"You should ask him about that." Mu Bingyun said, "After Yun Che left the Ice Profound Realm, his gaze shifted towards where I was hiding several times. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but it happened several times in a row, coupled with his eyes and overly unscrupulous behavior, the only explanation is that he knew of my existence from the beginning."
“Hehe,” Yun Che laughed, “In fact, Fairy Mu still has some of the scent of the… cough cough cough, the scent of the medicine I used to purify Fairy Mu’s poison. Others cannot detect this scent, but I am extremely sensitive, so I know it.”
The purifying power of the Sky Poison Pearl was invisible, colorless, and breathless, so no one would be able to detect it—except Yun Che, who had already merged with the Sky Poison Pearl.
“…” Mu Xiaolan opened her lips, completely speechless.
“So that’s how it is.” Mu Bingyun understood. She looked forward and said, “The Thirty-Six Ice Phoenix Palace is located in the Ice Phoenix City to the north of the Frost Snow City. You could have used the profound formation to teleport here, but since you are new here, I will take you there by flying so that you can get familiar with the terrain here.”
“Master, you are so nice to this bad guy.” Mu Xiaolan whispered, obviously a little jealous.
The Snow City was quite large. Not only did it have 108 Snow Palaces, but it also had a large number of places for training, trials, healing, meditation, and retreat. Mu Bingyun's speed was extremely fast, but it still took a long time to fly across the Snow City.
The further north one went, the colder the air became, the heavier and more powerful the ever-present pressure of ice and snow became, and the outline of Ice Phoenix City gradually came into view.
At this moment, a thunderous laughter suddenly came from the far south.
“Hahahaha—Yan Wancang has the audacity to come and ask to see the King of the Snow Song Realm to discuss matters that will benefit both our worlds for generations to come. I beg the King of the Snow Song Realm to show up and meet you.”
This burst of laughter and sound clearly came from a very far place, but it was like a series of world-destroying thunders ringing in Yun Che’s ears. It was so shocking that Yun Che’s eyes went dark, and the blood in his body was boiling and chaotic. His chest was even more stuffy and he almost vomited blood.
“Ahhhhhh!!” Mu Xiaolan covered her ears and screamed in fright.
This roar completely enveloped the enormous Ice Phoenix Realm. The space was shaking slightly, and the aura below suddenly changed. Countless disciples of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect came out in full force, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Fairy Mu, what's going on?"
After that voice fell, it did not continue to sound, but Yun Che's dizziness and discomfort did not disappear for a long time, and his heart was even more shocked.
Mu Bingyun's celestial figure paused, her brows slightly furrowed, but her expression and aura were quite calm: "It was a message from thirty thousand miles away. It seems that he doesn't have the courage to step into the core area of my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect."
“Three… ten thousand miles away?” Yun Che was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
Over 30,000 miles away... the sound alone was enough to make him almost vomit blood...
The gods are all a bunch of perverts! !
“Don’t be too surprised,” Mu Bingyun said, “This person named Yan Wancang is not an ordinary person, but the leader of the Suzaku Sect of the Flame God Realm. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one person in the Flame God Realm.”
Flame God Realm? Suzaku Sect Master?
Mu Bingyun flicked her snowy hand, and a touch of icy light enveloped Mu Xiaolan's body. Mu Xiaolan's complexion gradually improved. Mu Bingyun turned around, took Yun Che and Mu Xiaolan with her, and flew to the north: "He is here to find the Great Realm King. Let the Great Realm King deal with him. We don't need to pay attention to him."
“Oh,” Yun Che nodded, then thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: “Fairy Mu, it seems that you know why that person named Yan Wancang came here.”
"What other purpose could it have!" Mu Xiaolan asked, looking very angry: "It must be for that Qionglong again!!"
“That… horned dragon? What horned dragon?” Yun Che asked with a look of curiosity on his face.
Mu Bingyun did not hide anything and directly told him: "Although the climate and attributes of the Flame God Realm and our Snow Song Realm are opposite, they are closely adjacent. The formation of the Flame God Realm was due to an ancient flame vein. Because of the existence of this flame vein, the density and activity of the fire element in the Flame God Realm are extremely high, and the temperature is far beyond the limit that ordinary people can bear. However, it is a paradise for those who inherit the fire bloodline, fire beasts, and those who practice fire profound arts."
"The core area of the Flame Vein is a vast sea of fire that stretches for nearly a million miles. It is called the 'God Burial Fire Prison'."
God Burial Inferno Prison? Yun Che’s brows twitched… Why did he seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?
“The Flame Vein of the Flame God Realm, and the God Burial Inferno Hell that was created by the Flame Vein, both existed before the Flame God Realm was formed, that is, they were left over from the ancient times of the gods. The people of the Flame God Realm have supreme reverence for the Flame Vein and the God Burial Inferno Hell. At the same time, they have never stopped exploring the God Burial Inferno Hell for countless years. They have always believed that there must be some miracle at the bottom of the God Burial Inferno Hell that can transform the Flame God Realm. However, the God Burial Inferno Hell is a relic of the times of the gods, and it is simply not something that can be conquered by mortal bodies. Even the three great masters of the Flame God Realm have never been able to reach the bottom of the God Burial Inferno Hell.”
“The three great sect masters?” Yun Che asked in doubt: “Then, where is the Realm King?”
“The Flame God Realm doesn’t have a Realm King.” Mu Xiaolan curled her lips in disdain. “They made up their own rules. Whoever can reach the bottom of the God Burial Inferno Prison will be the Flame God Realm’s Realm King. So, for hundreds of thousands of years, the Flame God Realm has never had a Realm King, which has led to frequent infighting over the right to speak on major issues. Humph, they deserve it.”
