Outside the Blood River Palace, the tense atmosphere of the war was not completely dissipated, but Su Xueli received a secret letter from the Fairyland. The familiar handwriting on the envelope made her heart tighten suddenly. It was the handwriting of her father Su Zhantian. Su Xueli's hands trembled slightly, and she subconsciously looked around, as if she was afraid that the contents of the letter would be spied on by others. At this moment, Duan Litang was discussing strategies to deal with the Dark Palace with everyone in the Blood River Palace, Ling Xian'er was recuperating in the room, and Tang Xiaotang was helping to prepare battle supplies.

  Su Xueli took a deep breath and slowly opened the envelope. When she unfolded the letter, her father's strong and powerful handwriting came into view: "If Duan Litang is indeed a descendant of God, kill him to save the fairyland." Just a few words, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. Su Xueli's eyes became empty in an instant, she couldn't believe what she saw. In her heart, Duan Litang was the one who fought side by side with her and protected the world, the one she loved deeply, but now her father wanted her to kill him with her own hands.

  Su Xueli continued to read on, and the "Lingxian Seal" at the end of the letter made her body freeze instantly. She was very familiar with this seal, it was her mother's seal. Her mother was the daughter of Lingxian Sect who disappeared three hundred years ago. Su Xueli's thoughts instantly drifted back to her childhood, and her mother's gentle smile and warm embrace seemed to be still in front of her. She always thought that her mother was just missing, and maybe she would meet again one day, but now this seal appeared in her father's letter, and countless questions surged in her heart. What is the relationship between her mother and this letter? Why did her father use her mother's seal to emphasize the importance of this letter?

  Su Xueli's heart was in a mess, she didn't know how to face all this. She recalled every bit of her acquaintance with Duan Litang, the adventures they had experienced together, the difficulties they had overcome together, every moment was filled with warmth and trust. Now, her father asked her to make such a cruel choice on the grounds of the safety of the fairyland. Su Xueli held the letter tightly, her nails sank into her palms, leaving shallow marks. She was struggling painfully in her heart, on one hand, her deep love for Duan Litang, on the other hand, her responsibility for the fairyland and her father's orders.

  Unconsciously, Su Xueli came to the Lingxian Lake behind the Blood River Palace. The lake water was clear and reflected the gloomy clouds in the sky, as if they were also sad for her mood at the moment. Su Xueli stood by the lake, and the letter in her hand was rustling in the wind. She looked at the lake, her eyes full of confusion and pain. "What should I do? How can I kill Li Tang? He is innocent." She murmured to herself, and her voice echoed in the empty lakeside, but no one could give her an answer.

  Su Xueli's tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the letter. She looked at the handwriting soaked with tears, and the pain in her heart became more intense. She knew that once Duan Litang knew about this letter, their relationship would be completely broken, and she would be in an irreparable situation. But how could she disobey her father's orders and disregard the safety of the fairyland?

  In extreme pain and entanglement, Su Xueli slowly raised the letter, her eyes full of determination. "I'm sorry, Litang, I can't let the fairyland fall into danger." She choked and said, then tore the letter into pieces. Pieces of paper fell like snowflakes, and were blown by the breeze on the lake and drifted in different directions.

  However, at this moment, an accident happened. A drop of blood dripped from Su Xueli's palm and landed on a piece of shredded paper. Strangely, the drop of blood was not absorbed by the paper, but spread rapidly on the shredded paper. Then, the shredded paper began to change, and it gradually turned into the shape of a butterfly, with a strange blood-red light flashing on its wings. The other shredded paper was also affected, and they turned into butterflies under the effect of the blood. They flew around Su Xueli and then flew towards the direction of the fairyland.

  Su Xueli stared at this scene with wide eyes, her heart filled with shock. She didn't understand why this happened, it all seemed beyond her cognition. She tried to reach out and catch a butterfly, but the butterfly lightly dodged her hand and continued to fly towards the fairyland. "What on earth is going on?" Su Xueli muttered to herself, her doubts becoming more and more intense.

