Han Zhan Meng did not stop when he came down the snow covered peak. Instead, he went straight through the main hall of the Blizzard Silver City and quietly left the city through a secret path which led to a covert location the back of the mountain. The only entrance was the secret path.
Although this place was located halfway on the top, the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi was more concentrated here than anywhere else in the snowy mountains, including the snow covered peak where Han Yan Yao stayed.
The stone chamber was very spacious, up to dozens of square meters. It could be called an underground hall. Hanging from the rooftop were numerous stalactites of a myriad of strange shapes. Enclosed on the walls were countless glittering and brilliantly bright spots. There were all kinds of unknown crystals naturally embedded within.
In the center of the chamber was a special seat. It was a piece of huge crystal in a weird shape. It was a hexagon, with more crystal structures protruding upward on the corners of the polygon. It looked like six petals that naturally made the whole structure a lotus-like seat.
The mystical crystals emitted a gentle glow all around, which coincidentally superposed along the center axis of the chamber. This formed a bright column of light that extended all the way to the top of the chamber, which was then refracted from there, connecting with the crystals to form an indescribable cycle. The creation of nature was indeed magical.
And a misty fog filled the thick column of light!
A expert practitioner of Xuan cultivation would detect that the fog contained the most pure Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi!
This location was the Blizzard Silver City’s biggest secret!
It was a naturally formed chamber. Training by sitting on the lotus-like seat would be ten times more efficient than anywhere else!
From the establishment of the Blizzard Silver City, only one person could enter this location!
The master of the Silver City, the head of the Han Family!
The secret had always been passed down by words of the mouth. It was never disclosed to anyone else!
However, there was a limitation to the chamber. Anyone who had not reached Superior Supreme would not last long before they exploded if they tried to train on the lotus seat. It was expected, as the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi here was too concentrated! Even Superior Supremes couldn’t train here for too long.
Nevertheless, generations of masters could still train in the chamber. As long as they didn’t sit on the lotus seat, the Spiritual Qi would not be too much to handle. Although the speed of progress wouldn’t be as promising, it was still many times greater than outside!
Therefore, generations of masters of the Blizzard Silver City were promoted to Supreme at a young age!
For example, Han Zhan Meng was able to rise above all the other Supremes to reach the level of Superior Supreme before the age of 50 despite his talent only being slightly above mediocre!
The chamber was discovered during the initial constructions of the city. It was listed as a top secret right upon its discovery! As the other two families declined, the secret was only passed down through the lineage of the Han Family!
Even if the Xiao Family had almost controlled the whole city, they were still unaware of this secret!
Sitting within the light column right now was the old master of the city, the previously very famous supreme that was just behind Yun Bie Chen and Li Jue Tian—the Blizzard Supreme Han Feng Xue.
But his cultivation was long above that of a Supreme. It was even above the Superior Supreme! It was all due to the magical effects of the mysterious chamber.
As Han Feng Xue exceeded the Superior Supreme level, he kept the news a secret and passed down the position of the master of the city to his son. He then stayed in the chamber to train for thirty years!
Han Zhan Meng didn’t dare to make a sound once he entered and only stood there quietly.
After a very long while, the light column blinked as the old man in white drifted out. His hollow looking eyes stared at Han Zhan Meng. “Little Meng, what urgent matter brings you here today? You look anxious.”
Han Zhan Meng’s mouth twitched. It was so strange. The nickname of his younger daughter was also “little Meng,” but his father still called him by the same name.
In fact, he called his daughter “Han Yan Meng” for the exact same reason. I’m now the master and a father. You’re still calling me “little Meng” all day long. How awkward! But I can’t really say that in your face, so I shall call my daughter “little Meng.” Haha, by then you would have to stop calling me “little Meng”!
But no one knew why his all-wise father just couldn’t get it right. His father still called him “little Meng,” which was the same as his daughter...
He sighed in his mind and decided to stop struggling over this issue. He never won against his father... He directly explained why he was here. “Dad, the situation in the Silver City is very strange lately. I analyzed for very long but arrived at a very surprising conclusion. I hope you can help me...”
Han Zhan Meng looked very serious as he continued slowly, “Dad, the Xiao Family is being very sneaky recently! I suspect that they want to do something disadvantageous to the Silver City!”
“Xiao Family...” Han Feng Xue’s eyes twinkled and laughed. The old master was more than a hundred years old, but he looked just like his son, except for his hair which was intentionally left white. Or else he would look like Han Zhan Meng’s brother instead...
“Don’t worry, just be careful!” Han Feng Xue said calmly. “The Xiao Family has been rebellious for years. Perhaps their ambitions have reached the climax. But if they want to deal with us, they still don’t have the power to! So they can only sneak around...”
“So?” Han Zhan Meng was surprised. He thought his father would be shocked hearing the news.
“If the Xiao Family doesn’t have too much ambition, we will have to continue helping them and work together toward greatness! This is the indisputable ancestral rule! And we did follow it for thousands of years and it will continue!
“The relationship between the two families is always complicated. Even today, the boundary between the families is still blurred. If the Silver City loses any one of us, it will be a tremendous loss! So for generations, we have been very careful in maintaining a good relationship. It’s really a difficult and tiring task.
“And the Han Family has always been the master! So naturally as time passed, the Xiao Family will feel uncomfortable. It’s only a matter of time before they rise up to contest us for the control of the city! It’s human nature; you don’t have to be so shocked by it.”
“I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but you don’t have a son. So the Xiao Family’s ambition grew faster! Besides that, they also have a strong sense of fear. Therefore, it’s reasonable for them to try taking over at this point of time!”
“Reasonable?...” Han Zhan Meng went speechless at his wise, smiling father.
How can their rebellion be reasonable?
“Of course, why not? Anyone would want to take over if they are subjugated for a millennium! Although we never admitted that we subjugate them, we did order them to do many things in the past. To them, they’re clearly being dominated. It’s basic psychology! They have contributed so much; the real beneficiary is the Silver City, not the Xiao Family. If it were you, you wouldn’t feel that it was fair either, would you?
“That’s why, the old saying that ‘those who are not of our kind are sure to have a different agenda’ is very true.”
“So, what should we do? The oath made by our ancestors is still hanging in the hall. ‘As long as the Silver City still stands, the lineage of the Xiao Family never breaks. Generations we will be brothers, this oath is unbreakable regardless of life or death!’” Han Zhan Meng recited the ancestral rule as he frowned. “If we attack them and get rid of them, aren’t we breaking the rule? The oath was taken so that everyone in the world knew...”
“Who told you to get rid of the Xiao Family?” Han Feng Xue frowned and looked at his son. “Why would you do that?”
“What?” Han Zhan Meng was totally confused. His eyes wide open and he didn’t know what to say. He could only stutter, “We don’t? Th... th... then aren’t we giving the city to them for free?”
“Sigh... Little Meng, you stupid boy. If they don’t do anything and you deal with them, it’s wrong.” Han Feng Xue was slightly exasperated that his son didn’t live up to his expectations. “The rule says that ‘generations we will be brothers’. If they don’t treat you like a brother, does it still take effect?”
