The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 843: Snatching People?

Upon hearing the Extreme Ice Envoy’s offer, it became clear that he was trying to recruit the best and brightest from the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition into his Frozen Ice Domain. 

However, Xuan Jin was conspicuously left out of this invitation. 

The Extreme Ice Envoy knew that Xuan Jin had probably already made arrangements with the Martial God Hall, and besides, the Heavenly Dragon Race had numerous connections with the Martial God Hall. 

Even if the Extreme Ice Envoy extended an offer, it would probably be in vain.

The Extreme Ice Envoy was especially interested in Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao. 

He was confident that they would be fine after their return, and he had no intention of bringing enemies into his ranks. 

As for the other tens of thousands of participants, he had little interest in them. 

The Frozen Ice Domain was a small faction with very few members, and he was only looking for top-tier elites.

When the Extreme Ice Envoy began his recruitment, the mood among the representatives of the other Super Divine Realms shifted. 

Among them, Xu Shouyi had a drastic change in his expression. 

He hadn’t expected the Extreme Ice Envoy to be so sneaky, to quietly try to lure away the most talented young cultivators.

Without hesitation, Xu Shouyi also stepped into the void and positioned himself alongside the Extreme Ice Envoy, his voice steady but warm. 

“Xuan Jin, Xuan Su, Jian Ling, Han Qianxue, are you willing to join my Martial God Hall? 

You have performed excellently in the competition, and if you join us, you will be granted the status of core disciples immediately.”

Even though Xu Shouyi was only a low-ranking elder in the Martial God Hall, his offer was sincere. 

After all, as the dominant force in the Martial God Domain, the Martial God Hall had abundant resources and could afford to make such promises.

As Xu Shouyi finished speaking, the representatives of several other Super Divine Realms also stepped forward and offered similar invitations in a warm and inviting tone.

These influential figures looked at the talented young individuals with great expectations, each hoping to sway them into their respective domains. 

Behind the scenes, the old figures from their respective families were quietly sending messages and influencing their decisions.

Soon, Xuan Jin made his decision. He stepped forward and clasped his hands together in a respectful bow. “I, Xuan Jin, am willing to join the Martial God Hall.”

This didn’t surprise anyone here. 

Even before the competition began, Xuan Jin had already known where he was headed. 

As a genius of his caliber, Xuan Jin was aware that while the Heavenly Dragon Race had potential, unless he received guidance from the three grand elders, it was simply too small a place for someone of his talent. 

Figures like Xuan Jin were destined for the grandest stages, and the Martial God Hall, a dominant force in the Martial God Domain, was just that.

After all, even someone like Xu Shouyi, a Mystic Immortal Realm expert, could serve as an elder in the Martial God Hall. 

However, reaching the True Immortal Realm was still a distant dream for most of the other factions.

Xu Shouyi smiled with satisfaction, pleased with Xuan Jin’s decision, and now his eyes turned expectantly toward the others: Xuan Su, Han Qianxue, and the rest.

But before they could react, something unexpected happened. 

The others, including Xuan Su, Han Qianxue, Ning Yao, Yan Xia, and Jian Ling, all turned their eyes to the Extreme Ice Envoy at the same time.

“Xuan Su is willing to join the Frozen Ice Domain.”

“Ning Yao is willing to join the Frozen Ice Domain!”

“Jian Ling agrees to join the Frozen Ice Domain!”

“Han Qianxue agrees to join the Frozen Ice Domain!”

“Yan Xia is willing to…”

Before Yan Xia could finish speaking, a sudden voice rang out from the void, halting her words.

“Wait!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the source of the sudden voice.

The space in front of them twisted sharply, and a stunning woman wearing a water-blue gown suddenly appeared on the scene. 

Her aura was extraordinarily strong, to the point where ordinary people would have no idea what kind of level of person she was. 

The woman’s beauty was enough to captivate anyone, but it was her terrifying aura that caused everyone to feel uneasy.

As soon as the woman appeared, the white-clad woman on the central viewing platform below flashed a faint smile at her.

All eyes were now on the new arrival, some admiring her unparalleled beauty, while others recoiled in fear of the terrifying aura she exuded. 

The woman glanced briefly at the white-clad woman below, then turned her fierce gaze toward the Extreme Ice Envoy.

“Are you trying to snatch people from me, old man?” she demanded, her voice sharp and direct.

Being called out directly, the Extreme Ice Envoy’s face turned slightly awkward, and he hurriedly responded, “My lord, I would never dare to snatch people from you.”

He clasped his hands and bowed respectfully toward the woman in the blue gown, who then nodded in satisfaction. 

After that, her gaze shifted toward the white-clad woman below, her tone softening a little, though still firm.

“And what about you? What do you have to say? 

Since you came personally, you wouldn’t be trying to snatch up all the outstanding students here, would you? 

You know, this little girl is quite suitable for me.”

When speaking to the white-clad woman, her tone became less domineering, though still assertive.

Seeing this scene unfold, the representatives of the Four Waters Divine Realm and the Super Divine Realms felt their scalps tingle in fear. 

The Extreme Ice Messenger, who was in the True Immortal Realm, had just called this woman “My Lord” and acted so respectfully. 

This was a clear indication that this woman was someone of an extraordinary status-someone far above the likes of Extreme Ice Messenger.

“Is she… could she be the leader of the Frozen Ice Domain, the legendary figure we’ve heard about?” 

“That can’t be possible, can it? Someone of her level coming to watch a competition in a medium-tier Divine Realm?”

“It seems likely. The woman in the blue robe has a unique aura, similar to that of Yan Xia. 

She’s probably from the Water Spirit Domain in the Five Elements Region. And her status is not low. 

People like her, who even Frozen Ice Domain has to be cautious of, can only be the legendary figure, right?”

Murmurs spread through the Four Waters Divine Realm as some of the older, more experienced cultivators quickly pieced together the identities of the two women. The guesses were inevitable.

The old figures within the Four Waters Divine Realm grew increasingly expectant as they looked at their disciples. 

In terms of sheer strength, the Frozen Ice Domain, the Martial God Hall, and the Water Spirit Domain were all on par with each other. 

However, the difference between being taken in by a top tier figure and a lower tier elder was huge.

As the speculations swirled around, the white-robed woman smiled and said, “There is no such thing as ‘snatching people’.”

She glanced at the gathering and continued with a gentle tone, “As you can see, whether they wish to join any faction is entirely up to them. If that little girl chooses to join the Water Spirit Domain, I would never stop her.”
