After the Spirit Sword successfully advanced, Long Cheng and Feng Yan returned to the Divine Realm to await orders.

After careful consideration, Yin Ming originally planned to let Liu Ying stay in the Forbidden Forest while he and Ling Yao went to investigate.

After all, even if something happens, with Lingyao there, they can escape unscathed, so Liuying really doesn't need to take this risk.

But Liu Ying refused no matter what.

"I don't want to experience the regrets of a hundred years ago again." She smiled gently. "Don't worry, even if I encounter danger, I have the ability to protect myself."

Yin Ming sighed and said nothing more.

A regret from a century ago...

Yes... those who stayed behind survived, but their inner torment was not lessened in the slightest.

Instead, with the passage of time, it becomes an indelible mark on my heart.

Yin Ming thought that if she could, Liu Ying would rather choose to sacrifice herself in that battle with them.

This is probably what modern society calls survivor syndrome.

...

The Ice Soul Snowfield is covered in snow all year round.

Although this extremely cold place is located within the territory of the gods, its abnormally cold temperature means that few people usually approach it, which makes it easier for Yin Ming and his companions to investigate.

Yin Ming and Liu Ying are fine, but if Ling Yao, a demon, is discovered by the gods, things could get very troublesome.

After landing, Yin Ming immediately took out three cloaks from the wardrobe in his spatial ring and put one on himself and one on Lingyao Liuying.

Once it warmed up a bit, the three of them split up to explore the Ice Soul Snowfield.

Yin Ming carefully sensed the unusual features in the snow, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since entering this snowfield, he'd often felt a chill run down his spine, as if...

It was as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

But whenever Yin Ming turned around to look, there was nothing behind him, and that feeling would disappear without a trace.

To verify whether this was an illusion or not, Yin Ming shouted "A Yao," pretending that he was going to meet up with Ling Yao, but in reality, he quickly summoned a mirror and looked it back.

Upon hearing his voice, Lingyao immediately rushed to his location.

"What's wrong, Yin Ming? Did you discover something?"

Yin Ming stared intently at the mirror, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He thinks he just saw a white figure in the mirror.

But in an instant, the figure disappeared into the wind and snow, and it all seemed to be just a hallucination.

"Ah Yao, did you... sense any other people's presence nearby just now?" Yin Ming looked up at Ling Yao and asked uncertainly.

Perhaps it was simply that his mental strength was not strong enough, which was why he couldn't sense the other party's presence.

But if there really is a fourth person in this snowfield, then he will definitely not escape Lingyao's divine sense.

Lingyao glanced thoughtfully at the mirror in Yin Ming's hand, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

A moment later he opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "No."

Hearing his answer, Yin Ming felt even more confused.

Could it be that he was seeing things?

Just then, a familiar scent, accompanied by the smell of blood, wafted to Yin Ming's nose.

"Senior Liuying!"

Yin Ming looked up and met Ling Yao's gaze, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Yin Ming was puzzled as to why his shout hadn't brought Liu Ying over. Normally, no matter who he shouted at, everyone else would come over to see what had happened...

Could it be that Liu Ying encountered some danger?!
