Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi were in a very bad mood, even furious. Powerful true energy surged around them, and countless snowflakes danced around them, devoid of their usual gentleness and beauty, only exuding a chilling killing intent and boundless cold.

"You two say she jumped down by herself, but where is she?"

“We saw it with our own eyes. The young master jumped in to catch fish. We were busy picking snow lilies and didn’t notice. By the time we realized it, she had already jumped in.”

The speaker was Lian Si, whose still cold and hard face showed no sign of guilt. It could be said that her ability to become an elder was largely due to her acting skills.

"Shiyu, what she said is true. If I find out who is lying, the consequences will not be as simple as being expelled from the sect." Elder Lianqing's face was terribly gloomy.

Given Ye Xiruo's position in the Holy Maiden's heart and in the Pill King's Palace, if anything were to happen to Ye Xiruo, who could withstand the wrath of the Pill King's Palace? The Pill King's Palace not only has Jing Li, but also an even more unfathomable throne.

“The young master is a distinguished guest of our Holy Maiden Peak, yet such things happen again and again. This is simply a disgrace to our Holy Maiden Peak.”

Lianchi patted Lianqing on the shoulder: "The most important thing now is to find the young master as soon as possible."

Su Shaxuan walked directly towards the glacier: "Did she jump from here?"

"good."

Without hesitation, Su Shaxuan jumped down, like a beautiful white flower that blooms only briefly before disappearing, leaving only a huge splash of water.

"Su Sha was too impulsive."

"I'll go down and take a look." Elder Lianqing jumped down as well.

Elder Lianchi sighed, "You two continue picking Snow Crystals, don't get distracted. You two just stand here and wait for the young master!"

"On what grounds?" Elder Lian Si sneered.

"As long as you two are the only witnesses, who knows whether what you say is true or false? However, once we find the young master, we will naturally know the answer."

Lianchi has never liked Liansi. She is sharp, gloomy, cold, and sometimes even unreasonable.

"I am also an elder, you have no right to restrict my freedom." Lian Si flicked her sleeve and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a huge piece of silk flew out from Elder Lianchi's sleeve and blocked Lian Si's way: "How dare you! Are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you desperate or feeling guilty?"

"You're spouting nonsense!" Elder Lian Si, wielding a long sword, immediately engaged Elder Lian Chi in battle.

"You actually turned your sword against your fellow disciples for the sake of an outsider."

"I'm doing this for your own good. You couldn't pay for Ye Xiruo's life even with ten of your own."

Elder Lian Si became increasingly ruthless, targeting Elder Lian Chi's vital points at every turn. Elder Lian Chi gradually grew angry and stopped holding back.

Originally, she had no suspicions about Lian Si, but seeing Lian Si's posture, it was clear that she had something to hide. Elder Lian Chi directly raised her power to the tenth level. A white silk cloth, like a nimble white snake, not only blocked Lian Si's sword moves, but also left several wounds on Lian Si's body.

The more Lian Si fought, the more surprised she became. She and Lian Chi were both elders, and their strength was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How could Lian Chi be able to defeat her so easily?

Lian Si's mind was in turmoil, and she was no match for Lian Chi. She was quickly slapped to the ground by Elder Lian Chi's silk cloth.

Shiyu stayed far away, afraid of being implicated.

She hadn't expected that the two elders, both at the Nascent Soul stage, would have such a vast difference in strength. Elder Lian Si had been defeated so quickly, and she was so frightened that she dared not speak anymore.

“You are just an elder and have no right to deal with me. I will definitely report to the Holy Maiden when I get back.”

Elder Lianchi sneered, "Take a look at this." After saying that, he took out a white jade token with the words "Holy Maiden" written on it. It was actually the Holy Maiden's Token.

Seeing the token is like seeing the person; this token holds supreme power on Saintess Peak, so why is it in Lianchi's hands?

"You must be wondering why it's in my hands. The Holy Maiden anticipated that some people would harbor ill intentions, and specifically issued the Holy Maiden's Decree to handle any unexpected emergencies promptly. I believe the time is right. Lian Si, do you have anything else to say?"

I have nothing to say.

"It's best if this has nothing to do with you, otherwise even the Holy Maiden can't protect you." Lianchi directly sealed Liansi's power and threw her aside.

The purpose of this operation was to help the young master relax, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened, casting a shadow over Elder Lianchi's heart.

She seemed to foresee the deaths at this Saintess Summit, many deaths indeed. In the century since the Saintess ascended to the throne, there hadn't been any major bloodshed on Saintess Peak, causing some to become uneasy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Saintess would surely purge a portion of them.

A short while later, Elder Lianqing returned with Su Shaxuan. Both of them looked very unwell, even ashen-faced.

"Didn't you find them?"

The two shook their heads in unison. They had been swimming downstream along the glacier for a long time, but the vast glacier was silent and deserted.

"What?" Elder Lianchi's expression also changed.

The person has vanished: "Have you found anything?"

Both of them shook their heads, their brows furrowed in confusion.

"There are no signs of a fight here. There is Ye Xiruo's presence by the glacier, which means she really stayed here. Could it be that after she jumped in, she caught a fish and climbed back up downstream?"

"Let's continue searching by the river."

Elder Lianqing and Su Shaxuan's white figures quickly disappeared into the white snow. As Nascent Soul cultivators can connect with heaven and earth, Elder Lianqing quickly searched the entire glacier bank, but there was no trace of Ye Xiruo.

"The young master is blessed with good fortune; I believe she will be safe and sound."

The snow lilies here have been almost completely harvested, and everyone's mental energy is almost depleted, so they have to sit down and recover.

However, the atmosphere among the crowd had clearly changed drastically. The young palace master, who had seemed so experienced, was nowhere to be seen, nor was Elder Lian Si. Had something unexpected happened? But even if something had, a Nascent Soul cultivator would be unharmed.

Elder Lianqing, Elder Lianchi, and Su Shaxuan didn't have time to count Xue Linglong; the three of them took turns searching for Ye Xiruo. They searched almost the entire frozen river, but still couldn't find Ye Xiruo.

Ye Xiruo disappeared as if she had vanished from the glacier, leaving no trace. Lian Si still insisted that Ye Xiruo had gone down on her own.
