Atop the ice wall, only ten minutes had passed—and less than thirty seconds since Qin Yu had spoken those words.
But those on the ice wall had finally understood Lin Heng's ambition.
Duan Liu was horrified and angrily rebuked, "Even if we, as well as the Yue Family and the Demon Sect, have failed your Ji family, it is only right for you to seize power and want to kill us. But, if this ice wall breaks, the waters from the ice river sealed within the glacier will burst forth, obliterating all the mountains and rivers outside, crossing the Tianzang Plain and pressing directly towards the imperial capital, destroying the very foundations of the Empire and burying tens of thousands of common people! For so many years, for centuries, what have these people had to do with any of this! You've gone mad!"
Though he coveted the secret repository and the interests of the sect, he had never considered ending things in such a manner.
He was shocked by Lin Heng's purpose.
