Chapter 2523: Tremendous Impact on the Ice Sea Realm

The feedback of such news left the major factions in shock. Most dismissed it as nonsense, finding it too absurd to believe that even if the Frost Soul Ice Plain's three tribes had allied, they wouldn't have made the Snow Fox tribe their leader.

It was well-known that the Snow Fox tribe had defeated the Crow tribe hundreds of years ago and settled down on the ice plain. Among the three tribes, theirs was always considered the weakest. Moreover, their Great Princess Yuanke hadn’t been seen in public for a century, likely having passed to the underworld. The affairs of her tribe were managed by her younger princess Xiang'er.

Although Princess Xiang'er seemed quite talented, she was still too young. After Yuanke's disappearance, the Snow Fox tribe’s strength had declined instead of risen. They could only maintain their position in the Frost Soul Ice Plain and the Bear Ice Rat, while seemingly friendly on the surface, were actually plotting something else.

Even rumors suggested that some tribes with rapidly growing power in the Frost Soul Ice Plain were already making moves to replace them.

The Snow Fox tribe, barely able to defend itself, had become the ruler of the ice plain. This was clearly not just nonsense.

Even if lying should have a limit, this intelligence was too far-fetched for belief.

Neither demon tribes from other regions nor human sects believed it, considering it mere speculation. Disciples tasked with gathering information were severely punished; what use were they when such an insignificant task couldn’t be completed?

Thus, more clever and higher-ranking disciples were sent to gather the news.

To their surprise, despite great efforts, the results remained unchanged.

This time, the major factions reacted differently. Some fell silent without taking further action, while others still disbelieved it, repeating the scene from before by punishing those unfortunate disciples severely. This time, they didn’t dare be careless and sent the best experts from their sects or tribes to investigate.

They waited eagerly for the results.

These experts indeed had remarkable abilities; within less than half a month, they managed to gather the information.

However... it was still the same.

The reports from the first two batches of disciples were indistinguishable.

This realization made them realize that this might be true. After all, the first batch could have received false intelligence, and the second batch could have been deceived. But as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy; there couldn’t be a third time.

It was unlikely that all these experts had been fooled.

The only conclusion was that from the start, the disciples’ reports were true but too shocking to believe.

Moreover, upon careful consideration, it made sense now. The Frost Soul Ice Plain was already in an uproar outside its borders; the rumors of the Bear Ice Rat and the Ice Bear becoming vassals of the Snow Fox tribe had spread. If this wasn’t the case, why hadn’t the other two tribes stood up to refute them? After all, such a situation would be disastrous for their reputation. It was illogical for the Bear Ice Rat and Ice Bear tribes not to speak out.

Initially, they believed the news to be false, so they didn’t delve deeper. Now, this analysis made more sense with each thought.

However, as they gradually accepted it, more doubts arose: what had happened in the Frost Soul Ice Plain?

Why could the weakest Snow Fox tribe become its dominant force?

But gathering such information wasn't easy. Fortunately, there were always brave souls willing to take on high rewards. Major factions offered substantial bounties, and many talented disciples, driven by profit, risked venturing into the heart of the Frost Soul Ice Plain.

However, they didn’t actually enter the depths; a few miles in, they encountered powerful demon cultivators.

Previously, demons in the Frost Soul Ice Plain were numerous but had their own territories. Now, with the Snow Fox tribe as a dominant force, other tribes had submitted, significantly expanding their influence to the ice plain's edges.

Thus, those seeking rewards met high-ranking demon cultivators or were attacked by lower-ranked beast creatures, most of whom perished. Only a few lucky ones managed to escape.

This news caused everyone to take notice. However, with the Snow Fox tribe’s momentum, and considering these disciples had entered the ice plain first, major factions reluctantly accepted it despite their anger.

Unable to gather accurate information, they could only observe, quietly restraining their disciples from provoking the Snow Fox tribe.

However, no wall is completely sealed; news of many talented disciples dying in the Frost Soul Ice Plain spread quickly throughout the entire Ice Sea Realm.

Thus, the Snow Fox tribe gained more fame. Those who had secretly entered to hunt beasts were forced to abandon such plans and seek other places for their hunts.

Various rumors abounded, making it nearly impossible for human cultivators to venture there.

But was the Frost Soul Ice Plain truly a forbidden land for cultivators?

The answer was no.

Snowflakes danced in the air as Lin Xuan walked with his companion through the snow. "Brother Lin, traveling to the Ethereal Immortal Palace is fraught with danger; you must be cautious."

At one corner of the Frost Soul Ice Plain, a young man and woman strolled among the falling snow. The young woman earnestly advised him.

Her features were exquisite, exuding unparalleled charm. If anyone else saw her here, they would immediately recognize her as Princess Xiang'er of the Snow Fox tribe.

The Snow Fox tribe’s power had surged recently, making Princess Xiang'er one of the most discussed figures in various factions. As a princess and a saint, she was the undisputed leader of the Frost Soul Ice Plain. A mere flick of her finger could shake the entire cultivation realm within a million miles.

By unifying the demon tribes on the ice plain, their strength had been consolidated into a formidable force. While not the top power in the region, the difference between them and the Frost Soul Ice Plain was minimal.

Yet, this proud and mysterious Snow Fox princess now walked beside a young man like a little girl.

Clearly, it was Lin Xuan who received such favor.

With Ice Old Monster’s demise and Multi-Armed Bear's soul scattered, even the Ice Rat King had met his end. Although he managed to save his life, he became Princess Xiang'er's servant. With Lin Xuan showcasing his strength again, he easily resolved the Snow Fox tribe's crisis, inadvertently becoming their leader in the Frost Soul Ice Plain. His contributions were invaluable.
