"I don't harbor any ill intentions."
Seeing the unfriendly cultivators before him, Lin Xuan spoke directly.
Even so, Xia Bing and the others looked at Lin Xuan with disdain.
"Outsiders aren't welcome, so hurry up and leave." Xia Bing warned coldly.
Even despite their harsh tone, Lin Xuan wasn't annoyed. Instead, a smile spread across his face as he turned around and left.
He didn't go far but stayed on a hill near Ice City for the following days.
Anyhow, after making some attempts to interact with Ice City's cultivators, Lin Xuan gradually gained their approval.
…
(On the Lingxuan Continent)
"Senior Lin Xuan's character is exceptionally gentle."
Seeing Lin Xuan's smiling face, everyone sighed in relief.
Currently, Lin Xuan was the Saint Realm cultivation.
Nevertheless, even when talking to mortals, he never carried the air of senior or high-ranking members.
Lian Xuan's character was certainly gentle, while Lin Jiao's situation was completely different.
During Lin Xuan's attempt to succeed the new Heavenly Emperor's selection, Lin Jiao already inflicted bloodshed in other places.
According to Lin Jiao, it was called 'Killing in order to stop killing.'
By following this path, he was determined to exterminate all who opposed him and make everyone fear him.
It was the only way to prevent future massacres on the Lingxuan continent, according to him.
After witnessing both Lin Xuan's calm approach and Lin Jiao's brutal killing of all his opponents simultaneously within the Light Beam of Resurrection, everyone had mixed feelings.
…
(At the Light Beam of Resurrection)
Looking at Lin Xuan and Lin Jiao within the Light Beam of Resurrection, there was warmth in Bai Qingque and Xia Bing's eyes.
Especially Xia Bing, seeing Lin Xuan get along with the Ice City's residents, she couldn't help but mutter, "Although Lord Lin Xuan had been sent over by the Saint Palace, he never mentioned it. We only learned about this later... However, it was his actions that led the entire Ice City to trust him completely."
Su Qingyi and the others agreed with Xia Bing's words.
To be honest, Lin Xuan's character alone impressed everyone on the Lingxuan continent at the moment.
They were deeply concerned that if Lin Xuan was selected as the next Heavenly Emperor, how would the situation turn out?
…
(Within the Light Beam of Resurrection)
"It's important for an Innate Realm cultivator to learn how to manifest Dharma from..."
At this moment, a calm smile spread across Lin Xuan's face as he taught a few pointers to a group of lower-rank cultivators.
By this time, all the Ice City's residents recognized his existence.
Moreover, Lin Xuan himself was a Saint Realm expert, and his strength alone was sufficient to subdue all the Ice City's residents.
…
"Lord Lin Xuan!"
At this moment, many cultivators from Ice City rushed over from a distance toward Lin Xuan, who was teaching cultivators.
"Lord Lin Xuan, Brother Guo, and the others went to the ice mountain to collect ice crystals and have not returned yet... Captain Xia hurried over alone to look for them. Could Lord Lin Xuan assist her?" Saying this, a few cultivators looked at Lin Xuan with expectant eyes.
Lin Xuan was the Saint Realm expert.
Moreover, he was the strongest cultivator in Ice City; while Xia Bing only reached the Dao Attainment Realm, so she was no match for him.
That's why, if an accident occurred, Lin Xuan, a saint realm expert, would be much more likely to escape unaffected.
"Rest assured, but please explain the situation first."
Immediately, Lin Xuan halted teaching cultivation insights and asked them about the situation in detail.
Well, it seemed that before Lin Xuan arrived at Ice City, there was a team of highest-rank cultivators, such as Xia Bing, to guard the city since several accidents had occurred.
Due to this, Xia Bing and others were wary of Lin Xuan when he arrived back then.
However, the Ice City experienced no accidents after Lin Xuan arrived.
Due to this, many cultivators in the Ice City let their guard down.
But now again, several cultivators entered the ice mountain near the Ice City to gather unique ice crystals today.
Honestly, who would have thought that once they left, they wouldn't return?
Xia Bing, the Ice City's powerhouse, immediately rushed to the scene upon knowing this.
On the other hand, as the others couldn't keep up with Xia Bing's speed, they turned around and ran to Lin Xuan, asking him to join them in looking into the situation together.
Seeing their faces filled with high expectations, Lin Xuan solemnly replied, "Please don't worry; I will go over and find them."
After quickly assuring them, Lin Xuan casually tore the space before him and stepped into it.
Seeing Lin Xuan rush to the Ice Mountain without hesitation, the surrounding Ice City cultivators felt deeply touched.
…
Lin Xuan's figure abruptly appeared inside a giant Ice mountain.
Not wasting any time, he immediately spread his divine sense throughout the area, and instantly spotted Xia Bing's figure.
At this moment, Xia Bing was fighting fiercely with an Ice Dragon in one of the ice mountains.
The Ice Dragon's cultivation base far exceeded Xia Bing's.
As if teasing, the Ice Dragon attacked, leaving Xia Bing helpless.
When Xia Bing was in despair and almost collapsed, Lin Xuan's figure suddenly appeared before her.
With one hand, he grabbed Xia Bing; with the other, he unleashed a surge of spatial Qi, forcing the Ice Dragon to step backward.
"Lin Xuan."
When Xia Bing saw Lin Xuan's figure, her eyes glowed with a myriad of emotions. But soon, her body became soft, and she lost consciousness.
This Ice Dragon's cultivation base was stronger than Lin Xuan's.
In truth, Lin Xuan managed to support Xia Bing until now simply because the ice dragon hadn't yet struck them down with its full strength.
"How dare you stop this dragon from seizing its prey?" A snort escaped the Ice Dragon's mouth.
Instantly, a mouthful of frosty breath spurted out of the Ice Dragon's mouth, spraying toward Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan protected Xia Bing with one hand while dealing with this Ice Dragon.
During this time, Lin Xuan was in a tough spot.
As the Ice Dragon attacked him, he found himself in a desperate situation.
The Ice Dragons were ancient divine beasts of the highest rank. Its strength was unparalleled.
Not to mention that its cultivation base was much stronger than Lin Xuan's.
When Lin Xuan's situation escalated, suddenly, another astonished voice sounded above the Ice Dragon, "Huh, there is such a big insect on the Lingxuan Continent."
