Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1514 - 631: Endless Icefield, An Encounter with Cultivators

"Mm! With our Cultivation, going back shouldn’t be a problem."

Su Muqing’s expression remained calm; she had no idea what Li Yunjing was planning.

"Hehe! Sorry, Zhao Qi and I don’t plan to go back. We’re going to cross the Endless Icefield and enter other countries."

Li Yunjing showed a hint of apology and smiled. "See whether you want to go back alone, or go to other countries with us."

At these words, Su Muqing’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you insane?"

She shot to her feet, nearly slamming her forehead into the top of the ice cave. "That three-thousand-li Icefield is something even Nascent Soul Cultivators don’t dare casually cross!"

At the same time, she cursed silently in her heart. If Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi didn’t return with her, how could she alone break through the Barbarian Race’s blockade and get back to the Beidie Sect?

But if she followed Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi through the Endless Icefield into other countries, how was she supposed to return?

Wouldn’t that run completely counter to her goal of going home?

For a moment, the ice cave fell utterly silent.

"Sister Su, we’re being forced into this too."

After a while, seeing how awkward the atmosphere had become, Zhao Qi had no choice but to speak. "Yunjing and I have an extremely important matter. We can’t turn back. We have to seize every moment and head north all the way. If there’s really no other way, why don’t you come with us?"

Su Muqing still remained silent.

"The three of us traveling together can at least look out for each other; it’s relatively safer. If you go back alone, the Barbarian Race will definitely be on guard against that and will have sealed off the area around the Holy Mountain. You’ll have no way through."

Zhao Qi tried to persuade her again.

"I’ll go with you!"

Su Muqing bit through her lip, blood staining those pearly white teeth. "But if we run into danger on the way... you must leave me behind."

The first two sentences were sincere; the last one, however, was Su Muqing’s small test.

"How could that be possible?"

Li Yunjing looked at her with a half-smile. "You’re my lifesaver. Besides, once you join the team, you’re one of us. In all my life, I, Li Yunjing, have never once abandoned a teammate and fled on my own!"

"Sorry, I was overthinking it."

Having been corrected by Li Yunjing, a faint blush crept over Su Muqing’s pretty face, and she candidly admitted her little scheme.

"Good! That’s the Fellow Daoist Su I know!"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly.

"Let’s go!"

The instant the three of them broke out of the ice, the entire ice cave collapsed with a roar.

The three of them rode their Artifacts at full speed, and in the blink of an eye had flown dozens of li.

Su Muqing looked back, only to see the way they’d come already a vast expanse of white, with no path of return remaining at all.

Not long after, several streaks of Escape Light came howling toward them from the distant sky.

"Go! Fly close to the ice surface!"

Li Yunjing grabbed Su Muqing with his left hand and formed a sword seal with his right.

The Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword turned into a seven-colored Sword Light, carrying the three of them as they shot forward hugging the ground.

After two Hours, the pursuers behind them had long since vanished from sight.

In terms of escape speed, aside from Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators, no one could possibly be faster than Li Yunjing.

As they were passing through a glacier gorge, a horrifying cracking sound suddenly came from ahead.

They saw that on a hundred-meter-tall Ice Cliff, countless six-legged ice spiders with translucent bodies were crawling all over it!

"It’s an Ice Marrow Spider swarm!"

Zhao Qi’s voice trembled. "They can sense fluctuations of Spiritual Power... The Perception Ability of these beasts is comparable to a Nascent Soul Realm; it’s their innate talent.

"It’s fine! We’ll just butcher our way through!"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, still deciding to force their way past.

In Li Yunjing’s eyes, humans were more dangerous than Demon Beasts. Faced with Demon Beasts of the same level, he wasn’t all that worried.

Before long, the spider swarm suddenly turned their heads in unison, thousands of compound eyes locking onto the three of them at the same time!

Li Yunjing abruptly shoved the two women behind him. The Yin Yang Treasure Mirror floated above the three of their heads, and a flash of light flickered in his hand as the Celestial Net flew out, transforming into a sheet of Golden Light!

This Celestial Net was not the one Li Yunjing had obtained at the beginning, but a Tier Four Treasure he’d taken after killing a Nascent Soul Realm Master of the Celestial Net Dao Sect.

Once the net spread, its power was tremendous; everything within ten li was shrouded in a golden lattice of light.

"Boom!"

As the Celestial Net slowly descended, the Ice Cliff exploded with a roar. A spider queen the size of a house burst out of the ice, the cold air it spewed instantly freezing the ground into cobweb-like cracks.

The spider queen let out a shrill screech. Countless ice spiders immediately spat out crystalline webs, which wove together midair into a gigantic ice net.

The two enormous nets collided violently in the air, releasing a blinding radiance.

"Crack!"

The huge web formed by the ice spider swarm actually withstood the downward pressure of the Celestial Net head-on. A ghostly blue chill spread over the silk threads, freezing the golden mesh bit by bit!

"This spider queen has at least Tier Three Peak Cultivation!"

Li Yunjing’s expression changed slightly as he poured in even more Mana.

At the same time, the Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword in his hand slashed down toward the Ice Marrow Spider swarm.

"Sss-la..."

Wherever the seven-colored Sword Light swept past, the ice webs snapped one after another.

The spider queen let out an enraged hiss, its eight compound eyes all lighting up with a strange blue glow.

"Careful! It’s summoning more companions!"

Su Muqing summoned the Cold Moon Wheel. As the moon wheel spun, it scattered a chill Yue Hua, slicing several lunging ice spiders cleanly in two.

Zhao Qi refused to be outdone; the long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake, crackling as it swept past, causing the ice spiders to explode one after another.

But there were simply too many spiders; in the blink of an eye, they had the three of them completely surrounded again.

"Looks like we’ll have to use something nasty!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Yunjing’s eyes as he suddenly pulled out ten Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans from his Storage Ring. "All of you fall back!"

"Rumble—!"

The ten Talismans exploded in a massive blast the moment they were thrown out.
