Chapter 145 Is There A Problem?
Li Xiandao walked over slowly. Under the terrified gazes of the Ice Plains Demon Sect members, he looked at the ice well.
“This is her tomb?” Li Xiandao frowned as he looked around. This was a world of extreme ice and the temperature was really low. When one stepped on the ground, it was really hard and it felt the same as stepping on an iron board.
Moon Angel nodded and said, “The Sect Leader of Ice Plains Demon Sect buried her here 50 years ago.”
“What about the corpse?” Li Xiandao looked at the bottomless well and asked.
Moon Angel sucked with her palm, releasing thick moon energy into the well.
Ka ka ka!
An exquisite coffin slowly floated up from within.
This was a transparent ice coffin that clearly displayed the person who was laying inside.
It was a girl!
A very beautiful girl!
She was like the girl next door, very pure and clean. Even after death when she was laying in the coffin, she was still smiling like she had just fallen asleep. Li Xiandao took out the contract and the signature on it shone bright which proved that this woman was the one who signed it.
It was her!
Li Xiandao frowned as he didn’t sense any sign of life from her body.
No breathing!
No heartbeat!
No soul activity!
She was a corpse!
Dong!
The coffin was placed on ice and a low sound reverberated throughout the area. This was because the coffin was made of 1,000-year ice that was really dense and heavy.
Moon Angel immediately opened the lid of the coffin and this lady was revealed under the sunlight.
Her skin was frosty and standing close, one could feel the entire body freezing up and her smile was really unnatural.
This was a sign of death.
A sign that one had been frozen for a long time.
Heaven Heart said, “Master, she is dead.”
Li Xiandao kept silent and looked on. He even shot a thread of sword energy into her body.
Her meridians were tightly shut, her dantian was shriveled up, and her mind was dried up. Everything showed that she was dead.
But if she died, then why was the contract still valid?
After entering Ancient Desolate Land, many of the Bank of the Universe contracts were invalid due to the deaths of the debtors.
Why was this one left out?
Li Xiandao contacted Seven, “Do you see this?
Seven guessed, “The person is dead but the contract is still valid. This is very interesting.”
Li Xiandao nodded his head and knew that someone was trying to con the Bank of the Universe?
Li Xiandao asked, “Who is the Sect Leader of Ice Plains Demon Sect?”
An initial Great Saint middle-aged man was brought over and he looked at Li Xiandao in terror.
Especially after seeing Moon Angel Usuna standing to the side, he panicked even more.
After all, she had just killed many of the people in Ice Plains Demon Sect and left her mark on all of them.
“I am the Sect Leader of Ice Plains Demon Sect.” The Sect Leader trembled and said.
“Who is this woman to you?” Li Xiandao asked.
“Her name is Qiu Bai and she is one of the senior elders in Ice Plains Demon Sect. She reached Dao Saint Realm and was really old. She is one generation older than my Master.” Sect Leader replied.
“Did anything weird happen when she died 50 years ago?” Li Xiandao stood with his hands behind his back and continued asking.
“There was nothing abnormal as she was very old. Although she looked really young, we all knew that she was about to die.” Sect Leader replied right away.
Li Xiandao saw how fast he replied and said calmly, “You must think carefully. Any word you say will affect the life and death of Ice Plains Demon Sect. Think about it carefully. Tell me everything about the time before, during, and after her death.”
The Ice Plains Demon Sect’s Sect Leader was so frightened that he shuddered. He didn’t want Ice Plains Demon Sect to be wiped out just because of this.
“I’ve recalled something.” Sect Leader thought about it and said emotionally.
Li Xiandao said expressionlessly, “Speak.”
“When she was about to die, a few of the elders and I were called and she gave us instructions.” The Sect Leader said.
“What did she say?” Li Xiandao’s interest was perked.
He didn’t look at the Sect Leader but at the girl in the coffin.
Her name was Qiu Bai and she was over 10,000 years old but still had the face of a young girl.
She had not only the youthful look, but the youthful aura too. From his first glance, she gave off a ‘girl next door’ vibe.
This was something very unbelievable because when one was near to the end of their life, their body would weaken. Every part of them would slow down and collapse and they wouldn’t be able to maintain their peak appearance, much less the beauty of their prime.
“She told us that we shall use the 1,000-year ice from the north to craft a coffin for her and place her inside. We would then open an ice well and preserve her body so that it never decomposes.” Sect Leader said.
Li Xiandao frowned, “Never decompose?
“Your Senior Master is very vain?” Li Xiandao asked.
“We couldn’t tell, but we followed her instructions. After all, all of the Ice Plains Demon Sect Dao Saints want to look their best when they die. Thus, we followed her instructions, and 50 years have passed since then.” Sect Leader replied.
“Did anything weird happen during these 50 years?” Li Xiandao asked again.
“No. We have been living well and if all of you haddn’t come, she would have been buried deep down.” Sect Leader shook his head.
“When she died did she leave anything?” Li Xiandao looked at the Sect Leader.
“No, when she died the disciples helped to change her clothes. As for treasures, she melted them long ago because she felt like others shouldn’t touch stuff she’s used before.” The Sect Leader said without any hesitation.
Li Xiandao realized that he had no emotional fluctuation at all, so he was definitely telling the truth.
“You are saying that this Senior Master is a clean freak?” Li Xiandao had an idea and asked.
“Right, which is why she didn’t want to be buried in the ground or have an orthodox burial. She herself chose the location.” The Sect Leader nodded his head.
“Since this is the case, then I will take the corpse away. Ice Plains Demon Sect is safe and just pretend like I never came.” Li Xiandao looked at the Sect Leader with a calm expression. The Sect Leader was petrified and nodded his head.
“No problem, we are willing to cooperate with you.” Sect Leader gave up on the corpse.
“Moon Angel Usuna, carry the coffin and we shall leave.” Li Xiandao turned around and left.
Heaven Heart followed and said softly, “Master, what happened?”
“When one dies, the contract ends. This means that there is a problem here.” Li Xiandao said quickly.
“What do you think is the problem?” Li Xiandao asked Heaven Heart.
Heaven Heart was stunned. How was he going to answer that? “It is definitely something wrong with her!” Usuna said decisively.
“Right, Seven prepared the contract, so there should be no problem there.” Li Xiandao nodded his head in agreement.
Heaven Heart understood how he should have answered the question. He secretly gave Moon Angel the thumbs up.
