“What made you so flustered?” Su Mo asked in puzzlement.

Under Su Mo’s guidance, Shi Xingde and the others were now as capable as the so-called geniuses of the floating island. They were almost as good as some of the other clan masters when they were younger.

The subordinates had improved exponentially over the past month. Zhou Ping and Shi Heshuo had also promptly assumed their alchemist and beastmaster roles.

The six subordinates were going down the mountain to sell some extra pills for spirit rocks. Then with those spirit rocks, they would purchase some resources needed for their daily cultivation.

Nonetheless, the entire floating island knew that Su Mo was not to be trifled with since he managed to kill the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan. No one should dare to mess with the people of the Crimson Heart Clan.

“One of our brethren has been captured by his former enemy,” Guo Zhemao replied.

Then Guo Zhemao told Su Mo what happened to Yu Yuanjia

Yu Yuanjia once had a companion, but the clan master of the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan took a fancy to Yu Yuanjia’s companion and forcefully took her away. However, the woman refused to comply and ended her own life in the end.

The clan master of the Hornless Ice Dragons was unable to claim the beauty for himself, so he decided to vent his anger on Yu Yuanjia.

Fortunately, Yu Yuanjia came to the Crimson Heart Village with the sixth elder of the Cerulean Ocean Blades and was then taken in by Su Mo. Yu Yuanjia was not well known, so almost no one knew that he went missing.

Otherwise, knowing the behavior of the Cerulean Ocean Blades, they would’ve handed Yu Yuanjia over to the Hornless Ice Dragons.

“Who is the one who abducted Yu Yuanjia?” Su Mo immediately asked.

Su Mo finally understood why Yu Yuanjia’s loyalty level was stuck at eighty-five and could not reach one hundred. Yu Yuanjia was afraid that his identity would be exposed, implicating the Crimson Heart Village.

“It was the first elder of the Hornless Ice Dragons who abducted Yu Yuanjia! That man is currently in the Golden Core Realm,” Shi Xingde quickly said.

“All right, I got it.” You guys wait for me to return to the village. Don’t go out no matter what,” Su Mo ordered.

“Don’t be so rash, Clan Master Su! The Hornless Ice Dragons are not a clan that we can handle,” Guo Zhemao quickly advised.

“What? A brethren of ours has been taken, yet you expect me to stay here and do nothing? The difference in strength between their clan and me means nothing,” Su Mo said confidently.

“Whoever offends us or even kills us will have to face the wrath of our clan master!” Shi Xinde shouted.

“Only those who fear death will die,” Su Mo said indifferently and flew into the sky.

“Do you think Clan Master Su will be okay?” Guo Zhemao asked with a hint of doubt.

“Of course, he will. He’s our clan master, after all!” Shi Xingde said.

“Forget it. You are too simple-minded.” Guo Zhemao did not want to talk to Shi Xingde any longer.

It was not Guo Zhe Mao’s fault that Shi Xingde was innocent, but the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan was simply too strong. They were the second most imposing clan on the floating island.

The clan master, Hornless Dragon, had once inherited the soul of the Hornless Ice Dragon. His talent was outstanding, and he was a pure swordsman, like the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan.

However, his cultivation realm was much higher than the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades. It was said that he had recently become a Golden Core Realm Expert.

The disciples of the Hornless Ice Dragons were also more capable than the disciples of the Myriad Flower Blades. One of the most notable things about the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan was that they possessed six elders that were Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Their overall strength was comparable to the Cerulean Ocean Blades, so it was unwise to confront the Hornless Ice Dragons head-on with the current state of the Crimson Heart Clan.

Hornless Dragon was just as overbearing as Li Jianting. Over the years, Hornless Dragon had done many sinister and unforgivable things and ultimately pushed the blame onto the Crimson Heart Clan.

The most detestable thing he did was when he obtained the Hornless Ice Dragon’s soul and influenced its behavior. Hornless Dragon was a lustful man, causing the Hornless Ice Dragon to become lustful as well.

