Yaoguang Fairy Path

Chapter 114 Uninvited Guests - Murderous Intentions

In the tranquil purple bamboo forest, Luo Yunhan sat like a statue, his eyes tightly closed. He was beneath a massive ball of lightning. This ball of light radiated a dazzling glow, while a translucent, ice-blue protective shield, as pure as crystal, enveloped it.

On the outskirts of the forest, every move of the four major families seemed to be under the surveillance of Luo Yunhan's powerful spiritual sense, and they had nowhere to hide.

His spiritual awareness, like a vast net, silently enveloped the entire Misty Forest, sensing no movement. If anyone dared to approach this frozen land without permission, the pressure he unleashed would be as ruthless as a violent storm, strangling them mercilessly. He hoped no one, tired of living, would seek death.

At this moment, Luo Yunhan's heart was filled with longing and expectation for Yao'er.

Yao'er's extra Thunder Spiritual Root was rapidly growing. If it could fully develop with the help of the power of the Thunder Pond, it might be able to reach its peak, on par with her original Ice Spiritual Root. Therefore, he absolutely could not allow anyone to disturb Yao'er at this critical moment, allowing her to cultivate peacefully in this Thunder Pond until her Thunder Spiritual Root fully awakened.

Li Yunxiao stroked his chin, his brow furrowed, puzzled. Why, after so long, was that mysterious place still silent and silent, with no sign of movement? He prepared to use all his spiritual power to investigate.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness surged out like a tidal wave, instantly covering every corner of the Mist Hidden Forest. However, when his consciousness reached a place emitting a strong icy aura, it suddenly encountered a strong backlash.

A powerful force suddenly erupted from his consciousness, and he felt a chill run through his heart, followed by a spurt of blood. His face changed, and he was shocked: he had never expected that man to be so powerful, and his consciousness was so vulnerable in front of him.

Li Yunxiao calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and secretly felt lucky: Fortunately, the other party did not have the intention to kill him, otherwise he would probably have to stay in this forest.

He had now been exposed to the other party's perception, so he quickly restrained his consciousness and stopped acting rashly.

Chu Mo and Qing Feng hurried forward and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

Li Yunxiao gently waved away the hands of the two people who were supporting him. He quickly wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He bowed slightly towards the frozen ground emitting a chilling aura, his voice filled with respect: "Thank you for your mercy, Senior. I didn't mean to disturb you. Please forgive me if I have offended you. We will leave now."

After saying this, Li Yunxiao slowly left with the help of two disciples. He secretly felt fortunate that he had come here with no ill intentions, otherwise the blow just now would not only have injured him, but might even have directly caused his consciousness to dissipate.

He turned to Chu Mo and said, "Mo'er, send a message to your senior brother. Tell him not to approach the inner icy area and not to make any rash moves. Just bring back the news from here." He paused, a sneer flashing in his eyes. "If Ling Zhihong and the others want to obtain the divine beast, I'm afraid they won't be able to return."

Within the Ice Realm, deep within the purple bamboo forest, Luo Yunhan sat in meditation, cultivating. His brows suddenly furrowed as he sensed a group of people gradually approaching the bamboo forest. His face instantly became stained with displeasure and a cold murderous intent, and he sneered inwardly, "How dare they?"

Meanwhile, Xiang Yan, upon receiving the news from Psylocke, quickly canceled his carefully prepared plan. He knew it was inappropriate to act rashly at this moment, so he decided to follow the Ling family from a distance, observing secretly and waiting to see what would happen.

Meanwhile, within the Ling family's ranks, Ling Zhihong was furious. With a powerful surge of spiritual energy, he angrily kicked the nearby tree to the ground, sending wood chips flying. His eyes, like poisoned knives, pierced the young man beside him, shouting, "You useless idiot! Where's the divine beast? Didn't they say it was nearby? Why can't I even see a shadow?"

Cold sweat dripped down the young man's forehead, and fear surged within him like a tide. He replied in a trembling voice, "Master, we have indeed discovered an icy place to the east. It's incredibly cold, but we were afraid of alerting the enemy, so we only dared to peek in from afar."

Ling Zhihong stood with his hands behind his back, his brow furrowed, his eyes gleaming with impatience and coldness. He snorted, "Hmph! If that's the case, then you lead the way. If you return empty-handed again this time, you'll be thrown into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and join those demonic snakes."

The moment the young man heard the words "Ten Thousand Snake Cave," he felt a surge of fear. He knew full well that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was a forbidden area in the Ling family's back mountains, housing countless ferocious snakes. Entering it would be a life-or-death experience. He couldn't help but shudder, his resolve already made up: this time, he would flee the Ling family and stay away from this dangerous place.

However, he didn't dare show the slightest sign of abnormality. He could only suppress his fear and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, Patriarch. I understand. I will proceed with caution this time to ensure that I gain something."

When Xiang Yan was about to get up quietly behind the grass, he suddenly heard a slight creaking sound of dry branches being stepped on. His heart tightened, and he immediately signaled the three people behind him to continue squatting and not dare to move at all.

