Chapter 811: Chapter 810: The Death of Ye Qingchen?
Taotian Palace!
Celestial Moon Peak, one of the seven peaks, holds a prestigious position. Every disciple who enters Celestial Moon Peak is one of the elite disciples of Taotian Palace! The one presiding over this Celestial Moon Peak is none other than Ye Xu Kong, one of the seven Supreme Elders!
In a palace at the highest point of Celestial Moon Peak.
Ye Xu Kong was sitting cross-legged within.
Suddenly.
In front of her, a burst of light suddenly appeared. Amidst the dazzling light, a figure emerged. If Ye Qingchen were here, he would surely recognize that this figure was indeed the broad-sleeved man.
"Ye Xu Kong, why didn’t you tell me that that brat Ye Qingchen had a magic artifact capable of striking down an Earth Immortal?" As soon as the broad-sleeved man appeared, he angrily rebuked, "Do you know that I almost perished at his hands!"
"Luo Yunfei, who permitted you to speak to me like this?"
Ye Xu Kong suddenly opened her eyes.
Crack!
In an instant, it seemed as if lightning flashed through the void, causing it to tremble violently. A circular wave of energy surged from her body, rolling and crushing towards all directions.
The broad-sleeved man named Luo Yunfei had a changing expression, seemingly now realizing the gap between them, and deeply lowered his head.
"Is Ye Qingchen dead?"
Ye Xu Kong said coldly.
"He’s dead!" Luo Yunfei snorted coldly, mocking, "I lured him to Ice Crystal Lake, drew in the cold wave, and swallowed him whole. I estimate his body is long gone by now!"
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy finally showed in Ye Xu Kong’s eyes.
"I have a question. From the moment that brat agreed to a life-or-death duel with Ye Xuan, he was destined for a slim chance of survival. Why did you still want me to kill him?" Luo Yunfei frowned.
"What do you understand?"
Ye Xu Kong sneered and, under the other’s puzzled gaze, said calmly:
"This child’s talent is exceedingly rare in my life; if he does not die, I cannot rest easy! Earlier, when I sent him to the Valley of Life and Death, I thought it would be impossible for him to transcend in this life, but as a result, he emerged in only three months!"
"Such an existence, if allowed to grow, will only become a major threat!"
Luo Yunfei was momentarily stalled.
He recalled the previous scene of Ye Qingchen killing Yu Zhenhai in the Earth Immortal Tomb and relentlessly pursuing himself to Ice Crystal Lake, this kind of existence is indeed terrifying! If allowed to step into Earth Immortal, I’m afraid not many in Taotian Palace could suppress him.
But then.
Luo Yunfei sneered and said:
"However, a dead genius is no longer worthy of being called a genius!"
Ye Xu Kong smiled faintly, saying nothing.
...
"This is Ice Crystal Lake!"
Although.
Ye Qingchen had already let Han Buxiu and Zheng Jiuling return to Taotian Palace first, yet how could they be willing? They pursued all the way here. Although Ye Qingchen and Luo Yunfei were fast, their momentum along the way was too strong, directly tracing them to Ice Crystal Lake.
"This is Ice Crystal Lake, you can’t enter..."
Without waiting for Zheng Jiuling to stop him, Han Buxiu had already charged in on the spot.
Han Buxiu, unconvinced by evil, risked his life to charge in, but within less than a stick of incense’s time, had no choice but to retreat.
Upon looking, he was almost entirely covered with a layer of frost, and even his blood seemed to have frozen, "This is not ordinary white fog, it is the most terrifying cold wave. If a mere Human Immortal enters, they would probably instantly freeze to death!"
"This is a big problem now!"
Tang Yue was full of worry.
Ice Crystal Lake stretches over a thousand miles, a famous forbidden land in the Extreme North. Additionally, its terrain is complex, with continuous mountains and waters, combined with the sky-covering cold fog, it’s almost like forming a natural gigantic maze.
Once trapped inside, there’s no escaping.
Nevertheless, everyone still held a sliver of hope, thinking that Ye Qingchen and others might not have entered Ice Crystal Lake. But soon, this sliver of hope was completely shattered, as they found a survivor who witnessed the two’s battle outside.
"Bring him up and find out clearly!" Tang Yue said.
Soon.
The survivor was brought up. This person was also a Human Immortal, originally looking very strong, but now had become skin and bones, shivering endlessly even with a warming array.
According to the Tang family disciple, they found this man on a battlefield, discovered with half of his body frozen into a statue. If they were a moment later, the person might have frozen to death on the spot.
"What happened outside Ice Crystal Lake, did you see two people charging in?" Han Buxiu asked urgently.
"I saw..." The man shivered at the words. "These two, one dressed in green with silver hair, the other was a broad-sleeved man, they flew directly from the horizon."
Everyone was shocked to hear.
Isn’t that exactly Ye Qingchen and Luo Yunfei?
The man used some True Qi, striving to dispel the cold within his body, then continued:
"Later, these two fought above Ice Crystal Lake, the Earth Immortal invoked the entire cold wave of the lake, the cold wave spanned hundreds of miles, freezing everything within range, I escaped only because I was far away!"
However, he seemed to guess the concern of everyone and quickly said:
"After the cold wave passed, the young man in green and silver hair was completely gone, either bones vanished beneath the cold wave, or he was drawn into the Ice Crystal Lake!"
Saying this, fear flashed in the man’s eyes.
Evidently.
The previous scene was too perilous and terrifying.
Looking at the man still terrified, several people’s hearts sank. Tang Mei’Er’s face changed dramatically, stumbling backward a few steps. She couldn’t believe from beginning to end, that Ye Qingchen had fallen just like that!
Han Buxiu stared intently at Ice Crystal Lake, suddenly, without saying a word, he turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Zheng Jiuling quickly asked.
"Back to Taotian Palace!" Han Buxiu didn’t turn his head and said, "I already guessed who is behind this! They did it just to kill Mr. Ye, to prevent him from returning to Taotian Palace and participating in the life-or-death battle three months later!"
"Since that’s the case, I will substitute for Mr. Ye, fulfilling his unfinished wish! This return to Taotian Palace will be life or death! Zheng Jiuling, you should leave..."
Before the words were finished, Han Buxiu had disappeared into the vast world, Zheng Jiuling stood where he was, hesitating whether he should leave, only to see the Three-tailed Fox already swept from one side, chasing after Han Buxiu.
"Am I even worse than an animal?"
Zheng Jiuling stamped his foot and immediately ran after them.
"Dad, do you think Mr. Ye is still alive?" Tang Mei’Er looked at Han Buxiu, Zheng Jiuling, and the Three-tailed Fox, who had already left, and her gaze fell again on the endless Ice Crystal Lake.
"The cold wave of this Ice Crystal Lake is vast, and it was also drawn by an Earth Immortal. Even if Mr. Ye escaped the cold wave attack, if he was drawn into Ice Crystal Lake..."
Tang Yue didn’t finish the sentence.
But everyone understood what he meant.
Tang Mei’Er finally sighed and turned away.
The bustling Ice Crystal Lake returned to silence once more, as if nothing ever happened. Yet no one knew, in the depths of Ice Crystal Lake, on a certain small island, an explosion suddenly erupted, and a figure soared into the sky!
