Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1519: Foreign Lands, Profound Sect's Ruthlessness

“Hmm! Let’s go for it!”

Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and swallowed several “Nourishing Spirit Pills” in succession, restoring some energy before he continued to wield the “Boundary-Breaking Sword”, slashing upwards to carve open a path.

Li Yunjing desperately tried to open the pathway, but what was even more despairing was that behind the ice wall was a thousand-foot-thick layer of ice!

“It’s over…”

Su Muqing’s face turned pale.

Li Yunjing suddenly gazed at the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” in his hand, a glint of determination in his eyes: “Everyone, come close to me!”

He suddenly infused all his mana into the sword body, and the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” let out a crisp, eerie howl, with countless runes appearing densely on the sword body.

“Heaven’s Open!”

With a thunderous shout, the space where the sword edge passed was ripped apart!

Before everyone’s eyes, a pitch-black spatial rift appeared.

“Go!”

Li Yunjing grabbed the others and leapt in.

Just as their figures vanished, the entire ice cave collapsed with a roar!

…

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar snowfield.

Tie Zhan and the other two collapsed onto the ground, their faces filled with the relief of surviving a catastrophe.

Li Yunjing groaned, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Full exertion with the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” was too burdensome.

“Yunjing!”

Zhao Qi hurriedly took out a healing elixir.

Li Yunjing waved his hand and looked at Tie Zhan and the others: “You can go now.”

Tie Zhan paused, then rejoiced: “Thank you, senior, for sparing us!”

After speaking, he intended to take his two junior brothers and leave.

“Wait.”

Li Yunjing suddenly called out to them, “About today’s events…”

“If we leak even a word, we shall be consumed by heart demons, our souls scattered!”

Tie Zhan immediately caught on and pledged an oath to the sky.

His two junior brothers followed suit, making their own vows.

“Hmm! By the way, where are you all from?”

Li Yunjing, just as he was about to let them go, suddenly thought of something and asked.

“Replying to senior, the three of us hail from the Northern Territory’s ‘Cold Iron Gate’, and we are elders of the sect.”

Tie Zhan stopped, turned, and answered respectfully.

“Northern Territory?”

Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows slightly: “So, you’re from Cang Country?”

Upon hearing this, Su Muqing was shocked, not expecting people from Cang Country had come to Great Ming, which is indeed taboo.

“Yes! We come from Cang Country!”

Tie Zhan repeated himself, somewhat puzzled.

“Alright! We were just planning to head to Cang Country, tell us about it.”

Wang Zifeng nodded and asked directly.

Cang Country is also a country on the “Southern Heaven Continent”, just like Great Ming and Youyue Country.

However, Cang Country is located at the northernmost tip of the “Southern Heaven Continent”, controlled by a powerful Profound Sect.

This sect is the “Ice Hall”.

“Ice Hall” and “Shenxiao Dao Sect” have almost no relation, with one in the south and one in the north.

“Ice Hall” controls the northern routes, being an important commercial hub between continents.

The sect gains abundant wealth through the barriers it sets up, which is all recorded in the “Shenxiao Jade Scroll”.

“Senior can see clearly, Cang Country is outwardly ruled by the royal family, but in truth, it is completely controlled by ‘Ice Hall’.”

Tie Zhan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully: “The Xiao Family royal family is just a puppet, even the crown prince is a registered disciple of the ‘Ice Hall’ Hall Master.”

“Continue.”

Li Yunjing nodded thoughtfully.

“Yes.”

Tie Zhan swallowed, “The ‘Ice Hall’ is divided into three halls and six institutes. Hall Master Han Wujian has Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, supposedly in seclusion to impact the Divinity Transformation Stage. The hall also has three late-stage Nascent Soul elders in charge of…”

“We know about that.”

Zhao Qi suddenly interrupted: “Tell us about any special events in recent years.”

“Recently, the ‘Ice Hall’ has been secretly capturing cultivators with special physiques.”

Tie Zhan shivered as he seemed to recall something, speaking in a low voice: “Our ‘Cold Iron Gate’ had two disciples with Ice Spirit Roots disappear…”

“When did this happen?”

Su Muqing’s pupils contracted; such news is terrifying.

In any sect or clan, top-grade Spirit Root cultivators are valuable assets, so what is their purpose in capturing such people secretly?

“Just half a year ago.”

Tie Zhan’s junior brother interrupted, “It’s said that other sects and clans also faced similar incidents, but no one dares to speak up.”

“Hey! That ‘Ice Hall’ is clandestine; must be up to no good!”

Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed with cold light: “How are the current trade routes? Are they smooth? There’s no issue with the passage to ‘Luofu Continent’, right?”

Tie Zhan and the others turned pale after hearing this.

By this time, the trio realized that the man and two women before them are from the “Shenxiao Dao Sect,” intending to travel to other continents, passing through the “Northern Territory!”

“Senior, ever since ‘Ice Hall’ took control of the trade route, the northern passage to ‘Luofu Continent’ has been tightly regulated.”

Tie Zhan took a deep breath and answered cautiously: “Now, everyone needs to have a ‘Profound Ice Order’ to pass.”

“Profound Ice Order?”

Li Yunjing’s brows furrowed: “What’s that?”

“It’s… it’s this.”

Tie Zhan’s other junior brother added, “Each token requires a payment of one million Low Grade Spirit Stones, and must be inspected by the ‘Profound Celestial Mirror’…”

“Huge appetite!”

Su Muqing snorted coldly: “One million Low Grade Spirit Stones just as a toll fee?”

“You mentioned the ‘Profound Celestial Mirror’ inspection?”

Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something: “What does that mean?”

“That mirror is very eerie!”

Tie Zhan’s face turned ugly: “It’s said to be able to reveal a cultivator’s origins and cultivation technique route. Last month, a Shenxiao… Uh…”

He suddenly realized he had slipped and quickly shut his mouth.

“Continue.”

Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed coldly, sternly asking.

Tie Zhan steeled himself to say: “Last month a cultivator suspected to be from the ‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’ Golden Core Realm Great Perfection attempted to pass, and after being exposed by the ‘Profound Celestial Mirror’… was immediately frozen into a statue, now displayed at the entry for everyone to see…”
