The person who walked in was a woman with white hair and a face full of scars. She walked shakily as if she was about to die.
It was her who had stopped Jiang Li earlier.
“Mother!”
The young girl, Thalia, immediately ran to the woman’s side and helped her up. It turned out that this was her mother.
The chief beside him had an ugly expression. He looked to be only middle-aged, but his former wife was already so old.
When the difference in cultivation and strength was too great, lifespan and aging would really crush many things.
“This old woman, Winter Priest of the Artulu Tribe, greets the City Lord!”
As soon as this Winter Priest entered, she knelt on one knee respectfully in front of Jiang Li.
She had actually not been under Jiang Li for long, so he naturally relied on the power of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit.
Due to the fact that using the Nine Nether Earth Fruit to affect Soul Formation creatures took too long,
Jiang Li had never counted on that Chieftain from the beginning.
It was naturally impossible for him to believe a dangerous thing like cultivating the Moco Freezing Body.
Fortunately, there was still such a Winter Priest in this barbarian tribe.
Unlike the Ice Plains Hunters who focused on strength, although the Winter Priest was not the strongest, she definitely knew the most.
Therefore, Jiang Li controlled her in advance and followed behind.
It was to let her recognize the trap in the Chieftain’s words.
After the Winter Priest appeared, the barbarian chief’s expression became extremely unsightly, and he was afraid that Jiang Li would attack him at any moment.
Clearly, he had really not told the truth just now. At the very least, he had not told the entire truth.
“Although the unfreezing water is the holy artifact of our Ice Plains Race and can make people unafraid of the invasion of the frost, it can only affect your body up to three inches under the skin.”
“It can’t resist the cold qi invading your inner organs. You will be invaded by the cold qi if you enter the water. You will be fine on the surface, but your internal organs will be torn apart by the swelling ice crystals.”
“That ice crystal blood diamond has the power to freeze the soul. Even the unfreezing water can’t resist it. The blood diamond has already been passed down in our race for 800 years. No one has been able to withstand such cold qi.”
“City Lord, please reconsider.”
Jiang Li nodded. The Winter Priest had explained in detail. This was a reasonable situation.
There was no power that could be easily obtained with a pool of water.
The unfreezing water was not omnipotent. Although it was a holy artifact, it was actually only in the tribe of the Ice Plains barbarians.
The ability to be fearless of the frost had its limitations and upper limit.
The problem of freezing his internal organs could also be resolved by consuming the unfreezing water.
However, the higher-level mental and soul aspects were not something that the unfreezing water could reach.
Moreover, it could only resist ordinary cold currents.
If he reached the Earth Immortal realm and had already fused the power of the laws of heaven and earth, this kind of unfreezing water might not be able to have an effect and would probably be greatly limited anyway.
Jiang Li’s soul was very strong, but he sensed the power in the ice crystal blood diamond. Once his mental strength entered it, it would freeze.
If he swallowed it directly, his mental world would probably welcome a cold winter.
Jiang Li held the blood diamond and was weighing the pros and cons when the barbarian chief quietly retreated to the side and waved at his daughter.
When the young girl, Thalia, heard her mother’s words, she realized that her father had been enduring humiliation to take revenge just now. He wanted to use the power of the tribe’s treasure to kill the culprit among the invaders.
She was secretly feeling regretful that the plan had failed when she suddenly saw her father waving at her. Without much hesitation, she quietly moved over.
“Thalia, do Father a favor.”
Before the young girl could ask her father what his plan was, she felt her throat tighten. The scene in front of her shook, and then a sharp coldness pressed against her neck.
The Chieftain grabbed his daughter, Thalia, and then his figure flashed to the side of the Unfrozen Cold Pool. He condensed a frost dagger in his hand and pressed it against his daughter’s neck.
“Outsider, I don’t know when you colluded with my Winter Priest, but please don’t act rashly now! Otherwise, I’ll cut her throat!”
It seemed that this Chieftain’s actions earlier were really not to endure humiliation and take revenge. He was simply indifferent to his family.
Abandoning his children or wife for some benefits was nothing to him.
“You want to use your daughter to threaten me? Do you think I care if she lives or dies?”
Jiang Li was speechless towards this.
Although he might be a “good person”, that was on the surface and only targeted his own people.
Now, his identity was the City Lord of Fengdu City. Just the fact that he used the Nine Nether Earth Fruit to control people’s hearts was enough to make most of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region hunt him down.
He could not be bound by morals.
Moreover, wasn’t it too ridiculous to threaten him with a random woman?
“Hmph, of course I know you don’t care about her life or death. But don’t you care about the unfreezing water?”
“The unfreezing water is extremely pure. Once blood drips into it, this pool of unfreezing water will be useless!”
Jiang Li looked at the Winter Priest, who nodded and confirmed the Chieftain’s words.
It turned out that he wanted to use this treasure to threaten Jiang Li.
Towards this, Jiang Li felt a certain level of concern.
If he wanted to modify the concept behind the Moco Freezing Body and fuse other energies into his body, he had to at least learn the primitive Moco Freezing Body first.
