Chapter 2: The Celestial Fairy
When Yi Ping regained his consciousness, he found hihts were that he had already died and he was in hell But when he saw that his wounds had already been dressed and that he was aching painfully, he knew that somehoas still alive
That was because a dead man would never feel pain
Then he noticed there was a small bonfire in the cave which kept the cave warm
He tried to sit up and that took all his efforts As he looked in front of hi and extremely beautifulbut before he could say anything, thelips and spoke, “You should rest more Your wounds are extremely severe and you may lose your life because of that”
Yi Ping stared at her dreaine it was real!
The alluring ently, “Why are you staring at esture to stare? And who are you?”
Yi Ping was snapped of his trance and he quickly boith his hands, “Maiden, I thank you for savingam in your debts! May I know my benefactor name?”
The alluring young maiden said coolly, “They are not the Three Evils of the West They are imposters and their martial skills are y protecting you, you will still die”
Yi Ping was bewildered and asked, “What Icy Heavenly Tears Energy?”
The alluring young maiden was silence for some time before she said, “You can call é master? Why did you come to the Heavenly Mountains?”
Yi Ping replied, “I have no protégé ht…”
Maiden Xian opened her eyes and interrupted angrily, “Nonsense! I have examined your pulses earlier and your pulses ey Pulses That is what is protecting your heart from harm Or else even if you have ten lives, you still will not survive!”
Yi Ping was astonished and puzzled, “Maiden…this is the first time that I have heard of that name…”
Maiden Xian looked intently at him for a few moments before she said, “Do you know Shui Yichi?”
Yi Ping said, “Maiden, I do not want to lie to you She is my late mother!”
Maiden Xian wasin a low voice, “She is no longer in this world?” She see was that?”
Yi Ping was curious as he said, “She passed ahen I was little…” His eyes were teething with tears as he recalled his sad childhood “Maiden Xian, you know my late mother?”
Then he paused and almost punched himself How could she possible know his late er than twenty Even he himself, was older than her!
Just as he was recovering froave him another shocker
“Indeed! She was é sister She left the Eternal Ice Palace twenty-years because of one y to you…that explains why I can find our sect intricate energy in your body meridians…”
Just as he wanted to ask her who she really was, a wicked laughter filled the cave; a large bulky ht
The red beard hed, “If it isn’t for this bonfire here, I would never find this place! What have we here? A couple?”
Maiden Xian said, “He is Huo Fu the Fla Fist, the sect leader of the Fire Tablet Sect He must be here to look for an opportunity to loot the Eternal Ice Palace”
The red beard hed, “I didn’t know I ailists can identifycold and this fire is just nice!” But all of a sudden, he took a second look at the dress of Maiden Xian and said, “You are from the Eternal Ice Palace?”
Maiden Xian looked at hiht!”
Huo Fu laughed, “Good, good! You have two options Either you show me the way to the Eternal Ice Palace or be subjected to my merciless torture I can assure you that I won’t let you die so easily” He took a deep breath before laughing out again, “After all, I can see that you are a rare beauty and I won’t let you die so easily”
Yi Ping was shocked as he stood up, “The Fire Tablet Sect may not be an orthodox clan but they do have some repute in the ?”
Huo Fu had a wicked smile on his face, “Who do not covet after the martial secrets of the Eternal Ice Palace? Now that the Celestial Fairy had passed away, countless legions of pugilists have already beenthem, are several supposedly heroes from the orthodox clans Naturally, they did not dare to use their real names Souise for they are h repute in the fraternity! When it is time for them to strike, they willthat they are righting the wrongdoings of evil men!”
Yi Ping hummed coldly
Huo Fu looked at hiht you are on round for men Surely, you can’t be from the Eternal Ice Palace too?”
Then Huo Fu clapped his right fist on his left palue of the martial fraternity is not to be underestimate!”
He pointed his finger at Yi Ping and said, “YouYou are trying to be the first to sneak into the Eternal Ice Palace, aht?”
Yi Ping was speechless He replied coldly, “Senior, you think too much!”
Maiden Xian looked away Her cheeks were momentarily flushed from his audacity
Huo Fu laughed, “The young uses their hile the old uses their strength!”
Yi Ping was indignant and he raised both his palms to attack Huo Fu, “Senior, be prepared for my attack!”
Huo Fu suddenly smiled as he raised both his palms and there was a thunderous clap when both pal backward, knocking against the wall of the cave and crushi+ng into it!
Maiden Xian got up as she cried out, “Hold!”
But it was too late! It happened too fast! She could see that this Huo Fu was an experienced exponent He had purposely provoked Yi Ping into attacking him so that he could see what stance his opponent would use As Yi Ping ith her, and was still wary of the martial of the Eternal Ice Palace therefore he had used a ruse
Huo Fu laughed, “Such si so that I am the sect leader of the Fire Tablet Sect, he still dares to receive my Fiery Palms When he attacks th!”
He looked intently at Maiden Xian, “You seem to be smarter than him but unfortunately, your reaction is too slow That speaks voluth differences If your martial skill is to be on par with me, you will be able to intercept him”
This Huo Fu, even though he was big and bulky, see and experienced exponent! If he was not, hoill he be able to survive in the treacherous martial fraternity? He would have died a hundred times over!
Maiden Xian had no choice but to nod slowly Even though she looked composed, she was extremely upset now
Huo Fu laughed aloud, “Now maiden, will you choose to tell me the location of the Eternal Ice Palace on your own accord or will you choose to die a slow death?”
Maiden Xian full name was Shui Yixian Shui Yixian was none other than the Celestial Fairy and the sectarian leader of the Eternal Ice Palace
But as she here? She was supposed to have passed away already? Was she not a ninety- year old woman?
The Icy Heavenly Tears Divine Skill was a secret martial skill of the Eternal Ice Palace When the practitioner reached the ninth and the last stage, they would cease to age Unfortunately, every thirty-six years after reaching the last stage, the practitioner martial poould be lost for thirty-six days In order to regain the lost martial power, the practitioner would have to relearn the intricate forain
She had attained the ninth stage of the Icy Heavenly Tears when she was eighteen years old That hy she had ceased aging and looked like eighteen! She was considered a y For hundreds of years, none of the past practitioners had ever reached the ninth stage of the Icy Heavenly Tears before they were fifty and half of thee of the divine skill Even her e of the Icy Heavenly Tears when she was only fifty-five
There were only two exceptions One was her and the other was her oldest protégé sister
