Chapter 648: Capturing Old Winter and Summer

Recently, Winter Frost and Summer Flame were in an extremely bad mood. They had personally participated in setting a trap for Xiang Shaoyun, intending to capture and bring him back to the Ziling Sect. However, not only had they failed to capture Xiang Shaoyun, they had also been humiliated, and it filled them with resentment.

When they returned to the Nisha Range after failing to capture Xiang Shaoyun, they found that even the nether prison devil puppet was gone and Zhu Changchuang was dead. They had a hard time accepting the facts.

On top of that, they could no longer sense Lady Shura. They assumed that their seal had been removed, and were thus forced to give up on looking for Xiang Shaoyun and were forced to pay the Dragon Phoenix Academy a visit.

"I heard that the seventh young master had discovered that place as well, but I don't know if it's true. The sect master had commanded us to immediately group with the others from the sect after finishing up here. We can't afford to waste more time here," said Winter Frost.

"Um. That is most likely true. We need to replace that place as soon as possible, and do it before the academy. Otherwise, we won't get anything from that place, and it will be too big of a loss," said Summer Flame. "That Xiang Shaoyun is incredibly annoying. He is able to escape every time we replace him. If he continues growing like this, he will become a threat to us sooner or later."

"He is indeed worthy of being Xiang Yangzhan's son, though. If he had displayed similar talent during his time at the sect, those people wouldn’t have dared to join the sect master in the rebellion back then," said Winter Frost with a sigh.

"The next time we meet him, we must capture him at all cost," said Summer Flame with a ruthless glint in his eyes.

The two traveled as they conversed.

Suddenly, Winter Frost cried out, "I sense the seal on that girl!"

"What's going on?" Summer Flame was confused.

"Wait, let me focus," said Winter Frost before shutting his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "She's actually at the other side of the Nisha Range. Let's rush over!"

"Wait, something is fishy about this," said Summer Flame. "We haven't been able to sense her all this while. Why can we suddenly sense her again?"

"Xiang Shaoyun must have used some trick to isolate our seal. Now that he believes we have departed, he finally exposed himself since he has no way of completely hiding the seal," guessed Winter Frost.

Summer Flame gave it some thought and said, "True. I doubt that kid can play any tricks on us anyway. It won't hurt to go take a look."

And thus, the two changed direction and headed to the other side of the Nisha Range. They were heading towards a lush forest, the place where Xiang Shaoyun, Shang Jifeng, Shang Yafang, and the others were waiting.

Xiang Shaoyun had released Lady Shura when nobody was paying attention to him. Shang Jifeng and Shang Yafang had no idea how Xiang Shaoyun had gotten her out, and they were both extremely shocked when she appeared out of nowhere.

Even the Sovereigns that had come with them were completely clueless. Of course, nobody questioned Xiang Shaoyun as everyone had their secrets. After releasing Lady Shura, Xiang Shaoyun had the Shang Clan Sovereigns conceal themselves as they waited for the arrival of Winter Frost and Summer Flame.

Time passed slowly as they waited calmly. They were not sure if Winter Frost and Summer Flame would come, but since they were already here, they might as well be patient and wait for a bit. They had allocated seven days for this ambush. If nobody came after seven days, this ambush would be declared as a failure.

Geezers, you better not disappoint me, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

In less than half a day, Winter Frost and Summer Flame arrived in the air above them.

"Something feels wrong," said Summer Flame with a frown.

"Yes, I feel the same." Winter Frost nodded in agreement.

After exchanging a glance, the two braced themselves for trouble. Instead of rushing straight down, they spread their senses into the forest. Soon, they discovered Xiang Shaoyun, Lady Shura, a man, and a woman.

"It's them! Let me go capture them!" said Winter Frost as he rushed straight down. After a slight hesitation, Summer Flame followed him as well.

"Xiang Shaoyun, how are you going to escape us now?" Winter Frost roared as he slammed a frozen palm down at them.

The frozen palm was akin to a massive ice mirror falling from the sky, freezing everyone, including the Shang Clan siblings. It was at this moment that the Shang Clan Sovereigns made their move. Several powerful energies burst forth. One of the Sovereigns smashed the frozen palm apart while the others surrounded Winter Frost and Summer Flame.

"Shit! This is a trap!" They finally realized their predicament, but it was too late.

"Old Winter and Summer, today is the day you face judgment," said Xiang Shaoyun in excitement.

The two were old dogs of Di Batian. Xiang Shaoyun felt massive joy at being able to take these two down. Winter Frost and Summer Flame did not dare to stay and immediately tried breaking free of the encirclement. Unfortunately for them, the Shang Clan had deployed a ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm expert. Just him alone was enough to handle the two, not to mention the other Soul Foundation Realm experts around them.

The battle ended without suspense. The two were captured by the Sovereigns. Even when the two tried using their joint battle technique to break free, they were suppressed by the ninth-stage Sovereign. They could no longer escape.

The Shang Clan Sovereigns fulfilled Xiang Shaoyun's request of capturing the two alive. After the two were beaten up badly, their soul foundations were sealed, making it impossible for them to even recover their combat prowess.

"Thank you for the help, lords," said Xiang Shaoyun when Winter Frost and Summer Flame were delivered to him.

"You're welcome," said the old man leading the group. "Although these two have been put under control, we don't know if they have any trump cards left. You need to be careful and not let them try anything."

"Don't worry, I'll be cautious," said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

After taking his leave, he brought the two to somewhere silent. There, he would attempt to control them with his Nether Dragon Soul Curse. The two had all their limbs broken and their internal organs badly damaged. On top of that, their soul foundations had been sealed. For now, they would pose no threat to Xiang Shaoyun.

"Have you imagined this happening?" Xiang Shaoyun asked with a sneer as he dumped them onto the ground.

"If y-you want to kill us, j-just d-do it...," said Winter Frost weakly.

"Th-that's right. If w-we as m-much as blink when you're doing it...w-we're b-bastards!" said Summer Flame unyieldingly.

"Don't worry. I won't kill you. In fact, I will let you live well," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sinister smile on his face.
