Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Chapter 26 - Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace

It's so... cold. Where am I? The last thing I remember is that girl... did she knock me out? Such a bright room, my eyes take a few seconds to adjust. All of my lower body and most of my upper body was stuck in a block of ice... my head was (luckily) safe from it. Still, the cold temperature made it hard to breathe. Am I a prisoner or something? If so, then why freeze me in a block of ice instead of just placing chains on my arms and legs? What did I do to deserve this...? IT'S COLD... my balls, my poor balls. So heartless...

How far I've fallen; from the prince of the Seven Kingdoms to a pirate King and then to a man frozen in ice. Life is too cruel...

Nine ice-cold figures stood before me. One of them looked my age and another looked to be about fifty while the others looked like they were in their early twenties, and they were all females. A name popped up in my mind... the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. A Sect which consisted of only females, beautiful and strong females in particular. They have to main arts that all disciples must learn, the Frozen Heart Arts and Frozen Cloud Arts. The Frozen Heart Arts make them calm and it removes certain "d.e.s.i.r.es" while the Frozen Cloud Arts are the profound skills that they use in combat. The Frozen Cloud arts also make them more beautiful, and the figures in front of me... well let's just say I wouldn't mind losing my precious vital yang to these maidens. They are all so beautiful that it wouldn't be wrong to compare them to goddesses.

It's very cold as well, I wouldn't be surprised if this place is the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.

"Who are you?" The oldest spoke

(I AM KING AERION, THE FIRST OF HIS NAME, AND I'VE COME TO SHAG YOU ALL... MULTIPLE TIMES)

*cough*

"I am Jun Long... a disciple of the Noble Rogue Sect."

"Noble Rogue Sect? They wouldn't dare..." One of the older women said

"I... can explain, I think..."

"You think?" She aggressively spoke as some ice grew on my neck.

"I... can't breathe..."

Relax, woman or else I'm going to burn this damned ice off me, possibly kill you and escape. The killing part... well, I'm not too confident. A quick scan of their cultivation is telling me that they would just catch me and freeze me to death if I tried to escape... life is unfair.

"I don't think it's wise to freeze him to death..." The girl my age responded.

Thank the Seven, someone has some common sense.

"Very well. Speak, trespasser."

"So, where do I begin? A few days ago I selected a mission where I had to kill a certain person called Jun Tian. Apparently, he was causing problems in a place called Rising Star City. He was killing innocents, raping women, robbing people and, overall, causing chaos."

"I've heard of something like that happening in the Rising Star City." One of the older women nodded

"Perhaps you have an excuse... continue." The eldest said

Aerion did as asked, he didn't want to get frozen to death.

"Once I arrived, I was ambushed by several earth profound cultivators. They actually thought they were stronger than me... let's just say I made quick work of them." Then Aerion lied to make the story a bit shorter "One of them just happened to be Jun Tian. My mission was complete..."

"So? How did you end up here?"

I'm getting to it, just listen...

"I took their spatial rings and went to a restaurant to celebrate. The food was decent but the wine... I drank a bit too much. Being the detective I am, I checked out their spatial rings and found something unique. It was a large blue crystal..."

"This?"

"Yes... that. So, while I was inspecting it, I accidentally used too much power and the crystal shattered because of it. Then I appeared here..."

"A very far fetched story, especially the part where you made quick work of 'several earth profound cultivators'." One of them replied

"Far fetched? Hmph, I can show you my ability."

"Very well..."

The leader looked at the girl and she nodded in response. It looks like I was going to fight her, she looked quite confident. Aerion smiled... this was going to be fun. The ice around me thawed. I took out Sky Piercer and realised that the girl didn't have a weapon... was she that confident of victory? Tsk, tsk, tsk... so arrogant, I'll make sure to teach her a lesson. I inspect the girl for a second and I realise just how beautiful she is, I'll try to be as gentle as possible in this little spar.

"Interesting weapon." She commentated on Sky Piercer

"Where's your weapon?"

"I don't need to use a weapon to win against you."

"What's your name by the way?"

"You don't need to know."

Ouch... I've been disrespected this whole time, it's time to get my vengeance by... knocking her out. Hahaha, she won't know what hit her. Karma always bites back.

"You may begin."