  At this time, after discussing the strategy to deal with the Dark Palace with the people of the Blood River Palace, Duan Litang suddenly found that Su Xueli was missing. He had an ominous premonition in his heart and hurriedly looked around. When he came to the Lingxian Lake, he saw Su Xueli standing by the lake, looking at the blood-colored butterflies flying in the sky with a look of shock.

  "Xue Li, why are you here? What's going on with these butterflies?" Duan Litang walked up and asked with concern. He noticed that Su Xue Li's face was pale and her eyes were full of pain and confusion, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

  Su Xueli's body trembled slightly when she heard Duan Litang's voice. She turned her head and looked at Duan Litang, her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say. Her heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she wanted to tell Duan Litang the contents of the letter, but on the other hand, she was afraid that Duan Litang would be hurt after knowing it, and she was also worried about the fate of the fairyland.

  "Xue Li, are you worried about something? You look very unwell." Duan Litang asked again, his eyes full of worry. He held Su Xue Li's hand and found that her hand was cold, which made him more certain that she must have encountered some difficulties.

  Su Xueli looked at Duan Litang's sincere eyes, and the defenses in her heart collapsed instantly. She couldn't hold back any longer, and tears burst out of her eyes. "Litang, I. I received a letter from the fairyland." She said with a sob.

  Duan Litang's heart tightened, he felt that the matter seemed to be very serious. "What did the letter say? Don't worry, tell me slowly." He comforted her softly, and at the same time held Su Xueli's hand tightly to give her strength.

  Su Xueli took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She told Duan Litang everything about the contents of the letter and the "Lingxian Seal". Duan Litang's face became very solemn after hearing it. He didn't expect that the Immortal Realm would be so hostile to him and even wanted Su Xueli to kill him.

  "Xue Li, I understand your pain and entanglement now. The fairyland is your hometown, and you have the responsibility to protect it. But am I really a descendant of the gods? I have never thought of hurting anyone. Everything I do is to protect the peace of the world." Duan Litang looked at Su Xue Li and said sincerely. There was no resentment in his eyes, only understanding for Su Xue Li and confusion about the future.

  Su Xueli looked at Duan Litang, feeling full of guilt. "Litang, I know you are a good person, and I have never thought of killing you. But my father's order, and the safety of the fairyland, I. I don't know what to do." She cried, tears streaming down her face.

  Duan Litang gently embraced Su Xueli in his arms and comforted her: "Xueli, don't be sad. Let's work together and we will definitely find a solution. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. We can go to the fairyland and ask in person."

  Su Xueli leaned in Duan Litang's arms, feeling his warmth and comfort, and her heart gradually calmed down. She knew that Duan Litang was right, and they couldn't just give up. Perhaps, going to the fairyland to ask in person was the best way to solve the problem.

  "Litang, thank you for understanding me. I believe in you. Let's go to the fairyland together and figure everything out." Su Xueli raised her head and looked at Duan Litang with determination in her eyes.

  Duan Litang nodded, gently wiped away the tears on Su Xueli's face, and said: "Okay, let's go together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

  At this moment, the blood-red butterfly in the sky suddenly accelerated, flew towards the direction of the fairyland, and disappeared in the distance. Su Xueli and Duan Litang looked at the direction where the butterfly disappeared, their hearts full of expectation and worry. They knew that what was waiting for them ahead would be an unknown challenge, and all of this was inextricably linked to the mysterious fairyland secret letter and Su Xueli's mother's "Lingxian Seal".

  After returning to the Blood River Palace, Duan Litang and Su Xueli told Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang their decision. Although Ling Xian'er was still recuperating, she was determined to go to the fairyland with them. "Xueli, Litang, I can't let you face danger alone. Besides, I also want to find out what's going on." Ling Xian'er said firmly. Tang Xiaotang also expressed his support: "I'll go too. One more person means more strength. Who knows, I might be able to help."

  Duan Litang and Su Xueli looked at them, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that with such a group of partners fighting side by side, they would have the courage to face any difficulties.

