"Ah~~~"
A pitiful, mournful cry echoed throughout Frost City!
Bibi Dong's left leg was completely severed, blood gushing out, her beautiful face turning pale.
Anger flashed across Bibi Dong's pretty face; for her, the high and mighty Pope, losing a leg was an utter disgrace.
She wanted to fight Ma Hongjun to the death, but faced with the difference in strength, it was all in vain.
"Ice Seal!"
Ma Hongjun shouted coldly.
An ice dragon flew out, the temperature in the air plummeted, snowflakes condensed, and danced in the air.
The ice dragon, carrying eight soul rings, flew over and instantly enveloped Bibi Dong's mutilated body.
Ice crystals gathered, and Bibi Dong was completely frozen.
Ma Hongjun swooped down and caught Bibi Dong's severed left leg.
"This should be Xiao Wu's mother's soul bone!"
He weighed the jade-like leg in his hand; it was indeed quite strange.
Bibi Dong possessed a 100,000-year-old soul bone in her left leg, undoubtedly belonging to Xiao Wu's mother, the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit.
Ma Hongjun didn't want to kill Bibi Dong, but he wanted to teach her a profound lesson.
Severing her leg was the perfect solution.
Furthermore, she and Xiao Wu had a deep-seated hatred for each other, a hatred difficult to resolve. Taking her soul bone and returning it to Xiao Wu was a necessary step in the process.
From Ma Hongjun's perspective as a transmigrator, it was difficult to truly hate Bibi Dong.
He wasn't Tang San or Xiao Wu.
Moreover, in truth, Bibi Dong hadn't committed any major wrongdoing.
Killing soul beasts to obtain soul rings was a common cultivation practice, only changed because of Xiao Wu's feelings.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong's desire to unify the continent wasn't inherently wrong, as unification itself is a good thing!
It was simply that her bloodlust was too strong; she hated this world!
Such an extremely domineering and powerful woman was far too hostile to the world.
However, considering her experiences, it was truly admirable that a woman could live such a life.
Ma Hongjun's current task is to reform the world, and Bibi Dong plays a crucial role. The Spirit Hall is the most powerful force in this world, and to bring about change, this power must be transformed.
Conquering with strength is not difficult!
With Ma Hongjun's current strength, anyone who disobeys can be beaten or killed.
However, killing cannot solve the problem. To make this world accept the profession of Soul Pet Master, force alone is insufficient.
The ice dragon, carrying Bibi Dong, flew to Ma Hongjun's side.
Ma Hongjun also used his soul power to separate the soul bone from Bibi Dong's left leg—a pink, crystalline piece of left leg bone.
As Ma Hongjun's battle ended, everything around fell silent.
All eyes were on Ma Hongjun.
Even the Soul Masters watching from afar dared not move.
Ma Hongjun's powerful will covered the area, forcing them not to leave.
Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, had her leg severed and was frozen!
If this were to spread, what a shock it would cause!
The people of Tianshui Academy looked at Ma Hongjun with a newfound awe.
The young soul masters of Ma Hongjun's generation, including Shui Yue'er, became reserved.
Could they possibly joke with someone as powerful as Ma Hongjun?
For a moment, they felt an immense distance between themselves and him.
Only Shui Bing'er looked at Ma Hongjun with unwavering tenderness.
She touched her lower abdomen; the young man admired and revered by thousands was the father of her child!
Ma Hongjun put away his soul bone, and the frozen Bibi Dong stood beside him.
Looking around, Ma Hongjun slowly spoke, his voice echoing throughout Frost City!
"From today onwards, the Far North is established:
the Ice God Palace!
This will be a brand new sect, opening a new cultivation system.
The Frost Forest and the Far North will be controlled by the Ice God Palace. Anyone wishing to enter must obtain the Ice God Palace's permission."
Ma Hongjun paused, his voice still resonating.
He glanced at Shui Bing'er and continued.
"The Ice God Palace will be headed by Shui Bing'er; she will be the ruler of the North."
After announcing this, Ma Hongjun descended from the sky, walked to Shui Bing'er's side, and said to her.
"Don't worry, I've got everything under control. I'm right behind you."
Shui Bing'er's initial anxiety subsided.
She had a natural sense of security with Ma Hongjun.
"The position of Palace Master should belong to the Dean!"
Shui Bing'er grumbled slightly at Ma Hongjun, after all, the Ice God Palace was built upon the foundation of Tianshui Academy, and Shui Bing'er was still just a junior.
"Bing'er, the establishment of the Ice God Palace is extremely important. It's the connection between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts,
and crucial for the promotion of Soul Pet Masters. It
not only needs the approval of humans but also the ability to communicate with Soul Beasts.
Only you are truly suitable!"
Establishing the Ice God Palace was an idea Ma Hongjun had long held, and persuading the Snow Empress to pass the Snow Empress's Decree to Shui Bing'er was precisely to further advance this plan.
"Bing'er, don't refuse. Tianshui Academy will eventually be in your hands.
You've grown so quickly; only you can lead Tianshui Academy to greater heights.
Besides, we'll help you!"
Dean Shui Ningtian spoke up at this moment.
Crystal and the others also spoke up to persuade Shui Bing'er.
"Dean, teachers, please forgive me for not consulting you much about the establishment of the Ice God Palace.
The current situation is chaotic, this matter is urgent, and it concerns the future of the Soul Master world, so I won't stand on ceremony.
Changing Tianshui Academy to the Ice God Palace will definitely not be bad for you.
Bing'er will be the Palace Master mainly to coordinate relations with the Soul Beasts. Other matters will require your assistance.
If there are any difficulties you can't resolve, I will help you solve them."
"Don't worry, Hongjun. Bing'er is like a daughter to us, of course we will help her."
"Yes, the Ice God Palace is related to the future of the Soul Master world. The four of us are Soul Pet Masters, proving that this path is more suitable for Douluo Continent than Soul Masters. We must make the Ice God Palace flourish!"
...
Ma Hongjun's words received the approval of the dean and teachers.
"Bing'er, Dean, Teacher Crystal, please gather all the teachers and important members of the academy later, we will discuss the establishment of the Ice God Palace."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
The members of Tianshui Academy sprang into action.
Ma Hongjun approached the Light Unicorn, who had recovered considerably.
"Light Feather, did casting the resurrection spell severely affect you?"
Through their soul pact, Ma Hongjun could sense that Light Feather Wuxie's condition wasn't good.
"It's alright, not a big impact. I'm just weak for a while. My cultivation hasn't broken through to the Divine Realm yet, so it's difficult to gather the Light of Resurrection.
It needs to accumulate slowly. With my current strength, after casting this resurrection spell, I'll have to wait another three years before I can cast it again."
That's a three-year cooldown!
Three years is a bit long, but this is a divine resurrection spell, without any other major costs. This skill is already incredibly powerful!
"There must be conditions for resurrection, right?"
"Of course. Our Light of Resurrection is actually a summoning of souls; it can only resurrect those who have just died and whose souls haven't yet been extinguished!"
Hearing this explanation, Ma Hongjun felt it made much more sense.
If the dead could be resurrected, that would be too abnormal; the Light Unicorn clan wouldn't need to die.
Even so, it can still be called a divine skill.
"Resurrection is fine, so limb regeneration shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ma Hongjun said, pointing to Bibi Dong's mutilated body.
"Of course, no problem. Let me rest for a moment!"
