Chapter 359: The Fierce Ice Phoenix
"Is it Fairy Bingpo?" Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed as he looked at the light and shadow carefully.
She was also an extraordinary woman of her generation, and one of the best among the ascended monks.
After the woman's shadow appeared, she turned around and rushed towards the stone gate under the guidance of the monks of Xiaoji Palace.
After hitting the stone gate, the light and shadow dissipated, and then the light of the restriction on the stone gate began to disappear, and in the blink of an eye, the heavy restrictions disappeared completely.
Master Hanli smiled, took a few steps forward, flicked his sleeves, and pushed open the stone door.
A scene of ice and snow appeared in front of everyone, and a strange chill came over them.
When Master Hanli saw the scene, a look of joy appeared on his face. He stepped forward and gave a few instructions to the group of elders of Xiaoji Palace, and then these elders dispersed one after another.
He turned around and said to everyone, "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. This is actually my first time entering the Void Spirit Hall!"
As he spoke, he led everyone forward and entered the most core secret place of Xiaoji Palace. When everyone went in, the huge stone door closed with a bang.
Not long after, the group appeared at the entrance of a white jade cave that was extremely cold.
The cold air coming from this place made the gray-robed monk and the old woman's faces change drastically after they sensed it. They quickly released a ball of flame flashing with cold light from their bodies to protect themselves.
Seeing their actions, Master Hanli chuckled and said, "This is the Xuanyu Cave. This cave was formed when our sect's founder used his great magical powers to cut off an entire vein of Xuanyu ore and forcibly condensed it into a cave!"
“Although there is only one letter difference between Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade and Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, it is impossible for you Daoists not to know the difference. If you leave this Void Spirit Palace, you will not be able to find a few pieces of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade even if you dig the entire human world!”
There was a hint of pride on Master Hanli's face, while the old woman and the gray-robed monk were both a little shocked.
This ten thousand year old black jade is the best material with ice-cold properties. As long as a small piece is added to a magic weapon, it can immediately greatly increase the power of the magic weapon.
The appearance of this material here immediately made them excited.
Master Hanli took in all the expressions of the two men, but when his gaze fell on Ye Changsheng, he saw that his face was calm, without any change.
Master Hanli was stunned and thought to himself, "This Daoist Fellow Ye really has a high vision. Could it be that he doesn't even care about the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade? This item is something that all those old monsters in the Great Jin Dynasty are very excited about!"
He speculated about Ye Changsheng in his heart, and then said: "No matter whether the three of you can help me succeed this time, I am willing to give each of you a piece of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade!"
Hearing his words, the gray-robed monk and the old woman were immediately overjoyed, but Ye Changsheng remained calm.
This couldn't help but make the few people who were secretly observing him murmur in their hearts.
"Let's go in now. The cold air in the Xuanyu Cave is extremely strong. Everyone must be careful!" After Master Hanli reminded everyone, he led everyone into the cave.
After walking through a cold passage, everyone came to an open area.
The cold here is even more severe. If one were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator who did not practice extremely cold-attributed techniques or had no special means to keep out the cold, he would probably get frostbite here.
In this open area filled with cold air, there appeared several fiery red stone huts. The huts exuded a burning power that resisted the surrounding cold air.
"Sun Essence Stone? Fellow Daoist Hanli, your Xiaoji Palace really has a great deal of money!" The gray-robed monk looked at the stone houses in amazement, his eyes full of shock.
The Sun Essence Stone is a material that is no less effective than the Ten Thousand Year Old Black Jade. There is so much of it here!
"Hehe, this is all the legacy of our ancestors. We, the younger generations, are just sitting back and reaping the benefits!" Master Hanli said with a grin.
"The founder of your sect is truly a master with great supernatural powers!" the gray-robed monk couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Master Hanli and the other three Xiaoji Palace monks felt a little proud. The origin of their Xiaoji Palace was incomparable to that of most sects in Dajin.
"Brother Ye, after this matter is over, I will find a way to take down a few pieces of this Sun Essence Stone and give them to Brother Ye!" Ye Changsheng heard Master Hanli say in his voice transmission.
Ye Changsheng's eyes moved, and he saw that the gray-robed monk and the old woman both had an extremely envious look on their faces, staring straight at the Sun Essence Stone, and it seemed that they had not received any message from Master Hanli at all.
