At the Princess’s residence.

“Amy, Yacouba, please take a seat. Gilmore gestured to the chairs in the hall as Amy and Yacouba came to see him.

Amy and Yacouba thanked Gilmore and sat down.

Gilmore looked at the two and asked, “Amy, Yacouba, do you come to see me because there is a matter you wish to discuss?”

Both Amy and Yacouba nodded.

Amy spoke to Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, tomorrow Yacouba and I must travel to the Ice Mountains in the Sunsbury. There is a matter for which we need to request Mr. Reed’s assistance.”

Gilmore replied. There’s no need for formalities, Amy. Whatever you need help with, feel free to ask.”

Amy said, “Last night, a terrible snow disaster struck the Golden Tower Empire, causing countless deaths and injuries, and the loss of crops and livestock was tremendous.

“It’s like the Golden Tower Empire has been through a massive catastrophe.

The imperial preceptor mentioned that this terrible snow disaster originates from the Ice Mountains and that we must offer sacrifices to the Ice God to quell the disaster.

“However, if Yacouba and I go to the Ice Mountains to offer sacrifices to Ice God, I’m worried the imperial preceptor might harbor ill intentions towards my father, Huston. So, I hope, Mr. Reed, that in our absence, you could protect my father and prevent the imperial preceptor from committing any treacherous deeds.”

Gilmore smiled faintly. “I see. Rest assured, Amy I will ensure Huston’s safety.

With Mr. Reed’s assurance, relief washed over Amy’s face.

But Gilmore shook his head. “Your father may be safe, but you and Yacouba will face dangers on your journey to the Ice Mountains.”

At this, Yacouba said to Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, don’t worry. I will do my utmost to protect the Amy and ensure her safety on the journey to the Ice Mountains”

However, Gilmore replied, “Yacouba, it’s not that I want to rain on your parade, but even with your protection, the trip to the Ice Mountains will be perilous. Not only will you fail to protect Amy

“But even

n your own life could be at stake.

Yacouba, puzzled, asked, “Mr. Reed, are you saying there are challenges in the Ice Mountains that I cannot overcome

Gilmore nodded. “Yes, the dangers of this trip to the Ice Mountains are far beyond your expectations.

“Why do you think the imperial preceptor said that the snowstorm came from the Ice Mountains? Why did he send you to the loe Mountains to pay your respects to the Ice God?

Do you think it will be a smooth journey to the lce Mountains?

Hearing thus, Yacouba and Amy suddenly became serious.

Amy looked at Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, are you suggesting that the imperial preceptor might plot against us on our journey to the Ice Mountains?

Gilmore responded, “Most likely, imperial preceptor wants to ensure that you never return.

“That way, he can have absolute control over the Golden Tower Empire and eventually usurp Huston’s throne.”

A glimt of cold determination flashed in Amy’s eyes as she said. The imperial preceptor is indeed treacherous. So, Mr. Reed, what should we do to thwart his plans?”

Gilmore said. “It’s simple. I will accompany you to the Ice Mountains, and all dangers can be mitigated.”

But this made Amy furrow her brows. However, if Mr. Reed goes with us to the Ice Mountains, who will protect my father?”

Gilmore replied. “Tonight. I will visit the palace and set up a formation to protect it. No one will be able to enter the palace until your retum from the Ice Mountains,

“Additionally, I will ask my fiancées to stay in the palace and guard Mr. Franko.”

Surprise and relief flickered in Amy’s eyes.

Gilmore was going to set up a formation to protect the palace!

Of course. Amy knew about the formation.

The very thought of a formation powerful enough to protect such a vast palace was a testament to its strength.

Amy then remembered something and turned to Gilmore. “But Mr. Reed, the imperial preceptor Levi is an emperor level

cultivator.

“Can Mr. Reed’s formation withstand Levi’s attacks?”

Gilmore said. “You needn’t worry, Amy. While I may not be an invincible cultivator, I am certainly capable of erecting a formation that can repel the imperial preceptor’s strength.”

Hearing this, Amy was secretly delighted and said to Gilmore, Thank you, Mr. Reed, for setting up a formation in the palace. My father and I will be very grateful.”

