The Little Demon Queen used her profound energy to its fullest. Even though she was carrying six people, her speed was still extremely fast. Before they knew it, they had flown hundreds of miles.
At this time, the Little Demon Empress slowed down and suddenly asked, “Yun Che has a wife who was married to him in a formal ceremony in the Profound Sky Continent. She is also a princess of a country. Where is she?”
“It’s Sister Cang Yue.” Feng Xue’er said, “But she is no longer a princess now, but the emperor of Blue Wind Nation, and she is in the Imperial City.”
"..." The Little Demon Queen turned around and said, "Tell me the direction. Let's go to the Imperial City first!"
At that moment, the Little Demon Queen changed direction and arrived at Blue Wind Imperial City. She rushed directly into the Imperial Palace. Without any explanation, she forcefully swept away Cang Yue, who had no idea what was happening. Then she headed straight north, heading towards the Ice Pole Snow Region.
Today, the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is as cold and quiet as ever. Anyone who comes here will feel as calm as the endless ice and snow here.
All the women in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had deep respect, gratitude, and reliance on Yun Che. As for Feng Xue'er, none of them did not like her from the bottom of their hearts. Their engagement was also a great joyous event for Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, but they had no idea that the situation had changed dramatically.
At dusk, an extremely terrifying wind wave suddenly rolled up in the peaceful and snowy southern part of the Ice Extreme Snow Region. Murong Qianxue and others from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace were startled almost at the same time, and then quickly gathered together and rushed out of the palace gate.
"Who is it?!" Murong Qianxue shouted, and the sound was transmitted dozens of miles away under the influence of the profound energy. But the next moment, several figures appeared in front of them as if they had teleported.
Behind us, there were cold wind and snow waves hundreds of feet high.
“My fellow masters, please… hurry and take us to the Cold Pond!” Feng Xue’er jumped down from the sky while holding Yun Che in her arms. She shouted hastily without any time to explain.
"Princess Xue? Who... are they?" Murong Qianxue and the others were stunned for a moment. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace rarely allowed outsiders to enter, and it had been like this for thousands of years. Although Yun Che was the Palace Master, out of respect for Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, he rarely brought outsiders here. Apart from Feng Xue'er, he had only brought Xiao Yun here - and that was for an important reason.
But this time, Feng Xue'er brought so many new faces with her. Most importantly, today was the engagement day of their Palace Master and Feng Xue'er, so why did she come back so suddenly?
But the surprise only lasted for a moment, and they suddenly discovered that the person in Feng Xue'er's arms was actually Yun Che. All six of them were struck by lightning and surrounded him in fear: "Palace...Palace Master!? What happened! Who hurt the Palace Master..."
“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” The Little Demon Queen said coldly, “If you don’t want him to die, take us to a place called Ice Cloud Cold Pond right away.”
“Master, Master… hurry up… there’s only one place that can save Brother Yun.” Feng Xue’er said in a tearful voice.
“Come with us!” Murong Qianxue didn’t ask another question. She fully opened up her profound energy and turned around. She waved her palm and instantly lifted all the restrictions on the palace gate. She rushed forward at the fastest speed. At the same time, her cold and trembling voice spread throughout the entire Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace: “Wu Xuexin, Shui Hanyin… and all the disciples near the cold pond, listen to my order. Go and remove all the restrictions around the cold pond. This matter concerns the life and death of the Palace Master. There is no time to waste!!”
Since the last disaster, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has re-established many restrictions, especially around the Frozen Cloud Frost Pond in the core. These restrictions are so strong that even if Feng Xue'er wanted to break them by force, it would take a lot of time and effort.
However, from the palace gate to the cold pond, all the restrictions were removed by Murong Qianxue and the other six in the most brutal way. When they rushed to the center of the Ice Palace, the restrictions around the cold pond were also all removed. Feeling the dense and extremely cold air, the Little Demon Queen directly grabbed Yun Che from Feng Xue'er's hands, and in an instant, threw him into the cold pond that was rising with white mist.
“Little Demon Queen…Sister, can we really save Brother Yun like this?” Feng Xue’er asked timidly and worriedly.
"..." The Little Demon Queen was silent, then she said in a low voice, "A year ago, he was severely injured by the attack of Prince Huai, and was forced into the Sea of Death with me. The Sea of Death is supposed to kill anyone who touches it, but he was not only unharmed, but his injuries also healed quickly. When I asked him about it later, he once said that the pure power of fire not only could not hurt him, but he could also absorb it to quickly restore his vitality and profound energy. At the same time, he also mentioned that it was not just fire, but ice that was also like this."
“Although the power density and level of this cold pond cannot be compared with the Sea of Death, it does contain extremely pure and strong icy power, so I am not too disappointed.”
“So, Brother Yun… Brother Yun can be saved?” Feng Xue’er asked excitedly.
