"You... ahhh..." Mu Hanyi's ten fingers were deformed from struggling, and even his voice was hoarse and weak and could not be heard clearly. Although he had only been poisoned for less than ten breaths, his body had completely changed color, especially his eyes, which were as red as blood plasma.
"Thank you for bringing me here. It not only gave me the opportunity and reason to kill you, but also allowed me to finally take this Qilin horn with peace of mind. Humph, as a token of my gratitude, I will generously tell you two things."
“First,” Yun Che narrowed his eyes, “Master gave Mu Feixue to me for a special reason. And you, even if you really became Master’s personal disciple, Master would never betroth Feixue to you. You said that I stole your Feixue, which is simply inexplicable.”
"Uh...ah!" Mu Hanyi's mouth opened wide, scarlet blood foam overflowing, and all his teeth had already disappeared under the poison.
“Second…” Yun Che squatted down and sneered softly, “The Qionglong poison that you were infected with was given to me by my master before I left. Can you guess why my master deliberately let me come to the Ice Wind Empire alone and gave me this poison at that time?”
“…”Mu Hanyi’s curled up body suddenly stiffened, and his completely colorless eyes released the most extreme fear and despair in his life.
"Hmph! You think you're acting flawlessly, but Master is the Great Realm King of Ten Thousand Years. Even someone as smart as me has to be obedient in front of her and not dare to have any tricks. What do your tricks mean to her?"
"If I really die here today, Master will never accept you as his disciple as you wish. On the contrary, you will only die a more miserable death!"
Mu Hanyi's mouth trembled as he opened and closed it with difficulty, but no sound came out of it. His curled up body no longer struggled, only occasionally spasming.
“Death by accidental triggering of a mechanism is a very good suggestion. Thank you for telling me that the profound formation that seals the Qilin horn can be unlocked with your blood. Otherwise, I would have to spend a lot more effort.” Yun Che sneered faintly.
“…” The poisonous aura surged through the barrier. Mu Hanyi’s five senses had all been lost. He could no longer hear what Yun Che said at the end. After a violent twitch, his poison-stricken body finally stopped moving.
He died suddenly under the breath of the Qionglong.
Yun Che stretched out his left hand and released the power of the Sky Poison Pearl, purifying all the poison on Mu Hanyi's body. Following this, even the poisonous aura that was dissipating in the barrier space was also completely purified, leaving no trace of the Qionglong poison.
Standing up, Yun Che took one last look at the silent Mu Hanyi, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself, “What a scary person.”
He thought of Xuanyuan Wentian.
There was no doubt that Xuanyuan Wentian was an extremely terrifying person, and the only person who had nearly killed him several times. Mu Hanyi was less than thirty years old, but he was already so cunning and scheming. If he was born in the lower realm and given the same amount of time as Xuanyuan Wentian, he would definitely become a more terrifying person than Xuanyuan Wentian.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have the chance.
Yun Che completely understood why Mu Xuanyin had decided to accept Mu Hanyi as her personal disciple, because with his scheming and tactics, he was indeed far more suitable to become a superior than the pure-hearted Mu Feixue.
However, since she had chosen Yun Che, Mu Hanyi’s extreme scheming naturally became a dangerous factor for Yun Che.
She wanted Yun Che to come to the Ice Wind Empire to give him not only the test of getting the Qilin Horn, but also another test, which was to solve the potential crisis of Mu Hanyi by himself.
It was unknown how long it would take for the surrounding sealing barrier to disappear. Mu Hanyi’s previous full-strength attack had not been able to create even the slightest crack in it, so Yun Che naturally had no need to waste his energy trying. He arrived in front of the barrier, took a deep breath, and stretched out his left and right hands at the same time.
The left hand is icy, the right hand is flaming.
Yun Che closed his eyes and quickly concentrated his mind. After a long period of stillness, the airflow in the barrier suddenly became turbulent. As the icy light and the flaming light became more intense, the cold air and the burning air that should have devoured and offset each other twisted and merged against common sense, and an aura that deviated from the laws of heaven slowly emerged.
After a long while, Yun Che opened his eyes. An ice-blue flame was burning quietly in his palm.
His attainments in flames had been increasing rapidly, and now that he had obtained the blood of the Ice Phoenix, the power of the Ice Flame, which was a fusion of flame and ice, naturally increased greatly. Yun Che slowly raised the Ice Flame and whispered, "It's almost the limit... It should be enough!"
The ice flame pushed forward and touched the barrier.
There was no sound at all. The isolation barrier in front, which even Mu Hanyi could not blast open, was like a thin piece of ice touching a raging flame, and it quickly melted into a big hole under the icy flame.
The power immediately dissipated rapidly from the sudden gap, and the entire isolation barrier shook violently, then shattered with a loud crack, turning into power fragments that flew everywhere.
Yun Che glanced around, thinking about which mechanism to throw Mu Hanyi into, but after a brief thought, he gave up the idea. This kind of disguise could be used by Mu Hanyi, but it was not suitable for him to use on Mu Hanyi. Not to mention that Mu Hanyi was particularly familiar with the mechanisms here, his body had been greatly corroded by the poison, and he could not pretend to die by accidentally touching the mechanism.
"Forget it, let's take his body out. Otherwise, with the missing Qilin horn, he might really suspect me. After all, I am the only person that Mu Hanyi is willing to bring here."
It would be nice to let Mu Hanyi and the Qilin Horn disappear together, and create the illusion that Mu Hanyi left with the Qilin Horn... As for the reason, let them figure it out themselves.
