Some university scholars sighed softly. The situation between the two sides had evolved from testing each other into a battle of egos, which was already difficult to resolve.
A few university scholars looked at Xiao Yetian unhappily, because they had just eavesdropped on the conversation of the demon kings, and those demon kings and great demon kings had already made a judgment that Fang Yun was seriously injured this time and there was no way he could gain anything, a typical case of stealing a chicken but losing the rice. Xiao Yetian must have also learned the news, so he wanted to punish Fang Yun, causing the situation to become so serious.
The atmosphere in the big tent was a bit solemn, but things had come to this point and it was difficult to reverse the situation. Only after Fang Yun's condition improved could a conclusion be made. One of Fang Yun and Xiao Yetian would definitely be punished.
For a great scholar to be whipped with his bare back in the snow was already a very severe punishment.
The meeting continued. Without Fang Xusheng, the Yan family members were particularly silent and almost stopped speaking. The other scholars also noticed this, so whenever the Yan family members raised an opinion, they would agree.
The Yan family placed their hopes on Fang Yun, but now it seems that the Yan family is very likely to lose its dominance over the human race in the Shihan Ancient Land after the Battle of Life and Death.
Now, Xiao Ye is the strongest person among the human race fighting for the ancient land of Shihan.
At this meeting, although many people took into account that the Yan family did not directly help Xiao Yetian, they still made some decisions that were beneficial to Xiao Yetian and the Zongsheng family, such as giving Xiao Yetian an extra ice-melting fruit.
This fruit is extremely strange. After eating it, one may treat ice as air and travel freely. However, the greater the power in the ice, the greater the resistance. It can pass through the walls of various cold cities, but it cannot pass through some ice walls of the Ice Emperor Palace.
There are ice layers and icebergs everywhere in the ancient land of Shihan. Some ferocious beasts or ice tribes can even create a small iceberg to trap people. If you can hold an ice-melting fruit in your mouth before being frozen, you can escape or break the iceberg.
However, there are very few ice-melting fruits in the wild, and they almost all grow around the First Cold City. The Ice Clan only sells one to the human race every year. After the ice-melting fruit is picked, its value will weaken over time and will become ineffective after five years.
Among the dozens of ice-melting fruits among the human race, except for those obtained occasionally in the wild, most of them were secretly purchased from the big families of the Ice Clan at high prices.
Because Fang Yun is a virtual saint and the first candidate to compete for the title of Ten Cold King, he received two ice-melting fruits. Now Xiao Yetian also receives the same treatment.
After discussing the basic matters, Yan Ningxiao said, "The Ice Clan arrived here first and occupied the first three positions. They can go through the three gates first. The main gate itself is much larger than the side gates, but as you all know, the two gates of the main gate are difficult to open completely, and the distance between the two gates is only 20% more than that of the side gates. Even so, it is still a gate that all clans must fight for. Before leaving, Fang Xusheng said that he would fight to enter the Ice Palace from the main gate. Since Grand Scholar Xiao also got two ice-melting fruits, what is his opinion on this fight to enter the Ice Palace?"
The clan members were secretly resentful, thinking that it was no wonder that Yan Ningxiao did not stop Xiao Yetian from getting the benefits just now, it turned out that he was holding back.
Xiao Yetian immediately replied righteously: "Fang Xusheng is seriously injured and dying. He can no longer participate in the competition to enter the Ice Palace. I have decided to replace Fang Xusheng and compete with the Ice Clan for the qualification to enter first! Even if Bing Tong participates, I am not afraid!"
"You can rest assured about this. Bing Tong is not participating in the fight to enter the Ice Palace. His goal is to become the First Cold Lord, and he will only go all out in the Ice Emperor Palace. However, we are afraid that they will send out the Shattered Ice Demon King." Yan Ningxiao said.
Hearing the words "Ice-Breaking Demon King", all the humans present frowned.