  Before leaving for the Fairyland, Duan Litang and Su Xueli found the master of the Blood River Palace. They told the master what happened and hoped that the Blood River Palace would strengthen its defense against the Dark Palace while they were away. After hearing this, the master nodded solemnly: "This matter is of great importance. You can go to the Fairyland without worry. The Blood River Palace will do its best to protect this place and will also pay close attention to the movements of the Dark Palace. If necessary, we will support you in time."

  Duan Litang and Su Xueli thanked the Palace Master and began to prepare for the trip to the Immortal Realm. They packed their bags and took the necessary items and weapons. On the day of departure, everyone from the Blood River Palace came to see them off. They watched Duan Litang and the others leave, their hearts filled with blessings.

  After several days of trekking, Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xianer and Tang Xiaotang finally arrived at the border of the fairyland. The border of the fairyland was shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding a sacred atmosphere. The fairyland soldiers guarding the border saw them and immediately became alert. "Stop, who are you? Why did you come to the fairyland?" A soldier asked loudly.

  Duan Litang stepped forward and said, "We are here to see the Immortal Domain Lord Su Zhantian. We have something important to ask him." The soldier's face changed slightly after hearing this: "To see the Immortal Domain Lord? What proof do you have?"

  Su Xueli stepped forward and said, "I am Su Xueli, Su Zhantian is my father. This is my identity token." As she spoke, she took out her identity token. The soldier took the token and examined it carefully, and his expression eased a little. "It turned out to be Miss Xueli. Please wait a moment, I will go and report it."

  After a while, the soldier came back and said, "The Lord of the Fairyland invites you." Duan Litang and others followed the soldier and walked towards the interior of the Fairyland. Along the way, they saw the prosperity and beauty of the Fairyland. The sky of the Fairyland was as blue as a gem, and the white clouds floated in the air like cotton candy. On the ground, palaces stood in rows, magnificent and golden. On the streets, the immortals shuttled back and forth, and they exuded a soft light, as if the entire Fairyland was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

  However, Duan Litang and others were not attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. Their hearts were full of worries and expectations. They didn't know what was waiting for them, nor did they know whether they could solve the doubts in their hearts.

  Finally, they arrived in front of the palace of the Lord of the Fairyland. The palace was tall and majestic, and magnificent. The gate of the palace slowly opened, and Su Zhantian stood at the door, looking at them. Su Zhantian's eyes were full of majesty, but when he saw Su Xueli, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

  "Xue Li, you're back." Su Zhantian said. His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in front of the palace.

  Su Xueli stepped forward and said, "Father, I'm back. I have a lot of questions for you."

  Su Zhantian looked at Duan Litang and the others and said, "Come in first." Duan Litang and the others followed Su Zhantian into the palace. The interior of the palace was magnificently decorated, with precious paintings hanging on the walls, depicting the history and legends of the fairyland. Su Zhantian sat in the main seat and motioned Duan Litang and the others to sit down.

  "Father, I received your letter. Why do you want me to kill Li Tang? He is innocent." Su Xueli asked impatiently. Her eyes were full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

  Su Zhantian looked at Su Xueli, sighed, and said: "Xueli, you don't understand. The power of the blood contract on Duan Litang may bring a huge disaster to the fairyland. We can't take the risk."

  Duan Litang stood up and said, "Lord of the Immortal Realm, I understand your concerns about the Immortal Realm. However, I have never thought of harming the Immortal Realm. I have been trying to control the power of the blood covenant and use it to protect the myriad worlds."

  Su Zhantian looked at Duan Litang with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "The power of the blood covenant is mysterious and powerful. Three hundred years ago, it was because of the power of the blood covenant that the fairyland suffered a huge disaster. Countless immortals died, and the Lingxian Sect was destroyed. Your mother disappeared in that disaster."

  Su Xueli's heart tightened when she heard her mother's name: "Father, you said that mother disappeared because of the power of the blood covenant? What's going on? What's the matter with the 'Lingxian Seal' on the letter?"

