Chapter 39: Ice Sharpness
Cole's previous threat almost scared both Cross and Marek.

There is no level nine warrior who does not want to break through that layer of shackles and become a high and mighty saint.

However, the stage from level nine to the Holy Domain is called "shackles" because it is rare for a Holy Domain warrior to appear among hundreds of level nine warriors.

Ninth-level warrior, in the Wakanda plane, many people reach this level almost every year.

However, a strong person in the Saint Realm will only appear once every ten or twenty years.

Sometimes, it may take thirty to fifty years for a Sanctuary to appear in the entire Wakanda continent.

This shows how difficult it is to break through this shackle.

It has been more than two hundred years since Cross and others reached the ninth level of warriors.

It was precisely because they knew that they had almost no chance of breaking through the Holy Land that when they received Bolton's invitation, they did not hesitate and joined the Tsunami Legion, intending to gain a good origin for their offspring.

Although Lord Bolton was killed by Lord Locke in the end, their goal was achieved.

Under the leadership of Lord Locke, they defeated the Knights of the Temple of Light, regained the territory, and became Viscounts of Locke.

However, during the period when they were in charge of Locke Territory, some people from the Temple of Light secretly came into contact with them.

It was from those people that Cross and his four companions realized that there were such good things in this world!

Of course, although Cross and his five companions were very tempted, they also knew that if they did such a thing, it would be tantamount to betraying Grand Duke Locke.

If Grand Duke Locke was just an ordinary sanctuary, Cross and his four companions probably wouldn't be so entangled.

After all, once they find those people with special souls and successfully complete the sacrifice, who wouldn’t be a sanctuary?
However, as the five commanders of the Tsunami Legion, they witnessed with their own eyes how Lord Locke easily killed Lord Bolton, and how he easily killed two Saint Domain strongmen from the Knights of the Temple of Light...

There is no doubt that even in the holy land, there are ordinary holy lands and very powerful holy lands.

The Cross team is self-aware.

They knew that even if the five of them achieved the Holy Land through means such as sacrifice at the Temple of Light, they would never be the strongest in the Holy Land.

Even if they have five Sanctuaries on their side, if they are hunted down by Lord Locke, their fate will not be much better than that of Lord Bolton and the two Sanctuaries of the Temple of Light.

It is true that they want to become a sanctuary, gain great power, and eternal life.

But that must be based on your own survival.

If they had just achieved the holy realm and Lord Locke came to kill them the next second, what would they do?
With the strength displayed by Lord Locke, they all doubted that, apart from the Pope of Light, there was anyone in the Temple of Light who could be Lord Locke's opponent.

However, faced with such temptation, how could the five of them resist?
So, after several years of discussion, Cross and his five companions reached an agreement!
They wanted to drag Lord Locke's brother Cole into the water and make Cole a part of their plan.

They believed that as Lord Locke's younger brother, even if Cole betrayed the Frost and Snow Empire and became a sanctuary of the Temple of Light, Lord Locke would never kill Cole.

It is possible that Lord Locke will give up his title of the Frost Empire and join Lord Cole in the arms of the God of Light after Lord Cole joins him.

At that time, they were still under the command of Lord Locke.

With Lord Locke's protection, they will also receive more attention in the Temple of Light.

By then, maybe the five of them could get rewards from the Pope of the Temple of Light for bringing a powerful sanctuary to the Temple of Light.

So, Cross and his five teammates are serious about working with Cole.

……

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Locke's body streaked across the sky like a meteor.

Without using fighting spirit or magic power to form a protective shield outside the body, the cold wind blew on Locke's face, causing Locke to squint his eyes.

To be honest, whether in the previous life or this life, Locke felt that he had not fulfilled his duties as a son.

In his previous life, because he married the wrong person, Locke was burdened with debts and his parents had to work hard to help him.

Even when Locke became successful and wanted to become the breadwinner of the family, his parents refused his help, saying that Locke only needed to take care of his own family and they were not old enough to need a child to take care of them.

Later, there was no later.

Because Locke has come to the Panlong Universe!

In this life, Locke wants to fulfill his filial piety.

But who would have thought that due to a secluded retreat, he would miss the opportunity to see his parents for the last time.

In his two lifetimes, Locke failed to fulfill his filial duties to his parents, which had a great impact on Locke's mind.

Locke's thoughts seemed to penetrate his own soul and affect the heaven and earth.

The endless sadness seemed to make the temperature of the air around Locke drop a few degrees.

There were strands of frost on Locke's hair and eyebrows.

Looking from the ground, Locke looked like a jet plane, with white mist behind him, leaving a white trail in the sky.

"Whoosh!"

This time, Locke flew at full speed. In less than a day, he had traveled from Locke Territory, through Bidiya Territory and half of Embo Territory, and arrived at Pu'er Village.

Floating above Pu'er Village, Locke looked at the hometown where he was born.

Now I am almost a hundred years old, and I hardly know any of the villagers in Pu'er Village.

However, the people here seem to be no different from more than ninety years ago.

After releasing an ability that could affect other people's vision on himself, Locke slowly lowered himself down.

It has been nearly forty years since Locke left Pu'er Village.

The cabin that Locke had built was now covered with vines, and it looked quite different.

However, Locke originally only used ordinary wood for the convenience of living. After decades, some of the wood in the house has completely rotted.

The villagers of Pu'er Village built a bamboo fence around the house to prevent the children from coming here to play and accidentally collapsing the house and getting injured.

Of course, not all wood is completely rotten.

Some of the wood also sprouted tender green branches, as if they were living a second life.

In the yard in front of this cabin, there are two earthen mounds, and in front of the mounds stands a stone tablet.

This was the final residence of Locke's parents.
