Zhao Yuhan exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Saint Realm experts, just like us, will trigger the restrictions within the secret realm once they enter, attracting attacks..."

“He must have some kind of secret technique to suppress his cultivation level, which is why he can move freely in the secret realm,” Wen Shaoling said through gritted teeth.

Two more auras appeared.

The whirlpool in the icy sea has shrunk to the size of a bucket!

"They're your apprentices, give them a hand, otherwise they won't have time to get out!" Wen Shaoling reminded them.

Zhao Yuhan immediately raised his right hand and grabbed at the air, and two disheveled figures tumbled and flew out of the secret realm.

It really was Chen Xianglan and Zhao Zijing!

Seeing that Chen Xianglan was injured, Zhao Yuhan immediately asked, "What happened in the secret realm?"

Chen Xianglan answered without hesitation: "Master, we entered the secret realm on your orders to hunt down those martial artists. Everything was going smoothly, and we thought all the martial artists had been killed."

"But just in case, we went to check the underground cavern of the Ice Fairy, and the result was..."

"What was the result? Tell me quickly, don't beat around the bush!" Zhao Yuhan commanded.

Chen Xianglan said awkwardly, "As a result, we encountered a terrifying person there. My junior sister and I were definitely defeated by him, but he didn't kill us. Instead, he altered our memories. So we don't remember anything about what happened there. When we came to our senses, I was already injured, but my junior sister was fine and wasn't hurt."

"But Fairy Xuanbing's body is missing. It's highly likely that it was taken away by that mysterious guy!"

Zhao Yuhan's face immediately turned extremely ugly, as did Wen Shaoling's.

"This matter is of great importance and must be reported to the sect leader immediately!" Wen Shaoling said quickly.

So Zhao Yuhan waved his sleeve, picked up Chen Xianglan and Zhao Zijing, and flew towards the Yin Sect of Frozen Island with Wen Shaoling!

Night Wind has now arrived in Ice Dragon City.

There are three cities on the frozen island, with the largest being the Frost Serpent City, which has a population of over 300,000.

Ice Dragon City and Snow Lotus City are relatively much smaller in scale.

Cold Serpent City is backed by the White Green Snow Mountain, and the sect of the Earth Yin Sect is located on the White Green Snow Mountain.

Now that Ye Feng has taken away the sect leader of the Earth Yin Sect from 1,300 years ago, he naturally cannot go to Cold Serpent City, or at least cannot go there rashly.

Because this news will soon reach the Earth Yin Sect, and the Earth Yin Sect will definitely conduct a large-scale search. Cold Serpent City is the closest to the Earth Yin Sect, so the search there will definitely be the most thorough.

In comparison, the searches in Ice Dragon City and Snow Lotus City were much more lax.

On the third floor of the Tianhai Inn in Ice Dragon City, Ye Feng released Bai Yue and Xuanbing Fairy together.

"It's so cold, I'm freezing."

Bai Yue rubbed her hands together and said resentfully, "Ever since you stuffed this ice woman into Biyou Palace, the temperature inside has dropped by dozens of degrees. I almost froze to death inside."

"You're a seventh-grade demon beast, after all," Ye Feng said irritably.

Bai Yue stuck out her tongue shyly.

Then she looked at Ye Feng with curiosity and asked, "Who is this woman? Why is she sealed inside such a large piece of ice?"

“She is the Fairy of the Mystic Ice,” Ye Feng said.

Bai Yue was completely confused; it seemed she had never heard of Fairy Xuanbing.

That's true. Fairy Xuanbing perished 1,300 years ago... no, she slept in the Ice Sea Secret Realm, and Bai Yue hadn't even been born yet at that time.

Bai Yue only lived for eight hundred years.

“Fairy Xuanbing was the sect leader of the Earth Yin Sect 1,300 years ago, and she was a Human Immortal in the Returning to Emptiness Realm,” Ye Feng explained.

"What? She's the sect leader of the Earth Yin Sect!"

Bai Yue stared in shock at the Ice Fairy in the ice, her face showing disbelief.

Ye Feng nodded, and then relayed Zhao Zijing's explanation to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue was completely confused and said, "This is really strange. Fairy Xuanbing is the sect leader of the Diyin Sect. Why would she turn against the people of the Diyin Sect? Even after death—no, after she fell into a deep sleep, she still left a contingency plan to prevent the people of the Diyin Sect from getting close to her body—no, where is her body?"

“I also want to know the answer,” Ye Feng said earnestly.

"Then what's next..."

"Of course, we should release Fairy Xuanbing from this block of ice."

As Ye Feng spoke, he took out various materials from his storage ring and began to set up an array on the floor.

Bai Yue couldn't help, so she could only watch curiously from the sidelines.

About an hour later, a very complex array with a flame pattern in the center appeared in front of Bai Yue.

"Step back," Night Wind said.

Bai Yue immediately stepped back.

The night wind moved the ice to the center of the formation and set up a restriction in the room.

Having completed all this, Ye Feng finally sat down cross-legged and began to work.

As the night wind cast out a series of magical seals and infused its true energy into the formation, the formation immediately burst into flames of blazing white.

The blazing white flames caused the room temperature to rise rapidly. If it weren't for the protective barrier set up by Ye Feng beforehand, everything in the room would have been ignited.

"It's so hot... I was freezing in Biyou Palace just now, and now it's unbearably hot."

Bai Yue was covered in sweat and retreated again and again, but even so, she still felt unbearably hot.

"Then just take off your clothes, it'll cool you down," Ye Feng joked.

Bai Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Ye Feng.

After spending this time together, Bai Yue no longer felt as restrained as before when facing Ye Feng, and she was much more relaxed in both speaking and doing other things.

But Ye Feng stopped wasting time talking to Bai Yue and focused on refining the ice.

This blazing white flame is the Blazing Skyfire.

The Blazing Heavenly Fire was obtained by Ye Feng from the Tianyuan World. He used his own true energy to activate the Blazing Heavenly Fire, but he could not maintain it for too long.

But now, with the help of this formation, Ye Feng can maintain the burning of the Blazing Heavenly Fire for a long time.

As the ice was scorched by the Blazing Heavenly Fire, it gradually melted and began to shrink in size.

An hour has passed.

The ice has shrunk by one size.

Another hour passed.

The ice shrank again, and it looked like the head and feet of the Ice Fairy were about to emerge from it.

Just then, cracks suddenly appeared on the ice, and it shattered with a crack!

The night wind immediately extinguished the dazzling heavenly fire and picked up Fairy Xuanbing around the waist.

The Ice Fairy was still fast asleep and had not yet woken up.

But her heartbeat had returned, and blood was flowing again in her veins.

Night Breeze placed Fairy Xuanbing on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The first step is finally complete," Ye Feng said.

"Is the first step complete? Are there a second or third step?" Bai Yue asked.