The Little Demon Queen stared at Yun Che who had sunk into the water. Her voice was as cold as frost. “The power that injured him was extremely high, and it is still inside his body. My power cannot even dispel that power, let alone repair his injuries. It is impossible to save him with just this cold pond. In this cold pond, he may still die in the next breath... What I hope is that this cold pond can give him more vitality, so that he can wake up once more before he dies, and then activate the Primordial Profound Ark to return to the Illusory Demon Realm... This is the only hope.”
Murong Qianxue and the other six were already dumbfounded after hearing what they heard. Chu Yueli stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Princess Xue, what happened? Who... who hurt the Palace Master?"
“I don’t know.” Feng Xue’er shook her head in pain: “I was right next to Brother Yun at the time, but I didn’t see who murdered Brother Yun.”
"You should retreat. We don't need too many people here." The Little Demon Queen ordered. Every word she said carried a kind of coercion that no one could disobey. The Six Ice Cloud Immortals had all achieved Overlord status, but under this coercion, they could hardly breathe, but at the same time, none of them left.
“The people outside the palace gates right now are all Yun Che’s relatives. You should go and settle them down. Especially since the three of them have low profound strength and simply cannot withstand the icy cold here.” The Little Demon Queen said coldly.
Feng Xue'er finally woke up from her dream and said anxiously, "Ah... Grandpa Xiao, Auntie, and Sister Cangyue are still outside. If they stay here for too long, they will definitely get frostbite. Uncles and uncles, please go and take care of Grandpa Xiao and the others. We will stay here and guard Brother Yun."
Murong Qianxue hesitated briefly, then nodded slowly: "Okay... If the Palace Master wakes up, you must notify us immediately."
"Hanyue, immediately go and seal all the palace gates and activate the defensive formation. Hanxue, go to Ningxue Palace and get all the healing jade liquids! Lianqi Lanyi, tell all the disciples to be on guard day and night. Yueli, let's go."
Murong Qianxue knew very well that the situation was not just as simple as Yun Che being severely injured and possibly dying at any time. The crisis hidden behind it must be much more terrifying than the previous disaster.
The Six Frozen Cloud Immortals left, and the Little Demon Queen turned around. Her eyes, like those of the stars in the dark night, looked at Feng Xue'er. It was the first time she truly sized her up. "Your name is Feng Xue'er?"
“Yes.” Feng Xue’er nodded gently. “Little Demon Queen Sister, I often hear Brother Yun mention you. I also know that Brother Yun had already married you when he was in the Illusory Demon Realm.”
"...You really didn't see who hurt him?"
“No.” Feng Xue’er shook her head in disappointment. “I was right beside Brother Yun at the time. Father, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa were also there, but none of us knew what happened. I only heard Brother Yun yelling and then pushing me away. When I turned around, Brother Yun was already… already…”
"..." The Little Demon Queen was silent for a long time, then she said indifferently: "Tell me everything that happened after he returned to this continent. Tell me as much as you know, and don't leave out anything."
“Yes.” Feng Xue’er agreed without any hesitation.
In the Little Demon Queen, she saw the strength that caused the Three Holy Lords to collapse, the suffocating pressure and indifference. Even when facing Yun Che, who could die at any time, she remained calm and had no emotional fluctuations, so calm that it seemed as if his life or death did not matter to her at all.
However, she saw clearly that from the first moment she saw the Little Demon Queen, all her actions, words, and even her terrifying calmness, not a single moment was not for Yun Che.
Her aura was suffocating, but it also made Feng Xue'er, who was at a loss, find great trust and even dependence in her.
————————————
The Ice Cloud Cold Pond has existed much longer than the Ice Cloud Fairy Palace. It is located at the core of the Ice Cloud Fairy Palace, and also at the core of the Ice Extreme Snow Region. It is in the extremely cold land, but it has never frozen. Its spring water is extremely clear, and you can see every grain of sand and stone at the bottom of the spring clearly. The cold air contained in it is far better than the black ice. This is usually the place where the Ice Cloud women take a bath. Soaking in it can calm the mind and calm the restless cold air.
During these days, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace was on alert day and night, and the Ice Cloud Cold Pond had become the largest forbidden area. Not only were no Ice Cloud disciples allowed to approach, but even the sound was strictly blocked.
The already cold and deserted Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace had become eerily quiet these days, shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of oppression.
One day... two days... three days... seven days... ten days...
During the ten days, Yun Che's body had been quietly submerged in the cold pond. In this cold pond, even if it was a dead body, it would not have changed in the past ten million years. During these ten days, the Little Demon Queen had been staying above the cold pond and had never left. Her aura had also always been connected to Yun Che's body and had not deviated even for a moment.
Ten days passed, and Yun Che showed no signs of movement, let alone waking up. His extremely serious injuries had not healed at all, and the last bit of life was as weak as it was ten days ago, but it remained in his body with great tenacity, never completely disintegrating, and it struggled to retain the last glimmer of hope.
