On the cold stone seat, Chen Zhixing gently rubbed the Third Peak Master Token with his thumb, his eyes lost in thought.

Frozen Plateau... I should have thought of this long ago.

"Patriarch, how should we handle this person? Should we cook him?"

Hua Linghou's face was full of ferocity, which made Luy Ge'er tremble with fear.

"Senior Hua, you are also one of us, from the Thief Sect. Why must you be so relentless..." Luy Ge'er was full of despair, not even able to finish his sentence.

"Shut up!"

Hua Linghou, suddenly furious, was about to grab Luy Ge'er.

"No need."

Chen Zhixing waved his hand, took the Third Peak Master Token, and said calmly:

"Someone, Luy Ge'er has contributed to the Ziwei Chen Family, reward him with 100,000 Spirit Stones and three bottles of treasure pills."

As soon as Chen Zhixing finished speaking,

Hua Linghou was stunned, while Luy Ge'er immediately showed extreme joy, bowing repeatedly.

Moments later.

The entire main hall was silent, leaving only Dugu Ni, Hua Linghou, the Netherworld Elders, and the Nine Great Peak Masters present.

"Netherworld Elders, I wish to launch a northern expedition to the Frozen Plateau, what preparations should be made?"

Chen Zhixing turned his gaze, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hahaha, as long as the Patriarch gives the order, I am willing to be the first to climb the mountain and strike directly at the enemy!"

Elder Nether was full of enthusiasm, having long been intrigued by the rumors of the Snow Demons' ice-clear beauty.

"Patriarch, do not listen to this old lecher. The Frozen Plateau, being a forbidden zone for life, is not so easy to conquer."

Elder Ming shook his head solemnly:

"The Frozen Plateau, as a forbidden zone for life in our East Profound Domain, indeed hosts powerful Snow Demons, but that is not the real reason it keeps outsiders at bay.

The truly terrifying aspect of the Frozen Plateau is that it is a Land of the Dead!"

"Land of the Dead?"

Dugu Ni raised an eyebrow, asking: "So, there's no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there, and once our own power is exhausted, we can't replenish it by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?"

"That's correct." Elder Ming nodded.

Upon these words, the experts in the hall couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

Chen Zhixing frowned and asked, "What if we bring enough pills?"

"Is that so?"

Elder Ming stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with contemplation, and finally said thoughtfully:

"It might be possible this way... but to conquer the Frozen Plateau, there is still one issue we must resolve."

He paused, his face turning incredibly grave:

"The Snow Demon Race is an innate anomaly, born of the primal forces of Heaven and Earth. While their combat power isn't particularly strong, as long as they remain in the Frozen Plateau, they can resurrect when killed!"

"This is the real reason why the Frozen Plateau is so difficult to conquer!"

"Even if we overpower the Snow Demons, they can revive endlessly while we, no matter how many pills we bring, will eventually exhaust ourselves."

"To conquer the Frozen Plateau, we must find a way to resolve this."

As Elder Ming finished speaking, the once eager crowd in the hall felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on them, their battle intent turning to helplessness.

This Frozen Plateau is quite the nuisance.

Elder Ming looked sincerely at Chen Zhixing and said, "In the past, if you wished to conquer the Frozen Plateau, I would have dissuaded you. That barren land offers no benefit, even if we succeed.

But I understand, as a child, how could one stand by idly while their parents suffer?"

"Therefore, as long as you give the order, I am willing to lead the charge and take the vanguard, leading the Dark Division into the Frozen Plateau!"

Upon these words, Elder Ming gave a deep bow to Chen Zhixing.

The others in the hall also rose and spoke in unison:

"As soon as the Patriarch gives the order, we will depart immediately and invade the Frozen Plateau!"

"Indeed, so what if the Snow Demons can resurrect indefinitely? We will guard the Frozen Plateau and kill them each time they respawn! We can form a dedicated logistics team to transport pills for us. Our current Ziwei Chen Family will surely find a way to deal with just a Frozen Plateau!"

"This plan is feasible!"

"Patriarch, shall we gather our forces and set out immediately?"

On the cold stone seat, Chen Zhixing wore an odd expression and said, "Perhaps you misunderstand; we only need to rescue my parents, not exterminate the Frozen Plateau."

"Oh?"

With those words, the murderous crowd in the hall paused.

Elder Nether, who was the most vocal, chuckled awkwardly, "Patriarch, didn't you often say, if we act, we act decisively? We are used to either not acting or acting to the point of annihilating the enemy."

"There's no need this time. The Snow Demons can't leave the Frozen Plateau and pose no threat. Why consider exterminating them?"

Chen Zhixing cast a dark look at him, then rose and began to give orders:

"For this northern expedition to the Frozen Plateau, keep the numbers small and elite."

"Fourth Uncle, gather fifty True Self experts from both the Bright and Dark Divisions, all at the True Self Seventh Layer or higher, to accompany me to the Frozen Plateau!"

"Yes!" Chen Tianchen's eyes flashed, and he bowed in agreement.

"Dugu Ni, Netherworld Elders, you will accompany me. As for the Great Elder... you will guard the family, in case anyone tries to take advantage."

Chen Zhixing continued to instruct.

"Rest assured, Patriarch. With me here, there will be no worries for the family!" Chen Daoshan bowed in acknowledgment.

Chen Zhixing nodded, and after surveying everyone's faces, finally gazed out at the boundless sky beyond the hall, stating clearly:

"In ten days, we march to the Frozen Plateau!"

....

....

With Chen Zhixing's command, the entire Ziwei Chen Family began operating like a huge machine, with the peaks working quickly together.

The Seventh Peak: Pill Peak, began tirelessly refining a large number of pills to replenish Spiritual Qi for the expedition.

The Eighth Peak: Artifact Peak, also began crafting the dharma treasures and equipment needed for the expedition, aiming to minimize casualties!

Under Ou Yezi's leadership, the Ninth Peak: Array Peak, began researching sealing arrays. Since flattening the Frozen Plateau wasn't the goal this time, they decided to forge some sealing arrays to temporarily restrain the Snow Demons!

Chen Zhixing first went to the forbidden area of the back mountain to inform the ancestor Chen Tianyuan, asking him to guard the family against external invasions.

Finally, Chen Zhixing hurriedly returned to his secluded chamber on the Third Peak to begin his closed retreat!

During these ten days, he must elevate his own strength to a higher level!