DRACONIC HEART.

SWIFT WIND.

"Wha?"

*BANG*

She was knocked out COLD.

The girl got knocked out by the shaft of Sky Piercer. Aerion was too fast, the only thing the girl saw was his afterimage. The women spectating were shocked; their precious little disciple was knocked out, in one hit, by some scrub who was unknown to them. They didn't expect this silver-haired boy from the relatively weak Noble Rogue Sect to defeat their genius, but it just happened.

If that girl wasn't so confident, I'm sure she could have put up a better fight. I would've won either way, but still...

They needed some time to get over what they saw.

"Not bad, not bad." The eldest woman claps as ice surrounds my body. "We will talk over this later."

They all left the room, one of them carried the girl I knocked out...

Wait...

*SLAM*

They shut the ice door and left me all alone.

~Sometime later~

It seemed like an eternity in this ice-cold hell. Aerion had enough, they froze him in a horrible standing position and didn't even bother proving food. They didn't even bother to place any guards... he was isolated. Do they want him to go mad?

"That's enough..."

Ghost Flame.

The ice around Aerion melts within seconds and finally, he's free to move.

Time to sneak my way out, those cruel women really thought they could leave me here for as long as they wanted...

Nothing can chain a Dragon!

The door is completely stuck, I can't open it... guess I'll have to melt it.

Ghost Flame.

Aerion carefully and slowly melts the door. Then he swiftly walked around the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, looking for an exit. Then he sees three female disciples in front of him, he quickly takes cover using Swift Wind. They didn't even see him.

"I heard that Xia Qingyue found a boy in her room."

"I wonder what were they doing in there with him?"

"Hahaha, do you really think Qingyue would ever like a boy?"

"Not really, but that one was especially handsome. Silver hair and purple eyes, I've never seen anything like him."

"It doesn't matter anyway, he was handed over and frozen in a sealed room."

"Unfortunate."

Mhm, very unfortunate.

Aerion continued his little adventure around the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and eventually, using his Noble Rogue assassin skills, he makes his way to the entrance of the Sect. There were three guards but he used his genius to get around them. Once he dropped a coin and one of the guards went over, he knocked her out and left her at a place where no one would see her for a little while (the toilet, it's very cold there!). Then with only two guards left, Aerion could make quick work of them.

DRACONIC HEART, SWIFT WIND!

*bang*

Both women get hit by the shaft of Sky Piercer and fall to the floor. Aerion made sure not to unnecessarily harm any disciples as it would send the wrong message, he's the victim in this scenario. Aerion is definitely not a criminal or a trespasser. Well, he is an "accidental" trespasser.

Aerion finally takes his first step out of the sect...

"Where do you think you're going?"

Oh no... my plan was flawless, where did I fail?

"A Guest would usually say farewell when he's leaving, not randomly sneak out."

"Can't you just let me leave?" Aerion turned around

All nine interrogators were there... did they expect me to attempt an escape? Perhaps they watched me sneak around until the very end...

The leader of the group nodded.

"Yes, you may leave. It is clear to us that you trespassed on accident. You have proven that as none of our disciples were harmed and you have also proven your Noble Rogue Sect disciple status through your very skilful escape."

"Very well, I'll be on my way."

Aerion started to walk away from the sect...

Once he was out of sight, Xia Qingyue promised that she would knock out the silver-haired boy the next time they faced off. She was confident that he would be in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, that's where they will meet again. (They're tied 1-1.)

Chu Yuechan stared into his Aerion's fading image... was he the boy who was covered in scales, the boy who killed Yun Che? She pondered over it for a long time...

~

"A silver-haired boy with purple eyes?" A disciple of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace said to herself

Could it be him...? The last time she saw him was almost a year ago...

She wanted to go out and search for him, but it was too late. She spent too much time in closed-doors meditation.

"I hope it's really you..."

A small tear dropped as she thought of the young and charismatic valyrian Pirate King who led his mighty navy without any fear...

~

Phew, I'm finally out of that cruel place called Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. That damned crystal made me suffer through almost two days of being frozen in an uncomfortable position. Time to make my way back to the Noble Rogue Sect and collect my reward. After that, I'll probably do another quick mission and spend the remaining time preparing for that Assembly...
