The Rebirth Of Ice Emperor
Chapter 12 - Patriach's Welcome
“Hah.... I am actually quite confident in my ability to determine directions but....if this continues to be – can a week not necessarily make it through this forest” Lian was sitting lethargic.
He had been walking for some hours and the tracks of the White Crow Sect's carriage were no longer visible. Several times Lian found a crossroads, initially there were only two options. Left or right.
But over time the branch – branches of the path increased to touch the number twenty. Frustrated, Lian finally decided to rest for a while while making her eighth torch.
Fortunately tree branches were also abundant rocks scattered on the surface of the forest land, just now he managed to ignite the fire. The sound of laughter of women telling each other to make the entire feather stand up.
GLAKES!
“I did live alone on the farm but.I know for sure the sound just now is not a good sign”.
Lian was not a coward, but also not as generous as many Windless Heights Valley residents expected. However, a subtle creature like a demon was still terrible for an eleven year old boy.
From the first time he stepped in, he felt like he was being watched by many eyes. At first Lian thought that these beasts did not dare to attack because they carried fire, but if it turned out that they were not animals it would be a very scary fact.
When she was about to take a thousand steps, Lian found through the corner of her eyes a girl wearing a green dress. Although only visible back, Lian was sure that the girl had extraordinary beauty.
“Hihihi chasing me if you can”
“Eh? Hey wait!”
Without thinking long Lian immediately followed the direction of the departure and left the path, she hunted – hurriedly broke through the fog afraid if not fast then lost track. After about thirty minutes of tailing, the girl stopped.
“Hah....Miss...sorry before...but will you tell me the way to—“.
YO!!!
Lian's heart nearly dislodged as the head of a giant green snake appeared out of nowhere swallowing the body of the girl just now. He screamed loudly while frothing to protect his body parts, Lian closed her eyes strong – prepared to receive the worst possible that did not come.
“What – what?”
It turned out that so daring to look again, the terrifying snake had already disappeared. Not even a trace. Lian is sure there must be at least some broken tree branches considering the size of the body is very large.
“Hehehe...come – here! Find me!”
From behind the fog, this time saw another girl. Lian could tell from the color of her dress and her posture with a single look. Having no choice, he decided to follow the new figure. But when Lian tried to touch it, it turned into a white light like a firefly – fireflies.
Such incidents kept repeating, there was another young woman who when Lian tried to talk to her was wrapped by giant flower petals and disappeared into the ground. Girl flute player with tone – tones faltered but memorable beautiful. And lastly petite women surrounded by animals – fiery red-eyed wild animals.
Fatigue, Lian lost balance due to tripping over the roots of the tree and then drilled down from the cliff not too sloping to be unconscious. When he opened his eyes, his mouth was gawking at a beautiful gate far away.
He looked back and found the foggy forest before, miraculously Lian managed to get out even without herself knowing how. He gave a grateful salute before moving swiftly towards the entrance of the White Crow Sect.

“When others are looking at prospective – prospective new students full of enthusiasm, we are instead stuck here...”.
“You're right, damn it I heard some have incredible beauty. Although I can only dream of Senior Yin Kiev, is not the opportunity to get the adorable sister – still wide open. The heavens? Why?”
This pair of youths were members of the White Crow Sect, both of them were tasked with guarding the outer gate when the sect was holding a new disciple registration. They are only able to lament the bad nasip and swallow round – keluh kahah belonging to each – each.
One minute later arrived – arrived two young gatekeepers put on standby. Although the distance was still too far away, it was not a significant obstacle for Cultivators like them. There is a boy – men heading to where the two stand.
“Stop, tell me who you are and what your destination is Kari” one of you directly pointed his spear at.
Lian told all the background as well as the reason she came to the White Crow Sect with breathless – gasps. The gatekeepers stared at each other pityingly, because they knew the feeling of Lian wanting to become a Cultivator to change her nationality. Because both used to be.
“Sorry Little brother, but registration was closed last night. Even some students have started it since two weeks ago”
“Oh. Thank you for the information Senior, then I'll excuse me
The pair of gatekeepers felt bad but want how else, the rules remain rules. A second later, Lian turned the body. There appeared two dense aura figures calling out, one of them a man as thick as a long beard. While his friend is a handsome –-faced man with silver eyes.
“Stop”
“Hmm?”
“Patriach!” the two guards immediately knelt down, their faces pale. Didn't expect that the sect master would show himself there.
“Let him enter and participate, Instructor Gong? Will you take her to the exam location?”
“Sure Patriach, come here son. May I know your name?” the bearded grandfather smiled amiably.
“My name is Lian, thank you Patriach!” without waiting for the boy to bow down in gratitude.
The Patriach White Crow Sect only nodded before disappearing in a single breath, while Intruscture Gong invited Lian to come with him. When the air of the three of them was gone, then the two young gatekeepers could breathe a sigh of relief.
“Hah....hah...hah...what – what was that? I can't believe I saw Patriach himself coming to the outermost gate for the sake of an obscure boy—“
THE PLAQUE!
“Stupid! Lower your voice, you're looking to die huh?! How about Patriach hear it!?”
“Maaf”
“But you don't think that kid was interesting? He said that he tailed the train of the sect to come here? How can?”
“Eh? After thinking – thought you were right too!? How could the boy pass through the Illusionary Mist Forest?!”
The Illusionary Mist Forest was a magical forest surrounding the White Crow Sect headquarters. History says that the founders of the sect used special formations to make it very difficult to pass.
Anyone who was not a member of the White Crow Sect trying to pass through would be lost for at least ten years. This makes the Illusionary Mist Forest the main defensive wall of the White Crow Sect from the attacks of the other – sects.
“I don't know how lucky he is, but getting out of there is an achievement in itself”
“Hei? Do you know about the legendary story of this outermost gate?”
“Mmm? Which one?”
“Say whenever the Patriach or the Matriach White Crow Sect comes to pick up guests directly here. That person has an important role and has the potential to shake the world of Cultivator”
“You just made up a story”
“No! The story just written in the history of the sect, hundreds of years ago our Old Matriach once welcomed a practicing genius here. It happened almost exactly as we saw before”
