The clansmen gradually fell silent from the climax of the cheers, and Qiu Die ran to her grandfather's side, and the old patriarch could no longer suppress his excitement, and tears in his eyes ran down his cheeks. The grandfather and grandson hugged each other tightly, and the old patriarch was also thanking Qiu Die's dead parents and her fate today.

After a long time, the old patriarch walked to the middle of the ancestral hall and stood in front of Bingxuan's mother and son.

"His Royal Highness the Ice Emperor, Princess, the old man requests to resign from the position of the Ice Clan Patriarch. The old patriarch said earnestly.

"Patriarch Gu, you have served my Ice Clan all your life, why do you want to resign at this time?" the princess wondered.

"Princess, I am already old, the future world is the world of young people, after so many years of observation, I have also chosen a young man to take over, I don't know what the princess wants?" said the old patriarch.

"In that case, I don't have much to say, the ancient patriarch will join the four elders after today, and the new patriarch of the Ice Clan will be in charge in the future, and the five elders will be responsible for supervising and guiding. I wonder who the ancient patriarch has chosen?" the princess asked.

"Tianke, after so many years of demon forest experience, he has also matured, and he is doing things safely, which is very suitable for assisting the Ice Emperor to achieve great things. Patriarch Gu said solemnly.

"What??" Tianke outside the house was still in a daze, and everyone's eyes were on him.

"Tian Ke came in. The old patriarch raised his voice and said.

Tianke walked into the ancestral hall reluctantly, and the sudden good news overwhelmed him, and he asked himself if he was not capable of taking on the position of patriarch.

"Old patriarch, I, no, I'm too young to bear this burden. Tian Ke said with a stumbling face.

"Tianke, what is the meaning of giving an order in danger? Besides, you have already trained very well, and I was not as good as you when I succeeded to the position of patriarch. The old patriarch said solemnly.

"Fortunately, the future Ice Clan Patriarch will be succeeded by Tian Ke, and he will assist our new Ice Emperor, hoping that these two young people can change the tragic fate of our Ice Clan. The princess announced.

"Meet the Patriarch. The people in the house and in the courtyard began to worship again.

"Everyone, get up, get up. Tianke ran to everyone in a panic and helped them up one by one.

"Tianke, come in and tell you a few words?" the old patriarch called Tianke in the courtyard with a smile.

"But, Patriarch, I'm not ready yet, and I don't know how to say it. Tianke stood outside the door, touching his head with his right hand and rubbing it.

"Alright, let's stop here for today's business, let's disperse first. The old patriarch announced

The teenagers who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony in the house and the people watching the ceremony in the courtyard all walked out of the ancestral hall in groups of three or five. Bing Xuan and Qiu Die received the old patriarch's signaling look, and still stayed in the house and never left. Tianke also saw the old patriarch nodding at him with a smile, and slowly moved into the house.

"You kid, the burden on your body will be heavy in the future, and you have to be more cautious in doing things. The old patriarch patted Tianke on the shoulder and said.

"The younger generation has written it down, and I still need more guidance from the old patriarchs and elders in the future. Tianke said embarrassedly.

"Let's go, go to the small wooden building, we still have something to discuss, the children inside are forced to go home on vacation today. The old patriarch said, opening the secret passage to the small wooden building.

The group came to the pavilion outside the small wooden building and sat down, Qiu Die diligently poured tea for everyone, but Tianke was restless, not knowing what to do.

"Come out. The old patriarch called out to the wooden building behind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, three young men in different clothes walked out of the wooden building, and it could be seen from the walking posture that they were also people who practiced martial arts all year round.

"Your Majesty, these three are the shadow guards of our Ice Clan, who have been hidden in their homeland for many years, and they were only ordered to return to the village late last night. The three of you can introduce yourself. After the old patriarch explained to Bing Xuan, he said to the three of them.

"Subordinate Mo. Subordinate hidden. Subordinate letters. Meet Your Majesty. The three of them said their names in turn.

"Your Majesty, the clan has agreed, and the princess has also agreed, this time it is still up to your entire training team to return to your homeland first, and these three shadow guards will serve as your eyes and ears in the future, collecting intelligence for you and solving some troubles. The old patriarch said to Bing Xuan.

"Okay, I can't imagine that we Ice Clan and this group of hermits are silently contributing to the clan, and I thank you in advance on behalf of the clan. Bing Xuan got up and said.

"The subordinates don't dare. The three shadow guards said hurriedly.

"Mo, you are the captain of the shadow guard, now you can explain the changes outside to Your Majesty. The old patriarch said.

"Yes. The shadow guard named Mo took a step forward and responded.

"Outside, the situation of internal strife has ended. After all, after so many years of reproduction, the four servants who were divided by the ancestor emperor have developed their own families, and the situation is still in the hands of their descendants. However, the four clans were not subject to anyone, and the original Ice God Empire was divided by them and four principalities were established, each dominating one side. According to rumors, the four clans agreed that whoever enters the ice city first will become the new head of the empire, but the other three clans may not fulfill their promise at that time. However, now the descendants of the Shi Clan who established the Stone Country are secretly helping our Ice Clan, and many of the fallen Ice Clan people have also been secretly placed by them, and our current task is to contact these scattered clansmen to unite and jointly unravel the frozen Ice City and regain the territory of the Ice God Empire. Mo reported in detail.

"Now that the Four Kingdoms have been established, even if we enter the Ice City, we may not be recognized by them, but will start a war again. Bing Xuan said rationally.

"Yes, so the purpose of this operation is to gather our strength first to break through the frozen ice city, and then choose the opportunity to move. The old patriarch said.

"It may not be as simple as we think, but we have to go out and see it before we can make a decision. By the way, how many of our shadow guards are there?" Bing Xuan asked.

"Originally, more than 1,000 people of the shadow guard troops, because of the war killed and wounded, the rest were scattered, only brought to this mountain village less than 200 people, and later in order to stabilize the living environment here, dozens of people were killed and injured, fortunately, the people we went out have contacted many lost brothers, and now there are more than 100 shadow guards all over the four countries. The old patriarch said leisurely.

"Can these people be contacted?" Bing Xuan asked.

"The shadow guards have their own contact information, and now the three of them are secretly following His Highness, and they can be responsible for the specific operation, even if Your Majesty arranges them, these are our real dead soldiers. The old patriarch said affirmatively.

"Swear to follow Your Majesty to the death, and swear allegiance to the Ice Clan. The three shadow guards straightened up and said.

"Okay, with those of you who are willing to pay for the clan, our Ice Clan will not die. Tomorrow, we will set out. Bing Xuan said solemnly.

"Okay, Your Majesty can go back to rest first, I will arrange the specific things to Tianke, and tomorrow morning, you will leave quietly." The old patriarch said.

Bing Xuan got up and said goodbye to the elders one by one, and his mother and Qiu Die followed him, leaving only Tianke here to discuss a specific plan of action.
