Chapter 2278: Chapter 2274: Never Underrated

"Xia Yifeng."

Guardian Bing shouted angrily, his face cold with fury, "You bow and speak to a stranger as the Palace Master, are you intending to betray the sect?"

Guardian Nangong erupted with an imposing manner, "In the Ice Emperor Palace, there has never been a Palace Master, even the ancestors of our four families would not dare claim it."

"The only Palace Master of Ice Emperor Palace is the Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"Xia Yifeng, how dare you speak such blasphemous words now? Truly disgraceful."

Xia Yifeng straightened up after bowing, looking coldly at the two of them.

"The disgraceful ones are not I, but the two of you."

"Have you all forgotten the words of advice from the four ancestors before their deaths? No, you haven’t forgotten, you just pretend not to know."

Guardian Nangong’s face changed.

Guardian Bing’s expression turned sinister, "Xia Yifeng, are you still going to speak nonsense?"

At that moment, a strong, domineering voice rang out.

"Xia Yifeng is not speaking nonsense." Lu Long stepped forward and solemnly said.

Boom...

As his foot moved, the entire fourth floor of the Ice Palace was instantly filled with an inexplicably domineering aura.

The momentum that Guardian Nangong had unleashed was instantly suppressed to the point where it could not be manifested.

Lu Long glanced solemnly at the four people present and said in a deep voice, "Back then, the four ancestors said that the Ice Venerate Ancestor was always waiting for someone."

"Someone who could inherit all of his teachings."

"The four ancestors also said that although they had extraordinary talent, they could never meet the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s requirements, nor did they have the ability to inherit the master’s teachings."

"Therefore, the four ancestors died with regret, and they instructed us extremely seriously that one day if the person the Ice Venerate Ancestor was waiting for finally came, we must protect them at all costs."

"Be it the Ice Emperor Palace or the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion, their existence is all for the continuation of the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s legacy, to truly wait for this person."

Lu Long said, taking a deep breath, "The ancestor of my Lu Family made it clear to me after creating the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion that the fourth floor of the Ice Palace contains prohibitions left by the Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"If one day, someone can unlock the secrets of the fourth floor of the Ice Palace and be acknowledged by the prohibition, it would be the person recognized by the Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"This person would become the inheritor of the master’s teachings, and also be the Pavilion Master of my Ice Storm Sword Pavilion."

After his words fell, Lu Long looked at Xiao Yi and also bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, turning aside without accepting the salute.

On the other side, Xia Yifeng nodded, "Indeed, it is also stated by the three ancestors of my Ice Emperor Palace that the fourth floor of the Ice Palace holds prohibitions left by the Ice Venerate Ancestor."

"If one unlocks the secrets here and gains recognition from the prohibition, they will be the successor of the Ice Venerate Ancestor and also the Palace Master of my Ice Emperor Palace."

"Everyone in the Ice Emperor Palace must protect this person at all costs."

"Now Xiao Yi has unlocked the secret of the fourth floor of the Ice Palace, gained recognition from the prohibition, and has mastered the entire fourth floor. Undoubtedly, he is the person the Ice Venerate Ancestor has been waiting for all this time and has inherited the master’s teachings."

"If anyone dares show any disrespect, don’t blame me, Xia Yifeng, for being impolite."

In the last sentence, Xia Yifeng’s expression was particularly serious.

Some things are tantamount to a mission of faith to him, which must not be desecrated in the slightest.

From the beginning to the end, every martial artist in the history of the Ice Emperor Palace has had the same mission; the purpose of founding the Ice Emperor Palace was always for one goal.

"Utter nonsense." Guardian Bing still shouted angrily.

Xia Yifeng coldly said, "Guardian Bing, do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Saying this, Xia Yifeng looked at Xiao Yi, "I think, smart as you are, Xiao Yi, you should have understood the situation by now."

Xiao Yi nodded, his face icy, "Originally, I always wondered why the two guardians were always going against me." freⅇ

"Just because of some old grudge with your Ice Emperor Palace’s disciple, you make trouble for me at every turn, not allowing me to cultivate on this fourth floor of the Ice Palace?"

"No, although your Ice Emperor Palace’s Martial Arts Inheritance is precious, the inheritance of the Eight Palaces is no worse, so I am not that greedy."

"Moreover, considering my current status, you two guardians shouldn’t have any reason to deliberately make enemies of me."

"Unless you are fools, but clearly, you two are two old foxes who have lived for countless years."

"Moreover, if allowing me to dabble in your Ice Emperor Palace’s common inheritance could foster goodwill with me, it would be very worthwhile for a power."

Indeed, considering Xiao Yi’s current status, it would be wise for anyone to try to befriend him.

Yet Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong deliberately made enemies, creating difficulties on purpose, which was clearly unusual.

At least, concerning the old grudge that was not worth much, it was not worth it.

Xiao Yi looked at the two of them and said coldly, "Originally, I was always puzzled."

"Until I entered the Ice Venerate Hall, only then did I understand."

"What really caused you to trouble me all along was the true opportunity and true inheritance of the fourth floor of the Ice Palace, wasn’t it?"

Only this true inheritance was worth the two guardians doing everything to stop Xiao Yi, even at the cost of making enemies.

Xia Yifeng said coldly, "From the moment Xiao Yi came to the Ice Emperor Palace, you’ve been making trouble for him everywhere, trying every means to prevent him from entering the fourth floor of the Ice Palace."

"And when he did enter the fourth floor, you plotted to make him leave sooner."

"Heh." Xia Yifeng sneered contemptuously, "You always say Xiao Yi is nothing, belittling him at every turn, words that hit the heart."

"Do you really think you can deceive everyone?"

"From the beginning, you never underestimated Xiao Yi, not even daring to underestimate him, you’ve always been highly wary of him."

"Xiao Yi, this successor of the Eight Palaces, this terrible monster who has created miracle after miracle in the Central Region by himself, no one has ever dared to doubt his excellence."

"You knew long ago that if Xiao Yi entered the fourth floor of the Ice Palace, he would have a great chance to unlock its secrets and receive the recognition of the Ice Venerate Ancestor’s inheritance." freⅇ

From the beginning, Xia Yifeng had seen through the thoughts of Guardians Bing and Nangong.

He simply did not speak of it, nor had he ever clearly stated it.

Because he always believed in Xiao Yi’s ability, in Senior Luoo and the Masters of the Main Hall’s vision, and was convinced that Xiao Yi would not disappoint, that he would surely obtain the Ice Venerate Inheritance.

"You tried every means to make things difficult, but Xiao Yi ultimately succeeded, gaining recognition from the Ice Venerate Master."

"Now, do you still wish to make excuses, to continue on a path of no return?"

Xia Yifeng’s face had gradually turned cold as frost.

The expressions of Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong immediately became extremely unpleasant.

Clearly, Xia Yifeng had spoken directly to the core of their thoughts.

At this moment, their expressions turned a little frantic, and in their eyes, there was a fleeting flash of murderous intent.

The killing intent instantly locked onto Xiao Yi.

Swish...

The figures of the two guardians moved at once.

"What do you intend to do?" Xia Yifeng’s expression changed dramatically.

"Stop him." Guardian Bing shouted angrily.

Guardian Nangong instantly flashed in front of Xia Yifeng.

While Guardian Bing directly charged at Xiao Yi, a cold smile on his lips, "So what if you’ve unlocked the secrets of the fourth floor of the Ice Palace? So what if you gained recognition?"

"What use is a dead person?"

"You dare?" Xia Yifeng was greatly astonished, hair and beard bristling with anger.
