As soon as a trace of suspicion was born in her heart, a gust of wild wind suddenly rolled up behind her.
The Feng Family Patriarch immediately sensed the threat and was about to make a move, but her body, including her spirit, seemed to be immobilized as if a mountain weighed down on her, petrifying her completely.
"Returning to Truth!"
She was horrified.
Suddenly, from behind, a pair of strong and wide hands grabbed her shoulders and whisked her away into the sky, disappearing from this forest as if riding on clouds.
A moment later.
A stream of icy air accompanied by the fluctuation of Primordial Spirit swept from the depths of the forest, causing snow and icicles to drop from branches and shatter on the ground. The chilling air suddenly formed a frightening, huge cold face, roaring past. Suddenly, its hollow eyes paused on a pair of slightly sunken footprints in the forest, uttering a light "Oh?"
"Interesting... Someone came here and managed to escape unharmed under my nose?"
The hollow mouth of the frosty face opened and closed a few times, transforming into a whirl of cold wind, tracking in the direction indicated by its mysterious sensation. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Not far away in the forest, a few snow trees were crouched with several cold crows, retreating their necks to avoid cold, constantly shaking their feathers to prevent snowflakes from falling on them.
Suddenly a cold wind blew, and a few cold crows stiffened sharply, then incredibly transformed into ice sculptures, welded onto the branches.
The giant frosty face appeared again in the forest, suddenly shattered and manifested into the figure of an old man wearing a black Dragon Robe and a Mystic Ice Mask. He stood puzzled on the ground, looking at the frozen crows on the tree branch, tilting his head, calculating with his fingers, and speaking in a heavy, peculiar tone.
"Strange... How strange... In this world, is there an alchemist who understands miraculous techniques like mine? Someone who could elude me, hiss——who exactly is it?"
...
Outside the Snow God Mountain Range, thirty miles away, a turbid dragon-shaped air current swept through the snow-covered fields, suddenly stopping by a river with a frozen surface, from which two figures emerged from the current.
One of the figures was tall and imposing, with disheveled hair, a stern face, and stone-carved features, none other than the Undying Yin Zhong.
"Senior Yin, I didn’t expect you were secretly following me all the way. Could it be the Black Wind Village Chief’s intention?"
The Feng Family Patriarch, released by Yin Zhong, adjusted her collar, looking at him with some astonishment. freēwēbnovel.com
"Hmph!"
Yin Zhong snorted displeasedly, hands behind his back, speaking calmly, "This was not his intention, but my own decision. It’s fortunate I made that decision, otherwise you would not only have been exposed just now, but might also have been dead."
The Feng Family Patriarch wanted to retort, but recalling the terrifying images that emerged in her mind earlier, she couldn’t help but exhale, nodding and frowning, "Indeed, I also sensed intense danger just now, so I didn’t advance. I didn’t expect you to appear immediately."
Yin Zhong turned to look at the distant Snow God Mountain Range, lying like a sleeping ice dragon, saying gravely, "What you don’t know is that within forty breaths after we left, an expert appeared. Such quick speed, fortunately, I had already made two preparations, otherwise risk might still befall today."
"What?"
The Feng Family Patriarch exclaimed in amazement, solemnly saying, "Even you, Senior, felt danger. Could it be that the expert was the Emissary..."
"Don’t speak."
Yin Zhong interrupted calmly, coldly saying, "We’re too close now. Speaking out his origin might still be sensed and captured by his Power of Primordial Spirit. This place remains unsafe; we must leave immediately."
The Feng Family Patriarch felt a chill in her heart, saying, "He sensed me so quickly, could it be his Primordial Spirit Power has covered the entire mountain range? Or has he sensed the Phoenix Blood?"
Yin Zhong replied calmly, "It could be both; we cannot afford to be careless."
After saying this, he suddenly touched the icy surface of the river with two fingers, instantly breaking the ice and capturing several fish from the water, flopping and struggling in the air.
"Bring out the Phoenix Blood, I will wrap it within Inner Strength and feed it to these fish. When the fish disperse after entering the water, they might buy us some time."
...
Inside the Leshan Branch of Black Wind Village.
Jiang Dali bathed and groomed again within the branch, then put on clothes tailored urgently by the branch’s tailor, and decided to personally meet the two mysterious women.
Debugging the origins of those women was not only his guess; even within the branch, many who witnessed the graceful figures of the two women speculated and secretly discussed. Some clever ones had even begun alerting Master Wang and Murong Sect Master at the Black Wind Village headquarters.
"Hey, two more women, no need to see their faces; just the back view is at least a ninety. The missing ten points are reserved for our Mountain Village’s brothers who have invested in a few wives."
"Every day I envy the Chief!"
"What’s their background? They say when visiting a mountain leader, one should indulge their hobbies. Could women be our village chief’s hobby? Or has our village chief changed interests again? How come two beauties visit the leader again?"
"Are you suggesting squandering or hinting you could help save manpower and resources for the Chief?"
"Hey? He went in, went in, the Chief went in. Those sister flowers followed into the reception room."
Inside the reception room, Jiang Dali dressed in hastily tailored attire, openly greeted the two mysterious women and four followers after they paid respect, listening carefully to their stated origins, his face slightly changed, smilingly saying.
"I thought such beauties belong to some noble house, never suspected they come from a powerful faction of the Holy Dynasty, thus beyond the label of ’thousand gold,’ but ’ten thousand gold.’ You two don’t need to be so formal, please sit."
Hearing this, the Purple-clothed woman with a veiled face tenderly lowered her head, almost touching her well-endowed chest, softly laughing, "Ling Xu appreciates the praise from the village chief. For a peerless hero like yourself, Ling Xu and sister Ling Yue hardly deserve to be called ’ten thousand gold.’
After speaking, she intended to remove her veil alongside her third sister, attracting even the servants outside the room to sneak peeks inside.
Usually, she behaved coldly as ice towards anyone, but now she uniquely warmed to Jiang Dali, seemingly with subtle fondness. If those many admirers from the Holy Dynasty bore witness to such demeanor, they’d surely envy Jiang Dali with jealousy and resentment.
However, just as the two were about to remove their veils, Jiang Dali raised his hand to stop them, smiling calmly, "You two needn’t unveil. This thin piece of fabric scarcely hides from my sight as village chief. Speak directly, please."
Upon hearing this, the two women’s actions halted, their cheeks blush, feeling as though their clothing was worn in vain, unable to shield from his gaze. Immediately, they conveniently sit and state their business...
