The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1246 - 1239: Reap What You Sow

After Ning Batian sensed something unusual about the Ice Holy Land.

At the same time.

In the Hanbing Sect, inside the room of Ning Batian’s daughter, Ning Xuening.

With skin white as snow, Ning Xuening sat on a chair while the outer sect Elder Wang Hanmei stood before her.

Prior to this, Ning Xuening had sneaked out of the Hanbing Sect, which nearly led to her being harvested by the Sect Master of the Qingyang Sect. Of course, Ning Xuening was too ashamed to ask her father for justice, and she did not want anyone else in the sect to know about this incident. Therefore, she turned to Elder Wang Hanmei, whose power was more than capable of dealing with a mere Eighth Grade sect.

Of course, Ning Xuening had also promised Wang Hanmei that, should she help eradicate the Qingyang Sect, Ning Xuening would try to recommend her to become an elder of the inner sect of the Hanbing Sect.

Now, six days had passed since Ye Chenfeng was confined in the Ice Holy Land. The proud miss Ning Xuening had long forgotten about this person. In her eyes, she did not belong in the same world as Chenfeng, and she did not need to waste the effort to keep such a minor figure in her mind.

"Miss," Wang Hanmei cautiously inquired, "What about my promotion to an inner sect elder?" After all, Ning Xuening was the beloved princess of the entire Hanbing Sect, and Wang Hanmei dared not speak loudly in Ning Xuening’s presence.

Though only seventeen or eighteen years old, Ning Xuening feigned a mature demeanor. She nodded slightly and said, "Wait until tonight. I will mention your matter to my father. He has always loved me the most, so your entry into the inner sect is almost certain."

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you so much," Wang Hanmei said with joy. Being an inner sect elder was not just a difference in title; the cultivation resources available to inner sect elders were many times greater than those of outer sect elders. In cultivation, besides talent, one also relied heavily on abundant resources, which is why Wang Hanmei was so profusely grateful.

Just as Ning Xuening was about to dismiss Wang Hanmei, both she and Wang felt the Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy in the room thinning. They couldn’t help but look at the densely packed holes in the floor. Ning Xuening said with confusion, "What’s going on? Why is the ice attribute Spiritual Energy from the Ice Holy Land diminishing? Could there be some trouble in the Ice Holy Land?"

Ning Xuening never imagined that the culprit, Ye Chen, was involved. In her view, Chen was merely a person at the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm’s third layer; he was nothing but to be suppressed in the Ice Holy Land.

Ning Xuening quickly said, "Elder Wang, let’s go out and see."

As Ning Xuening left the room, all the disciples and elders of the Hanbing Sect came out of their rooms as well, and suddenly, discussions and panic erupted throughout the sect.

"What on earth is going on? Why is the Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy in my room diminishing?"

"Has this happened in your rooms too? Could there really be a problem with the Ice Holy Land? The cultivation of all the disciples in the Hanbing Sect depends on it!"

...

All the members of Hanbing Sect were hurriedly converging on the square; Ning Batian, the Sect Master of the Hanbing Sect, appeared on the square in an instant and bellowed, "Silence!"

The square immediately fell silent, but then a group hurriedly ran up to the square. The leader, an old man, said in a fluster, "Sect Master, the Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy in the ten trial rooms within the sect thinned out instantly. Could there really be serious trouble in the Ice Holy Land?"

At this, the square once again roiled with commotion. The trial rooms were where the Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy was most concentrated in the Hanbing Sect. Of course, the Spiritual Energy there came from the Ice Holy Land too, and only those who reached the strength of the Ocean Gathering Realm could enter the trial rooms to cultivate.

At this moment, even the trial rooms of the Hanbing Sect had issues. How could the disciples and elders of the Hanbing Sect remain calm?

The Sect Master, Ning Batian, furrowed his brows tightly and shouted, "The three core elders, come with me to check on the Ice Holy Land. The rest, stay in the square and wait for news."

