Martial Peak

Chapter 1657, Aftermath

-Pure Ice Island-

Inside a rebuilt ice palace, all the leaders of Ice Heart Valley gathered.

Luo Li sat at the head of the hall with Bing Long, Ran Yun Ting, and the other Elders all sitting to either side of her while one Elder was reporting on the progress of restoring the various barriers and Spirit Arrays on the island.

The last shocking battle had destroyed almost every barrier around Pure Ice Island, so the disciples had been busy repairing all of them until today, when they finally finished.

However, the collapsed ice peaks could never be returned to their former glory. Fortunately, the disciples had all evacuated early so there were no casualties, the only bit of good news from the entire incident.

Luo Li kept her eyes closed until the Elder finished her report before gently nodding but not speaking.

Bing Long glanced at her, then turned to look at another person and asked, “Thirteenth Elder, is there any news about that person?”

Hearing this, Thirteenth Elder Yu Xue Qing shook her head solemnly, “No, we looked for him for an entire year before but never found any trace of him. If he had not shown up at that time of his own accord, we might still be unable to find him. This time, if he wants to deliberately conceal his location, there is nothing we can do to find him.”

“En!” Bing Long sighed.

“There’s no need to look for him!” Luo Li suddenly opened her eyes and said lightly.

“Supreme Elder…”

“He doesn’t want us to find him, so how could we? Besides, after such a battle, he must be busy healing.”

“Healing?” Bing Long and the others raised their brows as they looked a little surprised, but they quickly understood, “What Supreme Elder means is…”

“He used a power far beyond his own means, so he clearly must have paid a heavy price as well,” Luo Li said lightly.

“So, he’s currently wounded?” Ran Yun Ting’s eyes lit up and a hint of eagerness flashed across her face, “If that is the case, then we could…”

Before she could finish her words, however, Luo Li suddenly opened her eyes and shot her a cold glare, causing Ran Yun Ting to immediately fall silent, unable to speak a word.

“My Ice Heart Valley enduring until this day has not been easy, and my most earnest wish is not to make Ice Heart Valley rise, but to ensure our ancestral foundation is not destroyed. Do you understand?” Luo Li’s beautiful eyes swept around, revealing an endless majesty.

Everyone shivered as they understood the meaning of Luo Li’s words, quickly getting up and respectfully saying, “Disciple understands.”

“As long as you understand, don’t go provoking disaster for Ice Heart Valley.”

Ran Yun Ting’s face turned pale as she tremblingly spoke, “Disciple knows her wrongs!”

Luo Li nodded lightly, satisfied with her attitude, before suddenly smiling, “Let all those who we sent out to look for him return, he will come back on his own eventually.”

“He’ll come back?” One Elder’s complexion changed drastically. The day Yang Kai killed Luo Hai in battle, he had truly frightened them, so the thought that he would return to Pure Ice Island again at some point suddenly made them a little nervous.

Bing Long seemed to understand and smiled, “He left someone here on Pure Ice Island, so naturally he’ll come back for her.”
