Chapter 155 - Aurora's Frozen End Domain

Name:The Black Market Author:Condemned
Pu Ta and his men were surprised by the sudden appearance of Cale's group. Wenren Wushuang was similarly surprised by their arrival, but he was not that optimistic either.  

First, he can sense that five of them were merely at the initial stage of the Saint-Class level. Although he can't sense the veiled beauty and the masked man's strength, he did not think that someone as young as them had reached the Immortal-Class level.

Furthermore, knowing Pu Ta's means, he should have a chance of preserving his life.

If Wenren Wushuang knew that Aurora was actually a late stage Immortal-Class level, then he would have not thought like so.

"Who are you, people? Do you really want to go against my Pu Family? Do you know who my father is? If you don't want to die tragically by saving this lowly commoner's life, then scram for me. But you have to leave those women behind." Pu Ta laughed lecherously while staring at the three beauties behind Cale.

His subordinates also ignored the heavily injured Wenren Wushuang and focused their gazes on the three peerless beauties with shining eyes. "Young lord, after you're done playing with them, please allow us brothers to have a round with those little beauties."

Pu Ta smiled evilly and nodded his head. "Of course, how could I not share these little beauties with you guys?"

They had done similar things in the past, and after Pu Ta was done playing with the women he likes, he will then pass them to his subordinates to play with. Because of this, he gained the loyalty of his men.

Cale's lips twitched after hearing them speak as if they were already a meal within their grasps. 'Looks like I don't need to move this time. Sigh! You could have stayed silent, but you chose to court death by provoking Aurora.' 

Everyone suddenly felt that the temperature around them dropped considerably. An overpowering aura descended on everyone, making their breaths turn ragged.

Suddenly, countless snowflakes gently rained down on Pu Ta and his men. Even Cale felt a chill after seeing it. 

"This is Aurora's Frozen End Domain. Only someone who had reached the Earth Enlightenment Stage can control the power of domain." Asteria explained in an indifferent voice inside Cale's head.

"What's an Earth Enlightenment Stage? And domain, what is that?" It was the first time that Cale heard these terms from Asteria, so he was curious about it.

"Do you really think that the Immortal-Class level is already the peak of cultivation? Well, you can't be blamed since you came from a desolate land with little elemental and origin essence.

Cale, after you form your nascent soul, you will reach the true beginning of the cultivation path. As for the Earth Enlightenment Stage and the power of domain, you will eventually learn these things as you progress in your cultivation path." Asteria's tone was a bit condescending, but Cale was already used to it, so he did not mind. Nonetheless, he was infinitely shocked by Asteria's words. He finally realized that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well. He was like an ant trapped in a sandbox unable to explore the garden outside.

A burning d_e_s_i_r_e for strength enveloped his heart all of sudden, making Asteria smile contentedly. 'As a Law Fragment holder, you were long since destined to walk the path of gods and goddesses. And this is merely the prologue of your journey towards godhood.'

Meanwhile, the beautiful snowflakes landed on the bodies of Pu Ta and his subordinates. And the moment it touched them, they felt their scalp tingle in dread. Their bodies were slowly turning into an ice sculpture, and they were powerless to do anything about it.

"This... This lord... Stay your hand... I am the son of Count Pu Lutan. He is an Immortal-Class level expert and...and..." Pu Ta's teeth were clattering as he spoke. Both his arms and legs had turned into ice. An intense feeling of despair invaded his heart. 

He thought that someone from the imperial family had known their actions and were punishing them, but he never would have thought that it was actually one of the women in front of him who did it.

"As... As lo-long as you set us free, then... then my Pu Family will reward you handsomely." Pu Ta gritted his teeth. He can no longer feel his body, making him very alarmed 

Cale walked nonchalantly towards the stunned Wenren Wushuang and helped him stand up. His injuries were quite heavy, but it was not life-threatening. After eating a few healing pills, he will be able to fully recover.

"You can stay with us as of the moment. You don't have to worry about the imperial family either. We are allies and it's only natural for us to help each other. As for these people...Sigh! They provoked the wrong woman." Cale shook his head with a faint smile on his face. 

Wenren Wushuang was surprised at Cale's indifferent attitude. And based on his words, the thing that happened to Pu Ta and his subordinates might be related to one of the women who came with Cale. And among the three of them, two are at the initial stage of the Saint-Class level. So the remaining one must be the cause for their predicament. Thinking up to that, he glanced at the veiled beauty with a bit of fear. 'So that's why I can't feel her cultivation. Since that's the case... This man beside me should also be...' He felt a chill run down his spine. To think that these newcomers actually had two Immortal-Class level experts. Just who were they?

Because Cale's aura was masked by Asteria, Wenren Wushuang thought that he was also an Immortal-Class level expert.

"Thank you for saving this lowly one, sire." Wenren Wushuang bowed down his head with difficulty. 

Cale smiled at him and nodded his head before glancing at Pu Ta and his subordinates. Only their heads were yet to be turned into ice, but some of them already passed out. He was a bit surprised that a silkpants like Pu Ta was still able to hold on up until now. 

With Aurora's present strength, she can only control a portion of her Frozen End Domain. But it was more than enough to kill the likes of Pu Ta and his subordinates. Even Immortal-Class level experts would be wary of her domain, despite its weakened form. If it were during her peak strength, then they would not even last for more than three seconds before turning into ice sculptures.

Although she was taken away by Asteria, her nascent soul was destroyed by the Demon Immortal Azazel during their last battle, making her cultivation regress by an entire realm. As of the moment, she can only control a part of her Frozen End Domain.

Pu Ta wanted to speak, but his throat had turned into ice, making it impossible for him to emit even a despairing sound. 

He would have not ambushed Wenren Wushuang if he knew this would happen.

Aurora suddenly frowned after feeling a strong aura locking onto her. 

"This young lady, please release my son." A slightly pudgy middle-aged man with small round eyes descended slowly from the sky. His eyes were narrowed into slits as he glanced at Aurora warily. 'This woman is actually a late stage Immortal-Class level expert! This unfilial son of mine kicked the wrong stone this time. Shit!'  He knew the nature of his son very well. After one glance at the scene, he knew that his son provoked their group. 

Aurora remained silent and merely glance at the pudgy man. He was the father of Pu Ta, the head of the Pu Family, Count Pu Lutan.

He was also an Immortal-Class level expert, but he was only at the initial stage. Thus, he was inwardly afraid of the woman in front of him. It was also the first time he saw the kind of power she released. Even the emperor was incapable of doing it. 'Just who is this woman?'

"Young lady, I promise that if you release my son, I will provide you with ample compensation." Pu Lutan forced a crooked smile on his chubby face which made his small eyes almost non-existent.

Pu Ta was his only son, and although he had an unruly nature, his talent in martial arts was also much better than himself. He was the future of their Pu Family and the only hope so that they can rise in power.

"Haha!" 

Pu Lutan frowned after hearing a burst of stifled laughter from the side. He then glanced at the masked young man who was staring at him with a mocking smile.

He felt rage in his heart, but he did not dare reveal his anger. He can't feel the other party's cultivation level at all! 'Just who did you provoke Pu Ta?! It looks like my Pu Family will end in my hands, just because of this unfilial son of mine! F_u_c_k_i_n_g bastard!' 

"Aurora, it's better if we hand this fatty to the imperial family. As for his son... Kill." Cale calmly said which made Pu Lutan's countenance darken. 

"Nooo!"