  Su Zhantian was silent for a moment, then said, "'Lingxian Seal' was left by your mother. Before she disappeared, she left a will that if the power of the blood contract reappears one day and is related to a man named Duan Litang, then for the safety of the fairyland, he must be killed."

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Duan Litang, Su Xueli and others were shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect that the matter was so complicated and had such a close connection with Su Xueli's mother.

  "But, father, Litang is really a good man. He has been working hard to protect the world. We can't just judge him guilty based on speculation." Su Xueli said. Her eyes were full of determination. She believed in Duan Litang and was unwilling to give up.

  Su Zhantian looked at Su Xueli, his eyes full of helplessness: "Xueli, I know you like Duan Litang. However, the safety of the fairyland is more important than anything else. I can't ignore the hundreds of millions of immortals in the fairyland because of my personal feelings."

  At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the palace. A soldier rushed in and said, "Master of the Immortal Realm, it's bad. People from the Dark Palace suddenly appeared at the border of the Immortal Realm. They seem to be attacking."

  Su Zhantian's face changed, he stood up and said: "It seems that the Dark Palace wants to take advantage of our internal chaos to attack the Fairyland. Duan Litang, whether you are a descendant of God or not, the Fairyland is facing a crisis now, and we need your help."

  Duan Litang looked at Su Zhantian and nodded: "Lord of the Immortal Realm, I am willing to help. No matter what, I will not let the Dark Palace succeed."

  Su Xueli looked at Duan Litang, her heart was filled with emotion. She knew that Duan Litang was a responsible person, and even in the face of misunderstanding and hostility from the Immortal Realm, he was still willing to fight for the peace of the Immortal Realm.

  "Okay, then let's discuss countermeasures right away." Su Zhantian said. His eyes were full of determination. He knew that this battle would determine the fate of the fairyland and the future of Duan Litang.

  Inside the Fairyland Palace, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Su Zhantian, Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xianer, and Tang Xiaotang sat around a huge jade table, on which was spread a map of the Fairyland defenses, marking the possible attack routes of the Dark Palace. Su Zhantian frowned, his fingers slowly moving on the map, analyzing the situation: "The Dark Palace is coming with great force this time, and the deployment of troops on the border needs to be readjusted." His voice was low, with unquestionable majesty.

  Duan Litang nodded slightly, looking at the map intently, and quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind: "Lord of the Fairyland, the Dark Palace is good at surprise attacks. We can set up ambushes in some hidden roads and wait for them to tire themselves out." Su Xueli also leaned close to the map and added: "Moreover, we must strengthen intelligence gathering and cannot let the Dark Palace figure out our movements." Although Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang did not say much, their eyes revealed determination, and they were ready to fight for the Fairyland at any time.

  The discussion lasted for a long time, and everyone finally drew up a preliminary strategy to deal with the Dark Palace. However, Ling Xian'er fell into deep thought at this time. She thought of the night at the Yongye Port Inn, and the past that she had buried deep in her heart surged into her mind like a tide.

  At night in Yongye Harbor, the cold wind howled, blowing against the doors and windows of the inn. Inside the inn, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Ling Xian'er's slightly pale face. Duan Litang sat opposite her, looking at her with concern. Ever since he heard about the power of the blood contract and the complicated past of Ling Xian'er's mother in the fairyland, he felt more and more that Ling Xian'er seemed to be hiding many unknown stories.

  "Ling Xian'er, you seem to be worried?" Duan Litang asked softly, breaking the silence. Ling Xian'er raised her head and looked at Duan Litang. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Litang, you know, I have never told you about my past." Her voice was soft, but with a hint of sadness that was hard to conceal.

  "My father is the master of the Ice Palace." Ling Xian'er's eyes gradually became blurred, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to the past. "When I was a child, my father always held me in his arms and told me that the blood covenant host would come to pick us up on a rainbow of light. At that time, I was full of expectations and imagined what kind of person that would be." The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, which was a nostalgia for the beautiful memories of her childhood.

