“Young Master Xinlan,” Lu Lingxi’s gaze fell on Xinlan Yunge, her voice cold, “I remember you said before that you had another purpose for this trip. Now that the Ice Beast is dead, shouldn’t you explain?”

Xin Lanyunge's gaze fell on the deep pit ahead, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "What I am looking for is the 'Frost Holy Scripture' left behind by the Ice Spirit Clan."

Xiao Jiu leaped down from his shoulder, transforming into a white-robed youth. With a solemn expression, he added, "The Frost Holy Scripture records the most powerful techniques of the Ice Spirit Clan. It is said that it also contains a shocking secret: the ancestors of the Xinlan Clan had a deep connection with the Ice Spirit Clan, and this secret is related to the fate of the entire Frost Continent."

Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, her cold gaze fixed on Xin Lanyunge, her voice tinged with doubt: "So, you deliberately entered the Ice Spirit Clan's territory to attract their attention, and all of this was meticulously planned by you? You knew that the Ice Spirit Clan was greedy by nature and would use us for their own benefit, ultimately leading us here, and your real purpose was nothing more than to find the whereabouts of the Frost Holy Scripture?"

“That’s right.” Xin Lanyunge readily admitted, “Although those people are descendants of the Ice Spirit Clan, they have long since fallen and only know how to fight for power and profit. They often mention the Ice Holy Scripture, but they do not know its true value. Now that the guardian beast is dead and the restriction on this frozen canyon has been broken, the Ice Holy Scripture must be nearby.”

Nalan Rongzhi sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm: "You've certainly got a good plan."

Just then, two eerie blue lights, like will-o'-the-wisps, lit up the canyon, illuminating the entire canyon. Wherever the light reached, a hidden pattern appeared faintly.

Upon seeing this, Xin Lanyunge's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she immediately stepped forward, injecting a wisp of pure spiritual power into the patterns.

"Kakaka..."

A sound of a mechanism turning came from deep underground, and a hidden compartment slowly rose up. Inside the compartment lay a crystal-clear ancient book, the legendary Ice Scripture.

Lu Lingxi Yao's gaze fell on Xin Lanyun Ge. Seeing that he had already put the ancient book into his pocket, she understood. She parted her red lips slightly, her voice as clear and cold as an ice spring.

"Young Master Xinlan, now that you have achieved one of your goals, shouldn't you lead us to the summit of the Frozen Throne?"

Xin Lanyunge nodded slightly, raised her right hand, pointed to the ice peak that pierced the clouds in front of her, and said, "It's right there, at the top of the Frozen Throne."

The three of them then set off towards the majestic ice peak. The higher they climbed, the lower the temperature became, and the biting wind felt like knives scraping their cheeks.

Nalan Rongzhi noticed that Lu Lingxi's face had turned slightly pale. He frowned, and his demonic energy surged, instantly transforming into an invisible protective shield that enveloped her and shielded her from the harsh cold outside.

"There is a restriction ahead."

Xin Lanyunge suddenly stopped in his tracks. His usually nonchalant eyes were now extremely serious. In the void ahead, countless mysterious runes appeared and disappeared, intertwining into a dense net that exuded a chilling pressure.

Lu Lingxi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and five-colored spiritual energy gathered in her slender palm. She gently raised her hand and slowly pushed out the ball of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy, like silk threads, probed into the runes, trying to break the ancient restriction.

In an instant, the entire restriction seemed to be awakened, bursting out with dazzling light. Countless ice blades appeared out of thin air, extremely sharp and carrying a bone-chilling cold, sweeping towards the three of them with terrifying force.

Nalan Rongzhi shifted slightly, standing horizontally in front of Lu Lingxi Yao. His demonic energy surged around him, instantly transforming into an impregnable barrier that blocked all the incoming ice blades. The sounds of impact were deafening.

With a flick of her folding fan, Xin Lanyun unleashed a sharp burst of energy that shattered the oncoming ice.

With their combined efforts, the three finally broke through the powerful restriction, and a crystal-clear throne appeared before them, shimmering with a dreamlike light.

Around the throne, two crystal-clear plants swayed gently in the cold wind, radiating a holy glow. These were the legendary Pure Lotus and Mystic Ice Snow Lotus.

Just then, a dark blue figure descended from the sky. It was the legendary spirit beast, Ice Soul Snow Spirit. It was surrounded by extremely cold air, and its eyes were like two cold stars, majestic and mysterious.

