Binghe stood with his hands behind his back, a staircase of black ice slowly descending from beneath his throne.
Standing atop the black ice staircase, snowflakes falling from the sky swirled and roared around him. These seemingly fragile snowflakes, at this moment, possessed terrifying destructive power.
It must be said that compared to many others, Binghe's methods of showing off were clearly a level above, far superior to the entrances he made at the Four Pavilions Conference.
However, no matter how cool the entrance, without strength, one is nothing.
Originally, everyone in Binghe Valley thought their Valley Master was about to take action personally, and they were all excited, ready to witness something amazing...
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was still no further action.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky.
They saw their Valley Master still with that arrogant and aloof posture, but he was completely motionless, even the swirling snowflakes that had been used to create the atmosphere around him had stopped...
Those disciples with insufficient strength hadn't yet figured out what was going on, but Dou Zun like Tian Shuangzi had already noticed something was wrong.
"Valley Master..."
Tian Shuangzi's expression changed, and he raised his foot to go up and ask what was going on.
However, to his surprise, when he looked up, he found a young man had silently appeared on the Ice Throne, which should have been empty...
This sudden change terrified Tian Shuangzi, and he almost couldn't control himself and turned to run away.
Just how terrifying was someone who could appear on the Ice Throne silently, unnoticed by everyone present?
Tian Shuangzi couldn't even imagine.
However, he forcibly restrained himself from stepping forward...
because just as he looked at the other person, the other person's gaze also fell on him.
The moment the other person's gaze landed on him, Tian Shuangzi felt a tremendous fear engulf his entire body. Although a voice inside him kept telling him to run... at this moment, his body was completely unresponsive; he couldn't even move a single finger!
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why his Valley Master had stopped after striking a pose; it turned out to be for this reason…
At the last moment, a strange thought inexplicably appeared in Tian Shuangzi's mind.
A golden flame suddenly rose out of thin air, silently burning Binghe and Tian Shuangzi to ashes in an instant…
Even Little Fairy Doctor below was shocked by this method of killing.
A four-star Dou Zun, whom he thought was utterly incapable of resisting, couldn't even put up a fight against Mo Tang. Just how terrifying must the latter's strength be now?
Well, actually, this was just Mo Tang intentionally showing off in front of his woman.
This method seemed terrifying, but it was actually very simple…
As a supreme magical beast, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's pressure wasn't just effective against magical beasts with lower bloodlines; it was equally effective against humans. ◦•●◉✿ ➅➈丂н𝔲x.Ć𝐨м ✿◉●•◦
Given that Mo Tang's strength far surpassed Binghe's, Binghe and Tianshuangzi were naturally unable to break free under his Heavenly Phoenix pressure.
Then, with an attack of destructive lightning flames containing immense destructive power…
let alone a four-star Dou Zun like Binghe, even if he gained two more stars, he still wouldn't be qualified to directly face the lightning flames!
However, after seeing Binghe and Tianshuangzi turn to ashes, Mo Tang felt a pang of heartache… these were all his nourishment…
although the energy provided by a four-star Dou Zun and a one-star Dou Zun certainly wouldn't be enough to directly level him up, it should still be enough to reach the mid-stage of a seven-star Dou Zun.
This method of strengthening oneself using the bodies of strong individuals as nourishment is different from the system's energy conversion, because the former cannot be stored; instead, the energy is directly poured into Mo Tang's body, so this energy cannot be measured in precise energy points.
The deaths of Binghe and Tianshuangzi instantly stunned the remaining powerhouses of Binghe Valley.
Anyone with a modicum of sense could see the immense power of these two suddenly appearing figures…
Faced with such terrifying beings, they didn't even have the will to flee.
Looking at these people, Mo Tang pondered for a moment, then turned to Little Fairy Doctor, who was still staring blankly at him, and asked, "What do you intend to do with these people? Kill them?"
The moment the question was uttered, the people of Ice River Valley below froze, then looked at Little Fairy Doctor in terror.
Now, their lives depended entirely on this woman's words.
Elder Tian She, currently the strongest in Ice River Valley, swallowed hard, wanting to beg for mercy, but found himself unable to utter a sound.
However, Little Fairy Doctor clearly had no intention of arguing with these people. After recovering from Mo Tang's words, she replied without hesitation, "You decide."
"I see…"
Mo Tang pondered briefly, then looked at the people of Ice River Valley.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of black marks shot out from his palm, instantly disappearing into the bodies of everyone present.
"Your name is Tian She, right? Take these people and all the belongings of Ice River Valley to the Wind and Thunder Mountains. From now on, you will be members of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion... Don't even think about playing tricks or running away, otherwise those death seals that have entered your bodies will instantly devour your flesh and blood."
Tian She and the others, who had thought they were doomed, were overjoyed upon hearing this. Their previously stiff bodies instantly came to life, and they all knelt on one knee, pointing to the sky and swearing that they would do anything for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
As for those death seals, as long as we don't think about betraying them, everything will be fine, right?
Mo Tang had no patience for these guys' curses and oaths. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, there's no use saying so much now. You just need to do as I say. When you get to the Wind and Thunder Mountains, tell my master, Venerable Lei, that I sent you. From now on, Ice River Valley will be directly merged into my Wind and Thunder Pavilion..."
Although Mo Tang's strength was now far superior to Venerable Lei's, he was still his formally acknowledged master, and the relationship was still there. Mo Tang never thought of severing this connection.
Even if he couldn't be relied on for charging into battle, he could still manage miscellaneous affairs in the rear, which would be quite good.
After all, as long as this relationship existed, Venerable Lei was one of the people he trusted most.
Tian She left with a group of the original Ice River Valley elders...
Originally, this matter didn't cause much of a stir.
However, when Tian She led dozens of outer Dou Zong elders and most of the elite disciples of Ice River Valley, along with all of Ice River Valley's assets, to the Wind and Thunder Mountains and chose to join the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the entire Central Continent was in an uproar.
No matter what, Ice River Valley is one of the Three Valleys, far stronger than Wind and Thunder Pavilion...
Such a shrewd, snake-swallowing-an-elephant scenario is impossible in Central Continent, or even the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Because in this world, weakness is weakness, and strength is strength; all schemes and tricks are futile before power.
But now it has happened...
and Ice River Valley's master, Ice Venerable, and Grand Elder, Tian Shuangzi, have not shown themselves at all, leading many to speculate that they are dead.
The sudden fall of two veteran Venerable-level experts has caused quite a stir, even in Central Continent.