  "The Ice Palace is unique in the practice of ice magic, and my father is the top master of the Ice Palace. He has high hopes for me and has taught me to practice ice magic since I was a child." Ling Xian'er continued, with a gleam in her eyes, which was a reverence for her father. "The days in the Ice Palace were cold, but full of warmth. I grew up under the care of my father every day, practicing and playing with the disciples of the Ice Palace."

  However, the twists of fate always come unexpectedly. "Later, the Dark Palace set its sights on the Ice Palace. They coveted the Ice Heart Lamp of the Ice Palace. The lamp contained the mysterious power of the Ice Palace and was also the treasure guarded by the Ice Palace." Ling Xian'er's eyes flashed with pain, and her voice trembled slightly. "The Dark Palace launched a surprise attack, which was a nightmare. The disciples of the Ice Palace fought hard, but the Dark Palace was too powerful."

  "In order to protect the Ice Palace, my father fought a desperate battle with the Dark Palace. He used the Ice Palace's strongest spell to try to repel the Dark Palace. But." Ling Xian'er burst into tears and choked up and couldn't continue. Duan Litang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He gently held Ling Xian'er's hand and gave her strength.

  "But the leader of the Dark Palace was too cunning. They set a trap, and my father was trapped in the battle. In the end, he was torn into pieces by the Dark Palace." Ling Xian'er burst into tears. Duan Litang gently embraced her in his arms, let her lean on his shoulder, and let her tears soak his clothes. "The Ice Heart Lamp also fell into the hands of the Dark Palace. Later, I found the Ice Heart Lamp in the chaos, but it still contained the last breath of my father's evil spirit." Ling Xian'er's voice was full of grief and anger.

  After a long time, Ling Xian'er gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at Duan Litang, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes. Her fingertips gently brushed the pendant on Duan Litang's chest, and the pendant flickered under the candlelight. "So, the glow that my father mentioned is blood-colored. When I first saw you use the power of the blood covenant, the blood-colored light reminded me of my father's words. I have been wondering, are you the blood covenant host who can change everything?"

  Duan Litang looked at Ling Xian'er, his heart full of heartache. He gently wiped the tears from Ling Xian'er's face and said, "Ling Xian'er, I'm sorry for reminding you of these painful memories. But I promise you that I will avenge your father and make the Dark Palace pay the price." His eyes were firm and full of determination.

  Ling Xian'er looked at Duan Litang, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that the man in front of her was worthy of her trust and reliance. "Litang, I have always been conflicted. On the one hand, I hate the Dark Palace, they destroyed my family and killed my father; on the other hand, I am afraid of the power of the blood contract, because it seems to have some connection with the disaster of the Ice Palace."

  Duan Litang held Ling Xian'er's hand tightly and said, "Ling Xian'er, the power of blood contract itself is neither good nor evil. The key lies in the person who uses it. I will use it to protect you, the people around us, and seek justice for the Ice Palace." Ling Xian'er nodded slightly, leaned in Duan Litang's arms, feeling his warmth and determination.

  After discussing the strategy to deal with the Dark Palace in the Fairyland, everyone decided to stay in the Fairyland for a while to further improve the defense deployment. Ling Xian'er's memories also made Duan Litang more determined to explore the truth of the power of the blood contract. He knew that only by thoroughly mastering the power of the blood contract could he protect the people around him and solve the mystery behind the Ice Palace and the Fairyland.

  During his time in the fairyland, Duan Litang assisted Su Zhantian in strengthening the fairyland's defenses while using his spare time to study the power of blood covenant. He discovered that the power of blood covenant seemed to have some subtle resonance with the fairyland's spiritual power. He tried to merge the power of blood covenant with the fairyland's spiritual power, and found that his strength had been further improved.

  Su Xueli watched Duan Litang practicing hard, feeling both relieved and a little worried. She knew that Duan Litang had a great responsibility, and the secret of the power of the blood covenant was becoming more and more complicated. "Litang, don't work too hard, take care of yourself." Su Xueli said softly, her eyes full of concern.

