Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Fengling Snow Mountain (10)
With Su Xingqiao joining them, they no longer had any worries, and their hearts felt much lighter. The previous tension and concern had mostly dissipated.
Lian Xichen specifically explained the tasks to be done to Su Xingqiao. He had previously been concerned about the Ghost Ancestor’s quirky nature and how impatient he could be with such tasks. He had been thick-skinned enough to consider asking Su Yaogeng to look after things. Unexpectedly, with Su Xingqiao here, things had indeed become much easier.
Both had been generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years. Although there was a considerable age gap, they had a lot in common. Many of Lian Xichen’s views greatly benefited Su Xingqiao, and over the course of one dinner, they became close friends. Thinking that Jing’er called Lian Xichen ’big brother’, Su Xingqiao shamelessly also called him ’big brother’, completely ignoring that Lian Xichen and Su Yu were of the same generation.
Han Jing laughed at Su Yu for a long time, yet Su Yu didn’t mind. After all, the seniority in the entire Spirit Cultivation Realm was already in disarray, so there was no need to precisely distinguish it among themselves.
Xiao Xue indeed went to ask Su Yaogeng about the issue of seniority. Su Yaogeng explained everyone’s relationships to her one by one. The final conclusion was that her father was still her father, and her uncle was still her uncle.
Xiao Xue was baffled and burrowed into Brother Lianwu’s embrace, muttering, "Luckily, Brother Lianwu is just a brother."
Because she had to call Jiangnan, who was just a few years older than her, ’uncle’, the little girl was slightly displeased.

Early the next morning, everyone prepared and set out for Fengling Snow Mountain.
Fengling Snow Mountain is located in the northwest of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, not far from the Spirit Flame Sect, which is originally in the west of the realm. However, because the west is mostly open mountainous terrain, it took them three days to reach Fengling Snow Mountain.
Fengling Snow Mountain is the mountain range on the far northwest edge of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, adjacent to the Spirit Sea. Beyond the Spirit Sea is the border of Western Qi Country, and further west, beyond Western Qi Country, is the wasteland, which leads into the deserts of the Western Regions.
The Illusion Sea is to the south of Fengling Snow Mountain and is considered a body of water within the Spirit Sea.
However, initially intending to go to the Illusion Sea after returning from the Xia Clan, Han Jing and the others had to temporarily go to Fengling Snow Mountain first. If they could successfully find An Chuxue and the others, they could then proceed to the Delusion Void Array with peace of mind. Because if what Xia Qingcheng said were true, that there is no exit from the Delusion Void Array, they wouldn’t know when they could come out.
With Han Siqu leading the way, they quickly found the cliff at the snow peak with battle traces that Han Siqu had mentioned. The barrier that Han Siqu mentioned was located below the cliff.
Han Jing and the others carefully observed the top of the snow peak. Indeed, as Han Siqu said, beneath the cover of snow, there were severe traces of battle, and it had been some time since it happened. An Chuxue’s weapon happened to have fallen there, making it very likely that they had indeed fallen down.
"Everything Father said was correct. The only clues we could find are these old traces. There is no way to confirm whether they were really taken below or taken elsewhere. Let’s stick to our previous plan and split up. We’ll regroup here in seven days if possible," Han Jing said as she looked at everyone. With no other discoveries, they could only follow the original plan.
