Chapter 157: Necromancer 8th Circle & Ice Phoenix Sect? by Harem-Fan
Banishment, Summons Telepathy, and Banishment Immunity are the three new spells available for me to learn after I broke through to the 8th Circle of my Death Summoner, or rather Necromancer class...
Banishment is a really good offensive spell that is normally a 9th Circle spell for other classes, and forces beings from "other planes" back to their home plane (Humans can only be banished from the pure 12 planes, not secret realms), or makes Summons return to their inner worlds or the last place they came from. The banished beings cannot be called by any means for an hour.
Summons Telepathy is what I have been using all along, and is still single targeted or in a radius of 10 feet per circle level to all minds.
Banishment Immunity does what its name suggests, and makes the Summons immune outright to being forced away by any means other than being banished by their Summoner.
This Banishment Immunity is the only spell I can currently learn in time for the summit, due to each spell taking many days to etch, even for my talent.
The Banishment would be good, and Summons Telepathy would be really good for Xia Bing, Camila, and Minglong, but the last one is the real prize as Xia Bing cannot be Banished by the Emperor now.
Nothing ruins a 7th Circle Summoner or lowers day or life like having all of their Summons whisked away and unable to be used for an hour...

When I opened my eyes after completing the Banishment Immunity spell on the deck of the Ghost Ship, I instantly recognized the silhouette of the Infinite Sky Mountains in the horizon...
Xia Sha saw me open my grey eyes with a smile on my lips, and she had a moment like when Silvia first saw my learning speed back in the Sky Duchy.
"It has only been a few days, don't tell me you actually finished engraving a spell so quickly?!"
When I nodded to this sexy woman that I will marry soon, she looked at a loss.
Xia Gu told her mother from the side, while she adjusted her lower-face veil before we were to arrive at the Ice Phoenix Palace Sect.
"Actually when he learned all of his 7th Circle spells, he did it in only three days without a teacher guiding him."
Xia Sha nodded and realized her choice in me was the right one, and she guided the Ghost Ship towards the front gates of the sect.
The female Sect Masters don't wear face veils to cover their beauty and to show they are confident socially to others.
Only Holy Maidens and lower ranking female disciples generally will wear a lower-face veil or a full-face veil with a headdress like an Empress would wear to hide their faces.
All of the female disciples of the Ice Palace are required to wear lower-face veils in public.
The Love Boat slowed upon reaching the gates, and the guards were alert.
I let both Xia Gu and Sha stand on the black coffin with me, and then the Sect Master sent the Ghost Ship into her personal space.
I flew us down for us to give our invitations...
-
As we stepped through the massive gates made of solid, glowing ice, a blast of freezing wind from the north brought chills and swirls of snow around my combat sandals...
Looking up, I saw beautiful female cultivators in flowing white and light blue robes floating gracefully on flying swords or giant Demonic Beast Cranes between crystalline palaces that cling to mountains piercing the very sky.
Unlike the very few male disciples of the Ice Palace, I am the only man here with short hair as long hair for eastern cultivators is the norm, and I was reminded of Ding Sun, or whatever his name was.
When the person to guide us arrived, I felt my Summons link assure me it was Xia Bing arriving to greet us.
Flap Flap Swoosh~! A large pure white, 5th Circle Demonic Snow Crane descended from the central peak, its wide 75 foot wingspan was impressive, and it is clearly a strong Summons.
Flanked by two other disciples, probably the Sect Master's core disciples, Holy Maiden Xia Bing gave us a cupped fist salute and said emotionlessly from the crane's back.
"Xia Bing greets the Sect Master, Holy Son, and Holy Maiden of the Corpse Refining Sect to our humble Ice Palace. The Sect Master and her two guests of the Bloodshed Sect have already arrived, with the Heavenly Palace yet to arrive..."
"We have made arrangements for each visiting sect to have their own Jade Palace on separate peaks to avoid tensions during your visit. Please follow us to guide you to your temporary home."
Despite her cold outer temperament and way of speaking, I felt she was happy to finally see me in person since we last parted at the Dragons Graveyard.
After getting on the crane's back, I stood in the middle of Xia Bing, Xia Gu, and Xia Sha, all pretending not to be family for one reason or another.
In my heart, I sighed because this won't be the last mother and two daughter pair I meet at this damn summit.
No, the Sect Master of the Bloodshed Sect, Su Mei, is the mother of her Holy Maiden, and the mother of Heavenly Palace's Holy Maiden, but the latter doesn't acknowledge her mother or younger sister openly.
I sent Xia Bing a telepathic message to let her know I was happy to see her well.
