As soon as Ling Yuefeng left, Ling Jie came to Yun Che in one swift step: "Boss! How about our group? Although this is my first time here, my father told me a lot about this place, and there are many things that can be used. I promise not to hold you back!"
Although he said “not to hold you back”, his real intention was obviously to protect Yun Che. After all, Yun Che’s current state would be too dangerous if he were to go alone.
Yun Che was naturally very touched by Ling Jie's kindness, but he waved his hand to refuse, saying: "No need, since it is a training, it is better to go alone. Especially you, Xiao Jie, although you have good talent and your sword will and sword heart are also top-notch, but you have always been in Tianjian Villa. What you lack most is this kind of experience of facing danger alone. If you go with me, the effect of your training this time will be greatly reduced."
"But, but..."
“No buts.” Yun Che stretched out his hand and pinched his chin: “You promised to be my little brother yourself. Why, you don’t listen to my first decision?”
“Uh…” Ling Jie, who was simple-minded and not very good at thinking, was blocked by Yun Che’s words. After struggling for a long time, he had no choice but to say, “Okay then. Boss, you must be careful. My father’s words before were really not to scare you.”
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who will die so easily. Besides, I'm wearing a dragon scale armor." Yun Che pinched the corner of his clothes, revealing a piece of dragon scale that reflected a cold light. As a reward for the first place in the ranking battle, although Tianjian Villa was very reluctant, they had to grit their teeth and endure the pain to give this Tianxuan armor that originally belonged to them to Qin Wushang. Qin Wushang gave him this dragon scale armor yesterday, and he wore it directly today.
The dragon scale armor is only a thin layer. It is neither cold nor heavy when worn, and it will adjust to the wearer's body shape. This armor is a well-deserved life-saving device. As he expected, when he showed his dragon scale armor, more than a dozen greedy and jealous eyes shot at him.
Ling Jie turned to Ling Yun and said, "Brother, my boss said that it's best for me to act alone, so I won't go with you. I'm leaving first... Boss, you must be careful. Otherwise, my beautiful princess sister will be alone... Ah ah! I'm leaving!"
Ling Jie summoned the Tianyang Sword, straightened his chest, gathered his strength, and walked forward alone. Ling Yun nodded to Yun Che, and glanced at Xia Qingyue's position seemingly inadvertently. After taking a few steps forward, he finally took a deep breath, walked in front of Xia Qingyue, and said politely: "Fairy Xia, how about we travel together? I came here three years ago, and I am more or less familiar with this place. There are many dangers here. If we travel together, we will not only be able to deal with any danger, but also reach further places. If we find any treasures, Fairy Xia will have the first choice, how about it?"
Not far away, Fen Juecheng and Xiao Kuangyu both looked surprised. They had also entered the Tianchi Secret Realm three years ago. At that time, Ling Yun went alone and did not give anyone the opportunity to travel with him. But now, he actually took the initiative to travel with someone, and his words sounded like a request.
Anyone who is not an idiot knows what he is thinking.
"Thank you for Young Master Ling's kindness. Qingyue has decided to go alone." Faced with Ling Yun's active invitation, Xia Qingyue refused without hesitation.
Ling Yun had no more than five young people who had actively invited him out, and this was the first time he had been rejected. Ling Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he no longer insisted, nodding: "In that case, Fairy Xia, please be careful."
After saying that, Ling Yun also left alone, and his figure quickly disappeared in the flying snow.
Even Ling Yun was rejected. Xiao Kuangyu, who was eager to try, gritted his teeth, struggled for a long time, and finally chose to give up. As for the others, no one dared to try. Even Xiao Kuanglei, the son of the Xiao Sect's leader, could not muster the courage to talk to Xia Qingyue. With the strength she showed in the ranking battle, she was definitely one level better than them. These disciples of the big sects were all in a superior position outside, and they could do anything. But in front of Xia Qingyue, they all felt that they could not raise their heads at all.
Putting aside other things, just based on their strength, they are not qualified to travel with Xia Qingyue.
Yun Che, who was alone, glanced around and walked slowly in a random direction without saying hello to anyone.
“Junior Sister Xia, we’re leaving first. You must be careful.” Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin said hello and left together. Xia Qingyue nodded and watched them leave. Then she glanced at the direction where Yun Che left, with a complex look in her eyes, and then she walked towards the north alone.
The entire world was covered in flying snow, and the only thing that could be used to identify the direction was the towering icy peaks. Yun Che moved forward, and even though he had profound energy to protect his body, he was still shivering from the cold.
