I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan woke up instantly, and his fingertips quietly pressed on the hilt of the Liuyun soft sword.

The sword body glowed with a cool silver light under the moonlight. It looked flexible at ordinary times, but now it was sharp.

After another look, it turned out that Zhao Hu was unreliable.

He was supposed to keep watch for the second half of the night, but he actually fell asleep!

Zhao Hu was awakened by Mingchuan. He opened his eyes suddenly and was about to speak when Mingchuan silenced him with a gesture.

He used his spiritual sense to talk to Zhao Hu: "Don't make any noise, keep your voice down. Or you can just pretend to snore."

Guan Guan nodded quickly and covered his mouth with both hands.

Mingchuan continued to focus his auxiliary energy in the front.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. It was not the sound of footsteps, but more like the sound of something moving under the crack of the door!

Mingchuan gestured to Zhao Hu to look towards the door. With the moonlight coming through the window, the two of them vaguely saw a wisp of light black mist seeping in from the crack of the door!

After the mist fell to the ground, it crawled towards the fox fur coat in the corner like a living thing.

The moment it touched the jacket, it was sucked into the black thread of the lining, leaving no trace.

Zhao Hu's eyes widened, and he used his spiritual sense to ask Mingchuan, "What the hell is this?"

Before Mingchuan could answer, there was a sudden "click" sound outside the door.

Someone is picking the lock!

He immediately pulled Zhao Hu behind the door, tightly gripped the Liuyun soft sword, and quietly injected spiritual power into the sword.

The originally flexible sword body was instantly stretched straight by the spiritual power, emitting a cold light!

The moment the door lock was pried open, a black shadow flashed in quickly, holding a black pottery jar in his hand.

Just as he was about to pour something into the room, Mingchuan put a sword to his throat.

"Don't move!" Mingchuan's voice was as cold as ice. "Tell me, what do you want to do? What is that black fog?"

The black shadow was so frightened that his entire body was shaking, and the clay pot in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The black powder inside was scattered all over the floor, and it was exactly the same as the Erosion Powder at the bottom of Wang Laosan’s wine pot!

"I... I was just ordered to place the spirit-attracting powder. I don't know anything else!" The black shadow said tremblingly, "Grandma Bing asked us to do this. She said that the spiritual power of the foreign cultivators is pure and suitable as spirit bait!"

"Ice Granny? Spiritual bait?" Zhao Hu stepped forward and grabbed the black figure by the collar. "Speak clearly! What is Ice Granny? What is the spiritual bait used to feed?"

The black shadow was so scared that he almost cried. He could clearly feel that he was no match for these two people. If he dared to resist, death would be waiting for him.

He quickly recounted everything he knew: "Grandma Bing is the overlord of this Arctic ice field, living deep in the Frost Crystal Valley! She raises an ice-eroding beast that needs the spiritual energy of cultivators to nourish it. We...we're just helping her find spiritual bait, otherwise she'll kill everyone in our town!"

Mingchuan's heart sank.

Cold Crystal Valley!

Exactly where they were going!

No wonder I couldn’t find the way. It turned out that I was controlled by this ice-cold grandma.

He continued to ask, "What about the fox fur coat and the soul-eroding powder?"

"The fox fur coat is made of the hair of the ice thorn beast, which can absorb the spiritual power of the monks. The spiritual powder is used to make the spiritual power of the monks stagnate, making it easier to catch them later..." Before the black shadow finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

During this time, the old woman was also shouting: "Useless! You can't even do such a small thing!"

Mingchuan's eyes flashed, and he winked at Zhao Hu, and the two of them attacked at the same time.

Mingchuan kicked the black shadow into the corner, and Zhao Hu swung his knife towards the door!

A blazing blade struck the old woman who rushed in, but was blocked by the ice shield in front of her, leaving only a shallow mark!

Mingchuan and Zhao Hu were both stunned when they saw this scene!

They didn't expect that the old woman's reaction would be so quick!

"These two little kids are quite capable!" the old woman sneered.

And this person is none other than the Ice Granny mentioned by the black shadow!

She held an ice staff in her hand, the top of which was inlaid with a dark blue crystal. "Since you've come to my door, don't even think about leaving! It's perfect as a snack for my Ice Thorn Beast!"

Zhao Hu looked at this scene and his face suddenly fell. "Fuck you, you old woman, so arrogant!? And you think I'm a snack? Fuck you!"

After hearing what Zhao Hu said, Granny Bing's face darkened instantly: "Damn you little brat, how dare you call me a damn old woman!"

She trembled twice in anger, waved her ice staff, and several ice spikes shot towards Mingchuan and Zhao Hu.

Mingchuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled Zhao Hu to the side to avoid it.

At the same time, he pushed the Liuyun soft sword forward, and the sword body drew a silver arc in the air, piercing directly into the ice shield of Grandma Bing!

With a "crack", the ice shield actually cracked!

Grandma Bing's expression turned very ugly again.

She didn't expect that this seemingly soft sword could have such strong penetrating power.

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and it seemed like smoke was coming out of her body: "Okay, okay, you guys actually dared to go against me, and I will kill you today!"

"Everyone behind, come at me together!"

Grandma Bing shouted, and suddenly more than a dozen men in animal skin coats rushed in from outside the door.

These people were none other than Wang Laosan and the others who were in the lobby of the inn before. They were holding knives dipped in spirit-eroding powder in their hands and surrounded the two men!

Wang Laosan chuckled and said to Mingchuan, "Brother, nice to see you again. You didn't want to be with us during the day, but now it seems you have to stay with us..."

"Bah! You bunch of beasts, who wants to be tied to you?!" Zhao Hu immediately summoned his fire spiritual power and created a flame shield around the two of them.

At the same time, he said to Mingchuan quickly: "Junior brother, you deal with that old woman, and leave these minions to me!"

As he said this, he rushed into the crowd with a knife in hand.

The scorching sword energy forced the men to retreat again and again. Anyone who was touched by the sword energy would have their animal skin coats ignite in flames!

The group of people were immediately frightened and dodged.

"I'm sorry, old lady. I was a little harsh. Please bear with me for a while."

Mingchuan curled his lips and smiled. He stared at Grandma Bing, and the Liuyun Soft Sword moved flexibly in his hand!

The silver light on the sword can always accurately avoid the attacks of the ice staff, and from time to time it can also leave traces on the ice armor of the Ice Granny!

Granny Bing was horrified when she saw this scene.

She took two steps back in succession, and for a moment she seemed to be at a disadvantage!

Although her ice-based skills are powerful, Mingchuan's swordsmanship is agile and can dissolve her strength through the flexibility of the sword.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, Granny Bing gradually became exhausted, and the crystal on the top of her staff also dimmed a little.

She was panting and staring at Mingchuan: "You...you have no moral principles!"

Mingchuan was amused: "Who on earth is lacking in martial ethics? Besides, do you guys have any morals at all?"
