    "The Pce Master ising back!"


    Inside a beautiful ice pce, there was arge-scalemotion. Many powerful masters from the Ice Maiden Pce abruptly opened their eyes.


    Irrespective of their whereabouts within the pce, they tore the space apart and rushed to the great hall.


    Within seconds, multiple women materialized within the great hall, each more beautiful than fairies from heaven. They weren''t helpless like beautiful flowers either, but also held overwhelming strength.


    Even the weakest person that was allowed to be present within the great hall to wee the Pce Master, was as strong as Lysander who ruled over Primordial Hell, if not more.


    "Wee Back, Master!" The seven women went down on a knee the moment they saw the fabric of space splitting apart. It signalled the arrival of the Pce Master, but they could also feel that he wasn''t alone.


    "I can feel fluctuating life signals. Is the Pce Master injured?" A silver haired woman raised her head.


    "That''s absurd. There is no one in that ce who could hurt the Pce Master." The woman next to her grabbed the back of her head, and forcefully lowered her head. "Next time you utter such nonsense, I will forget that you are a Pce Elder."


    "I am certain that someone is injured. But as theye closer, it bes obvious that it''s one of the people apanying Pce Master. It seems I was wrong in my earlier assumption."


    Within seconds, the spatial crack stabilized and a person stepped out of the stack. It was a girl, who looked younger than the Pce Master, but still shared some facial characteristics.


    "Is it the Young Lady?" The Elders raised their heads, finding the girl to be a splitting image of the Pce Master.


    After Estelia, Trisa also stepped out of the spatial crack. But she wasn''t alone either. She was carrying a pale young man in her arms


    "Pce Master, he is...?" The Elders grimaced at the condition of the young boy, whose life essence felt seriously injured.


    It was as if his life was hanging by a threat. It was even a miracle that he was still breathing even after his body was wrecked so badly.


    "Check his condition and tell me what''s wrong with him!" The Pce Master ced Eren on the ground in front of one of the Pce Elders who was more knowledgeable about such matters.


    The Pce Elder reached out her hand, and grabbed Eren''s hands. She started using her frozen essence to probe Eren''s body.


    "Hmm?" Her essence was able to enter Eren''s body with ease, but it wasn''t able to return. The moment her essence entered his body, it just disappeared as if there was nothing but a void in his body.


    "I can''t check his condition. Something is really wrong with his body. Who is he?" The Elder released Eren''s hand and raised her head for answers. "If I know what led to this, maybe I might be able to help him even without being able to check."


    "He is someone very important to me. No matter what happens, you must save him! Even if it needs all the ancient herbs that we have stored, use them! But he must not die!"


    The Elders had been with the Pce Master for a really long time, but they had never seen her so serious. For a moment, they even wondered if this young man was the husband of the Sect Master who they had never seen before.


    The misunderstanding made home in their minds, even though Eren looked a little younger. They knew that the Pce Master'' husband had already stayed behind in Hell, refusing toe up for some reason.


    Had he finally decided toe up with his wife and daughter? They thought.


    "What led to this? Was he attacked by someone?" The red-robed elder frowned. She still couldn''t understand just what could cause the man to be in such a broken condition when his body lookedpletely unharmed.


    Despite his body being fine, his life force kept fluctuating back and forth.


    "He waspletely fine until we entered the spatial crack to enter the Upper Realm. But with every passing second, his condition kept getting worse until he passed out. Even I can''t see what''s wrong with him."


    Trisa was extremely worried for Eren, especially since she had already started considering him her family member.


    If something happened to him, then what about his daughter who loved him? The thought frightened her even more.


    "You must save her!" she repeated again.


    The more restless the Pce Master looked, the more convinced the Elders became that the man was Trisa''s husband.


    "I will try my best." The red-robed elder brought out the highest grade healing pill that she had.


    She was about to ce the pill in Eren''s mouth when she remembered something. Eren was unconscious and couldn''t consume the healing pill herself.


    She could use her essence to guide this pill down his throat, but her essence was devoured by the unknown the moment it touched his body. It was also impossible.


    There was only one option that she could see, which was to let his body directly consume the healing pill in its purest form.


    She gulped down heavily when she thought of the method that could help her, and looked at the Pce Master with hesitation. Could she really use that method on the Pce Master''s husband?


    "Why are you looking at me like that?" The Pce Master found that gaze a little strange, and didn''t understand why the woman was wasting so much time. "Stop wasting time and help him!"


    "Ah, Pce Master. In the next step, I will need your help," the Elder quickly gave up, not even daring to try it herself.


    "Something is seriously wrong with his body, and my essence can''t enter his body. I need to guide the essence of the pill inside his body, but it seems impossible for me to do. You will have to do it yourself."


    "By guiding the essence of the pill, do you mean?" The Pce Master frowned, realizing the hidden meaning behind those words. She had to do that?
