force directly hit the earth and stones in the cave.
In an instant, a hole appeared and the rocks slid down.
"It's pretty powerful!" Fade's eyes lit up. He activated the Yuan Seal ice essence and the cold Qi from the Ice Soul Pearl, sending them into the dagger.
Suddenly, the dagger emitted a layer of blue Icing air. The air seemed to be frozen by it.
At the same time, the mountain rock was directly cut with a huge hole, and at the same time, the stone was frozen. As he approached, he touched the stone with his hand, and the stone immediately broke and fell down.
"Good stuff. Its power is not bad!" Fade was overjoyed.
While Fade was training hard in the Frost Valley to increase his strength, the outside world was not idle.
A black-robed man stood in the study room of the backyard in the Loh clan's mansion. He cupped his hands toward the figure seated behind the table and said, “Greetings, Master Loh."
At that moment, the figure sitting in front of the desk looked almost the same as Ezekiel, but he looked younger. He looked like an illusion.
If someone who was waiting at the exit of Frost Valley saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.
Ezekiel was still waiting at the exit of Frost Valley, not leaving.
But at this moment, the figure in the study was indeed Ezekiel.
The reason why Ezekiel could create two doppelgangers at the same time was because his cultivation was at the Fetus Refine Realm.
When one entered the Fetus Refine Realm, one's divine soul would fuse with the elixir core and Yuan Seal. As one gradually cultivated, one would slowly develop a spiritual intelligence that was one with their body. It could be used as one's true body's embodiment. One could even leave their body to fight while they survived.
Of course, Ezekiel, who was only at the first level of the Fetus Refine Realm, couldn't be too far away from his vital fetus. Otherwise, he might harm himself and even cause the vital fetus to rot.
However, it was enough to deliver the message from this avatar.
Ezekiel's vital fetus looked at the black-robed man and said, "Has the news reached?"
The black-robed man nodded and said, "The news has been transmitted to the strange relic. Master asked me to bring back a secret letter."
While speaking, the man in black took out a letter and handed it to Ezekiel.
Ezekiel quickly received the secret letter. He tapped his finger and a wave of positive energy swept across the letter, confirming that it was not damaged or stolen. He then opened the letter and began to read it.
It wasn't long before Ezekiel finished reading the letter. His eyes lit up and he immediately ordered, "Summon the forces of the Loh family in South Van City to head for Frost Valley. Tomorrow, prepare to kill Fade."
"This..." The black-cloaked person was a little stunned. However, aware of his own identity, he did not ask any more questions and left with a nod.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel read the letter in his hand again and whispered to himself, "A lowborn from the Human Spirit World. Who would have thought that you would have such good luck? The precious Ice Soul Pearl is with you." "However, this Ice Soul Pearl will soon belong to my Loh family. And this Ice Soul Pearl is very likely to have a way to deal with my father's actions in the strange relic."
With that, Ezekiel's fingertip lightly touched the letter and burned it up. His body gradually dissipated like a phantom.
In the Gu family, Yarrow looked at the returning Talmon and hurriedly stepped forward. He asked, "Uncle, how is it going? Did the Master Gu agree?"
Talmon sighed and shook his head. "No, he hasn't decided yet, but neither has he changed his mind. I think he still doesn't want to save Fade."
"This..." Yarrow gritted his teeth and his face was filled with anger. "What are they doing? Fade is the benefactor of our Gu family. How can they not save him? This-"
Talmon's eyes were filled with determination. He said, "If Devin is really unwilling to take action, I will fight for Fade even if I have to sacrifice my life."
"Uncle, let me join you." Yarrow also looked determined.
At that moment, a figure drifted over.
"Who is it?" The two were alert.
"It's me!" The person who came over was a familiar figure. It was Natalia.
"Natalia, why are you here?" Yarrow asked in surprise.
Talmon was also confused.
Natalia said, "Let's talk inside."
The three of them entered the room. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Natalia finally said, "I just got a message that the Loh family is mobilizing troops to reinforce the Frost Valley."
"Is the Loh family really going to kill them all? They've gone too far." Yarrow gnashed his teeth, his face full of hatred.
Talmon's face darkened and he realized something. "It's unusual. If it's just for the purpose of killing Fade, it's enough for Ezekiel to be there alone. There's no need to mobilize more troops. Is there anything else?"
Natalia nodded and said, "I have received news that the Loh family sent people to the strange relic when Ezekiel just sealed Frost Valley"
"The strange relic... could it be that they are contacting Loh family's old grandfather Amman and the others? Since they are mobilizing people, it feels different." Talmon immediately realized something.
