Chen Yuxin and Ji Qian exchange heated words, but Ji Qian holds back due to her pregnancy. Feng Ling, a capable leader of the Shadow Organization, urges Chen Yuxin to leave the dangerous area. Meanwhile, Ye Shikai and his companion are caught in a sudden, massive avalanche. He narrowly escapes by anchoring himself behind a rock. The avalanche also hits the Ji family camp, causing casualties and sweeping away some individuals, including the presumed Lord War God. Ji Qian, despite her condition, sets out with her guards to search for the missing.

Wang Kai raised the spear in his hand, flicking away the nearby snow, with everything around him covered in white. This was his first time in Kunlun, and suddenly he lost his direction. The most critical part was that it seemed there was no one around; even if he wanted to ask for directions, there was no one to ask.

"This is really terrible." Wang Kai complained. He was not from one of the prestigious families of Huaxia but one of the Main Gods, the War God. If someone recognized him, he could be in trouble.

"That’s not right. Since there’s no one around, how can there be trouble? Moreover, most people here shouldn’t recognize me," Wang Kai suddenly realized. His worry seemed a bit unnecessary. Besides, he wasn’t someone afraid of trouble. If he really encountered danger alone, then he would just fight.

In comparison, the most dangerous thing for him now should be the supplies. Although cultivators wouldn’t starve to death for a few days, being debilitated from hunger and feeling weak is even more uncomfortable than dying. So, the most important thing at the moment is to find Ji Qian and the Ji Family’s team. Otherwise, his only option is to go down the mountain, or else he wouldn’t even have a place to sleep at night and could only "camp out in the snow."

Although Wang Kai was reckless and brave, he wasn’t stupid at critical moments. Since he was caught by this tree and hadn’t been swept down the mountain by the avalanche, other people must be below as well.

"Cough, cough." Suddenly, Wang Kai heard a couple of coughs. Turning his head, he saw a few people slowly crawling out of the snow. Upon closer inspection, there were two Moon Guards, three Hidden Guards, and two were his brothers from the War God Temple.

"Hurry and get up." Wang Kai stepped forward and pulled them out of the snow.

"Wonderful, finally there are a few of my brothers left with me." Wang Kai was secretly delighted. Having companions meant he wouldn’t be so lonely.

"Lord War God, what do we do next?" One of them asked.

"I’m not interested in those treasures at the top of the mountain. I want my brothers more. Everyone, listen up, follow me down the mountain, and we’ll go find people," Wang Kai said firmly.

"Yes."

"Yes."

The group followed Wang Kai down the mountain. Along the way, they saw many people buried in the snow. Although Wang Kai wanted to help out of kindness, he hesitated and held back. They were all from the prestigious families of Huaxia. Besides, none of the people who came here were easy to deal with. Even if he saved them, he might not receive gratitude in return but instead face "death by disaster."

Wang Kai didn’t feel much psychological burden. He was just that kind of person. Back when he was at the War God Temple abroad, he didn’t know how many people he had killed. Since these families dared to go up the mountain, they should be prepared not to return. Perhaps this avalanche is just one of Kunlun Mountain’s "tests" for visitors.

Meanwhile, Ye Shikai was making his way up the mountain step by step. Along the way, he encountered many people. The avalanche came so suddenly that they were unprepared, and their team was scattered. They were trying to regroup.

"Quick, all come over here; there’s food and tents, hurry and find them."

"Everyone, come here."

The crowd was scattered and looked quite embarrassed. Ye Shikai lowered his hat and walked up alone.

"Look, there seems to be a fight going on there."

"Yes, there are quite a lot of people."

"That’s Chang’an’s Tang Family, and the leading man is the Family Head Tang Can, a well-known figure with great strength in Chang’an. Almost every prominent family came when Kunlun Mountain’s relics opened."

"Alright, stop looking, hurry back, after such a big avalanche, let’s quickly find our other brothers."

"Okay."

Ye Shikai overheard a few people’s conversations and followed the direction they pointed to. Indeed, in a forest not far away, he could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting and shouting.

Approaching to check it out, he saw a group surrounding a few people, and the leader turned out to be the Tang Family Head, Tang Can. Previously, they had some conflicts and even fought when they were at Bai Qi’s relics.

Among those surrounded in the middle, there was even a woman with a ponytail. Ye Shikai struggled to recall her in his mind but couldn’t remember her for the life of him. During the Qin Dynasty, he lost too many memories. If he hadn’t overheard those people’s conversations earlier, he wouldn’t have even remembered Tang Can.

Ye Shikai hid in the nearby bushes. He vaguely remembered the woman but just couldn’t place her.

"Li Yueying, with so few people by your side, how dare you be so arrogant?" A man from the Tang Family stepped out, looking quite like a spoiled rich kid.

"Hmph, your Tang Family is indeed not weak, but I am the eldest daughter of the Li Family. I don’t believe you’d dare to lay a hand on me."

"Li Yueying, Li Yueying." Ye Shikai muttered under his breath, then suddenly smacked his head. "I remember! This Li Yueying is the eldest daughter of the Li Family from Chang’an. I saw her at Bai Qi’s relics back then."

Ye Shikai seemed to have retrieved that portion of his memory. There are three major families in Chang’an: the Li Family, the Tang Family, and the Gongsun Family, with the Li Family being the strongest among them.

"Father, Li Yueying is the eldest daughter of the Li Family. If she is in our hands, the Li Family will certainly fear us," whispered the Tang Family’s young man. Ye Shikai remembered; he’s the Tang Family’s second young master, Tang Nie. Back at Bai Qi’s relics, Ye Shikai had once taught him a lesson.

"Although it’s a bit dishonorable, it is indeed a good strategy," Tang Can said coldly.

"Miss Li, since you can’t find your father, why don’t you come with us? We’ll take you to find him."

"Spit, old man, do you really think I’m stupid?" Li Yueying retorted directly. Although she now only had a few guards by her side, she showed no fear. As the eldest daughter of the Li Family, she was naturally not that easily cowed by Tang Can’s few words.

"Miss, the Tang Family has many people. We’ll cover your retreat; you need to leave quickly," said a guard next to Li Yueying.

"Ridiculous. I want to see who dares to come."

"In that case, let’s do it," Tang Can waved his hand, and Tang Nie led a few people to rush up.

"Courting death."

Whoosh.

Suddenly, Tang Nie felt a numbness in his arm and quickly withdrew his hand. The others also stopped their advance.

"Who’s there?" Tang Can said coldly, looking in the direction the stone was shot from.

"So many people ganging up on one woman and still calling yourselves a prestigious family, isn’t that laughable?" Ye Shikai moved swiftly. Before anyone could clearly see his figure, he was already standing in front of Li Yueying.

"You... I remember now, isn’t this the Chen family’s son-in-law?" Tang Can recognized the newcomer. After all, during the time at the relics, he had crossed paths with Ye Shikai and was at a disadvantage. There were very few opponents he found troublesome, so Tang Can naturally remembered clearly.
