The Talentless Sect Master Chosen By The System Chapter 137: Threat

Back in the majestic palace made of ice, even the flooring were of smooth ice and the initially lush trees and bushes were now coated with snow and traces of frost.

The servants with lower cultivation may have been suffering and if they couldn't cope with the coldness, they would be offered two choices. The formal would be for them to change their occupation and leave everything behind to work for another family, the latter would be for them to do tough labour at another area under the Ice family control, such as planting and the rearing of livestock that can't handle the cold temperature.

Despite the harsh conditions, many servants insisted on staying behind for the lucrative pay, those who were physically weaker would opt to be transferred somewhere else despite the harsh sixty percent decrease in salary. Even so, the pay would still be ten times more compared to the average.

Back in the castle, the alchemist was currently standing face to face against Simon and was even addressing him by his name directly, making all the advisors in the room curious of his true ident.i.ty. One has to know that in the Voyager Kingdom, even the top alchemist at the first divine realm could only stand on equal terms with Simon.

"Alchemist Xian, I believe that all the requirements which you have extorted from me has already been fulfilled. If that's the case, shouldn't you fulfill your end of the promise?" Simon questioned fiercely as he slammed his fist onto the throne, his fury sending spikes of ice into everyone's heart.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha... Simon, do you really think that I'm incompetent of suppressing your daughter's illness and even freeing her from the cold?" Alchemist Xian countered back as he took out what seems like a scroll and threw it towards Simon.

"Take it, read the effects of the elixir pill and the materials needed to form the product before you question me any further. If you still doubt my skills and knowledge after this, then I'll gladly take my leave and find another master to serve." Alchemist Xian stated and explained patiently, not forgetting to threaten Simon before closing his eyes to wait for the verdict.

Opening the time worn scroll, the ink which was showing signs of fading gradually came back to life when the ice gradually traced the characters out.

[Divine Defrost Pill]

When reading the scroll contents, his face changed from that of solemnity to shock and even surprise as the scroll dropped onto the floor.

The chair of advisors who were sitting on their chairs, were having the impulse to just stand up and question Simon just what in the world is going on right now. One moment they were having a discussion about his daughter and now they have to deal with a c.o.c.ky Alchemist?

The only thought going around their mind right now was that Simon was fooling with them, Simon may be at the fourth DemiG.o.d transformation of the seven while they might only be at the first or second transformation, but if he keeps up this arrogance and treats them as air, then they'll work together to show him just how foolish he was.

"So, head of the Ice palace Simon, do you regret making me think twice about serving you now? You should know about your daughter's body const.i.tution much better than me and yet you actually pushed the blame onto me?" Fury was in his voice as he stomped out of the meeting room before anyone could react.

"Alchemist Xian wait! Just what is it that you want of me right now!" Simon called out anxiously as he jumped out of his throne, ice particles gathering at the exit as a wall made of ice blocked the Alchemist.

Foolish dog! The Alchemist mocked within his heart as he turned around, a curve forming on his lips as he asked "Simon Ice, the deal between us is over. But if you can give me one of those magical frost shards, I might consider letting you in on your daughter's current situation."

His voice sounded calm yet threatening, pa.s.sing through the ice wall as though as it wasn't there before returning, the top realm of the laws of s.p.a.ce.

"Are you out of you hand? Even our Ice palace has only managed to gather four magical frost shards these years and are currently lacking six of them!"

"If you really want the magical frost shards that much, then you should at least get our permit for it!"

"That's right, all of us risked our lives for those magical frost shards and you expect to have it just because you asked? Who do you think you..."

Before the last advisor could finish, a icicle had already pierced through his arm, causing him to cry out in pain as his body collapsed on the ground.

"Argh! My arm! Just what have you done, why can't I feel my arm at all!" The advisor shrieked once again in fear as tears started flooding down his wrinkled face like a leaking tap.

"Beg me." Alchemist Xian mentioned coldly, his hood covering his grim face. Yet the solemn atmosphere was already too heavy to be lifted off.

"I..." The advisor hesitated for a moment, but the words were still contained within his throat in the end, at least before he heard the next sentence.

"Your arm will be crippled for life within five minutes without the cure."

"What? Please, Alchemist Xian! I'm only a thousand years old and still have a long lifespan to live. I don't wish to die before enjoying the last moments of my glory!" The advisor got up on his knees and kowtowed, even though he felt the burn on his cheeks from the intense stare of everyone in the room, his life was still of paramount importance compared to his pride.

"Hahahaha! Very well. Simon Ice, so this is the mindset your elite batch of advisors have? They're just a bunch of weak, pathetic fools who can't even maintain the pride of your all majestic Ice palace!" Alchemist Xian retorted fiercely as he threw a glacier coloured pill into that advisors mouth.

"You'll keep your arm, but the reputation you have built up over the past thousand years will go off in a poof of smoke. You'll lose your standing in the Ice palace from now on. And you bunch of advisors, lets see how you deal with this situation after I leak the recording stone.

"Alchemist Xian! I'll agree to give you two of those magical frost fragments so as long as you promise to let me know about my daughter's condition and keep this matter a secret from the public!" Simon shouted at the top of his voice as he started to breathe heavily, how long has it been since someone challenged his authority and he's left powerless?

"Simon Ice, how can I trust you again after what you've just done?" Alchemist Xian pushed on further, turning a blind eye to Simon who currently had his right fist smashed onto the throne.

"Then tell me, just what is it that you want besides the two magical frost fragments!" Simon fully released his aura as the advisors all around smashed onto the bone freezing walls as it permeated through their skin.

"Argh! Palace head, please come down!"

"Someone tell me just who he is!"

Those were the last calls by those DemiG.o.d realms advisors before they collapsed on the ground, losing their consciousness to the chaos going on before their eyelids.

"Simple, I want the enchanted magical crystal heart to activate the Ancient Ruins of Ice lost in the history of time.
