Hearing this, everyone recovered their senses and were much more energized, as they raised their heads and looked up.

However, the place in front was filled with snow, and it didn’t seem much different from other places.

Elder Hua Feng quickly realized this, and the smile on his face froze momentarily.

He lowered his head to take a look again.

The star on the green jade plaque was indeed nearby. It shouldn’t be wrong this time.

“Elder, if Elder Bo Yan and the rest are really in front, they should’ve detected our arrival by now, right? Why… haven’t they come out yet?”

Shi Rui’er and the rest also followed them over. Although her breathing was slightly weak, she had basically recovered.

“Stay here first. I’ll go take a look.” As he spoke, Elder Hua Feng went forward first.

Two other elders followed him.

Elder Hua Feng originally wanted to reject them but chose to go forward with them in the end.

After walking for a distance, the trio stood still and stared at the large piece of empty land that suddenly appeared in front of them in shock.

That’s right—it was a piece of empty land!

In this piece of land, the accumulated snow melted. There wasn’t a single snowflake on the black surface.

Even the snow falling from the sky seemed to intentionally avoid this area and landed on the side. There seemed to be an invisible barrier which surrounded this piece of land.

“Bo Yan should be here… Why don’t I see him?” Elder Hua Feng knitted his brows and softly muttered.

Is it still the same as before—

That’s not right! Suddenly, a thought struck him, and an idea quickly flashed across his mind! “They’re below!”

The other two elders—who were initially confused—were taken aback when they heard this. “What?!”

Elder Hua Feng stared at that empty piece of land closely. He could even faintly feel some auras and forces tumbling!

“Elder, what’s wrong?” The people behind saw that they were standing there for a long time without moving. Afraid that something had happened, they hurriedly rushed over.

When they saw the scene before their eyes, they lost their voices in unison.

“This…” Shi Rui’er looked at Elder Hua Feng with some uncertainty. “Elder, are Elder Bo Yan and the rest really here?”

Elder Hua Feng took a deep breath in. “I’m afraid… they’re below!”

Shi Rui’er’s eyes shrunk. “That can’t be right? How can there be something below—”

“Hua Feng is right.” Elder Dan Qing, who was silent the whole way, suddenly spoke. “When we met with trouble previously, those people did suddenly rush out from below—”

Boom!

The ground suddenly shook violently! Then, countless rays of light intertwined above the originally empty land!

In the blink of an eye, they formed a gigantic Xuan formation!

Countless figures flew out from within! They went straight for Elder Hua Feng and the others!

These people were similar to those that appeared earlier. They were all covered in black robes and had black cloth covering their faces, so one couldn’t see what they looked like.

“Those who trespass the prison will die!”

Elder Hua Feng’s heart sank.

It seemed like they had found the other party’s territory! But at the same time, he also confirmed that Bo Yan and the rest were all locked up below!

“Kill!” Elder Hua Feng waved his hands, and a gigantic Xuan formation rapidly appeared!

The other elders immediately took action!

There weren’t many of these people clothed in black—only six of them.

Compared to the tens of people from Ling Xiao Academy and Flying Star Sect, they didn’t have the advantage. But the key was that Elder Hua Feng and the others had journeyed for a long time, and they didn’t even have much force left, not to mention that many people were injured in between.

On the other hand, although the other party had few people, they were all energized and strong!

In such circumstances, the two parties quickly fell into a stalemate.

But Elder Hua Feng and the rest knew very clearly that this would not do. The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for them!

As the crowd gradually went toward the losing end, a deep and loud roar was suddenly heard from the skies!

Roar! 

This voice contained a formidable aura that instantly attracted the crowd’s attention!

Everyone looked up.

A totally snow-white figure broke through the clouds! In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed to them from the horizon.

That was a white lion. Its fur was like snow, and its pair of ice-blue eyes were like the best sapphires—cold and mighty!

It looked formidable!

Its surroundings contained stunning coldness. Wherever it went, a long icy bridge would be left behind in midair!

When Elder Hua Feng and the rest saw this, they were shocked and elated. “It’s Little Xue Hua!”

Xue Xue’s originally ferocious expression almost collapsed. Its paws slipped, and it directly flew toward the men in black.

But luckily, it was mentally much stronger than before, so it quickly collected its feelings and directly struck at the men in black.

A fiend’s combat power was much greater that of humans at the same cultivation level—not to mention Xue Xue, who had just gone through intensified training.

Xue Xue directly slapped one and caused him to fly with its claws. With the whip of its lion head, another one was pushed away.

The sound of bones breaking was especially melodious at this point.

The situation changed instantly!

Shi Rui’er heaved a sigh of relief, and her lips couldn’t help but curl up. “It seems like Rong Xiu is here!”

The others had clearly realized this, and they all had more relaxed expressions.

Elder Hua Feng glanced at the two elders at the side. “Stay here and observe first. I’ll go over there and solve the Xuan formation!”

“Okay!”

…

Underground.

It was an intense battle!

The golden and black fires flew out and formed a figure in front of Rong Xiu respectively.

The apparition looked exactly the same as Rong Xiu.

“Two Holy Bodies?!”

The two Holy Bodies that suddenly appeared clearly caused the man in the mirror to be taken aback. In the entire world, I have never seen someone who cab cultivate two holy bodies at once! How exactly did Rong Xiu do it? 

Before he could think about it properly, the few figures were in a heated battle.

“With the Holy Body out of the way, I want to see if you yourself can stop me!” As he spoke, a few blood whips flew out and went straight for Rong Xiu!

Without the Holy Body protecting him, Rong Xiu is basically weak! As long as I hit him—

Slap!

A gigantic red-gold figure blocked in front of Rong Xiu! It was Tuan Zi!

It spread its wings and almost took up half the space here!

That blood whip flew out and directly crushed one of its wings!

Rumble!

A red-golden fire spread across! The entire space instantly became an ocean of fire!

The stairs started to collapse!

Mu Qinghe was still kneeling on the ground.

When the fire came over, the metal chains on his hands and legs instantly turned burning red! The scorching hot temperature caused his skin near his wrists and ankles to be instantly burned!

Terrifying pain instantly overwhelmed his entire body!

At this point, Rong Xiu glanced over. His fingers moved slightly, and a golden string flew out.

Mu Qinghe looked over and saw this extremely faint golden light flashing before him. As long as he took a step forward, he could break his chains.

He closed his eyes. Due to the pain, the veins on his forehead could be seen.

Then, he took a step back and avoided it.