Hornless Dragon would not be happy if a woman weren’t by his side. He was also known to possess a bizarre fetish. No matter the female disciple he chose to be his partner, they would have a tragic fate.

However, Hornless Dragon was mighty, and the people on the floating island dared not voice their anger.

“Hornless Dragon! I’ve come to settle a score!” Su Mo said as he floated in the sky.

As the information on the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan appeared in Su Mo’s mind, the tragic events of the Crimson Heart Clan also began to appear.

The Cerulean Ocean Blades weren’t the first to assault the Crimson Heart Village. The Hornless Ice Dragon Clan once did despicable things to them as well.

But the Hornless Ice Dragons personally swept the situation under the rug.

So when Su Mo heard that a member of the Hornless Ice Dragons had kidnapped his disciple, new and old grudges were reignited in Su Mo’s heart, and he could no longer remain calm at the thought of this.

However, Su Mo had built deeper relationships with his disciples and increased his cultivation realm. He was no longer the Su Mo of the past. He was utterly confident that he could handle whatever Hornless Dragon had to offer.

…

“Kid, tell me about the condition of the Crimson Heart Clan, and what is the deal with the young man who claims to be the new clan master of the Crimson Hearts?” The first elder of the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan asked while holding a rope.

The first elder didn’t intend on catching Yu Yuanjia. Instead, he volunteered to check on the situation at the Crimson Heart Village after learning that they had been revived.

They were one of the many clans that kept a close watch on the Crimson Hearts. It was just that no one had dared to enter the Crimson Heart Village without first obtaining intel on the Crimson Hearts.

After all, it was rumored that a mysterious force had been supporting the Crimson Hearts.

“Since you’ve already caught me, you can kill or cut me up as you wish. But you’re dreaming if you think I’m going to betray my clan master!” Yu Yuanjia said firmly.

Yu Yuanjia understood that he was just an underling and that the Hornless Ice Dragons were not interested in him. However, the first elder had abducted Yu Yuanjia because he had a grudge against Hornless Dragon. The first elder also wanted to inquire about the situation at the Crimson Heart Village.

“You’re bold. I’ll give you that. It looks like I will have to give you some of the good stuff to make you talk!”

After saying that, the first elder took out a blue-colored pill from his breast pocket.

“This is the Blue Ice Pill that our clan master personally refined. It’s extremely nourishing yet deadly poisonous! After swallowing it, the cold poison will enter your body, and you’ll be in so much pain that you will wish that you were dead! Do you have anything to say now?” The first elder waved the pill in his hand and asked.

“You wrinkly old b*stard! Don’t even talk about poisonous pills. I’m not going to tell you anything, even if you skin me alive. I should’ve died a long time ago! Do you think that I’m afraid of such a thing?” Yu Yuanjia retorted.

When Yu Yuanjia’s beloved companion was taken away by force, Yu Yuanjia felt that he had nothing else to live for. He was ready to die.

It was until he began his new life in the Crimson Heart Village that he started to feel hope again. He wanted to get his revenge, so he worked hard to become stronger.

“I was hoping you’d continue to behave so stubbornly.”

The first elder did not believe in men with strong wills, nor did he believe in his fellow disciples. He just felt that his punishment was not harsh enough.

After saying that, the first elder opened Yu Yuanjia’s mouth and forcefully fed the Blue Ice Pill to him.

Although the Blue Ice Pill was a poisonous nourishment medicine, unless one had a strong physique or had the bloodline of the Hornless Ice Dragon Clan, one would die if one were to take it.

“Remember to tell me if you can’t hold on anymore, so I can give you the antidote!” The first elder said coldly.

Then, he grabbed Yu Yuanjia and flew to the Hornless Ice Dragon Village.

Yu Yuanjia was trembling uncontrollably. He was freezing as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Yu Yuanjia’s body was even covered in frost. However, he didn’t say a word.

“Stop!”