  Duan Litang raised his head, looked at Su Xueli, smiled and said: "Xueli, I'm fine. I must master the essence of the power of blood contract as soon as possible, so that I can better deal with the Dark Palace and solve the mysteries of the Ice Palace and the Fairyland." Su Xueli nodded slightly. She understood Duan Litang's determination and decided to support him with all her strength.

  At the same time, Ling Xian'er is also working hard to cultivate. She tries to find clues to the powerful spells of the Ice Palace from the evil spirit of her father left in the Ice Heart Lamp. She studies day and night and constantly tries to communicate with the evil spirit, hoping to understand her father's last wish and the secrets of the Ice Palace.

  Tang Xiaotang used the power of the psionic butterfly to make a great contribution to the intelligence gathering work of the fairyland. She sent out psionic butterflies to patrol the periphery of the fairyland, and once they found the movements of the Dark Palace, they could send back the news in time. Her efforts gave the fairyland an extra layer of protection when facing the Dark Palace.

  However, the Dark Palace will not sit still and wait for death. They continue to gather troops at the border of the fairyland, and at the same time secretly plot a bigger conspiracy. One day, the spirit butterfly sent by Tang Xiaotang sent back a message that the Dark Palace seems to be looking for a mysterious treasure, which is closely related to the Ice Palace.

  After Duan Litang and others learned the news, they decided to investigate further. They asked around and finally learned from an old man in the fairyland that this mysterious treasure might be related to a fragment of the Ice Palace. It is said that this fragment records the most powerful spells and secrets of the Ice Palace. Once it is obtained by the Dark Palace, the consequences will be disastrous.

  Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang decided to look for the Ice Palace fragment together. According to the clues provided by the old man, they came to a mysterious valley in the fairyland. The valley was filled with thick fog, and the surrounding mountains were towering into the clouds, like a natural barrier.

  "Everyone be careful, the atmosphere here is a bit strange." Duan Litang said vigilantly, holding the blood sword tightly in his hand. Su Xueli held the Lingxian Sword and observed the surroundings with focused eyes. Ling Xian'er also released ice spirit power, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Tang Xiaotang released the spirit butterflies and let them explore the way ahead.

  Everyone was moving forward cautiously in the valley, when suddenly, a low roar came from the front. A huge monster rushed out from the mist. It was huge, more than ten meters tall, covered with hard scales, and exuded a powerful aura.

  "This is a guardian monster! Everyone, be careful." Duan Litang shouted and rushed forward first. He used the power of the blood contract, and the blood sword shone brightly, slashing at the monster. The monster waved its huge claws to resist Duan Litang's attack. Su Xueli also joined the battle. She used the Lingxian sword technique, and sword energy shot at the monster, and several wounds appeared on the monster's body.

  Ling Xian'er released an ice spell to freeze the ground around the monster, trying to restrict its movement. The monster struggled and roared angrily. Tang Xiaotang shot a Psylocke arrow from behind, which exploded on the monster, causing considerable damage to it.

  With everyone's concerted efforts, the monster's movements gradually slowed down, and the wounds on its body increased. Finally, the monster fell down with a bang, raising a cloud of dust. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the depths of the valley.

  After searching for a while, they finally found a fragment of a book that exuded an icy aura in a cave in the valley. Duan Litang walked forward and carefully picked up the fragment, only to see four large characters "Ice Palace Secret Book" engraved on the cover of the fragment.

  "This should be the fragment of the Ice Palace we are looking for." Duan Litang said, his eyes full of excitement. Ling Xian'er walked forward excitedly, looking at the fragment, tears blurred her eyes again. "Dad, I finally found something related to the Ice Palace." She murmured to herself.

  However, just as they were about to leave the cave, they suddenly heard footsteps and voices outside the cave. "It seems that someone found this place before us." Su Xueli said vigilantly. Duan Litang put away the fragments, grasped the blood sword tightly, and prepared to face the new challenge.