It seems that Master Hanli made the promise to him alone.
Ye Changsheng smiled slightly and sent a voice message: "Thank you very much, Daoist Fellow Hanli!"
Naturally, he would not refuse something that was delivered to his door.
…
Just as Ye Changsheng and others entered the Xuanyu Cave, outside the Xu Ling Palace, the Xiaoji Palace, which had been quiet until now, gradually began to become agitated.
The appearance of more and more monsters made the monks of Xiaoji Palace finally confirm that the attackers this time were not only the monsters from the Wan Yao Valley, but also the level ten ice phoenix in the ice sea and dozens of transformed monsters under its command.
The two parties combined are completely beyond the Xiaoji Palace's ability to contend with. Moreover, according to intelligence, the people coming from the Wan Yao Valley this time are not only the Green-backed Wolf, but also an incarnation of the old demon Che.
Such a powerful lineup almost immediately made the Palace Master of Xiaoji Palace make the decision to lead the core disciples of Xiaoji Palace to retreat into the Xu Ling Palace and avoid the battle!
As something left behind by the founder of Xiaoji Palace, Xu Ling Hall not only has extremely strong restrictions to prevent it from being breached, but can also escape into the void to prevent being found by the enemy.
Every thousand years in the past, when Xiaoji Palace faced attacks from groups of monsters, it would often resort to this method, hiding its core disciples and leaving these monsters helpless.
However, before avoiding the battle, Xiaoji Palace still has to teach these monsters a lesson and cannot just let the other side attack in vain.
Moreover, before leading the core disciples to retreat, Xiaoji Palace must first consume a group of disciples to carry out a process of survival of the fittest.
In this case, Xiaoji Palace would naturally not retreat without a fight.
So, on Beiming Island, groups of Xiaoji Palace disciples, led by some Jindan stage cultivators, fought fiercely with groups of monsters.
These disciples of Xiaoji Palace are indeed very powerful as they stay in such an extremely cold place as Beiming Island.
But unfortunately, the number of monsters was too large, so after repeated fierce battles, the monks of Xiaoji Palace were defeated. In the end, after losing a large number of manpower, the disciples of Xiaoji Palace completely retreated back to Ice City.
The monsters were also blocked in front of the Ice City and could not move forward because the place was guarded by a large formation left over from ancient times.
Faced with this formation, the strongest among the monsters finally appeared. All the transformed monsters gathered together and appeared on an iceberg.
In front of them was the area covered by the Xiaoji Palace's palace-guarding formation. Looking at the vast white mist, the transformed monsters all had solemn expressions on their faces.
This group of monsters was divided into two groups. One group had only a dozen or so people, surrounding an old man and a young child, one tall and one short. The other group had more than twenty people, surrounding a slender woman in silver clothes.
The woman in silver shirt had an elegant appearance and skin as white as snow. She was actually a stunning beauty, and she was totally out of place with the group of ferocious monsters around her.
A beam of light fell on the iceberg, and an ugly man emerged from it. He looked at the child with awe, then came up to the old man, moved his lips slightly, and whispered a few words.
The old man was wearing a green robe and had a stern look on his face. When he heard the message from the transformed monster, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong? Qinglang!" The boy asked leisurely when he saw this.
The old man in green robe bowed and said quickly, "Valley Master, I heard that Fellow Daoist Ye appeared in Xiaoji Palace recently!"
"What? Is it the Fellow Daoist Ye that Master Xiong mentioned appeared on Kunwu Mountain?" The boy was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in surprise.
"It is this person. It is said that he has been staying in Xiaoji Palace all this time and has never left!" said the old man in green robe after a wry smile.
Hearing this, the boy 's face darkened a little, and he said coldly: "Could it be that Xiaoji Palace knew we were coming, so they specially invited this fellow Daoist Ye to help them?"
"What could there be in Xiaoji Palace that could impress this famous Fellow Daoist Ye? Could it be that they told him the secret of the space node?" The old man in green robe said with a turn of his eyes.
"It is very likely. Could it be that this Daoist Fellow Ye wants to take this node for himself? Although Master Xiong and the others have described this man's magical powers to the skies, I am not afraid of him. Although I have only brought an incarnation this time, I am still able to fight him with the Ten Thousand Demons Banner!"
