Xiao Lingxi barely slept for ten days. She spent most of her time in a daze. Occasionally, she would fall asleep unconsciously in a daze, but would be immediately awakened by nightmares.
The freezing cold of the Ice and Snow Region was definitely not something Xiao Lingxi could endure, so most of the time, she, Cang Yue, and Xiao Lie could only stay in the special barrier set up by Feng Xue'er. It was difficult for them to move around in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace for a long time, and it was even more of a luxury to want to get close to the extremely cold Frozen Cloud Pond to take a look at Yun Che.
"Xiao Che..." She huddled in the corner of the room, muttering absentmindedly. At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Cang Yue walked in slowly.
Xiao Lingxi raised her head suddenly, then stood up and rushed forward as if she had been electrocuted, and threw herself into Cangyue’s arms: “Sister Cangyue, how is Xiaoche… has he woken up… has he woken up…”
"Lingxi, don't get excited." Cangyue quickly supported her, and then comforted her softly: "He will wake up and he will definitely get better. Big Brother Tianxia said that if someone else had such an injury, they would have died ten thousand times, but my husband is still tenaciously alive. Have you forgotten... So many times before, we thought we would never see him again, but he always appeared in front of us in good condition. This time, he will definitely wake up and get better safely like before."
“I… I know, I know…” Xiao Lingxi sobbed softly, “I just hate myself for being so useless. I can’t do anything. I can’t help Xiao Che at all. Now I can’t even go and take a look at him. I… I…”
“Taking good care of yourself is the greatest help and comfort to him.” Cang Yue tried her best to show a warm smile, and then helped Xiao Lingxi sit down: “My husband is trying so hard to live because he can’t bear to leave you and us. So don’t let you collapse again when my husband wakes up, or he will be worried to death.”
Xiao Lingxi bit her lip with tears in her eyes, then nodded gently: "Yes... I know, I'm fine... I've always taken good care of myself. Sister Cangyue, you should take a good rest. These days, you've rested even less than me, and you've been comforting me all the time. You're still the emperor, there must be a lot of things going on in the imperial city..."
Cang Yue shook her head gently: "Don't worry, I have already sent a message to Lord Dongfang to let him handle the government affairs on my behalf. Lingxi, relax and have a good sleep. Maybe when you wake up, your Xiao Che will wake up with you."
“Okay…” This time, Xiao Lingxi responded very obediently. She stood up and said, “I’ll go check on Dad first. He hasn’t slept much these days and hasn’t eaten much either. Xiao Yun and Seventh Sister couldn’t persuade him with his great-grandson. If he continues like this, he won’t be able to bear it.”
Although Xiao Lie's biological grandson is Xiao Yun, not Yun Che, he raised Yun Che for sixteen years, protected him from wind and rain for sixteen years, and Yun Che also stayed by his side for sixteen years. Although they are not related by blood, the feelings they have had for sixteen years are no less than those of blood relatives.
"I'll go with you."
The two girls were about to go visit Xiao Lie together when they suddenly felt the light in front of them suddenly dim, as if the scorching sun in the sky was suddenly blocked.
But the ice and snow region never sees the sun or the moon all year round, and the sky is always white. How could it suddenly become cloudy?
Above the Frozen Cloud Pond, the Little Demon Queen, who was as calm as an ice sculpture, suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the sky.
The pale sky illuminated by endless ice and snow was suddenly covered with a layer of gray and dim. An extremely oppressive atmosphere overturned, making the originally cold snowy area covered with a layer of heart-pounding silence.
"What happened?"
All the Ice Cloud disciples were alarmed by this sudden change. The Ice Cloud Six Immortals soared into the sky and looked at the sky and the surroundings. They felt extremely depressed and uneasy. The climate of the Ice Pole Snow Region has been monotonous since ancient times, and there has never been such a scene. Moreover, this kind of oppressive feeling that makes people feel cold all over should not be caused by the climate...
This is clearly the aura of profound energy!!
"This is..." Xiao Yun also appeared in the air. He whispered doubtfully, "Wait! Does this aura seem familiar to you?"
"It does seem familiar." Number One Under Heaven said in a deep voice.
“It’s Fen Juechen!” Feng Xue’er suddenly shouted, “A few months ago, Brother Yun and Fen Juechen fought in the East China Sea, and Fen Juechen had this kind of powerful aura!”
“Him?” Xiao Yun and Number One Under Heaven were stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. Number One Under Heaven said, “Yes, this feeling is indeed very similar to Fen Juechen’s aura… But, there’s something wrong! Although it’s the same aura of power, it doesn’t seem to give me the same feeling.”
But he couldn't tell what was different.
"Look... look over there!" Number Seven Under Heaven suddenly exclaimed.
Xiao Yun and Number One Under Heaven looked towards the north at the same time, and suddenly saw that the sky in the north had turned into a terrifying black color. And this black color was spreading towards Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace at a very fast speed.
“Hiss…” Number One Under Heaven took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go!!”
“Seventh sister, you stay here and protect grandpa and little aunt!” Xiao Yun hurriedly reminded them, and flew out of the palace gate with Number One Under Heaven and Feng Xue’er.
At the same time, Murong Qianxue, Jun Lianqie, Mu Lanyi, Chu Yueli, Feng Hanyue, and Feng Hanyue had also brought a group of Bingyun disciples to the outside of the palace gate. Their faces were covered with frost, and the snow swords in their hands were flashing with cold light, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Black clouds rolled in from the northern sky, making the light even dimmer, and the oppressive, cold aura intensified with every breath. These Ice Cloud women practiced the Ice Cloud Technique and lived in the ice and snow region for a long time. They were not afraid of the severe cold at all, but under the approaching aura, their whole bodies felt cold, and their hearts and souls trembled uncontrollably.