Without immediately collecting Mu Hanyi’s body, Yun Che turned and walked forward towards the piles of purple-veined divine crystals that were gleaming with mysterious light.
Purple stones, purple crystals, and purple jade are the universal currencies of the God Realm. When Yun Che first came to the God Realm, his wealth was naturally pitiful. When he was in the Ice Phoenix Palace, he had a monthly salary of 5,000 purple stones, but after becoming Mu Xuanyin's personal disciple, he had nothing left.
It was confirmed that there were no mechanical profound formations in this area, so Yun Che strode forward with confidence, and unceremoniously put the piled-up purple crystals and the carefully sealed purple jade into the Sky Poison Pearl. Although he could not determine the quantity at the moment, this was the treasure house of the royal family of a country, and it must be a huge fortune.
Yun Che then changed direction and put all the jade boxes that stored various precious pills and spiritual medicines into the Sky Poison Pearl.
This was only a corner of the treasure house, but Yun Che was not greedy, and stopped after collecting everything in this area. Because the treasure house was full of hidden mechanical arrays, if one accidentally touched one out of greed, the consequences would be disastrous.
With a large amount of purple crystals and purple jades on him, Yun Che instantly felt a sense of security that wealth can give. Yun Che returned to Mu Hanyi and flicked his finger. Mu Hanyi's body suddenly broke apart, and a few drops of dark blood flew out and then floated on Yun Che's fingertips.
Yun Che slowly came to the front of the profound formation that sealed the Qilin horn.
Since it was a profound formation that sealed the sacred object of the nation, it was naturally extremely tough. Even if he had fused the ice flame, he might not be able to break it. Yun Che looked down and once again examined the ice-blue giant unicorn horn. With a flick of his finger, several blood beads from Mu Hanyi immediately landed lightly on the sealing profound formation.
When the blood bead touched the mysterious formation, it flashed a faint red light for an instant, and then completely sank into it. At the same time, dull clanging sounds came from the mysterious formation, and a red mark appeared without warning. The entire seal slowly opened to both sides with this red mark as the center.
When it was fully opened, the Kirin horn that had existed in the Ice Wind Empire for more than 80,000 years appeared before his eyes without any obstruction.
"It seems that the Ice Wind Empire has extremely high-level profound formation masters."
Yun Che sighed, floated up, and then moved slowly forward, his palm lightly touching the Qilin horn.
It was extremely hard to the touch, yet had no temperature at all, not even the expected chill. However, there was a strange feeling that had never been experienced before, as if it came from ancient times.
Now is certainly not the time to explore this Qilin horn. Yun Che raised his hand slightly, and the more than three-meter-high Qilin horn was sucked up and put into the Sky Poison Pearl.
At the moment when the Qilin Horn entered the Sky Poison Pearl, a stream of profound energy suddenly came from below. Yun Che’s brows jumped: “Oh no!”
Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Below the place where the Qilin Horn was placed earlier, a beam of mysterious light shot up into the sky, accompanied by a deafening clanging sound. Almost at the same moment, the mysterious light in the treasure house flashed wildly, and all the early warning mysterious arrays lit up at the same time, emitting a dazzling light and a warning sound that could be heard hundreds of miles away.
“Damn!” Yun Che’s brows suddenly sank… Not only was the Qilin Horn blocked by a profound formation, but there was actually another profound formation hidden underneath it! As long as the Qilin Horn was removed, this profound formation would instantly activate and directly trigger all the profound formations in the treasure house.
Yun Che gritted his teeth... The Ice Wind Royal Family was really thorough in protecting this Qilin Horn!
There is no doubt that at this moment, not to mention the palace, the entire Bingfeng Imperial City has been alarmed. The guards outside, a large number of palace masters, and even Feng Huituo will rush over immediately.
"It should still be in time!"
Mu Hanyi said that only he, Feng Huituo and Feng Hange knew the secret passage of the treasure house. They were the closest to it, and the guards guarding outside the treasure house would only enter through the main gate, so he had enough time to leave through the secret passage.
Yun Che quickly calmed down, then turned around and prepared to take Mu Hanyi's body away.
But the moment he turned around, his movements suddenly froze, and all the hair on his body stood up.
As far as the sight went, there was nothing but a dark red bloodstain on the ground.
Mu Hanyi’s body...disappeared!
This shock was no small matter, and a chill ran straight up Yun Che’s spine.
“Who is it! Who is here!!”
If his body was completely destroyed by the poison of the Qionglong, then there was still a slight possibility. However, in order to not leave any traces of the Qionglong's breath, Yun Che had just used the Sky Poison Pearl to completely purify the poison from his body... No matter what, it was impossible for it to disappear out of thin air!
And from beginning to end, he did not detect any trace of other people's existence.
No one answered him. In the treasury filled with alarm, not even an echo could be heard.
The guards outside could break in at any time. Yun Che gritted his teeth, stepped on the Phantom Lightning Pole, and rushed towards the entrance he had come from at the fastest speed along the route he remembered.
The door of the secret passage was not closed. Yun Che rushed into the secret passage without slowing down at all, but he kept gritting his teeth.
There was another person in the treasure house! And he was a terrifying person whose existence he was completely unaware of!
If he was always here, then everything I did, including the purification of the Sky Poison Pearl and the Ice Flame... wouldn't he have seen it all!
Why was he in the treasure house... and why did he take Mu Hanyi's body away! ?
Who is it!!!
