Eastern Divine Region, Snow Song Realm.
The atmosphere in the Snow Song Realm, which was once deified because of Yun Che, has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before. This is especially true of the Ice Phoenix Realm where the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect is located. Under the flying snow, there is a suffocating silence.
The Ice Phoenix Realm was silent all year round, but it had never been so cold and quiet.
The news of Mu Xuanyin’s death had already reached us several days ago… and it was a Moon God Messenger from the Moon God Realm who personally conveyed the news.
The Divine Ice Phoenix Sect had lost its leader, the Snow Song Realm had lost its Realm King… and it had also lost the core that stood proudly in the Northern Realm as a mid-level star realm, as well as the spiritual pillar of all the Snow Song Mysterious Practitioners.
No one knew what the future of the Snow Song Realm would be. However, a pessimistic atmosphere silently permeated every corner of the Snow Song Realm.
Dark and cold sky lake.
The cold veins of the Dark Frost Heavenly Lake were still there, but the Ice Phoenix Spirit was no longer there. Although the entire area was still filled with extremely high-level cold air, it lacked some of the indescribable divine aura.
The barrier that had been closed for a long time opened and closed silently at this moment.
On the bank of Minghan Tianchi, a figure walked out from the void. He was dressed in black, with black hair hanging down to his waist. For some reason, his appearance made the air in the entire Tianchi area suddenly become extremely dull and depressing.
He came to the sky above the Dark Frost Heavenly Lake, looking at the eternal and unfrozen water below, and took a few breaths in indifference… He had a very ordinary face, one that one might not be able to remember even if one looked at it a few more times. The aura on his body was thick and turbid, and his profound energy was roughly at the early stage of the Spirit Realm, overflowing with an icy aura that was rarely seen in the Snow Song Realm.
No one knew who he was, and no one would connect him... with Yun Che.
A crystal coffin that was flawless and shimmering with divine light appeared in front of him. He picked up the sleeping woman in the coffin, his movements were slow and gentle, without joy or sadness, anger or grief, and he did not allow himself to be greedy. Instead, he slowly released his arms and watched her gently fall down into the cold pool below...
Until her figure completely disappeared from sight...disappeared from his world.
“Xuan Yin,” he said softly, “The Primal Chaos is vast, but the only place that can accommodate me is that dark land.”
"I know that this must be the place you hate the most. Your father was killed by the people there... So, I won't let the aura there disturb your sleep. This is the only place that is most suitable for you to rest."
The ripples on the surface of the pond also returned to complete calm. Yun Che stared at it for the last time, turned around, and murmured to himself: "Xuanyin, if there is an afterlife, are you willing to meet me again..."
His figure swayed, and he had returned to the bank of Tianchi Lake. He stretched out his arm, and suddenly, a piece of black ice in the distance was sucked in front of him, rolling and falling.
A curled-up figure was sealed in the black ice. The person inside saw a strange face through the ice, and suddenly, hope and pleading appeared in his dim eyes.
Anyone who saw him would never have imagined that he was one of the four divine emperors of the Eastern Region who once dominated the divine world.
Without saying a word to him, or even looking at him, Yun Che flicked his finger and threw the piece of profound ice directly into the Primordial Profound Ark.
At this time, a strange aura came from outside the Dark Frost Lake. Yun Che glanced to the side. He did not leave or hide. He touched the Niyuan Stone with his finger to restore his original aura. He also wiped his palm on his face to restore his true appearance.
Soon, the barrier of the Minghantian Lake opened again, and then closed immediately, and a fairy figure of ice and snow appeared in front of him.
Mu Bingyun.
Originally, only he and Mu Xuanyin could open the barrier of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake. Now, Mu Bingyun could also open it. Obviously, when Mu Xuanyin left, he had left his Sect Master's Inscription Jade behind... He left with the intention of dying.
Yun Che and Mu Bingyun’s eyes met in mid-air. It was only a few days since they last met, but it felt as if they were in a different world.
She looked at Yun Che, her towering chest rising and falling violently under her snow-white dress, and her icy eyes trembled with too complicated colors: “You… dare to come back!”
“I’ll send her back.” Yun Che replied. He walked towards Mu Bingyun and held up a snow-white long sword in his hand: “This is her favorite sword, and it is also the symbol of the Ice Phoenix Sect Master… Please accept it, Palace Master Bingyun.”
Looking at the icy-glowing Snow Princess Sword, Mu Bingyun’s eyes were instantly filled with mist… The Snow Princess Sword had returned, but there was no Mu Xuanyin in the Snow Song Realm anymore. She had also lost her most important and only relative forever.
She stretched out her snowy hand and grasped the Snow Sword with trembling hands. It seemed that her breath was still lingering on it... Mu Bingyun's body was shaking. It had been several days since she heard the bad news. She thought she had accepted it, but at this moment, her heart and soul were still in so much pain that they were about to be torn apart.
Bang!!
She swung her arm out, and the back of her jade-white hand gave Yun Che a hard slap in the face.
Yun Che did not dodge or resist, allowing the blood and severe pain to spread across his face.
“…” Mu Bingyun’s hand froze in the air. Looking at Yun Che’s terrifyingly calm expression, which did not even show a trace of pain, she did not vent her anger at all. Instead, her heart was hurting even more.