“This… is this really the aura of profound energy?” Chu Yueli said in disbelief: “How can there be such profound energy… The most sinister profound skills recorded in my palace are not even to this extent.”
"Do you know who the other party is?" Murong Qianxue asked. She also couldn't believe that this aura was released by one person.
“I’m not completely sure. But no matter who the other side is, there’s no need to worry.” Number One Under Heaven said confidently, “With the Little Demon Queen here, if the other side is an enemy, no matter who it is, they’re courting death!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden flash of light in front of him, and a petite girl in colorful glass clothes stepped on the ice and snow. Her face was like ice jade, her eyes were like cold stars, and she did not bring up a trace of cold wind.
“Little Demon Queen Sister.” Feng Xue’er exclaimed in surprise, but she immediately thought that if the Little Demon Queen came here, Yun Che would not be able to be guarded, so she said worriedly, “What about Brother Yun…”
“Everyone, step back!!” The Little Demon Queen suddenly raised her hand and a blizzard arose, pushing everyone back dozens of positions, while she herself was already hundreds of feet ahead.
At this time, the rolling black clouds in the sky finally approached their eyes, and then slowly rolled in the sky in front of them, no longer moving forward, and an extremely depressing and gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
“Playing tricks.” The Little Demon Queen muttered coldly. She flipped her palm. No trace of profound energy flowing from her body was seen. A golden flame exploded in the dark clouds above, creating a boiling sea of fire in the darkening sky. “Get out!!”
The sea of fire raged, devouring most of the black cloud in the blink of an eye. The other half of the black cloud sank from the sky, all the way to the front of the Little Demon Queen, and then slowly dispersed amidst the wild laughter.
“Hahahahahaha… It really is worthy of being the Golden Crow Divine Flame. It really didn’t disappoint me.”
In the dispersed black fog, a tall but somewhat thin figure walked out slowly.
He was in his twenties, dressed in black, with long black hair and dark pupils. He looked at the Little Demon Queen with a cold and cold smile that made people feel uncomfortable. “Nice to meet you, Little Demon Queen from the Illusory Demon Realm. Welcome to the Profound Sky Continent.”
Little Demon Queen: “…”
“Fen…Fen Juechen!? It’s really him!” Feng Xue’er covered her lips, not daring to believe her eyes. The person who walked out of the black fog was undoubtedly Fen Juechen.
"No! That's not right!" Number One Under Heaven suddenly said, "He is not Fen Juechen! Although he looks exactly the same, the feeling he gives me... is completely different from Fen Juechen! Even his voice is different... Who are you? Who are you? Why did you disguise yourself as Fen Juechen!?"
It wasn't that Tianxiadiyi was very familiar with Fen Juechen, but Fen Juechen was a person with an extreme personality, so his characteristics were too obvious. Fen Juechen's eyes were cold, ruthless, and arrogant, and they also revealed a heavy loneliness that made people sad, like a lone wolf with nothing.
Although the man in front of him had the same appearance and figure as Fen Juechen, and a very similar aura of profound strength, he did not show arrogance, but a kind of indomitable arrogance. His eyes, aura, and the curve of his mouth were completely different from the Fen Juechen he knew.
The most noticeable thing was the difference in the voice. And with Fen Juechen's temperament, he would never laugh wildly like he did just now.
“Hahahaha,” “Fen Juechen” laughed again, nodding his head in appreciation: “As expected of the young master of the elves, you have a keen sense of touch. It would be a pity if you were to die in this icy and snowy place today.”
Number One Under Heaven's expression changed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat... He had previously called out the identity of the "Little Demon Queen", and now, unexpectedly, he called out his name and identity with incredible accuracy!
Fen Juechen raised his hand and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then why don't you guess who I am?"
This voice was not unfamiliar. More than one person present had heard it before. After the initial shock, this voice suddenly overlapped with a figure in their minds.
“You are… Xuanyuan Wentian!!” Feng Xue’er and Xiao Yun shouted in surprise at the same time.
“Hey…” Fen Juechen… no, it was Xuanyuan Wentian who curled his lips, the tilted arc was even more dangerous and wanton, his voice was arrogant and leisurely: “A perfect answer. Yes, it is me. By the way, I would like to remind you that you don’t have to call me Xuanyuan Sword Master anymore. Instead, you have to call me… Supreme Heavenly Lord!”
"Actually, actually..." Hearing his personal admission, Xiao Yun's eyes widened, still unable to believe what he saw and heard.
“Supreme Heavenly Sovereign? Ha, what a big tone.” Number One Under Heaven sneered, “I’ve heard of Xuanyuan Wentian’s name a long time ago. I didn’t expect that he was not only so arrogant and presumptuous, but also so cunning and disguised himself as someone else. It’s simply hilarious.”
Number One Under Heaven was sarcastic, and although he was on guard, he did not feel much of a sense of crisis. This was because he was absolutely certain that the Little Demon Queen was an absolutely invincible existence in this world. Not to mention Xuanyuan Wentian, even if the Four Saint Lords of the Profound Sky Continent came together, they would be defeated in front of the Little Demon Queen.
But he did not notice that although the Little Demon Queen's snow-white face was cold and calm, there was a deep heaviness in her cold eyes, and her two small hands were not relaxed, but tightly clenched together.
“Change face? Hehehe, hahahaha.” Xuanyuan Wentian was not angry at all. Or rather, for him now, there was nothing in this world that was worthy of making him angry: “No, no, no, this deity gave him a great reward. He was asked to offer his body to this deity, and then look down on this humble world together with this deity.”
"This is a great fortune that he obtained at the cost of the destruction of two clans and two lives. Tsk, it's so difficult."
