Chapter 1380: The Snow Clan: Beginnings and End

The Snow Clan woman, while Xie Tianhong was looking at Ye Liuyun to speak, kept shaking her head at Ye Liuyun, indicating that she should not believe Xie Tianhong's words.

Slap!

Xie Tianhong turned his hand and gave her a resounding slap, sending her soaring into the air and crashing into the ice wall behind.

She now has no realm, and Xie Tianhong's strike instantly knocked her out.

If she hit the wall again, death would be almost certain.

Ye Liuyun flashed forward and intercepted her.

Xie Tianhong's palm split her cheekbones.

He immediately withdrew his strength; otherwise the woman would have been dead long ago!

Xie Tianhong originally felt some regret and wanted to step in to rescue the woman.

Seeing Ye Liuyun move, he stayed where he was.

This woman is extremely important; later they will need her to open Xuecheng, so she cannot die now.

Ye Liuyun immediately produced a Healing Elixir, activated it with Mysterious Origin, and slowly transmitted its potency to the injured spot on her cheek.

She has no realm and cannot even endure the medicine's power, so this is the only way to treat her wound.

"Brother Xie, this isn't like your usual behavior, is it?"

Ye Liuyun complained about Xie Tianhong.

"Alas! It's those Snow Clan women who are so hateful, inciting us.

I too was angered by them, and my strike was a bit heavy in the heat of the moment!"

Xie Tianhong sighed and explained.

"This woman, let me take care of her for now!"

Ye Liuyun offered proactively.

"This…" Xie Tianhong hesitated.

"That's settled! If you hit her two more times, you'll kill her!"

Ye Liuyun unhesitatingly made the decision.

"I'm worried you fell for her trick!"

Xie Tianhong retorted.

"Do you think I lack even this little discernment?"

Ye Liuyun countered.

"Fine!"

Xie Tianhong also agreed.

"I've held back for so long; I won't miss this moment!"

Xie Tianhong thought to himself.

He also believed Ye Liuyun wouldn't harm the Snow Clan woman, so he felt at ease.

"But you must use Divine Sense to seal her Divine Soul Power."

Xie Tianhong reminded.

In that short time, although the woman was unconscious, she involuntarily absorbed Divine Soul Power, attracting many snow elves.

"Alright!"

Ye Liuyun also agreed and immediately used Divine Sense to isolate her Divine Soul Power.

Only then did Xie Tianhong relax a bit, but his Divine Sense kept constantly watching that Snow Clan woman.

After a while, Ye Liuyun finished treating her, saw she hadn't awakened, and took the chance to ask Xie Tianhong: "Can we use Soul to awaken her?"

"I fear she might not wake for a while, wasting time."

"Yes! Brother Ye, you are kind‑hearted; later when you meet a swindler, you'll suffer!"

Xie Tianhong added a sigh.

"It's fine; good people always get good rewards!"

Ye Liuyun said casually.

So he immediately performed a Soul Search on the woman's Soul.

He had just asked Xie Tianhong to confirm whether there was any restriction in the woman's Sea of Consciousness.

If a restriction existed, he could not let Ye Liuyun awaken her with Divine Sense, otherwise the restriction would be triggered instantly.

Now that Xie Tianhong confirmed, Ye Liuyun could take the opportunity to Soul Search for information.

Although the woman's Soul was weak, the information was relatively intact.

With a single Soul Search, Ye Liuyun instantly grasped everything.

The Snow Clan, thousands of years ago, was the strongest presence on this continent.

The conditions of Xueyu were uniquely favorable, with exceptionally abundant resources.

Because they were so powerful, many minor forces repeatedly sought their aid to fight wars.

However, the Snow Clan favored peace, dwelling deep within Xueyu and never taking part in other continental conflicts.

So some schemers employed every trick to lure them into action, even sometimes dragging war into Xueyu.

Others, vying for these resources, also entered Xueyu, turning it into a haze of smoke and chaos.

Thus, when resources were plentiful, the Snow Clan built Xuecheng, hid all resources inside, and the entire clan migrated into the Secret Realm overnight to avoid external interference.

From then on, the Snow Clan vanished with massive resources, and people gradually forgot them.

Yet there are always persistent people who come by to take a look.

And some descendants of the Snow Clan still yearn for the outside world.

Thus, by a chance opportunity, a young adventurer surnamed Luo, following an expedition team, came here to try his luck when he encountered danger; the whole team died except him.

At his critical moment, he was saved by a Snow Tribe girl who had slipped out.

This Luo-surnamed youth immediately used sweet talk to win the heart of this Snow Tribe woman.

After they fell in love, that Snow Tribe woman brought that Luo-surnamed youth back to Xuecheng.

Xuecheng originally had many people opposed.

However, this woman was the daughter of the then Snow Kingdom's monarch.

Thus the monarch merely restricted that Luo-surnamed youth's range of activity, placing him under house arrest in the palace, which amounted to tacit approval of their marriage.

At first few years, that Luo-surnamed youth was actually very honest.

But after he became accustomed, he discovered that most Snow Kingdom people were easily deceived.

Unlike outsiders who are constantly scheming against each other.

Thus, within the Snow Kingdom's Royal Palace, he also thrived, gaining great fame, able to speak with anyone, and everyone gradually accepted him.

This Luo-surnamed youth was named Luo Qinghe, the grandfather of the present Nan Xiang Empire's emperor Luo Yi.

After a few years, Xuecheng also encountered a major problem.

These people were Martial Cultivators, with high realms, and could draw unlimited power from Xueyu, hardly ever dying.

As the Snow Tribe's population grew, Xuecheng could no longer accommodate them.

Thus, people diverged on how to handle the excess population.

Luo Qinghe also took the opportunity to stir things up, even playing at assassination, finally causing the Snow Tribe to erupt in a great war.

That war caused the Snow Tribe to nearly lose half its population, and even the monarch finally fell victim to a plot and died in battle.

Afterward, Luo Qinghe again began to stir up the princes' struggle for the throne.

The Snow Tribe began to collapse from within; after several wars, its strength was greatly diminished.

Luo Qinghe finally supported the princess to ascend the monarch's throne, but the princess originally knew nothing about state affairs; he issued all orders, and the princess became a Kuailei.

Afterward, he began to hunt down opposing forces, killing them one by one, and started to strongly oppress the Snow Tribe people.

This provoked a great uprising among the Snow Tribe.

The princess also finally discovered Luo Qinghe's deeds.

But Luo Qinghe beforehand took the gathered large amount of resources and fled Xueyu.

From then on for many years, Luo Qinghe hid everywhere, fearing discovery by the Snow Tribe.

As for the princess, she committed suicide on the spot to apologize to the entire tribe.
