Chapter 2115: I’m So Lucky to Have Met All of You
A sympathetic smile appeared on the Great Empress’ face. The woman standing before her was clearly insanely powerful, but she was sobbing like a helpless little girl. “What nonsense are you spouting now? Why are you apologizing? A little bit of suffering is nothing. Don’t forget that you saved everyone’s lives…”
“But if it weren’t for me, none of this would have ever happened.” Shangguan Yi was wallowing in guilt and self-loathing.
The Great Empress’ heart throbbed with pain at the sight of her suffering.
Shangguan Yi had always had a tendency to bring misfortune upon others, so whenever something bad happened to anyone around her, she would always think that it was her fault.
There was one instance where a sect disciple had accidentally fallen into a dung pit while relieving their bowels, and they had fallen ill due to poisoning as a result. Even though Shangguan Yi had nothing to do with that incident, she was so wracked with guilt that she attended to that disciple for an entire month.
How could anyone not feel sympathy toward such a kind-hearted woman like her?
Shangguan Yi loved the entire world and was kind to everyone around her. That was why everyone was willing to stand by her and accept her with all their hearts, even though they knew that doing so would bring misfortune upon them.
“Pavilion Lord Shangguan is the best!”
“You are the pride of our Four Nine Immortal Sect!”
“From now on, there is a new G.o.ddess in my heart.”
“I love you, Pavilion Lord Shangguan Yi!”
“Oi, be a bit more respectful to our High Priestess! High Priestess, we want to follow you forever!”
A burst of cheers suddenly erupted.
“You guys…” Shangguan Yi turned to discover that all of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members were looking at her. At the same time, they were waving excitedly, and they wore genuine smiles of grat.i.tude on their faces.
“Sister Shangguan Yi, teach those b*stard Snow Ghouls a lesson for us!”
“You’re the hero of our Four Nine Immortal Sect! Don’t forget to ask for rewards from our tyc.o.o.n sect leader when we get back to the sect!”
The disciples and elders were all scrambling to get a word in, and their genuine smiles were even warmer to Shangguan Yi than the snow falling from the sky…
“Thank you, thank you all so much…”
Tears welled up in Shangguan Yi’s eyes as warmth flowed through her heart.
Some things could not be changed, but she was very elated to have such an adorable and genuine group of friends around her. The urge to protect them was her main source of motivation in life!
I’m so lucky to have met all of you; I’m so lucky to have joined the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
Shangguan Yi was very moved as she used her essential frost power to materialize a new set of limbs for the Great Empress. She then turned her attention to the three sealed Snow Ghouls.
The three Snow Ghouls almost soiled themselves upon being scrutinized by her. Even though they were already in excruciating pain from the torment she was inflicting upon them, they felt like the worst was still yet to come.
The Snow Ghoul that was the most petrified was the one who had insulted Shangguan Yi and tortured the Great Empress. It had a really bad feeling that it was going to receive special “treatment” from the horrifying Shangguan Yi.
It needed time to break free from her seal!
Thankfully, Shangguan Yi strode over to another one of the Snow Ghouls.
“It’s all over.”
Shangguan Yi looked down at the Snow Ghoul below her, who had been pinned to the ground by the nine ice swords, and she extended her hand toward its head as a black frost energy exuded from her palm. The frost energy deprived all things of vitality, reducing everything in its wake to dead matter that was completely unrelated to heaven and earth. In the end, the black frost energy enveloped the golden Snow Ghoul’s entire body.
“Let ice sever your essence.”
After being enshrouded in frost energy, the golden Snow Ghoul’s expression of shock and horror began to freeze solid. Its aura then completely disappeared, as if it had been taken to another dimension, or as if it had been reduced to a still image.
It was sealed in ice just like that, having been stripped of its heartbeat, vitality, and energy by the black frost energy. In the end, a crisp crack sounded, and its divine halo disappeared into specks of light.
The other two golden Snow Ghouls were astonished by what they saw.
Was it dead?
A Heavenly G.o.d had just been frozen to death?
From their perspective, it appeared that killing Heavenly G.o.ds was no more difficult than slaughtering pigs to Shangguan Yi!
Ironically, this was a very familiar scene to them. Not long ago, they had felt like their snow and ice were paramount and invincible, and they were going to torture Shangguan Yi to death with a more superior version of her own power.
However, the situation had been completely reversed. In a dire situation, Shangguan Yi had transformed into an almighty G.o.ddess of Creation, using her essential frost power to freeze them to death.
That was the most humiliating way to die for a Heavenly G.o.d!
The Snow Ghoul that had been nailed into the ground by the divine staff roared as it glowered at Shangguan Yi, “Argh! You’ll pay for this, you b*tch! You’re the embodiment of an ill omen! I’m going to eat you!”
Shangguan Yi’s gorgeous features remained expressionless upon hearing those words. Far more scathing words had been directed at her in the past, and the Snow Ghoul’s insults could be brushed off with ease.
“Let ice sever your essence.”
Black frost energy emanated from her palm again.
The frost energy spread over the Snow Ghoul’s entire body, abruptly cutting off the torrent of abuse that it was hurling.
After killing two Heavenly G.o.ds, Shangguan Yi progressed onto the third Snow Ghoul without any pause.
The golden Snow Ghoul was absolutely petrified. It felt as if Shangguan Yi was treading on its heart with every step she was taking.
“Don’t… Get away from me…” The Snow Ghoul struggled as it tried to retreat.
“So even you can feel fear.” Shangguan Yi was still advancing.
She extended her palm and prepared to unleash the final strike.
Right at that moment, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the golden Snow Ghoul’s face, and it reared up like a spring, transforming into a golden afterimage as it pounced toward Shangguan Yi.
“Die!”
It thrust its sharp crimson claws right at Shangguan Yi’s forehead!
It had surrept.i.tiously struggled free from the frost power seal and was waiting for the moment when Shangguan Yi let down her guard so that it could stage the perfect retaliation!
Its speed was phenomenal, and it was going to turn the tables in a single split second!
Shangguan Yi didn’t even have time to react, let alone respond to its attack.
So what if she was the almighty Ice Matriarch?
Even the most powerful beings had holes in their defense, and if those holes were exploited, they would inevitably fall!
The Snow Ghoul was elated, and it felt as if it had already won.
“Freeze,” Shangguan Yi uttered a gentle syllable.
Whoosh…
A peculiar ripple proliferated forth.
The golden Snow Ghoul was suddenly frozen in mid-air. The tips of its claws were only an inch away from Shangguan Yi’s forehead, but they couldn’t progress any further.
It had been completely immobilized.
It wasn’t the same thing as being immobilized by a spatial seal. Instead, even the time around it had stopped!
This was true time and spatial power!
The golden Snow Ghoul was absolutely astonished. She could freeze s.p.a.ce and time just by using her essential frost power? Just how powerful was she?!
