Chapter 60
Ji Tang held her breath. She still clearly remembered Su Jinzhou's calm and composed look before.
When she asked him if he really had the intention to kill, he just replied casually, "How could that be?", but in fact, he really had the intention to kill - he had had it since a long time ago.
Ji Tang had never seen him look so cold and stern, and he stood there for a moment, unable to recover.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Su Jinzhou had already walked through the snow back to the way he came. Ji Tang quickly removed the Wanyin Mask and called out, "Senior Brother!"
The Yuebai figure turned around suddenly.
Ji Tang stepped forward and called out again, "Senior Brother."
Su Jinzhou probably didn't expect her to come.
He opened his mouth and subconsciously licked his lips which were dry and chapped, but in the end he said nothing. He just curled his eyes and gave Jitang a smile.
Jitang also laughed. "Let's go back."
She reactivated the Myriad Hidden Shield and pulled Su Jinzhou in. "Once our Young Master is dead, those disciples won't be able to find him and will definitely suspect you. Your coming back so openly and honestly isn't that a clear sign that you're involved?"
Su Jinzhou: "Okay."
As long as senior brother smiles, all the frost and ice will turn into spring breeze and drizzle, moistening everything silently.
Ji Tang calmed her mind and led Su Jinzhou to avoid the battle circle and pass through the pile of boulders. Her senior brother followed her obediently throughout the whole process and did everything she said.
She led people back to the cave and heard some noises inside. Unexpectedly, Wei Shaoxin was still there.
Jitang pulled Su Jinzhou closer to the cave entrance, removed the Wanyin cover, and ran in as if he had just returned.
Wei Shaoxin looked up when he heard the voice and saw the two of them. "Why are you back again?"
Ji Tang: "I called my senior brother here to see if there's anything I can do to help you, Senior Brother Shao Xin."
Anyone who knew Jitang in the entire Suxuan Sect knew that Jitang only called her "senior brother" Su Jinzhou. As for other senior brothers in the same sect, she would call them by their names.
"You've come just in time. I was just wondering how to take these little treasures away!" Wei Shaoxin waved for them to come over.
Ji Tang came closer, "What little darling has you so concerned about..."
Wei Shaoxin made way and showed them a green leafy plant in front of him.
Ji Tang was puzzled. "Plants?"
Wei Shaoxin lifted the green leaves and said, "These are the eggs laid by the butterflies on the Judie Python. The Judie Python is protecting these little things."
Ji Tang's whole body trembled, and he took several steps back, almost tripping over a stone on the ground.
Su Jinzhou grabbed her, and the next moment the person in his hand retreated far away.
Wei Shaoxin nudged Su Jinzhou's shoulder helplessly and said with a smile, "Little girl, you are disgusted by all these things."
Su Jinzhou silently stepped aside and moved quite a distance away: "Senior Brother Wei, I can't do it either."
Wei Shaoxin: "Oh, you're making a fuss! What's so unbearable about this?! If you don't come over, just stand far away and help me figure out how to take them away?"
Ji Tang's face turned grim, "Why do you have to take them away?"
Wei Shaoxin rubbed his hands together: "They are all treasures! If I can successfully hatch them, it will be considered as experience. With so many butterflies on the Judie Python, our sect will never lack helpers in gathering information in the future!"
Ji Tang was really unable to help, and just then, Xun Jinzhi was outside calling for help. Ji Tang took the opportunity and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Senior Brother Shao Xin, I'm going to see what's going on with Senior Sister Jinzhi!"
As she ran out, she saw Su Jinzhou following closely behind her and couldn't help but smile and said, "Smart!"
Su Jinzhou: "Thank you so much."
Both sides outside have stopped fighting, and it seems that Emperor Xuanzong has the upper hand.
At this time, most of the disciples of Ben Luomen were injured and had no intention of fighting again. In addition, the young master had not returned yet, and without a backbone, they had no desire to fight.
This disciple of Romamon noticed Su Jinzhou coming out of the cave and suddenly there was a commotion.
Su Jinzhou has returned, but where is their young master?
"Where is our young master?"
The boat did not answer after all the nights.
"Hey, I'm asking you!"
After a while, Su Jinzhou pointed at himself uncertainly: "Me?"
"It's you!"
