As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The strong light gradually faded away like the tide, and everything inside the stone gate gradually became clear.

In the center of the light, a figure gradually emerged. It was a woman with a light figure, as if condensed from moonlight. She was wearing a plain white gauze dress and her long hair was as black as ink, fluttering in the dim light, ethereal and mysterious.

Her appearance seemed to inject a touch of ethereal fairy spirit into this silent space.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan couldn't help but tense up. They stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the figure.

Ding Chen clenched his fists slightly, with a hint of vigilance on his resolute face, like a lion ready to pounce.

Xiaoxuan pursed her lips tightly, her bright eyes flashing with sharp light, and she was always ready to deal with emergencies.

Youruo narrowed her eyes curiously. She covered her injured shoulder with one hand and tightly grasped the flute with the other. Her originally cold eyes were now full of inquiry.

Elder Gu's slightly cloudy eyes were now wide open. He stared at the figure, his wrinkled face full of disbelief and even a hint of inexplicable expectation.

"Who disturbed my peace?" The figure spoke, his voice was cold, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

She slowly raised her head, revealing a delicate face with skin as white as snow and features as picturesque as a painting, but there was a hint of indifference and anger in her eyes, as if their appearance had broken the balance she had carefully guarded.

"This is my territory. This space contains secrets that I guard. You have trespassed here without permission and your crime is unforgivable!" Yingyue's tone was stern, with a hint of displeasure. She was like a disturbed bird, exuding a dangerous aura.

Seeing this, Ding Chen quickly stepped forward and said in a sincere and firm tone, "Miss, we didn't mean to break in. We just stumbled here by mistake. We have no ill intentions. Please forgive us."

Xiaoxuan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Ding Chen's statement. She also felt the powerful aura emanating from the other party and knew that this was not the time to show off.

After listening to Ding Chen's explanation, Yingyue's anger did not subside. She smiled coldly with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Accidentally? Haha, how ridiculous! Not everyone can come to this space. Since you are here, don't think about leaving easily!" After that, she waved her sleeves lightly, and a cold breath blew in her face, and the air seemed to have condensed into ice.

The biting cold came like a tide, and the air was filled with ice fragments, as if countless tiny ice needles were piercing the skin, bringing waves of piercing pain.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan were instantly enveloped by the cold air. Their bodies began to become stiff, their hands and feet became numb, and breathing became difficult.

Ding Chen's teeth were chattering from the cold, and the breath he exhaled instantly condensed into white mist. He held Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, wanting to give her some warmth.

Xiaoxuan's face was pale, her lips were purple, and her body was trembling slightly, but she still endured the discomfort and stared at Yingyue firmly.

Youruo stood aside, watching all this coldly, with a sneer on her lips, as if she was enjoying their pain.

Suddenly, a stone emitting warm light appeared in Xiaoxuan's hand. This stone was obtained by her in a strange adventure before and had the magical effect of resisting the cold.

The warm stone emitted bursts of heat, dispelling the surrounding cold air and forming a warm barrier to protect Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan.

Ding Chen looked at the warm stone in Xiaoxuan's hand in surprise.

When Yingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but show an expression of surprise. She didn't expect that these two people could withstand her cold attack.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and then a ball of even more powerful cold air condensed in her hands...

Yingyue sneered, and the coldness in her hand suddenly increased, roaring out like a giant frost dragon, rushing straight towards Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan.

The light of the warm stone grew dimmer, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and tiny ice crystals formed on Ding Chen's eyebrows and hair.

Ding Chen gritted his teeth, protected Xiaoxuan behind him, and then rushed towards Yingyue desperately, trying to interrupt her spell.

Yingyue smiled contemptuously, flicked her fingers, and several sharp ice spikes appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Ding Chen with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The ice spikes emitted a cold light, like a venomous snake hunting, fast and deadly.

Ding Chen dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding several ice spikes, but one of them still cut his arm, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.

He groaned, staggered and almost fell.

"Ding Chen!" Xiaoxuan exclaimed.

Xiaoxuan looked around anxiously, her eyes falling on some scattered herbs on the ground.

An idea suddenly occurred to her and she immediately thought of a solution.

She quickly gathered some herbs, rubbed them together with her hands, and smeared the juice on the ground around her. Then she muttered something, as if performing some secret technique.

As Xiaoxuan moved, the surrounding magnetic field began to change, and a strange energy fluctuation filled the air.

Yingyue suddenly felt that her strength was suppressed, and the flow of cold air in her body became stagnant.

Her face changed and she looked at Xiaoxuan in disbelief.

At this moment, Xiaoxuan completed the final step, the surrounding magnetic field changed drastically, and Yingyue's coldness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She was hit back, groaned in pain, and staggered backwards.

Seeing this, Ding Chen immediately seized the opportunity, rushed forward and firmly controlled Yingyue.

Yingyue fell to the ground in a mess, her face full of fear and anger. She never thought that she would be defeated by these two seemingly weak humans.

"Miss Xiaoxuan, what a brilliant idea!" Elder Gu clapped his hands in praise.

After Yingyue was controlled by Ding Chen, she struggled to raise her head and said in a cold tone: "Do you think you have won like this? Foolish! There is a huge treasure hidden in this space, but there are also more powerful guardians. You will regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "What treasure? What guardian?"

Yingyue sneered and did not answer, but turned his gaze to a direction deep in the space.

"Follow me..." Yingyue's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
