The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2241: 2230: Bold Kid

Capítulo 2241: Chapter 2230: Bold Kid

Ye Chenfeng clearly craved the Rejuvenation Elixir with great urgency.

Zhao Jinpeng, Zhao Shenghong, and Zhao Wenyu detailed the exact spot of Ice Lion Valley along with the Rejuvenation Elixir's location.

As Zhao Jinpeng and his group explained, stepping into Ice Lion Valley typically envelops the whole area in dense white fog, disorienting anyone inside and trapping them forever.

In the Nine Nether Ice Lion clan's long history, various members had stumbled into Ice Lion Valley—driven by curiosity or other motives—and not a single one emerged alive. Over time, it turned into a forbidden zone, safe only amid the ritual held every ten years.

That said, even during the ritual, utmost care is essential since Ice Lion Valley harbors profound strangeness. Straying off path or contacting taboo objects might bring on dire sickness or bizarre injuries to the body.

The Rejuvenation Elixir's storage spot remains off-limits even in ritual times; it's interred alongside a Nine Nether Ice Lion ancestor, demanding the coffin's lid be lifted to retrieve the pair of tiny vials.

This explains why Zhao Jinpeng and company deemed it immensely challenging.

Furthermore, the fog grows denser as more individuals step in, dense enough to block cultivators' senses.

Upon listening to Zhao Jinpeng's tale, Ye Chenfeng sank into contemplation.

Shortly after, he declared gravely: “If I enter Ice Lion Valley and open your ancestor’s coffin, would that be disrespectful?”

Zhao Shenghong answered, “You are the Dragon Clan Leader; the Rejuvenation Elixir is crucially needed by you. Our ancestor’s spirit will understand. However, Ice Lion Valley is not within our domain; if you enter, let us accompany you.”

Ye Chenfeng shook his head: “Did you not say more people mean thicker mist? Ice Lion Valley is undoubtedly strange, the more people, the more danger. I’ll handle it alone; I have ways to protect myself.”

Noticing Zhao Shenghong and the rest about to argue more, Ye Chenfeng cut in: “Rest assured, as Dragon Clan Leader, am I not prepared to protect myself? Your company might not only be unhelpful but increase the danger.”

With the Chaos Ring in his possession, Ye Chenfeng knew he could escape into a small world in crises, though dragging others might prove impossible.

Persuaded by Ye Chenfeng’s firm determination, Zhao Shenghong and others could only relent, grasping that fewer people spell less risk. They seldom ventured into Ice Lion Valley and knew little of its secrets.

Zhao Jinpeng finally spoke up: “Clan Leader, the Rejuvenation Elixir lies in Ancestor Beichen’s coffin, sealed in unique vessels that prevent evaporation or decay.”

“Once inside Ice Lion Valley, seek out the coffins, which are set into the valley’s rock walls, each bearing a name. Search for the one inscribed with Beichen—that’s Ancestor Beichen.”

Unwilling to delay further, Ye Chenfeng set off right away for Ice Lion Valley, still anxious over the troubles brewing in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin and the shifting situations in Central State.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s haste, Zhao Jinpeng dismissed the crowd before personally escorting him to Ice Lion Valley. Bai Xiaorou came too, while Zhao Chengming and Zhao Huaqing insisted on following.

Ice Lion Valley was situated in the southern part of this hidden small world.

Guided by Zhao Jinpeng, the group journeyed over two hours until reaching a colossal valley gateway.

Ahead loomed two enormous white snow-capped mountains, their summits meeting.

These fused snow mountains shaped the valley.

Its gateway looked just like a lion’s gaping jaws.

At the entrance, Ye Chenfeng sensed a sinister chill, unlike ordinary frost—one that even Nine Nether Ice Lions couldn’t fully draw in.

Old Bai, Wu Fengxian’s voice abruptly rang in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: “Little fellow, no wonder entry issues arise, it’s a place of concentrated Yin energy. Corpses long embedded here absorb the growth of spiritual residues, forming soul-like entities recalling their past memories.”

“Yet, calling them souls isn’t accurate; true souls can transform into Ghost Cultivators, unlike entities here bound eternally, dissipating if they leave this domain.”

“The decadal ritual coincides with the peak of Yang energy, granting safety to respectful entrants, avoiding soul-like entity stimuli, preserving peace in their memory.”

Old Hei, Jiang Yuntian chimed in: “Boy, outside rituals, those entities crave blood and flesh, driven by overpowering hunger even against kin intruders.”

“Despite recognizing their offspring, their insatiable hunger would still compel aggression.”

From Old Bai and Old Hei’s words, Ye Chenfeng confronted a grim truth—the pursuit of the Rejuvenation Elixir was anything but easy. Yet standing before Ice Lion Valley now, resolve pushed him forward.

Bai Xiaorou longed to enter alongside Ye Chenfeng, but his staunch denial forced her to remain outside.

Noticing the worry in Bai Xiaorou’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng entered Ice Lion Valley by himself; since she knew about his Chaos Ring, she finally consented with reluctance.

Ye Chenfeng’s silhouette swiftly vanished from the view of Bai Xiaorou and her companions.

Ye Chenfeng, inside Ice Lion Valley.

experienced a sharpening chill, with denser fog blocking his vision, and even his Divine Sense found it hard to penetrate.

Using his instincts for guidance, he followed Zhao Jinpeng’s approximate map of the valley’s layout and directions.

After advancing for roughly half an hour.

Ye Chenfeng detected something wrong, feeling invisible eyes locked on him while the breathed-in air nearly froze his lungs.

All of a sudden.

Ahead, only about ten meters distant, the heavy mist swirled.

Shaping into a hovering specter of an old man, whose face showed intense craving, along with strange energy pulses matching Divine King Realm strength.

A hoarse, elderly voice rasped from it: “Bold youngling, daring intrusion in Ice Lion Valley?”

“Oh? You lack Nine Nether Ice Lion aura? Good, wonderful, old man can feast today.”
