Chapter 871: Chapter 869: Ice Valley
As they conversed, a few of them had already returned to Luoxing Mountain.
Dong Tianlei directly led Wang Zhan and a few others into his room.
Meanwhile, the people standing on Luoxing Mountain crowded around, looking curiously at Wang Zhan and the others.
After all, this was the first time they saw Dong Tianlei proactively bringing people back.
In an instant, everyone followed someone else.
"Who are these people? They even required the domain master to meet them personally?"
"I guess they must be elite warriors, otherwise, how could they receive such treatment?"
"I think so too, but where did the domain master find so many elite warriors?"
"..."
A person among the crowd stepped forward, glanced at Xuan Yu, then smiled slightly and said, "If I’m not mistaken, that guy should be from Profound Ice Pavilion, I think he’s called Xuan Yu..."
"It’s said that this person has already reached the Stellar-level long ago, his strength is formidable, and he’s considered a core force of Dark Netherworld Pavilion, could it be..."
That person hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Has Profound Ice Pavilion already been wiped out by Skyfire Mountain?"
Recently, everyone knew that Profound Ice Pavilion had been in conflict with Skyfire Mountain.
They had already reached a state where neither side would rest until the other was destroyed.
Thinking of this, that person’s face suddenly changed, and he said, "I remember hearing someone say that the domain master of Profound Ice Pavilion had always been in seclusion, aiming to break into the Star River Realm, but now it seems that since Profound Ice Pavilion is destroyed, it proves that the domain master is also..."
Everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads.
Although Luoxing Mountain had always been neutral, it also had its allegiances.
Moreover, Skyfire Mountain’s reputation wasn’t very good.
If it weren’t for the surrounding people’s varied loyalties, it wouldn’t have become the current situation.
Presumably, Skyfire Mountain would have been eliminated long ago.
Upon hearing the discussions, Xuan Yu’s face slightly changed.
And Dong Tianlei obviously heard the conversations too; he glanced at everyone before saying impatiently, "Do you have too much free time? If you have nothing to do, I’ll send you into Ice Valley to play and enjoy yourself."
When they heard this, everyone turned pale with fright, nobody dared to continue talking, and they swiftly dispersed.
Dong Tianlei’s gaze landed once more on Wang Zhan’s crew, then he said, "I’ll have someone arrange your accommodations shortly. Rest assured, stay here at Luoxing Mountain; if the sky falls down, I’ll help support it."
Wang Zhan nodded, but he didn’t care much about these, instead, he asked, "I’m quite curious, what place is this Ice Valley exactly? Those people seem very frightened of it?"
Before Dong Tianlei could speak, Xuan Yu on the side smiled and said, "As far as I know, Ice Valley is supposed to be a sacred place within Profound Ice Pavilion, but it’s also a very terrifying area, apparently, if one lacks enough strength, the cold wind will act like steel blades, directly tearing people apart."
Wang Zhan paused, looking at Dong Tianlei beside him.
Apparently, this was also the first time he heard of Ice Valley’s name.
Dong Tianlei nodded and then laughed, saying, "Ice Valley is indeed a good place; even people from Profound Ice Pavilion wanted to enter it, especially their domain master."
"It’s said that the domain master’s cultivation method is of ice attributes, if they can enter Ice Valley, their strength would steadily rise."
"Of course, for people of Luoxing Mountain, it’s merely a place of endless torment."
Wang Zhan grinned and said, "I’m also tempted to go in and see what it’s like inside Ice Valley?"
Xiang Tian also nodded, "I wonder if I could join in the fun too? I’m very interested in that place."
Luo Xue also stepped forward.
Sure enough, the three of them consistently stayed aligned.
Xuan Yu standing at the side shook his head while smiling, "If Mr. Wang wants to enter, it’s understandable, but as for you two, you’d better forget about it, because without sufficient strength, entering would merely waste time and bring unnecessary suffering."
"Are you underestimating me?"
Xiang Tian slightly frowned.
Xuan Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask the domain master, I’m sure he won’t deceive you, and he will tell you about the situation in Ice Valley."
Xiang Tian’s gaze immediately fell on Dong Tianlei.
Standing by, Dong Tianlei nodded, smiled, and said, "Indeed, he’s not making this up; it’s truly not a place ordinary people can enter, it’s far more terrifying than you imagine."
"So, I’d advise you not without absolute strength—better not to follow Mr. Wang in, to avoid becoming a burden to him."
