Free Web NovelAokimoku City was in a state of temporary tranquility and peace, while Senluo Valley was thousands of miles away.
The valley, which was perpetually shrouded in miasma, was now covered in thick, cotton-like gray snow.
As winter approached, the place became even more sunless and moonless, with no distinction between day and night, and no discernible directions (east, south, west, north). A biting cold wind blew out of the valley, like the wailing of night ghosts.
Deep within the valley, the temple, adorned with various mystical murals, had its doors tightly shut.
If one looked closely, they would find that the creatures in the various murals bore a striking resemblance to the ferocious Disaster Beasts present?
"That despicable Mingjiao Clan is pretending to be ignorant, even though the Human Race's Qianlong Ranking has been released, they still pretend not to know that Wu Mo is Human Race!"
A strange bird with several heads chirped noisily, its body still not fully recovered from its injuries.
"Hahaha, back then, the Ghost Chariot Clan fed on Ming Jiaolong, but now they can't even deal with a fifth-grade Ming Jiaolong."
A Hou Clan monster, shaped like a large dog, laughed strangely.
"Laughing at me? Your Hou Clan once boasted of feeding on True Dragon, but what about now? You almost got the dog shit beaten out of you by the Giant Whale Clan."
"Damn it, I'm a Hou, not a dog! I told you Wu Mo is Human Race, but none of these blockheads understand Yao Beast language."
"Stupid dog."
"You dare to curse again!"
Apparently, one head couldn't argue with five heads.
Seeing that the two Disaster Beasts were about to fight, the other Disaster Beasts all sneered, but none stepped forward to stop them.
"Hmph."
A cold snort, neither human nor beast, sounded, causing the two beasts to grudgingly calm down.
"Hall Master."
It was a person completely wrapped in a black robe, with half of their exposed face covered in eerie tattoos.
The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts.
Standing beside him were individuals all wearing bronze masks, clearly the priests of various towns.
Not long after.
Boom—
The heavy doors of the temple rumbled open, and a figure dressed in thin, blood-red clothes stepped out.
"Han Shi."
The numerous Disaster Beasts were uncharacteristically well-behaved, all lowering their heads.
"Han Shi, the treasured arm you requested has been refined."
The Hall Master of Hundred Beasts took out a jade box, which contained a purplish-blue arm with bulging veins and a mouth full of sharp teeth on its palm.
Han Zhen casually waved his hand, and a shadowy wind lifted the arm to float before him.
He tore off his own already withered arm, as if tearing off a dead branch, and casually threw it away, where it was devoured by the purplish-blue arm.
A moment later, blood vessels grew from the end of the purplish-blue arm, attaching themselves to his arm.
Han Zhen's eyes, which seemed to burn with ghostly fire, swept over the dense mass of various Disaster Beasts present, and he said softly:
"You were once revered as Heavenly Gods, totems of great tribes, pillars of Dynasties, enjoying supreme glory."
"But now, we can only huddle in this barren land of the Southern Frontier, living like savages."
The bloodthirsty expressions of the Disaster Beasts became dazed for a moment.
Once upon a time, they were the Dominators of these Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they received the reverence and worship of the world, like gods.
But now.
They seemed to have become wild beasts?
"Now, the opportunity to revive the divine tree and welcome back the ancestral spirits is at hand!"
"Those Yao Beasts are ultimately a disorganized mess. Li Mo and Ying Bing's Human Race identities have been revealed to the world, so they have no reason to stop us anymore."
"Are you willing to break through Aokimoku City, retrieve the divine jade, and reclaim your former glory?"
In the biting wind of Senluo Valley.
The earth-shattering roars drowned out the ghostly wails, scattering the layers of clouds in the sky.
.........
"Then I won't see you off."
"Farewell."
Young Marquis Zhong didn't react.
This was the private room he booked.
He had just agreed to meet Li Mo tomorrow, and was excitedly planning to return to the military camp, preparing to lead his personal guards for a night of training.
His father often said.
A truly invincible general never relied on personal bravery, but on leading and managing the army.
"Little Marquis's carriage seems to have changed?"
Li Mo watched the carriage and horses depart, feeling a sense of surprise.
This carriage was decent for an ordinary family, but for someone of Zhong Zhenyue's status, it seemed a bit shabby.
Perhaps it was because he left in a hurry.
Li Mo didn't think much of it.
He turned and returned to the restaurant, heading to the kitchen, as he hadn't properly cooked for Ice Cube in a long time.
The chef initially thought this kid was here to cause trouble, until he pulled out those ingredients.
He simply made four dishes and one soup, then returned upstairs.
He removed the candle from the lampshade, replaced it with a glowing clam pearl, and then sat on the bed, practicing cultivation while suppressing the light of the jade phoenix god.
Night fell.
While practicing, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing.
Ice Cube took off her socks and short boots, placing her rounded, slender legs into the wooden tub. Occasionally, she would splash the water. Although she was spotless, she had been washing her feet frequently lately.
Slap—
A drop of water splashed out, hitting Xiao Li's brow with a plop.
"Focus."
Ying Bing pursed her lips, her voice clear and melodious.
How could he stare while someone else was washing her feet?
"Ice Cube, help me."
......
Isn't it strange?
He didn't even need to open his eyes; just by listening, he could visualize the scene, and even felt an urge to use the Flower-Plucking Finger.
This occupational hazard was truly terrifying, no wonder it was a Supreme martial art.
"Don't do this again next time."
Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
How did she remember saying this more than once?
"Next time, definitely!"
Xiao Li's eyes were firm.
Ying Bing's eyes were dim, and the air in the room suddenly turned cold, with ripples of light flowing around her body.
Not long after, her clothes transformed into an ice-colored immortal-like skirt, and frost flowers subtly floated among her hair. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
The already cool Ice Cube became even more aloof and unreachable, exuding a sense of holiness.
This was originally not a problem.
But she wiped her small feet clean, crossed her legs, and sat properly, her eyes dim and seemingly reproachful.
Perhaps even she herself didn't realize how deadly this terrible contrast was.
Cold Goose Form.
As a Supreme martial art, if the 'Jade Phoenix Form' had consciousness and knew it was being used this way, it would probably wish it had rotted away in the jade phoenix god.
"Practice properly, or I'll go open another room." freeweɓnovel.cøm
.....
Xiao Li felt he needed to calm down by looking at the monkey, so he took out the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram.
"Really... getting more and more presumptuous..."
Ying Bing retracted her playful gaze, and her curled fingers relaxed.
Letting out a soft sigh, her gaze turned towards the distant south.
'Qianlong and Phoenix combine, stirring up wind and clouds across the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.'
This was the Yantian Sect's evaluation.
Their trip to the Southern Frontier had probably caused some irreversible impact on the area, perhaps even accelerating the outbreak of certain events?
Ying Bing frowned and pondered.
And also.
System ranking.
After such a long delay, he had missed out on quite a few rewards...
Ding dong—
Host, you finally remembered this System! That's right, it's ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) just a small punishment, what is it compared to the rewards?
Congratulations on finally understanding!
Do you wish to start this ranking?