Su Jinzhou was puzzled: "Where is your young master? How should I know?"
"you!"
Several more Ben Luomen disciples ran forward, and Jitang realized that they were the ones who were knocked unconscious by Su Jinzhou along the way.
Calculating the time, when they woke up, the wind and snow had already covered up the previous bloodstains and spell marks. Even if they found any clues, it would not be enough to trace Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou crossed his arms and smiled, "It's you, you're awake."
"You're the one who injured us, how come you don't know where the Young Sect Master is?!"
Su Jinzhou: "You have many people and I am outnumbered. I fled back when I saw the situation was not going well. So, am I still standing there waiting for your young master to attack me?"
Jitang almost clapped his hands in applause.
She chimed in, "Why don't you go find the Young Sect Master when your Young Sect Master is missing? Instead of arguing with us, you can't even win, and yet you still want to blame us?" She twisted her wrist, "You're wasting your breath. Otherwise, just keep fighting!"
This Roman disciple had no chance of winning, so he could only retreat for the time being.
The disciple of Su Xuanzong let out his anger and felt relieved, so he went into the cave to rest.
Xun Jinzhi was called by Wei Shaoxin to the stone cave, probably for the butterfly eggs. Ji Tang watched worriedly as his senior sister's back disappeared around the corner of the stone cave, helpless.
As night fell, the wind and snow showed no sign of letting up. The snow outside the cave was already as thick as people's calves. If it continued at this rate for another night, half of the cave entrance would be buried in snow.
Xun Jinzhi felt that they could not wait any longer, so he ordered his disciples to make some preparations and go directly up the mountain.
Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou walked into the team, and fire chains were immediately wrapped around their waists. This was Xun Jinzhi's magic weapon, which was originally a weapon to control the enemy, but now it was used to tie up fellow disciples to prevent them from getting lost in the wind and snow.
Everyone used their spiritual power to protect themselves and flew up the mountain on swords.
The pressure of the entire team is on Xun Jinzhi and Wei Shaoxin. They are at the front and have to ensure the safety of the disciples while constantly determining the direction.
After walking like this for a long time, Jitang suddenly saw a large bright light in front of him, which was particularly conspicuous in the night and snow.
Xun Jinzhi and his team also saw it, and then led the team towards the light. It took some time before they finally got close to the light.
They entered the light area and the blizzard disappeared in an instant.
His vision was no longer obstructed, and Ji Tang first saw the huge lion-headed chariot in the light.
The lion-headed chariot stopped in mid-air. Two fully-equipped lions, covered in golden light, were staring at them fiercely, ready to attack, as if they might pounce and bite them at any time.
Behind the lion was a car body that was expensive to build. On both sides of the car body were placed magic weapons for lighting. If Ji Tang was not mistaken, the magic weapons should be high-level light magic weapons that could dispel dark illusions and negative states. Using them for lighting was really a luxury.
The Lion-Headed Chariot was protected by a spiritual shield. As long as the magic weapon could illuminate the area, the blizzard and darkness would not invade. Such a large spiritual shield would consume a lot of spiritual energy every minute and every second. If the owner of the Lion-Headed Chariot did not have abundant spiritual energy and a high level of cultivation, then he must have some powerful magic weapon.
Ji Tang thought for a moment, "Is this the Young Lord of Dengtian City?"
Su Jinzhou also had an impression, "That's right."
The glittering pearl curtain of the lion-head carriage was lazily lifted up, and the hand beckoned towards Xun Jinzhi.
Xun Jinzhi ignored them and turned to his fellow disciples, saying, "Let's follow the Lion Head Cart up the mountain. You should withdraw your protective spiritual energy. The more you save, the better. Anyway, with such a large spiritual shield, we won't be blown away by the wind and snow."
Ji Tang couldn't help but look towards the lion-head carriage. The young city lord had already withdrawn his hand, the bead curtain was shaking, and the person inside was leaning against the wide seat, supporting his chin with his hand, as if smiling.
After Xun Jinzhi gave his disciples his instructions, he climbed the steps of the lion-head carriage and lifted the pearl curtain to go in.
Ji Tang held Wei Shaoxin in his arms and said, "Brother Shaoxin, does Senior Sister Jinzhi know the Young City Lord of Dengtian City?"