Having said that, Ning Batian and three old men of notable strength immediately swept towards the direction of the Ice Holy Land.

Meanwhile, Ning Xuening in the crowd, was not one to sit still. She said to Wang Hanmei beside her: "Elder Wang, let’s sneak over and take a look too, don’t worry, I’ll take any responsibility."

Upon hearing Ning Xuening’s words, Wang Hanmei also hurried to the Ice Holy Land with Ning Xuening.

Soon, Ning Batian and three core Elders of the Hanbing Sect arrived at the entrance to the Hanbing Sect. Two Inner Elders guarding the Ice Holy Land immediately greeted Ning Batian and the others upon seeing them.

Ning Batian suddenly cast his gaze toward a big tree behind him and shouted, "Who’s hiding there?"

Ning Xuening walked out from behind the big tree with a twist, while Wang Hanmei followed closely behind, head bowing down.

Seeing it was his daughter, Ning Batian’s face softened a bit. He didn’t have time to reprimand the girl now, so he let her follow along and instructed the two Inner Elders guarding the Ice Holy Land: "Open the gates of the Ice Holy Land immediately."

The two Inner Elders pressed their hands against the mountain wall behind them, swiftly opened the gates of the Ice Holy Land, and then Ning Batian, the three core Elders, Ning Xuening, and Wang Hanmei all entered the Ice Holy Land.

After entering the Ice Holy Land, Ning Batian pointed in a direction to the right and said, "The Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy in the Ice Holy Land is all converging over there, let’s go and take a look immediately."

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

The scene before them shocked Ning Batian and the others. They saw a young man sitting in the snow, with white snow swirling around him. Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy poured into the young man’s body as if it was free of charge, and with his eyes tightly closed, Sword Qi roamed around him, his whole being like a dominant and sharp sword.

"Frosty Sword Intent? Is this kid comprehending the Frosty Sword Intent?"

"This kid isn’t just comprehending the Frosty Sword Intent; he’s about to master it."

"Who is this kid? How can he possibly comprehend the Frosty Sword Intent? Who confined such a freak in the Ice Holy Land? Apart from our ancestor who mastered the Frosty Sword Intent, no one else in the Hanbing Sect has been able to comprehend it."

The faces of the three core Elders of the Hanbing Sect were filled with disbelief as they stared intently at the young man not far away.

Ning Batian, the Sect Master of the Hanbing Sect, had a fierce look on his face. He knew he himself had tried to comprehend it in the Ice Holy Land for three whole years to no avail, but now an outsider confined here was about to grasp the Frosty Sword Intent? And was it this young man who caused such a commotion in the Hanbing Sect? Ning Batian felt like he was making wedding clothes for someone else.

As for Ning Xuening and Wang Hanmei, they recognized the young man as Ye Chenfeng the moment they saw him. They could clearly feel that Ye Chenfeng’s strength was at the late stage of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm, and he was still comprehending the Frosty Sword Intent, which only the ancestor of the Hanbing Sect had mastered. This gave Ning Xuening and Wang Hanmei a feeling of unreality. Was this the same youngster that they could easily crush to death six days ago?

Watching the Ice Attribute Spiritual Energy continuously flowing into Ye Chenfeng’s body in the Ice Holy Land, the usually proud Ning Xuening showed an angry expression. Instead of restricting Ye Chenfeng, the Ice Holy Land was helping him. This made Ning Xuening feel like she had been played, as she was fixated on Ye Chenfeng without blinking.

Wang Hanmei’s expression was extremely grave, for she had already deeply offended Ye Chenfeng. Considering Ye Chenfeng’s demonstrated aptitude, if he were allowed to live, it would spell death for Wang Hanmei in the future, so she must find a way to kill Ye Chenfeng.

It could be said that Ning Xuening and Wang Hanmei were reaping the consequences of their own actions.
