"There’s no need for this challenge. Cold Water Palace concedes defeat."
That cold voice spoke faintly.
The words caused the entire Cold Water City to be shocked once again.
Without even starting the battle, one of the Four Great Secret Places, Cold Water Palace, directly conceded defeat?
"Concede defeat? Do you think a simple concession can resolve things? It’s not that easy!"
However, upon hearing this, Li Changbo continued to sneer coldly.
"Wretched maid, have you forgotten how Cold Water Palace forced my wife and children to death in the past?
Today, either you duel to the death with me, or I’ll set Cold Water City ablaze.
Let all your Cold Water Palace citizens accompany my tragically deceased wife and children in burial!"
"Accompany his wife and children in burial?"
"This Changhen Sect Master, has he gone insane?"
"Run!"
As Li Changbo’s murderous words fell, the entire Cold Water City was plunged into greater chaos.
Many Martial Arts Experts already started to regret coming to witness this spectacle.
Who would have thought that the Changhen Sect Master would become so insane, and as a True Man of the Golden Core Realm, would demand the lives of innocent people to accompany his wife and children who died long ago in burial.
"Li Changbo, do not go too far!"
The cold voice from the Ice Palace also grew colder: "Since you insist on bringing up this matter, then let’s discuss it well today.
Do you forget that your wife and children were driven to death by you yourself?"
As these words were uttered, the previously chaotic Cold Water City went silent.
They looked at the figure in the sky.
Could it be that the death of his wife and children was shrouded in deeper mystery?
"Nonsense!" Li Changbo grew angry and shouted, "My wife and children were clearly forced to death by you, wretched maid. If you continue to spout lies, I will tear you to pieces!"
"I’m spouting lies?" That cold voice sneered softly, "Li Changbo, don’t think that after all these years, you can distort the truth.
Back then, with sweet words, you deceived the Holy Daughter of our Cold Water Palace into marrying you.
After Cold Water Palace learned of this, we sent someone to hold you accountable.
Yet you were clever, portraying a deep bond of love and life with the Holy Daughter.
This softened Cold Water Palace, allowing you and your wife to escape but expelling the Holy Daughter from the secret land to fend for yourselves.
However, no one expected it was all just an act by you.
You deceived the Holy Daughter into marrying you, sharing life and death together.
Making her truly devoted and obedient to you, compliant in all matters.
In the end, she pretended to be abandoned, exploiting my mother’s compassion for her to return to the secret land and steal the Exotic Treasure passed down from ancient times in Cold Water Palace!
Later, when the Holy Daughter was captured back to the secret land, the Exotic Treasure in her hands had vanished.
Poor Holy Daughter, no matter how Cold Water Palace tortured, she refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Exotic Treasure.
Ultimately, unable to endure, she passed away along with the child in her womb.
Before her death, she plead to my mother that if you were ever found, you must be spared your life.
Li Changbo, do you still claim that your wife and child weren’t driven to death by you?
Did you think creating a Long Hatred Sect went unnoticed by Cold Water Palace?
It was only because my mother promised the Holy Daughter not to trouble you further that allowed you to survive until now.
Who would have thought that the previous kindness, has now allowed you to turn against Cold Water Palace!"
As these words from the Cold Water Palace Master were spoken, the entire Cold Water City fell silent.
Everyone did not expect the death of the Changhen Sect Master’s wife and children to have such a complex background.
If the circumstances were truly as described, then saying Li Changbo drove his wife and children to death wouldn’t be wrong.
"Nonsense! You wretched maid, how dare you distort black and white!"
Li Changbo cursed loudly, "That Exotic Treasure was originally an ancestral treasure of my wife!
She was indeed from the Direct Lineage of your Cold Water Palace, the child of that poisonous woman, your mother.
With malicious plots, she harmed her lineage, ultimately seizing the position and becoming Palace Master successfully.
What was wrong with my wife reclaiming her ancestral relic?
Do you think that poisonous woman was truly kind-hearted?
She gained her position unjustly, taking too many lives when she ascended back then.
The heart holds guilt, trying to make some amends to my wife, seeking peace of mind!