“Oh… It sounds like they have a kind of obsession with conquering the God Burial Inferno Hell that is almost like a belief.” Yun Che tapped his chin and said, he would rather not have a Realm King for hundreds of thousands of years than abolish this rule. This obsession is indeed deep enough: “Then what about that Qionglong?”
"That is an ancient dragon that survived in the God Burial Inferno Prison!"
“Ancient times?” These two words shocked Yun Che, and he suddenly realized something.
"The earliest record of this ancient horned dragon in the Flame God Realm can be traced back to 600,000 years ago. In other words, it must have lived for at least 600,000 years! For a horned dragon that has lived for more than 600,000 years, even a piece of its whiskers must be a rare treasure. If we can hunt it down, it will be an indescribably huge reward."
“I see.” Yun Che nodded slowly.
“It seems like you’ve roughly understood it?” Mu Bingyun looked back and asked.
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded. “With a lifespan of more than 600,000 years, this horned dragon must be extremely powerful. Even if the Flame God Realm used all its strength, it would be impossible to hunt it down. In addition, the people of the Flame God Realm all practice fire-related profound arts. Since this ancient horned dragon lives in the God Burial Fire Prison, it can only be a fire dragon. Although the Flame God Realm has a great advantage in resisting its attacks, their flame power will also be greatly reduced on the ancient horned dragon.”
“And the most effective way to deal with creatures with the attribute of fire is naturally the power of ice. Therefore, the Flame God Realm wants to borrow the power of the Snow Song Realm.”
Mu Bingyun smiled slightly: "You are indeed very smart."
“However,” Yun Che frowned, “Since that ancient horned dragon lives in the God Burial Fire Prison, if it encounters any danger, it can directly drill into the God Burial Fire Prison…”
“You’re right. It’s absolutely invincible in the God Burial Inferno Prison.” Mu Bingyun explained, “Normally, it almost never leaves the God Burial Inferno Prison. But, it’s a dragon after all. Every thousand years, it will shed its old scales and grow new ones. And during this thousand-year molting process, it must leave the God Burial Inferno Prison. And this is the only chance to hunt it down in a thousand years.”
“After realizing that it was impossible to succeed relying on their own strength, they began to think of using the power of the Snow Song Realm, and promised that after the hunt was successful, the Flame God Realm and the Snow Song Realm would each take half.”
At this point, Mu Bingyun thought of something and sighed.
“Hmph! These despicable and hateful guys actually have the nerve to come again!” Mu Xiaolan said angrily: “Back then, Master and the Great Realm King were kind enough to help the Flame God Realm, but… but… it was so hateful! I didn’t expect them to be so shameless. If they dare to come to our Snow Song Realm this time, the Great Realm King will definitely teach them a lesson.”
Yun Che’s expression changed… The ancient horned dragon of the God Burial Inferno Prison sheds its scales once every thousand years. The fact that the people of the Flame God Realm are now looking for the Snow Song Realm King means that its next shed scales are coming soon, which means that the last time it shed its scales was a thousand years ago.
Mu Bingyun was poisoned by a deadly flame and fled to the Profound Sky Continent a thousand years ago...
“So, the flame poison that Fairy Mu was infected with was the result of a conspiracy you encountered when you went to the Flame God Realm to help them hunt the ancient horned dragon a thousand years ago?” Yun Che asked in doubt.
“That’s it!” Thinking of the suffering her master had endured over the years, Mu Xiaolan became so angry that her face turned red all the way to her neck.
“This matter is hard to explain in a few words.” Mu Bingyun’s eyes were dim.
Yun Che had always noticed that, regarding the flame poison in her body, during the time he had been purging her of it, she never seemed to show too much hatred or resentment. When he asked her about it now, her eyes still did not show any resentment, but instead revealed an indescribable complexity.
On the contrary, Mu Xiaolan became angry when she mentioned it, as if she was thinking of the murderer of her father.
“After all, it was my sister who accidentally injured his son first…” Mu Bingyun’s voice was clear, as if she was talking to herself.
Yun Che: “……?”
It sounds like the story behind this is quite complicated...but as a small outsider who has nothing to do with it, it still sounds quite exciting.
When gods fight, just don’t let it harm us little mortals.
“That ancient horned dragon is extremely terrifying. Its breath is extremely poisonous, and its blood is extremely lascivious. Almost anyone who touches it will die. It is extremely dangerous.” Mu Bingyun paused and said, “The flame poison I was infected with is actually the poison of the horned dragon’s breath. However, although the horned dragon is terrifying, it is not impossible to hunt it successfully. Last time… if it hadn’t happened, we might have succeeded. So this time, I am not surprised that the people from the Flame God Realm came to us again, and the Great Realm King is not surprised either. Moreover, the Great Realm King should not refuse it. After all, the temptation of the ancient horned dragon…”
As if she felt that she had said too many unnecessary things, Mu Bingyun shook her head slightly. In front of her, huge palaces made of ice crystals were already in sight. The cold air here, as well as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, were more than twice as dense as those in Hanxue City.
"We've arrived at the Ice Phoenix Palace. Let's go down."
Mu Bingyun changed her gestures slightly, and flew down with Yun Che and Mu Xiaolan.

[Dragon Breath: Dragon's breath. Specifically, it is the breath exhaled by a dragon, which is mainly composed of air and dragon's saliva... Well, actually it is dragon's saliva.]
[The above is just a casual explanation. Anyway, I can't go to the Burial God Inferno Prison for a while. If I go now, it won't be enough to give that Qionglong a snack... Although it will still not be enough in the future, at least it can barely fill the gap in my teeth. ]
[So, you must not watch TV series! Today someone recommended "Day and Night" to me... Suddenly I don't have time to write anymore!!]