Murong Cheng, the patriarch of the Murong family, lowered his voice and asked Zhang Zeye beside him with a hint of uncertainty: "Brother-in-law, do you think we can really find the legendary mythical beast Phoenix by following Ling Zhihong?"

Zhang Zeye, the patriarch of the Zhang family, patted Murong Cheng on the shoulder and gave him firm confidence: "Yes, Ah Cheng. I have people planted in there, and I just received news that Ling Zhihong has found traces of the divine beast. This time, we must get it."

Seeing their voices gradually fade away, Xiang Yan cautiously waved his hand to signal the three people behind him to follow him and move forward quietly.

On the Ling family's side, under the guidance of the young man, they quickly found the location of the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Ling Zhihong stood in front, his eyes fixed on a vast expanse of white, a blanket of thick ice, a world of ice and snow. He took two steps back, his expression now shrouded in a new layer of caution. He pointed at a disciple behind him and ordered, "You, go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, the disciple immediately stepped forward and respectfully responded with a bow: "Yes, Master." Then, he carefully stepped into the area covered with ice.

Seeing that the disciple was treading steadily on the ice, showing no signs of any problem, Ling Zhihong relaxed a little. He nodded slightly, signaling the disciple to continue forward.

The young man was so excited that he almost jumped up. He tried to peek through the ice crystals to see what was happening inside, his eyes gleaming with greed and enthusiasm. He pointed at the mysterious place and said in a trembling voice, "Master, look! The mythical phoenix must be inside!"

At this moment, Luo Yunhan had already sensed these uninvited guests had entered his territory. A charming yet dangerous arc curved his lips, like a flower about to bloom in the dark night. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he had already prepared the final judgment for these greedy invaders.

Ling Zhihong was filled with ecstasy upon hearing the young man's words. He felt as if he could already see the mythical phoenix waving at him, as if the beast's power already belonged to him. His face lit up with excitement and pride, as if the entire world was at his feet.

However, just as they were about to unleash their spiritual power to shatter the seemingly fragile ice shield, an unexpected event occurred. The two disciples in front of Ling Zhihong were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by a burst of extremely cold air. Then, these ice sculptures slowly crumbled in the cold wind, transforming into countless ice fragments.

This scene caused panic among the disciples present. They all took out their defensive magical instruments, trying to resist the sudden chill. However, the chill seemed to be everywhere. No matter how they resisted, they felt a biting cold coming from all directions.

The young man leading the way was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He carefully observed the situation around him while thinking rapidly in his mind how to escape from this dangerous place. He knew that if he continued to stay here, he would probably end up like the two disciples.

Seeing this, Ling Zhihong's heart was filled with alarm. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power and built a solid defense.

A dazzling ochre-colored beam of spiritual power erupted from his hand. Following the release of this beam, a strong wind blew, sending yellow sand flying all over the sky. Under the control of his spiritual power, the sand instantly piled up into a circular fortress, tightly protecting Ling Zhihong and the disciples behind him.

However, this seemingly indestructible defense seemed so fragile in the face of the power of extreme cold.

In a matter of seconds, the ice crystals beneath the feet of the dozens of disciples behind Ling Zhihong began to spread rapidly. They screamed in terror, but their voices were quickly swallowed by the ice crystals, turning into piercing wails. Under the attack of the extreme cold, these disciples' bodies quickly froze, eventually turning into a pile of ice fragments, which fell to the icy ground with a crisp and piercing sound.

Seeing the situation was dire, Ling Zhihong decisively lifted the young man by the back of his collar and pulled him into the air. Simultaneously, his own circular earthen fortress quickly rose and hovered in mid-air. Within the fortress, spiritual energy flowed, forming a solid barrier to resist the spreading cold.

Although Ling Zhihong was tempted to retreat, he refused to give up. He knew the preciousness of the Phoenix and its importance to his family. Therefore, he decided to give it one more try, hoping to find a way to break through the icy barrier.

Outside, Murong Cheng, Zhang Zeye, and Xiang Yan, three meters away from them, couldn't help swallowing when they saw this scene.

An unprecedented sense of fear surged in their hearts, as if they were enveloped by an invisible force. They began to realize that the ice cover within the purple bamboo forest was not as simple as they had previously imagined, but contained a terrifying and suffocating power.

An indescribable sense of horror welled up in Xiang Yan's heart. He exclaimed, "The cultivator inside is so powerful, it's beyond imagination." Recalling the scene where the Ling family cultivator was instantly frozen into ice chips, he felt deeply fortunate.

Fortunately, Master sent a message to him in time, allowing him to prepare. This level of cultivation is probably far beyond that of his own Master."

Murong Cheng nervously sent a message to Zhang Zeye, "Brother-in-law, I think the one undergoing the tribulation here isn't the mythical phoenix, but a powerful cultivator. This power is simply terrifying."

Zhang Zeye frowned and pondered, "Indeed, this power is extraordinary. However, could it be a master of the demon clan? After all, among the demon clan, there are also beings who can transform into humans and cultivate to a high level."

The two communicated with each other through voice communication, their faces filled with solemnity and fear, feeling both anticipation and fear for what was about to happen.
