Chapter 209 The Snow Demon Sect, an Outer Force of the Body Sect
Following the map, Lingya arrived at the gate of the Snow Demon Sect.
Above the door, the two ancient characters "Snow Demon" seem to be covered with a layer of frost that never dissipates.
Ling Ya stood silently outside the mountain gate, his dark-colored attire a stark contrast to the pure white surroundings. He neither called out nor knocked on the door; he simply closed his eyes slightly, and then a vast and powerful pressure of soul power at the level of a Title Douluo erupted from him!
This was not an attack, yet it was more chilling than any attack.
The air instantly became thick and heavy, and the howling wind in the mountains seemed to be choked by an invisible force, suddenly stopping.
The oppressive aura was solid and unyielding, carrying a chilling coldness of ice attribute and containing the soul power foundation of a Title Douluo level. Like a tangible tsunami, it steadily pressed down on the mountain gate of the Snow Demon Sect.
This is a matter of etiquette, and also a declaration that a Title Douluo has arrived in person!
Inside the mountain gate, the alarm device emitted a series of blares. The next moment, the heavy stone door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
"Who goes there? How dare you attack my Snow Demon Sect!"
"Enemy attack!"
Amidst the chaotic footsteps and shouts, more than twenty burly men, their upper bodies bare and their muscles as bulging as granite, filed out.
They were all full of vigor and vitality, with strong physiques, clearly all of them were power-type Soul Masters. Ling Ya glanced at them and immediately saw that their Martial Souls were not the uniform Snow Demon Body, but various power-type beast Martial Souls such as bears, tigers, and rhinoceroses, and their cultivation levels were mostly between Soul Sect and Soul Emperor.
This is not surprising. The young master had told him that one in ten thousand martial souls possesses a unique essence, and it is extremely difficult to pass it down stably through bloodline like other martial souls.
The Snow Demon Sect may appear to be a sect, but it is more like a stronghold for the main body sect to select and absorb external forces. These burly men are like the four single-attribute families that were attached to the Haotian Sect ten thousand years ago, belonging to subordinate forces.
"Who are you? What brings you to my Snow Demon Sect?" The leading Soul Emperor-level man, barely suppressing the suffocating pressure, shouted in a gruff voice, his eyes filled with vigilance.
Ling Ya slowly opened his eyes, his icy blue pupils like two eternally frozen springs. He swept his gaze over the crowd, his voice calm yet authoritative, "I am Ling Ya, the Ice Void Douluo, a guest elder of the Star Luo Empire. Does the arrival of a Title Douluo not warrant a meeting from your sect leader?"
"Title Douluo!"
A commotion arose in the crowd, and gasps of surprise filled the air. The invisible pressure instantly took on a terrifying quality. Just then, an even more imposing figure strode out from the doorway.
This man was over 2.5 meters tall, his muscles were like cast iron, and power seemed to flow beneath his skin; with each step he took, the ground trembled slightly. His aura was far more powerful than the others, clearly indicating he was a Soul Douluo-level expert!
"All of you, step back!" he roared, his voice like muffled thunder. He then looked at Ling Ya, a solemn expression appearing on his rugged face. He clasped his hands in a fist salute. "So it is the renowned Ice Sky Douluo, who has recently distinguished himself in battle against Dean Yan of Shrek Academy and remained undefeated, who has graced us with his presence. The Snow Demon Sect has failed to greet you properly; my apologies! I am Xue Mo, the Sect Master of this sect, an 88th-level Power Attack Type Battle Soul Douluo! May I ask what brings Your Excellency to visit us so suddenly?"
Ling Ya nodded slightly in return, but without exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the point, his voice as cold as a knife, "My trip here is not for the Snow Demon Sect, but for the person behind you. Please take me to the Body Sect to meet Senior Poison Undying."
Xue Mo's facial muscles stiffened abruptly, his pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. A subtle fluctuation of his soul power rippled around him. "What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? What Body Sect? My Snow Demon Sect has been established here for decades. What does it have to do with that Body Sect? Have you perhaps heard some rumors?"
Ling Ya looked at him, a slight smile curving his lips, and asked with a smile, "Sect Master Xue Mo, why pretend to be confused when you know the truth?"
The Snow Demon Body is a variant of the torso martial soul within the main body martial soul. You brazenly established this sect within the Heavenly Soul Empire, while the Poison Undying, who claims that "all main body martial souls under heaven belong to the Main Body Sect," has ignored you for decades, turning a blind eye? Such a cover-up might fool the ignorant, but to discerning eyes, it's tantamount to lighting a fire in the dark.
He paused, then calmly explained, "Actually, quite a few of the upper echelons of the continent are well aware of this secret. However, while the Body Sect acts domineeringly, it is not as wicked as the Evil Soul Masters, so no one wants to provoke you united and capable fellows without good reason. Everyone is happy to play dumb and maintain a facade of peace. Today, I am not here to expose this secret; I am here to see the true master behind it."
Xue Mo was stunned by these words, a hint of embarrassment and realization appearing on his rough face. He subconsciously scratched his short, needle-like hair, "Uh—so—so everyone knew—haha!"
This simple-minded appearance completely lacked the majesty of a sect leader, instead confirming Ling Ya and Dai Youheng's assessment of most members of the Body Sect: simple-minded and physically strong.
After a moment of awkwardness, Xue Mo straightened his expression, clasped his hands in greeting again, and this time spoke with much more seriousness, "Since Your Majesty speaks frankly, I will not hide anything further. I am Xue Mo, a disciple of the Vice Sect Master of the Body Sect, the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng! Since Your Majesty wishes to see my Sect Master, please come inside and rest for a while. I will immediately send the message back to the Body Sect. Whether or not I can see you is up to the Sect Master to decide."
For a powerful Title Douluo to specifically request an audience with the Sect Master is no small matter, especially since Ling Ya is publicly mistaken for a Title Douluo with ultimate attributes and has the aura of having defeated Yan Shaozhe. Xue Mo dared not be negligent.
Ling Ya nodded. "Alright. However, please hurry, Sect Master Xue Mo. The news I brought is of great importance, and intelligence is extremely time-sensitive. If we delay and things go wrong, I'm afraid neither of us can bear the blame from Senior Poisoned."
Xue Mo's expression hardened, and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will receive a reply by this time tomorrow at the latest! Please!"
He stepped aside in an inviting gesture, personally leading Ling Ya into the Snow Demon Sect. Ling Ya remained expressionless as he stepped inside, and the terrifying pressure subsided as if it had never existed, leaving only a group of Snow Demon Sect disciples outside the mountain gate, looking at each other with lingering fear, and the howling wind that once again swept into the valley.
Immediately, he ordered someone to arrange a guest room for Ling Ya as a VIP, and then immediately went to the Body Sect.
The Body Sect remained as passionate and energetic as ever. The Lan sisters, who had lived here for two years, seemed to have been infected by the spirit. When Xue Mo arrived, they were engaged in intense sparring, indicating that they had completely adapted to the place.