The Ice Clan has lived in the Ten Cold Ancient Land for the longest time and has mastered many kinds of ice power. The Ice Crusher Demon King is one of the most powerful forces and is the main reason why the Ice Clan can control most of the cold cities.
Every year, the Ice Clan would select some newly born members of the Ice Clan and place them in a special cold air zone to continuously absorb the cold air. As their demon rank increased and the amount of cold air they absorbed increased, their bodies would slowly melt into ice and become extremely hard bodies of ice.
Although their icy bodies are powerful, they are not enough to render the human race helpless. What renders the human race helpless is that after becoming a demon king, once they die, their bodies will explode and turn into countless icy blades that erupt in all directions, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split apart.
If the power of this icy blade is compared with the strength of a human grand scholar, it is equivalent to a grand scholar sacrificing his entire life in exchange for the righteousness of heaven and earth, using his righteous blood and all his strength to activate the Burial Sword, plus other powers.
The Ice Shattering King can commit suicide.
In front of the Ice-Breaking Demon King, any university scholar can only say that they have a narrow escape from death. It is not that the human race is too weak, but that the Ice-Breaking Demon King is using almost all his life's strength to launch the final attack, completely exceeding the limits of his own demon position.
Xiao Yetian hesitated and said, "The Ice-Breaking Demon King is difficult to train. Even in the First Cold City, there are probably only four or five of them. They may not be used to fight for entry into the Ice Palace. They can only be used to fight for the Ten Cold Kings after entering the Ice Emperor Palace."
"It is better to be safe than sorry. We must be on guard. However, since Grand Scholar Xiao is confident that he can defeat the Ice Demon King and lead our human race to enter the Ice Emperor Palace first, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of 700,000 human beings." Yan Ningxiao said.
Xiao Yetian said, "I just said that I would do my best. For the sake of King Shihan, I will not fight to the death in the fight to enter the Ice Palace. If I fail, it is normal. I hope you will not blame me when the time comes."
"Why was it unnatural that Fang Xusheng failed at the foot of Binggong Mountain?" a university scholar questioned.
Xiao Yetian argued, "Leaving the camp and going to Binggong Mountain was something he suddenly proposed. It was not part of the plan. He almost destroyed the human race's plan and caused incalculable losses to the human race. Strictly speaking, I am helping Fang Yun clean up the mess. It is a great achievement anyway!"
"Ridiculous!" The university scholar no longer paid attention to Xiao Yetian.
"From now on, let's only talk about how to compete for the title of Ten Cold King, not Fang Xu Sheng!" Yan Ningxiao said.
Everyone continued to talk, and soon they called all the Hanlin scholars to listen. After a full day and night of discussion, they finally came up with a plan without Fang Yun.
After the discussion, everyone walked out of the tent one after another. There was no joy at all, but instead they were full of pessimism.
Because a great scholar had estimated that without Fang Yun, the human race's chances of competing for the title of Ten Cold Kings would be less than 10% of what they originally had.
Another day passed, and all the people from the Ten Cold Cities had arrived, and the temperature in the Ten Cold Ancient Land dropped again.
On the sixth day of February, the two maids who had been guarding Fang Yun rushed out of the tent excitedly and shouted loudly.
Yan Ningxiao rushed in immediately and found Fang Yun awake, lying flat on the bed with his eyes open.
Fang Yun's eyes were like stars, but his face was still pale.
Yan Ningxiao sensed that Fang Yun's life breath was no longer like a candle flame in the wind, but like the flame of a well-protected oil lamp, so he felt relieved. Although the life breath was still weak, he was no longer likely to die at any time like at the beginning.
"Fang Yun, you're finally awake!" Yan Ningxiao sat down beside Fang Yun's bed.
People kept pouring in from outside, looking at Fang Yun with joy. There were so many people coming in that no one below the rank of Grand Secretary could enter. Even so, the tent was still filled with many Grand Secretaries in blue.