Hearing this, Luo Xue went beside Xiang Tian, pulled his arm, and smiled, saying, "Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t go in, otherwise it would add more pressure to Brother Wang."
Xiang Tian might not listen to others, but he is completely obedient to Wang Zhan and Luo Xue.
Although he often argues with Luo Xue, it’s clear that Xiang Tian acts like an elder brother.
Moreover, in moments of danger, he is even willing to step forward and protect Luo Xue.
Xiang Tian walked to Wang Zhan’s side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Since that’s the case, we won’t join in the fun anymore, but you should still be careful. I really don’t want to get into a fight with the people from Luoxing Mountain again..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan smacked him on the head and said irritably, "Can’t you cause me less trouble, kid?"
"If it weren’t for your big clash with the people from the Profound Ice Pavilion, how could we have left the Profound Ice Pavilion so quickly?"
Dong Tianlei awkwardly coughed twice.
In his view, Wang Zhan’s confrontation with the people from the Profound Ice Pavilion was very beneficial to him.
After all, though they offended the Profound Ice Pavilion, it allowed him to recruit talents like Wang Zhan.
Moreover, the strength Wang Zhan displayed was truly astounding.
As they spoke, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Dong Tianlei. He then smiled and said, "This brother of mine fears nothing, so I’ll have to trouble you, Domain Lord, to take care of him. Of course, if he does anything wrong, you can directly discipline him."
In fact, Wang Zhan’s words were very tactful.
Not only did it provide a way out for Dong Tianlei, but it also explained the relationship between him and Xiang Tian.
This way, even if he’s not here, Dong Tianlei is likely to give them special care.
At the very least, he won’t let anything happen to them.
Dong Tianlei nodded with a smile and continued, "Rest assured, everyone in Luoxing Mountain obeys my commands, so nothing will happen to your people, of course, as long as they don’t leave Luoxing Mountain."
After all, though Dong Tianlei is powerful, he doesn’t want to confront Huo Yuan.
A battle between the two would surely result in earth cracks.
So, unless it’s absolutely necessary, neither will make the first move.
Wang Zhan nodded, "Then arrange for me to enter the Ice Valley now."
"In such a hurry?"
Dong Tianlei shook his head with a smile, "I’ve even prepared a welcome banquet for you tonight, don’t you want to eat something before you leave?"
"Is the temptation of Ice Valley really that great for you?"
Wang Zhan laughed, "Those around me know what I favor more, and that’s my own strength. Moreover, I’ve recently encountered more and more formidable foes, and I’ve suddenly realized my own weaknesses."
Dong Tianlei shook his head helplessly and said, "Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you. I’ll arrange for you to enter the Ice Valley now."
Wang Zhan nodded.
He walked over to Xiang Tian and his companions, patted them on the shoulders, and said, "The Domain Lord has thrown us a lifeline in a critical moment, so you two absolutely cannot cause trouble, and even if I don’t come out of the Ice Valley for a long time, you must wait here peacefully. Remember, don’t leave Luoxing Mountain at all."
Xiang Tian and his companions nodded emphatically. freёwebnovel.com
In the blink of an eye, a disciple from Luoxing Mountain had already approached Wang Zhan and, after a respectful bow, said, "Sir, I will take you to the Ice Valley now."
After Wang Zhan bade farewell to everyone, he headed to the distance.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached a high mountain.
One must admit that Luoxing Mountain has many attractive features.
Not only is there an endless night sky, but also undulating mountain ranges.
It’s a place that makes people reluctant to leave.
Surely, staying here would be extremely pleasant.
Unfortunately, Wang Zhan had just glanced at the overall strength of Luoxing Mountain’s disciples and found them far inferior to Skyfire Mountain and the Profound Ice Pavilion...
Of course, perhaps there are experts in Luoxing Mountain, but they simply haven’t revealed themselves yet.
After the disciple respectfully looked at Wang Zhan, he said, "Sir, my strength is quite insignificant, so I’ll accompany you until here. Once you cross over this mountain, you’ll see a snow-covered area, which is the entrance to the Ice Valley. You just need to enter."
Wang Zhan nodded.
In the blink of an eye, he headed toward the Ice Valley.
As the disciple left, the Sword Spirit walked out slowly.
Wang Zhan glanced at her and then asked with a smile, "Is there something valuable in the Ice Valley too?"