The most painful thing in this world is loss, and what is more painful than loss is betrayal.
And he…had experienced all the losses and the greatest betrayal in the world.
No one was more painful and resentful about Mu Xuanyin's departure than him...especially, the resentment towards himself.
Her palms began to tremble, and she unconsciously wanted to touch the red marks on his face...but in the end, she slowly let them drop.
Sister, if you were allowed to choose again, would you let him enter your world again...
If I could choose again, would I... bring him to the God Realm...
“Palace Master Bingyun,” Yun Che said softly, “The Snow Song Realm will most likely be affected by me. Even if it’s not because of me, many old grudges with other star realms will erupt because of Xuanyin’s departure… So, you should leave as soon as possible.”
Holding the Snow Princess Sword tightly, Mu Bingyun looked at him and whispered, “Even if I die, I will die in the Snow Song Realm.”
It was a completely expected answer. Yun Che nodded gently, said nothing more, and turned away.
“Yun Che!” Mu Bingyun’s voice could be heard from behind him: “Remember, your life was bought by your sister with her own life. I will not allow you to die!”
"Even if it's for revenge, you must live well!"
"If you dare to sacrifice your own life for others as you have done in the past...I will not forgive you, and neither will I!!"
Without a response, Yun Che left the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake, and his figure and aura completely disappeared from Mu Bingyun’s sight and perception.
In the quiet Tianchi area, Mu Bingyun gently held the Snow Princess Sword against her chest... Unconsciously, a crystal teardrop fell silently, leaving a long wet mark on the jade-white sword.
She stretched out her fingers and gently wiped away the wet mark. When she raised her head, her icy eyes were filled with a cold light of determination.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could never do as well as her sister.
Without Mu Xuanyin, the Snow Song Realm would be hit by countless crises that would never have happened before.
However, she would not compromise or escape. Tomorrow, she would succeed the Ice Phoenix Sect Master and Snow Song Realm King. As long as she was still alive, she would never let the Snow Song Realm be harmed in the slightest!
She put away the Snow Princess Sword, and her icy shadow floated up and slowly left...
And just as she was leaving the Minghan Tianchi, a strange icy light suddenly shone in the center of the quiet and silent Tianchi.
It was a complete ice phoenix pattern, shining from nowhere. It was clearly just a projection, but it was so rich that it seemed real. The icy light it released was so bright that it seemed like the light of a god that should not exist in the world.
However, its existence was extremely short-lived. It dissipated after a few breaths and never appeared again.
…
…
One month later.
The God Realm’s pursuit of Yun Che has been ongoing. As time goes by, the intensity has not slowed down, but has increased day by day. The scope has also quickly spread from the three God Realms to the increasingly vast lower realms. Various types of detecting instruments have also been distributed in various areas, searching for Yun Che’s aura.
The scale of the event was no smaller than the one when they were searching for the Evil Infant back then, and it was so large that countless profound practitioners were shocked and puzzled.
However, such an exaggerated search did not find any trace of Yun Che's aura.
The Heavenly Killing Star God was already very good at hiding, and after becoming an evil infant, she became even more powerful. It was indeed difficult to detect her aura. Although Yun Che was extremely strong among the younger generation, this was a comprehensive hunt led by the king realm. With his aura and cultivation at the God King level, how could he have escaped for so long!
It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world. Gradually, more and more people began to wonder if he had committed suicide under tremendous pressure and despair.
However, they could never have imagined in their wildest dreams that the person they were searching for had passed through the spiritual perceptions and searching instruments of one king realm powerhouse after another countless times during this month. However, no matter whether it was the person or the mysterious instrument, the aura on him had never hesitated or lingered.
He stepped out of the Eastern Divine Region, stepped out of the East, headed north, and came to a strange world he had never set foot in.
It was also during this period that the news of the Brahma Emperor Goddess's defection to the Brahma Emperor God Realm spread quickly, also causing countless shocks and tremors.
With one strange thing after another, even the lowest-level and most insensitive Xuanists could vaguely smell the scent of a change.
In the far north, there is a world shrouded in darkness.
Step…step…step…
This is an exceptionally quiet jungle. The footsteps, which are not heavy at all, are creepy when they sound here.
The earth here is black, the sky is a depressing grayish-white, and even the sparse dead trees and vegetation are a dark grayish-black.
Even the air is gray...and this is not just an occasional fog, but has been like this since ancient times.
This is a world that is not suitable for ordinary creatures to survive. Even if a Shinto mystic comes here, he will feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable in a short period of time, and his emotions will become irritable, panic, and even out of control.
Lifespans would slip away silently, as if being devoured by something. Even the profound energy seemed to be restrained by an invisible ghost, and it was much more difficult and arduous to circulate than usual.
Therefore, no mysterious person from the three divine realms of the East, West, and South has ever been willing to step into this world.
In this dim and desolate world, a figure walked slowly out of the black fog. His arrival did not bring the vitality that should have been there to the world, but instead made it more depressing and eerie.
Because his eyes and the faint aura on him were even more dead and dark than this world.
Just like a lonely ghost who came back alive from the bottom of hell.
"North...Shen...realm..."
In the center of the dark forest, he stopped. Facing the strange and terrifying world, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a sinister smile.
At that moment, even the black fog that had existed here since ancient times condensed.