"If he really wants to take that node for himself, I may have to risk my life!" The boy said in a mature manner, and at the same time, his blood-red eyes looked at the woman in silver shirt on the side.
The woman in silver shirt now had a murderous look on her face, and an icy aura emanated from her body.
"The cultivator named Ye you mentioned is the one named Ye Changsheng?"
A terrifying murderous intent emanated from the woman, and the momentum was so overwhelming that the monsters around her could not help but take a few steps back.
The cold voice made the green-robed old man's heart tremble. Even though he and the woman were both level ten monsters, he did not have much confidence in front of her.
The original form of the woman in silver shirt is the Ice Phoenix, an ancient spiritual beast, while his original form is just a green-backed wolf.
The difference in their bloodlines is incomparable, and the opponent's combat power is almost one level higher than his.
With a hearty laugh, the boy with bloodshot eyes said, "I almost forgot that Fairy Feng also has a grudge with this man!"
"However, I am very curious about what this person did back then that made Fairy Feng go to such great lengths to join forces with our Ten Thousand Demons Valley to arrest him?"
"Hmph, fellow Daoist brother, please don't worry about this matter!" The woman in silver shirt said coldly upon hearing this.
The boy had asked for trouble, but he was not angry. He just laughed and said, "It seems that we may have to change our plan. If that person is inside, it seems impossible to attack Xiaoji Palace by force!"
"What's wrong? Are you scared, fellow Daoist? He's just a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Besides, you have the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in your hand!" The silver-shirted woman said with a hint of sarcasm on her face.
"Haha, what Feng Xianzi said is true. Don't you know that he has the Black Wind Flag in his hand? Moreover, it is said that in addition to the Black Wind Flag, this person also has a tripod-like magic treasure in his hand!"
“These two spiritual treasures must be treated with caution even if my real body is dispatched!” The boy shook his head repeatedly, looking as if he was unwilling to fight Ye Changsheng head-on.
"Humph, since you don't dare to fight him, then just hand him over to me. It's a good opportunity to settle our grudges!"
"I want to see if he is as strong as you boast!" The silver-shirted woman said coldly with murderous eyes.
She had been searching for this human cultivator named Ye Changsheng for nearly a hundred years but couldn't find him. Now that he had finally shown up, how could she let him go so easily?
Even though there were many terrible rumors about the other party, the hatred in her heart would be difficult to resolve if she didn't fight him.
What's more, she believed that with her strength, she could stand on equal footing with these godsend cultivators, so she didn't necessarily need to be afraid of that human cultivator.
"Okay, since Fairy Feng is so courageous, how can I be willing to lag behind others? Fellow Daoist Ye is left to you, and the other great cultivators of Xiaoji Palace can be left to me!" The boy laughed heartily and said.
The woman in silver snorted coldly upon hearing this and said no more.
The aura on his body became increasingly colder, and a layer of silver-white ice flame began to emerge from his body.
It seems that this woman can't wait to break into Xiaoji Palace.
Seeing this, the boy with bloodshot eyes chuckled, opened his mouth, and a ball of black gas spurted out, which turned into a gray flag that appeared in front of him.
"Let's break the formation now . This formation is quite tricky!" said the boy with a laugh.
When the silver-shirted woman saw the banner, her expression became more serious. She looked at it carefully for a moment and asked calmly, "Is this Guigu's Ten Thousand Demons Banner?"
"Hehe, it is this banner. After being infiltrated by the spirits of all the monsters in the valley over the years, the power of this banner is unimaginable."
"Although I am just an incarnation and cannot exert the full power of this banner, even so, breaking this formation is not a problem!" said the boy with a grin.
Then he grabbed the Ten Thousand Demons Banner and shook it gently. Suddenly, countless phantoms of monsters danced on it, densely packed and countless.
Seeing this, the woman in silver shirt's cold face moved slightly, and then she gave an order to the group of monsters behind her.
Then, his figure flashed and appeared above the formation.
Upon seeing this, the boy burst into laughter, and then activated the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in front of him. The grey flag immediately expanded out of thin air, and countless phantoms of demon beasts flew out of it and pounced towards the formation.
Following the actions of these two people, the group of monsters behind them also immediately took action and rushed towards the formation.
There was movement in the formation as well. More than a dozen figures emerged, hiding in the restrictions. They raised their hands and emitted various lights, heading towards the group of monsters.
