Chapter 330: Chapter 229: Cultivation World 19
On the vast and boundless ice plain, the air was thick with a bloody scent and the pungent waves of demonic power.
A demon bird shrieked, diving down from the sky, heading towards Man Qi.
Man Qi remained unflustered, muttering incantations as flames burst forth, forming a firewall to block the demon bird’s attack.
The demon bird flapped its wings vigorously, trying to break through the firewall, but the flames were too intense, scorching its feathers black, eliciting cries of pain.
Seizing the opportunity, Man Qi launched a massive fireball at the demon bird. The bird couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by the fireball, plummeting from the sky and hitting the ground, sending up a mist of ice.
Elsewhere, an ice giant snake was spewing ice flames, surrounding Man Shi and Man Zhan.
Man Zhan transformed his demonic power into an arrow and shot it at the ice giant snake. The arrow streaked through the sky like a meteor, hitting the ice giant snake’s eye.
The ice giant snake roared in agony, its body twisting violently, and the ice flames extinguished.
Taking advantage of the moment, Man Shi attacked the body of the ice giant snake with his weapon. Though powerful, the ice giant snake was gradually overwhelmed by the combined assault of Man Zhan and Man Shi, eventually collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Si Lingle cast spell after spell, attacking an ice-type barbarian beast and a demon bird.
The barbarian beast charged at Si Lingle with its horns, while the demon bird swooped down from above, aiming its claws at her back.
Si Lingle quickly turned around, using her Magic Treasure to block the barbarian beast’s attack, simultaneously dodging the demon bird’s claws with a swift sidestep.
Yet, as she was distracted defending against the barbarian beast, the demon bird took the opportunity to strike again, its claws wounding Si Lingle’s shoulder.
Si Lingle couldn’t use her Lifebound Weapon; among the Demon Clan, those who used swords were rare.
Most used spells.
Si Lingle gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and suddenly gathered her strength, casting a Thunder Skill directly at the demon bird’s wing.
The demon bird, injured, lost its balance and fell from the sky.
The barbarian beast, seeing this, roared in fury, charging at Si Lingle even more ferociously.
Si Lingle nimbly dodged, pulling out a talisman and throwing it at the barbarian beast.
With a loud "boom," the barbarian beast was blasted away by the talisman.
Si Lingle activated her Divine Sense, using it to tangle and severely wound the barbarian beast and the demon bird.
Yet, more and more demon birds continued to fly towards them.
And their encounter with these demon birds and barbarian beasts began three days ago.
Si Lingle and the others had roamed the ice plain for more than half a month when they discovered a patch of Heavenly Profound Ice Flowers over five hundred years old.
Gathering the Heavenly Profound Ice Flowers, they inadvertently provoked the demon birds and barbarian beasts.
This patch of Heavenly Profound Ice Flowers was under their protection.
Having taken their Heavenly Profound Ice Flowers, how could they not be attacked?
Over two hours later, the demon birds and barbarian beasts finally retreated.
Man Qi and Man Shi sustained some injuries, but nothing too serious.
They found a place to rest.
After taking an elixir, Si Lingle’s injuries were almost healed.
After adjusting their breaths for two hours, they set off again.
In the days that followed, they discovered Thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Milk. Knowing that Man Zhan and the others needed it, Si Lingle refrained from dividing the Ice Spirit Milk, asking them to exchange it for other items.
They used the Heavenly Profound Ice Flowers to exchange for Si Lingle’s share of the Thousand-year-old Ice Spirit Milk.
Once they left the ice plain, Si Lingle parted ways with Man Zhan and the others, continuing her practice in the Secret Realm.
Before they knew it, the time for the Secret Realm’s closure had arrived, and Si Lingle left the Secret Realm.
Upon exiting the Secret Realm, Si Lingle returned to the Nine-tailed Cat Demon Clan.
Several Venerables of the Nine-tailed Cat Demon Clan, upon seeing Jiu Jiu, were astonished.
"Yun Hua, this is..." Lianyu Demon Venerable asked, looking at Jiu Jiu.
Si Lingle recounted the events of finding Jiu Jiu.
"I never expected that our Nine-tailed Cat Demon Clan would have a sealed one," Lianyu Demon Venerable quickly communicated with the other Venerables.
After waiting a while, several other Venerables arrived.
"There is no record in the clan of a sealed Nine-tailed Cat Demon," Tianye Demon Venerable remarked.
Tianye Venerable, with a Tribulation Crossing Cultivation, was the eldest elder of the Nine-tailed Cat Demon Clan.
If they had known of a sealed young kinsman, they would certainly have attempted a rescue, rather than waiting until now.
This Demon Venerable circled Jiu Jiu, asking how much it remembered and if it recalled who had sealed it.
"Annoying," Jiu Jiu suddenly spoke.
Si Lingle looked at Jiu Jiu in shock, "Jiu Jiu, you can talk!"
For over four years, it hadn’t spoken a word.
Si Lingle hadn’t considered that Jiu Jiu, having reached the Out-of-Body Stage, would certainly be able to speak.
However, it momentarily slipped her mind.
Tianye Venerable communicated this to Si Lingle, who then led Jiu Jiu to the place for bloodline testing.
