Hearing Xiao Yun's question, Floral Beauty Jade smiled and said, "Let me explain this matter!"
Then, Floral Beauty Jade recounted the general course of events—
It turned out that in her early years of martial arts training in Huaxia, Floral Beauty Jade was actually a disciple of the same master as Cold as Ice. Since Cold as Ice was a year older than her, she always referred to her as Senior Sister.
Later, when Floral Beauty Jade arrived in Island Nation, the two kept in touch via phone, so she was well aware of many things happening with Cold as Ice back home.
Because of this, Floral Beauty Jade had heard Cold as Ice mention Xiao Yun several times; having heard about this legendary and extraordinary figure so often, Xiao Yun had taken deep root in her heart.
In order to avenge her brother-in-law Lu Jiutang, Cold as Ice knew that she could not remain in Huaxia for long. The reason she thought of seeking refuge with a few senior brothers in Viper Town was actually an idea suggested by Floral Beauty Jade before the incident occurred. Since Floral Beauty Jade's distillery required a large amount of medicinal materials, she frequently traveled to Viper Town to procure them and was very familiar with the area.
Initially, Floral Beauty Jade wanted to invite Cold as Ice to come to Island Nation to help manage the Drunken Dragon Gang, but Cold as Ice did not like Island Nation, so she politely declined.
Eventually, Cold as Ice chose to go to Viper Town. In fact, the army stationed in Viper Town was made up of people under Floral Beauty Jade, and the leaders were several of her and Cold as Ice's senior brothers. This meant that Viper Town was essentially under the control of Floral Beauty Jade.
When Cold as Ice, along with Torpedo, Cao Tianwei, and others, arrived there, they were naturally given a warm welcome. Thanks to her competence and cleverness, it wasn't long before she became the leader there.
Every time Floral Beauty Jade went there to procure medicinal materials, she would visit Cold as Ice. However, not long ago when she rushed back to Viper Town, she discovered that a tragic battle had occurred there. The army she had assembled had been completely wiped out, and the entire town was shrouded in a layer of black mist, with a strong smell of blood lingering in the air.
Looking at the corpses piled on the ground, Floral Beauty Jade was momentarily stunned. The streets were filled with people wearing strange clothing; they all had red hair and green eyes, with large rings hanging from their ears. Some even had horns growing from their heads and long fangs protruding from their mouths. They looked nothing like humans but rather like monsters.
Although Floral Beauty Jade did not know where these strange beings had come from, she understood that all her people were gone and that Viper Town had fallen into enemy hands.
She approached the local residents for information and learned that these monsters were from the Mediterranean's Blood Demon Clan, led by someone named Hanako Feilet.
It was also said that Freyte had long coveted this territory, and due to Cold as Ice's steadfastness and refusal to retreat, a bloody battle ensued.
Recalling the fierce battle that took place that midnight, the local residents turned pale, their faces filled with inexplicable terror.
At that time, the locals had already gone to bed. Suddenly, a violent wind howled outside the windows, and the bright moon in the sky turned blood-red as if blown by the wind. Before long, a pool of fresh blood flowed from the moon, scattering in the wind like raindrops.
Everyone was frightened by this strange phenomenon. Soon after, gunfire erupted in the town, and before long, a group of bizarre figures descended from the sky. They opened their mouths wide and howled, spewing clouds of blood-red smoke from their mouths...
The gunfire abruptly ceased, replaced by a chorus of wails that continued until dawn when the cries finally stopped.
Viper Town is a lawless area where people frequently fight over territory, but never had there been such a brutal massacre.
The next day, some brave residents ventured into the streets and found them littered with soldiers' corpses. Some had no heads, while others had their chests torn open as if by monsters, their insides completely hollowed out. Some even had their lower bodies reduced to pools of blood—an unbearable sight...
After hearing the locals' accounts, Floral Beauty Jade felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit. She reported the situation to Seventh Master over the phone. Seventh Master urged her to return quickly and warned her not to seek out Blood King Fret, stating that this Blood King was not human but a devil.
Seventh Master also informed Floral Beauty Jade that he had heard others mention the Blood Demon Clan. Their methods involved strange sorcery to kill people—something ordinary individuals could not contend with. Even if the Kameda Brothers from Three Immortals Hall had cultivated Half-Immortal Bodies, they might not be their match.
Since Viper Town had fallen into the hands of the Blood Demon Clan, it would be best to let it go because they could not fight against them.
However, without finding Cold as Ice's whereabouts, Floral Beauty Jade would naturally not return.
Back when she was training in martial arts in Huaxia, Floral Beauty Jade and Cold as Ice were like sisters. With no relatives around her, she regarded Cold as Ice as her own elder sister in this world.
Floral Beauty Jade set out with several followers to search for Cold as Ice's traces. It wasn't until the third day that they found her in a corner of a nearby deep mountain.
At that moment, Cold as Ice was already in a state of unconsciousness, lying beside seven or eight corpses—her trusted aides brought from Huaxia, including Torpedo and Cao Tianwei.
They had all died tragically; their chests were ripped apart, their insides completely emptied, and dark blood pooled around them...
With the help of several attendants, Cold as Ice was brought back to Island Nation. However, despite her efforts to consult all the doctors available, none could determine the nature of her injuries. Faced with her unconscious state, they were all at a loss.
After all, Seventh Master was experienced and knowledgeable. He informed Floral Beauty Jade that Cold as Ice had been struck by Blood King Fret's Blood Demon Palm, and only the unique antidote from the Blood Demon Clan could heal her wounds.
However, Blood King Fret was a ruthless demon king. Seeking an antidote from him would be akin to moths flying into a flame, a path to certain death. To deal with Blood King Fret, one would need to obtain the Heart-Cleansing Pearl and use its power to control this Blood King, compelling him to hand over the antidote.
Until Cold as Ice could be awakened, she could not be exposed to wind or sunlight; otherwise, the poison in her body would accelerate its invasion and lead her to death.
For this reason, Floral Beauty Jade had no choice but to move Cold as Ice to an underground chamber. At the same time, she began devising a plan to get close to Xiao Yun, helping her seize the Heart-Cleansing Pearl and reclaim Viper Town in order to obtain the antidote from Blood King Fret...
"Xiao Yun, this is how things have unfolded!" Floral Beauty Jade concluded.
Upon hearing Floral Beauty Jade's account, he finally understood why she wanted to ally with him and sought the Heart-Cleansing Pearl; everything she did was for Cold as Ice.
It was quite a coincidence that in Island Nation he not only encountered Wei Qinghe and Hong Qichang but also met Cold as Ice today.
If a few more days passed, it would likely be too late for Cold as Ice. Was all of this merely fate?
Xiao Yun nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. He turned his face towards Cold as Ice and asked, "Ice Sister, do you know why Blood King Fret wants to occupy Viper Town?"
