Chapter 2512: Chapter 2513: The Strength of the Mark

"Let’s see who dares to act!" The Ice Princess was instantly furious!

Inside, it felt like a basin of cold water had been poured over her. Since even the Vice Clan Leader said so, at least the clan rules were now ineffective against Shui Yuehan.

Moreover, in this short time, Qiong Yao was already wounded, seemingly about to be captured by these protectors.

Previously, these protectors held back because they were all protectors, and Shui Yuehan had a rather Nameless aura about her!

But now it’s different; they’re no longer Princess Xiu’s guards, but Shui Yuehan’s protectors!

Qiong Yao’s resistance against Shui Yuehan was sheer rebellion, betrayal! Even if she were to be killed, it would be a justified action.

Therefore, these protectors immediately seemed invigorated, all enhancing their attack power.

This made Qiong Yao unable to hold on any longer. She might be stronger than these protectors, but only marginally so; how could she withstand the combined force of eleven guards?

"Stop!"

Seeing Qiong Yao’s situation, the Ice Princess roared, whipping out her lash towards these protectors.

Her strength was naturally inferior to these protectors, but the problem was, these protectors could only dodge but not counterattack when facing the Ice Princess’s attacks!

"How dare you!" Seeing this scene, Shui Yuehan was infuriated as well, "Stop her for me!"

Immediately, two elders descended from the sky, surrounding the Ice Princess.

"Get out of my way!" The Ice Princess shouted angrily, brandishing her whip.

"Ice Princess, spare the old servant’s rudeness!"

With that, one of the elders unleashed his mana, instantly restraining the Ice Princess! Now, the Ice Princess could only stare angrily at the two, unable to move.

"Dare to attack the Ice Princess, do you think Qingxiu Peak is nonexistent?"

The Third Master immediately scoffed, alongside several other experts, confronting the two elders.

In fact, these experts knew each other well, having met and clashed before, their strengths roughly equal.

Thus, when the two elders saw the Third Master, they immediately gave a cheerful smile.

"Don’t keep Qingxiu Peak on your lips. The Moonwater Tribe has always been merciful, not acting against Qingxiu Peak. But the clan has its dignity; if you overstep, you’re aware of the consequences!" One elder spoke unceremoniously.

In terms of timing, the Third Master could feel Shui Yuehan’s attitude; it wouldn’t be long before action was taken against Qingxiu Peak.

However, he also worried. Even though Qingxiu Peak had some experts and a mysterious Great Array for protection, ultimately, it wasn’t the Moonwater Tribe’s opponent, with a considerable disparity.

"Hmph, we haven’t intended to challenge the Moonwater Tribe. Free the Ice Princess, and we won’t interfere!"

The Third Master also felt regret for Ye Luo, but his task was to ensure the Ice Princess’s safety, whatever the reason, avoiding risk.

"I trust your words. I can release the Ice Princess, but you mustn’t disrupt the Cold Princess’s plans!" the elder said.

"Alright!" After contemplating for a moment, the Third Master agreed with a nod.

Beside him, the Ice Princess’s body couldn’t move, but her facial expression showed urgency; clearly, she wanted to save Qiong Yao.

Currently, she thought Ye Luo was already gone; Qiong Yao was Ye Luo’s sister, so she couldn’t just stand by.

The elder didn’t say more and immediately withdrew his mana, freeing the Ice Princess.

"Third Master!"

"Ice Princess, if you continue causing trouble, you’ll only put your life at risk, and even Qingxiu Peak might be lost!" The Third Master said gravely.

He knew that, despite the Ice Princess’s youth, she was someone who prioritized the bigger picture. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother lecturing her and would have taken her back to Qingxiu Peak directly.

The Ice Princess bit her lip, nodding slowly after a while.

"Unexpectedly, I owe Ye Luo once more for failing to protect his sister!" The Ice Princess sighed.

Hearing this, the Third Master didn’t know how to comfort her, so he chose to remain silent.

By this time, Qiong Yao was already in a precarious situation!

"If that’s the case, then we’ll perish together!" Qiong Yao shouted, her long hair flying in the wind, her aura becoming wildly chaotic.

She was actually using a secret technique, intending to detonate her body.

"Hmph, who do you think you are, wishing to die so easily? Seal it!"

Apparently, these eleven protectors were well-prepared, immediately casting their mana to forcibly calm her chaotic aura.

This was equivalent to stopping her secret technique before it began, forcibly suppressing it.

Pfft!

A large mouthful of blood spewed from Qiong Yao’s mouth; with her secret technique suppressed, she naturally suffered a backlash. Already severely injured, her morale became even more depleted.

Moreover, right now, her strength was largely sealed, leaving her completely at the mercy of her enemies.

"Hmph, usually so arrogant, but now it’s your turn!"

"You’ve only been at Moonwater Palace for a few days. Why should you lead the Twelve Protectors!"

Several protectors scoffed, showing evident disdain they usually held towards Qiong Yao.

Qiong Yao didn’t bother with their words, just gazing at the sky, her expression calm, with unexpectedly a hint of smile on her face.

"Finally meeting again?"

"Courting death! Dare to ignore our words!"

One protector immediately attacked her.

The other protectors only remembered that a few days ago Qiong Yao had slain one protector’s maid, who was actually this protector’s sister! This grudge was immense, and now was the time to settle it; she wouldn’t miss this chance.

Moreover, even protectors nearby were caught off guard, not to mention others!

"Damn, who allowed you to act freely?" Shui Yuehan’s face immediately changed. She never intended to take Qiong Yao’s life.

However, the attack already landed on Qiong Yao; even if Moonwater Tribe’s ancestors appeared, it might be too late.

But without a life-or-death crisis, or a strong enemy invading, those ancestors wouldn’t appear.

Even with disciples attacking Shui Yuehan, the acting Clan Leader, they wouldn’t blink an eye.

The Ice Princess clenched her fists, understanding that Qiong Yao’s fate seemed bleak.

Just when everyone thought Qiong Yao would perish, a dazzling white light suddenly emitted from her body, blocking the attack!

"It’s the power of the seal!" a protector exclaimed.

In fact, as soon as this light shone, the seals on other protectors reacted as well.
