"Sister! Stop it!!"
Perhaps in the next moment, the deadly ice crystals would pierce Yun Che's body and turn him into flying ice powder. But at this moment, a hurried female voice came from afar, and everything froze instantly.
As an ice storm swept over, Mu Bingyun rushed over like lightning and tightly grasped Mu Xuanyin's wrist. The ice crystal was also dissolved by her profound energy at the same time.
"Sister, what are you doing? Are you going to kill him?"
She knew the answer to this question without even asking it. Because even she had only seen Mu Xuanyin release such murderous intent a few times in the past few thousand years… With such murderous intent, she absolutely wanted to kill Yun Che, and she wished she could cut him into pieces.
“He—deserves—to die!!”
The same words, the same icy heart and soul, three ice crystals instantly appeared on her hands, each of which released an icy aura that was far more terrifying than before.
“Sister!!” Mu Bingyun stretched out both hands and firmly held Mu Xuanyin’s wrist. “Although I don’t know what he did wrong, I am sure that he is not a person with an ugly and despicable temperament. Sister must agree with this, otherwise she wouldn’t treat him so specially!”
"Moreover... even if he made a huge mistake, he saved my life after all. Just based on this point, at least... he should be given a chance to save his life and forgive his sins!"
Her words were urgent, and her icy eyes even showed pleading. She was curious and amazed at Yun Che, but more of that was naturally deep gratitude. Not only did he save her life, he also saved the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, where she had poured her heart and soul into. In addition, she knew that Yun Che had also saved countless lives in the Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm without even realizing it.
Because if she died from the poison of the Qilin Dragon, Mu Xuanyin might have some reservations while she was the Realm King. But once she stepped down from the Realm King position, given her temperament, she would definitely launch a brutal revenge on the Flame God Realm. If the Flame God Realm lost its mind again, the kind of disaster that would erupt between the two realms would be simply unimaginable.
“…”Mu Xuanyin said nothing, her eyes as cold as before.
“Sister!!” Mu Bingyun moved in front of Mu Xuanyin, blocking her gaze from staring at Yun Che: “He is your personal disciple, and your favorite disciple of all time, otherwise, you wouldn’t be so special to him. You said that he is the only disciple who has the potential to surpass you in the future. For this hope, you even gave him the Nine-Revolution Buddha Heart Lotus that you poured nine thousand years of hard work into…Are you willing to just throw away this hope and nine thousand years of hard work?”
Yun Che: “…”
Mu Xuanyin remained silent, but the light of the ice crystal in her hand dimmed slightly.
"The Nine-turn Buddha Heart Lotus was obtained by my sister's master at the cost of his life. It not only contains my sister's hard work, but also carries the expectations that your master exchanged his life for... You must not do something that will make you regret for the rest of your life in a moment of impulse!"
“That’s enough!”
The Han Jing in his hand slowly dissipated. Mu Xuanyin turned around and said coldly: "I don't want to see him now. Bingyun, help me throw him into the Mist Valley!"
"Mist End Valley!?" Mu Bingyun asked in shock, "Even if Fei Xue went in there, she would definitely die. What's the difference between you doing this and killing him directly?"
"Three days. I'll give him three days. If he can survive these three days, I'll spare his life!"
Mu Xuanyin’s finger moved backwards like lightning. With a flash of cold light, a tiny profound formation appeared on Yun Che’s chest and then disappeared.
"This profound formation will be activated in thirty-six hours and will send him out of the Mist Valley. As for whether he will be sent out alive or dead, hmph, that depends on his own fate!"
After a slight pause, Mu Xuanyin's voice suddenly became icy and sinister: "Yun Che, listen! This chance to survive is the biggest concession I have ever made in my life! Regardless of whether you live or die in three days, you have repaid Bing Yun for saving your life! I will no longer help you with the matter of going to the Eternal Heaven God Realm, and you will never have to think about the Qiankun Wuqiong Pill again!"
Three days… It sounds very short, but the shock on Mu Bingyun’s face did not ease at all, because with Yun Che’s strength and the terrifying Mist Valley, it was a place of utter death for him. Not to mention three days, even surviving for three hours would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
She opened her lips slightly, wanting to continue to plead for Yun Che, but when she thought of Mu Xuanyin's murderous aura that had frightened her before, she took back the words that were about to come out... Indeed, for Mu Xuanyin, this might be the biggest concession in her life. If she continued to plead for mercy by force, it might only have the opposite effect.
What disaster did Yun Che get into?!
Mu Bingyun came to Yun Che and stretched out her hand to gently help him up: “Yun Che, get up.”
Yun Che stood up: “Thank you, Palace Master Bingyun.”
Mu Bingyun shook her head: "Since you are wrong, just repent and accept the punishment... I will take you to the Mist Valley."
Yun Che secretly glanced at Mu Xuanyin's back, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to speak. His body was already lifted up by Mu Bingyun.
“Wait!” Mu Xuanyin suddenly said, “Bingyun, what do you want to talk to me about?”
Mu Bingyun turned around and said, “Just now, news came from the Flame God Realm that the aura of the Burial God Inferno Prison has begun to become abnormal recently, and the time for the Qionglong to shed its scales is approaching. In five days, they will send someone to pick up Sister and take her to the Flame God Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Yan Wancang or Yan Juehai who will come to pick her up personally.”
“…” Mu Xuanyin did not respond. Although she had given Yun Che a chance to survive, an icy murderous aura still lingered on her body.