"I've finally found you." A hint of joy flashed in Xin Lanyun's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Lingxi Yao unleashed her spiritual power, which transformed into countless vines that weaved through the air, their target the Pure World Lotus and the Mysterious Ice Snow Lotus.

However, how could Ice Soul Snow Spirit let her succeed so easily? Its eyes flashed with a cold light, and a series of ice-blue light blades shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Lu Lingxi Yao.

"Watch out!" Nalan Rongzhi shouted, his figure flashing as he arrived in front of Lu Lingxi Yao. A stream of spiritual energy transformed into a rock-solid shield, blocking all the ice blades.

At the same time, Xin Lanyunge flashed and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Binghun Xuepo. The folding fan in his hand was pointed directly at Binghun Xuepo's brow.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ice Soul Snow Spirit's eyes. It didn't expect Xin Lan Yun Ge to dare to take the initiative to attack. It moved to the side and narrowly avoided the attack, but its attack was interrupted as a result.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Lingxi Yao urged the vines to tightly wrap the Pure World Lotus and the Mysterious Ice Snow Lotus. With a strong pull, she uprooted the two spiritual plants and put them into her possession.

"We've succeeded!" A hint of joy flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. With these spiritual plants, Lan Yuan could be saved, and there was also hope that Nalan Rongzhi's demonic poison could be cured.

At this moment, Ice Soul Snow Spirit was completely enraged. It roared to the sky, and the temperature of the entire Frozen Throne plummeted. Countless ice spikes came from all directions, their target being Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi.

Upon seeing this, Xin Lanyunge immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the two of them.

He lightly unfolded his folding fan and with a flick of his wrist, the ice spike shattered instantly. Then, he took out an ancient jade pendant from his pocket.

The eerie blue light emitted by the jade pendant was exactly the same as the chilling aura surrounding Ice Soul Snow Spirit. The moment Ice Soul Snow Spirit caught sight of the jade pendant, a strange look flashed in its eyes, and its attack faltered.

"This is the Ice Soul Jade passed down through generations of my Xinlan clan. Legend has it that it was given to our ancestors by the Ice Soul and Snow Soul in ancient times."

Xin Lanyunge raised the jade pendant, letting it ring out crisply in the cold wind. "My journey here is not only to find you, but also to complete the unfinished business of our ancestors."

Xiao Jiu leaped down from Xin Lan Yun Ge's shoulder, transformed into human form, and made hand seals. Runes appeared in the air, reflecting the light of the Ice Soul Jade. The eyes of the Ice Soul Snow Spirit gradually softened, and it slowly landed in front of Xin Lan Yun Ge, lowering its proud head.

"I see." Lu Lingxi Yao suddenly realized, "You did this to renew the contract between Ice Soul Snow Spirit and Xinlan Clan."

Xin Lanyunge nodded, her hand touching Binghun Xuepo's forehead. A wisp of dark blue light flowed from the Ice Soul Jade and entered Binghun Xuepo's body. In an instant, the entire summit of the Frozen Throne shone brightly, and the ancient contract was re-established at this moment.

"With the approval of Ice Soul and Snow Spirit, my Xinlan Clan can finally regain its ancient glory." A trace of relief flashed in Xinlan Yunge's eyes. He turned to look at Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi, "Thank you both for your help."

Nalan Rongzhi gave a cold laugh, "It's just a matter of each getting what they want." He put his arm around Lu Lingxi's waist, "We should go back."

Lu Lingxi nodded. She had already obtained the Pure World Lotus and the Mystic Ice Snow Lotus, and it was indeed time to set off for her return. Lan Yuan was still waiting for her.

"Young Master Xinlan, until we meet again," Lu Lingxi said calmly.

Xin Lanyunge stroked Binghun Xuepo's head and chuckled, "If fate allows, we will meet again." Xiao Jiu nuzzled against his shoulder and let out a soft cry, as if saying goodbye.

Nalan Rongzhi didn't say much, but just glanced coldly at Xin Lanyunge before turning and leaving with Lu Lingxiyao.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Xin Lanyunge's expression turned solemn. He murmured thoughtfully, "Xiao Jiu, when do you think we'll meet again?" Xiao Jiu trembled slightly on his shoulder, as if in response.