"It's either ice or snow here. There's not even a trace of the 'Heavenly Lake'. How can there be natural treasures in a place like this? Even if there are, they must have been buried by ice and snow long ago... Oh, it's so cold."
Yun Che had been walking for more than half an hour, but he still only saw endless snowfields and flying snow all over the sky, without any gains. This was completely different from the scene he had expected, where there were exotic flowers and plants everywhere, strange rocks and jade piled up, and mountains and dense forests everywhere. Moreover, after walking for so long, he didn't even see the shadow of a profound beast!
This is not about finding rare treasures, it's just about suffering!
"The existence of this small world is very strange." Jasmine murmured.
"weird?"
"This small world is indeed artificially created, and its power level is extremely high. It should have existed for a long time, so it is not surprising that it has produced some low-level and medium-level treasures... The weird thing is that such a small world should not appear in such a place, because it is not something that can be created by the power of this plane."
"It may have been left behind by a powerful person a long, long time ago." Yun Che said casually. He didn't care about the origin of this Tianhe Secret Realm. He walked slowly and suddenly asked, "Jasmine, how many people are following me?"
"Four," Jasmine replied.
“Four?” Yun Che was startled. This number did not match what he had expected.
"There will always be enemies around you who want to kill you. Don't you want to think about why?" Jasmine said coldly.
“No! These people can’t be called enemies at all.” Yun Che shook his finger and sneered, “They are just a bunch of stepping stones seeking their own death!”
"Among these four people, three are here to kill you, but the other one doesn't seem to be here. Instead, he may be here to save you." Jasmine said.
"Hmm? Save me? Who?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Yun Che’s pace gradually slowed down. He lowered his brows and pondered for a while before saying, “Jasmine, later, help me kill someone.”
"Can!"
Jasmine agreed so readily that Yun Che was stunned for a moment. Every time Jasmine attacked, the poison in her body would spread, so she would never attack unless it was a life-or-death moment and the enemy was someone Yun Che could never deal with. But this time, as soon as Yun Che opened his mouth, she agreed directly, which made Yun Che feel uneasy. He said weakly, "Uh... don't you have any other... additional conditions?"
“Of course!” Jasmine’s voice gradually hardened. “You know best your current physical condition. This small world is also a perfect place to kill people without any trouble. You know best who might kill you here. But you still dare to come here, all because of my existence! I have to kill the person you asked me to kill, otherwise, you will die, and I will be implicated in my death.”
“I remember you once said that you would never become dependent on my power. But you seem to have completely forgotten what you said. When you do many things and measure your own abilities, you will also take my power into account. When my power can be used, you will not encounter any real danger in the entire Profound Sky Continent. This potential dependence in your heart will greatly hinder your growth…” Jasmine spoke every word in a very serious tone, and her tone was like that of a great master who had experienced countless hardships and was teaching his younger disciples.
Yun Che agreed with a small part of Jasmine's words. For example, this time, he didn't want to give up the opportunity to explore the secret realm of Tianchi, and if it weren't for Jasmine's existence, he would never enter here with his current physical condition. Fen Juecheng was secondary. The key point was that he also felt the murderous intent towards him from Mu Tianbei.
As the current lord of Tianqiang Leihuo Fort, Mu Tianbei’s strength is no less than Qin Wushang.
“I will help you kill one last person, and then, I will seal my profound strength for a long period of time, and concentrate on expelling the poison with the Sky Poison Pearl. From now on, you can only rely on yourself for everything, don’t even think about counting on me.” Jasmine said coldly.
“… You don’t have to be so absolute, right?” Yun Che’s heart moved: “What if I encounter an irresistible life-threatening situation? If I die, you will also perish with me. Aren’t you afraid…”
“Humph! I’ve been attached to the Sky Poison Pearl for such a long time, and I’ve had the poison flare up several times because of forcefully exerting my strength. Up to now, the poison in my body has not been dispelled much compared to when I met you! Rather than having the poison flare up again and again with no hope of recovery, it’s better to just die and be done with it.” Jasmine said unhappily.
Yun Che opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly: “Okay, I understand. Besides, I also agree with your decision.”
At this time, two blurry figures suddenly appeared in the endless snowstorm ahead. As Yun Che walked forward slowly, the two figures became clearer and clearer in his sight.
When Yun Che saw the two people clearly, he stopped and showed his surprise as if he had met a companion in danger. He trotted forward and greeted them, “Isn’t this Master Fen and Brother Juebi? Why are you here? To be able to meet in this vast Tianchi secret realm, who dares to say that this is not a beautiful fate destined by heaven!!”