Gilmore waved his hand dismissively and said, “Your Highness, no need for formalities. Your father, the emperor, has treated me with such honor and even arranged for me to stay in your residence. It’s only right that I do what I can to help out with some tasks.”

Upon hearing this, Amy thought to herself, “It’s a good thing that we invited Gilmore back from the Daniel Mountains.

“Otherwise, the crisis facing the Golden Tower Empire and my father’s safety would be difficult to resolve.”

After discussing the trip to the Ice Mountains and the arrangement of a defensive formation in the palace. Amy and Yacouba bid farewell to Gilmore for the evening.

Late at night, in the imperial palace.

At this moment, there were four figures standing on a several–story attic..

These four figures were Gilmore, Amy, Huston, and Yacouba.

Hathed in the glow of the moon, Yacouba addressed Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, within the palace, there are fifty thousand Imperial

Guards

“Tomorrow, after Amy and I leave, the generals in charge of the Imperial Guards, all under my command, will ensure the palace’s safety. Nothing will go amiss.”

Gilmore nodded in approval.

“Well, tell all the imperial guards not to leave the Imperial Palace before we leave Fensville and come back from the Ice Mountains

Yacouba said, “Mr. Reed. I have already relayed your instructions to my men.”

That’s good, Gilmore responded.

Then, turning to Huston and Amy, Gilmore said, “Mr. Franko, Ms. Franko, we can now begin setting up the formation.”

Huston and his daughter nodded in agreement.

Gilmore then channeled his anima into his palm

His palms began to emit a white, moon–like anima, which surged forth.

In an instant, the anima spread out from Gilmore’s palm, initially illuminating the nearby pavilions.

Gilmore covered the palaces with his white anima.

Soon, the whole imperial palace was shrouded in white light of anima

As the white light of anima enveloped the entire imperial palace

Gilmore formed a hand seal and commanded, “Activate the formation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rumble, and white light surged in the air, as if a comet had suddenly burst

A boundless aura rippled outwards.

The gushing white light of anima shook violently, and then the light of anima disappeared.

Soon, the imperial palace returned to normal.

Gilmore retracted the anima to his palms and calmly informed Amy and Huston, “The formation is now set.

“From this moment on, the palace is protected by my Cosmic Star Formation.

“No one is allowed to enter, especially cultivators, regardless of their strength.

“Only those without any cultivation or martial arts can enter the palace.”

Relief washed over Huston and his daughter’s faces.

The cosmic star formation was truly miraculous and useful.

The palace was protected by this formation, which could prevent any cultivator or person with martial arts from entering.

But it could also let ordinary people without cultivation or martial arts enter the palace. In this way, those ministers without cultivation and martial arts could enter the palace.

Such a formation couldn’t be better.

Huston expressed his immense gratitude to Gilmore. “Mr. Reed we can’t thank you enough”

Cilmore replied modestly, “It was nothing. Mr. Franko

Cilmore then looked at Huston and said, “Mr. Franko just safety

stay in the palace. I’ll have my fiancées here to ensure your

“As long as you don’t leave, even the imperial preceptor with all his schemes won’t be able to touch a hair on your head.

Huston nodded to Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, I will heed your advice and will not leave the palace.”

“Good, that’s settled then, said Gilmore. “Tomorrow, I will head to the Ice Mountains with Amy and Yacouba.”

“Mr. Reed, you have protected Amy. For this great kindness, I will forever hold it in my heart, Huston said, bowing slightly

to Gilmore.

Despite being the Emperor of the Golden Tower Empire, he bowed to Gilmore, displaying none of the usual imperial airs. It was a sincere gesture of gratitude from Emperor Huston.

Gilmore helped the bowing Huston to his feet and said, “Mr. Franko, there’s no need for formalities. The Golden Tower Empire is under threat from the snow disaster, and it saddens me to see the people suffer.

If I can do something for the Golden Tower Empire and its people, I find it meaningful.”

Huston’s eyes shimmered with respect for Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, on behalf of all citizens of the Golden Tower Empire, I thank “you”

“If Mr. Franko continues to thank me in this manner, it’ll seem like we’re strangers, Gilmore replied. “You wouldn’t treat one of your own with such ceremony.