Natalia nodded and said, "That's very likely.”
Yarrow, on the other hand, didn't come to his senses for a moment. He asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"
Talmon said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten? Lucian made public the news that Fade came from the Mortal Spirit Realm and told us about the relationship between our Gu family and Loh family in the Human Spirit World."
"Then Ezekiel must have known this long ago. In the Frost Valley, Fade alone fought against three people. He killed three Loh Family members and finally seized the Eternal Ice Cores. It's easy to associate some things with each other."
Speaking of this, Yarrow finally realized something.
"Uncle, do you mean that the Loh family has predicted that the Ice Soul Pearl is in Fade's hands, so they want to grab it?"
Talmon nodded and said, "Very likely!"
"We speculated that Fade got the news of the Ice Soul Pearl. The Loh family is likely to have the same knowledge and awareness as us. Therefore, it is normal for them to make such an inference."
Yarrow nodded with understanding, but he was still confused. "Even if they know that the Ice Soul Pearl is with Fade, they don't need to send troops like this."
"Uncle, didn't you say that the Ice Soul Pearl was just an ordinary treasure that fell from the edge of the strange relic into the Human Spirit World? It's not that valuable compared to it."
Talmon said in a deep voice, "I do think so. However, Fade's strength has improved rapidly during this period of time, and the fighting strength that he displayed is even more terrifying."
"In terms of cultivation, he's only at the first level of the Soul Refine Realm, but he managed to kill three cultivators at the eighth level of the Soul Refine Realm at the same time. We can't possibly attribute all of that strength to his talents. Furthermore, they know that Fade comes from the ordinary Human Spirit World."
"So when he learned that the Ice Soul Pearl is with Fade, he would naturally think like this. A slum from the Human Spirit World is able to improve its strength so rapidly and fight so valiantly. It must have something to do with the treasure, the Ice Soul Pearl."
"Moreover, the reason why the family sent people to the strange relic is probably to confirm the role of the ice soul Pearl to the Loh family's elders. Now, there must be a reply from the other side, so the Loh family will dispatch troops."
"It seems that the Loh family not only wants to kill Fade, but also to get the Ice Soul Pearl."
After listening to Talmon's explanation, Yarrow's face was full of worry. He couldn't help but become anxious. "Then what should we do? Should we ask Master Gu for help?" Talmon said faintly, "I'm afraid an ordinary request is useless. If you want Devin to take action, you have to find another way"
"What can we do?" Yarrow asked anxiously.
From a corner, Natalia said faintly, "I'm afraid there is only one way now?"
Talmon looked at Natalia with a hesitant expression and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that things will end up out of control. At that time, no one can say what will happen."
"We have no choice. Our top priority is to save his life!" Natalia said.
Yarrow looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What are you two talking about?"
Talmon said, "It’s very simple. Tell Devin about the Ice Soul Pearl."
"Ah, this Yarrow almost instinctively objected, but immediately realized that this seemed to be the only way at the moment.
The Loh family's deployment of troops was enough to prove the preciousness of the Icy
Soul Pearl.
If he told Devin about this, he might agree to take action to protect Fade because of the Ice Soul Pearl.
After all, the Gu family could not stand by and watch the Loh family get a precious treasure.
Of course, there were drawbacks to doing this.
Once the matter was exposed and the Loh family and the Gu family took action at the same time, then it would be more and more obvious and almost impossible to hide it. At that time, there would be many people talking. The news about the Ice Soul Pearl being with Fade would be likely to be exposed.
At that time, other forces and people apart from the Loh family and the Gu family would be itching to take action.
With more people, it would be unpredictable what would happen.
This was also what Talmon was worried about earlier.
Since there were only a few hours left before the exit of Frost Valley opened, he could not delay any longer.
There was no better way. Talmon finally nodded and said, "I will go and chat with Devin and get him to act."
"Yarrow, make a trip to Frost Valley and try to find a way to tell this information to Fade so that he can prepare himself."
"Natalia, you can contact your friends. If things go out of control, you can just announce the news to everyone and completely mess it up. Maybe there is still a chance of survival."
Natalia rolled his eyes at Talmon and said, "I don't need you to teach me. I'm already preparing to contact my friends."
Talmon nodded and got up to leave.
Not long after, the quiet backyard of the Gu Family became lively.
Devin issued several orders in succession. At the same time, he started a special channel to contact Pascal, the old master of the Gu family, who was in the strange relic.