]Xia Bing, you are the best part about the Ice Palace Sect, and I am happy to finally see you, even in my disguise.[
Over her veil, her pale blue eyes looked at me with a hint of affection, as her heart has been growing warmer, ever so slightly...
-
While we were flying to a peak, near the central tallest abode of the Sect Master, I heard some individuals talking about my arrival...
[Sect Master Su Mei, that is Hao Hun in the center of the Demonic Snow Crane with the black coffin on his back. He actually joined their Sect like he said.]
[Sect Master, Hao Hun hasn't summoned out his Corpse Puppet, Mummy Lord, or his Underworld Dragon that we saw that day.]
[Su Ruyan and Ye Chen, don't try your luck with Hao Hun.]
To the west peak from where we are landing, I felt a killing intent directed at my back, so I looked over to that peak.
[But Sect Master, Hao Hun got my little sister pregnant and made her be his concubine. I can't let him disgrace my Ye family.]
Holy fuck, is Ye Lin that dick's little sister?!
[Ye Chen, you idiot, you leaked your killing intent, and Hao Hun is looking over here... Sect Master Su Mei, do you think he can hear us from there?]
[The Emperor said his Soul Power was really strong, but even if he could, I put up a soundproof formation on our peak, so Hao Hun cannot hear us.]
She is right, but I am not using my ears or eyes to listen.
And it is strange that the Su and Xia families don't seem to know they are allies, like the Emperor doesn't let his troops meet? (It isn't paranoia when everyone is really out to get you though.)
[Reporting to Sect Master Xue Wuxia. The Corpse Refining Sect is being placed in the Holy Son Palace you told us to use, and Hao Hun is with them... Oh, just call him Holy Son, okay.]
When Xia Bing felt my unease when I looked at the Sect Master's tallest peak, her emotions told me to not worry about her.
]Bing'er, does she know about using my name?![
Only a slight head nod was given, but the feeling of not to worry was conveyed by her to me...
-
I looked at the sign in front of the grand ice palace we are being led into, and I said its name out loud...
"Holy Son Palace?"
Xia Bing said professionally while leading us inside.
"My son, Feng Balder, left the sect due to some business back home. Now this grand palace is free for you to use. You are getting married in a few days, and this palace is perfect to hold it. Please be assured it was fully cleaned and ready for the three of you and your Summons."
Xia Bing handed the Holy Son Palace's array disk for security to Xia Sha, and left us alone...
-
Servant disciples led all three of us to our own wings of the palace, and we each received grand rooms with a wonderful view of the southern part of the sect...
Creak Click~! After the handyman disciple closed my double doors and I locked it, I answered Xia Bing's requests to summon her to my side when I was alone.
"Xia Bing, I am alone now, so come to me... Call Summons~!"
A person sized grey magic circle glowed and then Xia Bing was standing in front of me, and I smiled with my arms open.
Thud~! She rushed into my arms and hugged me, feeling my body warmth and closed her eyes.
"Master, I missed you."
I patted this woman on the back and asked.
"Are you being treated well here? If there is any problem being here, let me know and I will pull you out. I like having you here working for me, but I want you to be safe and happy more."
Mwah~! She took off her face veil and then planted her cool lips over mine, and wanted to feel our closeness.
After the kiss, Xia Bing took my hand and dragged me into the master bedroom of this residence...
-
An hour later, I was holding the naked Xia Bing in my arms as she was telling me about her Master's Heavenly Vow...
"Oh, I understand why she is worried now... Well you can tell her to use both my names freely. I was worried that the Emperor might have known something and set me up."
Xia Bing was still laying on my chest with my member still inside, while she enjoyed the inner warmth inside her cool body, like a lazy cat in a sunbeam.
"Master Wuxia will have me call you for a summons, and then I will send you to where she is when it is time to heal her. She doesn't want to do it till after the Emperor arrives, or her condition might get exposed as he shows up."
"Sure, then whenever she wants, or if she cancels, it is fine as well. I just was glad to make love with you now, so the trip was worth it."
Xia Bing sat upright and looked down at me and asked with a slight amusement in her tone.
"Master Wuxia and you both said this was a one time thing. But Loki, have you seen a picture of my Sect Master? I think when you two meet, you both will change your minds."
I ran my hands over her smooth, curvaceous, and cool body, and joked.
"Ice Phoenix Sect Masters don't fall in love, unless you try really hard, and I am not trying. Good luck Bing'er, but you're my only Snow Woman, haha."
I rolled her to her back and started round three...
-
Xia Sha in her private room, felt annoyed for no apparent reason...
"Is that Su Mei or Xue Wuxia talking about me behind my back? Maybe I should have let Hao Hun sleep in my room... It suddenly feels lonely here."
The real Snow Woman felt irritated as she went over documents about the summit...
