Free Web NovelChapter 799: Chapter 798: The Great Enemy Approaches
"Once we pass through this valley, can we reach Extreme Wilderness City?"
An elderly man with a decrepit appearance, hunched back, and a long knife at his waist stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the snowstorm-laden valley.
"That’s right!"
A few accompanying men answered respectfully.
This old man was Yu Zhenhai!
Ever since they received the news from Rong Chuanlin about the appearance of a Human Immortal Tomb in Extreme Wilderness City, they had been traveling day and night without pause. The city was almost within reach, yet they were stalled by this valley.
This valley.
Known as Ice Wind Valley, it is a renowned forbidden land in the Extreme North Region. The valley is perpetually swept by fierce winds and icy gusts.
"Master Hai, this is a windstorm!"
A subordinate blew warm air onto his hands, gazing at the swirling snow and howling winds in the valley with a face full of fear:
"Ice Wind Valley is inherently perilous. Once a windstorm hits, no Human Immortal entering this place has ever made it out alive. Moreover, during a windstorm, those icy beasts become several times fiercer than usual!"
The others nodded repeatedly.
Even from afar, the chill emanating from Ice Wind Valley made them feel as if their blood was freezing. Especially the beast’s screech piercing through the raging wind, causing every hair on their bodies to stand on end!
"Really?"
Yu Zhenhai spoke.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless snowstorm and traverse the long Ice Wind Valley.
"You all head back! I’ll proceed alone!"
Everyone was taken aback by his words.
This was no ordinary valley. Even the strongest Human Immortal wouldn’t dare to barge into Ice Wind Valley during a windstorm. Just as the others were about to persuade him...
They saw Yu Zhenhai already stepping into Ice Wind Valley with his hands behind his back.
"Master Hai!"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Only to see.
The turbulent wind mixed with frost and snow like an inverted gigantic wave sweeping down. A Human Immortal stepping into Ice Wind Valley was instantly engulfed by the wind, his body stiffened, frozen to death on the spot!
Yet Yu Zhenhai paid no attention, directly opening a True Qi Shield, enveloping a ten-zhang radius, forcibly repelling the snowstorm.
Thus.
Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, Yu Zhenhai proceeded with his hands behind his back, step by step into Ice Wind Valley, until his silhouette was entirely swallowed by the snow.
Only after a moment did the group react.
One quickly shouted loudly:
"Hurry and inform Master Rong!"
...
Meanwhile.
On the other side of Ice Wind Valley.
Rong Chuanlin, with hands behind his back, stared at the turbulent wind of Ice Wind Valley, his brows furrowed deeply. The cold winds intermittently emerging from the valley made the people behind him tremble, exhaling deeply.
"It’s been three days already and Master Hai hasn’t come out!"
"Indeed, I heard that despite knowing there was a windstorm, Master Hai forced his way into Ice Wind Valley. This year’s windstorm is far stronger than previous years, I’m afraid even Master Hai can’t pass through!"
"I also heard that a fierce beast of Half-Step Earth Immortal rank appeared in Ice Wind Valley... Whenever a windstorm arises, it is bound to appear!"
Many subordinates stomped their feet, and the array around them barely resisted the bone-chilling coldness. Even their hair tips and brows were frosted.
They gazed at the surging windstorm of Ice Wind Valley, whispering to each other.
Listening to the whispers.
Rong Chuanlin’s brows furrowed even tighter.
Having roamed the Kunlun Realm for years, he knew what this windstorm represented. Countless top-tier Human Immortals, confident in their skills, disregarded Ice Wind Valley, only to become mere skeletons within it.
Moreover.
Due to this year’s cold snap, the windstorm in Ice Wind Valley is a third stronger than usual.
This Yu Zhenhai, a top expert he painstakingly recruited, better not perish in Ice Wind Valley before even meeting him.
Roar!
At that moment.
A Heaven-shocking roar suddenly erupted from Ice Wind Valley, the terrifying tiger’s roar resounded through the heavens and earth, causing everyone in front of the valley to have their Qi Blood shaken, their eardrums aching, piercing through the fierce wind with immense penetrative power!
"What beast is this? To possess such might?"
Rong Chuanlin’s heart trembled.
Immediately following.
Came sounds of fierce combat, but before anyone could respond, the sounds vanished as if they never existed. The crowd exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
"Could it be?"
Rong Chuanlin’s face changed, filled with ominous foreboding.
That earlier roar was definitely the fierce beast residing in Ice Wind Valley. It’s fighting someone. Could it be Yu Zhenhai? How could the noises cease so quickly? Could Yu Zhenhai be slain?
However.
Before everyone could recover from the recent events, they heard slow footsteps approaching through the wind and snow. Though the pace was slow, it carried immense might; each step resembled the landing of an ancient tyrannosaurus.
"Master Rong, look!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
At that moment.
Someone exclaimed.
The crowd quickly looked up to see, amidst the snow-filled valley, a massive figure gradually becoming clear. That was an entirely snow-white, incredibly mystical White Tiger, akin to an Ancient Fierce Beast.
More terrifying was.
There was an elderly man with a gaunt face and a long knife at his waist sitting atop this White Tiger.
"What am I seeing? That’s the Profound Nether Tiger... did he actually tame the Profound Nether Tiger in Ice Wind Valley?"
The area fell silent.
Even.
The raging winds of Ice Wind Valley seemed forcibly subdued.
In everyone’s eyes, only the elder riding the Profound Nether Tiger remained.
"Master Hai?"
Rong Chuanlin trembled and called.
"Rong Chuanlin, didn’t you say that the Earth Immortal Tomb was ripe for the taking? Why was there a mishap?" Yu Zhenhai sat on the Profound Nether Tiger, looking down at Rong Chuanlin, his voice colder than the winds inside Ice Wind Valley.
Upon hearing this, Rong Chuanlin broke into cold sweat, quickly stammering, "Master Hai, it’s not my fault; it’s all because of those two brats from Taotian Palace. They ruined my plans!"
Under Yu Zhenhai’s oppressive gaze, he finally recounted the events regarding the Tang Family in detail.
"Two snot-nosed brats from Taotian Palace dare to compete with me?" Yu Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing, "Not killing them would not vent the anger in my heart!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Chuanlin was overjoyed.
With Yu Zhenhai backing him, what was there to fear? Not only eliminating Ye Qingchen and Zheng Jiuling, but leveling the entire Extreme Wilderness City would be a breeze.
"In that case, I implore Master Hai to wait a little while longer!" Rong Chuanlin sneered, "Zheng Jiuling, that old ghost, has already taken the Tang Family’s commission and found the tomb’s entrance. Right now, he’s opening the tomb."
"We can wait a few days for them to finish exploring the tomb... Then strike last! At that time, slaying and seizing treasures will be as easy as picking items from a sack!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenhai’s eyes flickered for a moment before he finally spoke in a deep voice:
"Alright!"
"Let those brats live a few more days!"