Quick to respond. Huston said, “Mr. Reed, then I won’t be so formal henceforth. I truly consider you one of us.” Satisfied, Gilmore replied. That’s more like it. Mr. Franko. There’s no need for formality among family”

Just then, something seemed to strike Huston, and he turned to Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, although the imperial preceptor is versed in astronomy and divination.

“But he claimed that the snow disaster in the Golden Tower Empire stems from the Ice Mountains and is a result of the Ice God’s wrath.

“Do you believe this to be true, Mr. Reed?”

Gilmore replied seriously, “Mr. Franko, I can tell you with certainty that the snow disaster ravaging our country indeed originates from the Ice Mountains in the Sunsbury.

“As for the Snow Calamity, it was the rage of the Ice God that brought the Snow Calamity to the Golden Tower Empire, I am suspicious of that.

“Who has ever seen this Ice God? It’s likely a figment, a tale spun to bewilder the people, perhaps concocted by the imperial preceptor himself.

“Although the snow disaster did not come from the anger of the Ice God, there has never been a snow disaster in the Golden- Tower Empire in the past six or seven months. Why did it suddenly appear this year?”

“This means that there must be something we don’t know in the Ice Mountains that has changed the laws of heaven and carth, resulting in such a strange disaster in June.”

When they heard this, Huston, Amy, and Yacouba were stunned into silence, visibly taken aback.

After a moment, they came to their senses, their faces showing a dawning understanding.

Huston, excitedly addressing Gilmore, said, “Mr. Reed, you’ve thought this through so thoroughly; why didn’t it cross my

mind?”

Then he looked at Gilmore and asked cagerly, “Mr. Reed, what do you think is the unknown force in the Ice Mountains that’s changing the laws of nature?”

Gilmore’s eyes reflected unfathomable depths as he spoke. “It could be a fierce beast that shakes heaven and earth, or a devil akin to the Grim Reaper, or perhaps a catastrophic anomaly.

Without being g in the lee Mountains. I cannot say for certain what it is

Hearing this. Huston. Amy, and Yacouba were profoundly shaken.

They didn’t think Gilmore was joking.

To them. Gilmore’s strength was the celestial, his abilities boundless. It was as if he had powers from another world.

Otherwise. Gilmore would not have known so much.

Therefore, they firmly believed what Gilmore said.

Yet, upon hearing Gilmore’s explanation, they realized the journey to the

Ice Mountains would be fraught wanger.

“Are you scared?” Gilmore seemed to read Amy’s mind as he turned to her and asked.

Amy replied. “Mr. Reed, for my father, for the Golden Tower Empire and its countless citizens, I would face the myriad dangers of the Ice Mountains without hesitation.”

Gilmore nodded. “Good, that’s the spirit.”

Gilmore then bid farewell to Huston, “Mr. Franko, the Cosmic Star Formation has been set. It’s getting late. I should return now. Mr. Franko should also rest early.

Take care, Mr. Reed Huston said.

Like a golden eagle disappearing into the night, Gilmore left the imperial palace.

Back at the Princess’s residence, Gilmore was in his attic.

He entered his pavilion, only to find the main hall brightly lit

Lilian, Claire, and the others were all seated, evidently having not gone to bed.

They were all waiting for Gilmore to c

come back

Gilmore looked at them and asked, “Why haven’t you all gone to sleep?”

“We were waiting for you, Lilian and the others said.

Gilmore knew that come tomorrow, he would head to the Ice Mountains with Amy and Yacouba.

As the time for parting drew near, and considering they might be separated for a while, it was natural for them to feet reluctant to say goodbye.

Gilmore sat down on a chair and looked at the women, reassuring them, “Don’t worry, Lwill go to the Ice Mountains, help the Golden Tower Empire eliminate this blizzard, and I’ll be right back.”

Hearing Gilmore’s words, Lilian couldn’t hide her worry. “Gilmore, a snow disaster is a natural calamity. How can human -efforts stop it

Indeed, a snow disaster was a force of nature.

Eliminating such a disaster wasn’t something easily done by morals.

Gilmore was not an ordinary person.

However, it was impossible to eliminate the snow disaster.

