"Why should you trouble yourself with petty thieves, my husband?"
Zhao Qi chuckled softly, but her hands showed no mercy. A wave of cold air emanated from her body, and in an instant, the surrounding plants froze into blocks of ice.
The dozen or so knights, in their terror, turned into ice sculptures.
"Let’s go!"
Li Yunjing shook his head, knowing these people were completely dead.
This path was their own choice; Zhao Qi’s ruthlessness couldn’t be blamed.
"Husband, they said three groups of cultivators entered the Holy Mountain. What does this mean?"
As she followed Li Yunjing forward, Zhao Qi asked.
"Five years ago, I made a plan at ’Seven Stars Peak’, aligning with the ’Beidie Sect’ to engage in a conflict with the ’Tianlang Barbarian Race’."
Li Yunjing chuckled softly, "Maybe this is something the ’Beidie Sect’ did."
The two traversed the frozen grassland towards the direction of the Barbarian Holy Mountain.
Those frozen Black Barbarian warriors maintained their charging postures, reflecting a strange light under the sun.
"The ’Beidie Sect’ dares to covet the Barbarian holy relic?"
Zhao Qi furrowed her brow, "Do they have such strength?"
"Heh, heh!"
Li Yunjing sneered, "You underestimate the ’Beidie Sect’. I suspect their sect’s treasure is still there; this sect is much scarier than imagined."
"Is it really that formidable?"
Zhao Qi’s eyes flashed with surprise, "Then why doesn’t your ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ test them? Just let them develop like this?"
"There’s no way!"
Li Yunjing’s gaze was deep, "’Beidie Sect’ and ’Louguan Dao’ are both allies, and very trustworthy ones!"
"Although our sect is powerful, over hundreds of thousands of years, there were times of decline when one of the two factions took charge. Although they suppressed us a bit, they never hurt the sect’s foundation."
"This method has been continued by the three factions since ancient times. Small-scale conflicts are allowed, large-scale ones are not."
"After all, besides the three factions, there are many enemies on the ’Celestial Wave Star’. We need to stay united to ward off external dangers."
Li Yunjing briefly explained to Zhao Qi.
"I never expected such an inside story!"
Hearing Li Yunjing’s explanation, Zhao Qi was greatly shocked.
Over the years, she had actively integrated into the ’Great Ming Cultivation Realm’, almost considering herself a local, thinking she knew everything. She never expected the information she had obtained was so different from the truth.
The two continued walking and talking, their pace swift. Within a day, they reached the end of the grassland.
In the distance, a towering snowy mountain gradually became clear.
The peak was shrouded in an eerie blue fog, and several flickering escape lights were faintly visible.
"There are indeed people."
Zhao Qi scanned with her Divine Sense, "Just not sure which side they belong to."
"Ignore them!"
Li Yunjing sneered, "Our only goal is to quickly cross the icefield and enter the heart of the ’Southern Heaven Continent’."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of dazzling blue light erupted from the mountaintop.
Three escape lights plummeted like kites with their strings cut, followed by an earth-shattering roar that echoed throughout the land!
"Boom..."
The entire Holy Mountain shook violently, the avalanche forming a terrifying snow wave.
A hundred-foot-tall Ice Crystal Giant emerged from the mountainside, with a dark blue crystal embedded in its chest, precisely the legendary ’Profound Ice Essence’!
"Tier Four Ice Puppet!"
Li Yunjing’s pupils contracted abruptly, "Those fools from the ’Beidie Sect’ alarmed the guardian puppet!"
As they spoke, the auras of Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi suddenly diminished, almost reduced to the life fluctuations of insects.
The Ice Puppet howled at the sky, countless ice cones shot out like a torrential rain in all directions.
After this Ice Puppet roared for a while, several Barbarian priests flew out, and on the other side of the snowy mountain, an intense battle broke out.
"Husband, look over there!"
Zhao Qi suddenly pointed to the mountainside.
A ’Beidie Sect’ cultivator, covered in blood, was fleeing in panic, clutching a jade box from which wisps of blue light seeped.
"Oh?"
Li Yunjing was startled, memories from years ago surfaced in his mind.
Back then, he and Fu Chao were chased by Demon Cultivators here and were rescued by someone from the ’Beidie Sect’. He never expected to encounter the young female cultivator who saved him.
"This woman saved my life!"
Li Yunjing leapt into the air, the ’Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword’ transforming into a hundred-foot-long giant blade, striking towards those priests.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
As Li Yunjing attacked, the priests were almost instantaneously slaughtered by him.
"Li... Li Yunjing?"
The ’Beidie Sect’ female cultivator’s eyes widened, her pale face full of disbelief.
The jade box in her arms fell to the ground with a "clatter", revealing inside half a shattered Profound Ice Essence.
Li Yunjing carefully examined the woman in front of him.
She was the ’Beidie Sect’ elder, Su Muqing, who had saved him at the Barbarian border years ago.
However, at this moment, her daoist robe was stained with blood, her left arm hung limply, clearly she was seriously injured.
"Fellow Daoist Su, it’s been years since we last met."
Li Yunjing took out a bottle of Healing Elixirs and handed it over, "Heal your wounds first, then we can talk."
"Husband, the Ice Puppet and Barbarian priests will soon catch up, we..."
Zhao Qi scanned the surroundings cautiously, speaking in a low voice.
Before she could finish, an earth-shaking roar echoed from afar.
The Ice Puppet, under the urging of the Barbarian priests, was running wildly towards their location from the other side of the snowy mountain!
"Let’s go!"
Li Yunjing grabbed Su Muqing, and the three of them transformed into escape lights, swiftly fleeing towards the other side of the snowy mountain.
"There’s a cave up ahead!"
With sharp eyes, Zhao Qi pointed to a hidden cave entrance halfway up a distant mountain peak, a hundred miles away.
