Wei Sheng You Meng looked to be in her early twenties. Her hair and pupils seemed to be surrounded by colorful spiritual light, making her look very sacred. Her features were also extremely beautiful, but the majesty and aloofness between her brows and eyes made people afraid to approach her.

Su Jiuli stepped forward first and bowed respectfully, saying, "Su Jiuli and Ye Sisi, disciples of Meng Tianyuan of the Tianling Sect, thank the Clan Chief for saving our lives. If you have any instructions, my brother and I will certainly not refuse!"

Ye Sisi didn't speak, but respectfully followed suit and bowed. Regardless of the clan leader's purpose, he had indeed saved their lives, and she deserved this bow.

Wei Sheng You Meng smiled and said, "Young friends, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat!"

After the two sat down, Wei Shengyun served tea to all three of them and then bowed and withdrew. It seems that the Elven race takes the concept of hierarchy very seriously!

Wei Sheng You Meng smiled, her voice carrying a pleasant quality: "I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I've invited you here to ask you for a favor!"

Su Jiuli smiled and said, "Please speak, Clan Leader. We will certainly not refuse anything we can do!"

Wei Sheng You Meng sighed: "I'm sure you two young friends already know that our branch is a sinner of the Elf race. Our ancestors left us an ancestral instruction that our lineage must atone for our sins in this desolate land for generations to come. But our ancestors also said that our fate is not yet over, and that we will meet a benefactor who will help us return to the world of cultivation!"

She emphasized the words "a benefactor," and her gaze towards Ye Sisi and the other person was somewhat enigmatic.

Su Jiuli and Ye Sisi exchanged a glance. Was this clan leader questioning their numbers? No wonder she ignored them. They didn't know whether to call her cautious or stupid!

But the two of them just smiled and didn't say anything more, appearing to be listening attentively.

Wei Sheng You Meng continued, "My young friends were still recovering from their injuries, so I didn't want to disturb you. This is a map of the Absolute Spirit Cold Desert and the location of the array's core that we've discovered over the years. I implore you two to help my clan escape this misery!"

After saying that, she stood up from her seat, bent down and handed the map to Su Jiuli. After all, Ye Sisi looked too young, and Su Jiuli seemed more reliable.

Su Jiuli quickly reached out to help her up, repeatedly saying he wouldn't dare, and that he would do his best. Ye Sisi thought her senior brother was really shrewd and resourceful, but she wondered how many episodes he would survive in a palace drama.

After learning some more information from the elven chieftain, Su Jiuli said that she needed to find a way to break the seal on the spiritual energy here. After all, the chieftain had said that they would be attacked as soon as they got close to the formation, so it was impossible for them to break the seal on their own, since the sealing formation was specifically designed for them.

However, Su Jiuli and Ye Sisi were outsiders. Since they could get in, they must have a way to get out. Su Jiuli readily agreed, after all, they also needed to get out, and what about the phoenix egg? They had already come all this way, so how could they possibly refuse it?

Wei Sheng You Meng didn't expect them to agree so readily, but after thinking about it, she understood. After all, they were cultivators and must want to leave this place devoid of any spiritual energy as soon as possible.

Although she didn't know what spiritual energy was, she knew from the ancient books left by her ancestors that it must be a good thing. After all, if you cultivate with spiritual energy, moving mountains and filling seas is not a problem. People who have never been in contact with spiritual energy can't help but yearn for it, let alone cultivators who are used to spiritual energy. They must want to leave this place even more.

So the chieftain warmly instructed his people to prepare two large bundles, filled with food, supplies, and clothing. He was incredibly hospitable and even provided each of them with a sand wolf for their journey.

Ye Sisi didn't think much of it. She often saw people in TV dramas carrying bags, which she found quite amusing.

However, Su Jiuli, a cultivator who had lived in the cultivation world since childhood, was not used to it. After all, spatial rings and the like were too convenient, and there was no need for such trouble.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Ye Sisi eagerly stuffed the bundle onto his shoulder. Helpless, Su Jiuli had no choice but to carry it on his back, and then, led by an elven boy, they left the elven city.

The city is quite large, which makes sense, considering they've lived here for thousands of years; they couldn't possibly live too shabbily. And judging from the chieftain and the Yunxin sisters' manner of speaking and their attire, the elves still live a refined life even in such a desolate place.

In fact, Ye Sisi felt that living in such a place was not so bad. Without spiritual power, there would be less conflict and no need to fight with others for resources. She could live a peaceful life, just like her previous life. Although it was ordinary, she wouldn't be in danger of losing her life all the time.

But since they yearn for the outside world, she can't impose her own ideas on them. Besides, their relationship isn't close enough for her to confide in them. Moreover, this is, after all, the wish of their ancestors, and she's not going to be the bad guy.

The boy who led the way was named Wei Shengxi. He was a very shy boy. Every time Ye Sisi saw him, she would think of Ye Shubai. She wondered how they were doing and hoped that they had fallen into a safe place!

Su Jiuli pointed to one of the places marked in red and said, "Can you take us here first?"

After looking at it, Wei Shengxi said, "It's possible, but the Flame King Cave is very dangerous. We'll get burned if we get close, and if we're too slow, we'll be burned to death by the spewing lava!"

Su Jiuli patted his shoulder reassuringly: "Don't worry, when we go in, you can just stand aside and wait!"

Wei Shengxi nodded shyly, then sat on the sand wolf's back and walked forward.

Just like its name suggests, the Absolute Cold Desert has no spiritual energy, extremely low temperatures, and the ground is covered in yellow sand. You could say it's a desert at night, the kind of place where you could freeze to death.

Because of the recent cold wave, the yellow sand is still covered with thick snow, making it feel like walking in a snow world. Such a beautiful scene is quite rare.

At first, Ye Sisi thought riding the wolf around was quite interesting. But from dawn to dusk, there was still endless white snow in front of her. Moreover, without spiritual power, she was shivering from the cold. Her nose and cheeks were red from the cold. If she hadn't been wearing a fluffy hat, her scalp would probably have frozen off.

Wei Shengxi found a sheltered spot and set up his tent. He then placed the sand wolf beside him. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be used to such harsh conditions. This made sense, since it had lived here since it was a child.

"Ah Xi, how much longer do we have to walk to the Cave of the King of Hell?"

Ye Sisi had lost count of how many times she had asked. Every time Wei Shengxi said it would be soon, but it still hadn't arrived.

Wei Shengxi scratched his head sheepishly: "It will definitely arrive before noon tomorrow!"