  Outside the cave, a group of people in black robes slowly walked over, led by a stern-looking man. He looked at Duan Litang and the others and said coldly, "Hand over the fragments of the Ice Palace, otherwise, you will all die." Duan Litang snorted coldly, "If you want the fragments, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

  A fierce battle broke out again, and Duan Litang and his team fought a desperate battle with this group of mysterious people. The strength of the mysterious people should not be underestimated. They used various strange spells to fight Duan Litang and his team.

  During the battle, Duan Litang discovered that this group of mysterious people seemed to be very familiar with the Ice Palace Fragments, and their attack methods were also somewhat similar to the Ice Palace's spells. He couldn't help but wonder: Who are these people? What is their relationship with the Ice Palace?

  As the battle progressed, Duan Litang and his men gradually gained the upper hand. The number of mysterious people was decreasing, and the leading man wanted to escape when he saw that the situation was not good. Duan Litang would not let him succeed, so he used the powerful power of the blood covenant, caught up with the man in an instant, and subdued him with a sword.

  "Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to steal the Ice Palace Remains?" Duan Litang asked coldly. The man looked at Duan Litang with fear in his eyes: "We. We are traitors of the Ice Palace. Back then, in pursuit of power, we surrendered to the Dark Palace. The Dark Palace promised us that as long as we found the Ice Palace Remains, they would give us endless power."

  Duan Litang and the others were shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect that there was a traitor in the Ice Palace. "Do you know the secret of the Ice Palace?" Ling Xian'er walked forward and asked anxiously. The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I. I only know that there is a powerful spell recorded in the Ice Palace Fragments, which can summon the Ice Spirit. However, summoning the Ice Spirit requires a huge price, and I don't know what the price is."

  Duan Litang and the others looked at each other, thinking about the man's words. They knew that the secret of the Ice Palace's fragments might be far more complicated than they imagined. And the Dark Palace would never give up in order to obtain the fragments. They must return to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible to study the secrets in the fragments, and at the same time strengthen their defenses to prevent the Dark Palace from attacking again.

  On the way back to the fairyland, Duan Litang and others carefully guarded the fragments of the Ice Palace. They knew that this fragment not only concerned the future of the Ice Palace, but also the safety of the fairyland and the myriad worlds. After returning to the fairyland, they immediately handed the fragments to Su Zhantian and told him in detail about their experience in the valley.

  After hearing this, Su Zhantian's face became serious: "It seems that the conspiracy of the Dark Palace is more terrible than we thought. We must study the secrets in the fragments as soon as possible and find a countermeasure." So, Su Zhantian summoned many powerful people and scholars in the fairyland to study the fragments of the Ice Palace together. Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang also participated in it. They studied day and night, trying to solve the mystery in the fragments.

  During the research, they found that the spells in the Ice Palace Fragments were indeed very powerful, but also full of dangers. Summoning the Ice Spirit required a large amount of spiritual power, and if the summoning failed, it might cause a huge disaster.

  "We can't rashly try to summon the Ice Spirit." Duan Litang said, his eyes full of worry. "We must find a safe way to utilize the power in the fragments while avoiding disasters." Su Xueli and Ling Xian'er also agreed.

  However, time waits for no one. After learning that they had obtained the fragments of the Ice Palace, the Dark Palace accelerated its pace of attacking the Fairyland. At the border of the Fairyland, war was imminent. Su Zhantian decided to strengthen the defense of the Fairyland first, while continuing to study the secrets in the fragments.

  At the border of the fairyland, the soldiers were on high alert. Duan Litang, Su Xueli, Ling Xian'er and Tang Xiaotang also came to the front line. Together with the soldiers, they guarded the peace of the fairyland. They knew that this battle would be a tough test, but they were not afraid. They believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to defeat the Dark Palace, protect the fairyland, and protect the peace of the world. And the secrets in the fragments of the Ice Palace will gradually surface in this battle.
