Chapter 253: Breaking the Seal

“Chunchun, don’t blame me. 1 have my own difficulties. 1 haven’t seen you for so many years, and 1 miss you very much,” the master of the netherworld said softly to Shen Chun. Then, he asked Hades, “Hades, tell me, did you take good care of your sister according to my instructions?”
The smile on Hades’ face quickly disappeared and he said, “I can guarantee that no one has hurt Chunchun in all these years.”
When he said this, his voice was quivering.
Things were so busy in the netherworld, and his adopted sister had so many things to do in the human world, so how could he take care of both sides?!
However, on second thought, he felt relieved.
This old man didn’t lie to him.
Back then, the old man had told him that when his adopted sister’s cultivation reached a certain level, the old man would personally come back to see her. Before that, he would seal himself and the demons in the cold land…
Thinking about it this way, the old man was quite ruthless to himself. He was already so old, but he still insisted on messing around.
“Mentor, where have you been all these years?” Shen Chun was a little anxious. Her mentor’s disappearance was too coincidental. She didn’t dare to think too much about it, for fear that it would be exactly as what she was thinking.
“Chunchun, I’m just on a business trip. Stay at home and wait for me. I’ll definitely be back soon.” The Lord of the netherworld in the painting was still smiling as he said, “You’ve grown up so quickly. In the blink of an eye, you’re already a big girl.”
Shen Chun stared at her mentor in the painting. After looking at him carefully for a while, she couldn’t help but complain, “Mentor, your cultivation level is already so low that you can’t maintain your body temperature, right? Wait for me. I’ll save you now.”
After her mentor looked down, he saw that his white stubble was covered in ice, not to mention that he was shivering when he spoke.
He looked at Hades through the painting as he said, “Hades, Chunchun has grown up.”
Hades acquiesced inwardly, but he still said politely, “Father, you’re right.”
Shen Chun quickly arrived at the place in the painting.
The first thing he saw was a huge ice cube. The ice cube was as tall as a ten-story building and was extremely transparent. Under the sun, it looked like a super big sapphire.
If one approached a little closer, one would realize that the large ice block wasn’t ordinary ice at all. When a person approached less than ten steps away, their meridians would be frozen and it would be difficult to withstand the coldness.
If they weren’t cultivators, they would be frozen alive within three steps of the ice.
Shen Chun tried to walk closer to the ice, but she shivered because of the bone-chilling cold.
However, her mentor was probably suffering here.
Shen Chun looked around. There was snow everywhere, and there was no one around.
Just as she was about to call her mentor, she saw a beam of golden light under the frozen soil. Then, the ground under her feet quickly melted and collapsed.
Shen Chun felt the ground beneath her feet disappear and she landed at the bottom of a cave.
“My good disciple! Did you get hurt?”
Shen Chun looked up. The mentor in front of her wasn’t as radiant as he looked in the painting. In fact, he was a little sallow and thin. His clothes had also become a little ragged after years of wear and tear.
Behind her mentor, there was a string of red runes. It was only a few inches long, but it was dazzling. It was obvious that many sinful monsters had been sealed there.
Guarding these monsters in the land of extreme cold really seemed like something her mentor was capable of doing.
Her mentor was still chanting incantations non-stop. Every time he chanted, the red runes behind him trembled, as if they were in pain. “Old man, when we get out, we’ll fight another 300 rounds!”
The red rune let out a resentful shout.
“It’s been 700 years already. Why are you guys still misbehaving?” The king of the netherworld retorted nonchalantly. “I still want to go back. I want to hug my disciple’s baby and enjoy my retirement.”
Shen Chun knew that her mentor was only saying this to make her happy. How could he live a carefree life in such a cold place along with devils every day?
Amidst the cold wind, Shen Chun’s eyes shone with determination.
“Mentor, I’m here to help you break this seal today..”