“Sister, I’ll go with you then.” Mu Bingyun said softly.
“No need!”
Amid the cold words, Mu Xuanyin’s figure gradually blurred and then disappeared.
The snow and wind that had been stagnant for a long time began to fall again, and the frozen world melted carefully as she left.
“Alas.” Mu Bingyun sighed and held Yun Che tightly with her arms: “Let’s go.”
……………………
Mist End Valley, a few months ago, Mu Xuanyin had brought him to this place… the thick fog that was like a demon barrier, the biting cold, the ferocious profound beasts, and the Ice Phoenix disciples who had committed a serious mistake and were thrown into it, left to fend for themselves.
Mu Xuanyin had said at the time that this was the place where he would come to train in the future... Unexpectedly, he would become the one who would be thrown in because of a big mistake.
“Yun Che, what mistake did you make that made your master so angry?” At this point, Mu Bingyun finally asked the question in her heart. She didn’t dare to ask in front of Mu Xuanyin, because if she mentioned the thing that made her so angry again, it would only make her angrier.
“…” Yun Che lowered his head and whispered, “I didn’t mean it.”
Even if he had ten times more courage, he would not dare to say it. Otherwise, Mu Bingyun, who had just tried her best to protect him, might have slapped him directly.
Although it was definitely not intentional, it was still a big mistake and a real blasphemy... It's a miracle that I'm still alive.
“I know you couldn’t have done it on purpose.” Seeing that he was unwilling or didn’t dare to answer, Mu Bingyun turned her gaze away and didn’t force him to ask.
Did he accidentally destroy something important to his sister? No... His sister even gave him the Nine-turn Buddha Heart Lotus that was as precious as her life. It was impossible for her to kill him for such a reason.
Mu Bingyun could never have imagined how big of a mistake Yun Che had made. Even if Yun Che told her the truth, she might not believe it... Because with Yun Che's strength, even if he was a thousand times stronger, he couldn't even touch Mu Xuanyin's clothes, let alone...
“Yun Che, you may not know that your master has always been very special to you. During her years as a Realm King, she has accepted several disciples, but none of them has ever been treated this way by her. She not only cares about your growth, but also your safety. A few months ago, even when you went to the Ice Wind Empire... she was always worried about you, afraid that you would be plotted against by Mu Hanyi.”
“…I know, I am sorry to Master.” Yun Che lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.
"She has great expectations for you and once told me that she would do her best to train you. The Nine-transformation Buddha Heart Lotus was obtained by your master's master with her life. For nine thousand years, she personally cultivated it with the Ice Phoenix Profound Qi and watered it with the water from the Heavenly Lake... but in the end, she gave it all to you. This fact surprised me greatly."
“…” Yun Che lowered his head even lower.
"In this world, I am your master's only relative, and I am also the one who knows her best. If she had even a little bit of murderous intent, there would have been corpses everywhere. But this time, the murderous intent that frightened me finally spared you. This is the best possible outcome."
“Palace Master Bingyun, thank you.” Yun Che raised his head slightly and said gratefully, “If it weren’t for your plea, I would have already…”
Mu Bingyun slowly shook her head: "You don't have to thank me. After all, if it weren't for you, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't even have the chance to plead for you today."
She looked down at the Mist Valley. "After you enter the Mist Valley, I can't help you secretly. If your master finds out, she will only get angrier. You can only rely on yourself. I heard from your master that you have a profound skill that can conceal your aura, which even your master praised. I believe it must be extraordinary. This will be your biggest support to survive three days in the Mist Valley."
"Remember, in the Mist Valley, you should hide if you can, and avoid if you can. Unless it is absolutely necessary, even if you only encounter the lowest level Frost Dire Wolf, you should try not to confront it head-on. Because the mysterious beasts in the Mist Valley are extremely dense, and each one is ferocious. The slightest movement will most likely attract a large group of mysterious beasts that you cannot deal with."
"Also, don't fly in the air unless it's absolutely necessary. It's very easy to be detected when flying, especially those flying mysterious beasts have extremely high spiritual perception. Once detected, there will be nowhere to hide."
"If you encounter other Ice Phoenix disciples, no matter how kind they appear, you must never let down your guard... It is best to avoid them all and not encounter any of them."
Yun Che nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering Mu Bingyun’s instructions.
"Take this."
In Mu Bingyun's palm, there was a small short knife. The handle was two inches long, shaped like a butterfly wing, and the blade was only four inches long. It was flawless and icy white, with a faint glow.
"This blade is called 'Cloud Butterfly'. Your master also has one in his hand, called 'Sound Butterfly'. It is an heirloom of our family and is well-known in the Snow Song Realm. Although your heavy sword is extremely powerful, it also makes a lot of noise, but this one can kill the enemy silently. You will know its power once you use it... I hope you will never need to use it."
Yun Che reached out to take it. The moment he touched it, he felt a cold and sharp edge piercing his soul. Although it was clearly in his hand, it was as light as drifting snow.
This short blade is an heirloom of the Mu Xuanyin and Mu Bingyun families, and Mu Xuanyin also has one. One can imagine how extraordinary this short blade is.
“Thank you, Palace Master Bingyun.” After carefully putting away the Cloud Butterfly Blade, Yun Che expressed his gratitude once again.
"Your master is very angry now. Once she calms down a little, she might come and take you away early... You'd better take care of yourself."
Mu Bingyun sighed softly and gently pushed Yun Che down. In a flash, Yun Che’s figure disappeared into the vast icy fog.