In Lilian’s eyes, the only way to eliminate a snow disaster was to wait for it

it to pass on its own.

But as long as the disaster persisted, Gilmore would have to wait in the Ice Mountains.

What if it didn’t pass for a month or even a year? Would Gilmore then be stuck in the Ice Mountains for such a long time?

She couldn’t bear such a long wait.

Similarly, Claire, Christine, and other ladies also expressed their concerns to Gilmore. “Why must you, who is not even a god of weather, go to stop this blizzard, Gilmore?

“Why do you want to eliminate the snow disaster?

That’s right. As long as the snowstorm lasts, you won’t come back from the Ice Mountains.

Then how long do we have to wait? We are all your hancées”

Hearing this, Gilmore wanted to cry but had no tears.

He could only say to them. “Alright, alright. Let’s do this. No matter when the blizzard stops, I promise you, I will return to Fensville within five days after my departure to the Ice Mountains.

Gilmore’s promise brought smiles to their faces.

They all looked pleased and said. “That’s more like it!

“If it weren’t just f

‘t just five days, I wouldn’t even allow you to go to the Ice Mountains.

Then we’ll wait for your return here in Fensville, Be extra careful on your journey to the Ice Mountains.”

Gilmore smiled too.

It seemed his promise of a five–day return lessened their complaints.

With a more serious tone, Gilmore told them, “After I leave Fensville, you all should enter the palace to protect Huston. Do not step outside the palace. Otherwise, the protective formations I’ve set up won’t be able to guard you.”

Lilian and the other women nodded. ‘Gilmore, we understand.

After chatting with the women for a bit longer, Gilmore retreated to his bedroom to rest, and the night passed without

incident

The next moming

The morning sun shone on the balcony of the Princess’s residence.

Gilmore, having finished his morning routine, dressed neatly, and stepped out of the loft

Lilian, Claire, and the other women followed him, seeing him off

At the same time, on the street outside the Princess’s residence came the sound of horse hooves, the sound of armor, the sound of swords

and

Soon enough, a majestic cavalry of a thousand riders on towering horses, dignified and stern, came thundering down the

The appearance of this cavalry made the commoners on the street quickly step aside.

The troop halted in front of the Princess’s residence.

riders

Leading the troop were two riders on large horses, Amy and Yacouba

Amy turned to Yacouba and asked, “Has Mr. Reed woken up yet, Mr. Perris?”

Yacouba, duiiful as always, replied to Amy, “Ms. Franko, I will go and check immediately.”

Amy nodded her approval.

Yacouba dismounted and knocked on the closed gates of the Princess’s residence,

The gates opened quickly, and the butler immediately recognized Amy,

“Ms. Franko, welcome. Please come inside and have a seat.”

Amy also wanted to go in and have a look, so she said to the butler, “Okay, I’ll go in and see Mr. Reed.”

Then. Amy got off the horse and ordered all the armored cavalry soldiers to stay where they were.

After giving her orders, she, accompanied by Yacouba, entered the Princess’s residence.

Shortly after, Gilmore emerged from the Princess’s residence with Amy and Yacouba.

Lilian, Claire, and the other ladies came out to see them off.

After bidding farewell to Gilmore, the ladies watched as Gilmore mounted a warhorse and rode off with Amy, Yacouba, and over a thousand iron–clad knights, leaving Fensville behind..

As Gilmore’s figure disappeared from view, Lilian and the ladies made their way to the imperial palace,

This was the task Gilmore gave them, which was to protect Huston in the palace.

They soon arrived at the palace.

As they got closer, the Cosmic Star Formation that surrounded the imperial palace began to operate,

Faint white light appeared in the entire palace. Of course, not many people could see the faint white light of this formation.

Unless the other party was an extremely powerful cultivator.

Lilian and her companions, also being cultivators, could see the glow of the Cosmic Star Formation.

Gilmore had taught them the hand seals to enter the formation protecting the palace.

They performed the hand seals and emitted a stream of core energy. Immediately, the Cosmic Star Formation opened a pathway for them

Then, Lilian and the other girls entered the palace through the opening of the formation.

As they entered the palace, the opening of the formation closed in an instant.