Wei Shaoxin glanced in the direction of the Lionhead car and said with a half-smile, "More than just knowing him."
Ji Tang: "That means we are familiar with each other." No wonder the senior sisters approached without hesitation when they saw the light. It turns out they have a good relationship.
Wei Shaoxin: "Not really. It might be more appropriate to say that they love and hate each other."
Ji Tang was surprised: "Love and hate each other? Love each other?? Senior Sister Jinzhi and the Young City Lord???"
Wei Shaoxin grinned, "So surprised? They've known each other for a long time, almost two hundred years? They've participated in three Frost Competitions together and have run into each other in many secret realms. The Young City Lord even came to live in our Suxuan Sect for a while, all because of you, Senior Sister."
Ji Tang: "Are you planning to marry into the family?"
Wei Shaoxin: "Marry into the emperor's family? I haven't thought about that. Marrying into the emperor's family is good. If we marry into the emperor's family, our Xuanzong will become rich!"
An apple was thrown out from the bead curtain and hit Wei Shaoxin on the shoulder.
Wei Shaoxin smiled and rubbed his shoulders, saying nonchalantly, "Your senior sister is shy."
Ji Tang subconsciously lowered his voice, "Brother, you'd better behave yourself, or you'll get beaten up by Senior Sister."
"No," he confirmed, "Your senior sister won't be able to come out until tomorrow morning."
Su Jinzhou: "Brother, aren't you going to rest?"
Wei Shaoxin raised his eyebrows, "Yes, let's go."
The lion-headed chariot descended from the sky and the snow on the mountain began to melt.
The disciples each found a place to rest. Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou also found a pile of strange rocks, intending to practice there for one night.
Su Jinzhou cleaned the rocks, and Jitang sat on them, looking up. A blizzard raged outside the spirit barrier, but the snow melted the moment it landed on the barrier, having no effect on the people inside.
"Brother, after returning from Snowy Frost Ridge, I will go into a period of retreat."
Su Jinzhou leaned against the stone and said, "Aren't you going to look for the last ray of soul?"
Jitang sighed slightly.
Su Jinzhou: "What?"
Ji Tang: "I can't go there yet. The last soul is there."
Su Jinzhou had never heard her tell him where the last trace of her soul was. "Why?"
Ji Tang said helplessly: "It is in Yewangchuan."
Su Jinzhou was stunned, "Night...Wangchuan..."
Ji Tang shrugged, "Yes, Yewangchuan. There are only two ways for me to go there. One is to improve my cultivation to the Void Stage and break through the void to get in. The other is to die. Of course, the Dead Nightmare can enter Yewangchuan."
Seeing Su Jinzhou's frown, she smiled and said, "In order to find the last ray of soul, I will definitely be able to advance to the Void Stage. But before that, I can only practice slowly."
Su Jinzhou patted his shoulder.
Jitang moved closer and laid on the pillow.
Ji Tang: "Why did my father and mother place the last ray of my soul in Yewangchuan?"
Su Jinzhou whispered, "Don't think too much."
Jitang closed his eyes, "Yeah, I know."
Ji Tang did not practice that night. She wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, Su Jinzhou was still in the same position as last night. She gently raised her head and heard Su Jinzhou say.
"woke up."
Ji Tang was about to touch his hair to see if it was messy, but when he heard the voice, he withdrew his hand and placed it in front of him obediently, "Are you awake? Senior brother, did I disturb your practice?"
Su Jinzhou's eyes curved slightly, "No."
Is he not practicing or is he not disturbing you?
Jitang was just thinking when he heard the sound of the lion-head carriage. Xun Jinzhi got out of the carriage and looked at the disciples. When he glanced at Jitang, his eyes met hers and he waved at her.
Su Jinzhou: "Go ahead, your hair won't be messy."
Ji Tang: "Ah? Oh..." She stood up and walked over, still wondering what Su Jinzhou meant by "no".
Xuan Jinzhi: "I got up pretty early."
Ji Tang tugged at her dress and said, "I was lazy and didn't practice."
Xuan Jinzhi shook his head. "It's a good idea to combine work and rest. There's no point in being lazy. He wants to see you."
Ji Tang was a little slow, "Who?"
Xun Jinzhi pointed at the person in the lion-head car, "Him."
